1. Basis of Presentation

Sun Communities, Inc., a Maryland corporation, and all wholly-owned or majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries, including Sun Communities Operating Limited Partnership (the ~~“Operating Partnership”~~"Operating Partnership") ~~and~~, Sun Home Services, Inc. ~~(“SHS”~~("SHS") and Safe Harbor Marinas, LLC ("Safe Harbor") are referred to herein as the ~~“Company,” “us,” “we,”~~"Company," "us," "we," and ~~“our.”~~"our."

We follow accounting standards set by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ~~(“FASB”~~("FASB"). FASB ~~sets~~establishes accounting principles generally accepted ~~accounting principles (“GAAP”~~in the United States of America ("GAAP"), which we follow to ensure that we consistently report our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. References to GAAP issued by the FASB in these footnotes are to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification ~~(“ASC”~~("ASC").

These unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ~~(“SEC”~~("SEC") for interim financial information and in accordance with GAAP. We present interim disclosures and certain information and footnote disclosures as required by SEC rules and regulations. Accordingly, the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, including adjustments of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial statements. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we changed our organizational structure from a 2-segment to a 3-segment structure as a result of the recent acquisition of Safe Harbor and its internal organization. The new structure reflects how the chief operating decision maker manages the business, makes operating decisions, allocates resources and evaluates operating performance. Therefore, beginning with results for the three months ended March 31, 2021, we are reporting our financial results consistent with our newly realigned operating segments and have recast prior period amounts to conform to the way we internally manage our business and monitor segment performance. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statements and related notes in order to conform to the current period presentation.

~~Estimates inherent in~~ The most significant changes were the ~~current financial reporting process inevitably involve assumptions about future events. Since December 2019, a novel strain~~combining of ~~coronavirus, referred to as~~rental home revenue with real property revenue, the COVID-19 virus, has spread to countries in which we operate. COVID-19 has become a global pandemic. Commencing in March 2020, authorities in jurisdictions where our properties are located have issued stay-at-home orderscombining of rental home operating and ~~restrictions on travel~~maintenance expenses with property operating expenses, and the ~~types~~combining of ~~businesses that may continue~~home selling expenses with cost of home sales. Vacation rental home rent has been reclassified from ancillary income into real property. In addition, ancillary revenues and expenses have been renamed service, retail, dining & entertainment. There was no impact to ~~operate. Our property site count consists of 66 percent manufactured housing (“MH”)~~prior period net income, stockholders equity or cash flows for residents and 34 percent recreational vehicle (“RV”) for guests. As many RV resorts remain closed and unable to generate revenue and as the pandemic may adversely affect our revenues in our MH communities, the extent and durationany of the stay-at-home order will have an effect on estimates used in the preparation of financial statements. This includes the net operating income (“NOI”) assumptions in our long-lived asset impairment testing, the ultimate collectability of rent payments from residents and guests due to the effects of COVID-19 on their financial position, and fair value measurement changes for financial assets that the Company has elected to measure at fair value.reclassifications.

The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year. These unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2019~~2020 as filed with the SEC on February ~~20, 2020 (the “2019~~18, 2021 (our "2020 Annual ~~Report”~~Report"). These statements have been prepared on a basis that is substantially consistent with the accounting principles applied in our ~~2019~~2020 Annual Report.

Disaggregation of Revenue

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we changed our organizational structure from a 2-segment to a 3-segment structure as a result of the recent acquisition of Safe Harbor and its internal organization.

~~Revenue Recognition Policies and Performance Obligations~~(1) Recast to reflect segment changes

~~On January 1, 2018, we adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09 “~~

Our revenue consists primarily of Real property revenue at our MH, RV and marina properties, revenue from Home sales, Service, retail, dining and entertainment revenue, Interest income, and Brokerage commissions and other revenue.

The majority of our revenue is derived from site and home leases, and wet slips and dry storage spaces leases that are accounted for pursuant to ASC 842, "Leases." We account for all revenue from contracts with customers following ASC 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers” and the other related ASUs and amendments to the codification (collectively “ASC 606”). The core principle of ASC 606 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange" except for ~~those goods or services. A five-step transactional analysis is required to determine how and when to recognize revenue. ASC 606 applies to all contracts with customers, except~~ those that are within the scope of other topics in the FASB accounting standards codification.

~~As a real estate owner and operator, the majority of our revenue is derived from site and home leases that are accounted for pursuant~~ For additional information, refer to ~~ASC 842 “Leases~~.” For transactions in the scope of ASC 606, we recognize revenue when control of goods or services transfers to the customer, in the amount that we expect to receive for the transfer of goods or provision of services. The adoption of ASC 606 did not result in any change to the timing and pattern of revenue recognition. Accordingly, retrospective application to prior periods or a cumulative catch-up adjustment was unnecessary.

~~Income from real property~~ ~~- Residents~~Note 1, "Significant Accounting Policies," in our communities lease the site on which their home is located, and either own or lease their home. Resident leases are generally for one-year or month-to-month terms and are renewable by mutual agreement between us and the resident, or in some cases, as provided by jurisdictional statute. Lease revenues for sites and homes fall under the scope of ASC 842, and are accounted for as operating leases with straight-line recognition. Income from real property includes income from site leases for annual MH residents, site leases for annual RV residents and site rentals to transient RV residents. Non-lease components of our site lease contracts, which are primarily provision of utility services, are accounted for with the site lease as a single lease under ASC 842. Additionally, we include collections of real estate taxes from residents within Income from real property.2020 Annual Report.

