                      [LETTERHEAD OF KENSINGTON INVESTMENT]





                                                   March __, 2000


Dear Fellow Shareholders:

         We are the beneficial owners of 9.6% of the Common Stock of Malan
Realty Investors, Inc. We have been a shareholder since 1995. Over the past year
or so we have grown increasingly dissatisfied with the Company's performance.


         We are particularly dissatisfied with the Board's actions to entrench
itself and its resistance to certain shareholder initiatives which could have
benefited all shareholders. We believe that the Board is only interested in
retaining control of the Company. As a result, we are seeking your support to
elect a new Board of Directors whose interests are more aligned with your
interest as a shareholder.

         The slate of nominees that we are proposing are individuals of
integrity and experience who are committed to enhancing value for all
Shareholders. The election of our slate would provide the Company with a fresh
perspective based on a combined total of over 75 years of real estate asset
management, investment and capital markets experience.

         It is important that your shares be represented and voted at the annual
meeting regardless of the size of your holdings. Whether or not you plan to
attend the annual meeting, please complete, sign, date and return the
accompanying [GOLD] proxy card in the enclosed envelope in order to make certain
that your shares will be represented at the annual meeting.

         If you also believe it is time for a change, please mark, sign, date,
and mail the enclosed [gold] proxy card. If you have already returned the proxy
card sent to you by the company, you may revoke that proxy and vote for our
nominees by marking, signing, dating, and mailing a later dated [gold] proxy
card.

         If you have any questions or comments, please contact our proxy
solicitors, [_____________________________________].

         Thank you for your consideration of this matter.



                                     Sincerely yours,


                                     KENSINGTON  INVESTMENT GROUP, INC.

                       2000 ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS


                                  INTRODUCTION

         This Proxy Statement (the "Proxy Statement") and the accompanying form
of Proxy are being furnished by Kensington Investment Group, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("Kensington"), to the owners of shares of Common Stock of Malan
Realty Investors, Inc. (the "Company"), on or about March __, 2000, in
connection with the solicitation by Kensington of proxies to be voted at the
Company's 2000 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the "Annual Meeting"). The
Company has announced that the Annual Meeting will be held on May 10, 2000, at
the Community House, 380 South Bates Street, Birmingham, Michigan at 10:00 a.m.,
local time.

         Kensington is soliciting proxies from the holders of shares of Common
Stock in order to elect the following individuals (collectively, the "Kensington
Nominees") to the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") at the Annual
Meeting: Paul Gray, Jill Holup, John P. Kramer, Jeffrey Lewis, and Andrew
Miller. If elected, the Kensington Nominees will constitute the entire Board.
Kensington is proposing a slate of nominees for the Board because it believes a
new Board with a new perspective is needed to enhance Shareholder value.



    YOU WILL SOON RECEIVE A PROXY CARD FROM THE COMPANY. PLEASE RETURN ONLY
 KENSINGTON'S [GOLD] PROXY CARD AND DO NOT RETURN ANY COMPANY PROXY CARD UNDER
 ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. IF YOU RETURN BOTH PROXY CARDS THERE IS A DANGER THAT YOUR
SHARES WILL NOT BE VOTED AS YOU DESIRE, BECAUSE ONLY THE LATEST DATED PROXY CARD
YOU SUBMIT COUNTS.

REASONS FOR THE SOLICITATION

         Kensington is asking Shareholders to elect the five Kensington Nominees
to replace the current Board. As one of the Company's largest Shareholders,
Kensington has become dissatisfied with the Company's performance and is seeking
to elect a new slate of nominees to the Board.

         Below we have summarized why we think it is time to have a new Board in
place.

o    THE CURRENT BOARD'S ACTIONS ARE HOSTILE TOWARDS THE SHAREHOLDERS

         Kensington believes that the incumbent Board's actions over the past
year have been directed against the Shareholders of the Company.

         JANUARY, 1999. THE BOARD ADOPTED A "POISON PILL". After a 21% decline
in the price of the stock (from July 15, 1998 to January 15, 1999) the Board of
Directors adopted a "Poison Pill". Poison Pills have the effect of causing a
substantial dilution of ownership to any person or group that attempts to
acquire a significant number of shares in the Company without the prior
permission of the Board. Kensington believes that in the hands of the current
Board the Poison Pill serves to protect management from direct Shareholder
accountability. Kensington believes the adoption of the "Poison Pill" hurt all
Shareholders in the Company because it shows that management and the Board are
more interested in entrenching themselves and maintaining control of the Company
than in working to increase value for all Shareholders.

