TOKYO, Feb 13 (Pulse News Wire) -- MERF Inc., listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange's Standard Market under code number 3168, has announced its decision regarding an interim dividend and revised annual dividend expectations. The announcement was made during a board meeting held on February 13, 2026.
The company will distribute a special interim dividend of ¥20 per share based on the record date of February 28, 2026. This represents a significant increase from the previous interim dividend amount of ¥10 per share distributed on February 28, 2025. The total dividend payout for this interim distribution is expected to be ¥282 million, compared to ¥141 million in the prior year. The effective payment date for shareholders will be May 8, 2026.
In addition to the interim dividend, MERF has also revised its annual dividend forecast. Previously, the company had projected an annual dividend of ¥20 per share, split evenly between two semi-annual payments of ¥10 each. However, due to strong performance throughout the fiscal year, the new projection includes a regular dividend of ¥20 per share along with a commemorative dividend of ¥10 per share, bringing the total annual dividend to ¥30 per share.
This change reflects MERF’s appreciation for the long-standing support it has received from its stakeholders since its establishment in September 2025, marking its 40th anniversary. In recognition of this milestone, the company plans to issue a one-time commemorative dividend of ¥10 per share alongside the regular interim dividend for the August 2026 period.
Going forward, MERF remains committed to providing stable and continuous returns to its shareholders as part of its ongoing efforts to maintain shareholder satisfaction and loyalty. The company’s dedication to these principles underscores its strategic focus on sustainable growth and value creation for all stakeholders.
The total dividend payout amounts to ¥282 million.
