Reason for revision or withdrawal

Growth investment opportunities, including M&A, capital transactions with major customers, and establishing a structure to support the overseas expansion of leading Japanese companies, are difficult to predict in terms of both scale and timing. Retaining a fixed percentage in advance meant holding more cash than actual investment needs required, which presented an issue in terms of capital efficiency.
