Marketwired
Developers Diversified Realty (NYSE: DDR), the nation's leading
owner, manager and developer of market-dominant shopping centers,
has declared its second quarter 2009 common stock dividend of $0.20
per share.
The common dividend is payable on July 21, 2009 to shareholders
of record at the close of business on June 11, 2009.
In order to retain capital and enhance financial flexibility
amid the challenging capital markets environment, and to comply
with REIT distribution requirements, the Company has decided that
the second quarter 2009 common stock dividend will be paid in a
combination of cash and the Company's common shares. The cash
component will not exceed 10% of the aggregate dividend, or $0.02
per share.
In accordance with recently issued Internal Revenue Service
guidance, shareholders may make an election to receive their
dividend in all cash or all common shares. However, to the extent
more than 10% cash is elected by all shareholders in the aggregate,
then the cash portion will be prorated. Shareholders who do not
make an election will receive 90% in common stock and 10% in cash.
The value of the shares distributed in the dividend will be based
upon the volume weighted average trading prices of the Company's
common stock on July 7, July 8 and July 9, 2009.
The mailing of election forms to registered shareholders will
commence no later than June 16, 2009, and must be received by the
Company's transfer agent by 7:00 p.m. EDT on July 6, 2009.

nominee, and you have questions regarding the dividend election,
please contact such bank, broker or nominee, who will also be
