increase compared to the previous year. The company will execute a capital policy combining share buyback and market purchase amounting to up to approximately 300 billion yen, aiming to enhance shareholder returns and improve capital efficiency. The purchase period is from May 13, 2026, to January 31, 2027, with a planned maximum of approximately 17 million shares. The purchase price is set at 2,325 yen, approximately 10% discount from the market average, to suppress stock dilution and maintain financial soundness.\n\n### Impact on Shareholders and Future Outlook\nThis share buyback and market purchase will reduce the number of shares outstanding, aiming to increase shareholder value and improve capital efficiency. In response to offers of share sales from Kyocera and Toyota Motor Corporation, the company will maintain good relationships while continuing to acquire treasury stock from the market.
