    Q&A (Summary) of Corporate Strategy Meeting for Fiscal 2018 Date: May 31, 2018 (Thursday), 15:30–17:00 (JST) Respondents*: Shigeru Ishii, President, Representative Director of Sony Financial Holdings Inc. Hiroaki Kiyomiya, Managing Director, Member of the Board of Sony Financial Holdings Inc. Tomoo Hagimoto, President, Representative Director of Sony Life Insurance Co., Ltd. Atsuo Niwa, President, Representative Director of Sony Assurance Inc. Yuichiro Sumimoto, President, Representative Director of Sony Bank Inc. * Respondents’ positions are as of the date of the meeting. Note: The original content has been revised and edited for ease of understanding. [Q&A] Q1: [SFH] It seems to me that connecting Sony Life, Sony Assurance and Sony Bank via APIs and account aggregation and forging ties with other financial institutions would be effective. What are your thoughts in this regard? A: We believe that sharing the Sony Life information accumulated by Lifeplanner sales employees and Sony Bank information would enable us to realize further sophisticated services. However, cooperation that involves personal information requires customer permission, so at this point rather than sharing the information we currently hold we are thinking of building a new platform. Q2: [SFH] In your medium-term plan, you have set the goal of consolidated adjusted ROE of more than 5%, which is your target for raising dividends. At what level do you aim to increase dividends, and around what level do you expect dividends to be in the final year of the plan? Rather than raising dividends by ¥2.5, might you be expected to raise them by ¥5 depending on profit levels? A: Our basic thoughts are to raise dividends by ¥2.5 per fiscal year, but if consolidated adjusted ROE is significantly higher than 5%, we might consider raising dividends by more than ¥2.5.
