PROXY MATERIALS AND ANNUAL MEETING

Information About the Proxy Materials

The board of directors of InvenTrust Properties Corp., a Maryland corporation (referred to herein as the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”), is furnishing the enclosed Notice of Annual Meeting, proxy statement and proxy card to you, and to all stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 9, 2018, because the board is soliciting your proxy to vote at the Company’s 2018 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”), and at any postponements or adjournments thereof.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has adopted rules permitting the electronic delivery of proxy materials. In accordance with those rules, we are primarily furnishing proxy materials to our stockholders via the Internet, rather than mailing paper copies of the materials. Internet distribution of the proxy materials is designed to expedite receipt by stockholders and lower costs of the Annual Meeting. Beginning on or about March 19, 2018,we will mail a Notice of Annual Meeting and Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice”) to our stockholders as of the close of business on March 9, 2018, which contained instructions on how to access and review proxy materials, including our proxy statement and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, and how to submit proxies via the Internet or by telephone. If you received a Notice but would like to submit your proxy by mail or request paper copies of our proxy materials going forward, you may still do so by following the instructions described in the Notice.

Choosing to receive your proxy materials over the Internet will help reduce the costs associated with the printing and mailing of the proxy materials to you. Unless you affirmatively elect to receive paper copies of our proxy materials in the future by following the instructions included in the Notice, you will continue to receive a Notice directing you to a website for electronic access to our proxy materials.

On or about March 19, 2018,we also began mailing a full set of proxy materials to certain stockholders who previously requested a paper copy of the proxy materials.

If you own shares of common stock in more than one account, such as individually or jointly with your spouse, you may receive more than one Notice or set of these materials. Please make sure to authorize a proxy to vote all of your shares.

Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials

Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials for the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be Held on May 9, 2018. This proxy statement, the proxy card and our annual report on Form 10-K to stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2017 are available at www.proxyvote.com.

Information About the Annual Meeting

The Annual Meeting will be held on May 9, 2018, beginning at 9:00 a.m., Central Time, at Chicago Marriott Oak Brook, 1401 West 22^nd Street, Oak Brook, IL 60523. We welcome your attendance at the meeting. Please note that only stockholders as of March 9, 2018 (the record date) or the holders of their valid proxies will be permitted to attend. If you plan to attend the meeting in person, please bring:

1

• a valid governmental-issued picture identification, such as a driver’s license or a passport, which is required before being admitted to the meeting; and

• if you hold shares through a broker or nominee (i.e., in “street name” as further described below under the heading “Information about Voting – Beneficial Owners”), proof of your beneficial ownership as of March 9, 2018, such as a brokerage statement showing your ownership as of that date or a “legal proxy” authorizing you to vote such shares; and

• if you are a representative of a corporate or institutional stockholder, proof that you are a representative of such stockholder.

Please contact Mr. Dan Lombardo, Investor Relations, at 630-570-0605 with any questions you have about attending the meeting, including requests for directions or other guidelines regarding admission to the meeting.

Information About Voting

Your presence in person or by proxy is needed to ensure that the proposals can be acted upon. We are a widely held company, and no large affiliated groups of stockholders own substantial blocks of our shares. As a result, a large number of our stockholders must be present in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting in order for us to obtain a quorum. THEREFORE, YOUR PRESENCE IN PERSON OR BY PROXY IS VERY IMPORTANT, EVEN IF YOU OWN A SMALL NUMBER OF SHARES. Your immediate response will save us significant additional expense associated with soliciting stockholder votes and will help avoid potential delays and prevent repeated calls to you from our proxy solicitors.

You will have one vote for each share of common stock that you owned at the close of business on March 9, 2018, which is the record date for the Annual Meeting. As of March 9, 2018, there were 774,311,254 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote. There is no cumulative voting.

Record Holders

If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, DST Systems, Inc., you are, with respect to those shares, the stockholder of record or record holder. Record holders may vote in person at the Annual Meeting or by granting us a proxy to vote on each of the proposals. You may authorize a proxy to vote your shares in any of the following ways:

• by mail: if you received a hard copy proxy card, you may complete and return it as instructed on the proxy card. If you received a Notice, you may request a proxy card at any time by following the instructions on the Notice. You may then complete the proxy card and return it by mail as instructed on the proxy card;

• via telephone: dial 1-800-690-6903 any time prior to 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on May 8, 2018, and with your Notice in hand follow the instructions; or

• via the Internet: go to www.proxyvote.com any time prior to 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on May 8, 2018, and with your Notice in hand follow the instructions to obtain your records and to create an electronic voting instruction form.

If you are a record holder and grant a proxy, you may nevertheless revoke your proxy at any time before it is exercised by: (1) sending written notice to us, 3025 Highland Parkway, Suite 350, Downers Grove, Illinois 60515, Attention: Corporate Secretary; (2) providing us with a properly executed, later-dated proxy; or (3) attending the Annual Meeting in person and voting your shares. Merely attending the Annual Meeting, without further action, will not revoke your proxy.

Beneficial Owners

If your shares are held in a brokerage account or by another nominee, you are the beneficial owner of shares held in street name, and the Notice (or in some cases, a full set of proxy materials) is being forwarded to you automatically, along with instructions from your broker, bank or other nominee. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other nominee how to vote and are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting. Your broker, bank or other nominee has provided voting instructions for you to use in directing how to vote your shares. If you do not provide specific voting instructions by the deadline set forth in the materials you receive from your broker, bank or other nominee, your broker, bank or other nominee can vote your shares with respect to “discretionary” items, but not with respect to “non-discretionary”

2

items. See “Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes” below for more information about broker non-votes. Beneficial owners who desire to revoke a previously submitted proxy should contact their bank or broker for instructions.

Since a beneficial owner is not the stockholder of record, you may not vote these shares in person at the meeting unless you obtain a “legal proxy” from the broker, bank or other nominee that holds your shares, giving you the right to vote the shares at the meeting. Please contact your broker, bank or other nominee for information about obtaining a legal proxy.

Information Regarding Tabulation of the Vote

Broadridge Investor Communication Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”) or its designee will act as the inspector of election and will count the votes.

Information About Items to be Voted on and Vote Necessary for Action to be Taken

At the Annual Meeting, stockholders will act upon the following matters, and such other matters as may properly come before the Annual Meeting or any postponement or adjournment thereof:

Proposal No. 1: Election of seven directors, to hold office until the next annual meeting and until their successors are duly elected and qualify. A plurality of all the votes cast at the Annual Meeting shall be sufficient to elect a director. Each share may be voted for as many individuals as there are directors to be elected and for whose election the holder is entitled to vote. The board of directors unanimously recommends a vote FOR each of the nominees for director.

Proposal No. 2: Ratification of the selection of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2018. A majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting shall be sufficient to approve Proposal No. 2. The board of directors unanimously recommends a vote FOR the approval of the ratification of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2018.

Proposal No. 3: Approval, on a non-binding advisory basis, of a resolution approving the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this proxy statement pursuant to the SEC’s compensation disclosure rules (“say on pay”). A majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting shall be sufficient to approve Proposal No. 3. The board of directors unanimously recommends a vote FOR the approval on a non-binding, advisory basis, of a resolution approving the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed herein pursuant to the SEC’s compensation disclosure rules.

If you return your proxy but do not indicate how your shares should be voted, they will be voted "FOR" each director in Proposal No. 1, "FOR" Proposal No. 2. and “FOR proposal No.3.

Quorum Requirement

The presence in person or by proxy of stockholders entitled to cast a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast at the Annual Meeting on any matter shall constitute a quorum. There must be a quorum present in order for us to conduct business at the Annual Meeting.

Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes

An “abstain” vote with respect to any proposal to be voted on at the Annual Meeting is considered present and entitled to vote with respect to that proposal, but is not considered a vote cast with respect to that proposal. Therefore, an abstention will not have any effect on the outcome of the vote on any proposals, but will be considered present for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum.

A “broker non-vote” occurs if your shares are not registered in your name and you do not provide the record holder of your shares (usually a bank, broker, or other nominee) with voting instructions on a matter and the record holder is not permitted to vote on the matter without instructions from you under applicable rules of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). The election of directors (Proposal No. 1) and say-on-pay (Proposal No. 3), is considered a “non-discretionary” item, so if you do not provide instructions to the holder of record, your shares will be treated as broker non-votes. The ratification of appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm (Proposal No. 2) is a “discretionary” or routine item under NYSE rules. As a result, the shares for which instruction are not provided to the holder of record will not be treated as broker non-votes and brokers who do not receive instructions as to how to vote on this matter generally may vote on this matter in their discretion. A broker non-vote is considered present for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists, but is not considered a “vote cast” with respect to such matter. Because the election of directors (Proposal No. 1) requires a plurality of

3

all the votes cast at the Annual Meeting, broker non-votes will not have any effect on the election of directors. Because the say on pay vote (Proposal No. 3) requires a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting, broker non-votes will not have any effect on the outcome of the vote on those proposals.

Costs of Soliciting Proxies

We will bear all costs and expenses incurred in connection with soliciting proxies. Our directors and executive officers may solicit proxies by mail, personal contact, letter, telephone, facsimile or other electronic means. These individuals will not receive any additional compensation for these activities, but may be reimbursed by us for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. In addition, Broadridge will solicit proxies on our behalf. We will pay Broadridge fees that we expect will not exceed $150,000 and any out-of-pocket expenses for soliciting proxies.

Other Matters

At this time, no other matters are being presented for your consideration at the Annual Meeting. Generally, no business aside from the items discussed in this proxy statement may be transacted at the meeting. If, however, any other matter properly comes before the Annual Meeting as determined by the chairperson of the meeting, your proxies are authorized to act on the proposal at their discretion.

