Item 8.01               Other Events

 

Inland Western Retail Real Estate Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) maintains a Share Repurchase Program (“SRP”) to provide limited liquidity to its shareholders.  Under the SRP, purchases by the Company are limited during any calendar year to 5% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the prior year.  As previously announced, the Board of Directors of the Company voted to suspend the SRP until further notice, effective November 19, 2008; however, share repurchases under the SRP could be terminated prior to November 19, 2008 if the 5% limit was reached prior to November 19, 2008.

 

The Company announced today that the 5% limitation contained in the SRP has been reached as of October 22, 2008, and no further requests for share repurchases can be honored during the remainder of 2008.  In addition, as a result of the Board of Directors action, the SRP will remain suspended until further notice.
