Nomura Holdings Inc. (NRSCF), as guarantor, disclosed terms for a $7,044,000 aggregate-face-amount issuance of structured notes by Nomura America Finance, LLC. The terms list $6,991,170 in net proceeds to the issuer after a $52,830 underwriting discount; the original issue price is 100% of face amount. At the October 15, 2026 trade date, the estimated value was $986.00 per $1,000 face amount, below the original issue price.
The notes reference the S&P 500, Russell 2000 and Nasdaq-100 indexes individually. A contingent coupon pays $10.00 per $1,000 face amount (1.00% monthly, with potential for up to 12.00% per annum) only when every index closes at or above 70% of its initial level on the observation date; otherwise, the coupon is $0. If not redeemed, the October 19, 2028 maturity cash settlement depends on the least-performing index: if every final level is at or above its 70% trigger buffer, it returns $1,000 per $1,000 face amount; below that buffer, principal is exposed to the least-performing index return and may be lost entirely. Cash settlement is capped at face amount despite index appreciation. Nomura America Finance, LLC may redeem all, but not part, on coupon payment dates from January 20, 2027 through September 19, 2028, for $1,000 per $1,000 plus any coupon due. The notes are unsecured obligations of Nomura America Finance, LLC and are guaranteed by Nomura Holdings Inc.
