KIMCO REALTY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Business and Organization
Kimco Realty Corporation, a Maryland corporation, is one of North America’s largest publicly traded owners and operators of open-air, grocery-anchored shopping centers and mixed-use assets. The terms “Kimco,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” each refers to Kimco Realty Corporation and our subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise. The Company, its affiliates and related real estate joint ventures are engaged principally in the ownership, management, development and operation of open-air shopping centers, which are anchored generally by grocery stores, off-price retailers, home improvement centers, discounters and/or service-oriented tenants. Additionally, the Company provides complementary services that capitalize on the Company’s established retail real estate expertise.
The Company elected status as a Real Estate Investment Trust (a “REIT”) for federal income tax purposes beginning in its taxable year ended December 31, 1991 and operates in a manner that enables the Company to maintain its status as a REIT. As a REIT, with respect to each taxable year, the Company must distribute at least 90 percent of its taxable income (excluding capital gain) and does not pay federal income taxes on the amount distributed to its shareholders. The Company is not generally subject to federal income taxes if it distributes 100 percent of its taxable income. Most states where the Company holds investments in real estate conform to the federal rules recognizing REITs. Certain subsidiaries have made a joint election with the Company to be treated as taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”), which permit the Company to engage in certain business activities which the REIT may not conduct directly. A TRS is subject to federal and state income taxes on its income, and the Company includes, when applicable, a provision for taxes in its condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company is subject to and also includes in its tax provision non-U.S. income taxes on certain investments located in jurisdictions outside the U.S. These investments are held by the Company at the REIT level and not in the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiaries. Accordingly, the Company does not expect a U.S. income tax impact associated with the repatriation of undistributed earnings from the Company’s foreign subsidiaries.

New Accounting Pronouncements –
In April 2020, the FASB staff developed a question-and-answer document, Topic 842 and Topic 840: Accounting for Lease Concessions related to the Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic, which focuses on the application of the lease guidance in Topic 842, Leases, and Topic 840, Leases (if Topic 842 has not yet been adopted) for lease concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The FASB staff has been made aware that, given the unprecedented and global nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, it may be exceedingly challenging for entities to determine whether existing contracts provide enforceable rights and obligations for lease concessions and, if so, whether those concessions are consistent with the terms of the contract or are modifications to a contract. As such, an entity can elect not to evaluate whether certain relief provided by a lessor in response to the COVID-19 pandemic is a lease modification. An entity that makes this election can then elect to apply the modification guidance to that relief or account for the concession as if it were contemplated as part of the existing contract. This election is available for concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic that do not result in a substantial increase in the rights of the lessor or the obligations of the lessee. For example, this election is available for concessions that result in the total payments required by the modified contract being substantially the same as or less than total payments required by the original contract.
Some concessions will provide a deferral of payments with no substantive changes to the consideration in the original contract. A deferral affects the timing of cash receipts, but the amount of the consideration is substantially the same as that required by the original contract. The FASB staff expects that there will be multiple ways to account for those deferrals, none of which the FASB staff believes are preferable to the others. Two of those methods are:

The fair values for marketable securities are based on published values, securities dealers’ estimated market values or comparable market sales. Such fair value estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that would be realized upon disposition. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the FASB’s Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy).

These entities have been established to own and operate real estate property. The Company’s involvement with these entities is through its majority ownership and management of the properties. The entities were deemed VIEs primarily because the unrelated investors do not have substantive kick-out rights to remove the general or managing partner by a vote of a simple majority or less, and they do not have substantive participating rights. The Company determined that it was the primary beneficiary of these VIEs as a result of its controlling financial interest. At June 30, 2021, total assets of these VIEs were $991.9 million and total liabilities were $60.7 million.

This entity had been established to develop a real estate property to hold as a long-term investment. The Company’s involvement with this entity is through its majority ownership and management of the property. This entity was deemed a VIE primarily because the equity investments at risk were not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional financial support. The initial equity contributed to this entity was not sufficient to fully finance the real estate construction as development costs are funded by the partners throughout the construction period. The Company determined that it was the primary beneficiary of this VIE as a result of its controlling financial interest. At December 31, 2019, total assets of this real estate development VIE were $346.9 million and total liabilities were $82.5 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2020 the Company purchased the partner’s noncontrolling interest and maintains full ownership of the entity. As a result, the entity is no longer a VIE.debt and a construction loan.debt. The assets associated with these encumbered VIEs (“Restricted Assets”) are collateral under the respective mortgages and a construction loan and are therefore restricted and can only be used to settle the corresponding liabilities of the VIE.

