Except as described below, the terms and conditions of all of the exchange offers set forth in the prospectus (as previously supplemented) remain in effect. Capitalized terms used in this prospectus supplement no. 3 have the meanings given them in the prospectus. ------------------------------------------ QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT CHANGES BEING MADE TO THIS OFFER WHAT CHANGES ARE BEING MADE? We are increasing the number of Interests we are seeking in our offer relating to KIM. WHY ARE YOU MAKING THIS CHANGE? We have received more than the number of Interests that we had been seeking in our offer relating to KIM, and we want to be able to accept all of the Interests that have been tendered. HOW DOES THIS CHANGE AFFECT ME? This change means that we will likely not have to apply our proration procedures to this offer. If that is the case, we will be able to accept all of the Interests validly tendered by you. IF I HAVE ALREADY TENDERED MY INTERESTS, DO I HAVE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS CHANGE? No. You do not have to take any action in response to this change. This change should have no effect on any valid tender of your Interests that you have previously made to us. IF I HAVEN'T TENDERED MY INTERESTS YET, CAN I STILL DO SO? Yes. You can still exchange your Interests for our Preferred Shares by completing the Letter of Transmittal that was sent to you with the prospectus. If you need another copy of the Letter of Transmittal, you can get one by calling us at 1-800-255-7877 or by downloading one from our website at www.kruppfunds.com. ARE YOU MAKING ANY OTHER CHANGES TO THIS OFFER? We are also extending the expiration date of our KIM offer to April 17, 2003. Because we are changing the number of Interests we are seeking in this offer, we are required to also extend the expiration date. WHEN CAN I EXPECT TO RECEIVE A CONFIRMATION THAT THE TENDER OF MY INTERESTS HAS BEEN ACCEPTED BY YOU? If we complete the KIM offer, our transfer agent anticipates that it will begin mailing confirmations of acceptances shortly after completion. We currently expect mailing of these confirmations to begin on or about the week of April 21, 2003. ------------------------------------------ INFORMATION ABOUT CHANGES BEING MADE TO THE OFFER We are offering to exchange up to 3,010,941 of our 9% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock as follows: 0.1481 Preferred Share for each Interest 0.1120 Preferred Share for each Interest in GIT in KIP 0.2500 Preferred Share for each Interest 0.0420 Preferred Share for each Interest in GIT II in KIP II 0.0750 Preferred Share for each Interest 0.0717 Preferred Share for each Interest in KIM in KIP III This prospectus supplement contains important information about changes we are making to our offer relating to KIM.
