Notification of Devaluation of Investments in Subsidiaries and Affiliates on Unconsolidated Financial Statements

Tokyo, March 28, 2007—Nomura Holdings, Inc. today announced that it plans to record a devaluation of the shares of an overseas subsidiary engaged in investment in Europe in its unconsolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2007. The devaluation is in conjunction with a decline of the subsidiary’s shareholders’ equity.

In accordance with the Rules on Timely Disclosure of Tokyo Stock Exchange, the estimated amount of the devaluation of the subsidiary’s shares to be applied to Nomura Holdings’ unconsolidated financial statements is shown in the table below.

The devaluation is due to the operating results of the subsidiary. The portion of the operating results to the third quarter of the year ending March 31, 2007, have been reflected in Nomura Holdings’ consolidated quarterly financial statements to date. The portion of the operating results belonging to the fourth quarter ending March 31, 2007, will be appropriately reflected in Nomura Holdings’ consolidated financial statements for the quarter ending March 31, 2007. Nomura Holdings’ consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2007, will be released on April 26, 2007, reflecting this effect.
