About Reference Number

Reference Number

• Reference number: Number uniquely assigned to each record
• CA Reference number: Reference number assigned to each corporate action event. For a record with status "revised" or "delete", same value as reference number of the previous dividend notice to be modified or deleted is set in this field. For a record with status "new", same value as Reference number is set.

Relationship between forecasts and results

A dividend forecast (FRCode = 2) and a dividend result (FRCode = 1) are not linked by the CA reference number, even for the same dividend (same record date). They are provided as separate series of notices.

• Forecast series: The first forecast is provided as a new notice (StatCode = 1), and its reference number becomes the CA reference number. Subsequent revisions (StatCode = 2) and deletions (StatCode = 3) of the forecast carry this CA reference number.
• Result series: The result is not provided as a revision of the forecast, but as a new notice (StatCode = 1) with a new reference number. Its CA reference number is this new reference number, which differs from that of the forecast series.
• The forecast series is not deleted when the result is announced. Both the (latest) forecast record and the result record remain for the same dividend, so use the record with FRCode = 1 when you need the determined amount.
• To match a forecast with its result, compare the issue code (Code) and date fields such as the ex-rights date (ExDate) and the record date (RecDate).

Example: When the following notifications are received, we provide data as shown in the table below

• Issue: Japan Exchange Group, Inc. (Code: 86970)
  • 2023-04-27　　A forecast of the year-end dividend (record date 2024-03-31) is provided as new.
  • 2023-10-27　　The forecast is revised (dividend increase).
  • 2024-04-26　　The result is provided as new.
