Kourakuen to Introduce Restricted Stock Plan for Directors

The latest announcement is out from Kourakuen Holdings Corporation ( (JP:7554) ).

Kourakuen Corporation’s board has approved the introduction of a new restricted stock compensation plan for its internal directors, subject to shareholder approval at the June 18, 2026 annual meeting. The scheme aims to better align management incentives with long-term corporate value and shareholder interests by granting common shares, either free or in exchange for monetary claims, under a separate ceiling from existing cash director pay.

Under the plan, up to 30,000 shares and ¥30 million in stock-based compensation may be granted annually to eligible directors, with grant prices tied to recent Tokyo Stock Exchange closing prices to avoid preferential treatment. The restricted shares will be subject to transfer prohibitions until directors leave designated posts, and may be forfeited without compensation in certain cases, reinforcing retention and governance objectives that could strengthen Kourakuen’s long-term strategic focus.
