[Inotech] Share Buyback and Introduction of Employee Stock-Based Compensation System | July 2026

Overview of Capital Policy

Inotech has introduced a restricted stock-based compensation system for employees to enhance employee benefits and corporate value. On October 30, 2026, it will dispose of 7,400 shares of treasury stock at 3,330 yen per share. The disposal has been reported in accordance with the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act through an extraordinary report, with 18 eligible employees. The transfer restriction period is five years, with provisions for treatment upon resignation or organizational restructuring, promoting transparency and long-term value sharing with employees.

Impact on Employees and Future Outlook

Under this system, employees will acquire shares through in-kind contribution, with transfers and collateralization restricted during the transfer restriction period. Upon resignation or organizational restructuring, shares will be解除ed or obtained free of charge, fostering long-term value sharing between the company and employees. The current disposal does not dilute shareholder value and aims to enhance employee incentives and support sustainable corporate growth.
