We view returns to shareholders as an important management issue, and from March 2008 we have established a target dividend payout ratio of 20% in consideration of our earnings and financial performance. And in addition to dividends paid to investors, we will also use treasury stock acquisition and other methods as part of our policy of aggressively returning profits to our shareholders.
