Shoei Yamana
President and CEO
Konica Minolta, Inc.
Konica Minolta intends to aggressively engage in investments in order to realize sustainable
growth and proactively pass on profits generated and cash to its shareholders. In doing so,
we place emphasis on the absolute amount of dividends. It is our wish that investors who
will support Konica Minolta’s growth for the medium- to long-term own shares in the
Company. Therefore, rather than raise and lower dividends paid in response to changes in
short-term performance, we meet the expectations of our shareholders by increasing
dividend payments on an ongoing basis. Moreover, in addition to dividends, we engage in
the acquisition of treasury shares. Based on this profit return policy, regarding ordinary
dividends for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2016, we plan to distribute a total annual
dividend of ¥30 per share (¥20 in the previous term). Additionally, from May to July 2015,
we purchased a total of ¥10 billion of our own shares (6.57 million shares acquired), and
cancelled 9 million treasury shares in June.
Konica Minolta will continue to achieve sustainable growth and prove worthy of the
trust we have built with our stakeholders. We ask for your ongoing support and guidance.
Uncompromising on absolute amount of dividends while aiming to
continuously increase dividend payments
