Notice Concerning Introduction of Shareholder Benefit Program
Toyota Motor Corporation (the “Company”) hereby announces that it has decided to introduce a shareholder benefit program as follows.
1. Purpose of Introduction
The Company deems the benefit of its shareholders an important element of its management policy, and its basic policy for shareholder returns is to reward long-term shareholders.
In appreciation of the ongoing support from our shareholders and with the aims of helping investors deepen their understanding of Toyota Group’s business operations through the use of related services and encouraging more investors to hold the Company’s shares for an extended period, the Company has decided to introduce a shareholder benefit program.
2. Overview
I. Eligible Shareholders
Shareholders who are recorded in the Company’s shareholder registry as of the record date (March 31 of each year) and who hold 100 or more shares of the Company’s common stock. The initial record date is March 31, 2025.
II. Details of Shareholder Benefits
① | Eligible shareholders will be awarded TOYOTA Wallet credits based on the number of shares held and the continuous holding period as of the record date, as outlined below. |
Number of shares held | Continuous holding period (Note 1) | Awarded credit (Note 2) (Credit equivalent to) |
||
1,000 shares or more (Note 3) |
5 years or more | JPY30,000 | ||
100 shares or more |
3 years or more
|
JPY3,000 | ||
1 year to less than 3 years
|
JPY1,000 | |||
Less than 1 year
|
JPY500 |
* | TOYOTA Wallet is an all-Toyota smartphone payment application provided by the Company, Toyota Financial Services Corporation, and Toyota Finance Corporation, which aims to realize a seamless service that can be used by anyone, anywhere in Japan, by improving the convenience of daily payments for customers, and to serve as a platform that will contribute to the mobility society in the future. To receive a TOYOTA Wallet credit, you need to install the TOYOTA Wallet application and register your customer information. For more details, please visit the following website. |

(Note 1) | Continuous holding refers to being recorded, looking back from the record date (March 31 of each year), in the Company’s shareholder registry of March 31 (including the record date) and September 30 under the same shareholder number without interruption. |
Continuous holding period
|
The number of times being recorded
|
|
5 years or more
|
11 times or more | |
3 years or more
|
7 times or more | |
1 year to less than 3 years
|
3 to 6 times | |
Less than 1 year
|
2 times or fewer |
(Note 2) | If a shareholder has acquired additional shares during the continuous holding period, resulting in falling under a different category as of the record date, the benefit will be adjusted accordingly. For instance, if a shareholder has held 100 shares for more than 5 years and subsequently increases their holding to 1,000 shares, the continuous holding period for the 1,000 shares category as of the record date will be less than 1 year. However, since the original 100 shares have been held for more than 3 years, the shareholder will be awarded a credit equivalent to JPY3,000. |
(Note 3) | The Company conducted a 5-for-1 stock split with a record date of September 30, 2021. The retrospective determination of the continuous holding period will be based on the post-split number of shares (this will affect the determination of a holding period of 5 years or more in the 1,000 shares category, and for the purpose of this determination, holding 200 shares or more as of the record date of September 30, 2021 or earlier will be considered equivalent to holding 1,000 shares as of the record date of March 31, 2022 and after). |
② | In addition to the benefits outlined in ①, eligible shareholders may enter a drawing for one of the following prizes (A to E), regardless of the number of shares held or the continuous holding period. If selected, the shareholder will receive the corresponding prize. |
