OAK BROOK, Ill., 2016-Dec-09 — /EPR Retail News/ — InvenTrust Properties Corp.

The Company has accepted for purchase 89,374,686 shares of its common stock at a purchase price of $2.66 per share, for an aggregate cost of approximately $237.7 million, excluding fees and expenses relating to the Offer. The 89,374,686 shares accepted for purchase in the Offer represent approximately 10.4% of the Company’s currently issued and outstanding shares of common stock.

In accordance with rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Company had the option to increase the number of shares accepted for payment in the Offer by up to 2% of the outstanding shares without amending or extending the Offer. InvenTrust exercised that option and increased the Offer by 14,186,716 shares or $37.7 million to avoid any proration for the stockholders tendering shares.
