What is Nikon’s policy regarding shareholder returns?
Nikon’s basic policy regarding the distribution of earnings is to expand investment in business and technology development to ensure future growth, take steps to enhance competitiveness, and pay a steady dividend that reflects the perspective of shareholders, while making continual adjustments to better reflect operating performance. In accordance with this policy, we have set a target for a total return ratio of 25% or more including the acquisition of treasury stock.
