The Shopping Center Industry
General:
There are several types of retail shopping centers, which are differentiated primarily based on size and marketing strategy. Regional shopping centers generally contain in excess of 400,000 square feet of GLA and are typically anchored by two or more department or large retail stores ("Anchors") and are referred to as "Regional Retail Centers" or "Malls." Regional Retail Centers also typically contain numerous diversified retail stores ("Mall Stores"), most of which are national or regional retailers typically located along corridors connecting the Anchors. "Strip centers", "urban villages" or "specialty centers" ("Community/Power Shopping Centers") are retail shopping centers that are designed to attract local or neighborhood customers and are typically anchored by one or more supermarkets, discount department stores and/or drug stores. Community/Power Shopping Centers typically contain 100,000 to 400,000 square feet of GLA. Outlet Centers generally contain a wide variety of designer and manufacturer stores, often located in an open-air center, and typically range in size from 200,000 to 850,000 square feet of GLA ("Outlet Centers"). In addition, freestanding retail stores are located along the perimeter of the shopping centers ("Freestanding Stores"). Mall Stores and Freestanding Stores over 10,000 square feet of GLA are also referred to as "Big Box." Anchors, Mall Stores, Freestanding Stores and other tenants typically contribute funds for the maintenance of the common areas, property taxes, insurance, advertising and other expenditures related to the operation of the shopping center.
6
Regional Retail Centers:
A Regional Retail Center draws from its trade area by offering a variety of fashion merchandise, hard goods and services and entertainment, often in an enclosed, climate controlled environment with convenient parking. Regional Retail Centers provide an array of retail shops and entertainment facilities and often serve as the town center and a gathering place for community, charity and promotional events.
Regional Retail Centers have generally provided owners with relatively stable income despite the cyclical nature of the retail business. This stability is due both to the diversity of tenants and to the typical dominance of Regional Retail Centers in their trade areas.
Regional Retail Centers have different strategies with regard to price, merchandise offered and tenant mix, and are generally tailored to meet the needs of their trade areas. Anchors are located along common areas in a configuration designed to maximize consumer traffic for the benefit of the Mall Stores. Mall GLA, which generally refers to GLA contiguous to the Anchors for tenants other than Anchors, is leased to a wide variety of smaller retailers. Mall Stores typically account for the majority of the revenues of a Regional Retail Center.
Business of the Company
Strategy:
In the second quarter of 2024, the Company unveiled the Path Forward Plan, which is a multi-pronged strategy to improve the Company’s balance sheet, while also making inward-facing enhancements to both bolster company culture and improve key business processes to gain operating efficiencies. Essential goals of the Path Forward Plan include:
•Deleverage the capital structure, with a focus on reducing the Company’s Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA leverage ratio over the next two to three years;
•Invest in and fortify the Company’s key assets in the portfolio;
•Proactively consolidate selected joint venture assets over time that are core to the Company’s overall strategy;
•Deliver a post-deleveraging Funds From Operations launch point goal over the next two to three years;
•Achieve outstanding operational results through rigorous internal process improvements; and
•Position the Company to take an offensive stance on strategic acquisitions, reinvestment and targeted development.
The Company may achieve these goals through a variety of methods and the timing, extent and impact of any transactions that the Company has or will undertake while implementing the Path Forward Plan may vary and evolve. In order to deleverage its capital structure, the Company may pursue asset dispositions and acquisitions, experience organic growth in EBITDA as tenants in its lease pipeline open for business, be selective about undertaking new development and redevelopment projects, and/or issue common stock. Asset sales will focus on whether a property is core to the Company’s strategy and may include defaulting on certain mortgage debts on the Company’s properties and giving possession of such secured properties to the lender. Additionally, as part of the Path Forward Plan, the Company is targeting for disposition certain outparcels, freestanding retail assets, non-enclosed mall assets and vacant land. The Company also began acquiring properties in June 2025 with the acquisition of Crabtree Mall and will continue to look for other strategic acquisition opportunities that would complement the Company's portfolio.
As a further update to the Company’s Path Forward Plan and to provide a strategic disposition plan that refines the portfolio and creates a more focused platform for growth, the Company identified the following Centers as the go-forward portfolio Centers as of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Go-Forward Portfolio Centers”). The Go-Forward Portfolio Centers are subject to change.

