TOKYO, May 25 (Pulse News Wire) – Convano Inc. (6574.T) decided at its board meeting on May 25 to propose reducing capital reserves and share capital at its upcoming annual shareholders' meeting scheduled for June 27.
The move aims to enhance shareholder returns through more flexible stock buybacks. The company's balance sheet shows negative retained earnings of ¥4,330,890,222 due to cryptocurrency-related losses reported in the fiscal year ending March 2026. This situation restricts Convano’s ability to distribute profits to shareholders via dividends or repurchases.
By implementing these reductions, Convano expects to create an additional ¥10,419,848,80¥0 in “other capital surplus,” expanding available funds for future dividend payouts and strategic stock repurchase programs. Convano plans to use these newly created surplus funds to execute timely and flexible stock buyback operations based on market conditions, share price trends, and performance metrics. Any acquired shares will likely be canceled according to Article 178 of the Companies Act, potentially boosting key per-share indicators such as EPS, BPS, and ROE.
Key dates for the process include: - Board resolution date: May 25, 2026 - Scheduled shareholders’ meeting date: June 27, 2026 - Expected creditor protection procedure start date: March 31, 2026 - Final deadline for creditors to file objections: August 5, 2026 - Effective date: August 6, 2026 (subject to completion of creditor protection procedures) This restructuring does not affect the company’s net assets, creditworthiness, or ongoing operations but will enable Convano to pursue aggressive shareholder return strategies aligned with its mid-term business plan objectives.
