  1. Summary of the Consolidated Business Results

    1. Summary of the Consolidated Business Results

      Looking back at the Japanese economy during the nine months of fiscal year 2025, despite the continued uncertainty due to factors such as continued price increases and U.S. trade policies, the economy has been recovering moderately due to improvements in employment and income conditions.

      Looking at financial conditions, the uncollateralized overnight call rate rapidly rose from the high 0.40% to exceed 0.72% due to the Bank of Japan's policy rate hike. Secondary yield of long-term government bonds fell from around 1.50% to the lower 1.10%, but gradually moved up, rose to exceed 2.00% at the end of the period. The Nikkei Stock Average temporarily rose from around 36,000-yen to the record high in the mid 52,000-yen's, and remained around 50,000-yen toward the end of the period.

      The Chiba Bank Group believes that its purpose as a corporate group is to provide not only functional value centered on financial services such as deposits, loans, and exchange, but also social value such as contributing to solving local issues. To share our thoughts with our customers, shareholders, employees, and all other stakeholders, to continue to be close to each and every company in the community, and to make the community "a place where stakeholders' hope come true," we have defined the Purpose as "to create a local community better suited to bringing each person's hope to life".

      For the Purpose, the Bank Group has set the Vision as "an Engagement Bank Group that works closely with the community" and aims to be "a banking group that continues to grow together with the community by providing value backed by deep relationships with customers, shareholders, employees, and other stakeholders".

      Under such financial and economic environment and management policies, financial results for the nine months of FY2025 were as follows.

      Ordinary income was 323,670 million yen, an increase of 61,068 million yen compared to the previous year, mainly due to an increase in interest income. Ordinary expenses were 223,956 million yen, an increase of 41,076 million yen compared to the previous year, mainly due to an increase in interest expenses.

      As a result, ordinary profit was 99,714 million yen, an increase of 19,991 million yen, while profit attributable to owners of parent was 68,805 million yen, an increase of 14,271 million yen compared to the previous year.

    2. Summary of the Consolidated Financial Conditions

      Total assets as of December 31, 2025 were 20,749.2 billion yen, a decrease of 882.0 billion yen compared to March 31, 2025. Figures for the Bank's major accounts were as follows.

      The balance of deposits as of December 31, 2025 was 16,317.3 billion yen, an increase of 65.3 billion yen compared to March 31 2025, mainly due to increased retail deposits. This growth reflects our continued efforts to provide a full range of financial products and services as a means to encourage customers to make the Chiba Bank their main banking institution for household needs. The Bank also continued to proactively respond to the funding needs of its customers. As a result, the balance of loans and bills discounted as of December 31, 2025 was 14,002.5 billion yen, an increase of 819.4 billion yen compared to March 31, 2025. The balance of held of securities was 3,387.1 billion yen, an increase of 208.1 billion yen compared to March 31, 2025.

    (Note Regarding Additional Information)

    (Memorandum of Understanding regarding Management Consolidation Between The Chiba Bank, Ltd. and The Chiba Kogyo Bank, Ltd.)

    The Bank resolved, at the boards of directors held on September 29, 2025, to conclude a memorandum of understanding with The Chiba Kogyo Bank, Ltd. ( "Chiba Kogyo Bank") (Chiba Bank and Chiba Kogyo Bank are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Banks") to proceed with discussions and deliberations toward implementing a management consolidation by establishing a holding company (the "Management Consolidation") , and the Banks entered into a memorandum of understanding.

    1. Philosophy and objectives of the Management Consolidation

      The aim of the Management Consolidation is for the Banks, both of which already possess customer bases in Chiba Prefecture and the Tokyo metropolitan area, to"step up"to a new banking group for the region.

      In the Management Consolidation, the Banks agree to respect each other's operational autonomy and self-reliance to the maximum extent, and to engage in discussions and deliberations aimed at "strengthening regional financial capabilities through two brands built on mutual trust and respect." The Banks will respect each other's approach and policy toward customers to the maximum extent in today's business environment, where customer needs and challenges to be addressed are diversifying and becoming more complex. At the same time, the Banks will enhance and diversify the solutions offered to customers while pursuing productivity and efficiency through the establishment of collaborative relationships that leverage the Banks' customer relationships and autonomy, mutual utilization of the Banks' respective strengths in products, services, and expertise, and by leveraging each other's management resources as their customer bases expand. Through these measures, the Banks will provide customers and the community with an enhanced customer experience and greater added value.

