At a meeting held on April 27, 2017, the Board of Directors of FANUC CORPORATION resolved to cancel its treasury shares as stated below based on our shareholder return policy announced in April 2015.

  1. Content of the cancellation

    4. Reason for the cancellation

      After we canceled our treasury shares in June 2016, we carried out purchases of the shares less than one unit. As a result, the number of our treasury shares increased.

We will, as a general rule, cancel any portion exceeding this limit every fiscal year."
