Ichigo Owners Brokerage Agreement with Aoyama Zaisan Networks

Ichigo Owners, Ichigo's wholly-owned subsidiary, signed a brokerage agreement today with Aoyama Zaisan Networks Co., Ltd. ("Aoyama Zaisan Networks") in order to further grow its Co-Ownership business.

1. Brokerage Agreement Overview

The brokerage agreement allows for Aoyama Zaisan Networks to solicit investors and broker their investments into Ichigo Owners' Co-Ownership assets.

Ichigo Owners and Aoyama Zaisan Networks will work together leveraging their respective strengths, starting with the third sale of Ichigo Owners' Co-Ownership assets scheduled to be launched on September 1, 2022. Both companies expect to continue working together to help meet clients' real estate investment needs.

2. Brokerage Agreement Rationale

Ichigo Owners provides real estate and related services to clients, putting clients first and building long-term relationships. Since its establishment in March 2017, Ichigo Owners has been leveraging Ichigo's real estate know-how to acquire and manage residential assets tailored to the diverse investment needs of clients, and last year launched its Co-Ownership business which allows investors to make diversified, small- scale investments in a broad array of Ichigo Owners' real estate assets.

Aoyama Zaisan Networks has been providing comprehensive consulting services to individuals and business owners for over 30 years, including asset management and business succession consulting services aimed at contributing to clients' happiness. In addition to its in-house team of specialists including accountants and tax accountants, the company has partnered with accounting and tax accounting offices across Japan to build a nation-wide network.

Combining Ichigo Owners' real estate capabilities and Aoyama Zaisan Networks' broad network will allow both companies to provide many clients with high-quality products suited towards long-term asset formation.
