This Amendment No. 9 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment”) relates to Class A common shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.01 per share (“Class A Shares”), of Seritage Growth Properties, a Maryland real estate investment trust (the “Issuer”).

Capitalized terms used herein which are not defined herein have the meaning given to them in the Schedule 13D, as previously amended, filed with the SEC.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

Item 3 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

“On August 12, 2019, Partners and Mr. Lampert entered into a cross-trade between each other in which Partners disposed of, and Mr. Lampert acquired, an aggregate of 38,652 Class A Shares and 683,081 OP Units for aggregate consideration of approximately $28,320,803 in connection with the satisfaction of certain liabilities owed to Mr. Lampert.

“On September 30, 2019, Partners entered into a Rule 10b5-1(c) Plan (the “September 2019 10b5-1 Plan”) pursuant to which Partners agreed to distribute both (i) 8,283 Class A Shares and (ii) 146,379 OP Units, which are currently held by Partners, pro rata to its redeeming limited partners following the satisfaction of certain conditions outside the control or influence of any of the Reporting Persons, as described in the September 2019 10b5-1 Plan, pursuant to the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Act. There is the potential that no Class A Shares or OP Units will be distributed under the September 2019 10b5-1 Plan in the event the conditions on such distributions are not satisfied during the term of the September 2019 10b5-1 Plan.

The September 2019 10b5-1 Plan is filed as Exhibit 99.10 to this Amendment and is incorporated by reference herein.
