Tokyo Stock Exchange, Inc. (TSE) has electronically distributed the "Practical Handbook for English Disclosure" to all listed companies from the perspective of promoting English disclosure initiatives taken by listed companies. TSE has compiled this handbook to assist listed companies in preparing materials to be disclosed in English when they start or expand their English disclosure practices by offering advice, such as how to draw up plans for disclosing information in English, how to outsource translation, and how to use machine translation tools. We expect that translating documents into English will just be a starting point for listed companies as they continue their efforts to expand their English disclosure practices, engaging in constructive dialogue with overseas investors, attracting their investment, and ultimately enhancing their corporate value over the medium- to long-term. TSE will continue to encourage initiatives for strengthened English disclosure practices and improved accessibility.
