(Reference)
Year ending March 31, 2012       16.50      8.50      25.00

3. Reason

We will continue adhering to our policy of issuing stable dividend payments,
upon returning profits to shareholders while considering the dividend payout
ratio.

Based on the consolidated results for the six months ended September 30,
2012, we have decided JPY12.50 as an interim dividend for the fiscal year ending
as initially forecasted.

The company is currently performing group-wide activities to streamline costs,
and through these activities, the cost reduction is expected to be greater than
the initial target set forth by the company. For this reason, along with the
assumption that we will meet our business target at the end of the fiscal year,
we have increased the expected year end dividends per share by JPY4.00 compared
with the previous forecast to JPY16.50 per share.
