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.

Intended allottee's holding policy
The shares will be granted to employees in accordance with the share grant rules. The disposal shares are not expected to be released into the stock market all at once.
Payment date
1 December 2026
Basis for determining the amount to be paid
The closing price of the company's shares on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on 9 November 2026 was ¥1,148. As there was no trading on the business day preceding the date of the Board of Directors' resolution, the closing price on the second preceding business day was used. No discount or premium rate was stated.
Procedures under the Corporate Code of Conduct
As the dilution rate is below 25% and there will be no change in the controlling shareholder, it is not necessary to obtain an opinion from an independent third party or conduct procedures to confirm shareholder intent as prescribed in Article 432 of the Tokyo Stock Exchange Securities Listing Regulations. All 3 corporate auditors, including 2 outside corporate auditors, expressed the opinion that the transfer price is reasonable and is not particularly favorable.

The reasons the company gives

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

To improve employee engagement and enhance the corporate value of the group over the medium to long term. The shares transferred will be delivered to employees in accordance with the share delivery rules, and are not expected to be released onto the stock market all at once. The company therefore determined that the impact on the stock market will be minor and that the number of shares transferred and the scale of dilution are reasonable.
