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. Transfers require Board approval, with an inheritance exception for this series.

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.

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.
