This report combines the annual reports on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20192021 of Kite Realty Group Trust, Kite Realty Group, L.P. and its subsidiaries. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to “Kite Realty Group Trust” or the “Parent Company” mean Kite Realty Group Trust, and references to the “Operating Partnership” mean Kite Realty Group, L.P. and its consolidated subsidiaries. The terms “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership collectively, and those entities owned or controlled by the Parent Company and/or the Operating Partnership.
The Operating Partnership is engaged in the ownership, operation, acquisition, development and redevelopment of high-quality, neighborhoodopen-air shopping centers and community shopping centersmixed-use assets in select markets in the United States.States, and the Parent Company conducts substantially all of its activities through the Operating Partnership and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The Parent Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and as of December 31, 20192021 owned approximately 97.5%98.9% of the common partnership interests in the Operating Partnership (“General Partner Units”). The remaining 2.5%1.1% of the common partnership interests (“Limited Partner Units” and, together with the General Partner Units, the “Common Units”) are owned by the limited partners.
We believe combining the annual reports on Form 10-K of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership into this single report benefits investors by:
We believe it is important to understand the few differences between the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership in the context of how we operate as an interrelated consolidated company. The Parent Company has no material assets or liabilities other than its investment in the Operating Partnership. The Parent Company issues public equity from time to time but does not have any indebtedness as all debt is incurred by the Operating Partnership. In addition, the Parent Company currently does not nor does it intend to guarantee any debt of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership has numerous wholly-ownedwholly owned subsidiaries, and it also owns interests in certain joint ventures. These subsidiaries and joint ventures own and operate retail shopping centers and other real estate assets. The Operating Partnership is structured as a partnership with no publicly-tradedpublicly traded equity. Except for net proceeds from equity issuances by the Parent Company, which are contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for General Partner Units, the Operating Partnership generates the capital required by the business through its operations, its incurrence of indebtedness and the issuance of Limited Partner Units to third parties.
Shareholders’ equity and partners’ capital are the main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of the Parent Company and those of the Operating Partnership. In order to highlight this and other differences between the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, there are separate sections in this report, as applicable, that separately discuss the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, including separate financial statements and separate Exhibit 31 and 32 certifications. In the sections that combine disclosure of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, this report refers to actions or holdings as being actions or holdings of the collective Company.
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Our primary business objectives are to increase the cash flow and value of our properties, achieve sustainable long-term growth and maximize shareholder value primarily through the ownership, and operation, acquisition, development and redevelopment of high-quality, neighborhoodopen-air shopping centers and community shopping centers.mixed-used assets. We invest in properties with well-located real estate and strong demographics, and we use our leasing and management strategies to improve the long-term valuesvalue and economic returns of our properties. We believe that certain of our properties represent attractive opportunities for profitable redevelopment, renovation, densification, and expansion.
We seek to implement our business objectives through the following strategies, each of which is more completely described in the sections that follow:
We maintain an investment grade credit rating that we expect will continue to enable us to opportunistically access the public unsecured bond market and will allow us to lower our cost of capital and provide greater flexibility in managing the acquisition and disposition of assets in our operating portfolio.
We intend to continue implementing our financing and capital strategies in a number of ways, which may include one or more of the following actions:
Growth Strategy. Our growth strategy includes the selective deployment of financial resources to projects that are expected to generate investment returns that meet or exceed our internal benchmarks. We implement our growth strategy in a number of ways, including:
•continually evaluating our operating properties for redevelopment and renovation opportunities that we believe will make them more attractive for leasing to new tenants, right-sizing of anchor spaces while increasing rental rates, and re-leasing spaces to existing tenants at increased rental rates;
•completion of our eight active development and redevelopment projects;
•evaluation of the entitled land holdings to determine the optimal real estate use and capital allocation decisions;
•disposing of selected assets that no longer meet our long-term investment criteria and recycling the net proceeds into properties that provide attractive returns and rent growth potential in targeted markets or using the proceeds to repay debt, thereby reducing our leverage; and
•selectively pursuing the acquisition of retail operating properties, portfolios and companies in markets with strong demographics.
In evaluating opportunities for potential acquisition, development, redevelopment and disposition, we consider a number of factors, including:
•the expected returns and related risks associated with the investments relative to our weighted cost of capital to make such investments;
•the current and projected cash flow and market value of the property and the potential to increase cash flow and market value if the property were to be successfully re-leased or redeveloped;
•the price being offered for the property, the current and projected operating performance of the property, the tax consequences of the transaction, and other related factors;
•opportunities for strengthening the tenant mix at our properties through the placement of anchor tenants such as grocers, value retailers, grocers, soft goodshardware stores, theaters, or sporting goods retailers, as well as further enhancing a diverse tenant mix that includes restaurants, specialty shops, serviceand other essential retailers such as banks, dry cleaners and hair salons, and shoe and clothing retailers, some of whichthat provide staple goods to the community and offer a high level of convenience;
•the geographic location and configuration of the property, including ease of access, availability of parking, visibility, and the demographics of the surrounding area; and
•the level of success of existing properties in the same or nearby markets.
Competition
We successfully executed our growth strategy in 2021 with the completion of our transformative Merger with RPAI. The transaction created a top five shopping center real estate investment trust (“REIT”) based upon enterprise value, enhanced our portfolio quality with entry into strategic gateway markets and bolstered our presence in existing markets, lowered our cost of capital, enhanced our near-term organic growth through lease-up and select development opportunities, and strengthened our balance sheet with limited near-term debt maturities.
Competition
The United StatesU.S. commercial real estate market continues to be highly competitive. We face competition from other REITs, including other retail REITs, and other owner-operators engaged in the ownership, leasing, acquisition, and development of shopping centers as well as from numerous local, regional and national real estate developers and owners in each of our markets. Some of these competitors may have greater capital resources than we do, although we do not believe that any single competitor or group of competitors is dominant in any of the markets in which we own properties.
We face significant competition in our efforts to lease available space to prospective tenants at our operating, development and redevelopment properties. The nature of the competition for tenants varies based on the characteristics of each local market in which we own properties. We believe that the principal competitive factors in attracting tenants in our market areas are location, demographics, rental rates, the presence of anchor stores, competitor shopping centers in the same geographic area and the maintenance, appearance, access and traffic patterns of our properties. There can be no assurance in the future that we will be able to compete successfully with our competitors in our development, acquisition and leasing activities.
Government Regulation
We and our properties are subject to a variety of federal, state, and local environmental, health, safety and similar laws, including:
Americans with Disabilities Act.Act and Other Regulations. Our properties must comply with Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (the "ADA"“ADA”), to the extent that such properties are public accommodations as defined by the ADA. The ADA may require removal of
structural barriers to access by persons with disabilities in certain public areas of our properties where such removal is readily achievable. We believe our properties are in substantial compliance with the ADA and that we will not be required to make substantial capital expenditures to address the requirements of the ADA. However, noncompliance with the ADA could result in orders requiring us to spend substantial sums to cure violations, pay attorneys'attorneys’ fees, or pay other amounts. The obligation to make readily accessible accommodations is an ongoing one, and we will continue to assess our properties and make alterations as appropriate in this respect.
In addition, our properties are subject to fire and safety regulations, building codes and other land use regulations.
Affordable Care Act. We may be subject to excise taxes under the employer mandate provisions of the Affordable Care Act ("ACA"(the “ACA”) if we (i) do not offer health care coverage to substantially all of our full-time employees and their dependents or (ii) do not offer health care coverage that meets the ACA'sACA’s affordability and minimum value standards. The excise tax is based on the number of full-time employees. We do not anticipate being subject to a penalty under the ACA; however, even in the event that we are, any such penalty would be less than $0.3$1.0 million, as we had 133241 full-time employees as of December 31, 2019. 2021.
Environmental Regulations. Some properties in our portfolio contain, may have contained or are adjacent to or near other properties that have contained or currently contain underground storage tanks for petroleum products or other hazardous or toxic substances. These storage tanks may have released, or have the potential to release, such substances into the environment.
In addition, some of our properties have tenants which may use hazardous or toxic substances in the routine course of their businesses. In general, these tenants have covenanted in their leases with us to use these substances, if any, in compliance with all environmental laws and have agreed to indemnify us for any damages we may suffer as a result of their use of such substances. However, these lease provisions may not fully protect us in the event that a tenant becomes insolvent. Finally, certain of our properties have contained asbestos-containing building materials or ACBM,(“ACBM”), and other properties may have contained such materials based on the date of its construction. Environmental laws require that ACBM be properly managed and maintained, and fines and penalties may be imposed on building owners or operators for failure to comply with these requirements. The laws also may allow third parties to seek recovery from owners or operators for personal injury associated with exposure to asbestos fibers.
Neither existing environmental, health, safety and similar laws nor the costs of our compliance with these laws has had a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results operations, and management does not believe they will in the future. In addition, we have not incurred, and do not expect to incur, any material costs or liabilities due to environmental contamination at properties we currently own or have owned in the past. However, we cannot predict the impact of new or changed laws or regulations on properties we currently own or may acquire in the future.
With environmental sustainability becoming a national priority, we have continued to demonstrate our strong commitment to be a responsible corporate citizen through resource reduction and employee training that havehas resulted in reductions of energy consumption, waste and improved maintenance cycles.
InsuranceCOVID-19 Regulations. As discussed in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, during the COVID-19 pandemic, our properties and our tenants have been subject to public health regulations and control measures, including states of emergency, mandatory quarantines, “shelter in place” orders, border closures, restrictions on types of businesses that may continue to operate, “social distancing” guidelines and other travel and gathering restrictions and practices, that have significantly impacted our business. See page 13 of Item 1A. “Risk Factors” for further information.
Insurance
We carry comprehensive liability, fire, extended coverage, and rental loss insurance that covers all properties in our portfolio. We believe the policy specifications and insured limits are appropriate and adequate given the relative risk of loss, the cost of the coverage, geographic locations of our assets and industry practice. Certain risks such as loss from riots, war or acts of God, and, in some cases, flooding are not insurable or the cost to insure over these events is costs prohibitive; and therefore, we do not carry insurance for these losses. Some of our policies, such as those covering losses due to terrorism and floods, are
insured subject to limitations involving large deductibles or co-payments and policy limits that may not be sufficient to cover losses.
Offices
Our principal executive office is located at 30 S. Meridian Street, Suite 1100, Indianapolis, IN 46204. Our telephone number is (317) 577-5600.
Employees
Human Capital
As of December 31, 2019,2021, we had 133241 full-time employees. The majority of these employees were based at our Indianapolis, Indiana headquarters.headquarters though we also maintain regional offices across the United States. We believe our employees are the most important part of our business. We are committed to providing a work environment that attracts, develops and retains high-performing individuals and that treats employees with dignity and respect.
Segment Reporting
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
Our primary businesspolicies are designed to promote fairness, equal opportunities, and diversity within the Company. When attracting, developing and retaining talent, we seek individuals who hold varied experiences and viewpoints and embody our core values to create an inclusive and diverse culture and workplace that allows each employee to do their best work and drive our collective success. We believe that a diverse workforce possesses a broader array of perspectives that businesses need to remain competitive in today’s economy. We maintain employment policies that comply with federal, state and local labor laws and promote a culture of fairness and respect. These policies set forth our goal to provide equal employment opportunity without discrimination or harassment on the basis of age, gender (including identity or expression), marital status, civil partnership status, sexual orientation, disability, color, nationality, race or ethnic origin or religion or belief.
We previously established a diversity target of 20% female representation on our Board of Trustees and a goal of at least one committee to be chaired by a female, taking into consideration the experience and skill sets required of the Board of Trustees. As of the date of this filing, we are proud to have achieved these goals, with females comprising over 20% of our Board of Trustees and the chairing of our Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee by a female trustee. In addition, we annually conduct a respect in the workplace and diversity training to further enhance our cultural behaviors. As of December 31, 2021, approximately 47% of our workforce was female and minorities represented approximately 19% of our team.
Professional Development and Training
We believe a commitment to our employees’ learning and development through training, educational opportunities and mentorship is critical to our ability to continue to innovate. We focus on leadership development at every level of the ownershiporganization. We align employees’ goals with our overall strategic direction to create a clear link between individual efforts and operationthe long-term success of neighborhoodthe company and then provide effective feedback on their performance towards goals to ensure their growth. Through performance plans, talent recognition and individual development planning, along with reward packages, we advance our talent pool and create a sustainable and long-term enterprise. The Company provides reimbursement for those seeking to further their education through degree or certification programs.
Community Development
We seek to foster a corporate culture where our many stakeholders, including our employees, engage in the topic of community shopping centers.development and collaborate to extend resources towards the advancement of this principle. We do not distinguish or groupare proud to be an active citizen of the communities in which we operate. In furtherance of this commitment, we partner with and support local charitable organizations that we believe are contributing to the growth and development of the community. Our Kite Cares initiative contributes to the welfare of local youth and those in need. The program’s efforts are community-focused and have included:
•charitable grants to programs benefiting our operations oncommunities;
•fundraising to support displaced workers;
•contributions to healthcare workers and first responders; and
•construction of a geographical basis, or any other basis, when measuring performance. Accordingly,youth community center.
In addition in recent years, our employees have donated and coordinated substantial fundraising and have spent many hours volunteering to support a variety of charities with which we have one operating segment, which also serves aspartner.
Team Wellness
The health, safety and well-being of our reportable segment for disclosure purposesemployees are always top priorities, and we believe our actions in response to COVID-19 were appropriate and in accordance with accountingstate and local health and safety laws. Among other things, we adopted remote working and flexible scheduling arrangements and implemented additional health and safety measures for employees working in our offices.
Environmental, Social and Governance Matters
The Company strives to be a responsible corporate citizen, and we recognize the importance that environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) initiatives play in our ability to generate long-term, sustainable returns. To assist us in setting and meeting ESG goals, we formed a cross-functional task force (“ESG Task Force”) in 2020 to review ESG issues that are important to investors and regularly report to the Board of Trustees on ESG efforts. The ESG Task Force is led by our Chief Executive Officer and includes members from our asset management, employee experience, investor relations, marketing, internal audit, and legal departments.
In 2020, the ESG Task Force issued our ESG Policy and Corporate Citizenship Report, which is published on our website. In 2021, the Company has undertaken multiple projects to make its operations more efficient and to reduce energy and water consumption, including installing LED lighting at 15 properties, receiving IREM certifications for 29 properties, increasing the number of electric-vehicle charging stations to 100 stations across eight properties, and implementing smart meters and other initiatives aimed at water conservation, recycling and waste diversion at our properties. Recent business initiatives encourage tenants to adopt green leases, also known as “high-performance” or “energy-aligned” leases, to equitably align the costs and benefits of energy and water efficiency investments for building owners and tenants, based on principles generally acceptedand best practices from the Green Lease Leaders Reference Guide by the Institute for Market Transformation and the U.S. Department of Energy. The Company also partnered with One Tree Planted, a non-profit organization committed to reforestation, to plant new trees in 2020 and continued this program in 2021. We continue to evaluate potential actions that might reduce our carbon footprint or otherwise mitigate our environmental impact.
As described above, we are highly committed to our employees, and our policies are designed to promote fairness, equal opportunities, diversity, well-being and professional development within the United States ("GAAP").
Company.Our corporate governance structure, led by our Board of Trustees, closely aligns our interests with those of our shareholders, as further described in our annual Proxy Statement.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements made in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and presented elsewhere by our management from time to time. These factors, among others, may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results and cash
flows, including our ability to make distributions to our shareholders, and you should carefully consider them. It is not possible to predict or identify all such factors. You should not consider this list to be a complete statement of all potential risks or uncertainties. Past performance should not be considered an indication of future performance.
We have separated the risks into three categories:
(i) risks related to our operations;
(ii) risks related to our organization and structure; and
(iii) risks related to tax matters.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR OPERATIONS
We may be unable to integrate our business with RPAI’s business successfully or realize the anticipated synergies and related benefits of the Merger or do so within the anticipated time frame. We may also incur substantial expenses related to the integration process.
The Merger effected the combination of two companies that previously operated as independent public companies. We have, and will continue to, devote significant management attention and resources to integrating the business practices and operations of RPAI with ours. Potential difficulties we may encounter in the integration process include the following:
•the inability to combine our and RPAI’s businesses successfully in a manner that permits
Ongoing challenging conditionsus to achieve the cost savings or other anticipated strategic and financial benefits anticipated to result from the Merger, which would result in some anticipated benefits of the Merger not being realized in the United Statestime frame currently anticipated or at all;
•the inability to successfully realize the anticipated value from the RPAI assets;
•the complexities associated with integrating personnel from the two companies and the failure of the combined company to retain key employees of either of the two companies;
•the additional complexities of combining two companies with different histories, cultures, processes, strategies, markets and tenant bases;
•the complexities associated with applying our standards, controls, policies and procedures over a significantly larger base of assets;
•potential unknown liabilities and unforeseen increased expenses, delays or regulatory conditions associated with the Merger; and
•performance shortfalls as a result of the diversion of management’s attention caused by completing the Merger and integrating the companies’ operations.
We may also incur substantial expenses in connection with integrating the business, operations, networks, systems, technologies, policies and procedures of the two companies. Although we have assumed that a certain level of transaction and integration expenses would be incurred, there are a number of factors beyond our control that could affect the total amount or timing of the integration expenses.
For all these reasons, it is possible that the integration process could result in the distraction of our management, the disruption of our ongoing business or inconsistencies in our operations, services, standards, controls, policies and procedures, and that the integration expenses associated with the Merger could, particularly in the near term, exceed the savings that we expect to achieve from the anticipated synergies, any of which could adversely affect our ability to maintain relationships with tenants, customers, vendors and employees or to achieve the anticipated benefits of the Merger, or could otherwise adversely affect our business and financial results.
The COVID-19 pandemic and measures intended to prevent its spread has caused, and other future public health crises could cause, severe disruptions in the U.S., regional and global economies.
The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and a future outbreak of a highly infectious or contagious disease or other public health crisis could similarly have, significant repercussions across local, regional, national and global economies, including the retail sector within the U.S., and has contributed to significant volatility and negative pressure in the financial markets. Since early 2020, many U.S. states and cities, including where we own properties and/or have development sites, have at times imposed measures intended to control the spread of COVID-19, such as instituting “shelter in place” rules, limitations on public gatherings and restrictions on certain business operations.
The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted our business and has had a significant adverse effect, and could continue to significantly adversely impact and disrupt, our business, financial performance and condition, operating results and cash flows. Additional factors that have negatively impacted, and may negatively impact in the future, our ability to operate successfully as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, include, among others:
•the inability of our tenants to meet their lease obligations to us in full, or at all, due to (i) complete or partial closures of, or a decrease in customer traffic at, one or more of our properties resulting from government or tenant actions related to the pandemic; or (ii) local, regional or national economic conditions caused by the pandemic;
•liquidity issues resulting from (i) reduced cash flow from operations due to the pandemic, which could impact our future ability to pay dividends to our shareholders at past levels, (ii) the impact that lower operating results could have on our ability to meet the financial covenants in our debt agreements, and (iii) difficulty in accessing debt and equity capital on attractive terms or at all;
•an acceleration of changes in consumer behavior in favor of e-commerce;
•business continuity disruptions and a deterioration in our or our tenants’ ability to operate in affected areas or delays in the supply of products or services to us or our tenants from vendors that are needed to operate efficiently, causing costs to rise sharply and inventory to fall;
•the potential negative impact on the health of our employees, including our executive management team and key employees, or the employees of our tenants; and
•the scaling back or delay of a significant amount of planned capital expenditures, including planned redevelopment projects, which could adversely affect the value of our properties.
The extent to which COVID-19 ultimately impacts our business and that of our tenants will depend, in part, on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic, including any resurgences and variants of COVID-19, and the actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, all of which could vary by geographic region.
Our business, financial condition, performance, and value are subject to risks and conditions associated with real estate assets and the real estate industry.
Our primary business is the ownership, operation, acquisition development and redevelopment of high-quality, open-air shopping centers and mixed-use assets. Our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, per share trading price of our common shares, ability to satisfy debt service obligations, and ability to make distributions to shareholders are subject to, and could be materially and adversely affected by, risks associated with acquiring, owning and operating such real estate assets, including events and conditions that are beyond our control such as periods of economic slowdown or recession, declines in the financial condition of our tenants, rising interest rates, difficulty in leasing vacant space or renewing existing tenants, or decline in value of our assets, or the public perception that any of these events may occur. Additionally, complying with the REIT requirements may cause us to forgo and/or liquidate otherwise attractive investments. These actions could have the effect of reducing our income and amount available for distribution to shareholders. Thus, compliance with the REIT requirements may hinder our ability to make or, in certain cases, maintain ownership of, certain attractive investments.
Ongoing challenges facing our retail tenants and non-owned anchor tenants, including bankruptcies, financial instability and consolidations, may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Certain sectors of the United States economy have experienced and could continue to experience sustained weakness. Over the past several years, this weakness has resulted in the bankruptcy or weakened financial condition of a number of retailers, increased store closures, and reduced demand and rental rates for certain retail space. For example, Earth Fare and Pier 1 have filed for bankruptcy since the end of 2019, and several other retailers, including Bed Bath & Beyond, The Gap, and Walgreens, recently announced multiple store closings. These events, or other similar events with other retailers, could affect the overall economy as well as specific leases at our properties, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. General economic factors that are beyond our control, including, but not limited to, economic recessions, decreases in consumer confidence and spending, decreases in business confidence and business spending, reductions in consumer credit availability, increasing consumer debt levels, rising energy costs, higher tax rates or other changes in taxation, rising interest rates, business layoffs, downsizing and industry slowdowns, unemployment and/or rising or falling inflation, could have a negative impact on the business of our retail tenants. In turn, this could have a material adverse effect on our business because current or prospective tenants may, among other things, (i) have difficulty paying their rent obligations as they struggle to sell goods and
services to consumers, (ii) be unwilling to enter into or renew leases with us on favorable terms or at all, (iii) seek to terminate their existing leases with us or request rent concessions on such leases, or (iv) be forced to curtail operations or declare bankruptcy. We are also susceptible to other developments and conditions that could have a material adverse effect on our business. These developments and conditions include relocations of businesses, changing demographics (including the number of households and average household income surrounding our properties), increasing consumer shopping via e-commerce, other changes in retailers' and consumers' preferences and behaviors, infrastructure quality, federal, state, and local budgetary constraints and priorities, increases in real estate and other taxes, increased government regulation and the related compliance cost, decreasing valuations of real estate, and other factors.
Further, we continually monitor events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying value of our real estate assets may not be recoverable, and in the past, we have recorded impairment charges related to some properties. Challenging market conditions could require us to recognize impairment charges with respect to one or more of our properties, or a loss on the disposition of one or more of our properties.
The expansion of e-commerce may impact our tenants and our business.
The prominence of e-commerce continues to increase and its growth is likely to continue or accelerate in the future. Continued expansion of e-commerce could result in an adverse impact on some of our tenants and affect decisions made by current and prospective tenants in leasing space or operating their businesses, including reduction of the size or number of their retail locations in the future. We cannot predict with certainty how the growth in e-commerce will impact the demand for space at our properties or the revenue generated at our properties in the future. Although we continue to aggressively respond to these trends, including by entering into or renewing leases with tenants whose businesses are either more resistant to or are synergistic with, e-commerce (such as services, restaurant, grocery, specialty, experiential retailers and value retailers that have benefitted from omni-channel consumer trends), the risks associated with e-commerce could have a material adverse effect on the business outlook and financial results of our present and future tenants, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our cash flow and results of operations.
If our tenants are unable to secure financing necessary to continue to operate and grow their businesses and pay us rent, we could be materially and adversely affected.
Many of our tenants rely on external sources of financing to operate and grow their businesses. Future economic downturns and disruptions in credit markets may adversely affect our tenants’ ability to obtain debt financing at favorable rates or at all. If our tenants are unable to secure financing necessary to operate or expand their businesses, they may be unable to meet their rent obligations to us or enter into new leases with us or be forced to declare bankruptcy and reject our leases with them, which could materially and adversely affect our cash flow and results of operations.
Our business is significantly influenced by demand for retail space generally, a decrease in which may have a greater adverse effect on our business than if we owned a more diversified real estate portfolio.
Because our portfolio of properties consists primarily of community and neighborhood shopping centers, a decrease in the demand for retail space, due to the economic factors discussed above or otherwise, may have a greater adverse effect on our business and financial condition than if we owned a more diversified real estate property portfolio. The market for retail space has been, and could be in the future, adversely affected by weakness in the national, regional and local economies, the adverse financial condition of certain large retailing companies, the ongoing consolidation and contraction in the retail sector, the excess amount of retail space in a number of markets and increasing e-commerce and the perception such retail competition has on the value of shopping center assets. To the extent that any of these conditions occur, they could negatively affect market rents for retail space, which in turn could materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, common share trading price, and ability to satisfy our debt service obligations and to pay distributions to our shareholders.
The closure of any stores by any non-owned anchor tenant or the bankruptcy of a major tenant with leases in multiple locations, because of a deterioration of its financial condition or otherwise, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
We derive the majority of our revenue from retail tenants who lease space from us at our properties. Therefore,properties, and our ability to generate cash from operations is dependent on the rents that we are able to charge and collect from our tenants. Our leases generally do not contain provisions designed to ensurecollect.Over the creditworthinesspast several years, sustained weakness in certain sectors of the U.S. economy has resulted in the bankruptcy or weakened financial condition of a number of retailers, including some of our tenants.

