Notice regarding Share Transfer of SGK Holdings Corporation, a Consolidated Subsidiary of ORIX Corporation

  1. Purpose of transfer of all shares

    SGK Holdings is a special purpose company established to acquire and own all shares of SUGIKO GROUP HOLDINGS CO., LTD. ("SUGIKO GHDS"), in which our company invested*1in 2020. SUGIKO GHDS is a holding company centered around SUGIKO CO., LTD. ("SUGIKO"), founded in 1953 and handles the rental of scaffolding and temporary construction materials.

    SUGIKO has a long track record in providing scaffolding and temporary construction materials for repair and maintenance projects which require a high level of safety, such as petroleum plants and bridges. In addition, the company actively promotes digitalization by utilizing BIM*2to centrally manage information of construction projects in 3D models, thereby enhancing operational efficiency in construction sites.

    Since our investment, ORIX has been working to enhance the corporate value of SUGIKO through strengthening governance, building a highly competitive organization, and supporting business growth by leveraging ORIX Group's sales network. SUGIKO continues solid performance, expecting both sales and operating profit for this term fiscal year to reach record highs.

    On the other hand, the construction industry is experiencing significant changes in its business environment due to labor shortages and rising inflation. In such an environment, ORIX has determined that Carlyle , which has extensive investment experience and expertise in business management support in the infrastructure business sector, is the optimal partner for SUGIKO GHDS to enhance its corporate value continuously in the future, and decided to proceed with this share transfer.

    Based on the long-term vision and the new three-year plan announced in 2025, ORIX is promoting capital recycling with the aim of improving ROE. ORIX will continue to provide growth-supporting investments that leverage the expertise and networks of ORIX Group, targeting companies with a stable business foundation and promising growth potential.
