Japan Exchange Group Concluded NDA With Tokyo Commodity Exchange

In connection with advancing research and discussion of the comprehensive exchange initiative as set out in its Medium-Term Management Plan, JPX has today concluded a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) with Tokyo Commodity Exchange, Inc. (TOCOM) as a prerequisite for entering into concrete discussions.

Moving forward, JPX will have concrete discussions with TOCOM. This matter is currently at a deliberation stage, and no decision, including whether to move to realize a comprehensive exchange, has been made.

JPX will conduct prompt disclosure in the event where any matter requiring disclosure emerges.
