Takara Standard's share buyback shifts largest shareholder

Takara Standard Co., Ltd. announced on November 10, 2025, the results of its treasury stock acquisition. The company repurchased 866,500 shares of its common stock for a total of JPY 2,212,174,500 through a ToSTNeT-3 off-market share repurchase. This acquisition is part of the company's "Medium-Term Management Plan 2026," aiming to enhance shareholder returns and build a sustainable growth foundation.

As a result of this treasury stock acquisition, which carries no voting rights, the total number of voting rights held by shareholders decreased. This led to a change in the percentage of voting rights held by Takara Belmont Asset Management Co., Ltd., which has become the new largest shareholder.

Prior to the repurchase, Takara Belmont Asset Management Co., Ltd. held 65,000 voting rights, representing 9.99% of the total voting rights. Following the transaction, their ownership percentage increased to 10.13% due to the reduction in total outstanding voting rights, while their number of voting rights remained 65,000. The company expects no impact on its business performance from this change.
