The mall is located in the Tsukiji district, where the Minatomachi Kisarazu Saisei Project (port town Kisarazu revitalization project), which is positioned as Kisarazu City’s basic plan, has been implemented. It is a multi-core mall-type commercial facility that includes an external active leisure zone and multiple anchor tenants on its very large site.
The mall is located in the center of Tendo Haga Town, which is being developed by the Tendo city government. It has been developed as a “tourist shopping mall” that takes advantage of the features of Tendo, including numerous tourist attractions, in particular the hot springs.
The mall is located in Kyoto Katsuragawa Tsumugi-no-machi, a development complex on the site of the former Kyoto factory of Kirin Co., Ltd., which lies across the border between Kyoto City and Muko City. The mall design incorporates traditional elements of the old capital Kyoto in a modern style.
The mall is located at the center of the Chayashinden Land Readjustment Project area, a new urban area including schools, houses, and parks is being created. It is the first facility using the “development improvement promotion area system”* introduced for the first time in Nagoya.* A system that promotes regional redevelopment based on commercial facilities even in the specific use districts in which opening of large malls is limited by the City Planning Act.
It is close to Toyoda Station on the JR Chuo Line and takes advantage of the local rich natural environment. The mall’s contribution to increased biodiversity such as the 4th-floor rooftop biotope was credited and certified as Business Innovation in Harmony with Nature and Community.

The Company is carrying out development based on the cooperation agreement signed with the Wuhan City People's Government in 2011, which requires the development of shopping malls at five or more locations in Wuhan City in five years. The Company has determined the opening of two malls in addition to this mall and started construction.
The new mall is located in Dongxihu District, northwest of the center of Wuhan, a central city in the Middle China region going through rapid economic growth with well-developed subways and rapid transit railways and three Development Zones.
The area is adjacent to the eastern side of Wuhan Economic & Technological Development Zone, which is designated as a national level development zone where the population is increasing rapidly. Many foreign-based companies operate in the surrounding areas.
The mall is adjacent to Jinyintan Station, the first station on Subway Line 2, and easily accessible from a major ring road (3rd Ring Road) in the city, and visitors from a wide area can be expected.
A gourmet food section is placed on each floor and matches each theme, comprising a total of 15,000 m2 of a “food” world that is one of the largest among Aeon Malls in China.

- In Japan, the timing for opening new malls has been changed based on revised plans and schedules in response to delays in opening malls due to a gap between demand and supply caused by increased demand and a lack of labor in the construction industry, as well as increased construction costs.
- In China, some mall openings have been delayed due to stricter store-opening procedures that have been imposed. (Disclosed in the financial results for the first half on October 3, 2014)
- In the ASEAN region, the business plan for Indonesia was revised, considering factors such as the risk of volatile exchange rates and stricter foreign investment control, and the years for opening the malls have been changed.

Use of REIT as a Growth Tool We will sell land and buildings we own to a REIT and, at the same time, lease all of the land and buildings from the REIT by signing a sale and leaseback agreement.
We will therefore continue to operate the malls in the same way as we did before the sale, and will receive rents directly from the end tenants. Our lease payments to the REIT will be fixed, which will thus earn stable income, and we will benefit from increased earnings from our business operations. The figure on the lower right provides an overview of the sale of our six existing malls to Aeon REIT as of November 22, 2013. While the market valuation when we
owned and operated the six malls was ¥140 billion, our sale price to the REIT is ¥64.6 billion, as the market valuation is based on ¥4.5 billion paid by us to the REIT for the lease.
While we will lose the unrealized profit of ¥76.7 billion from the increased market valuation of the leased real estate due to the sale of existing property to Aeon REIT, we will lease back the property when the sale takes place and gain a non-asset profit of ¥8.2 billion, which will allow us to maintain an unrealized non-asset profit. The collection of ¥64.6 billion will allow us to create new cash flow and unrealized profit by re-investing in the next new malls to be opened.
We have liquidated assets by selling them to REITs other than Aeon REIT using the same scheme.

