■Shareholder return policy
TKP (3479) is currently in the upfront investment stage, and profit dividends have been foregone from the viewpoint of increasing the speed of business development and securing necessary funds as the scale expands. Even in the medium-term management plan currently being promoted, it is a policy to prioritize business investment aimed at growth, and there are currently no plans for profit dividends for the fiscal year ending 2025/2.
Positive strategic investments have also been restricted due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and from recognition that it is a phase where investments for future growth should be prioritized, we will strive for internal reserves for a while, and we believe there is a high possibility that securing funds necessary for business expansion will be prioritized.
