Kojima unveils new stock compensation plans for executives, employees

Kojima Co., Ltd. resolved on November 17, 2025, to dispose of 92,000 treasury shares as restricted stock compensation, valued at 102,948,000 yen at a disposal price of 1,119 yen per share. This disposal, scheduled for December 2, 2025, will benefit 114 executive officers and managerial employees. The compensation is part of the "Employee Choice Stock Compensation Plan" introduced on February 25, 2025, which allows employees to choose between restricted stock and stock-compensation-type share options.

For those selecting restricted stock, a transfer restriction period applies from the disposal date until either the recipient's retirement or the submission date of the relevant securities report, with full lifting of restrictions generally upon five years of continuous employment. The company may acquire shares without compensation under specific conditions, such as resignation without a legitimate reason. Organizational restructuring or tender offers also have specific provisions for lifting transfer restrictions.

Separately, Kojima Co., Ltd. also announced the issuance of 356 stock-compensation-type share acquisition rights to 54 executive officers and employees, as "Kojima Co., Ltd. 10th Stock-Compensation-Type Share Acquisition Rights," on December 2, 2025. Each right represents 100 common shares, exercisable from December 3, 2028, to December 2, 2030, provided the allottee maintains their position within the company group, with exceptions for mandatory retirement or other justifiable reasons.
