Companies that do not meet the criteria for market capitalization of tradable shares are expected to clearly state in their "plan" how they will increase this by any means.
While it cannot be denied that increasing dividends may attract investors' attention, shareholder return and dividend policy should have been discussed within the context of capital allocation.
Perhaps the plan was compiled in a somewhat vague manner, considering the risk of not being able to achieve the mid-term management plan if too many specific figures were presented.

About 18 months ago, <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/profiles/travis-lundy" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="accounts:25" rel="noopener">Travis Lundy</a> set up an interesting framework to look at TOPIX Inclusions over time, showing how different size categories performed in the run-up to inclusion then after inclusion. That was in <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/insights/historical-topix-inclusions-how-do-they-do-around-inclusion-date" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="insights:26751" rel="noopener">Historical TOPIX Inclusions:  How Do They Do Around Inclusion Date?</a> I published <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/insights/historical-topix-inclusions-what-flavor-performs-best" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="insights:39523" rel="noopener">Historical TOPIX Inclusions:  What Flavor Performs Best?</a> last month to enhance and update the analysis to include combination inclusion event size and impact size as parameters by which to understand reward: risk characteristics. This month I published <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/insights/topix-inclusion-pre-events-recent-tachiaigai-bunbai-round-up" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="insights:40509" rel="noopener">TOPIX Inclusion Pre-Events: Recent "Tachiaigai Bunbai" Round-Up</a> which discussesThere are currently 10 live pre-events, 5 live inclusion events, and a half dozen just-post-inclusion names from May 2020.This insight provides a recap of what has happened this month in each category, and the charts can show you where each category of live event situates itself on its historical pattern.The three TOPIX inclusions for May in the non-AVOID category outperformed TOPIX by an average of just over 50% from announcement to inclusion. We wrote on all three, being <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/insights/topix-inclusion-retail-partners-8167-jp" target="_blank" rel="noopener">especially bullish on the one which went up 80%</a>. This category of event trade can offer significantly interesting trading opportunities. We encourage investors to track them.
