Softbank Announces 3-For-1 Stock Split

TOKYO (Nikkei)--Softbank Corp. (9984) will split its stock 3-for-1 for
shareholders of record as of the end of April, the company
announced Wednesday.

The decision reflects a desire to increase liquidity in the stock,
which although down 64% from the record high reached on Feb. 15,
remains a daunting commitment for most investors. The minimum
trading unit of 100 shares costs 7.13 million yen based on
Softbank's Wednesday closing price of 71,300 yen, still 4.1 times
the year-earlier level.

A split at the current price would make a block of Softbank shares
worth 2.37 million yen.

Softbank will pay an annual dividend of 20 yen per share for the
year ended March, unchanged from fiscal 1998. The dividend for the
current financial year is under consideration.

The Tokyo Stock Exchange has asked companies with high stock
prices to take action aimed at enhancing liquidity.
