NGK completes 6,250,000-share cancellation, leaving 285,993,496 issued shares

The company canceled 6,250,000 common shares on June 1, leaving 285,993,496 shares outstanding after the transaction. The notice closes a previously approved step under an April 30 board resolution; it is a capital-structure update, not a fresh buyback plan.

NGK has completed the cancellation of 6,250,000 common shares, effective June 1, leaving the company with 285,993,496 issued shares after the transaction. The company said the step was taken under Article 178 of the Companies Act and followed a board resolution passed on April 30.

For readers trying to pin down the new supply picture, that post-cancellation total is the number to keep. NGK presents 285,993,496 shares as its issued-share total after the cancellation, giving investors a clean updated share count for future filings.

The filing is also deliberately narrow. It states that the canceled securities were ordinary shares and confirms the cancellation has been completed, but it does not add new information on purchase cost, a new buyback authorization or plans for further repurchases.

Bottom line, this announcement closes a previously approved step rather than opening a new one: NGK says the buyback-related cancellation is complete, and the company's share count is now reduced by the exact number retired.
