Comment Regarding the Indictment of Yoshiaki Murakami
TOKYO, Japan –June 23, 2006– Today, Yoshiaki Murakami and MAC Asset Management were indicted on the charge of violating the Securities and Exchange Law. The investment by ORIX in the “Murakami Fund” and the asset management company was conducted on the premise of strict adherence to the law. In addition, ORIX did not participate in the selection of investments involving the “Murakami Fund” and the associated asset management company. Therefore, ORIX is not at all involved in this indictment case. If the facts of this indictment are verified as such, the actions of Mr. Murakami have caused a loss of confidence in the markets, which is most regrettable.
While we believe the facts of this case will become clear in the upcoming court proceedings, ORIX has already completed its disinvestment from the asset management company managing the aforementioned fund. In addition, regarding our investment in the “Murakami Fund” we will respond appropriately, upon considering the intentions of other investors in the fund, by strictly adhering to the law.
ORIX believes that this matter may only have a slight impact on our consolidated financial results as the “Murakami Fund” is just one of the several tens of funds that we consign the management of.
