Stock Split
The Company executed a stock split on October 1, 2024. Each share of the Company’s common stock was split into two shares with a record date of September 30, for the purpose of creating an environment conducive to investment in the Company’s shares by lowering the amount required per investment unit, thereby improving the liquidity of Company’s shares and expanding the range of potential investors.
In connection with this stock split, the year-end dividend for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025, has been revised to 55 yen per share. However, as this revision is due to the stock split, there is no effective change in the dividend per share from the previously announced forecast.
