NARASAKI SANGYO CO.,LTD. [8085.T]
TOKYO, Feb 10 (Pulse News Wire) – Narasaki Sangyo CO.,LTD. (8085.T) announced today that its board of directors has approved the reintroduction of the Employee Share Ownership Trust (ESOP Trust) program aimed at enhancing long-term corporate value.
The ESOP Trust was initially introduced in March 2020 but ended in April 2025. The new program seeks to boost employee engagement and align their interests with the company's performance goals. Under the ESOP Trust, eligible employees who meet certain criteria will benefit from a trust fund that acquires Narasaki Sogyo shares through loans from banks guaranteed by the company. The trust will hold these shares until they are sold back to the employee stock purchase plan over several years. Any gains from share price appreciation will be distributed to beneficiaries based on their contribution ratios, while losses would be covered by the company without additional burden to employees.
Additionally, the company plans to repurchase some of its own shares, which will be allocated to the ESOP Trust. Details such as the number of shares and prices will be disclosed once finalized. Further specifics on the timing and duration of the trust will also be communicated upon determination. The ESOP Trust mechanism involves the company setting up a trust with bank financing, ensuring that employees' contributions are used to acquire and manage Narasaki Sogyo shares. The trust will distribute shares monthly to the employee stock purchase plan and reinvest proceeds from sales and dividends to repay borrowed funds.
At the end of the trust period, remaining shares will be liquidated, and profits distributed accordingly; any outstanding debt will be settled by the company.
