An update from Ishihara Chemical Company,Ltd. ( (JP:4462) ) is now available.

Ishihara Chemical Co., Ltd. will seek shareholder approval at its June 25, 2026 annual general meeting to continue its existing takeover defense policy, renamed the New Response Policy, with no changes to its basic content. The policy is designed to prevent control of the company’s financial and business policies by inappropriate acquirers and targets any large-scale share purchases that would push a specific shareholder group’s voting rights to 20% or more, subject to review by an Independent Committee.

The New Response Policy, which has the support of all Audit and Supervisory Committee members including outside members, aligns with Japan’s evolving guidelines and corporate governance standards on takeover defenses. If approved by a majority of voting shareholders, it will take effect after the first board meeting following the AGM, formalizing a framework for assessing large-scale purchase attempts and enabling countermeasures where deemed necessary to safeguard corporate value and the collective interests of shareholders.
