Transfer restriction period
From 12 March 2027 to 31 January 2030
Conditions for lifting transfer restrictions
The eligible employee must remain a member of this employee stock ownership plan throughout the restricted transfer period and continue making contributions. This does not apply where the employee takes a leave of absence from the plan for a legitimate reason. In the event of withdrawal from the plan, becoming a non-resident, or a corporate reorganisation or similar event, the restrictions will be lifted at the respective times specified in the documents.
Reason for acquisition without consideration
If, during the restricted transfer period, the employee commits a violation of laws or regulations or falls under another specified circumstance set out in the allocation agreement. The Company may also acquire the shares without consideration if the transfer restrictions are not lifted upon expiration of the restricted transfer period or at a prescribed lifting date.
Categories and Number of Persons Covered
Eligible employees of the Company and its subsidiaries: up to 1,100 people, 252 shares per person
Intended allottee's holding policy
During the restricted transfer period, the shares may not be transferred, pledged, or otherwise disposed of, and will be held in a dedicated account opened with Nomura Securities Co., Ltd.
Payment date
12 March 2027
Basis for determining the amount to be paid
The closing price on 6 November 2026, the business day preceding the date of the Board of Directors' resolution, was ¥704 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Standard Market. The deviations from the average closing price were -6.51% for 1 month, -4.48% for 3 months, and 2.03% for 6 months.
Procedures under the Corporate Code of Conduct
As the dilution ratio is less than 25% and the transaction does not involve a change in the controlling shareholder, obtaining an opinion from an independent third party and conducting procedures to confirm shareholders' intentions are not required. The Audit & Supervisory Committee expressed the opinion that the disposal price does not constitute a particularly favorable price and that the transaction is lawful.
