Notice Concerning Changes to the Articles of Incorporation and Appointment of Directors
Kenedix Retail REIT Corporation ("KRR" or "the Investment Corporation") announced today that its Board of Directors held a meeting today to resolve on changes to its Articles of Incorporation and the appointment of new directors.
KRR plans to hold its Fourth General Meeting of Unitholders on December 22, 2021.
The aforementioned resolutions shall take effect upon approval by the General Meeting of Unitholders. Details of the resolutions are provided below.
-
Changes to the Articles of Incorporation Reasons for the changes are as follows:
(1) A provision is added with regard to the investment unit performance fee, which was introduced with the purpose of linking the asset management fees received by the Asset Management Company more closely with unitholder interest. By this addition, negative excess return will be carried over to one business period following the business period when the total return on the Investment Corporation's investment units falls below the total shareholder return of the Tokyo Stock Exchange REIT Total Return Index during a particular business period and the excess return on the Investment Corporation's investment units becomes a negative figure (concerning Attachment of the current Articles of Incorporation).
(2) We will revise the relevant provisions in accordance with the changes to the fair valuation method for the securities and the rights pertaining to derivative transactions due to the publication of ASBJ Statement No. 30
"Accounting Standard for Fair Value Measurement" and ASBJ Statement No. 10 "Accounting Standard for Financial Instruments" (including newly established or amended accounting standards, guidelines, etc. relating thereto) and other reasons (Article 36, Paragraph 1, Item 6 and Item 9 of the current Articles of Incorporation).
(3) In addition to the above, expressions, and words and phrases will be modified and revised for the preparation of provisions, clarification of the contents of provisions, correction of errors or otherwise. - Appointment of Directors
Reasons for proposal of new directors are as follows:
- This is to request the appointment of one (1) Executive Director (Candidate: Moyuru Watanabe) as of January 1, 2022 since Executive Director Moyuru Watanabe submitted his temporary resignations for adjustment of his term effective as of December 31, 2021.
- This is to request the appointment of one (1) Alternate Executive Director (Candidate: Koichiro Nobata) in
1
preparation to avoid the case of vacant or having fewer Executive Directors than that designated by relevant regulatory requirements.
- This is to request appointments of two (2) Supervisory Directors (Candidates: Yoshitoshi Yasu and Akiko Yamakawa) as of January 1, 2022 since Supervisory Directors Yoshitoshi Yasu and Akiko Yamakawa submitted their temporary resignations for adjustment of their terms effective as of December 31, 2021.
- This is to request the appointment of one (1) Alternate Supervisory Director (Candidate: Satoshi Hiyama) in preparation to avoid the case of vacant or having fewer Supervisory Directors than that designated by relevant regulatory requirements.
(For more details regarding the appointment of directors, please refer to the "Notice Concerning the Fourth General Meeting of Unitholders" attached.)
