SHIFT Issues Performance-Linked Employee Stock Options to Support SHIFT3000 Growth Plan

SHIFT ( (JP:3697) ) has shared an announcement.

SHIFT Inc. has approved the issuance of its 10th series of paid share options to 37 employees, designed as an incentive scheme to boost motivation, strengthen organizational cohesion, and accelerate growth while aligning staff interests with those of shareholders. The options, which could dilute existing shares by about 0.4% if fully exercised, feature an exercise price structure tied to the company’s performance, notably a consolidated adjusted operating profit target of ¥40 billion for the fiscal year ending August 2029, positioned as a milestone toward its broader “SHIFT3000” goals of ¥300 billion in sales and ¥65 billion in adjusted operating profit; management argues the structure is not on favorable terms, is priced at fair value, and that the potential dilution is reasonable given the expected enhancement of corporate and shareholder value.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:3697) stock is a Hold with a Yen1006.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on SHIFT stock, see the JP:3697 Stock Forecast page.
