INVENTRUST PROPERTIES CORP. 

A Maryland Corporation 

NOTICE TO STOCKHOLDER OF ISSUANCE OF 

UNCERTIFICATED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK 

Containing the Information Required by Section 2-211 of the 

Maryland General Corporation Law 

Shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share 

InvenTrust Properties Corp., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), is issuing to you shares (the “Shares”) of its Common Stock. The
Shares do not have physical certificates. Instead, the Shares are recorded on the books and records of the Company, and this notice is given to you of certain information relating to the Shares. All capitalized terms not defined herein have the
meanings set forth in the Company’s charter, as the same may be amended from time to time, a copy of which, including the restrictions on transfer and ownership, will be furnished to each holder of Shares of the Company on request and without
charge. Requests for such a copy may be directed to the Secretary of the Company at its principal office. 
 The Company has the authority to issue shares
of stock of more than one class. Upon the request of any stockholder, and without charge, the Company will furnish a full statement of the information required by Section 2-211(b) of the Maryland General Corporation Law with respect to the
designations and any preferences, conversion and other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends and other distributions, qualifications, and terms and conditions of redemption of the shares of each class of stock which the
Company has authority to issue, the differences in the relative rights and preferences between the shares of each series to the extent set, and the authority of the Board of Directors to set such rights and preferences of subsequent series. Requests
must be made to the Secretary of the Company at its principal office. 
 The Shares are subject to restrictions on Beneficial Ownership and Constructive
Ownership and Transfer for the purpose of the Company’s maintenance of its status as a “real estate investment trust” (a “REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Subject to certain
further restrictions and except as expressly provided in the Company’s charter: (i) no Person may Beneficially Own or Constructively Own shares of Common Stock in excess of 9.8% (in value or number of shares, whichever is more restrictive)
of the total outstanding shares of Common Stock unless such Person is an Excepted Holder (in which case the Excepted Holder Limit shall be applicable); (ii) no Person may Beneficially Own or Constructively Own shares of Equity Stock of the
Company in excess of 9.8% (in value or number of shares, whichever is more restrictive) of the total outstanding shares of Equity Stock of the Company, unless such Person is an Excepted Holder (in which case the Excepted Holder Limit shall be
applicable); (iii) no Person may Beneficially Own or Constructively Own Equity Stock that would result in the Company being “closely held” under Section 856(h) of the Code (without regard to whether such interest is held during
the last half of a taxable year) or otherwise cause the Company to fail to qualify as a REIT; (iv) no Person may Beneficially Own or Constructively Own shares of Equity Stock to the extent that such Beneficial Ownership or Constructive
Ownership would cause any income of the Company that would otherwise qualify as “rents from real property” for purposes of Section 856(d) of the Code to fail to qualify as such (including, but not limited to, Beneficial Ownership or
Constructive Ownership that would result in the Company actually owning or Constructively Owning an interest in a tenant that is described in Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code); and (v) no Person may Transfer shares of Equity Stock if such
Transfer would result in the Equity Stock of the Company being owned by fewer than 100 Persons. Any Person who Beneficially Owns or Constructively Owns or attempts to Beneficially Own or Constructively Own shares of Equity Stock that causes or will
cause a Person to Beneficially or Constructively Own shares of Equity Stock in excess or in violation of the above limitations must immediately notify the Company. If any of the restrictions on transfer or ownership provided in (i), (ii),
(iii) and (iv) above are violated, the shares of Equity Stock in excess or in violation of the above limitations will be automatically transferred to a Trustee of a Trust for the benefit of one or more charitable Beneficiaries. In
addition, if the ownership restriction provided in (iv) above would be violated, or upon the occurrence of certain events, attempted Transfers in violation of the restrictions described above may be void ab initio.EX-10.1

Company and you or between any such successor and you. 

  

	 	18.	Counterparts. This Letter Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, which together shall constitute a valid and binding agreement. 

 

	 	19.	Section 409A Compliance. 

  

	 	a.	To the extent that a payment or benefit under this Letter Agreement is subject to Section 409A, it is intended that this Letter Agreement as applied to that payment or benefit comply with the requirements of
Section 409A, and the Letter Agreement shall be administered and interpreted consistent with this intent. 

  

	 	b.	With regard to any provision herein that provides for reimbursement of costs and expenses of in-kind benefits, except as permitted by Section 409A, (i) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not
be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit, (ii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits, provided during any taxable year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind
benefits, to be provided in any other taxable year, and (iii) such payments shall be made on or before the last day of your taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense occurred. 

 

	 	c.	For purposes of Section 409A, your right to receive any installment payments pursuant to this Letter Agreement shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate and distinct payments. Whenever a payment
under this Letter Agreement specifies a payment period with reference to a number of days (e.g., “payment shall be made within thirty (30) days following the date of termination”), the actual date of payment within the
specified period shall be within the sole discretion of the Company. 

  

	 	20.	Employee Representation. You hereby represent to the Company that the execution and delivery of this Letter Agreement by you and the Company and the performance by you of your duties hereunder shall not
constitute a breach of, or otherwise contravene, or be prevented, interfered with or hindered by, the terms of any employment agreement or other agreement or policy to which you are a party or otherwise bound, and further that you are not subject to
any limitation on your activities on behalf of the Company as a result of agreements into which you have entered except for obligations of confidentiality with former employers. To the extent this representation and warranty is not true and
accurate, it shall be treated as a Cause event and the Company may terminate you for Cause or not permit you to commence employment. 

  

	 	21.	Background Check. This offer, and your employment by the Company, is contingent upon completion (satisfactory to the Company) of a background reference check, employment authorization verification, and the
submission of required documents. 

 Mary, we are looking forward to you joining the Company. We are excited about the important contributions
