Notice Concerning Changes to the Articles of Incorporation and Appointment of Directors

Kenedix Office Investment Corporation ("the Investment Corporation") has announced that its Board of Directors held a meeting today and resolved to submit proposals on changes to its Articles of Incorporation and the appointment of directors to its Eleventh General Meeting of Unitholders, to be held on January 28, 2022.

The following matters shall take effect upon approval by the said General Meeting of Unitholders. Details are set forth below.

1. Changes to the Articles of Incorporation Reasons for changes are as follows:

  1. Following changes to the method of valuing securities and rights pertaining to derivative transactions at fair value in accordance with the announced ASBJ Statement No. 30 ("Accounting Standard for Measurement of Fair Value") and ASBJ Statement No. 10 ("Accounting Standard for Financial Instruments"), including the relevant newly enacted or revised accounting standards, guidance, etc., the Investment Corporation will change the relevant provisions in its Articles of Incorporation (concerning Attachment 2 of the current Articles of Incorporation).
  2. The following changes will be made to the Asset Management Fee payable to the Asset Management Company (concerning Attachment 3 of the current Articles of Incorporation):
    1. With regard to the Acquisition Fee, in the midst of the intense competition for acquisitions with competitors in the real estate market, the operational burden in terms of information-gathering, investigation of targeted real estate to be acquired, and adjustments to the terms and conditions of various contracts has increased significantly in recent times. However, the rate to be multiplied by the acquired value for determining the Acquisition Fee has remained unchanged since the establishment of the Investment Corporation. Accordingly, such rate will be raised from 0.5% to 1.0% to bring the amount of the Acquisition Fee to a level that is commensurate with the increased operational burden. Additionally, in consideration of the fact that there is no particular difference in the operational burden on the Asset Management Company related to the acquisition of real estate whether the real estate is acquired from interested parties or third parties (i.e., other than interested parties), the provisions on the rate applicable to acquisitions from interested parties will be abolished in order to bring the amount of the Acquisition Fee to a level that is commensurate with the relevant operational burden.
    2. With regard to the Disposition Fee, the provision on the rate of Disposition Fee, which has been calculated by multiplying the disposition value by a rate of up to 0.5% regardless of the profit or loss from the disposition, will be abolished. A new performance-based rate will be put in place, under which a portion of final profits (if any) on disposition during the relevant business period will be paid as the Disposition Fee. This will strengthen the alignment of interests with the Unitholders.

    1. In addition to the above, changes to expressions and amendments to wording, such as correction of errors, text revisions, deletion of unnecessary provisions or otherwise shall be made.
      (For more details regarding changes to the Investment Corporation's Articles of Incorporation, please refer to the "Notice Concerning the Eleventh General Meeting of Unitholders", attached hereto.)
  1. Appointment of Directors
    The reasons for this proposal are as follows:
    1. The request for the appointment of one (1) new Executive Director (Candidate: Hikaru Teramoto) as of February 1, 2022, is because the term of office of Hiroaki Momoi as Executive Director will expire as of January 31, 2022.
    2. The request for the appointment of one (1) new Alternate Executive Director (Candidate: Hiroaki Momoi) as of February 1, 2022 is for purposes of avoiding the situation of having a vacancy in the office of Executive Director or of having fewer Executive Directors than the number designated by the relevant regulatory requirements.
    3. The request for the appointment of three (3) Supervisory Directors (Candidates: Yoshihiro Morishima,
      Takahiro Seki, and Akiko Tokuma [(name in family register: Akiko Iwasaki)]) as of February 1, 2022, is because the term of office of Shiro Toba, Yoshihiro Morishima and Takahiro Seki as Supervisory Directors will expire as of January 31, 2022.
      (For more details regarding the appointment of directors, please refer to the "Notice Concerning the Eleventh General Meeting of Unitholders", attached hereto.)
  2. Schedule
    December 14, 2021 Approval by the Board of Directors of proposals submitted to the Eleventh General Meeting of Unitholders