Tenant bankruptcies may increase during periods of difficult economic conditions. We cannotcould present difficulties for our business to collect rent or make any assurances thatclaims against a tenant filing for bankruptcy protection will continue to pay its rent obligations. in bankruptcy.
A bankruptcy filing by one of our tenants or a lease guarantor would legally prohibit us from collecting pre-bankruptcy debts or unpaid rent from that tenant or the lease guarantor, unless we receive an order from the bankruptcy court permitting us to do so. Such bankruptcies could delay, reduce, or ultimately preclude collection of amounts owed to us.us, including both past and future rent. A tenant in bankruptcy may attempt to renegotiate the lease or request significant rent concessions. If a lease is assumed by thea tenant, in bankruptcy, all pre-bankruptcy balances due under the lease must be paid to us in full. However, if a lease is rejected by a tenant in bankruptcy, we would have only a general unsecured claim for damages, including pre-bankruptcy balances.damages. Any unsecured claim we hold may be paid only to the extent that funds are available and only in the same percentage as is paid to all other holders of unsecured claims. There are restrictions under bankruptcy laws that limit the amount of the claim we can make for future rent under a lease if the lease is rejected. As a result, it is likely that we would recover substantially less than the full value of any unsecured claims we hold from a tenant in bankruptcy, which would result in a reduction in our cash flow and in the amount of cash available for distribution to our shareholders and could have a material adverse effect on us.
The expansion of e-commerce may impact our resultstenants and our business.
The prominence of operations.
Moreover, we are continually re-leasing vacant spaces resulting from tenant lease terminations. The bankruptcye-commerce continues to increase and its growth could have an adverse impact on some of a tenant, particularly an anchor tenant, may make it more difficult to lease the remainderour tenants and affect decisions made by current and prospective tenants in leasing space, including reduction of the affected properties. Future tenant bankruptcies could materially adversely affectsize or number of their retail locations in the future. We cannot predict with certainty how the growth in e-commerce will impact the demand for space or the revenue generated at our properties in the future. Although we continue to aggressively respond to these trends, including by entering into or impactrenewing leases with tenants whose businesses are either more resistant to or are synergistic with e-commerce and renovating our abilityproperties to successfully executeallow our re-leasing strategy.
Our performance and value are subjecttenants to serve last mile fulfillment functions, the risks associated with real estate assetse-commerce could have a material adverse effect on the business outlook and the real estate industry.
Our ability to make distributions to our shareholders depends on our ability to generate substantial revenues from our properties. Periods of economic slowdown or recession, rising interest rates or declining demand for real estate, or the public perception that any of these events may occur, could result in a general decline in rents or an increased incidence of defaults under existing leases. Such events would materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, per share trading price of our common shares, ability to satisfy debt service obligations,present and ability to make distributions to shareholders. future tenants, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on us.
In addition, other events and conditions generally applicable to owners and operators of real property that are beyond our control may decrease cash available for distribution and the value of our properties. These events include but are not limited to:
adverse changes in the national, regional and local economic climate, particularly in Florida, Indiana, Texas, Nevada, and North Carolina where 26%, 16%, 15%, 10%, and 10%, respectively, of our total base rent is earned;
tenant bankruptcies or insolvencies;
local oversupply of rental space, increased competition or reduction in demand for rentable space;
inability to collect rent from tenants or having to provide significant rent concessions to tenants;
vacancies or our inability to rent space on favorable terms or at all;
downward trends in market rental rates;
inability to finance property development, tenant improvements and acquisitions on favorable terms;
increased operating costs, including maintenance, insurance, utilities and real estate taxes and a decrease in our ability to recover such increased costs from our tenants;
the need to periodically fund the costs to repair, renovate and re-lease spaces in our operating properties;
decreased attractiveness of our properties to tenants;
weather and climate conditions that may increase energy costs and other weather-related expenses, such as snow removal costs and storm or flood damage repairs;
changes in laws and governmental regulations and costs of complying with such changed laws and governmental regulations, including those involving health, safety, usage, zoning, the environment and taxes;
civil unrest, acts of terrorism, earthquakes, hurricanes and other national disasters or acts of God that may result in underinsured or uninsured losses;
the relative illiquidity of real estate investments;
changing demographics (including the number of households and average household income surrounding our properties); and
changing customer traffic patterns.
We face significant competition, which may impedeimpact our ability to renew leases or re-lease space as leases expire or require us to undertake unexpectedrental rates, leasing terms and capital improvements.
We compete for tenants with numerous developers, owners and operators of retail shopping centers, regional malls, and outlet malls, for tenants. These competitors includeincluding institutional investors, other REITs, including other retail REITs, and other owner-operators of community and neighborhood shopping centers, some of which own or may in the future own properties similar to ours in the same markets but which have greater capital resources.owner-operators. As of December 31, 2019,2021, leases representing 7.2%9.1% of our total annualized base rentretail ABR were scheduled to expire in 2020. If our2022. Our competitors may have greater capital resources or be willing to offer space atlower rental rates below current market rates, or below the rental rates we currently charge ourmore favorable terms for tenants, we may be unable to lease on satisfactory terms and we may be pressured to reduce our rental rates below those we currently charge in order to retain tenants when our leases with them expire. We also may be required to offer moresuch as substantial rent reductions or abatements, tenant allowances or other improvements, and early termination rights, which may pressure us to reduce our rental rates, undertake unexpected capital improvements or accommodate requests for renovations, build-to-suit remodeling andoffer other improvements than we have done historically. As a result,terms less favorable to us, which could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, trading price of our common shares and ability to satisfy our debt service obligations and to pay distributions to our shareholders may be materially adversely affected. In addition, increased competition for tenants may require us to make capital improvements to properties that we would not have otherwise planned to make, which would reduce cash available for distributions to shareholders. Ifcondition. Additionally, if retailers or consumers perceive that shopping at other venues online or by phoneonline is more convenient, cost-effective or otherwise more attractive, our revenues and results of operations also may suffer.
Because of our geographic concentrations, a prolonged economic downturn in certain states and regions could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
The specific markets in which we operate may face challenging economic conditions that could persist into the future. In particular, as of December 31, 2019,2021, rents from our owned retail square footage in the states of Texas, Florida, Indiana, Texas, Nevada,New York, Maryland, and North Carolina comprised 26%24.0%, 16%9.9%, 15%5.8%, 10%5.8%, and 10%5.1% of our base rent, respectively. This level of concentration could expose us to greater economic risks than if we owned properties in more geographic regions. Adverse economic or real estate trends in Florida, Indiana, Texas, Nevada, North Carolina,these states or the surrounding regions or any decrease in demand for retail space resulting from the local regulatory environment, business climate or fiscal problems in these states, could materially and adversely affect us.
We depend on external financing to fulfill our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, the trading price of our common sharescapital needs, and our ability to satisfy our debt service obligations and to pay distributions to our shareholders.
Disruptionsdisruptions in the financial markets could affect our ability to obtain financing on reasonable terms, or at all, and have other material adverse effects on our business.
Partly because of the distribution requirements of being a REIT, we may not be able to fund all future capital needs with income from operations. Consequently, we may rely on external financing to fulfill our capital needs. Disruptions in the
financial markets generally, or relating to the real estate industry specifically, may adversely affectcould impact our ability to obtain debt financing on favorable termsacquire or at all.develop properties when strategic opportunities exist, satisfy our principal and interest obligations or make distributions to our shareholders. These disruptions could impact the overall amount of equity and debt financing available, lower loan to value ratios, cause a tightening of lender underwriting standards and terms and cause higher interest rate spreads. As a result, we may be unable to refinance or extend our existing indebtedness on favorable terms or at all. We do not have any$153.5 million of debt principal scheduled to mature through December 31, 2021.2022. If we are not successful in refinancing our outstanding
debt when it becomes due, we may have to dispose of properties on disadvantageous terms, which could adversely affect our ability to service other debt and to meet our other obligations. While we currently have sufficient capacity under our unsecured revolving credit facility and operating cash flows to retire outstanding debt maturing through 2025 in the event we are not able to refinance such debt when it becomes due, but our credit facility has a maturity date in April 2022 (which may be extended for two additional periods of six months subject to certain conditions), and there can be no assurance that the credit facility will remain outstanding or be renewed through 2025 or that our operating cash flows will continue to provide sufficient liquidity to retire any or all of our outstanding debt during this period or beyond.
If economic conditions deteriorate in any of our markets, we may have to seek less attractive, alternative sources of financing and adjust our business plan accordingly. These factors
We have a significant amount of indebtedness outstanding and may make itneed to incur more difficult for us to sell properties or may adversely affect the selling price, as prospective buyers may experience increased costs of financing or difficulties in obtaining financing. These events also may make it difficult or costly to raise capital through the issuance of our common shares or preferred shares. The disruptions in the financial marketsfuture.
We have had, and may continue to have, a material adverse effect on the market value of our common shares and other aspects of our business, as well as the economy in general. Furthermore, there can be no assurances that government responses to disruptions in the financial markets will restore consumer confidence, stabilize the markets or increase liquidity and the availability of equity or debt financing.
Some of our real estate assets have been subject to impairment charges and others may be subject to impairment charges in the future, which may negatively affect our net income.
Our long-lived assets, primarily real estate held for investment, are carried at cost unless circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable through future operations. In 2019, we recorded impairment charges totaling $37.7 million related to a reduction in the expected holding period of certain operating properties, which impairment charges negatively affected our net income for the applicable periods. Management reviews operational and development projects, land parcels and intangible assets on a property-by-property basis on at least a quarterly basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. We evaluate whether there are any indicators, including poor operating performance or deteriorating general market conditions, that the carrying value of our real estate properties (including any related amortizable intangible assets or liabilities) may not be recoverable. As part of this evaluation, we compare the current carrying value of the asset to the estimated undiscounted cash flows that are directly associated with the use and ultimate disposition of the asset. This review for possible impairment requires certain assumptions, estimates, and significant judgment. Our estimated cash flows are based on several key assumptions, including projected net operating income, anticipated hold period, expected capital expenditures, and the capitalization rate used to estimate the property's residual value. These key assumptions are subjective in nature and could differ materially from actual results if the property was disposed. Changes in our disposition strategy or changes in the marketplace may alter the hold period of an asset or asset group, which may result in an impairment loss, and such loss could be material to our financial condition or operating performance. To the extent that the carrying value of the asset exceeds the estimated undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized equal to the excess of carrying value over estimated fair value. If the above-described negative indicators are not identified during our period property evaluations, management will not assess the recoverability of a property's carrying value.
The estimation of the fair value of real estate assets is highly subjective and is typically determined through comparable sales information and other market data if available or through use of an income approach such as the direct capitalization method or the traditional discounted cash flow approach. Such cash flow projections consider factors, including expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of demand, competition and other factors, and therefore are subject to a significant degree of management judgment. Changes in those factors could impact the determination of fair value. In estimating the fair value of undeveloped land, we generally use market data and comparable sales information.
These subjective assessments have a direct impact on our net income because recording an impairment charge results in an immediate negative adjustment to net income. There can be no assurance that we will not take additional charges in the future related to the impairment of our assets. Any future impairment could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in the period in which the charge is taken.
We had $1.15$3.2 billion of consolidated indebtedness outstanding as of December 31, 2019, which may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results2021, including the assumption of operations and reduce our ability to incur additional indebtedness to fund our growth.

Interest rates are currently low relative to historical levels and may increase significantly in

For example, if market rates of interest on our variable rate debt outstanding, net of cash flow hedges, as of December 31, 20192021 increased by 1%, the increase in interest expense on our unhedged variable rate debt would decrease future cash flows by approximately $0.4$2.4 million annually.
We may incur additional debt in connection with various development and redevelopment projects and may incur additional debt upon the future acquisition of operating properties. Our organizational documents do not limit the amount of indebtedness that we may incur. We may borrow new funds to develop or acquire properties. In addition, we may increase our mortgage debt by obtaining loans secured by some or all of the real estate properties we develop or acquire. We also may borrow funds if necessary to satisfy the requirement that we distribute to shareholders at least 90% of our annual “REIT taxable income” (determined before the deduction of dividends paid and excluding net capital gains) or otherwise as is necessary or advisable to ensure that we maintain our qualification as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes or otherwise avoid paying taxes that can be eliminated through distributions to our shareholders.
Our substantial debt could materially and adversely affect our business in other ways, including by, among other things:
(i) requiring us to use a substantial portion of our fundscash flows from operations to pay principalservice our indebtedness, which would reduce the available cash flow to fund general corporate purposes and interest, which reduces the amount availablereduce cash for distributions;
placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared (ii) limiting our ability to obtain additional financing to fund our competitors that have less debt;
working capital needs, capital expenditures, acquisitions, other debt service requirements or other purposes; (iii) increasing our costs of incurring additional debt and our exposure to floating interest rates; (iv) making us more vulnerable to economic and industry downturns and reducing our flexibility in responding to changing business and economic conditions; and (v) placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt. The impact of any of these potential adverse consequences could have a material adverse effect on us.
limitingWe could be adversely affected by the financial and other covenants and provisions contained in our credit facility, term loan agreements and note purchase agreements.
Our debt agreements relating to our senior unsecured credit facility, senior unsecured term loans and private placement notes require compliance with certain financial and operating covenants, including, among other things, the requirement to maintain maximum unencumbered, secured and consolidated leverage ratios and minimum fixed charge and unencumbered interest coverage ratios, as well as limitations on our ability to borrow more money forincur debt, make dividend payments, sell all or substantially all of our assets and engage in mergers and consolidations and certain acquisitions. Given the restrictions in our debt agreement covenants, we may be limited in our operating and financial flexibility and in our ability to respond to changes in our business or capital needs or to finance development and acquisitionspursue strategic opportunities in the future.

