8. Shareholders' Equity
The Japanese Commercial Code provides that at least one-half
of the proceeds from shares issued at a price in excess of par
value be included in common stock.
The Japanese Commercial Code provides that a portion of
retained earnings in an amount equal to at least 10% of the
aggregate amount of cash dividends and certain other items
made as appropriations of retained earnings associated with cash
outlays with respect to each fiscal or interim six-month period
be appropriated as a legal reserve until such reserve equals 25%
of the stated capital. The legal reserve and additional paid-in capital
are not available for dividends, but may be used to reduce a
deficit by resolution of the shareholders or may be transferred to
common stock by resolution of the Board of Directors.
Cash dividends are approved by the shareholders after the end
of each fiscal period or declared by the Board of Directors after
the end of each interim six-month period. Such dividends are
payable to shareholders of record at the end of each such fiscal
or interim six-month period.
