CCBJH: Ends ¥30bn buyback, plans 7m-share cancellation

CCBJH has completed the share buyback approved by its board in August 2025. The total amount spent came close to the ¥30 billion cap, while the number of shares acquired remained below the 15 million-share limit.

• October purchases: 741,800 shares acquired for about ¥2.87 billion from Oct. 1 to 30
• Method: Open-market purchases on the Tokyo Stock Exchange
• Original resolution: Buyback period ran from Nov. 1, 2025, to Oct. 31, 2026

The buyback was part of measures aimed at shareholder returns and improving capital efficiency. CCBJH ended the program after the cumulative value of shares bought in the market came close to the authorized cap.

After completing the buyback, CCBJH will cancel part of its treasury shares and establish a new purchase limit. The cancellation is scheduled for Nov. 10, 2026, and the new buyback is set to begin on Nov. 1. Cancellation followed by another buyback

• Shares to cancel: Treasury shares held as of Oct. 30, 2026; shares held by the director compensation BIP trust and the share-award ESOP trust are excluded from the treasury share count
• New buyback limit: A plan announced on July 30, 2026, running through Oct. 31, 2027
• Company's aim: Shareholder returns and improved capital efficiency

Canceling treasury shares will reduce the total number of shares issued, but does not itself constitute a new purchase. CCBJH plans to make the new purchases in the market, with the actual amount and number of shares subject to the stated limits.
