Shareholders' Meeting Reference Document

Proposal 1: Appropriation of Surplus

On the basis of striving to increase return on equity (ROE) and maintain stable dividends through efficient management, the Group's policy is to return profits to our shareholders by increasing the dividend level after comprehensively considering factors such as business results and the dividend payout ratio.

The Company determines our dividends based on results for the full year. Therefore, we do not issue midterm dividends. Our basic policy is to appropriate any surplus through year-end dividends issue once per year.

While aiming to strengthen and preserve its business structure and to maintain an appropriate amount of internal reserves, the Company proposes ordinary dividends for the 43rd fiscal year at 17 yen per share.