~~Revenue from home sales~~ - Our taxable REIT subsidiary, SHS, sells manufactured homes to current and prospective residents in our communities. Prior to adoption of ASC 606, we recognized revenue for home sales pursuant to ASC 605 “~~Revenue Recognition,~~” as manufactured homes are tangible personal property that can be located on any land parcel. Manufactured homes are not permanent fixtures or improvements to the underlying real estate and were therefore not considered to be subject to the guidance in ASC 360-20 “~~Real Estate Sales~~” by the Company. In accordance with the core principle of ASC 606, we recognize revenue from home sales at the time of closing when control of the home transfers to the customer. After closing of the sale transaction, we have no remaining performance obligation. As of March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, we had $27.6 million and $20.9 million, respectively, of receivables from contracts with customers, which consists of home sales proceeds, and are presented as a component of Notes and other receivables, net on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. These receivables represent balances owed to us for previously completed performance obligations for sales of manufactured homes.

~~Rental home revenue~~ ~~- is comprised of rental agreements whereby we lease homes to residents in our communities. We account for these revenues under ASC 842.~~

SUN COMMUNITIES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)

(Unaudited)

~~Ancillary revenue~~ - is primarily composed of proceeds from restaurant, golf, merchandise and other activities at our RV communities and is included in the scope of ASC 606. Revenues are recognized at point of sale when control of the good or service transfers to the customer and our performance obligation is satisfied. In addition, leasing of short-term vacation home rentals is included within Ancillary revenue and falls within the scope of ASC 842. Sales and other taxes that we collect concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from the transaction price.

~~Interest income~~ - is earned primarily on our notes receivable, which include installment notes receivables on manufactured homes purchased by the Company from loan originators. Interest income on these receivables is accrued based on the unpaid principal balances of the underlying loans on a level yield basis over the life of the loans. Interest income is not in the scope of ASC 606. Refer to Note 4, “Notes and Other Receivables” for additional information.

~~Broker commissions and other revenues, net~~ - is primarily comprised of brokerage commissions for sales of manufactured homes, where we act as agent and arrange for a third party to transfer a manufactured home to a customer within one of our communities. Brokerage commission revenues are recognized on a net basis at closing, when the transaction is completed and our performance obligations have been fulfilled. Loan loss reserve expenses for our notes receivable are also included herein. Refer to Note 4, “Notes and Other Receivables” for additional information regarding our loan loss reserves.

Goodwill impairment - Upon review of the qualitative factors in accordance with FASB ASC 350-20, "Goodwill and Other," we determined that no impairment indicators existed as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. As a result, there was no impairment of goodwill during three months ended March 31, 2021.

As a result of our organizational change and segment structure realignment, goodwill is recorded in our Marinas operating segment. Goodwill was preliminary as of December 31, 2020, subject to revisions based on purchase price allocations for the Safe Harbor and Rybovich business combination acquisitions which are reflected in the revised goodwill balance at March 31, 2021. There were no incremental acquisitions during the quarter ended March 31, 2021 which had goodwill.

Preferred OP units at March 31, ~~2020~~2021 and December 31, ~~2019~~2020 include $34.7 million of Aspen preferred OP units issued by the Operating Partnership. As of March 31, ~~2020,~~2021, these units are convertible indirectly into ~~433,072~~406,470 shares of our common stock.

In January 2020, we amended the Operating ~~Partnership’s~~Partnership's partnership ~~agreement at the election of certain Aspen preferred OP unit holders.~~agreement. The amendment extended the automatic redemption date and reduced the annual distribution rate for 270,000 of the Aspen preferred OP units (the ~~“Extended Units”~~"Extended Units"). Subject to certain limitations, at any time prior to January 1, 2024 (or prior to January 1, 2034 with respect to the Extended Units), the holder of each Aspen preferred OP unit at its option may convert such Aspen preferred OP unit into: (a) if the average closing price of our common stock for the preceding ten trading days is $68.00 per share or less, 0.397 common OP units; or (b) if the ten-day average closing price is greater than $68.00 per share, the number of common OP units is determined by dividing (i) the sum of (A) $27.00 plus (B) 2525.0 percent of the amount by which the ten-day average closing price exceeds $68.00 per share, by (ii) the ten-day average closing price. The current preferred distribution rate is 3.8 percent on the Extended Units and 6.5 percent on all other Aspen preferred OP units. On January 2, 2024 (or January 2, 2034 with respect to the Extended Units), we are required to redeem for cash all Aspen preferred OP units that have not been converted to common OP units. As of March 31, ~~2020,~~2021, 270,000 of the Extended Units and 1,013,819 other Aspen preferred units were outstanding.

~~Real Estate Acquisitions,” Note 7, “Consolidated Variable Interest Entities,” and Note 9, “Equity and Temporary Equity” for additional information.~~

Lines of Credit and Other Debt

Credit ~~agreement~~Agreement - In May 2019, we amended and restated our credit agreement with Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank") and certain other lenders. Pursuant to the credit agreement, we entered into aan unsecured senior credit facility with Citibank and certain lenders in the amount of $750.0 million, comprised of a $650.0 million revolving loan, with the ability to use up to $100.0 million for advances in Australian dollars, and a $100.0 million term loan (the “A"A&R ~~Facility”~~Facility"). ~~As of March 31, 2020, the term loan was fully drawn.~~ The A&R Credit Agreement has a four-year term ending May 21, 2023,, which can be extended for two additional six-month periods, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions as defined in the credit agreement. The credit agreement also provides for additional commitments in an amount not to exceed $350.0 million. The funding of these additional commitments is subject to certain conditions, including obtaining the consent of the lenders, some of which are outside of our control. If additional borrowings are made pursuant to any such additional commitments, the aggregate borrowing limit under the A&R Facility may be increased up to $1.1 billion.

