The Company's Policy on the System for Providing Informational Materials for the General Meeting of Shareholders in Electronic Format

1. Overview of the system for providing informational materials for the general meeting of shareholders in electronic format

In accordance with the Act Partially Amending the Companies Act (Act No. 70 of 2019), which has been effective from September 1, 2022, a system for providing *informational materials for the general meeting of shareholdersin electronic format (the "System") has been implemented. The System enables the companies to provide informational materials for the general meeting of shareholders by posting these materials on the company website and other websites, and sending the notice of convocation (the "Notice Document") that includes instructions on how to access the websites to all shareholders. Since the System is applicable to all listed companies, this system will be applied to the Company from the 90th Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders scheduled to be held on June 29, 2023.

Under the System, only a simple written notice (a notice the informational materials for the general meeting of shareholders have been posted on a website with its address, etc.) is sufficient as a Notice Document delivered to all shareholders. Shareholders who wish to continue to receive paper-based informational materials for the general meeting of shareholders must petition the Company's shareholder registry administrator (Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank, Limited) or the securities company with which the shareholders have transactions by the record date of the general meeting of shareholders and complete the procedure to request the delivery of paper-based documents.

  • "Informational materials for the general meeting of shareholders" refers to the Reference Documents for General Meeting of Shareholders, Business Report, Audit Report, Financial Statements, and Consolidated Financial Statements. (Please note that the Audit Report, Financial Statements, and Consolidated Financial Statements are available in Japanese only.)

2. The Company's response policy

Taking into consideration that this is the first general meeting of shareholders after the application of the System, as a transitional measure, the Company will, in the same manner as before, send the informational materials for the Meeting (the 90th Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders) to all shareholders who have voting rights as of the record date, regardless of whether or not shareholders have made a request for delivery of paper-based documents.

REFERENCE DOCUMENTS FOR GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

Agenda and References

Agenda 1. Appropriation of Retained Earnings

In the fiscal year under review, same as the previous fiscal year, revenue from operations, operating income, ordinary profit and profit all exceeded the previous year, and we achieved record-high profit for the 10th consecutive year. Based on the policy explained on the next page, we would like to propose a year-end dividend of 28 yen per share, a total annual dividend of 52 yen per share including the interim dividend (an increase of 7 yen per share year on year and dividend increases for the ninth consecutive year).

For the next fiscal year ending March 31, 2024, we expect to renew record profit for the 11th consecutive year, and we intend to raise the annual dividend by 7 yen from the fiscal year under review to 59 yen (including an interim dividend of 29 yen).

Basic Policy on Dividends

Double the dividend within 7 years to ¥100 per share, and continue sustainable dividend increase in line with profit growth

The Company's basic policy of profit distribution is to ensure prioritization of investment in leasing office assets in order to enhance the long-term earnings base and to strive for "sustainable dividend increase" in line with profit growth.

Based on this idea, we initially set forth the continuation of the "annual dividend increase of ¥5 per share" in the Ninth Management Plan. However, in November last year, we increased the pace of "sustainable dividend increase in line with profit growth" from ¥5 to ¥7 per share per year, based on the recognition that, in addition to steady progress in business performance, the future outlook for business performance has been brighter with the normalization in the economic activities, considering the coexistence with COVID-19.

In the next fiscal year (ending March 31, 2024), we plan to "increase the dividend for the 10th consecutive year" to ¥59 per share, and thereafter we will continue the "annual dividend increase of ¥7 per share" and raise it to "¥100 per share per year" within seven years, doubling the current ¥52.
