２．Reason for the dividend amountOur basic policy of distributing profits to shareholders, announced on April 27, 2015, is asfollows.
1. Dividends
In order to further enhance the distribution of profits to our shareholders in the long term,
we have decided to implement a dividend payout ratio of 60% of our consolidated net
income.
2. Share buybacks
We aim to buy back our own shares in a flexible manner depending on the level of ourstock prices, taking into account the balance with our investment in growth, and where
the Five-Year Average Total Return Ratio does not exceed 80%.
(Note) Five-Year Average Total Return Ratio means the ratio of the total combined
amount of dividends and the total amount of share buybacks, over the total
amount of our consolidated net income for a five-year period.
3. Retirement of treasury shares
We aim to limit the number of our treasury shares that we hold to a maximum of 5% of
the total number of issued shares. We will, as a general rule, retire any portion exceedingthat limit every fiscal year.
Since its announcement on April 27, 2015, we have carried out the distribution of profits
to shareholders based on the above policy. For interim dividends for this fiscal year, wewill pay the amount equivalent to a half of the additionally required distribution amount (*)
to realize a Five-Year Average Total Return Ratio of the maximum of 80% for the periodof the last five years including this fiscal year as special dividends in place of a sharebuyback, in addition to the ordinary dividends of 60% of our consolidated first half netincome.
* (The total amount of net income for each fiscal year from the fiscal year
ended March 31, 2015 to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 + the forecast
net income for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2019) × 20% - the amount ofshare buybacks that were already carried out in each relevant fiscal year.

As the result, the interim dividend will be as follows.
