The acquisition target is common shares, up to 7.9 million shares, equivalent to 3.00% of total outstanding shares excluding treasury stock, with an acquisition amount capped at 10 billion yen. The acquisition period is scheduled from January 19, 2026, to March 31, 2026. The share buyback is based on the judgment that the stock price is undervalued and offers a more attractive investment compared to M&A. The acquired shares will not be cancelled but retained as part of the growth strategy investment.\n\n### Impact on Shareholders and Future Outlook\nThis share buyback has an upper limit of 3.00% of total outstanding shares, aiming to improve shareholder value. The acquisition is expected to provide temporary price support and enhance EPS; however, since the shares will not be cancelled, no dilution will occur. The company continues to position M&A as a core pillar of its growth strategy and will pursue attractive investment opportunities while maintaining financial soundness.","jir_financial_highlights":"Type of shares to be acquired: Common shares (Unknown)\nMaximum number of shares to be acquired: 7.9 million shares (upper limit) (3.00% of total outstanding shares)\nTotal acquisition price of shares: 10 billion yen (upper limit) (Unknown)\nAcquisition period: 2026-01-19 to 2026-03-31 (Unknown)\nTotal outstanding shares (excluding treasury stock): 263,285,170 shares (Unknown)\nNumber of treasury stock: 4,215,500 shares (Unknown)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#SHIFTCorporation, #ShareBuyback, #CapitalPolicy, #JapaneseStocks","jir_key_figures":"Maximum number of shares to be acquired: 7.9 million shares (3.00% of total outstanding shares)\nMaximum acquisition amount: 10 billion yen\nAcquisition period: 2026-01-19 to 2026-03-31","jir_meta_title":"SHIFT Corporation Decides on Share Buyback of up to 10 Billion Yen and 7.9 Million Shares (January 2026)","jir_meta_description":"SHIFT Corporation announced a share buyback plan for up to 7.9 million shares, equivalent to 3.00% of outstanding shares, with a maximum total acquisition amount of 10 billion yen, scheduled from January 19 to March 31, 2026.","jir_og_title":"SHIFT Corporation Decides on Share Buyback (Up to 10 Billion Yen \/ 3%)","jir_og_description":"As part of its growth strategy, SHIFT Corporation will conduct a share buyback of up to 10 billion yen and 3% of outstanding shares from January 19 to March 31, 2026.","jir_og_image_url":"\/assets\/og\/company-general_ir.jpg","jir_chart_data_collection":"[]","ir_related_company":8758,"ir_release_date":"","ir_type":"","ir_is_new":false,"ir_document_url":"","jir_ir_type":"share_buyback","footnotes":""},"sector":[],"importance":[],"class_list":["post-19147","ir_release","type-ir_release","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\n
