Avant Corporation to buy back shares, cancel treasury stock

Avant Corporation announced on November 19, 2025, a resolution to acquire its common stock and subsequently cancel treasury stock. The company plans to repurchase up to 1.5 million shares, or a total purchase price of up to JPY 2 billion, through market purchases on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. The buyback period is scheduled from November 28, 2025, to May 29, 2026. This initiative aims to improve capital efficiency, fulfill a commitment to shareholders, and address market valuations that may deviate from the company's perceived appropriate level.

Following the share buyback, Avant Corporation intends to cancel all repurchased shares, with the planned cancellation date set for June 30, 2026. The exact number of shares to be canceled will be announced after the completion of the repurchase program.

As of September 30, 2025, Avant Corporation's total number of outstanding shares (excluding treasury stock) was 36,539,018, with 1,106,833 shares held as treasury stock.
