decided at the Board of Directors meeting to cancel 1,875,500 shares of common stock (2.0% of total issued shares). The cancellation will be implemented on May 15, 2026, resulting in a total issued shares of 92,303,304. The share buyback aims to enhance shareholder value and improve capital efficiency.\n\n### Future Outlook and Impact on Shareholders\nThis share buyback is expected to limit share dilution and increase value per share. The number of shares after cancellation will decrease, likely maintaining or increasing shareholders' ownership ratio. As part of the capital policy, this is positioned as one of the shareholder returns measures.","jir_financial_highlights":"Number of Shares to be Cancelled: 1,875,500 shares (Percentage of total issued shares before cancellation 2.0%)\nTotal Issued Shares After Cancellation: 92,303,304 shares (Unknown)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#OkinawaCellularTelephone, #ShareBuyback, #JapanStocks","jir_key_figures":"Number of Shares to be Cancelled: 1,875,500 shares\nTotal Issued Shares Before Cancellation: Unknown\nTotal Issued Shares After Cancellation: 92,303,304 shares","jir_meta_title":"\u3010Okinawa Cellular\u3011 Announcement of Share Buyback | May 15, 2026","jir_meta_description":"Okinawa Cellular Telephone resolved to cancel 1,875,500 shares of common stock on May 15, 2026.
