Rhea-AI Filing Summary

ORIX Corporation reports that an affiliate has signed an equity interest transfer agreement to sell 100% of IX NTI Holdings, LLC, the holding company for U.S.-based Network Connex, to NTI Buyer LLC, an Olympus Partners–affiliated special purpose company. IX NTI Holdings, invested in 2018 via ORIX Capital Partners, has supported add‑on acquisitions, organic growth and governance improvements, with Network Connex’s revenue reaching a record high in the previous fiscal year. ORIX will transfer its membership interest from 100.00% to 0.00%, so IX NTI Holdings will cease to be a specified subsidiary after closing, which is planned promptly once conditions precedent, including Hart‑Scott‑Rodino antitrust approvals, are satisfied. ORIX states that the gain on the sale cannot yet be reasonably estimated and that there is no revision to its consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026.

Insights

ORIX plans a full exit from Network Connex’s holding company, but financial impact is still undefined.

ORIX is divesting IX NTI Holdings, LLC, the holding company for Network Connex, by transferring 100% of its membership interest to NTI Buyer LLC, an entity indirectly owned by Olympus Partners funds. This converts a successful private equity investment into realized value once conditions are met.

IX NTI Holdings showed revenue growth from USD262.5 million in FY22.12 to USD284.5 million in FY24.12, but net profit swung from a USD9.8 million profit to a USD38.0 million loss over the same period. Closing depends on conditions precedent, including approvals under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act.

ORIX notes that foreign exchange and other factors will affect the eventual gain on sale and that it cannot yet reasonably estimate that gain. As of this disclosure, ORIX keeps its consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026 unchanged, indicating that any material impact will be announced only after the transaction is completed and quantifiable.

Notice Regarding Transfer of Equity Interest (change in subsidiary): IX NTI Holdings, LLC (U.S. PE Investment: Network Connex)

TOKYO, Japan – April 14, 2026 – ORIX Corporation (”ORIX”) announced today that one of its affiliates has entered into an equity interest transfer agreement on April 13, 2026 U.S. Time with a special purpose company (“The SPC”) affiliated with Olympus Partners (”Olympus”) to transfer all of the equity interest in IX NTI Holdings, LLC (“IX NTI Holdings”) to Olympus.

1. Purpose of transfer of all equity interest

IX NTI Holdings is the holding company for NTI Connect, LLC (DBA “Network Connex”), in which our company invested*1 in 2018 through a fund managed by ORIX Capital Partners (“OCP”), the operationally-focused private equity (PE) team of our wholly owned subsidiary, ORIX Corporation USA. Network Connex was founded in 2003 and provides network deployment solutions in data centers, fiber optics, and wireless services in the United States.

Since our investment, OCP has made significant contributions to Network Connex, including add-on acquisitions, organic growth initiatives, strengthening governance and operational improvements. Network Connex continues to deliver strong performance, with revenue reaching a record high in the previous fiscal year.

In this context, OCP has determined that Olympus, a PE fund, would be the optimal partner to support the continued growth of Network Connex and therefore resolved to transfer its equity interest.

As of the date of this announcement, the amount of the gain on the sale remains undetermined, and therefore, there is no revision to the consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026.
