[Questions & Answers]

Q.

First, regarding insider trading related to public offerings of new shares,  the Securities and Exchange Surveillance Commission (SESC) recommended that the  Financial Services Agency (FSA) take administrative action against Nomura  Securities. Could you comment on the recommendation and tell me about the  schedule for taking administrative action?

A.

I would like to refrain from commenting on a specific administrative action  that may be taken against an individual securities company. In any case, the FSA  will consider what administrative action to take in light of the SESC's  recommendation, the results of the series of internal investigations conducted  by Nomura Securities and corrective measures adopted by the company. For the  moment, I have nothing more to add.
