TOKYO, Feb 24 (Pulse News Wire) -- e-Seikatsu Co., Ltd. (3796.T), led by CEO Zenichi Maeno, announced today that its board of directors has approved a share split and an upward revision to dividend expectations. The company aims to make its shares more accessible to investors while enhancing liquidity and broadening the shareholder base through the share split. Additionally, the revised dividend forecast reflects the company's commitment to sustainable growth and increased returns to shareholders.

The share split will be executed on March 31, 2026, with a ratio of one-to-two, meaning each existing share will be converted into two new shares. As a result, the total number of outstanding shares will increase from 7.28 million to 14.56 million. The record date for the split is set for March 10, 2026, and the effective date will be April 1, 2026. Notably, the capital stock amount will remain unchanged despite the increase in the number of shares.

Regarding dividends, the company has decided to revise its forecasts based on strong performance and free cash flow levels. Following the announcement on February 12, 2026, which already reflected an upward adjustment to earnings projections, e-Seikatsu now plans to boost its annual dividend payout per share before the split from ¥5 to ¥6. This represents a net increase of ¥1 per share compared to previous estimates. For the fiscal year ending March 2026, the semi-annual interim dividend will be ¥3 per share, as well as the final dividend, totaling ¥6 per share pre-split. This marks a significant improvement over the previous estimate of ¥5 per share.

These moves underscore the company's strategic focus on maintaining competitiveness while rewarding shareholders with higher dividends.
