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

The Company views returning profits to shareholders as an important management priority. At the same time, we also prioritize building internal reserves to support technological innovation. Our basic policy is to implement dividends that reflect our earnings performance.

We intend to use retained earnings to strengthen our management foundation and support future business development through capital expenditures and other investments.

Regarding dividend distributions each fiscal year, we will continue the practice of paying dividends twice annually: an interim dividend and a year-end dividend. The year-end dividend is determined by the shareholders' meeting, while the interim dividend is determined by the board of directors.

For this fiscal year, we have set the dividend at 12 yen per share. This reflects our commitment to reward shareholders who have supported us despite recent performance challenges, and to demonstrate our confidence in achieving the targets outlined in our medium-term management plan.

The Company has provisions in place to allow for interim dividend payments.

 

(Note) Dividend distributions with record dates in this fiscal year are as follows:
