Following the spin-off, approximately 1 trillion 380 billion yen of accumulated other comprehensive income is expected to be transferred to net loss from discontinued operations, with offsetting equity-method profit and impairment effects.

Sony Group Corporation reported an administrative change to its equity compensation following the partial spin-off of Sony Financial Group Inc., completed as of October 1, 2025. In line with plan terms, Sony adjusted the number of common shares delivered per restricted stock unit upon vesting.
RSUs granted on or before September 30, 2024 will now deliver 5.1465 shares per unit (previously 5, reflecting the 2024 stock split). RSUs granted from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2025 will deliver 1.0293 shares per unit (previously 1). The effective date of these adjustments is October 1, 2025. For each recipient, the actual number of shares is calculated by multiplying the adjusted per‑unit figure by the RSUs held and rounding up to the nearest whole share.
Sony Group Corporation announced new equity awards under its stock compensation plan. The company approved grants of restricted stock units (RSUs) to directors, officers, and employees across the group, with vesting tied to continued service and specific schedules by grant series.
The awards include RSUs corresponding to up to 83,800 shares for 10 recipients with a single cliff vest at the third anniversary; up to 4,932,808 shares for 4,131 recipients vesting in three equal installments on the first, second, and third anniversaries; and up to 1,040,379 shares for 3,023 recipients vesting in full at the first anniversary. The scheduled grant date is November 25, 2025. Shares will be delivered promptly after vesting, primarily via transfer of treasury shares, with the transfer amount per share based on the prior trading day’s Tokyo Stock Exchange closing price. RSUs may be adjusted for stock splits/consolidations, are non‑transferable, and include forfeiture and reorganization provisions. The company plans to file a Form S‑8 for share delivery under the plan.
Sony Group Corporation announced it will issue stock acquisition rights to grant stock options to executives and employees across the Group, aiming to align compensation with business performance.
The Fifty-Third Series covers 20,387 stock acquisition rights, each for 100 shares, totaling 2,038,700 shares of common stock. The allotment date is November 25, 2025, with the exercise period from November 25, 2026 to November 24, 2035. The exercise price will be set by the average closing price over the 10 trading days before allotment, with a floor at the prior trading day’s close. The amount paid for the rights will be determined on November 21, 2025 using a Black‑Scholes calculation, and will be offset against remuneration claims, so no cash is paid by allottees on the allotment date.
The Fifty-Fourth Series covers 9,383 stock acquisition rights, each for 100 shares, totaling 938,300 shares. Terms mirror the Fifty-Third Series, except the initial exercise price is set in U.S. dollars using a reference yen price and exchange rate.

Across the program, Sony bought back a total of 63,156,800 shares for ¥249,999,876,533.

Sony Group Corporation has provided a final estimate of the tax-related proportion of distributed assets for its planned partial spin-off of its Financial Services business, operated by wholly owned subsidiary Sony Financial Group Inc. The spin-off is scheduled to be effective on October 1, 2025.
The proportion of distributed assets for Japanese tax purposes is estimated at 0.206. This figure is used to calculate the acquisition cost per share of Sony common stock and Sony Financial Group Inc. common stock for shareholders immediately after the spin-off. Sony does not currently expect this proportion to change before the dividends in kind become effective.
The proportion will be finalized when the dividends in kind become effective, and a notification is expected to be sent to shareholders around early November 2025, based on the record date of September 30, 2025. Sony refers shareholders to detailed explanatory and Q&A materials on its website for further information about the spin-off, related tax treatment, and the handling of American Depositary Receipts.

Sony Group Corporation reports that the Tokyo Stock Exchange has approved the listing of Sony Financial Group Inc. (SFGI) shares on the TSE Prime Market as part of the previously resolved partial spin-off of its Financial Services business, effective October 1, 2025. Key dates include the last trading date with dividend rights for Sony shares on September 26, 2025, the ex-dividend date and scheduled listing date for SFGI shares on September 29, 2025, the record date for dividends in kind on September 30, 2025, and the effective and distribution date on October 1, 2025. Holders of Sony ADRs as of the Sony ADR record date on September 29, 2025 are expected to receive unsponsored SFGI ADRs issued by JPMorgan. SFGI’s board has also approved a share repurchase facility of up to 100 billion yen from September 29, 2025 to August 8, 2026 to manage supply–demand after listing and improve capital efficiency. Sony is still evaluating the impact of the Spin-off on its consolidated results and expects to retain slightly less than 20% of SFGI, which will be accounted for under the equity method.
Sony will distribute shares of its Financial Services subsidiary (SFGI) as a dividend in kind through a planned Spin-off and will account for this differently under J-GAAP and IFRS. Under J-GAAP, the dividend-in-kind is measured at the carrying amount of SFGI shares in Sony's standalone statements and that carrying amount determines amount available for dividends. Under IFRS, Sony will reduce equity by the fair value of SFGI shares and record a liability for that amount prior to deconsolidation. The Financial Services business is classified as a discontinued operation under IFRS 5 from Q1 FY ending March 31, 2026; the disposal group is measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to distribute. Upon effectiveness, Sony will deconsolidate the business, recognize gains or losses comparing fair value and carrying amounts, reclassify accumulated other comprehensive income related to the disposal group (noting an accumulated other comprehensive loss of approximately ¥1.4 trillion as of end-June 2025), and remeasure any SFGI shares Sony retains at fair value.
