Nomura : Announces Changes to Board of Directors(PDF 21KB)

News Release

Since becoming an outside director of Nomura Holdings in 2010, Dame Clara has brought extensive experience in financial services to the board and contributed significantly to the firm's development. Her achievements and insights have been evaluated highly both within and outside of the firm.

"I have very much enjoyed working with my board colleagues and management at Nomura over the last seven years. Nomura has a progressive board and a strong corporate governance model, to which I believe I have made a contribution. However, the UK now faces a period of great change and I have been offered an opportunity to support its economic potential," said Dame Clara Furse.

"Nomura is itself working to deliver a significant transformation in its business and I regret that I will not be there to see it through. I am very proud to have worked with Nomura's people. I wish them all the best and expect many successes in their endeavours to build the future of the firm".

Dame Clara will step down from the board upon the conclusion of Nomura's current fiscal year ending March 2017. Nomura Holdings wishes her all the best for her future endeavors.
