AI Inside Approves Restricted Share Award Program

TOKYO, Jul 23 (Pulse News Wire) – AI Inside Inc. (4488.T) announced today that its board of directors approved the distribution of restricted shares as part of its long-term incentive program.

The company plans to issue 13,200 ordinary shares on August 14, 2026, to three executives and ten employees. Each share will be valued at ¥2,073 per share, totaling ¥27.4 million. This initiative aligns with the company's goal to enhance long-term corporate value and shareholder interests while fostering closer alignment with stakeholders. The program was initially adopted in May 2020 and subsequently revised in June 2021 and June 2023 to ensure fair compensation and governance standards.

The restricted shares will carry a five-year holding period, during which recipients cannot sell, pledge, or otherwise dispose of the shares without meeting specific conditions outlined by the company’s board. Under the agreement, the shares will be managed through a dedicated account at Daiwa Securities Co., Ltd. to prevent unauthorized transfers until the restrictions expire. In case of resignation, death, or other valid reasons recognized by the board, partial lifting of restrictions may occur based on tenure served.

Upon expiration of the restriction period, untransferred shares will be acquired by the company at no cost.