In the event of a default under any of these agreements, the lenderlenders or holders of our private placement notes would have various rights including, but not limited to, the ability to require the acceleration of the payment of all principal and interest when due and/or to terminate the agreements and, to the extent such debt is secured, to foreclose on the properties. The declaration of a default and/or the acceleration of the amount due under any
such credit agreement or note purchase agreement could have a material adverse effect on our business, limit our ability to make distributions to our shareholders, and prevent us from obtaining additional funds needed to address cash shortfalls or pursue growth opportunities.
Certain of our loan agreements contain cross-default provisions which provide that a violation by the Company of any financial covenant set forth in our unsecured revolving credit facility agreement will constitute an event of default under such loans. The agreements relating to our unsecured revolving credit facility, unsecured term loanloans and seven-year unsecured term loanprivate placement notes contain provisions providingcross-defaults to certain other material indebtedness (including recourse indebtedness in excess of $40.0 million or $50.0 million, depending on the agreement), such that anyan “Event of Default” under one of these facilities or loans will constitutecould trigger an “Event of Default” under the other facilityfacilities or loan.

These provisions could allow the lending institutions and noteholders to accelerate the amount due under the loans.loans and private placement notes.

We were in compliance with all applicable covenants under the agreements relating to our senior unsecured revolving credit facility, seven-yearsenior unsecured term loan,loans, and senior unsecured notes as of December 31, 2019,2021, although there can be no assurance that we will continue to remain in compliance in the future.
Our credit ratings may not reflect all the risks of an investment in our debt.
Our credit ratings are assessments by rating agencies of our ability to pay our debts when due. Credit ratings may be revised or withdrawn at any time by a rating agency at its sole discretion. We do not undertake any obligation to maintain our ratings or advise our debt holders of any change in our ratings, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain our current credit ratings. Adverse changes in our credit ratings could significantly reduce the market price of our publicly traded debt and could impact our ability to obtain additional debt and equity financing on favorable terms or at all.
Mortgage debt obligations expose us to the possibility of foreclosure, which could result in the loss of our investment in a property or group of properties subject to mortgage debt.
A significant amountportion of our indebtedness is secured by our real estate assets. If a property or group of properties is mortgagedassets, which could be subject to secure payment of debt and we are unable to make the required periodic mortgage payments,foreclosure by the lender or the holder of the
mortgage could foreclose on the property, resulting in the loss of our investment.if we fail to make required mortgage payments. For tax purposes, a foreclosure of any of our properties would be treated as a sale of the property for a purchase price equal to the outstanding balance of the debt secured by the mortgage. If the outstandingsuch balance of the debt secured by the mortgage exceeds our tax basis in the property, we would recognize taxable income on foreclosure but we would not receive any cash proceeds, which could hinder our ability to meet the REIT distribution requirements imposed by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"“Code”). If any of our properties are foreclosed on due to a default, our ability to pay cash distributions to our shareholders and our earnings will be limited. In addition, as a result oflimited, and due to cross-collateralization or cross-default provisions, contained in certain of our mortgage loans, a default under onecertain mortgage loanloans could result in a default on other indebtedness and cause us to lose other better performing properties, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

We are subject to risks associated with hedging agreements.
agreements, including potential performance failures by counterparties and termination costs.
We use a combination of interest rate protection agreements, including interest rate swaps, to manage risk associated with interest rate volatility. This may expose us to additional risks, including a risk that the counterparty to a hedging arrangement may fail to honor its obligations. Developing an effective interest rate risk strategy is complex and no strategy can completely insulate us from the risks associated with interest rate fluctuations. There can be no assurance that our hedging activities will have the desired beneficial effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Further, should we choose to terminate a hedging agreement, there could be significant costs and cash requirements involved to fulfill our initial obligation under such agreement.
We may be adversely affected by changes in LIBOR reporting practices, the method in which LIBOR is determined or the use of alternative reference rates.
As of December 31, 2019,2021, we had approximately $305.8$959.0 million of debt and $875.0 million of derivatives outstanding that waswere indexed to the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). In July 2017, the United Kingdom regulator that regulatesCertain tenors of LIBOR announced its intention to phase out LIBOR rates by the end of 2021. It is not possible to predict the further effect of this announcement, any changes in the methods by whichwill remain available through June 2023, however, LIBOR is determined or any other reforms to LIBOR that may be enacted in the United Kingdom, the European Union or elsewhere. In April 2018, the New York Federal Reserve commenced publishing an alternative reference rate, the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), proposed by a group of major market participants convened by the U.S. Federal Reserve with participation by SEC Staff and other regulators, the Alternative Reference Rates Committee ("ARRC"). SOFR is based on transactions in the more robust U.S. Treasury repurchase market and has been proposed as the alternative to LIBOR for use in derivatives and other financial contracts that currently rely on LIBOR as a reference rate. ARRC has proposed a paced market transition plan to SOFR from LIBOR and organizations are currently working on industry-wide and company-specific transition plans as it relates to derivatives and cash markets exposed to LIBOR. At this time, no consensus exists as to what rate or rates may become accepted alternatives to LIBOR, and it is impossible to predict whether and to what extent banks will continue to provide LIBOR submissions to the administrator of LIBOR, whether LIBOR rates will ceaselonger permitted to be published or supported before orused in new contracts after December 31, 2021 or whether any additional reformsand existing contracts will be transitioned to LIBOR may be enacted in the United Kingdom or elsewhere. Such developments and any other legal or regulatory changes in the method by whichalternative interest rates. When LIBOR is determined or the transition from LIBOR to a successor benchmark may result in, among other things, a sudden or prolonged increase or decrease in LIBOR, a delay in the publication of LIBOR, and changes in the rules or methodologies in LIBOR, which may discourage market participants from continuing to administer or to participate in LIBOR’s determination and, in certain situations, could result in LIBOR no longer being determined and published. If a published U.S. dollar LIBOR rate is unavailable after 2021,discontinued, the interest rates onrate for certain of our debt which isinstruments that are indexed to LIBOR will be determined using various alternative methods, any of which may result in interest obligations whichthat are more than or do not otherwise correlate over time with the payments that would have been made on such debt if U.S. dollar LIBOR was available in its current form. Further, the same costs and risks that may lead to the unavailability of U.S. dollar LIBOR may make one or more of the alternative methods impossible or impracticable to determine. Any of these proposals or consequencesform, which could have a material adverse effect on our financing costs, and as a result, our financial condition, operating results and cash flows.
Our financial covenants may restrict our operating and acquisition activities.
Our unsecured revolving credit facility contains certain financial and operating covenants, including, among other things, certain coverage ratios, as well as limitations on our ability to incur debt, make dividend payments, sell all or substantially all of our assets and engage in mergers and consolidations and certain acquisitions. These covenants may restrict our ability to pursue certain business initiatives or certain acquisition transactions. In addition, certain of our mortgages contain customary covenants which, among other things, limit our ability, without the prior consent of the lender, to further mortgage the property, to enter into new leases or materially modify existing leases, and to discontinue insurance coverage. Failure to meet any of the financial
covenants could cause an event of default under and/or accelerate some or all of our indebtedness, which could have a material adverse effect on us.
Our current and any future jointJoint venture investments could be adversely affected by our lack of sole decision-making authority, our reliance on joint venture partners’ financial condition, any disputes that may arise between usthe structure and our joint venture partnersterms thereof and our exposure to potential losses from the actionsactivities of our joint venture partners.
As of December 31, 2019,2021, we owned interests in two of our operating retail properties and one development project through consolidated joint ventures and interests in fourthree operating retail properties, a hotel component of an operating property, a multifamily component of an operating property, and one development project through unconsolidated joint ventures. In addition,ventures, and in the future, we currently own land held for developmentmay seek to co-invest with third parties through one consolidatedother joint venture.ventures. Our joint ventures and the value and performance of such investments may involve risks not present with respect to our wholly owned properties, including the following:
we may share(i) shared decision-making authority, with our joint venture partners regarding certain major decisions affecting the ownership or operation of the joint venture and the joint venture property, such as the sale of the property or the making of additional capital contributions for the benefit of the property, which may prevent us from taking actions that are opposed byin our joint venture partners;
prior consent of our joint venture partners may be required for a sale or transferbest interest, (ii) restrictions on the ability to a third party ofsell our interests in the joint venture, which restricts our ability to disposeventures without the other partners’ consent, (iii) potential conflicts of our interest in the joint venture;
our joint venture partners might become bankrupt or fail to fund their share of required capital contributions, which may delay construction or development of a property or increase our financial commitment to the joint venture;
our joint venture partners may have business interests or goals with respect to the property that conflict with our business interests and goals, which could increase the likelihood ofother disputes, regarding the ownership, management or disposition of the property;
disputes may develop with our joint venture partners over decisions affecting the property or the joint venture, which may result inincluding potential litigation or arbitration that would increaseprevent our expenses and distract our officers and/or trusteesmanagement team from focusing their time and effort on our business, and possibly disrupt the day-to-day operations(iv) potential losses or increased costs or expenses arising from actions taken in respect of the property, such asjoint ventures, (v) actions by delayingour partners that could jeopardize our REIT status, require us to pay taxes or subject the implementation of important decisions untilproperties owned by the conflict or dispute is resolved; and

Developments and redevelopments have inherent risks that could adversely affect our ability to qualify as a REIT, even though we may not control the joint venture.
In the future, we may seek to co-invest with third parties through joint ventures that may involve similar or additional risks.
Our future developments, redevelopments and acquisitions may not yield the returns we expect or may result in dilution in shareholder value.
impact us.
As of December 31, 2019,2021, we have oneeight development projectand redevelopment projects under construction and threefive redevelopment opportunities currently in the planning stage, including de-leasing space and evaluating development plans and costs with potential tenants and partners. Some of these plans include non-retail uses, such as multifamily housing. New development and redevelopment projects and property acquisitions are subject to a number of risks, including but not limited to: the following:
abandonment•expenditure of developmentcapital and redevelopment activities after expending resources to determine feasibility;
construction delays or cost overrunstime on projects that may increase project costs;not be pursued or completed;
the failure of our pre-acquisition investigation of a property or building, and any related representations we may receive from the seller, to reveal various liabilities or defects or identify necessary repairs until after the property is acquired, which could reduce the cash flow from the property or increase our acquisition costs;
as a result of competition for attractive development and acquisition opportunities, we may be unable to acquire assets as we desire or the purchase price may be significantly elevated, which may impede our growth;
the failure to meet anticipated occupancy or rent levels within the projected time frame, if at all;
•inability to operate successfully in new markets where new properties are located;obtain necessary zoning or regulatory approvals;
•higher than estimated construction or operating costs, including labor and material costs;
•inability to successfully integrate new properties into existing operations;complete construction on schedule;
exposure•significant time lag between commencement and stabilization resulting in delayed returns and greater risks due to fluctuations in the general economy, shifts in demographics and competition;
•decrease in customer traffic during the development period causing a decrease in tenant sales;
•inability to secure key anchor or other tenants or complete the lease-up at anticipated absorption rates or at all;
•occupancy and rental rates at a newly completed project may not meet expectations;
•investment returns from developments may be less than expected; and
•suspension of development projects after construction has begun due to the significant time lag between commencement and completion of development and redevelopment projects;
failure to receive required zoning, occupancy, land use and other governmental permits and authorizations and changes in applicable zoning and land use laws; and
difficultyeconomic conditions or inability to obtain any required consents of third parties, such as tenants, mortgage lenders and joint venture partners.
In addition, if a project is delayed or if we are unable to lease designated space to anchor tenants, certain other tenants may have the right to terminate their leases or modify the terms in a mannerfactors that is disadvantageous to us. If any of these situations occur, development costs for a project may increase, which may result in reduced returns,the write-off of costs, payment of additional costs or even losses, from such investments. increases in overall costs if the project is restarted.
In deciding whether to acquire, develop or redevelop a particular property, we make certain assumptions regarding the expected future performance of that property. If these properties do not perform as expected,property, and our financial performance may be materially and adversely affected, or in the case of an unsuccessful redevelopment project, our entire investment could be at risk for loss, or an impairment charge could occur. In addition, the issuance of equity securities as consideration for any significant acquisitions could be dilutive to our shareholders.
To the extent that we pursue acquisitions in the future, we may not be successful in acquiring desirable operating properties, for which we face significant competition, or identifying development and redevelopment projects that meet our investment criteria, both of which may impede our growth.
From time to time, consistent with our business strategy, we evaluate the market and may acquire properties when we believe strategic opportunities exist. When we pursue acquisitions, we may be unable to acquire a desired property because offace competition from other real estate investors, with substantial capital, including other REITs and institutional investment funds. Even if we are ablewhich could limit our ability to acquire a desired property, competition from other potential acquirers may significantlyproperties, increase the purchase price we are required to pay thus reducing the return to our shareholders. Additionally, we may not be successful in identifying suitable real estate properties or other assets that meet our development or redevelopment criteria, or we may failshareholders, and cause us to complete developments, redevelopments, acquisitions or investments on satisfactory terms. Failure to identify or complete developments, redevelopments or acquisitions could slow our growth, which could in turn materially adversely affect our operations. Furthermore, when we pursue acquisitions, we may agree to provisions that materially restrict us from selling that property for a period of timematerial restrictions or impose other restrictions, such as limitations onin the amount of debt that can be placed or repaid on that property.acquisition agreements. These factors and any others that wouldcould impede our ability to respond to adverse changes in the performance of our properties couldgrowth and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Development and redevelopment activitiesWe may be delayed or may not perform as expected and, in the case of an unsuccessful project, our entire investment could be at risk for loss.
We currently have one development project under construction. We have also identified three additional redevelopment opportunities and expect to commence redevelopment in the future. In connection with any development or redevelopment of our properties, we will bear certain risks, including the risk of construction delays or cost overruns that may increase project costs and make a project uneconomical, the risk that occupancy or rental rates at a completed project will not be sufficient to enable us to pay operating expenses or earn the targeted rate of return on investment, and the risk of incurrence of predevelopment costs in connection with projects that are not pursued to completion. In addition, various tenants may have the right to withdraw from a property if a development or redevelopment project is not completed on schedule and required third-party consents may be withheld. In the case of an unsuccessful redevelopment project, our entire investment could be at risk for loss, or an impairment charge could occur.
We may not be ableunable to sell properties when appropriateat the time we desire and on favorable terms or on terms favorableat all, which could limit our ability to us and could, under certain circumstances, be required to pay a 100% "prohibited transaction" penalty tax related to the properties we sell.
access capital through dispositions.
Real estate property investments generally cannot be sold quickly. Our ability to dispose of properties on advantageous terms depends on factors beyond our control, including competition from other sellers and the availability of attractive financing for potential buyers of our properties, and we cannot predict the various market conditions affecting real estate investments that will exist at any particular time in the future. Before a property can be sold, we may need to make expenditures to correct defects or to make improvements. We may not have funds available to correct such defects or to make such improvements, and if we cannot do so, we might not be able to sell the property or might be required to sell the property on unfavorable terms. We may
not be able to dispose of any of theour properties on terms favorable to us or at all, and each individual sale will depend on, among other things, economic and market conditions, competition from other sellers, individual asset characteristics and the availability of potential buyers and favorable financing terms at the time. Further, we willmay incur marketing expenses and other transaction costs in connection with dispositions, anddispositions.
In addition, the process of marketing and selling a large pool of properties may distract the attention of our personnel from the operation of our business.
Also, the tax laws applicable to REITs imposeCode generally imposes a 100% penalty tax on any net income from “prohibited transactions.” In general, prohibited transactionsgain recognized by REITs upon the disposition of assets if the assets are sales or other dispositions of property held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business. The determination as to whether a particular sale is a prohibited transaction depends on the facts and circumstances related to that sale. The need to avoid prohibited transactionsbusiness rather than for investment, which could cause us to forego or defer sales of properties that might otherwise be in our best interest to sell. Therefore, wesell, which may be unablelimit our ability to adjust our portfolio mix promptly in response to market conditions, which may adversely affect our financial position. In addition, weconditions. We will also be subject to income taxes on gains from the sale of any properties owned by any taxable REIT subsidiary. subsidiary (“TRS”).
We could experience a decline in the fair value of our real estate assets and be subject to impairment charges, which could be material.
Our long-lived assets, primarily real estate held for investment, are carried at cost unless circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable through future operations. Changes in our disposition strategy or changes in the marketplace may alter the hold period of an asset or asset group, which may result in an impairment loss, and such loss could be material to our financial condition or operating performance. To the extent that the carrying value of the asset exceeds the estimated undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized equal to the excess of the carrying value over estimated fair value (which is highly subjective and involves a significant degree of management judgment regarding various inputs). We did not record any impairment charges during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. During the year ended December 31, 2019, we recorded impairment charges totaling $37.7 million related to a reduction in the expected holding period of certain operating properties. There can be no assurances that we will not take additional charges in the future related to the impairment of our assets, which could result in an immediate negative adjustment to net income and have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in the period in which the charge is taken.
We could be materially and adversely affected if we are found to be in breach of a ground lease at one of our properties or are unable to renew a ground lease.
As of December 31, 2021, we had 10 properties in our portfolio that are either completely or partially on land that is owned by third parties and leased to us pursuant to ground leases. If we are found to be in breach of a ground lease and that breach cannot be cured or we are unable to extend the lease terms or purchase the fee interest in the underlying land prior to expiration, as to which no assurance can be given, we could lose our interest in the improvements and the right to operate the property, and we would be unable to derive income from such property. Assuming we exercise all available options to extend the terms of our ground leases, our ground leases will expire between 2043 and 2115. In certain cases, our ability to exercise the extension option is subject to the condition that we are not in default at the time we exercise such option, and we can provide no assurances that we will be able to exercise our options.
Uninsured losses or losses in excess of insurance coverage could materially and adversely affect our cash flow, financial condition and results of operations.
us.
We do not carry insurance for generally uninsurable losses such as loss from riots, war or acts of God, and, in some cases, flooding.flooding, and insurance companies may no longer offer coverage against certain types of losses such as environmental liabilities or other catastrophic events or, if offered, the expense of obtaining such coverage may not be justified. Some of our policies, such as those covering losses due to terrorism and floods, are insured subject to limitations, involving large deductiblesand in the future, we may be unable to renew or co-payments and policy limits that may not be sufficient to cover all losses.duplicate our current insurance coverage at adequate levels or at reasonable prices. In addition, tenants generally are required to indemnify and hold us harmless from liabilities resulting from injury to persons or damage to personal or real property on the premises due to activities conducted by tenants or their agents on the properties (including, without limitation, any environmental contamination) and, at the tenant’s expense, to obtain and keep in full force during the term of the lease, liability and property damage insurance policies. However, tenants may not properly maintain their insurance policies or have the ability to pay the deductibles associated with such policies. If we experience a loss that is uninsured or that exceeds policy limits, we could lose the capital invested in the damaged properties as well as the anticipated future cash flows from those properties.flows. Inflation, changes in building codes and ordinances, environmental considerations, and other factors also might make it impractical or undesirable to use insurance proceeds to replace a property after it has been damaged or destroyed. In addition, if the damaged properties are subject to recourse indebtedness, we would continue to be liable for the indebtedness, even if these properties were irreparably damaged.
Insurance coverage on our properties may be expensive or difficult to obtain, exposing us to potential risk of loss.
In the future, we may be unable to renew or duplicate our current insurance coverage at adequate levels or at reasonable prices. In addition, insurance companies may no longer offer coverage against certain types of losses, such as losses due to terrorist acts, environmental liabilities, or other catastrophic events including hurricanes and floods, or, if offered, the expense of obtaining these types of insurance may not be justified. We therefore may cease to have insurance coverage against certain types of losses and/or there may be decreases in the limits of insurance available. If an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of our insured limits occurs, we could lose all or a portion of the capital we have invested in a property, as well as the anticipated future revenue from the property after a covered period of time, but still remain obligated for any mortgage debt or other financial obligations related to the property. We cannot guarantee that material losses in excess of insurance proceeds will not occur in the future. If any of our properties were to experience a catastrophic loss, it could seriously disrupt our operations, delay revenue and result in large expenses to repair or rebuild the property. Events such as these could adversely affect our results of operations and our ability to meet our financial obligations.
Rising operating expenses could reduce our cash flow and funds available for future distributions, particularly if such expenses are not offset by an increase in corresponding revenues.
Our existing properties and any properties we develop or acquire in the future are and will continue to be subject to operating risks common to real estate in general, any or all of which may negatively affect us. The expenses of owning and operating properties generally do not decrease, and may increase, when circumstances such as market factors and competition cause a reduction in income from the properties. Our properties continue to be subject to increases in real estate and other tax rates, utility costs, operating expenses, insurance costs, repairs and maintenance and administrative expenses, regardless of occupancy rates. As a result, if any property is not fully occupied or if rents are being paid in an amount that is insufficient to cover operating expenses, we could be required to expend funds for that property’s operating expenses. Therefore, rising operating expenses could reduce our cash flow and funds available for future distributions, particularly if such expenses are not offset by corresponding revenues.
Our business faces potential risks associated with natural disasters, severe weather conditions, and climate change and related legislation and regulations, and terrorism, any of which could have an adverse effect on our cash flowus.
Our properties are located in many areas that are subject to, or have been affected by, natural disasters and operating results.
Global climate change continues to attract considerable publicsevere weather conditions such as hurricanes, tropical storms, tornadoes, earthquakes, droughts, floods and scientific attention with widespread concern about the impact of human activity on the environment, including effects on the frequency and scale of natural disasters.fires. Changing weather patterns and climatic conditions, including as a result of climate change, may affect the predictability and frequency of natural disasters in some parts of the world and create additional uncertainty as to future trends and exposures, including certain areas in which our portfolio is concentrated such as Texas, Indiana, Florida, Nevada,New York, Maryland, and North Carolina. Our properties are located in many areas that are subject to or have been affected by natural disasters and severe weather conditions such as hurricanes, tropical storms, tornadoes, earthquakes, droughts, floods and fires. Over time, the occurrence of natural disasters, severe weather conditions and changing climatic conditions can delay new development and redevelopment projects, increase repair costs and future insurance costs and negatively impact the demand for leaseleased space in the affected areas, or in extreme cases, affect our ability to operate the properties at all. These risks could have an adverse effect on our cash flow and operating results.
Regulation regarding climate change may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
ChangesAdditionally, changes in federal and state legislation and regulations on climate changecontrol could result in increased costs and expenses, such as utility expenses and/or capital expenditures to improve the energy efficiency of our existing properties, or potentially result in fines for non-compliance.
Potential terrorist attacks and other related aspectsacts of violence could also harm the demand for, and the value of, our properties, in order to comply with such regulations or otherwise adapt to climate change. These regulations may require unplanned capital improvements, and increased engagement to manage occupant energy use, which is a large driver of building performance. Ifincluding through damage, destruction, loss at our properties, cannotincreased security costs, and limited availability of insurance for such acts. Such acts could impact our tenant’s ability to meet performance standards, we could be exposedobligations in their existing leases, make it difficult for us to finesrenew or re-lease our properties at lease rates equal to or above historical rates, or result in increased volatility in financial markets and economies.