Householding

Only one Notice or copy of this proxy statement and the 2017 annual report on Form 10-K have been sent to certain stockholders who share a single address, unless any stockholder residing at that address has given contrary instructions. This procedure, referred to as householding, reduces the volume of duplicate information stockholders receive and reduces mailing and printing costs. Additional copies of this proxy statement or our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 will be furnished to you, without charge, by writing us at: c/o InvenTrust Properties Corp., 3025 Highland Parkway, Suite 350, Downers Grove, Illinois 60515, Attention: Investor Relations, or by telephoning us, toll free, at (855) 377-0510. If you share an address with another stockholder and the two of you would like to receive only a single set of our annual disclosure documents, please contact us by writing us at: c/o InvenTrust Properties Corp., 3025 Highland Parkway, Suite 350, Downers Grove, Illinois 60515, Attention: Investor Relations, or by telephoning us, toll free, at (855) 377-0510, or, if a bank, broker or other nominee holds your shares, please contact your bank, broker or other nominee directly.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRINCIPLES

Director Independence

Our business is managed under the direction and oversight of our board. The members of our board are Paula J. Saban, our interim chairperson, Stuart Aitken, Thomas F. Glavin, Thomas P. McGuinness, Scott A. Nelson, Michael A. Stein and Julian E. Whitehurst. As required by our charter, a majority of our directors must be “independent.” As defined by our charter, an “independent director” means any director who qualifies as an “independent director” under the provisions of the NYSE Listed Company Manual in effect from time to time. The NYSE standards provide that to qualify as an independent director, in addition to satisfying certain bright-line criteria, the board of directors must affirmatively determine that a director has no material relationship with the Company (either directly or as a partner, stockholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the Company).

Consistent with these considerations, after reviewing all relevant transactions or relationships between each director, or any of his or her family members, and the Company, our management and our independent registered public accounting firm, and considering each director’s direct and indirect association with the Company and its management, the board has determined that Ms. Saban and Messrs. Aitken, Glavin, Nelson, Stein and Whitehurst qualify as independent directors.

Board Leadership Structure and Risk Oversight

Mr. McGuinness, in his role as our president and chief executive officer, is responsible for managing the strategic direction and for providing the day-to-day leadership of the Company. Ms. Saban, in her role as our interim chairperson of the board, organizes the work of the board and ensures that the board has access to sufficient information to carry out its functions, including monitoring the Company’s performance. Ms. Saban presides over meetings of the board and stockholders, establishes the agenda for each meeting and oversees the distribution of information to directors. We have separated the roles of the president and chairperson of the board in recognition of the differences between the two roles. Our board believes the current structure is appropriate and effective.

4

To ensure free and open discussion and communication among the non-management directors of our board of directors, the non-management directors will meet periodically in private session with no members of management present. Ms. Saban, as our interim chairperson, presides at these sessions.

Our board oversees the business and affairs of our Company, including its long-term health, overall success and financial strength. The full board is actively involved in overseeing risk management for the Company. Our board oversees risk through the: (1) review and discussion of regular periodic reports to the board and its committees, including management reports, leasing activity and property operating data, as well as actual and projected financial results, the corporate model and outputs, and various other matters relating to our business; (2) required approval by the board of certain transactions, including, among others, acquisitions and dispositions of properties exceeding certain dollar amounts and financings exceeding certain dollar amounts, as set forth in investment policies adopted by the board; (3) oversight of risk associated with the various elements of compensation by the compensation committee; (4) oversight of risk policies and management as well as major financial risk exposures and steps taken to monitor and control such risks by the audit committee; and (5) review of regular periodic reports from our independent public accounting firm, third-party internal audit firm and other outside consultants regarding various areas of potential risk, including, among others, those relating to the qualification of the Company as a REIT for tax purposes and our internal control over financial reporting.

Communicating with Directors

Pursuant to our Corporate Governance Guidelines, defined and discussed below under the heading “Corporate Governance Guidelines,” anyone who would like to communicate with, or otherwise make his or her concerns known directly to the chairperson of our board of directors, the chairperson of any of the audit, nominating and corporate governance, compensation and executive committees, or to the non-management or independent directors as a group, may do so by (1) addressing such communications or concerns to the Secretary of the Company, InvenTrust Properties Corp., 3025 Highland Parkway, Suite 350, Downers Grove, Illinois 60515, who will forward such communications to the appropriate party, or (2) sending any emails to StockholderCommunications@inventrustproperties.com. Such communications may be done confidentially or anonymously.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

Our nominating and corporate governance committee is comprised of Messrs. Glavin and Stein, with Mr. Glavin serving as chairperson.

Each of the current members of the nominating and corporate governance committee is independent, as defined by the rules of the NYSE and the rules and regulations of the SEC. The nominating and corporate governance committee is responsible for, among other things:

• identifying individuals qualified to become members of our board of directors, including conducting inquiries into the background and qualifications of any candidate, and recommending and nominating candidates for election to the board at annual meetings of stockholders;

• reviewing the committee structure of the board of directors and recommending directors to serve as members of each committee of the board of directors;

• developing and recommending to the board of directors a set of corporate governance guidelines and code of ethics and, from time to time, reviewing such guidelines and code and recommending changes to the board of directors for approval as necessary; and

• overseeing the annual self-evaluation of the board of directors.

Our board of directors has adopted a written charter for our nominating and corporate governance committee, which is available on our website at www.inventrustproperties.com through the “Investor Relations – Corporate Governance – Board Committees and Charters” tab. In addition, a printed copy of the charter is available to any stockholder without charge by writing us at InvenTrust Properties Corp., 3025 Highland Parkway, Suite 350, Downers Grove, Illinois 60515, Attention: Investor Relations.

Selection of Director Nominees

5

The nominating and corporate governance committee is responsible for reviewing the qualifications of potential director candidates and recommending those candidates to be nominated for election to the board of directors. The nominating and corporate governance committee considers relevant experience, skills and knowledge as well as individual qualifications, including personal and professional integrity, ethics and values; commitments to other businesses; independence, including absence of any personal or professional conflicts of interest; corporate governance experience; financial and accounting background; experience in our industry or familiarity with the issues affecting our business; diversity (including age, gender and ethnic and racial background, viewpoint and experience); academic expertise in an area of our operations; practical and mature business judgment, including ability to make independent analytical inquiries and the extent to which the interplay of the candidate’s skills, knowledge and experience with that of other board members will build a board that is effective, collegial and responsive to the needs of the Company.

The nominating and corporate governance committee screens all potential candidates in the same manner, regardless of the source of the recommendation. The review is expected to be based on any written materials provided with respect to potential candidates, and the nominating and corporate governance committee will review the materials to determine the qualifications, experience and background of the candidates. Final candidates are expected to be interviewed by one or more members of the nominating and corporate governance committee. During 2017, the nominating and corporate governance committee retained a search firm to assist in identifying and evaluating potential director candidates and may do so in the future.

The nominating and corporate governance committee will consider director candidates recommended by stockholders for our 2019 annual meeting of stockholders. Any such recommendations must be submitted in accordance with the procedures specified in Section 9 of Article II of our bylaws. Generally, this requires that the stockholder send certain information about the candidate to our secretary not later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the 120th day and not earlier than the 150th day prior to the first anniversary of the date of the proxy statement for the preceding year’s annual meeting. For our annual meeting to be held in 2019, a stockholder must provide written notice of a candidate recommendation not earlier than October 10, 2018 and not later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on November 9, 2018, to our corporate secretary, c/o InvenTrust Properties Corp., 3025 Highland Parkway, Suite 350, Downers Grove, Illinois 60515. The notice must identify the author as a stockholder, provide a brief summary of the candidate’s qualifications and include the information required by our bylaws for advance notice of stockholder nominees for director. If the shares of our common stock held by the stockholder making the recommendation are held in “street name,” notices should also attach proof of ownership of InvenTrust common stock as of the date of the notice. At a minimum, candidates recommended for nomination to the board of directors must meet the director independence standards of the NYSE.

Audit Committee

Our audit committee is comprised of three independent directors, Messrs. Glavin, Nelson and Stein was established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The board has determined that Mr. Glavin, the chairperson of the committee, and Mr. Stein each qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert,” as such term is defined by the applicable SEC regulations, and that each member of the committee is independent, as defined by the rules of the NYSE and the rules and regulations of the SEC, including the heightened independence standards applicable to audit committee members. The audit committee assists the board in fulfilling its oversight responsibility relating to:

• the integrity of our financial statements;

• our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements;

• the qualifications and independence of the independent registered public accounting firm; and

• the performance of our internal audit function and independent auditors.

The audit committee is also responsible for, among other things:

• appointing, evaluating, compensating, and overseeing an independent registered public accounting firm, approving services that may be provided by the independent registered public accounting firm, including audit and non-audit services, reviewing the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm and reviewing the adequacy of the auditing firm’s internal quality control procedures;

6

• preparing the audit committee report required by SEC regulations to be included in our annual report and proxy statement;

• reviewing and discussing our annual and quarterly financial statements with management and the independent auditor;

• engagement, evaluation and compensation of the internal auditor and the adequacy of the Company’s internal audit function;

• discussing the our guidelines and policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management, and our major financial risk exposures and the steps management takes to monitor and control such exposures;

• considering and discussing procedures in place to enforce our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct, and, if appropriate, granting any requested waivers;

• reviewing and approving procedures for receiving, retaining and treating complaints received by the Company regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters; and

• reviewing related party transactions pursuant to our written policy described below under “Related Party Transaction Policy and Procedures.”

The audit committee charter is available on our website at www.inventrustproperties.com through the “Investor Relations – Corporate Governance – Board Committees and Charters” tab. In addition, a printed copy of the charter is available to any stockholder without charge by writing us at InvenTrust Properties Corp., 3025 Highland Parkway, Suite 350, Downers Grove, Illinois 60515, Attention: Investor Relations.

