Nippon Hume to Scrap Anti-Takeover Measures and Shorten Director Terms

Nippon Hume Corp. ( (JP:5262) ) just unveiled an announcement.

Nippon Hume Corp. will abolish its long-standing anti-takeover policy when it expires at the close of the June 26, 2026 shareholders’ meeting and will delete the related provision on gratis allotment of share acquisition rights from its articles of incorporation. The board said the move follows a review that considered investor feedback, market trends and changes in its business environment, and pledged to rely on disclosure and legally available measures to protect corporate value if a hostile large-scale share purchase emerges.

To tighten governance and improve responsiveness, the company plans to shorten directors’ terms from two years to one year through a partial amendment of its articles. Existing directors elected in June 2025 will keep their current terms, while new provisions will allow the board to decide on dividends of surplus and eliminate overlapping clauses on interim dividends and share buybacks, streamlining capital policy decisions.
