Explanation of Responses:
(1)	The reporting person received a grant of limited partnership units in Kite Realty Group L.P. designated as Class AO LTIP Units ("AO LTIPs"), pursuant to the Kite Realty Group Trust 2013 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended and restated as of February 28, 2019. AO LTIPs are similar to "net exercise" stock option awards and are convertible, once vested, into a number of vested limited partnership units of Kite Realty Group L.P. designated as LTIP Units ("LTIPs"), determined by the quotient of (i) the excess of the value of a common share of beneficial interest, par value of $.01 per share ("Common Share") of Kite Realty Group Trust as of the date of conversion over $17.76 (the "Participation Threshold per AO LTIP"), divided by (ii) the value of a Common Share as of the date of conversion. Vested LTIPs into which AO LTIPs have been converted are further convertible, [footnote continued]
(2)	[Continued from footnote] conditioned upon minimum allocations to the capital accounts of the LTIPs for U.S. federal income tax purposes, into an equal number of limited partnership units in Kite Realty Group L.P. ("LP Units"). The resulting LP Units are redeemable by the holder for one Common Share per LP Unit or the cash value of a Common Share, at the Issuer's option. The AO LTIPs will vest and become exercisable as of the date that both of the following requirements have been met: (i) the grantee remains in continuous service from the grant date through the third anniversary of the grant date; and (ii) at any time during the period between the second year and the fifth year following the grant date, the reported closing price per Common Share appreciates at least 15% over the applicable Participation Threshold per AO LTIP (as set forth in the table above) for a minimum of 20 consecutive trading days. Under the award agreement, the AO LTIPs have a six-year term from the grant date.
(3)	The Compensation Committee approved a grant of AO LTIPs for the reporting person based on a target dollar value of $2,560,000. The number of AO LTIPs will be determined by dividing the target dollar value by the grant date fair value per AO LTIP Unit; the grant date fair value per AO LTIP Unit is pending appraisal.
