Notice Regarding Receipt of Special Dividend from Consolidated Subsidiaries

Seven & i Holdings Co., Ltd. ("the Company") announced today that it received a special dividend from its consolidated subsidiaries. Details are as follows.

  1. Reason

    As part of business structural reforms intended to improve profitability, Sogo & Seibu Co., Ltd.'s shares were deemed to have decreased in value at the close of the six months ended August 31, 2016, and the Company therefore recognized a loss on valuation of stocks of subsidiaries and affiliates of ¥86,332 million in its non-consolidated financial statements, with a resulting decrease in retained earnings.

    In light of this situation, to secure sufficient retained earnings for the payment of dividends for the fiscal year ending February 28, 2018, and to make effective use of funds, the Company received special dividends from Seven-Eleven Japan Co., Ltd., Ito-Yokado Co., Ltd., York-Benimaru Co., Ltd., York Mart Co., Ltd., Sogo

    & Seibu Co., Ltd., and Seven & i Food Systems Co., Ltd.
