Developers Diversified Realty Corporation (NYSE: DDR), the nation's leading owner, manager and developer of market-dominant shopping centers, today reported operating results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2009.

--  FFO applicable to common shareholders for the three-month period ended
    March 31, 2009 was $140.0 million or $1.08 per diluted share which compares
    to restated FFO of $96.3 million or $0.80 per diluted share for the prior-
    year comparable period.  Net income applicable to common shareholders for
    the three-month period ended March 31, 2009 was $76.8 million or $0.59 per
    diluted share which compares to restated net income of $29.6 million or
    $0.25 per diluted share for the prior-year comparable period.  The 2008
    amounts have been restated to reflect the change in accounting relating to
    convertible debt which is discussed in more detail later in this release.

--  After adjusting for the gain on repurchase of unsecured notes and
    impairment-related charges associated with assets marketed for sale
    aggregating $55 million, as summarized below (in millions), the Company's
    FFO applicable to common shareholders for the three-month period ended
    March 31, 2009 was $85.0 million or $0.66 per share.
    

Gain on repurchase of unsecured notes                              $  72.6
Consolidated non-cash impairment charges                             (10.9)
Loss on disposition of joint venture investment                       (5.8)
Non-cash impairment charge on equity method investment                (0.9)
                                                                   -------
                                                                   $  55.0
                                                                   =======

--  Executed leases during the first quarter totaled approximately 1.9
    million square feet, including 124 new leases and 227 renewals.

--  On a cash basis, base rental rates decreased 0.6% on new leases,
    increased 0.9% on renewals and increased 0.6% overall.

--  Core portfolio leased percentage at March 31, 2009 was 90.7%.

--  Same store net operating income ("NOI") for the quarter decreased 2.2%
    over the prior-year comparable period.  The decrease in same store NOI is
    primarily related to the bankruptcies and subsequent store closings of
    Linens 'n Things, Goody's, Steve & Barry's and Circuit City.
    

Scott A. Wolstein, Developers Diversified's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Despite the challenging macro environment, we are pleased with our first quarter 2009 operating results which came in as expected. We executed nearly 2 million square feet of leases, and are making headway in leasing space that we have recently recaptured from retailer bankruptcies."

"Lowering leverage and enhancing liquidity continue to be our key areas of focus. With overwhelming shareholder approval of the equity investment by the Otto family, we look forward to closing that transaction in the coming weeks, and aggressively moving forward with our other leverage reducing initiatives."

Financial Results:

Net income applicable to common shareholders was $76.8 million, or $0.59 per share (diluted and basic), for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009, as compared to restated net income of $29.6 million, or $0.25 per share (diluted and basic), for the prior-year comparable period.

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2009, FFO per share was $1.08 (diluted and basic) compared to restated FFO of $0.80 (diluted and basic) for the prior-year comparable period. FFO applicable to common shareholders was $140.0 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009, as compared to restated FFO of $96.3 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008.

FFO is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measurement used as a standard in the real estate industry and a widely accepted measure of real estate investment trust ("REIT") performance. Management believes that FFO provides an additional indicator of the financial performance of a REIT. The Company also believes that FFO more appropriately measures the core operations of the Company and provides a benchmark to its peer group. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs and should not be considered as an alternative to net income computed in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of the Company's operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. FFO is defined and calculated by the Company as net income, adjusted to exclude: (i) preferred share dividends, (ii) gains from disposition of depreciable real estate property, except for those sold through the Company's merchant building program, which are presented net of taxes, (iii) extraordinary items and (iv) certain non-cash items. These non-cash items principally include real property depreciation and amortization of intangibles, equity income from joint ventures and equity income from minority equity investments and adding the Company's proportionate share of FFO from its unconsolidated joint ventures and minority equity investments, determined on a consistent basis. Other real estate companies may calculate FFO in a different manner. A reconciliation of net income to FFO is presented in the financial highlights section.

Leasing:

The following results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009 highlight continued strong leasing activity throughout the portfolio despite the current economic environment:

--  Executed 124 new leases aggregating approximately 0.6 million square
    feet and 227 renewals aggregating approximately 1.3 million square feet.

--  On a cash basis, rental rates on new leases decreased 0.6% and rental
    rates on renewals increased 0.9%.  Overall, rental rates for new leases and
    renewals increased 0.6%.

--  Total portfolio average annualized base rent per occupied square foot,
    excluding assets in Brazil, as of March 31, 2009 was $12.45, as compared to
    $12.38 at March 31, 2008.

