As announced in "Notice Concerning Execution of the Merger Agreement by and between Japan Retail Fund Investment Corporation and MCUBS MidCity Investment Corporation" dated today, MCUBS MidCity Investment Corporation ("MMI") has executed a merger agreement (the "Merger Agreement") as of today, and plans to execute an absorption-type merger (the "Merger") effective from March 1, 2021, whereby Japan Retail Fund Investment Corporation ("JRF") is the surviving corporation and MMI is the dissolving corporation. In relation to this, MMI intends to submit a proposal to its general meeting of unitholders, which is scheduled to be held on October 22, 2020, regarding an amendment of its articles of incorporation to change the ends of its fiscal period from the last days of June and December to the last days of February and August. Subject to the approval of the proposal of such amendment of the articles of incorporation at the general meeting of unitholders, MMI's final fiscal period prior to the effective date of the Merger is scheduled to be the eight-month period from July 1, 2020 to February 28, 2021 (the "Fiscal Period Ending February 28, 2021"). In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, MMI hereby releases the following details regarding forecasts for operating results for the Fiscal Period Ending February 28, 2021, which will be its final fiscal period if the proposal to amend the articles of incorporation as described above is approved at the general meeting of unitholders and the Merger comes into effect, and the forecasted payment upon the Merger to be paid instead of cash distributions for the final fiscal period.

(Note 1) Number of forecasted investment units issued at the end of the fiscal period is 1,784,125 units.

(Note 2) The period for the forecasts for operating results for the Fiscal Period Ending February 28, 2021 and payment upon the Merger is the eight-month period from July 1, 2020 to February 28, 2021.

(Note 3) The figures above are forecasts as of this moment, which is calculated based on the assumptions stated in the Exhibit "Assumptions regarding Forecast for Operating Results for the Fiscal Period Ending February 28, 2021 (from July 1, 2020 to February 28, 2021) and for Payment upon the Merger" and the actual operating revenue, operating income, ordinary income, net income and payment upon the Merger per unit could fluctuate due to future acquisition or disposition of properties, transition in property market, operating environment or other conditions surrounding MMI, or status of exercise of the right to demand purchase of investment units relating to the Merger, and expenses related to the Merger or other changes in circumstances. In addition, these forecasts do not guarantee the amount of the payment upon the Merger.

(Note 4) After the Merger, instead of cash distributions to the unitholders of MMI for MMI's final fiscal period, JRF, the surviving corporation, will, based on the amount of distributable profit of MMI and within a reasonable period after the effective date of the Merger, make a payment upon the Merger to the unitholders listed or recorded on the final unitholders register of MMI as of February 28, 2021, the day immediately prior to the effective date of the Merger (excluding JRF, MMI, and the unitholders of MMI who have demanded the purchase of their investment units pursuant to the provisions of Article 149-3 of the Act on Investment Trusts and Investment Corporations (Act No. 198 of 1951, as amended) (excluding the unitholders of MMI who have withdrawn such purchase demands)) (hereinafter the "Allotted Unitholders"), in an amount equivalent to the cash distributions for the final fiscal period (the payment will be the amount of distributable profit of MMI as of the day immediately prior to the effective date of the Merger divided by the number of investment units that is obtained by deducting the number of investment units held by the unitholders other than the Allotted Unitholders from the total number of investment units of MMI issued and outstanding as of the day immediately prior to the effective date of the Merger (such calculated amount being rounded down to the nearest whole yen). As a result, the amount of payment upon the Merger will vary depending on the status of exercise of the right to demand purchase of investment units. Because the status of such exercise cannot be confirmed at present, the forecasted figures above assume that the right to demand purchase of investment units will not be exercised.

(Note 5) Forecasts may be revised if results are expected to deviate from the above forecasts beyond a certain level.

(Note 6) Figures of less than one unit are truncated.
