Eligible shareholders

Shareholders who are listed or recorded in the shareholders’ register as of the record date at the end of March, who hold at least 100 of our shares (one unit) as of that record date, and who meet the prescribed continuous holding period.

Continuous holding period

The continuous holding period is determined by counting backward from the most recent record date.“Continuous holding period of 3 years or longer” means being listed or recorded in the shareholders’ register under the same shareholder number as of the end of March and the end of September for seven consecutive record dates, and meeting the prescribed number of shares as of each record date.
If multiple holding conditions apply, we will adopt the condition most favorable to the shareholder.

Example: A shareholder who, as of March 31, 2026, will have held for 3 years or longer (seven consecutive record dates) and will be eligible for the long-term holding benefit.
