Overview of Treasury Share Cancellation\nKomatsu cancelled 20,612,500 shares of treasury stock on December 29, 2025, in accordance with the resolution of the board of directors on April 28, 2025 and based on the provisions of Article 178 of the Companies Act. This represented 2.2% of the total outstanding shares prior to cancellation, with the total number of outstanding shares becoming 930,340,620 shares after cancellation. The treasury shares were acquired through market purchases between April 30, 2025 and November 28, 2025, with a total acquisition cost of 99,999,563,604 yen.\n\n### Purpose of Cancellation and Effect on Shareholder Value\nThe purpose of this treasury share cancellation is to improve earnings per share (EPS) and enhance shareholder value by cancelling all acquired treasury shares. The reduction in the number of shares improves capital efficiency and helps prevent dilution of shares. This is expected to provide better returns to investors.\n\n### Impact on Financials, Stock Price, and Future Policy\nThe cancellation reduces the total number of outstanding shares, which is expected to improve return on equity (ROE) and increase the theoretical stock price. Komatsu plans to continue shareholder return policies through treasury stock acquisition and cancellation to improve capital efficiency. The current cancellation is positioned as part of shareholder returns and is regarded as a measure to enhance corporate value.","jir_financial_highlights":"Number of Shares Cancelled: 20,612,500 shares (Ratio to total outstanding shares before cancellation 2.2%)\nTotal Shares Outstanding After Cancellation: 930,340,620 shares (Decrease from before cancellation 20,612,500 shares (decrease rate 2.2%))\nImpact on Earnings Per Share: Unknown (Upward effect due to reduction in number of shares)","jir_category":"Share Cancellation, Capital Policy, Shareholder","jir_hashtags":"#KomatsuLtd, #ShareBuybackCancellation, #ShareholderReturns, #JapaneseStocks","jir_key_figures":"Number of Shares Cancelled: 20,612,500 shares\nCancellation Date: 2025-12-29\nTotal Outstanding Shares Before Cancellation: Unknown\nTotal Outstanding Shares After Cancellation: 930,340,620 shares (Decrease rate: 2.2%)\nImprovement Effect on Earnings Per Share: Unknown\nAcquisition Period of Shares for Cancellation: 2025-04-30 to 2025-11-28","jir_meta_title":"Komatsu Cancels 20,612,500 Treasury Shares, Reducing Total Outstanding Shares to 930,340,620","jir_meta_description":"Komatsu cancelled 20,612,500 treasury shares (2.2% of total outstanding shares) on December 29, 2025, aiming to enhance shareholder value.
