Trend Micro issues stock options to boost performance

Trend Micro Incorporated announced on December 4, 2025, a resolution by its board of directors to issue 3,700 stock options (share subscription rights) to 18 individuals. These include directors and employees of both the company and its subsidiaries. This initiative aims to strengthen the company’s performance and increase shareholder value by linking the recipients' benefits to the company's stock price and profits.

The allocation includes 600 options for three directors and 100 options for one employee at Trend Micro. Subsidiary directors will receive 1,200 options across six individuals, while 1,800 options will be granted to eight subsidiary employees. Each stock option represents 100 shares of common stock, totaling 370,000 shares if all options are exercised.

The exercise period for these stock options is set from December 20, 2025, to December 19, 2030. The exercise price will be the closing price of Trend Micro's common stock on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on the allotment date, December 19, 2025. No cash payment is required for the issuance of these new share subscription rights, as they are granted as incentive compensation.
