The Company pays dividends once each fiscal year, based on a decision made at the annual General Meeting of Shareholders. For the fiscal year ended February 28, 2010, the Company has decided to pay a cash dividend of \24 per share, which will be \6 per share less than in the previous fiscal year. The Company will base its decisions regarding the purchase of its own shares on the demand for funds and other considerations.
Retained earnings will be employed in a flexible manner that strikes a balance among strategic investments for the consolidation of a solid business structure, improving the Company’s financial position, and other factors.
