Determination of the Reset Fixed Rate and the U.S. Treasury Rate: |
|
The Reset Fixed Rate and the U.S. Treasury Rate in respect of each reset fixed rate period shall be determined by The Bank of New York Mellon
as calculation agent (the Calculation Agent) as soon as practicable after 5.00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Reset Determination Date.
U.S. Treasury Rate means, with respect to a reset fixed rate period, the rate per annum equal to: (1) the arithmetic average, as determined by
the Calculation Agent, of the yields on actively traded U.S. Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity for the maturity of five years (Yields) for the five consecutive New York Business Days (as defined below) immediately prior
to the Reset Determination Date based on information appearing in the statistical release designated H.15 (or any successor publication that reports Yields) most recently published by the Board of Governors of the U.S. Federal Reserve
System as of 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Reset Determination Date; provided that if the Yield is not available through such release (or any successor publication) for any relevant New York Business Day, then the arithmetic average will be
determined based on the Yields for the remaining New York Business Days during the five New York Business Day period described above (provided further that if the Yield is available for only a single New York Business Day during such five New York
Business Day period, then U.S. Treasury Rate will mean the single-day Yield for such day); or (2) if no information is available to determine the U.S. Treasury Rate in accordance with the
method set forth in (1) above by using the Yield for at least a single New York Business Day during the five New York Business Day period described above, then the annualized yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue (as defined below)
calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price (as defined below) as of the Reset Determination Date.
If the U.S. Treasury Rate cannot be determined, for whatever reason, as described under
(1) or (2) above, U.S. Treasury Rate means the rate per annum equal to the last reported Yield, as determined by the Calculation Agent, based on information appearing in the statistical release designated H.15 (or any
successor publication that reports Yields) last published by the Board of Governors of the U.S. Federal Reserve System as of 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Reset Determination Date.
For purposes of determining the U.S. Treasury Rate, New York Business Day
means a day which is not a day on which banking institutions in New York City are authorized by law or regulation to close, regardless of whether the over-the-counter
market for actively traded U.S. Treasury securities is open or closed. |
|
|
|
|
Comparable Treasury Issue means, with respect to a reset fixed rate period, the U.S. Treasury security that is selected by the Company (and notified to the Calculation Agent) with a maturity date on or about (but not
more than 30 calendar days before or after) the Reset Date immediately after the last day of the reset fixed rate period and that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues
of corporate debt securities denominated in U.S. dollars and having a maturity of five years; provided, however, that the selection of the Comparable Treasury Issue shall be at the sole discretion and judgement of the Company, and that such
determination shall be final and conclusive for all purposes and binding on the Calculation Agent, the trustee, the paying agent and the holders of the Securities. |
2
|
|
|
|
|
Comparable Treasury Price means, with respect to a Reset Determination Date, (i) the arithmetic average, as determined by the Calculation Agent, of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations (as defined below) for the
Comparable Treasury Issue as of the Reset Determination Date, after excluding the highest and lowest of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if fewer than five such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations are received, the arithmetic
average, as determined by the Calculation Agent, of all such quotations, or (iii) if fewer than two such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations are received, then the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation as quoted by a Reference Treasury Dealer
(as defined below). |
|
|
|
|
Reference Treasury Dealer means each of up to five banks selected by the Company (and notified to the Calculation Agent), or the affiliates of such banks, which are (i) primary U.S. Treasury securities dealers, and
their respective successors, or (ii) market makers in pricing corporate bond issues denominated in U.S. dollars; provided, however, that the selection of the Reference Treasury Dealers shall be at the sole discretion and judgement of the
Company, and that such determination shall be final and conclusive for all purposes and binding on the Calculation Agent, the trustee, the paying agent and the holders of the Securities. |
|
|
|
|
Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and a Reset Determination Date, the arithmetic average, as determined by the Calculation Agent, of the bid and asked prices quoted
to the Company (and notified to the Calculation Agent) by such Reference Treasury Dealer for the Comparable Treasury Issue, expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount, approximately at 11:00 a.m. (New York City time), on the
Reset Determination Date. |
|
|
Optional Cancellation of Interest Payments: |
|
If the Company determines that it is necessary to cancel payment of the interest on the Securities at any time and in its sole discretion,
the Company may cancel payment of all or part of the interest accrued on the Securities on an interest payment date.
Among other circumstances, the Company will make a determination to cancel interest payments if and to the extent the Company fails to meet the applicable
regulatory capital buffer requirements and implements a capital distribution constraints plan submitted to the FSA (as defined in the Preliminary Prospectus) pursuant to an order of the FSA under the Japanese capital distribution constraints system.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may determine that it is necessary to cancel payments of interest on the Securities due to other factors in its sole discretion. |
|
|
Mandatory Cancellation of Interest Payments: |
|
The Company will be prohibited from paying, and shall cancel, all or part of the interest on the Securities on an interest payment date, if
and to the extent that the interest payable on the Securities on such interest payment date exceeds the Interest Payable Amount.
Interest Payable Amount means, in respect of any interest payment date, the product of the Adjusted Distributable Amounts on such interest payment
date and a ratio, the numerator of which is the amount of interest (including additional amounts with respect thereto, if any) that should have been paid on the Securities on such interest payment date, and the denominator of which is the aggregate
amount of interest (including additional amounts with respect thereto, if any) that should have been paid on the Securities on such interest payment date and dividends or interest (including any amounts with respect thereto substantially similar to
additional amounts, if any) that should have been paid in respect of any Senior Dividend Preferred Shares (as defined in the Preliminary Prospectus) and any Parity Securities (as defined in the Preliminary Prospectus) on the same date as such
interest payment date (rounding any amount less than a whole cent down to the nearest whole cent). |
3
|
|
|
|
|
Adjusted Distributable Amounts means, in respect of any date, the distributable amounts of the Company on such date calculated in accordance with the Company Law (as defined in the Preliminary Prospectus), after
deducting the sum of any dividend or interest (including additional amounts with respect thereto, or any amounts with respect thereto substantially similar to additional amounts, as applicable, if any) that has been paid in respect of the
Securities, any Parity Securities and any Junior Securities (as defined in the Preliminary Prospectus) from the beginning of the fiscal year of the Company in which such date falls until the date immediately preceding such date. |
|
|
Agreement to Interest Cancellation: |
|
By subscribing for, purchasing or otherwise acquiring the Securities, holders of the Securities acknowledge and agree to a cancellation of interest payments under the terms of the Securities. |
|
|
Principal Write-Down Upon a Capital Ratio Event: |
|
If a Capital Ratio Event (as defined in the Preliminary Prospectus) occurs, on a Going Concern Write-Down Date (as defined below), the
principal amount of the Securities will be written down by an amount equal to the relevant Going Concern Write-Down Amount (as defined in the Preliminary Prospectus), and holders of the Securities will be deemed to have irrevocably waived their
right to claim or receive payments of the principal of the Securities to the extent of the relevant Going Concern Write-Down Amount or interest on the relevant Going Concern Write-Down Amount.
A Capital Ratio Event will be deemed to have occurred when the
Companys consolidated Common Equity Tier 1 ratio that the Company has reported or publicly announced in a manner set forth in the Preliminary Prospectus, declines below 5.125%, with certain exceptions set forth in the Preliminary
Prospectus. Going Concern Write-Down Date means the date that is
determined by the Company after consultation with the FSA or any other relevant Japanese supervisory authority and shall be no later than fifteen Business Days following the date of the relevant Going Concern Write-Down Notice (as defined in the
Preliminary Prospectus). Following any write-down of principal amount upon a
Capital Ratio Event, the Securities may be subject to a write-up in certain limited circumstances. |
|
|
Principal Write-Down and Cancellation Upon a Non-Viability
Event: |
|
If a Non-Viability Event (as defined below) occurs, on a Write-Down and Cancellation Date (as defined
below), the full principal amount of the Securities will be permanently written down to nil, the Securities will be cancelled, and holders of the Securities will be deemed to have irrevocably waived their right to claim or receive any payment of
principal of or interest on the Securities. A
Non-Viability Event will be deemed to have occurred at the time that the Prime Minister of Japan confirms (nintei) that any measures (tokutei dai nigo sochi) set forth in Article 126-2, Paragraph 1, Item 2 of the Deposit Insurance Act of Japan (or any successor provision thereto) need to be applied to the Company. |