Features of the mall

The mall will open as the core facility of the Awase Land Adjustment Project in Kitanakagusuku, a model example of the early commercialization of land formerly used as a US military base. The location will potentially attract visitors from all over Okinawa Island by taking advantage of accessibility through the interchanges of main roads and expressways in the neighboring area.
The mall will offer products and services in four categories: “Gourmet & Shopping,” “Entertainment & Culture,” “Spaces,” and “Services.” Approximately 60 restaurants with around 5,500 seats will form one of the largest collections of restaurants, and events offering a taste of Okinawan culture will be held every day in the events court located in the mall.
The mall will have a total of around 220 stores, including 46 that are opening their first store in the Kyushu and Okinawa region and 70 that are opening their first store in Okinawa.
Rycom Welcome Station, covering an area of 1,600 m2, will be established. The mall will offer tourist services such as a tourism concierge and currency exchange machine to assist travelers to Japan’s leading tourist site, Okinawa.
The mall opened on the lower floors of the building complex that is directly connected to Asahikawa Station, which is being constructed as part of the Kitasaito Asahikawa project led by the Asahikawa city government. It will also contribute to the promotion of the Basic Plan for Activating the Downtown Area of Asahikawa City that has been established by the Asahikawa city government.
Besides introducing 46 local stores in Hokkaido (of which 10 stores have their head offices in Asahikawa City), the mall will distribute information on surrounding tourist facilities, sell duty-free products (some stores), and offer free Wi-Fi areas, etc. to help promote the revitalization of tourism in northern Hokkaido.
A total of 130 stores opened, including 5 that opened their very first store in Japan, 17 that opened their first store in Hokkaido, and 41 that opened their first store in Asahikawa City. Approximately half of all stores opened their first store in Asahikawa, which will revitalize the local communities and create more appeal by proposing new lifestyles to mall visitors.
< Efforts for Tourism Promotion >1. Distributes information on local attractionsThe information counter on the first floor operates in cooperation with Asahikawa’s comprehensive tourism information center (Asa Terasu). It provides information on the areas around Asahikawa Station, local tourist sites, and train and bus arrivals and departures.
2. Provides hospitality to inbound (foreign) visitorsAeon Mall Asahikawa Ekimae and 10 specialty stores sell duty-free products. The mall plans to increase the number of such stores in the future. Five-language touch-panel screens are used for the mall floor map.

Revitalization without increasing floor spaceRevitalization without increasing floor space
< Changes in Sales Made by Tenants after Mall Opening (Aeon prototype malls) >
Revitalization by increasing floor spaceRevitalization by increasing floor spaceRather than only inviting tenants to the areas where the floor space will be increased, revitalize the mall based on the same concept as opening a new mall through the dynamic rezoning of the entire mall, including the additional floor space, and the optimization of the tenant mix. While investment varies depending on the size, the criteria for investment profitability will be an investment EBITDA of 13%, the same criteria as the new mall.
Growth slows in the fourth and fifth years after opening. Large-scale renewal is implemented at the expiration of the six-year fixed-term building lease contracts of specialty stores.The large-scale revitalization of the entire mall is implemented by renewing 40% to 60% of the specialty stores through the introduction of new specialty stores and renewal and rezoning by relocating existing specialty stores. Investment in revitalization without increasing the floor space will be ¥300 million to ¥500 million, which will be recovered within several years.
The average age of Aeon Mall stores is 10.3 years, which is still young, and the value of the malls can be further increased through revitalization.

Toward the market of 20 million foreign visitors to Japan by 2020
Business in Japan: Development/Entry into New Market (Foreign Visitors)
Aeon Mall Narita was positioned as a model mall, and around 30 malls were designated as facilities for improving services for foreign visitors. The development of a stress-free environment was prioritized, and special promotions for long holidays such as the Chinese New Year were implemented by the Group as a whole.
Promotion overseas to attract visitors will be strengthened. While further developing the required environment such as multilingualservices in the existing malls, facilities and services for inbound visitors will be actively established in future new malls (Asahikawa, Okinawa Rycom, and Tokoname).
Development of environment: Began accepting the China UnionPay card, installed currency exchangers, and installed ATMs allowing cash advances using foreign-based credit cards.
Activities to provide multilingual mall guidance via touch panels, create pointer tools, and increase the number of duty-free shops.
Mall packed with tourists. Joint PR conducted with GMS. Promotion will also be carried out in cooperation with malls
in China and other countries.
Increase sales by attracting inbound visitors representing a new growth market toward 20 million foreign travelers to Japan by 2020.
2014 2015 2020
The development of an environment for the designated malls for FY2015 is completed.
It is then improved/developed into the required environment.
Advertise through overseas media and tie-ups with travel agencies. Participate in travel expos. Implement active promotion by both inviting and sending
shoppers to the malls.
A surplus is targeted from FY2016 given an increase in profit from existing malls and the number of malls owned by Aeon Malls, which are more likely to be profitable

The medium-term plan announced that operating income would be ¥300 billion and ordinary income would be ¥60 billion in FY2016 (ending February 2017). However, we have changed the mall opening plan in Japan in response to growing demand and the resulting labor shortage in the construction industry. We will therefore aim to achieve the announced performance in the next medium term.
