SUMITOMO MITSUI FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. (symbol: SMFG) is the issuer of record for a Form 6-K filing submitted to the SEC.
SUMITOMO MITSUI FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. (SMFG) furnished a report that makes several exhibits part of its existing shelf registration statement on Form F-3, including the form of 6.950% Perpetual Subordinated Notes.
The report also files related legal opinions from Nagashima Ohno & Tsunematsu and Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, including an opinion on U.S. tax matters, along with associated consents, thereby completing key documentation for potential future issuances of these subordinated notes under the shelf.
SUMITOMO MITSUI FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. (SMFG) is offering U.S.$500,000,000 of 6.950% perpetual subordinated notes under a prospectus supplement. The notes have no maturity, are deeply subordinated, and rank pari passu with SMFG’s other subordinated debt.
The coupon is 6.950% per annum from September 10, 2026, paid semiannually on June 5 and December 5, starting December 5, 2026. From December 5, 2036 and every five years thereafter, the rate resets to the U.S. Treasury Rate plus 2.143%. SMFG may redeem the notes at 100% of principal on each reset date, or at any time for specified tax or regulatory reasons, subject to prior confirmation by the Japanese FSA and to loss‑absorption and subordination provisions.
The notes qualify as Additional Tier 1 Capital and are subject to permanent write‑down upon a Non‑Viability Event or Bankruptcy Event, and to going‑concern write‑down if SMFG’s Consolidated Common Equity Tier 1 Capital Ratio falls below 5.125%. Interest is fully discretionary and may also be mandatorily cancelled based on distributable amounts and regulatory capital constraints. The offering price is 100%, with $495,000,000 in gross proceeds to SMFG before expenses. SMFG intends to use the proceeds to fund a perpetual subordinated loan to Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation as internal TLAC. The notes will settle in DTC global form, are intended to list on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange’s Euro MTF Market, and include detailed selling and tax restrictions for Japan, the EEA, the U.K. and Singapore.
Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group, Inc. (SMFG) is offering U.S. dollar-denominated perpetual subordinated Additional Tier 1 (AT1) notes under its existing shelf registration. The notes pay fixed interest to December 5, 2036, then reset every five years to the U.S. Treasury Rate plus a margin, and are deeply subordinated obligations.
The notes feature no maturity, no investor put, no events of default and no acceleration. SMFG may redeem them only on specified reset dates or upon certain tax or regulatory events, and any redemption is subject to prior Japanese regulatory confirmation. Principal is exposed to three loss-absorption mechanisms: (i) a Non‑Viability Event or (ii) a Bankruptcy Event, in each case triggering a full, permanent write‑down and cancellation; and (iii) a Capital Ratio Event, if SMFG’s consolidated CET1 ratio falls below 5.125%, causing a going‑concern write‑down that can reduce principal to as low as US$0.01 per US$1,000.
SMFG can cancel interest at its sole discretion at any time, and must cancel interest when Japanese corporate law distributable amounts are insufficient. Cancelled interest is non‑cumulative. The notes are intended to qualify as SMFG’s AT1 capital and external TLAC; SMFG expects to use proceeds to extend a perpetual subordinated loan to SMBC as internal TLAC. The securities carry extensive selling, tax and retail‑distribution restrictions in Japan, the EEA, the U.K. and Singapore.
