ORIX and its group companies in Japan are incorporated under, and our corporate activities are primarily governed by, the Companies Act and other Japanese laws. However, because certain of ORIX’s group companies are organized in jurisdictions other than Japan, and ORIX and its group companies are involved in diverse businesses, joint ventures and acquisitions in overseas jurisdictions, including in the United States, Europe, Asia and Oceania, we are therefore subject to various laws and regulations in each jurisdiction in which they are organized or operate, including, but not limited to, regulations relating to corporate governance, business and investment approvals, competition, anti-corruption, anti-money laundering and terrorism financing, consumer and business taxation, foreign exchange controls, intellectual property and personal information protection. In recent years, there has been an increasing number of laws and regulations on competition, anti-corruption, anti-money laundering and terrorism financing, and personal data protection that can apply directly to business activities taking place outside of the jurisdiction that enacted such law or regulation (extraterritorial application). Given the need for ORIX and its group companies to deal with the laws and regulations of multiple countries on each legal topic, there has been a tendency for costs to increase as a result of the increasing number of laws and regulations that need to be assessed. In addition, there is an increasing number of cases where significant fines and penalties have been imposed for violations of such laws and regulations. For example, fines for violations of the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation can be up to 4% of total global turnover and fines for violations of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act can be up to twice the benefit sought, in addition to penalties such as disgorgement of profits and prejudgment interest.

The next section describes the main laws and regulations applicable to each of our business segments.

Certain businesses conducted by ORIX and our group companies are governed by the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act. The act was established to regulate activities such as the issuance, sale and purchase of stocks and other securities in order to protect investors and facilitate finance, and requires that any person conducting such activities register with the Prime Minister as a “financial instruments traders.” Financial instruments traders are divided among four classifications depending on the type of business: (1) First Class Financial Instruments Exchange Business, (2) Second Class Financial Instruments Exchange Business, (3) Investment Management Business, and (4) Investment Advisory and Agency Business, and companies in the Corporate Financial Services and Maintenance Leasing segment conducting such activities are registered with the Prime Minister as Second Class Financial Instruments Exchange Businesses. Registered financial instruments traders are obligated to establish an internal management system to ensure compliance with relevant laws and regulations and appropriate management of its business, as well as to provide and deliver material information and explain risks to their customers. The relevant supervisory authority, the FSA, monitors registered financial instruments traders and has the power to order improvement of a business, or suspension of a part or the whole of a business, or to revoke the registration of such a trader that has violated the law, depending on the severity of the violation:

In addition, lodging facilities, such as Japanese inns and hotels, operated by ORIX Hotel Management Corporation have licenses from relevant prefectural governors under the Inns and Hotels Act, etc.

ORIA is registered with the Prime Minister under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act to engage in the investment advisory and agency business and regulated by the FSA.

Any entity attempting to acquire voting rights in an insurance company at or above a specified threshold must receive permission from the Prime Minister in accordance with the Insurance Business Act. ORIX has received such permission as a major shareholder of ORIX Life Insurance.