As a result,limit our financial condition and resultsaccess to capital or increase our cost of operations could be adversely affected.raising capital.
We could incur significant costs related to environmental matters.
matters, and our efforts to identify environmental liabilities may not be successful.
Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, an owner or operator of real estate may be required to investigate and clean up hazardous or toxic substances or petroleum product releases at a property and may be held liable to a governmental entity or to third parties for property damage and for investigation and clean-up costs incurred bycost of clean-up. Some of the properties in our portfolio contain, may have contained or are adjacent to or near other properties that have contained or currently contain underground storage tanks for petroleum products or other hazardous or toxic substances, and some of our properties have tenants that may use hazardous or toxic substances in the course of their businesses. Indemnities in our leases may not fully protect us in the event that a tenant responsible for such parties in connection with contamination.releases becomes insolvent. The cost of investigation, remediation or removal of such substances may be substantial, and the presence of such substances, or the failure to properly remediate such substances,them, may adversely affect the owner’sour ability to sell or rent such property or to borrow using such property as collateral. In connection with the ownership, operation and management of real properties, we are potentially liable for removal or remediation costs, as well as certain other related costs, including governmental fines and injuries to persons and property.property, liens on contaminated sites, and restrictions on operations. We may also be liable to third parties for damage and injuries resulting from environmental contamination emanating from the real estate. Environmental laws also may create liens on contaminated sites in favor of the government for damages and costs it incurs to address such contamination. Moreover, if contamination is discovered on our properties, environmental laws may impose restrictions on the manner in which that property may be usedestate we own or how businesses may be operated on that property.
Some of the properties in our portfolio contain, may have contained or are adjacent to or near other properties that have contained or currently contain underground storage tanks for petroleum products or other hazardous or toxic substances. These tanks may have released, or have the potential to release, such substances into the environment. In addition, some of our properties have tenants that may use hazardous or toxic substances in the routine course of their businesses. In general, these tenants have covenanted in their leases with us to use these substances, if any, in compliance with all environmental laws and have agreed to indemnify us for any damages that we may suffer as a result of their use of such substances. However, these lease provisions may not fully protect us in the event that a tenant becomes insolvent.operate. Finally, certain of our properties have containedconfirmed asbestos-containing building materials or ACBM,(“ACBM”) and other properties may have containedcontain such materials based on the date of itsbuilding construction. Environmental laws require that ACBM be properly managed and maintained, and may impose fines and penalties on building owners or operators for failure to comply with these requirements. The laws also may allow third parties to seek recovery from owners or operators for personal injury associated with exposure to asbestos fibers.
Our efforts to identify environmental liabilities may not be successful.
We testevaluate our properties for compliance with applicable environmental laws on a limited basis. Webasis, and we cannot give assurance that:
that existing environmental studies with respect to our properties reveal all potential environmental liabilities;
any previous owner, occupantliabilities or tenant of one of our properties did not create any material environmental condition not known to us;
thethat current environmental condition of our properties will not be affected by tenants and occupants, by the condition of nearby properties, or by other unrelated third parties; or
future uses or conditions (including, without limitation, changes in applicable environmental laws and regulations or the interpretation thereof) or changes in environmental laws will not result in environmental liabilities.
Compliance with the Americans with Disabilities ActADA and fire, safety and other regulations may require us to make expenditures that adversely affect our cash flows and results of operations.
significant capital expenditures.
Our properties must comply with Title III of the ADA to the extent that such properties are public accommodations as defined by the ADA. The ADA may require removal of structural barriers to access by persons with disabilities in certain public areas of our properties where such removal is readily achievable. Noncompliance with the ADA could result in orders requiring us to spend substantial sums to cure violations, pay attorneys'attorneys’ fees, or pay other amounts. Although we believe theour properties in our portfolio substantially comply with the present requirements of the ADA, we have not conducted an audit or investigation of all of our properties to determine our compliance. While thecompliance, and while our tenants to whom our properties are leased are obligated by law to comply with the ADA provisions, and typically under tenant leases are obligated to cover costs associated with compliance, if required changes involve greater expenditures than anticipated, or if the changes must be made on a more accelerated basisfaster timelines than anticipated, the ability of these tenants to cover costs could be adversely affected. As a result, we could be required to expend funds to comply with the provisions of the ADA, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. In addition, we are required to operate the properties in compliance with fire and safety regulations, building codes and other land
use regulations, as they may beare adopted by governmental agencies and bodies and become applicable to the properties. We may be required to make substantial capital expenditures to comply with, and we may be restricted in our ability to renovate the properties subject to those requirements. The resulting expenditures and restrictionsthese requirements, which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to meet our financial obligations, as well asaffect our cash flows and results of operations.
Inflation may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Most of our leases contain provisions requiring the tenant to pay a share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance real estate taxes and insurance. In many of our leases, the tenant's obligation for common area maintenance or other operating expenses, may be based on a fixed amount ofor fixed percentage that is not subject to adjustment for inflation. However, increased inflation could have a more pronounced negative impact on our mortgage and debt interest and general and administrative expenses, as these costs could increase at a rate higher than our rents. Also, inflation may adversely affect tenant leases with stated rent increases or limits on such tenant’s obligation to pay its share of operating expenses, which could be lower than the increase in inflation at any given time. It may also limit our ability to recover all of our operating expenses. InflationIn addition, inflation could also have an adverse effect on consumer spending, which could impact our tenants’ sales and, in turn, our average rents, and in some cases, our percentage rents where applicable. In addition, renewals of leases or future leases may not be negotiated on current terms, in which event we may recover a smaller percentage of our operating expenses.
Rising interest rates could increase our borrowing costs, thereby adversely affecting our cash flows and the amounts available for distributions to our shareholders, as well as decrease our share price, if investors seek higher yields through other investments.
An environment of rising interest rates could lead investors to seek higher yields through other investments, which could adversely affect the market price of our common shares. One of the factors that may influence the price of our common shares in public markets is the rate of annual cash distributions we pay as compared with the yields on alternative investments. Several other factors, such as governmental regulatory action and tax laws, could have a significant impact on the future market price of our common shares. In addition, increases in market interest rates could result in increased borrowing costs for us, which may adversely affect our cash flow and the amounts available for distributions to our shareholders.
We and our tenants face risks relating to cybersecurity attacks that could cause loss of confidential information and other business disruptions.

We and our tenants rely extensively on computer systems to process transactions and manage our business, and although we utilizerespective businesses. Although various measures are utilized to prevent, detect and mitigate threats, we have been targeted by e-mail phishing attempts and scams in the past, and our business is at risk from, and may be impacted by, cybersecurity attacks. These could include attempts to gain unauthorized access to our data and computer systems. Attacks can be both individual and/or highly organized attempts by very sophisticated
hacking organizations. A cybersecurity attack could compromise the confidential information of our employees, tenants, and vendors. Additionally, we rely on a number of service providers and vendors, and cybersecurity risks at these service providers and vendors create additional risks for our information and business. A successful attack could lead to identity theft, fraud or other disruptions to our business operations, any of which may negatively affect ourus.
While we conduct periodic cybersecurity assessments and use the results of operations.
We employ a number of measures to prevent, detect and mitigate these threats. These prevention measures include password protection, frequent password change events, firewall detection systems, frequent backups, a redundant data system for core applications and penetration testing. We conduct periodic assessments of (i) the nature, sensitivity and location of information that we collect, process and store and the technology systems we use; (ii) internal and external cybersecurity threats to and vulnerabilities of our information and technology systems; (iii) security controls and processes currently in place; (iv) the impact should our technology systems become compromised; and (v) the effectiveness of our management of cybersecurity risk.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR ORGANIZATION AND STRUCTURE
Our organizational documents and Maryland law contain provisions that generally would prohibit any person (other than membersmay delay, defer or prevent a change in control of the Kite family who,Company, even if such a change in control may be in the best interest of our shareholders, and as a group, are currently allowed to own up to 21.5%result may depress the market price of our outstanding common shares) from beneficially owning more than 7% of our outstanding common shares (or up to 9.8% in the case of certain designated investment entities, as defined in our declaration of trust), which may discourage third parties from conducting a tender offer or seeking other change of control transactions that could involve a premium price for our shares or otherwise benefit our shareholders.

shareholders from being paid a premium for their common shares over the then-prevailing market prices.
(1) There are ownership limits and restrictions on transferability in our declaration of trust. In order for us to qualify as a REIT, no more than 50% of the value of our outstanding shares may be owned, actually or constructively, by five or fewer individuals at any time during the last half of each taxable year. To make sureensure that we will not fail to satisfy this requirement and for anti-takeover reasons, our declaration of trust generally prohibits any shareholder (other than an excepted holder or certain designated investment entities, as defined in our declaration of trust) from owning (actually, constructively or by attribution), more than 7% of the value or number of our outstanding common shares. Our declaration of trust provides an excepted holder limit that allows certain members of the Kite family (Al Kite, John Kite and Paul Kite, their family members and(and certain entities controlled by one or more of the Kites)Kite family members), as a group, to own more than 7% of our outstanding common shares, so long as, under thesubject to applicable tax attribution rules, no one excepted holder treated as an individual would hold more than 21.5% of our common shares, no two excepted holders treated as individuals would own more than 28.5% of our common shares, no three excepted holders treated as individuals would own more than 35.5% of our common shares, no four excepted holders treated as individuals would own more than 42.5% of our common shares, and no five excepted holders treated as individuals would own more than 49.5% of our common shares.rules. Currently, one of the excepted holders would be attributed all of the common shares owned by each other excepted holder and, accordingly, the excepted holders as a group would not be allowed to own in excess of 21.5% of our common shares. If at a later time there were not one excepted holder that would be attributed all of the shares owned by the excepted holders as a group, the excepted holder limit would not permit each excepted holder to own 21.5% of our common shares. Rather, the excepted holder limit would prevent two or more excepted holders who are treated as individuals under the applicable tax attribution rules from owning a higher percentage of our common shares than the maximum amount of common shares that could be owned by any one excepted holder (21.5%), plus the maximum amount of common shares that could be owned by any one or more other individual common shareholders who are not excepted holders (7%). Certain entities that are defined as designated investment entities in our declaration of trust, which generally include pension funds, mutual funds, and certain investment management companies, are permitted to own up to 9.8% of our outstanding common shares, so long as each beneficial owner of the shares owned by such designated investment entity would satisfy the 7% ownership limit if those beneficial owners owned directly their
proportionate share of the common shares owned by the designated investment entity. Our Board of Trustees may waive, and has waived in the past, the 7% ownership limit or the 9.8% designated investment entity limit for a shareholder that is not an individual if such shareholder provides information and makes representations that are satisfactorylimits subject to the Board of Trustees, in its reasonable discretion, to establish that such person’s ownership in excess of the 7% limit or the 9.8% limit, as applicable, would not jeopardize our qualification as a REIT.certain conditions. In addition, our declaration of trust contains certain other ownership restrictions intended to prevent us from earning income from related parties if such income would cause us to fail to comply with the REIT gross income requirements. The various ownership restrictions may:
may discourage a tender offer or other transactionschange of control transaction or compel a change in management or control that might involve a premium price forshareholder who has acquired our shares or otherwise be in the best interests of our shareholders; or
| |
• | compel a shareholder who has acquired our shares in excess of these ownership limitations to dispose of the additional shares and, as a result, to forfeit the benefits of owning the additional shares. Any acquisition of our common shares in violation of these ownership restrictions will be void ab initio and will result in automatic transfers of our common shares to a charitable trust, which will be responsible for selling the common shares to permitted transferees and distributing at least a portion of the proceeds to the prohibited transferees.

(2) Our declaration of trust permits our Board of Trustees to issue preferred shares with terms that may discourage a third party from acquiring us. Our declaration of trust permits our Board of Trustees to issue up to 40,000,00020,000,000 preferred shares, having those preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to distributions, qualifications, or terms or conditions of redemption as determined by our Board of Trustees. Thus, our Board of Trustees could authorize the issuance of additional preferred shares with terms and conditions that could have the effect of discouraging a takeover or other transaction in which holders of some or a majority of our shares might receive a premium for their shares over the then-prevailing market price of our shares. In addition, any preferred shares that we issue likely would rank senior to our common shares with respect to payment of distributions, in which case we could not pay any distributions on our common shares until full distributions were paid with respect to such preferred shares.
(3) Our declaration of trust and bylaws contain other possible anti-takeover provisions. Our declaration of trust and bylaws contain other provisions, such as advance notice requirements for shareholder proposals, the ability of our Board of Trustees’ to reclassify shares or issue additional shares, and the absence of cumulative voting rights that may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our company or the removal of existing managementmanagement.

Our Bylaws provide that the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland will be the exclusive forum for any internal corporate claims and other matters, which could limit our shareholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our trustees, executive officers, employees or shareholders.
“business combination moratorium/fair price” provisionsOur bylaws provide the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland, or, if that subjectCourt does not have jurisdiction, the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, Northern Division, shall be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any Internal Corporate Claim as defined under the MGCL, (ii) any derivative action or proceeding brought in the right or on behalf of the Company, (iii) any action asserting a claim of breach of any duty owed by any trustee, officer, employee or agent of the Company to limitations, prohibit certain business combinations betweenthe Company or our shareholders, (iv) any action asserting a claim against the Company or any trustee, officer, employee or agent of the Company arising pursuant to any provision of the MGCL, our Declaration of Trust or our bylaws or (v) any action asserting a claim against the Company or any trustee, officer, employee or agent of the Company that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine.
The federal district courts of the United States shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act. Since Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder, there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce an exclusive forum provision for actions arising under the Securities Act. The provision may limit a shareholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or our trustees, officers, employees or shareholders, which may discourage such lawsuits against us and our trustees, officers, employees or shareholders. Alternatively, if a court were to find the choice of forum provision contained in our bylaws to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an “interested shareholder” (defined generally as any person who beneficially owns 10% or more ofaction, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could materially and adversely affect us.
Our rights and the voting powerrights of our sharesshareholders to take action against our trustees and officers are limited.
Maryland law provides that a director or an affiliate thereof) for five years after the most recent date on which the shareholder becomes an interested shareholder,officer has limited liability in that capacity if he or she performs his or her duties in good faith and thereafter imposes stringent fair price and super-majority shareholder voting requirements on these combinations; and

We have opted out of these provisions of Maryland law. However, our Board of Trustees may opt to make these provisions applicable to us at any time.
A substantial number of common shares eligible for future issuance or sale could cause our common share price to decline significantly and may be dilutive to current shareholders.
Our declaration of trust authorizes our Board of Trustees to, among other things, issue additional common shares without shareholder approval. The issuance of substantial numbers of our common shares in the public market or the perception that such issuances might occur could adversely affect the per share trading price of our common shares. In addition, any such issuance could dilute our existing shareholders' interests in our company. Furthermore, if our shareholders sell, or the market perceives that our shareholders intend to sell, substantial amounts of our common shares in the public market, the market price of our common shares could decline significantly. These sales also might make it more difficult forand bylaws require us to sell equity or equity-related securitiesindemnify our trustees and officers for actions taken by them in those capacities to the extent permitted by Maryland law.
in the future at a time and price that we deem appropriate. As of December 31, 2019, we had outstanding 83,963,369 common shares, substantially all of which are freely tradable. In addition, 2,110,037 units of our Operating Partnership were owned by our executive officers and other individuals as of December 31, 2019, and are redeemable by the holder for cash or, at our election, common shares. Pursuant to registration rights of certain of our executive officers and other individuals, we filed a registration statement with the SEC to register common shares issued (or issuable upon redemption of units in our Operating Partnership) in our formation transactions. As units are redeemed for common shares, the market price of our common shares could drop significantly if the holders of such shares sell them or are perceived by the market as intending to sell them.
Certain officers and trustees may have interests that conflict with the interests of shareholders.
Certain of our officers own limited partner units in our Operating Partnership. These individuals may have personal interests that conflict with the interests of our shareholders with respect to business decisions affecting us and our Operating Partnership, such as interests in the timing and pricing of property sales or refinancing transactions in order to obtain favorable tax treatment. As a result, the effect of certain transactions on these unit holders may influence our decisions affecting these properties.
Departure or loss of our key officers could have an adverse effect on us.
Our future success depends, to a significant extent, upon the continued services of our existing executive officers. Theofficers, whose experience of our executive officers in the areas of real estate acquisition, development, finance and management is a critical element of our future success. We have entered into employment agreements with certain members of executive management.

