InvenTrust Properties Corp. Announces Tax Basis of Xenia Hotels & Resorts, Inc. Distribution

As previously disclosed on February 9, 2015, InvenTrust Properties Corp. (“InvenTrust”, and formerly known as Inland American Real Estate Trust, Inc.) completed the spin-off of Xenia Hotels & Resorts, Inc. (“Xenia”) (NYSE: XHR) through the pro-rata distribution by InvenTrust of 95% of the outstanding common stock of Xenia to holders of record of InvenTrust’s common stock as of the close of business on January 20, 2015, the spin-off record date. Each holder of record of InvenTrust’s common stock received one share of Xenia’s common stock for every eight shares of InvenTrust’s common stock. In lieu of fractional shares, stockholders of InvenTrust received cash. If you were not a holder of InvenTrust common stock as of the record date for the spin-off, the following information will not be applicable to you.

Tax Basis of Distributed Xenia Common Stock

For U.S. federal income tax purposes, InvenTrust intends to report the fair market value of the distribution at $22.07 per share of Xenia common stock distributed. Accordingly, every stockholder of InvenTrust who received a share of Xenia will have a tax cost basis of $22.07 per share of Xenia. The fair market value of Xenia common stock per share of InvenTrust was approximately $2.76 as of the distribution date.

Estimated Tax Impact of Distribution on InvenTrust Stockholders

For U.S. federal income tax purposes, InvenTrust’s distributions of cash and property, including the distributed Xenia shares, are treated as taxable dividends to the extent of InvenTrust’s earnings and profits (“E&P”). The distribution of Xenia’s shares created E&P for 2015 equal to approximately $0.81 per share of InvenTrust common stock. This estimate assumes that Xenia will elect to make a “section 336(e) election” with respect to the distribution, which will provide Xenia with a high tax basis in its assets and will result in InvenTrust recognizing additional E&P. No assurance can be given that Xenia will make a section 336(e) election or that the estimate of the amount of E&P created by the distribution will prove accurate, and a stockholder should not place undue reliance on this estimate.

The taxability of the distributed shares of Xenia will be determined in the context of all InvenTrust distributions, which will not be known until early 2016.

InvenTrust’s E&P for 2015 will depend upon all of InvenTrust’s activities in 2015. As a result, the actual amount of InvenTrust’s E&P, the taxable portion of its cash and property distributions, including the distribution of Xenia shares, and the non-taxable return of capital will not be available until early 2016.

Solely for illustration purposes, if the taxability of the distribution of Xenia shares were to be determined on a standalone basis, the treatment would be estimated as follows:

Please note that the taxability of the distribution of Xenia shares will not be determined on a stand-alone basis. Regardless of the above discussion, the determination of the taxable and non-taxable portions of the distribution will not be known until early 2016.

Consult Your Tax Advisor

The information in this document represents InvenTrust’s understanding of the U.S. federal income tax laws and regulations and does not constitute tax advice. It does not purport to be complete or to describe the consequences that may apply to particular categories of stockholders. Each stockholder is urged to consult his, her, or its tax advisor as to the specific tax consequences of the distribution to such stockholder, including the effect of any state, local, or non-U.S. tax laws, and of changes in applicable tax laws.
