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
(11) of the Special Taxation Measures Act. Notwithstanding the aforementioned restriction, pursuant to the
Special Taxation Measures Act, SMBC Nikko Capital Markets Limited and SMBC Nikko Securities America,
Inc., each acting in its capacity as an underwriter, will be permitted to acquire or purchase, as part of the
distribution under the underwriting agreement of the notes, the remainder of the notes from any of the other
underwriters, where such other underwriter has failed to sell to subsequent purchasers all of the notes that it
acquired or purchased from us in its capacity as an underwriter.
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 (11) of the Special Taxation Measures Act which complies with the
requirement for tax exemption under that paragraph or (iii) a Japanese public corporation, a Japanese financial
institution or a Japanese 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.
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
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 (ii) a Japanese financial institution, designated in Article 6, Paragraph (11) of the Special Taxation
Measures Act.
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 (EU) 2016/97, or the Insurance Distribution
Directive, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1)
of MiFID II. Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014, as
amended, 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.
S-iii


PROHIBITION OF SALES TO U.K. 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 United Kingdom, or the U.K. For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or
more) of: (i) a retail client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No 2017/565 as it forms part of
domestic law by virtue of the EUWA; (ii) a customer within the meaning of the provisions of the Financial
Services and Markets Act 2000, as amended, or the FSMA, and any rules or regulations made under the FSMA
to implement Directive (EU) 2016/97, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client, as defined
in point (8) of Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the
EUWA. Consequently no key information document required by the PRIIPs Regulation as it forms part of
domestic law by virtue of the EUWA, or the U.K. PRIIPs Regulation, for offering or selling the notes or
otherwise making them available to retail investors in the U.K. has been prepared and therefore offering or
selling the notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the U.K. may be unlawful under the
U.K. 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

Concurrent Subordinated Notes Offering
We regularly issue senior and subordinated debt securities in a variety of currencies and issuance formats.
On September 13, 2021, we announced our intention to issue a series of dated subordinated notes (the
"Concurrent Subordinated Notes"). The Concurrent Subordinated Notes are intended to qualify as our Tier 2
Capital in accordance with the Applicable Banking Regulations (as defined in the applicable prospectus
supplement therefor) and external TLAC instruments under the Japanese TLAC Standards. We intend to use the
proceeds therefrom to extend subordinated loans, intended to qualify as Tier 2 Capital and internal TLAC, to
SMBC. SMBC intends to use the proceeds of the loans for general corporate purposes. The pricing of the
offering and the delivery of the Concurrent Subordinated Notes are expected to occur at a similar timing as the
offering of the notes. No Concurrent Subordinated Notes are being offered hereby. The closing of the offering of
the Concurrent Subordinated Notes is not conditional upon the closing of the offering of the notes, and vice
versa.

Recent Developments
Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Our Recent Financial Results
In light of the persistent uncertainty in the economic environment, we are continuing to closely monitor
developments related to the COVID-19 pandemic. See "Item 3.D. Key Information--Risk Factors" and "Item 5.
Operating and Financial Review and Prospects" in our most recent annual report on Form 20-F filed with the
SEC, which is incorporated by reference herein.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and results of operations in the fiscal year ended
March 31, 2021 varied across our lines of business. Positive contributions to our financial results included strong
performance in the Global Markets Business Unit due to favorable market conditions overseas, and broad
recovery across the Retail, Wholesale and Global Business Units in the second half of the fiscal year. Negative
contributions included sluggish performance in our consumer-oriented businesses, mainly credit cards and
consumer finance, due to low domestic consumption, and our aircraft leasing affiliate, SMBC Aviation Capital
Limited, which was severely affected by the global decline in travel and recorded significant credit/asset
impairment charges in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021. In addition, we recorded significant credit costs,
reflecting deterioration in, and ongoing uncertainty surrounding, the macroeconomic environment under the
COVID-19 pandemic.
These various factors are reflected in our financial results as reported under IFRS and Japanese GAAP for
the year ended March 31, 2021. As explained in "Presentation of Financial and Other Information," our primary
financial statements for SEC reporting purposes are prepared in accordance with IFRS, while our financial
statements for financial reporting purposes in Japan are prepared in accordance with Japanese GAAP.
·
Under IFRS, our results of operations (specifically, total operating income and profit attributable to
shareholders of SMFG) improved significantly compared to the year ended March 31, 2020. For more
information, refer to "Item 5.A. Operating Results" in our most recent annual report on Form 20-F.
·
By contrast, under Japanese GAAP, although consolidated gross profit increased slightly, profit
attributable to owners of parent declined compared to the year ended March 31, 2020. See
"Supplemental Financial and Other Information (Japanese GAAP)."
For the three months ended June 30, 2021, our Japanese GAAP financial results showed an overall
improvement. Consolidated gross profit and consolidated net business profit increased moderately year-over-year
due to recovery in the Retail, Wholesale and Global Business Units, with net business profit gains driven
primarily by the profitability of the Wholesale Unit due to recovery in corporate activities, which was partially
offset by a decrease in gains on sales of bonds in the Global Markets Business Unit. Consolidated profit
attributable to owners of parent increased significantly, as credit costs declined due to a smaller impact from the
COVID-19 pandemic as compared to the same period in the prior year. See "Supplemental Financial and Other
Information (Japanese GAAP)." We do not report financial results under IFRS on a quarterly basis.
Historically, there have been differences in our reported results of operations under IFRS and Japanese
GAAP. For example, in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, there was a significant difference in the
calculation of the allowance for loan losses, which partially reflects a methodological difference in the way that
IFRS and Japanese GAAP incorporate information about the external environment, including the impact of the
COVID-19 pandemic on the economic outlook, in credit risk assessments. As a result, we recorded significantly
higher provisions for loan losses under IFRS than under Japanese GAAP for the fiscal year ended
March 31, 2020. However, in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021, credit costs recorded under Japanese GAAP
increased relative to those recorded under IFRS, which contributed to reversing the differential seen in the prior
fiscal year. Accounting differences including methodological differences such as this may continue to result in
S-2


variances in our reported financial results under IFRS and Japanese GAAP. See "Item 5.A. Operating Results--
Reconciliation with Japanese GAAP" in our most recent annual report on Form 20-F for a summary of certain
differences between IFRS and Japanese GAAP.
Regulatory Matters
In April 2019, SMBC and its New York branch entered into a written agreement with the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York requiring SMBC and its New York branch to address certain deficiencies relating to the New
York branch's anti-money laundering and economic sanctions compliance program. SMBC and its New York
branch are required, among other things, to implement corrective measures and submit periodic progress reports
to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Although we are committed to improving compliance with laws and
regulations relating to anti-money laundering and economic sanctions, SMBC and its New York branch may be
subject to additional supervisory or enforcement action by other regulatory authorities. In such an event, SMBC
and its New York branch may be required, among other things, to implement additional corrective measures, and
may be subject to a monetary fine. If SMBC and its New York branch fail to comply with the terms of the written
agreement or any other form of supervisory or enforcement action, we may become subject to additional
sanctions.
