Dear Stockholder:

On behalf of Inland Real Estate Income Trust, Inc. (“Inland Income Trust” or the “Company”), I am pleased to announce a third quarter 2025 distribution of $0.1356 per share to stockholders of record as of September 30, 2025. This distribution was paid to stockholders on or around October 7, 2025.

The economic landscape continues to evolve amid market volatility, tariff policy developments, and cautious monetary policy. Marked by fluctuating conditions through the first half of the year, the S&P 500 entered record- high territory during the third quarter of 2025. The yield on the 10-year Treasury has hovered between 4.0 and 4.5 percent, reflecting a slowing economy, seen in increasing unemployment and slowing inflation. Inflation remains persistently above the Fed’s 2 percent target, registering 2.9 percent as of August. Meanwhile, the labor market is showing signs of softening, with declines in both labor demand and supply. The August jobs report revealed a mere 22,000 jobs added, and revised figures for previous months
