Noritz ( (JP:5943) ) has provided an update.
Noritz Corporation’s board of directors has decided to oppose two shareholder proposal packages submitted by LIM Japan Event Master Fund and Nippon Active Value Fund for the company’s March 27, 2026 annual general meeting. The first set of proposals from LIM, which holds about 0.07% of voting rights, seeks to abolish Noritz’s recently approved takeover response policy, mandate the sale of cross-shareholdings, require individual disclosure of directors’ remuneration, and change capital allocation through surplus appropriation and treasury share acquisition.
The board rejects the call to scrap its anti-takeover policy, arguing that as a provider of hot-water and related infrastructure with a significant social mission, it must ensure that any large-scale share purchases do not undermine long-term corporate value or the common interests of shareholders. Noritz maintains that its policy is not meant to block all takeovers but to secure sufficient information and deliberation time for shareholders and the board when facing potential large-scale acquisitions, and therefore sees the activist proposals as misaligned with its governance framework and perceived public-interest role.
The most recent analyst rating on (JP:5943) stock is a Hold with a Yen2144.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Noritz stock, see the JP:5943 Stock Forecast page.
