Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Readers of this Quarterly Report should refer to the audited financial statements of Retail Properties of America, Inc. for the year ended December 31, 2015, which are included in its 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as certain footnote disclosures which would substantially duplicate those contained in the Annual Report have been omitted from this Quarterly Report. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary, all of which were of normal recurring nature, for a fair presentation have been included in this Quarterly Report.

(1) ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Retail Properties of America, Inc. (the Company) was formed on March 5, 2003 and its primary purpose is to own and operate high quality, strategically located shopping centers in the United States.

The Company has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (REIT) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code). The Company believes it qualifies for taxation as a REIT and, as such, the Company generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on taxable income that is distributed to its shareholders. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on its taxable income. Even if the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income, property or net worth and U.S. federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income. The Company has one wholly-owned subsidiary that has jointly elected to be treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary (TRS) and is subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes at regular corporate tax rates. The income tax expense incurred by the TRS did not have a material impact on the Company’s accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. For example, significant estimates and assumptions have been made with respect to useful lives of assets, capitalization of development costs, fair value measurements, provision for impairment, including estimates of holding periods, capitalization rates and discount rates (where applicable), provision for income taxes, recoverable amounts of receivables, deferred taxes and initial valuations and related amortization periods of deferred costs and intangibles, particularly with respect to property acquisitions. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

All share amounts and dollar amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto are stated in thousands with the exception of per share amounts and per square foot amounts.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, as well as all wholly-owned subsidiaries and any consolidated variable interest entities (VIEs). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Wholly-owned subsidiaries generally consist of limited liability companies (LLCs), limited partnerships and statutory trusts.

The Company’s property ownership as of September 30, 2016 is summarized below:

	Wholly-owned
Retail operating properties (a)	174
Office properties	1
Total operating properties	175
Development and redevelopment properties	2

(a) Excludes one wholly-owned operating property classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2016.

(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Refer to the Company’s 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a summary of its significant accounting policies. Except as disclosed below, there have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies in the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Effective January 1, 2016, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2015-02, Consolidation, which revised the consolidation guidance for all entities. The new standard modifies the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are VIEs or voting interest entities, eliminates the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership and affects the consolidation analysis of reporting entities that are involved with VIEs. The adoption of this pronouncement under the modified retrospective method did not have any effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as the Company did not have any VIEs as of January 1, 2016; however, during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company had acquired three properties through consolidated VIEs and, accordingly, applied the revised consolidation guidance. See Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further details.

Effective January 1, 2016, the Company adopted ASU 2015-16, Business Combinations, which requires the acquirer in a business combination to recognize in the period any adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period rather than retrospectively accounting for those adjustments. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have any effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company elected to early adopt ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern, on January 1, 2016. The new standard requires a company’s management to assess the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year after the date the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued) and provide certain disclosures if conditions or events raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have any effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company elected to early adopt ASU 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation, on January 1, 2016. The new standard allowed the Company to make an accounting policy election to account for share-based payment award forfeitures when they occur, which required a modified retrospective transition by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of the beginning of the period of adoption and resulted in an adjustment of $17 to additional paid-in capital and accumulated distributions in excess of earnings as of January 1, 2016.

Other Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014 with subsequent updates issued in August 2015 and March, April and May 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This new standard is effective January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted beginning January 1, 2017, and will replace existing revenue recognition standards. The sale of investment property and any non-lease components contained within lease agreements will be required to follow the new standard; however, lease components of lease contracts will be excluded from this standard. This pronouncement allows either a full or a modified retrospective method of adoption. Expanded quantitative and qualitative disclosures regarding revenue recognition will be required for contracts that are subject to this guidance. The Company does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement will have a material effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements; however, it will continue to evaluate this assessment until the guidance becomes effective.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall. This new standard is effective January 1, 2018 and will require companies to disclose the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities measured at amortized cost in accordance with the exit price notion and will no longer require disclosure of the methods and significant assumptions used, including any changes, to estimate fair value. In addition, companies will be required to disclose all financial assets and financial liabilities grouped by 1) measurement category and 2) form of financial instrument. The Company does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement will have a material effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements; however, it will continue to evaluate this assessment until the guidance becomes effective.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. This new standard is effective January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted, and will require lessees to recognize a liability to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset, initially measured at the present value of lease payments, for both operating and financing leases. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, lessees

will be permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset to not recognize lease liabilities and lease assets. Under this new pronouncement, lessor accounting will be largely unchanged from existing GAAP. The pronouncement requires a modified retrospective method of adoption, with some optional practical expedients. Upon adoption, the Company will recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for operating leases where it is the lessee, such as ground leases and office and equipment leases. The Company will continue to evaluate the impact of this guidance until it becomes effective.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. This new standard is effective January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted beginning January 1, 2019, and replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses. Financial assets that are measured at amortized cost will be required to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected with an allowance for credit losses deducted from the amortized cost basis. In addition, an entity must consider broader information in developing its expected credit loss estimate, including the use of forecasted information. Generally, the pronouncement requires a modified retrospective method of adoption. The Company will continue to evaluate the impact of this guidance until it becomes effective.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows. This new standard is effective January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted, and adds or clarifies guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows. Of the eight types of cash flows discussed in the new standard, the classification of debt prepayment and debt extinguishment costs as financing outflows will impact the Company as these items are currently reflected as operating outflows. The pronouncement requires a retrospective transition method of adoption. The Company will continue to evaluate the impact of this guidance until it becomes effective.

Variable Interest Entities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company entered into agreements with a qualified intermediary related to Internal Revenue Code Section 1031 tax-deferred exchanges (1031 Exchanges). The Company loaned $65,419, $39,215 and $23,522 to the VIEs to acquire Oak Brook Promenade, Tacoma South and Eastside, respectively. Each 1031 Exchange was completed during the three months ended September 30, 2016 and, in accordance with applicable provisions of the Code, within 180 days after the acquisition date of the property that is the subject of such 1031 Exchange. At the completion of the 1031 Exchanges, the sole membership interests of the VIEs were assigned to the Company and the respective outstanding loans were extinguished, resulting in the entities being wholly owned by the Company and no longer considered VIEs.

