Abolishing the Shareholder Benefit Program\nSoft99 Corporation has aimed to express gratitude to its shareholders and promote its products and services through the shareholder benefit program. However, due to a recent decline in individual shareholders reflecting changes in shareholder composition, the company has determined that the program no longer produces effects aligned with its objectives. Therefore, it resolved to abolish the shareholder benefit program effective March 31, 2026.\n\n### Impact on Shareholders and Future Measures\nShareholders recorded in the shareholder registry as of March 31, 2025 will receive the final shareholder benefits delivered between July and September 2025. However, shareholder benefits will not be provided based on the March 31, 2026 record date. With the abolition of the shareholder benefit program, future review of shareholder return measures is anticipated, but no specific alternative initiatives have been disclosed.","jir_financial_highlights":"Timing of Shareholder Benefit Program Abolition: March 31, 2026 (Abolition Decided)\nFinal Benefit Delivery Period: Delivered during July-September 2025 (Final Implementation)\nRecord Date for Eligible Shareholders: March 31, 2025 (Unknown)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#Soft99Corporation, #ShareholderBenefitAbolition, #GeneralIR","jir_key_figures":"Shareholder Benefit Program Abolition Date: March 31, 2026\nFinal Benefit Delivery Period: Delivered during July-September 2025\nRecord Date for Eligible Shareholders: March 31, 2025","jir_meta_title":"Soft99 Corporation Decides to Abolish Shareholder Benefit Program in March 2026","jir_meta_description":"Soft99 Corporation announced the abolition of its shareholder benefit program effective March 31, 2026, with the last benefits dispatched during July-September 2025.
