Yamaha Motor determined upgrading of Shareholder Special Benefit Plan
1. Reason
Yamaha Motor operates its shareholder special benefit plan with the following aims: to thank our shareholders for their ongoing support, to increase the attractiveness of investment in Yamaha Motor shares, and to increase the number of shareholders who will own shares for the medium to long term.
The company has determined to upgrade the Shareholder Special Benefit Plan, aiming to make it more attractive for use by more shareholders by further enhancing its content.
2. Content
1) The plan previously allowed shareholders noted or recorded in the Shareholder Registry as owning one round lot (100 shares) or more as at December 31 each year to select special benefits.
In future, the plan will instead provide special benefits for selection depending on the number of points accrued. Points shall be awarded based on the number of shares held and the length of time held.
2) In addition, the following year’s Yamaha Motor calendar will be presented to shareholders (who would like them) noted or recorded in the Shareholder Registry as owning ten round lots (1,000 shares) or more as at June 30 each year.
