COTA CO., LTD. has announced a planned change in its top management, with current Representative Director and President Hiroteru Oda slated to become Chairman and Representative Director, while Director and General Manager of Sales Department 2, Shigeharu Yoshida, is set to be promoted to Representative Director and President. The transition, aimed at reinforcing the company’s management structure for sustainable growth, will take effect in mid-June 2026 pending formal shareholder approval, signaling continuity in leadership as Yoshida, a long-time company veteran, steps into the chief executive role.
This management reshuffle underscores COTA’s intention to balance stability with renewal at the executive level, as Oda remains in a key leadership position while day-to-day management shifts to Yoshida. For stakeholders, the appointment of an internally trained executive with deep sales experience suggests a focus on strengthening market execution and sustaining long-term performance in the competitive beauty and cosmetics sector.

Cota Co., Ltd. has resolved to cancel 2,103,200 shares of its common stock, representing 6.39% of its issued shares, with the cancellation scheduled for March 27, 2026. Following this move, the company’s total issued shares will decrease to 30,831,463 before a planned 1.05-for-1 stock split that will lift the count to 32,373,036 shares.
Alongside the cancellation, Cota adopted a basic policy capping treasury share holdings at roughly 10% of total issued shares, committing in principle to cancel any excess above that threshold. The measures signal a disciplined approach to capital management, aiming to optimize share structure and potentially enhance shareholder value while providing clearer guidance on future use and cancellation of treasury stock.
