ORIX Reenters into a Partial Share Transfer Agreement of Greenko Energy and Decides on New Investment in AM Green (Luxembourg)
TOKYO, Japan – June 30, 2025 – ORIX Corporation (“ORIX”) announced today that on June 29, 2025, it has decided to reenter into a share transfer agreement to sell 17.5% of the 20% share holdings 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 reenter 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 on the same day.
ORIX had announced in January 2025 that it had entered into a share transfer agreement of Greenko and a new investment in AMG Lux *1, but because the conditions precedent had not been satisfied, the agreement had been terminated in April 2025*2. However, after further consideration among related parties, we have decided to reenter into this agreement.
Regulatory approvals under the Indian Competition Act have already been obtained, and ORIX plans to complete the partial transfer of Greenko shares and underwriting of the convertible notes by the end of July 2025.
1. Purpose of the transaction
Greenko owns major renewable energy companies in India and operates renewable energy power generation facilities with a total installed capacity of 7.3 GW*3, 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*4. ORIX decided to sell 17.5% of the 20% share holdings in Greenko and invest 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*5 and green ammonia*6, 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*7. The company currently has approximately 4.7GW*3 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.

8. Future Outlook

If the sale price is estimated using the exchange rate as of June 27, 2025, (USD 1 = ¥144.58), ORIX expects to record a gain on the sale of approximately ¥93.4 billion (including the valuation gain on the 2.5% stake which we will continue to hold) in the consolidated financial statements in the second quarter for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026.
Regarding the impact of the gain on the sale of this transaction as well as the valuation gain to the consolidated financial forecast, after considering not only this transaction but more comprehensively, we have decided not to change our full-year consolidated financial forecast at this time.
We will monitor updates to our business performance and fluctuations in the external environment, and if a change in our full-year consolidated financial forecast becomes necessary, we will disclose this in a timely manner.
