Corporate Information Disclosure Committee

In order to ensure fast, accurate, and fair disclosure of information on Konica Minolta, a Corporate Information Disclosure Committee has been established directly under the president.

Role and Structure of the Corporate Information Disclosure Committee

The committee serves as an executive body for information disclosure controls and procedures.

Konica Minolta has established information disclosure controls and procedures to ensure the fast, accurate, and fair disclosure of information concerning the holding company and all Group companies, according to relevant regulations. In order to perform this function, a Corporate Information Disclosure Committee has been established directly under the president and CEO.

The role of the committee is to manage and coordinate the unified disclosure of corporate information in accordance with information disclosure controls and procedures. The executive officer in charge of accounting and finance serves as the chairperson of this committee, and other officers also serve on the committee, including those in charge of PR, IR, management strategy, legal affairs, general affairs, and the office of the Board of Directors.

The supporting organization for this committee consists of a secretariat made up of managers or staff from the office of the Board of Directors and accounting, as well as division chiefs from accounting, PR, IR, management strategy, and legal affairs. There is also a secretariat advisory panel made up of experts concerning compliance and relevant laws.

Activities of the Corporate Information Disclosure Committee

The committee is working to strengthen and unify the management of corporate information disclosure through Group-wide cooperation.

The Corporate Information Disclosure Committee performs the following activities in order to properly gather Konica Minolta Group information with speed and accuracy.

1. Raising awareness and providing training on information items subject to timely disclosure (decisions, occurrences, and financial reporting information)
2. Establishing regular and emergency communication routes, as well as promotion of complete information gathering within the Group, through cooperation with the Corporate Information Disclosure Positions established at each principal Group company
3. Systematizing authority among members of the Corporate Information Disclosure secretariat to preview documents and notices relating all kinds of internal approval matters
4. Securing a rapid, accurate response in the event of an emergency, through the establishment of regular and emergency routes for communication with other committees inside the Group, such as the Risk Management Committee and the Compliance Committee
5. Clarifying internal procedures relating to the preparation, proofreading, and distribution of ongoing disclosure reports, and managing the procedures concerned
6. Submitting documents to certify that the materials, data, and other information submitted by each relevant executive officer to the president are accurate and complete
7. Consulting with outside attorneys and certified public accountants as necessary and generating feedback

Further Initiatives for Corporate Information Disclosure

We are promoting objective analytic determination and release of corporate information.

In order to ensure more reliable disclosure of corporate information based upon relevant laws, the members of the Corporate Information Disclosure Committee and its secretariat, and the Corporate Information Disclosure Positions at each principle Group company, observe the following.

1. Adhering to relevant laws in all processes for execution of information disclosure controls and procedures; in the event of any uncertainties, consulting an attorney or other expert, and following the advice provided
2. Careful examination and review of the content and format of corporate information to be released
3. Securing prompt and simultaneous transmission of corporate information releases
4. Promoting voluntary information releases when necessary or desirable, going beyond information disclosure required by relevant laws

The Corporate Audit Division also performs annual audits based on internal audit regulations concerning the operations of the Corporate Information Disclosure Committee and its secretariat, along with the conditions for execution of information disclosure controls and procedures.
