Arcs revises shareholder benefits, boosts gift card values

Arcs Company, Limited resolved at a Board of Directors meeting on September 16, 2025, to modify its shareholder benefit program, with changes taking effect from the February 28, 2027 record date. The revisions include an increase in the value of VJA Gift Cards and ARCS GROUP Gift Coupons by 1,000 yen and 2,000 yen, respectively, across various shareholding tiers. Additionally, the catalog gift option for shareholders holding 1,000 or more shares will be discontinued. Instead, these shareholders will receive additional VJA Gift Cards or ARCS GROUP Gift Coupons, valued at 3,000 yen for 1,000 to 4,999 shares and 4,000 yen for 5,000 or more shares.

Shareholders eligible for the enhanced benefits must continuously hold 100 or more shares for at least one year, recorded at the end of February and August each year. This means being listed on the shareholder register with the same shareholder number three or more consecutive times, holding at least 100 shares at each point. For instance, a shareholder recorded with 1,000 shares on February 28, 2026, 100 shares on August 31, 2026, and 1,000 shares on February 28, 2027, would receive benefits based on the 100-499 share tier for the July 2027 shipment.

A minor adjustment for the February 28, 2026 record date was also announced: due to a manufacturer discontinuation, the 250g can of apple juice will be replaced with a 190g can, effective from the July 2026 shipment. All other current benefits for the February 2026 record date will remain unchanged. Detailed information on the shareholder benefits will be posted on the company's website after September 17, 2025.