Further, the Company has a long-term four-pronged business strategy that focuses on the acquisition, leasing and management, redevelopment and development of Regional Retail Centers.
Acquisitions. The Company principally focuses on well-located, quality Regional Retail Centers that can be dominant in their trade area and have strong revenue enhancement potential. In addition, the Company pursues other opportunistic acquisitions of property that include retail and will complement the Company's portfolio. The Company subsequently seeks to improve operating performance and returns from these properties through leasing, management and redevelopment. Since its initial public offering, the Company has acquired interests in shopping centers nationwide. The Company believes that it is geographically well positioned to cultivate and maintain ongoing relationships with potential sellers and financial institutions and to act quickly when acquisition opportunities arise.
As part of its implementation of the Path Forward Plan, the Company acquired its joint venture partner's interest in several key assets throughout 2024 that are core to the Company's overall strategy, including Arrowhead Towne Center, South Plains Mall, Lakewood Center, Los Cerritos Center and Washington Square.
Leasing and Management. The Company believes that the shopping center business requires specialized skills across a broad array of disciplines for effective and profitable operations. For this reason, the Company has developed a fully integrated real estate organization with in-house acquisition, accounting, development, finance, information technology, leasing, legal, marketing, property management and redevelopment expertise. In addition, the Company emphasizes a philosophy of decentralized property management, leasing and marketing performed by on-site professionals. The Company believes that this strategy results in the optimal operation, tenant mix and drawing power of each Center, as well as the ability to quickly respond to changing competitive conditions of the Center's trade area.
The Company believes that on-site property managers can most effectively operate the Centers. Each Center's property manager is responsible for overseeing the operations, marketing, maintenance and security functions at the Center. Property managers focus special attention on controlling operating costs, a key element in the profitability of the Centers, and seek to develop strong relationships with, and be responsive to, the needs of retailers.
The Company generally utilizes regionally located leasing managers to better understand the market and the community in which a Center is located. In addition, the Company may utilize third party leasing brokers on a selective basis. The Company continually assesses and fine tunes each Center's tenant mix, identifies and replaces underperforming tenants and seeks to optimize existing tenant sizes and configurations.
On a selective basis, the Company provides property management and leasing services for third parties. The Company currently manages one community center for a third-party owner on a fee basis.
8
Redevelopment. One component of the Company's growth strategy is its ability to redevelop acquired properties. On a selective basis, the Company's business strategy may include mixed-use densification to maximize space at the Company’s Regional Retail Centers, including by developing available land at the Regional Retail Centers or by demolishing underperforming department store boxes and redeveloping the land. For this reason, the Company has built a staff of redevelopment professionals who have primary responsibility for identifying redevelopment opportunities that they believe will result in enhanced long-term financial returns and market position for the Centers. The redevelopment professionals oversee the design and construction of the projects in addition to obtaining required governmental approvals (See "Redevelopment and Development Activities" in Recent Developments).
Development. The Company pursues ground-up development projects on a selective basis. The Company has supplemented its strong acquisition, operations and redevelopment skills with its ground-up development expertise to further increase growth opportunities.
The Company will be very selective in undertaking any future redevelopment or development projects and may choose to pause existing projects if the Company believes they are no longer economically viable.
The Centers:
As of December 31, 2025, the Centers primarily included 37 Regional Retail Centers (including office, hotel and residential space adjacent to these shopping centers) and one Community/Power Shopping Center totaling approximately 39 million square feet of GLA. These 38 Centers average approximately 1,000,000 square feet of GLA and range in size from 3.3 million square feet of GLA at Tysons Corner Center to 205,000 square feet of GLA at Boulevard Shops. As of December 31, 2025, the Centers primarily included 127 Anchors totaling approximately 18.3 million square feet of GLA and approximately 4,600 Mall Stores and Freestanding Stores totaling approximately 19.2 million square feet of GLA.
