TENDER OFFER

This Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO relates to the offer (the “Offer”) by Lapis Investment Business Trust (the “Purchasers”) to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of common stock (the “Shares”) in Inland American Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. (the “Corporation”), the subject company, at a purchase price equal to $4 per Share, less the amount of any dividends declared or made with respect to the Shares between December 15, 2010 (the “Offer Date”) and January 31, 2011 or such other date to which this Offer may be extended (the “Expiration Date”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated December 15, 2010 (the “Offer to Purchase”) and the related Assignment Form, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits (a)(1) and (a)(2), respectively. As noted above, the Offer price would be subject to reduction for dividends made or declared prior to the Expiration Date. Any dividends made or declared after the Expiration Date, by the terms of the Offer and as set forth in the Assignment Form, would be assigned by tendering Shareholders to the Purchasers.

In the event of a price reduction resulting from a Corporation dividend declared or made after the Offer Date and before the Expiration Date, as described above, the Purchasers will file an amendment to this Schedule TO reflecting such reduction and will, to the extent necessary, extend the Expiration Date to assure there is a minimum ten business day period following the amendment before the Offer expires. Tender of Shares will include the tender of any and all securities into which the Shares may be converted and any securities distributed with respect to the Shares from and after the Offer Date. Purchasers are entitled to all proceeds that are paid on or after the Expiration Date from or as a result of any claim, litigation, class or derivative action brought by or for the benefit of the tendering Shareholders with respect to the transferred Shares, regardless of when the claims asserted and such action accrued.

The Corporation had 186,656 holders of record owning an aggregate of 836,594,689 Shares as of March 10, 2010, according to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009. The Purchasers and their affiliates currently beneficially own approximately 162,000 Shares, or 0.02% of the outstanding Shares. The 1,000,000 Shares subject to the Offer constitute 0.12% of the outstanding Shares. Consummation of the Offer, if all Shares sought are tendered, would require payment by the Purchasers of up to $4,000,000 in aggregate purchase price, which the Purchasers intend to fund out of their current working capital.

The address of the Corporation’s principal executive offices is 2901 Butterfield Road, Oak Brook, Illinois, 60523, and its phone number is 630-218-8000.
