The acquisition targets common shares of the Company, with an upper limit of 9,600,000 shares and a total acquisition cost upper limit of \u00a524,000 million. The acquisition period is from July 4, 2025, to May 31, 2026. In January 2026, 598,600 shares were acquired at a cost of \u00a52,538,056,600, bringing the cumulative total to 5,177,300 shares acquired at a total cost of \u00a521,352,086,600. Acquisitions are made through market purchases on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.\n\n### Impact on Shareholders and Future Outlook\nThe ratio of treasury stock to total outstanding shares is capped at approximately 6.91% as a result of the treasury stock acquisition. Acquisitions are being carried out gradually through market purchases, aiming to enhance shareholder value. Since the acquisition period will continue until May 31, 2026, additional acquisitions are expected. These are anticipated to help suppress dilution and stabilize the stock price; however, close attention is required regarding cash flow trends due to the increasing total acquisition costs and number of shares.","jir_financial_highlights":"Total number of shares acquired (January 2026): 598,600 shares (Unknown)\nTotal acquisition cost (January 2026): \u00a52,538,056,600 (Unknown)\nCumulative total number of shares acquired (As of January 31, 2026): 5,177,300 shares (Unknown)\nCumulative total acquisition cost (As of January 31, 2026): \u00a521,352,086,600 (Unknown)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#KewpieCorporation, #TreasuryStockAcquisition, #CapitalPolicy, #JapaneseStocks","jir_key_figures":"Total number of shares acquired (January 2026): 598,600 shares\nTotal acquisition cost (January 2026): \u00a52,538,056,600\nCumulative total number of shares acquired (As of January 31, 2026): 5,177,300 shares","jir_meta_title":"Kewpie Corporation Acquires 598,600 Treasury Shares in January 2026, Reaching a Cumulative Total of 5,177,300 Shares","jir_meta_description":"Kewpie Corporation acquired 598,600 treasury shares in January 2026, bringing the cumulative total to 5,177,300 shares with a total acquisition cost of \u00a521,352,086,600.