Heightened focus on corporate responsibility, specifically related to environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) factors, may impose additional costs and expose us to risks that could adversely impact our financial condition and the price of our securities.
We are committed to sustainability and corporate responsibility, specifically related to environmental, social and governance factors. Some investors may use these factors to guide their investment strategies, and potential and current employees, vendors and business partners may consider these factors when establishing and extending relationships with us. We are focused on being a responsible corporate citizen and provide disclosure regarding our existing ESG programs within our ESG Policy and Corporate Citizenship Report, which is published on our website. The focus and activism related to ESG and related matters may constrain our business operations or increase expenses. Additionally, we may face reputational damage in the event our corporate responsibility initiatives do not meet the standards set by various constituencies, including those of third-party providers of corporate responsibility ratings and reports. Furthermore, should peer companies outperform us in such metrics, potential or current investors may elect to invest with our competitors and employees, vendors and business partners may choose not to do business with us, which could have an adverse impact on our financial condition and the price of our securities.
The cash available for distribution to shareholders may not be negatively affected.
sufficient to pay distributions at expected levels, nor can we assure you of our ability to make distributions in the future, and we may use borrowed funds to make cash distributions and/or may choose to make distributions in part payable in our common shares.
We depend on external capital to fund our capital needs.
To qualify as a REIT, we are required to distribute to our shareholders each year at least 90% of our “REIT taxable income” (determined before the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains). In order to eliminate U.S. federal income tax, we are required to distribute annually 100% of our net taxable income, including capital gains. Partly because of these distribution requirements, we may not be able to fund all future capital needs, including capital for property development, redevelopment and acquisitions, with income from operations. We therefore may have to rely on third-party sources of capital, which may or may not be available on favorable terms, if at all. Any additional debt we incur will increase our leverage, expose us to the risk of default and may impose operating restrictions on us, and any additional equity we raise could be dilutive to existing shareholders. Our access to third-party sources of capital depends on a number of things, including:
general market conditions;
the market’s perception of our growth potential;
our current debt levels;
our current and potential future earnings;
our cash flow and cash distributions;
our ability to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes; and
the market price of our common shares.
If we cannot obtain capital from third-party sources, we may not be able to acquire or develop properties when strategic opportunities exist, satisfy our principal and interest obligations or make distributions to our shareholders.
Our rights and the rights of our shareholders to take action against our trustees and officers are limited.
Maryland law provides that a director or officer has limited liability in that capacity if he or she performs his or her duties in good faith and in a manner that he or she reasonably believes to be in our best interests and that an ordinarily prudent person
in a like position would use under similar circumstances. Our declaration of trust and bylaws require us to indemnify our trustees and officers for actions taken by them in those capacities to the extent permitted by Maryland law.
Our shareholders have limited ability to prevent us from making any changes to our policies that they believe could harm our business, prospects, operating results or share price.
Our investment, financing, borrowing and dividend policies and our policies with respect to all other activities, including growth, debt, capitalization and operations, will be determined by our management and, in certain cases, approved by our Board of Trustees. These policies may be amended or revised from time to time at the discretion of our Board of Trustees without a vote of our shareholders. This means that our shareholders will have limited control over changes in our policies. Such changes in our policies intended to improve, expand or diversify our business may not have the anticipated effects and consequently may adversely affect our business and prospects, results of operations and share price.
Our common share price could be volatile and could decline, resulting in a substantial or complete loss of our shareholders’ investment.
The stock markets (including The New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) on which we list our common shares) have experienced significant price and volume fluctuations. The market price of our common shares could be similarly volatile, and investors in our shares may experience a decrease in the value of their shares, including decreases unrelated to our operating performance or prospects. Among the market conditions that may affect the market price of our publicly traded securities are the following:
our financial condition and operating performance and the performance of other similar companies;
actual or anticipated differences in our quarterly operating results;
changes in our revenues or earnings estimates or recommendations by securities analysts;
perceived or actual effects of e-commerce competition;
bankruptcy or negative publicity about one or more of our larger tenants;
our credit or analyst ratings;
publication by securities analysts of research reports about us, our industry, or the retail industry;
additions and departures of key personnel;
strategic decisions by us or our competitors, such as acquisitions, divestments, spin-offs, joint ventures, strategic investments or changes in business strategy;
the reputation of REITs generally and the reputation of REITs with portfolios similar to ours;
the attractiveness of the securities of REITs in comparison to securities issued by other entities (including securities issued by other real estate companies);
an increase in market interest rates, which may lead prospective investors to demand a higher distribution rate in relation to the price paid for our shares;
the passage of legislation or other regulatory developments that adversely affect us or our industry including tax reform;
speculation in the press or investment community;
actions by institutional shareholders, hedge funds or other investors;
increases or decreases in dividends;
changes in accounting principles;
terrorist acts; and
general market conditions, including factors unrelated to our performance.
In the past, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against companies following periods of volatility in their stock price. This type of litigation could result in substantial costs and divert our management’s attention and resources.
Changes in accounting standards may adversely impact our financial results.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”), in conjunction with the SEC, has issued and may issue key pronouncements that impact how we account for our material transactions, including, but not limited to, lease accounting, business combinations and the recognition of other revenues. We are unable to predict which, if any, proposals may be issued in the future or what level of impact any such proposal could have on the presentation of our consolidated financial statements, our results of operations and the financial ratio required by our debt covenants.
The cash available for distribution to shareholders may not be sufficient to pay distributions at expected levels, nor can we assure you of our ability to make distributions in the future. We may use borrowed funds to make cash distributions and/or may choose to make distributions in party payable in our common shares.
If cash available for distribution generated by our assets decreases in future periods from expected levels, our inability to make expected distributions could result in a decrease in the market price of our common shares. All distributions will be made at the discretion of our Board of Trustees and will depend on our earnings, our financial condition, maintenance of our REIT qualification and other factors as our Board of Trustees may deem relevant from time to time. We may not be able to make distributions in the future.future at current levels or at all. In addition, some of our distributions may include a return of capital. To the extent that we decide to make distributions in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits, such distributions would generally be considered a return of capital for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent of the holder’s adjusted tax basis in his or hertheir shares. A return of capital is not taxable, but it has the effect of reducing the holder’s adjusted tax basis in its investment. To the extent that distributions exceed the adjusted tax basis of a holder’s shares, they will be treated as gain from the sale or exchange of such shares. If we borrow to fund distributions, our future interest costs would increase, thereby reducing our earnings and cash available for distribution from what they otherwise would have been. Finally, although we do not currently intend to do so, in order to maintain our REIT qualification, we may make distributions that are in part payable in our common shares. Taxable shareholders receiving such distributions will be required to include the full amount of such distributions as ordinary dividend income to the extent of our current or accumulated earnings and profits and may be required to sell shares received in such distribution or may be required to sell other shares or assets owned by them, at a time that may be disadvantageous, in order to satisfy any tax imposed on such distribution. If a significant number of our shareholders determine to sell common shares in order to pay taxes owed on dividend income, such sale may put downward pressure on the market price of our common shares.
Future offerings of debt securities, which would be senior to our equity securities, may adversely affect the market prices of our common shares.
In the future, we may attempt to increase our capital resources by making offerings of debt securities, including unsecured notes, medium term notes, and senior or subordinated notes.notes, as well as debt securities that are convertible into equity. Holders of our debt securities will generally be entitled to receive interest payments, both current and in connection with any liquidation or sale, prior to the holders of our common shares being entitled to receive distributions.shares. Future offerings of debt securities, or the perception that such offerings may occur, may reduce the market pricesprice of our common shares and/or the distributions that we pay with respect to our
common shares. Because we may generally issue such debt securities in the future without obtaining the consent of our shareholders, our shareholders will bear the risk of our future offerings reducing the market prices of our equity securities.
If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, or if they downgrade their recommendations regarding our common shares, our share price and trading volume could be negatively affected.RISKSRELATED TO TAX MATTERS
If the Merger does not qualify as a reorganization, there may be adverse tax consequences.
The trading market for our shares is influenced byparties intend that the research and reports that industry or securities analysts publish about us or our business. If anyMerger will be treated as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the analysts who cover us downgrade ourCode, and it was a condition to the Merger that we and RPAI received opinions from each party’s respective counsel to the effect that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Merger constitutes a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. These tax opinions represent the legal judgment of counsel rendering the opinion and are not binding on the Internal Revenue Service or the courts. If the Merger were to fail to qualify as a reorganization, U.S. holders of shares of RPAI common stock generally would recognize gain or loss, as applicable, equal to the difference between (i) the sum of the fair market value of the Company’s common shares or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our share price may decline. If analysts cease coverageand cash in lieu of us or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibilityfractional common shares of the Company received by such holder in the financial markets, whichMerger; and (ii) such holder’s adjusted tax basis in turn could cause ourits RPAI common share pricestock.
We may incur adverse tax consequences if we fail, or trading volume to decline and our shares to be less liquid. An inactive market may also impair our ability to raise capital by selling shares and may impair our ability to acquire additional properties or other businesses by using our shares as consideration, which in turn could materially adversely affect our business. In addition, the stock market in general, and the NYSE and REITs in particular, have within the last year experienced significant price and volume fluctuations. These broad market and industry factors may decrease the market price of our shares, regardless of our actual operating performance. For these reasons, among others, the market price of our shares may decline substantially and quickly.
TAX RISKS
Failure of our companyRPAI has failed, to qualify as a REIT would have serious adverse consequences to us and our shareholders.
for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
We believe that we have qualified for taxation as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2004. We2004, and that RPAI had operated in a manner that allowed it to qualify as a REIT, and we intend to operate in a manner we believe allows us to continue to meet the requirements for qualification and taxationqualify as a REIT but we cannot assure shareholders that we will qualify as a REIT.for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We have not requested and do not plan to request a ruling from the IRS that we qualify as a REIT, and the statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are not binding on the IRS or any court. AsQualification as a REIT we generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on our income that we distribute currently to our shareholders. Manyinvolves the application of the REIT requirements, however, are highly technical and complex.complex provisions of the Code for which there are only limited judicial and administrative interpretations. The determination that we are a REIT requires an analysis of various factual matters and circumstances that may not be totallyentirely within our control. For example,control may affect our ability to qualify as a REIT, at least 95% of our gross income must come from specific passive sources, such as rent, that are itemized in the REIT tax laws.REIT. In addition,order to qualify as a REIT, we cannot own specified amountsand RPAI must satisfy a number of debtrequirements, including the ownership of our stock and equity securitiesthe composition of some issuers. We also are requiredour gross income and assets. Also, a REIT must make distributions to distribute to our shareholders with respect to each yearaggregating annually at least 90% of our “REITits net taxable income” (determined before the deduction for dividends paid and excludingincome (excluding any net capital gains). The fact that we hold substantially all of our assets through our Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries and joint ventures further complicates the application of the REIT requirements for us. Even a technical or inadvertent mistake could jeopardize our REIT status, and, given the highly complex nature of the rules governing REITs and the ongoing importance of factual determinations, we cannot provide any assurance that we will continue to qualify as a REIT. Furthermore, Congress and the IRS might make changes to the tax laws and regulations, and the courts might issue new ruling, that make it more difficult, or impossible, for us to remain qualified as a REIT.
If we fail to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes and are unable to avail ourselves of certain savings provisions set forth in the Code:Code, we will face serious tax consequences that would substantially reduce our cash available for distribution because:
We•we would be taxedsubject to U.S. federal income tax on our net income at regular corporate rates for the years we did not qualify for taxation as a non-REIT "C" corporation, which under current laws, among other things, meansREIT (and, for such years, would not being able to takebe allowed a deduction for distributionsdividends paid to shareholders in computing our taxable income or pass through long term capital gains to individual shareholders at favorable rates and beingincome);
•we could be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax (for taxable years beginning before December 31, 2017) and possibly increased state and local taxes;taxes for such periods;
We would not be able•unless we are entitled to relief under applicable statutory provisions, neither the Company nor any “successor” corporation, trust or association could elect to be taxed as a REIT for four yearsuntil the fifth taxable year following the year during which we first failedwere disqualified;
•if we were to qualify. Since we are the successor to Inland Diversified Real Estate Trust, Inc. ("Inland Diversified") for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of its merger with us (the "Merger"), the rule against re-electingre-elect REIT status, following a loss of such status also would apply to us if Inland Diversified failed to qualify as a REIT in any of its 2012 through 2014 tax years. Although Inland Diversified believed that it was organized and operated in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT for each of its taxable years prior to the Merger, Inland Diversified did not request a ruling from the IRS that it qualified as a REIT, and thus no assurance can be given that it qualified as a REIT;
Wewe would have to pay significant income taxes, which would reduce our net earnings available for investment or distribution to our shareholders. Moreover, such failure would cause an event of default under our unsecured revolving credit facility and unsecured term loans and may adversely affect our ability to raise capital and to service our debt. This likely would have a significant adverse effect on ourdistribute all earnings and profits from non-REIT years before the valueend of our securities. In addition,the first new REIT taxable year; and
•for the five years following re-election of REIT status, upon a taxable disposition of an asset owned as of such re-election, we would no longer be requiredsubject to paycorporate level tax with respect to any distributions to shareholders; andbuilt-in gain inherent in such asset at the time of re-election.
We would be required to pay penalty taxes of $50,000 or more for each such failure.
If Inland Diversified failed to qualify as aEven if we retain our REIT status, if RPAI loses its REIT status for a taxable year before the Merger, orwe will face serious tax consequences that would substantially reduce our cash available for distribution because:
•unless we are entitled to relief under applicable statutory provisions, the Company, as the “successor” trust to RPAI, could not elect to be taxed as a REIT until the fifth taxable year following the year during which RPAI was disqualified;
•the Company, as the successor by merger to RPAI, would be subject to any corporate income tax liabilities of RPAI, including penalties and interest;
•assuming that includeswe otherwise maintained our REIT qualification, we would be subject to tax on the built-in gain on each asset of RPAI existing at the time of the Merger and no relief is available, in connection withif we were to dispose of the MergerRPAI asset for up to five years following the Merger; and
•assuming that we otherwise maintained our REIT qualification, we would succeed to any earnings and profits accumulated by Inland DiversifiedRPAI for the taxable periods that it did not qualify as a REIT, and we would have to pay a special dividend and/or employ applicable deficiency dividend procedures (including significant interest payments to the IRS) to eliminate such earnings and profits.
In addition, if there is an adjustment to RPAI’s taxable income or dividends paid deductions, we could elect to use the deficiency dividend procedure in order to maintain RPAI’s REIT status. That deficiency dividend procedure could require us to make significant distributions to our shareholders and pay significant interest to the IRS.
As a result of these factors, our failure (before or after the Merger), or RPAI’s failure (before the Merger), to qualify as a REIT could impair our ability to expand our business and raise capital, and would materially adversely affect the value of our common shares.
We will pay some taxes even if we qualify as a REIT.
Even if we qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we will be required to pay certain U.S. federal, state and local taxes on our income and property. For example, we will be subject to income tax to the extent we distribute less than 100% of our REIT taxable income (including capital gains). Additionally, we will be subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax on
the amount, if any, by which dividends paid by us in any calendar year are less than the sum of 85% of our ordinary income, 95% of our capital gain net income and 100% of our undistributed income from prior years. Moreover, if we have net income from “prohibited transactions,” that income will be subject to a 100% penalty tax. In general, prohibited transactions are sales or other dispositions of property held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business. The determination as to whether a particular sale is a prohibited transaction depends on the facts and circumstances related to that sale. While we will undertake sales of assets if those assets become inconsistent with our long-term strategic or return objectives, we do not believe that those sales should be considered prohibited transactions, but there can be no assurance that the IRS would not contend otherwise. The need to avoid prohibited transactions could cause us to forego or defer sales of properties that might otherwise be in our best interest to sell.
In addition, any net taxable income earned directly by our taxable REIT subsidiaries,TRS, or through entities that are disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes as entities separate from our taxable REIT subsidiaries,TRS, will be subject to U.S. federal and possibly state corporate income tax. We have elected to treat Kite Realty Holdings, LLC as a taxable REIT subsidiary,TRS, and we may elect to treat other subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries in the future. In this regard, several provisions of the laws applicable to REITs and their subsidiaries ensure that a taxable REIT subsidiaryTRS will be subject to an appropriate level of U.S. federal income taxation. For example, a taxable REIT subsidiaryTRS is limited in its ability to deduct interest payments made to an affiliated REIT. In addition, the REIT has to pay a 100% penalty tax on some payments that it receives or on some deductions taken by the taxable REIT subsidiaries if the economic arrangements between the REIT, the REIT’s tenants, and the taxable REIT subsidiaryTRS are not comparable to similar arrangements between unrelated parties. Finally, some state and local jurisdictions may tax some of our income even though as a REIT we are not subject to U.S. federal income tax on that income because not all states and localities treat REITs the same way they are treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes. To the extent that we and our affiliates are required to pay U.S. federal, state and local taxes, we will have less cash available for distributions to our shareholders.
If Inland Diversified failed to qualify as a REIT for a taxable year before the Merger or the taxable year that includes the Merger and no relief is available, as a result of the Merger (a) we would inherit any corporate tax liabilities of Inland Diversified for Inland Diversified’s open tax years possibly extending back six years or Inland Diversified’s 2013 and 2014 tax years and (b) we would be subject to tax on the built-in gain on each asset of Inland Diversified existing at the time of the Merger if we were to dispose of the Inland Diversified asset within five years following the Merger (i.e. before July 1, 2019).
REIT distribution requirements may increase our indebtedness.
We may be required from time to time, under certain circumstances, to accrue income for tax purposes that has not yet been received. In such event, or upon our repayment of principal on debt, we could have taxable income without sufficient cash to enable us to meet the distribution requirements of a REIT. Accordingly, we could be required to borrow funds or liquidate investments on adverse terms in order to meet these distribution requirements. Additionally, the sale of properties resulting in significant tax gains could require higher distributions to our shareholders or payment of additional income taxes in order to maintain our REIT status.
Complying with REIT requirements may limit our ability to hedge effectively and may cause us to incur tax liabilities.
The REIT provisions of the Code may limit our ability to hedge our assets and operations. Under these provisions, any income that we generate from transactions intended to hedge our interest rate risk will be excluded from gross income for purposes of the REIT 75% and 95% gross income tests if the instrument hedges interest rate risk on liabilities used to carry or acquire real estate assets or manages the risk of certain currency fluctuations, and such instrument is properly identified under applicable Treasury Regulations. Income from hedging transactions that do not meet these requirements will generally constitute non-qualifying income for purposes of both the REIT 75% and 95% gross income tests. As a result of these rules, we may have to limit our use of hedging techniques that might otherwise be advantageous or implement those hedges through a taxable REIT subsidiary.
TRS. This could increase the cost of our hedging activities because our taxable REIT subsidiaryTRS would be subject to tax on gains or expose us to greater risks associated with changes in interest rates than we would otherwise want to bear. In addition, losses in our taxable REIT subsidiary will generally not provide any tax benefit, except for being carried back or forward against past or future taxable income in the taxable REIT subsidiary, provided, however, losses in our taxable REIT subsidiary arising in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017 may only be carried forward and may only be deducted against 80% of future taxable income in the taxable REIT subsidiary.
Complying with the REIT requirements may cause us to forgo and/or liquidate otherwise attractive investments.
To qualify as a REIT, we must continually satisfy tests concerning, among other things, (i) the sources of our income, (ii) the nature and diversification of our assets, (iii) the amounts that we distribute to our shareholders, and (iv) the ownership of our shares. ToIn order to meet these tests, we may be required to take actions we would otherwise prefer not to take or forgo taking actions that we would otherwise consider advantageous. For instance, in order to satisfy the gross income or asset tests applicable to REITs
under the Code, we may be required to forgo investments that we might otherwise would make. Furthermore, we may be required tomake or liquidate from our portfolio investments that otherwise attractive investments.would be considered attractive. In addition, we may be required to make distributions to shareholders at disadvantageous times or when we do not have funds readily available for distribution.available. These actions could reduce our income and amounts available for distribution to our shareholders. Thus, compliance with the REIT requirements may hinder our investment performance.
Dividends paid by REITs generally do not qualify for effective tax rates as low as dividends paid by non-REIT "C"“C” corporations.
The maximum rate applicable to “qualified dividend income” paid by non-REIT “C” corporations to certain non-corporate U.S. shareholders has been reduced by legislation to 23.8% (taking into account the 3.8% Medicare tax applicable to net investment income). Dividends payable by REITs, however, generally are not eligible for the reduced rates. Effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017 and before January 1, 2026, non-corporate shareholders may deduct 20% of their dividends from REITs (excluding qualified dividend income and capital gains dividends). For non-corporate shareholders in the top marginal tax bracket of 37%, the deduction for REIT dividends yields an effective income tax rate of 29.6% on REIT dividends, which is higher than the 20% tax rate on qualified dividend income paid by non-REIT “C” corporations. This does not adversely affect the taxation of REITs, however, it could cause certain non-corporate investors to perceive investments in REITs to be relatively less attractive than investments in the shares of non-REIT “C” corporations that pay dividends, which could adversely affect the value of our common shares.
If a transaction intended to qualify as an Internal Revenue Code Section 1031 tax-deferred exchange (a “1031 Exchange”) is later determined to be taxable, we may face adverse consequences.
From time to time, we may dispose of properties in transactions that are intended to qualify as 1031 Exchanges. It is possible that the qualification of a transaction as a 1031 Exchange could be challenged and determined to be currently taxable. In such case, our taxable income and earnings and profits would increase, which could increase the income applicable to our shareholders, which may require additional distributions to shareholders or, in lieu of that, require us to pay corporate income tax, possibly including interest and penalties. Moreover, it is possible that legislation could be enacted that could modify or repeal the laws with respect to 1031 Exchanges, which could make it more difficult or impossible for us to dispose of properties on a tax-deferred basis.
If the Operating Partnership fails to qualify as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we could fail to qualify as a REIT and suffer other adverse consequences.
consequences.
We believe that our Operating Partnership is organized and operated in a manner so as to be treated as a partnership and not an association or a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a partnership, our Operating Partnership is not subject to U.S. federal income tax on its income. Instead, each of the partners is allocated its share of our Operating Partnership’s income. No assurance can be provided, however, that the IRS will not challenge our Operating Partnership’s status as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes or that a court would not sustain such a challenge. If the IRS waswere successful in treating our Operating Partnership as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we would fail to meet the gross income tests and certain of the asset tests applicable to REITs and, accordingly, would cease to qualify as a REIT. Also, the failure of the Operating Partnership to qualify as a partnership would cause it to become subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax, which would reduce significantly the amount of its cash available for distribution to its partners, including us.
There is a risk that the tax laws applicable to REITs may change.
The IRS, the United StatesU.S. Treasury Department and Congress frequently review U.S. federal income tax legislation, regulations and other guidance. The Company cannot predict whether, when or to what extent new U.S. federal tax laws, regulations, interpretations or rulings will be adopted. Any legislative action may prospectively or retroactively modify the Company'sCompany’s tax treatment and, therefore, may adversely affect our taxation or the taxation of our shareholders. We urge you to consult with your tax advisor with respect to the status of legislative, regulatory or administrative developments and proposals and their potential effect on an investment in our stock. Although REITs generally receive certain tax advantages compared to entities taxed as non-REIT “C” corporations, it is possible that future legislation would result in a REIT having fewer tax advantages, and it could become more advantageous for a company that invests in real estate to elect to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a non-REIT “C” corporation.

