2. Reasons for the Acquisition and Property Characteristics The Investment Corporation will acquire the Property pursuant to the Asset Management Target and Policy set forth in its bylaws. Since October 2009, when Heiwa Real Estate Co., Ltd. (hereinafter, Heiwa Real Estate ) became the sole sponsor of the Asset Management Company by acquiring its entire shares, the Investment Corporation had been pursuing restructuring of foundation for growth as stage 1. In October 2010, the Investment Corporation merged with Japan REIT, and worked to enhance the profitability and quality of its portfolio in terms of business operations and to improve loan terms and conditions, including reduction in financial costs, and establish a stable financial base in terms of financial operations. In June 2011, the Investment Corporation started initiatives for further improvement both in business and financial operations, in pursuit of stage 2 dubbed as Towards the Path of Re-Growth. As part of these endeavors, the Investment Corporation has decided to acquire the Property by taking advantage of the warehousing function of Heiwa Real Estate, based on the memorandum on business cooperation executed between Heiwa Real Estate and the asset management company. The Investment Corporation believes that the acquisition of the Property should be beneficial as it increases the investment ratio of office properties in view of the balance of the entire portfolio and promotes geographical diversification. The Property is a relatively new, mid-sized office building completed in May 2008 with a total floor space of 9,521.09 m 2. Facing Hirokoji-dori, a major street in Nagoya City, it features sufficient competitiveness in building specifications in comparison with neighboring properties. In addition, Heiwa Real Estate has a branch in Nagoya City, making it possible for the Investment Corporation to entrust property management operations to Heiwa Real Estate and utilize its leasing ability, tenant relations, information channels and building operation and administration capabilities. It is also expected the Property will produce relatively high yields. Considering these points, the Investment Corporation has judged the Property will contribute to the improvement of the profitability and quality of the portfolio, and decided on its acquisition. The characteristics of the Property are explained below. (1) Location (2) Building The Property is approximately four minutes walk from Shinsakae Station on the Nagoya City Subway Higashiyama Line and approximately seven minutes walk from Takaoka Station on the Nagoya City Subway Sakura-Dori Line, providing high convenience that allows use of two stations on two subway lines. The Property also commands high visibility as it faces Hirokoji-dori. The Shinsakae district has few relatively new office buildings while offering high convenience of public transport including subways and expressways. As such, the location allows expectations for demand for office space. The Property has a leasable floor space of approximately 733 m 2 (approximately 221 tsubos) on a standard floor, and features a ceiling height of 2,700 mm (standard floor), an OA-compatible floor with a height of 100mm (standard floor), individually controlled air conditioners on each floor, three elevators, smoking rooms on each floor (standard floor), parking space for 145 vehicles and low emissivity glass, etc. It is well-equipped for competitiveness as a relatively new, mid-sized office building. Furthermore, the acquisition of the Property will change the property composition by property type from 33.83% for office, 62.94% for residence and 3.23% for hotel to 35.30% for office, 61.54% for residence and 3.16% for hotel. Going forward, the Investment Corporation will continue to pursue both profitability of office properties and stability of residential properties, a characteristic of a compound portfolio comprising office and residential properties, working to expand the asset size and enhance profitability. - 2 -
