DISCLAIMER

This document has been prepared solely for the purpose of providing U.K. and Dutch investors with certain information under Article 23 of the European Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (European Directive 2011/61/EU) as implemented in their respective jurisdictions. Accordingly, you should not use this document for any other purpose.

Netherlands

The units of Global One Real Estate Investment Corporation ("GOR" or the "AIF") are being marketed in the Netherlands under Section 1:13b of the Dutch Financial Supervision Act (Wet op het financieel toezicht, or the "Wft"). In accordance with this provision, Global Alliance Realty Co., Ltd. (the "AIFM") has submitted a notification with the Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets. The units of GOR will not, directly or indirectly, be offered, sold, transferred or delivered in the Netherlands, except to or by individuals or entities that are qualified investors (gekwalificeerde beleggers) within the meaning of Article 1:1 of the Wft, and as a consequence neither the AIFM nor GOR is subject to the license requirement pursuant to the Wft. Consequently, neither the AIFM nor GOR is subject to supervision of the Dutch Central Bank (De Nederlandsche Bank, "DNB") or the Netherlands Authority for Financial Markets (Autoriteit Financiële Markten, the "AFM") and this Article 23 AIFMD Prospectus is not subject to approval by the AFM. No approved prospectus is required to be published in the Netherlands pursuant to Article 3 of the Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (the "Prospectus Regulation") as amended and applicable in the Netherlands. The AIFM is therefore solely subject to limited ongoing regulatory requirements as referred to in Article 42 of the AIFMD.

United Kingdom

The units of GOR are being marketed in the United Kingdom pursuant to Article 59 of the United Kingdom Alternative Investment Fund Managers Regulations 2013. In accordance with this provision, the AIFM has notified the Financial Conduct Authority (the "FCA") of its intention to offer these units in the United Kingdom. For the purposes of the United Kingdom Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 ("FSMA") GOR is an unregulated collective investment scheme which has not been authorized by the FCA. Accordingly, any communication of an invitation or inducement to invest in GOR may only be made to (i) investment professionals falling within Article 19(5) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Financial Promotion) Order 2005, as amended, or "the Order"; or (ii) high net worth companies falling within Articles 49(2)(a) to (d) of the Order and other persons to whom it may lawfully be communicated (all such persons referred to under (i) and (ii) of this paragraph, together being referred to as "Relevant Persons").

In the United Kingdom, this document and its contents are directed only at Relevant Persons and must not be acted on or relied on by persons who are not Relevant Persons. The transmission of this document and its contents in the United Kingdom to any person other than a Relevant Person is unauthorized and may contravene the FSMA and other United Kingdom securities laws and regulations.

European Economic Area and United Kingdom

In addition to the restrictions under the AIFMD, the units of GOR are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the European Economic Area ("EEA") or the United Kingdom. For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, "MiFID II"); (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Regulation, as amended. Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (the "PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the units of GOR or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA or the United Kingdom has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the units of GOR or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA or the United Kingdom may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.

Article 23 (1)(a)

Objectives of

GOR is a Japanese REIT that aims to achieve the steady growth of its assets and secure stable

the AIF

profits from a medium- to long-term perspective, operate its finances in a stable manner, and

manage its assets with the goal of maximizing the value for unitholders.

Investment

GOR invests primarily in Class-A office buildings that are located in three major metropolitan

strategy

areas in Japan (the Tokyo metropolitan area, Chubu area and Kinki area) as well as other major

cities with populations over 500,000 that are identified as government-designated cities. The

three key features that we look to in selecting properties are "closer," (i.e., easily accessible

from nearby train stations), "newer" (i.e., newly or recently built) and "larger" (i.e., large

buildings with extensive office space).

Any applicable

GOR is subject to investment restrictions under Japanese laws and regulations (e.g., the Act on

investment

Investment Trusts and Investment Corporations (the "ITA"), the Financial Instruments and

restrictions

Exchange Act (the "FIEA")) as well as its articles of incorporation.

GOR must invest primarily in specified assets as defined in the ITA. Specified assets include, but

are not limited to, securities, real estate, leaseholds of real estate, surface rights (chijō-ken) (i.e.,

right to use land for the purpose of having a structure on it) or trust beneficiary interests for

securities or real estate, leaseholds of real estate or surface rights. A listed J-REIT must invest

substantially all of its assets in real estate, real estate-related assets and liquid assets as

provided by the listing requirements. Real estate in this context includes, but is not limited to,

real estate, leaseholds of real estate, surface rights, and trust beneficiary interests for these

assets, and real estate-related assets in this context include, but are not limited to, anonymous

association (tokumei kumiai) interests for investment in real estate. Pursuant to the ITA,

investment corporations may not independently develop land for housing or to construct

buildings, but may outsource such activities in certain circumstances.

Loans or investment corporation bonds in which GOR enters or GOR issues may be subject to

permitted and

restrictive covenants in connection with any future indebtedness that may restrict operations

and limit its ability to make cash distributions to unitholders, to dispose of properties or to

acquire additional properties. Furthermore, if GOR were to violate such restrictive covenants,

such as with regard to loan-to-value ratios, lenders may be entitled to require GOR to

collateralize portfolio properties or demand that the entire outstanding balance be paid.

In the event of an increase in interest rates, to the extent that GOR has any debt with unhedged

floating rates of interest or GOR incurs new debt, interest payments may increase, which in turn

could reduce the amount of cash available for distributions to unitholders. Higher interest rates

may also limit the capacity for short- and long-term borrowings, which would in turn limit GOR's

ability to acquire properties, and could cause the market price of the units to decline.

Any restrictions

The maximum amount of each loan and corporate bond issuance will be 1 trillion yen, and the

aggregate amount of all such debt will not exceed 1 trillion yen.
