In October 1998, the Long-Term Credit Bank of Japan, the predecessor of SBI Shinsei Bank, was declared temporarily nationalized under the provisions of the Financial Reconstruction Law. While in temporary nationalization, the Bank implemented management policies to fully resolve its non-performing loan issues and undertake the rationalization of its operations. In March 2000, ownership of the Bank was transferred to New LTCB Partners, an investor group established by influential financial institutions in Europe and the United States. The temporary nationalization ended and on June 5, 2000, and the Bank's name was changed to Shinsei Bank, Limited. Subsequently, the Bank changed its name to SBI Shinsei Bank, Limited on January 4, 2023.

In order to secure transparency and soundness of management to improve corporate value, we continue to strengthen the Bank's corporate governance by:

 

1. enhancing the decision-making and review functions of the Board of Directors;
2. adopting transparent management decision-making policies;
3. implementing a rigorous compliance system and
4. increasing disclosure of corporate information.
    

To ensure these points, we adopted a company-with-committees board model (iinkai-tou-setchi-gaisha) after the annual general meeting of shareholders held on June 24, 2004.
