発行済株式総数

1.24% of the total number of issued shares, and 1.29% of the 198,011 total voting rights as of 30 September 2026

The dilution rate shows what proportion the newly issued shares represent of the existing shares. The higher the proportion, the more the value and voting rights per share are diluted.

Categories and Number of Persons Covered
Employees of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries (the breakdown of the number of employees and shares allocated is Not disclosed)
Intended allottee's holding policy
The shares will be delivered to eligible employees who satisfy specified requirements in accordance with the stock delivery rules. The shares are expected to be delivered to eligible employees during the trust period, and are not expected to be released onto the stock market all at once.
Basis for determining the amount to be paid
The closing price of the Company's shares on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on 4 November 2026 was ¥1,965. As this was the market price immediately before the Board of Directors' resolution, it was judged to be highly objective and reasonable. No discount or premium rate is disclosed.
Procedures under the Corporate Code of Conduct
Because the dilution rate is below 25% and there will be no change in the controlling shareholder, obtaining an opinion from an independent third party and conducting procedures to confirm shareholder intentions, as stipulated in Article 432 of the Tokyo Stock Exchange's Securities Listing Regulations, are not required. The Audit and Supervisory Committee (3 members, including 2 outside directors) has stated that the basis for calculating the disposal price is reasonable and that the disposal price is not particularly favourable.
