lives and our planet. Under our " " byword, we pursue ESG management and conduct business with awareness of our responsibilities with respect to the Environment, Society, and Governance.

In November 2021, we announced our "Group Action Plan to Realize

Decarbonized Society" (the "Action Plan") as a comprehensive and concrete ＜Perspective Rendering of 50 Hudson Yards＞ strategy to achieve our greenhouse gas reduction rate in response to increasing global interest and the importance of action against climate change.

As the international movement on environmental and social issues accelerates, further substantial efforts

Thus, for such realization we have established the Frameworks in order to further strengthen our commitment to the Group's Action Plan through financing.

The Frameworks will enable us to adopt a flexible approach to green bonds issuance and SLLs obtaining. By proactively engaging in sustainable finance, we intend to raise more awareness of the Group's policy among a wide range of stakeholders promoting the diversification of financing and the realization of a decarbonized society.

■ Overview of USD-denominated Green Bonds to be issued under the Green Bond Framework

Green bonds are bonds whose use of proceeds is limited to projects that contribute to solving environmental problems.

The newly established Green Bond Framework has set both domestic and global environmental certifications as eligibility criteria, allowing for investment in both domestic and global projects.

• Overview of SLL to be Entered Into under the SLL Framework

The objective of SLLs is to promote borrower ' s incentive for achieving its target and support environmentally and socially sustainable economic activities and growth by linking corporate loan terms with the borrower's performance against mutually-agreed, sustainability performance targets ("SPTs") consistent with the borrower's sustainability strategy.

The newly established SLL Framework is a "comprehensive SLL framework" that uniformly defines SLL requirements such as SPTs, applicable interest rates, and reporting. This will allow us to universally apply the Framework to each financial institution's standard loan agreements in individual transactions, making it easier for both us and financial institutions to engage in SLL.

In December 2020, we announced our targets for reducing our Group's greenhouse gas emissions in FY2030 and FY2050. However, in April 2021, the Japanese government set a new national target for decarbonization, 3

and in response to increasing global interest in and the importance of action against climate change, we have set a new medium- to long-term target with a higher reduction target for FY2030 in the Action Plan newly formulated this year.

＊For more information on the Action Plan, please click here. https://www.mitsuifudosan.co.jp/english/esg_csr/carbon_neutral/

In our SLL Framework, we have set the reduction targets in Scope 1 and 2 emissions, which are the direct targets among our new medium- to long-term targets, as SPTs, and incentives to change the interest rate depending on the achievement of the targets are provided. The following is a summary of our first SLL.

Execution Timing	January 2022
Lenders	Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, The Gunma Bank, Ltd. and The Dai-ichi
	Life Insurance Company, Limited
SPTs	Reduce greenhouse gas emissions of 46.2% by FY2030 (on a total volume
	basis, Scope 1 and 2) (Compared to FY2019)

＜Eligibility for the SLL Framework＞

Supported by Sustainability Coordinator Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation we have established our SLL Framework in alignment with "Sustainability Linked Loan Principles" (as amended in May 2021) set forth by international financial industry organizations the LMA (Loan Market Association), the LSTA (Loan Syndications and Trading Association ), and the APLMA (Asia Pacific Loan Market Association), and "Sustainability Linked Loan Guidelines (2020)" established by the Ministry of the Environment of Japan and obtained a second opinion from R&I to ensure conformity.
