4 Market Average spending for corporate benefits has been increasing, even during recessions. Corporate fringe benefit has become one of the essential factors in Japan to recruit and retain employees. After the Japanese financial reforms of the 1990s, corporations promoted the disposal of idle assets, increasing demand for outsourcing. Recent intense global competition has forced Japanese companies to be leaner, further accelerating the outsourcing of non-core operations.

5 Business segments and services We provide comprehensive outsourcing services for corporate fringe benefits How can I make good use of my vacant house, while temporarily transferred? In 1984, we have launched the first relocation house rental management service in Japan to solve this issue, which a large number of Japanese transferees were facing. In the process of expanding the business of helping transferred employees, we built a broad network with HR and Admin departments. Over the years, we have learned about the challenges, gaps and inefficiencies in corporate fringe benefits that companies face. Since then, Relo has expanded its businesses as a solution provider for Corporate Japan.

6 Business segments Domestic Business (Relocation) The Domestic Business Segment provides outsourcing services specializing in the housing field of corporate fringe benefits, e.g. corporate housing and dormitories. Offering corporate houses to employees has been common among Japanese corporations and considered a necessary ingredient of employee benefits today for tax and other reasons. However, time-consuming operation of corporate housing is a heavy burden for these companies. Reliance, a full-service outsourcing service that helps to manage corporate housing leases, and Relo-Net, an employee transfer support system that helps clients save time and money in finding their residences and moving, are just two examples of our popular solutions that lighten the burden and increase productivity. We also provide property management and brokerage service in areas where demand for corporate housing is high. This broad array of services meets various needs and helps clients optimize their operations. 6

7 Business segments Domestic Business (Fringe Benefit) The Domestic Business Segment also provides outsourcing service specializing in the leisure and living support categories of corporate fringe benefits. Demand for offering living support menus, including child care, medical checkup, gym, education etc. as a part of fringe benefit is becoming quite high as well as leisure houses and facilities which large corporations in Japan has been offering to employees traditionally for decades. Fringe benefit has been an essential part of compensation system, while it is expected to be more cost effective. A fringe benefit membership club, Relo Club provides various fringe benefits (resort hotels, gyms, leisure facilities, child care services, etc.) and services (booking, customer care, etc.), helping member companies to increase employee satisfaction and also save time and money. Using the extensive network with the service providers that Relo Club has accumulated over the years. We also provide a loyalty program, Club Off Alliance, to client companies that enables individual members to enjoy discounts on more than 200,000 qualified leisure and living support menus. 7

8 Business segments Global Business The Global Business Segment provides broad relocation services assisting both companies and employees with overseas assignments and transfers. The Relo Group started the relocation house rental management service, a specialized rental property management service for vacated houses which transferred employees leave, in 1984 as our first business in the relocation business field. In the decades since then, it has grown into an integrated relocation service. Our integrated solutions include relocation policy development and review, web-based implementation processes management, visa application and international moving arrangement. Our overseas operations, including serviced apartments, brokerage services and more, also ensure smooth transitions.

9 Our services Reliance (Leased corporate housing management) One of our core services, Reliance is a leased corporate housing management outsourcing service launched in The financial crisis of the 1990s drove a large number of Japanese corporations to sell off corporate owned housing & dormitories and replace them with a new system called kariage-shataku, in which companies rent apartments for their employees under the company name. Managing these rental apartments entails considerable cost and effort for the company (examples of what is involved are listed below). Reliance eliminates the burden of managing rented corporate housings. Outsourcing the operation and replacing the contracts allow companies to minimize the workload and focus on their core businesses.
