This excerpt taken from the TM 20-F filed Jun 26, 2006. Dividends Toyota normally pays cash dividends twice per year. Toyotas board of directors recommends the dividend to be paid following the end of each fiscal year. This recommended dividend must then be approved by shareholders at the Ordinary General Shareholders Meeting held in June of each year. Immediately following approval of the dividend at the shareholders meeting, Toyota pays the dividend to holders of record as of the preceding March 31. In addition to these year-end dividends, Toyota may pay interim dividends in the form of cash distributions from its surplus to its shareholders of record as of September 30 in each year by resolution of its board of directors and without shareholder approval. Toyota normally pays the interim dividend in late November. In addition, under the Corporation Act, subject to certain limitation on the distributable surplus, dividends, if any, may be paid to shareholders, beneficial shareholders, and pledgees of record as of a record date as set forth by Toyotas articles of incorporation or as determined by the board of directors from time to time. Dividends shall be paid by way of distribution of surplus. Dividends may be distributed in cash, or in kind subject to certain conditions being met. Toyota may make distribution of dividends by a resolution of a general shareholders meeting. However, under its articles of incorporation, in addition to the distribution of interim dividends mentioned above, Toyota may generally determine the matters with respect to distribution of surplus by a resolution of the board of directors under certain conditions. Toyota introduced such provision of the articles of incorporation in order to secure flexible capital policy, but does not intend to exercise it immediately after such introduction.
