This work is devoted to establish the extremal inertias ofthe two submatrices $X_{1}$ and $X_{4}$ in a Hermitian least rank solution $X$of the matrix equation $AXA^{*}=B$. From these formulas, necessary andsufficient conditions for these submatrices to be positive (nonpositive,negative, nonnegative) definite are achieved.
