SBI Holdings to issue new employee stock options

SBI Holdings, Inc. announced on December 9, 2025, that its board of directors resolved to issue 33,000 tax-qualified stock acquisition rights, dubbed "2025 Second Stock Acquisition Rights," to employees and executive officers. This initiative aims to strengthen group unity, enhance motivation, and drive mid-to-long-term performance growth and corporate value. No payment is required for these stock acquisition rights, which are considered incentive compensation.

Upon full exercise, these rights will result in the delivery of 3,300,000 common shares, representing approximately 0.5% of the total issued shares. When combined with the "2025 First Stock Acquisition Rights" previously announced, the total potential share delivery from exercised stock acquisition rights rises to 6,600,000 shares, or roughly 1.0% of issued shares.

The exercise price for these options will be the closing price of SBI Holdings' common stock on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on December 9, 2025. The exercise period for the "2025 Second Stock Acquisition Rights" is set from July 2, 2029, to September 29, 2034, with the allotment date scheduled for January 28, 2026.
