Dividend Information

Basic policy for distribution of profits and dividends in the current and coming year

The Company positions returning profits to shareholders as one of its important management issues, and its basic policy is to maintain stable dividend payments from a long-term perspective, while comprehensively considering various factors (e.g. business performance, dividend payout ratios, and internal reserves used to make investments for sustainable growth).

However, as a result of carefully considering various circumstances (e.g. research and development investments to prepare for sudden changes in the management environment, efforts towards future reforms to the earnings structure, and non-consolidated financial conditions necessary to pay dividends), the Company has regrettably decided to revise its year-end dividend forecast for the current fiscal year from "undecided" to "no dividend payment."

The Company will strive to resume dividend payments as soon as possible.
