Purpose of Introducing the Stock-Grant ESOP Trust\nNippon Paint Specialty Co., Ltd. aims for sustainable growth and medium- to long-term corporate value enhancement based on its five-year medium-term management plan starting fiscal 2026. Positioning employees as the source of value creation, and promoting capital efficiency improvement and optimal allocation of management resources, this system will provide employees with incentives linked to achievement of performance targets and corporate value enhancement, thereby fostering a shared awareness of value enhancement from the shareholders' perspective.\n\n### System Mechanism and Future Developments\nThis system establishes stock-grant regulations by board resolution and allocates 440 million yen to an ESOP trust with eligible employees as beneficiaries. The trust acquires treasury stock, with dividends and voting rights exercised according to instructions from the trust administrator. Eligible employees receive annual points, which after the medium-term management plan completion are converted into shares or cash equivalent based on performance achievement. Residual shares upon trust termination will be gratuitously transferred and then retired, with remaining assets reverting to the company. The system will start on March 5, 2026, with a trust period planned until October 31, 2030.","jir_financial_highlights":"Trust Amount: 440 million yen (Unknown)\nTrust Contract Date: 2026-03-05 (Unknown)\nTrust Period: 2026-03-05 to 2030-10-31 (planned) (Unknown)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#NipponPaintSpecialty, #StockOption, #ESOPTrust","jir_key_figures":"Trust Amount: 440 million yen (including trust fees and expenses)\nTrust Contract Date: 2026-03-05\nTrust Period: 2026-03-05 to 2030-10-31 (planned)","jir_meta_title":"Nippon Paint Specialty Introduces 440 Million Yen Stock-Grant ESOP Trust to Strengthen Employee Incentives","jir_meta_description":"Nippon Paint Specialty Co., Ltd. will launch a 440 million yen scale stock-grant ESOP trust from March 5, 2026.