The A&R Facility bears interest at a floating rate based on the Eurodollar rate or Bank Bill Swap Bid Rate plus a margin that is determined based on our leverage ratio calculated in accordance with the credit agreement, which margin can range from 1.20 percent to 2.10 percent for the revolving loan and 1.20 percent to 2.05 percent for the term loan. As of March 31, ~~2020,~~2021, the margin based on our leverage ratio was ~~1.2~~1.20 percent on the revolving loan and ~~1.2~~1.20 percent on the term loan. We had ~~$424.9~~$352.9 million and ~~$100.0 million of~~0 borrowings on the revolving loan and the term loan, respectively, as of March 31, ~~2020.~~2021. We had ~~$123.6~~$40.4 million of borrowings on the revolving loan and no0 borrowings on the term loan, as of December 31, ~~2019.~~2020.

The A&R Facility provides us with the ability to issue letters of credit. Our issuance of letters of credit does not increase our borrowings outstanding under our line of credit with Citibank, but does reduce the borrowing amount available. At March 31, ~~2020~~2021 and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, we had approximately ~~$2.6~~$2.2 million and ~~$2.8~~$2.1 million of ~~availability,~~outstanding letters of credit, respectively.

Safe Harbor Facility - On October 30, 2020, in relation to the acquisition of Safe Harbor, we indirectly assumed approximately $829.0 million of Safe Harbor's debt (“Safe Harbor Facility”) owed to Citizens Bank N.A. ("Citizens"). On December 22, 2020, this facility was amended to, among other things, (a) increase the size of the revolving commitments available to Safe Harbor from $500.0 million to $1.3 billion, subject to borrowing base availability, (b) modify certain provisions relating to the determination of the borrowing base, (c) increase the cap on the incremental borrowing capacity from $350.0 million to $500.0 million, which allows Safe Harbor to request an increase to the revolving commitments and / or to establish additional term loans subject to the higher cap and the satisfaction of certain condition, and (d) modify certain financial covenants. The revolving loan and term loan under the Safe Harbor Facility both expire on October 11, 2024. The term loan component of the Safe Harbor Facility can be extended for two additional 12-month periods, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the credit agreement. The revolving commitments do not have an extension option.

The Safe Harbor Facility bears interest at a floating rate based on an adjusted LIBOR rate or a base rate, plus a margin that is determined based on Safe Harbor's ratio of consolidated funded debt to total asset value, calculated in accordance with the credit agreement, which margin can range from 1.375 percent to 2.250 percent for adjusted LIBOR rate loans and 0.375 percent to 1.250 percent for base rate loans. As of March 31, 2021, based on Safe Harbor's ratio of consolidated funded debt to total asset value, the margin was 2.000 percent on any adjusted LIBOR rate loans and 1.000 percent on any base rate loans. The Safe Harbor Facility is secured by the personal property of Safe Harbor and certain related entities and subsidiaries and a pledge of the equity interests in certain subsidiaries of Safe Harbor and related entities and subsidiaries, subject to customary exceptions. At the lender's option, the Safe Harbor Facility will become immediately due and payable upon an event of default that is continuing under the credit agreement.

9. Equity and Temporary Equity

Public Equity Offerings

On March 2, 2021, we priced a $1.1 billion underwritten public offering of an aggregate of 8,050,000 shares at a public offering price of $140.00 per share, before underwriting discounts and commissions. The offering consisted of 4,000,000 shares offered directly by us and 4,050,000 shares offered under a forward equity sales agreement (the "March 2021 Forward Equity Offering"). We sold the 4,000,000 shares on March 9, 2021 and received net proceeds of $537.6 million. We may elect to settle the forward sale agreements relating to the remaining 4,050,000 shares upon one or more forward settlement dates no later than March 2022. We may also elect to cash settle or net share settle all or a portion of our obligations under the March 2021 Forward Equity Offering if we conclude it is in our best interest to do so. If we elect to cash settle or net settle the March 2021 Forward Equity Offering, we may not receive any proceeds. If we fully physically settle the March 2021 Forward Equity Offering, we expect to receive net proceeds of approximately $544.3 million.

We evaluated the accounting of the March 2021 Forward Equity Offering under FASB ASC Topic 480 "Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity" and FASB ASC Topic 815 "Derivatives and Hedging" and determined that the March 2021 Forward Equity Offering is indexed to our own equity and meet the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815-40-25. As result, the March 2021 Forward Equity Offering has been classified as equity and is therefore exempt from derivative accounting. We recorded the March 2021 Forward Equity Offering at fair value at inception, which we determined to be zero. Subsequent changes to fair value are not required under equity classification.

We have elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust ~~(“REIT”~~("REIT") pursuant to Section 856(c) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ~~(“Code”~~("Code"). In order for us to qualify as a REIT, at least 95 percent of our gross income in any year must be derived from qualifying sources. In addition, a REIT must distribute annually at least 90 percent of its REIT taxable income (calculated without any deduction for dividends paid and excluding capital gain) to its stockholders and meet other tests.

Qualification as a REIT involves the satisfaction of numerous requirements (on an annual and quarterly basis) established under highly technical and complex Code provisions for which there are limited judicial or administrative interpretations and involves the determination of various factual matters and circumstances not entirely within our control. In addition, frequent changes occur in the area of REIT taxation, which requires us to continually monitor our tax status. We analyzed the various REIT tests and confirmed that we continued to qualify as a REIT for the ~~quarter~~three months ended March 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to United States (“("U.S.”") federal income taxes at the corporate level on the ordinary taxable income we distribute to our stockholders as dividends. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, our taxable income could be subject to U.S. federal income tax at regular corporate rates. Even if we qualify as a REIT, we may be subject to certain state and local income taxes as well as U.S. federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed income. In addition, taxable income from non-REIT activities managed through taxable REIT subsidiaries is subject to federal, state, and local income taxes. ~~The Company is~~We are also subject to local income taxes in Canada as a result of the acquisition in 2016 of certain properties located in Canada. We do not provide for withholding taxes on our undistributed earnings from our Canadian subsidiaries as they are reinvested and will continue to be reinvested indefinitely outside of the U.S. However, we are subject to Australian withholding taxes on distributions from our investment in Ingenia Communities Group.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the impact of temporary differences between the amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the ~~bases~~basis of such assets and liabilities as measured by tax laws. Deferred tax assets are reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance to the amount where realization is more likely than not assured after considering all available evidence. Our temporary differences primarily relate to net operating loss carryforwards, and depreciation and basis differences between tax and ~~U.S. GAAP on our Canadian investments.~~GAAP.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021 we recorded a current tax benefit for federal, state, and Canadian income taxes and Australian withholding taxes of $0.2 million.For the three months ended March 31, 2020 we recorded a current tax expense for federal, state and Canadian income ~~taxes and Australian withholding~~ taxes of $0.5 million.

