Overview

Japan IPO records combine exchange listing review, securities registration disclosure, underwriting / bookbuilding, listing approval, TDnet timely disclosure, EDINET statutory disclosure, and post-listing corporate-governance records. This page records the public route for issuer entry onto TSE-listed markets.

This page belongs to securities domain and links to finance domain, Tokyo Stock Exchange, Japan Exchange Group, Japan underwriting market structure, Japan market infrastructure map, Japan securities license stack, Japan IB league table, and fair disclosure and insider trading controls.

Initial listing criteria differ by segment. JPX publishes separate criteria and guidebook materials for Prime, Standard, Growth, and foreign-stock routes. The page-level source snapshot identifies the market segment being referenced.

TDnet Route

TDnet is the exchange disclosure rail for listed-company timely disclosure. JPX states that listed companies are required by listing rules to use TDnet for timely disclosure. TDnet public surfaces include Company Announcements Disclosure Service / 適時開示情報閲覧サービス, Listed Company Search / 東証上場会社情報サービス, and paid TDnet database services.

JPX states that TDnet-posted disclosure is made publicly inspectable at the same time as TDnet disclosure and can complete publication measures for insider-trading purposes for material facts and certain tender-offer facts. This connects IPO / listing records to fair disclosure and insider trading controls.
