In addition to providing quarterly announcements to explain its business results, the Company holds frequent meetings with investment analysts and institutional investors both in Japan and overseas, and provides them with relevant financial information. The Company also keeps shareholders informed via such tools as its Investor relations website, annual reports, and shareholder correspondence.

Mazda also offers several events for individual shareholders. In March 2011, Mazda hosted an Environmental Technology Forum at the Mazda R&D Center in Yokohama, where shareholders listened to presentations on CSR at Mazda and technical discussions by Mazda engineers who are developing its new-generation SKYACTIV TECHNOLOGY. Attendees also gained an in-depth understanding of Mazda's latest environmental breakthroughs by test-driving vehicles equipped with Mazda's i-stop idling-stop system and riding in hydrogen rotary engine vehicles. The Company gained vital feedback from many of the individual shareholders who attended.

Mazda will continue to offer a wide range of events and communication to promote a deeper and broader understanding of its corporate activities.