Prior to the completion of the 1031 Exchanges, the Company was deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the VIEs as it had the ability to direct the activities of the VIEs that most significantly impacted their economic performance and had all of the risks and rewards of ownership. Accordingly, the Company consolidated the VIEs. No value or income was attributed to the noncontrolling interests. The assets of the VIEs consisted of the investment properties which were operated by the Company.

(5) EQUITY COMPENSATION PLANS

The Company’s 2014 Long-Term Equity Compensation Plan, subject to certain conditions, authorizes the issuance of incentive and non-qualified stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights and other similar awards as well as cash-based awards to the Company’s employees, non-employee directors, consultants and advisors in connection with compensation and incentive arrangements that may be established by the Company’s board of directors or executive management.

The following table summarizes the Company’s unvested restricted shares as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2016:

	Unvested Restricted Shares		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value per Restricted Share
Balance as of January 1, 2016	788		$	15.52
Shares granted (a)	269		$	14.74
Shares vested	(460	)	$	15.48
Shares forfeited (b)	(10	)	$	14.70
Balance as of September 30, 2016 (c)	587		$	15.21

(a) Shares granted vest over periods ranging from 0.4 years to 3.9 years in accordance with the terms of applicable award agreements.

(b) Effective January 1, 2016, the Company made an accounting policy election to account for forfeitures when they occur.

(c) As of September 30, 2016, total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested restricted shares was $4,120, which is expected to be amortized over a weighted average term of 1.4 years.

In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, performance restricted stock units (RSUs) were granted to the Company’s executives. In 2019, following the performance period which concludes on December 31, 2018, one-third of the RSUs will convert into shares of common stock and two-thirds will convert into restricted shares with a one year vesting term. As long as the minimum hurdle is achieved and the executive remains employed during the performance period, the RSUs will convert into shares of common stock and restricted shares at a conversion rate of between 50% and 200% based upon the Company’s Total Shareholder Return as compared to that of the peer companies within the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) Shopping Center Index for 2016 through 2018. If an executive terminates employment during the performance period by reason of a qualified termination, as defined in the agreement, only a prorated portion of his or her outstanding RSUs will be eligible for conversion based upon the period in which the executive was employed during the performance period. If an executive terminates for any reason other than a qualified termination during the performance period, he or she would forfeit his or her outstanding RSUs. In 2019, additional shares of common stock will also be issued in an amount equal to the accumulated value of the dividends that would have been paid during the performance period on the shares of common stock and restricted shares issued at the end of the performance period divided by the then-current market price of the Company’s common stock. The Company calculated the grant date fair value per unit using a Monte Carlo simulation based on the probability of satisfying the market performance hurdles over the remainder of the performance period. Assumptions as of the grant dates included a weighted average risk-free interest rate of 0.89%, the Company’s historical common stock performance relative to the peer companies within the NAREIT Shopping Center Index and the Company’s weighted average common stock dividend yield of 4.59%.

The following table summarizes the Company’s unvested RSUs as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2016:

	Unvested RSUs		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value per RSU
RSUs eligible for future conversion as of January 1, 2016	174		$	14.20
RSUs granted	246		$	13.85
RSUs ineligible for conversion	(29	)	$	13.56
RSUs eligible for future conversion as of September 30, 2016 (a)	391		$	14.02

(a) As of September 30, 2016, total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested RSUs was $3,861, which is expected to be amortized over a weighted average term of 2.7 years.

Immediately prior to the disposition, the lender reduced the Company’s loan obligation to $75,000 which was assumed by the buyer in connection with the disposition. Along with the loan reduction, the lender received the balance of the restricted escrows that they held and the rights to unpaid accounts receivable and forgave accrued interest, resulting in a net gain on extinguishment of debt of $13,653. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company repaid mortgages payable in the total amount of $35,344 which had a weighted average fixed interest rate of 4.34% and made scheduled principal payments of $9,900 related to amortizing loans. One of the mortgages repaid, with a principal balance of $7,750 at maturity, had been swapped to a fixed rate and the Company had guaranteed a portion of the outstanding balance. Upon repayment of the mortgage on its scheduled maturity date, the interest rate swap expired and the Company’s guarantee was extinguished. The Company also assumed a mortgage payable with a principal balance of $15,971 and an interest rate of 3.75% that matures in 2031 in conjunction with the acquisition of The Shoppes at Union Hill.

The majority of the Company’s mortgages payable require monthly payments of principal and interest, as well as reserves for real estate taxes and certain other costs. The Company’s properties and the related tenant leases are pledged as collateral for its mortgages payable. At times, the Company has borrowed funds financed as part of a cross-collateralized package, with cross-default provisions. In those circumstances, one or more of the Company’s properties may secure the debt of another of the Company’s properties. As of September 30, 2016, the Company had a pool of mortgages with a principal balance of $391,436 that was cross-collateralized by the 48 properties in its IW JV 2009, LLC portfolio.

(a) On September 30, 2016, the Company issued $100,000 of 10-year 4.08% senior unsecured notes (Notes Due 2026) in a private placement transaction pursuant to a note purchase agreement it entered into with certain institutional investors on September 30, 2016. The proceeds were used to pay down the Company’s unsecured revolving line of credit and for general corporate purposes. Pursuant to the same note purchase agreement, the Company also expects to issue $100,000 of 12-year 4.24% senior unsecured notes on December 28, 2016.

The indenture, as supplemented, governing the 4.00% senior unsecured notes due 2025 (4.00% Notes Due 2025) (the Indenture) contains customary covenants and events of default. Pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, the Company is subject to various financial covenants, including the requirement to maintain the following: (i) maximum secured and total leverage ratios; (ii) a debt service coverage ratio; and (iii) maintenance of an unencumbered assets to unsecured debt ratio.

The note purchase agreement governing the 4.12% senior unsecured notes due 2021 and the 4.58% senior unsecured notes due 2024 (collectively, Notes Due 2021 and 2024) contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, and events of default. Pursuant to the terms of the note purchase agreement, the Company is subject to various financial covenants, some of which are based upon the financial covenants in effect in the Company’s primary credit facility, including the requirement to maintain the following: (i) maximum unencumbered, secured and consolidated leverage ratios; (ii) minimum interest coverage and unencumbered interest coverage ratios; and (iii) a minimum consolidated net worth.

