Reference Documents for the Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders

Proposals and Reference Information

First Item: Appropriation of Retained Earnings

The Company proposes that the appropriation of retained earnings be as provided below:

Matters concerning year-end dividends

The Company recognizes that achieving increase in corporate value over the medium- and long-term ultimately translates into higher shareholder value. In line with this understanding, the Company's fundamental policy is to work to consistently increase dividends through growth in earnings per share. By actively investing for growth, mainly in the development of new products and technologies in strategic fields so as to respond precisely to rapid technological innovation in the electronics industry, the Company is aiming to increase a medium- and long-term corporate value. Accordingly, the Company actively reinvests the Company's earnings in business activities and determines its dividends taking into consideration comprehensive factors, including return on equity (ROE) and dividends on equity (DOE) on a consolidated basis, as well as changes in the business environment, among other factors.

The Company intends to pay year-end dividends for the fiscal year under review as follows:

  1. Item concerning the allotment of dividend assets and the total amount thereof: ¥53 per share of common stock of the Company
    Total amount of dividends: ¥20,101,930,524
    • Together with the interim dividend of ¥53 per share paid on December 2, 2022, the annual dividend is ¥106 per share.
  2. Effective date of payment of dividends from retained earnings: June 23, 2023
