Status Updates for GLP Maishima II and

Amendment of Forecasts Concerning Operating Status and Distribution for the Fiscal Periods Ending February 28, 2022 and Ending August 31, 2022

GLP J-REIT announces today the obtainment of the report from the construction company of GLP Maishima II, which indicates the building of GLP Maishima II, owned by GLP J-REIT and was suffered by the fire (the "Fire") on November 29, 2021, is no longer usable even repair and maintenance works are carried out going forward. Based on the indication in the report, GLP J-REIT and the tenant, Hitachi Transport System West Japan Co., Ltd., agreed today to terminate the lease agreement at GLP Maishima II as of February 28, 2022. The scope of compensation and the timing of payment of insurance claims in connection with the fire insurance and the business interruption insurance (the "Insurance") for GLP Maishima II will take time to be determined.

In accordance with those events, GLP J-REIT is expected to capture the extraordinary loss for GLP Maishima II and to amend its forecast for the fiscal periods ending February 28, 2022 (from September 1, 2021 to February 28, 2022) and ending August 31, 2022 (from March 1, 2022 to August 31, 2022), announced on December 13, 2021. The details are as follows.

(Notes)

1. The forecasts are calculated based on the assumptions stated in Attachment 1: "Assumptions Underlying the Forecasts for the Fiscal Periods Ending February 28, 2022 and August 31, 2021." The actual operating revenue, operating income, ordinary income, net income, distributions per unit and optimal payable distributions per unit may vary due to future acquisition or sale of real estate and other assets, trends in the real estate and other markets, additional issuance of new investment units, changes in other circumstances surrounding GLP J-REIT and other factors. In addition, the forecasts are not intended to guarantee the amount of distributions or optimal payable distributions. Especially, the actual amount and coverages of the Insurance is not determined yet today and the insurance amount included in the forecast for the period ending August 31, 2022 may be different from the actual amount. The estimated loss and income are calculated

2

based on the available information as of today, which may be different from the actual amount. The Forecast should not be deemed a commitment or a guarantee of the amount of distributions and optimal payable distributions.

  1. GLP J-REIT may revise its forecasts in the event that it expects discrepancies beyond a certain level from the forecast above.
  2. Figures are rounded down and percentages are rounded to the nearest decimal place.

2. Reasons for the Amendment

  1. Amendment to the forecast concerning operating status and distribution for the fiscal period ending February 28, 2022

Since the Fire burned down the building of GLP Maishima II, GLP J-REIT will record an extraordinary loss from the Fire (the "Fire Loss") of 4,417 million yen for the February 2022 Fiscal Period. The amount of the Fire Loss shall be equivalent to the book value of a trust certificate of tangible assets (i.e. the building and other ancillary equipment/facilities, excluding land) in connection with GLP Maishima II.

As of today, the scope of compensation and the timing of payment of insurance claims in connection with the Insurance covering GLP Maishima II are yet to be determined. Therefore, GLP J-REIT will not record the fire insurance income in the February 2022 Fiscal Period.

On the other hand, according to general J-REIT tax practices, the Fire Loss is not deductible from GLP J-REIT's taxable income until the fire insurance income is recorded. Therefore, for the February 2022 Fiscal Period, a discrepancy between GLP J-REIT's taxation and accounting (the "Tax-Accounting Discrepancy") will occur where GLP J-REIT's taxable income will materially exceed the accounting profit by the amount of the Fire Loss. According to the J-REIT tax code, GLP J-REIT loses its tax-exempt status in case it fails to distribute more than 90% of its taxable income in each fiscal period.

Accordingly, to prevent the loss of GLP J-REIT'stax-exempt status and avoid leakage of unitholders' value, GLP J-REIT is planning to increase the amount of its optimal payable distributions for the February 2022 Fiscal Period by 4,414 million yen which is approximately equivalent to the amount of the Fire Loss. This tax/distribution treatment is called the "Allowance for Temporary Difference Adjustments" ("ATA"), as defined by the J-REIT tax code.

Therefore, the forecasts for the February 2022 Fiscal Period have been amended at this point.

  1. Amendment to the forecast concerning operating status and distribution for the fiscal period ending August 31, 2022

GLP J-REIT is expected to record the fire insurance income of 4,800 million yen, the amount of which is based on our best knowledge as of today, as extraordinary income for the August 2022 Fiscal Period. As the amount of the fire insurance income is determined, the Tax-Accounting Discrepancy shall be resolved since the Fire Loss shall be accounted as a deduction from GLP J-REIT's taxable income.

Accordingly, GLP J-REIT is expected to counter-record the full amount of ATA, 4,414 million yen, at the time of distributions payment for the August 2022 Fiscal Period. The subject counter-record of ATA shall reduce the amount of GLP J-REIT's distributions, which is, however, primarily offset by the fire insurance income.

Therefore, the forecasts for the August 2022 Fiscal Period have been amended at this point.

Distributions per unit including optimal payable distributions is expected to be increased from the previous forecast for the fiscal period ending February 28, 2022 and ending August 31, 2022 mainly due to the progress of leasing activity and decrease of asset management fee.

The breakdowns of distributions per unit for the fiscal period ending February 28, 2022 and ending August 31, 2022 are described in the attachment 2 titled "Components of Distributions in the Forecast Assumptions".

