Mizuho Financial : Dividend Information is updated (JPY3.75 per share as term–end dividend)

Mizuho continues to carry out its disciplined capital management policy which maintains the optimal balance between strengthening our stable capital base and providing steady returns to shareholders.
Based on this policy, starting from FY2014, as a new shareholder return policy, we aim for a steady dividend payout by setting a dividend payout ratio on a consolidated basis of approximately 30% as a guide, in order to realize steady returns to shareholders.
We will consider comprehensively the business environment such as the Group's business results, profit base, capital, and domestic and international regulation trends such as the Basel framework and determine cash dividend payments for each term accordingly.
