The basic policy is not to hold strategic shareholdings. However, the Company will hold such shares only where there is a high degree of rationale for doing so, such as maintaining medium- to long-term relationships, stable procurement, or technology partnerships, and will consider selling them or taking other action where the rationale is limited. The number of holdings and their amount are not disclosed.
