Upcoming Online Seminar on Corporate Real Estate

Property Data Bank Co., Ltd., led by President Sadahisa Takeno, is set to host a complimentary online seminar focusing on Corporate Real Estate (CRE) strategies. The event, titled "Investors are Looking at Your Company’s Real Estate: CRE Strategies in the Era of Governance Reform", will take place on August 25 and August 27, 2026, from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM (Japan Time) on both days.

Featuring Esteemed Guest Speaker

The seminar will feature Professor Takashi Yamamoto of Meiji University, a leading expert in CRE accounting and the Director of the Real Estate Research Center. His insights will cover critical aspects of how companies can reassess their real estate holdings from a capital efficiency standpoint, especially in light of rising activist investor attention and the demand for improving Price-to-Book Ratios (PBR) and Return on Invested Capital (ROIC).

The session will delve into the following key themes:

- The evolving role of CRE with the revised Corporate Governance Code.
- Empirical analysis utilizing real estate accounting data.
- Practical implications for CRE operations, including monitoring, disclosure, and the interplay of human resources, data, and governance.

This two-part seminar structure is designed to provide participants with both theoretical insights and practical solutions:

- Part 1: Keynote Address on Governance Reform and CRE Strategies

- Professor Takashi Yamamoto will discuss changes brought about by the governance code revisions.

- Part 2: Solutions Introduction

- Presented by Tomoharu Hanada, Project Promotion Department Manager at Property Data Bank, offering effective strategies for managing income-generating properties.