Compensation Committee

Our compensation committee is comprised of Ms. Saban and Mr. Whitehurst, with Ms. Saban as chairperson.

The compensation committee has sole responsibility for determining the compensation that we pay to our chief executive officer (or its equivalent), and is responsible for approving the compensation for our other named executive officers. Each member of the committee is independent and meets the additional standards for the independence of compensation committee members set forth in Section 303A.02 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, and each is a “non-employee director,” as defined by Section 16 of the Exchange Act, and an “outside director,” as defined by Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (as amended, the “Code”).

Consistent with the requirements of Rule 10C-1 of the Exchange Act and any other applicable listing requirements and rules and regulations of the NYSE, the committee has the sole and exclusive authority, as it deems appropriate, to retain and/or replace, as needed, any independent counsel, compensation and benefits consultants and other outside experts or advisors as the committee believes to be necessary or appropriate (the “compensation advisors”), and has the direct responsibility to compensate and oversee any and all compensation advisors. The committee has the authority to also utilize the services of the Company’s regular legal counsel or other advisors to the Company. The Company shall provide for appropriate funding, as determined by the committee in its sole discretion, for payment of compensation to any such persons retained by the committee.

In fulfilling its responsibilities, the committee is entitled to delegate any or all of its responsibilities to a subcommittee of the committee, except that it may not delegate its responsibilities for any matters that involve executive compensation or any matters where it has determined such compensation is intended to comply with Section 162(m) of the Code by virtue of being approved by a committee of “outside directors” or is intended to be exempt from Section 16(b) under the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 16b-3 by virtue of being approved by a committee of “nonemployee directors.”

Our president and chief executive officer may make, and the committee may consider, recommendations to the committee regarding our compensation and employee benefit plans and practices, including our executive compensation plans, our incentive-compensation and equity-based plans with respect to executive officers other than the president and chief executive officer and our director compensation arrangements.

Director Compensation

Cash Compensation

Under our Director Compensation Program, which was effective until April 30, 2017 (the “Director Compensation Program”) each non-employee director was entitled to receive an annual cash retainer of $65,000. No meeting fees were paid to our non-employee directors for attending individual board or committee meetings. In addition, committee members and chairpersons and our non-executive chairperson received the following additional annual cash retainers (as applicable):

• Chair of Audit Committee: $23,000

• Chair of Compensation Committee: $17,500

• Chair of Nominating and Governance Committee: $12,000

• Non-Chair Audit Committee Member: $10,000

• Non-Chair Compensation Committee Member: $7,500

• Non-Chair Nominating and Governance Committee Member: $5,000

• Non-Executive Chairperson: $30,000

On February 16, 2017, our board established an executive committee and approved an annual cash retainer of $15,000 for the chair and $6,000 for each non-chair member of such committee. The board subsequently adopted a revised Director Compensation Program, effective as of May 1, 2017 (the “Revised Director Compensation Program”), which superseded the Director Compensation Program. The Revised Director Compensation Program provides for the same cash compensation as the cash compensation paid pursuant to the Director Compensation Program, except that it includes the annual retainer payable to the chair and each non-chair member of the executive committee discussed above, and updated the title of the Interim Non-Executive Chairman to Non-Executive Chairman.

Equity Compensation

In addition to the cash retainers, under the Director Compensation Program each non-employee director was entitled to an annual award of restricted stock units ("RSUs") valued at $110,000, which vested in full on the date of the first annual meeting of our stockholders following the director’s election or re-election, as applicable, subject to the director’s continued service on the vesting date. Under the Revised Director Compensation Program, the vesting of the RSU awards was revised such that each award vests on the earlier of (i) the date of the next annual meeting of our stockholders following the grant date or (ii) the first anniversary of the grant date, subject to the director’s continued service on the vesting date.

On May 1, 2017, each non-employee director in service on such date received an award of 33,435 RSUs as well as a partial RSU award which vested on June 1, 2017 in the amount of 13,932 RSUs, valued at $45,833.33. The partial RSU award was granted to each director as a result of a change in our annual meeting date. The number of RSUs subject to each RSU award granted to a non-employee director in 2017 was calculated based on the most recent estimated value per share of our common stock at the time of the grant, which was as of May 1, 2017. Each of the outstanding RSU awards held by our current directors is scheduled to vest in full on the date of the Annual Meeting, subject to the director’s continued service through the vesting date. Each award generally settles partly in shares of our common stock (75%) and partly in cash

11

(25%), but directors may elect to have their awards settled in up to 55% cash. In connection with his resignation from the board, the vesting of Mr. Borden’s 2017 RSU award vested effective as of November 9, 2017, the day of his resignation from the board.

Business Expenses

Pursuant to the terms of the Director Compensation Program, the Revised Director Compensation Program and our standard expense reimbursement policy, we reimburse each non-employee director for reasonable business expenses incurred by the director in connection with his or her services to us.

None of our executive officers served as a member of (i) the compensation committee of another entity in which one of the executive officers of such entity served on our compensation committee or (ii) the compensation committee of another entity in which one of the executive officers of such entity served as a member of our board.

Director Meetings Attendance

During the year ended December 31, 2017, our board met six times. Each of our directors attended at least 75% of the aggregate amount of the meetings of the board and any committee on which he or she served in 2017.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

12

This section discusses the principles underlying our policies and decisions with respect to the compensation of our executive officers who are named in the “Summary Compensation Table” below and the principal factors relevant to an analysis of these policies and decisions. In 2017, our “named executive officers” (“NEOs”) and their positions were as follows:

• Thomas P. McGuinness, President and Chief Executive Officer;

• Michael E. Podboy, Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Investment Officer and Treasurer; and

• David F. Collins, Executive Vice President, Portfolio Management.

Mr. Collins resigned from his position as an executive officer and all other employee and officer positions that he held with the Company and its subsidiaries effective December 31, 2017. In connection with Mr. Collins’ resignation, the Company and Mr. Collins entered into a Separation and Consulting Agreement, as more fully described below under the caption “Separation and Consulting Agreement with Mr. Collins.”

This section provides an overview of our executive compensation philosophy, the overall objectives of our executive compensation program and each compensation component that we provided in 2017. Each of the key elements of our executive compensation program is discussed in more detail below. The following discussion and analysis of compensation arrangements of our NEOs should be read together with the compensation tables and related disclosures set forth below.

Our executive compensation program is designed to provide a total compensation package intended to align executive compensation with the Company’s performance and with stockholder interests, and to attract, motivate and retain talented and experienced executive officers through competitive compensation arrangements.

At our annual meeting of stockholders on December 15, 2015 (the “2015 Annual Meeting”), we provided our stockholders with an advisory vote to approve the compensation of our NEOs (the “say-on-pay proposal”). At the 2015 Annual Meeting, our stockholders approved, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our NEOs, with over 78% of the votes cast in favor of the say-on-pay proposal. Our board and our compensation committee believe this affirms the stockholders’ support of our approach to executive compensation, and did not make any significant changes to our approach in 2016 or 2017. Our board and our compensation committee will continue to consider the outcome of our say-on-pay votes when making future compensation decisions for the NEOs. In addition, when determining how often to hold future say-on-pay proposal votes to approve the compensation of our NEOs, our board and our compensation committee took into account the preference for a triennial vote expressed by our stockholders at the 2015 Annual Meeting, with over 71% of the votes cast in favor. Accordingly, our board and our compensation committee determined that we will hold a say-on-pay proposal vote to approve the compensation of our NEOs every three years. We are conducting a say-on-pay advisory vote at our 2018 Annual Meeting. See Proposal No. 3 below.

Executive Summary

Summary of 2017 Financial and Operational Results

For the year ended December 31, 2017, we completed $877.5 million in real estate transactions as we continued to execute on our strategy to enhance our multi-tenant retail platform.

• Acquired Retail Properties in Target Markets and Improved Quality ofPortfolio. We acquired eight multi- tenant open-air retail properties in key growth markets with favorable demographics and expected above-average net operating income growth for an aggregate gross acquisition price of approximately $633.4 million. In addition, we increased average base rent per square foot for wholly-owned retail properties 4.7% and for wholly-owned and IAGM Retail Fund I, LLC ("IAGM") joint venture owned properties 3.9% from the prior year period. IAGM is a joint venture partnership between the Company and PGGM Private Real Estate Fund. See Annex A for a description of average base rent per square foot.

• Demonstrated Strong Balance Sheet Management. In 2017, we repaid or extinguished approximately $104.0 million of outstanding debt, which was offset by the assumption of mortgage debt of $41.7 million related to the purchase of one property.

• Disposed of Properties. We completed the disposition of seven retail properties, one non-core property, and two single-user outparcels during the period for an aggregate gross disposition price of $244.0 million. The

13

properties that we disposed of were generally in markets that are low growth, lack sufficient asset concentration, and do not provide a favorable opportunity to build significant asset concentration.

In addition, for the year ended December 31, 2017, we achieved net income of $61.793 million and funds from operations ("FFO") (a non-generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) (“non-GAAP”) financial measure) of $167.667 million. FFO, which is based on the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) definition, is net income (loss) in accordance with GAAP excluding gains (or losses) resulting from dispositions of properties, plus depreciation and amortization and impairment charges on depreciable property, after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures in which we hold an interest, and extraordinary items. For more information regarding FFO, why management believes it is useful for investors and a reconciliation of FFO to net income, please see “Item 6. Selected Financial Data” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

During the year ended December 31, 2017, we increased our dividend distribution by 3%. Our stockholders received total dividends of $0.0690 per share on an annualized basis, which includes a quarterly distribution of $0.016875 per share paid in January 2017, and quarterly distribution of $0.017375 per share paid in each of April, July and October 2017.

