An update from Showa Sangyo Co., Ltd. ( (JP:2004) ) is now available.

Showa Sangyo will abolish its takeover defense plan, originally introduced in 2008 and most recently renewed in 2023, when it expires at the close of its June 25, 2026 annual shareholders meeting. The board concluded that its new long-term “SHOWA VISION 2035” and the Medium-Term Management Plan 26–29, together with ongoing shareholder returns, now provide a more appropriate framework for protecting and enhancing corporate value and shareholder interests.

Following the abolition of the plan, the company says it will still address any large-scale share purchase attempts by securing sufficient time and information for investors and by disclosing its board’s views and potential alternative proposals under applicable law. In tandem, Showa Sangyo will seek shareholder approval to delete all takeover defense provisions, including Chapter 8 and Article 43, from its Articles of Incorporation effective June 25, 2026, signaling a formal shift away from pre-set anti-takeover mechanisms.
