It should be noted that the notation “関東財務局長（外）第XX号” was used as a registration number for foreign securities firms until 2006. However, following the repeal of the “Law on Foreign Securities Firms” in 2006, this notation is no longer in use. Under the current Financial Instruments and Exchange Act, all foreign securities firms are registered using the notation “関東財務局長（金商）第XX号”, which means Kanto Local Finance Bureau (FIBO : Financial Instruments Business Operators) No. XX.
