CLEARWATER, Fla. -- American Land Lease, Inc. (OTCBB: ANLDP) (the "Company") announced today that the Company's Board of Directors determined not to declare a quarterly cash dividend on its 7.75% Series A Preferred Shares, which quarterly cash dividend would otherwise have been payable on November 30, 2009. The Board's decision was based on the Company's current capital resources and liquidity needs and the overall negative state of the economy and capital markets.
