On August 3, 2026, 1,142,196 shares will be disposed of at a price of 3,438 yen per share, totaling approximately \u00a53.93 billion. This disposal is part of stock delivery related to the RSU system and is a measure taken upon rights vesting. Some of the disposed shares will be allocated to directors and employees, aiming to enhance corporate performance and motivate participants. \n\n### Impact on Shareholders and Future Outlook\nThis share buyback is conducted as part of the company's capital policy, involving fund raising and potential dilution of shares. The total number of shares outstanding and shareholder ownership ratios will change due to the disposal, though the exact dilution rate is unknown. Sony Group will continue to promote performance-linked compensation through the RSU system for employees and executives, aiming for long-term corporate value enhancement.
