Stock Perks

Rights day

End of June, but need to hold from end of December

Details

Selection of company products, mostly canned foods and juices.

If you hold the stock for 10 years, you will get a 1-time anniversary gift.

Requirements

The rights date is at the end of June, but it requires 6 months of holding the stock to be eligible, so you'll have to buy the stock by the end of December.

100 shares - 2,000 yen worth of products.

1,000 shares - 6,000 yen worth of products.

If you hold 100 shares or more for 10 years, you will get a special anniversary gift, and it seems like you will get this every 10 years if you keep holding it.

Comment

You'll get a nice variety of products, such as tomato juice, smoothies, pasta sauce, and things like that. The 1,000 share perk contains the same products as the 100 share one but with some additions. It seems like a lot of the extra value of the 1,000 share pack is used by supplements and other health-related products, so I don't think it's worth scaling up to that.

The 10 year anniversary gift is currently a couple cans of juice in exclusive packaging, and 2 fancy glasses that are apparently made to drink tomato juice from. Not the most exciting gift for such a long holding period, but the normal perk is good enough that it makes for a nice extra if you're long on the company.
