General Meeting of Shareholders |
 |
 |
|
Kyocera regards the General Meeting of Shareholders, the highest decision-making organ of the corporation, as an important opportunity to communicate with shareholders, and thus we always strive for openness.
The report we send to our shareholders is designed for clear understanding. It has considerable reference information, including photographs, graphs and explanations of end-of-year figures. We strive to ensure that the opinions of shareholders are reflected in management by sending out meeting notices to shareholders earlier than legally required and by making voting rights exercisable via the internet. |

| Kyocera's dividend policy is in principle based on the Net income attributable to shareholders listed in the consolidated financial results. The benchmark for the consolidated dividend payout ratio is being maintained at 20% to 25%. Furthermore, dividend payouts are determined from an overall perspective, taking into consideration funding needed for medium? to long-term corporate growth and other matters. Based on this dividend policy, the annual dividend for the fiscal year ended March 2011 was set at 130 yen per share, reflecting a 10-yen increase from the year ended March 2010. |
