Dentsu Group to be removed from Nikkei 225 High Dividend Yield 50 Index

TOKYO -- Japan's Dentsu Group will be removed from the Nikkei 225 High Dividend Yield Stock 50 Index on Sept. 9, as the company's dividend forecast for the current fiscal term remained undecided as of the end of August, index provider Nikkei said.

The index, which consists of stocks with high dividend yields on Nikkei Stock Average, excludes constituents with zero or undecided dividend forecasts. No replacement will be added to the index, and the number of constituents stocks will return to 50 after the annual review in June next year, Nikkei said.
