The record date for the interim dividend is set as June 30 each year, and the dividend forecast for the fiscal year ending December 2026 is 20.00 yen for the interim dividend and 20.00 yen for the year-end dividend, totaling 40.00 yen (each amount converts to 100.00 yen before the stock split for a total of 200.00 yen).\n\n### Impact on Shareholders and Future Outlook\nA 5-for-1 stock split of common shares was executed on January 1, 2026, and dividend amounts are stated on a pre-stock split basis.
