Business Context and Reporting Period
This Form 8-K was filed by InvenTrust Properties Corp. on September 20, 2021. The filing serves as a Regulation FD disclosure regarding a strategic corporate action authorized by the Board of Directors on the same date.
Key Financial Metrics
This filing does not contain audited financial statements, revenue, profit, or cash flow data. The only financial metric disclosed is the proposed size of a potential tender offer:
- Proposed Tender Offer Size: Up to $100 million.
- Funding Source: Anticipated to be funded with cash on the Company's balance sheet.

Material Changes and Corporate Actions
The Board authorized two primary actions intended to occur in October 2021:
- NYSE Listing: The Company will pursue a listing of its Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "IVT".
- Modified "Dutch Auction" Tender Offer: The Company expects to commence a tender offer to purchase up to $100 million of its outstanding Common Stock. The price will be specified by tendering stockholders within a to-be-determined range. If oversubscribed, shares will be accepted on a pro rata basis.
The filing notes that the actual listing price may differ significantly from the historical estimated value of $28.90 due to market conditions and valuation methodologies.