Write-Down and Cancellation Date means, upon the occurrence of a Non-Viability Event, the date that shall be determined by the Company after consultation with the FSA or any other
relevant Japanese supervisory authority and shall be no later than ten Business Days following the date of the Write-Down and Cancellation Notice (as defined in the Preliminary Prospectus). |
|
|
Principal Write-Down and Cancellation Upon a Bankruptcy Event: |
|
Immediately upon the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event (as defined in the Preliminary Prospectus), the full principal amount of the Securities will be permanently written down to nil, the Securities will be cancelled, and holders of
the Securities will be deemed to have irrevocably waived their right to claim or receive any payment of principal of or interest on the Securities. |

|
Agreement to Write-Down and Cancellation: |
|
By subscribing for, purchasing or otherwise acquiring the Securities, holders of the Securities acknowledge and agree to a principal write-down under the terms of the Securities. |
|
|
No Events of Default or Rights of Acceleration: |
|
Non-payment of principal of or interest on the Securities or breach of covenants in the Indenture or the Securities or any other event shall not constitute an event of default or an event of
acceleration under the Indenture or the Securities or give rise to any right of the holders or the trustee to declare the principal of or interest on the Securities to be due and payable or accelerate any payment of such principal or interest, and
there are no events of default or circumstances in respect of the Securities that entitle the holders of Securities or the trustee to require that the Securities become immediately due and payable. In addition, there is no right to require the
Company to redeem the Securities. |
|
|
Optional Redemption: |
|
The Securities may, subject to prior confirmation of the FSA (if such confirmation is required under the Applicable Banking Regulations (as defined in the Preliminary Prospectus)), be redeemed at the option of the Company, in whole,
but not in part, on January 15, 2029 or any subsequent Reset Date occurring on each five-year anniversary thereafter, on not less than 25 days nor more than 60 days prior notice to the holder of Securities and the trustee, at a redemption
price equal to 100% of the principal amount at issuance of the Securities plus accrued and unpaid interest to (but excluding) the date fixed for redemption, on the condition that the principal amount of the Securities then outstanding equals
the principal amount at issuance of the Securities. |
|
|
Optional Tax Redemption: |
|
The Securities may, subject to prior confirmation of the FSA (if such confirmation is required under the Applicable Banking Regulations), be redeemed at any time, at the option of the Company, in whole, but not in part, upon not
less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities on the date fixed for redemption plus accrued and unpaid interest to (but excluding) the date fixed for
redemption, if the Company determines that, as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws, regulations or rulings of Japan (or of any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) affecting taxation, or any change in the
official application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, which change or amendment becomes effective on or after the date of the final prospectus supplement relating to this offering, (i) the Company is, or on the next
interest payment date would be, required to pay any additional amounts in respect of Japanese taxes, or (ii) any interest on the Securities ceases to be treated as being a deductible expense for the purpose of the Companys corporate tax,
and in each case of (i) or (ii) above, such event cannot be avoided by the Company taking reasonable measures available to it. |
5

|
|
