August 3, 2009 – Inland Western Retail Real Estate Trust, Inc. (“Inland Western”) announced today the following update on the company’s year-to-date transactional activity. Leasing Activity Inland Western has executed 93 leases year-to-date, for an aggregate 714,515 square feet, including the re-leasing of one Circuit City, three Mervyn’s and seven Linens ‘n Things locations. These leases have been signed with strong national tenants including: T J Maxx, Ross Dress for Less, Best Buy and Kohl’s. Inland Western is in active negotiations on the majority of the vacant big-box spaces resulting from the Circuit City, Linens ‘n Things and Mervyn’s bankruptcies; year-to-date the company has released 14% of these spaces, and an additional 61% have received letters of intent or are in various stages of lease negotiations. Asset Sales Inland Western has made significant strides in disposing of non-core assets as a means of recycling capital. The company has closed on the sale of four assets year-to-date, aggregating 1.14 million square feet, for a total sales price of $226.6 million. The properties sold included: Larkspur Landing, a 172,000 square foot lifestyle center located in Marin County, California; a 395,787 square-foot office building fully leased to American Express in Salt Lake City, Utah; a 389,787 square-foot office building fully leased to American Express in Greensboro, North Carolina; and the 181,751 square foot corporate office headquarters for Computershare in Canton, Massachusetts. The aggregated sales resulted in the extinguishment of approximately $141 million of debt. Financing Activity Inland Western has closed on fifteen mortgage loan transactions year-to-date with a variety of lenders, including life insurance companies, regional and local banks, for a total of approximately $163 million. The company also has approximately $518 million in maturing loans in various stages of negotiation or under application.

Additionally, Inland Western currently has another $121 million of the 2009 debt maturing in the market for quote. As part of the company’s strategy, management is focused on accessing multiple sources of capital, involving single asset and portfolio executions, in order to address its upcoming debt maturities. “Our intensive capital and asset management efforts are resulting in commendable traction towards achieving our stated goals of managing occupancy and the balance sheet,” commented Michael J. O’Hanlon, president and chief executive officer of Inland Western. “This company has done a tremendous job of executing on these transactions in such an uncertain economy, including our finance team, our leasing team and our asset management and transactions team. We are seeing solid activity on all fronts going forward, albeit with a longer duration to closings. We remain focused on the day-to-day operations and property financings, which will continue to be a challenge as the necessary shift in consumer sentiment that would result from an economic recovery has not yet occurred.”
