July 19, 2021

Dear Shareholder:

According to our latest records, we have not yet received your vote for the important special meeting of Weingarten Realty Investors shareholders taking place on August 3, 2021, at which your board of trust managers unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favor of the proposed merger with Kimco Realty Corporation.

Your vote is important. Approval of the WRI Merger Proposal requires the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the outstanding shares. Therefore, if you fail to vote, it will have the same effect as a vote against the proposal.  To ensure your shares are represented at the special meeting, please vote TODAY—either online or by phone, or by signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the envelope provided. If you received this letter by email, you may also simply press the “VOTE NOW” button in the accompanying email.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Very truly yours,

Senior Vice President and Secretary
