ORIX Corporation (TSE: 8591; NYSE: IX), a diversified financial services group with a market capitalization of $25.82 billion and a solid P/E ratio of 9.84, announced today the completion of its restricted stock disposal, initially decided on October 2, 2024.
According to InvestingPro data, the company has demonstrated strong performance with a 22.39% year-to-date return. The company has disclosed a slight adjustment in the number of shares disposed of, the number of allottees, and the total disposal amount due to partial forfeiture of shares.
The revised details of the disposal include 141,300 shares of common stock, down from the planned 141,700 shares. The disposal price remained unchanged at 3,363 Yen per share. Consequently, the total value of shares disposed of is now 475,191,900 Yen, slightly lower than the previously announced 476,537,100 Yen.
The shares were allocated to 234 employees of ORIX Corporation and 81 employees of its subsidiaries, a reduction by one employee from the original list due to forfeiture of the right to the shares.
This disposal took place today, aligning with the company's earlier schedule. The reason for the change, as stated by ORIX, is due to one originally intended allottee no longer meeting the requirements at the time of the share allotment. InvestingPro data shows that ORIX has maintained dividend payments for 33 consecutive years, demonstrating its commitment to shareholder value.
ORIX has indicated that the impact of these changes on its consolidated financial results for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025, is expected to be minimal.
The company, with its headquarters in Tokyo, Japan, operates in various sectors including financing and investment, life insurance, banking, and asset management, among others. ORIX has a global presence in approximately 30 countries and regions with a workforce of around 34,000 as of September 30, 2024.
