(Note) The Company has implemented the stock split with an effective date of October 1, 2024 and a record date of September 30, 2024. Each share of common stock has been split into five shares. The above year-end dividend per share for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 is based on a number of shares taking into account the stock split. The total annual dividend per share for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 is not presented because the total of the interim dividend and the year-end dividend cannot be calculated due to effect of the stock split. With taking the stock split into account, the interim dividend per share for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 would be 28 yen and the total annual dividend per share for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 would be 56 yen.
