Reference Documents for the General Meeting of Shareholders

Proposals and References

Proposal 1: Appropriation of Surplus

We believe that providing an appropriate return of profits to shareholders is one of our most important management tasks. We therefore abide by the basic policy of "continuously paying and raising stable dividends" in our profit appropriation while endeavoring to secure internal reserves required to take effective measures to address future-oriented initiatives: R&D efforts to develop original businesses with growth potential, the vitalization of existing businesses, and the expansion of business fields. Also, we have positioned "stable performance linked dividends" as one of the important measures in our Medium-term Management Plan entitled "Challenge 2024: Grow Up Plan 2024."

In light of the Company's results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 and these initiatives, we hereby propose to pay a year-end ordinary dividend of ¥33 per share for the fiscal year as follows.

  1. Type of dividend property: Cash
  2. Matters concerning allotment of dividend property to shareholders and the total amount thereof Amount for each common stock of the Company: ¥33 per share
    Total amount to be distributed: ¥790,607,499
  3. Effective date for the dividends of surplus: June 28, 2024

Proposal 2: Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation 1. Reasons for the amendment

Since October 2013, the Group has been working to strengthen our competitiveness and promote growth under a pure holding company structure. As originally intended, we have separated management and business operations under a pure holding company structure to achieve overall optimization from the perspective of group management, and by addressing management issues such as structural reform of existing businesses and improvement of financial strength, we are now on track to overcome these challenges. Based on this, we have determined that it is optimal to change the Group's organizational structure in order to accelerate decision- making, streamline administrative divisions, and rebalance personnel as part of our strategy to "rebuild our business infrastructure," with the aim of achieving the "our vision for the Company in 2030," as stated in our Medium-term Management Plan entitled "Challenge 2024," which began in fiscal year 2022, as well as improving our PBR.

For the above reasons, effective October 1, 2024 (scheduled), the Company will merge with its wholly owned subsidiaries, Japan Carlit Co., Ltd. and Silicon Technology Corporation, and transition from a pure holding company to an operating holding company. Prior to this, effective July 1, 2024, the Company will amend Article 1 (Trade Name) and Article 2 (Purpose) of the current Articles of Incorporation and establish new supplementary provisions.

The reasons for each amendment to the Articles of Incorporation are as follows.

(1) Trade name

Prior to the merger, the Company's trade name will be changed to Carlit Co., Ltd. By retaining the name "Carlit," which has been familiar to our customers since our founding, our aim is to renew the Group's image and further enhance our corporate value in order to realize our Medium-term Management Plan entitled "Challenge 2024" as well as the "our vision for the Company in 2030," based on our management philosophy of "For Confidence and Infinite Challenge," which we have cultivated over the years.

(2) Change in business purpose

In accordance with the transition from a pure holding company to an operating holding company, Article 2 (Purpose) of the current Articles of Incorporation is to be changed to match the business after the transition.

(3) New supplementary provisions

Accompanying the aforementioned changes, supplementary provisions regarding the effective date, etc. will be established.