      In addition, amid intensifying competition in the financial sector to enhance service convenience driven by technological innovation in financial services and cross-industry expansion, the Banks believe it is essential to secure diverse personnel early on to enable value creation and handling of issues in specialized fields. Through collaboration between the Banks, sharing management resources, and fostering talent by sharing knowledge, experience, and expertise in accordance with mutual trust and respect, the Banks will not only secure professional personnel but also create new growth opportunities for employees and build a system where each employee can maximize their abilities and shine in their own way.

      Furthermore, as the long-standing policy of monetary easing undergoes significant review and competition in the financial sector is expected to intensify with the arrival of a "world with positive interest rates," and as strengthening resilience-including measures against financial crimes and cybersecurity-becomes increasingly vital to ensure that customers can use our services safely and securely, the Banks strongly recognize that their responsibility to provide financial infrastructure is now more significant than ever before and they consider it their social mission to contribute to the maintenance and development of a stable and sound regional financial system. By leveraging the complementary strengths and networks of the Banks within Chiba Prefecture and ensuring the stability of the regional economy through the continued operation and further strengthening of a sound regional financial system, the Banks will contribute to the sustainable development of regional communities.

      Regarding the management structure of the Banks following the Management Consolidation, the Banks will determine through future discussions based on the premise of respecting each other's operational autonomy and self-reliance to the maximum extent.

    2. Form of management consolidation

      1. Form

        The Banks will proceed with discussions and deliberations toward establishing a bank holding company (the "Holding Company") as the wholly-owning parent company of the Banks through a joint share transfer (the "Share Transfer") (i.e., making the Share Transfer effective), on or around April 1, 2027, subject to obtaining approval at the respective shareholders meetings of the Banks, and authorizations, approvals, certifications and/or permissions by relevant authorities required for the execution of the Management Consolidation. In addition, following the Management Consolidation, the Banks, which will become subsidiaries of the Holding Company, do not plan to conduct a merger, based on the judgment that conducting business development that leverages their respective strengths will lead to the realization of the objectives of the Management Consolidation.

      2. Policy regarding the listing of the Holding Company

      It is planned that the Holding Company will apply for a technical listing of its shares of common stock on the Prime Market of the Tokyo Stock Exchange. In addition, since the Banks will each become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Holding Company through the Share Transfer, the shares of the Banks will be delisted from the Tokyo Stock Exchange prior to the effective date of the Share Transfer.

    3. Overview of the Holding Company

      It is planned that the name and the address of the head office of the Holding Company will be determined in a definitive agreement regarding the Management Consolidation (the "Definitive Agreement") upon future discussions between the Banks. The addresses of the head offices and the principal offices of Chiba Bank and Chiba Kogyo Bank, which will both become subsidiaries of the Holding Company, will remain unchanged. It is anticipated that the initial organizational structure of the Holding Company after the Management Consolidation will be that of a company with an audit and supervisory committee, and it is planned that the details of the organizational structure and officers will be determined in the Definitive Agreement upon discussions between the Banks.

    4. Share Transfer Ratio

      The share transfer ratio for the Share Transfer will be announced as soon as it is determined through discussions in good faith between the Banks, based on various factors including the results of the due diligence to be conducted in the future and the results of the calculation of the share transfer ratio by the third-party appraisers appointed respectively by the Banks.

    5. Establishment of a preparatory committee on management consolidation

      In order to facilitate the smooth progress of the Management Consolidation, the Banks will, promptly after entering into the Memorandum of Understanding, establish a preparatory committee on management consolidation and engage in focused discussions regarding the Management Consolidation.

In addition, the execution of the Management Consolidation is subject to obtainment of the required authorizations, approvals, certifications and/or permissions by relevant authorities (including the filing of a Form F-4 registration statement with the

      U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and the coming into effect of the registration statement, and Banks plan to obtain the approval under the Act on Special Measures concerning Act on Prohibition of Private Monopolization and Maintenance of Fair Trade to Maintain Provision of Fundamental Services Pertaining to Regional Motor Carrier Services for Ride-Sharing by General Passengers and Banking Business), and if, pursuant to the status of obtaining such authorizations, approvals, certifications and/or permissions, any reason may be arose that delays the schedule of the Management Consolidation.

      Note 1: "Gains/losses" on held-to-maturity bonds are calculated as the difference between the book value on the balance sheet (after applying the amortized cost method and after write-offs) and the market value. "Gains/losses" on other securities are calculated as the difference between the book value on the balance sheet (market value) and the acquisition cost.

      Note 2: The tables above include negotiable certificates of deposit in "Cash and due from banks" and beneficiary rights to the trust in "Monetary claims bought" in addition to "Securities".

      *Note: The Bank performs deferred hedging operations on its bond and foreign bond positions through derivative transactions a s a way to reduce market value fluctuation risk. The gains/losses on valuation of these operations are as follows.
