<h3 class="smt_head2">3 [Dividend Policy]</h3>

Our company group considers appropriate profit returns to shareholders as one of the most important management priorities. Based on comprehensive judgment of business performance, financial condition, and other factors, we distribute profits with the basic principle of maintaining stable dividends.

Our basic policy is to pay dividends twice per year: an interim dividend and a year-end dividend. The interim dividend is decided by the Board of Directors, while the year-end dividend is decided by the General Meeting of Shareholders.

Regarding the year-end dividend for this fiscal period, we have set the ordinary dividend at 13 yen per share to respond to shareholder support and continue stable dividend payments. Since we paid an interim dividend of 12 yen per share, the total annual dividend for this fiscal period is 25 yen per share.

We allocate retained earnings to capital investment in growth areas, environmental measures, and strengthening our corporate structure to withstand intensifying industry competition. We also build financial reserves to further strengthen our management foundation, which we believe will meet shareholder expectations.

Based on Article 454, Paragraph 5 of the Companies Act, our Articles of Incorporation provide that the Board of Directors may authorize interim dividends to shareholders or registered pledgees recorded in the shareholder register as of September 30 each year.

 

(Note) Dividends of surplus with record dates in this fiscal year are as follows:
