Explanation of Changes

Total portfolio occupancy was unchanged from November. Other occupancy decreased because of lower occupancy at Ichigo Serviced Apartments Ginza, and Four Major Regional Cities and Other Regional Cities occupancy decreased because of lease terminations at Ichigo Hakata Building and Ichigo Sendai East Building. Office occupancy increased due to new tenants at Ichigo Higashi Gotanda Building and Ichigo Nishi Honmachi Building.

Value-Add Actions

Ichigo Office REIT has carried out value-add enhancements at Ichigo Mita Building to prepare for a rapid lease-up of three floors (1,288m2) to be vacated in March 2017. By improving shared kitchen areas and restrooms, Ichigo Office REIT is working to increase the building's competitiveness and tenant appeal in order to bring in new tenants quickly and at higher rents.

Ichigo Office REIT will continue to drive higher earnings for shareholders via value-add capex and strategic tenant leasing.