13. Earnings ~~/ (Loss)~~ Per Share

Earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period on a basic and diluted basis. We calculate diluted earnings per share using the more dilutive of the treasury stock method and the two-class method.

From time to time, we enter into forward equity sales agreements, which are discussed in Note 9, "Equity and Temporary Equity," We considered the potential dilution resulting from the forward equity sales agreements on the EPS calculations. At inception, the agreements do not have an effect on the computation of basic EPS as no shares are delivered until settlement. The common shares issued upon the settlement of the forward equity sales agreements, weighted for the period these common shares are outstanding, ~~stock options and~~are usually included in the denominator of basic EPS. To determine the dilution resulting from the forward equity sales agreements during the period of time prior to settlement, we calculate the number of weighted-average shares outstanding – diluted.

Our potentially dilutive securities include potential common shares related to our forward equity offerings, our unvested restricted common ~~shares. Our~~shares, and our Operating Partnership ~~has~~ outstanding common OP units, Series A-1 preferred OP units, Series A-3 preferred OP units, Series C preferred OP units, Series D preferred OP units, Series E preferred OP units, Series F preferred OP units, Series G preferred OP units, Series H preferred OP units, Series I preferred OP units and Aspen preferred OP Units, which, if converted or exercised, may impact dilution.

Diluted earnings per share considers the impact of potentially dilutive securities except when the potential common shares have an antidilutive effect. Our unvested restricted stock common shares contain rights to receive non-forfeitable dividends and participate equally with common stock with respect to dividends issued or declared, and thus, are participating securities, requiring the two-class method of computing earnings per share. The two-class method determines earnings per share by dividing the sum of distributed earnings to common stockholders and undistributed earnings allocated to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. In calculating the two-class method, undistributed earnings are allocated to both common shares and participating securities based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The remaining potential dilutive common shares do not contain rights to dividends and are included in the computation of diluted earnings per share.

Computations of basic and diluted earnings ~~/ (loss)~~ per share were as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

14. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Our financial instruments consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, marketable securities, notes and other receivables, ~~accounts payable,~~debt, and ~~debt.~~

other liabilities. We utilize fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures, pursuant to FASB ASC ~~Topic~~ 820, “"Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”." The following methods and assumptions were used in order to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value:

ASC Topic 820 "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures," requires disclosure regarding determination of fair value for assets and liabilities and establishes a hierarchy under which these assets and liabilities must be grouped, based on significant levels of observable or unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect ~~the Company’s~~our market assumption. This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. These two types of inputs have created the following fair value hierarchy:

Level 1—1 - Quoted unadjusted prices for identical instruments in active ~~markets;~~markets that we have the ability to access;

Level 2—2 - Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable (e.g. interest rates, yield curves, prepayment speeds, default rates, loss severity, etc.) in active ~~markets;~~markets or can be corroborated by observable market data; and

Level 3—3 - Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. The unobservable inputs reflect our assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use.

Assets by Hierarchy Level

The table below sets forth our financial assets and liabilities (in thousands) that required disclosure of fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2021. The table presents the carrying values and fair values of our financial instruments as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, that were measured using the valuation techniques described above. The table excludes other financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents, other receivables and accounts payable as the carrying values associated with these instruments approximate their fair value since their maturities are less than one year.

We utilize fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. The following methods and assumptions were used in order to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value:

Marketable Securities

Marketable securities held by us and accounted for under the ASC 321 “"Investment Equity Securities”" are measured at fair value. Any change in fair value is recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations in Remeasurement of marketable securities in accordance with ASU 2016-01 “"Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities.”" The fair value is measured by the quoted unadjusted share price which is readily available in active markets (Level 1).

SUN COMMUNITIES, INC.

The change in the marketable securities balance is as follows (in thousands):

Installment Notes Receivable on Manufactured Homes

Installment notes receivable on manufactured homes are recorded at fair value and are measured using model-derived indicative pricing using ~~observable~~primarily unobservable inputs, inclusive of default rates, interest rates and recovery rates (Level 2)3). Refer to Note 4, “~~Notes~~"Notes and Other Receivables,~~.” and Note 17, “Recent Accounting Pronouncement.”~~" for additional ~~detail.~~information.

Notes Receivable from Real Estate Developers

Notes receivable from real estate developers are recorded at fair value and are measured using ~~prevailing market~~primarily unobservable inputs including interest rates and counterparty performance (Level ~~2).The~~3). The carrying values of ~~those~~the notes generally approximate their fair market values either due to the ~~short-term~~ nature of the note ~~and/~~and / or the note being secured by underlying collateral ~~and/~~and / or personal guarantees. Refer to Note 4, “~~Notes~~"Notes and Other Receivables,~~.” and Note 17, “Recent Accounting Pronouncement.”~~" for additional ~~detail.~~information.

