Notice Concerning Partial Amendment to the Management Guidelines of the Asset Manager
Star Asia Investment Management Co., Ltd. (the “Asset Manager”), to which Star Asia Investment Corporation(“SAR”) entrusts the management of its assets, announces today the Asset Manager’s resolution to make a partial
amendment to the management guidelines, which are internal rules of the Asset Manager, at the Board ofDirectors meeting held today. Details are as follows.

1.

Summary and Background of the Amendment
SAR, as a comprehensive REIT upholding the objective of maximizing unitholders’ interest, invests in“offices”, “retail facilities”, “residences”, “logistic facilities”, “hotels” and “student residences”. Since going
public, SAR has continued active management and has acquired properties through 4 public offerings andincreased asset size to JPY 179.6 billion (60 properties) through the merger etc. Given the expansion of asset
size to date in the process of external growth, the impact which a single asset has on the entire portfolio has
decreased, and SAR believes that portfolio’s risk tolerance has continued to expand.
Furthermore, of the assets to be acquired which was announced in today’s press release entitled “NoticeConcerning Acquisition of Real Estate Beneficiary Interests in Trust and entering into Lease Contracts”,
although “abeno nini (Retail)” and ”abeno nini (Hotel)” both comprise a part of a single large building, theirusage differ and are conceived to have differing risk-return characteristics from the perspectives of risks
related to business cycles, and leaving of tenants and rent reductions of each property. Also, “abeno nini” is asectional ownership building and it is possible to sell and purchase each of ”abeno nini (Retail)” and ”abenonini (Hotel)” independently, so SAR views the two properties as separate transaction targets.
Taking into account such circumstances, the Management Guidelines which prescribe the basic rules forinvestment management has been partially amended today, and the definition of middle-sized assets has
been revised.
Also, within the Asset Manager’s Management Guidelines, SAR has established the Tokyo Area (see Note) as
the main target investment area, and prescribed that for the time being the investment ratio in the same area

Note： This press release does not in any way constitute any part of an offering of securities for investment. This press release ha s
been prepared for the purpose of announcing to the public certain matters relating to partial amendment to the management
guidelines of the asset manager, and not for the purpose of soliciting any investment, within or outside of Japan.
Additionally, this press release is not an offer of securities for sale in the United States. The securities referred to here in havenot been, and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) andmay not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an exemption from registration under the Securities
Act. No offering or sale of securities in the United States will be made in connection with the above -mentioned transactions.
This press release is not for publication, distribution or release, directly or indirectly in or into the United States of Am erica.

1should be at least 70% (on acquisition price basis). After the assets to be acquired are acquired, the Tokyo area
ratio of the entire portfolio will become 66.7%. Although the investment ratio in the Tokyo Area will be
estimated to become lower than 70%, if the 3 suburban retail facilities, “La Park Kishiwada”, “Suroy Mall
Chikushino” and “Seiyu Minakuchi”, which have been considered to be sold are excluded, the calculated Tokyo
Area ratio is 72.4%. As SAR will continue to uphold the investment policy of maintaining at least 70% (onacquisition price basis) of investments in the Tokyo Area going forward as the main investment target area,
there are no changes made to the investment ratios set by area prescribed in the Management Guidelines.
(Note)SAR has classified investment target areas into “Tokyo Area”, “Greater Tokyo Area”, “Osaka Area”, “Nagoya Area”,“Fukuoka Area”, “Sapporo Area” and other ordinance-designated cities, and has designated investment areas
within each classification by asset type (usage). With respect to offices and retail facilities, the 23 wards of Tokyo,Kawasaki-shi, and Yokohama-shi which SAR believes have high demand for such properties are defined as “TokyoArea”, and for residences, logistic facilities, hotels, and student residences, given their feature that demand is
expected from areas other than the above, Tokyo, Kanagawa, Saitama, and Chiba prefectures are defined as the"Tokyo Area”.

Overview of the Amendment to Management Guidelines
The parts that were changed are underlined.
<Before amendment>
2. Investment Policy(1) Investment Policy[2] SAR’s Portfolio Structuring Policy(A) Strategic investment based on market analysis
b. Investments centered on middle-sized assets
Our Company is of the view that it is reasonable to accumulate middle-sized assets (refers toreal estate etc. with acquisition price under JPY 10 billion. The same applies below.) in order todiversify risks. As middle-sized assets have abundant volume of supplies compared to largesized assets (refers to real estate etc. with acquisition price of JPY 10 billion or more. The sameapplies below.), it is relatively easier to select high-grade properties from them and incorporate
them into the portfolio, or select purchasers upon asset replacement as there are many market
participants. Therefore, our Company considers that by concentrating investments to middlesized assets, it is possible to add flexibility in management going forward.
Furthermore, by accumulating high-grade middle-sized assets while executing diversified
investments into various asset-types of properties, the Company will aim to diversify risks
related to business cycles and the leaving of tenants and reduction and rents of each property,
and minimize the impact on portfolio revenues.
If the acquired asset is a sectional ownership right or co-ownership interest (or a trust
beneficial interest with sectional ownership rights or co-ownership interest as entrusted assets),the determination of whether an asset falls under middle-sized asset or large-sized asset will bemade based on the value of the entire property, and not on the acquisition price of the partacquired by SAR.

guidelines of the asset manager, and not for the purpose of soliciting any investment, within or outside of Japan.
