Reference Documents

for the Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders

Company Proposal (Proposals 1 to 3 are proposed by the Company.)

Proposal 1: Appropriation of Surplus

The Company regards the sharing of profits with shareholders as an important policy. The Company's basic dividend policy is to maintain stable distribution of ordinary dividends aimed at sustainable growth while also maintaining the balance with securing the retained earnings needed to strengthen the corporate foundations essential to a certified broadcasting holding company that wholly owns terrestrial, BS, and CS broadcast operators over the long term. In addition to ordinary dividend distributions, the Company also regards it as a basic policy to reward shareholders through the distribution of commemorative dividends to mark key events, and special dividends determined with consideration of financial results and other factors in each fiscal period.

In accordance with this basic policy, we propose that the year-end dividend be as follows:

  1. Matters regarding the year-end dividend
    1. Type of property for dividend: Cash
    2. Matters regarding the appropriation of property for dividend to shareholders and its total amount
      40 yen per share of the common stock of the Company
      (Ordinary dividend of 30 yen and commemorative dividend of 10 yen) Total amount: 4,230,265,160 yen
    3. Effective date of distribution of surplus June 28, 2024
  2. Other matters regarding the appropriation of surplus Not applicable.
