and Purpose of Treasury Stock Acquisition\nThe Company is promoting a management approach focused on capital efficiency by formulating a capital allocation policy that advances growth investments and shareholder returns. In recent years, the Company has expanded its business through M&A transactions such as Rovio Entertainment Ltd. and Stakelogic B.V. However, in the third quarter financial results for the fiscal year ending March 2026, impairment losses on goodwill and intangible assets related to Rovio and a decline in profitability at Stakelogic were recognized. In response, the Company has decided to freeze large-scale M&A activities and reallocate funds by executing a treasury stock acquisition of 20 billion yen. The acquired treasury shares are planned to be cancelled.\n\n### Shareholder Return Policy and Impact\nThis treasury stock acquisition is part of a review of the capital allocation policy, with no change to the basic shareholder return policy or dividend forecast. The standard for shareholder returns is whichever amount is higher between a DOE of 3% or more, or a total payout ratio of 50% or more. The year-end dividend forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2026 is 28 yen per share, with a full-year dividend planned at 55 yen including the interim dividend. The total payout ratios were 51.5% for the fiscal year ending March 2025 and 63.3% for the fiscal year ending March 2024.","jir_financial_highlights":"Maximum Number of Shares to be Acquired: 12 million shares (Percentage of total issued shares: 5.71%)\nMaximum Total Acquisition Price: 20 billion yen (Not disclosed)\nAcquisition Period: From February 16, 2026, to July 31, 2026 (Not disclosed)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#SegaSammyHoldings, #TreasuryStockAcquisition, #CapitalPolicy, #ShareholderReturns","jir_key_figures":"Maximum Number of Shares for Treasury Stock Acquisition: 12 million shares (5.71% of total issued shares)\nMaximum Amount for Treasury Stock Acquisition: 20 billion yen\nAcquisition Period: From February 16, 2026, to July 31, 2026","jir_meta_title":"Sega Sammy Holdings Announces Treasury Stock Acquisition of 20 Billion Yen - Up to 12 Million Shares from February 16, 2026","jir_meta_description":"Sega Sammy Holdings has decided to acquire treasury stock of up to 12 million shares, capped at 20 billion yen, from February 16 to July 31, 2026.
