SBI Holdings to record extraordinary gain from Shinsei Bank share sale

SBI Holdings announced an estimated extraordinary gain of JPY 42,003 million in its non-consolidated financial results for the fiscal year ending March 2026. This gain stems from the partial sale of SBI Shinsei Bank shares, at an assumed offering price of JPY 1,440 per share for 166,300,000 shares. The sale follows SBI Shinsei Bank's approval to list on the Tokyo Stock Exchange's Prime Market. The final gain will be determined upon SBI Shinsei Bank's listing on December 17, 2025. SBI Holdings will remain the parent company, with a minor impact expected on its consolidated results.

In related developments, SBI Holdings resolved to repurchase up to 10,000,000 shares (20,000,000 shares after a 2-for-1 stock split effective December 1, 2025) of its common stock, or JPY 50 billion, from December 2, 2025, to March 31, 2026. This move is intended to facilitate future M&A and capital alliances.

Furthermore, the company will issue 16,500 units of stock options to its and its subsidiaries' directors, at JPY 15,000 per unit, to incentivize long-term performance. These options will become exercisable if combined segment profits from financial services and crypto-asset businesses meet specific targets between March 2027 and March 2029. The aggregate number of shares issuable upon full exercise represents approximately 0.5% of current outstanding shares.
