Reference Documents for the General Meeting of Shareholders
Proposals and Reference Information
Proposal No. 1 Appropriation of Surplus
The Company considers the return of profit to its shareholders as one of the priority issues of management and it follows a basic policy to maintain a medium-term total return ratio, which includes both dividends and purchases of treasury shares, at the 50% level. In addition to paying stable dividends twice a year (interim dividend and year-end dividend), the Company pays special dividends and implements purchases of treasury shares in a flexible manner, taking into consideration stock market trends.
Based on this policy, the Company proposes to pay an ordinary dividend for the current fiscal year of ¥60 per share. Furthermore, the Company proposes to pay an additional ¥10 per share as a special dividend to reciprocate the support received from our shareholders for a total year-end dividend of ¥70 per share. As a result, when combined with the interim dividend already paid of ¥60 per share, it adds up to an annual dividend of ¥130 per share.
Year-end dividends
- Type of dividend property Cash
- Allotment of dividend property and their aggregate amount ¥70 per common share of the Company
Total dividends | ¥3,918,445,230 |
