Nomura Holdings to Reorganize Management Structure

Nomura Holdings Inc., (“Nomura”) today announced measures to enhance its management structure by establishing a Corporate Planning Department and reorganizing its three business lines into five. A number of new executive officer positions will also be created. The moves, effective April 1, 2005, are aimed at streamlining the decision making process and addressing areas of recent business expansion.

“The new structure will give us more flexibility to take advantage of new business opportunities and speed up the pace of our ongoing global expansion,” said Nobuyuki Koga, President and CEO of Nomura.

Working closely with Nomura Securities’ Corporate Planning Department, the Nomura Holdings Corporate Planning Department will be charged with supporting the CEO, COO, and Co-COO to craft strategies for new and existing businesses across all business lines.

Nomura’s operations are currently divided into three business lines: Domestic Retail, Global Wholesale, and Asset Management. To better position itself for future growth, Nomura has decided to split its Global Wholesale operations into three business lines: Global Markets, Global Investment Banking, and Global Merchant Banking. As a result, Nomura’s operations will now be spread across five business lines: Domestic Retail, Global Markets, Global Investment Banking, Global Merchant Banking, and Asset Management. All business lines will work closely with each other under the three representative executive officers.

In Global Markets, Asset Finance will be newly established in line with an expected increase in asset finance business opportunities. Global Markets will now consist of Global Fixed Income, Global Equity, and Asset Finance.

In addition to the reorganization of its operations, Nomura will revamp its executive officer lineup. A new executive officer position will be created in Global Markets to oversee Asset Finance. To address the growing needs of the public sector, an executive officer in charge of business related to public corporations will join Global Investment Banking. A new executive officer will also be posted to Global Research to oversee the Quantitative Research Department, bolstering Nomura’s efforts to respond to growing customer needs for sophisticated solutions in such areas as annuities. An additional executive officer in charge of Asset Management will help enhance Nomura’s ability to supply products through a diverse range of distribution channels.

With the recent growth and development of the Chinese market, Nomura has decided to create a new executive officer position to head up the company’s operations in China. This is aimed at accelerating growth in Nomura’s Chinese business and underscores the company’s firm commitment to the Chinese market.

New structure and executives in charge of each area as of April 1
