TAKEDA iP HOLDINGS CO.,LTD. [7875.T]
TOKYO, Feb 18 (Pulse News Wire) -- Takeda IP Holdings Co., Ltd. (7875.T), led by President and CEO COOCFO Hiroshi Hosono, announced today that its board of directors has approved a share split and corresponding amendments to the company's articles of incorporation. The move aims to lower the per-share investment amount, thereby broadening the investor base and enhancing market liquidity.
The share split will be executed on March 31, 2026, with shareholders recorded in the final shareholder register as of that date receiving two shares for every one they currently hold. As a result, the total number of outstanding shares will increase from 8,781,000 to 17,562,000. Additionally, the maximum number of authorized shares will rise from 29,592,000 to 59,184,000, aligning with the new share structure effective April 1, 2026. The official announcement is scheduled for March 13, 2026, with the changes taking effect immediately after the split.
In conjunction with the share split, the company also plans to modify its shareholder benefits program. Under the revised scheme, which takes effect on April 1, 2026, shareholders holding 100 or more shares will receive a Quo Card worth ¥1,000, while those owning 2,000 or more shares will get an additional Quo Card plus either five kilograms of Niigata Prefecture Koshihikari rice or a Naito Museum masterpiece calendar. This adjustment ensures that the substance of the shareholder benefit remains consistent despite the increased number of shares.
Furthermore, the company will adjust the annual stock-based compensation granted to non-audit committee members of the board of directors. Following the split, the limit on restricted stock awards will increase from 80,000 shares annually to 160,000 shares, starting April 1, 2026. These measures reflect the company’s commitment to maintaining equitable treatment for all stakeholders amidst structural changes.
