Purpose and Overview of the Plan Introduction
Osaka Gas Co., Ltd. will introduce a trust-type stock compensation plan (ESOP) targeted at managerial-level employees. This plan is linked to company performance, whereby stock price appreciation contributes to employees’ asset building and enhances awareness and engagement toward corporate value enhancement. Alongside the existing restricted stock compensation plan for directors and executive officers, this strengthens the system for management and managerial levels to jointly pursue sustainable growth.
Structure and Operation of the Trust-Type Stock Compensation Plan
Under a trust agreement with Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking Corporation and Japan Master Trust Bank as trustees, the company will provide funds to acquire treasury stock from the market. Points will be allocated to eligible employees, and shares will be granted after the lapse of the employment period. The trust period is from February 5, 2026, to March 31, 2029, and voting rights will be exercised based on instructions from the trust administrators. The total amount of shares to be acquired is equivalent to 300 million yen, with the acquisition period planned from February 10 to March 19, 2026.
