FINAL TERMS OF THE NOTES
Final Terms dated 1 September 2021
Mizuho Financial Group, Inc.
Issue of 1,000,000,000 0.470 per cent. Fixed to Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2029 (the "Notes")
under the U.S.$30,000,000,000
Debt Issuance Programme
This document constitutes the Final Terms relating to the issue of Notes described herein. Terms used herein
shall be deemed to be defined as such for the purposes of the Conditions set forth in the Base Prospectus dated
31 August 2021 (the "Base Prospectus"). These Final Terms contain the final terms of the Notes and must be
read in conjunction with the Base Prospectus. Terms defined in the Base Prospectus have the same meaning
when used herein.
In connection with this issue, Mizuho International plc (the "Stabilising Manager") or any person acting for
the Stabilising Manager may over-allot or effect transactions with a view to supporting the market price of the
Notes at a level higher than that which might otherwise prevail for a limited period. However, there may be
no obligation on the Stabilising Manager or any agent of the Stabilising Manager to do this. Such stabilising,
if commenced, may be discontinued at any time and must be brought to an end after a limited time.
Save as disclosed herein or in the Base Prospectus (including any documents incorporated by reference
therein), there has been no significant change in the financial or trading position of the Issuer, or the Issuer
and its consolidated subsidiaries taken as a whole, since 31 March 2021 and there has been no material adverse
change in the financial position or prospects of the Issuer, or the Issuer and its consolidated subsidiaries taken
as a whole, since 31 March 2021.
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 ("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 ("MiFID
II"); (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 (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; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (the "Prospectus Regulation").
Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (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.
PROHIBITION OF SALES TO UK 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 (the "UK"). 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 European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 ("EUWA"); (ii) a customer
within the meaning of the provisions of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (the "FSMA") and any
rules or regulations made under the FSMA to implement the Insurance Distribution Directive, 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; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined
in Article 2 of the Prospectus Regulation 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 (the "UK PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available

to retail investors in the UK has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making
them available to any retail investor in the UK may be unlawful under the UK PRIIPs Regulation.
MIFID II PRODUCT GOVERNANCE / PROFESSIONAL INVESTORS AND ECPS ONLY TARGET

assessment in respect of the Notes has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the Notes is eligible
counterparties and professional clients only, each as defined in MiFID II; and (ii) all channels for distribution
of the Notes to eligible counterparties and professional clients are appropriate. Any person subsequently
offering, selling or recommending the Notes (a "distributor") should take into consideration the manufacturers'
target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to MiFID II is responsible for undertaking its own
target market assessment in respect of the Notes (by either adopting or refining the manufacturers' target
market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.
UK MiFIR PRODUCT GOVERNANCE / PROFESSIONAL INVESTORS AND ECPS ONLY

and professional clients, as defined in the Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by

Appendix
In relation to the Notes only, the following shall be added as a new Condition 4(f) in the section entitled
"TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE MHFG NOTES" in the Base Prospectus:
(f)
Benchmark discontinuation
(i)
Financial Adviser
Notwithstanding any other provisions in Condition 4, if a Benchmark Event occurs in relation
to an Original Reference Rate when any Rate of Interest (or any component part thereof)
during the Floating Rate Period remains to be determined by reference to such Original
Reference Rate, the Issuer shall use its reasonable endeavours to appoint a Financial Adviser,
as soon as reasonably practicable (provided that such appointment need not be made (i) if the
Issuer exercises its option to redeem the Notes prior to an Interest Period in respect of which
any Rate of Interest (or any component part thereof) remains to be determined by reference
to such Reference Rate, or (ii) earlier than 30 days prior to the first date on which the Original
Reference Rate is to be used to determine any Rate of Interest (or any component part
thereof)) during the Floating Rate Period, to advise the Issuer in determining a Successor
Rate, failing which an Alternative Rate (in accordance with Condition 4(f)(ii)) and, in either
case, an Adjustment Spread and any Benchmark Amendments (in accordance with Condition
4(f)(iv)). In giving such advice, a Financial Adviser appointed pursuant to this Condition 4(f)
shall act in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner as an expert and (in the
absence of bad faith or fraud) shall have no liability whatsoever to the Issuer, the Trustee, the
Paying Agents, the Noteholders or the Couponholders for any advice given by it to the Issuer
in connection with any determination made by the Issuer, pursuant to this Condition 4(f).
(ii)
Successor Rate or Alternative Rate
If the Issuer, following consultation with the Financial Adviser and acting in good faith,
determines that:
(A)
there is a Successor Rate, then such Successor Rate and the applicable Adjustment
Spread shall subsequently be used in place of the Original Reference Rate to
determine the Rate of Interest (or the relevant component part thereof) for all future
payments of interest on the Notes (subject to the operation of this Condition 4(f));
or
(B)
there is no Successor Rate but that there is an Alternative Rate, then such
Alternative Rate and the applicable Adjustment Spread shall subsequently be used
in place of the Original Reference Rate to determine the Rate of Interest (or the
relevant component part thereof) for all future payments of interest on the Notes
(subject to the operation of this Condition 4(f)).
If (i) the Issuer is unable to appoint a Financial Adviser; or (ii) the Issuer fails to determine a
Successor Rate or, failing which, an Alternative Rate in accordance with this Condition 4(f)
prior to the date which is 10 Calculation Agent Business Days prior to the relevant Interest
Determination Date, the Rate of Interest applicable to the next succeeding Interest Period
shall be equal to the Rate of Interest last determined in relation to the Notes in respect of the
immediately preceding Interest Period (to the extent that such immediately preceding Interest
Period also falls within the Floating Rate Period). If there has not been a prior Interest Period
during the Floating Rate Period, the Rate of Interest shall be determined using the Original
Reference Rate last displayed on the relevant Screen Page prior to the relevant Interest
9

