2. Purpose of the Acquisition OJR has been upgrading the quality of its portfolio through asset replacement with the aim of maintaining and increasing the level of distributions over the medium to long term. It has also been working to expand the scale of its assets by investing selectively in real estate with stable cash flow and outstanding earning potential. As part of this external growth strategy, OJR has decided to acquire this property. It is a residential property, which is relatively unaffected by economic trends compared to other segments, and the range of fluctuation in rents is small. OJR believes that the features of the location and the specifications of the property will enable stable operation over the medium to long-term.

Summary of Property Shibaura Island Air Tower (hereafter “the property”) comprises two buildings—the 48-storied Air Tower rental apartment building, and the Air Terrace, a two-storied retail building occupied by a supermarket and restaurant etc. OJR will acquire real estate trust beneficiary interest equivalent to a 23% co-ownership interest in the property.
