[Link Saussure] Launch of 'IR Event Calendar,' a Portal Site for Individual Investor IR Events

Link Saussure Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President: Daijin Shirafuji; hereinafter "the Company") is pleased to announce the release of "IR Event Calendar" (https://www.ir-event.com/), a portal site dedicated to IR events for individual investors.

Background of the Service

In recent years, the importance of sustainable corporate value enhancement through dialogue with investors has grown, making IR events such as financial results briefings invaluable opportunities for management to communicate their messages directly. Reflecting this trend, the number of company briefings for individual investors is on the rise, reaching approximately 300 events per month. However, investors have faced the challenge of the burden of collecting and organizing scattered event information.

"IR Event Calendar" streamlines information gathering by comprehensively aggregating online briefings for individual investors held in Japan. It provides an interface that allows users to check market segments, application deadlines, and speaker information at a glance, supporting investors in making proactive event selections. Furthermore, by navigating to company detail pages, users can grasp past events and future schedules in chronological order, allowing them to confirm a specific company's policy regarding events for individual investors. Combined with an email newsletter for new information, the service creates more efficient opportunities for dialogue between companies and individual investors.
