Sankyo’s Share Buyback and Director Compensation System Introduction | June 2026

Overview of the Sale

Sankyo will sell 91,384 shares of treasury stock on July 22, 2026, raising approximately 153 million yen in total. This sale is part of an equity compensation scheme aimed at incentivizing directors, with the sale price set based on the closing market price. The shares will be subject to transfer restrictions and managed accordingly; they will be released from restrictions or acquired free of charge upon loss of director status or during organizational restructuring.

Details and Future Outlook of the Director Compensation System

This system allows directors to contribute monetary compensation claims as physical assets to acquire shares, which are restricted from transfer until the director loses their position. The transfer restrictions will be lifted if the director continues their role and certain conditions are met. The scheme aims to enhance directors' commitment to increasing corporate value and promote value sharing between shareholders and directors.
