Notice of Change in Timing of Share Transfer Agreement of Greenko Energy and New Investments in AM Green
TOKYO, Japan – April 1, 2025 – ORIX Corporation (“ORIX”) announced in the January 20, 2025 press release “ORIX Signs Share Transfer Agreement of Greenko Energy and New Investment in its Affiliate Company”*1 that it has decided to enter into a share transfer agreement to sell all shares of Greenko Energy Holdings (“Greenko”), an affiliate company of ORIX, to AM Green Power B.V., a wholly owned subsidiary of AM Green B.V. (“AMG”), which was established by the founders of Greenko and is a next generation energy company. Additionally, ORIX announced that it has decided to enter into an agreement to invest in the convertible note issued by AM Green (Luxembourg) S.à.r.l (“AMG Lux”), the parent company that holds all shares of AMG. Please note that the scheduled execution date of transactions under these agreements have been changed as follows.
1. Scheduled date of share transfer and convertible note investment
(Before change): March 31, 2025 (scheduled)
(After change): Mid-April, 2025 (scheduled)
2. Reason for changing the scheduled execution date
This agreement is subject to conditions precedent, including obtaining the necessary approvals under the Indian Competition Act and the financing of the transferee. Approval under the Indian Competition Act was obtained on March 11, 2025. However, as the terms and conditions of financing for the transferee have not been satisfied as of this date, we have recently decided to change the scheduled execution date of this agreement.
3. Future Outlook
In our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025, ORIX had expected to record a gain on the sale of approximately ¥96.5 billion before costs are deducted. However, due to the change in the scheduled execution date, the gain is expected to be recorded in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026. The forecast for net income for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025, will also be affected, but we do not expect any significant change from the disclosed forecast. For this reason, we will not revise our earnings forecast and plan to announce our full-year results on May 12, 2025.
The full-year dividend forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025 remains unchanged from “the annual dividend is at the higher of either payout ratio of 39% or 98.60 yen per share.”*2 We will provide timely notification if there are any changes.

Filing of Amendment Extraordinary Report
TOKYO, Japan — April 1, 2025 — ORIX Corporation (TSE: 8591; NYSE: IX), a leading integrated financial services group, announced today that it filed an amendment extraordinary report with the Director-General of the Kanto Financial Bureau in Japan concerning the transfer of affiliate (transfer of shares).
1. | Reason for Filing |
On January 17, 2025, we decided to enter into a share transfer agreement (the “Agreement”) with AM Green Power B.V. (“AM Green Power”) and to transfer all of its shares in Greenko Energy Holdings, an affiliate of ORIX Corporation, to AM Green Power. The Agreement is subject to conditions precedent, including obtaining the necessary approvals under the Indian Competition Act and the financing of the transferee. Approval under the Indian Competition Act was obtained on March 11, 2025. However, as the terms and conditions of financing for the transferee have not been satisfied as of this date, we have recently decided to change the scheduled execution date of the Agreement.
Accordingly, in order to amend some of the statements in the extraordinary report submitted on January 20, 2025 pursuant to Article 24-5, paragraph (4) of the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act and Article 19, paragraph (2), item (12) of the Cabinet Office Ordinance on Disclosure of Corporate Information, we have submitted the amendment extraordinary report pursuant to Article 24-5, Paragraph (5) of the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act.

2. Description of Report
(2) Content of such event
On January 17, 2025, we decided to enter into a share transfer agreement with AM Green Power B.V. (“AM Green Power”) and to transfer all of its shares in Greenko Energy Holdings, an affiliate of ORIX Corporation, to AM Green Power. The share transfer is scheduled to be completed on about March 31, 2025.
(3) Impact of the event on income
This transaction is subject to conditions precedent, including obtaining the necessary approvals under the Indian Competition Act and the financing of the transferee. In addition, the amount of a gain on the sale may fluctuate due to factors such as exchange rate fluctuations. Therefore, the amount of the impact on the current business performance is undetermined.
If the sale price is estimated using the exchange rate as of January 16, 2025 (USD 1 = ¥156.46), we expect to record approximately ¥109.3 billion in gains on sales of affiliates as an extraordinary gain in the non-consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025. In the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025, we expect to record approximately ¥96.5 billion in gains on sales of subsidiaries and equity method investments and liquidation losses, net.
If the conditions precedent is not satisfied or if the assumptions for the calculation of the gain on sale change significantly in the future, we will promptly disclose the matter.
