2Reasons for the Transactions

The Transactions are in line with the growth strategy described in the press release "Notice Concerning Execution of the Merger Agreement by and among Kenedix Office Investment Corporation, Kenedix Residential Next Investment Corporation and Kenedix Retail REIT Corporation" dated June 13, 2023. Each REIT believes that the Transactions will improve the quality of its portfolio and enhance unitholder value.

Regarding the Acquisition, along with the expansion of the investment universe, the Investment Corporation will acquire a hotel that is expected to continuously increase demand driven by government's promotion of tourism, and the land of logistics facility where demand is backed by continued growth of e-commerce. Moreover, in terms of active management, the Investment Corporation will acquire a residential property which we are expecting improvement in profitability through renovation, and a shopping center for daily needs(Note) which we expect stable cashflow. The above residential property is a high-rise condominium located in central Tokyo, and renovation to upgrade rooms is underway. The average contract unit rent for upgraded rooms has increased by 27%.

On the other hand, the Investment Corporation is disposing of two properties, including a single tenant office building that is 37 years old with a risk of decline in profitability, and an office building that has unrealized loss with low profitability. Furthermore, the anticipated disposal prices of the properties to be disposed of surpass each of the book value.

Note: In preparation for the Merger, the Asset Management Company has decided to acquire York Mart Higashi-Michinobe which will be acquired by KRR. Please refer to the press release, "Notice Concerning Acquisition of Property (York Mart Higashi-Michinobe)", dated today.

Furthermore, the following characteristics were evaluated in determining the Acquisition.

(1) River City 21 East Towers II

Residential property located in the center of Tokyo with high scarcity value and expected to gain the upside profit by increasing rents through sequential renovation of the property

(ⅰ) Location

This property has excellence in accessibility, since it is located approximately an 8-minute walk from "Tsukishima" station on the Tokyo Metro Yurakucho Line / Toei Subway Oedo Line, and the nearest station takes only 16 minutes from "Tokyo" station. It is located in an area where we can embrace the nature close from home, such as "Ishikawajima-park" which is famous for the cherry blossom road groomed alongside Sumida River where we can see the Tokyo-Skytree. Within walking distance of the property, convenience facilities are enriched, including supermarket Maruetsu and convenience stores, and post office. Therefore, this property has relatively superior site quality.

  1. Building
    This property is a small family type skyscraper residence, composed of 642 units and the layout is mainly 1LDK and 2LDK. For the common area, there are lounge, which is opened 24hours, café, Japanese style room and play area on the first floor. Moreover, there is a theater room on the 27th floor and a party room on the 42nd floor, hence facilities for family is replete. There is a multi-story parking garage in the center of the building and a flat parking garage in the basement, which together provide 306 parking spaces, as well as 15 motorcycle parking spaces. The Investment Corporation (This refers to the investment corporation which is the contract entity. The same shall apply hereafter in the following sections: "2Reasons for the Transactions", "4Overview of Seller and Buyer", "5. Overview of Acquirer" and "8Scheduled Date of the Transaction".) believes the property is a residential property that can expect stable rental demand from married couples and families commuting to the center of the city, as it has a favorable living environment given the proximity to the center of the city, abundant nature, and convenience of living.
  1. remm roppongi building

Hotel located in the Roppongi area, a popular tourist spot for foreigners as well as being one of the central business districts; expected to attract tourism demand and stable demand for business use

(ⅰ) Location

3

This property is located approximately a 1-minute walk from "Roppongi" station on Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line / Toei Subway Oedo Line. Within walking distance, large scaled commercial complex such as "Roppongi Hills" and "Tokyo Midtown" with luxury brand shops as tenants are located, and cultural facilities such as "The National Art Center Tokyo" are also scattered throughout the area. As such, the area surrounding the property is a popular location for tourists. Moreover, it is considered as an office concentrated area, since there is "Roppongi Hills Mori Tower" and there are numerous head quarter functions of leading domestic companies and Japanese offices of foreign companies.

  1. Building
    This property is a relatively new hotel completed in February 2017, with a modern and luxury interior and exterior. The hotel, operated as "remm roppongi" by Hankyu-Hanshin Hotels Co., Ltd., has a concept of "good sleep" and offers several room types of 250 semi-doubled rooms, 70 tower viewable semi-doubled rooms and 80 twin rooms, making it a total of 400 rooms, including some rooms that can observe the Tokyo Tower. Moreover, this property has various safety features, such as the ladies floor and introduction of the automatic check-in system. In the retail sections of the basement floor, first floor and the third floor, restaurants, IT equipment sales and service stores are located. The Investment Corporation considers that since the property is located in a tourist spot popular among foreigners, it can capture tourism demand, and since it is also one of the central business districts, the property is an accommodation facility that can expect stable demand for business use as well.
  1. Akishima Distribution Center (Land)

The land of a logistics facility located in an area with potential as the start and the end points for logistics of consumer and production goods, with its convenient access to traffic

(ⅰ) Location

This property is located in Akishima city in the central Tama area and is the underlying land of a logistics facility operating since October 2012 and serving as a food processing center. With a population of approximately 114,000 (2023) and a manufactured goods shipment value of approximately 415 billion yen (2020), Akishima is a district that, combined with its surrounding population clusters, has the potential to serve as an origin and destination for the flow of consumer goods and manufactured goods. This area has the potential for wide area, semi-wide area and local deliveries due to the convenient use of the Hachioji Interchange of the Central Expressway and National Route 16. The property is also within walking distance of "Akishima" Station on the JR Ome Line, and the location is in an area where it is easy to secure workers from a wide area despite concerns about labor shortages.

The reasons of the Disposition are as follows.

(1) Harajuku F.F. Building

This property is a mid-sized office building which is located approximately 1-minute walk from "Kitasandou" station on Tokyo Metro Fukutoshin Line, 10-minute walk from "Harajuku" Station and "Yoyogi" Station on JR Yamanote Line. 37 years have been passed since the construction of this property, and the office space is leased to one tenant, besides certain retail areas. In the future, if the office tenant decides to move out, lease up may take long time due to the fact that the rented space is not regular and it is difficult to lease by portion. Vacant period may be prolonged or the successor tenant may be limited.

On the premise of this merger coming into effect, the buyer intends to acquire the property at the price above the book value, and profits on sale of real estate is expected. Thus, Investment Corporation decided to dispose of this property considering several risks, including potential decline in profitability of the property in the future.

(2) KDX Nagoya Sakae Building

This property is a mid-sized office building located approximately a 3-minute walk from "Sakae" station on Nagoya Municipal Subway Higashiyama Line and Meijo Line. The land and building of this property was acquired in 2008 and in 2009, respectively. Since the acquisition, the book value has continued to exceed the appraisal value. Currently, the development of large-scale office buildings in the JR Nagoya Station area has made significant progress, and the central area of the office area in Nagoya city has changed. In light of this, the rent level has not reached the initially expected level and the occupancy rate by a specific company group in this building is high, and unrealized loss may increase when the risk of vacating by the tenant becomes apparent. On the assumption that the Merger will take effect, the buyer indicated its intention to acquire the property at a price that exceeds the book value. Thus, the Investment Corporation decided to dispose of this property, since it can improve the unrealized gains of the portfolio without posting a loss on the sale of the property.
