Tobu Railway expands shareholder perks, adds new discount ticket tiers

Tobu Railway Co., Ltd. has decided to enhance its shareholder benefit program, effective from the shareholder benefits for those listed in the Shareholder Registry as of March 31, 2026. The revisions aim to boost the attractiveness of the company’s shares and encourage long-term ownership.

The primary change is the subdivision of coupon-type ticket categories, introducing a new tier for shareholders holding 400 to less than 600 shares. These shareholders will now receive four coupon-type shareholder discount tickets, an increase from the previous two tickets issued in the 200 to less than 600 shares category.

Additionally, the program expands long-term retention benefits. Shareholders continuously holding 600 to less than 1,000 shares for three years or longer will receive an additional two coupon-type shareholder discount tickets. Eligibility for these additional issuances requires continuous ownership of 600 or more shares under the same shareholder number on all record dates (March 31 and September 30) over the past three years. The smallest number of shares held during this period will determine the benefit. These benefits are scheduled for delivery in June 2026.
