Brixmor Property Group Inc. announced that certain selling stockholders affiliated with Blackstone Real Estate Partners have commenced a secondary offering of 17,500,000 shares of Brixmor's common stock.

Brixmor is not offering any shares of common stock in the offering and will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares in this offering. In addition, none of Brixmor's officers or directors is selling any shares of common stock in the offering. J.P. Morgan and Citigroup are serving as joint book-running managers for the offering.