         SPRING, 1999. ATTEMPT TO STAGGER THE BOARD. The Board tried to have the
Shareholders approve a "Staggered Board" at the 1999 Annual Meeting. Under a
Staggered Board, only one-third of the directors are elected at each annual
meeting. In its draft proxy statement, the Company admitted that a Staggered
Board would make it more difficult to replace a majority of the Board, even if
shareholders desire such a change. The Board eventually withdrew the Staggered
Board proposal after Shareholders expressed their concerns about it. Although
the Staggered Board proposal was eventually withdrawn, Kensington views its
inclusion in the Company's 1999 proxy statement as another example of the
Board's desire to entrench itself and maintain control of the Company rather
than work to increase value for all Shareholders.

         FALL, 1999. HOSTILE BEHAVIOR TOWARD MAJOR SHAREHOLDER. Based on
Securities and Exchange Commission filings, Kensington believes that the Company
engaged in highly aggressive actions against a large shareholder named Peter T.
Kross near the end of 1999.

         The specific actions of the Company are discussed below, but Kensington
sees this behavior as another example of the Board's desire to entrench itself
and maintain control of the Company rather than work to increase value for all
Shareholders.

         According to SEC filings, Mr. Kross was and remains the beneficial
owner of 9.0% of the Common Stock. In August, 1999 this Shareholder met with
management to encourage the Company to explore different strategies for
maximizing Shareholder value and requested that the Company add either himself
or his representative to the Board. On September 14, 1999, Mr. Kross met with
the Board to discuss his qualifications for membership on the Board.

         However, just prior to the September 14th meeting, the Board held a
special meeting on September 7, 1999, in order to take steps to limit
Shareholder action by amending the Company's By-Laws with respect to special
meetings, shareholder proposals and nomination of Directors. The amended By-Laws
set forth new procedural requirements for Shareholder proposals and nominations
as well as limit the ability to call a special meeting of Shareholders to those
Shareholders who are record holders of


                                       2

<PAGE>   5


shares of at least fifty-one percent (as opposed to twenty-five percent under
the Company's previous By-Laws) of Common Stock. The Board did not disclose
these By-Laws changes until after its meeting with Mr. Kross.

         In November, Mr. Kross informed the Company of his intention to run a
full slate of five Director nominees for the Annual Meeting and formally
withdrew his request for appointment to the Board. In response, the Company sent
a letter to the parent corporation of Mr. Kross' employer. The letter referred
to the close banking relationship between the Company and another of the parent
corporation's subsidiaries and asked that Mr. Kross' actions be reviewed. Mr.
Kross' employer investigated and found no improper conduct. However, the
employer asked Mr. Kross to not seek or accept a Board position, and to not
nominate any other candidate for a Board position. In response, Mr. Kross stated
that he no longer intended to nominate a slate of directors for the Board.
Kensington hopes that the Board does not intend to take similar actions against
Shareholders who attempt to exercise their shareholder rights.

         MARCH, 2000. DENIAL OF KENSINGTON'S REQUEST FOR MEANINGFUL INPUT. On
March 3, 2000, Kensington requested representation on the Board in order to have
direct input into the Board's current deliberations to enhance Shareholder
value. After discussions with Kensington, the Company rejected Kensington's
request but did offer to increase the size of the Board by one director and to
elect a Kensington designee. It is Kensington's view, that this response did not
adequately satisfy our request as the single largest Shareholder of the Company
to have greater input into the Company's plans.


o    THE BOARD'S STRATEGY IS NOT WORKING

         PRUDENTIAL HAS BEEN RETAINED TO EVALUATE STRATEGIC ALTERNATIVES. On
December 20, 1999, the Company announced that it has been conducting a
comprehensive review of its strategy and operations. The goal of this review was
to identify and analyze various means of enhancing Shareholder value. The
Company announced that since the summer of 1999 Prudential Securities
Incorporated has been working with the Company and had been retained as
financial advisor.

         BUT NOTHING HAS HAPPENED. It appears that the Company has been working
with Prudential for more than nine months to enhance Shareholder value, and yet
since this activity began in "late summer" the Company's share price has gone
down. The Company's stock continues to trade at what Kensington believes are
disappointing values.

         THE KENSINGTON NOMINEES WILL REINVIGORATE THE PROCESS AND PROTECT
SHAREHOLDER VALUE. Kensington believes that a new perspective is needed on the
Board to reinvigorate the process of enhancing shareholder value and to ensure
that any strategic transactions are undertaken in the best interest of all
Shareholders.


o    THE KENSINGTON NOMINEES HAVE THE EXPERIENCE THE COMPANY NEEDS

         The Kensington Nominees are individuals of integrity who combined have
over 75 years of experience in the real estate industry. The Kensington Nominees
have been carefully chosen for their depth of experience in the real estate
business. They are highly accomplished executives who are well-experienced at
asset management, investment decision making, and capital markets activities.
They are capable of thoroughly understanding and directing the Company's
business.

         The Kensington Nominees are committed to enhancing value for all
Shareholders. If elected, they will embark on a strategy designed to focus
management on realizing the benefits of the current business and exploring and
evaluating alternatives for the Company.

