TOKYO, Apr 08 (Pulse News Wire) – KYB Corporation (7242.T) announced plans to conduct a share split and amend its articles of incorporation. At a board meeting held on April 08, 2026, the company decided to implement a share split ratio of 1-to-3, effective September 30, 2026, based on the final shareholder registry recorded on that day.
The total number of outstanding common shares post-split will increase from 40,598,798 to 121,796,394. Additionally, the company resolved to cancel 9,869,864 ordinary shares on June 29, 2026. The primary goal of the share split is to enhance liquidity and attract more investors by reducing the investment unit size domestically, particularly in light of the introduction of new NISA programs.
The amendment to the articles of incorporation will adjust the total number of authorized shares and types of authorized shares accordingly. A shareholders' meeting scheduled for June 24, 2026, will consider these changes, with the amendments taking effect on October 01, 2026. No changes will occur in the capital amount due to the share split.
Shareholders should note that the dividend per share for the fiscal year ending March 2026 would remain unchanged at ¥150 if the split had taken place on April 01, 2025, instead of the planned October 01, 2026, implementation date.
