Earnings, deals and disclosures from Japan's listed financials companies, in English.
Mizuho Financial Group is selling ¥209bn and ¥81bn tranches of unsecured perpetual bonds carrying debt-exemption and subordination clauses, the latest draw on a ¥3tn shelf registration filed with Japan's Kanto Local Finance Bureau.
SBI Holdings filed for a ¥170bn unsecured note and a separate ¥50bn dual-tranche bond on the same day, both charged against one ¥800bn shelf registration that still shows ¥610bn unclaimed while both payments await settlement.
New York-based Indus Capital Partners now holds 11.15% of Suruga Bank's voting rights, up from 9.38%, after an amended large-shareholding report filed with Japan's Kanto Local Finance Bureau on July 8.
The number: Aviation Capital Group's Irish funding arm signed a five-year, unsecured loan worth $1,476.5mn with a 33-bank syndicate led by DBS Bank. The catch: the covenants, an interest coverage floor of 1.5x, minimum net assets of $1.5bn, and an unsecured-asset cushion of 125% of unsecured liabilities, are tested against ACG's own consolidated balance sheet, not the borrowing entity's.
The move: Resona Holdings is raising ¥70bn through unsecured bonds, split between ¥40bn of three-year notes and ¥30bn of five-year debt, under a ¥400bn shelf effective until May 2028.
The move: Mizuho's plan pairs a ¥73.5bn 10-year subordinated note with a ¥107.0bn callable 10-year tranche. The catch is in the clauses, both carry write-down-upon-insolvency and subordination terms, so the filing reads as capital management as much as funding.
The 10-year issue is split between a ¥73.5bn tranche and a ¥107bn tranche with an early-redemption clause, leaving ¥2.81tn of unused capacity under Mizuho's current programme.
The move: shareholders approved a 28 yen year-end dividend worth ¥19.54bn and a ¥25bn transfer into general reserve, while re-electing president Tsutomu Yonemoto and a 10-director slate.
Fukushima Bank says its largest shareholder transferred all of its shares to SBI Shinsei Bank on June 30, changing the direct holder of the stake without disclosing a price or wider strategic rationale.
A three-holder bloc now discloses 15,402,330 shares and related securities in eole after Dynamic Solution Group lifted its own ratio above 10%, while the amendment also flags changes to collateral arrangements.
Read-through: Japan Asia Investment withdrew a charter amendment before its June 30 annual meeting after saying shareholder views warranted a rethink of the authorized-share change. A separate disclosure showed Governance Partners holds 23.63% of voting rights and shares the chief executive, adding context on the governance set-up, not proof of who objected.
Monex Group's chief executive will have a standard pay mix of 40% base pay, 25% short-term incentive and 35% long-term incentive under a policy overhaul that adds profit, ROE, relative TSR and mission goals to the scorecard.
The move: shareholders approved a capital reduction and surplus appropriation at the June 25 AGM with 97.93% support, though the report excerpt leaves the amount and effective date unclear.
The filing splits that between a 39.57% direct stake and 6.08% aggregated holding, while Nissan Securities Group says decision-making independence was intact and discloses one overlapping director.
Wedge Holdings says a ¥388mn loan to parent Showa Holdings has never been repaid and that immediate payment is difficult, so it is taking pledges over four subsidiary stakes while broader financing terms remain under negotiation. The collateral is mixed at best: two stakes carry disclosed values of ¥71.9mn and ¥30.9mn after haircuts, while two others are assigned memorandum values of ¥1 each.
Chiba Kogyo Bank will spend up to ¥2.38bn to buy back all 4,723 outstanding Second Series Seventh preferred shares on Aug. 17 at ¥503,427.40 each. The bank said this class goes first because it has the largest holder base, part of a capital-structure cleanup before a planned April 2027 holding-company setup with Chiba Bank that still needs shareholder and regulatory approval.
The insurer authorized market purchases of up to 12 million shares, or 2.50% of shares outstanding excluding treasury stock, between June 8 and September 30. In a separate T&D Financial Life sale filing, it said about half of the after-tax proceeds are earmarked for future shareholder returns after closing, making this look more like a capital-allocation sequence than a one-off gesture.
