# Ajinomoto to Dispose Treasury Shares for Executive Stock Incentive Plan

Ajinomoto Co ( (JP:2802) ) has issued an announcement.

Ajinomoto has approved the disposal of 751,000 treasury shares, worth about 4.16 billion yen at 5,536 yen per share, to The Master Trust Bank of Japan for use in its Board Incentive Plan Trust. The shares are earmarked for medium-term stock-based incentives for executive officers, linking their compensation more closely to company performance and share value.

The program, originally introduced in 2017, is being continued and partially amended to strengthen alignment between executives and shareholders and to support medium- to long-term value creation. The planned share disposal will cause an estimated dilution of 0.08 percent of issued shares and voting rights, and Ajinomoto expects the impact on the stock market to be minor, arguing that the pricing method protects existing shareholder interests.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:2802) stock is a Buy  
 with a Yen6700.00 price target.
