The Company sets its basic policy of first taking into consideration maintaining sufficient internal reserves to ensure the soundness of the group companies' management, and then works to increase shareholder value and conducts stable profit distribution.
In accordance with this policy, considering the financial soundness, to enhance shareholder return further, the Company has revised the year-end dividends forecast for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 by ¥ 2 per share from the previous forecast.
As a result, the annual dividends are expected to increase by ¥ 4.5 to ¥ 42 per share from the previously announced forecast of increasing by ¥ 2.5 to ¥ 40 per share.
This issue is scheduled to be submitted to the 15th Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders which will be held in June, 2019.