         Based upon reports contained in the Company's SEC filings, the three
senior executives of the Company have "change of control" golden parachute
contracts. These golden parachutes purport to grant the executives health
insurance for their entire lives and a cash payment payable 5 days after a
change in control as follows: Anthony Gramer -- $1,000,000; Michael Kaline --
$500,000; and Elliott Broderick -- $250,000. The golden parachutes purport to
define a change in control as including the election of the Kensington Nominees.
The executives would be entitled to the golden parachute payments whether they
leave the Company voluntarily, whether they are terminated by the new Board or
whether they remain employees and continue in their positions. Kensington
expects the Kensington Nominees to evaluate the propriety and legality of these
golden parachute and take any actions they deem necessary to protect the
interests of the Company and its Shareholders.

         KENSINGTON STRONGLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE FOR THE KENSINGTON
NOMINEES BY MARKING, SIGNING, DATING AND MAILING THE ENCLOSED [GOLD] PROXY CARD
PROMPTLY IN THE ENVELOPE PROVIDED.

         HOLDERS OF RECORD OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK AS OF MARCH 17, 2000, THE
RECORD DATE FOR VOTING AT THE MEETING, ARE URGED TO SUBMIT A [GOLD] PROXY CARD
EVEN IF YOUR SHARES HAVE BEEN SOLD AFTER THE RECORD DATE.

         IF YOU HAVE PURCHASED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK AFTER THE RECORD DATE AND
WISH TO VOTE SUCH SHARES AT THE MEETING, YOU SHOULD SEEK TO OBTAIN A PROXY FROM
THE SELLER OF SUCH SHARES.

         IF YOUR SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ARE HELD IN THE NAME OF A BROKERAGE
FIRM, BANK OR NOMINEE ON THE RECORD DATE, ONLY IT CAN VOTE YOUR SHARES AND ONLY
UPON RECEIPT OF YOUR SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS. PLEASE CONTACT THE PERSON
RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR ACCOUNT AND GIVE INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR SHARES TO BE VOTED
ON THE [GOLD] PROXY CARD.

VOTING

         The Board has fixed the close of business on March 17, 2000 as the
record date for the determination of the holders of Common Stock entitled to
notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. On such date, there were
[__________] shares of Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the
Annual Meeting. On all matters, including the election of Directors, each holder
of Common Stock will have one vote for each share held.

         The attendance at the Annual Meeting, in person or by proxy, of the
holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote
at the Annual Meeting is necessary to constitute a quorum. "Broker non-votes"
will be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum.
Similarly, a proxy marked "abstain" with respect to any matter will not be voted
but will be counted as present. The affirmative vote of the holders of a
plurality of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting is



                                       4
<PAGE>   7


required for the election of Directors. A properly signed Proxy marked "withhold
authority" with respect to the election of one or more Directors will not be
voted for the Directors so indicated, but will be counted to determine whether
there is a quorum. The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the
Annual Meeting will be necessary to ratify the appointment of Deloitte & Touche
LLP as the Company's independent auditors for 2000. If any other matter properly
comes before the Annual Meeting, its resolution will be determined by the
affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of votes cast at the meeting.
Since the election of Directors and the ratification of the appointment of
auditors will be determined by votes cast rather than by a percentage of the
shares present, "broker non-votes" and abstentions will not affect the election
of Directors or the ratification of auditors.

         If the enclosed form of Proxy is executed and returned, it may
nevertheless be revoked by the person giving it any time before the vote at the
Annual Meeting either by filing with the Secretary of the Company a written
notice of revocation or a proxy bearing a later date than the most recently
submitted proxy or by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person. The
execution of a proxy will not affect a Shareholder's right to attend the Annual
Meeting and vote in person, but attendance at the Annual Meeting will not, by
itself, revoke a proxy.

         Unless contrary instructions are indicated on the enclosed [GOLD]
Proxy, all shares of Common Stock represented by valid Proxies received pursuant
to this solicitation (which have not been revoked as described above) will be
voted (a) FOR the election of the Kensington Nominees, (b) FOR the ratification
of the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company's independent auditors
for 2000 and (c) at the discretion of the Proxy holder(s), on such other
business as may properly come before the Annual Meeting, including any
adjournment(s) or postponements(s) thereof.


         IF YOU WISH TO VOTE FOR THE KENSINGTON NOMINEES, YOU MUST SUBMIT THE
ENCLOSED [GOLD] PROXY CARD AND SHOULD NOT SUBMIT THE COMPANY'S PROXY CARD.


- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     YOUR VOTE AT THIS YEAR'S ANNUAL MEETING IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT. PLEASE
   SIGN AND DATE THE ENCLOSED [GOLD] PROXY CARD AND RETURN IT IN THE ENCLOSED
                               ENVELOPE PROMPTLY.

         The Amended and Restated By-Laws of the Company (the "By-Laws") provide

resignation or removal.
