[First in Gunma Prefecture] VSI Urban Development Co., Ltd. Completes Registration as a 'General Real Estate Investment Advisory Business,' Launching as a New Option for Regional Real Estate Investment

Towards a rich society where people and cities live in harmony. VSI Urban Development listens to the voices of local communities and builds safe and comfortable urban environments. Through future-oriented development, we promote sustainable town planning where everyone can live with a smile.

《Background of Registration》

Currently, with declining investment yields due to soaring urban real estate prices, a structural shift is expected where investment funds flow into promising regional city properties that offer relatively lower acquisition costs and stable returns. However, until now, there were no real estate investment advisory businesses registered with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism in Gunma Prefecture, leaving a void for such a recipient. Our company, having grasped the potential of this market and the rapid changes in the investment environment, has completed registration as the only 'General Real Estate Investment Advisory Business' in Gunma Prefecture to maximize the value of regional real estate and build a transparent investment environment.

《Action Guidelines》

Point 1: 'First-mover advantage' and market dominance as the sole registered entity in Gunma Prefecture

As the only general real estate investment advisory business in the prefecture that meets the strict requirements of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, we will serve as a public window for exclusively receiving consultations from investors (individuals, corporations, and institutional investors) both inside and outside the prefecture who are considering regional investments. In an environment without competition, we will quickly secure excellent local real estate projects and build a strong business foundation.

Point 2: Low-risk, high-return business model combining flow and stock income

In addition to 'consulting and brokerage fees (flow income)' generated during property selection and investment scheme formation, we will steadily secure continuous 'investment advisory fees (stock income)' associated with asset management and operational instructions after operations commence. This establishes a stable revenue structure that is less susceptible to economic fluctuations.

Point 3: Achieving overwhelmingly low vacancy risk through synergy with 'residential support business'

To maintain the value of investment properties, we will collaborate with the network of our 'residential support business' (e.g., social reintegration step houses). By accurately matching diverse housing needs, we maintain high occupancy rates far exceeding those of general rental properties, thereby reliably securing funds for investor distribution and our own management fees.

《System and Roadmap Leading the Unique 'Real Estate x Welfare' Model》

① Unique ESG investment scheme (social impact investment) based on 'true residential support'

When proposing attractive yields for regional properties to investors, our utmost priority is the complete coexistence of 'real estate investment' and 'true social inclusion.' Clearly distinguishing ourselves from profit-first businesses, we take on the practical implementation of residential support with serious commitment, such as establishing 'free step houses' to support social reintegration and taking on the severe risks of 'rent guarantee' for those who cannot secure it elsewhere.

These sincere efforts on the ground have been highly evaluated by Maebashi City and others, leading to our representative's appointment as Vice Chairman of the Residential Support Council at its inception (December 2025) and fostering strong trust with the administration.

The representative, who holds professional qualifications in medical and welfare fields (e.g., Social Welfare Officer Appointment Qualification, Clinical Laboratory Technologist), directly undertakes resident support and resolves vacancy and delinquency risks. This transforms older regional properties into 'safe ESG investments' for investors, enabling both stable returns and contributions to the community. This is the unique value we provide to investors through our real estate investment advisory business.

② [First in Gunma Prefecture] Next-phase 'Welfare x Real Estate' business development to minimize investment risk

Using this real estate investment advisory registration as a starting point, we have set the following milestones to further solidify the 'safety (risk hedge)' of the schemes we offer to investors:

* Registration as a 'Rent Guarantee Provider' for individuals in financial difficulty (scheduled for July 2026)

By providing guarantees in-house for individuals typically rejected by general guarantee companies, we promote occupancy while offering investors a secure investment environment with 'zero rent delinquency risk.'

* Registration as a 'Second Type Social Welfare Business' (Daily Life Support Housing Facilities, Low-Cost Accommodation, Employment Training)

In addition to residential support under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, we will integrate a welfare-oriented approach (life and employment support after occupancy) under the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. This group of businesses, being discussed with Maebashi City and leveraging the representative's social welfare officer qualification, will be the first of its kind (No. 1) in Gunma Prefecture. By proactively preventing post-occupancy issues ourselves, we will protect investors' valuable assets in the medium to long term.
