<h3>3. Dividend Policy</h3>

Our basic dividend policy is to distribute earnings backed by business performance, taking into full consideration shareholder returns, our future earnings forecasts, and the strengthening of our corporate foundation.

We maintain a basic policy of paying dividends twice annually: an interim dividend and a year-end dividend. The year-end dividend is decided by the shareholders' meeting, while the interim dividend is decided by the board of directors.
Our articles of incorporation provide that the board of directors may declare an interim dividend based on May 31 of each year.
Regarding the year-end dividend for the current period, we regret to inform you that we have decided to forgo payment in light of the uncertain and challenging business outlook ahead.
We intend to use retained earnings for strategic investments to strengthen our cost competitiveness in response to anticipated changes in the business environment, enhance our technology and manufacturing development capabilities to meet market needs, and advance our global strategy.

Our basic dividend policy is to distribute earnings backed by solid business performance, while giving full consideration to shareholder returns, future earnings forecasts, and strengthening our corporate foundation. We are committed to paying dividends twice annually—interim and year-end dividends. We will use retained earnings for strategic investments to improve cost competitiveness, strengthen our technology and manufacturing development capabilities, and advance our global business strategy.
