In response, our Board of Directors resolved to oppose the proposal, citing concerns that the substantial acquisition amount would limit growth investment opportunities, undermine the company\u2019s ability to adapt to business transformation, and weaken financial resilience.\n\n### Shareholder Return Policy and Financial Strategy\nOur company\u2019s fundamental policy is to maintain and continue stable dividends. For the fiscal year ending December 2025, a full-year dividend of 339 yen per share is planned, including a year-end dividend of 169.5 yen, representing a fifth consecutive year of dividend increases with a payout ratio of 87%. An increase to 363 yen is also planned for the fiscal year ending December 2026. Additionally, since 2021, we have continued treasury stock acquisition and cancellation, establishing a framework of 50 billion yen as of February 10, 2026, to facilitate agile acquisitions. We also place importance on securing funds for growth investment and risk management, aiming for a total return ratio of 50% as the lower reference threshold to promote shareholder returns.","jir_financial_highlights":"Treasury Stock Acquisition Framework (as of 2026-02-10): 50 billion yen (Newly established)\nFull-year Dividend for Fiscal Year Ending December 2025 (per share): 339 yen (30 yen increase YoY)\nFull-year Dividend for Fiscal Year Ending December 2026 (per share): 363 yen (Planned increase)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#ShimanoInc, #TreasuryStockAcquisition, #ShareholderProposal","jir_key_figures":"Total amount of treasury stock acquisition proposed by shareholder: 200 billion yen (proposal content)\nFull-year dividend for fiscal year ending December 2025: 339 yen (30 yen increase YoY)\nTreasury stock acquisition framework as of 2026-02-10: 50 billion yen","jir_meta_title":"Shimano Inc.
