ORIX Signs Share Transfer Agreement of Greenko Energy and New Investment in its Affiliate Company

TOKYO, Japan – January 20, 2025 - ORIX Corporation (“ORIX”) announced today that it has decided to enter into a share transfer agreement to sell all shares of Greenko Energy Holdings (“Greenko”), an affiliate company of ORIX, to AM Green Power B.V., a wholly owned subsidiary of AM Green B.V. (“AMG”), which was established by the founders of Greenko and is a next generation energy company. Additionally, ORIX has decided to enter into an agreement to invest in the convertible note issued by AM Green (Luxembourg) S.à.r.l (“AMG Lux”), the parent company that holds all shares of AMG.

ORIX plans to complete the transfer of Greenko shares and underwrite the convertible note by the end of March 2025, subject to receipt of regulatory approvals and satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

Greenko owns major renewable energy companies in India and operates renewable energy power generation facilities with a total installed capacity of 7.3 GW^*1, including solar, wind, and hydroelectric power generation. In addition, Greenko is advancing the development of large-scale pumped storage power generation.

ORIX has supported Greenko’s business growth since it invested in March 2021^*2. ORIX decided to sell all its shares in Greenko and reinvest in AMG Lux as part of its capital recycling strategy. ORIX aims to invest in the next generation of the energy sector (including green molecule) by using part of these funds, an area expected to grow rapidly as the world works towards achieving decarbonization.

AMG is a new platform focusing on decarbonization and green solutions and was established in 2023 by the founders/promoters of Greenko, Anil Chalamalasetty and Mahesh Kolli. AMG has been developing projects to produce green hydrogen^*3 and green ammonia^*4, and to manufacture water electrolysis equipment that is essential for green hydrogen production. AMG has plans to produce 5 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) of green ammonia, with the first 1 MTPA project located in Kakinada (in Andhra Pradesh, India) which is under construction with targeted commissioning during the 2nd half of 2026. AMG has also signed binding term sheets with the likes of Uniper SE, an energy company, and Yara Clean Ammonia, a trader and distributor of ammonia, to supply green ammonia to Europe. In the future, AMG aims to expand its business to include the production of green hydrogen, synthetic fuels such as methanol, as well as the production of SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel) using biomass-derived raw materials, and to become a platform company that builds a value chain for next generation energy.

ORIX has positioned its renewable energy business as one of its key strategic growth areas. In addition to expanding its power generation business in Japan, including solar, geothermal, and wind power, ORIX is also developing its power generation business around the world. In 2023, ORIX made Elawan Energy S.L., a global renewable energy company headquartered in Spain, a wholly owned ORIX Group company^*5. The company currently has approximately 4.5GW^*1 of renewable energy capacity worldwide.

As the energy transition from the existing system based on fossil fuels to clean energy is progressing as part of the journey towards a decarbonized society, the market for next generation energy is expected to grow significantly. Through this investment, ORIX aims to expand its business areas in the energy transition field while striving to contribute to the realization of a sustainable society through its corporate activities.

This transaction is subject to conditions precedent, including obtaining the necessary approvals under the Indian Competition Act and the financing of the transferee. In addition, the amount of a gain on the sale may fluctuate due to factors such as exchange rate fluctuations. Therefore, the amount of the impact on the current business performance is undetermined.

If the sale price is estimated using the exchange rate as of January 16, 2025, (USD 1 = ¥156.46), ORIX expects to record the gain on the sale of approximately ¥96.5 billion before costs are deducted in the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025. If the conditions precedent is not satisfied or if the assumptions for the calculation of the gain on the sale change significantly in the future, ORIX will disclose this in a timely manner. The gain on the sale resulting from this matter has already been incorporated into the consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025, as stated in the Consolidated Financial Results published on May 8, 2024, and there are no changes to this forecast.