New leases were signed on 114132 individual spaces for 0.50.7 million square feet of GLA (35.5%(24.2% cash leasing spread and 44.8% GAAP leasing spread on 6467 comparable leases), while renewal leases were signed on 188231 individual spaces for 1.51.8 million square feet of GLA (3.3%(6.9% cash leasing spread and 7.5% GAAP leasing spread on 178 comparable leases). Total executed leases includes leasing activity for the legacy RPAI portfolio from October 22, 2021 through December 31, 2021.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are not subject to any material litigation nor, to management’s knowledge, is any material litigation currently threatened against us. We are parties to routine litigation, claims, and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of
business. Management believes that such matters will not have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows taken as a whole.
As previously disclosed in our joint proxy statement/prospectus, beginning on August 27, 2021, two purported RPAI stockholders filed substantially similar complaints against RPAI and the members of the RPAI board of directors (the “RPAI Board”) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. One of these complaints also named Kite Realty and Merger Sub as defendants. The complaints were captioned as follows: Wang v. Retail Properties of America, Inc. et al., No. 1:21-cv-07237 (S.D.N.Y. filed August 27, 2021); and Hopkins v. Retail Properties of America, Inc. et al., No. 1:21-cv-07324 (S.D.N.Y. filed August 31, 2021). The complaints variously asserted, among other things, claims under Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Rule 14a-9 promulgated thereunder against RPAI and the members of the RPAI Board and claims under Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act against the members of the RPAI Board (and, in one case, Kite Realty and Merger Sub) for allegedly causing a materially incomplete and misleading registration statement on Form S-4 to be filed on August 23, 2021 with the SEC. Four additional lawsuits were filed against RPAI and the members of the RPAI Board between September 14, 2021 and October 8, 2021 under the captions Callebs v. Retail Properties of America, Inc. et al., No. 1:21-cv-07593 (S.D.N.Y. filed September 10, 2021); Sheridan v. Retail Properties of America, Inc., et al., No. 1:21-cv-04066-SCJ (N.D.Ga. filed October 1, 2021); Whitfield v. Retail Properties of America, Inc. et al., No. 2:21-cv-04390 (E.D.Pa. filed October 6, 2021); and Reinhardt v Retail Properties of America, Inc. et al., No. 1:21-cv-04187 (N.D. Ga. filed October 8, 2021), which were substantially similar to the other two complaints. Also, on September 15, 2021, a purported Kite Realty shareholder filed a complaint against Kite Realty and the members of the Kite Realty board of trustees in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, captioned as follows: Gentry v. Kite Realty Group Trust et al., No. 1:21-cv-05142 (E.D.N.Y. filed September 15, 2021). The complaint asserted substantially similar claims under Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14a-9 as the other complaints against RPAI and the RPAI Board.
Plaintiffs sought, among other things, to enjoin or rescind the Merger, an award of damages in the event the Merger was consummated, and an award of costs and attorneys’ fees. Subsequent to completion of the RPAI merger, and subsequent to December 31, 2021, the lawsuits described in the preceding paragraph were voluntarily dismissed. We believe that the claims asserted in the actions were without merit.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED SHAREHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
Market Information
Our common shares are currently listed and traded on the NYSENew York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) under the symbol “KRG.” On February 14, 2020,24, 2022, the closing price of our common shares on the NYSE was $17.92. $21.91.
Holders
The number of registered holders of record of our common shares was 1,14310,651 as of February 14, 2020.24, 2022. This total excludes beneficial or non-registered holders that held their shares through various brokerage firms. This figure does not represent the actual number of beneficial owners of our common shares because our common shares are frequently held in “street name” by securities dealers and others for the benefit of beneficial owners who may vote the shares.
Distributions, if any, will be declared and paid at the discretion of our Board of Trustees and will depend upon a number of factors, including cash generated by operating activities, our financial condition, capital requirements, annual distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the Code, and such other factors as our Board of Trustees deem relevant.
Distributions by us to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits for U.S. federal income tax purposes will be taxable to shareholders as either ordinary dividend income or capital gain income if so declared by us. Distributions in excess of taxable earnings and profits generally will be treated as a non-taxable return of capital. These distributions, to the extent that they do not exceed the shareholder’s adjusted tax basis in its common shares, have the effect of deferring taxation until the sale of a shareholder’s common shares. To the extent that distributions are both in excess of taxable earnings and profits and in excess of the shareholder’s adjusted tax basis in its common shares, the distribution will be treated as gain from the sale of common shares. In order to maintain our qualification as a REIT, we must make annual distributions to shareholders of at least 90% of our “REIT taxable income” (determined before the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains) and we must make distributions to shareholders equal to 100% of our net taxable income to eliminate U.S. federal income tax liability. Under certain circumstances, we could be required to make distributions in excess of cash available for distributions in order to meet such requirements. For the taxable year ended December 31, 2019,2021, approximately 35%13.4% of our distributions to shareholders constituted a return of capital and approximately 35%86.6% constituted taxable capital gains dividends, and approximately 30% constituted taxable ordinary income dividends.
Under our unsecured revolving credit facility,Revolving Facility, we are permitted to make distributions to our shareholders provided that no event of default exists. If an event of default exists, we may only make distributions sufficient to maintain our REIT status. However, we may not make any distributions if any event of default resulting from nonpayment or bankruptcy exists, or if our obligations under the unsecured revolving credit facilityRevolving Facility are accelerated.
Issuer Repurchases; Unregistered Sales of Securities
During the three months ended December 31, 2019,2021, certain of our employees surrendered common shares owned by them to satisfy their statutory minimum U.S. federal and state tax obligations associated with the vesting of restricted common shares of beneficial interest issued under our Plan. These shares were repurchased by the Company.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto and Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. In this discussion, unless the context suggests otherwise, references to “our Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” mean Kite Realty Group Trust and its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including Kite Realty Group, L.P.
Overview
In the following overview, we discuss, among other things, the status of our business and properties, the effect that current United StatesU.S. economic conditions is having on our retail tenants and us, and the current state of the financial markets and how it impacts our financing strategy.
Our Business and Properties
Kite Realty Group Trust is a publicly-heldpublicly held real estate investment trust which, through its majority-owned subsidiary, Kite Realty Group, L.P., owns interests in various operating subsidiaries and joint ventures engaged in the ownership, and operation, acquisition, development and redevelopment of high-quality, neighborhoodopen-air shopping centers and community shopping centersmixed-use assets in select markets in the United States. We derive revenues primarily from activities associated with the collection of contractual rents and reimbursement payments from tenants at our properties. OurTherefore, our operating results therefore depend materially on, among other things, the ability of our tenants to make required lease payments, the health and resilience of the United StatesU.S. retail sector, interest rate volatility, job growth and real estate market and overall economic conditions.
As of December 31, 2019,2021, we owned interests in 90180 operating and redevelopmentretail properties totaling approximately 17.429.0 million square feet and one office property with 0.3 million square feet. Of the 180 operating retail properties, 11 contain an office component. We also owned oneeight development projectprojects under construction as of this date.
Merger with RPAI
On October 22, 2021, we completed the merger with RPAI in accordance with the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated July 18, 2021 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, its wholly owned subsidiary KRG Oak, LLC (“Merger Sub”) and RPAI, pursuant to which RPAI merged with and into Merger Sub (the “Merger”). Immediately following the closing of the Merger, Merger Sub merged with and into the Operating Partnership so that all of the assets and liabilities of the Company continue to be held at or below the Operating Partnership level. As a result of the Merger, we acquired 100 operating retail properties and five active development projects along with multiple parcels of entitled land for future value creation, creating a top five open-air shopping center REIT. The combined high-quality, open-air portfolio is a mixture of predominantly necessity-based, grocery-anchored neighborhood and community centers, combined with vibrant mixed-use assets. The Merger serves to more than double the Company’s presence in high-growth markets that have mild or temperate climates and no or relatively low income taxes, while also introducing and/or enhancing its presence in strategic gateway markets. In addition, the combined company has additional opportunities to further increase shareholder value, including leasing of pandemic-related vacancies, optimizing NOI margins, lowering the Company’s cost of capital, and completing select development projects. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, each outstanding share of RPAI common stock converted into the right to receive 0.623 common shares of the Company plus cash in lieu of fractional Company shares. The Operating Partnership issued an equivalent amount of General Partner Units to the Parent Company.
Portfolio Update
As has become more evident since the COVID-19 pandemic began and as we began to operate as a combined company, high-quality real estate located in high-quality markets matters. Open-air centers are thriving for a variety of reasons including their ability to act as last mile fulfillment centers and their convenient and affordable nature for retailers and consumers. This includes conveniently located and easily accessible parking fields, lower operating costs as compared to other retail formats, and essential anchors that drive daily trips. In addition, the Company’s property types are particularly suited for retailers’ current and evolving needs, including curbside pick-up and buying online and picking up in store (“BOPIS”), that we believe will benefit from tenant demand for additional space. The strength of the Company’s real estate is evidenced by our continued strong cash leasing spreads and ABR for the retail portfolio of $19.36 per square foot. The Company has continued to improve its asset quality and through its Merger with RPAI, acquired a refined portfolio of high-quality, open-air shopping centers and mixed-use assets.
In evaluating potential acquisition, development, and redevelopment opportunities, we look for strong sub-markets where average household income, educational attainment, population density, traffic counts and daytime workforce populations are above the broader market average. We also focus on locations that are benefittingbenefiting from current population migratory patterns, namely major cities in business-friendly states with no or relatively low income taxes, and mild or temperate climates. In our largest sub-markets, household incomes are significantly higher and state income taxes are relatively lower than the medians for thosethe broader markets.
In February 2019, we announced a plan to market and sell up to $500 million in non-core assets as part of a program designed to improve the Company’s portfolio quality, reduce its leverage, and focus operations on markets where we believe the Company can gain scale and generate attractive risk-adjusted returns. This program ("Project Focus 2019") was completed in October 2019. The majority of the net proceeds were used to repay debt, further strengthening our balance sheet.
In addition to the delevering, we improved the quality of our portfolio. We increased the ABR of our portfolio to $17.83 as the retail assets sold had a weighted average ABR of $14.66, which is significantly lower than our current portfolio.
In addition to targeting sub-markets with strong consumer demographics, we focus on having the most desirable tenant mix at each center. We have aggressively targeted and executed leases with prominent grocers including Publix, Aldi, Whole Foods, and Trader Joe's,Joe’s, expanding retailers such as TJ Maxx, Ross Dress for Less, Burlington, and Old Navy, service and restaurant retailers such as and other retailers such as Ulta Beauty, REI, Party CityFive Below and Total Wine. Additionally, we have identified cost-efficient ways to relocate, re-tenant and renegotiate leases at several of our properties allowing us to attract more suitable tenants.
Capital and Financing Activities
Our ability to obtain capital on satisfactory terms and to refinance borrowings as they mature is affected by the condition of the economy in general and by the financial strength of properties securing borrowings.
With the successful completion of Project Focus in 2019,In 2021, we were able to enhance our already-strong balance sheet, increase our financial flexibility, and improve our liquidity to fund future growth.growth with our transformative Merger with RPAI. Prior to the Merger, we had taken various steps to enhance our liquidity, including the issuance of $175.0 million of Exchangeable Notes in the first quarter of 2021 to proactively fund our 2022 debt maturities. We ended the year2021 with approximately $614.8 million$1.0 billion of combined cash and borrowing capacity on our unsecured revolving credit facility.Revolving Facility. In addition, as of December 31, 2019,2021, we did not have anyhad $153.5 million of debt principal scheduled to mature through December 31, 2021.
2022 that we expect to retire using cash on hand and short-term deposits.
The amount that we may borrow under our unsecured revolving credit facility is limited by the value of the assets in our unencumbered asset pool. As of December 31, 2019, the value of the assets in our unencumbered asset pool was $1.4 billion.
Thethree investment grade credit ratings we have receivedmaintain provide us with access to the unsecured public bond market, which we may continue to use in the future to finance acquisition activity, repay maturing debt and fix interest rates.
Summary of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. As disclosed in Note 2, the preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We believe that the following discussion addresses our most critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to the compilation of our financial condition and results of operations and, in some cases, require management’s most difficult, subjective, and complex judgments.
Valuation of Investment Properties
Management reviews operational and development projects, land parcels and intangible assets for impairment on a property-by-property basis on at least a quarterly basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. This review for possible impairment requires certain assumptions, estimates, and significant judgment. Impairment losses for investment properties and intangible assets are measured when the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by the investment properties during the expected holding period are less than the carrying amounts of those assets. The evaluation of impairment is subject to certain management assumptions including projected net operating income, anticipated hold period, expected capital expenditures and the capitalization rate used to estimate the property's residual value. Impairment losses are recorded as the excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair value of the asset. Our impairment review for land and development properties assumes we have the intent and the ability to complete the developments or projected uses for the land parcels. If we determine those plans will not be completed or our assumptions with respect to operating assets are not realized, an impairment loss may be appropriate.
Depreciation may be accelerated for a redevelopment project, including partial demolition of existing structures after the asset is assessed for impairment.
Operating properties will be classified as held for sale only when those properties are available for immediate sale in their present condition and for which management believes it is probable that a sale of the property will be completed within one year, among other factors. Operating properties classified as held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Depreciation and amortization are suspended during the held-for-sale period.
Our operating properties have operations and cash flows that can be clearly distinguished from the rest of our activities. Historically, the operations reported in discontinued operations include those operating properties that were sold or were considered
held for sale and for which operations and cash flows can be clearly distinguished. The operations from these properties are eliminated from ongoing operations, and we will not have a continuing involvement after disposition. In 2014, we adopted the provisions of ASU 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, which will result in fewer real estate sales being classified within discontinued operations, as only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations will be presented as discontinued operations. No properties that have been sold, or designated as held-for-sale, since the adoption of ASU 2014-08, have met the revised criteria for classification within discontinued operations.
Acquisition of Real Estate Investments
Upon acquisition of real estate operating properties, we estimate the fair value of acquired identifiable tangible assets and identified intangible assets and liabilities, assumed debt, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the date of acquisition, based on evaluation of information and estimates available at that date. Based on these estimates, we record the estimated fair value to the applicable assets and liabilities. In making estimates of fair values, a number of sources are utilized, including information obtained as a result of pre-acquisition due diligence, marketing and leasing activities. The estimates of fair value were determined to have primarily relied upon Level 2 and Level 3 inputs, as defined below.
Fair value is determined for tangible assets and intangibles, including:
| |
• | the fair value of the building on an as-if-vacant basis and the fair value of land determined either by comparable market data, real estate tax assessments, independent appraisals or other relevant data;
|
| |
• | above-market and below-market in-place lease values for acquired properties, which are based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over the remaining non-cancelable term of the leases. Any below-market renewal options are also considered in the in-place lease values. The capitalized above-market and below-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of or addition to rental income over the term of the lease. Should a tenant vacate, terminate its lease, or otherwise notify us of its intent to do so, the unamortized portion of the lease intangibles would be charged or credited to income;
|
| |
• | the value of having a lease in place at the acquisition date. We utilize independent and internal sources for our estimates to determine the respective in-place lease values. Our estimates of value are made using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers. Factors we consider in our analysis include an estimate of costs to execute similar leases including tenant improvements, leasing commissions and foregone costs and rent received during the estimated lease-up period as if the space was vacant. The value of in-place leases is amortized to expense over the remaining initial terms of the respective leases; and
|
| |
• | the fair value of any assumed financing that is determined to be above or below market terms. We utilize third party and independent sources for our estimates to determine the respective fair value of each mortgage payable. The fair market value of each mortgage payable is amortized to interest expense over the remaining initial terms of the respective loan.
|
We also consider whether there is any value to in-place leases that have a related customer relationship intangible value. Characteristics we consider in determining these values include the nature and extent of existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenant’s credit quality, and expectations of lease renewals, among other factors. To date, a tenant relationship has not been developed that is considered to have a current intangible value.
Revenue Recognition
As a lessor of real estate assets, the Company retains substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership and accounts for its leases as operating leases.
Contractual minimum base rent, percentage rent, and expense reimbursements from tenants for common area maintenance costs, insurance and real estate taxes are our principal sources of revenue. Base minimum rents are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases. Certain lease agreements contain provisions that grant additional rents based on a tenant’s sales volume (contingent overage rent). Overage rent is recognized when tenants achieve the specified sales targets as defined in their lease agreements. Overage rent is included in rental income in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2019. If we determine that collectibility is probable, we recognize income from rentals
based on the methodology described above. We have accounts receivable due from tenants and are subject to the risk of tenant defaults and bankruptcies that may affect the collection of outstanding receivables. These receivables are reduced for credit loss that is recognized as a reduction to rental income. We regularly evaluate the collectibility of these lease-related receivables by analyzing past due account balances and consider such facts as the credit quality of our customer, historical write-off experience, tenant credit-worthiness and current economic trends when evaluating the collectibility of rental income. Although we estimate uncollectible receivables and provide for them through charges against income, actual experience may differ from those estimates.
We recognize the sale of real estate when control transfers to the buyer. As part of our ongoing business strategy, we will, from time to time, sell land parcels and outlots, some of which are ground leased to tenants.
Fair Value Measurements
We follow the framework established under accounting standard FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, for measuring fair value of non-financial assets and liabilities that are not required or permitted to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis but only in certain circumstances, such as a business combination or upon determination of impairment.
Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets are categorized based on the inputs to the valuation techniques as follows:
| |
• | Level 1 fair value inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments to which we have access.
|
| |
• | Level 2 fair value inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for similar instruments, either directly or indirectly, and appropriately consider counterparty creditworthiness in the valuations.
|
| |
• | Level 3 fair value inputs reflect our best estimate of inputs and assumptions market participants would use in pricing an instrument at the measurement date. The inputs are unobservable in the market and significant to the valuation estimate.
|
In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. As discussed in Note 8 to the Financial Statements, we have determined that derivative valuations are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, escrows and deposits, and other working capital balances approximate fair value.
Note 6 to the Financial Statements includes a discussion of the fair values recorded when we recognized impairment charges in 2019, 2018 and 2017. Level 3 inputs to these transactions include our estimations of disposal values.
Income Taxes and REIT Compliance
Parent Company
The Parent Company, which is considered a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, has been organized and intends to continue to operate in a manner that will enable it to maintain its qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. As a result, it generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the earnings that it distributes to the extent it distributes its “REIT taxable income” (determined before the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains) to shareholders of the Parent Company and meets certain other requirements on a recurring basis. To the extent that it satisfies this distribution requirement, but distributes less than 100% of its taxable income, it will be subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax on its undistributed REIT taxable income. REITs are subject to a number of organizational and operational requirements. If the Parent Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate rates for a period of four years following the year in which qualification is lost. We may also be subject to certain U.S. federal, state and local taxes on our income and property and to federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed taxable income even if the Parent Company does qualify as a REIT. The Operating Partnership intends to continue to make distributions to the Parent Company in amounts sufficient to assist the Parent Company in adhering to REIT requirements and maintaining its REIT status.
We have elected to treat Kite Realty Holdings, LLC as a taxable REIT subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, and we may elect to treat other subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries in the future. This election enables us to receive income and provide services that would otherwise be impermissible for a REIT. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are established for temporary differences between the financial reporting bases and the tax bases of assets and liabilities at the tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
Operating Partnership
The allocated share of income and loss, other than the operations of our taxable REIT subsidiary, is included in the income tax returns of the Operating Partnership's partners. Accordingly, the only U.S. federal income taxes included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements are in connection with the taxable REIT subsidiary.
Inflation
Inflation rates have been near historical lows in recent years and, therefore, have not had a significant impact on our results of operations. Most of our leases contain provisions designed to mitigate the adverse impact of inflation by requiring the tenant to pay its share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance, or include a fixed amount for these costs that escalates over time, thereby reducing our exposure to increases in operating expenses resulting from inflation. Also, most of our leases have original terms of fewer than ten years, which enables us to adjust rental rates to market upon lease renewal.
Results of Operations
As of December 31, 2019,2021, we owned interests in 90180 operating retail properties, one office property and redevelopment properties and oneeight development projectprojects currently under construction. Of the 180 operating retail properties, 11 contain an office component. The following table sets forth the total operating and redevelopment properties and development projects that we owned as of December 31, 2019, 20182021, 2020 and 2017:2019:

