Dear Shareholder:

We have previously sent to you proxy material for the upcoming special meeting of shareholders of Weingarten Realty Investors in connection with the proposed merger with Kimco Realty Corporation.  Your board of trust managers unanimously recommends that shareholders vote FOR the three proposals on the agenda.

Since the WRI Merger Proposal requires approval by two-thirds of the outstanding shares, your vote is important, no matter how many or how few shares you may own.  If you have not already done so, please vote TODAY by telephone, via the Internet, or by signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided.  If you received this letter by email, you may also simply press the “VOTE NOW” button in the accompanying email.

Thank you for your participation.

Very truly yours,
