The bonds have not been and will not be registered under the Financial Instruments and Exchange
Act of Japan (Act No. 25 of 1948, as amended) and the bonds are subject to the Act on Special Measures
Concerning Taxation of Japan (Act No. 26 of 1957, as amended). The bonds may not be offered or sold in
Japan or to, or for the benefit of, residents of Japan or Japanese corporations, except pursuant to an
exemption from the registration requirements of, and otherwise in compliance with, the Financial
Instruments and Exchange Act of Japan and any other applicable laws, regulations and ministerial
guidelines of Japan (see "Underwriting" below). Among other restrictions, the bonds are not, as part of the
initial distribution at any time, to be directly or indirectly, offered or sold to, or for the benefit of, any
person other than a Gross Recipient. A "Gross Recipient" for this purpose is (i) a beneficial owner that is,
for Japanese tax purposes, neither (x) an individual resident of Japan or a Japanese corporation, nor (y)
an individual non-resident of Japan or a non-Japanese corporation that in either case is a person having a
special relationship with JBIC (that is, in general terms, a person who directly or indirectly controls or is
directly or indirectly controlled by, or is under direct or indirect common control with, JBIC) as described
in Article 6, Paragraph (4) of the Act on Special Measures Concerning Taxation of Japan (a "Specially-
Related Party of JBIC"), (ii) a Japanese financial institution, designated in Article 3-2-2, Paragraph (29) of
the Cabinet Order relating to the Act on Special Measures Concerning Taxation of Japan (Cabinet Order
No. 43 of 1957, as amended; the "Cabinet Order") that will hold bonds for its own proprietary account or
(iii) an individual resident of Japan or a Japanese corporation who will receive interest payments on the
bonds through a payment handling agent in Japan as defined in Article 2-2, Paragraph (2) of the Cabinet
Order. BY SUBSCRIBING FOR THE BONDS, AN INVESTOR WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE
REPRESENTED IT IS A GROSS RECIPIENT.
In addition, interest payments on the bonds will generally be subject to Japanese withholding tax
unless it is established that bonds are held by or for the account of a beneficial owner that is (i) for
Japanese tax purposes, neither (x) an individual resident of Japan or a Japanese corporation, nor (y) an
individual non-resident of Japan or a non-Japanese corporation that in either case is a Specially-Related
Party of JBIC, or (ii) a designated Japanese financial institution described in Article 6, Paragraph (9) of
the Act on Special Measures Concerning Taxation of Japan which complies with the requirement for tax
exemption under that paragraph.

Pursuant to the Japan Bank for International Cooperation Act (the "JBIC Act"), which was passed into law
on April 28, 2011, on April 1, 2012, Japan Finance Corporation (the "Predecessor") spun off two of its
operations: (i) the Japan Bank for International Cooperation Operations (the "JBIC Operations") and (ii) the
Financial Operations for Facilitating Realignment of United States Forces in Japan. Effective the same date, the
JBIC Operations and the Financial Operations for Facilitating Realignment of United States Forces in Japan were
transferred out of the Predecessor to establish Japan Bank for International Cooperation ("JBIC"), a joint-stock
corporation wholly owned by the Japanese government. Pursuant to the JBIC Act, all of the assets and liabilities
relating to the JBIC Operations and the Financial Operations for Facilitating Realignment of United States Forces
in Japan were assumed by JBIC.
On July 24, 2012, the Board of Directors of JBIC passed a resolution to terminate the Financial Operations
for Facilitating Realignment of United States Forces in Japan on September 30, 2012, which termination did
become effective on that date, and JBIC has completed the necessary procedures as stipulated in the provisions of
Article 23 of the Act on Special Measures Concerning Smooth Implementation of Realignment of United States
Forces in Japan. JBIC abolished the Financial Account Related to the Financial Operations for Facilitating
Realignment of United States Forces in Japan on November 30, 2012 upon the payment of the residual assets to
the national treasury.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE EXPOSURE
An investment in the bonds, which are denominated in, and all payments in respect of which are to be made
in, a currency other than the currency of the country in which the purchaser is resident or the currency in which
the purchaser conducts its business or activities (the "home currency"), entails significant risks that are not
associated with a similar investment in a security denominated in the home currency. These risks include,
without limitation, the possibility of significant changes in the rate of exchange between the home currency and
the Canadian dollar and the possibility of the imposition or modification of foreign exchange controls with
respect to the Canadian dollar. Such risks generally depend on economic and political events over which we have
no control. In recent years, rates of exchange for certain currencies have been highly volatile and such volatility
may be expected to continue in the future. Fluctuations in any particular exchange rate that have occurred in the
past are not necessarily indicative, however, of fluctuations in such rate that may occur during the term of the
bonds. Depreciation of the Canadian dollar against the relevant home currency could result in a decrease in the
effective yield of the bonds below the coupon rate and, in certain circumstances, could result in a loss to the
investor on a home currency basis.
The description of foreign currency risks does not describe all the risks of an investment in securities
denominated in a currency other than your home currency. Prospective investors should consult their own
financial and legal advisors as to the risks involved in an investment in the bonds.
The following table shows the average, high and low noon buying rates for Canadian dollars, expressed in
number of Canadian dollars per $1.00 as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, for the periods
and dates indicated. No representation is made that the Canadian dollar or U.S. dollar amounts referred to herein
could have been or could be converted into U.S. dollars or Canadian dollars, as the case may be, at any particular
rate.

Interest Rate . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.300% per year. We will pay interest on the bonds semi-annually in
arrears in equal payments. Whenever it is necessary to compute any
amount of accrued interest for a period of less than a full semi-annual

actual number of days in the period divided by 365 (known as the
Canadian Compound Method).
Ranking . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The bonds will be our direct, unsecured debt securities obligations and
rank pari passu and be payable without any preference among
themselves and at least equally with all of our other unsecured debt
securities obligations from time to time outstanding, which rank senior
to our unsecured general obligations not represented by debt securities,
provided, however, that certain obligations in respect of national and
local taxes and certain preferential rights granted by, among others, the
Japanese Civil Code to certain specified types of creditors, such as
preferential rights of employees to wages, will have preference.
Additional Amounts . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . If certain taxes, as described under "Description of the Bonds and
Guarantee", are payable on the bonds, we will, subject to certain
exceptions, pay such additional amounts on the bonds as will result,
after deduction or withholding of such taxes, in the payment of the
amounts that would have been payable on the bonds if no such
deduction or withholding had been required. For further detail on the
payment of additional amounts, see "Description of the Bonds and
Guarantee--Additional Amounts".
Redemption . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . We may redeem all, but not less than all, of the bonds in the event of
certain changes relating to Japanese taxation at 100% of the principal
amount thereof plus accrued interest thereon and any additional
amounts we are required to pay, as described under "Description of
the Bonds and Guarantee--Redemption".
