LogProstyle Inc. (NYSE American: LGPS) (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President & Executive Officer: Yasuyuki Nozawa; hereinafter "LogProstyle" or the "Company") today announced the cancellation of its share buyback program and the consideration of implementing a special dividend.
The Company had been executing share repurchases, but after comprehensively considering the progress of acquisitions under this program and the current market environment, it has decided to cancel the program in order to achieve a more effective capital policy and enhance shareholder returns.
Furthermore, the Company's Board of Directors (hereinafter the "Board") is considering the implementation of a special dividend funded by the remaining balance of the unused share buyback authorization. The final decision regarding the special dividend is expected to be made at the Board meeting scheduled to be held on May 15, 2026.
The implementation of the special dividend is premised on satisfying certain conditions, including obtaining audit approval by the Japanese statutory auditor for the financial statements pertaining to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026. Additionally, whether the special dividend will be implemented, and if so, the dividend amount and payment timing, have not yet been determined at this time.
Future dividend determinations, payments, and their amounts will be decided at the discretion of the Board, taking into consideration factors the Board deems appropriate, such as the Company's financial condition, operating results, capital requirements, legal regulations, restrictions under debt covenants, regulatory constraints, and other factors. Furthermore, the Company's dividend policy may be modified, suspended, or halted at any time at the discretion of the Board.
Details regarding the special dividend (dividend amount, record date, payment date, etc.) will be announced promptly as soon as they are determined by the Board.
