Together with Shareholders and Investors

Fuji Electric considers communication with its shareholders and investors to be important and accordingly works to disclose information in a timely, appropriate and easy-to-understand manner.

Information Disclosure and Communication

Basic IR Activity Policies

To maintain the understanding and trust of its shareholders and investors, Fuji Electric discloses information in accordance with relevant laws and regulations. We also go beyond these requirements to disclose information promptly and fairly even when not legally required to do so whenever material information is judged likely to affect investment decisions.

We communicate directly with shareholders and investors through our IR activities.

Dialog with Shareholders and Investors

During the presentation of its management plan in May 2010, Fuji Electric announced three important policies: “expanding our business on a global scale,” “focusing on energy and the environment,” and “activating human resources and strengthening Group synergies.” We also explained the important measures we would implement to achieve our goals.

In addition to presenting quarterly financial results, we outlined plans focusing on the energy and the environment business, as well as research and development plans.

We also sought to increase opportunities for dialogue with all investors by holding small meetings with Japanese institutional investors, visiting with investors from the United States and Asia, and participating in IR seminars for individual investors. We held factory tours at Kawasaki and Suzuka, with a total of 200 shareholders participating.

We will expand opportunities for reporting on our management and business during FY2011, continuously promoting IR activities and working to build further trust among our shareholders and investors.

TOPICS
Factory Tours for Shareholders at Kawasaki and Suzuka

Fuji Electric has been conducting factory tours for shareholders since FY2007 so as to deepen their understanding of what we do.
In FY2010, we held tours of the Kawasaki factory, which manufactures steam turbines for power plants, as well as of the Suzuka factory, which is our manufacturing base for general-purpose inverters and motors. The president also provided a report on management policy and our results, as well as our operations going forward.
We will continue to engage in activities such as factory tours to create even better relations with our shareholders.

Returning Profits to Shareholders

We determine the amount of dividends to be paid from retained earnings by taking into consideration the medium- to long-term business cycle, our policy of paying stable and continuous dividends, business results of the relevant fiscal year, research and development and capital investment plans for future growth, and business conditions.

We regard the acquisition of treasury stock as a flexible mechanism to supplement dividends in returning profits when warranted by the cash flow position.

Using IR Tools to Provide Information

Fuji Electric uses a variety of means to provide IR information, such as publication of our Annual Report every August (in FY2011 it was combined with the CSR Report to form the Fuji Electric Report, issued in October), quarterly reports to shareholders, and a Shareholder and Investor Information section on our website.

In FY2010, we provided details on our website of the Mid-Term Management Plan, which was announced in February 2010. We included a full range of information covering segment data, corporate governance information, and financial data.