The note purchase agreement governing the 4.08% senior unsecured notes due 2026 and that will govern the 4.24% senior unsecured notes due 2028 (collectively, Notes Due 2026 and 2028) contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, and events of default. Pursuant to the terms of the note purchase agreement, the Company is subject to various financial covenants, including the requirement to maintain the following: (i) maximum unencumbered, secured and consolidated leverage ratios; (ii) a minimum interest coverage ratio; (iii) a fixed charge coverage ratio (as set forth in the Company’s unsecured credit facility); and (iv) an unencumbered interest coverage ratio (as set forth in the Company’s unsecured credit facility and the note purchase agreement governing the Notes Due 2021 and 2024).

As of September 30, 2016, management believes the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants under the Indenture and the note purchase agreements.

(8) UNSECURED CREDIT FACILITY

On January 6, 2016, the Company entered into its fourth amended and restated unsecured credit agreement with a syndicate of financial institutions led by KeyBank National Association serving as administrative agent and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association serving as syndication agent to provide for an unsecured credit facility aggregating $1,200,000. The Company’s unsecured credit facility consists of a $750,000 unsecured revolving line of credit, a $250,000 unsecured term loan and a $200,000 unsecured term loan (collectively, the Company’s Unsecured Credit Facility) and is priced on a leverage grid at a rate of LIBOR plus a credit spread. The Company received investment grade credit ratings from two rating agencies in 2014. In accordance with the unsecured credit agreement, the Company may elect to convert to an investment grade pricing grid. As of September 30, 2016, making such an election would have resulted in a higher interest rate and, as such, the Company has not made the election to convert to an investment grade pricing grid.

(9) DERIVATIVES

The Company’s objective in using interest rate derivatives is to manage its exposure to interest rate movements and add stability to interest expense. To accomplish this objective, the Company uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed rate payments over the life of the agreement without exchange of the underlying notional amount.

The Company utilizes two interest rate swaps to hedge the variable cash flows associated with variable rate debt. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” and is reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable rate debt. Over the next 12 months, the Company estimates that an additional $34 will be reclassified as a decrease to interest expense. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of derivatives is recognized directly in earnings.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company entered into the following two interest rate swaps which effectively convert one-month floating rate LIBOR to a fixed rate:

Effective Date	Notional		Fixed Interest Rate		Termination Date
March 1, 2016	$	100,000	0.6591	%	December 31, 2017
May 16, 2016	$	150,000	0.6735	%	December 31, 2017

The Company previously had a $300,000 interest rate swap that matured on February 24, 2016. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company repaid a $7,750 variable rate mortgage payable that had been swapped to a fixed rate. Upon repayment of the mortgage on its scheduled maturity date, the interest rate swap expired. As of December 31, 2015, the outstanding principal balance of this variable rate mortgage was $7,910.

The following table summarizes the Company’s interest rate swaps that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk:

	Number of Instruments		Notional
Interest Rate Derivatives	September 30, 2016	December 31, 2015	September 30, 2016		December 31, 2015
Interest rate swaps	2	2	$	250,000	$	307,910

The table below presents the estimated fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments as well as their classification in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The valuation techniques utilized are described in Note 13 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

(10) EQUITY

In December 2015, the Company entered into a new at-the-market (ATM) equity program under which it may issue and sell shares of its Class A common stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $250,000, from time to time. The 2015 ATM equity program supersedes the Company’s previous $200,000 ATM equity program which was in place from March 2013 through

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

November 2015. Actual sales may depend on a variety of factors, including, among others, market conditions and the trading price of the Company’s Class A common stock. Any net proceeds are expected to be used for general corporate purposes, which may include the funding of acquisitions and redevelopment activities and the repayment of debt, including the Company’s Unsecured Credit Facility. The Company did not sell any shares under its ATM equity programs during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015. As of September 30, 2016, the Company had Class A common shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $250,000 remaining available for sale under its ATM equity program.

In December 2015, the Company’s board of directors authorized a common stock repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase, from time to time, up to a maximum of $250,000 of shares of its Class A common stock. The shares may be repurchased in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including price in absolute terms and in relation to the value of the Company’s assets, corporate and regulatory requirements, market conditions and other corporate liquidity requirements and priorities. The common stock repurchase program may be suspended or terminated at any time without prior notice. As of September 30, 2016, the Company had not repurchased any shares under this program.

These shares will continue to be excluded from the computation of basic EPS until contingencies are resolved and the shares are released.

(b) Excludes 848 shares of unvested restricted common stock as of September 30, 2015, which equate to 818 and 760 shares, respectively, on a weighted average basis for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015. These shares were excluded from the computation of basic EPS as the contingencies remained and the shares had not been released as of the end of the reporting period.

(c) There were outstanding options to purchase 41 and 53 shares of common stock as of September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, at a weighted average exercise price of $19.33 and $19.39, respectively.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The following table presents the Company’s financial instruments, which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall. Methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of these instruments are described after the table.

	Fair Value
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
September 30, 2016
Derivative asset	$	—	$	138	$	—	$	138
December 31, 2015
Derivative liability	$	—	$	85	$	—	$	85

Derivatives:  The fair value of the derivative asset and derivative liability are determined using a discounted cash flow analysis on the expected future cash flows of each derivative. This analysis utilizes observable market data including forward yield curves and implied volatilities to determine the market’s expectation of the future cash flows of the variable component. The fixed and variable components of the derivative are then discounted using calculated discount factors developed based on the LIBOR swap rate and are aggregated to arrive at a single valuation for the period. The Company also incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. However, as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation. As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered any applicable credit enhancements. The Company’s derivative instruments are further described in Note 9 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

The following table presents the Company’s assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of September 30, 2016 aggregated by the level within the fair value hierarchy in which those measurements fall. The table includes information related to properties remeasured to fair value during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, except for those properties sold prior to September 30, 2016. Methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of these assets are described after the table.

