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
March 9, June 9, September 9 and December 9 of each year,
beginning on June 9, 2016, subject to adjustments, to the persons in
S-2

whose names the floating rate notes are registered as of the close of
business on the fifteenth day before the due date for payment
(whether or not a business day).
We will compute interest on the floating rate notes on the basis of the
actual number of days in an interest period and a 360-day year. The
first interest period will begin on and include March 9, 2016 and 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 be
determined by the calculation agent on March 7, 2016.
If any interest payment date (other than the maturity date) of the
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 March 9, 2021. In
the event March 9, 2021 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 March 9, 2021.
We will pay 100% of the principal amount of the floating rate notes at
the maturity date.
See "Description of the Notes--Principal, Maturity and Interest for
the Floating Rate Notes" and "Description of the Notes--
Determination of Floating Interest Rate."
Redemption for Taxation Reasons . . . . . The notes of each series may be redeemed at our option, in whole, but
not in part, at any time, subject to prior confirmation of the Financial
Services Agency of Japan, or the FSA (if such confirmation is
required under applicable Japanese laws or regulations then in effect),
on giving not less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days'
notice of redemption to the holders (which notice shall be irrevocable
and shall conform to all requirements with respect to such notice as
set forth in the indenture) at a redemption price equal to 100% of the
principal amount of the relevant notes together with interest accrued
to the date fixed for redemption and any additional amounts thereon,
if we have been or will become obliged to pay additional amounts as
described under "Description of the Debt Securities--Taxation and
Additional Amounts" in the accompanying prospectus as a result of
any change in, or amendment to, the laws or regulations of Japan or
any political subdivision or any authority thereof or therein having
power to tax, or any change in application or official interpretation of
such laws or regulations, which change or amendment becomes
S-3

effective on or after the original issuance date of the notes of the
relevant series and such obligation cannot be avoided by the taking of
reasonable measures available to us; provided, that no such notice of
redemption shall be given sooner than ninety (90) days prior to the
earliest date on which we would be obliged to pay such additional
amounts were a payment then due in respect of the relevant notes. See
"Description of the Notes--Redemption for Taxation Reasons."

series:
· Default shall be made for more than 15 days in the payment of
principal and premium, if any, and for more than 30 days in the
payment of interest in respect of any of the notes of such series;
· We shall have defaulted in the performance or observance of any
covenant, condition or provision contained in the notes of such
series or in the Indenture in respect of the notes of such series for a
period of 90 days after written notification requesting such default
to be remedied by us shall first have been given to us by the trustee
or holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then
outstanding notes of such series; or
· Certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or
liquidation under bankruptcy, civil rehabilitation, reorganization or
insolvency law of Japan shall have occurred with respect to us or

period of 30 days following the date upon which the Prime Minister of
Japan, or the Prime Minister, confirms that any of the measures set
forth in Article 126-2, Paragraph 1, Item 2 of the Deposit Insurance Act
of Japan, or the Deposit Insurance Act (or any successor provision

Minister pursuant to Article 126-16 of the Deposit Insurance Act (or
any successor provision thereto) and (b) to any transfer of our assets
(including shares of our subsidiaries) or liabilities, or any portions
thereof, effected with permission of a Japanese court in accordance
with Article 126-13 of the Deposit Insurance Act (or any successor

Conflicts of Interest . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . SMBC Nikko Securities America, Inc. is an affiliate of ours and, as a
result, has a "conflict of interest" under Rule 5121 of the Financial
Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (FINRA), or Rule 5121.
Consequently, this offering is being conducted in compliance with the
provisions of Rule 5121. Because this offering is of notes that are
rated investment grade, pursuant to Rule 5121, the appointment of a
"qualified independent underwriter" is not necessary. See
"Underwriting (Conflicts of Interest)" beginning on page S-41 of this
prospectus supplement.
