Instead of the previous policy to acquire treasury stock equivalent to 30% of quarterly net income, the company will adopt a new policy to acquire treasury stock for the period from November 16, 2026 to March 31, 2027 with an upper limit of 6,000 million yen. Acquired treasury stock is planned to be allocated to shares delivered upon exercise of stock options; if such stock options are not exercised in the future, utilization or cancellation will be considered. Funds for the acquisitions will come from company funds, and current cash levels are expected to be 28,700 million yen.\n\n### Impact and Future Policy\nThe company will utilize treasury stock to mitigate dilution from stock options while maintaining financial soundness. Future treasury stock acquisitions will be carried out flexibly, taking into account performance, financial condition, share price, capital efficiency, and growth investment opportunities. Dividend policy will remain in line with the medium-term plan, targeting payout of 100% or more of Net Income Attributable to Owners of Parent, with a floor for dividends per share of 10 yen to maintain stable dividends.","jir_financial_highlights":"Acquisition Period: From November 16, 2026 to March 31, 2027 (New Policy)\nTreasury Stock Acquisition Cap: 6,000 million yen (New Policy)\nSource of Funds: Company funds (Continued)\nCash and Cash Equivalents: 28,700 million yen (Expected to remain unchanged)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#UTGroup, #TreasuryStockAcquisition, #StockOptions, #EquityCompensation, #CapitalPolicy","jir_key_figures":"Acquisition Period: From November 16, 2026 to March 31, 2027\nAcquisition Cap: 6,000 million yen\nCash and Cash Equivalents: 28,700 million yen\nDisposition to Trust Account already executed (26,451,100 shares) \u203bRefers to disposition-related information in the main text\nDividend Policy: Payout ratio of 100% or more of Net Income Attributable to Owners of Parent, minimum 10 yen","jir_meta_title":"UT Group Co.,Ltd.
