Nomura Holdings, Inc. (“NHI”) and Nomura Asia Pacific Holdings Co., Ltd. (“NAPH”) conducted an Absorption-Type Company Split (“Company Split”) effective as of April 1, 2017 to have NAPH succeed a part of the rights and obligations, which were held by NHI in connection with its share management business, under the Absorption-Type Company Split Agreement entered into between NHI and NAPH on January 16, 2017. Therefore, NHI herein makes an ex-post facto disclosure concerning the Company Split.