Consistent with our compensation philosophy to pay for performance, the annual cash bonuses of our NEOs for 2017 were tied to quantitative and qualitative performance metrics. See “Compensation Discussion and Analysis - Elements of Executive Compensation - Annual Cash Bonuses” for a detailed discussion of our annual bonus programs and related performance metrics.

Compensation Elements

Our executive compensation program for 2017 consisted of the following elements: base salary, annual cash bonus, equity-based long-term incentive awards, retirement benefits and health/welfare benefits. Each of these elements taken separately, as well as each of these elements taken as a whole, was necessary to support our overall compensation objectives. The following table sets forth the key elements of our NEOs compensation for 2017, along with the primary objective associated with each element of compensation.

Compensation Element	Primary Objective
Base salary	To compensate ongoing performance of job responsibilities and provide a fixed minimum income level as a necessary tool in attracting and retaining executives.
Annual cash bonus	To incentivize the attainment of annual financial, operational and personal objectives and individual contributions to the achievement of those objectives.
Long-term equity incentive compensation	To provide incentives that are linked directly to increases in the value of the Company as a result of the execution of our long-term plans.
Retirement savings - 401(k) plan	To provide retirement savings in a tax-efficient manner.
Health and welfare benefits	To provide typical protections from health, dental, death and disability risks.

The compensation committee believes that executive compensation should reflect the value created for our stockholders, while supporting our operational goals and long-term business plans and strategies. In addition, the compensation committee believes that such compensation should assist us in attracting and retaining key executives critical to our long-term success.

Good Governance and Best Practices

With respect to our executive compensation program, we are committed to staying apprised of current issues, emerging trends, and best practices. To this end, when considering executive officer compensation packages for 2017, our compensation committee worked with our independent compensation consultant, Exequity LLP (“Exequity”), to conduct a comprehensive market analysis of our executive compensation program and pay, and to generally align target direct compensation for our NEOs conservatively relative to the median of the applicable peer group.

Our executive compensation programs and practices for 2017 included the following features, which we believe are mindful of the concerns of our stockholders.

14

• Our NEOs were eligible to earn annual bonuses based upon achievement of specific annual financial, operational and individual objectives that were designed to challenge the NEOs to strong performance.

• Our NEOs participated in equity-based incentive plans which provided incentives that are linked directly to increases in the value of the Company.

• Our NEOs participated in broad-based Company-sponsored benefits programs on the same basis as other full-time employees.

• Our NEOs participated in the same defined contribution retirement plan as other employees.

• Exequity, our independent compensation consultant, was retained directly by and reported to the compensation committee

• Our compensation committee, in conjunction with Exequity, developed comparative peer groups to analyze the competitiveness of the total pay opportunity provided to our NEOs.

• We did not provide our executive officers or other employees with tax gross-up payments, supplemental retirement benefits or perquisites.

Pay for Performance

Our compensation program for 2017 for Messrs. McGuinness, Podboy and Collins was designed to align key financial and operational achievements with the annual cash bonuses to such NEOs. Annual cash bonuses were focused primarily on financial performance for 2017, as well as individual performance. Under our annual bonus program for 2017, Messrs. McGuinness, Podboy and Collins were eligible to earn cash bonuses based on each of their individual performances in support of our financial, operational, and cultural goals for 2017, as well as our achievement in 2017 of performance goals relating to adjusted funds from operations (“Adjusted FFO”) (a non-GAAP financial measure) For more information regarding FFO, why management believes it is useful for investors and a reconciliation of FFO to net income, please see “Item 6. Selected Financial Data” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Our compensation committee believes these annual targeted operational and financial goals align with our strategy to attain long-term financial stability that will support sustained cash flows beneficial to our stockholders. Performance of each such NEO was not evaluated solely upon satisfaction of pre-determined performance goals, but was also evaluated subjectively by the compensation committee. Depending on actual results, each such NEO was eligible to earn a maximum of 150% of his target bonus amount if the maximum performance targets were achieved or exceeded. In determining each executive’s actual cash bonus under the bonus program, each executive’s target bonus percentage was weighted between each applicable performance metric based on the officer’s core responsibilities within the Company.

Stockholder Interest Alignment

Equity awards granted in 2017 to Messrs. McGuinness, Podboy and Collins included grants of restricted stock unit ("RSU") awards, which vest over time based on the executive’s continued employment, and which entitle each executive to receive shares of our common stock upon vesting of the RSU award. Our annual bonus program, combined with grants of equity-based awards, creates a balanced focus on the achievement of short-term and long-term financial and operational goals. Our compensation committee believes that this “at risk” compensation in the form of annual bonuses and long-term equity-based incentives plays a significant role in aligning management’s interests with those of our stockholders.

Determination of Compensation

Roles of Our Compensation Committee and Chief Executive Officer in Compensation Decisions

Our board and our compensation committee are (or were, as applicable) responsible for overseeing our executive compensation program, as well as determining and approving the ongoing compensation arrangements for our NEOs. Our compensation committee evaluates the individual performance and contributions of our Chief Executive Officer. Our Chief Executive Officer evaluates the individual performance and contributions of each other NEO, and reports to our compensation committee his recommendations regarding the other NEOs’ compensation.

Engagement of Compensation Consultant

For 2017, our compensation committee retained the services of Exequity to serve as the compensation committee’s independent compensation consultant. Exequity was engaged to assist the compensation committee with a variety of tasks, which included among other things, analyzing executive and board compensation relative to peer companies.

15

Exequity did not provide any other services to the Company in 2017. Our compensation committee has determined that Exequity is independent and does not have any conflicts of interest with the Company.

Peer Group Review

With respect to the compensation packages offered to our NEOs, the compensation committee reviewed total cash and long- term compensation levels for executive officers of the Company against those of our peer group companies in an effort to set executive compensation at levels that will attract and motivate qualified executives while rewarding performance based on corporate objectives. The compensation committee set compensation levels for each executive officer on the basis of several factors, including the executive officer’s level of experience, competitive market data applicable to the executive officer’s positions and functional responsibilities, promoting recruitment and retention, the performance of the executive officer and the Company’s annual and long-term performance, as applicable.

The peer group used to set 2017 base salaries, bonus targets and long-term equity awards for Messrs. McGuinness, Podboy and Collins consisted of the following 19 similarly sized retail real estate investment trusts ("REITs"):

Acadia Realty Trust	Kimco Realty Corporation	Regency Centers Corporation
Kite Realty Group Trust	Retail Opportunity Investments Corp.	Retail Properties of America, Inc.
Brixmor Property Group Inc.	National Retail Properties, Inc.	Tanger Factory Outlet Centers, Inc.
Rouse Properties, Inc.	Taubman Centers, Inc.	Urban Edge Properties
DDR Corporation	Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust	Washington Prime Group, Inc.
Equity One, Inc.	Ramco-Gershenson Properties Trust	Weingarten Realty Investment Trust
Federal Realty Investment Trust

Executive Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

The market for experienced management is highly competitive in our industry. One of our principal goals is to attract and retain the most highly qualified executives to manage each of our business functions. Our compensation committee works with Exequity to understand competitive pay practices within the REIT industry and to design executive compensation programs that fit our business strategy and align the interests of our NEOs with those of our shareholders. We seek to provide total compensation to our NEOs that is competitive with the total compensation paid by comparable REITs and other real estate companies in our peer group. Our executive compensation philosophy recognizes that, given that the market for experienced management is highly competitive in our industry, a key to our success is our ability to attract and retain the most highly-qualified executives to manage each of our business functions.

Elements of Executive Compensation Program

The following describes the primary components of our executive compensation program for each of our NEOs for 2017, the rationale for each component and how compensation amounts were determined.

Base Salary

In 2017, we provided our NEOs with a base salary to compensate them for services rendered to us during the year. The base salary payable to each NEO is intended to provide a fixed component of compensation reflecting the executive’s skill set, experience, role and responsibilities. The base salaries for each of the NEOs for 2017 were determined based in part on the analysis by Exequity of the compensation practices of companies in the Company’s peer group. The following table sets forth the annual base salaries for each of our NEOs for 2017.

Name	2017 Annual Base Salary
Thomas P. McGuinness	$750,000
Michael E. Podboy	515,000
David F. Collins	437,750

Annual Cash Bonuses

In 2017, our NEOs participated in an annual bonus program for employees of the Company under which each of the NEOs was eligible to receive an annual cash bonus based upon the achievement of certain performance criteria. Target annual cash bonus awards for the executives were specified in each of their respective amended and restated employment agreements, with threshold and maximum bonus levels determined on an annual basis. The target bonus levels for our NEOs for 2017 were:

16

Name	Target Annual Bonus (% of annual base salary)
Thomas P. McGuinness	125%
Michael E. Podboy	90%
David F. Collins	80%

Under the annual bonus program for our NEOs, the 2017 performance goals were: (1) Adjusted FFO, weighted at 75% of each NEOs target annual bonus opportunity, and (2) individual performance, weighted at 25% of each NEOs target annual bonus opportunity.

Adjusted FFO, as we define it, is a non-GAAP financial measure that reflects components of financial performance related to our multi-tenant retail business for which our NEOs have influence and responsibility. Adjusted FFO is generally calculated as FFO (as defined above), but (i) including net operating income at our proportionate share and fee income earned on our unconsolidated retail joint venture; (ii) excluding the effects of non-retail joint ventures, gains and losses from extinguishment of debt and sales of marketable securities, and general and administrative expenses related to discontinued operations; and (iii) excluding adjustments in accordance with GAAP related to amortization of above- and below-market lease intangibles, amortization of deferred financing costs and the effect of straight-line rental revenue. Adjusted FFO should not be considered as an alternative for net income as a measure of liquidity. Our method of calculating Adjusted FFO may be different from methods used by other REITs. Accordingly, our Adjusted FFO may not be comparable to similarly titled measurements reported by such other REITs.

