Reason for Disposition
Highlights
long-term profitability through future asset replacements.
Disposition of land with leasehold interest for a retail facility at a price approximately 15% above the appraisal value. The entire gain on sale of approximately 1.1 billion yen is planned to be distributed in the February 2027 fiscal period.
Given the expansion of the acquisition pipeline, the asset disposition will be carried out with the aim of maximizing total returns, while positioning the portfolio for improved
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.
The Property is a land with leasehold interest with Edion as the lessee, and has secured stable earnings over the long term. However, after comprehensively considering factors including the remaining term of the current lease agreement and the portfolio's future profitability through replacement with properties in the expanding acquisition pipeline, JMF determined that, at this point in time, disposing of the Property at a price exceeding both its appraised value and book value, and fully returning the gain on sale generated from such disposition, would contribute to maximizing total returns (i.e., unitholder value).
The gain on sale of approximately 1.1 billion yen to be obtained from the disposition of the Property is planned to be fully distributed in the February 2027 (50th) fiscal period, and the disposition proceeds excluding the gain on sale are planned to be used for replacement with assets that have profitability and growth potential.
