JPX Market Innovation & Research, Inc. (JPXI) has resolved to make SCRIPTS Asia a wholly owned subsidiary, subject to the approval of the relevant authorities.
SCRIPTS Asia is a company which creates transcripts of events for investors held by listed companies and translates them into English within a short time after the events, then distributes them to domestic and overseas institutional investors, securities companies, and the like. There are high expectations from overseas investors for the disclosure and provision of company information in English. JPXI aims to promote further expansion of English disclosure practices through the acquisition of SCRIPTS Asia.
In addition, together with ICJ, Inc. and Minsetsu, Inc. which have capital relationships with Japan Exchange, Inc. (JPX), JPX will look to increase the volume of information and enhance operational efficiency in dialogue between investors and shareholders, and promote constructive dialogue between listed companies and investors. JPX aims to contribute to the expansion and invigoration of the Japanese stock market.
