Notice on Commemorative Dividend for 50th Anniversary
of Founding
KONAMI HOLDINGS CORPORATION (the "Company") will mark the 50th
anniversary of its founding on March 21, 2019.
Therefore, the Company hereby announces the resolution passed at
the meeting of its board of directors held on May 10, 2018
regarding awarding commemorative dividends for the fiscal year
ending March 31, 2019 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of its
founding.
1. Reasons for commemorative dividends
As a pioneer in the Japanese entertainment industry, the Company
fully appreciates that this success is due in great part to support
and cooperation from its shareholders and stakeholders over the
years.
The Company was approved to list the shares on October 1, 1984,
as a leader of Japanese entertainment companies. This led to
opportunities to raise funds and has become the foundation of the
Company as it stands now. We would also like to express our deepest
gratitude to all market participants who have supported us until
the present.
In order to show the Company's appreciation to all shareholders,
it decided to award commemorative dividends of 50 yen per share on
an annual basis (a second-quarter-end dividend of 25 yen and a
year-end dividend of 25 yen) for the 50th anniversary of its
founding in addition to regular dividends announced today, on May
10, 2018, for the year ending March 31, 2019.
We will continuously strive to achieve further growth and
enhance returns to shareholders.
