shareholders listed in the shareholder registry as of March 31, 2026. The main change is replacing the conventional 500 yen discount vouchers (Benefit B) with S Point grants based on purchase amounts at the Group\u2019s food supermarkets. The S Point grant rate ranges from 3% to 7% depending on the number of shares held, and long-term holding benefits have been expanded. The criteria for long-term holding under Benefit A have also been relaxed, and there is no change to Benefit C 'rice'.\n\n### Impact on Shareholders and Implementation Timing\nThe revised benefit program targets shareholders holding 100 shares or more, maintaining the option to choose among Benefits A to C. S Points will be granted based on purchase amounts at eligible stores, aggregated over 6-month periods, with grants made two months after the end of the applicable period. The long-term holding benefits provide an additional point granting rate for shareholders holding shares continuously for over three years and grant fixed points. This aims to encourage medium- to long-term shareholding and increase usage at food supermarkets.","jir_financial_highlights":"Shareholder Benefit Discount Voucher (Benefit B): Four 500 yen discount vouchers (for 100 shares or more) (Changed to S Point grants (3% to 7%))\nLong-term Holding Benefits: For 100 shares or more held for over 3 years, point granting rate increased by 1%; for 1,000 shares or more, 2,000 points granted twice annually (Introduced long-term holding benefits for Benefit B and relaxed criteria for Benefit A)\nPoint Grant Eligible Period: 6 months (6\/1 to 11\/30, 12\/1 to next 5\/31) (Newly established)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#H2ORetailing, #ShareholderBenefitProgramChange, #general_ir","jir_key_figures":"500 yen discount voucher (Benefit B) \u2192 Changed to S Point grants (3% to 7%)\nLong-term holding benefit: Additional 1% point granting rate for holding 100 shares or more over 3 years\nLong-term holding benefit: 2,000 points granted twice yearly for holding 1,000 shares or more","jir_meta_title":"H2O Retailing Changes Shareholder Benefit Program to S Point Grants and Expands Long-term Holding Benefits","jir_meta_description":"H2O Retailing Corporation will change shareholder benefit discount vouchers to S Point grants based on purchases at food supermarkets from March 31, 2026, and newly establish and expand long-term holding benefits.","jir_og_title":"H2O Retailing Announces Partial Change to Shareholder Benefit Program","jir_og_description":"Changed shareholder benefit discount vouchers to S Point grants and expanded long-term holding benefits.
