Dividend Policy

Our group recognizes that returning profits to shareholders is one of our key management priorities. Our basic policy is to provide stable and continuous dividends while ensuring sufficient internal reserves for future business development, capital investments, and preparation for large-scale disasters.
The company’s basic policy is to distribute dividends from surplus twice a year, as interim and year-end dividends. Although our Articles of Incorporation stipulate that we may pay dividends from surplus by resolution of the Board of Directors in accordance with Article 459, Paragraph 1 of the Companies Act, our basic policy is to determine the year-end dividend at the General Shareholders’ Meeting.
