Freee K.K. is revising its executive stock compensation plans after achieving profitability for the first time in FY2025.

Compensation limits for top executives will increase to 100 million yen or 67,000 shares annually, up from 60 million yen or 12,000 shares. Other eligible directors will see limits rise to 20 million yen or 13,400 shares from 15 million yen or 3,000 shares.

Future performance-linked compensation will tie to annual recurring revenue and customer growth, alongside achieving the "Rule of 40" and 20% year-on-year revenue growth by FY2028.
