YCP Holdings (Global) Limited, traded on the Tokyo Stock Exchange's Growth market under code 9257, said its wholly owned subsidiary YCP Japan bought 600,000 Japanese Depositary Receipts (JDRs) tied to the company's common shares on July 13, 2026. The purchase cost ¥392.4mn and was carried out through ToSTNeT-2, the Tokyo Stock Exchange's off-auction closing-price trading system. Under the same mandate, YCP Japan can also buy shares through ordinary discretionary-mandate trading on the exchange floor; the July 13 trade used ToSTNeT-2 instead.
The trade falls under a repurchase mandate that YCP Japan's board approved on April 24, 2026. The mandate caps buying at 3,185,000 JDRs, equal to 14.25% of shares outstanding excluding treasury stock, or ¥2.43bn (US$15mn), whichever limit arrives first. YCP Holdings converted the dollar figure at ¥162.16 per dollar, the mid-rate Mizuho Bank quoted for customer spot transactions on July 10, 2026. The buying window runs from May 18 to December 30, 2026.
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Unit cap under mandate | 3,185,000 JDRs (14.25% of shares outstanding) |
| Value cap under mandate | ¥2.43bn (US$15mn) |
| Mandate window | May 18 to December 30, 2026 |
| July 13 purchase | 600,000 JDRs for ¥392.4mn via ToSTNeT-2 |
| Cumulative under mandate | 2,992,200 JDRs for ¥2.28bn |
Including the July 13 trade, YCP Japan has now bought 2,992,200 JDRs under the mandate, for a cumulative ¥2.28bn. Both figures sit close to the mandate's ceilings, with more than five months still left before the December 30 deadline. The filing itself does not break out how much of the ¥2.43bn ceiling remains unspent, only the cumulative total already committed.
The disclosure lists Hiroki Ishida, YCP Holdings' director and group CEO, as the company's representative, with Tetsuro Nakamura of the investor relations group named as the contact. The filing does not say whether YCP Japan intends to seek a new repurchase resolution once the current mandate is spent or lapses, only that this latest 600,000-unit purchase has been completed and reported.
