【Tokuyama】 Introduction of Employee Stock Grant System | May 2026

Overview of the System

Tokuyama will implement an employee stock grant system utilizing an ESOP trust to promote awareness of corporate value enhancement among employees. The system targets the medium-term management plan period (from the fiscal year ending March 2027 to the fiscal year ending March 2031), awarding points linked to performance, and granting shares and cash equivalents to employees meeting certain requirements. The trust period is scheduled from August 3, 2026, to August 31, 2031, with trust funds approximately 2.82 billion yen.

System Structure and Future Outlook

The system involves acquiring shares from the stock market through a trustee, and distributing shares or cash to employees based on points. After the trust concludes, remaining shares may be transferred free of charge, with potential for either cancellation or continued use. Through the introduction of this system, the company aims to foster investment in human capital, achieve its medium-term management goals, and maximize corporate value through sustainable growth.
