II. Reasons for Determination of Dividend Amount
As Sony stated in its Securities Report (Yukashoken Hokokusho) and Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, Sony believes that continuously increasing corporate value and providing dividends are essential to rewarding stockholders.  It is Sony’s policy to utilize retained earnings, after ensuring the perpetuation of stable dividends, to carry out various investments that contribute to an increase in corporate value, such as those that ensure future growth and strengthen competitiveness.  In light of the consolidated financial results forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2017 and other information set forth in the earnings release announced today, Sony has determined to pay 10 yen per share as an interim dividend for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2017, based on the policy outlined above.
