Shareholder Return

Basic dividend policy

Our basic dividend policy is to ensure the stability of dividends while giving due consideration to performance and the balance between dividends and retained earnings, and to return profits to shareholders. Additionally, we plan to use internal reserves for reinforcement of the financial base and future business development.
The Company’s basic policy on the dividends of surplus is to issue dividends twice a year, one issue as an interim dividend and the other as a year-end issue. The Board of Directors determines the amount of the interim dividend, and the shareholders determine the year-end dividend at the annual general shareholders’ meeting.
