Standards and Approach to Investment Stock Classification

The company classifies investment stock as stock held for purposes of pure investment and stock held for purposes other than pure investment. Investment stock held for purposes of pure investment is held for the purpose of generating profit from fluctuations in market value. Investment stock held for purposes other than pure investment is held for purposes other than profit.

Investment Stock Held for Purposes Other Than Pure Investment

  1. Holding Policy and Method for Verifying Holding Rationale and Board of Director Meeting Details Related to Verification of the Suitability of Individual Stock Holdings
    The Aeon Mall policy on cross-shareholding is to hold shares for the purpose of contributing to improved Aeon Mall Group corporate value over the medium and long term. This policy considers a number of factors including business strategy and business relationships.
    Our board of directors meets to review individual cross shareholdings on an annual basis, considering the purpose for holding shares, risks involved in holding shares, the cost of capital, and other economic rationale on a comprehensive basis, determining the reasonableness for cross-shareholdings. We consider selling shareholdings when deemed as having little significance, considering the impact of such sales on the markets.
