THE 19th ORDINARY GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

Dear Shareholders:

We are pleased to announce that the matters outlined below were reported and resolved at the 19th Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders of Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group, Inc. (the “Company”) held today.

 

    Matters reported:

 

1.  Business Report, Consolidated Financial Statements for the 19th Fiscal Year (from April 1, 2020 to March 31, 2021) and results of the audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements by the Accounting Auditor and the Audit Committee

 

The contents of the above were duly reported.

 

2.  Non-Consolidated Financial Statements for the 19th Fiscal Year (from April 1, 2020 to March 31, 2021)

 

The contents of the above were duly reported.

    Proposals resolved:

 

Proposal No. 1:    Appropriation of Surplus

 

The matter was approved as originally proposed. The dividend at the end of the fiscal year was determined to be ¥95 per share of Common Stock (¥190 per share of Common Stock for the annualized dividend).

 

Proposal No. 2:    Election of Fifteen Directors

 

The matter was approved as originally proposed. Messrs. Takeshi Kunibe, Jun Ohta, Makoto Takashima, Toru Nakashima, Atsuhiko Inoue, Masayuki Matsumoto, Arthur M. Mitchell, Shozo Yamazaki, Masaharu Kohno, Yoshinobu Tsutsui and Katsuyoshi Shinbo, and Ms. Eriko Sakurai were reelected as Directors. Ms. Teiko Kudo, and Messrs. Toshihiro Isshiki and Yasuyuki Kawasaki were newly elected as Directors.

Messrs. Masayuki Matsumoto, Arthur M. Mitchell, Shozo Yamazaki, Masaharu Kohno, Yoshinobu Tsutsui and Katsuyoshi Shinbo, and Ms. Eriko Sakurai are Outside Directors.

 

Proposal No. 3:    Partial Amendments to the Articles of Incorporation

 

The matter was approved as originally proposed. In response to the amendment of the Industrial Competitiveness Enhancement Act, which made it possible for listed companies to hold a general meeting of shareholders without designating a place for the meeting under certain conditions by adding relevant provisions to their articles of incorporation, our Articles of Incorporation were amended to enable us to hold a general meeting of shareholders without designating a place for the meeting, for the purpose of diversifying options for the manner of holding a general meeting.

The partial amendments shall become effective upon the Company’s receiving confirmation from the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry as well as the Minister of Justice regarding the legitimacy of instituting the Company’s general meeting of shareholders without the designation of its place, pursuant to the Industrial Competitiveness Enhancement Act.
