Conclusion
For fiscal 2008, Sharp regrets to declare an annual dividend of 21 yen per share, a decrease of 7 yen from the previous year. Forecast of an annual dividend for fiscal 2009 hasn’t been determined yet, and we will make decisions considering future economic outlook and business performance in a comprehensive manner.
In addition, in order to increase management transparency and reciprocal supervisory functions, we are introducing the Outside Director and strengthening our corporate governance system.
Please also note that the content of Sharp’s Takeover Defense Plan should remain the same and be presumed to continue in effect this year, with revisions of certain details.
