To the Unitholders

-Aiming for growth with "Agile Response" to post-COVID-19 from "Revitalization" in COVID-19-

In the 10th fiscal period (fiscal period ended April 30, 2021), MIRAI Corporation steadily promoted the three "Revitalization Plan" to address the issues that emerged due to the COVID-19 crisis and the achievement of the plan is generally in sight.

On the other hand, looking at the world, particularly in Europe and in the United States, the number of infection has been decreasing and the economy is beginning to show signs of recovery due to the significant progress of vaccination. It is expected that Japan will follow the same path in the future. The post-COVID-19 world is beginning to emerge, however, compared to pre-COVID-19, we foresee that it will be a new world where "things that never change", "things that change" and "things that evolve" co-exist.

Now that the achievement of "Revitalization Plan" is in sight, from the 11th fiscal period (fiscal period ending October 31, 2021), MIRAI will, instead of confronting this major trend in the post-COVID-19 era, establish a foothold for the next growth with "Agile Response" unique to a diversified REIT.

  1. Summary of Operating Results for the Fiscal Period under Review
    (i) Main History of MIRAI
    MIRAI is diversified J-REIT. Based on the Act on Investment Trusts and Investment Corporations of Japan (Act No. 198 of 1951; including revisions enforced thereafter) (hereinafter "AITIC"), MIRAI was founded on December 4, 2015 with a capital contribution of 150 million yen (750 units), by Mitsui Bussan & IDERA Partners Co., Ltd. (hereinafter the "Asset manager") as the founding planner and was listed on the REIT section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange on December 16, 2016 (securities code: 3476). As April 30, 2021, the total number of outstanding investment units are 1,662,240 and MIRAI owns 34 properties (total acquisition price of 153,904 million yen).
    MIRAI positions assets located in the three major metropolitan areas of Japan with high population concentrations as its main investment targets and aims to obtain mid-to-long term stable cash flows and sustained growth in unitholders' value by building a portfolio centered on its "Core Assets" (Note).

(Note) "Core Assets" means the assets that constitute the core of MIRAI's portfolio. Specifically, among traditional investment properties such as offices, retail properties, hotels, residential and logistics properties. Occupancy rates of 80% or more must be secured in principle (including cases where such occupancy rates are expected) with MIRAI to determine a stable rental income to be expected.

(ii) Operating Environment and Business Performance

During the fiscal period under review, the Japanese economy continued to be in a severe situation due to the spread of the COVID-19, and the hotel and retail facility sectors in particular were greatly affected. In the hotel sector, many hotels experienced a significant drop in occupancy rates in January and February due to the impact of the state of emergency declaration, etc. Thereafter, occupancy rates gradually recovered in March and April, mainly for business-use hotels. However, a full-fledged recovery has not yet been achieved due to the re-issuance of the state of emergency declaration mainly in major metropolitan areas after April 25 and its extension. In addition, inbound and tourism-oriented hotels are expected to continue to be affected by the COVID-19. In the retail facility sector, the impact of the spread of the COVID-19 has been limited except for some urban properties, and in April, Mi-Nara, a retail complex in Nara Prefecture, underwent a redevelopment including the replacement of core tenants in order to improve its prosperity. In the office leasing market, the

4

impact of the COVID-19 has become apparent in some properties. In BizMiiX Yodoyabashi, the conversion from a "hotel" to a "ready- to-use serviced office" was completed and tenants started using the building in January.

Under such circumstances, MIRAI acquired four properties in total: "TCA Building" (acquisition price: 2,120 million yen) on January

28, 2021, "Odawara Material Storage and Delivery Center (land)" (acquisition price: 2,300 million yen) on March 1, 2021, "Cainz Mall

Hikone (land)" (acquisition price: 3,598 million yen) and "Maxvalu Takatori (land)" (acquisition price: 950 million yen) on March 31,

2021. In addition, MIRAI disposed "Comfort Hotel Shin-Yamaguchi" (disposition price: 920 million yen) on November 30, 2020, and

"Hillcoat Higashi-Shinjuku" (disposition price: 4,380 million yen) and "Nippo Hommachi Building" (disposition price: 1,700 million yen) on March 26, 2021. As a result, as of the end of the 10th fiscal period, MIRAI had 34 properties under management, with a total acquisition price of 153,904 million yen, a total leasable area of 347,247.73 sqm, and occupancy rate of 98.1%.

(iii) Overview of Fund Procurement

During this fiscal period under review, MIRAI borrowed 1,500 million yen in short-term borrowings based on the commitment line on January 28, 2021 to fund the acquisition of "TCA Building", and borrowed 2,000 million yen in short-term borrowings on March 1, 2021 to fund the acquisition of "Odawara Material Storage and Delivery Center (land)". In addition, MIRAI repaid 500 million yen in short-term borrowings based on the commitment line before maturity using part of the proceeds from the disposition of the property on March 29, 2021. Furthermore, MIRAI borrowed 1,500 million yen in long-term borrowings on the same day to repay 1,500 million yen in borrowings maturing on April 30, 2021. The balance of borrowings and investment corporation bonds as of the end of the 10th fiscal period was 78,700 million yen (of which 3,000 million yen was short-term borrowings, 11,500 million yen was current portion of long- term borrowings, 62,200 million yen was long-term borrowings, and 2,000 million yen was investment corporation bonds).

For the purpose of securing flexible and stable fund procurement and structuring an even stronger financial base, MIRAI has established a commitment line with a maximum borrowing amount of 3,000 million yen (the balance of unexercised credit line as of the date of this document is 2,000 million yen).

(iv) Operating Results and Distributions

As a result of the above operation, MIRAI recorded operating revenue of 4,973 million yen, operating income of 2,321 million yen, ordinary income of 2,073 million yen, and net income of 2,072 million yen for the 10th fiscal period.

Profit distributions for the current fiscal period (excluding distributions in excess of earnings) shall be made in accordance with the distribution policy set forth in the Articles of MIRAI and in accordance with Article 67.15 of the Act on Special Measures Concerning Taxation (Law No. 26 of 1957, including subsequent amendments. hereinafter the "Act on Special Measures Concerning Taxation"), MIRAI decided to distribute 2,057,853,120 yen, which is the entire amount of the profit as defined in Article 136, Paragraph 1 of the AITIC, except for fractions of less than one yen, in an attempt to make profit distributions tax-deductible. In addition, MIRAI determined to make cash distribution in excess of earnings in an amount that it determines as the amount equivalent to the items of deduction from net assets (those provided in Article 2, Paragraph 2, Item 30, b of the Ordinance on Accountings of Investment Corporations) with due consideration of the impact of the items of deduction from net assets on cash distribution. Accordingly, in the fiscal period under review, the decision was made to distribute 14,960,160 yen, which is calculated as the amount equivalent to changes in deferred losses on hedges during the period of 15,349,964 yen, as cash distribution attributable to allowance for temporary difference adjustment (those provided in Article 2, Paragraph 2, Item 30 of the Ordinance on Accountings of Investment Corporations). As a result of the above, the distributions per investment units for the fiscal period under review (excluding distributions in excess of earnings) was 1,247 yen.
