TDK Corporation (the "Company") hereby announces that at the meeting of the Board of Directors held today, the Company resolved to revise the projection for dividends per common share for fiscal 2008, the year ending March 31, 2008, as follows:

This resolution will be put to the Ordinary General Meeting of Stockholders, which is scheduled to be held in late June 2008.

  1. Reasons for Revision:
    Returning earnings to stockholders is one of the Company's highest management priorities, and the Company's fundamental policy is to devote its efforts to a stable increase in dividends.

    As a result, the Company's projection for total annual dividends is now ¥130 per share, including the ¥60 interim dividend previously paid on December 6, 2007.
