We have based our policy regarding the appropriation of profits on expanding shareholders' interest in medium to long-term perspective while maintaining the consecutive dividends.

Regarding the year-end dividend for FY2022, based on the financial results for FY 2022, a comprehensive analysis of medium to long-term balance situation and financial and other factors, we deeply regret to suspend the year-end dividends for both common shares and Class A preferred shares.

We have paid out ¥20 per a common share and ¥1,050,000 per a class A preferred share for the year-end dividend of FY2021 (April 1, 2021 to March 31, 2022), considering performance of FY2021 and financial condition.
