Information on shareholdings

As of March 31, 2023

Investment securities classification standards and approach

For the classifications of investment securities for pure investment purposes and investment securities for purposes other than pure investment, Akebono uses investment shares for pure investment purposes to receive profits from changes in the value of shares or dividends related to shares, and also uses other investment shares for purposes other than pure investment purposes (cross-shareholdings).

Investment securities held for purposes other than pure investment

Holding policies, methods for verifying the rationality of holding, and contents that have been verified by the Board of Directors, etc. concerning the appropriateness of holding shares of individual companies

As a general rule, Akebono shall not acquire or hold shares of other companies except when, in the course of business conducted by the Company, it is necessary to establish a cooperative relationship in terms of business strategy and to contribute to continuous growth and improve corporate value in the medium- to long-term for the Company by strengthening competitiveness for existing business as well as by expanding areas of new business.
In consideration of the purpose of holding individual cross-shareholdings and the economic value obtained by Akebono through the acquisition and holding of shares of relevant companies, the Board of Directors will take a medium- to long-term view and continuously conduct thorough investigations and verifications every year to reduce the number of shares that are held without a rational basis.
