Mochida Pharmaceutical will conduct a secondary offering of 1,153,600 existing common shares through a purchase and underwriting arrangement, with pricing to be set in early April based on market demand and recent Tokyo Stock Exchange trading levels.

The transaction is expected to increase the stock’s liquidity and modestly broaden its free float without issuing new shares, thereby reshaping Mochida’s shareholder base while avoiding dilution for existing investors.
