Fukuda Corporation to dispose of treasury shares for employee benefit schemes

Fukuda Corporation announced on November 26, 2025, a resolution to dispose of 12,000 shares of common stock from its treasury. This action supports the ongoing operation of its BBT (Stock Benefit Trust) and J-ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan) schemes by providing additional shares to the respective trusts. The shares will be disposed of to the Japan Custody Bank (Trust Account E) on December 18, 2025, at a price of 6,825 yen per share, totaling 81,900,000 yen.

The disposition aims to secure future share allocations for directors, officers, and employees, reflecting compensation for their services. The 12,000 shares represent 0.13% of the total outstanding shares as of June 30, 2025. The BBT scheme will receive 6,000 shares with an additional contribution of 40,950,000 yen, and the J-ESOP scheme will also receive 6,000 shares with an additional contribution of 40,950,000 yen.

The disposal price of 6,825 yen per share was determined by the average closing price of the company's common stock on the Tokyo Stock Exchange over the three-month period from August 26, 2025, to November 25, 2025. This method was chosen to provide an objective basis for the valuation, mitigating the impact of short-term stock price fluctuations.
