REFERENCE DOCUMENTS FOR GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
Agenda and References
Agenda 1. Appropriation of Retained Earnings
The Company's basic policy of profit distribution is to ensure prioritization of investment in lease buildings in order to enhance the long-term revenue base and a "sustainable increase on dividend payments" in line with profit growth. In the fiscal year under review, revenue from operations, operating income, ordinary profit and profit all exceeded the previous year. Ordinary profit recovered to a record high after decreasing during the COVID-19 pandemic for only one fiscal year, and profit renewed a record high for the ninth consecutive year.
Taking this result into consideration, we would like to propose to continue the "annual dividend increase of 5 yen" and to increase the year-end dividend to 23 yen per share (2 yen increase from the previous fiscal year).
If this agenda is approved as originally proposed, the annual dividend per share will be 45 yen (5 yen increase from the previous fiscal year), including the interim dividend of 22 yen per share.
For the next fiscal year ending March 31, 2023, we expect to renew record profit for the 10th consecutive year, and we intend to raise the annual dividend by 5 yen from the fiscal year under review to 50 yen (including an interim dividend of 24 yen).

Reasons for the amendment
Since the revised provisions provided for in the proviso to Article 1 of the Supplementary Provisions of the Act Partially Amending the Companies Act (Act No.70 of 2019) are to be enforced on September 1, 2022, the Company proposes to make the following changes to the articles of incorporation in preparation for the introduction of the system for providing informational materials for the general meeting of shareholders in electronic format. - Article 16, paragraph 1 in "Proposed Amendment" below will stipulate that the Company shall take measures for providing information that constitutes the content of Reference Documents for General Meeting of Shareholders, etc. in electronic format.
- Article 16, paragraph 2 in "Proposed Amendment" below will establish the provision to limit the scope of the items to be stated in the paper-based documents to be delivered to shareholders who requested the delivery of paper-based documents.
- Since the provisions for Internet Disclosure of Reference Documents for General Meeting of Shareholders, Etc. (Article 16 of the current articles of incorporation) will no longer be required, they will be deleted.
- Accompanying the aforementioned establishment and deletion of provisions, supplementary provisions regarding the effective date, etc. will be established.
