Pioneer Announces Year-end Dividend for Fiscal 2009 
TOKYO - Pioneer Corporation has announced that at a meeting of its Board of 
Directors held today, the Company decided to pay no year-end dividend for fiscal 
2009, the year ending March 31, 2009, to its shareholders. 
 
 
Pioneer positions its dividend policy as one of the highest management 
priorities. On the basis of maintaining stable dividends, the Company sets 
dividend payments appropriately in light of its financial position, consolidated 
business results, and other factors. 
The decision to pay no year-end dividend for fiscal 2009 is attributable to the 
Company's forecast of a consolidated net loss of JPY130 billion based on lower 
operating revenue due to intensifying competition involving its core products 
and the impact of the worsening global economic downturn, as well as business 
restructuring expenses and other factors. 
Going forward, the Company is determined to improve its business performance by 
striving to ensure the success of ongoing business restructuring measures such 
as business portfolio realignment including the withdrawal from the display 
business.
