Mizuho Financial Group submitted a Form 6-K to clarify media reports about a potential investment in Rakuten Bank, Ltd. The company states that the information reported by Yomiuri Shimbun was not announced by Mizuho. It confirms that various examinations are underway, including the possibility of investing in Rakuten Bank, based on a February 25, 2026 announcement by Rakuten Group and Rakuten Bank about renewed discussions on reorganizing Rakuten’s FinTech business. Mizuho emphasizes that no decision has been made at present and commits to disclosing any pertinent information in a timely and appropriate manner once a decision is reached.
Mizuho Financial Group, Inc. reports that its Board of Directors has decided to oppose a shareholder proposal related to Orient Corporation. The proposal would amend the Articles of Incorporation to require annual estimates and disclosure of key Basel regulatory metrics if Orient Corporation became a consolidated subsidiary.
The board argues that disclosing estimates based on such assumptions could mislead investors into thinking a consolidation decision has been made, and could confuse speculative figures with audited financials and officially calculated capital ratios. It also states that detailed estimation and disclosure requirements for a specific equity-method investee are inappropriate for inclusion in the Articles of Incorporation.
