Daicel Corporation announced its plan to acquire up to 2,900,000 shares of its common stock through an Off-Auction Own Share Repurchase Trading System (ToSTNeT-3) on November 11, 2025. The buy order will be placed at 8:45 a.m. JST, with the purchase price set at 1,262 yen per share, matching the closing price of Daicel's ordinary shares on the Tokyo Stock Exchange from November 10, 2025.

This specific acquisition method follows a broader resolution approved by Daicel's Board of Directors on November 6, 2025. The board authorized the acquisition of up to 11,000,000 shares, representing 4.14% of outstanding shares (excluding treasury shares), with a maximum total acquisition amount of 15 billion yen. The overall acquisition period for this program extends from November 10, 2025, to March 31, 2026, and includes both purchases on the Tokyo Stock Exchange market and through the off-auction system.
