S-ii


The notes have not been and will not be registered under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act of
Japan, or the FIEA, and are subject to the Act on Special Measures Concerning Taxation of Japan, or the Special
Taxation Measures Act. The notes may not be offered or sold in Japan, to any person resident in Japan, or to
others for reoffering or resale directly or indirectly in Japan or to a person resident in Japan, for Japanese
securities law purposes (including any corporation or other entity organized under the laws of Japan) except
pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of, and otherwise in compliance with, the FIEA and
any other applicable laws, regulations and governmental guidelines of Japan. In addition, the notes are not, as
part of the distribution by the underwriters under the applicable underwriting agreement at any time, to be
directly or indirectly offered or sold to, or for the benefit of, any person other than a beneficial owner that is,
(i) for Japanese tax purposes, neither an individual resident of Japan or a Japanese corporation, nor an individual
non-resident of Japan or a non-Japanese corporation that in either case is a person having a special relationship
with the issuer of the notes as described in Article 6, Paragraph (4) of the Special Taxation Measures Act, or a
specially-related person of the issuer or (ii) a Japanese financial institution, designated in Article 6,
Paragraph (9) of the Special Taxation Measures Act, except as specifically permitted under the Special Taxation
Measures Act.
Interest payments on the notes will be subject to Japanese withholding tax unless it is established that the
notes are held by or for the account of a beneficial owner that is (i) for Japanese tax purposes, neither an
individual resident of Japan or a Japanese corporation, nor an individual non-resident of Japan or a non-Japanese
corporation that in either case is a specially-related person of the issuer, (ii) a Japanese financial institution
designated in Article 6, Paragraph (9) of the Special Taxation Measures Act which complies with the requirement
for tax exemption under that paragraph or (iii) a Japanese public corporation, financial institution or financial
instruments business operator described in Article 3-3, Paragraph (6) of the Special Taxation Measures Act
which complies with the requirement for tax exemption under that paragraph.
Interest payments on the notes to an individual resident of Japan, to a Japanese corporation (except as
described in the preceding paragraph), or to an individual non-resident of Japan or a non-Japanese corporation
that in either case is a specially-related person of the issuer will be subject to deduction in respect of Japanese
income tax at a rate of 15.315% (15% on or after January 1, 2038) of the amount of such interest.
PROHIBITION OF SALES TO EEA RETAIL INVESTORS--The notes are not intended to be offered,
sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail
investor in the European Economic Area, or the EEA. For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is
one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU, as amended,
or MiFID II; or (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive 2002/92/EC, as amended, or the Insurance
Mediation Directive, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of
Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in Directive 2003/71/EC, as amended, or the
Prospectus Directive. Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014, or
the PRIIPs Regulation, for offering or selling the notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in
the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the notes or otherwise making them available to any
retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.
NOTIFICATION UNDER SECTION 309B OF THE SFA--In connection with Section 309B of the
Securities and Futures Act (Chapter 289) of Singapore, or the SFA, and the Securities and Futures (Capital
Markets Products) Regulations 2018 of Singapore, or the CMP Regulations 2018, we have determined, and
hereby notify all relevant persons (as defined in Section 309(A)(1) of the SFA), that the notes are "prescribed
capital markets products" (as defined in the CMP Regulations 2018) and Excluded Investment Products (as
defined in MAS Notice SFA 04-N12: Notice on the Sale of Investment Products and MAS Notice FAA-N16:
Notice on Recommendations on Investment Products).
Representation by Investor upon Distribution
By subscribing to any notes, an investor will be deemed to have represented that it is a beneficial owner who

S-iii


individual non-resident of Japan or a non-Japanese corporation that in either case is a person having a special
relationship with the issuer of the notes as described in Article 6, Paragraph (4) of the Special Taxation Measures
Act or (ii) a Japanese financial institution, designated in Article 6, Paragraph (9) of the Special Taxation
Measures Act.

Concurrent Senior Notes Offering by SMBC
SMBC regularly issues senior debt securities. On October 10, 2018, SMBC announced its intention to issue
a series of senior notes, or the SMBC notes, exempt from registration with the SEC pursuant to Section 3(a)(2) of
the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, pursuant to its Global Medium Term Notes
Program. SMBC intends to use the proceeds therefrom for its general corporate purposes. The pricing of the
offering of the SMBC notes and the delivery of the SMBC notes are expected to occur at a similar timing as the
offering of the notes. No SMBC notes are being offered hereby. The closing of the offering of the SMBC notes is
not conditional upon the closing of the offering of the notes, and vice versa.

annum, reset quarterly, equal to the three-month U.S. dollar LIBOR
plus 0.80% from October 16, 2018. LIBOR for each interest period
(as defined herein) will be determined by the calculation agent in
accordance with the terms of the floating rate notes.
We will pay interest on the floating rate notes quarterly in arrears on
January 16, April 16, July 16 and October 16 of each year, beginning
on January 16, 2019, subject to adjustments, to the persons in whose

will end on but exclude the first interest payment date of the floating
rate notes. The interest rate applicable to the first interest period will

floating rate notes would fall on a day that is not a business day, that
interest payment date will be adjusted to the day that is the next
succeeding business day, unless that business day is in the next
succeeding month, in which case such interest payment date will be
the immediately preceding business day.
The maturity date for the floating rate notes will be October 16, 2023.
In the event October 16, 2023 is not a business day, the payment of
interest and principal in respect of the floating rate notes will be made
on the next succeeding day that is a business day, and no interest on
such payment shall accrue for the period from and after October 16,
2023.
We will pay 100% of the principal amount of the floating rate notes at
the maturity date.
