Enhancement of the Shareholder Benefit Program “Furusato Yutai”

TOKYO, Japan - January 27, 2016 - ORIX Corporation ("ORIX") today announced the following decisions concerning the new "Furusato Yutai" shareholder benefit program, which commenced last year.

The "Furusato Yutai" program is a shareholder benefit program wherein individual shareholders domiciled in Japan may select one product from a gift catalog containing specialty products furnished by the ORIX Group's business customers from each region in Japan. We are grateful to have received a very positive response from many of our individual shareholders as well as the trading partners who supplied the gifts for the program last year.

From this year, we will offer a higher level of catalog gifts to those shareholders who have held 100 or more shares, which constitute 1 trading unit, for continuous period of 3 or more years . The objective of launching a catalog gifts program of higher grade is to deepen the understanding of the ORIX Group's management philosophy and policy, ORIX Group's diverse business operations, and ultimately encourage long-term holding of ORIX stock among retail investors.

Furthermore, with regard to shareholder dividends for this fiscal year ending March 2016, ORIX distributed its first-ever interim dividend , and the year-end dividend is expected to be 23 yen, for a total annual dividend of 45 yen, representing a 25% increase year on year.

ORIX highly values its relationship with its customers and considers such nation wide business network to be its business foundation. ORIX will continue to make contribution to the growth and prosperity of Japan by supporting its customers' business expansion.
