Starting with the shareholder benefits for the fiscal year ending September 2026, the existing 30% discount purchase benefit for the mail-order catalog (Celestyle) will be discontinued. Instead, the benefit amount for shareholders holding 200 to 599 shares with less than 5 years of ownership will be increased. Furthermore, from the fiscal year ending March 2027, discount campaign codes applicable to our online shop will be distributed. These changes aim to improve shareholder convenience and promote a deeper understanding of the Gunze Group.\n\n### Impact on Shareholders and Application Timing\nThe revised shareholder benefit program will apply to shareholders recorded or listed in the shareholder register with the record date of September 30, 2026. The shareholder benefits based on the March 31, 2026 record date will be provided under the current program. Benefits will be adjusted according to the number of shares held and the holding period, with an emphasis on enhancing mid-term benefits through online shop coupons and company product gifts. This is expected to strengthen incentives for long-term shareholder retention.","jir_financial_highlights":"Discount purchases via mail-order catalog: Discontinued (Discontinued from the fiscal year ending September 2026)\nBenefit amount for shareholders holding 200 to 599 shares with less than 5 years of ownership: Increased (Increased from the fiscal year ending September 2026)\nProvision of discount campaign codes for the online shop: Started (Started from the fiscal year ending March 2027)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#GunzeLimited, #ShareholderBenefitProgramChanges, #general_ir, #JapaneseStocks","jir_key_figures":"Discontinuation of discount purchases via mail-order catalog: From fiscal year ending September 2026\nIncrease in benefit amount for shareholders holding 200 to 599 shares with less than 5 years of ownership: From fiscal year ending September 2026\nStart of provision of discount campaign codes for online shop: From fiscal year ending March 2027","jir_meta_title":"Gunze Limited Partially Revises Shareholder Benefit Program and Increases Benefit Amount from Fiscal Year Ending September 2026","jir_meta_description":"Gunze Limited will revise its shareholder benefit program from the fiscal year ending September 2026 by discontinuing discount purchases via mail-order catalog.
