In line with this, it indicated plans to abolish the shareholder benefit program as well. While securing internal reserves to ensure dividend stability and financial soundness was important, the revision was made on the condition that the tender offer succeeds.\n\n### Shareholder returns and outlook\nThe dividend cessation was decided under the condition that distributable profits are available if the TOB is completed. The shareholder benefit program will end for shareholders as of March 31, 2026 as the record date. Shareholder benefit coupons already received remain valid, and any care products and benefits already ordered will be delivered as planned. Future shareholder return policy may be reassessed depending on the success of the public tender offer and subsequent procedures.","jir_financial_highlights":"Annual dividends: 0 \u5186 00 \u92ad (Previous forecast: 0\u5186 00\u92ad\uff08previously published: 0\u5186 15\u92ad 00\u92ad\uff09\u2192 this period revised forecast: 0\u5186 0\u92ad)\nEnd-period dividend: 0 \u5186 00 \u92ad (Revised to zero)\nShareholder benefit program: Abolished (Abolition decided with condition that the tender offer succeeds)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#SeedCorporation, #ShareholderReturns, #ShareholderBenefitsAbolished","jir_key_figures":"Annual dividends: 0 \u5186 00 \u92ad\nEnd-period dividend: 0 \u5186 00 \u92ad\nShareholder benefit program: Abolished (condition: TOB succeeds)","jir_meta_title":"\u3010Seed Corporation\u3011Dividend and shareholder benefits review | Fiscal year ending March 2027","jir_meta_description":"Seed Corporation has decided not to pay an end-period dividend for the fiscal year ending March 2027 and to abolish its shareholder benefit program.
