Specifically, it will establish a new provision regarding the holding of subsidiary shares and clarify provisions related to controlling and managing business activities. Additionally, the provisions concerning the distribution of surplus funds will be revised to specify the method of dividend determination and the record date. These changes will take effect following approval at the shareholders' meeting scheduled for June 26, 2026.\n\n### Introduction of the Interim Dividend System and Its Impact on Shareholders\nWith this amendment, Starzen will introduce an interim dividend system. This will allow shareholders to receive dividends twice a year, enhancing profit distribution and shareholder returns. The record date will be set on September 30 each year, in addition to the conventional year-end date. Details such as the specific dividend amount and payment schedule will be decided in due course. Investors can expect improved dividend stability and greater focus on profit sharing.","jir_financial_highlights":"","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#Starzen, #IR_Type, #JapanStocks","jir_key_figures":"Scheduled Amendment Date: June 26, 2026\nInterim Dividend Record Date: September 30 (planned)\nPurpose of Introducing Dividend System: Strengthening profit distribution","jir_meta_title":"\u3010Starzen\u3011Amendment of Articles of Incorporation and Introduction of Interim Dividend System | May 14, 2026","jir_meta_description":"Starzen plans to partially amend its Articles of Incorporation and introduce an interim dividend system.
