ORIX’s Investment Policy
The underperformance in Daikyo’s results are believed to be a temporary effect of the sudden downturn of the real estate market. Therefore, ORIX will acquire 10 billion yen in preferred shares of Daikyo upon the request of both companies, however there is no change to ORIX’s original stance of “non-strategic” investment in Daikyo. In order for Daikyo to weather the continued severe operating environment, ORIX will continue to support Daikyo’s plans for restructuring.

Announcement Regarding the Basic Agreement of the Transfer of ORIX Facilities Corporation to
Daikyo Astage Incorporated
TOKYO, Japan – November 7, 2008 – ORIX Corporation (TSE: 8591; NYSE: IX), a leading integrated financial services group, announced today the basic agreement and decision to transfer ORIX’s wholly-owned subsidiary ORIX Facilities Corporation (OFC, hereinafter) to Daikyo Astage, Incorporated (Astage, hereinafter), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Daikyo Incorporated (Daikyo, hereinafter).
| 1. | Outline of Transfer |
Daikyo announced the expansion of its property management business to establish a business model to flexibly respond to market turmoil in the prolonged severe operating environment.
With approximately 330,000 condominiums under management, Astage is a central element of the Daikyo Group and is the industry’s largest condominium management company. It is showing growth in the number of units under management and increased major renovation construction contracts. However, in addition to strengthened operations by increasing the number of units under management and renovation contracts, Astage has been searching for a way to expand operations beyond condominium management.
OFC offers total facility management support services with particular expertise in facility maintenance and services assisting increased efficiency in building management. OFC maintains a stable client base throughout the Osaka metropolitan area.
The integration of OFC in to Daikyo Group property management business is expected to result in an expanded client base, diversification of services, expanded business opportunities by capitalizing on each company’s unique expertise, and cost reduction through a shared network. The integration will lead to increased property management revenues and an expanded stable revenue base for the Daikyo Group, prompting ORIX and Daikyo to reach a basic agreement regarding the transfer of OFC to Astage.
Further details regarding the transfer will be announced as decided.
