(Note 6) For details of the borrowings, please refer to the press release “Notice Concerning Borrowing of Funds, Partial Refinancing and Partial Early Repayment of Existing Borrowing” announced today by Samty Residential. (Note 7) For details of the borrowings, please refer to the press release “Notice Concerning Issuance of Investment Corporation Bonds” announced today by Samty Residential. (Note 8) For Type of specified asset of the Properties to be Acquired, please refer to the following “Type of specified asset” column for individual properties of the Properties to be Acquired described in “3. Details of the Properties to be Acquired and Leasing (1) Overview of Individual Properties of the Properties to be Acquired.” 2. Reason of Acquisition and Leasing The acquisition and leasing of the properties will be conducted based on Samty Residential’s investment policy which calls for “Stability” (diversified investments in strictly selected residential properties nationwide), “Growth potential” (expansion of the portfolio size by continually investing in new properties centered on major regional cities) and “Earnings potential” (realization of anticipated high returns by investing in carefully screened residential properties located in major regional cities). In its Asset Management Guidelines, Samty Residential has set the targeted investment ratio of regional cities in the entire portfolio at around 70%, as well as established the policy of investing in the greater Tokyo area at around 30% as a target in order to expand the asset size and diversify the portfolio of properties. Following this policy, Samty Residential has invested in regional cities widely around Japan, without concentrating on the Greater Tokyo area. At present, however, in consideration of the current market conditions including an increase in real estate prices in the greater Tokyo area, the investment ratio in regional cities has been raised to 82.5% based on the (planned) acquisition price. The rise is not only due to efforts from a viewpoint of maintaining and enhancing profitability but also a reflection of the fact that Samty Residential has placed priority on increasing the stability of the portfolio through progressing diversification in expanding the number of properties incorporated in the portfolio and the number of cities where such properties are located, and increasing the number of tenants, among other measures.