	Fair Value
	Level 1		Level 2			Level 3			Total		Provision for Impairment (a)
September 30, 2016
Investment properties	$	—	$	3,000	(b)	$	6,600	(c)	$	9,600	$	6,906

(a) Excludes impairment charges recorded on investment properties sold prior to September 30, 2016.

(b) Represents the fair value of the Company’s South Billings Center development property, which was not under active development during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The estimated fair value of South Billings Center was based upon the expected sales price from the executed sales contract, which was subsequently terminated, and determined to be a Level 2 input.

(c) Represents the fair value of the Company’s Saucon Valley Square investment property. The estimated fair value of Saucon Valley Square was determined using the income approach. The income approach involves discounting the estimated income stream and reversion (presumed sale) value of a property over an estimated holding period to a present value at a risk-adjusted rate. Discount rates, growth assumptions and terminal capitalization rates utilized in this approach are derived from property-specific information, market transactions and other financial and industry data. The terminal capitalization rate and discount rate are significant inputs to this valuation. The following are the key Level 3 inputs used in estimating the fair value of Saucon Valley Square as of September 30, 2016, the date the asset was measured at fair value:

	Saucon Valley Square
Rental growth rates	Varies (i)
Operating expense growth rate	3.10%
Discount rate	9.35%
Terminal capitalization rate	8.35%

(i) Since cash flow models are established at the tenant level, projected rental revenue growth rates fluctuate over the course of the estimated holding period based upon the timing of lease rollover, amount of available space and other property and space-specific factors.

The Company did not have any assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of December 31, 2015.

Fair Value Disclosures

The following table presents the Company’s financial liabilities, which are measured at fair value for disclosure purposes, by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall.

Mortgages payable, net:  The Company estimates the fair value of its mortgages payable by discounting the anticipated future cash flows of each instrument at rates currently offered to the Company by its lenders for similar debt instruments of comparable maturities. The rates used are not directly observable in the marketplace and judgment is used in determining the appropriate rate for each of the Company’s individual mortgages payable based upon the specific terms of the agreement, including the term to maturity, the quality and nature of the underlying property and its leverage ratio. The rates used range from 2.5% to 3.8% and 2.2% to 6.0% as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

Unsecured notes payable, net: The quoted market price as of September 30, 2016 was used to value the Company’s 4.00% Notes Due 2025. The Company estimates the fair value of its Notes Due 2021 and 2024 and Notes Due 2026 by discounting the future cash flows at rates currently offered to the Company by its lenders for similar debt instruments of comparable maturities. The rates used are not directly observable in the marketplace and judgment is used in determining the appropriate rates. The weighted average rates used were 3.61% and 4.64% as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

Unsecured term loans, net:  The Company estimates the fair value of its unsecured term loans, net by discounting the anticipated future cash flows related to the credit spreads at rates currently offered to the Company by its lenders for similar instruments of comparable maturities. The rates used are not directly observable in the marketplace and judgment is used in determining the appropriate rates. The weighted average rates used to discount the credit spreads were 1.37% and 1.30% as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

Unsecured revolving line of credit:  The Company estimates the fair value of its unsecured revolving line of credit by discounting the anticipated future cash flows related to the credit spreads at rates currently offered to the Company by its lenders for similar facilities of comparable maturity. The rates used are not directly observable in the marketplace and judgment is used in determining the appropriate rates. The rate used to discount the credit spread was 1.35% as of December 31, 2015. There were no amounts drawn on the unsecured revolving line of credit as of September 30, 2016.

There were no transfers between the levels of the fair value hierarchy during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

(14) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

As of September 30, 2016, the Company had letter(s) of credit outstanding totaling $143 which serve as collateral for certain capital improvements at one of its properties and reduce the available borrowings on its unsecured revolving line of credit.

As of September 30, 2016, the Company had one active redevelopment at Reisterstown Road Plaza located in Baltimore, Maryland. The Company estimates that it will incur net costs of approximately $11,000 to $12,000 related to the redevelopment, of which $610 has been incurred as of September 30, 2016.

(15) LITIGATION

The Company is subject, from time to time, to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. While the resolution of such matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes, based on currently available information, that the final outcome of such matters will not have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

(16) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On October 24, 2016, the Company’s board of directors (Board) increased the number of directors comprising the Board from eight to nine and appointed Robert G. Gifford as a Director of the Company, effective immediately, to serve until the Company’s 2017 annual meeting of stockholders.

On October 25, 2016, the Company declared the cash dividend for the fourth quarter of 2016 for its 7.00% Series A cumulative redeemable preferred stock.

(a) The property was disposed of through a lender-directed sale in full satisfaction of our $94,353 mortgage obligation. Immediately prior to the disposition, the lender reduced our loan obligation to $75,000 which was assumed by the buyer in connection with the disposition. Along with the loan reduction, the lender received the balance of the restricted escrows that they held and the rights to unpaid accounts receivable and forgave accrued interest, resulting in a net gain on extinguishment of debt of $13,653.

(b) Portfolio consists of the following properties: (i) Academy Sports – Houma, (ii) Academy Sports – Port Arthur, (iii) Academy Sports – San Antonio, (iv) CVS Pharmacy – Moore, (v) CVS Pharmacy – Saginaw and (vi) Rite Aid Store (Eckerd) – Olean. At the closing of the disposition, proceeds of $34,973 were temporarily restricted related to potential 1031 Exchanges. During the three months ended September 30, 2016, the related 1031 Exchanges closed and the proceeds were released to us.

(c) The terms of the disposition of Rite Aid Store (Eckerd) – Canandaigua and Tim Horton Donut Shop were negotiated as a single transaction.

(d) At the closing of the disposition, proceeds of $5,383 were temporarily restricted related to a potential 1031 Exchange. During the three months ended September 30, 2016, the related 1031 Exchange closed and the proceeds were released to us.

(e) Portfolio consists of the following properties: (i) Rite Aid Store (Eckerd) – Cheektowaga, (ii) Rite Aid Store (Eckerd) – W. Main St., Batavia, (iii) Rite Aid Store (Eckerd) – Union Rd., West Seneca and (iv) Rite Aid Store (Eckerd) – Greece.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we also disposed of an outparcel for consideration of $2,639. At the closing of the disposition, proceeds of $2,549 were temporarily restricted related to a potential 1031 Exchange. During the three months ended September 30, 2016, the related 1031 Exchange closed and the proceeds were released to us.

