Shareholder Return Policy
The Company’s shareholder return policy is based on a total amount of shareholder returns consisting of the amount of dividends combined with the amount of treasury shares acquired. The Company will target a total return ratio (*) that is mainly in the range of approximately 30% to 35%, and determine it based on comprehensive judgments that take into account such considerations as medium- and long-term investment for future enhancement of corporate value.
(*) Total return ratio = (amount of dividends + amount of treasury shares acquired) ÷ consolidated net income x 100
