Overview of Capital Policy
Chubu Steel Plate Co., Ltd., aiming to enhance corporate value under the 24 Medium-Term Management Plan, has decided to improve capital efficiency through compression of shareholders' equity amid a severe business environment including electric furnace steel leakage accidents and sluggish steel demand. Specifically, the policy is to reduce consolidated shareholders' equity from 74 billion yen (end of December 2025) to approximately 70 billion yen by the end of fiscal 2027. This approach aims to secure funds for safety and growth while actively utilizing excess capital for shareholder returns.

This results in a DOE of 3.7%, thereby strengthening shareholder returns. Going forward, the company plans to steadily implement measures under the Medium-Term Management Plan, aiming for an early achievement of a market capitalization of 100 billion yen and sustainable enhancement of shareholder value.