In total for 2016, we continue to expect targeted dispositions to be approximately $600,000 to $700,000, some of which have been, and some of which may be, structured as 1031 Exchanges.

approximately 8.1% and comparable renewal re-leasing spreads were approximately 7.7% over previous rental rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

(c) Includes (i) leases signed on units that were vacant for over 12 months, (ii) leases signed without fixed rental payments and (iii) leases signed where the previous and the current lease do not have a consistent lease structure.

Regarding an update on The Sports Authority, Inc. (Sports Authority) bankruptcy proceedings, nine of the 10 leases we had at the beginning of the year have been rejected and one has been assumed by Dick’s Sporting Goods, Inc. During the third quarter of 2016, we signed leases to backfill two of the nine locations. Despite the disruption from these vacancies, our retail portfolio anchor percent leased, including leases signed was 96.9% as of September 30, 2016. Given the continued strength of our portfolio, we plan to remain strategic as we pursue opportunities to upgrade our tenancy and ensure the right mix of operators and unique retailers at our properties. We anticipate that the majority of new leasing activity, based on ABR, for the remainder of 2016 will be attributable to the remaining vacant Sports Authority locations and small shop tenants. The small shop leases are generally expected to be non-comparable in nature as the leased space is more likely to have been vacant for longer than 12 months.

The lease at our one remaining office asset is scheduled to expire on November 30, 2016. We continue to focus on leasing the pending vacant space and have signed one lease to backfill 309,000 square feet of the 895,000 square foot property.

Capital Markets

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we:

• issued $100,000 of 10-year 4.08% senior unsecured notes in a private placement transaction pursuant to a note purchase agreement we entered into with certain institutional investors on September 30, 2016. Pursuant to the same note purchase agreement, we also expect to issue $100,000 of 12-year 4.24% senior unsecured notes on December 28, 2016;

• entered into our fourth amended and restated unsecured credit agreement with a syndicate of financial institutions to provide for an unsecured credit facility aggregating $1,200,000, consisting of a $750,000 unsecured revolving line of credit and two unsecured term loans totaling $450,000 (collectively, our Unsecured Credit Facility);

• disposed of The Gateway through a lender-directed sale in full satisfaction of our $94,353 mortgage obligation;

• repaid $100,000, net of borrowings, on our unsecured revolving line of credit;

• entered into the following interest rate swaps that terminate on December 31, 2017: (i) $100,000 interest rate swap that effectively converts one-month floating rate London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) to a fixed rate of 0.6591% and (ii) $150,000 interest rate swap that effectively converts one-month floating rate LIBOR to a fixed rate of 0.6735%. We previously had a $300,000 interest rate swap that matured on February 24, 2016;

• as discussed above, assumed a mortgage payable with a principal balance of $15,971 and an interest rate of 3.75% that matures in 2031 in conjunction with the acquisition of The Shoppes at Union Hill; and

• repaid mortgages payable totaling $35,344 and made scheduled principal payments of $9,900 related to amortizing loans. One of the mortgages repaid, with a principal balance of $7,750 at maturity, had been swapped to a fixed rate and we had guaranteed a portion of the outstanding balance. Upon repayment of the mortgage on its scheduled maturity date, the interest rate swap expired and our guarantee was extinguished.

Distributions

We declared quarterly distributions totaling $1.3125 per share of preferred stock and quarterly distributions totaling $0.496875 per share of common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Net income attributable to common shareholders	$	70,132		$	75,967		$	(5,835	)

Net income attributable to common shareholders decreased $5,835 from $75,967 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 to $70,132 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 primarily as a result of the following:

• a $8,616 decrease in gain on sales of investment properties related to the sales of 12 investment properties, representing approximately 1,254,000 square feet of GLA, during the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the sales of 10 investment properties, representing approximately 1,568,600 square feet of GLA, during the three months ended September 30, 2015;

• a $4,573 increase in provision for impairment of investment properties. Based on the results of our evaluations for impairment (see Notes 12 and 13 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements), we recognized impairment charges of $4,742 and $169 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively;

• a $3,892 increase in depreciation and amortization primarily due to the write-off of assets taken out of service at a redevelopment property during the three months ended September 30, 2016;

• a $3,570 decrease in other property income primarily as a result of a decrease in lease termination fee income from our same store portfolio; and

• a $3,088 decrease in rental income primarily consisting of:

• a $4,033 decrease in base rent primarily from the operating properties sold or held for sale as of September 30, 2016 and our redevelopment properties, partially offset by an increase from the properties acquired after June 30, 2015 and our same store portfolio;

partially offset by

• a $936 increase in amortization of acquired above and below market lease intangibles primarily from the properties acquired after June 30, 2015;

30

partially offset by

• a $14,823 decrease in interest expense primarily consisting of:

• a $10,136 decrease in prepayment penalties and defeasance premiums; and

• a $4,438 decrease in interest on mortgages payable due to a reduction in mortgage debt; and

• a $3,709 decrease in operating expenses and real estate taxes, net of tenant recovery income, primarily as a result of our same store portfolio and the operating properties sold or held for sale as of September 30, 2016.

Net operating income (NOI)

We define NOI as all revenues other than straight-line rental income, amortization of lease inducements, amortization of acquired above and below market lease intangibles and lease termination fee income, less real estate taxes and all operating expenses other than straight-line ground rent expense and amortization of acquired ground lease intangibles, which are non-cash items. NOI consists of same store NOI (Same Store NOI) and NOI from other investment properties (NOI from Other Investment Properties). We believe that NOI, Same Store NOI and NOI from Other Investment Properties, which are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures, provide an additional and useful operating perspective not immediately apparent from “Operating income” or “Net income attributable to common shareholders” in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). We use these measures to evaluate our performance on a property-by-property basis because they allow management to evaluate the impact that factors such as lease structure, lease rates and tenant base have on our operating results. NOI, Same Store NOI and NOI from Other Investment Properties do not represent alternatives to “Net income” or “Net income attributable to common shareholders” in accordance with GAAP as indicators of our financial performance. Comparison of our presentation of NOI, Same Store NOI and NOI from Other Investment Properties to similarly titled measures for other REITs may not necessarily be meaningful due to possible differences in definition and application by such REITs. For reference and as an aid in understanding our computation of NOI, a reconciliation of net income attributable to common shareholders as computed in accordance with GAAP to Same Store NOI has been presented for each comparable period presented.