~~SUN COMMUNITIES, INC.~~

~~NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)~~

~~(Unaudited)~~

Long-Term Debt and Lines of Credit

The fair value of long-term debt is based on the estimates of management and on rates currently quoted, rates currently prevailing for comparable loans and instruments of comparable maturities (Level 2). Refer to Note 8, “~~Debt~~"Debt and Lines of Credit," for additional information.

We have variable rates on our credit facilities and the revolving loans under our senior credit facility and the Safe Harbor credit facility. The fair value of the debt with variable rates approximates carrying value as the interest rates of these amounts approximate market rates. The estimated fair value of our indebtedness as of March 31, 2021, approximated its gross carrying value.

Financial Liabilities

We estimate the fair value of our contingent consideration liability based on valuation models using significant unobservable inputs that generally consider discounting of future cash flows using market interest rates and adjusting for non-performance risk over the remaining term of the liability (Level 2)3).

Other Financial Instruments

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, other receivables and accounts payable approximate their fair market values due to the short-term nature of those instruments. These are classified as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Level 3 Reconciliation, Measurements and Transfers

We review the fair value hierarchy classifications each reporting period. Changes in the observability of the valuation attributes may result in a reclassification of certain financial assets or liabilities. Such reclassifications are reported as transfers in and out of Level 3 at the beginning fair value for the reporting period in which the changes occur. Availability of secondary market activity and consistency of pricing from third-party sources impacts our ability to classify securities as Level 2 or Level 3.

Our assessment resulted in a net transfer into Level 3 of $138.5 million related to installment notes receivable on manufactured homes and notes from real estate developers during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Inputs that are used to derive the fair value for installment notes receivables on manufactured homes and notes receivable from real estate developers transferred to Level 3 from Level 2 during the quarter ended March 31, 2021 as significant inputs used to value those instruments inclusive of default rates, interest rates, recovery rates, and counterparty performance rely heavily on internally sourced assumptions as opposed to observable market-based inputs.

The ~~table below sets forth~~following tables summarize changes to our financial ~~assets and liabilities that required disclosure of~~instruments carried at fair value and classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy for the three months ended March 31, 2021 (in thousands):

As such, our estimates of our financial instruments as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, that were measured using the valuation techniques described above (in thousands). The table excludes other financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents, other receivables, and accounts payable as the carrying values associated with these instruments approximate fair value ~~since their maturities are less than one year.~~could differ significantly from the actual carrying value.

~~Recent Accounting Pronouncements - Adopted~~

~~In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13~~ ~~“Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments~~.~~” “CECL”~~ This update replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. As of January 1, 2020, we adopted the fair value option for our installment notes receivable on manufactured homes and the notes receivable within the GTSC JV which resulted in fair value adjustments of $1.6 million and $0.3 million, respectively. We also adopted the fair value option on notes receivable from real estate developers. The carrying values of those notes generally approximate their fair market values either due to the short-term nature of the loan and/or or the note being secured by underlying collateral and/or personal guarantees. The adoption of CECL had an immaterial impact on our remaining financial instruments within the CECL scope.

17. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements - Not Yet Adopted

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform" (Topic 848) - Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional guidance for accounting for contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by the reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met. The provisions of this standard are available for election through December 31, 2022. We are currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2020-04 may have on our Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt - "Debt with Conversion and Other Options" (Subtopic 470-20) and "Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity" (Subtopic 815-40): "Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity" ("ASU 2020-06"), which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. This ASU (1) simplifies the accounting for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock by removing the existing guidance in ASC 470-20, "Debt: Debt with Conversion and Other Options," which requires entities to account for beneficial conversion features and cash conversion features in equity, separately from the host convertible debt or preferred stock; (2) revises the scope exception from derivative accounting in ASC 815-40 for freestanding financial instruments and embedded features that are both indexed to the issuer's own stock and classified in stockholders' equity, by removing certain criteria required for equity classification; and (3) revises the guidance in ASC 260, "Earnings Per Share," to require entities to calculate diluted earnings per share (EPS) for convertible instruments by using the if-converted method. In addition, entities must presume share settlement for purposes of calculating diluted EPS when an instrument may be settled in cash or shares. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. We are currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2020-06 may have on our Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosure.

Shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3

Subsequent to the quarter ended March 31, 2021, on April 5, 2021, in connection with the expiration of our universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3, that was filed with the SEC on April 6, 2018, we filed a new universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC, which was deemed automatically effective and which provides for the registration of unspecified amounts of equity and debt securities. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to complete any such offerings of securities in the future.

Acquisitions

Subsequent to the quarter ended March 31, 2021, we acquired an RV resort in Davenport, Florida with 148 developed sites for a total purchase price of $25.0 million.

Subsequent to the quarter ended March 31, 2021, we acquired a MH community located in Brighton, Michigan with 476 MH sites for a total purchase price of $24.0 million. In conjunction with the acquisition, the Operating Partnership created a new class of OP units, named Series J preferred units. As of April 21, 2021, 240,000 Series J preferred OP units were outstanding. The Series J preferred OP units have an issuance price of $100.00 and carry a preferred return of 2.85 percent per year. Subject to certain limitations, each Series J preferred OP unit is exchangeable at any time into that number of shares of the Company's common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing $100.00 by $165.00 (as such ratio is subject to adjustment for certain capital events). The holder may require redemption in cash (i) during the 30-day period following a change of control of the Company or (ii) any time after the fifth anniversary of the issuance date of the Series J preferred OP units.

We have evaluated our Consolidated Financial Statements for subsequent events through the date that this Form 10-Q was issued.

~~ITEM 2.~~	ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes, along with our ~~2019~~2020 Annual Report.

