2. Reason for the Transaction
The Investment Corporation's Articles of Incorporation stipulates that the "targets and policies of asset management" is to ensure the steady growth of the investment portfolio and medium- to long-term sustainable profit. Under the Articles of Incorporation, the Investment Corporation seeks to expand its assets through continuous property acquisitions and to improve the quality and profitability of the portfolio by replacing assets.
The Investment Corporation has decided to acquire one recently built residential building and to transfer a 37-year-old office building based on the belief that these transactions would help realize the policy above and improve unitholder value. Please refer to 3. Details of the property to be acquired for an outline of the property acquisition and 4. Details of the property to be transferred for an outline of the property transfer.
The property to be acquired is an eight-minute walk from Keisei-Hikifune Station on the Keisei Oshiage Line. The Keisei Oshiage Line shares tracks with the Toei Subway Asakusa Line and the Keikyu Main Line, and tenants of the property are able to easily access major Tokyo train stations without changing trains. It takes around 15 minutes (ridetime; the same applies hereafter) to travel from Keisei-Hikifune Station to Nihonbashi Station. The ride from the Keisei-Hikifune Station to Shinagawa Station and Haneda Airport Station is around 30 minutes and around 50 minutes, respectively. The property is within walking distance of Hikifune Station on the Tobu Isesaki Line and the Tobu Kameido Line. The Tobu Isesaki Line shares tracks with the Tokyo Metro Hanzomon Line. The property is conveniently located regarding public transportation. The property has a supermarket on the first floor, and the entrance to the supermarket faces the community's Kirakira Tachibana Shopping Street. The area is home to many small establishments, such as restaurants and delicatessens, which exude a charming ambiance of old downtown.
There are multiple retail facilities around Hikufune Station which make living in the area convenient. In Sumida-ku, Tokyo, where the property is located, the population and number of households are increasing. Tokyo Skytree opened near the property in May 2012, and the area's popularity is increasing as a residential area. The Investment Corporation anticipates stable demand for properties in the area.
The Investment Corporation purchased the property to be transferred in December 2013. The appraisal value of the property at the end of the fiscal period ended November 30, 2023 (44th Fiscal Period) was 2,660 million yen (33.4% unrealized gain margin), exceeding the book value by 665 million yen. The transfer price is expected to surpass even this appraisal value, standing at 3,520 million yen (the estimated realized gain after taking transfer-related fees into consideration will be 1,471 million yen, and the realized gain ratio, which will be calculated based on the book value and the estimated realized gain, will be 73.7%). The Investment Corporation has been enhancing unitholder value by continually replacing assets to improve the quality of its portfolio and realize gains. It has recorded gains on transfer in the 13 consecutive fiscal periods since the 32nd Fiscal Period. The Investment Corporation plans to transfer a 50% quasi-co-ownership interest in the 45th and the 46th Fiscal Periods, resulting in gains on transfer in 15 consecutive fiscal periods. The Investment Corporation has decided to transfer the property in order to record gains on transfer exceeding unrealized gains in the coming two fiscal periods, which would allow for the realization of its unitholder return policy and enable the payment of consistent distributions. Appraisal value of the property to be acquired is 1,670 million yen, its unrealized gain based on the planned acquisition price is 290 million yen, and the unrealized gain margin is 21.0%. The Investment Corporation estimates that the Transaction will result in an increase of 952 yen in net asset value per unit.
The Investment Corporation will continue to pursue the improvement of profitability and the quality of its portfolio and aim for the steady growth of managed assets and stable medium- to long-term profits from the perspective of increasing unitholder value.
