ASUA Inc. [246A.T]
TOKYO, Feb 13 (Pulse News Wire) -- Asua Inc. (246A.T), represented by President Hiroshi Maichi, announced on Monday that its board of directors had resolved to change its dividend policy and introduce a shareholder benefits program aimed at enhancing long-term growth and strengthening ties withindividual shareholders. The company's decision was made during a meeting held on February 13, 2026.
Asua has traditionally focused on reinforcing revenue generation through existing operations and strategic investments in emerging sectors, positioning profit distribution as a key component of its business strategy. This approach included maintaining a progressive dividend payout ratio target of 30%. However, after evaluating various factors such as shareholder composition, liquidity ratios, market capitalization, and financial health, the company concluded that fostering longer-term equity holdings among individual investors would be beneficial for sustained growth.
The new dividend policy will shift away from the previous progressive dividend structure towards an integrated shareholder return framework combining dividends and shareholder perks. Under this revised plan, Asua aims to enhance overall shareholder satisfaction while continuing to prioritize investments that boost enterprise value. The company stated it will carefully assess its financial standing, operational progress, and investment climate to ensure appropriate levels of returns to stakeholders.
In addition to these changes, Asua is implementing a share-based shareholder benefit scheme where the total amount of benefits remains fixed at ¥20 million, distributed proportionally among qualifying shareholders. Eligible shareholders must hold at least 200 ordinary shares as recorded in the register as of June 30 each year. Based on data from December 31, 2025, there were 609 shareholders holding more than 200 shares, which translates to approximately ¥32,841 per shareholder. Actual distributions may vary depending on the number of eligible shareholders as of June 30, 2026.
These benefits will be provided via digital gift cards and dispatched within three months following the eligibility date. Furthermore, Asua anticipates recognizing ¥20 million as general administrative expenses due to the implementation of this new shareholder perk system. An impact assessment on the fiscal year ending June 2026 is currently underway; any significant findings will be promptly disclosed.
