UT Group announces 1-for-15 stock split, revises dividend forecast

UT Group announced a 1-for-15 stock split of its common shares, effective January 1, 2026, with a record date of December 31, 2025. This action will increase the total number of issued shares from 39,902,683 to 598,540,245 and authorized shares from 160,000,000 to 2.3 billion. The split aims to lower the investment unit price, boosting stock liquidity and attracting a broader range of investors.

The dividend forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2026 has been revised. The previous full-year dividend forecast of JPY 162.72 (before the split) remains unchanged in real terms, despite the increase in outstanding shares. The first-quarter dividend for 2025 remains JPY 40.19.
