Disclaimer: This press release is an announcement concerning the acquisition and transfer of property of Hulic Reit and was not prepared for the purpose of soliciting investment. When investing, Hulic Reit advises investors to do so at their own responsibility and discretion, after carefully reading the prospectus on the issuance of new investment units and the secondary offering of investment units as well as any amendments prepared by Hulic Reit. 2 2. Reason for acquisition and transfer (A) Assets planned for acquisition In accordance with the basic policies of Hulic Reit, the purpose of acquiring the Property is to improve the portfolio. Hulic REIT Management has assessed each property based on the following factors: ・Hulic Ueno Building 1) Characteristics of the location This property is located on the corner of an area lined with office buildings along Chuo Dori, which is a three-minute walk from Ueno Hirokoji Station, the nearest station, on the Tokyo Metro Ginza Line. In addition to the nearest station, this property is within walking distance of many train stations, including Okachimachi Station on the JR Yamanote Line, among other lines, and Yushima Station on the Tokyo Metro Chiyoda Line. This property is very close to the city center and has outstanding access to transportation. The Ueno-Okachimachi area in which the property is located has long been a densely concentrated commercial and industrial district centered around Ueno Station. Ueno Station functions as a terminal hub in which passengers can access many train lines, including Shinkansen, JR conventional lines, subways, and private railway lines, positioning this station as the northern entrance to Tokyo. In addition, many companies have established bases in this area to oversee their operations in Joto and Johoku areas in Tokyo. This property's location along the major road gives it excellent visibility in the Ueno-Okachimachi area, and ample frontage has been secured as well. As such, we believe this property should be evaluated highly. 2) Characteristics of the property This property is an office building with one floor below ground and eight floors above ground. The first through fourth floors and the sixth floor are occupied by a bank, the fifth and seventh floors are sales offices for customer visits (part of the fifth floor is occupied by a bank) and the eighth floor consists of offices. It is a small-to-medium-scale office building with a total floor space of approximately 4,376 m2 (approximately 1,323 tsubo) (Note) and a standard area per floor of approximately 450 m2 (approximately 136 tsubo), which is the most popular size in this area and neighboring areas. Uniform shapes of rental units and highly efficient space usages are both factors that we believe will be popular among tenants. Ceilings are 2,550 mm high (comparable with OA in the future) and both individual air-conditioning systems and central air systems are available. These satisfy basic specifications that will meet general tenant needs. This property was completed in 1986, but given that many office buildings near this site were also completed around the same time (among other factors), we believe that this building will be valued highly in this area. Given these factors, we have determined that this property has a certain competitiveness in terms of site, scale and facilities. Note: This building consists of two buildings⸻the bank branch building and a parking lot⸻but the figures provided here are based on the entries in the property registry for the bank building. ・Hulic Chofu 1) Characteristics of the location This property is located a five-minute walk from Chofu Station on Keio Railway's Keio Line.

Buy soft drinks and coffee from vending machines and on the train. Even buy a newspaper at the station kiosk without fiddling for coins. For traveling in Japan, the Suica makes a more pleasant trip. Riding Trains Simply touch the Suica card to the reader at the ticket gate when out and about. There is no need to purchase a ticket from a vending machine. The fare is automatically calculated at the station where you get off. The Suica comes preloaded with 1,500 yen. When you get off the train, the fare will be calculated at that station. If the balance is insufficient, however, you will need to add more money to your Suica. Valid Areas and Transportation Systems The Suica can be used on JR East lines in the Tokyo metropolitan area as well as for subways, buses and the Tokyo Monorail that connects Haneda Airport with Tokyo. In addition to the Tokyo area, the Suica can be used for certain transportation systems in the Sendai and Niigata, Hokkaido, Tokai, West Japan and Kyushu areas.
