Dividend Policy and Dividend Distribution

The basic principle of ADEKA Group is to fairly determine profit dividends to stockholders and internal reserve by taking various business management factors into consideration, comprehensively, such as management environment, business strategy, business performance and financial status. We continue to attempt further improvement of growth potential and profitability, and to improve dividend ratios from year to year, targeting 30%. The internal reserve is used preferentially for capital investment to improve business performance and future management practices, such as R&D and facility investment in growing next-generation and core business, strengthening overseas operation and production technology.

Change in Number of Shares per Unit

We examined reduction in the unit of stock investment, based on ?Action Program toward Promoting Reduction in Unit of Stock Investment? issued by the Tokyo Stock Exchange with comprehensive consideration of the trend in stock exchange, changes in our stock quote, supply-demand situation and shareholder composition.

Our stock quote increased in the last half of 2005 and exceeded challenging targets for the unit of stock investment ?less than ¥500,000? set by the Tokyo Stock Exchange, therefore, we reduced the number of shares from 1000 shares to 100 shares per one unit as of 1 May 2006, to improve liquidity of shares in the market and increase participation of individual investors.
