Company, Ltd. will continue its acquisition defense measures effective until the shareholders\u2019 meeting in May 2026, implementing a new plan with approval conditions that stipulate information provision and a consideration period for large-scale share purchases.","jir_summary":"### Continuation and Purpose of Acquisition Defense Measures\nArcs Company, Ltd. has decided to continue its policy regarding large-scale purchase of shares (acquisition defense measures), introduced in 2008, until the conclusion of the shareholders\u2019 meeting in May 2026, and has formulated a new plan including some terminology changes. This plan aims to protect corporate value and the shared interests of shareholders by preventing management control by inappropriate purchasers and ensuring an environment where shareholders can make informed decisions with sufficient information and time.\n\n### Large-Scale Purchase Rules and Response Framework\nUnder this plan, large-scale purchasers are required to submit a prior statement of intent, provide necessary information, and a maximum 90-day evaluation and consideration period is set by the Board of Directors. An independent committee is established to ensure fair and neutral judgment. In case of rule violations, countermeasures such as free allotment of stock acquisition rights can be taken. A shareholders\u2019 meeting to confirm shareholder intention will also be held to reflect shareholder voices.\n\n### Efforts to Enhance Corporate Value and Strengthen Governance\nThe Company operates primarily in the food supermarket business as a regional lifeline, aiming to maximize group synergies through the management of the Yatsugatake mountain range. It promotes a medium-term management plan to realize its management philosophy and focuses on strengthening group governance. These efforts form the foundation supporting the rationality of the acquisition defense measures.\n\n### Validity Period and Review of the Plan\nThis plan will be valid until May 31, 2029, after approval at the 2026 shareholders\u2019 meeting, and can be abolished or amended by resolutions of the shareholders\u2019 meeting or Board of Directors. The plan will be reviewed as necessary in response to changes in laws, regulations, and market environment with the aim of protecting shareholder interests.","jir_financial_highlights":"Authorized Shares: 200,000,000 shares (Unknown)\nTotal Issued Shares: 57,649,868 shares (including 4,367,635 treasury shares) (Unknown)\nMajor Shareholders\u2019 Ownership Ratio (Officers and Related Parties): Approximately 19.1% (Unknown)\nValidity Period of Acquisition Defense Measures: Until May 31, 2029 (planned) (Continued)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#ArcsCompanyLtd, #TenderOffer, #AcquisitionDefenseMeasures","jir_key_figures":"Authorized Shares: 200,000,000 shares\nTotal Issued Shares: 57,649,868 shares (including 4,367,635 treasury shares)\nOfficers and Related Parties Ownership Ratio: Approximately 19.1%","jir_meta_title":"\u3010Arcs Company, Ltd.\u3011Decision to Continue Acquisition Defense Measures\uff5cApril 2026","jir_meta_description":"Arcs Company, Ltd. will continue acquisition defense measures until the May 2026 shareholders\u2019 meeting and implement a new plan with approval conditions to ensure information provision and consideration period for large-scale purchase events.","jir_og_title":"\u3010Arcs Company, Ltd.\u3011Decision to Continue Acquisition Defense Measures\uff5cApril 2026","jir_og_description":"Arcs has formulated a new plan to respond to large-scale purchase activities, striving to protect shareholder interests.
