Company Announcements

KONAMI HOLDINGS CORPORATION (the "Company") announced that the dividend forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021 was not determined in its consolidated financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2020, which was released on August 6, 2020. The Company hereby announces the dividend forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021 as follows.

1.    Dividend forecast

2.    Reasons for the dividend forecast

The Company believes that the provision of dividends and the enhancement of corporate value are important ways to return profits to its shareholders.

Consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021 has not been determined at present, however, the dividend on an annual basis for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021 will be the same amount as the previous fiscal year ended March 31, 2020.

The interim and year-end dividend forecasts will be 22.50 yen per share, respectively, as a result, the dividend forecast on an annual basis will be 45.00 yen per share.

We will recalculate the dividend on an annual basis to be at least 45.00 yen per share to achieve a consolidated payout ratio of more than 30 % as our basic policy, when the consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021 could be reasonably determined.
