DILLARD’S EXPANDS PRESENCE AT HAMILTON PLACE MALL

IN CHATTANOOGA, TN THROUGH PURCHASE OF PARISIAN BUILDING

Dillard’s Plans Major Remodel and Remerchandising of Department Store Space

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (January 15, 2007) - CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. (NYSE:CBL) and Dillard’s, Inc. (NYSE: DDS) (“Dillard’s”) today announced that Dillard’s will expand its presence at Hamilton Place mall in Chattanooga, TN through the purchase of the Parisian building from Belk, Inc. Dillard’s, which currently operates a two-level building on the north side of the mall, will expand into two-level space currently operated as a Parisian department store and will serve existing and new Chattanooga customers from the company’s dual-anchor format.

As part of the expansion, Dillard’s plans a major remodel of both buildings. The tone of their new stores, both in building design and in merchandise assortment, will reflect Dillard’s renewed focus on upscale and contemporary fashion. The completed dual-anchor Dillard’s format will measure approximately 210,000 square feet. The completely remodeled former Parisian building will open in the summer of 2007. The existing Dillard’s building will be remodeled in stages with minimal interruption of customer service. New features and updated areas will be presented to Chattanooga area customers continually as the transformation progresses.

“We have a longstanding relationship with Dillard’s and we are excited about their expansion, renovation and remerchandising at Hamilton Place,” said Charles B. Lebovitz, Chairman and CEO of CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. “One of our goals is to respond to the wants and needs of the market area and we are confident that Dillard’s expansion will do just that. Now the department store will have adequate space for their expanded lines of the most modern and trendy clothing, shoes and accessories. Dillard’s complements the retailer mix at Hamilton Place and further enhances the offerings at this market dominant property.”

Commenting on the department store expansion at Hamilton Place, Dillard’s Chief Executive Officer, William Dillard, II, said, “We are tremendously pleased with our plans for Hamilton Place. We believe that our Chattanooga area customers deserve the best. Our expansion and remodel at Hamilton Place will enable us to serve our customers there at a whole new level - with even better choices of fashions for the family and home. Our new direction toward more upscale and contemporary style will certainly be evident at Hamilton Place.”
