**EastGroup Properties Announces** 

**Leadership Promotions**

**JACKSON, MISSISSIPPI, December 16, 2025 - EastGroup Properties, Inc. (NYSE: EGP) (the "Company" or "EastGroup")** today announced a series of leadership promotions to support the Company's continued long-term growth.

Effective January 1, 2026:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Michelle Rayner, Controller, will assume the role of Chief Accounting Officer.

"On behalf of the Board, I am delighted to announce these important changes to our management team," said Marshall Loeb, Chief Executive Officer. "With a combined EastGroup tenure of nearly 70 years, Reid, Staci, Brent and Michelle represent the exceptional talent we have at EastGroup, and their promotions reflect our confidence in their ability to grow and drive shareholder value. We've experienced meaningful growth and believe we are well positioned to continue executing our strategy and capitalizing on the strength of our portfolio."

Mr. Loeb continued, "Reid, Staci, Brent, and Michelle each possess deep institutional knowledge and are proven leaders. Their new roles are a natural evolution that enhances operational alignment across our development, acquisition, financial, and regional functions and ensures we're well positioned to execute on the opportunities ahead and continue delivering long-term value."

As President, Mr. Dunbar will work directly with Mr. Loeb and the entire team to oversee capital allocation decisions and play a larger role in corporate strategy and investor relations. Since joining EastGroup in 2017, Mr. Dunbar has led the Central Region, driving consistent portfolio growth and strengthening EastGroup's development pipeline in some of our fastest-growing markets.

As Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Wood will take on a new role of overseeing leasing and asset and property management for the Company's entire portfolio of approximately 65 million square feet. During his nearly 30-year tenure with EastGroup, Mr. Wood has played a central role in shaping the Company's operational and financial foundation, having served as a regional leader and later as our Chief Financial Officer since 2017.

As Chief Accounting Officer, Ms. Rayner will be responsible for the Company's accounting function, including financial reporting and Securities and Exchange Commission filings. She joined the Company in 2011 as Assistant Controller, and in 2020, she became Vice President and Controller of the Company.

Following a successful 25-year tenure with EastGroup, John Coleman, Executive Vice President of EastGroup's Eastern Region, will retire on June 30, 2026. Upon Mr. Coleman's retirement, Todd Johnson, Senior Vice President of Florida, will succeed Mr. Coleman as Executive Vice President of the Eastern Region, which includes operations across Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina. After 22 years with Duke Realty, Mr. Johnson served as Senior Vice President for Hillwood Investment Properties for three years until 2024, when he began leading EastGroup's Florida team. Since joining EastGroup, Mr. Johnson has delivered strong leasing and development results throughout our Florida markets.

"We thank John for his innumerable contributions and his outstanding leadership over the past 25 years. John was pivotal in helping EastGroup develop one of the strongest industrial portfolios in the Eastern U.S. He is leaving behind a strong team to follow in his big footsteps. I will miss John very much both personally and professionally," said Mr. Loeb.
