The date of the 2011 Annual Meeting is more than 30 days earlier than the date of the anniversary of the Company’s 2010 annual meeting of stockholders, which was held on July 22, 2010. As a result, pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act (“Rule 14a-8”), stockholders may present proposals for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials for the 2011 Annual Meeting by submitting proposals to the Company a reasonable time before the Company begins to print and send its proxy materials.

Such proposals should be delivered to: TNP Strategic Retail Trust, Inc., 1900 Main Street, Suite 700, Irvine, California, 94614, Attention: Corporate Secretary. Such proposals must comply with Rule 14a-8 and all other applicable rules and regulations regarding the inclusion of stockholder proposals in the Company’s proxy materials, and may be omitted by the Company if not in compliance with Rule 14a-8 or any other applicable rules and regulations.
In accordance with the requirements for advance notice in the Company’s bylaws, for director nominations or other business to be brought before the 2011 Annual Meeting by a stockholder, other than stockholder proposals pursuant to Rule 14a-8 as described above, written notice must be delivered to the Company no later than the close of business on May 9, 2011. Such notice should be delivered to: TNP Strategic Retail Trust, Inc., 1900 Main Street, Suite 700, Irvine, California, 94614, Attention: Corporate Secretary.
