In its Medium-term Plan which began in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2024, the Company stated its shareholder return policy to distribute a total of 10 billion yen or more in dividends during the five-year period, with stable cash flow generated from its base business. In addition, a portion of the income from the investment business, which is generated from its successful investment activities to date, will be allocated for flexible shareholder returns. The actual shareholder return will be determined in consideration of its financial position, performance trends, future funding needs, etc.
