Okasan Securities Operates Work Experience Booth at the "Waku Waku! Challenge Town" Event

Okasan Securities Co., Ltd. (the "Company") operated a booth at the "Waku Waku! Challenge Town," a work experience event held at the Yume Dome Ueno athletic facility in Iga City, Mie Prefecture, on Saturday, July 30, 2011.

Held for the second time, Waku Waku! Challenge Town was launched last year as part of the "Project for Supporting the Children of Mie," which is being run by the Mie Prefectural Government's children's bureau in collaboration with local companies and residents. Okasan Securities Group Inc. endorses the objective of the project and has been providing cooperation. Twenty four companies and organizations in Mie Prefecture set up booths and offered children the chance to try out a total of 18 jobs at the event this year. About 600 elementary school pupils and junior high school students who attended Waku Waku! Challenge Town took advantage of these opportunities, and gained experience with real-life work and exchanging name cards.

Okasan Securities employees taught the children about structure of investment and world money at a booth set up by the Company. The employees came mainly from the Company's Head Office and Iga Ueno Branch Office. An equity investment game using dice and imitation bills proved particularly popular among both children and their guardians. The game makes learning about equities investing fun.

Okasan Securities to Install AEDs at All Offices

In June 2009, Okasan Securities Co., Ltd. has installed automated external defibrillators (AEDs) at all of its offices in Japan (Head Office, branch offices, business offices, and others: Total 60 locations).
The AEDs are available for use in emergencies involving visiting customers, community residents, and Okasan Securities staff.

A sticker indicating the presence of an AED is displayed near the entrance of each branch office and business office, so that neighboring residents are also able to use it.
To coincide with the installation, employees of the Company have undertaken a course on AED use and on cardio-pulmonary resuscitation, so that they will be able to use the equipment quickly and properly.

Reference

An AED is a portable medical device that is able to treat people suffering a sudden life threatening cardiac arrest due to ventricular fibrillation, by normalizing the actions of their heart with an electric shock (electric defibrillation). Traditionally used by doctors and emergency responders, ordinary citizens have been permitted to operate the equipment since July 2004.
