Kokuyo Co., Ltd. has approved the introduction of a performance-linked stock compensation plan for its corporate and managing officers, aligning executive pay more closely with the company’s medium-term strategy and financial targets. The scheme is built around the firm’s fourth medium-term plan, which prioritizes EBITDA and other value-creation metrics as key measures of progress.
The new compensation structure consists of two plans: one tied to consolidated ROE and consolidated EBITDA, and another linked to relative total shareholder return, with defined multi-year evaluation periods starting in 2026. Awards will be delivered as a mix of cash and restricted stock, subject to continued eligibility, and include a clawback clause, reinforcing corporate governance and further aligning management incentives with shareholder interests.
