Basic Policy on Profit Sharing

We recognize that returning our profits to our shareholders is an important policy of management. Committed to a progressive dividend policy, we will pay a dividend that is stable and commensurate with business performance while improving our earning capacity and enhancing our financial structure. As a general rule, we will increase the dividend amount up to 20 yen per share every year, with the aim of gradually raising the dividend payout ratio to 40%. We have also decided to pay dividends of surplus twice a year in the interim dividend and year-end dividend, and as for the decision-making body of the dividend of surplus, the shareholders meeting is the body for the year-end dividend and the board of directors is the body for the interim dividend.

Record Date Decision-Making Body Start of Payment Date
Interim Dividend March 31 Board of directors Early in June (estimated)
Year-end Dividend September 30 Shareholder meeting Late in December (estimated)