Attachment 1

Assumptions Underlying the Forecasts for

the Fiscal Periods Ending February 28, 2022 and Ending August 31, 2022

Item

Assumption

Calculation period

20th Fiscal Period (from September 1, 2021 to February 28, 2022) (181 days)

21st Fiscal Period (from March 1, 2022 to August 31, 2022) (184 days)

GLP J-REIT transferred trust beneficiary interests in GLP Fukusaki in two

separate transactions on December 28, 2021 and March 1, 2022, from the trust

beneficiary interests in real estate (86 properties) held by GLP J-REIT as of

August 31, 2021, to bring the total number of assets held by GLP J-REIT to 85

properties, after which there will be no change in the assets under management

Portfolio

(acquisition of new property, disposition of property held, etc.) until the end of

assets

August 2022.

The trust beneficiary interests in land included in the portfolio for GLP Maishima

II after November 30, 2021 since the Fire burned down the building of GLP

Maishima II on November 29, 2021.

There is a possibility of fluctuation due to acquisition of new properties other than

those mentioned above or disposal of properties.

Number of

It is assumed to be 4,490,369 units, which is the number of investment units

outstanding

issued and outstanding as of today.

investment units

The outstanding of interest-bearing liabilities of GLP J-REIT is 346,520 million yen

as of today.

It is assumed that LTV as of the end of the 20th Fiscal Period will be 44.4% (the

Interest-bearing

estimated LTV as of December 13, 2021: 44.1%) and LTV as of the end of the

liabilities

21st Fiscal Period will be 44.3% (the estimated LTV as of December 13, 2021:

44.3%).

The following formula is used to compute LTV.

LTV = (Balance of interest-bearing liabilities / Total assets) x 100 (%)

Due to the disposition of trust beneficiary interest in GLP Fukusaki on December

28, 2021 and March 1, 2022, GLP J-REIT is expected to recognize gains on sales

of property of 1,511 million yen in the 20th Fiscal Period and 1,518 million yen in

the 21st Fiscal Period, respectively.

No impact is assumed on operating revenue from COVID-19 pandemic because

of the absence of rent decreases related to the pandemic as of today.

Operating

The lease of the solar panels installed on the properties employs variable rent

revenue

calculated taking the effect of seasonal factors into consideration. We assumed

the operating revenue from the solar panels is 418 million yen for the 20th Fiscal

Period and 634 million yen for the 21st Fiscal Period.

Operating revenue is premised on the assumption that there will be no delay or

failure in the payment of rents by lessees.

Rent is assumed to be paid based on the lease agreement for GLP Maishima II

till February 28, 2022, and no rent payment is assumed in the 21st Fiscal Period.

Item

Assumption

With respect to taxes on property and equipment (fixed asset tax, city planning

tax and depreciable asset tax on real estate, etc. hereinafter "property-related

taxes") held by GLP J-REIT, of the tax amounts assessed and determined, the

amounts corresponding to the relevant accounting period are recognized as rental

expenses. However, if property and equipment is newly acquired and adjusted

amounts of property-related taxes for the year under the same accounting period

(the "amounts equivalent to property-related taxes") arise between GLP J-REIT

and the transferor, the relevant adjusted amounts are capitalized as part of the

acquisition cost of the relevant property. Accordingly, as to four properties (GLP

Zama, GLP Niiza, GLP Sayama Hidaka I and GLP Rokko IV) acquired in July

2021, the corresponding property-related taxes, in the amount of 103 million yen,

are assumed to be accounted for as expenses in the 21st Fiscal Period instead

of the 20th Fiscal Period. The amount of property-related taxes capitalized as part

of the acquisition cost is 98 million yen.

Taxes and dues are expected to be 1,821 million yen for the 20th Fiscal Period

Operating

and 1,915 million yen for the 21st Fiscal Period.

expense

Repair and maintenance expenses are expected to be 123 million yen for the 20th

Fiscal Period and 98 million yen for the 21st Fiscal Period.

Property and facility management fees are expected to be 880 million yen for the

20th Fiscal Period and 866 million yen for the 21st Fiscal Period.

Depreciation is expected to be 4,372 million yen for the 20th Fiscal Period and

4,340 million yen for the 21st Fiscal Period.

Of rental expenses, which are the main operating expenses, expenses (excluding

depreciation) have been calculated based on previous actual figures and reflect

the variable factors of expenses.

Please note that repair costs for each calculation period may differ significantly

from the forecast amounts because 1) repair costs may be urgently required due

to damage, etc. to buildings based on factors that are difficult to predict, 2) the

amount for each fiscal period generally differs significantly, and 3) repair costs are

not incurred periodically.

Depreciation, including incidental expenses and future additional capital

expenditure, is calculated using the straight-line method.

NOI (the amount calculated by deducting rental expenses, excluding depreciation

Net Operating

and loss on retirement of noncurrent assets, from operating revenues excluding

Income (NOI)

gain on sales of property and equipment) is expected to be 19,402 million yen for

the 20th Fiscal Period and 19,035 million yen for the 21st Fiscal Period.

  • The total amount of interest expenses on loans, interest expenses on investment corporation bonds, amortization of investment corporation bonds issuance expenses and other finance-related expenses are expected to be 1,271 million
