Proposal No. 1: Distribution of Surplus

Matters concerning year-end dividends

Based on the recognition that providing superior returns to shareholders is one of the highest management priorities, it is the Company's basic policy to continue to pay stable dividends to shareholders, determining the specific amount of dividend for each fiscal year by taking into consideration the maintenance of internal reserves to be used for capital investment in production facilities in growing businesses, investment for technological development in new businesses, and investment for market development.

With respect to the operating results for the current fiscal year (fiscal year ended March 31, 2022), while the vehicle communication equipment business segment recorded a loss due to significant effects of the spread of the COVID-19 continuing from the previous fiscal year, significantly improved sales and profits in the circuit testing connector business segment, the recording of foreign exchange gains following the weaker yen, etc., contributed to marking record-high consolidated net sales, consolidated ordinary income and profit attributable to owners of parent. As for the Group's medium-term management target "Minimum8"-i.e., secure a sales growth rate, a minimum operating profit margin, and a return on equity of 8%., we secured the level exceeding 8% for the sales growth rate being 11.5% and return on equity being 11.6%.

For the next fiscal year (fiscal year ending March 31, 2023), the Company expects that recovery of economic activity will be pursued while the COVID-19 rebound will be controlled. On the other hand, decoupling among global economies is worsening as the tensions are rising suddenly in Europe and other countries, triggered by Russia's incursion into Ukraine, and the Company assumes that trends in supply and demand and competitive environments in the Company's major market will become even more uncertain. The Company therefore believes that it continues to be indispensable to perform business operations with emphasis on financial stability under these circumstances. Although trends are uncertain in the market as a whole, inquiries have been gathering momentum mainly for growing businesses including 5G (the fifth generation mobile communications), with increased capital needs for investment in not only mass-production facilities but also technological development looking into further ahead.

In view of the aforementioned circumstances, the Company hereby proposes its year-end dividend for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022 as follows, comprehensively taking into account the return of the record-high profits to shareholders, business forecasts and capital needs for the next fiscal year and beyond as well as securing financial stability.

  1. Type of dividend property: Cash
  2. Matters concerning allotment of dividend property to shareholders and total amount

22 yen per share of common stock, for a total of 512,843,540 yen

Because an interim dividend of 18 yen per share was paid out, the annual dividend for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022 will be 40 yen per share (consolidated dividend payout ratio of 19.8%).

  1. Effective date of distribution of surplus June 29, 2022 (Wednesday)
