Enhancements to Shareholder Benefits at Kuradashi
Kuradashi, a company headquartered in Shinagawa, Tokyo, has announced a significant update to its shareholder benefits program as decided in a recent board meeting led by CEO Kohei Kawamura. This move aims to express gratitude towards shareholders while enhancing their understanding of the company's mission to tackle social issues such as food waste through its innovative platform, the Social Good Market, Kuradashi.
Purpose of the Changes
The primary goal behind the modification of the benefits program is to amplify the appeal of investing in Kuradashi. The company seeks to encourage more shareholders to retain their stock holdings for the long term while deepening their connection with the company’s values and social contributions. By using the shareholder benefits as a medium, Kuradashi desires to foster a sense of community among stakeholders who resonate with its mission.
Details of the Changes
1. Overview of Modifications
The key change lies in the restructured approach to shareholder benefits, which will provide discount coupons valid on the Kuradashi marketplace instead of the previous 'Kuradashi Gift' items. The revised program offers an increased value, while new brackets are introduced for shareholders based on their holdings:
Number of Shares Held | Benefits Offered |
---|
----- | ----------- |
1 unit (100 shares) | Kuradashi Coupon worth ¥4,000 (¥2,000 x 2) |
2 units (200 shares) | Kuradashi Coupon worth ¥8,000 (¥2,000 x 4) |
3 units or more (300+) | Kuradashi Coupon worth ¥12,000 (¥2,000 x 6) |
Shareholders should note that only one coupon can be used per order, and the details regarding usage guidelines will be announced on the company’s website.
2. Timing of Changes
The updates will concern shareholders who are listed in the shareholder registry as of June 30, 2025, holding at least one unit of shares (100 shares). Forthcoming details on implementation will follow, with benefits expected to be distributed around mid-September to coincide with the annual shareholders' meeting.
