TOKYO, Jun 15 (Pulse News Wire) – D&M Company Co.,ltd (189A.T) resolved today to expand its shareholder benefits program beginning May 2027. The changes include increasing the frequency of benefit distribution to twice annually, on May 31st and November 30th, and boosting the annual budget for benefits to ¥20 million from ¥10 million previously.
Additionally, the company will simplify the eligibility criteria, removing the distinction between shareholders receiving one or two shares of benefits. Under the revised plan, shareholders holding 300 ordinary shares or more will qualify for benefits based on their holdings as of each determination date. The per-share benefit amount will be calculated based on the number of eligible shareholders, with any fractional amounts less than one yen being discarded. The company expects this adjustment to enhance shareholder engagement and stock liquidity while maintaining sustainable operations. In addition to expanding the benefits program, D&M Company noted that there was a significant increase in the number of shareholders holding 300 or more shares, rising to 523 as of May 2026.
The firm also highlighted robust business performance, which supports further investment and financial strengthening going forward. For the initial implementation in November 2026, the existing structure will remain unchanged, offering either one or two shares of benefits based on continuous shareholding since May 2026. However, subsequent distributions will follow the simplified model outlined above. Regarding future impacts, the company stated that there would be no effect on the fiscal year ending May 2026 earnings forecast. Details of the impact on the fiscal year ending May 2027 will be disclosed alongside the interim report scheduled for release on July 14, 2026.
