Notice Concerning Distribution of Interim Dividends from Surplus

At a meeting held on November 5, 2009, the Board of Directors of Toyota Motor

Corporation ("TMC") resolved to distribute dividends from surplus, with record date dated 

September 30, 2009. In relation to the above, we hereby inform you of the following:

1.  Details of dividends

	Interim dividend for FY 2010	Most recent dividend forecast	Interim dividend for  FY 2009
Record Date	September 30, 2009	September 30, 2009	September 30, 2008
Dividend per share	20.00 yen	Not reported	65.00 yen
Total amount of dividends	62,720 million yen	-	203,795 million yen
Effective date	November 26, 2009	-	November 26, 2008
Source of dividends	Retained earnings	-	Retained earnings

2.  Reason for the dividend amount

     TMC deems the benefit of its shareholders as one of its priority management policies

     and will strive to continuously pay dividends, while giving due consideration to factors

     such as business results for each term, investment plans and the status of liquid

     funds.

     The business environment in the first half of this fiscal year was severe in general,

     due to weak world economy and yen appreciation since the last fall. It is difficult to

     maintain the level of interim dividends paid in FY2009. Therefore, TMC has decided

     to pay an interim dividend of 20 yen per share.

     TMC pays dividends twice a year, an interim dividend and a year-end dividend.
