GM, Finance Hisayoshi Towata (Tel: 03-3539-5943) Notice of Acquisition of Asset CREED OFFICE Investment Corporation (the Investment Corporation ) is pleased to announce that the Investment Corporation has decided on the acquisition of an asset today. Details of the acquisition are as follows: 1. Summary of Acquisition (1) Asset to be acquired : Real estate (2) Name of the acquired asset : COI Ebisu Nishi (property number: A-21) * (3) Location : 2-7-3, Ebisu-Nishi, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo (4) Scheduled acquisition cost : 3,000,000,000 yen (not including acquisition expenses, property tax, city planning tax and consumption tax) (5) Vendor : Refer to the Vendor Profile below (6) Signing date of the sales : June 5, 2007 (scheduled) agreement (7) Date of acquisition : By the end of November 2007 (scheduled) (8) Funds for acquisition : Use of the Investment Corporation s own funds is planned. *The name is scheduled to be changed to the name above after the Investment Corporation acquires the asset. 2. Reasons for Acquisition The reason for this acquisition is to improve the portfolio by increasing the weighting of the Investment Corporation s investment in office buildings located in the five wards in central Tokyo, reflecting the basic policy of asset management and the investment stance provided in the Regulation of the Investment Corporation. When deciding on the acquisition, the following points were assessed in particular: Good location and luxurious building specifications that are rare in the Ebisu area The Ebisu area where the asset is located is an area with small and large tenants on both major roads and alleys centering around Ebisu Station on JR Lines and the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line, and has merchandise, food and service related stores as well as the characteristics of the region as an information center. Consequently, the area has active tenant demand from primarily IT related firms and software development related firms. On the other hand, the supply of office buildings is relatively low compared to the large size of the demand and vacancy rates in the area have hovered at low levels. The asset is situated within such an area, on a corner lot that is highly visible and accessible, about a five-minute walk from Ebisu Station. Constructed in 1992, the building boasts luxurious specifications. An example is the marble floors and 1
walls of the first floor entrance. In addition, rental units are installed with individual air-conditioning systems on each floor and, because of its regular shape, tenants will find it easy to use. The fact that there is multilevel parking with spaces for 18 vehicles can be viewed as another point that makes this asset superior to surrounding buildings. The occupancy ratio of the asset, as of today, is 100%. Concerning the rental units that the seller is currently using, the seller plans to continue using those rental units after the Investment Corporation acquires the asset. Thus, a regular lease agreement is scheduled to be newly entered with the seller as the lessee at the same time as when the acquisition of the asset is settled. 3.