The Company’s operating strategies are to (i) own and operate its shopping center properties at their highest potential through maximizing and maintaining rental income and occupancy levels, (ii) attract local area customers to its shopping centers, which offer buy online and pick up in store, off-price merchandise and day-to-day necessities rather than high-priced luxury items, and (iii) maintain a strong balance sheet.
The Company’s investment strategy is to invest capital into its high-quality assets, which are tightly clustered in major metropolitan markets that provide opportunity for growth while disposing of lesser quality assets in less desirable locations. Through this strategy, the Company has transformed its portfolio and will continue these efforts as deemed necessary to maximize the quality and growth of its portfolio.

● | increasing cash flows for reinvestment and/or for distribution to shareholders; |

The magnitude and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the Company’s operations and liquidity is uncertain as of the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as this pandemic continues to evolve globally and within the United States. However, if the COVID-19 pandemic continues, on its current trajectory, such impacts could grow, and become material and could materially disrupt the Company’s business operations and materially adversely affect the Company’s liquidity.
Dividends–
The Company’s Board of Directors will continue to evaluate the Company’s dividend policy on a quarterly basis as the Board of Directors monitorsthey monitor sources of capital and evaluatesevaluate the impact of the economy and capital markets availability on operating fundamentals. Since cash used to pay dividends reduces amounts available for capital investment, the Company generally intends to maintain a dividend payout ratio that reserves such amounts as it considers necessary for the expansion and renovation of shopping centers in its portfolio, debt reduction, the acquisition of interests in new properties and other investments as suitable opportunities arise and such other factors as the Board of Directors considers appropriate. Cash dividends paid for common and preferred issuances of stock for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 and 2019 were $254.7$160.1 million and $265.2$254.7 million, respectively.
Although the Company receives substantially all of its rental payments on a monthly basis, it generally has paidintends to continue paying dividends quarterly. Amounts accumulated in advance of each quarterly distribution will be invested by the Company in short-term money market or other suitable instruments. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the future economic uncertainties, out of an abundance of caution, the Company’s Board of Directors has temporarily suspended the dividend on its common shares. The Company’s Board of Directors will continue to monitor the Company’simpact the COVID-19 pandemic has on the Company's financial performance and economic outlook onoutlook. The Company’s objective is to establish a monthly basis and, at a later date, intends to reinstate the common dividend during 2020 of at least the amount equal tolevel that maintains compliance with the Company’s REIT taxable income distribution requirements.
The On April 27, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.17 per common share payable to shareholders of record on June 9, 2021, which was paid on June 23, 2021. Also, on April 27, 2021, the Company's Board of Directors also declared quarterly dividends with respect to the Company’sCompany's classes of cumulative redeemable preferred shares (Classes L and M). All dividends on preferred shares, which were paid on July 15, 2020,2021, to shareholders of record on July 1, 2020. Additionally,2021.
On July 27, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors declared quarterly dividends with respect to the Company’s classes of cumulative redeemable preferred shares (Classes L and M). All dividends on the preferred shares which are scheduled to be paid on October 15, 2020,2021, to shareholders of record on October 1, 2020.2021. The Company’s Board of Directors anticipates declaring a quarterly cash dividend on its common shares during the third quarter 2021, subsequent to the completion of the Merger.
Funds From Operations
Funds From Operations (“FFO”) is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure utilized to evaluate the operating performance of real estate companies. NAREIT defines FFO as net income/(loss) available to the Company’s common shareholders computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), excluding (i) depreciation and amortization related to real estate, (ii) gains or losses from sales of certain real estate assets, (iii) gains and losses from change in control, (iv) 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 and (v) after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. The Company also made an election to exclude from its calculation of FFO (i) gains and losses on the sale of assets and impairments of assets incidental to its main business and (ii) mark-to-market changes in the value of its equity securities. As such, the Company does not include gains/impairments on land parcels, gains/losses (realized or unrealized) from marketable securities, allowance for credit losses on mortgage receivables or gains/impairments on preferred equity participations in NAREIT defined FFO. As a result of this election, the Company will no longer disclose FFO available to the Company’s common shareholders as adjusted (“FFO as adjusted”) as an additional supplemental measure. The incidental adjustments noted above which were previously excluded from NAREIT FFO and used to determine FFO as adjusted are now included in NAREIT FFO and therefore the Company believes FFO as adjusted is no longer necessary.
The Company presents FFO available to the Company’s common shareholders as it considers it an important supplemental measure of our operating performance and believes it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO available to the Company’s common shareholders when reporting results. Comparison of our presentation of FFO available to the Company’s common shareholders to similarly titled measures for other REITs may not necessarily be meaningful due to possible differences in the application of the NAREIT definition used by such REITs.
FFO is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure of real estate companies’ operating performances, which does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and therefore, should not be considered an alternative for net income or cash flows from operations as a measure of liquidity. Our method of calculating FFO available to the Company’s common shareholders may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs.
The Company’s reconciliation of net income available to the Company’s common shareholders to FFO available to the Company’s common shareholders is reflected in the table below (in thousands, except per share data).

