Nichiban Co., Ltd. has completed a share repurchase program authorized by its board on March 10, 2026, acquiring 176,500 common shares for a total of 342,586,500 yen via the Tokyo Stock Exchange’s off-auction own share repurchase trading system, ToSTNeT-3. This buyback, which fell within an approved ceiling of 200,000 shares and 450,000,000 yen, is aimed at enabling more flexible capital policies in response to changes in the business environment, signaling a proactive approach to balance sheet management and potential support for shareholder value.
