Since June 1, 2009, amendments to the so-called firewalls regulations have come into force.

In this context, Crédit Agricole Securities Asia B.V., Tokyo Branch (hereinafter referred to as "Branch") would like to exchange and share non-public information (indicating "non-public information" as prescribed in Article 1.4(xii) of the Business Ordinance on past transactions, the transaction schedule, and the timing of transactions, etc.; hereinafter "non-public information") about your company among our group's companies (including the Branch; hereinafter referred to individually or in combination as "our group company") in accordance with Article 153.2 of the Cabinet Office Ordinance regarding Financial Instruments Business ("Business Ordinance"). and as an exception to the duty of confidentiality our group owes to your company.
