The financial impact is expected to include recognition of a gain on sale of the equity-accounted investment of 17,054 million yen, and consolidated net income attributable to owners of parent is expected to increase by 22,255 million yen.\n\n### Capital and Use of Funds and Future Outlook\nProceeds obtained will be allocated to medium- to long-term growth investments. While maintaining a shareholder return policy based on a DOE of 5%, the company will consider additional shareholder returns (dividend increases, share buybacks, expansion of shareholder benefits, etc.). Any decisions will be promptly disclosed.
