Nippon Steel to Use Treasury Shares for Performance-Linked Executive Stock Plan

Nippon Steel Corporation will dispose of 3,130,300 treasury shares, worth about ¥2.1 billion at ¥673.9 per share, to a trust managed by Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank for a newly introduced performance-linked stock compensation system.
