The new goal is to reduce approximately 5.3 billion yen (about 40%) on a book value basis compared to the end of March 2023 by the end of fiscal 2026 (March 2027). The previous target was approximately 3.7 billion yen (about 30%), but the target was raised with the aim of strengthening governance and improving capital efficiency.\n\n### Future Policy and Engagement with Shareholders and Business Partners\nThe Bank plans to proceed with reductions by reviewing the rationale for holding shares of each individual stock in accordance with the Corporate Governance Code. It will continue to engage in careful dialogue with business partners whose shares it holds as strategic shareholdings and will strive to maintain and strengthen trust even after the reduction. Additionally, details on the transition and targets for strategic shareholding reduction are also provided within the document.","jir_financial_highlights":"Target for Reduction of Strategic Shareholdings (Book Value Basis): Approximately 5.3 billion yen (Around 40% reduction from the end of March 2023 (Previous target approx. 3.7 billion yen, approx. 30%, increased))\nTarget Reduction Deadline: End of fiscal 2026 (March 2027) (Unknown)\nRatio of Strategic Shareholdings (Book Value Basis): Target to reduce by about 40% compared to the end of March 2023 (Unknown)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#OitaBank, #CapitalPolicy, #StrategicShareholdings","jir_key_figures":"Target for Reduction of Strategic Shareholdings (Book Value Basis): Approximately 5.3 billion yen (about 40% reduction)\nPrevious Target (Book Value Basis): Approximately 3.7 billion yen (about 30% reduction)\nTarget Reduction Deadline: End of fiscal 2026 (March 2027)","jir_meta_title":"The Oita Bank Raises Target for Reduction of Strategic Shareholdings to Approximately 5.3 Billion Yen and 40%","jir_meta_description":"The Oita Bank has revised its target to reduce strategic shareholdings by approximately 40%, or about 5.3 billion yen on a book value basis compared to the end of March 2023, by the end of fiscal 2026.
