March 23, 2009 - We are delighted to announce that, as of today, INTAGE will be listed on the 1st Section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange. Thanks to the enormous support of all our stakeholders, INTAGE was able to make this great leap after joining the Jasdaq Securities Exchange in November 2001, then the 2nd Section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange in January last year.

Since its establishment as the ‘intelligence provider’ in 1960, INTAGE has been offering information and systems for decision-making to clients in a wide range of industries, leveraging its specialized marketing research and system solutions know-how.

Next year, 2010, will mark INTAGE’s 50th anniversary. It is worth noting that we are now envisaging our future over the next 50 years while in the middle of a once-in-a-century economic crisis. Anticipating how much impact this economic crisis will have on the future of Japan or the world is no easy feat. However, one thing is clear - we will never be back where we were before the crisis even if the economy recovers. The key word will be ‘sustainability’. The world is now beginning to search for a new paradigm for its economy, society and environment that is compatible with sustainable growth.

With the listing on the 1st Section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange, all of us at INTAGE, directors and employees alike, will stay committed to growing and evolving as a sustainable company for the next 50 years.

President and Representative Director
