1. Location of office or Address
Unknown

2. Content, etc. of Business
Indication on the corporate website that the company conducts financial instruments business without the statutory registration in Japan

3. Notes
The company misrepresents on the web site indicating “We handle securities offerings.”.
Furthermore, the company misrepresents itself as a registered financial instruments business operator on the website indicating such as “会社名:Optiver Australia Pty Limited” and “登録番号:関東財務局長(高速)第6号 平成30年6月22日”, which mean “Company Name: Optiver Australia Pty Limited” and “Registration Number: Kanto Local Finance Bureau (High-Speed) No. 6, 22 June 2018”, thereby fraudulently using the trade name of a registered high-speed trader and the registration number issued by the Local Finance Bureau.
Although high-speed traders are not permitted to participate in IPO allocations, the company provides misleading explanations suggesting it participates in IPO share allocation.
