Marked increase. It has been announced that the company will acquire up to 0.06 million shares (0.05 billion yen) of its own shares. The percentage of shares outstanding (excluding treasury shares) is 3.33%. The acquisition period is from the 20th to March 31, 2025. The purpose is to implement a flexible capital policy in response to changes in the business environment. In addition to being well received as a shareholder return strategy, the fact that the share price has stopped falling since hitting a year-to-date low on the 15th seems to be contributing to buying interest due to a sense of support.