The table below reflects the Adjusted FFO performance goals for 2017. The individual performance bonus component for each of our NEOs was based on a qualitative assessment of the executive’s individual performance.

2017 Annual Bonus Performance Measure	Threshold	Target	Maximum
Adjusted FFO	$101.09 million	$126.36 million	$151.63 million

Under the 2017 bonus program for our NEOs, with respect to the Adjusted FFO goal, no bonus would be earned for performance below the threshold level, 50% of the executive’s bonus target would be earned for performance at the threshold level, 100% of the executive’s bonus target would be earned for performance at the target level and 150% of the executive’s bonus target would be earned for performance at the maximum level (or above). Performance between threshold and target and between target and maximum levels would be interpolated on a straight-line basis.

For 2017, the Company achieved Adjusted FFO of $120.654 million, which was below the target goal of $126.363 million. Therefore, each of Messrs. McGuinness and Podboy were entitled to 88.70% of their target bonus with respect to the Adjusted FFO performance metric.

Our compensation committee determined that the bonus amounts for individual performances were payable at 110% of target for Mr. McGuinness and 95% of target for Mr. Podboy.

Based on these results, bonuses were determined as follows:

Name	Adjusted FFO	Individual Performance	2017 Total Bonus
Thomas P. McGuinness	$623,701	$292,969	$916,670
Michael E. Podboy	$308,358	$101,391	$409,749
David F. Collins 1	-	-	$350,200

₍₁₎  Under the terms of his Separation and Consulting Agreement with the Company, Mr. Collins received an amount equal to his 2017 target bonus, which was $350,200, in connection with the termination of his employment.

Long-Term Equity-Based Incentive

The goals of our long-term equity-based awards granted in 2017 were to promote and encourage efforts towards the execution of our long-term business plans and, thereby, to align the interest of our officers, including our NEOs, with those of our stockholders by directly linking the value of the RSUs granted to Messrs. McGuinness, Podboy and Collins with the value of the Company.

Restricted Stock Unit Awards

17

In 2017, our compensation committee approved the following RSU awards (with dividend equivalents) to each of Messrs. McGuinness, Podboy and Collins (the “RSU Awards”) under the InvenTrust Properties Corp. 2015 Incentive Award Plan (the "Incentive Award Plan") and pursuant to a restricted stock unit award agreement (the “RSU Award Agreement”).

Name	Number of RSUs
Thomas P. McGuinness	531,915
Michael E. Podboy	182,371
David F. Collins	151,976

The RSUs vest in three equal annual installments on the last business day of each of 2017, 2018 and 2019, subject to the executive's continued service. If an executive’s service is terminated by us other than for “cause,” or by the executive for “good reason,” in either case, on the date of, or during the twenty-four month period following, a change in control of the Company, or due to the executive’s death or “disability” (as defined in the RSU Award Agreement), the RSUs will vest in full upon such termination. Upon an executive’s termination of service for any other reason, any then-unvested RSUs will automatically be cancelled and forfeited by the executive. Any RSUs that become vested will be paid to the executive in whole shares of our common stock within 60 days after the applicable vesting date.

Each RSU was granted in tandem with a corresponding dividend equivalent. Each dividend equivalent entitles the executive to receive payments equal to the amount of the dividends paid on the shares of common stock underlying the RSUs (whether vested or unvested) to which the dividend equivalent relates.

Pursuant to the terms of Mr. Collins’ separation and consulting agreement with the Company, Mr. Collins forfeited, as of December 31, 2017, all unvested RSU awards which he then held.

Additional information regarding the vesting terms and conditions applicable to all outstanding RSU awards held by our NEOs is set forth under the heading “- Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” below.

Share Unit Awards

Messrs. McGuinness, Podboy, and Collins were previously granted awards under the Inland American Real Estate Trust, Inc. 2014 Share Unit Plan (the “Retail Plan”) in the form of “annual share unit” awards and “contingency share unit” awards.

Effective as of June 19, 2015, in connection with the adoption of the Incentive Award Plan, we terminated the Retail Plan. Awards outstanding as of the termination of the plan will remain outstanding and subject to the terms of the plan and the applicable award agreement. No additional awards will be granted under the Retail Plan.

The Retail Plan provided for the grant of “share unit” awards to eligible participants. The value of a “share unit” was determined based on a phantom capitalization of our retail/non-core business, and does not necessarily correspond to the value of a share of common stock of the Company.

Similarly, vesting of the share units is conditioned upon the occurrence of a triggering event, such as a Listing Event (such as an initial public offering or other listing of shares on a national securities exchange) or a change in control of the retail/non-core business, and if no triggering event occurs within five years following the applicable grant date, then the share units are forfeited.

Subject to applicable vesting conditions, each share unit represents the right to receive a cash payment or shares of common stock of the Company or an acquiror thereof, as applicable, in an amount equal to the fair market value of the share unit on the date of the triggering event. The “fair market value” of a share unit will be determined by the board of directors in good faith, and prior to a Listing Event of the applicable entity, will be determined by reference to the third party valuation performed to estimate the value of a share unit on a fully diluted basis, using methodologies and assumptions substantially similar to those used in prior valuations.

Each “annual share unit” award (an “Annual Share Unit Award”) will vest and be settled on the later to occur of (i) the date of a change in control or Listing Event with respect to our retail/non-core business, as applicable, and (ii) the third anniversary of the vesting commencement date of the award, subject to the executive’s continued employment through the applicable settlement date, provided that in no event will the Annual Share Unit Awards vest or be settled unless such a change in control or Listing Event occurs on or before the fifth anniversary of the vesting commencement date of the award. In the case of a Listing Event, the Annual Share Unit Award will be settled in shares of common stock of our retail/non-core business, and in the event of a change in control, the Annual Share Unit Award will be settled in cash (or, if the acquiring entity is a publicly traded company and the Annual Share Unit Award is converted into another form of equity award of the acquiring entity at the time of the change in control, then the Annual Share Unit Award will be settled in shares of the acquiring entity).

18

The vesting and settlement of each “contingency share unit” award (a “Contingency Share Unit Award”) is contingent upon the occurrence of a change in control or Listing Event with respect to our retail/non-core business, as applicable, that occurs no later than the fifth anniversary of the applicable vesting commencement date. If a Listing Event occurs, the Contingency Share Unit Award will vest and settle in three equal installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the Listing Event, subject to the executive’s continued employment through each vesting date. If a qualifying change in control occurs, 100% of the Contingency Share Unit Award will vest and settle on the one-year anniversary of the change in control event, subject to the executive’s continued employment through the vesting date. The awards will be settled in shares or cash in the same manner described above with respect to the Annual Share Unit Awards.

Each of the share unit awards granted to the NEOs has a vesting commencement date of March 12, 2014. The value of each share unit was equal to $10.00 at the time of grant and was determined by reference to the third-party valuation performed for us as of December 31, 2013. On November 9, 2017, our compensation committee recommended and our Board approved an adjustment to the value of the share unit awards to $7.98 per share unit as result of intercompany activity from January 1, 2014 through June 30, 2017 which included intercompany transfers of assets and debt between the retail business and the hotel and student housing businesses, the spin-off of non-core assets into Highland REIT and company repurchase of shares through dutch tenders. The adjustment to the value also resulted in an adjustment to the number of share units previously awarded to individuals.

Additional information regarding the vesting terms and conditions applicable to all outstanding share unit awards held by our NEOs is set forth under the heading “- Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” below.

Other Elements of Compensation

In 2017, we provided customary employee benefits to our full- and part-time employees, including our NEOs, including medical and dental benefits, short-term and long-term disability insurance, accidental death and dismemberment insurance, and group life insurance.

We have established a 401(k) retirement savings plan for our employees, including our NEOs, who satisfy certain eligibility requirements. In 2017, our NEOs were eligible to participate in the 401(k) plan on the same terms as other full-time employees. The Code allows eligible employees to defer a portion of their compensation, within prescribed limits, on a pre-tax basis through contributions to the 401(k) plan. For 2017, we matched dollar for dollar the contributions made by participants in the 401(k) plan for the first $6,000 of the employee’s contributions. These matching contributions are subject to vesting based on the participant’s years of service. We believe that providing a vehicle for tax-deferred retirement savings though our 401(k) plan, and making matching contributions, adds to the overall desirability of our compensation packages and further incentivizes our employees in accordance with our compensation policies.

Severance and Change in Control-Based Compensation

As more fully described below under the caption “- Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control,” the amended and restated employment agreements with our NEOs provide for certain payments and/or benefits upon a qualifying termination of employment. We believe that job security and terminations of employment, both within and outside of the change in control context, are causes of significant concern and uncertainty for senior executives and that providing protections to our NEOs in these contexts is therefore appropriate in order to alleviate these concerns and allow the executives to remain focused on their duties and responsibilities to the Company in all situations.

Payments and/or benefits provided in the employment agreements for our NEOs, in each case, upon a termination by the Company without “cause” or by the executive for “good reason,” include, without limitation:

• a multiple of the sum of the executive’s annual base salary and target bonus for the year in which the termination occurs; and

• payment or reimbursement by the Company of premiums for healthcare continuation coverage under COBRA for the executive and his dependents for up to 18 months after the termination date.

Furthermore, the award agreements covering the share unit awards granted to each NEO and the RSU Award Agreements provide for accelerated vesting of the awards upon certain terminations of employment. A detailed description of the acceleration provisions applicable to the share unit awards and the RSU Awards is set forth under the heading “- Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” below.

Separation and Consulting Agreement with Mr. Collins

Effective December 31, 2017, Mr. Collins resigned as Executive Vice President – Portfolio Management of the Company and from all other officer, director or other positions he held with any subsidiary, division or affiliate of the Company.

