SUNDAY CO.,LTD. [7450.T]
TOKYO — Sunday Co., Ltd. announced on January 8 that its board has decided to suspend the planned dividend payout for the fiscal year ending February 2026 and discontinue its shareholder benefits program as of August 31, 2026, contingent upon the successful tender offer by its parent company, AEON Co., Ltd.
The decision was made during a board meeting held on January 8, where Sunday's directors also expressed their support for the public tender offer initiated by AEON. The tender offer aims to fully acquire Sunday through a series of procedures following the buyout, leading to the delisting of Sunday’s shares from the Tokyo Stock Exchange Standard Market (code 7450). For further details, shareholders can refer to the separate press release issued on the same day regarding the opinion statement and recommendation for the tender offer.
Regarding dividends, Sunday had previously forecasted an end-of-year dividend payment of ¥5 per share for the fiscal year ending February 28, 2026, which was announced on April 11, 2025. However, due to the conditions set forth by AEON for the tender offer, including the suspension of the final dividend payment, Sunday's board resolved to revise this forecast. As a result, no dividend will be paid out for the fiscal year ending February 28, 2026. This change is reflected in the revised annual dividend schedule, which now shows zero yen for both interim and final dividend payments compared to the previous forecast of ¥5 per share.
Additionally, Sunday confirmed that it will terminate its shareholder benefits program effective August 31, 2026. This means that all current beneficiaries under the program as of August 31, 2025, will receive their last round of benefits before the program is discontinued. Any potential reinstatement of the shareholder benefits program if the tender offer does not materialize remains undecided at this time.
