Reason for Acquisition
Highlights
By acquiring an additional stake in Kawaramachi OPA, a landmark retail property located in Shijo-Kawaramachi - Kyoto's premier commercial district - we aim to enhance liquidity through an increased ownership interest.
JMF aims to enhance total returns (DPU and NAV) and expand the growth cycle using "internal growth" and "return of gains on sales" as drivers.
JMF has decided to acquire additional property (Note 1) of Kawaramachi OPA, which it originally acquired in September 2006.
OPA is an urban commercial facility brand. As of the date of this document, four OPA facilities operate in the Kansai region: Shinsaibashi OPA, Kawaramachi OPA, Sannomiya OPA, and Sannomiya OPA 2. The Property is located in Shijo Kawaramachi, Kyoto's premier commercial district. It enjoys excellent transportation access and a prime location immediately adjacent to the intersection of Shijo Street and Kawaramachi Street. Through the Acquisition, JMF will hold a 94.4065% (Note 2) co-ownership interest in the building. Increasing the ownership ratio is expected to enhance the property's liquidity, broaden future operational policy options, and improve the NOI yield and NOI yield after depreciation by +0.1%. Additionally, the unrealized loss associated with the Property is projected to be reduced by approximately
0.08 billion yen.
(Note1) We plan to acquire a co-ownership interest in the building and a portion of co-owned land. The same applies below. (Note2) The figure shown represents the total of the trust beneficiary interest in real estate already acquired by the trustee
and the interest in the real estate acquired through this transaction.
