3.Management of Procured Funds

Setting the total acquisition price of eligible green assets as the maximum issuance amount of green bonds, the Investment Corporation manages so that, as long as there is an unredeemed balance of the relevant green bonds, the total amount of the outstanding green bonds does not exceed the total acquisition price of eligible green assets.
In addition, the Investment Corporation internally tracks and manages the allocated funds for each portfolio asset as long as there is an unredeemed balance of the relevant green bonds. In the case where all or part of the net proceeds of the green bond is not immediately allocated to eligible green assets, the Investment Corporation first identifies such unallocated funds, and then manages all or part of the funds in cash and cash equivalent until such is allocated to eligible green assets.

4.Impact Reporting
