l Reason for the Revision

In accordance with Revision of the consolidated earnings forecast for the year ending March 31, 2022, MC now plans to raise its original projection for the annual dividend per share by 8 yen from 134 yen to 142 yen. Accordingly, the Board of Directors today passed a resolution setting the interim dividend per share at 71 yen, half of the revised annual dividend forecast.

Note: The above forecasts are projections based on information available at the time of this release and certain assumptions that management believes to be reasonable. Due to a variety of factors, actual results may differ materially from these forecasts, which are not intended as a guarantees of future performance.