The comparability of results of operations is affected by our Merger with RPAI completed on October 22, 2021, in which we acquired 100 operating retail properties as well as five active development projects, along with the development, redevelopment, and operating property acquisition and disposition activities in 20182019 through 2019.2021. Therefore, we believe it is most useful to review the comparisons of our results of operations for these years (as set forth below under “Comparison of Operating Results for the Years Ended December 31, 20192021 and 20182020”) in conjunction with the discussion of these activities during those periods, which is set forth below.
Property Acquisition Activities
DuringResults from operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 reflect the combined operation for the approximately two and a half months since the Company’s Merger with RPAI on October 22, 2021. In the future, our results of operations will reflect the combined operations for the entire period presented. Therefore, our historical financial statements may not be indicative of future operations results.

Net Operating Income and Same Property Net Operating Income
We use property net operating income (“NOI”), a non-GAAP financial measure, to evaluate the performance of our properties. We define NOI as income from our real estate, including lease termination fees received from tenants, less our property operating expenses. NOI excludes amortization of capitalized tenant improvement costs and leasing commissions and certain corporate level expenses.expenses, including merger and acquisition costs. We believe that NOI is helpful to investors as a measure of our operating performance because it excludes various items included in net income that do not relate to or are not indicative of our operating performance, such as depreciation and amortization, interest expense, and impairment, if any.
We also use same property NOI ("(“Same Property NOI"NOI”), a non-GAAP financial measure, to evaluate the performance of our retail properties. Same Property NOI excludes properties that have not been owned for the full period presented. It also excludes net gains from outlot sales, straight-line rent revenue, lease termination fees,income in excess of lost rent, amortization of lease intangibles and significant prior period expense recoveries and adjustments, if any. When we receive payments in excess of any accounts receivable for terminating a lease, Same Property NOI will include such excess payments as monthly rent until the earlier of the expiration of 12 months or the start date of a replacement tenant. We believe that Same Property NOI is helpful to investors as a measure of our operating performance because it includes only the NOI of properties that have been owned for the full period presented, whichpresented. We believe such presentation eliminates disparities in net income due to the acquisition or disposition of properties during the particular periodperiods presented and thus provides a more consistent metric for the comparison of our properties. Full year Same Property NOI representsincludes the sumresults of properties that have been owned for the four quarters, as reported.
entire current and prior year reporting periods.
NOI and Same Property NOI should not, however, be considered as alternatives to net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP) as indicators of our financial performance. Our computation of NOI and Same Property NOI may differ from the methodology used by other REITs and, therefore, may not be comparable to such other REITs.
When evaluating the properties that are included in the same property pool, we have established specific criteria for determining the inclusion of properties acquired or those recently under development. An acquired property is included in the same property pool when there is a full quarter of operations in both years subsequent to the acquisition date. Development and redevelopment properties are included in the same property pool four full quarters after the properties have been transferred to the operating portfolio. A redevelopment property is first excluded from the same property pool when the execution of a redevelopment plan is likely and we (a) begin recapturing space from tenants.tenants or (b) the contemplated plan significantly impacts the operations of the property. At December 31, 2019,2021, the same property pool excluded four properties in redevelopment, one(i) the recently completed Glendale Town Center and Eddy Street Commons – Phase II development projects, (ii) eight active development and redevelopment one acquired property,projects, (iii) the 2020 acquisition of Eastgate Crossing, (iv) the legacy RPAI portfolio, and three commercial(v) office properties.

Funds From Operations
Funds from Operations ("FFO"(“FFO”) is a widely used performance measure for real estate companies and is provided here as a supplemental measure of operating performance. We calculate FFO, a non-GAAP financial measure, in accordance with the best practices described in the April 2002 National Policy Bulletin of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"(“NAREIT”), as restated in 2018. The NAREIT white paper defines FFO as net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding depreciation and amortization related to real estate, gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets, gains and losses from change in control, and impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity.
Considering the nature of our business as a real estate owner and operator, the Company believes that FFO is helpful to investors in measuring our operational performance because it excludes various items included in net income that do not
relate to or are not indicative of our operating performance, such as gains or losses from sales of depreciated property and depreciation and amortization, which can make periodic and peer analyses of operating performance more difficult. FFO excludes the gain on the sale of the ground lease portfolios as these sales were part of our capital strategy distinct from our ongoing operating strategy of selling individual land parcels from time to time. FFO (a) should not be considered as an alternative to net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP) for the purpose of measuring our financial performance, (b) is not an alternative to cash flow from operating activities (calculated in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our liquidity, and (c) is not indicative of funds available to satisfy our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions. Our computation of FFO may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not define the term in accordance with the
current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do. For informational purposes, we have also provided FFO adjusted for loss on debt extinguishment.
From time to time, the Company may report or provide guidance with respect to “NAREIT FFO as adjusted” which removes the impact of certain non-recurring and non-operating transactions or other items the Company does not consider to be representative of its core operating results including, without limitation, gains or losses associated with the early extinguishment of debt, gains or losses associated with litigation involving the Company that is not in the normal course of business, merger and acquisition costs, the impact on earnings from executive separation, andemployee severance, the excess of redemption value over carrying value of preferred stock redemption, and the impact of 2020 bad debt or the collection of 2020 accounts receivable previously written off (“2020 Collection Impact”), which are not otherwise adjusted in the Company’s calculation of FFO.
Our calculations of FFO1 and reconciliation to consolidated net income and FFO, as adjusted, for the years ended December 31, 2019, 20182021, 2020 and 20172019 (unaudited) are as follows:

Earnings before Interest, Tax, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA)
We define EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, as net income before depreciation and amortization, interest expense and income tax expense of taxable REIT subsidiary.the TRS. For informational purposes, we have also providedprovide Adjusted EBITDA, which we define as EBITDA less (i) EBITDA from unconsolidated entities, (ii) gains on sales of operating properties or impairment charges, (iii) merger and acquisition costs, (iv) other income and expense, (iv)(v) noncontrolling interest EBITDA, and (v)(vi) other non-recurring activity or items impacting comparability from period to period. Annualized Adjusted EBITDA is Adjusted EBITDA for the most recent quarter multiplied by four. Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA is our share of net debt divided by Annualized Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Annualized Adjusted EBITDA and Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA, as calculated by us, are not comparable to EBITDA and EBITDA-related measures reported by other REITs that do not define EBITDA and EBITDA-related measures exactly as we do. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Annualized Adjusted EBITDA do not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered alternatives to net income as an indicator of performance or as alternatives to cash flows from operating activities as an indicator of liquidity.
Considering the nature of our business as a real estate owner and operator, we believe that EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and the ratio of Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA are helpful to investors in measuring our operational performance because they exclude various items included in net income that do not relate to or are not indicative of our operating performance, such as gains or losses from sales of depreciated property and depreciation and amortization, which can make periodic and peer analyses of operating performance more difficult. For informational purposes, we have also providedprovide Annualized Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted as described above. We believe this supplemental information provides a meaningful measure of our operating performance. We believe presenting EBITDA and the related measures in this manner allows investors and other interested parties to form a more meaningful assessment of our operating results.

The net increase of $6.0$13.4 million in rental income for properties that were fully operational during 20182020 and 20192021 is attributable to an increase in rental rates along with an increase in occupancy. Rental income for recently completed redevelopment projects and acquisitions increased $0.9 million primarily due to the completionimproved collection activity leading to a decrease in bad debt expense, which contributed a positive variance of Rampart Commons$10.7 million on billed rent and acquisition$5.1 million on straight-line rent. These positive variances were partially offset by lower base minimum rent of Nora Plaza.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Our primary finance and capital strategy is to maintain a strong balance sheet with sufficient flexibility to fund our operating and investment activities in a cost-effective manner. We consider a number of factors when evaluating our level of indebtedness and when making decisions regarding additional borrowings or equity offerings, including the estimated value of properties to be developedinterest or acquired,dividend rate, the estimated market value of our propertiesmaturity date and the Company’s debt maturity ladder, the impact of financial metrics such as overall Company as a whole upon placement of the borrowing or offering,leverage levels and coverage ratios, and the Company’s ability of particular properties to generate cash flow to cover debt service. We will continue to monitor the capital markets and may consider raising additional capital through the issuance of our common or preferred shares, unsecured debt securities, or other securities.
One of the benefits of the Merger was a strengthened balance sheet to provide the Company with increased liquidity, a well-staggered debt maturity ladder, and an appropriately sized development pipeline. As part of the Merger, we assumed an $850.0 million revolving line of credit, of which the borrowing capacity was $793.5 million as of December 31, 2021, along with other indebtedness.
Prior to the Merger, we had taken various steps to enhance our liquidity, including the issuance of $175.0 million of Exchangeable Notes in the first quarter of 2021 to proactively fund our 2022 debt maturities. In addition, we closed on multiple sales for net proceeds of $80.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2021, with the majority of the activity related to the sale of 17 ground leases and one operating property. As of December 31, 2021, we had approximately $93.2 million in cash on hand, $7.1 million in restricted cash and escrow deposits, $793.5 million of remaining availability under our Revolving Facility, $125.0 million of short-term deposits, and $153.5 million of debt maturities due in 2022. We believe we will have adequate liquidity over the next 12 months and beyond 2022 to operate our business and to meet our cash requirement. However, because we do not know the ultimate severity and length of the COVID-19 pandemic or the short- or long-term impact it may have on consumer behavior, and thus cannot predict the impact it will have on our tenants and on the debt and equity capital markets, we cannot estimate the ultimate impact it will have on our liquidity and capital resources.
Our Principal Capital Resources
For a discussion of cash generated from operations, see “Cash Flows,” beginning on page 59.46. In addition to cash generated from operations, we discuss below our other principal capital resources. resources are discussed below.
In February 2019,Over the last several years, we announced a plan to market and sell up to $500 millionhave made substantial progress in non-core assets as part of a program designed to improve the Company’s portfolio quality, reduce its leverage, and focus operations on markets where we believe the Company can gain scale and generate attractive risk-adjusted returns. This program ("Project Focus") was completed in October 2019. The majority of the net proceeds were used to repay debt, further strengthening its balance sheet.
The recently-completed Project Focus has enhancedenhancing our liquidity position reducedand reducing our leverage and reduced our borrowing costs. We continue to focus on a balanced approach to growth and staggering and extending debt maturities in order to retain our financial flexibility.
As of December 31, 2019,2021, we had approximately $583$793.5 million available under our unsecured revolving credit facilityRevolving Facility for future borrowings based on the unencumbered asset pool allocated to the unsecured revolving credit facility.borrowings. We also had $31.3$218.2 million in cash, and cash equivalents and short-term deposits as of December 31, 2019.
2021.
We were in compliance with all applicable financial covenants under our unsecured revolving credit facility, ourRevolving Facility, unsecured term loans, and our senior unsecured notes as of December 31, 2019.2021.
We have on fileOn November 16, 2021, the Company filed with the SEC a shelf registration statement on Form S-3, which is effective for a term of three years, relating to the offer and sale, from time to time, of an indeterminate amount of equity and debt
securities. Equity securities may be offered and sold by the Parent Company, and the net proceeds of any such offerings would be contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for additional General Partner Units. Debt securities may be offered and sold by the Operating Partnership with the Operating Partnership receiving the proceeds. From time to time, we may issue securities under this shelf registration statement to fund thefor general corporate purposes, which may include acquisitions of additional properties, repayment of long-term debt upon maturity,outstanding indebtedness, capital expenditures, the expansion, redevelopment, and/or improvement of properties in our portfolio, working capital and other general purposes.
On February 23, 2021, the Company and the Operating Partnership entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (the “Equity Distribution Agreement”) with each of BofA Securities, Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc. and Raymond James & Associates, Inc., pursuant to which the Company may sell, from time to time, up to an aggregate sales price of $150.0 million of its common shares of beneficial interest, $0.01 par value per share under an at-the-market offering program (the “ATM Program”). On November 30, 2021, the Company and the Operating Partnership amended the Equity Distribution Agreement to reflect the filing by the Company and the Operating Partnership of a shelf registration statement on November 16, 2021 with the SEC. As of December 31, 2021, the Company has not sold any common shares under the ATM Program. The Operating Partnership intends to use the net proceeds, if any, to repay borrowings under its Revolving Facility and other indebtedness and for working capital and other general corporate purposespurposes. The Operating Partnership may also use net proceeds for acquisitions of operating properties and the development or as otherwise set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.
redevelopment of properties, although there are currently no understandings, commitments or agreements to do so.
In the future, we will continue to monitor the capital markets and may consider raising additional capital through the issuance of our common shares, preferred shares or other securities. We may also raise capital by disposing of properties, land parcels or other assets that are no longer core components of our growth strategy. The sale price may differ from our carrying value at the time of sale.
Our Principal Liquidity Needs
Short-Term Liquidity Needs
Near-Term Debt Maturities. As of December 31, 2019,2021, we did not have anyhad $153.5 million of secured debt scheduled to mature in 2020 or 2021,2022, excluding scheduled monthly principal payments. We believe we have sufficient liquidity to repay this obligation from cash on hand and short-term deposits.
Other Short-Term Liquidity Needs. The requirements for qualifying as a REIT and for a tax deduction for some or all of the dividends paid to shareholders necessitate that we distribute at least 90% of our taxable income on an annual basis. Such requirements cause us to have substantial liquidity needs over both the short term and the long term. Our short-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary to pay operating expenses associated with our operating properties, scheduled interest expensepayments of approximately $115 million in 2022 and scheduled principal payments on our debt of approximately $3.7 million in 2022, expected dividend payments to our common shareholders and to Common Unit holders, and recurring capital expenditures.
In February 2020,2022, our Board of Trustees declared a cash distribution of $0.3175$0.20 per common share and Common Unit for the first quarter of 2020.2022. This distribution is expected to be paid on or about April 3, 202015, 2022 to common shareholders and Common Unit holders of record as of March 27, 2020.
April 8, 2022. Future distributions, if any, are at the discretion of the Board of Trustees, who will continue to evaluate our sources and uses of capital, liquidity position, operating fundamentals, maintenance of our REIT qualification and other factors they may deem relevant.
Other short-term liquidity needs also include expenditures for tenant improvements, renovation costs, external leasing commissions and recurring capital expenditures. During the year ended December 31, 2019,2021, we incurred $4.3$3.8 million of costs for recurring capital expenditures on operating properties, $10.3$14.7 million of costs for tenant improvements and external leasing commissions, and $14.3$9.7 million to re-lease anchor space at our operating properties related to tenants open and operating as of December 31, 20192021 (excluding development and redevelopment properties)projects). We currently anticipate incurring approximately $14 million to $20$100 million of additional major tenant improvements and $14 million to $18 millionimprovement costs related to releasingexecuted leases for currently vacant anchor space at a number of our operating properties.
properties over the next 12 to 18 months. We believe we have the ability to fund these costs through cash flow from operations or by borrowing on the Revolving Facility.
As of December 31, 2019,2021, we had oneeight development projectprojects under construction, at our Eddy Street Commons property acrossincluding five projects assumed in the street from the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana.Merger with RPAI. Total estimated costs for this project, Eddy Street Commons - Phase II,these projects are $90.8$185.6 million, of which our share is estimated to be $121.7 million. This estimate consistsAs of our projected costsDecember 31, 2021, we have incurred $16.6 million of $10.0 million, tax increment financing of $16.1 million, and construction costs of $64.7 million for residential apartments and townhomes costs that we expect will be covered by an unrelated third party under a ground sublease that is currently being negotiated. We have provided a completion guaranty to the South Bend Redevelopment Commission and the South Bend Economic Development Commission on the construction of the entire project.these costs. We anticipate incurring the majority of the remaining costs for the projectthese projects over the next 12 months. We24 months and believe we have the ability to fund this projectthese projects through cash flow from operations. operations or by borrowing on the Revolving Facility.
Share Repurchase Plan
In February 2021, the Company’s Board of Trustees approved a share repurchase program, authorizing share repurchases up to an aggregate of $150.0 million (the “Share Repurchase Program”). In February 2022, the Company extended its share repurchase program for an additional year. The Share Repurchase Program, as extended, will terminate on February 28, 2023, if not terminated or extended prior to that date. As of December 31, 2021, the Company has not repurchased any shares under its Share Repurchase Program. The Company intends to fund any future repurchases under the Share Purchase Program with cash on hand or availability under the Revolving Facility, subject to any applicable restrictions. The timing of share repurchases and the number of common shares to be repurchased under the Share Repurchase Program will depend upon prevailing market conditions, regulatory requirements and other factors.
Long-Term Liquidity Needs
Our long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for any new development projects, redevelopment of existing properties, non-recurring capital expenditures, acquisitions of properties, and payment of indebtedness at maturity.
Potential Redevelopment Opportunities. We are currently evaluating additional redevelopment of several other properties. We believe we will have sufficient funding for these projects through cash flow from operations, borrowings on our unsecured revolving credit facilitymaturity and proceeds from asset sales.
obligations under ground leases.
Selective Acquisitions, Developments and Joint Ventures. We may selectively pursue the acquisition, development and developmentredevelopment of other properties, which would require additional capital. It is unlikely that we would have sufficient funds on hand to meet these long-term capital requirements, requiring usrequirements. We would have to satisfy these needs through additional borrowings, sales of common or preferred shares, issuance of Operating Partnership units, cash generated through property dispositions and/or participation in joint venture arrangements. We cannot be certain that we would have access to these sources of capital on satisfactory terms, if at all, to fund our long-term liquidity requirements. We evaluate all future opportunities against pre-established criteria including, but not limited to, location, demographics, expected return, tenant credit quality, tenant relationships, and the amount of existing retail space in the market.space. Our ability to access the capital markets will be dependent on a number of factors, including general capital market conditions.
Potential Debt Repurchases. We may from time to time, depending on market conditions and prices, contractual restrictions, our financial liquidity and other factors, seek to repurchase our senior unsecured notes maturing at various dates through September 2030 in open market transactions, by tender offer or otherwise, as market conditions warrant.
CapitalizedCommitments under Ground Leases. We are obligated under 12 ground leases for approximately 98 acres of land as of December 31, 2021. Most of these ground leases require fixed annual rent payments and the expiration dates of the remaining initial terms of these ground leases range from 2023 to 2092.

