Issuance of Stock Options (Stock Acquisition Rights) to Employees and Others

TOKYO, Japan – July 8, 2008 – Today, an executive officer of ORIX Corporation announced the issuing terms for granting stock acquisition rights in the form of stock options, to employees of the Company, and directors and employees of subsidiaries and affiliates of the Company based upon resolutions of the 45th Annual General Meeting of Shareholders of ORIX Corporation and Board of Director’s meeting both held on June 24, 2008. The details are given below.

1. Allocation Date of Stock Acquisition Rights (Issue Date)

July 23, 2008

2. Recipients of the Stock Acquisition Rights

The stock acquisition rights are to be issued to a total of 490 individuals that includes employees of the Company, and directors, and employees of subsidiaries etc. of the Company.

The employees of the Company referred to above include persons who overlap as directors, corporate auditors or employees of the Subsidiaries etc. of the Company.

3. Type and number of shares to be issued pursuant to the stock acquisition rights

The number of shares to be issued shall be 10 shares per unit of the stock acquisition rights. If the Company effects a share split (including allocation of shares for free, hereinafter the same) or reverse share split, which becomes effective after the conclusion of the 45th Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, the number of shares to be issued per unit of the stock acquisition rights (hereinafter referred to as the “Number of Shares Granted”) shall be adjusted according to the following formula; provided, however, that such adjustment shall be made only to the Number of Shares Granted that have not been exercised at the time of the share split or reverse share split, and any fractional amount of less than one share resulting from such calculation shall be disregarded.

Number of Shares Granted after adjustment = Number of Shares Granted before adjustment × Ratio of share split or reverse share split

In the event that the Company effects a merger, de-merger, share-swap or share-transfer, which becomes effective after the conclusion of the 45th Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, or that other inevitable reasons occur, the Number of Shares Granted shall be adjusted to the extent reasonable.

4. Number of stock acquisition rights to be issued

The number of stock acquisition rights to be issued shall be 11,338 units. The total number of shares to be issued or transferred upon exercise of the stock acquisition rights shall be 113,380 shares of the Company, provided, however, that if the adjustment to the Number of Shares Granted set forth in 3 above has been made, the total number of shares to be issued or transferred upon exercise of the stock acquisition rights shall be adjusted as well.

5. Whether it is necessary to make monetary payment in exchange for stock acquisition rights

Monetary payment is not required in exchange for the stock acquisition rights.

6. Value of property to be invested at the time of exercising stock acquisition rights and method used for its calculation

The value of property to be invested into the Company at the time of exercising one unit of the stock acquisition rights shall be the product of the amount to be paid in at the time of exercising stock acquisition rights per share to be determined by description below (hereinafter referred to as the “Exercise Price”), multiplied by the Number of Shares Granted set forth in 3 above.

The Exercise Price shall be equal to the average of the closing prices of ordinary shares of the Company traded on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on each of the 30 trading days (excluding days on which no trading is made) commencing on the 45th trading day preceding July 22, 2008 on which the Exercise Price is determined, i.e., one day before the allocation day, with fractional amounts of less than one yen to be rounded up to one yen; provided, however, that if the price so calculated is less than the closing price on the date that the Exercise Price is determined (or if there is no closing price on that day, the closing price on the closest trading day preceding the date when the Exercise Price is determined), the Exercise Price shall be such closing price.

In the event that there is a share split or a reverse share split, which becomes effective after the conclusion of the 45th Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted in accordance with the following formula, and any fractional amount of less than one yen resulting from such adjustment shall be rounded up to one yen.
