FD Fulfillment 1. Building Appropriate Product Lines in Response to Customers Needs Action Plans We will establish a product provision structure by bringing together and fully utilizing the resources and functions of MHBK/MHTB/MHSC. We will improve the process employed to introduce, improve, and abolish products so as to maintain a high-quality product lineup that meets customers needs, such as involving long-term investment perspectives. Progress of the action plan initiatives (1) Group-based provision of excellent investment opportunities suited for our valued customers MHBK MHTB MHSC Mizuho has been establishing a product line that can better help customers build future assets. To be specific, we have established a product lineup as presented in the following chart so that we can make proposals suited to our customers life plans, investment experience, and needs (needs for asset management and succession needs) on a group basis. Needs for asset management Needs for succession Not experienced Investment experience Experienced Chochiku no Tatsujin (savings expert) Investment trust fund: Mizuho Select Fund (entry-level fund) Insurance: MHBK Broad lineup to respond to increasing needs for assets Investment trust fund: Mizuho Select Fund (long-selling fund) MHTB MHBK Fund wrap Changes in needs according to investment experience MHBK Investment trust fund: Broad lineup to respond to diverse investment needs Government bonds for retail investors Equity Fixed income (global/structured) MHSC MHSC MHSC MHBK MHTB MHSC Change in the life style Insurance: Broad lineup to respond to needs to save assets MHBK MHTB MHSC Trust products: New product Eraberu Anshin Shintaku (safe, assured trust of your choice), etc. MHTB (2) Wide-ranging products that contribute to steady asset building MHBK MHTB MHSC Investment trust funds Mizuho provides a wide-ranging category of products to meet the diverse needs of 4

customers. In particular, MHBK, as a company that helps customers take the first step for shifting from savings to investments/asset building, has selected the Mizuho Select Fund in which products that can contribute to the long-term asset building of the customers are narrowed down based on clear criteria so that the customer can easily select the products that meet their own needs. The Mizuho Select Fund comprises the Mizuho Entry Fund, which is suited for customers that will start fund investment for the first time, and the Mizuho Long-Seller Fund, which has a long history of good performance. Both consist of products from a broad range of asset management companies. Criteria for selection for the Mizuho Select Fund Entry fund: Long-seller fund: Relatively low risk Investment history with 10 years or longer Easy-to-understand product With a certain level of net worth balance Stable net worth Relatively good performance Not a monthly distribution or theme type Not a monthly distribution or theme type MHSC has endeavored to enrich our products and services by preparing a diverse set of product categories, such as global equity funds, to support the customers that already have extensive investment experience and that have needs for advanced and diversified asset management. We also have funds that offer high investment efficiency with lower dividend frequency and no excessive dividend amounts, which contributes to the customers steady and longterm asset building. We will establish a well-organized product line-up to meet the diversified needs of customers. The following charts show the current situation of our asset management portfolio, established as a result of our efforts to offer products that meet customer needs. The information consists of Sales ratio of funds other than a monthly distribution type, Sales ratio of products from the asset management companies of the Mizuho group, Sales ratio of fund categories, *1 and Best-selling funds. *1 *1 The information is presented separately for MHBK/MHTB and MHSC, as their roles are different. Mizuho will continue to support the steady and long-term asset building of customers based on the such factors as the investment environment. 5

