Ryobi CORP Decides Share Repurchase Plan Amid Capital Policy Revisions

TOKYO, Aug 05 (Pulse News Wire) – Ryobi Limited (5851.T) announced today that its board of directors, meeting, approved a share repurchase plan based on provisions outlined in the Company Law Article 165(2). The decision follows the company's mid-term management plan published on February 13, 2025, which prioritizes enhancing shareholder returns and capital efficiency through progressive dividend payouts and strategic self-share repurchases.

Under this revised capital policy, Ryobi plans to repurchase up to 770,000 shares, representing 2.42% of outstanding shares excluding treasury stock. The total value of the repurchased shares will not exceed ¥1.500 billion.

The repurchase program will run from August 6, 2026, to October 30, 2026, conducted via open-market purchases on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. This initiative aligns with Ryobi’s commitment to bolstering shareholder value and improving capital utilization, alongside the recently disclosed upward revision of its final dividend forecast.
