Accel ＜6730＞ announced on the 9th that it will pay dividends from surpluses based on the fiscal year ending 2024/3.

The company's shareholder return policy takes into account appropriate levels of “return of term earnings to shareholders” and “internal reserves to enable agile management,” and maximizes return to shareholders. As a general rule, 50% of net profit is the dividend amount (50% dividend ratio) for profit dividends based on this policy. When the dividend amount calculated with a dividend payout ratio of 50% falls below the previous year's dividend amount, the dividend amount is examined in consideration of the previous dividend level after securing appropriate internal reserves. Note, with regard to dividend payout ratio, priority will be given to consolidated accounts.

The year-end dividend for the fiscal year ending 2024/3 is 81 yen per share, which is a 9 yen increase from the previous forecast as a result of comprehensively considering future business environment and business development in addition to the financial results for the fiscal year ending 2024/3 based on the basic policy. The consolidated dividend payout ratio is 49.9%. Furthermore, this matter is scheduled to be submitted to the 29th Annual General Meeting of Shareholders of the Company scheduled to be held on 2024/6/20. The reference date is 2024/3/31. The effective date is 2024/6/21.
