Notice concerning Conclusion of Memorandum of Understanding to Amend the Fixed-term Building Lease and Property Management Agreement pertaining to the rent conditions for the period from January to June, 2022 with Major Tenant

Invincible Investment Corporation ("INV") announced the decision to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding (the "MOU") to amend each fixed-term building lease and property management agreement ("MLPM Agreements") pertaining to the rent conditions for the period from January 1, 2022 to June 30, 2022 for domestic hotels owned by INV with INV's main tenant, MyStays Hotel Management Co., Ltd. ("MHM") and its affiliates (the "MHM Group"), who operate the hotels, as decided today by Consonant Investment Management Co., Ltd. ("CIM"), the asset manager of INV.

The MHM Group has received investments through funds managed by affiliates of the Sponsor, Fortress Investment Group LLC ("FIG"). Therefore, CIM has treated the MHM Group as equivalent to Sponsor-related Persons. As such, CIM and INV have sincerely deliberated, discussed, and resolved to enter into the MOU in accordance with the internal rules of CIM to handle the related party transactions.

1. Outline of the MOU

Since the spread of the new coronavirus (COVID-19) began to have a tremendous impact on the hotel sector, INV entered into an MOU with the MHM Group to amend each MLPM Agreement six times in total starting from May 11, 2020 (collectively referred to as the "Executed MOU"). For details of the previously Executed MOU, please refer to each press release described in "6. Reference Press Release List" below.

These Executed MOU were agreed as a tentative measure with respect to the 73 domestic hotels leased through the trustees to the MHM Group (the "Subject Properties") for the period from March 1, 2020 to December 31, 2021. Thus, unless otherwise agreed, from January 2022 onward, the terms and conditions under the MLPM Agreements prior to the amendment by each MOU (hereinafter referred to as the

"Original Leasing Terms and Conditions") will be applied. On the other hand, the impact of the spread of COVID-19 on the hotel sector remains enormous. As of today, while the sixth wave that started from the beginning of the year seems to have peaked out, the daily number of new COVID-19 cases in Japan remains high. Domestic hotel demand remains sluggish partly due to the quasi-state of emergency declarations widely applied across the country, and it remains impossible for the MHM Group to pay the full amount of the fixed rent under the Original Leasing Terms and Conditions. In order to continue the operation of the Subject Properties by the MHM Group, a certain amount of rent reduction is unavoidable during the period from January 2022 onward as well.

Under such circumstances, INV has concluded that INV must accept to amend a part of the MLPM Agreement as an additional tentative measure in order to continue the operation of the Subject Properties, upon giving due consideration to INV's interests to the fullest extent as well as its financial conditions.

Consequently, as a result of discussions and negotiations with the MHM Group, INV and CIM determined to enter into the MOU with the MHM Group and change the Original Leasing Terms and Conditions as described below as a tentative measure for the period from January 1, 2022 to June 30, 2022 (the "First Half of 2022") with respect to the Subject Properties. The period to be covered by the temporary reduction measures will be six months, the same as the MOU to amend MLPM Contract concluded on March 11, 2021 (hereinafter referred to as the "March 2021 MOU"), and different from the three months for the MOU to amend MLPM Contract concluded on December 8, 2021. In calculating the variable rent, in summary, if the total GOP of all Subject Properties (73 properties) is positive after deducting the management services fees and the total fixed rent on a six-month basis, INV will receive the positive amount as variable rent.

Half of 2021 did not reach JPY 1,000 million, and (ii) the level that MHM Group is highly likely to be capable to pay despite the current severe operating conditions. If the GOP for the Subject Properties (after deducting the management services fees) for the First Half of 2022 performs well, and thereby the actual result exceeds the total amount of the fixed rent (for 73 properties for six months in aggregate), INV will receive the amount of such excess amount as variable rent.

Contrary to the MOU to amend the MLPM Contract concluded on May 11, 2020, INV will not bear the property management costs nor increase the amount of the management fees payable to the MHM Group under the provisional measure by the MOU.

For the list of the Subject Properties, please refer to the Appendix. For an overview of the current lease agreements, including the terms and conditions of rent for each Subject Property, please refer to "Part I Fund Information / 1 Status of Fund / 5 Management Status / (2) Investment Assets" of the Securities Report for the 36th fiscal period (from January 1, 2021 to June 30, 2021) filed by INV on September 24, 2021 (available in Japanese only).

The outlook for the future status of the spread of COVID-19 infections and its impact on the demand for hotels is still inevitably uncertain. Therefore, INV plans to make this change a provisional measure for the period up to the end of June 2022, and, if necessary, to discuss the details of the changes in the leasing terms and conditions after such period based on the future situation.

2. Background and Reasons for Conclusion of the MOU and its Impact on INV

  1. Background and Reasons
    The Japanese economy has deteriorated rapidly since late February 2020 due to the effects of COVID- 19. On April 7, 2020, the Japanese government declared a state of emergency. In addition, the number of foreign tourists visiting Japan declined by 99.9% (year-over-year) for each month from April to July because of global travel restrictions. Also, the demand for inbound travel has not recovered due to the
    Japanese government's strengthened quarantine measures and restrictions on travel by other countries. COVID-19 has repeatedly spread and subsided periodically. As a result, the recovery in domestic demand for travel has been stagnant which has had a serious impact on Japan's overall economy, especially on the hotel sector.

The measures under the Executed MOU were tentative ones only applicable for the period from March 1, 2020 to the end of December 2021, and as a result, the MHM Group was able to continue to operate the Subject Properties to date, and avoid a short-term loss for INV due to a potential bankruptcy of the MHM Group (i.e., complete loss of rent income, cost burden associated with rebranding, etc.) and a medium- to long-term loss due to a change of operators (i.e., deterioration of the rent level from the Original Leasing Terms and Conditions, increase in the management services fees, etc.), which INV and CIM were most concerned about.

INV and CIM have closely monitored the performance of the hotel GOP for the Subject Properties and continue to request that the MHM Group maximize its cost-cutting efforts, while closely reviewing its

financial condition. However, if INV and CIM claim payment of the rent to the MHM Group in the same rent structure for January 2022 and thereafter as stated in the Original Leasing Terms and Conditions, the MHM Group will inevitably default on its obligations, which INV has determined in turn would most likely impair its medium- to long-term profits. On the other hand, INV and CIM have continued to consider all options, including the replacement of the tenant, but in light of the current market environment, it remains extremely difficult to find a successor tenant that can operate all of the Subject Properties under the conditions equivalent to the Original Leasing Terms and Conditions.

Under such circumstances, INV has entered into the MOU after deciding to continue certain tentative measures as above for the First Half of 2022 to the extent that there is no significant adverse effect on INV's cash flow, upon giving due consideration to the fullest scope of INV's interests.

  1. MOU's impact on INV
    Given the amendment under the MOU, the timing of the next rent payment by the MHM Group will be postponed to August 10, 2022. The amount of INV's cash reserves as of the end of January 2022 was approximately JPY 17.1 billion, and the amount of INV's cash reserves are expected to be approximately
    JPY 12.1 billion as of the end of July 2022 after considering the reduction of rent from January to June 2022 under the MOU. The estimated amount of (i) payment of operation costs (approximately JPY 0.6 billion), (ii) interest payments for the time being (the total amount of interest for INV's interest-bearing debt due during the period from February 2022 to July 2022 is approximately JPY 0.6 billion), and debt repayment in the amount of JPY 3.6 billion as announced in "Notice concerning Debt Financing (Refinance)" dated March 10, 2022. Therefore, there is no concern about INV's operation and cash position.
