Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

On September 20, 2021, the board of directors (the “Board”) of InvenTrust Properties Corp. (the “Company”) authorized the Company to pursue and consummate a listing of the Company’s shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “IVT” (the “NYSE Listing”). In conjunction with the anticipated NYSE Listing and in order to provide liquidity to the stockholders of the Company and help stabilize the share price of the Company’s Common Stock after the NYSE Listing, the Company also expects to commence a modified “Dutch Auction” tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) to purchase up to $100 million shares of its outstanding Common Stock, at a price specified by tendering stockholders within a to-be-determined specified price range. In connection with the commencement of the Tender Offer, the Company expects to allow stockholders to tender all or a portion of their shares of Common Stock, but if the Tender Offer is oversubscribed, shares of Common Stock would be accepted on a pro rata basis. The Company anticipates funding the Tender Offer and all related fees and expenses with cash on the Company’s balance sheet. If the Company commences the Tender Offer, the full details will be included in an offer to purchase, letter of transmittal and related materials which will become available to stockholders promptly following commencement of the Tender Offer and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in accordance with applicable securities laws. Until such time as the Company commences the Tender Offer, there can be no assurances that the Company will in fact commence the Tender Offer or any other tender offer for the Company’s shares of Common Stock. The potential NYSE Listing and launch of the Tender Offer is expected to occur in October.

The price at which the Common Stock may list on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) may be different and could be significantly lower or higher than the Company’s estimated share value of $28.90 as of December 1, 2020 (retroactively adjusted to reflect the one-for-ten reverse stock split effective August 5, 2021), due to, among other things, the methodology used to estimate our estimated share value was based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that may not be accurate or complete. Further, different parties using different assumptions and estimates could derive a different estimated per share value, which could be significantly different from the Company’s estimated per share value. As such, the Company’s estimated per share value of $28.90 as of December 1, 2020 may not be representative of what price our shares would trade for after the Common Stock is listed on the NYSE. For a more detailed description of the valuation method and process used to estimate the per share value or the Company’s one-for-ten reverse stock split, please see the Company’s Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on December 21, 2020 and August 5, 2021, respectively.

On September 20, 2021, the Company issued a press release announcing, among other things, the Company’s intention to pursue and consummate the NYSE Listing and related Tender Offer. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

The information in this Item 7.01 disclosure, including Exhibit 99.1 is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities under that Section. In addition, the information in this Item 7.01 disclosure,

including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be incorporated by reference into the filings of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Forward Looking Statements

The statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of the Company and members of its management team, as well as the assumptions on which such statements are based, and generally are identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “seeks,” “strives,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “plans,” “potential,” “intends,” “should,” “could” or similar expressions. Such statements include, but are not limited to, statements about the Company’s intention to pursue and consummate, and the expected timing and authorization of, the NYSE Listing and related Tender Offer, the price at which the Common Stock may list and trade for on the NYSE, and the size of, and source of funds for, the Tender Offer. These forward-looking statements are based on the Company’s current objectives, beliefs and expectations, and they are subject to significant risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results and financial position and timing of certain events to differ materially from the information in the forward-looking statements. The following factors, among others, could cause actual results and financial position and timing of certain events to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements: the effects and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic; interest rate movements; local, regional, national and global economic performance; competitive factors; the impact of e-commerce on the retail industry; future retailer store closings; retailer consolidation; retailers reducing store size; retailer bankruptcies; the Company’s ability to meet and then maintain the listing requirements of the NYSE; government policy changes; and any material market changes and trends that could affect (i) the Company’s decision or ability to consummate the NYSE Listing and related Tender Offer, (ii) the size or pricing of the Tender Offer or (iii) the price at which the Common Stock may list and trade for on the NYSE. These and other risk factors are more fully discussed in the Company’s filings with the SEC. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to future operating results over time, unless required by law.

Important Information

The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K is for informational purposes only and is neither an offer to buy nor the solicitation of an offer to sell any securities of the Company. The potential tender offer described herein has not yet commenced, and there can be no assurances that the Company will commence the tender offer on the terms and conditions described herein or at all. If the Company commences the tender offer, the tender offer will be made solely by an offer to purchase, the letter of transmittal and related materials, as they may be amended or supplemented. Stockholders should read the Company’s commencement tender offer statement on Schedule TO, expected to be filed with the SEC in connection with the tender offer, which will include as exhibits the offer to purchase, the letter of transmittal and related materials, as well as any amendments or supplements to the Schedule TO when they become available, because they will contain important information related to the potential tender offer. If the Company commences the tender offer, each of these documents will be filed with the SEC, and, when available, stockholders may obtain them for free from the SEC at its website (http://www.sec.gov), or from the Company’s information agent, who will be identified in the materials filed with the SEC at the commencement of the tender offer.
