April 1, 2026, to strengthen the linkage between employee treatment and stock price\/financial performance, sharing economic benefits with shareholders. In addition to the current J-ESOP program, this system unifies the timing of grant during employment and imposes transfer restrictions to promote employees\u2019 medium- to long-term engagement in management.\n\n### Overview and Mechanism of the J-ESOP-RS Program\nThe J-ESOP-RS program is a trust-type scheme with Mizuho Trust & Banking as trustee, granting points to employees and awarding restricted shares to beneficiaries meeting certain conditions. Employees enter into transfer restriction agreements while employed, restricting transfer of shares until retirement. Trust assets are managed separately, and voting rights are exercised according to instructions from the trust administrator. The program operates continuously by utilizing existing trust agreements.","jir_financial_highlights":"Introduction Date: 2026-04-01 (New Introduction)\nTrust Agreement Date: 2014-08-06 (Utilization of Existing Trust)\nRestriction Period: Until Retirement (New Setting)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#ZenkokuHoshoCoLtd, #StockGrantTrust, #StockOption, #IncentivePlan, #JapaneseStocks","jir_key_figures":"Introduction Date: 2026-04-01\nTrust Agreement Date: 2014-08-06\nRestriction Period: Until Retirement","jir_meta_title":"Zenkoku Hosho Co., Ltd. to Introduce Restricted Stock Grant Trust (J-ESOP-RS) from April 1, 2026","jir_meta_description":"Zenkoku Hosho Co., Ltd. will newly introduce the restricted stock grant trust system (J-ESOP-RS) from April 1, 2026, aiming to enhance employees\u2019 economic benefits and improve corporate value.","jir_og_title":"Zenkoku Hosho Establishes New Employee Stock Grant Trust Program","jir_og_description":"From April 1, 2026, the J-ESOP-RS program will be introduced to grant restricted shares to employees, aiming to enhance corporate value.","jir_og_image_url":"\/assets\/og\/company-general_ir.jpg","jir_chart_data_collection":"[]","ir_related_company":7956,"ir_release_date":"","ir_type":"","ir_is_new":false,"ir_document_url":"","jir_ir_type":"stock_option","footnotes":""},"sector":[],"importance":[],"class_list":["post-34968","ir_release","type-ir_release","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.7 -
