JPMC's board scrapped this year's dividend the same day it backed a take-private tender offer priced on the assumption shareholders would get no payout at all.
The company will dispose of 39,679 treasury shares to 370 employees on June 26 at ¥1,315 a share, for ¥52,177,885 in total. In most cases the stock stays restricted until just after retirement, so this is as much a retention tool as a pay package.
