Qol Holdings Reintroduces Employee Shareholding Incentive Plan

TOKYO, Jun 26 (Pulse News Wire) – Qol Holdings CO.,LTD. (3034.T) reintroduced its employee shareholding incentive plan, E-Ship®, at a board meeting held.

The plan aims to incentivize employees towards long-term corporate value enhancement and support sustainable growth. Under the new plan, Qol will set up a trust fund called the “E-Ship Trust” managed by Nomura Trust Bank. The trust will purchase approximately five years and six months' worth of expected shares through the stock exchange market. Shares will be sold back to the employee holding association continuously during the trust period.

Any accumulated gains from selling the shares will be distributed among eligible beneficiaries upon the trust's termination. Conversely, if there are losses due to falling stock prices, Qol will cover the resulting debt. This initiative seeks to boost employee welfare by promoting greater equity participation and retention among staff members, thereby fostering their asset formation. The previous iteration of the plan concluded ahead of schedule in January 2026, leading to its reintroduction now.