Same store portfolio – quarter

For the three months ended September 30, 2016, our same store portfolio consisted of 164 retail operating properties acquired or placed in service and stabilized prior to July 1, 2015. The number of properties in our same store portfolio decreased to 164 as of September 30, 2016 from 172 as of June 30, 2016 as a result of the following:

• the removal of nine same store investment properties sold during the three months ended September 30, 2016; and

• the removal of one same store investment property classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2016;

partially offset by

• the addition of two investment properties acquired during the second quarter of 2015.

The sales of Broadway Shopping Center on July 8, 2016, Mid-Hudson Center on July 21, 2016 and Alison’s Corner on August 4, 2016 did not impact the number of same store properties as they were classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2016.

The properties and financial results reported in “Other investment properties” primarily include the following:

• properties acquired after June 30, 2015;

• our development property;

• our one remaining office property;

• three properties where we have begun redevelopment and/or activities in anticipation of future redevelopment;

• properties that were sold or held for sale in 2015 and 2016;

• the net income from our wholly-owned captive insurance company; and

31

• the historical ground rent expense related to an existing same store investment property that was subject to a ground lease with a third party prior to our acquisition of the fee interest on April 29, 2016.

The following tables present a reconciliation of net income attributable to common shareholders to Same Store NOI and details of the components of Same Store NOI for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015:

Same Store NOI increased $3,992, or 4.6%, primarily due to the following:

• base rent increased $2,170 primarily due to an increase of $1,037 from occupancy growth, $830 from contractual rent changes and $647 from re-leasing spreads, partially offset by a decrease of $143 primarily from percentage and specialty rent; and

• property operating expenses, bad debt expense and real estate taxes, net of tenant recovery income, decreased $2,043 primarily as a result of decreases in net recoverable property operating expenses, net real estate taxes resulting from lower than anticipated real estate tax assessments and the receipt of real estate tax refunds, non-recoverable property operating expenses and bad debt expense.

Net income attributable to common shareholders increased $26,433 from $115,002 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 to $141,435 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 primarily as a result of the following:

• a $32,267 decrease in interest expense primarily consisting of:

• a $19,097 decrease in interest on mortgages payable due to a reduction in mortgage debt; and

• a $17,027 decrease in prepayment penalties and defeasance premiums;

partially offset by

• a $2,217 increase in interest on our Unsecured Credit Facility primarily due to higher average balances on our unsecured revolving line of credit; and

• a $1,944 increase in interest on our unsecured notes payable related to our 4.00% senior unsecured notes due 2025 (4.00% Notes Due 2025), which were issued in March 2015;

• a $13,653 gain on extinguishment of debt recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 associated with the disposition of The Gateway through a lender-directed sale in full satisfaction of our mortgage obligation. No such gain was recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2015;

• an $8,665 decrease in operating expenses and real estate taxes, net of tenant recovery income, primarily as a result of the operating properties sold or held for sale as of September 30, 2016 and our same store portfolio; and

• a $6,978 gain on extinguishment of other liabilities recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 related to the acquisition of the fee interest in one of our existing investment properties that was previously subject to a ground lease with a third party. The amount recognized represents the reversal of the straight-line ground rent liability associated with the ground lease;

33

partially offset by

• a $15,477 decrease in gain on sales of investment properties related to the sales of 28 investment properties and one outparcel, representing approximately 2,387,700 square feet of GLA, during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the sales of 20 investment properties, representing approximately 3,069,600 square feet of GLA, during the nine months ended September 30, 2015;

• an $11,444 decrease in rental income primarily consisting of:

• a $12,365 decrease in base rent from the operating properties sold or held for sale as of September 30, 2016 and our redevelopment properties, partially offset by an increase from the properties acquired during 2015 and 2016 and our same store portfolio;

partially offset by

• a $1,066 increase in amortization of acquired above and below market lease intangibles primarily from the properties acquired during 2015 and 2016; and

• a $6,935 increase in provision for impairment of investment properties. Based on the results of our evaluations for impairment (see Notes 12 and 13 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements), we recognized impairment charges of $11,048 and $4,113 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Same store portfolio – year to date

For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, our same store portfolio consisted of 158 retail operating properties acquired or placed in service and stabilized prior to January 1, 2015. The number of properties in our same store portfolio decreased to 158 as of September 30, 2016 from 168 as of June 30, 2016. Refer to the lead-in paragraph to the comparison of the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 table for an explanation of the change in the number of properties in our same store portfolio; however, the same store portfolio for the three months ended September 30, 2016, consisting of 164 retail operating properties, includes two investment properties acquired during the second quarter of 2015 and four investment properties acquired during the first quarter of 2015, none of which are included in the same store portfolio for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

The following tables present a reconciliation of net income attributable to common shareholders to Same Store NOI and details of the components of Same Store NOI for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015:

Same Store NOI increased $8,964, or 3.6%, primarily due to the following:

• base rent increased $5,491 primarily due to an increase of $2,370 from contractual rent changes, $2,089 from occupancy growth and $1,698 from re-leasing spreads, partially offset by a decrease of $661 from rent abatements; and

• property operating expenses, bad debt expense and real estate taxes, net of tenant recovery income, decreased $3,591 primarily as a result of decreases in non-recoverable property operating expenses, bad debt expense, net recoverable property operating expenses, and net real estate taxes resulting from lower than anticipated real estate tax assessments and the receipt of real estate tax refunds.

