In order to prevent asymmetric information distribution and unauthorized disclosures regarding the financial statements, the Company avoids discussing the Company's operating results and financial status to be reported in the financial statements with capital market participants during certain periods of the calendar year. This period is called the "quiet period". The quiet period for the Company begins on the day following the end of the three-month, six-month and annual accounting periods and ends one business day after the day the financial statements and footnotes are disclosed to the public.

In addition, during the quiet period (only for the annual and six-month accounting periods), persons with inside information or continuous information or the spouses, children or persons living in the same household of such persons are prohibited from trading in the Company's capital market instruments.
