Company Proposals
	Proposal No. 1: Appropriation of Surplus
	The matter was approved as originally proposed. The dividend at the end of the fiscal year was determined to be ¥135 per share of Common Stock (¥270 per share of Common Stock for the annualized dividend).
	Proposal No. 2: Partial Amendments to the Articles of Incorporation
	The matter was approved as originally proposed. At the Board of Directors meeting held on May 15, 2024, it was resolved that each share of common stock will be split into 3 shares per share with September 30, 2024 as the record date for the stock split, and October 1, 2024, as the date on which the stock split takes effect. Since the total number of authorized shares and the total number of authorized shares of common stock need to be increased in line with the ratio of the split of common stock, the amendments to the Articles of Incorporation shall become effective on October 1, 2024.