OVERVIEW

We are a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed REIT. As of March 31, ~~2020,~~2021, we owned and operated or held an interest in a portfolio of ~~424~~562 developed properties located in 3339 states throughout the U.S. and one province in Canada, including ~~266~~277 MH communities, ~~124~~141 RV ~~communities, and~~resorts, 34 properties containing both MH and RV ~~sites.~~

sites, and 110 marinas. We have been in the business of acquiring, operating, developing and expanding MH communities and RV ~~communities~~resorts since ~~1975.~~1975 and marinas since 2020. We lease individual sites with ~~utility~~utilities access for placement of manufactured homes, ~~and~~ RVs or boats to our customers. We are also engaged ~~through SHS~~ in the marketing, selling and leasing of new and pre-owned homes to current and future residents in our MH communities. The rental program operations ~~of SHS~~within our MH communities support and enhance our occupancy levels, property performance, and cash flows.

COVID-19 IMPACT

WeAs of March 31, 2021, there are no government regulations preventing the operations of any of our MH communities, RV resorts or marinas. Ontario, Canada does have ~~implemented measures~~travel restrictions in place that if extended into May 2021, could delay the opening of seasonal resorts in Canada. Additionally, the border for recreational travel between the Unites States and Canada remains closed with no defined opening date, which could impact cross border traffic to resorts and marinas across the United State and Canada. The execution of our operational and financial plans has helped to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 on our business. These efforts include increasing our cash position, bolstering liquidity and eliminating, reducing or deferring non-essential expenditures. Additionally, our Board of Directors and executive officers have elected to forgo base compensation for at least the second quarter. Cost containment measures have also included the furlough of a group of team members and reductions in base compensation for certain non-furloughed team members. We will provide medical health coverage to furloughed team members, if enrolled, at no cost to the team member.

To bolster liquidity, we increased unrestricted cash on hand as of March 31, 2020 to $382.5 million by drawing on our line of credit and completing a secured financing transaction for $230.0 million. As of March 31, 2020, there is $222.5 million of remaining capacity on the line of credit. We also have 143 unencumbered properties with an estimated asset value, as of March 31, 2020, of approximately $2.6 billion available to secure potential mortgage debt.

We ~~are continuing~~continue to provide essential services using social distancing techniques and minimal contact. ~~Our community offices are partially staffed with reduced hours and open for essential services only.~~ To promote social distancing, we are encouraging our residents to use our online rent payment portals and other payment methods. ~~Amenities~~We have ~~been closed~~instituted numerous health and safety measures at ~~the direction~~our communities and our Main Office to keep team members safe. These measures include infrared thermometers at entrances to monitor team members' temperatures, increased cleaning and sanitation of ~~state~~shared spaces and ~~local municipalities and to prevent~~ social ~~gathering.~~distancing protocols throughout our footprint. We closely monitor and track ~~stay-at-home~~ orders by federal, state and local authorities and hold ~~daily~~regular status calls with our operations and Main Office leadership teams. We have implemented and continue to encourage remote working arrangements, wherever possible, to keep our team members safe and to do our part to promote social distancing.

We have collected approximately 98 percent of our April MH rent to date. While we are experiencing lower traffic at the communities as would be expected with shelter-in-place mandates; we are still seeing demand for move-ins and expect less move-outs during this time.

We have halted all evictions and provided a hardship program to those residents who have been economically disadvantaged as a result of COVID-19. This hardship program defers the payment of April and May rent ratably over twelve months, commencing on July 1, 2020. As of April 21, 2020, less than three percent of residents in our MH communities, including owner occupied sites and rental home sites have applied and been approved for this program. We anticipate a majority of these residents have or will receive unemployment benefits and economic stimulus under the CARES Act which will aid in the payment of rent due. To the extent stay-at-home restrictions are not lifted, this program could be extended to provide additional temporary relief to residents. Due to the effects of COVID-19 on our residents, we have also suspended charging various fees, including late fees for delinquent payments, resident-paid fees for credit or debit card usage, non-sufficient funds fees, and incremental month to month fees if a resident lease terminates during the pandemic. We have also deferred certain increases to monthly rental rates.

Certain of our RV resorts remain open, where government regulations permit, however all indoor and outdoor activities and gatherings have been suspended to encourage social distancing. Forty four RV resorts in the northern United States and Canada that normally would commence operations in early spring have had their openings delayed and do not yet have confirmed opening dates from local municipalities. To the extent stay-at-home orders and travel restrictions are not lifted, total RV revenue and related ancillary revenue from resort activities will be adversely impacted. For these resorts, peak demand is from Memorial Day weekend in May to Labor Day weekend in September.

~~SUN COMMUNITIES, INC.~~

We remain committed to assisting individuals who are in the process of leasing a site, ~~or leasing~~a wet slip, a dry storage space, or purchasing a home, while maintaining health and safety protocols including following strict social distancing. Virtual viewings of homes are being utilized to avoid or minimize contact. To

The uncertainty of this situation precludes any prediction as to the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

We have identified significant accounting policies that, as a result of the judgments, uncertainties and complexities of the underlying accounting standards and operations involved could result in material changes to our financial condition or results of operations under different conditions or using different assumptions. Details regarding significant accounting policies are described fully in our ~~2019~~2020 Annual Report.

We believe NOI and FFO are appropriate measures given their wide use by and relevance to investors and analysts following the real estate industry. NOI provides a measure of rental operations and does not factor in depreciation, amortization and non-property specific expenses such as general and administrative expenses. FFO, reflecting the assumption that real estate values rise or fall with market conditions, principally adjusts for the effects of GAAP ~~depreciation/~~depreciation / amortization of real estate assets. In addition, NOI and FFO are commonly used in various ratios, pricing ~~multiples/~~multiples / yields and returns and valuation calculations used to measure financial position, performance and value.

