Impact on Shareholders and Future Outlook

Acquiring treasury stock is a measure intended to maintain and enhance shareholder value by restraining the supply of shares and mitigating dilution. The progress of the current acquisitions is of a certain scale, but the maximum limit set in May 2026 is 6,500,000 shares (a cap equivalent to 4.05% of the total number of issued shares), and whether additional acquisitions will be made depends on progress relative to that cap. A notable point is that the implementation policy combining market purchases and ToSTNeT-3 has been maintained.
