“We believe that the potential to utilize Inland’s extensive
experience acquiring, managing, leasing, financing and developing
real estate nationwide will complement our ability to take
advantage of a variety of opportunities as we expand our commercial
platform into ownership of real property,” said Wellington J.
Denahan, Annaly’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. This
initiative further augments Annaly’s continued expansion of its
commercial real estate portfolio. As of March 31, 2014, Annaly

“We are honored to have been chosen by Annaly to assist in creating
an enviable net lease platform and excited about our strategic
relationship.” Joe Cosenza, a Vice Chairman of Inland and President
of Inland Real Estate Acquisitions, Inc., who is leading the Inland
team said, “Annaly’s impressive expansion of its commercial real
estate business highlights the strength of its balance sheet and
flexibility, and we look forward to helping one of the largest
mortgage REITs leverage upon those attributes.”
Annaly’s principal business objective is to generate net income
for distribution to its shareholders from its investments. Annaly

estate investment trust (“REIT”). Annaly is managed and advised by
