Japan Post Bank concludes major share buyback, plans further repurchases

Japan Post Bank announced on December 24, 2025, the completion of its ToSTNeT-3 share buyback. The bank acquired 7,058,800 shares of its common stock for a total cost of 14,999,950,000 yen, aiming to enhance capital efficiency and strengthen shareholder returns.

The ToSTNeT-3 buyback concluded after reaching the upper limit of the acquisition value set by the board on December 23, 2025. Japan Post Bank plans to continue share repurchases through a market purchase agreement, utilizing the remaining authorized amount. These future repurchases are scheduled to begin on January 5, 2026, and end on March 24, 2026.

The total authorized buyback, approved by the board on December 23, 2025, was for up to 23,000,000 shares, or 30,000,000,000 yen. However, actual future acquisitions will be conducted while maintaining Japan Post Holdings Co., Ltd.'s voting rights at or below one-half, which could lead to a significantly lower final acquisition amount than the remaining limit.
