Inc. approved the renewal of its acquisition defense measures. As the validity of the previous plan is set to expire in August 2026, the company has made partial revisions to its response measures to prevent control and preserve corporate value. The new plan clarifies joint cooperative actions and refines expressions to strengthen mechanisms that prevent inappropriate conduct by controlling shareholders. This approach respects shareholder intentions while pursuing long-term value enhancement and governance transparency.\n\n### Protection of Shareholders\u2019 Interests and Future Measures\nWith the implementation of this plan, prior notification and shareholder intent confirmation will be conducted regarding acquisition proposals and control actions, prioritizing shareholder judgment. The establishment of an independent committee and increased information disclosure will monitor the legitimacy of acquisition activities and oppose actions that damage corporate value or the joint interests of shareholders. Going forward, the company aims to enhance capital policies and governance, promoting sustainable corporate value improvement and shareholder returns.","jir_financial_highlights":"","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#Weathernews, #IRRelated, #JapanStocks","jir_key_figures":"Validity period of the old plan: August 2026\nShareholding ratio of shareholders: 22.21% (as of May 31, 2026)\nNumber of treasury shares held: 2,955,814 shares (note)","jir_meta_title":"\u3010Weathernews\u3011Update of Acquisition Defense Measures \uff5c July 2026","jir_meta_description":"Weathernews, ahead of the expiration of its old acquisition defense measures in August 2026, has partially revised its response measures to protect shareholder interests and is advancing efforts to strengthen corporate value and governance.","jir_og_title":"\u3010Weathernews\u3011Update of Acquisition Defense Measures and Shareholder Protection \uff5c July 2026","jir_og_description":"Weathernews has revised its acquisition defense measures set to expire in August 2026 and introduced new measures that respect shareholder intentions.
