Note: The Yakult Employee Stock Ownership Association (the "Stock Ownership Association") shall, after the approval by its board at a
meeting to be held today, take sufficient time to notify the relevant individuals and solicit
prospective members by
promoting enrollment in the Stock Ownership Association.
For this reason, the total number of shares to be
disposed and the total value of shares to be disposed denote the maximum value, and these are expected to be finalized after the conclusion of
enrollment.
Reason of the change
The changes to the total number of shares to be disposed and the total value of shares to be disposed are due to the fact that employees' enrollment in the Stock Ownership Association ended and the number of the association members was finalized.
Future outlook
The impact of this third-party allotment on the Company's consolidated financial results for the fiscal year ending March 2026 is expected to be negligible.
