Basic Policy for Profit Distribution

Ryobi's basic policy for profit distribution is to consistently distribute stable performance-based cash dividends to shareholders as it strives to improve earnings power and strengthen its corporate structure. In order to strengthen market competitiveness and increase its earnings power over the medium term, Ryobi will apply funds from its internal reserve to: 1) reinforce its manufacturing and sales organization in line with changes to the management environment; 2) achieve growth through capital investment; 3) streamline business procedures; and 4) develop new technologies and products.


Cash Dividends for Fiscal 2010 and Fiscal 2011

It was with great reluctance that no interim and year-end cash dividends were paid for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 due to a significant deterioration in performance.

For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2011, we plan to pay out a full-year cash dividend of ¥6 per share in the form of a year-end cash dividend, based on the Company's forecast of achieving year-on-year performance improvements and, consequently, returning to profitability.
