<h3 class="smt_head2">3 [Dividend Policy]</h3>
Our basic policy is to maintain and continue stable dividends while taking into account our business performance and retained earnings.
Our basic policy is to pay dividends once per fiscal year as a year-end dividend. The year-end dividend is decided by the shareholders' meeting, while interim dividends are decided by the board of directors.
Regarding the dividend on surplus for the current fiscal year, while our performance for this fiscal year resulted as described in "Section 2: Business Overview," we anticipate recovery in the next fiscal year. Therefore, we have set the dividend at 3 yen per share (3 yen annually), the same as the previous fiscal year.
Retained earnings will be effectively utilized for strengthening our corporate foundation through nurturing new businesses and capital investments.
Our articles of incorporation provide that the board of directors may pay dividends on surplus to shareholders or registered pledgees of shares listed or recorded in the final shareholder register as of September 30 each year, in accordance with Article 454, Paragraph 5 of the Companies Act.
