ADR Information
What is ADR?
ADRs are securities issued for the purpose of trading in the U.S. in place of the underlying stock of foreign companies. As ADRs are registered with the SEC as U.S. securities, they are traded, settled and held in custody in substantively the same manner as the stocks of U.S. companies. ADR is an acronym for American Depositary Receipts.
Outline of Mizuho Financial Group's ADR
- Type of ADR Program: Sponsored Level 2 Program (*)
- Conversion Ratio : 5 ADRs ＝ 1 Underlying Share (Underlying Share : Mizuho Financial Group's common stock)
- U.S. Security Code (CUSIP): 60687Y109
- NYSE Ticker Symbol: MFG
- Depositary bank: The Bank of New York Mellon
- Local custodian bank: Mizuho Bank, Ltd.
* For sponsored ADRs, the company issuing the underlying stock enters into a deposit agreement with a specific depositary bank, and ADRs are issued by the depositary bank once the issuer, depositary bank and investor rights and obligations have been clarified. In contrast, unsponsored ADRs are issued by the depositary bank based on investor demand without any involvement by the company issuing the underlying stock. Sponsored ADR Programs are divided into Levels 1, 2 or 3 depending on whether the issuance or sale of new stock is involved and the level of disclosure the company is obligated to provide. Under a Level 2 program, ADRs may be issued and listed on U.S. stock exchanges without being accompanied by the issuance or sale of new stock, and the issuer of the underlying stock is required to disclose information in a similar manner as U.S. listed companies.

Capital Management, Shareholder Return Policy and Dividend Information
Capital Management and Shareholder Return Policy
We have been pursuing the optimal balance between capital adequacy, growth investment and enhancement of shareholder return, and we set forth our shareholder return policy of keeping progressive increase of dividends per share, while executing flexible and intermittent share buybacks. In addition, we will increase dividends per share by approximately JPY5.0 each fiscal year, based on the steady growth of our stable earnings base. We will decide share buybacks, based on our business results, capital adequacy, our stock price and the opportunities for growth investment, using the total payout ratio of 50% or more as a guide.
Dividend Information
Forecast of annual Cash Dividend per Share for FY25 is JPY 145, an increase of JPY5 compared to FY24. This will be the fifth consecutive year to increase dividends, backed by solid growth of stable earnings foundation. And share buyback was resolved up to a maximum of JPY100 billion.
For FY25 plan and shareholder return, please refer to page 14 of FY24 Financial Results.
For change in shareholder return policy, please refer to page 16.
Term-end cash dividend payment commencement date for the fiscal year ending March 2025: Friday, June 6, 2025.
* Shareholders who have opted to receive dividends via bank account or securities account deposit will receive them on the payment commencement date. Shareholders who receive dividends by Dividend Receipts, may not receive them until after the payment commencement date in the case of delay in postal mail delivery. There is no such potential delay when receiving dividends via bank account or securities account deposit, and therefore we recommend this method of receipt. To change the method by which you receive dividends, please follow the instructions provided under the Contact List.
