Shikoku Electric Power Company Decides to Decommission Anan Power Station Unit 3 and Sakaide Power Station Unit 3 Shikoku Electric Power Company had decided to decommission Anan Power Station Unit 3 (450 MW, oil-fired, Anan, Tokushima Prefecture) and Sakaide Power Station Unit 3 (450 MW, oil- and coke oven gas-fired, Sakaide, Kagawa Prefecture). Operations at Anan Power Station Unit 3 had been suspended since January this year due to the aging of its equipment and decrease in opportunities for operation. Since there was no prospect of it being utilized in the future, the Company had decided to proceed with the necessary procedures and decommission the unit by approximately June this year. Meanwhile, since commencing operations, Sakaide Power Station Unit 3 had generated electricity using oil and by-product gas (coke oven gas) from the adjacent coke manufacturing plant, contributing to the stable supply of electricity up to the present. However, as the supply of coke oven gas from the adjacent plant would be discontinued in the second half of fiscal year 2027, remedial measures would be required to switch to exclusively oil-fired operations. In addition, taking into account the aging of the equipment and the decrease in its necessity from the perspective of demand and supply, the Company had decided to decommission the unit by the second half of fiscal year 2027 in conjunction with the discontinuation of the coke oven gas supply. The impact of the decision to decommission the two units on business performance was expected to be minor. Upcoming Dividend • Mar 23

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 0.1% per year for the foreseeable future. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are expected to decline, then in most cases the share price will decline over time as well. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (6.9% operating cash flow to total debt). Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 0.1% per year for the foreseeable future. Minor Risk Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Announcement • Dec 06

New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 8.1% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Interest payments are not well covered by earnings (0.4x net interest cover). Minor Risks Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (8.1% increase in shares outstanding). Price Target Changed • Sep 23

New minor risk - Dividend sustainability The dividend is not well covered by cash flows. The company is paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Dividend yield: 3.0% This is considered a minor risk. Dividends are ultimately paid out of the company's available cash reserves. Companies that pay out too much of their cash flow are at risk of having to reduce or cut their dividend in future. If cash flow growth slows or cash flows fall, then there may not be enough cash reserves to maintain the same dividend. Or in extreme cases, companies may opt to take on debt to maintain the dividend. This risk is mitigated by the fact the dividend is covered by earnings, however, cash flows are generally more important. For dividend paying companies, any reduction in the dividend can significantly impact the share price. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Interest payments are not well covered by earnings (0.4x net interest cover). Minor Risk Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Reported Earnings • Jul 28
