Notice Concerning Distribution of Interim Dividends from Surplus

At a meeting held on November 5, 2009, the Board of Directors of Toyota Motor

Corporation ("TMC") resolved to distribute dividends from surplus, with record date dated 

September 30, 2009. In relation to the above, we hereby inform you of the following:

1. Details of dividends

2.  Reason for the dividend amount

TMC deems the benefit of its shareholders as one of its priority management policies

and will strive to continuously pay dividends, while giving due consideration to factors

such as business results for each term, investment plans and the status of liquid

funds.

The business environment in the first half of this fiscal year was severe in general,

due to weak world economy and yen appreciation since the last fall. It is difficult to

maintain the level of interim dividends paid in FY2009. Therefore, TMC has decided

to pay an interim dividend of 20 yen per share.

TMC pays dividends twice a year, an interim dividend and a year-end dividend.
