An announcement from Yamagata Bank, Ltd. ( (JP:8344) ) is now available.
The Yamagata Bank, Ltd. has resolved to repurchase up to 449,100 of its common shares, equivalent to 1.43% of its outstanding shares excluding treasury stock, via the Tokyo Stock Exchange’s off-auction own share repurchase system (ToSTNeT-3). The buyback will be executed on February 12, 2026 at a fixed price of 2,672 yen per share, matching the February 10 closing price, with a maximum outlay of 1.2 billion yen.

The move signals an effort to enhance capital efficiency and shareholder value, although the bank notes that market conditions could prevent it from completing the full planned repurchase, and final results will be disclosed after trading on February 12, 2026.