Same Property Net Operating Income(Income (“Same property NOI”NOI”)
Same property NOI is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure of real estate companies’ operating performance and should not be considered an alternative to net income in accordance with GAAP or cash flows from operations as a measure of liquidity. The Company considers Same property NOI as an important operating performance measure because it is frequently used by securities analysts and investors to measure only the net operating income of properties that have been owned by the Company for the entire current and prior year reporting periods. It excludes properties under redevelopment, development and pending stabilization; properties are deemed stabilized at the earlier of (i) reaching 90% leased or (ii) one year following a project’s inclusion in operating real estate. Same property NOI assists in eliminating disparities in net income due to the development, acquisition or disposition of properties during the particular period presented, and thus provides a more consistent performance measure for the comparison of the Company's properties.
Same property NOI is calculated using revenues from rental properties (excluding straight-line rent adjustments, lease termination fees, TIFs and amortization of above/below market rents) less charges for bad debt, operating and maintenance expense, real estate taxes and rent expense plus the Company’s proportionate share of Same property NOI from unconsolidated real estate joint ventures, calculated on the same basis. The Company’s method of calculating Same property NOI available to the Company’s common shareholders may differ from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs.
The following is a reconciliation of Net income available to the Company’s common shareholders to Same property NOI (in thousands):

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
The Company’s primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk. The Company periodically evaluates its exposure to short-term interest rates and will, from time-to-time, enter into interest rate protection agreements which mitigate, but do not eliminate, the effect of changes in interest rates on its floating-rate debt. The Company has not entered, and does not plan to enter, into any derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The following table presents the Company’s aggregate fixed rate and variable rate debt obligations outstanding, including fair market value adjustments and unamortized deferred financing costs, as of June 30, 2020,2021, with corresponding weighted average interest rates sorted by maturity date. The Company had no variable rate debt outstanding at June 30, 2021. The table does not include extension options where available (amounts in millions).

