Exhibit at Tokyo Motor Show Coincides with First Information Meeting for Individual Shareholders
Popular Alpine exhibition stand Results briefing for individual investors
Alpine exhibited at the 43rd Tokyo Motor Show 2013, held at the Tokyo Big Site from November 20 to
December 1.
The Alpine exhibition stand highlighted the latest system in the BIG X in-vehicle navigation system series
and our Information Management Cockpit.
The BIG-X series display, which featured our latest products to enhance people’s enjoyment of
automobiles, was especially popular with drivers in their child-rearing years.
The Information Management Cockpit, which is based on the concept of “responding to the driver’s
feelings,” utilizes the latest sensor technologies to observe the driver’s sight line and motions to support
the driver by displaying the information most appropriate given the driver’s gestures and the road
conditions. The display enabled many people to get a hands-on experience with the system’s innovative
operability, strengthening the appeal of the Alpine brand.
During the motor show, on November 23 we held our first ever information meeting for individual
shareholders at a hotel near the Tokyo Big Site, which around 50 shareholders attended.
The information meeting presented an outline of Alpine’s business and explained the company’s efforts at
monozukuri, including our commitment to the highest quality standards. Shareholders and Alpine directors
engaged in a useful exchange of opinions, with shareholders asking questions and expressing their
opinions on future management strategy and shareholder returns.
A survey of attending shareholders provided extremely useful inputs for management consideration,
including the opportunity to meet with management in a format different from the ordinary general
shareholders’ meeting and deepen their understanding of the company’s history and philosophy. Many
shareholders said they hoped the company would continue to hold such meetings in the future.
We plan to continue such efforts to increase communication with shareholders and build a stronger relation
based trust and confidence in the company.
