3. Reason

Distribution of earnings to shareholders is a key management issue. The dividend policy of Kanamoto is to provide shareholders with a consistent and stable dividend regardless of the business environment. Furthermore, the Company aims to pay progressive dividends that include profit distribution in line with earnings performance. Moreover, it is the basic policy of Kanamoto to sufficiently build up its retained earnings, which is essential for strengthening financial position and to implement aggressive business expansion.

With raising the projected consolidated operating results for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2025, at the time of the closing of accounts for the six-month period ended April 30, 2025, we have increased the dividends from surplus (interim dividends) from the previously projected ¥40.00 per share by ¥5.00 to ¥45.00.

Similarly, the year-end dividend projection has been increased from the previously projected ¥40.00 per share by

¥5.00 to ¥45.00. As a result, the annual dividend is expected to be ¥90.00 per share, representing an increase of ¥10.00 from the previous forecast.