In March 2020, the outbreak of COVID-19 was recognized as a pandemic by the World Health Organization. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a widespread health crisis that has had a significant adverse affect on businesses, economies and financial markets worldwide, and has caused significant volatility in U.S. and international debt and equity markets. There is significant uncertainty around the extent and duration of business disruptions related to COVID-19, as well as its long-term impact on the U.S. economy.
Our business and the businesses of our tenants have been adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and actions taken to contain or prevent its spread. A substantial number of tenants have temporarily closed their businesses, have shortened their operating hours or offered reduced services. As a result, the Company has observed a substantial increase in the number of tenants that have made late or partial rent payments, requested a deferral of rent payments, or defaulted on rent payments, and it is likely that more of our tenants will be similarly impacted in the future. Impacts of COVID-19 could also result in the complete or partial closure of one or more of our tenants’ manufacturing facilities or distribution centers, temporary or long-term disruption in our tenants’ supply chains from local and international suppliers, and/or delays in the delivery of our tenants’ inventory.
Even after governmental restrictions are lifted, our tenants may continue to be impacted by economic conditions resulting from COVID-19 or public perceptionPendency of the risk of COVID-19, which could adversely affect foot traffic to our tenants’ businesses and our tenants’ ability to adequately staff their businesses. Such events could severely disrupt their operations and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. A downturn in our tenants’ businesses that significantly weakens their financial condition could cause them to delay lease commencements or decline to extend or renew leases upon expiration and could lead to additional failures to make rental payments when due, store closures or bankruptcies, and we may be unable to collect past due balances under relevant leases. We have received requests for rent relief from some of our tenants. We are assessing these requests on a case-by-case basis and have agreed, and may continue to agree to certain relief. It is likely there will be additional requests for relief in the future.
In addition, like many other companies, due to government mandates, we have instructed our employees to work from home, which, especially if this persists for a prolonged period of time, may have an adverse impact on our employees, operations and systems. Extended periods of remote work arrangements, could strain our business continuity plans, introduce operational risk, including but not limited to cybersecurity risks, and impair our ability to manage our business. While most of our operations can be performed remotely, there is no guarantee that we will be as effective while working remotely because our team is dispersed, many employees may have additional personal needs to attend to and employees may become sick themselves and be unable to work. Decreased effectiveness of our team could adversely affect our results due to our inability to meet in person with potential tenants, longer time periods to review and approve leases, longer time to respond to tenant and property issues, or other decreases in productivity that could seriously harm our business.Merger
The COVID-19 pandemic,Merger may not be completed on the terms or timeline currently contemplated, or at all.
Although the Company and Weingarten have entered into a future pandemic, could also have materialdefinitive Merger Agreement on April 15, 2021 under which Weingarten will merge with and adverse effects on our abilityinto the Company, the completion of the Merger is subject to successfully operate and on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows due to, among other factors:certain conditions, including:
● |
|
● | approval for listing on the NYSE of the common stock of the Company to be issued in connection with the Merger; |
● | the |
● | no injunction or law prohibiting the Merger; |
● | accuracy of each party’s representations, subject in most cases to materiality or material adverse effect qualifications; |
● | material compliance with each party’s covenants; and |
● | receipt by each of Weingarten and the Company of an opinion to the effect that the Merger will qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") and of an opinion that each of Weingarten and the Company qualify as a REIT under the Code. Neither Weingarten nor the Company can provide assurances that the Merger will be consummated on the terms or timeline currently contemplated, or at all. |
Failure to complete the Merger could adversely affect our stock price and our future business and financial results.
If the Merger is not completed, our ongoing businesses may be adversely affected and we will be subject to numerous risks, including the following:
● | we are paying substantial costs relating to the Merger, such as legal, accounting, financial |
● | our management's focus on the Merger may have prevented the pursuit of other opportunities that could be beneficial to |
● | reputational harm due to |
If the Merger is not completed, we cannot assure our stockholders that these risks will not materialize or will not materially affect our stock price, our business and financial results.
The pendency of the Merger could adversely affect the business and operations of the Company and Weingarten.
In connection with the pending Merger, some of our and Weingarten’s tenants or vendors may delay or defer decisions, which could adversely affect the revenues, earnings, funds from operations, cash flows and expenses of the Company and Weingarten, regardless of whether the Merger is completed. Similarly, current and prospective employees of the Company and Weingarten may experience uncertainty about their future roles with the Company following the Merger, which may materially adversely affect our and Weingarten’s ability to attract and retain key personnel during the pendency of the Merger. In addition, due to interim operating covenants in the Merger Agreement, we and Weingarten may be unable (without the other party’s prior written consent), during the pendency of the Merger, to pursue strategic transactions, undertake significant capital projects, undertake certain significant financing transactions and otherwise pursue other actions, even if such actions would prove beneficial.
Risks Relating to the Company after Completion of the Merger
We expect to incur substantial expenses related to the Merger.
We expect to incur substantial expenses in completing the Merger and integrating the business, operations, networks, systems, technologies, policies and procedures of the Company and Weingarten. There are a large number of processes that must be integrated in the Merger, including leasing, billing, management information, purchasing, accounting and finance, sales, payroll and benefits, fixed asset, lease administration and regulatory compliance. While we and Weingarten 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 the timing of integration expenses.
Our stockholders may be diluted by the Merger and the trading price of shares of the combined company may be affected by factors different from those affecting the price of shares of our common stock before the Merger
The Merger may dilute the ownership position of our stockholders. Upon completion of the Merger, our legacy stockholders will own approximately 71% of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock, and legacy Weingarten stockholders will own approximately 29% of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock. Consequently, our stockholders may have less influence over our management and policies after the effective time of the Merger than they currently exercise over our management and policies. The results of our operations and the trading price of our common stock after the Merger may also be affected by factors different from those currently affecting our results of operations and the trading prices of our common stock. For example, some of our and Weingarten’s existing institutional investors may elect to decrease their ownership in the combined company. Accordingly, the historical trading prices and financial results of the Company and Weingarten may not be indicative of these matters for the combined company after the Merger.
Following the Merger, we may be unable to integrate the business of Weingarten successfully or realize the anticipated synergies and related benefits of the Merger or do so within the anticipated time frame.
The Merger involves the combination of two companies which currently operate as independent public companies. We will be required to devote significant management attention and resources to integrating the business practices and operations of Weingarten. Potential difficulties we may encounter in the integration process include the following:
● | the inability to successfully combine the businesses of the Company and Weingarten in |
● | the |