--  Core portfolio leased rate was 90.7% as of March 31, 2009, as compared
    to 95.6% at March 31, 2008.
    

Total annual recurring leasing capital expenditures for the Company and its joint ventures are estimated to be approximately $32 million ($0.27 per square foot of owned GLA) in 2009 calculated based on 100% of the funding.

Strategic Transactions:

On February 23, 2009, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement (the "Stock Purchase Agreement") with Mr. Alexander Otto (the "Investor") to issue and sell 30 million common shares for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $112.5 million. In addition, the Company will issue warrants to purchase up to 10 million common shares with an exercise price of $6.00 per share to the Investor and certain members of his family (collectively with the Investor, the "Otto Family"). In April 2009, the Company's shareholders approved the sale of the common shares and warrants to the Investor. The transaction is expected to occur in two closings each consisting of 15 million common shares and warrants to purchase up to 5 million common shares, the first of which is expected to occur in the next several weeks upon the satisfaction of certain closing conditions and will generate estimated gross equity proceeds of approximately $52.5 million.

In March 2009, the Company entered into a secured bridge loan agreement with an affiliate of the Investor for $60 million (the "Bridge Loan"). The Bridge Loan bears interest at a rate of 10.0% per annum for a term maturing on the earlier of the initial closing date of the common share issuance to the Investor, the 90th day after the termination of the Stock Purchase Agreement or September 15, 2009. It is expected that the Bridge Loan will be repaid with proceeds from a $60 million five-year secured loan, which will bear a 9.0% interest rate, and obtained from an affiliate of the Investor concurrent with the first closing of the common shares and warrants discussed above.

Dispositions:

The Company and its joint ventures sold seven properties, aggregating 0.7 million square feet in the first quarter of 2009 generating gross proceeds of $67.4 million.

Wholly-Owned and Consolidated Joint Venture Development:

The Company currently has the following wholly-owned and consolidated joint venture shopping center projects under construction:

Dividends:

The Company's first quarter dividend was paid in a combination of cash and the Company's common shares. The aggregate amount of cash paid to shareholders on April 21, 2009, was limited to 10% of the total dividend paid. The Company issued 8.3 million common shares based on volume weighted average trading prices of $2.80 per share and paid $2.6 million in cash. This new payout initiative is a part of the Company's strategy to further enhance liquidity and maximize free cash flow while continuing to maintain its REIT status.

Financings:

In the first quarter of 2009, the Company purchased approximately $163.5 million face amount of its outstanding senior notes at a discount to par resulting in a gross gain of approximately $80.1 million. This gain was reduced by approximately $7.5 million due to the adoption of FSP APB 14-1, "Accounting for Convertible Debt That May Be Settled in Cash Upon Conversion" ("Convertible Debt Restatement"), in the first quarter of 2009. This standard requires that debt issuers separately recognize the liability and equity components of convertible instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion. As a result of the adoption, the initial debt proceeds from the offering of the Company's $250 million 3.5% convertible notes, due in 2011, and $600 million 3.0% convertible notes, due in 2012, were required to be allocated between a liability and equity component. This allocation was based upon what the assumed interest rate would have been if the Company had issued traditional senior unsecured notes. Accordingly, the debt balances on the Company's balance sheet relating to the convertible debt were reduced such that non-cash interest expense would be recognized with a corresponding increase to the convertible debt balance to reflect the higher interest rate referred to above.

As discussed under Strategic Transactions, the Company entered into a $60 million secured Bridge Loan with an affiliate of the Otto Family. As indicated in our April 14, 2009 press release, we currently expect the first tranche of 15 million common shares to be sold to the Otto Family within the next several weeks which will be concurrent with our closing on more than $120 million of new debt financing separate and apart from the secured term loan obtained from the Investor affiliate. The Company has obtained commitments for new loans well in excess of the $112.5 million required as a condition of the first equity closing.

The Company also extended three mortgage loans for an additional term ranging between six and twelve months at the existing rates aggregating approximately $30 million.

Developers Diversified Realty Corporation is a self-administered and self-managed REIT operating as a fully integrated real estate company which acquires, develops, leases and manages shopping centers.

    shareholders.  The Company no longer has a line item in its balance sheet
    referred to as Minority Interests.  Shareholders' equity at December 31,
    2008 has been restated to include $120.1 million attributable to non-
