(the “Company” or “SoftBank” or “we”) and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) has been aiming to become a corporate group needed most by people around the world.

Shareholder returns
Combining dividends and share buybacks
We consider the return of profits to shareholders to be an important goal for our management. We have set a total shareholder return ratio of approximately 85%*1 as our shareholder return policy during FY2020 to FY2022. In addition, we will not reduce dividend per share and flexibly consider implementing share buybacks.
At the same time, in order to increase our corporate value, we will make capital investments efficiently to further raise the sophistication and expand the service areas of 5G, as well as continuing investments in new businesses. We can achieve both a high rate of shareholder returns and growth investments based on our ability to make highly efficient investments in new businesses in cooperation with the SoftBank Group Corp. portfolio companies.
