Exhibit 99.1

November 22, 2017

Dear Stockholder,

In our continuing efforts to create value for stockholders, the Inland Real Estate Income Trust, Inc. (the Company) Board of Directors (the Board) and the management team are exploring potential strategies to better position the Company for future growth and enhanced stockholder value. As such, on November 17, 2017, the Board approved the following strategic initiatives:

1 Share for 2.5 Shares Reverse Stock Split

A company typically performs a reverse stock split to make it more attractive to institutional and other larger investors. This reverse stock split does not affect a stockholder’s total account value, just the amount of shares owned and the per share value. Every 2.5 shares will be converted into one share. For example, if you own 1,000 shares, they will be converted to 400 shares in this reverse stock split, thereby increasing the value of each share. The reverse stock split is expected to take effect in January 2018 and will be reflected on a statement to each stockholder.

Move to Quarterly Distributions

Effective January 1, 2018, distributions declared will be paid quarterly. Moving to a quarterly distribution schedule is typical of publicly traded companies and reduces processing and mailing costs. For the remainder of 2017, however, distributions will continue to be paid monthly, with the last monthly distribution to be paid in January 2018. Thereafter, the Company expects that the Board will choose a record date of the last business day of each calendar quarter, with the first quarterly distribution to be declared in March 2018 and payable in April 2018. Likewise, for the remainder of 2018, the Company expects that the Board will declare the second quarterly distribution in June, payable in July, the third quarterly distribution in September, payable in October, and the fourth quarterly distribution in December, payable in January 2019. As a result of the move to quarterly distributions, share repurchases pursuant to the Company’s share repurchase plan after January 1, 2018 will also be effected on a quarterly basis.

Stockholders who have elected to participate in the Company’s Amended and Restated Distribution Reinvestment Plan will continue to have their cash distributions reinvested to purchase additional shares, but on a quarterly basis, which is more typical of traded stock, beginning with the first quarter 2018 distribution declared.

Engagement of Investment Banking Firm

The Company intends to engage an investment bank to assist it in exploring and evaluating potential strategies to better position the Company for future growth and enhanced stockholder value. There can be no assurances that this process will result in any change in strategy or any specific transaction being announced or completed.

Creating Value for the Benefit of Stockholders

The Company’s Board and management are focused on creating maximum value for the benefit of stockholders and believe these actions will better position the Company as we evaluate future potential strategies. As a sponsor and related entities with a 49-year history, stockholders have become dependent on our track record of integrity and expertise.
