Aruhi announces dual stock option programs for employees, aims for record profit

Aruhi Corporation announced on August 27, 2025, that it will issue both compensated and uncompensated stock acquisition rights (stock options) to its directors, corporate officers, and employees, as well as those of its subsidiaries.

The uncompensated program will issue 6,327 units of stock acquisition rights, each convertible into 100 shares of common stock, with an exercise price of 843 yen per share. The compensated program will issue 6,591 units, also convertible into 100 common shares each, with an issue price of 1,200 yen per unit and an exercise price of 843 yen per share.

Both programs share a key exercise condition: the company's consolidated pre-tax profit must exceed 7,745 million yen in any fiscal year from March 2026 to March 2030, a target aimed at achieving historical high profits. The uncompensated rights are exercisable from September 11, 2027, to September 10, 2035, while the compensated rights are exercisable from October 1, 2026, to September 16, 2035. The total potential share increase from the compensated program represents approximately 1.47% of the company's 44,712,170 issued shares.

The uncompensated stock options are intended as incentives, while the compensated options are based on individual investment judgment at a fair price, assessed by a third-party appraiser. Both initiatives aim to boost motivation, enhance group solidarity, and contribute to medium- to long-term business growth and corporate value.
