Notice Concerning Revision of Dividend Forecast

Based on recent trends in its operating results, Inabata & Co., Ltd. (the "Company") hereby announces that it has revised the dividend forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021, which was released on August 6, 2020. Details are as follows.

1. Reason for the revision

With a view to placing an even greater emphasis on returning profits to shareholders and carrying out shareholder returns with more clarity, the Company has adopted a standard for the total amount of shareholder returns consisting of the amount of dividends combined with the amount of treasury shares acquired. The Company will target a total return ratio that is mainly in the range of approximately 30% to 35%, and determine it based on comprehensive judgments that take into account such considerations as medium- and long-term investment for future enhancement of corporate value.

Based on recent trends in its operating results, the Company has revised the forecast for the year-end dividend per share upward from ¥33 to ¥43.

As a result, the annual dividend per share is projected to be ¥63 including the interim dividend of ¥20.
