Notice of Increased Dividend Forecast for the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2008
The Board of Directors of VERISERVE Corporation on March 18, 2008 approved a resolution to revise the
year-end dividend per share applicable to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 as follows.
1. Reasons for dividend increase
The return of earnings to shareholders is one of the highest management priorities of VERISERVE. The
fundamental policy is to return earnings while considering the need to establish a sound base of operations
and retain sufficient earnings to support future business operations.
Accordingly, last year the Company switched to a policy of stable, continuous, earnings-backed dividends
based on a certain DOE target as a means of returning earnings to shareholders and encouraging medium to
long-term shareholding.
Based on this policy, and in view of the recent operating results, the Company is revising its year-end
dividend forecast (released on October 25, 2007) of 2, 500 yen per common share applicable to the fiscal
year ended March 31, 2008 upward as follows.