19

In connection with Mr. Collins’ resignation, the Company and Mr. Collins entered into a Separation and Consulting Agreement dated September 6, 2017, as amended by the First Amendment thereto, dated December 8, 2017 (as amended, the “Separation Agreement”). Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, following Mr. Collins’ resignation, Mr. Collins will provide consulting services to the Company until September 30, 2018. Mr. Collins will render an average of 40 hours of consulting services per week until March 31, 2018, and thereafter will render an average of 10 hours of consulting services per week through the remainder of the consulting period. The consulting services include sourcing the acquisition of retail properties by the Company, assisting in negotiations with major real estate tenants, advising the Company regarding financial performance, participating in the mentoring of the executive team and such other services as may be requested by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer. In consideration of such consulting services, the Company will pay Mr. Collins a consulting fee of $34,666.67 per month during the portion of the consulting period ending on March 31, 2018 and $8,333.33 per month for the portion of the consulting period commencing on April 1, 2018 through the remainder of the consulting period, as well as an additional $50,000 fee for each property sourced by Mr. Collins that the Company elects to purchase, with $25,000 payable within 10 days following the mutual execution of the related purchase and sale agreement, and $25,000 payable upon the closing of the acquisition. The consulting period may be terminated on or after March 31, 2018 by either the Company or Mr. Collins for any reason on at least 30 days advance written notice, and may be renewed or extended by mutual agreement of the Company and Mr. Collins. Prior to March 31, 2018, the consulting period may be terminated by mutual agreement between the Company and Mr. Collins.

Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, Mr. Collins is also entitled to certain severance payments and benefits, as more fully described below under the caption “- Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control.” All such compensation and benefits are conditioned upon Mr. Collins not revoking the general release of claims set forth in the Separation Agreement.

Tax and Accounting Considerations

Code Section 162(m)

Generally, Section 162(m) of the Code disallows a tax deduction for any publicly-held corporation for individual compensation exceeding $1.0 million in any taxable year to certain of its executive officers. We believe that we qualify as a REIT under the Code and generally are not subject to federal income taxes, provided that we distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of our taxable income each year. As a result of the Company’s tax status as a REIT, the loss of a deduction under Section 162(m) may not affect the amount of federal income tax payable by the Company. Therefore, our board and our compensation committee generally have not taken the deductibility limit imposed by Section 162(m) into consideration in setting compensation.

Code Section 409A

Section 409A of the Code, or Section 409A, requires that “nonqualified deferred compensation” be deferred and paid under plans or arrangements that satisfy the requirements of the statute with respect to the timing of deferral elections, timing of payments and certain other matters. Failure to satisfy these requirements can expose employees and other service providers to accelerated income tax liabilities, penalty taxes and interest on their vested compensation under such plans. Accordingly, as a general matter, it is our intention to design and administer our compensation and benefits plans and arrangements for all of our employees and other service providers, including our NEOs, so that they are either exempt from, or satisfy the requirements of, Section 409A.

Code Section 280G

Section 280G of the Code disallows a tax deduction with respect to excess parachute payments to certain executives of companies which undergo a change in control. In addition, Section 4999 of the Code imposes a 20% excise tax on the individual with respect to the excess parachute payment. Parachute payments are compensation linked to or triggered by a change in control and may include, but are not limited to, bonus payments, severance payments, certain fringe benefits, and payments and acceleration of vesting from long-term incentive plans including share units and other equity-based compensation. Excess parachute payments are parachute payments that exceed a threshold determined under Section 280G based on the executive’s prior compensation. In approving the compensation arrangements for our NEOs, our board and our compensation committee consider all elements of the cost to our company of providing such compensation, including the potential impact of Section 280G. However, our board or our compensation committee may, in their judgment, authorize compensation arrangements that could give rise to loss of deductibility under Section 280G and the imposition of excise taxes under Section 4999 when they believe that such arrangements are appropriate to attract and retain executive talent.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

20

We follow Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, or ASC Topic 718, for our stock-based compensation awards. ASC Topic 718 requires companies to calculate the grant date “fair value” of their stock-based awards using a variety of assumptions. ASC Topic 718 also requires companies to recognize the compensation cost of their stock-based awards in their income statements over the period that an employee is required to render service in exchange for the award. Grants of Annual Share Unit Awards and Contingency Share Unit Awards under the Retail Plan and RSU Awards under the Incentive Award Plan are accounted for as equity awards under ASC Topic 718. Share Unit Awards may only be settled in cash, and therefore are reflected as non-equity awards. Our compensation committee regularly considers the accounting implications of significant compensation decisions, in connection with decisions that relate to the Share Unit Plans. As accounting standards change, we may revise certain programs to appropriately align accounting expenses of our equity awards with our overall executive compensation philosophy and objectives.

Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table

Employment Agreements

The following provides a description of the material terms of each NEO’s employment agreement.

On June 19, 2015, we entered into an Amended and Restated Executive Employment Agreement with each of our NEOs and on November 9, 2017, we amended Mr. Podboy’s Amended and Restated Executive Employment Agreement (each, an “Amended Employment Agreement”). The Amended Employment Agreements provided for the following annual base salaries: Mr. McGuinness - $700,000; Messrs. Podboy and Collins - $395,000. Our compensation committee approved increases to these base salaries as follows for 2017: Mr. McGuinness - $750,000; Mr. Podboy - $515,000; and Mr. Collins - $437,750.

In addition, each executive is eligible to receive an annual cash performance bonus based upon the achievement of performance criteria established and approved by our compensation committee. The target awards for Messrs. McGuinness, Podboy and Collins under the Amended Employment Agreements will be no less than 125%, 90% and 80% of such executive’s annual base salary, respectively. In the event of a change in control or Listing Event of the Company, the NEO will be eligible to receive a pro-rated portion of the executive’s target annual bonus for the year in which such event occurs.

The Amended Employment Agreements also contain a confidentiality covenant by the executive that extends indefinitely, a non-competition covenant that extends during the executive’s employment and for a period of one year following a termination of the executive’s employment and an employee and independent contractor non-solicitation covenant that extends during the executive’s employment and for a period of three years following a termination of the executive’s

22

employment. The non-competition covenant contained in the Amended Employment Agreements generally prohibits the executive from engaging or associating with any person or entity that owns properties having an aggregate appraised value of at least $500 million and is actively engaged in the acquisition, ownership, development, improvement, operation, management, leasing or sale of community centers, grocery-anchored centers, strip centers and/or power centers. Each Amended Employment Agreement also includes a mutual non-disparagement covenant by the executive and the Company.

In addition to the terms described above, each of the Amended Employment Agreements also provides for certain payments and benefits upon a termination without “cause” or for “good reason” (each, as defined in the applicable employment agreement), which are described under the caption “- Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” below.

As discussed above, in connection with Mr. Collins’ departure, the Company and Mr. Collins entered into the Separation Agreement. Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, Mr. Collins is entitled to certain severance payments and benefits, as more fully described below under the caption "- Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control."

(1)	Amounts represent the number of outstanding RSUs multiplied by $3.29, which is equal to the most recent estimated value per share of our common stock, which was as of May 1, 2017.
(2)	Represents outstanding RSUs, which vest, subject to the executive’s continued service on the vesting date, at 100% on the last business day of 2018. If the executive’s service is terminated by us other than for “cause” or by the executive for “good reason,” in either case, on the date of, or during the 24 month period following, a change in control of the Company, or due to the executive’s death or “disability” (as defined in the RSU Award Agreement), the RSU Award will vest in full upon such termination.

(1)	Amounts represent the number of share units that were granted on the grant date multiplied by the estimated value of each share unit on the grant date as determined by our compensation committee by reference to the third-party valuation performed for the Company that was the most recent third-party evaluation available at the time of the grant. The estimated value of a share unit was determined based on a phantom capitalization of our retail/non-core business. Vesting of the share units is conditioned upon the occurrence of a triggering event, such as a Listing Event or a change in control of the retail/non-core business and, therefore, the market value of the share units cannot be definitively determined until the occurrence of such an event.
(2)	Represents an Annual Share Unit Award granted under the Retail Plan, which will vest and be settled on the later to occur of (i) the date of a change in control of the Company, or a Listing Event with respect to the shares of common stock of the Company, and (ii) the third anniversary of the vesting commencement date of the award, subject to the executive’s continued employment through the applicable settlement date, provided that in no event will the Annual Share Unit Award vest or be settled unless such a change in control or Listing Event occurs on or before the fifth anniversary of the vesting commencement date of the award. The vesting commencement date for each Annual Share Unit Award is March 12, 2014.
(3)	Represents a Contingency Share Unit Award granted under the Retail Plan, the vesting and settlement of which is contingent upon the occurrence of a change in control of the Company, or a Listing Event with respect to the shares of common stock of the Company, in each case that occurs no later than the fifth anniversary of the applicable vesting commencement date. If a Listing Event occurs, the Contingency Share Unit Award will vest and settle in three equal installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the Listing Event, subject to the executive’s continued employment through each vesting date. If a qualifying change in control occurs, 100% of the Contingency Share Unit Award will vest and settle on the one-year anniversary of the change in control event, subject to the executive’s continued employment through the vesting date. The vesting commencement date for each Contingency Share Unit Award is March 12, 2014.

Stock Vested

The following table provides information regarding RSU Awards held by Messrs. McGuinness, Podboy and Collins that vested during 2017:

Name		Number of Shares Acquired on Vesting (#)	Values Realized on Vesting ($)(1)
Thomas P. McGuinness		525,254	$1,728,086
Michael E. Podboy		170,614	561,320
David F. Collins		150,074	493,743
(1)	Amounts represent the number of shares of our common stock acquired in connection with the vesting of RSUs multiplied by $3.29, which is equal to the estimated value per share of our common stock as of May 1, 2017 and was the latest valuation available on December 29, 2017, the vesting date.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

Our NEOs are entitled to certain payments and benefits upon a qualifying termination of employment (whether or not such termination is in connection with a change in control) or upon a change in control or Listing Event. The following discussion describes the payments and benefits to which our NEOs, other than Mr. Collins, would have become entitled upon a qualifying termination or change in control, as applicable, occurring on December 31, 2017. With respect to Mr. Collins, the discussion describes the payments and benefits payable under the Separation Agreement in connection with his resignation of employment effective as of December 31, 2017.

