| 8-K - 8-K - OCTOBER 2020 DISTRIBUTION - InvenTrust Properties Corp. | a8-kdist10152020.htm |
. October 15, 2020 Dear Fellow Stockholder, The InvenTrust Board and management team, since the beginning of the COVID‐19, have focused on positioning the company to successfully weather the pandemic. Some strategies employed include: protecting the health and wellbeing of our employees; working with tenants and providing relief while protecting cash flow; and assessing our corporate policies, including the dividend policy. Our dividend policy is obviously important to our shareholders. InvenTrust, throughout this crisis, has maintained the distribution rate and this commitment continues with our October distribution. Each shareholder of record as of the close of business on September 30, 2020 will receive $0.019 per share for the third quarter distribution. The ability of InvenTrust to pay the company’s dividend is a direct result of the strength and resiliency of the portfolio of assets compiled over the past few years. If you remember, the company went through a significant restructuring in 2017 through early 2019. Our portfolio of essential retail in Sun‐Belt locations is not only crucial for the company to pursue a potential liquidity event, but it also puts us in a position to endure any economic disruption, a thesis that has proven true during this pandemic. The essential nature of InvenTrust’s open‐air centers have led to a large portion of our tenants remaining open during this crisis which provides them the financial stability to pay rent. Our rent collection reflects the strength of our tenants and portfolio with 91% of tenants paying rent in September. We are very pleased with our rent collections. At these cash‐flow levels, the company is comfortable we will be able to continue to execute on our distribution strategy. As always, if you have any questions, please call 855‐377‐0510 or send an email to investorrelations@inventrustproperties.com. Sincerely, INVENTRUST PROPERTIES CORP. Thomas P.
