YAKULT HONSHA CO.,LTD. [2267.T]
TOKYO, Feb 10 (Pulse News Wire) – Yakult Honsha CO.,LTD. (2267.T) announced today that its board of directors has decided to revise the existing equity compensation system for executives to introduce a performance-based stock incentive program.
The changes aim to enhance alignment between executive remuneration and long-term corporate value, shifting the ratio from 70% fixed salary, 15% short-term incentives, and 15% long-term incentives to 60%, 15%, and 25%, respectively. The revised plan includes a new trust mechanism called Board Benefit Trust-Restricted Stock (BBT-RS). Under this scheme, shares will be granted based on performance metrics such as Return on Equity (ROE), relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR), and employee engagement scores.
Executives will enter into lock-up agreements restricting share transfers until their departure from the company. The proposed changes require approval at the upcoming 74th ordinary shareholders' meeting scheduled for June 2026. Further details will be disclosed upon finalization.
