JPR
Governance Initiatives
JPR has consistently set reinforcement of "governance" as one of the most important themes in the sound and efficient
operation of a corporation and has consequently been establishing such a structure from the listing criteria stage
Independent Officer Composition
■At JPR, neither the executive officer nor the supervising officers serve concurrently as officers of the
Asset Manager (TRIM). The independence of the JPR officers is firmly secured by appointing human
resources with high expertise, such as attorneys and accountants, from the outside.
■This arrangement should reinforce the officers' function to check and control the Asset Manager,
ensuring sound and efficient operations of JPR.

Mutual Checks and Controls between the Investment Corporation and Asset Manager
■For important transactions and other arrangements with sponsor companies, the Compliance Committee
screens and verifies the validity and rationality of the deals, in addition to decisions made by the Board of
Directors, the Investment Policy Committee and other institutions on ordinary transaction matters.
■The Compliance Committee, in which an outside attorney participates as a special member, employs
unanimous vote, not majority vote, for approvals as a rule.
■ Executing transaction matters approved by the Compliance Committee requires approval in advance by
JPR's Board of Directors, which comprises directors independent of TRIM.
■For important transaction matters that might cause problematic conflicts of interest with the sponsors,
monitoring through internal and external checks and controls is conducted, involving
screening/verification and approval in advance, in order to secure sound and efficient operations. This
constitutes a characteristic feature of JPR.

Support and Monitoring of Management by the Asset Manager's 5 Sponsors
■TRIM is provided support in terms of properties, human resources and information by respective sponsor
companies based on their strengths, while its shareholding composition is diversified among the
sponsors so as to secure its independence as an asset manager.
■TRIM President and CEO has assumed office after having his employment transferred to TRIM, instead
of being seconded from the sponsor company he belonged to.
■The position of Compliance Office general manager in charge of internal control is assumed by a career
employee.
*Figures represent the ratio of shares owned by the respective sponsor companies against the number of
shares outstanding of the Asset Manager.
The asset management of Japan Prime Realty Investment Corporation (JPR) is
conducted by entrusting such services to an asset manager (Tokyo Realty Investment
Management, Inc. (TRIM)). TRIM maintains close relationships with its sponsors, which
are 5 companies of the Fuyo Group.
Such relationships allow to build on the strengths of respective sponsor companies. On
the other hand, if the sponsor companies become too influential, priority might end up
being placed on the interest of the sponsor companies rather than the interest of the
investment corporation, causing disadvantages to the investment corporation and
unitholders. For sound and efficient operations of the investment corporation, it is
particularly important to prevent disadvantages to unitholders
To that end, JPR thinks it is vital and has worked to build a compliance structure so that
sound and efficient operations can be promised to unitholders.
With a high proportion of career employees, the personnel structure of TRIM also serves to help secure
independence as an asset manager.