Impact of Changes in Credit Ratings on Our Liquidity
We have been assignedpreviously received investment grade corporate credit ratings from two nationally recognized credit rating agencies. Theseagencies and these ratings were unchanged during 2019.2021. We were assigned an investment grade corporate credit rating from a third nationally recognized rating agency in October 2021.
In the future, thethese ratings could change based upon, among other things, the impact that prevailing economic conditions may have on our results of operations and financial condition.condition, including as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Credit rating reductions by one or more rating agencies could also adversely affect our access to funding sources, the cost and other terms of obtaining funding, as well as our overall financial condition, operating results and cash flow.
Cash Flows
As of December 31, 2019,2021, we had cash, and cash equivalents on handand restricted cash of $31.3$100.4 million. We may be subject to concentrations of credit risk with regard to our cash and cash equivalents. We place our cash and short-term cash investments with highly rated financial institutions. While we attempt to limit our exposure at any point in time, occasionally, such cash and investments may temporarily be in excess of FDIC and SIPC insurance limits. We also maintain certain compensating balances in several financial institutions in support of borrowings from those institutions. Such compensating balances were not material to the consolidated balance sheets.

Critical Accounting Estimates Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. As disclosed in Note 2, the preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We believe that the following discussion addresses our most critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to the compilation of our financial condition and results of operations and, in some cases, require management’s most difficult, subjective, and complex judgments.
Acquisition of Real Estate Investments
In accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, we accounted for the Merger as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires the application of a screen test to evaluate if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets to determine whether a transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition or business combination.
Upon acquisition of real estate operating properties, including those assets acquired in the Merger with RPAI, we estimate the fair value of acquired identifiable tangible assets and identified intangible assets and liabilities, assumed debt, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the date of acquisition, based on evaluation of information and estimates available at that date. Based on these estimates, we record the estimated fair value to the applicable assets and liabilities. In making estimates of fair values, a number of sources are utilized, including information obtained as a result of pre-acquisition due diligence, marketing and leasing activities. The estimates of fair value were determined to have primarily relied upon Level 2 and Level 3 inputs, as defined below.
Fair value is determined for tangible assets and intangibles, including:
•the fair value of the building on an as-if-vacant basis and the fair value of land determined either by comparable market data, real estate tax assessments, independent appraisals or other relevant data;
•above-market and below-market in-place lease values for acquired properties, which are based on the present value (using an interest rate that reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over the remaining non-cancelable term of the leases. Any below-market renewal options are also considered in the in-place lease values. The capitalized above-market and below-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of or addition to rental income over the term of the lease. Should a tenant vacate, terminate its lease, or otherwise notify us of its intent to do so, the unamortized portion of the lease intangibles would be charged or credited to income;
•the value of having a lease in place at the acquisition date. We utilize independent and internal sources for our estimates to determine the respective in-place lease values. Our estimates of value are made using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers. Factors we consider in our analysis include an estimate of costs to execute similar leases including tenant improvements, leasing commissions and foregone costs and rent received during the estimated lease-up period as if the space was vacant. The value of in-place leases is amortized to expense over the remaining initial terms of the respective leases; and
•the fair value of any assumed financing that is determined to be above or below market terms. We utilize third party and independent sources for our estimates to determine the respective fair value of each mortgage and other indebtedness, including related derivative instruments, assumed. The fair market value of each is amortized to interest expense over the remaining initial terms of the respective instrument.
We also consider whether there is any value to in-place leases that have a related customer relationship intangible value. Characteristics we consider in determining these values include the nature and extent of existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenant’s credit quality, and expectations of lease renewals, among other factors. To date, no tenant relationship has been developed that is considered to have a current intangible value.
Valuation of Investment Properties
Management reviews operational and development projects, land parcels and intangible assets for impairment on a property-by-property basis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. This review for possible impairment requires certain assumptions, estimates, and significant judgment. Examples of situations considered to be impairment indicators for both operating properties and development projects include, but are not limited to:
•a substantial decline in or continued low occupancy rate or cash flow;
•expected significant declines in occupancy in the near future;
•continued difficulty in leasing space;
•a significant concentration of financially troubled tenants;
•a reduction in anticipated holding period;
•a cost accumulation or delay in project completion date significantly above and beyond the original development or redevelopment estimate;
•a significant decrease in market price not in line with general market trends; and
•any other quantitative or qualitative events or factors deemed significant by the Company’s management or Board of Trustees.
Impairment losses for investment properties and intangible assets are measured when the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by the investment properties during the expected holding period are less than the carrying amounts of those assets. The evaluation of impairment is subject to certain management assumptions including projected net operating income, anticipated hold period, expected capital expenditures and the capitalization rate used to estimate the property’s residual value. Impairment losses are recorded as the excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair value of the asset. Our impairment review for land and development properties assumes we have the intent and ability to complete the developments or projected uses for the land parcels. If we determine those plans will not be completed or our assumptions with respect to operating assets are not realized, an impairment loss may be appropriate.
Depreciation may be accelerated for a redevelopment project, including partial demolition of existing structures after the asset is assessed for impairment.
Operating properties will be classified as held for sale only when those properties are available for immediate sale in their present condition and for which management believes it is probable that a sale of the property will be completed within one year, among other factors. Operating properties classified as held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Depreciation and amortization are suspended during the held-for-sale period.
Revenue Recognition
As a lessor of real estate assets, the Company retains substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership and accounts for its leases as operating leases.
Contractual minimum base rent, percentage rent, and expense reimbursements from tenants for common area maintenance costs, insurance and real estate taxes are our principal sources of revenue. Base minimum rents are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases. Certain lease agreements contain provisions that grant additional rents based on a tenant’s sales volume (contingent overage rent). Overage rent is recognized when tenants achieve the specified sales targets as defined in their lease agreements. If we determine that collectibility is probable, we recognize income from rentals based on the methodology described above. We have accounts receivable due from tenants and are subject to the risk of tenant defaults and bankruptcies that may affect the collection of outstanding receivables. These receivables are reduced for credit loss, which is recognized as a reduction to rental income. We regularly evaluate the collectibility of these lease-related receivables by analyzing past due account balances and consider such facts as the credit quality of our customer, historical write-off experience, tenant credit-worthiness and current economic trends when evaluating the collectibility of rental income. Although we estimate uncollectible receivables and provide for them through charges against income, actual experience may differ from those estimates.
We recognize the sale of real estate when control transfers to the buyer. As part of our ongoing business strategy, we will, from time to time, sell properties, land parcels and outlots, some of which are ground-leased to tenants.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our future income, cash flows and fair values relevant to financial instruments depend upon prevailing interest rates. We are exposed to interest rate changes primarily through our variable-rate unsecured credit facilityRevolving Facility and unsecured term loans and other property-specific variable-rate mortgages. Our objectives with respect to interest rate risk are to limitbalance the potential impact of interest rate changes on operations and cash flows andagainst our desire to lower itsour overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, we may borrow at fixed or variable rates and may enter into derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps, hedges, etc., in order to mitigate itsthe interest rate risk on a related variable-rate financial instrument.risk. As a matter of policy, we do not utilizeuse financial instruments for trading or speculative transactions.
We had $1.1$3.2 billion of outstanding consolidated indebtedness as of December 31, 20192021 (inclusive of net unamortized net debt discounts, premiums and issuance costs of $6.7$58.6 million). As of December 31, 2019,2021, we were party to various consolidated interest rate hedge agreements totaling $266.2$875.0 million with maturities over various terms through 2025.2026. Reflecting the effects of these hedge agreements, our fixed and variable rate debt would have been $1.1$2.9 billion (97%(92%) and $39.6$239.0 million (3%(8%), respectively, of our total consolidated indebtedness at December 31, 2019. 2021.
We do not have anyAs of December 31, 2021, we had $153.5 million of fixed rate debt scheduled to mature during 2020 or 2021.2022. A 100-basis point change in interest rates would not materially impact the annual cash flows associated with this debt as we expect to repay these loans using cash on hand. A 100-basis point change in interest rates on our unhedged variable rate debt as of December 31, 20192021 would change our annual cash flow by $0.4$2.4 million. Based upon the terms of our variable rate debt, we are most vulnerable to a change in short-term LIBOR interest rates.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Partnership in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, andrisk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
TheTo the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of Kite Realty Group Trust:
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Kite Realty Group Trust and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 20192021 and 2018,2020, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the periodthen ended, December 31, 2019, and the related notes and financial statement schedule listed inIII – Consolidated Real Estate and Accumulated Depreciation (collectively, the Index at Item 15(a) (collectively referred to as the “consolidatedconsolidated financial statements”)statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company atas of December 31, 20192021 and 2018,2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2019,2021, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019,2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control-IntegratedControl – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, (2013 Framework) and our report dated February 20, 202028, 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
Adoptionon the effectiveness of ASU No. 2016-02
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidatedCompany’s internal control over financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for leases in 2019 due to the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, reporting.Leases (Topic 842), and the related amendments.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’sthese consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit MatterMatters
The critical audit mattermatters communicated below is a matterare matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that waswere communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relatesrelate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit mattermatters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit mattermatters below, providing a separate opinionopinions on the critical audit mattermatters or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.they relate.
Evaluation of investment properties for potential impairment
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, land, buildings, and improvements, net was $7,543,376 thousand as of December 31, 2021. The Company’s investment properties are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. This review for potential impairment triggering events requires certain assumptions, estimates, and significant judgment, including about the anticipated holding period for an investment property.
We identified the evaluation of certain investment properties for potential impairment as a critical audit matter. Subjective and challenging auditor judgment was required to evaluate the Company’s intent and ability to hold investment properties for particular periods of time. A shortening of the anticipated holding period could indicate a potential impairment.
|
| | |
| | Impairment of Investment Property |
Description of the Matter | | At December 31, 2019, the Company’s net consolidated investment properties totaled $2.4 billion. As discussed in Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s investment properties are reviewed for impairment on a property-by-property basis on at least a quarterly basis, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. Impairment losses for investment properties are measured when the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by the investment properties during the expected holding period are less than the carrying amounts of those assets. Impairment losses are recorded as the excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair value of the asset.
Auditing management’s evaluation of investment properties for impairment was complex due to the significant estimation uncertainty in determining the estimated future undiscounted cash flows and fair value of investment properties where an indicator of potential impairment was identified. In particular, these estimates were sensitive to significant assumptions such as projected net operating income, anticipated hold period, expected capital expenditures and the capitalization rate used to estimate the property’s residual value, all of which can be affected by expectations about future market conditions, rental demand, and competition, as well as management’s intent to hold and operate the property over the term assumed in the analysis.
|
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit | | We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design, and tested the operating effectiveness of controls related to the Company’s process for evaluating investment properties for impairment, including controls over management’s review of the significant assumptions described above.
To test the Company’s evaluation of investment properties for impairment, we performed audit procedures that included, among others, assessing the methodologies, evaluating the significant assumptions discussed above and testing the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used by management in its analysis. We compared the significant assumptions used by management to historical actual results of the property, relevant observable market information for recent sales of comparable assets, real estate industry publications, current industry trends or other relevant factors. We also involved a valuation specialist to assist in evaluating certain assumptions. As part of our evaluation, we assessed the historical accuracy of management’s estimates and performed sensitivity analyses of significant assumptions to evaluate the changes in the future undiscounted cash flows and fair value of certain properties that would result from changes in the assumptions.
|
The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls related to the Company’s process to evaluate potential impairment triggering events, including a control related to the evaluation of the holding period. We compared the holding periods assumed in the Company’s analysis to the Company’s historical holding periods for similar properties. We inquired of Company management and inspected documents, such as meeting minutes of the board of trustees and its sub-committees, and management’s capital allocation committee to evaluate the Company’s intent and ability to hold investment properties for particular periods of time. We read external communications with investors and analysts in order to identify information regarding potential sales of the Company’s investment properties.
Valuation of assets and liabilities acquired in the Retail Properties of America, Inc. acquisition
As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, on October 22, 2021, the Company completed a merger with Retail Properties of America, Inc. (“RPAI”) in a transaction accounted for as a business combination for consideration of approximately $2.8 billion. The consideration paid was allocated to the acquired assets and liabilities of each property based on their estimated fair values.
We identified the evaluation of the estimated fair values of land, buildings, and above and below market lease intangible assets and liabilities acquired in the RPAI acquisition as a critical audit matter. Subjective auditor judgment was required to evaluate the Company’s land valuations and certain inputs used in the Company’s determination of the estimated fair values of certain other assets and liabilities, specifically forecasted individual property net operating income and capitalization rates that were used as inputs to the building valuations, and market rental rates and discount rates that were used as inputs to the valuation of the above and below market lease intangible assets and liabilities.
The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls related to the Company’s process to allocate the purchase price to the acquired assets and liabilities. This included controls related to the selection and review of the above noted inputs. We assessed the Company’s forecasts of individual property net operating income by comparing projected amounts to the Company’s budgets. We evaluated the Company’s ability to prepare accurate budgets by comparing previous budgets of net operating income for the Company’s individual properties to actual results. We involved valuation professionals with specialized skills and knowledge who assisted in:
•for a selection of properties, evaluating the Company’s estimates of fair values of land by comparing the recorded values to comparable land sales using publicly available market data
•for a selection of buildings, comparing the Company’s capitalization rates to available market information and industry research publications
•for a sample of lease intangible assets and liabilities, comparing market rental rates and discount rates used by the Company to available market information and industry research publications.

Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Partnership’sthese consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Partnership in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Evaluation of investment properties for potential impairment
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, land, buildings, and improvements, net was $7,543,376 thousand as of December 31, 2021. The Partnership’s investment properties are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. This review for potential impairment triggering events requires certain assumptions, estimates, and significant judgment, including about the anticipated holding period for an investment property.
We identified the evaluation of certain investment properties for potential impairment as a critical audit matter. Subjective and challenging auditor judgment was required to evaluate the Partnership’s intent and ability to hold investment properties for particular periods of time. A shortening of the anticipated holding period could indicate a potential impairment.
The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls related to the Partnership’s process to evaluate potential impairment triggering events, including a control related to the evaluation of the holding period. We compared the holding periods assumed in the Partnership’s analysis to the Partnership’s historical holding periods for similar properties. We inquired of Partnership management and inspected documents, such as meeting minutes of Kite Realty Group Trust’s (the Parent Company’s) board of trustees and its sub-committees, and management’s capital allocation committee to evaluate the Partnership’s intent and ability to hold investment properties for particular periods of time. We read external communications with investors and analysts in order to identify information regarding potential sales of the Partnership’s investment properties.
Valuation of assets and liabilities acquired in the Retail Properties of America, Inc. acquisition
As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, on October 22, 2021, the Partnership completed a merger with Retail Properties of America, Inc. (“RPAI”) in a transaction accounted for as a business combination for consideration of approximately $2.8 billion. The consideration paid was allocated to the acquired assets and liabilities of each property based on their estimated fair values.

Subjective auditor judgment was required to evaluate the Partnership’s land valuations and certain inputs used in the Partnership’s determination of the estimated fair values of certain other assets and liabilities, specifically forecasted individual property net operating income and capitalization rates that were used as inputs to the building valuations, and market rental rates and discount rates that were used as inputs to the valuation of the above and below market lease intangible assets and liabilities.
