(Note)
1. Offering though over-allotment relates to the domestic offering and the domestic underwriting which Daiwa Securities Co., Ltd. conducted in Japan as a result of taking into consideration the demand situation.

2. In connection with the offering through over-allotment, Rakuten Bank passed a resolution to issue new shares at its Board of Directors meeting held on March 22, 2023. Also, Daiwa Securities Co., Ltd. may purchase Rakuten Bank Shares up to the limit on the Stock Exchange between April 21, 2023 and May 19, 2023, after consulting with Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities Co., Ltd., Mizuho Securities Co., Ltd., Goldman Sachs Japan Co. Ltd., and SMBC Nikko Securities Inc., to return shares borrowed from the Company.

2. Impact on consolidated financial statements
 Since the Company will own 63.3% of the total number of issued shares of Rakuten Bank even after the transactions in (1) and (2) above, transactions (1) and (2) above fall under the category of sale of a portion of the shares of a subsidiary with which the Company continues to have a controlling relationship.
 Therefore, the difference in change in equity and gains/losses on sales of shares (before tax) related to (1) and (2) above are recorded as a decrease in capital surplus. As a result, in the second quarter of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023 (as of the date of this release), capital surplus should decrease by approximately 7 billion yen, and non-controlling interests should increase by approximately 85 billion yen.
