Tokai Carbon Co., Ltd. has approved a share repurchase of up to 11,210,700 common shares, representing about 5.25% of its outstanding stock excluding treasury shares, for a total acquisition value of approximately ¥15 billion. The move is framed as part of the company’s ongoing efforts to improve capital efficiency, exercise flexible capital policies and strengthen shareholder returns.

The buyback will be conducted on May 14, 2026 through the Tokyo Stock Exchange’s off-auction own share repurchase trading system, ToSTNeT-3, at a benchmark price of ¥1,338 per share, using a Fully Committed Share Repurchase structure. Under this Japanese ASR-style arrangement, Nomura Securities will borrow Tokai Carbon shares from existing shareholders to ensure execution of the planned volume, with the final number of shares effectively aligned to the average market price over a defined period, adding sophistication and execution certainty to the company’s capital allocation program.