Determination Date. For the avoidance of doubt, this paragraph shall apply to the relevant
next succeeding Interest Period only and any subsequent Interest Periods are subject to the
subsequent operation of, and to adjustment as provided in, Condition 4(f)(i).
(iii)
Adjustment Spread
The Adjustment Spread (or the formula or methodology for determining the Adjustment
Spread) shall be applied to the Successor Rate or the Alternative Rate (as the case may be).
If the Issuer, following consultation with the Financial Adviser, is unable to determine the
quantum of, or a formula or methodology for determining, such Adjustment Spread, then the
Successor Rate or Alternative Reference Rate (as applicable) will apply without an
Adjustment Spread.
(iv)
Benchmark Amendments
If any Successor Rate or Alternative Rate and, in either case, the applicable Adjustment
Spread is determined in accordance with this Condition 4(f) and the Issuer, following
consultation with the Financial Adviser and acting in good faith, determines (i) that
amendments to these Conditions and/or the Trust Deed are necessary to ensure the proper
operation of such Successor Rate or Alternative Rate and/or (in either case) the applicable
Adjustment Spread, and the proper transition to a further fallback rate should an event
analogous to a Benchmark Event occurs in relation to such Successor Rate or Alternative
Rate (such amendments, the "Benchmark Amendments") and (ii) the terms of the
Benchmark Amendments, then the Issuer shall, subject to giving notice thereof in accordance
with Condition 4(f)(v), without any requirement for the consent or approval of the
Noteholders or the Couponholders, vary these Conditions and/or the Trust Deed to give effect
to such Benchmark Amendments with effect from the date specified in such notice.
At the request of the Issuer, but subject to receipt by the Trustee of a certificate signed by an
authorised officer of the Issuer pursuant to Condition 4(f)(v), the Trustee shall (at the expense
of the Issuer), without any requirement for the consent or approval of the Noteholders, the
Couponholders or any other party, be obliged to concur with the Issuer in effecting any
Benchmark Amendments (including, inter alia, by the execution of a deed supplemental to
or amending the Trust Deed), provided that the Trustee shall not be obliged so to concur if,
in the reasonable opinion of the Trustee following consultation with the Issuer, doing so
would impose significantly more onerous obligations upon it or expose it to any significant
additional duties, responsibilities or liabilities or significantly reduce or unfavourably amend
the protective provisions afforded to the Trustee in these Conditions or the Trust Deed
(including, for the avoidance of doubt, any supplemental trust deed) in any way.
At the request of the Issuer, the Calculation Agent or any Paying Agent shall (at the expense
of the Issuer), without any requirement for the consent or approval of the Noteholders, the
Couponholders or any other party, be obliged to concur with the Issuer in effecting any
Benchmark Amendments (including, inter alia, by the execution of an agreement
supplemental to or amending the Agency Agreement) to the extent possible.
In connection with any such variation in accordance with this Condition 4(f)(iv), the Issuer
shall comply with the rules of any stock exchange on which the Notes are for the time being
listed or admitted to trading.
(v)
Notices, etc.
Any Successor Rate, Alternative Rate, Adjustment Spread and the specific terms of any
Benchmark Amendments, determined under this Condition 4(f) will be notified at least 10
10
