-- SMS Co (TYO:2175) will amend the exercise conditions for its paid-in stock options to exclude the impact of reduced amortization expenses following an impairment loss, according to a Tuesday filing on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
The changes apply to the company's 20th and 21st stock acquisition rights, which carry performance-based conditions tied to adjusted operating income for fiscal 2027 and fiscal 2028, respectively.
SMS said it expects amortization expenses tied to intangible assets to decline by about 1.5 billion yen annually from fiscal 2027 after recognizing an impairment loss in its overseas business for the fiscal year ended March 2026.