Funds From Operations Attributable to Common Shareholders

The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, an industry trade group, has promulgated a financial measure known as funds from operations (FFO). As defined by NAREIT, FFO means net income (loss) computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable real estate, plus depreciation and amortization and impairment charges on depreciable real estate. We have adopted the NAREIT definition in our computation of FFO attributable to common shareholders. Management believes that, subject to the following limitations, FFO attributable to common shareholders provides a basis for comparing our performance and operations to those of other REITs.

We define Operating FFO attributable to common shareholders as FFO attributable to common shareholders excluding the impact of discrete non-operating transactions and other events which we do not consider representative of the comparable operating results of our real estate operating portfolio, which is our core business platform. Specific examples of discrete non-operating transactions and other events include, but are not limited to, the financial statement impact of gains or losses associated with the early extinguishment of debt or other liabilities, impairment charges to write down the carrying value of assets other than depreciable real estate, actual or anticipated settlement of litigation involving the Company and executive and realignment separation charges, which are otherwise excluded from our calculation of FFO attributable to common shareholders.

We believe that FFO attributable to common shareholders and Operating FFO attributable to common shareholders, which are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures, provide an additional and useful means to assess the operating performance of REITs. FFO attributable to common shareholders and Operating FFO attributable to common shareholders do not represent alternatives to (i) “Net Income” or “Net income attributable to common shareholders” as indicators of our financial performance, or (ii) “Cash flows from operating activities” in accordance with GAAP as measures of our capacity to fund cash needs, including the payment of dividends. Comparison of our presentation of Operating FFO attributable to common shareholders to similarly titled measures for other REITs may not necessarily be meaningful due to possible differences in definition and application by such REITs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We anticipate that cash flows from the below-listed sources will provide adequate capital for the next 12 months and beyond for all scheduled principal and interest payments on our outstanding indebtedness, including maturing debt, current and anticipated tenant allowances or other capital obligations, the shareholder distributions required to maintain our REIT status and compliance with the financial covenants of our Unsecured Credit Facility and our unsecured notes.

Our primary expected sources and uses of liquidity are as follows:

	SOURCES		USES
▪	Operating cash flow	▪	Tenant allowances and leasing costs
▪	Cash and cash equivalents	▪	Improvements made to individual properties that are not
▪	Available borrowings under our unsecured revolving		recoverable through common area maintenance charges to tenants
	line of credit	▪	Acquisitions
▪	Proceeds from capital markets transactions	▪	Debt repayments
▪	Proceeds from asset dispositions	▪	Distribution payments
		▪	Redevelopment, renovation or expansion activities
		▪	New development
		▪	Repurchases of our common stock

We have made substantial progress over the last several years in strengthening our balance sheet and addressing debt maturities funded primarily through asset dispositions and capital markets transactions, including public offerings of our common stock and preferred stock and private and public offerings of senior unsecured notes. As of September 30, 2016, we had $2,865 of scheduled principal amortization related to longer-dated maturities through the end of 2016, which we plan on satisfying through a combination of proceeds from asset dispositions, capital markets transactions and our unsecured revolving line of credit.

(a) Fixed rate mortgages payable excludes mortgage premium of $1,544, discount of $(633) and capitalized loan fees of $(5,701), net of accumulated amortization, as of September 30, 2016. Unsecured notes payable excludes discount of $(1,001) and capitalized loan fees of $(3,520), net of accumulated amortization, as of September 30, 2016. Term loans exclude capitalized loan fees of $(2,698), net of accumulated amortization, as of September 30, 2016. Capitalized loan fees related to the revolving line of credit are included in “Other assets, net” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

(b) On September 30, 2016, we issued $100,000 of 10-year 4.08% senior unsecured notes in a private placement transaction pursuant to a note purchase agreement we entered into with certain institutional investors on September 30, 2016. Pursuant to the same note purchase agreement, we also expect to issue $100,000 of 12-year 4.24% senior unsecured notes on December 28, 2016.

(c) Reflects $250,000 of LIBOR-based variable rate debt that has been swapped to a weighted average fixed rate of 0.6677% plus a credit spread based on a leverage grid ranging from 1.30% to 2.20% through December 31, 2017. The applicable credit spread was 1.30% as of September 30, 2016.

(d) We have two one year extension options on the term loan due 2018 and two six-month extension options on the revolving line of credit, which we may exercise as long as we are in compliance with the terms of the unsecured credit agreement and we pay an extension fee equal to 0.15% for the term loan and 0.075% of the commitment amount being extended for the revolving line of credit.

Mortgages Payable

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we disposed of The Gateway through a lender-directed sale in full satisfaction of our $94,353 mortgage obligation, which had a fixed interest rate of 6.57%. Immediately prior to the disposition, the lender reduced our loan obligation to $75,000 which was assumed by the buyer in connection with the disposition. Along with the loan reduction, the lender received the balance of the restricted escrows that they held and the rights to unpaid accounts receivable and forgave accrued interest, resulting in a net gain on extinguishment of debt of $13,653. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we repaid mortgages payable in the total amount of $35,344 which had a weighted average fixed interest rate of 4.34% and made scheduled principal payments of $9,900 related to amortizing loans. One of the mortgages repaid, with a principal balance of $7,750 at maturity, had been swapped to a fixed rate and we had guaranteed a portion of the outstanding balance. Upon repayment of the mortgage on its scheduled maturity date, the interest rate swap expired and our guarantee was extinguished. We also assumed a mortgage payable with a principal balance of $15,971 and an interest rate of 3.75% that matures in 2031 in conjunction with the acquisition of The Shoppes at Union Hill.

Unsecured Notes Payable

On September 30, 2016, we issued $100,000 of 10-year 4.08% senior unsecured notes due 2026 (Notes Due 2026) in a private placement transaction pursuant to a note purchase agreement we entered into with certain institutional investors on September 30, 2016. The proceeds were used to pay down our unsecured revolving line of credit and for general corporate purposes. Pursuant to the same note purchase agreement, we also expect to issue $100,000 of 12-year 4.24% senior unsecured notes on December 28, 2016 (Notes Due 2028 and, collectively, Notes Due 2026 and 2028). On March 12, 2015, we completed a public offering of $250,000 in aggregate principal amount of our 4.00% Notes Due 2025. The 4.00% Notes Due 2025 were priced at 99.526% of

37

the principal amount to yield 4.058% to maturity. In addition, on June 30, 2014, we completed a private placement of $250,000 of unsecured notes, consisting of $100,000 of 4.12% senior unsecured notes due 2021 and $150,000 of 4.58% senior unsecured notes due 2024 (collectively, Notes Due 2021 and 2024). The proceeds from the 4.00% Notes Due 2025 and the Notes Due 2021 and 2024 were used to repay a portion of our unsecured revolving line of credit.

