Nippon Denko Co., Ltd. ( (JP:5563) ) has shared an update.

Nippon Denko’s board has resolved to abolish its longstanding response policy for large-scale purchases of the company’s shares, effectively discontinuing its anti-takeover measures when the current plan expires at the close of the 126th Annual General Meeting of Shareholders scheduled for late March 2026. Introduced in 2007 and periodically revised, most recently with shareholder approval in March 2023, the plan is being scrapped in light of evolving market practice around poison pills, feedback from domestic and overseas institutional investors, and changes in the company’s operating environment, signaling a more open stance toward potential share accumulations. Even without a formal plan, the company states it will still seek detailed disclosure and sufficient time for shareholder evaluation in the event of any large-scale purchase that could harm corporate value or shareholder interests, and will use measures available under law to protect stakeholders if necessary, underscoring a shift from pre-set takeover defenses to case-by-case governance responses.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:5563) stock is a Hold with a Yen410.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Nippon Denko Co., Ltd. stock, see the JP:5563 Stock Forecast page.
