Reason

The Company works to provide a stable return and actively return profits to shareholders, mainly in the form of a dividend, taking into consideration medium-term profit forecasts along with planned future investments, cash flow and other factors.

As for the year-end dividend for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018 (the 118th Business Term), from a perspective of stable shareholder’s return, the Company decided to distribute a year-end dividend of 80 yen per share, which is the same amount per share as the last interim-dividend. As a result, the Company’s full-year dividend for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018, is set at 160 yen per share, which is the same amount as last year’s full-year dividend per share (includes commemorative dividend).

This matter will be discussed at the Ordinary General Meeting for the 118th Business Term of the Company to be held on March 28, 2019.
