Masaki Shoji Co., Ltd. has trimmed its holding in Kawaguchi Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. to 57,300 shares, equal to 4.70% of the company, from 5.81% in the previous report. The disclosure says the reporting trigger arose on May 22, after the stake had fallen by more than 1 percentage point since the last change report.

For readers who would rather skip the filing mechanics, the key numbers are straightforward:

  • Current holding: 57,300 shares, or 4.70%
  • Previous holding ratio: 5.81%
  • Shares outstanding used in the calculation: 1,220,000
  • Disposal window shown in the recent-trading section: April 2 to May 8

The excerpt lists 600 shares sold on April 2, followed by further market disposals through April and another 700 shares on May 8. In other words, this reads as a steady trim rather than a single block sale. The filing gives the ownership math, but not a specific reason for the selling.
