        <footnote id="F1">Common Stock acquired upon vesting of Restricted Stock Units issued pursuant to The InterGroup Corporation 2008 Restricted Stock Unit Plan.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">Each Restricted Stock Unit represents the right to receive, following vesting, one share of Common Stock of The InterGroup Corporation.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">Restricted Stock Units vest as follows: September 10, 2010 - 15,000 shares; September 10, 2011 - 15,000 shares. As Restricted Stock Units vest, they are converted to vested shares of Common Stock on a one-for-one basis on the vesting date.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F4">Stock options have time and performance vesting requirements, both of which have to be met for options to be fully vested and exercisable. Under the time vesting requirements, 20,000 options will vest each year on the aniversary of the date of grant for the next five years. Under the performance vesting requirements, options will vest in increments of 20,000 upon each increase of $2,00 or more in the fair market value of the Company's Common Stock above the exercise price.</footnote>
