Earlier Timing of Disclosure in English May Create Another Mismatch with Investor Demand

By Aki Matsumoto

  • Regarding the three most in-demand documents, only 30-50% of companies with over 30% foreign ownership disclose them in English. The mismatch between overseas investors’ demand and companies’ disclosure continues.
  • If TSE requires faster timing of disclosure in English, companies may limit the materials they disclose in English due to increased burden. Disclosing necessary materials is more important than timing.
  • In order to encourage companies to disclose in English in their annual securities reports, the Corporate Governance Code should clearly state the disclosure in English in the annual securities report.
