Notice Concerning Amendment of Articles of Incorporation and Appointment of Directors

Fukuoka REIT Corporation (FRC) hereby provides that, at its board of directors meeting held today, FRC resolved that agenda concerning the amendment of its Articles of Incorporation and the appointment of its directors be presented to its 11th General Meeting of Unitholders to be held on May 22, 2024 as follows, which items shall become effective upon their resolution and approval at said General Meeting of Unitholders.

1 Major Contents and Rationales of Partial Amendments of Articles of Incorporation

  1. In accordance with the enforcement of the amendment provisions stipulated in the proviso to Article 1 of the Supplementary Provisions of the Act Partially Amending the Companies Act (Act No. 70 of 2019) and item (iii) of the Supplementary Provisions of the Act on Arrangement of Relevant Acts Incidental to the Enforcement of the Act Partially Amending the Companies Act (Act No. 71 of 2019; hereinafter referred to as the "Accommodation Act") (including amendment provisions of the Act on Investment Trusts and Investment Corporations, etc. relating thereto) on September 1, 2022, an amendment is deemed to have been made to the FRC's Articles of Incorporation stating that information contained in reference documents for general meetings of unitholders, etc. shall be provided electronically as of September 1, 2022, pursuant to Article 10, paragraph (9) of the Accommodation Act. For the purpose of clarification, corresponding provisions are to be newly established in the FRC's Articles of Incorporation (proposed changes (attached) related to Article 11) to set forth said amendment as well as to stipulate that all or part of the matters, for which electronic provision measures are to be taken as provided for in the applicable Cabinet Office Ordinance, may be excluded from being stated in the paper-based documents to be delivered to unitholders who have made a request for such documents.
  2. In association with the adoption of the "Accounting Standard for Financial Instruments" (ASBJ Statement No. 10) (including related newly enacted or revised accounting standards and application guidelines, etc.), the necessary changes concerning the valuation method of assets are to be implemented (proposed changes (attached) related to Article 34).
