Guidelines Concerning the Acquisition of Own Shares

Since repurchase of own shares (also known as share buybacks) involve a listed company buying its own shares from the market, persons related to the listed company may be concerned at whether such buybacks fall under market manipulation or their acts violate insider trading rules.
In order for companies intending to conduct share buybacks to deepen their understanding of restrictions relating to market manipulation and to facilitate appropriate share buybacks, Japan Exchange Regulation compiled and published the relevant guidelines.
