Notice of Revision to Dividend Forecast (Dividend Increase) and Abolishment of
Shareholder Special Benefit Program
We are pleased to announce that our Board of Directors has resolved at a meeting held on February 10, 2023, to revise the dividend forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2023 (dividend increase) and to abolish the shareholder special benefit program for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2023.
1. Reason
The Company has implemented a shareholder special benefit program w ith the aim of making the investment in the Company's shares more attractive in all aspects and encouraging shareholders to hold the Company's shares over the medium to long term. After careful consideration of the principle of shareholder equality, market liquidity, and other factors, we have decided to place the highest priority on achieving a fair return of profits to all of our shareholders and concentrate it on the direct return of profits through dividends.
The Company continues to consider the long-term expansion of profits for shareholders an important management goal and has decided to pay a year-end dividend of 30.00 yen per share for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2023. As a result, the annual dividend per share will be 35.00 yen, an increase of 5.00 yen from the previous forecast of 30.00 yen.
The agenda of year-end dividends will be submitted to the 47th Annual Shareholders' Meeting scheduled to be held in June 2023.
