Special accounts are accounts created and managed by the special accounts manager (Mizuho Trust & Banking Co., Ltd.) for shareholders who hold share certificates not deposited with the Japan Securities Depository Center by the time of implementation of the Electronic Share Certificate System (January 2009).
Shares may not be traded through special accounts. If you believe you may have share certificates held in a special account, we recommend you transfer your certificates to a trading account at a securities company as soon as possible.
