Tsumura & Co. (Headquarters: Tokyo, President: Junichi
Yoshii) is pleased to announce that a meeting of the Board of Directors held
today adopted a resolution to revise upward the dividend per share for the
term ending March 2009 (73rd term). Details are as follows:
1. Reason for the revision
Considering that Kampo formulation for prescriptions, our mainstay, continued
to perform well in the results in the first quarter of the fiscal year ending
March 2009, announced on August 5, 2008, Tsumura has decided to revise upward
the interim dividend and year-end dividend of the fiscal year ending March 2009,
from the estimated dividend of  13.00, to 17.00, an increase of 4.00. As a
result, the annual dividend for the fiscal year ending March 2009 has been raised
8.00, to 34.00, from the estimated dividend of 26.00.
