1.Use of Investment Target Assets

The Investment Corporation shall target investment in real estate used primarily as offices and specified assets backed by such real estate.
Furthermore, even in such cases as use by an incorporated educational institution or use mainly as a data center, in cases where use is recognized to be equivalent or similar to offices, such properties may be set as a target of investment as those used as offices. In addition, in the case of those intended for other uses but readily convertible to offices, such properties may be set as a target of investment as those used as offices.
In cases where there are non-office-use portions of the investment target real estate, properties with the leasable floor area of the office portion (including portions that are readily convertible to offices; hereinafter the same) accounting for over 50% of the total leasable floor area shall be set as a target of investment; provided, however, that in cases where several real estate can be used in an integrated manner in socioeconomic terms, in cases where an assessment of these in an integrated manner deems that these are primarily used as offices, on the condition that the leasable floor area of the office portion of the real estate, etc. that the Investment Corporation is to hold in relation to this accounts for over 50% of the total leasable floor area, the Investment Corporation may acquire the concerned real estate, etc.

Furthermore, investments may temporarily deviate from the above ratios of investment based on asset size (the "investment ratios") for such reasons as acquisition of highly-competitive large-scale properties in view of securing stable revenues and sustainable growth of investment assets into the future.
