Notice Regarding Company Split (Simplified Absorption-Type Company Split) of Tsukuba Lease Corporation
Tokyo, Japan – April 13, 2026 – ORIX Corporation (“ORIX”) announced today that it has decided to implement an absorption-type company split (the “Company Split”), whereby ORIX and ORIX Auto Corporation (“ORIX Auto”), a consolidated subsidiary of ORIX, will act as the absorbing split successor companies (the “Successor Companies”), and Tsukuba Lease Corporation (“Tsukuba Lease”), a consolidated subsidiary of ORIX, will act as the absorbed split company (the “Split Company”). ORIX has also decided that, following the effectiveness of the Company Split, Tsukuba Lease will be dissolved and liquidated. The business currently operated by Tsukuba Lease will be continued by the Successor Companies after the Company Split.
As the Company Split is implemented as a simplified absorption-type company split involving ORIX’s consolidated subsidiary, ORIX is omitting certain disclosure items and details in this notice.
1. Purpose of the Company Split
The Company Split aims to enhance operational efficiency and effective utilization of management resources through a management integration within the ORIX Group, taking into account the future growth prospects of Tsukuba Lease. Tsukuba Lease is expected to be dissolved and liquidated following the Company Split.
