Global Link Management Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President & CEO: Daichu Kim; TSE Prime: 3486; hereinafter referred to as "GLM"), a company dealing in investment real estate, announces that it has decided to increase the starting salary for new graduate employees to ¥350,000 per month from the 2027 fiscal year as part of its human capital investment aimed at sustainable growth and enhancement of corporate value.

Background and Objectives of the Increase

Our company is engaged in business development, primarily in real estate development and revitalization, which requires advanced expertise and speed. We recognize that the quality and productivity of our human resources are crucial management factors that influence our mid- to long-term performance. To clearly convey our stance of expecting early and high added value creation from young talent who will lead future growth, and to strengthen our recruitment competitiveness and foster employee retention and development, we have decided to set the starting salary for new graduates joining in April 2027 at ¥350,000 per month (base salary), an increase of ¥80,000 per month from the previous amount.

Average Annual Salary

We have established a compensation system that appropriately reflects contributions to performance and corporate value enhancement. As a result, last fiscal year, the company-wide average annual salary, including incentives, exceeded ¥13 million. Furthermore, in the "Ranking of Companies Where Annual Salaries Have Truly Increased" published by Toyo Keizai Online of Toyo Keizai Inc. (https://toyokeizai.net/articles/-/917345?page=2), our company ranked 13th overall (1st in the real estate industry) based on fiscal 2024 results.

Our Initiatives in Human Capital Management

Our group has set "Creating Future Value Through Investment" as its Group Mission and clearly positions "Active Investment in People and Business" as one of the growth strategies in our medium-term management plan "GLM100" for fiscal 2025. Specifically, we are regularly reviewing our evaluation system and expanding our incentive programs with the aim of establishing a fair and equitable personnel evaluation system.

We will continue to implement various measures proactively and continuously to enhance employee engagement and improve sales and profits per employee. Through these initiatives, we aim to achieve No. 1 in the industry for average annual salary, and to realize our Group Philosophy and Group Policy "GLM1000".
