Yamatane corporation increases interim dividend, continues restricted stock plan

Yamatane Corporation announced on October 17, 2025, an interim dividend of 35.00 yen per share for the fiscal year ending March 2026, a 10.00 yen increase from the previous forecast. This decision results in a total dividend payment of 759m yen and brings the full-year dividend forecast to 72.50 yen per share, up from the prior year's 52.50 yen. The company's dividend policy targets a 3% DOE (Dividend on Equity) ratio.

Concurrently, Yamatane Corporation will continue its restricted stock remuneration plan for group company employees, initially introduced on October 20, 2023. This plan aims to foster a sense of management involvement by enabling employees to hold company shares, aligning their interests with those of shareholders. The company plans to issue or dispose of approximately 110,000 shares for this purpose.

The restricted stock plan will continue for the fiscal year 2026, with details on beneficiaries and share numbers to be announced later. Both the dividend increase and the continuation of the restricted stock plan were approved by the Board of Directors on October 17, 2025.
