For the purpose of clarification, corresponding provisions are to be newly established in the FRC's Articles of Incorporation (proposed changes (attached) related to Article 11) to set forth said amendment as well as to stipulate that all or part of the matters, for which electronic provision measures are to be taken as provided for in the applicable Cabinet Office Ordinance, may be excluded from being stated in the paper-based documents to be delivered to unitholders who have made a request for such documents.
- In association with the adoption of the "Accounting Standard for Financial Instruments" (ASBJ Statement No. 10) (including related newly enacted or revised accounting standards and application guidelines, etc.), the necessary changes concerning the valuation method of assets are to be implemented (proposed changes (attached) related to Article 34).
