Announcement of Revision of the Fiscal Year-End Dividend Projection for the Fiscal
Year Ending March 31, 2005 (35th Term)

THK Co., Ltd. hereby announces that it's Board of Directors at today's meeting resolved to revise upward the projection
for per-share dividend payments for the fiscal year-end.

1.Reasons for Revision

During the fiscal half-year that ended September 30, 2004, sales to all of the company's main users, including machine
tool makers, general machinery makers, and electronics makers have continued to be strong, as a result of which the
company marked its highest earnings on record.

Since earnings for the full fiscal year are also expected to be high, the company plans to pay a per-share dividend of Y
18.00, an increase of Y3.00 from the initial plan, for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2005 (the 35th term).

For the interim dividend, however, the company plans to pay Y7.50 per share, instead of Y9.00, up Y1.50 from the
previous interim period, because it should comply with the provisions concerning interim dividend payments specified in
the stock swap agreement entered into with Daito Seiki Co., Ltd. on July 26, 2004.

Meanwhile, the company intends to pay Y10.50 per share as the fiscal year-end dividend, up Y3.00 from the previous
fiscal year, although this is subject to the resolution of an ordinary general shareholders' meeting scheduled for June
2005.
