SB Technology Corp. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, President ＆ CEO: Shinichi Ata, hereinafter referred to as SBT) is the JPX Nikkei Small and Medium Cap, which is jointly calculated by JPX Research Institute, Ltd. and Nihon Keizai Shimbun, Inc. We would like to inform you that we have been selected as a constituent stock of the index for fiscal year 2023 (August 31, 2023 to August 29, 2024), for the second time since fiscal year 2022.

The JPX-Nikkei Mid-Small Cap Index applies the concept introduced at the time of the introduction of the JPX-Nikkei Index 400, which consists of "companies that are highly attractive to investors," to small- and medium-sized stocks, thereby promoting efficient capital utilization and investment. The aim is to select companies that manage their businesses with people in mind, and to disseminate and promote this awareness among a wider range of companies.
The constituent stocks are selected from common stocks whose main markets are the Prime, Standard, and Growth markets of Tokyo Stock Exchange. The 200 stocks were selected based on scoring criteria (return on equity), three-year cumulative operating profit), and qualitative factors (appointment of independent outside directors, appointment of female executives, etc.).

SBT aims to realize a sustainable society through its business and corporate activities under the management philosophy of "Information Revolution - Happiness for everyone `- Technologies Design the Future -." From 2022, we will strengthen our sustainability activities, identifying six materialities, disclosing ESG data, declaring carbon neutrality in 2030, and supporting and disclosing TCFD (Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures) recommendations. I did.
We will continue to strengthen the promotion of sustainability through our business and corporate activities and aim to improve sustainability and corporate value.
