Itochu-Shokuhin Co., Ltd. ( (JP:2692) ) has provided an announcement.
ITOCHU-SHOKUHIN has revised its dividend forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, deciding to cancel the planned year-end dividend, leaving only the already-paid interim dividend and reducing the total annual payout from the previous forecast. The board justified the move by noting that the tender offer price for the company’s shares, to be launched by G.K. FMDI, a wholly owned unit of parent ITOCHU Corporation, was calculated on the assumption that no year-end dividend would be paid in the year the company is taken private and subsequently delisted.
In a parallel step, the board approved the abolition of the company’s shareholder benefit plan starting with the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, making the benefits granted to holders as of March 31, 2025 the final distribution under the program. Management said ending the benefit scheme is intended to ensure equal treatment between shareholders who tender into the buyout offer and those who do not, as the company transitions toward a wholly owned structure under ITOCHU, altering the return profile for minority investors.
The most recent analyst rating on (JP:2692) stock is a Buy with a Yen13231.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Itochu-Shokuhin Co., Ltd. stock, see the JP:2692 Stock Forecast page.
