Reason

The Company works to provide a stable return and actively return profits to shareholders, mainly in the form of a dividend, taking into consideration medium-term profit forecasts along with planned future investments, cash flow and other factors.

The Company plans to distribute an interim dividend of ¥75 per share for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015, (interim dividend for the previous period: ¥65 per share), to provide a stable return to shareholders. The year-end dividend, however, has yet to be decided.
