As a securities finance company with a social mission to continue operations that serve as infrastructure for the securities market, such as loans for margin transactions, for the handling of a possible disaster event such as a large-scale earthquake JSF has established a business continuity plan (BCP) system so that operations can be continued or resumed as soon as possible in order to minimize the impact of the disaster on our business partners and related external organizations. The Company has positioned the loans for margin transactions, loans for negotiable margin transactions and fund/securities settlement businesses as operations to be continued on a priority basis. We have established a policy assuming the respective cases of (i) injury (or threat of injury) to officers and employees, and damage to buildings etc., (ii) damage to the Company’s main centers, and (iii) insufficient personnel.
