            separate transactions with the Westfield Group (&ldquo;Westfield&rdquo;) on October 16,
            2007, involving four malls located in the St. Louis, MO area. In the first transaction,
            Westfield contributed three malls to CW Joint Venture, LLC (&ldquo;the JV&rdquo;), a
            CBL-controlled joint venture, and CBL contributed six malls and three associated
            centers.&nbsp;</font> <font size="2">In the second transaction, CBL directly acquired
            the fourth mall, Chesterfield Mall, from Westfield.</font> <font size="2">The total
            value of the three malls contributed to the JV by Westfield plus the mall that was
            directly acquired by CBL is approximately $1.03 billion. CBL, either independently or
            through the JV, assumed total debt of approximately $458.2 million with a weighted
            average fixed interest rate of 5.73% secured by the four Westfield malls and paid
            approximately $161.8 million in cash, excluding closing costs. In addition, Westfield
            received approximately $404.1 million of perpetual preferred joint venture units
            (&ldquo;PJV units&rdquo;) of the JV.</font></p>

            units following the fifth anniversary of the closing at liquidation value, plus accrued
            and unpaid distributions. CBL is responsible for management and leasing of the
            JV&rsquo;s properties and owns all of the common units of the JV, entitling it to
            receive 100% of the JV&rsquo;s cash flow after operating expenses, PJV unit
            distributions and debt service payments.</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt;text-align:justify;line-height:120%;'><font size=2>CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (October 17, 2007) &#150; CBL &amp; Associates Properties, Inc. (NYSE: CBL) today announced that it has closed on two separate transactions with The Westfield Group involving four St. Louis area regional malls valued at an aggregate $1.03 billion.  In the first transaction, CBL gained economic control of three malls including West County Center, Des Peres, MO, South County Center, Mehlville, MO, and Mid-Rivers Mall, St. Peters, MO.  In the second transaction, CBL acquired Chesterfield Mall located in Chesterfield, MO from The Westfield Group.  CBL will be responsible for all management, leasing and future development at the four centers. </font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt;text-align:justify;line-height:120%;'><font size=2>CBL&#146;s President, Stephen Lebovitz, commented,  &#147;The completion of these transactions will expand our presence in the vibrant and dynamic St. Louis market by adding four top regional malls along with our existing center, St. Clair Square.  The centers are well located, with each respective trade area providing above-average business, population and income growth trends.  In addition, each mall offers numerous opportunities for near and long-term value creation with leasing, development, and management plans already in progress.  With such strong profiles, we expect these malls to make a solid contribution to CBL&#146;s future growth.&#148;</font></p>
