Notice Regarding Projected Dividend for the Fiscal Year Ending December 31, 2019

(the 119th Business Term)

Canon Inc. (the “Company”) passed a Board of Directors’ resolution on December 5, 2019, regarding the projected year-end dividend per share for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019 (the 119th Business Term) as follows.

 

1.

Basic Policy Regarding Profit Distribution and Dividend for the Period

The Company works to provide a stable return and actively return profits to shareholders, mainly in the form of a dividend, taking into consideration medium-term profit forecasts along with planned future investments, cash flow and other factors.

As for projections for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019, while the business environment surrounding the Company is challenging, given the global economic slowdown and other factors, from the perspective of providing a stable return to shareholders, the Company plans to distribute a year-end dividend of 80.00 yen per share, which is the same amount as the interim dividend. As a result, the full-year dividend amount for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019 will amount to 160.00 yen per share.