NOI is derived from operating revenues minus property operating expenses and real estate taxes. NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure that we believe is helpful to investors as a supplemental measure of operating performance because it is an indicator of the return on property investment and provides a method of comparing property performance over time. We use NOI as a key measure when evaluating performance and growth of particular properties ~~and/~~and / or groups of properties. The principal limitation of NOI is that it excludes depreciation, amortization, interest expense and non-property specific expenses such as general and administrative expenses, all of which are significant costs. Therefore, NOI is a measure of the operating performance of our properties rather than of the Company overall.

We believe that GAAP net income (loss) is the most directly comparable measure to NOI. NOI should not be considered to be an alternative to GAAP net income (loss) as an indication of our financial performance or GAAP cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity; nor is it indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions. Because of the inclusion of items such as interest, depreciation and amortization, the use of GAAP net income (loss) as a performance measure is limited as these items may not accurately reflect the actual change in market value of a property, in the case of depreciation and in the case of interest, may not necessarily be linked to the operating performance of a real estate asset, as it is often incurred at a parent company level and not at a property level.

FFO is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ~~(“NAREIT”~~("NAREIT") as GAAP net income (loss), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable operating property, plus real ~~estate-related~~estate related depreciation and amortization, real estate related impairments, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure that management believes is a useful supplemental measure of our operating performance. By excluding gains and losses related to sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets, impairment and excluding real estate asset depreciation and amortization (which can vary among owners of identical assets in similar condition based on historical cost accounting and useful life estimates), FFO provides a performance measure that, when compared period-over-period, reflects the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, and operating costs, providing perspective not readily apparent from GAAP net income (loss). Management believes the use of FFO has been beneficial in improving the understanding of operating results of REITs among the investing public and making comparisons of REIT operating results more meaningful. We also use FFO excluding certain gain and loss items that management considers unrelated to the operational and financial performance of our core business (“("Core ~~FFO”~~FFO"). We believe that Core FFO provides enhanced comparability for investor evaluations of period-over-period results.

We believe that GAAP net income (loss) is the most directly comparable measure to FFO. The principal limitation of FFO is that it does not replace GAAP net income (loss) as a performance measure or GAAP cash flow from operations as a liquidity measure. Because FFO excludes significant economic components of GAAP net income (loss) including depreciation and amortization, FFO should be used as a supplement to GAAP net income (loss) and not as an alternative to it. Further, FFO is not intended as a measure of a ~~REIT’s~~REIT's ability to meet debt principal repayments and other cash requirements, nor as a measure of working capital. FFO is calculated in accordance with our interpretation of standards established by NAREIT, which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that interpret the NAREIT definition differently.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

We report operating results under two segments: Real Property Operations and Home Sales and Rentals. The Real Property Operations segment owns, operates, develops, or has an interest in, a portfolio of MH and RV communities throughout the U.S. and in Canada, and is in the business of acquiring, operating, and expanding MH and RV communities. The Home Sales and Rentals segment offers MH and RV park model sales and leasing services to tenants and prospective tenants of our communities. We evaluate segment operating performance based on NOI and gross profit. Refer to Note 11, “~~Segment Reporting,” in our accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.~~

~~Summary Statements of Operations~~

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our operations, financial condition and financial results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic, the actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, among others. The rapid development and fluidity of this situation precludes any prediction as to the full adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Real Property Operations - Same ~~Communities~~Community

A key management tool used when evaluating performance and growth of our properties is a comparison of our Same Communities. The Same Communities ~~consist of~~data includes all properties which we have owned and operated continuously since January 1, ~~2019,~~2020, exclusive of properties recently completed or under construction, and other properties as determined by management. The Same Community data may change from time-to-time depending on acquisitions, dispositions, management discretion, significant transactions or unique situations.

In order to evaluate the growth of the Same Communities, management has classified certain items differently than our GAAP statements. The reclassification difference between our GAAP statements and our Same Community portfolio is the reclassification of ~~water and sewer~~utility revenues from ~~income from real~~Real property revenue to ~~utilities.~~operating expenses. A significant portion of our utility charges are re-billed to our residents. We have reclassified water and sewer revenues of $9.0 million and $8.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, to reflect the utility expenses associated with our Same Community portfolio net of recovery.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our principal liquidity demands have historically been, and are expected to continue to be, distributions to our stockholders and the unit holders of the Operating Partnership, capital improvement of properties, the purchase of new and pre-owned homes, property acquisitions, development and expansion of properties, and debt repayment.

Subject to market conditions, we intend to continue to identify opportunities to expand our development pipeline and acquire existing ~~communities.~~properties. We finance acquisitions through available cash, secured financing, draws on our lines of credit, the assumption of existing debt on properties and the issuance of equity securities. We will continue to evaluate acquisition opportunities that meet our criteria. Refer to Note 3, “~~Real~~"Real Estate Acquisitions” and Dispositions," in ~~our~~the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding recent ~~community~~property acquisitions.

We also intend to continue to strengthen our capital and liquidity positions by focusing on our core fundamentals, which are generating positive cash flows from operations, maintaining appropriate debt levels and leverage ratios, and controlling overhead costs.

Financial Flexibility

On March 2, 2021, we priced a $1.1 billion underwritten public offering of an aggregate of 8,050,000 shares at a public offering price of $140.00 per share, before underwriting discounts and commissions. The offering consisted of 4,000,000 shares offered directly by us and 4,050,000 shares offered under a forward equity sales agreement (the "March 2021 Forward Equity Offering"). We sold the 4,000,000 shares on March 9, 2021 and received net proceeds of $537.6 million. We may elect to settle the forward sale agreement relating to the remaining 4,050,000 shares upon one or more forward settlement dates no later than March 2022. We may also elect to cash settle or net share settle all or a portion of our obligations under the March 2021 Forward Equity Offering if we conclude it is in our best interest to do so. If we elect to cash settle or net settle the March 2021 Forward Equity Offering, we may not receive any proceeds. If we fully physically settle the March 2021 Forward Equity Offering, we expect to receive net proceeds of approximately $544.3 million.

