Notice Regarding Re-conclusion of Alliance Agreement with

Sumitomo Mitsui Finance and Leasing Co., Ltd. and SMFL MIRAI Partners Co., Ltd.

Kenedix Retail REIT Corporation ("the Investment Corporation") and Kenedix Real Estate Fund Management, Inc. ("the Asset Manager") have announced today that they have terminated the former Alliance Agreement ("the Former Alliance Agreement") with Sumitomo Mitsui Finance and Leasing Co., Ltd. ("SMFL") and SMFL MIRAI Partners Co., Ltd. ("FLMP") and that the Asset Manager has entered into new support agreements ("the Alliance Agreements") with SMFL and FLMP.

1. Reasons for cancellation of the old support contract and conclusion of this support contract

As announced in the "Announcement Concerning Changes in Parent Companies (Specified Related Corporation) of the Asset Management Company" announced on January 12, 2021, SMFL and FLMP became the Parent Company (Designated Affiliated Corporations) of the Asset Management Company through a tender offer by SMFL Mirai Partners Investment No. 2, Inc., a corporation in which 100.0% of the issued shares are held by SMFL's wholly-owned subsidiary, to Kenedix, Inc., the parent company of the Asset Management Company. In addition, Kenedix Corporation and SMFL entered into a capital-business alliance on November 20, 2020. The Asset Management Company had previously entered into the Former Alliance Agreement with SMFL and FLMP in relation with the Investment Corporation. However, it has decided to terminate the Former Alliance Agreement and conclude the Alliance Agreement with the aim of expanding the scope of the Alliance Agreement not only to the Investment Corporation but also to other REITs managed by the Asset Manager. Through the Alliance Agreement with SMFL and FLMP, the REITs including the Investment Corporation, which the Asset Management Company manages can expect to promote their growth strategies and contribute to further enhancement of their unitholder value by making maximum use of their extensive support including pipeline support from SMFL and FLMP. The support for the Investment Corporation is substantially the same as the Former Alliance Agreement except for the addition of "provision of environmentally-friendly technology and knowhow."

2. Overview of the Alliance Agreement

  1. Details of support provided through the Alliance Agreement
    • Pipeline support to the Asset Management Company
    • Acquisition support through warehousing support by FLMP and financing for warehousing SPCs by
