Nomura to Reinforce Lending and Investment Businesses
Nomura Holdings, Inc. (“NHI”) today announced that it has decided to make an investment in a soon-to-be established lending and investment company (“New Company”). This investment will expand Nomura’s businesses in growing areas including real estate and other asset-backed lending, investment in problem loans held by financial institutions, and corporate turnarounds.
The new company, the name of which will be determined later, will be established by partners including professionals who held leading positions in the loan and investment operations of GMAC Commercial Mortgage Japan, KK. The new company will provide expert solutions for the resolution of problem loans held by financial institutions, corporate turnarounds, and other related matters. It will also provide non-recourse loans backed by real estate properties such as office buildings and rental condominiums, and other income-generating assets. The new company will be initially capitalized at 400 million yen and is scheduled to begin operations this July.
NHI will make a 400 million yen investment of additional capital, and may invest additionally up to an aggregate maximum of 20 billion yen in the future. As a result, NHI may eventually acquire a majority of the new company’s voting rights. In addition to expecting high returns from the investment in the aforementioned lending and investment businesses, NHI counts on business cooperation with NHI subsidiary Nomura Securities Co., Ltd. to expand Nomura’s overall lending and investment-related businesses, including structured product underwriting and real estate investment fund arrangement.
