The scheduled cancellation date is June 30, 2026, and the shares to be canceled are common stock. The number of shares to be canceled is 9,700,000, resulting in total issued shares of 40,242,221. The company\u2019s policy regarding treasury stock is to limit holdings to approximately 5% of total issued shares, with any excess treasury stock typically being canceled.\n\n### Impact on Shareholders and Future Outlook\nThis share buyback and cancellation will suppress potential dilution, enhancing shareholder value.