|
● | the |

|
● | potential unknown liabilities and |

The extent toFor all these reasons, you should be aware that 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 services, standards, controls, procedures and policies, any of which the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact our business, results of operations, financial condition and stock price will depend on numerous evolving factors that are highly uncertain and which we may not be able to predict, including the duration and scope of the pandemic, governmental, business and individual actions that have been and continue to be taken in response to the pandemic, the impact on economic activity from the pandemic and actions taken in response, the impact on our employees any other operational disruptions or difficulties we may face, the effect on our tenants and their businesses,could adversely affect the ability of the Company to maintain relationships with tenants, vendors and employees or to pay their contracted rents and any additional closuresachieve the anticipated benefits of our tenants’ businesses.

Worldwide financial marketsWe have recently experienced periodssubstantial indebtedness and, in connection with the Merger, will incur additional indebtedness. The incurrence of extraordinary disruption and volatility, which has been exacerbated bynew indebtedness could have adverse consequences on our business following the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in heightened credit risk, reduced valuationMerger, such as:
● | requiring the Company to use a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to service our indebtedness, which would reduce the available cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, development projects, and other general corporate purposes and reduce cash for distributions; |
● | limiting our ability to obtain additional financing to fund our working capital needs, acquisitions, capital expenditures, or other debt service requirements or for other purposes; |
● | increasing our costs of incurring additional debt; |
● | increasing our exposure to floating interest rates; |
● | limiting our ability to compete with other companies that are not as highly leveraged, as we may be less capable of responding to adverse economic and industry conditions; |
● | restricting the Company from making strategic acquisitions, developing properties, or exploiting business opportunities; |
● | restricting the way in which we conduct our business because of financial and operating covenants in the agreements governing our existing and future indebtedness; |
● | exposing the Company to potential events of default (if not cured or waived) under covenants contained in our debt instruments that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and operating results; |
● | increasing our vulnerability to a downturn in general economic conditions; and |

