AIAI Group to Issue Tax-Qualified Stock Options to Directors

TOKYO, Jun 24 (Pulse News Wire) – AIAI Group Corporation (6557.T) resolved at its board meeting held today to issue tax-qualified stock options to its directors, excluding audit committee members and outside directors, aiming to enhance long-term performance and align interests with shareholders. Under the plan, one director will receive 1,000 stock options, each exercisable for 100 shares of common stock.

The exercise price per share will be determined based on the closing price of AIAI's ordinary shares on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on the grant date, which is set for July 13, 2026. The option term runs from June 25, 2028, to June 24, 2036, requiring the holder to maintain a position as a director, executive officer, or employee during the exercise period.

For capital increase purposes, the issuance of shares upon exercise will raise the company’s capital by half of the calculated limit amount, rounding up any fractional amounts. Any excess funds will go towards additional paid-in capital.

Additionally, the company reserves the right to acquire unexercised options under certain conditions, such as mergers or significant changes in shareholder rights.
