Jan. 07, 2016 TSE Decision on Transitioning to 100-share Trading Units

 

Stock exchanges nationwide hereby announce that the deadline for transitioning to 100-share trading units has been set as indicated below. The joint decision comes after reviewing responses from 1000-share companies to the “Survey on Transition to 100-share Trading Units”.

Deadline for Transition to 100-share lots: October 1, 2018

Domestic stock exchanges have been pushing to transition to a single trading unit of 100 shares for the purpose of improving market convenience for investors as per the “Action Plan for Consolidating Trading Units” that was released in November 2007.

Counting on the cooperation and understanding of listed companies, stock exchanges have successfully reduced the sizes of trading units from the former eight lots to the two lots of 100 and 1000 shares as of last year. Moreover, since the April 2014 deadline for bringing the lots sizes down to two a year and a half ago, over 150 listed companies have transitioned to the 100-share trading unit. As a result, stocks for approximately 73% of all listed companies are currently being traded in 100-share lots.
