Enhance medium-to long-term corporate value by strengthening shareholder returns and investment for growth

ROHM's basic policy for returning profits to shareholders is based on the payment of stable ordinary dividends.
In addition, as part of our mid-term management plan, we will work to improve financial efficiency by reducing cash on hand and purchasing treasury stock.

ROHM conducted a stock split in which each common share was split into four shares with a record date of September 30, 2023 and an effective date of October 1, 2023.
The above table is presented on a post-split basis, and dividends and net income per share for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 and prior have been adjusted to reflect the effect of the stock split.

Efforts to Increase Employees' Awareness of Participation in Management

ROHM Group has established an employee stock ownership plan. The purpose of this program is to enhance employee benefits and increase their awareness of participation in management. Employees can continually purchase shares from their own monthly salaries and bonuses, starting from a small amount.
In March 2022, the incentive grant rate for the stock ownership plan was increased from 10% to 20% in order to improve employees' asset building with the company's shares and to increase employees' engagement further.
This has had the effect of increasing the participation rate in the employee stock ownership plan by about 15% throughout the ROHM Group, and as of March 2024, the membership rate was 48.5%.
In addition, we hold briefings on financial results and employee stock ownership plan every quarter. In addition to providing an overview of the financial results and explaining the employee stock ownership plan, a representative from a securities company also speaks about the attractiveness of the plan. The information is also distributed via the company intranet.
We will continue to take measures that lead to employees' participation in management from the same perspective as that of shareholders, aiming to further enhance our corporate value.

At the General Shareholders Meetings, in addition to the prescribed reports and resolutions, we strive to promote interactive communication by explaining business performance, market trends, and management policies via video, and by using screens to answer questions frequently asked by shareholders.
