Daicel completes share buyback, plans further repurchases

Daicel Corporation has completed a significant share repurchase, acquiring 2,883,500 shares of its common stock for a total of 3,638,977,000 yen. This acquisition, executed on November 11, 2025, via the Tokyo Stock Exchange's off-auction own share repurchase trading system (ToSTNeT-3), aligns with the company's mid-term management strategy to enhance shareholder returns and improve capital efficiency.

This transaction follows a resolution approved by the board of directors on November 6, 2025, which authorized the repurchase of up to 11,000,000 shares, representing 4.14% of outstanding shares (excluding treasury shares), with a maximum acquisition value of 15 bn yen. The authorized acquisition period extends from November 10, 2025, to March 31, 2026, allowing for further repurchases through both market purchases on the Tokyo Stock Exchange and additional ToSTNeT-3 transactions.
