Nidec Announces Annual Dividend Payout from Retained Earnings

Nidec Corporation (OTC: NJDCY; TSE: 6594) (the “Company” or “Nidec”) today announced that the Company resolved at a meeting of its Board of Directors held on May 25, 2016 to distribute retained earnings (date of record: March 31, 2016) in the form of an annual dividend as outlined below:

The Company upholds shareholder-oriented management and places importance on regular dividend payments, seeking to increase its dividend payout to around 30% of the consolidated net income. Based on this dividend policy and in comprehensive consideration of its financial position, profit levels and current dividend payout ratio, the Company has decided to reward its shareholders with a year-end dividend of 40 yen per share. This translates into an annual dividend of 80 yen per share together with the interim dividend of 40 yen per share for the year ended March 31, 2016.

Annual dividends per share for the year ended March 31, 2016	40 yen	40 yen	80 yen
