On the 25th, Yamano Holdings <7571> announced that it will revise the employee share ownership system to further enhance management participation awareness, strengthen support for long-term asset formation for all employees, and ensure the successful implementation of the "Good Cycle" through human capital investment, which is one of the key initiatives in the mid-term management plan announced in May 2024.

In anticipation of enhancing corporate value through the execution of this plan in the future, a special enrollment campaign will be implemented in the first year of the plan this fiscal year.

Through this revision and campaign, the company aims to increase the number of participants in the employee share ownership system and promote continued enrollment of existing members, continuing to work on sustainable growth and medium to long-term enhancement of corporate value within the company group.

The company's employee share ownership program, as one of the employee welfare systems for group employees, allows participation starting from 1,000 yen per share through salary and bonus deductions. With this revision, starting from 2025, members who continue to contribute from March to February of the following year will receive an incentive bonus in February of the following year equivalent to 100% of the average contribution amount.
