(incorporated with limited liability in the Cayman Islands) ¥400,000,000,000 Programme for the Issuance of Debt Instruments This Base Prospectus has been approved by the United Kingdom Financial Services Authority (the “FSA”), which is the United Kingdom competent authority for the purposes of Directive 2003/71/EC (the “Prospectus Directive”) and relevant implementing measures in the United Kingdom, as a base prospectus issued in compliance with the Prospectus Directive and relevant implementing measures in the United Kingdom for the purpose of giving information with regard to the issue of debt instruments (“Instruments”) issued under the programme (the “Programme”) described in this Base Prospectus during the period of twelve months after the date hereof. An application has been made to admit such Instruments during the period of twelve months after the date hereof to listing on the Official List of the FSA and an application has been made to admit such Instruments to trading on the Regulated Market of the London Stock Exchange plc (the “London Stock Exchange”), which is an EEA Regulated Market (as defined below). The Programme also permits Instruments to be issued on the basis that they will not be admitted to listing, trading and/or quotation by any listing authority, stock exchange and/or quotation system or to be admitted to listing, trading and/or quotation by such other or further listing authorities, stock exchanges and/or quotation systems as may be agreed with Tokio Marine Financial Solutions Ltd (the “Issuer”). The Instruments have the benefit of a Support Agreement (as defined on page 5 of this Base Prospectus) entered into with Tokio Marine & Nichido Fire Insurance Co., Ltd. (“Tokio Marine & Nichido”). See “The Support Agreement” as set out in this Base Prospectus. Instruments have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons except in certain transactions exempt from, or not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Terms used in the preceding sentence have the meanings given to them by Regulation S under the Securities Act. No instruments may be issued under this Programme which are to be admitted to trading on a market which is a regulated market for the purposes of Directive 2004/39/EC (Markets and Financial Instruments Directive) (each an “EEA Regulated Market”) or offered to the public in any EEA Member State which have a minimum denomination of less than EUR 50,000 (or its equivalent in another currency). Investing in the Instruments involves certain risks, in particular, that in the event that the Issuer or any Subsidiary ceased or threatened to cease to carry on all or any substantial part of its business and, in whole or in part as a result of such action, the credit ratings assigned to the Programme were not lowered, this would not in and of itself be an Event of Default (as defined in Condition 7 (Events of Default and Enforcement Events) set out in this Base Prospectus). See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 9 to read about factors that should be carefully considered before investing in the Instruments.