Competition:
Numerous owners, developers and managers of malls, shopping centers and other retail-oriented real estate compete with the Company for the acquisition of properties and in attracting tenants or Anchors to occupy space. There are other publicly traded mall companies and several large private mall companies in the United States, any of which under certain circumstances could compete against the Company for an Anchor or a tenant. In addition, these companies, as well as other REITs, private real estate companies or investors compete with the Company in terms of property acquisitions. This results in competition both for the acquisition of properties or centers and for tenants or Anchors to occupy space. Competition for property acquisitions may result in increased purchase prices and may adversely affect the Company's ability to make suitable property acquisitions on favorable terms. The existence of competing shopping centers could have a material adverse impact on the Company's ability to lease space and on the level of rents that can be achieved. There is also increasing competition from other retail formats and technologies, such as lifestyle centers, power centers, outlet centers and online retail shopping that could adversely affect the Company's revenues.
In making leasing decisions, the Company believes that retailers consider the following material factors relating to a center: quality, design and location, including consumer demographics; rental rates; type and quality of Anchors and retailers at the center; and management and operational experience and strategy of the center. The Company believes it is able to compete effectively for retail tenants in its local markets based on these criteria in light of the overall size, quality and diversity of its Centers.
Major Tenants:
For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Centers derived approximately 73% of their total rents from Mall Stores and Freestanding Stores under 10,000 square feet and 27% of their total rents from Big Box and Anchor tenants. Total rents as set forth in "Item 1. Business" include minimum rents and percentage rents.

Mall Stores and Freestanding Stores:
Mall Store and Freestanding Store leases generally provide for tenants to pay rent comprised of a base (or "minimum") rent and a percentage rent based on sales. In some cases, tenants pay only minimum rent, and in other cases, tenants pay only percentage rent. The Company generally enters into leases for Mall Stores and Freestanding Stores that also require tenants to pay their pro rata share of property taxes and to pay a stated amount for operating expenses, excluding property taxes, regardless of the expenses the Company actually incurs at any Center. However, certain leases for Mall Stores and Freestanding Stores contain provisions that require tenants to pay their pro rata share of maintenance of the common areas, property taxes, insurance, advertising and other expenditures related to the operations of the Center.
Tenant space of 10,000 square feet and under in the Company's portfolio at December 31, 2025 comprises approximately 60% of all Mall Store and Freestanding Store space. The Company uses tenant spaces of 10,000 square feet and under for comparing rental rate activity because this space is more consistent in terms of shape and configuration and, as such, the Company is able to provide a meaningful comparison of rental rate activity for this space. Mall Store and Freestanding Store space greater than 10,000 square feet is inconsistent in size and configuration throughout the Company's portfolio and as a result does not lend itself to a meaningful comparison of rental rate activity with the Company's other space. Much of the non-Anchor space over 10,000 square feet is not physically connected to the mall, does not share the same common area amenities and does not benefit from the foot traffic in the mall. As a result, space greater than 10,000 square feet has a unique rent structure that is inconsistent with mall space under 10,000 square feet.
Cost of Occupancy:
A major factor contributing to tenant profitability is cost of occupancy, which consists of tenant occupancy costs charged by the Company. Tenant occupancy costs include tenant expenses such as minimum rents, percentage rents and recoverable expenditures, which consist primarily of property operating expenses and real estate taxes. These costs are then compared to tenant sales to present tenant occupancy costs as a percentage of tenant sales. A low cost of occupancy percentage shows more potential capacity for the Company to increase rents at the time of lease renewal than a high cost of occupancy percentage. The following table summarizes occupancy costs for Mall Store and Freestanding Store tenants in the Centers as a percentage of total sales for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023:

Anchors:
Anchors have traditionally been a major factor in the public's identification with Regional Retail Centers. Anchors are generally department stores whose merchandise appeals to a broad range of shoppers. Although the Centers receive a smaller percentage of their operating income from Anchors than from Mall Stores and Freestanding Stores, strong Anchors play an important part in maintaining customer traffic and making the Centers desirable locations for Mall Store and Freestanding Store tenants.
Anchors either own their stores, the land under them and in some cases adjacent parking areas, or enter into long-term leases with an owner at rates that are lower than the rents charged to tenants of Mall Stores and Freestanding Stores. Each Anchor that owns its own store and certain Anchors that lease their stores enter into reciprocal easement agreements with the owner of the Center covering, among other things, operational matters, initial construction and future expansion.
Anchors accounted for approximately 6.9% of the Company's total rents for the year ended December 31, 2025.
