Olympus Postpones Results

On a recent press release, Olympus announced that it will be postponing the financial results for its fiscal year ending March 2020. The press release says that it is requesting the domestic and overseas employees to work from home with the purpose of preventing infections from the spread of the new coronavirus. Under these circumstances, the company is making every effort to continue providing products and services to medical professionals and other stakeholders. However, the company has judged that it is difficult to proceed with the scheduled accounting procedures implemented by it as scheduled.

The company has postponed the announcement of the fiscal year ended March 2020 and the date of the 152nd general meeting of shareholders is scheduled for late June 2020. The company says that it sincerely apologises for the inconvenience and concern caused to its shareholders, investors and other stakeholders and asks for their understanding.
