Residence Iidabashi" to be acquired on April 1, 2022 to the existing 112 properties owned as of the end of the 40th fiscal period and also by deducting "Round-Cross Mita" to be disposed on April 1, 2022, "Beside Kiba" to be disposed on June 1, 2022 and "Cross Residence Kanazawa Kohrinbo" to be disposed on February 1, 2023.

OJR has fully refinanced its loans of 7,000 million yen due on March 22, 2022 and 6,830 million yen due on March 31, 2022.

As a result, OJR incurs interest-bearing liabilities 297,637 million yen including loans of 267,137 million yen and investment corporation bonds of 30,500 million yen and has an LTV based on total assets(Note1, 2) of 43.5% as of today.

OJR during the corresponding year.
