2. Reason for the dividend amount
TMC deems the benefit of its shareholders as one of its priority management policies, and it continues to work to improve its corporate structure to realize sustainable growth in order to enhance its corporate value.
TMC will strive for the stable and continuous payment of dividends considering a consolidated payout ratio of 30% to shareholders of common stock as an indication. In addition, TMC will pay a prescribed amount of dividends to shareholders of First Series Model AA Class Shares.
In order to survive tough competition, TMC will utilize its internal funds mainly for the early commercialization of technologies for next-generation environment and safety, giving priority to customer safety and security.
Considering these factors, with respect to the dividends for this consolidated fiscal year, TMC has determined to pay a year-end dividend of 120 yen per common share and as a result, the annual dividend will be 220 yen per common share when combined with the interim dividend of 100 yen per common share.
In addition, TMC has determined to pay a year-end dividend of 132.00 yen per First Series Model AA Class Share in accordance with a prescribed calculation method and as a result, the annual dividend will be 264 yen per share when combined with the interim dividend of 132.00 yen per share.