Employment Agreements

Under the NEOs’ respective Amended Employment Agreements, if the executive’s employment was terminated by the Company, without “cause” or by the executive for “good reason” (each, as defined in the Amended Employment Agreement), the NEO would be entitled to the following severance payments and benefits:

• payment in an amount equal to a multiple of the sum of the NEO’s annual base salary and target bonus for the year in which the termination occurs, payable in equal installments over a period of 12 months commencing within 60 days following the NEO’s termination date (except as described below); and

• payment or reimbursement by us, of premiums for healthcare continuation coverage under COBRA for the NEO and his dependents for up to 18 months after the termination date.

The cash severance multiple for each NEO for both non-change in control and change in control termination scenarios is as follows: Mr. McGuinness - 2x (non-change in control) and 3x (change in control); Messrs. Podboy and Collins, - 1.5x (non-change in control) and 2.5x (change in control). Under the Amended Employment Agreements, the change in control severance multiple will apply in the event of a termination by us without “cause” that occurs on the date of, or during the 24 month period following, a change in control transaction or a sale of our retail business, or in the event of a termination by the NEO for “good reason” that occurs on the date of, or during the 24 month period following, a change in control transaction (each, as defined in the Amended Employment Agreement). Cash severance payable in the event of a qualifying

24

change in control termination will be made in a single lump sum within 60 days following the NEO’s termination date (rather than installments over 12 months). The NEO’s right to receive the severance or other benefits described above will be subject to the NEO signing, delivering and not revoking a general release agreement in a form generally used by us.

The Amended Employment Agreements further provide that, to the extent that any payment or benefit received by an NEO in connection with a change in control would be subject to an excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code, such payments and/or benefits will be subject to a “best pay cap” reduction if such reduction would result in a greater net after-tax benefit to the executive than receiving the full amount of such payments.

RSU Awards

The RSU Agreements provide for accelerated vesting of the awards in the event of certain terminations of service. If an NEO’s service is terminated by us other than for “cause” or by the NEO for “good reason,” in either case, on the date of, or during the 24 month period following, a change in control of the Company, or due to the NEO’s death or “disability” (as defined in the RSU Award Agreement), the RSU Award will vest in full upon such termination.

Share Unit Awards

The form of award agreements covering the share unit awards made to our NEOs provide for accelerated vesting of the awards in the event of certain terminations of service.

If the NEO’s employment is terminated by the Company, as applicable, without “cause” or by the NEO for “good reason” (each, as defined in the applicable award agreement or Retail Plan), in either case, following the occurrence of a change in control or Listing Event, the unvested portion of the award will vest in full and be settled on the date of such termination or resignation. In addition, in the event that the NEO’s employment is terminated on account of death or “disability” (as defined in the applicable award agreement) after the occurrence of a change in control or Listing Event, then with respect to all share units which are unvested as of that time, the NEO will be entitled to receive a cash payment equal to the fair market value of the share units on the date of the termination. In the event that the NEO’s employment is terminated on account of death or “disability,” and a change in control or Listing Event had not yet occurred, then upon the occurrence of a change in control or Listing Event, the NEO will be entitled to a cash payment equal to the fair market value of the share units on the date of the change in control or Listing Event, as applicable.

Collins Separation and Consulting Agreement

Under the Separation Agreement, subject to Mr. Collins continued service until December 31, 2017, continued compliance with the terms and conditions of the Separation Agreement, and Mr. Collins’ timely execution and non-revocation of general release of claims in favor of the Company, Mr. Collins is (or will be) entitled to the following compensation and benefits: (i) $1,181,925 payable over a period of 12 months following the separation dated (ii) 350,200 with respect to Mr. Collins 2017 earned bonus, payable March 15, 2018 and, (iii) continued health insurance coverage under COBRA at the Company’s expense for up to a period of 18 months following the separation date. The following table summarizes the amount of compensation and benefits paid or payable to Mr. Collins under the Separation Agreement.

	Cash Severance	Company-Paid COBRA Premiums (1)	Total
David F. Collins	$1,532,125	$38,185	$1,570,310

Summary of Potential Payments

The following table summarizes the payments that would be made to our NEOs, other than Mr. Collins, upon the occurrence of certain qualifying terminations of employment or a change in control, Listing Event or a sale of our retail business (a “retail sale”), assuming such NEO’s termination of employment with the Company occurred on December 31, 2017 and, where relevant, that a change in control or Listing Event of the Company or a retail sale occurred on December 31, 2017. Amounts shown in the table below do not include (1) accrued but unpaid salary or bonuses and (2) other benefits earned or accrued by the NEO during his employment that are available to all salaried employees, such as accrued vacation.

Mr. Collins resigned from his position as an executive officer and all other positions that he held with the Company and its subsidiaries effective as of December 31, 2017. Payments made to Mr. Collins under the Separation Agreement in connection with his resignation of employment are described above under “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control - Collins Separation Agreement.”

(1)	Includes (i) with respect to the RSU Awards, amounts to which NEOs would be entitled to upon a termination of employment on account of death or “disability” and (ii) with respect to the share unit awards, amounts to which NEOs would be entitled to upon a change in control or Listing Event occurring following a termination of employment on account of death or “disability.”
(2)	Includes (i) amounts which would be payable by reason of accelerated vesting of RSU Awards upon a qualifying termination of employment following a change in control and (ii) amounts which would be payable by reason of accelerated vesting of share unit awards upon a qualifying termination of employment following the change in control or Listing Event.
(3)	Represents amounts to which NEOs would be entitled upon a qualifying termination of employment occurring on the date of, or during the 24 month period following, a change in control (or with respect to share unit awards, following a Listing Event). In the event the NEO incurred a qualifying termination of employment beyond the 24 month period following a change in control (or with respect to share unit awards, following a Listing Event), the executive would remain entitled to acceleration of unvested share unit awards, but not the cash severance, reimbursement of COBRA premiums amounts or, unless the executive was terminated on account of death or disability, acceleration of unvested RSU Awards.
(4)	Represents a multiple of the sum of the NEO’s annual base salary and target bonus for the year in which the qualifying termination occurs. The multiple varies by executive, and whether the executive’s qualifying termination occurs on the date of, or during the 24 month period following, a change in control. For additional details, see “ - Employment Agreements” above.
(5)	Represents the aggregate value of the NEO’s unvested RSUs which would vest in connection with the executive’s termination of employment, calculated by multiplying the applicable number of RSUs subject to each RSU Award by $3.29, which is equal to the estimated value per share of our common stock as of December 31, 2017.
(6)	Represents the aggregate value of the NEO’s unvested share unit awards that would vest in connection with the change in control or Listing Event or the executive’s termination of employment, as applicable. Amounts represent the number of share units on the grant date multiplied by the estimated value of each share unit on the grant date as determined by our compensation committee by reference to the third-party valuation performed for the Company that was the most recent third-party evaluation available at the time of the grant. The estimated value of a share unit was determined based on a phantom capitalization of our retail business and does not directly correspond to the value of a share of common stock of the Company. Vesting of the share units is conditioned upon the occurrence of a triggering event, such as a Listing Event or a change in control of the business and, therefore, the market value of the share units cannot be definitively determined until the occurrence of such an event.
(7)	Represents reimbursement of COBRA premiums. The amounts associated with COBRA premiums were calculated using 2017 enrollment rates, multiplied by the maximum 18 month period during which the executive may be entitled to reimbursement of COBRA premiums.

CEO PAY RATIO DISCLOSURE

As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information regarding the ratio of the annual total compensation of our median employee to the annual total compensation of Thomas McGuinness, our Chief Executive Officer (our “CEO”). We consider the pay ratio specified below to be a reasonable estimate, calculated in a manner that is intended to be consistent with the requirements of Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K.

For 2017, our last completed annual period:

• the annual total compensation of the employee who represents our median compensated employee (other than our CEO) was $99,759.70; and

• the annual total compensation of our CEO, as reported in the Summary Compensation Table above, was $3,423,979.

Based on this information, for 2017, the annual total compensation of our CEO was approximately 34.32 times the median of the annual total compensation of all of our employees (other than the CEO).

Determining the Median Employee

Employee Population

The Company used our employee population data as of December 1, 2017 as the reference date for identifying our median employee. As of such date, our employee population consisted of approximately 127 individuals.

Methodology for Determining Our Median Employee

To identify the median employee from our employee population, we used 2017 annual base salary, bonus paid in 2017 and any long term incentive stock awards granted in 2017. In identifying the median employee, we annualized the compensation of all permanent employees who were new-hires and/or on leave of absence in 2017.

Compensation Measure and Annual Total Compensation of Median Employee

With respect to the annual total compensation of the employee who represents our median compensated employee, we calculated such employee’s compensation for 2017 in accordance with the requirements of Item 402(c)(2)(x) of Regulation S-K.

Annual Total Compensation of CEO

With respect to the annual total compensation of our CEO, we used the amount reported in the “Total” column of our 2017 Summary Compensation Table included in this Proxy Statement.

