ORIX was established in April, 1964 in Osaka, Japan as Orient Leasing Co.,
Ltd. by three trading companies and five banks that included Nichimen Corporation,
Nissho Corporation and Iwai Corporation (presently Sojitz Corporation), the
Sanwa Bank (presently The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd.), Toyo Trust &
Banking (presently Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking Corporation), the Industrial
Bank of Japan and Nippon Kangyo Bank (presently Mizuho Bank, Ltd.), and the
Bank of Kobe (presently Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation).
Our initial development occurred during the period of sustained economic growth
in Japan during the 1960s and the early 1970s. We capitalized on the growing
demand in this period by expanding our portfolio of leasing assets.
During this time, our marketing strategy shifted from a focus on using the established
networks of the trading companies and other initial shareholders to one that
concentrated on independent marketing as the number of our branches expanded.
In April 1970, we listed our Shares on the second section of the Osaka
Securities Exchange. Since February 1973, our Shares have been listed on the
first sections of the Tokyo Stock Exchange and the Osaka Securities Exchange
(which was integrated into Tokyo Stock Exchange in 2013). ORIX was also listed
on the first section of the Nagoya Stock Exchange from February 1973 to October
2004.
