The split will convert 1 share into 2 shares. Total issued shares before the split are 1,022,298,636 shares and after the split will be 2,044,597,272 shares. Concurrently, a partial amendment to the Articles of Incorporation will change the total number of authorized shares from the current 4,170,000,000 shares to 8,000,000,000 shares. The record date and effective date are March 12, 2027 and April 1, 2027, respectively.\n\n### Impact on Shareholders and Outlook\nThe stock split is expected to lower the investment unit and may alleviate shareholders' dilution concerns. Regarding dividends, because the split effective date is April 1, 2027, the fiscal year-end dividend for the fiscal year ending March 2027 will be paid based on the number of shares before the split.","jir_financial_highlights":"Stock split ratio: 2 shares for each 1 share (Unknown)\nTotal shares outstanding (pre-split): 1,022,298,636 shares (Increase due to split)\nTotal shares outstanding (post-split): 2,044,597,272 shares (After split implementation)\nTotal authorized shares: 80 hundred million yen (Increase from current 41 hundred million 7 thousand yen)\nRecord date: March 12, 2027 (Newly established)\nEffective date: April 1, 2027 (Newly established)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#StockSplit, #CapitalPolicy, #ArticlesAmendment","jir_key_figures":"Split ratio: 2 shares for each 1 share\nTotal shares outstanding before the split: 1,022,298,636 shares\nTotal shares outstanding after the split: 2,044,597,272 shares","jir_meta_title":"Stock Split and Articles Amendment \u2014 Lowering Investment Unit\uff5cImplementation April 2027","jir_meta_description":"Announcing a stock split to increase total issued shares to 2,044,597,272 shares and raise total authorized shares to 8,000,000,000 shares.
