IR Activities
Main Activities and Results (Fiscal 2013)
Shareholder Meetings
We regard shareholder meetings as an important forum for communication with shareholders. To make it easier for more shareholders to participate, we avoid scheduling meetings on peak days when the shareholder meetings of other companies are concentrated.
When voting rights are to be exercised, we make efforts to ensure that all shareholders fully understand matters on the agenda through steps including mailing notices of shareholder meetings as early as possible while posting these notices on our website.
In fiscal 2013, we continued to provide information to shareholders who could not attend the shareholder meeting. For example, we posted the voting agenda and other materials on our website on the day of the shareholder meeting. Voting results were announced on our website the day after the shareholder meeting. We also made a webcast of the shareholder meeting and presentation materials available for a certain period.
We provide the means for shareholders to exercise their votes when they are unable to attend a shareholder meeting on the day it is held-in addition to voting by mail, shareholders may also exercise their votes over the Internet.
Direct Dialogue with Investors and Securities Analysts
In order to facilitate greater understanding of our business operations, financial trends, and strategies, we hold management-led earnings briefings, as well as briefings on specific business operations and other presentations.
- In fiscal 2013, NEC held management-led earnings presentations (4 presentations a year; including presentations in April and October 2012 by the president of NEC), a Smart Energy Business Briefing (July 2012), a presentation on Research & Development at NEC (December 2012) and a Storage Battery Business Briefing (February 2013).
- With emphasis on direct dialogue with securities analysts and institutional investors, NEC management and IR staff actively visited investors in Japan and overseas.
IR Website
NEC provides shareholders and other investors with a variety of information through its IR website, in order to deepen their understanding of its business operations. In fiscal 2013, we continuously upgraded our IR website with the aim of making it easier for visitors to use and understand. The IR website is outlined as follows:
- We have reorganized a diverse array of content, including IR Library, Financial Data, Stock and Bond and other sections of our website by category and posted this information on the website. In this way, we have structured the website to allow users to easily find needed information.
- We strive to provide the latest financial data, press releases and other information in a timely manner. There is also an IR E-mail distribution service that provides updated information on a timely basis to subscribers via email. Schedules for planned earnings presentations and various other events, as well as plans to post publications on the website, are announced on the IR Calendar of Events as soon as details are determined.
- In order to ensure fair disclosure of information disclosed at presentations for institutional investors and securities analysts to the general public, we post presentation materials and Q&A details on the website in a timely manner. Audio streaming of presentation details is also provided promptly. In addition, we post summary versions of certain presentation materials, as part of efforts to develop website content that is easier to understand.
- On our webpage for individual investors (Japanese site only) we post announcements of briefings for individual investors and reports on briefings. We also post presentation materials handed out at the briefings, along with main questions and answers.
- There is also a FAQ section that helps to immediately answer questions or clear up uncertainties about NEC. We also have an Inquiry Form, which makes it easy to ask questions. We also provide a Website Questionnaire form on our site to gather opinions from visitors that helps us to develop an IR website that is easier to use and understand.
