2. Reason for the dividend amount
TMC deems the benefit of its shareholders as one of its priority management policies and will strive to continue to pay dividends while giving due consideration to
factors such as business results for each term, investment plans and its cash
reserves.
In order to survive stiff competition, TMC will focus on the early commercialization of technologies for the next-generation environment and safety, giving priority to customer safety and sense of security.
Considering these factors, TMC plans to propose a year-end dividend of 25 yen per share, and an annual dividend of 45 yen per share, combined with the interim dividend of 20 yen per share.
