Q.

How is the trend of dividends payment?

A.

Year-end dividend per share for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 was increased by JPY 35.00 to JPY 40.00, from JPY 5.00 in the previous fiscal year. This increase in the dividend for the fiscal year included early implementation of the dividend increase previously planned for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015. SoftBank has distributed its surplus as a year-end dividend annually, and since sufficient profit is expected for the year ending March 31, 2013 as well, implementation of an interim dividend to increase opportunities to return profit to shareholders was decided on July 31, 2012. This applies to shareholders on record as of the base date of September 30, 2012. In addition, SoftBank has decided the forecasts of interim and year-end dividend for year ending March 31, 2013 as stated below.
