Involvement withcustomers

Proposing new interiors for next-generation vehicles

There have been dramatic changes surrounding the auto industry in recent years. Inorder to respond to these changes, accurately identify customer needs, and provide
products that exceed expectations, it is important for the TS TECH Group to promotedialogue with customers, including on product and technical proposals.
As part of this effort, in November 2022 we held a presentation event to showcase the Group’s next-generation vehicle interiors, where we made product proposals to Japanese and other automakers. It provided an opportunity to unveil our new
XR Cabin, which uses virtual reality technology and enables customers to experience
TS TECH driving support features and high-efficiency seat climate control. The event
also showcased a number of our other cutting-edge technologies, and customers
provided a range of comments and opinions.
Based on this feedback, we are working to develop products that better meetcustomer needs, while also further refining our proprietary technologies to offer
products that are even more appealing to our customers.

Relationships withshareholders and investors

Opinions received through proactive dialogue are reflected

We proactively carry out IR activities to ensure that all shareholders
and investors understand the TS TECH Group’s financial results andmanagement approach. We post financial results and timely disclosure information promptly on our website, hold financial results
briefings every six months, and disclose these materials on ourwebsite. We also provide opportunities for securities analysts andinstitutional investors to meet with us every fiscal quarter, and holdover 250 dialogues each year. The valuable opinions we obtain inthese dialogues are reported to the Board of Directors and othermeetings and reflected in management. We believe this will raise
corporate value in a sustainable way.
