II. Reasons for Determination of Dividend Amount
As Sony stated in its Securities Report (Yukashoken
Hokokusho) and Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, Sony believes that continuously increasing corporate
value and providing dividends are essential to rewarding stockholders. It is Sony’s policy to utilize retained earnings, after ensuring the perpetuation of stable dividends, to carry out various investments that contribute to an increase in
corporate value, such as those that ensure future growth and strengthen competitiveness. In light of the consolidated financial results forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021 and other information set forth in the earnings
release announced today, Sony has forecasted that it will pay 25 yen per share as an interim dividend for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021, based on the policy outlined above. Sony intends to determine the actual amount of dividends based on an overall consideration of its consolidated operating results, financial condition and future business expectations.