On September 30, 2020 and October 1, 2020, we entered into two forward sale agreements (the "September 2020 Forward Equity Offering") relating to an underwritten registered public offering of 9,200,000 shares of our common stock at a public offering price of $139.50 per share. The offering closed on October 5, 2020. We did not initially receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock in the offering. On October 26, 2020, we physically settled the September 2020 Forward Equity Offering (by the delivery of shares of our common stock) and received net proceeds of approximately $1.2 billion. We used approximately $1.1 billion of the net proceeds to fund the cash portion of the Safe Harbor purchase price, and the remainder for working capital and general corporate purposes.

In May 2020, we closed an underwritten registered public offering of 4,968,000 shares of common stock. Proceeds from the offering were $633.1 million after deducting expenses related to the offering. We used the net proceeds of this offering to repay borrowings outstanding under the revolving loan under our senior credit facility.

SUN COMMUNITIES, INC.

In July 2017, we entered into an at the market offering sales agreement ~~(as amended, the “Sales Agreement”~~(the "Sales Agreement") with certain sales agents (collectively, the ~~“Sales Agents”~~"Sales Agents"), whereby we may offer and sell shares of our common stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $450.0 million, from time to time through the Sales Agents. The Sales Agents are entitled to compensation in an agreed amount not to exceed 2.0 percent of the gross price per share for any shares sold ~~from time to time~~ under the Sales Agreement. Through March 31, ~~2020,~~2021, we have sold shares of our common stock for gross proceeds of $163.8 million under the Sales Agreement. There were no issuances of common stock under the Sales Agreement during the three months ended March 31, ~~2020~~2021 or during the year ended December 31, ~~2019.~~2020.

In October 2019, we assumed a term loan facility with Citibank, N.A. ~~(“Citibank”~~("Citibank"), in the amount of $58.0 million in relation to an acquisition. The term loan has a four-year term ending October 29, 2023, and bears interest at a floating rate based on the Eurodollar rate or Prime ~~rate.~~rate plus a margin ranging from 1.20 percent to 2.05 percent. The outstanding balance ~~was $54.2 million at~~as of March 31, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~$57.0 million at~~ December 31, ~~2019,~~2020 was $42.5 million and $45.0 million, respectively.

In May 2019, we amended and restated our credit agreement with Citibank ~~N.A.~~ and certain other lenders. Pursuant to the credit agreement, we entered into aan unsecured senior credit facility with Citibank and certain lenders in the amount of $750.0 million, comprised of a $650.0 million revolving loan, with the ability to use up to $100.0 million for advances in Australian dollars, and a $100.0 million term loan (the “A"A&R ~~Facility”~~Facility"). ~~As of March 31, 2020, the term loan was fully drawn.~~ The A&R Credit Agreement has a four-year term ending May 21, 2023, which can be extended for two additional six-month periods, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions as defined in the credit agreement. The credit agreement also provides for additional commitments in an amount not to exceed $350.0 million. The funding of these additional commitments is subject to certain conditions, including obtaining the consent of the lenders, some of which are outside of our control. If additional borrowings are made pursuant to any such additional commitments, the aggregate borrowing limit under the A&R Facility may be increased up to $1.1 billion.

~~SUN COMMUNITIES, INC.~~

The A&R Facility bears interest at a floating rate based on the Eurodollar rate or Bank Bill Swap Bid Rate plus a margin that is determined based on our leverage ratio calculated in accordance with the credit agreement, which margin can range from 1.20 percent to 2.10 percent for the revolving loan and 1.20 percent to 2.05 percent for the term loan. As of March 31, ~~2020,~~2021, the margin based on our leverage ratio was ~~1.2~~1.20 percent on the revolving loan and ~~1.2~~1.20 percent on the term loan. We had ~~$424.9 million and $100.0~~$352.9 million of borrowings on the revolving loan and no borrowings on the term loan, respectively, as of March 31, ~~2020.~~2021. We had ~~$123.6~~$40.4 million of borrowings on the revolving loan and no borrowings on the term loan, as of December 31, ~~2019.~~2020.

The A&R Facility provides us with the ability to issue letters of credit. Our issuance of letters of credit does not increase our borrowings outstanding under our line of credit with Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank"), but does reduce the borrowing amount available. At March 31, ~~2020~~2021 and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, we had approximately ~~$2.6~~$2.2 million and ~~$2.8~~$2.1 million of ~~availability,~~outstanding letters of credit, respectively.

Pursuant to the terms of the A&R Facility, we are subject to various financial and other covenants. ~~We are currently~~As of March 31, 2021, we were in compliance with these ~~covenants.~~covenants and do not anticipate that we will be unable to meet these covenants in the near term as a result of COVID-19's impact on our business.

On October 30, 2020, in relation to the acquisition of Safe Harbor, we indirectly assumed approximately $829.0 million of Safe Harbor's debt owed to Citizens Bank N.A. ("Citizens"). On December 22, 2020, this facility was amended to, among other things, (a) increase the size of the revolving commitments available to Safe Harbor from $500.0 million to $1.3 billion, subject to borrowing base availability, (b) modify certain provisions relating to the determination of the borrowing base, (c) increase the cap on the incremental borrowing capacity from $350.0 million to $500.0 million, which allows Safe Harbor to request an increase to the revolving commitments and / or to establish additional term loans subject to the higher cap and the satisfaction of certain condition, and (d) modify certain financial covenants. The revolving loan and term loan under the Safe Harbor facility both expire on October 11, 2024. The term loan component of the Safe Harbor Facility can be extended for two additional 12-month periods, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the credit agreement. The revolving commitments do not have an extension option.
