II. Reasons for Determination of Dividend Amount
As we stated in our Securities Report (Yukashoken Hokokusho) and Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015, Sony believes that continuously increasing corporate value and providing dividends are essential to rewarding stockholders.  The Corporation’s dividend policy is to determine the amount of dividends based on an overall consideration of our consolidated operating results, financial condition and future business expectations.  In light of the consolidated financial results for the six months ended September 30, 2015 and this fiscal year’s forecast for consolidated financial results announced today, Sony has determined to pay 10 yen per share as an interim dividend for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2016, based on the policy outlined above.
