Overview of Capital Policy

Japan Lifeline will dispose of 163,600 shares of treasury stock at 1,450 yen per share as part of its performance-linked stock compensation system introduced for executive remuneration. The disposal is scheduled for August 20, 2026, totaling approximately 237.22 million yen. The shares will be transferred to trust accounts, with shareholder dilution kept low at 0.23%. This disposal is related to the extension of the trust period of the system and is expected to have limited impact on the stock market.

Impact on Shareholders and Future Outlook

This share buyback results in a shareholder dilution rate of less than 25% and involves no change in controlling shareholders, therefore it will not significantly impact shareholder interests. The disposal price is based on market prices and is deemed reasonable by all members of the Audit and Supervisory Committee. The company plans to extend the trust period for the system and continues to aim for enhancing corporate value and medium- to long-term shareholder returns.
