The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

To enhance eligible employees’ motivation to achieve performance targets and contribute to improving corporate value, and to promote value sharing with shareholders. The company also determined that the shares are not expected to flow into the market all at once, that the impact on the secondary market will be minor, and that the number of shares disposed of and the scale of dilution are reasonable.
