<p>In relation to my previous articles "Update on "Transitional Measures" for TSE Market Reorganization" and "TOPIX Reform Update", I would like to update you on a noteworthy disclosure. On September 21, Oracle Corporation Japan (4716) made a disclosure titled "Announcement of Application for Selection of New Market Category "Standard Market."" Currently, many listed companies have released "Notice of Application for Selection of New Market Classification". The reason why Oracle Corporation Japan (4716)'s disclosure attracted attention is that the company, which is currently listed on the TSE 1st Section, has applied for the new market segment "Standard Market". As you know, under the new market classification, the market will be reorganized into three markets: Prime Market, Standard Market, and Growth Market. The current TSE 1st Section is roughly equivalent to the Prime Market, the TSE 2nd Section and the JASDAQ Market are roughly equivalent to the Standard Market, and the TSE Mothers Market is roughly equivalent to the Growth Market. Oracle Corporation Japan, which is currently listed on the TSE 1st Section, chose to list on the Standard Market, which is considered to be the equivalent of the TSE 2nd Section and the JASDAQ Market, which is different from what most listed companies are doing.</p>
