Kakaku ( (JP:2371) ) has shared an announcement.

Kakaku.com, Inc. has decided to abolish its restricted shares remuneration plan for executive directors, contingent on the successful completion of a tender offer by Kamgras 1 K.K. that is expected to lead to the company’s delisting. The plan, introduced in 2024 and reaffirmed in 2025 to align directors’ incentives with shareholders through stock-based pay, had authorized up to 350 million yen and 300,000 shares annually for eligible directors.

With the board now supporting the tender offer and recommending shareholders tender their shares, Kakaku.com will discontinue stock-based compensation once the deal closes and will instead provide cash remuneration to eligible directors for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027. This cash compensation will be paid within the existing annual director pay ceiling of 360 million yen, signaling a shift away from equity-linked incentives as the company prepares for life outside the public markets and adjusts its governance and pay structures accordingly.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:2371) stock is a Buy with a Yen3000.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Kakaku stock, see the JP:2371 Stock Forecast page.
