Shareholders holding 400 shares or more continuously for over 3 years will be awarded minapita points. From March 31, 2028, the current shareholder benefits will be revised by adding a continuous holding requirement of over 1 year, subdividing the ride count of shareholder benefit tickets, and implementing a ticket system leveraging electronic QR codes.\n\n### Future Outlook and Considerations\nSince the railway business will be spun off and the company name changed to NANKAI Co., Ltd. on April 1, 2026, a review of shareholder benefits from March 31, 2028, onwards is under consideration. Specific plans include digitizing commuter pass-type tickets with electronic QR codes, expanding the area available for airport line use, introducing selectable shareholder benefits (choice among railway ride tickets, minapita points, or a WEB catalog), and digitizing shareholder benefit award methods. Details will be announced once finalized.","jir_financial_highlights":"Introduction of Long-term Shareholder Benefits Program: Effective from March 31, 2027 (Commencement of minapita points awarding for shareholders holding 400 shares or more)\nMinapita Points Awarded: 500 points for 400 shares or more, 1,000 points for 1,000 shares or more, 1,500 points for 6,160 shares or more (Newly established)\nAddition of Continuous Holding Requirement: Effective from March 31, 2028 (Continuous holding for over 1 year added as a condition for benefits)\nChange in Shareholder Benefits Award Criteria: Scheduled for March 31, 2028 (Subdivision of ride count and introduction of electronic QR code)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#NankaiElectricRailwayCoLtd, #ShareholderBenefitsProgramChange, #JapaneseStocks","jir_key_figures":"Effective Date of Long-term Shareholder Benefits Program: March 31, 2027\nMinapita Points Awarded: 500 points for 400 shares or more, 1,000 points for 1,000 shares or more, 1,500 points for 6,160 shares or more\nEffective Date for Addition of Continuous Holding Requirement: March 31, 2028","jir_meta_title":"Nankai Electric Railway to Introduce Long-term Shareholder Benefits Program in 2027 and Change Benefit Criteria in 2028","jir_meta_description":"Nankai Electric Railway Co., Ltd. will introduce a long-term shareholder benefits program awarding minapita points from March 31, 2027.