Counterparties to certain agreements with the Company or liquidityWeingarten may exercise their contractual rights under such agreements in connection with the Merger.
We and Weingarten are each party to certain agreements that give the counterparty certain rights following a “change in control,” including in some cases the right to terminate such agreements. Under some such agreements, for example certain debt obligations, the Merger may constitute a change in control and therefore the counterparty may exercise certain rights under the agreement upon the closing of the Merger. Any such counterparty may request modifications of its respective agreements as a condition to granting a waiver or consent under its agreement. There is no assurance that such counterparties will not exercise their rights under the agreements, including termination rights where available, that the exercise of any such rights will not result in a material adverse effect or that any modifications of such agreements will not result in a material adverse effect to the combined company subsequent to the Merger.
We face risks relating to cybersecurity attacks and security incidents which could cause loss of confidential information, disrupt operations and materially affect our business and financial results.
We, like all businesses, are subject to cyberattacks and security incidents, which threaten the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our systems and information resources. Those attacks and incidents may be materiallydue to intentional or unintentional acts by employees, contractors or third parties, who seek to gain unauthorized access to our or our service providers’ systems to disrupt operations, corrupt data, or steal confidential information. through malware, computer viruses, ransomware, social engineering (e.g., phishing attachments to e-mails) or other vectors.
The risk of a cybersecurity attack, data breach or disruption, including by computer hackers, foreign governments and adversely affected. These market conditions may affectcyber terrorists, has increased as the Company'snumber, intensity and sophistication of attempted attacks and intrusions from around the world have increased. Our IT networks and related systems are essential to the operation of our business and our ability to access debtperform day-to-day operations and, equity capital markets.in some cases, may be critical to the operations of certain of our tenants. While we maintain some of our own critical information technology systems, we also depend on third-parties to provide important software, technologies, tools and a broad array of services and functions, such as payroll, human resources, electronic communications and certain finance functions, among others. In addition, in the ordinary course of our business, we collect, process, transmit and store sensitive data, including intellectual property, our proprietary business information and that of our customers, suppliers and business partners, as well as personally identifiable information.
Although we, and our service providers, have various measures in place to maintain and manage the security and integrity of IT networks, related systems and information assets, there can be no assurance that these efforts will be effective or that attempted attacks, breaches or disruptions will not be successful or damaging. Our measures to prevent, detect and mitigate these threats, such as password protection, firewalls, backup servers, threat monitoring, log aggregation, vulnerability scanning, data encryption, periodic penetration testing and multifactor authentication, may not be successful in preventing a security incident or data breach or limiting the effects of such a breach. Furthermore, the security measures employed by third-party service providers may prove to be ineffective at preventing breaches of their systems. This is particularly so because attack methodologies change frequently or are not recognized until launched, and we also may be unable to investigate or remediate incidents because attackers are increasingly using techniques and tools designed to circumvent controls, to avoid detection, and to remove or obfuscate forensic evidence.
As a result of recent financial events, wethe COVID-19 pandemic, employees working remotely has amplified certain risks to our business. The number of points of potential cyberattack, such as laptops and mobile devices have increased and any failure to effectively manage these risks, including to timely identify and appropriately respond to any cyberattacks or other disruption to our technology infrastructure, may face increased regulation. Many ofadversely affect our business. Cyber criminals are targeting their attacks on individual employees, utilizing interest in pandemic related information to increase business email compromise scams designed to trick victims into transferring sensitive data or funds, or steal credentials that compromise information systems which extend to multiple platforms throughout the other risk factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 identifyCompany.
The primary risks that could directly result from the occurrence of a cyberattack or are exacerbated by, financial economic downturn. Thesesecurity incident include risks relatedoperational interruption, damage to our real estate assets, the competitive environmentrelationship with our tenants, and regulatory developments.private data exposure. We could be required to expend significant capital and other resources to address an attack or incident, which may not be covered or fully covered by our insurance and which may involve payments for investigations, forensic analyses, legal advice, public relations advice, system repair or replacement, or other services, in addition to any remedies or relief that may result from legal proceedings. Our financial results may be negatively impacted by such attacks and incidents or any resulting negative media attention.
A cyberattack or security incident could:
● | disrupt the proper functioning of our networks and systems and therefore our operations and/or those of certain of our tenants; | |
● | result in misstated financial reports, violations of loan covenants and/or missed reporting deadlines; | |
● | result in our inability to properly monitor our compliance with the rules and regulations regarding our qualifications as a REIT; | |
● | result in unauthorized access to, and destruction, loss, theft, misappropriation or release of proprietary, confidential, sensitive or otherwise valuable information of ours or others, which others could use to compete against us or for disruptive, destructive or otherwise harmful purposes and outcomes; | |
● | result in our inability to maintain the building systems relied upon by our tenants for the efficient use of their leased space; | |
● | require significant management attention and resources to remediate systems, fulfill compliance requirements and /or to remedy any damages that result; | |
● | subject us to regulatory enforcement, including investigative costs and fines or penalties, as the White House, SEC and other regulators have increased their focus on companies' cybersecurity vulnerabilities and risks; | |
● | subject us to claims for breach of contract, damages, credits, penalties or termination of leases or other agreements or other causes of action; or | |
● | damage our reputation among our tenants, investors and associates. |
Moreover, cyber incidents perpetrated against our tenants, including unauthorized access to customers’ credit card data and other confidential information, could diminish consumer confidence and consumer spending and negatively impact our business.
