Kokusai Electric to Dispose of Treasury Shares for Performance-Based Equity Awards

Kokusai Electric Corporation ( (JP:6525) ) just unveiled an update.

Kokusai Electric’s board has approved the disposal of up to 79,421 treasury shares, worth a maximum of about ¥562 million at a price of ¥7,078 per share, to settle vested Restricted Stock Units and Performance Share Units under its stock-based compensation plan. The shares will be allotted to selected directors, executive officers, former directors, and subsidiary officers and employees, reinforcing an incentive structure tied to multi-year performance metrics such as relative total shareholder return, adjusted operating margin, and free cash flow, and is intended to enhance group-wide corporate value and retention.

Under the plan, RSUs vest based on continued service, while PSUs vest after a three-year performance evaluation period, with payout levels linked to achievement of financial and market-based targets. Unvested units are generally forfeited on resignation, except in specified justifiable cases or death, which ensures alignment of management and key personnel with the company’s medium- to long-term growth and financial performance while controlling dilution via the use of treasury shares.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:6525) stock is a Hold with a Yen6700.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Kokusai Electric Corporation stock, see the JP:6525 Stock Forecast page.
