TOKYO, Mar 25 (Pulse News Wire) – Unitika Ltd. (3103.T) announced today that it received approval from the Tokyo Stock Exchange to move its listing from Prime to Standard.
As a result, the company withdrew its previously disclosed plan aimed at meeting the maintenance standards for the Prime market. In the fiscal year ending March 2026, Unitika implemented significant structural reforms, including exiting unprofitable businesses and expanding sales of high-value products in growth sectors. These efforts led to strong performance, surpassing previous results in the eighth quarter of the fiscal year. Currently, the company meets all maintenance criteria, including the circulating share price total value requirement.
However, considering the relative costs associated with maintaining a listing on the Prime market compared to the company's size, management decided that focusing resources on ongoing restructuring initiatives would better serve shareholder interests and enhance corporate value. Therefore, the transition to the Standard market was chosen. Unitika’s suitability status for the Standard market as of September 2025 shows a circulating share count of ¥3.78 trillion units, a circulating share price total value of ¥51.67 trillion yen, and a monthly average trading volume of 8.950 billion shares. The company plans to complete the market classification change to Standard on April 1, 2026.
