1. The expected number of units outstanding as of June 30, 2024:

541,000 units

The expected number of units outstanding as of December 31, 2024:

541,000 units

  1. All amounts less than a unit are rounded down.
  2. Distribution per unit is rounded down to the nearest 10 yen.
  3. The figures above are based on certain pre-conditions and assumptions as of today. Actual figures may differ significantly from forecasts due to future acquisitions and/or sales of properties, real estate market trends and/or changes in the environment surrounding the Investment Corporation. The Investment Corporation does not guarantee the amount of the expected cash distribution per unit in this forecast.

2. Reasons for Announcing the Revision of Operating Forecasts

As announced via "Notice Concerning Sale of Trust Beneficiary Rights to a Real Estate Property in Japan (Queen's Isetan Suginami-Momoi)" and "Notice Concerning Acquisition of Real Estate Properties in Japan (Yaoko Sagamihara Hikarigaoka Store and Yaoko Nishiomiya Store)," both issued as of today, the Investment Corporation decided on the transfer and acquisition of assets. Reflecting this move, the Investment Corporation intends to revise its operating forecasts previously disclosed via the "Summary of Financial Results for the 39th Fiscal Period (July 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023)" released on February 15, 2024 regarding the fiscal periods ending June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2024, due to significant changes in assumptions used in formulating such forecasts.

Pre-Conditions and Assumptions for Operating Forecasts for the Fiscal Period Ending June 30, 2024

and the Fiscal Period Ending December 31, 2024

Pre-Conditions & Assumptions

Calculation

40th fiscal period ending June 30, 2024 (January 1, 2024, to June 30, 2024) (182 days)

41st fiscal period ending December 31, 2024 (July 1, 2024, to December 31, 2024) (184

Period

days)

Among the investment assets owned (totaling 40 properties) as of March 15, 2024, the

Investment Corporation will divide the trust beneficiary rights of the entire Shinsaibashi

Square property into land trust beneficiary rights (ground lease rights) and existing building

trust beneficiary rights as of March 29, 2024, transferring the building beneficiary rights

while operating only the ground lease rights thereafter; will transfer 44.4% of the quasi-

Investment

shared real estate trust beneficiary rights of Queen's Isetan Suginami-Momoi on May 1,

2024, and 55.6% on July 1, 2024; and acquire Yaoko Sagamihara Hikarigaoka Store on

Assets

May 1, 2024, and Yaoko Nishiomiya Store on July 1, 2024. Moreover, these operating

forecasts are premised on the absence of any changes in the investment assets due to

acquisitions of and/or disposals of assets other than those described above until the end

of the 41st fiscal period (December 31, 2024).

Actual numbers may change due to future acquisitions and/or disposals of existing

properties, if any.

The balance of borrowings, etc.* as of March 15, 2024 is ¥128,200 million.

* Including investment corporation bonds; hereinafter the same shall apply.

It is assumed that refinancing and partial self-financing will be executed for the repayment

of borrowings due by December 31, 2024.

LTV

The loan to value ratio (LTV*) as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2024 are expected

(Loan to Value)

to be approximately 45% and 45%, respectively.

  • LTV = (Borrowings, etc. + Security deposits - Unrestricted cash and deposits**) / (Total assets - Unrestricted cash and deposits)
  • Unrestricted cash and deposits is calculated by subtracting planned distributions for the next fiscal period and deposits in trust account such as tenant leaseholds, etc. from cash and deposits on the balance sheet of each fiscal period.

The above figures are based on the assumption of lease business revenue from the

investment assets above. Lease business revenue is calculated based on the individual

lease contracts valid as of February 15, 2024 and estimated fluctuating factors. Lease

business revenue from Yaoko Sagamihara Hikarigaoka Store and Yaoko Nishiomiya Store

(below, "Assets to Be Acquired") is calculated based on potential lease contracts expected

to be effective at the time of the acquisition of such assets in addition to taking into account

information provided by the current property owners and beneficiaries.

Due to the sale of Queen's Isetan Suginami-Momoi, gain on sale of property is expected to

be ¥ 555 million for the 40th fiscal period and ¥ 696 million for the 41st fiscal period.

Pre-Conditions & Assumptions

Property taxes, city planning taxes, etc. are expected to be ¥1,311 million for the 40th fiscal

period and ¥1,302 million for the 41st fiscal period. However, should a property be newly

acquired during any of these fiscal periods and municipal property taxes and other monies

for settlement occur between the Investment Corporation and the seller, the

aforementioned monies will be included in its acquisition cost.

Repairs and maintenance are expected to be ¥394 million for the 40th fiscal period and

¥383 million for the 41st fiscal period. However, actual repairs and maintenance may be

unanticipated factors.

Expenses

Depreciation and amortization are expected to be ¥2,006 million for the 40th fiscal period

and ¥1,916 million for the 41st fiscal period.

Other expenses related to rent business (property management expenses, etc.) are

calculated based on actual figures and estimated fluctuating factors. Other expenses

related to rent business associated with Assets to Be Acquired are calculated based on

potential lease contracts expected to be effective at the time of the acquisition of such

assets in addition to taking into account information provided by the current property

owners and beneficiaries.

Non-operating

It is assumed that non-operating expenses, which include interest charged on borrowings,

security deposits, investment corporation bonds and so on, will be ¥356 million for the 40th
