Ladies and Gentlemen:
Reference is hereby made to the Sales Agency Financing Agreement, dated December 20, 2019 (the “Sales Agreement”), by and between EastGroup Properties, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”) and [NAME OF COVERED AGENT] (the “Covered Agent”), pursuant to which the Company proposed to issue and sell from time to time through or to the Covered Agent, or through or to [NAME OF OTHER COVERED AGENTS], with which the Company entered into separate sales agency financing agreements, dated December 20, 2019 (collectively, together with the Sales Agreement, the “Sales Agency Agreements”), pursuant to the terms of the Sales Agency Agreements, shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Shares”), having an aggregate offering price of up to $750,000,000 (the “ATM Program”).