by 2. Providing Investment Products to Customers via Consulting Services Action Plans We will establish a structure in which we: 1) carefully listen to customer needs in relation to the state of their assets/liabilities, 2) perform various analyses, and 3) accurately assess their tolerance of risk. We promote the provision of information that will provide our customers with clear, truthful, and non-misleading information so that the customer can find the right product for their needs. We will further improve the methods of making proposals and explaining products through the further standardization of the product offering process so as to provide highvalue-added services to customers. We will pursue and promote the proactive use of the latest technologies so as to improve our methods of consulting according to the purchasing channels of customers, such as over the counter and via the internet, and to their diverse asset management needs. We endeavor to provide easy-to-understand information regarding commissions and to operate and improve monitoring for consulting processes. Progress of the action plan initiatives (1) Enhancement of initiatives to accurately understand the needs and goals of customers Execution of consulting sales via a tablet application MHBK MHTB All sales staff members are making proposals on investment trust fund portfolios and insurance products in accordance with the needs and situations of customers by using the application installed in the tablet terminal. The tablet application is updated regularly so that the contents of information are enriched and so that the effectiveness of product proposal is improved. Promotion of consulting sales by activity management MHSC MHSC will continue to work on initiatives toward consulting on sales under the activity management model in which deep discourse with customers leads to consulting sales. The initiative above was highly evaluated recently and was awarded the CRM Best Practice Award *2 of 2017. MHSC will continue to practice consulting sales for the benefit of the customer and customer-oriented business operations through deep discourse with customers. *2 CRM Best Practice Awards, as selected by CRM Association Japan, *3 are awarded to applicant groups, corporations, government bodies, and individuals that have achieved excellent results by utilizing the latest IT technology and practicing advanced CRM (Customer Relationship Management). 9

*3 CRM Association Japan (secretariat in Shinjuku, Tokyo, with Junkyo Fujieda as chairman) is a general incorporated association and an open and non-profit member organization established on October 1, 2009, to study, pursue, and promote an ideal and true CRM in Japan in collaboration with users, vendors, and academies by taking over the activities of the former CRM association that was formed in 2004. (2) Consulting based on appropriate information provision Enhancement of initiatives to ensure easy-to-understand explanation of products MHBK MHTB MHSC Mizuho is providing our customers with clear, truthful, and non-misleading information so that they can choose the product that meets their needs. As part of this initiative, we plan to provide information about products that comprise more than one financial product in comparison with the cases where financial products are purchased separately. We are also working on the enhancement of explanations on products that have similar characteristics, such as index-type investment trust funds and ETF (exchange-traded funds, listed investment trust funds), so that the contents of products are compared and understood. Enhancement of capabilities to transmit information to customers MHSC Mizuho, with its information excellence, *4 is supporting its customers in their steady and long-term asset building by providing appropriate information and advice that contributes to the customers investment decision-making, and will make further efforts to improve its global research capability. 29th Popular Analyst Ranking 1 st rank (by company) 2017 All Japan Research Ranking 1 st rank 22 nd Fixed Income/FX Analyst Economist Popularity Survey 1 st rank *4 MHSC ranked first in the 29 th Popular Analyst Ranking (company ranking) (Nikkei Veritas, March 19 2017) and also in the 2017 All Japan Research Ranking (Institutional Investor, a global financial magazine) for four consecutive years. Winning the titles in these two prestigious surveys is proof of MHSC s excellent research capability for equity investment. Further, in 2017, Mizuho Financial Group received first prize for the 22 nd Popular Fixed Income and FX Analyst Award (Nikkei Veritas, March 26 2017) based on an evaluation of institutional investors in various industries, such as banks, life insurance companies, property and casualty insurance companies, and associated financial institutions, which reflects Mizuho s information and analytical expertise backed by its unique and broad perspective. (3) Pursuit of new methods for proposals using the latest technologies Enhancement of the functions of the Robo-Advisor Service MHBK In October 2015, MHBK introduced SMART FOLIO, Robo-Advisor Service. It makes portfolio proposals for investment trust funds based on the risk tolerance of customers, via 10

the internet using the latest financial technologies, and is available for free for everyone, not just MHBK customers. We improved the functions of the system as follows to enhance the service s usability based on comments and opinions from customers that used the service. Compatible with We prepared a screen designed for smartphones, as there smartphones are many smartphone users who have needs for asset building. Introduction of functions Customers can choose from Purchase by accumulation for choosing services and One-time payment purchase. (The function is also to be applied to Tsumitate NISA, a new product.) (4) Extensive information provision regarding commissions Presentation of the explicit concept of commissions MHBK MHTB MHSC We decided to clarify the commissions we receive when customers purchase or retain investment products, such as investment trust funds, and to communicate the concept to the customer in a non-misleading way. Please see Communication of the explicit concept of commissions for details. URL: https://www.mizuho-fg.com/release/pdf/20171110release_eng_3fee.pdf 11

