The target is common stock, with cumulative shares acquired of 651,700 shares and total acquisition amount of 149,739,100 yen. The acquisition period is from August 10 to August 31, 2026, with market purchases on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. In addition, the board resolution announced on the same day sets the buyback limit at 5,000,000 shares (0.8% of issued shares) and a total amount of 671 million yen.\n\n### Background and impact\nThis disclosure is made in line with the obligation to periodically disclose the status of share buybacks based on the board resolution, suggesting an intent to enhance shareholder value and limit dilution as part of shareholder returns. The actual amount vs. upper limit discrepancy is currently unknown (actual 149 million yen vs. limit 671 million yen), but future buyback progress could affect shareholder value.","jir_financial_highlights":"Total number of acquired shares: 651,700 shares (Unknown)\nTotal acquisition value: 149,739,100 yen (Unknown)\nAcquisition period: August 10, 2026\uff5eAugust 31, 2026 (Unknown)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#UTGroup, #ShareBuyback","jir_key_figures":"Total number of acquired shares: 651,700 shares\nTotal acquisition value: 149,739,100 yen\nAcquisition period: August 10, 2026\uff5eAugust 31, 2026","jir_meta_title":"UT Group share buyback status disclosed | August 2026","jir_meta_description":"UT Group discloses the share buyback status for August 2026.
