Announcement Regarding the Exercise of Acquisition Right of the Preferred Stock of DAIKYO INCORPORATED

TOKYO, Japan - January 17, 2014 - ORIX Corporation (TSE: 8591; NYSE: IX), a leading integrated financial services group, announced today that it has decided to exercise its acquisition right with respect to all of the type-2 preferred stock, type-4 preferred stock, type-7 preferred stock and type-8 preferred stock of DAIKYO INCORPORATED ("Daikyo") owned by ORIX and acquire common stocks of Daikyo as consideration (the "Exercise of the Acquisition Right"). Following the completion of the Exercise of the Acquisition Right, the share of voting rights owned by ORIX in Daikyo will become 64.1% and Daikyo will become a consolidated subsidiary of ORIX.
1. Background and Purpose of the Exercise of the Acquisition Right
In March, 2005, ORIX entered into a capital alliance with the Daikyo Group, which is involved in condominium development and management businesses, and subscribed 133,720,000 shares of the common stock of Daikyo and acquired 10,000,000 shares of the type-1 preferred stock, 15,000,000 shares of the type-2 preferred stock and 25,000,000 shares of the type-4 preferred stock (In June, 2008, Daikyo repurchased a part of the type-2 preferred stock and type-4 preferred stock acquired by ORIX.). Furthermore, ORIX subscribed 25,000,000 shares of the type-7 preferred stock and obtained 23,598,144 shares of the type-8 preferred stock of Daikyo in March 2009. After entering into the capital alliance with ORIX, the Daikyo Group has shifted its business model from a business model focused on "Flow business", such as development and sale of condominium, to a business model that is well-balanced between such "Flow business" and "Stock business", such as management and brokerage of condominiums, and has
built a more stable earnings structure.
Based on these circumstances, ORIX has decided to exercise the acquisition right in order to increase the share of voting rights owned by ORIX in Daikyo without making additional investments to increase equity in earnings.
ORIX intends to maintain the current management structure of the Daikyo Group after making Daikyo a consolidated subsidiary, provide support to the Daikyo Group as before and endeavor to enhance its corporate value. The ORIX Group and the Daikyo Group will further promote business cooperation and collaboration in the fields of retail related business, environment and energy business, etc.
2. Summary of the Exercise of the Acquisition Right
ORIX plans to acquire the common stock of Daikyo by exercising the acquisition right with respect to all of the type-2 preferred stock, type-4 preferred stock, type-7 preferred stock and type-8 preferred stock of Daikyo which are currently owned by ORIX. Specifically, ORIX plans to exercise the acquisition right with
