Rakuten Rolls Out Broad Stock Option Plan to Align Staff With Shareholders

An update from Rakuten ( (JP:4755) ) is now available.

Rakuten Group has approved the issuance of new share acquisition rights as stock options to five company directors and 6,168 employees at its subsidiaries, covering up to 15,149,800 common shares. These options, issued without cash payment and exercisable over ten years, are priced at one yen per right and are structured so that exercise begins one year after issuance and vests in stages, fully opening after four years.

By aligning employees’ interests with shareholders, enhancing recruitment and retention in competitive labor markets, and reinforcing unity across its global ecosystem, Rakuten aims to support long-term performance, stock price growth, and expansion of its integrated platform in Japan and abroad.
