Openly Accessible General Shareholders Meetings

Mazda hopes to enable as many shareholders as possible to attend its annual General Shareholders Meeting, which is an excellent opportunity to learn about Mazda policies. For this reason, Mazda schedules its general shareholders meeting on a different day than the majority of other companies.

We also make a conscientious effort to answer shareholders' questions—not just to the extent required under corporate law but as fully as possible without violating corporate secrecy agreements.

Taking Advantage of Communication Opportunities and Enhancing Disclosure

Mazda publishes annual reports in English, Japanese and Chinese, has an extensive official IR website, and conducts quarterly financial results announcements. These are all part of our commitment towards the prompt disclosure of information. Additionally, we held a factory tour of our Hiroshima Plant for shareholders in February 2007, which was very popular with participants. In the future, we plan to continue holding events for our shareholders.
