Toyota Tsusho Corporation, the trading arm of the Toyota Group, has wrapped up a self-tender offer for its own shares, settling the purchase on June 24, 2026. The company acquired 118,095,432 common shares at ¥5,620 each, for a total outlay of ¥663.70bn.

The repurchase ran under a tender offer open from May 1 to June 2, 2026, after Toyota Tsusho's board approved the buyback on April 30, 2026. That resolution set a ceiling of 118,095,502 shares and ¥663,696,721,240 in spending. The completed purchase landed just under both figures, a completion rate the company reports as 99.99%, rounded down to two decimal places under its own convention.

The vehicle for the purchase was a tender offer aimed at existing shareholders rather than open-market buying, which let Toyota Tsusho retire a defined block of equity on a single settlement date instead of accumulating shares gradually. The near-complete fill against the board's ceiling suggests most eligible holders who wanted out tendered into the offer. Toyota Tsusho filed the resulting status report with the Kanto Local Finance Bureau on July 14, 2026, covering share purchases made during June under Article 24-6, Paragraph 1 of Japan's Financial Instruments and Exchange Act.

The filing does not say who tendered shares, why the company chose a tender offer over market purchases, or whether the acquired stock will be cancelled or held as treasury shares. Those details, if disclosed, would normally appear in Toyota Tsusho's original tender offer announcement rather than in this routine monthly settlement report.
