Introduction of our Shareholder Benefits
Since 2019, we have introduced a shareholder benefit program in showing our gratitude to our shareholders for their ongoing support and to encourage a medium- to long-term hold of our shares by increasing the attractiveness of investing in our Group.
Eligibility for Shareholder Benefit
Shareholders who hold 100 shares or more of the Company stock as of March 31 of each year.
Distribution Schedule
Scheduled to be shipped starting early July.
(Please note that the date and time of delivery cannot be specified.)
Content of Shareholder Benefits
Shareholders who hold 100 shares or more and are listed or recorded on the shareholder register as of March 31 each year will receive shareholder benefit points according to the number of shares held, as shown in the table below.
These points can be used on our shareholders-only website, "DKS Premium Shareholder Benefit Club," where shareholders can choose from more than 4,000 items.
The selection includes our own products, such as the deodorizing and disinfecting spray “NIOCAN” and the functional food "KAINOU TOCHUKASOU," as well as a wide range of gourmet foods (including rice and branded beef), sweets, beverages, premium alcoholic drinks, home appliances, and experience-based gifts.
In addition, the points can be exchanged for the shared shareholder benefit coin "WILLsCoin," which can be combined with points from other companies participating in the Premium Shareholder Benefit Club program.
The total balance of WILLsCoin can be checked on the "Premium Shareholder Benefit Club Portal" site.
