■Dividend (per share) The Daidoh Limited group counts among its responsibilities of the highest importance the returning of profit earnings to shareholders. (1) Our basic policy for dividend payment to our shareholders is the distribution of profit earnings at levels commensurate to the results of business performance which also emphasize the stability of business operations. (2) From the mid-range perspective, our basic policy for dividend payment is that 30% of consolidated ordinary income should be provided on a performance-related basis, and also that for the increased earnings portion of extraordinary gains or losses that generate cash flows (by sale of securities, etc., and sale of fixed assets, etc.) from the current period, 30% of such values should be added as a standard dividend source for years to come. Dividends which are proposed should be taken into consideration with a general view towards enhancement of the business environment and earnings retention, etc. We also purchase treasury stock in a flexible manner as part of our strategy to maximize the income returned to shareholders. This part of the overall strategy is implemented based on a consideration of long-term investment efficiency.   Daidoh Limited offers a Shareholder Special Benefit Plan for the benefit of our shareholders in return for their consistent support. The program presents a gift of Daidoh-related merchandise worth 9,300 to 13,000 yen to each shareholder holding at least one unit (100 shares) of our stock of record as of the end of each fiscal year (or each March 31). We try our best to deliver this gift to all shareholders no later than around the middle of June each year. ■Dividends/ Shareholder SpecialBenefit Plan■
