The scheme involves acquiring shares through a trust and granting them to officers, providing shares or cash upon retirement. The targets include directors (excluding outside and part-time directors) and executive officers, with a trust period planned for continuous operation. Through point grants and transfer restriction agreements, the scheme aims to promote long-term corporate value enhancement and value sharing with shareholders.\n\n### Future Outlook and Impact on Shareholders\nThe introduction of the new scheme is expected to incentivize officers toward the medium- to long-term increase in corporate value. The existing stock compensation framework will be abolished, aiming to improve transparency and fairness. Details will be finalized after shareholder approval, and depending on the share grants and transfer restriction conditions, the scheme seeks to mitigate shareholder dilution while strengthening performance linkage of officers.","jir_financial_highlights":"","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#Yakult, #IRSystemRevision, #JapanStocks","jir_key_figures":"Points grant limit: 350,000 points per fiscal year\nEstimated shares to be acquired at trust setup: approximately 1,750,000 shares (based on closing price on May 11, 2026)\nEstimated required funds: approximately 5,085 million yen (based on closing price on May 11, 2026)","jir_meta_title":"\u3010Yakult\u3011 Revision of Stock Compensation Plan \uff5c May 2026","jir_meta_description":"Yakult plans to revise its stock compensation scheme for officers at the June 2026 shareholders\u2019 meeting and introduce a long-term incentive through a trust.
