from one of its properties, such as those that result from wars, earthquakes, tornados or hurricanes and other business disruptions; risks that a significant number of tenants or a tenant or tenants that lease a significant amount of gross leasable area from Tanger may become unable to meet their lease obligations, including as a result of tenant bankruptcies, or that Tanger may be unable to renew or re-lease a significant amount of available space on economically favorable terms; fluctuations and difficulty in forecasting operating results; changes in business strategy or development plans; changes in the outlet industry or in consumer demand for factory outlet stores; interest rate fluctuations; risks related to cyber-attacks or cyber-terrorism that could disrupt our business operation; the ability to realize planned costs savings in acquisitions; and retention of earnings; and additional factors which may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to, those set forth in the section entitled "Business" in Tanger's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, including the subheadings entitled "Recent Developments," "The Outlet Concept," "Our Outlet Centers," "Business Strategy," "Growth Strategy," "Operating Strategy," "Capital Strategy," "Competition," and the section titled "Risk Factors" in Tanger's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.
