Seven Bank’s Transition to Autonomous Management and Equity-Method Affiliate Status

「As a result of this transfer, our group's voting rights ratio in Seven Bank became 39.9%. Accordingly, Seven Bank and its 9 subsidiaries were excluded from the scope of consolidation, and Seven Bank became an equity-method affiliate.」

「As a result, we determined that enabling Seven Bank to operate under a more autonomous management structure would allow it to collaborate with a broader range of partners, develop higher-value-added businesses and achieve further growth, while also enabling it to pursue various capital policies with greater agility in response to changes in its business environment, thereby contributing to improvements in Seven Bank's corporate value and shareholder value. Seven Bank announced on 19 June 2025 that it would acquire treasury shares, and our subsidiaries decided to participate in the repurchase by tendering some or all of their holdings of Seven Bank shares. Accordingly, Seven Bank and its 9 subsidiaries were excluded from the scope of consolidation, and Seven Bank became an equity-method affiliate.」
