Tokyo Stock Exchange To Begin Calculating And Publishing "Tokyo Stock Exchange REIT Property Sector Index Series" - A New Index Series Focused On REITs' Investment Property Sectors

Date 18/06/2010

The Tokyo Stock Exchange will begin calculating and publishing the "Tokyo Stock Exchange REIT Property Sector Index Series", from June 21, 2010, to satisfy the diverse needs for indices in the market. This new series of REIT indices is focused on property sector invested in by REITs.

The constituent universe of the Tokyo Stock Exchange REIT Property Sector Index Series comprises all TSE-listed REIT issues. The series consists of the "Tokyo Stock Exchange REIT Office Index", "Tokyo Stock Exchange REIT Residential Index", and the "Tokyo Stock Exchange REIT Retail & Logistics, Others Index". The constituents for each index are selected based on the use of the properties subject to investment by each REIT.

1. Overview

Name of Index Tokyo Stock Exchange REIT Office Index
Tokyo Stock Exchange REIT Residential Index
Tokyo Stock Exchange REIT Retail & Logistics, Others Index
Constituent Selection Based on the most recent securities report submitted for each REIT as of the base date for the periodic review, classify each REIT into one of three property sectors, namely "Office", "Residential", and "Retail & Logistics, Others". (A single REIT issue may only be classified into one property sector, and will not be included in multiple property sector indices.)

Specifically, issues are classified according to the description under the "investment policy" item of the securities report containing description on the use of properties subject to investment by the REIT.

In the case of multiple uses of properties subject to investment described under the "investment policy" item, confirm the basic policy on the investment ratio for each use and classify the issue based on the use with the highest investment ratio.

In the case where there is no description on the investment ratio for each use, or where there are multiple property sectors with high investment ratios, refer to the list of investment properties in the securities report and classify the issue based on the property sector with the highest appraised value.
