Announcement Regarding Simplified Absorption-Type Company Split

of ORIX Real Estate Corporation

TOKYO, Japan – May 9, 2014 – ORIX Corporation (TSE: 8591; NYSE: IX) a leading integrated financial services group, announced today that it has resolved to absorb the part of its subsidiary, ORIX Real Estate Corporation (“ORE”) pursuant to an absorption-type company split (“the Company Split”). The details of the Company Split are as follows.

The contents of this release have been partially abbreviated as ORE is a wholly-owned subsidiary of ORIX.

 

1. Purpose of the Company Split

ORIX is involved in the real estate business as part of its diversified financial services operation. With the integration of ORE’s real estate investment business (“the Business”), ORIX aims to further strengthen its market competitiveness by making effective use of management resources and achieving efficient business operation as the ORIX Group.

 

2. Summary of the Company Split

 

(1) Schedule      
Company Split Resolution Approval Date    May 9, 2014   
Company Split Agreement Execution    May 9, 2014   
Effective Company Split Date (Plan)    July 1, 2014   

The Company Split will be conducted in accordance to regulations governing simplified Company Splits in Item 3, Article 796 of the Company Act of Japan (the Company Act). Accordingly, a general meeting of shareholders of ORIX will not be held in accordance with Item 1, Article 795 of the Company Act. Additionally, because ORIX exercises “special control” over ORE through its ownership of over 90% of ORE’s outstanding voting rights, the Company Split will be conducted in accordance with Item 1, Article 784 of the Company Act governing short-form Company Splits. Accordingly, a general meeting of shareholders of ORE will not be held in accordance with Item 1, Article 783 of the Company Act.

(2) Method of Company Split

Using the Simplified or Short-form absorption-type company split method, ORE will become the splitting company and ORIX will become the succeeding company, with ORIX taking over part of the business of ORE.

(3) Description of allotments relating to the Company Split

There is no allotment of shares or assets related to the Company Split since ORE is a wholly-owned subsidiary of ORIX.

(4) Share warrants or corporate bonds with share warrants upon the Company Split

Not applicable.

(5) Increase and Reduction of the Paid in Capital due to the Company Split

There is no increase or deduction of the paid in capital related to the Company Split.

(6) Rights and Obligation to be Succeeded by the Succeeding Company

ORIX will succeed all of the assets, obligations, contractual statuses, employment relationships, and other related rights and obligation to the Business owned by ORE at the time of effective date, except for the items prescribed in the Absorption-type Company Split Agreement entered into by and between ORIX and ORE in May 9, 2014. Obligations succeeded by ORIX will be also assumed jointly and severally by the original obligator, ORE.

(7) Estimates of the Performance of Liabilities

ORIX owns adequate amount of assets to secure the performance of liabilities succeeded which become due after the effective date of the Company Split. Hence, ORIX has judged that the liabilities succeeded by ORIX under the Company Split are estimated to be performed.
