On July 9, 2021, SDK received the result of the first-stage judgement on the Company's eligibility for the Prime Market from TSE, and we confirmed that the Company has cleared criteria for maintaining its listing on the Prime Market, which is to be created by TSE as a result of restructuring of its current stock market into three new market segments. Following this confirmation, the Board of Directors meeting resolved today to choose the Prime Market for listing, and submit application for admission into the Prime Market.
SDK will follow the schedule set by TSE, and go through prescribed procedures for the application for admission into the Prime Market.