3. Attentive Follow-Up Service to Help Customers Achieve Their Goals Action Plans We will further promote and enhance our provision of appropriate information and advice that assists customers in making appropriate investment decisions, through after-sales follow-up, such as: 1) confirmation of the state of customer assets with changes in the environment surrounding investment and 2) portfolio diagnosis based on the customers respective goals. We will facilitate system solutions including the advancement of operations and the establishment of electronic forms and documents to further improve the accuracy of our business activities. Progress of the action plan initiatives (1) Improvement in information provision and advice through after-sales follow-up Customer satisfaction survey including after-sales follow-up MHBK MHTB MHSC Mizuho is performing customer satisfaction surveys, including for after-sales follow-up. Please see Page 15 for details on the initiatives in this area. We are also expanding the scheme of information provision through each initiative mentioned in 2. Providing Investment Products to Customers via Consulting Services. (2) Reliable execution and advancement of business operations Enhancement of paperless transaction request acceptance MHBK MHTB Mizuho has been promoting the advancement of a transaction process using the latest technologies. In October 2016, MHBK introduced a new process, in which the procedure of accepting requests for investment trust funds, etc., is completed via a tablet terminal. As a result, the time necessary to process the requests has been reduced by half. Along with the above, we started the acceptance of paperless application for life insurance policies issued by several insurance companies, via tablet terminals. The following are the benefits of our paperless application scheme. Reduction of time and improvement of accuracy in application procedures Increase in the speed of underwriting by insurance companies 12

MHTB is also making efforts to introduce web solutions for applications for the products of certain life insurance companies. We will continue to enhance the products covered by paperless processing with in cooperation with life insurance companies. 4. Laying Foundations to Help Customers Invest with Confidence and Steadily Build Their Assets Action Plans We will enhance opportunities to provide various information and seminars that help to improve the financial and investment knowledge of our customers and to obtain market information in accordance with the purchase channel of our customers, such as over-thecounter or via the internet, and with their needs for asset management. We will enhance the education of our sales personnel and improve the administration of their performance evaluations to ensure good and appropriate consulting in response to the diverse needs of customers regarding asset management. Progress of the action plan initiatives (1) Enhancing the provision of services that help customers improve their financial and investment knowledge New offer: Tsumitate (Accumulation) NISA MHBK MHSC MHBK and MHSC will start selling the Tsumitate (Accumulation) NISA, which is a new tax-exempt product newly introduced with the tax reform in 2017 with the intention to support the long-term and incremental investment of the customers. This product can effectively support the steady asset building of customers in their working years through asset distribution, holding period diversification, and long-term retention. We will therefore actively recommend products to our customers. We have established a scheme to refer MHTB customers to MHBK if they are interested in Tsumitate NISA. (2) Enhancement of the education of sales personnel Further improvement of personnel capabilities through enhanced qualifications MHBK MHTB MHSC At MHBK, MHTB, and MHSC, we strive to understand our customers respective goals, and we have been strongly encouraging all MHBK, MHTB, and MHSC employees to obtain 13

qualifications for Financial Planner (FP) 1 st grade and Securities Analyst so as to develop their resources in an organized manner, so that they can provide consulting services of the highest quality. We will set the number of employees having such qualifications as a KPI and will disclose such regularly to further improve our consulting services.

Trust and Appreciation by Customers Customer Satisfaction Survey MHBK MHTB MHSC We aim to provide services that can truly satisfy a broad range of customers by ensuring the implementation and continuous improvement of the action plans based on the Policies Regarding Mizuho s Fiduciary Duties. We started the customer satisfaction questionnaire surveys by sending them out via postal mail, with the aim of honing our practice of fiduciary duty in asset management-related businesses, in addition to the other surveys that we had been conducting, all in order to understand the level of satisfaction of our customers and to use our findings for the continuous improvement of our business.
