The fruit of our management activities is to be fairly divided among shareholder, customer and employee according to increase in corporate value to meet shareholders', customers' and employees' trust and expectations. Our basic dividend policy is to make dividend stably to meet shareholders' expectations according to the increase in corporate value while taking into consideration every term business performance, future investments and other factors. In FY 2009, as it is a memorial year to celebrate 70th anniversary, we are pleased to add ¥2 as 70th anniversary memorial dividend on already announced ¥3 dividend. As a result, we pay dividend ¥8 for FY 2009. (We have already paid ¥3 as interim dividend.) In FY 2010, it is expected that the sales and profit for the whole financial year will increase at present, we expect ¥10 dividend a year per stock about the allotment (¥5 as interim dividend). The reserved fund will be used for the future fund such as Research and Development, Capital Expenditure for overseas subsidiaries and Rationalization Investment. We also established a shareholder benefits program in addition to paying dividends.

To thank our shareholders, we have set up the following benefits program.
