The total number of shares acquired was 2,892,900 shares, with a purchase amount of 3,921,680,000 yen, executed without changes from the previously set upper limit in August 2025. In the resolution at the board of directors in August 2025, it was planned to acquire up to 1,100,000 shares (up to 5 billion yen), but due to the impact of a stock split, the upper limit was expanded to 4,400,000 shares.\n\n### Impact on Shareholders and Future Outlook\nThis share buyback is believed to be a measure to prevent share dilution and to enhance shareholder returns. The acquisition was carried out via market purchase, and there is a possibility of continuing capital policies aimed at improving shareholder value. Details on future plans or additional acquisitions have not been disclosed, but it is presumed that the company aims to improve capital efficiency and stabilize the stock price.","jir_financial_highlights":"Total number of shares acquired: 2,892,900 shares (Unknown)\nTotal purchase price: 3,921,681,600 yen (Unknown)\nAcquisition period: April 1, 2026 \u2013 April 30, 2026 (Unknown)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#ShowaBondHoldings, #ShareBuyback, #JapaneseStocks","jir_key_figures":"Total number of shares acquired: 2,892,900 shares\nTotal purchase price: 3,921,681,600 yen\nAcquisition period: April 1, 2026 \u2013 April 30, 2026","jir_meta_title":"\u3010Showa Bond Holdings\u3011Share Buyback Status | May 2026","jir_meta_description":"Showa Bond Holdings conducted a share buyback in April 2026, acquiring a total of 2,892,900 shares and 3,921,680,000 yen.
