Approach to profit allocation
The Company’s approach to profit allocation is to continue stable dividend while securing retained earnings necessary to develop future businesses and strengthen the management practices.
The Company’s basic policy is to distribute surplus twice a year as interim dividend and year-end dividend. We have determined to pay both interim and year-end dividends by a resolution of the Board of Directors pursuant to the article of incorporation unless otherwise provided for in laws and regulations.
