2. Reason for the dividend amount
  TMC deems the benefit of its shareholders as one of its priority management policies and strives to continuously pay dividends while taking into account such factors as operating results and investment plans of each fiscal year.
  TMC's operating environment remains uncertain as the Japanese yen continue to appreciate and the price of rare metals rise steeply due to tight supply and demand.  Under these circumstances, TMC is focusing on the development and popularization of next-generation technologies and its responses to motorization in the emerging countries.
  Based on the foregoing, TMC's interim dividend for the year is 20 yen per share.
