Subject to the successful completion of the tender offer, the forecast for the fiscal year-end dividend for the fiscal year ending September 2026 will be revised from ¥27.50 per share to ¥0, resulting in no dividend. The annual dividend will decrease from ¥55.00 to ¥27.50 per share.
Each vertical step represents one dividend payment, and the total height of the accumulated steps represents the annual dividend for the period. For periods showing only the annual amount, the payment breakdown is not provided, so only the end point is plotted.
The record date is the cutoff date for determining which persons listed in the shareholder register on that date are entitled to receive dividends.
The basic policy is to regard the return of profits to shareholders as one of management's important initiatives and to pay dividends from surplus on a stable and ongoing basis while securing the retained earnings necessary for future business expansion and strengthening the company's financial foundation.

The transaction is premised on the successful completion of the tender offer, followed by the company going private and delisting through subsequent procedures.
