Reduction in Amounts of Stated Capital and Capital Reserves and Appropriation of Other Capital Surplus
- Purpose
The Company recorded a deficit in its retained earnings brought forward of 6,439,895,876 yen at the end of this business year.
Accordingly, with the aim of reducing the Company's tax burden through a reduction in its stated capital and capital reserves, achieving a healthier financial platform by covering this deficit, and ensuring agile capital policy, including shareholder returns (dividends and acquisition of treasury shares) for the future, the Company wishes to, as follows, carry out a reduction in the amount of its stated capital and its capital reserves in accordance with Article 447, Paragraph 1 and Article 448, Paragraph 1 of the Companies Act, post these to other capital surplus, and then post other capital surplus (as increased by the reduction in the amounts of stated capital and capital reserves) to retained earnings brought forward in accordance with Article 452 of the Companies Act.
As these measures will not result in a change in the total number of issued shares and will only involve a reduction in the amounts of stated capital and capital reserves, there will be no impact on the number of shares held by each shareholder. Furthermore, there will be no change in the amount of the Company's net assets, and therefore, there will be no change in the amount of net assets per share.
