Ebara Foods Industry | Notice of Share Buyback and Introduction of Reward System

Overview of the Disposal

Ebara Foods Industry resolved to dispose of 9,500 shares of common stock to six directors as restricted stock compensation on August 7, 2026. The transfer price was calculated based on the closing price of 2,470 yen on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, totaling 23,465,000 yen, without payment of cash or assets. The shares are granted as long-term incentives, with a transfer restriction period until the directors' retirement. The disposal has been approved by the General Meeting of Shareholders and aims to enhance corporate value through long-term management.

Impact on Shareholders and Future Outlook

This share buyback aimed at providing incentives to officers and enhancing corporate value is considered to have limited dilutive effect on shares. The disposed shares are managed with transfer restrictions, and after restrictions are lifted, the company will acquire them free of charge. Going forward, the company intends to continue strengthening its reward system for officers and improving transparency in share management to further enhance long-term shareholder value.
