Nippon Yakin Kogyo Co., Ltd. ( (JP:5480) ) has provided an announcement.

Nippon Yakin Kogyo has decided to abolish its long-standing takeover response policy, originally introduced in 2007 to regulate large-scale purchases of its shares and most recently renewed in 2023. The board resolved on May 8, 2026, that the policy will lapse at the close of the June 25, 2026 shareholders’ meeting, following a review that considered investor feedback, evolving takeover practices, and changes in the company’s operating environment.

The company emphasized that ending the formal takeover defense will not alter its commitment to enhancing corporate value and protecting the common interests of shareholders. In any future large-scale share acquisitions, Nippon Yakin plans to demand sufficient information and time for evaluation, publicly communicate the board’s stance, and take legally permitted measures to ensure shareholders can make informed decisions.
