Suruga Bank ( (JP:8358) ) just unveiled an announcement.

Suruga Bank has disclosed the initial status of its board-approved share repurchase program, authorized in late April to buy back up to 5 million shares, or about 2.92% of its outstanding stock, for a maximum of 12 billion yen by year-end. The bank reported that it acquired no shares and incurred no costs between May 15 and May 18, underscoring a cautious start to the buyback plan.

Management also clarified that the bank will suspend repurchases while a trust-type stock compensation scheme for executives is actively purchasing shares, a window that runs until June 19, 2026. This coordination indicates an effort to balance shareholder returns with governance-linked equity incentives, and may influence the timing and scale of future buybacks over the remainder of the program period.
