Basic Policy on Profit Sharing
We recognize that returning our profits to our shareholders is an important policy of management. Committed to a progressive dividend policy, we will pay a dividend that is stable and commensurate with business performance while improving our earning capacity and enhancing our financial structure. As a general rule, we will increase the dividend amount up to 20 yen per share every year, with the aim of gradually raising the dividend payout ratio to 40%. We have also decided to pay dividends of surplus twice a year in the interim dividend and year-end dividend, and as for the decision-making body of the dividend of surplus, the shareholders meeting is the body for the year-end dividend and the board of directors is the body for the interim dividend.

|---|---|---|---|
| Interim Dividend | March 31 | Board of directors | Early in June (estimated) |
| Year-end Dividend | September 30 | Shareholder meeting | Late in December (estimated) |