27

COMPENSATION RISK ASSESSMENT

We believe that our compensation policies and practices appropriately balance near-term performance improvement with sustainable long-term value creation, and that they do not encourage unnecessary or excessive risk taking. In 2017, our management conducted an extensive review of the design and operation of our compensation program and presented their findings to the compensation committee. The review included an assessment of the level of risk associated with the various elements of compensation. Based on this review and assessment, we believe that our compensation policies and practices are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS

Policies and Procedures with Respect to Related Party Transactions

Our board of directors has adopted a written policy regarding the review, approval and ratification of transactions with related persons, which we refer to as our “related person policy.” Our related person policy requires that management present to the audit committee any proposed “related person transaction” (defined as any transaction, arrangement or relationship (or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships) in which the Company (including any of its subsidiaries) was, is or will be a participant and the amount involved exceeds $120,000, and in which any “related person” (as defined in paragraph (a) of Item 404 of Regulation S-K)) had, has or will have a direct or indirect interest), including all relevant facts and circumstances relating thereto. The audit committee will review the relevant facts and circumstances of each related person transaction, including if the transaction is on terms comparable to those that could be obtained in arm’s length dealings with an unrelated third party and the extent of the related person’s interest in the transaction, take into account the conflicts of interest and corporate opportunity provisions of the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct, and either approve or disapprove the related person transaction.

If advance audit committee approval of a related person transaction requiring the audit committee’s approval is not feasible, then the transaction may be preliminarily entered into by management upon prior approval of the transaction by the chair of the audit committee subject to ratification of the transaction by the audit committee at the audit committee’s next regularly scheduled meeting; provided, that if ratification shall not be forthcoming, management shall make all reasonable efforts to cancel or annul such transaction. Any related person transaction shall be consummated and shall continue only if the audit committee has approved or ratified such transaction in accordance with Section 2-419 of Maryland Code, Corporations and Associations (if applicable), or any successor provision thereto, our charter and bylaws and the guidelines set forth in the related person policy.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT¹

The audit committee of the board of directors of InvenTrust Properties Corp. (the “Company”) assists the board of directors in its oversight of the integrity of the Company’s financial statements. Management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements, the reporting process and maintaining an effective system of internal controls over financial reporting. The Company’s independent auditors are engaged to audit and express opinions on the conformity of the Company’s financial statements to United States generally accepted accounting principles.

In addition to fulfilling its oversight responsibilities as set forth in its charter and further described in the section of the Company’s proxy statement for the 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders titled “Audit Committee,” the audit committee has performed the following:

• Prior to the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, reviewed and discussed with management and KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements.

• Discussed with KPMG the matters required to be discussed by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”), as adopted in Auditing Standard No. 1301 (Communications with Audit Committees), and any other matters required to be communicated to the committee by KPMG under auditing standards established from time to time by the PCAOB or SEC rules and regulations.

• Evaluated KPMG’s qualifications, performance and independence (consistent with SEC requirements), which included the receipt and review of the written disclosures and the letter from KPMG required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding KPMG’s communications with the audit committee concerning independence and discussions with KPMG regarding its independence.

Based on the reviews and discussions with management and KPMG cited above, including the review of KPMG’s disclosures and letter to the audit committee and review of the representations of management and the reports of KPMG, the audit committee recommended to the board of directors that the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 filed with the SEC.

PROPOSAL NO. 2 – RATIFY APPOINTMENT OF KPMG LLP

The audit committee has selected KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2018. We are asking our stockholders to ratify the selection.

KPMG also served as our independent registered accounting firm for year ended December 31, 2017. Representatives of KPMG will be present at the Annual Meeting to respond to appropriate questions and to make such statements as they may desire.

Stockholder ratification of the selection of KPMG as our independent registered public accounting firm is not required by our bylaws or otherwise. However, the board of directors is submitting the selection of KPMG to the stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate governance practice. Furthermore, the audit committee will take the results of the stockholder vote regarding KPMG’s appointment into consideration in future deliberations. Even if the selection is ratified, the audit committee, in its discretion, may direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company. Our board unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” the appointment of KPMG as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2018.

Fees to Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The following table presents fees for professional services rendered by our independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG for the audit of our annual consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, together with fees for audit-related services and tax services rendered by KPMG for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Approval of Services and Fees

Our audit committee, or the chairperson of our audit committee, must pre-approve any audit and non-audit service provided to us by the independent auditor, unless the engagement is entered into pursuant to appropriate pre-approval policies established by the audit committee or if such service falls within available exceptions under SEC rules. If approved by the chairperson of the audit committee, such approval will be presented to the audit committee at its next meeting. The audit committee may form and delegate authority to subcommittees consisting of one or more members when appropriate, including the authority to approve audit and permitted non-audit services, provided that the decision of the subcommittee to approve any service shall be presented to the full audit committee at its next scheduled meeting.

The audit committee has reviewed and approved all of the fees charged by KPMG for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, and actively monitors the relationship between audit and non-audit services provided by KPMG. The audit committee concluded that all services rendered by KPMG during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, were consistent with maintaining KPMG’s independence. As a matter of policy, we will not engage our primary independent registered public accounting firm for non-audit services other than “audit-related services,” as defined by the SEC, certain tax services and other permissible non-audit services that are specifically approved as described above.

PROPOSAL NO. 3 – ADVISORY VOTE ON NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION

(“SAY ON PAY”)

Background

In accordance with Section 14A of the Exchange Act, which was added under the Dodd Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Act, we are asking our stockholders to vote upon a resolution to approve, on a non-binding, advisory basis, the compensation of our NEO’s as reported in the proxy.

Summary

As described more fully in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis (“CD&A”) section of this proxy statement, the compensation program for our NEOs is designed to align executive compensation with the Company’s performance and with stockholder interests, and to attract, motivate and retain talented and experienced executive officers through competitive compensation arrangements relative to our peer group. The program seeks to align a significant portion of executive compensation with our performance on a short-term and long-term basis through a combination of annual base salaries, annual incentives through cash bonuses and long-term incentives through equity-based compensation. The annual incentive payout for each NEO is based on our financial and operational performance and achievement of the executive’s individual performance goals, and each NEO’s annual cash bonus opportunity provides for threshold, target and maximum bonus amounts, expressed as a percentage of the NEO’s base salary. In addition, long-term incentive awards, including prior grants of share unit awards and new grants of RSU awards, are intended to encourage actions to maximize stockholder value. We urge our stockholders to review the CD&A section of this proxy statement and related executive compensation tables for more information.

We emphasize pay-for-performance. Our compensation philosophy is to align key financial, operational and personal achievements with the annual cash bonuses to our NEOs. Our accomplishments for the year ended December 31, 2017 include, among other things, the following:

• Increased average base rent per square foot for wholly-owned retail properties 4.7% and for wholly-owned and IAGM joint venture owned properties 3.9% from the prior year period

• Achieved funds from operations, as defined by NAREIT, of $167.6 million.

• Acquired eight new multi-tenant open-air retail properties for a gross investment of $633.4 million

• Disposed of remaining non-core asset

• Continued to execute on our strategy by disposing of assets in secondary and tertiary markets

During the year ended December 31, 2017, we increased our dividend distribution by 3%. Our stockholders received dividends of $53.4 million, or $.0690 per share on an annualized basis. We disposed of seven retail properties, one non-core property and two single user outparcels for a gross disposition price of approximately $244.0 million; we acquired eight multi-tenant open air retail properties for an aggregated gross acquisition price of $633.4 million; and we refinanced or paid down, net of loan assumptions, approximately $104.3 million of outstanding debt. We ended 2017 well positioned to continue the execution of our portfolio strategy. As of December 31, 2017, our multi-tenant retail platform included 71 wholly owned and consolidated retail properties and 15 retail properties held by IAGM, for a total of 86 multi-tenant open air retail centers with gross undepreciated fixed assets of $3.1 billion.

We believe that our compensation programs are strongly aligned with the long-term interests of our stockholders. We believe that RSU awards in 2017 serve to align the interests of our NEOs with those of our long-term stockholders by encouraging long-term performance. As such, equity awards are a key component of our executive compensation program.

We are committed to having strong governance standards with respect to our compensation program, procedures and practices. Pursuant to our commitment to strong governance standards, the Compensation Committee is comprised solely of independent directors. In 2017, the Compensation Committee retained Exequity LLP, an independent compensation consultant, to provide it with advice and guidance in designing a market-based executive compensation program. The compensation committee has determined that Exequity is independent and does not have any conflicts of interest with the Company.

We provide competitive pay opportunities. Each year, our Compensation Committee reviews total cash and long term compensation levels for our NEOs against those of our peer group companies in an effort to set executive compensation at levels that will attract and motivate qualified executives while rewarding performance based on corporate objectives. Our compensation programs consist of elements designed to complement each other and reward achievement of short-term and long-term objectives tied to our performance through association with financial and operational metrics. The following are a few key actions and decisions with respect to our compensation program for 2017:

• The NEOs were eligible to earn cash incentive compensation based upon achievement of specific financial, operational and personal objectives for 2017 as approved by the compensation committee that were designed to challenge the NEOs to high performance.

• The board set compensation levels for each NEO for 2017 on the basis of several factors, including the NEO’s level of experience, competitive market data applicable to the NEO’s positions and functional responsibilities, promotion of recruitment and retention, the performance of the executive officer and the Company’s annual and long-term performance, as applicable.

• Base salaries represented 22% to 34% of each NEO’s total compensation for 2017, whereas short-term and long-term performance-based compensation represented 78% to 66% of the total compensation paid or awarded to each of our NEOs in 2017.

Recommendation

The board believes that the information provided above and within the CD&A section of this proxy statement demonstrates that our executive compensation program was designed appropriately and is working to ensure that management’s interests are aligned with our stockholders’ interests to support long-term value creation. The board unanimously recommends that you vote, on a non-binding, advisory basis, “FOR” the resolution set forth below approving the compensation paid to our named executive officers as disclosed pursuant to the SEC’s compensation disclosure rules:

RESOLVED, that the stockholders of the Company approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables and narrative discussion of this proxy statement.

As an advisory vote, this proposal is not binding upon the Company. However, our board and compensation committee value the opinions expressed by our stockholders in their vote on this proposal, and will carefully consider the outcome of the vote when making future compensation decisions for NEOs.
