Rationale
The proposed acquisition is in line with the Investment Corporation's "Basic Policy of Asset Management" as stipulated in its Articles of Incorporation. Specifically, the Investment Corporation expects the Acquisition to help expand its asset size while enhancing the diversity of its properties in terms of geographical location and other aspects. By doing so, the Investment Corporation aims to maintain and improve the quality, profitability and stability of its portfolio. In its decision to acquire these assets, the Asset Management Company also considered, inter alia, the following factors:
Mitsui Shopping Park LaLaport IZUMI (additional acquisition of a 71.5% quasi co-ownership stake)
Evaluation of the Site
This property is situated within "Trivert IZUMI," an extensive residential district in Izumi City, Osaka, and is approximately 3 kilometers from Izumi Chuo Station of Semboku Rapid Railway and approximately 500 meters from Kishiwada Izumi Interchange of Hanwa Expressway. While this district is crossed by the aforementioned expressway from north to south, it is also crossed by the Osaka Outer Loop Line (National Route No. 170) from east to west. Therefore, the site is suitable to attract visitors using cars from a broad range of regions. The population within a 3 km radius of the retail trading area is estimated at 56,000 and 186,000 within a 5 km radius. Moreover, the number of people within a distance of a 30-minute drive is estimated at 791,000, suggesting a sufficient population in the surrounding communities. In particular, "Trivert IZUMI," which was completed and opened in the 1990s, is now home to a number of households that are raising children. Because of this, we consider the site an appropriate location for a regional shopping center like LaLaport.
Features of the Property
The property is a regional shopping center opened in October 2014 and is currently operated by Mitsui Fudosan Co., Ltd. While accommodating approximately 200 tenants, such as Lopia, Akachan Honpo, Edion, ZARA, Nitori, Mujirushi Ryohin, UNIQLO, Round One, LOFT, and other diverse facilities, the property boasts a parking lot capable of housing approximately 3,400 cars. Thus, the property is deemed to have high competitiveness and be suitable to attract visitors driving cars. In April 2025, the supermarket chain Lopia opened a store within the property. Accordingly, sales from this property are generally on an upward track.
M Building Naha Kokusai Dori I
Evaluation of the Site
This property is located alongside Kokusai Dori, the most prominent street in Okinawa. In this extremely bustling location which attracts tourists from within and outside Japan, the property is approximately a six-minute walk from Prefectural Office Station of Okinawa Urban Monorail (Yui Rail) and is easily accessible from areas around the prefectural office. Thus, the property's site is deemed suitable to attract visitors from neighboring communities as well as from a broad range of other regions.
Features of the Property
The first to third floors of the property are occupied by "GiGO," which is the only amusement arcade in Kokusai Dori and can attract many patrons. Moreover, while a majority of buildings alongside Kokusai Dori have aged, the property was completed in June 2021 and therefore boasts rarity as a new building. In addition, the façade of the building is highly visible from the street, enabling the property to stand out. Due to these factors, we consider the property to boast a profound local presence.
M Building Naha Kokusai Dori II
Evaluation of the Site
This property is similarly located alongside the prominent Kokusai Dori, which is quite bustling with tourists from within and outside Japan. In particular, it is located near Matsuo Crossroad, which is known for even higher traffic volume than other locations along Kokusai Dori. Thus, as a retail facility, this property benefits greatly from this location. In addition, due to the concentration of accommodation facilities in the neighboring areas, the property is expected to attract a large number of visitors even early in the morning and late at night.
Features of the Property
The property houses Don Quijote Kokusai Dori Kumoji, which opened in June 2025 and specializes in accommodating inbound tourists. This tenant is expected to create synergetic effects with Don Quijote Kokusai
Dori, another chain store that is just a few blocks away. Furthermore, the property was completed in July 2021 and therefore boasts rarity as a new building among other neighboring buildings on the street, many of which have aged.

If the trustee returns its quasi co-ownership stake in the property to the beneficiaries due to such reasons as the termination of the trust agreement related to the Beneficiary Rights, the signatories will refrain from exercising their rights to request the division of the property as defined under Article 256 of the Civil Code for a period of five years from the date at which such quasi co-ownership stake is returned.
