The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The continuation is intended to secure and enhance the Company's corporate value and, by extension, the common interests of its shareholders, in light of social and economic conditions and discussions concerning takeover response policies since the current plan was introduced. Another stated reason is to secure the information and time shareholders need to make a decision if a large-scale purchase is made, and to enable negotiations with the purchaser.
