Reason for Revision of the Year-End Dividend

OMRON's policy on shareholder return is based primarily on securing capital resources for investments to promote growth and in turn increase corporate value, and returning surplus to shareholders to the maximum extent possible taking the level of free cash flow into consideration. When determining dividends, the Company aims to maintain a payout ratio at a minimum of 25% with a near-term DOE target of 2%.

Following the favorable consolidated financial results for the fiscal 2013 announced today, the Company has decided to make an upward revision to the year-end dividend to 28 yen per share, up 3 yen from the previous forecast. Together with 25 yen per share interim dividend, this will amount to a total full-year dividend payout of 53 yen per share.
