III. Asset Acquisition Overview Ichigo Office REIT is acquiring five mid-size office buildings located in Central Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, and Fukuoka, major metropolitan areas where rental and economic growth can be expected. The average NOI yield of the five assets is 5.1% and average occupancy is 97.5%.1, 2 Today’s acquisition is also expected to drive further growth in shareholder value for Ichigo Office REIT’s shareholders by making full use of Ichigo Office REIT’s strengths in managing and adding value to office assets. 1 The average NOI yield is calculated as the total NOI of the five assets at acquisition divided by the total acquisition price. The NOI for each asset is calculated using the forecast NOI in the third-party asset appraisal report, excluding any one-off revenues or expenses expected to be incurred in the first year of ownership. 2 Occupancy is as of February 29, 2016. 2 (1) Ichigo Shibuya East Building (i) Location The Shibuya area consists of a commercial district and a business district. The commercial district is to the northwest of the station, where many apparel stores and restaurants are located. The business district is in the vicinity of major throughways including Meiji Dori and Roppongi Dori. Many of the apparel stores in the area target the younger generation, while the business zone has become increasingly popular as an office location for the IT industry. In recent years a number of large-scale commercial/office buildings have been redeveloped around Shibuya Station, and several revitalization projects are presently underway. As a result of these developments, the area is expected to continue to attract more businesses and more people. (ii) Features This mid-size office building is a 9-minute walk from Shibuya Station, which is serviced by a large number of railways such as the JR Line. The standard floor area is 58 tsubo (190 m2). The building has specifications suited for the demands of the typical tenant, such as individual air conditioning systems for each floor and raised access flooring. A convenience store occupies the first floor, and the other floors are occupied by tenants in the telecommunications industry.
