R-Tech Ueno, Ltd. (JASDAQ:4573):
A resolution was passed during the Board of Directors’ Meeting held on February 12, 2014 to revise our dividend per share forecast as described below.
1. Reasons for the revisions made to the dividend forecast
We consider the return of profits to shareholders to be one of our important main issues. We will continue to deliver steady dividend distributions to our shareholders while considering future business performance.
In line with this policy and overall consideration of the current business performance and financial conditions, we have increased the expected dividend for the fiscal year ending March 2014 by 5 yen from 20 yen to 25 yen per share.

| (Note) | We conducted a 200 for 1 stock split on July 1, 2013. Subsequently, we show the value of dividends for FY3/13 based upon an assumption that the stock split was performed at the start of the previous fiscal year. The dividend payment would be JPY3,000 per share if the effect of the stock split is excluded. | |
