Item 8.01 Other Events.

On June 29, 2026, Kite Realty Group, L.P. (the “Issuer”), the operating partnership through which Kite Realty Group Trust (the “Company”) holds substantially all of its assets and conducts substantially all of its activities, launched an offering (the “Offering”) of $300 million aggregate principal amount of exchangeable senior notes due 2032 (the “Notes”) in a private placement to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”). The Notes will be exchangeable into cash up to the principal amount of the Notes exchanged and, if applicable, cash or common shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Common Shares”) or a combination thereof. On June 29, 2026, the Company and the Issuer issued a press release pursuant to Rule 135c under the Securities Act regarding commencement of the Offering. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

In connection with the pricing of the Notes, the Issuer expects to enter into one or more privately negotiated capped call transactions with certain of the initial purchasers or their respective affiliates or other financial institutions as option counterparties (the “Option Counterparties”). The capped call transactions will cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the Notes, the number of Common Shares underlying the Notes. If the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional Notes, the Issuer expects to enter into additional capped call transactions with the Option Counterparties. The capped call transactions are generally expected to reduce the potential dilution to the Common Shares upon any exchange of the Notes and/or offset any cash payments the Issuer is required to make in excess of the principal amount of such exchanged Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap.

The capped call transactions are separate transactions, are not part of the terms of the Notes, and will not change the holders’ rights under the Notes. Holders will not have any rights with respect to the capped call transactions.

The information included in this Current Report is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities.
