**<u>3. Reason</u>**

Due to revising earnings forcast on a consolidated basis for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026 upward in the Consolidated Financial Results for the six months ended September 30, 2025 announced today, the interim dividends for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026 were revised to ¥78 per share, an increase of ¥10 from the previously forecasted ¥68 per share.

Additionally, the year-end dividend forecast was revised to ¥79 per share, an increase of ¥11 from the previously forecasted ¥68 per share. As a result, the annual dividends forecast was revised to ¥157 per share, ¥21 increase from the previous forecast and ¥35 (\*4) increase from the dividend paid for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025.
