The target was ordinary shares, with an initial upper limit of 13.99% of issued shares and total amount of up to 100 billion yen. This time, the acquisition ended at the expiration of the period, with a cumulative total of 440,907,300 shares acquired and a total amount of 69,849,621,475 yen. The objective was to stabilize stock supply and demand after listing.\n\n### Market Impact and Future\nThe share buyback is considered to have somewhat achieved stabilization of supply and demand, with current supply-demand dynamics more stable than immediately after listing. Acquisition methods included market purchases and purchases via ToSTNeT-3, and it is stated that some acquisitions may not have been completed within the period due to market conditions and regulations. The notice does not describe future shareholder returns or capital policy; cumulative data already completed are the focus.","jir_financial_highlights":"Total number of shares acquired: 0 shares (Within the acquisition period, total is 0 shares, but cumulative total is 440,907,300 shares (as of 2026\/08\/08))\nTotal value of acquired shares: 0 yen (Cumulative total is 69,849,621,475 yen (as of 2026\/08\/08))\nAcquisition period: August 1, 2026 to August 8, 2026 (Within period)\nCumulative total shares acquired: 440,907,300 shares (Cumulative)\nCumulative total value of shares acquired: 69,849,621,475 yen (Cumulative)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#Sony Financial Group, #ShareBuyback","jir_key_figures":"Cumulative total shares acquired: 440,907,300 shares\nCumulative total value of shares acquired: 69,849,621,475 yen\nAcquisition period: August 1, 2026 to August 8, 2026","jir_meta_title":"\u3010Sony Financial Group\u3011Share Buyback Status Notice | August 2026","jir_meta_description":"Disclosure of Sony Financial Group's share buyback status.
