Notification on the Conclusion of a Joint-Venture Contract for JIA Aviation Finance G.K.

We hereby announce that our corporate group has concluded a joint-venture contract for jointly investing in JIA Aviation Finance G.K. ("JAF"), which currently is a 100% subsidiary of our company, with Taiyoushin Aviation Finance LLC ("Taiyoushin") and Octo Force Management Co. Ltd. ("Octo Force") to operate the aircraft financing business.

Taiyoushin has been established by a premier global investment company.

As Taiyoushin and Octo Force will buy shares of JAF through the allocation of new shares, our ownership ratio for JAF will become 47.5%, and JAF will become an equity-method affiliate. The details are described below.

1. Purpose of the joint venture

Our corporate group conducts financial solution businesses, mainly the Operating Lease Business, the Renewable Energy Business, and the Part Out & Conversion Business, under the management ethos of "always be a company contributing to society by offering financial services."

The Operating Lease Business mainly for aircraft, which is the mainstay, offers one-stop services for receiving orders for lease, managing assets, creating Japanese-style Operating Lease (JOL, JOLCO) investment products, selling financial instruments to investors, and disposing of assets by selling aircraft, etc. via the 100% subsidiary JP Lease Products & Services Co., Ltd. ("JLPS").

To procure funds swiftly in the Operating Lease Business

Our corporate group's Japanese-style Operating Lease (JOL, JOLCO) investment products are based on the procurement of funds from a silent partnership composed of mainly excellent Japanese small and medium- sized enterprises and on the borrowing from financial institutions. The joint venture will enable us to procure funds swiftly and stably for creating financial instruments according to the needs from investors, and we aim to create financial instruments more easily and swiftly according to investors' needs.

If the investment by investors has not been completed at the time of start of business, JLPS will temporarily hold the said equity interests, based on the premise of transferring the equity interests to investors.

  • The silent partnerships operator immediately starts the lease business by leasing the properties to lessees.
  • Lessees pay lease fees to the silent partnerships operator regularly in accordance with their lease contracts.
