Notice Regarding the Results of the Tender Offer for the Shares of Shinsei Bank,

Limited (Securities Code: 8303) and Changes in Subsidiaries

SBI Holdings, Inc. ("SBIHD") and its wholly owned subsidiary company, SBI Regional Bank Holdings Co., Ltd. (the "Tender Offeror", together with SBIHD, the "SBIHD Parties") herein announce the results of the tender offer which the Tender Offeror conducted to acquire the common shares (the "Target Company Shares") of Shinsei Bank, Limited (listed on the First Section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange ("TSE"); securities code: 8303; the "Target Company") pursuant to the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act (Act No. 25 of 1948, as amended; the "Act") (the "Tender Offer"), following its completion as of December 10, 2021. After adding the Target Company Shares to be acquired by the Tender Offeror through the Tender Offer to the Target Company Shares already held by the SBIHD Parties, the ownership ratio of the voting rights held by the SBIHD Parties will be 47.77%. Accordingly, after discussions and considerations with SBIHD's auditing firm, etc., as it may be determined that the SBIHD Parties own a sufficient ratio of the Target Company's voting rights to make the Target Company a consolidated subsidiary of SBIHD, the SBIHD Parties also announce that it is planned that the Target Company will become a consolidated subsidiary of SBIHD as of December 17, 2021 (the commencement date of settlement for the Tender Offer).

As the SBIHD Parties' largest purpose of the Tender Offer was to acquire sufficient voting

rights of the Target Company to make the Target Company its consolidated subsidiary and to establish and reinforce a business alliance relationship between the SBIHD Group and the Target Company Group, the Tender Offer was complete with favorable results to the SBIHD Parties. The SBIHD Parties express their sincere appreciation towards the shareholders of the Target Company who tendered shares in the Tender Offer.

The Target Company and the SBIHD Parties will both cooperate to enhance the corporate value of the Target Company.
