Reference Documents for the Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders

Proposal 1: Appropriation of retained earnings

Positioning the returning of income to shareholders as a top priority, the ZENRIN Group adopts a basic policy of implementing stable, uninterrupted payments of dividends derived from income growth based on the medium- to long- term business plan on a consolidated basis. In line with this policy, the ZENRIN Group has set dividend on equity (DOE)(*) on a consolidated basis of 3% or higher as the target

In accordance with this policy, the Company proposes to pay a year-end dividend for the 63rd fiscal year of ¥13.50. With this, the annual dividend per share including the interim dividend would be ¥27 per share, an increase by ¥1 per share from the previous fiscal year.

*Dividend on equity on a consolidated basis (DOE) = Total amount of dividends / Shareholders' equity

Shareholders' equity is the amount arrived at when the amount of treasury shares is subtracted from the sum of common stock, capital surplus and retained earnings.

1. Type of distributed assets Dividends will be paid in cash.

2. Allocation and total amount of the dividends

We propose that the amount of dividend per common share to be ¥13.5.

The total amount of dividends in this case would be ¥724,662,018.

3. Date when the appropriation of retained earnings becomes effective We propose to make this date June 19, 2023.
