WASEDA ACADEMY CO.,LTD. [4718.T]
TOKYO, Feb 25 (Pulse News Wire) -- Waseda Academy Co., Ltd. (4718.T), represented by President YAMamoto Yutaka, announced on Friday that it will change its shareholder benefits program as of March 31, 2026. The company aims to enhance convenience for shareholders while maintaining the overall value of the benefits.
The current benefit is a physical QUO card, but starting next year, eligible shareholders will be able to choose between several types of electronic money instead. Shareholders who hold at least 100 shares continuously for less than three years will receive an equivalent amount of 1,000 yen worth of electronic money, while those holding their shares for more than three years will receive 2,000 yen worth. This change applies only to the March-end benefits; the September-end benefits remain unchanged.
For the new system to take effect, shareholders must follow the instructions provided in the notice accompanying the annual general meeting resolution, which includes completing online redemption procedures. Detailed information about how to redeem and use these digital benefits can be found on the official website at https://giftpad.jp/receive/goods_sample/index/187316.
This initiative reflects Waseda Academy's commitment to improving shareholder satisfaction and engagement. By offering greater flexibility through electronic options, the company hopes to attract and retain long-term investors. The decision was made after considering feedback from existing shareholders regarding the ease of using such benefits. The company believes this move will not only improve shareholder experience but also potentially increase investment appeal.
Waseda Academy’s management emphasized that all shareholders should carefully review the updated terms and conditions before making any decisions related to the redemption process. They noted that there are specific timeframes within which the redemption and usage must occur, failing which the benefits may become invalid.
