Management Fee System Linked to Distribution per Unit

NIPPON REIT adopts an asset management fee system in which part of the fees to be paid to the Asset Management Company based on the Articles of Incorporation and the asset management agreement is linked to distribution per unit. We believe that adoption of such an asset management fee system should give an incentive to the Asset Management Company to work to maximize the unitholder value of NIPPON REIT.

■Asset management fees for the fiscal period starting on September 20,2019

<Asset management fee 1 and asset management fee 2>

Calculation method
Asset management fee 1 Total assets of the immediately preceding fiscal period × annual rate of 0.35% (maximum rate)
Asset management fee 2 NOI × DPU volatility (Note 1) × 2.5% (maximum rate)
(Note 1) “DPU volatility” is a figure calculated by using the following formula
DPU volatility = (Adjusted distribution per unit for a certain fiscal period (Note 2) —adjusted distribution per unit for the preceding fiscal period) / adjusted distribution per unit for the previous fiscal period+1
However, when the adjusted distribution per unit for the preceding fiscal period is null, the DPU volatility is deemed to be 1. Moreover, when the DPU volatility for the preceding fiscal period was 0.75 or less and the DPU volatility for the current fiscal period calculated by using the above formula surpassed 1, the DPU volatility is deemed to be 1.
(Note 2) “Adjusted distribution per unit” is the amount obtained by dividing the distributable amount before deducting fees and compensations (Note 3) for a certain fiscal period by the number of investment units issued and outstanding as of the settlement date for the fiscal period (rounded down to the nearest one yen). In calculating adjusted distribution per unit, proper adjustment shall be made in the case of holding its own investment units that have not been disposed of or retired in the accounting period for the business period in which it acquired its investment units and, in the case of increasing the total number of investment units outstanding by splitting own investment units or conducting a gratis allocation of new shares through subscription rights.
(Note 3) “Distributable amount before deducting fees and compensations” is the amount of income before income taxes for the fiscal period calculated in accordance with the accounting practices generally accepted in Japan (on the condition that the asset management fee 2 and gain or loss on sale of specified assets, consumption tax not subject to deductions, etc. are not added to or subtracted from the amount).

<Acquisition fee and disposition fee>

Calculation method
Acquisition fee Acquisition price (Note 1) × 1.0% (maximum rate)
*Acquisition from interested parties: acquisition price × 0.5% (maximum rate)
Disposition fee
(Note 2)		 Transfer price (Note 3) × 1.0% (maximum rate)
*Transfer to interested parties: transfer price × 0.5% (maximum rate)
(Note 1) This means the amount paid for the purchase in the case of a purchase, the appraised value of the asset transferred through exchange in the case of an exchange and the amount contributed in the case of capital contribution, excluding consumption taxes and acquisition expenses
(Note 2) Disposition fee shall be paid only when gain on sale of specified assets is accrued.
(Note 3) This means the amount paid for the sale in the case of a sale and the appraised value of the asset transferred through exchange in the case of an exchange, excluding consumption taxes and transfer expenses
