Under the current system, shareholders with 1,000 shares or more as of the record date at the end of June and who have held them continuously for one year or longer are eligible. After the change, shareholders with 1,000 shares or more and who have held them continuously for six months or longer will be eligible. The benefit content and the timing of the grant (early September each year) will not change.\n\n### Background and Impact\nThe company expressed appreciation for shareholder support and intends to shorten the continuous holding period so that more shareholders can use the benefits. The new system will be applied starting in fiscal 2025. The specific benefit is a discount on new car purchases, and the timing of grant remains in early September as before.","jir_financial_highlights":"Unknown: Unknown (Unknown)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#ShareholderBenefitChange, #ShareholderBenefitProgram, #GeneralIR","jir_key_figures":"Record date: End of June each year (notations regarding pre- and post-change conditions included)\nEligibility criteria: Current 1,000 shares or more, continuous holding of 1 year \u2192 After change 1,000 shares or more, continuous holding of 6 months or more\nGrant timing: Early September each year (no change)","jir_meta_title":"WILLPLUS Holdings Corporation: Change to Shareholder Benefit Eligibility\uff5cEffective Fiscal 2025","jir_meta_description":"WILLPLUS Holdings Corporation has revised the eligibility criteria for its shareholder benefit program.
