TOKYO, Mar 12 (Pulse News Wire) – Cookpad Inc. (2193.T) disclosed its plan to meet listing standards through share repurchases aimed at improving liquidity ratios.
As of December 31, 2025, the company did not comply with the liquidity ratio requirement set by the Tokyo Stock Exchange. To address this, Cookpad plans to repurchase shares held by itself, which includes shares acquired between April 1, 2025, and March 31, 2026. According to the disclosure, Cookpad's current liquidity ratio stands at 24.4%, based on data as of December 31, 2025. The company’s target is to achieve a ratio of 25% by the end of April 2026.
By eliminating self-held shares, the total number of outstanding shares will decrease while the circulating stock remains unchanged, thereby increasing the liquidity ratio. Preliminary calculations suggest that the post-repurchase ratio could reach approximately 26.4%. Furthermore, Cookpad intends to promptly file necessary documentation with the Tokyo Stock Exchange following the share repurchase. Once confirmed compliant, the company will immediately announce the results.
This initiative underscores Cookpad's commitment to maintaining trustworthiness in capital markets and enhancing sustainable corporate value aligned with its mission of making daily cooking enjoyable worldwide.
