Reference Documents for General Meeting of Shareholders

Proposals and References

Proposal No. 1: Appropriation of Surplus

Regarding the appropriation of surplus, the Company proposes as follows. Matters related to the year-end dividend:

The Company considers the return of its profits to shareholders an important managerial issue. The Company, in light of its financial condition and business performance from a long-term point of view, makes it its basic policy to carefully secure sufficient internal reserves for the enhancement of the corporate competitiveness and enlargement of its profit. On the other hand, the Company also makes it its basic policy to continue its payments of dividends with a consolidated DOE (dividend on equity ratio) of 4.0% as the target level of dividend payout, and flexibly acquire its own stock, to realize stable and continued return of profit.

Under this policy, with regard to the year-end dividend for the fiscal year, the Company proposes to pay ¥82 per share. This payment takes into account various factors, including the Company's business performance, and also reflects the Company's desire to reciprocate the consistent support of its shareholders.

Accordingly, including the interim dividend of ¥78 per share paid in September 2022, the annual dividend for the fiscal year is ¥160 per share.

  1. Type of dividend property Cash
  2. Matters related to distribution of dividend property to shareholders and the total amount ¥82 per common share of the Company Total amount: ¥3,315,517,644
  3. Effective date of the distribution of surplus March 31, 2023
