San-In Godo Bank announced a treasury share acquisition program, authorizing the purchase of up to 1,000,000 common shares, representing 0.65% of outstanding shares (excluding treasury stock), for a total cost not exceeding 1,000 million yen. This buyback will occur from November 14, 2025, to January 30, 2026, via market purchases on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
