of the shareholder benefits program to additionally grant a 3,000 yen Visa gift card to shareholders holding 500 shares or more continuously for over one year as of March 31, 2026.","jir_summary":"### Overview of Changes (Expansion) to the Shareholder Benefits Program\nHokuto Corporation resolved at the Board of Directors meeting held on February 13, 2026, to expand the shareholder benefits program. Previously, shareholders holding 100 shares or more were eligible to receive health care sets and other benefit items. Under the revised program, shareholders who continuously hold 500 shares or more for over one year will additionally receive a 3,000 yen Visa gift card. Benefit item selections remain the same, allowing shareholders to choose one option from health care sets, retort pouch sets, or mushroom & retort pouch sets.\n\n### Impact on Shareholders and Implementation Timing\nThis change will apply to shareholders recorded in the shareholder registry as of March 31, 2026. The continuous holding period condition requires that the shareholder holds 500 shares or more under the same shareholder number in the shareholder registries for the three most recent record dates including the reference date. The Visa gift card is a prepaid card usable at domestic and international Visa-affiliated stores, valid for two years from issuance. This enhancement is expected to strengthen incentives for long-term shareholders and promote stable shareholding.","jir_financial_highlights":"Eligible Shares: 500 shares or more (New eligibility criteria)\nVisa Gift Card Amount: 3,000 yen (New introduction)\nBenefit Application Start Date: As of March 31, 2026 (Start of revised program)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#HokutoCorporation, #ShareholderBenefitsProgram, #GeneralIR, #JapaneseStocks","jir_key_figures":"Shareholding requirement for eligible shareholders: 500 shares or more (continuous holding for over one year)\nVisa gift card grant amount: 3,000 yen (applicable to shareholders with continuous holding over one year)\nChange effective date: From shareholder registry as of March 31, 2026","jir_meta_title":"Hokuto Corporation Expands Shareholder Benefits Program, Introduces 3,000 Yen Visa Gift Card for Shareholders Holding 500 Shares or More","jir_meta_description":"Hokuto Corporation announced the expansion of its shareholder benefits program to additionally grant a 3,000 yen Visa gift card to shareholders continuously holding 500 shares or more for over one year as of March 31, 2026.","jir_og_title":"Hokuto Corporation Expands Shareholder Benefits Program with New Perk for Shareholders Holding 500 Shares or More","jir_og_description":"Announcement of changes to the benefits program granting a 3,000 yen Visa gift card to shareholders holding 500 shares or more continuously for over one year as of March 31, 2026.","jir_og_image_url":"\/assets\/og\/company-general_ir.jpg","jir_chart_data_collection":"[]","ir_related_company":17062,"ir_release_date":"","ir_type":"","ir_is_new":false,"ir_document_url":"","jir_ir_type":"general_ir","footnotes":""},"sector":[],"importance":[],"class_list":["post-29205","ir_release","type-ir_release","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\n
