TOKYO, Mar 23 (Pulse News Wire) – Mitsui-soko Holdings CO.,LTD. (9302.T) announced today that its board of directors approved the issuance of restricted shares to the Mitsui Sokko Group Employee Shareholding Association (the association).

The shares will be distributed on July 31, 2026, with each share priced at [NUM_0] yen. The total amount of the distribution is estimated at [NUM_1] yen based on the assumption that up to [NUM_17] employees will participate, receiving 100 restricted shares each. Under this program, Mitsui Sokko Holdings will issue ordinary shares to the association in exchange for special incentives paid out to eligible employees. The incentive payments will be made in cash, and employees will contribute these funds to the association, which will then purchase the restricted shares from Mitsui Sokko Holdings.

The shares come with restrictions on transfer until March 31, 2032, and certain conditions apply for lifting these restrictions. The distribution aims to enhance employee welfare and promote long-term value creation through equity participation. It also seeks to deepen shareholder engagement and align interests with those of shareholders. The company believes the dilution impact of issuing 250,000 shares, assuming full participation, would be reasonable and unlikely to significantly affect the market.

The transaction is subject to the timely execution of agreements and regulatory approvals.
