During the period from December 1 to December 31, 2025, 2,750,700 shares of common stock were acquired for a total of 9,332,486,147 yen. The acquisition method was market purchase on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, with an acquisition limit set at 30 million shares and 80 billion yen, and the period set from December 1, 2025 to November 30, 2026. All acquired treasury shares are scheduled to be canceled by board resolution.\n\n### Impact on Shareholders and Outlook\nThe current treasury stock acquisition corresponds to approximately 3.09% of the total number of issued shares (excluding treasury stock) and aims to enhance shareholder value. The number of shares acquired and the acquisition price may fluctuate depending on future market conditions, but the company intends to continue acquiring treasury stock through market purchases. Since all acquired treasury shares will be canceled, this is expected to suppress dilution and improve per-share indicators.","jir_financial_highlights":"Total Number of Shares Acquired: 2,750,700 shares (Unknown)\nTotal Purchase Price of Shares Acquired: 9,332,486,147 yen (Unknown)\nType of Shares Acquired: Common Stock (Unknown)\nAcquisition Period: From December 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025 (Unknown)\nAcquisition Limit by Board Resolution (Number of Shares): 30 million shares (Unknown)\nAcquisition Limit by Board Resolution (Amount): 80 billion yen (Unknown)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#AjinomotoCoInc, #TreasuryStockAcquisition, #JapaneseStocks","jir_key_figures":"Total Number of Shares Acquired: 2,750,700 shares (as of December 31, 2025)\nTotal Purchase Price of Shares Acquired: 9,332,486,147 yen (as of December 31, 2025)\nAcquisition Limit (Number of Shares): 30 million shares (by board resolution)","jir_meta_title":"Ajinomoto Co., Inc.
