The return of profits to our shareholders is one of our highest management priorities. The Tsubaki Group’s basic profit allocation policy calls for consolidated results to be reflected in dividend payments in terms of emphasizing our shareholders. Funding status and financial standing will also be comprehensively considered as we aim to raise Tsubaki’s consolidated dividend payout ratio to 30%.
Meanwhile, we use retained cash to strengthen our financial position and for future business development.

Year-end dividends will be paid following approval of the proposed appropriation of retained earnings at the annual General Meeting of Shareholders in June. Interim dividends, when applicable, will be paid in early December if an interim dividend payment is approved by the Board of Directors.
Shareholders without a designated bank account for dividends will receive a dividend receipt by mail. This receipt can then be exchanged at the nearest Japan Post Bank or other financial institution.
If a designated bank account has been specified, the dividend will be transferred to the specified account on the dividend payment start date.

Payments will be available with a dividend payment receipt at a Japan Post Bank or other financial institution for up to one month from the payment start date. Please visit your nearest Japan Post Bank or other financial institution within this period to receive your payment.
After this period, the remittance method must be specified on the back of the dividend receipt, which must be sent to the shareholder registry administrator listed on the back of the receipt. Payment will then be made by the specified method. Payments will also be available at the head office or nearest branch office of the shareholder registry administrator.

Note that dividend payments cannot be claimed after three years from the payment start date in accordance with the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation.

Dividends can still be received without a dividend receipt. Contact the shareholder registry administrator below to report the loss.
If the payment period at the Japan Post Bank or other financial institution has passed, we will send a Dividend Remittance Request Form after completing the confirmation process. Please specify the remittance method on this document and return it to the shareholder registry administrator. Payment will be made according to the specified method.
