the ESOP Trust\nObayashi Corporation will implement a stock grant ESOP trust aimed at strengthening the managerial layer and enhancing employee engagement for sustainable growth. This initiative is intended to boost the medium- to long-term performance and share price awareness of targeted managers, thereby driving corporate value enhancement. It is part of reforms including the review of the conventional seniority-based HR system, tightening promotion requirements, and reforming the compensation structure.\n\n### Overview and Mechanism of the ESOP Trust\nThe ESOP trust is a trust-type employee incentive plan whereby the company allocates funds to acquire its own shares from the stock market and grants shares or cash equivalent based on performance and service conditions to target managers. The trust period is planned from July 27, 2026 to July 27, 2029, with a total acquisition amount of 5,634 million yen. At the conclusion of the trust, the company will consider cancelling any remaining shares or continuing their use, and any residual assets will belong to the company within the scope of trust expense reserves.","jir_financial_highlights":"Total Amount of Shares to Be Acquired: 5,634 million yen (planned) (Unknown)\nTrust Contract Date: July 27, 2026 (planned) (Unknown)\nTrust Period: July 27, 2026 \u2013 July 27, 2029 (planned) (Unknown)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#ObayashiCorporation, #StockOption, #ESOPTrust","jir_key_figures":"Total Amount of Shares to Be Acquired: 5,634 million yen (planned)\nTrust Contract Date: July 27, 2026 (planned)\nTrust Period: July 27, 2026 \u2013 July 27, 2029 (planned)","jir_meta_title":"Obayashi Corporation to Introduce Stock Grant ESOP Trust Worth 5,634 Million Yen for Targeted Managers","jir_meta_description":"Obayashi Corporation plans to introduce a stock grant ESOP trust for targeted managerial positions starting April 2026.
