Readers are advised to read the original Japanese-language notice. In the event of any discrepancy between this translation and the Japanese original, the latter shall prevail in all respects. 1 (Note 1) Along with acquisition of the Preferred Equity Interest, INV will acquire a 24.0% stake in the specified equity interests in the TMK, as well as 49.0% of equity interest in a limited liability company (LLC), a holding company, (the “Holding Company”) that owns 100% of equity interest in Keiyo Resort Development, G.K., a master lease company of the Underlying Asset (the “ML”). (Note 2) The anticipated acquisition price is the expected investment amount. The amount does not include any taxation including consumption tax and is rounded down to the nearest million yen. In addition, the acquisition price of the specified equity interest and the equity interest in the Holding Company described in (Note 1) is JPY 24,000 and JPY 9.8 million, respectively. Since these amounts are very small, they are not included in the anticipated acquisition price. (Note 3) The anticipated acquisition date is the date of expected closing for the subscription of the Preferred Equity Interest. Hereinafter the same. (Note 4) For more information about issuance of the new investment units, please refer to “Notification concerning Issuance of New Investment Units and Secondary Distribution of Investment Units” announced today. 2. Reasons for Acquisitions and Leasing INV has decided to acquire the Preferred Equity Interest in the TMK by using funds raised through issuance of the new investment units and its own funds. The TMK will acquire the Sheraton Grande Tokyo Bay Hotel from an affiliate of the sponsor, Fortress Investment Group LLC (“FIG”). We believe that acquisition of the Preferred Equity Interest will enhance the growth profile and stability of the whole portfolio revenue of INV, along with “Royal Parks Tower Minamisenju”, the flagship residential property acquired in March 2017, as a result of which the quality of the portfolio will move up to the next stage. The Sheraton Grande Tokyo Bay Hotel, which will be owned by the TMK, is a hotel that has 1,016 rooms including 175 rooms in the Annex Tower opened in December 2016, the highest room count among the Disney hotels and the Tokyo Disney Resort official hotels as of August 31, 2017 (Note 1) and the only hotel operated by Marriott International within the Tokyo Disney Resort Area. It is adjacent to the Tokyo Disney Resort and within one minute walk from “Bayside Station” of the Disney Resort Line. It has luxury, resort-like rooms and is equipped with various facilities including indoor and outdoor pools, Crystal Chapel, dining rooms, conference rooms and event halls to meet demand for both leisure and MICE (Note 2). (Note 1) “Tokyo Disney Resort” (may be referred to as “TDR”) means Tokyo Disneyland, Tokyo DisneySea and related facilities, while the “Tokyo Disney Resort Area” means the bayside area to the south of “Maihama Station” on JR Keiyo Line where Tokyo Disneyland, Tokyo DisneySea and the related facilities are located. Hereinafter the same. The “Disney hotels” are hotels under direct management of Oriental Land Co., Ltd. operating TDR using the Disney brand (four hotels). The “Tokyo Disney Resort official hotels” or the “official hotels” consist of the designated hotels within the Tokyo Disney Resort Area (six hotels). The “partner hotels” consist of the alliance hotels located in the vicinity of TDR (the bayside area surrounding “Maihama Station” and “Shin-Urayasu Station” on JR Keiyo Line) (four hotels). Such specified names are based on the TDR’s hotel alliance program. (Note 2) The capital letters of MICE stand for Meeting (held by business companies), Incentive (travel organized for company employees for incentive and training purposes), Convention (held by international organizations/associations or academic societies) and Exhibition/Event. It is also a collective term for business events that are expected to attract a lot of guests and interactions (Source: the official websites of Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism and Japan Tourism Agency). The number of visitors to TDR has remained stable for the past four fiscal years at approximately 30 million a year. In addition, the number of visitors from areas outside the Kanto region including overseas throughout FY 2016 was over 10 million and the average daily number of such visitors in FY 2016 was 29,018, resulting in a high level of stable demand for hotels in the vicinity of TDR. Despite such high demand for hotel guest rooms, there are only 8,134 total guest rooms among the Disney hotels, the official hotels and the partner hotels. In addition, the room of the land area of the Tokyo Disney Resort Area is limited, therefore the supply of the hotel guest rooms in the future is expected to be limited. In this light, INV believes that there will be a continued This English language notice is a translation of the Japanese-language notice released on September 21, 2017 and was prepared solely for the convenience of, and reference by, non-Japanese investors.

In addition, TDR continues to introduce new products and attractions in the anticipation of the record-high number of visitors in 2020. In Tokyo Disneyland, a large-scale investment of JPY 75.0 billion will be made for the development of new attractions scheduled to be open in the spring of 2020. In Tokyo DisneySea, an introduction of a large-scale attraction as “development of a new themed port” is planned (Note 4). INV believes that the number of visitors to TDR which support the demand for the Sheraton Grande Tokyo Bay Hotel is expected to be stable in the future by the implementation of these projects. (Note 3) The demand for the Sheraton Grande Tokyo Bay Hotel is not necessarily linked to the number of visitors to TDR. There is the possibility the performance of the Sheraton Grande Tokyo Bay Hotel will fluctuate with no regard to the number of visitors to TDR. (Note 4) The descriptions regarding the projects above are based on the corporate disclosure from Oriental Land Co., Ltd. There is no assurance that these projects will be implemented as planned. By acquiring the Preferred Equity Interest, INV will invest in the Sheraton Grande Tokyo Bay Hotel through a joint investment scheme with an affiliate of GIC Private Limited (“GIC”) (Note 5). INV and the affiliate of GIC will jointly invest in the TMK as of October 13, 2017, acquiring a 49.0% (Note 6) and a 51.0% stake, respectively, in the Preferred Equity Interest in the TMK. The TMK will subsequently acquire the Sheraton Grande Tokyo Bay Hotel as of October 17, 2017. INV believes that INV can enjoy higher earnings yield with smaller investment amount by acquiring the Preferred Equity Interest as compared to where INV directly acquires a trust beneficiary interest in the Sheraton Grande Tokyo Bay Hotel.
