Basic Policy regarding the Distribution of Profits

We will continue to aim to enhance our business performance in order to implement a stable and continual dividend payment, in overall consideration of a need to secure internal reserves as well, in anticipation of future performance and business development.
With a new indicator of dividend on equity ratio (DOE) aimed at improving the downward rigidity of dividends for the five years from April 1, 2021, we have introduced the return policy of “payout ratio of over 40% and DOE of over 4%” while maintaining performance-linked profit return.
