Daiwa Securities Group concludes share repurchase program below maximums

Daiwa Securities Group Inc. concluded its share repurchase program on October 22, 2025, acquiring 46,596,600 shares of its common stock for a total of 49,999,975,650 yen. This marks the end of the buyback resolved by the board of directors on April 28, 2025. The acquisitions were made through market purchases via a trust bank.

The completed repurchase represents a significant portion of the authorized buyback, which had aimed for a maximum of 50m shares, or up to 50bn yen. The initial resolution had set the acquisition period from May 16, 2025, to March 24, 2026.

While the program concluded ahead of its original March 2026 deadline, the actual number of shares and total value repurchased were slightly under the authorized maximums. The total shares acquired constituted 3.53% of the outstanding shares excluding treasury stock, underscoring the company's commitment to shareholder returns.
