Outline of Asset Management Fee

The management fee paid by KDXR to the Asset Management Company is based on the following calculations as stipulated in KDXR’s Articles of Incorporation.
The Investment Unit Performance Fee is a fee structure in which the amount of the fee is determined by comparing the performance of the TSE REIT Index with the price of the investment units of KDXR. The ESG Performance-Linked Compensation is a compensation that is linked to the GRESB's score, a benchmark that measures the sustainability performance of the real estate sector. The ESG performance-linked fee is linked to the GRESB's assessment of the real estate sector's sustainability performance. By linking the asset management fee structure to unitholder profit and sustainability indices, we aim to maximize unitholder value and sustainable growth.
