SONY GROUP CORPORATION (Registrant) By: /s/ Lin Tao   (Signature) Lin Tao Chief Financial Officer Date: October 1, 2025 List of Materials Documents attached hereto: Completion of Execution of Partial Spin-off of Financial Services Business October 1, 2025 Sony Group Corporation Completion of Execution of Partial Spin-off of Financial Services Business Sony Group Corporation (“Sony”) today announced that the distribution of dividends in kind representing the partial spin-off (the “Spin-off”) of Sony Financial Group Inc. (“SFGI”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sony, which operates the Financial Services business, has become effective, and the execution of the Spin-off has been completed. As a result of the execution of the Spin-off, Sony now holds 16.40% of the shares of common stock of SFGI (“SFGI share(s)”) and SFGI is no longer a consolidated subsidiary of Sony, but has become an affiliate of Sony accounted for using the equity method. 1. Carrying amount of dividend property for dividends in kind (non-cash dividends) As a result of the execution of the Spin-off, the carrying amount of dividend property has been finalized as follows. (1) Type of dividend property SFGI shares (2) Total carrying amount of dividend property and value per share 463,885,829,967 yen (77.61 yen per share) (Note 1) (3) Amount of equity to be reduced by dividends in kind Retained earnings: 463,885,829,967 yen (Notes 1 and 2) (Note) 1. The above amount is the carrying amount of the portion of SFGI shares corresponding to the equity interest in SFGI distributed as dividends in kind through the Spin-off, within the carrying amount of SFGI shares recorded in Sony’s standalone financial statements based on generally accepted accounting principles in Japan (“J-GAAP”). In addition, the above value per share is the amount based on the carrying amount for accounting purposes and does not indicate any actual trading price or the equity value of SFGI shares. 2.Under the Companies Act of Japan, the amount available for dividends is calculated based on the amount of equity in Sony’s standalone financial statements based on J-GAAP. Therefore, the above amount represents the impact on equity in Sony’s standalone financial statements. In contrast, in Sony’s consolidated financial statements based on IFRS® Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, Sony will reduce its equity by an amount equal to the fair value of the SFGI shares distributed as dividends in kind. 2. Proportion of distributed assets for Japanese tax purposes As a result of the execution of the Spin-off, the proportion of distributed assets has been finalized as follows, with no change from the final estimate disclosed on September 17, 2025. Proportion of distributed assets (finalized): “0.206” 1 The proportion of distributed assets is a factor necessary for calculating the acquisition cost per share for shares of common stock of Sony and SFGI shares applicable to shareholders for Japanese tax purposes immediately after the Spin-off. Please also refer to the notification expected to be sent in early November 2025 to Sony’s shareholders as of the record date for the dividends in kind, September 30, 2025. 3. Impact of the Spin-off on Sony’s consolidated results The impact of the execution of the Spin-off on Sony’s consolidated results continues to be evaluated and has not been determined at this time*. However, as a result of the reclassification of the Financial Services business’s accumulated other comprehensive income balance at the time of deconsolidation to net income or loss from discontinued operations, Sony expects to record a loss of approximately 1 trillion 400 billion yen (the estimate as of today) within net income or loss from discontinued operations in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026. This accounting treatment is a reclassification between items within equity in the consolidated statements of financial position and does not affect total equity or cash
