Nishi-Nippon Railroad Co., Ltd. ( (JP:9031) ) just unveiled an update.

Nishi-Nippon Railroad has approved a revision of its executive compensation framework that increases the role of stock-based pay for directors and titled executive officers residing in Japan. The company will abolish its medium-term performance-linked cash bonus and instead introduce restricted stock granted during officers’ terms of office alongside the existing retirement-based stock compensation.

Under the revamped scheme, term-of-office stock grants will serve as a fixed, position-based element, while retirement stock compensation will remain a variable component tied to achieving targets in the medium-term management plan. The system, implemented via an extended Board Incentive Plan Trust through August 2029, aims to deepen alignment between management and shareholders by linking a greater share of executive pay to the company’s share price and long-term corporate value.
