TOKYO, May 22 (Pulse News Wire) – RIKEI CORPORATION (8226.T) announced today that its board of directors has approved the introduction of a restricted share compensation plan aimed at enhancing the company's long-term value and fostering greater alignment with shareholders. The plan will be presented for shareholder approval at the upcoming annual general meeting scheduled for June 26.
Under the new scheme, eligible executives will receive either ordinary shares or cash-settled equity awards within a total annual limit of ¥15 million. The issuance of shares will be subject to restrictions during a designated holding period, preventing transfers or pledges until the end of this period. Should certain conditions arise, the company reserves the right to reclaim such shares without payment.
Additionally, RIKEI plans to extend similar compensation arrangements to some non-executive officers pending approval from the upcoming annual meeting. The existing cap on executive remuneration, set at ¥300 million per annum since June 29, 1995, remains unchanged but will now incorporate provisions for the new restricted share program. This move underscores RIKEI’s commitment to aligning executive incentives more closely with shareholder interests while adhering to established governance frameworks.
