Mitsuba (TYO:7280) will implement a partial redemption of its Class D shares issued in June 2024 to streamline its capital structure and improve financial efficiency, according to a Friday filing on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

The company will redeem 10 billion yen in total on a phased basis, with at least 2.5 billion yen each fiscal year from fiscal 2026 onward, targeting early full retirement of the shares. Development Bank of Japan and Bank of Yokohama hold 5 billion yen each.

Mitsuba said the shares were issued to support financial stability and growth investment, but stronger-than-expected profitability and cash flow now allow earlier capital repayment.

The company said the move will proceed alongside continued investment in mobility-related growth areas and overseas expansion, with no material impact expected on performance.
