PayCloud Holdings Expands Shareholder Benefit Program with Digital Gifts

PayCloud Holdings, based in Minato, Tokyo, has recently announced an exciting update to its shareholder benefits program for the fiscal year ending in August 2025. Following the initial announcement on July 14, 2025, regarding the continuation of this program, the company revealed the introduction of additional digital gift choices for its shareholders. Notably, this new lineup includes offerings from the well-known seafood restaurant chain, Red Lobster, among a total of five new options.

Eligibility for Shareholder Benefits

To qualify for these enhanced digital gifts, shareholders must be listed in the company's shareholder register as of the end of August and hold a minimum of 300 shares (equivalent to three units of shares), regardless of the holding period. For the 2026 fiscal year and beyond, PayCloud plans to implement a new requirement stating that shareholders must continuously hold their shares for at least one year to be eligible for the benefits.

New Digital Gift Choices

With the recent updates, shareholders can now select from a total of ten different digital gifts. Here's how the tiered benefit structure works based on the number of shares owned:

- 300 shares to under 500 shares: A fixed digital gift valued at 5,000 yen.
- 500 shares and above: A fixed digital gift valued at 10,000 yen.

About the Selectable Shareholder Benefits Service

The 'Selectable Shareholder Benefits Service' allows publicly listed companies to select digital gifts issued by food chains and retail stores that utilize the 'Value Card', a cloud-based proprietary Pay service provided by Value Design. This initiative allows listed companies to broaden their spectrum of rewards by choosing from various digital gifts instead of being limited solely to their own products or services.
