Morinaga Milk to Cancel Treasury Stock After Buyback Program

Morinaga Milk Industry Co., Ltd. ( (JP:2264) ) has shared an announcement.

Morinaga Milk Industry’s board has approved the cancellation of treasury stock, following an earlier decision to repurchase its own common shares on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. The cancellation, scheduled for March 31, 2026, will apply to all treasury shares acquired under a program authorizing up to 3.8 million shares and ¥10 billion in buybacks, signaling a capital policy focused on shareholder returns and balance sheet efficiency.

By eliminating the repurchased shares, Morinaga Milk will reduce the total number of shares outstanding, which can enhance per-share metrics and potentially support its share price.
