2 Reasons for revision
Due to the unpredictable effects of the new corona virus (COVID-19) and the impact on electricity sales volume, the dividend forecast for FY2020 had not been determined.
This time, we have decided on the interim dividend forecast, based on a comprehensive analysis of the recent supply and demand situation, the medium to long-term balance situation, financial factors and other considerations. We have decided to revise it to 17.5 yen per common share and 1,050,000 yen per Class A preferred share.
Forecast of the year-end dividends for FY2020 will continue to be undecided, because at the moment it is difficult to make a reasonable calculation of financial forecasts.
