TOKYO, Japan — November 4, 2011 — ORIX Corporation (TSE: 8591; NYSE: IX), a leading integrated financial services group, today announced that it will hold a Global Financial Seminar over approximately two weeks from November 7 this year in association with Shanghai City, China.

Shanghai is viewed as one of the key cities for development in China, which has been a driver of the world economy, and the city has contributed to the country’s economic development as a whole.

This is the second such seminar, following the first one held in 2007.

The 11 visiting trainees were selected by the Shanghai City government. They include six executives of main divisions in Shanghai City as well as five executives from major Chinese financial institutions, including a bank, insurance company, securities company and leasing company headquartered in Shanghai.

The seminar will be conducted by approximately 20 presenters from various backgrounds with the necessary expertise related to financial administration and operations, including expertise in global and Japanese economic conditions, financial systems, international financial markets, M&A and corporate valuation, corporate information disclosure and investor relations, and corporate reputation risk.

ORIX is confident that this training program will contribute to the development of Shanghai City as well as help to further solidify economic cooperation between China and Japan.
