Fast Retailing to issue stock options to directors and executives

Fast Retailing announced its board of directors and shareholders have approved the issuance of stock-based compensation in the form of share options to its directors and executive officers. This aims to enhance motivation for improving the Fast Retailing Group's performance and increasing shareholder value by linking the executives' benefits directly to the company's stock price.

A total of 3 directors will receive 1,497 share options, while 40 executive officers will be granted 7,631 share options. The share options, designated as "Fast Retailing Co., Ltd. 16th Share Options Type A," will each represent the right to acquire one share of the company's common stock. The exercise price per share will be JPY 1.

The allocation date for these share options is scheduled for December 19, 2025. The exercise period will commence on December 19, 2028, and conclude on December 18, 2035. The grant price for these share options will be calculated using the Black-Scholes model, based on a stock price of JPY 1 as of December 18, 2025, and a projected remaining term of 6.5 years.
