Alpine Global Premier Properties Fund, a closed-end management investment company organized under the laws of the state of Delaware (the "Fund" or "we"), is proposing to purchase for cash up to 21,489,143 (approximately 20%) of its issued and outstanding common shares, no par value per share, at a price per share equal to 95% of the net asset value ("NAV") per share, determined as of the close of the regular trading session of the New York Stock Exchange, the principal market on which the shares are traded, on the business day immediately following the day the offer expires (the "Pricing Date", and such price, expressed as a percentage of NAV per share, the "Purchase Price"), net to the seller in cash, less applicable withholding taxes and without interest, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the offer to purchase, dated May 17, 2012, and the related letter of transmittal (which together, as they may be amended and supplemented from time to time, constitute the "Offer"). Please furnish copies of the enclosed materials to those of your clients for whom you hold shares registered in your name or in the name of your nominee.
All shares properly tendered before the Expiration Date (as specified in Section 1 of the offer to purchase) and not properly withdrawn will be purchased by the Fund at the Purchase Price, net to the seller in cash, without interest, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, including the proration provisions thereof. All shares that the Fund does not accept for purchase because of proration will be returned at the Fund's expense to the shareholders that tendered such shares promptly after the Expiration Date.
As described in the offer to purchase, if more than 21,489,143 shares, or such greater number of shares as the Fund may elect to purchase in accordance with applicable law, are properly tendered and not properly withdrawn before the Expiration Date, then the Fund will purchase properly tendered shares tendered at the Purchase Price on a pro rata basis with appropriate rounding adjustments to avoid purchases of fractional shares, as provided in the offer to purchase.
The Offer is not conditioned on any minimum number of shares being tendered. The Offer is, however, subject to other conditions. See Section 6 of the offer to purchase.

None of the Fund, its Board of Directors, its investment adviser or the information agent makes any recommendation to any shareholder as to whether to tender or refrain from tendering all or any shares or as to the price or prices at which to tender. Holders of shares must make their own decision as to whether to tender shares and, if so, how many shares to tender and at which price or prices.
