ORIX AGM 2025: Two New Directors Elected, All Proposals Pass Easily

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

ORIX (NYSE:IX) filed a routine Form 6-K reporting the official results of its 62nd Annual General Meeting of Shareholders held on 25 June 2025.

All 11 director nominees – nine incumbents and two first-time candidates – were elected with overwhelming support. Approval rates ranged from 97.24 % to 99.78 %; the highest support went to new nominee Miwa Seki (99.78 %). The company explains that a portion of on-site votes was not tallied because each proposal had already secured the required majority through advance proxy submissions.

No other agenda items, financial results, strategic changes, or risk disclosures were included in the filing, making the submission primarily an administrative confirmation of shareholder voting outcomes.

(Notes) Approval requirements for the adoption of each proposal are as follows:

 

  •   Approval of a majority of the voting rights held by the shareholders present at the Meeting who hold in aggregate not less than one-third (1/3) of the voting rights of the shareholders entitled to exercise their voting rights, is required for adoption.

 

(4) Reason for Not Counting a Portion of the Voting Rights of the Shareholders Present at the General Meeting of Shareholders

Since the results of all the proposals were conclusively decided by the exercise of the voting rights prior to the Meeting and a portion of shareholders in attendance at the Meeting, only the number of voting rights for approval, disapproval or abstentions of the shareholders present at the Meeting, which ORIX Corporation was able to confirm, including those of the shareholders present by proxy, has been counted.
