CHICAGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–RMB Capital (“RMB”), a Chicago-based independent investment advisory firm, is a long-term shareholder of Nishikawa Rubber Industry Co., Ltd. (5161 JP, “Nishikawa”) and owns approximately 2% of the firm’s total outstanding shares.

RMB filed a shareholder proposal (Proposal #6) for Nishikawa’s 71st annual general shareholders meeting, scheduled on June 25, 2020, to buyback common stock of 88,000 shares, maximum 100 million yen. Even with the uncertainty due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Nishikawa holds 30.9 billion yen in cash and 14.3 billion in marketable securities on its balance sheet.
