Japan Post Holdings Corrects Scale and Method of Share Buyback Program

JAPAN POST HOLDINGS Co ( (JP:6178) ) has provided an update.

Japan Post Holdings has corrected details of its previously announced share buyback program authorized by its board in May 2025, which targets up to 250 million common shares, or 8.4% of shares outstanding excluding treasury stock, to be repurchased between August 1, 2025, and March 31, 2026. The company revised the maximum total acquisition amount downward from 2.5 trillion yen to 250 billion yen and clarified that purchases will be executed both via the Tokyo Stock Exchange’s off-auction ToSTNeT-3 system and regular auction trading, an adjustment that significantly alters the scale and mechanics of the capital return and may temper prior expectations about the program’s impact on shareholder value and market liquidity.
