2. Reasons for the Determination

Our basic policy on dividends is to pay a stable dividend to shareholders while retaining sufficient earnings to strengthen our operations and make investments in growing fields. In addition, our goal is to increase the dividend while taking into consideration our earnings, market conditions, the dividend payout ratio and other items.

Having into consideration that we had achieved strong results despite tough business environment, we decided to pay 10.00 yen per share as year-end dividend, an increase of 2.00 yen from the previous forecast of 8.00 yen. With 8.00 yen as interim dividend, the annual dividend for FY2015 will be 18.00 yen per share.

This resolution is subject to approval at the 69th ordinary general meeting of shareholders scheduled for

June 29, 2016.

(Reference) Outlook of the annual dividend is as follows:

Dividend per share
Record date	Interim	Year-end	Total
Dividend outlook	¥10.00	¥18.00
Paid for FY2012	¥8.00
Paid for FY2014 (ended March 31, 2015)	¥7.50	¥7.50	¥15.00
