2. Acquisition of GRAND FRONT OSAKA (Note 1)

JPR will acquire from Tokyo Tatemono Co., Ltd. (the Main Sponsor) a rare, large-scale commercial complex composed mainly of offices, as well as retail facilities and a hotel which was completed in 2013 and is directly connected to JR Osaka Station.

This property is directly connected to JR Osaka Station via a pedestrian deck and close to Osaka Umeda Station on the Hankyu lines and Hanshin lines, and Umeda Station on the Osaka Metro Lines and has excellent transportation convenience.The property comprising three super high-rise towers is an urban large-scale complex that was developed under a project in which the Main Sponsor participated as one of developers. GRAND FRONT OSAKA (Umekita Plaza and South Building) comprises the South Building that houses offices and retail facilities and Umekita Plaza mainly composed of commercial establishments. GRAND FRONT OSAKA (North Building) houses a hotel and Knowledge Capital, a business-academia collaboration base, in addition to offices and retail facilities. Knowledge Capital comprises various facilities, including offices of varied sizes, a salon, lab, showroom, and theater, aiming to promote intellectual

creation and exchange that generates new value.

The Umekita area where the property is located is positioned as the core project in Osaka City's growth

strategy hub special zone initiative and was redeveloped 2

with a view to enhancing the Kansai metropolitan area's international competitiveness. Moreover, with the development of the "Umekita 2nd Project and Umekita (Osaka) Underground" Station (Note 2) underway in an adjacent area, further development of the area is expected.

While the office floors of the respective buildings feature regular-shaped,non-pillar spaces, the buildings are equipped with excellent seismic performance and 72-hour emergency power generating facilities, boasting the largest- and highest-level office specifications in the Kansai region.

Further, they adopt highly effective CO2 reduction technologies, including natural ventilation, a highly efficient heat source, and a photovoltaic power generation system, while building a network of BEMS (Buildings Energy Management System) deployed in the respective buildings, thereby unifying the management of energy consumption of the whole property. On top of these, through the system called TMO (Town Management Organization), CO2 reduction management is conducted for the whole city in a bid to create a low carbon society.

(Note 1) GRAND FRONT OSAKA collectively refers to GRAND FRONT OSAKA (Umekita Plaza and South Building) and GRAND FRONT OSAKA (North Building), which are the assets to be acquired.

(Note 2) "Umekita (Osaka) Underground" Station will be integrated into the current JR Osaka Station and inaugurated under the name of "Osaka Station" in 2023.

3. Acquisition of Tokyo Tatemono Higashi Shibuya Bldg.

JPR will acquire from the Main Sponsor an office building in the Shibuya area whose redevelopment is accelerated.

This property is a 7-minute walk from Shibuya Station on the JR, Tokyo Metro and Tokyu Lines, providing access to main business districts and commercial centers in the Tokyo Metropolitan area without transfer.

Given that the Shibuya area has not only steady demand for offices mainly from IT companies but also several redevelopment projects underway, further development is expected down the road.

The property that faces Meiji-dori Avenue is a landmark that enjoys high visibility and prominence in the Higashi Shibuya area. Further, the building features high grade and an affluent ambience and comes with a public space and

an indoor drive-in parking lot for 41 cars. JPR rates it as a highly competitive property.

4. Sale of Tokyo Tatemono Honmachi Bldg. and JPR Umeda Loft Bldg. (hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Properties to Be Sold")

JPR aims to systematically implement asset replacement while conducting rigorous, selective investment in blue- chip properties as a measure to build a strong and solid portfolio.

For the Properties to Be Sold, JPR considers whereas they are expected to contribute to revenues for the time being in its portfolio, anticipated growth in profitability may be limited due to several factors, including building age, and thus judged that replacing them with the highly competitive properties to be acquired from the main sponsor and selling them to others by leveraging the sponsor's support would help build a strong and stable portfolio.

Regarding the 4.45 billion yen of gain on sale of JPR Umeda Loft Bldg., as the properties will be sold over three periods, JPR will return a gain to unitholders in each period and internally reserve part of the gain by utilizing special taxation measures for the purpose of stabilizing future dividends.
