TOKYO, May 15 (Pulse News Wire) – CREAL Inc. (2998.T) resolved to issue tax-qualified stock options to its executives, employees, and subsidiary staff at its board meeting held.
The issuance aims to enhance employee morale and cohesion while supporting long-term performance growth and corporate value enhancement. A total of 4,100 options will be granted, each allowing the holder to acquire 100 ordinary shares at an exercise price of ¥678 per share, determined based on the closing price of CREAL's ordinary shares on May 14, 2026. In case all options are exercised, the dilution effect could reach up to 1.14%. However, the company believes this issuance is reasonable as it contributes to shareholder and corporate value improvement through enhanced employee motivation and achievement of performance targets.
To mitigate potential dilution effects, CREAL plans to primarily utilize treasury shares upon option exercise, as decided during the same board meeting. The options will be exercisable from June 3, 2028, to June 2, 2032. Exercise conditions include maintaining executive positions within CREAL or related companies until the time of exercise, barring exceptions approved by the board. Additionally, holders who cease to meet these conditions or engage in activities detrimental to the company’s interests will lose their right to exercise the options.
