News Release

Oct. 24, 2019 TSE SCRIPTS Asia and Tokyo Stock Exchange Partner to Provide Japan Investor Event Coverage through TSE PoC Platform

 

SCRIPTS Asia Inc. ("SCRIPTS Asia", CEO: Erik Abbott) and Tokyo Stock Exchange, Inc. ("TSE", President & CEO: Koichiro Miyahara) today announced that they will provide SCRIPTS Asia's industry-leading database of Japanese corporate investor events through the TSE's Proof of Concept (PoC) test environment (note).

Event transcripts will be made available in both Japanese and English, which will help to reduce the information gap between domestic and overseas investors.

Background

Investor event coverage has long been available for US and European markets, providing transparency and context to a company's financial results. On the other hand, event data in Asian markets traditionally has been restricted to the analysts or shareholders and required in-person attendance. To address this information gap, and to further open Japanese investor events, SCRIPTS Asia and TSE will cooperate to provide transcripts and English translations for investors worldwide.

Content

Through the PoC, users will be able to access SCRIPTS Asia's event data for the following event types: earnings meetings, analyst briefings, shareholder meetings, product releases, and special situations. SCRIPTS Asia works directly with each public company to receive permission for event attendance. SCRIPTS Asia Corporate Partner program has been well-received, with more than 400 companies in Japan participating.

Process

Application

PoC Testing Participants must be trading participants of TSE or Osaka Exchange, Inc., clearing participants of Japan Securities Clearing Corporation, or any other corporation deemed appropriate by TSE. Prospective participants are required to apply for both the PoC Program for Utilizing Securities Data and this PoC Testing program separately. For information on how to apply, please contact TSE using the following address.
