Notice regarding Share Transfer of ORIX Bank Corporation, a Consolidated Subsidiary of ORIX Corporation

TOKYO, Japan – April 27, 2026 – ORIX Corporation (“ORIX”) announced today that it has decided to transfer all shares in ORIX Bank Corporation (“ORIX Bank”), a consolidated subsidiary of ORIX, to Daiwa Next Bank, Ltd. (“Daiwa Next Bank”), a consolidated subsidiary of Daiwa Securities Group Inc. (“Daiwa Securities Group”) (such transfer, the “Share Transfer”), and has entered into a share transfer agreement with Daiwa Next Bank (the “Share Transfer Agreement”).

1. Purpose of the Share Transfer

ORIX Bank was originally established in 1993 as Yamaichi Trust & Bank, Ltd., and joined the ORIX Group in 1998. As the group’s core banking company, it has developed businesses based on an approach unconstrained by conventional banking frameworks. By operating without physical branches or ATMs and focusing on transactions via the internet, it keeps operating costs low and is able to offer attractive deposit interest rates. In addition, it has an established business model centered on real estate-related lending and trust functions and currently focuses its operations on real estate investment loans and corporate loans.

In its real estate investment loan business, ORIX Bank provides financing for individual investors purchasing investment properties for the purpose of earning rental income, and holds a leading market share in the industry.

Its corporate loan business provides financing to industry sectors with strong growth potential, such as renewable energy and logistics facilities, while also promoting an asset-turnover business model through the securitization business by leveraging its trust functions.

Daiwa Securities Group, guided by its management policy of “Maximizing the Value of Customer Assets,” is working to strengthen its asset consulting services for both individual and corporate customers. Daiwa Next Bank upholds the management vision of becoming “the best partner for building customer assets” and, since commencing operations in 2011 to function as a gateway to the group’s securities business, has achieved steady growth by focusing on low-cost management and a market-based investment business model.

ORIX has been supporting the foundational strength and growth of ORIX Bank by leveraging ORIX Group’s broad sales network and sophisticated financial know-how. In addition to its strong lending capabilities and trust functions, ORIX Bank has a highly specialized workforce, and its financial performance has remained solid, while its asset base is expanding steadily. However, the banking industry is entering a period of structural change, driven not only by the shift to a higher interest-rate environment but also by intensifying cross-sector competition amid ongoing digitalization. In addition, ORIX has set targets for 2035 of 15% ROE and 1 trillion yen net income, and is working to improve capital efficiency through the expansion of its asset management business.


Table of Contents

In light of these changes in business environment and its management vision, ORIX has determined that, in order to achieve further growth for ORIX Bank, the optimal path is to allow it to develop as a comprehensive banking group, promptly responding to the shift toward a rising interest rate environment from the previous deflationary phase, and to enable it to expand into new customer segments and business opportunities. With this in mind, ORIX has determined that Daiwa Securities Group is the ideal partner to enhance the corporate value of ORIX Bank on a sustainable basis, thanks to its financial platform integrating securities and banking services, its strong capital and customer base, and high degree of strategic compatibility. Therefore, ORIX has decided to proceed with the Share Transfer.
