directors and executive officers. The issue price was 790 yen per share, totaling 10,586,000 yen. The issuance took place on August 20, 2026, and targeted 4 directors and 9 executive officers. The purpose of the program is to contribute to long-term corporate value enhancement and stabilization of management. The transfer restrictions are set for 30 years (for directors) and 3 years (for executive officers), with mechanisms for free acquisition or release upon resignation or specific reasons.\n\n### Impact on Shareholders and Future Outlook\nThe issuance of new shares was conducted as part of executive compensation measures, and the dilution effect is expected to be limited. The program aims to promote long-term commitment from directors and improve corporate value. Going forward, the company will continue to manage the stock-based compensation appropriately based on the program\u2019s operation status and directors\u2019 performance, with the goal of maximizing shareholder value.","jir_financial_highlights":"Number of Shares Issued: 13,400 shares (Unknown)\nTotal Amount of Issue: 10,586,000 yen (Unknown)\nIssue Price: 790 yen (Unknown)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#NihonKnowledge, #IRRelated, #JapaneseStocks","jir_key_figures":"Number of Shares Issued: 13,400 shares\nTotal Issue Amount: 10,586,000 yen\nIssue Price: 790 yen","jir_meta_title":"[Nihon Knowledge] New Share Issue for Director Compensation | July 2026","jir_meta_description":"Nihon Knowledge issued 13,400 shares based on the transfer-restricted stock compensation plan, aiming to expand the scheme and strengthen long-term incentives.","jir_og_title":"[Nihon Knowledge] New Share Issue for Director Compensation | July 2026","jir_og_description":"Nihon Knowledge issued 13,400 shares to directors, aiming to expand the scheme and enhance long-term corporate value.","jir_og_image_url":"\/assets\/og\/company-general_ir.jpg","jir_chart_data_collection":"[]","ir_related_company":61031,"ir_release_date":"","ir_type":"","ir_is_new":false,"ir_document_url":"","jir_ir_type":"share_cancellation","footnotes":""},"sector":[],"importance":[],"class_list":["post-86355","ir_release","type-ir_release","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.7 -
