Notice Regarding Revision of Dividend Projection for Fiscal 2009
TOKYO JAPAN, March 24, 2009
TDK Corporation (the Company) hereby announces that at a meeting
of the Board of Directors held today, the Company resolved to revise the projection for dividends
per common share for fiscal 2009, the year ending March 31, 2009, as follows:
When TDK released its fiscal 2009 third-quarter operating results on February 9, it announced
plans to pay a year-end dividend per common share of 70.0 yen. However, TDK has closely
re-examined the impact on fiscal 2009 consolidated operating results of the pronounced decline in
capacity utilization caused by a sudden change in the operating environment, structural reforms
and other factors. Consequently, TDK has decided to lower the projected year-end dividend per
common share to 60.0 yen.
