SMS Group’s Event Hosting Policies (Updated)

　We extend our condolences to the families of those who have passed away as a result of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), and extend our sympathies to all those who have been infected. We would also like to express our deepest gratitude for the medical care and elderly care professionals and all those who are working on the front lines to prevent and respond to the spread of infection.
　SMS Co., Ltd. (Representative Director: Natsuki Goto) and its subsidiaries (“SMS Group”) have refrained from holding events from February 26 to June 30, 2020, due to the concern regarding the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).

As a result of these considerations, we have decided to hold or cancel the events in July as follows.
　Event information after August will be announced at a later date.
