Governance
The company operates as a Company with an Audit and Supervisory Committee, with a Board of Directors comprising 8 members (3 of whom are outside directors), and has adopted an executive officer system. It has established a voluntary Nomination Committee, Compensation Committee, Sustainability Committee, and Outside Directors' Meeting to strengthen the effectiveness of its governance.
Risk Management
The Internal Control Committee, chaired by the President and Representative Director, functions as the overseeing body, periodically identifying and managing risks across seven categories: "accidents/disasters," "information security," "legal violations/compliance," "tax/finance," "human resources/labor," "business," and "politics/society."

Shareholder Returns
For FY2026 (ending March 2026), an annual dividend of ¥80 per share (¥30 interim + ¥50 year-end) was paid, with total dividends of ¥391 million. Due to a net loss recorded for the period, the payout ratio is not calculable. As the company is scheduled to be delisted on July 30, 2026 following a share exchange with Sumitomo Chemical, no dividend forecast for FY2027 (ending March 2027) has been disclosed.
Dividend Policy
The company's policy is to determine dividends from surplus by comprehensively weighing the securing of long-term and stable returns for shareholders against the enhancement of shareholders' equity in preparation for business performance in each fiscal year and future business development. For FY2026 (ending March 2026), an annual dividend of ¥80 per share (¥30 interim, ¥50 year-end) was implemented, with total dividends of ¥391 million. As the company is scheduled to be delisted on July 30, 2026 due to a share exchange making Sumitomo Chemical Co., Ltd. its wholly owning parent company (effective date scheduled for August 1, 2026), the company is refraining from disclosing a dividend forecast for FY2027 (ending March 2027).
