Together with Shareholders and Investors
The Toyota Boshoku group actively communicates with shareholders and investors, while enhancing corporate value through our business activities. Our dedication will continue to meet expectations that are the basis for their support and trust.
Aiming to boost corporate value
We are deeply appreciative of the support and trust we receive from shareholders and investors. In response, we seek to raise corporate value. The Company regards the distribution of profits to shareholders and investors as an important management policy. Accordingly, we make efforts to improve and strengthen our corporate structure and proactively expand our business.
Pursuing improved corporate value through long-term, stable growth, Toyota Boshoku will also ensure management transparency by disclosing business and financial information in a timely and appropriate manner.
Fiscal 2010 distribution of profits
Business results for fiscal 2010 are shown on Financial Highlights. The Company’s management policy is to always strive to distribute stable profits to its shareholders and investors to meet their expectations. On this basis and in due consideration, cash dividends for fiscal 2010 were increased by 3 yen from the previous fiscal year to 16 yen per share (annual).

Seminar for individual investors
Briefings for analysts and investors
The Toyota Boshoku group regularly holds results briefings with the Company president and executive officers in order to aid analysts and institutional investors in understanding Toyota Boshoku's financial situation and business strategies.
In fiscal 2010, two briefings were held after the second quarter of the year and after the fiscal year-end. A number of analysts and institutional investors attended these briefings.

Plant tours for shareholders
We hold tours of our plants and facilities, in which individual shareholders can observe our production lines to deepen understanding of the Toyota Boshoku group.
In fiscal 2010, we held tours at the Toyota Boshoku Sanage Plant on the day of the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders in June 2010 and in February 2011. A total of 91 people from among over 800 applicants took part in the tours. On these occasions, visitors were able observe assembly and processing lines for car seats and door trims and receive explanations of business operations. The exchange of ideas and question and answer sessions also served to strengthen communication with individual shareholders.
Concerning the future
During fiscal 2010, we not only increased the number of seminars we held for individual investors but also expanded the scope of our activities and worked to deepen understanding of Toyota Boshoku through direct meetings with as many individual investors as possible.
Moving ahead, we will strive to make even more individual investors supporters of the Company through ongoing activities aimed at increasing their support.
