Notice of FAST RETAILING CO., LTD. (the “Company”) regarding
the Company’s Revision to its Dividend Estimate for the Year Ending August 31, 2023

At the executive board meeting of the Company held on October 12, 2023, the Company decided to revise its dividend per share estimate for the year ending August 31, 2023. The decision is detailed below.

1. Reasons for the dividend forecast revision
Based on the strong business performance achieved for the year ending August 31, 2023, the Company has revised its year-end dividend per share estimate from 155.00 yen to 165.00 yen. Consequently, the estimated total dividend per share has been revised from 280.00 yen to 290.00 yen.

2. Dividend revision

*The Company conducted a three-for-one stock split for each common share effective from March 1, 2023. The dividend per share figures displayed above reflect that stock split.
Given the fact that the record date for the stock split was February 28, 2023, we paid an interim dividend per share of 375.00 yen based on the number of issued shares prior to the stock split.
