On December 2, 2021, the board of directors of Inland Real Estate Income Trust, Inc. (referred to herein as “us,” ���we,” “our” or the “Company”) appointed Daniel W. Zatloukal to serve as senior vice president of the Company.
Mr. Zatloukal, who is 41 years old, serves as executive vice president and head of asset and portfolio management for all investment programs sponsored by our sponsor, Inland Real Estate Investment Corporation (“IREIC”), a position he has held since 2015. He also serves as senior vice president of Inland Private Capital Corporation (“IPC”), an affiliate of IREIC, a position he has held since 2014. IPC offers replacement properties for Section 1031 exchange transactions as well as multiple-owner real estate investment solutions and as of September 30, 2021, has sponsored 279 private placement programs and has more than $9 billion in assets under management. Mr. Zatloukal was president of Inland Investment Real Estate Services, Inc. from October 2015 through June 2017 and was responsible for overseeing all of IREIC’s real estate services group, which includes property management, leasing and asset management for commercial and residential portfolios owned or managed by IREIC and its affiliates. Prior to rejoining Inland at IPC in 2013, Mr. Zatloukal served as vice president of capital markets at Jones Lang LaSalle in Atlanta. He received his bachelor’s degree in finance from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
The appointment was not made pursuant to any arrangement or understanding with any other person. The Company does not separately compensate our executive officers for their service as officers, nor does the Company reimburse either our business manager or our real estate managers for any compensation paid to individuals who serve as executive officers of the Company or as executive officers of our business manager, our real estate managers or their affiliates (provided that, for these purposes, a corporate secretary is not considered an “executive officer”). Mr. Zatloukal does not have any direct or indirect material interest in any transaction with us or in any currently proposed transaction to which we are a participant.