The note purchase agreement governing the Notes Due 2026 and 2028 contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, and events of default. Pursuant to the terms of the note purchase agreement, we are subject to various financial covenants, including the requirement to maintain the following: (i) maximum unencumbered, secured and consolidated leverage ratios; (ii) a minimum interest coverage ratio; (iii) a fixed charge coverage ratio (as set forth in our unsecured credit facility); and (iv) an unencumbered interest coverage ratio (as set forth in our unsecured credit facility and the note purchase agreement governing the Notes Due 2021 and 2024).

The indenture, as supplemented, governing the 4.00% Notes Due 2025 (the Indenture) contains customary covenants and events of default. Pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, we are subject to various financial covenants, including the requirement to maintain the following: (i) maximum secured and total leverage ratios; (ii) a debt service coverage ratio; and (iii) maintenance of an unencumbered assets to unsecured debt ratio.

The note purchase agreement governing the Notes Due 2021 and 2024 contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, and events of default. Pursuant to the terms of the note purchase agreement, we are subject to various financial covenants, some of which are based upon the financial covenants in effect in our primary credit facility, including the requirement to maintain the following: (i) maximum unencumbered, secured and consolidated leverage ratios; (ii) minimum interest coverage and unencumbered interest coverage ratios; and (iii) a minimum consolidated net worth.

As of September 30, 2016, management believes we were in compliance with the financial covenants under the Indenture and the note purchase agreements.

Unsecured Credit Facility

On January 6, 2016, we entered into our fourth amended and restated unsecured credit agreement with a syndicate of financial institutions led by KeyBank National Association serving as administrative agent and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association serving as syndication agent to provide for an unsecured credit facility aggregating $1,200,000, or our Unsecured Credit Facility. Our Unsecured Credit Facility consists of a $750,000 unsecured revolving line of credit, a $250,000 unsecured term loan and a $200,000 unsecured term loan and is priced on a leverage grid at a rate of LIBOR plus a credit spread. We received investment grade credit ratings from two rating agencies in 2014. In accordance with the unsecured credit agreement, we may elect to convert to an investment grade pricing grid. As of September 30, 2016, making such an election would have resulted in a higher interest rate and, as such, we have not made the election to convert to an investment grade pricing grid.

The following table summarizes the key terms of our Unsecured Credit Facility:

				Leverage-Based Pricing		Ratings-Based Pricing
Unsecured Credit Facility	Maturity Date	Extension Option	Extension Fee	Credit Spread	Unused Fee	Credit Spread	Facility Fee
$250,000 unsecured term loan	1/5/2021	N/A	N/A	1.30% - 2.20%	N/A	0.90% - 1.75%	N/A
$200,000 unsecured term loan	5/11/2018	2 one year	0.15%	1.45% - 2.20%	N/A	1.05% - 2.05%	N/A
$750,000 unsecured revolving line of credit	1/5/2020	2 six month	0.075%	1.35% - 2.25%	0.15% - 0.25%	0.85% - 1.55%	0.125% - 0.30%

Our Unsecured Credit Facility has a $400,000 accordion option that allows us, at our election, to increase the total credit facility up to $1,600,000, subject to (i) customary fees and conditions including, but not limited to, the absence of an event of default as defined in the agreement and (ii) our ability to obtain additional lender commitments.

The fourth amended and restated unsecured credit agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, and events of default. Pursuant to the terms of the fourth amended and restated unsecured credit agreement, we are subject to various financial covenants, including the requirement to maintain the following: (i) maximum unencumbered, secured and consolidated leverage ratios; and (ii) minimum fixed charge and unencumbered interest coverage ratios. As of September 30, 2016, management believes we were in compliance with the financial covenants and default provisions under the unsecured credit agreement.

As of September 30, 2016, we had letter(s) of credit outstanding totaling $143 which serve as collateral for certain capital improvements at one of our properties and reduce the available borrowings on our unsecured revolving line of credit.

(a) Excludes mortgage premium of $1,544 and discount of $(633), net of accumulated amortization, as of September 30, 2016.

(b) $250,000 of LIBOR-based variable rate debt has been swapped to a fixed rate through two interest rate swaps. The swaps effectively convert one-month floating rate LIBOR to a weighted average fixed rate of 0.6677% through December 31, 2017.

(c) Excludes discount of $(1,001), net of accumulated amortization, as of September 30, 2016 and $100,000 of 12-year 4.24% senior unsecured notes which we expect to issue on December 28, 2016 pursuant to a note purchase agreement we entered into with certain institutional investors on September 30, 2016.

(d) Total debt excludes capitalized loan fees of $(11,919), net of accumulated amortization, as of September 30, 2016 which are included as a reduction to the respective debt balances. The weighted average years to maturity of consolidated indebtedness was 4.8 years as of September 30, 2016. The $107,066 difference between total debt outstanding and its fair value is primarily attributable to a $57,011 difference related to our IW JV 2009, LLC pool of mortgages. This pool matures in 2019, has an interest rate of 7.50% and an outstanding principal balance of $391,436 as of September 30, 2016.

(e) Represents interest rates as of September 30, 2016.

We plan on addressing our debt maturities through a combination of proceeds from asset dispositions, capital markets transactions and our unsecured revolving line of credit.

Distributions and Equity Transactions

Our distributions of current and accumulated earnings and profits for U.S. federal income tax purposes are taxable to shareholders, generally, as ordinary income. Distributions in excess of these earnings and profits generally are treated as a non-taxable reduction of the shareholders’ basis in the shares to the extent thereof (non-dividend distributions) and thereafter as taxable gain. We intend to continue to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code) generally requires that a REIT annually distributes to its shareholders at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gains. The Code imposes tax on any undistributed REIT taxable income.

To satisfy the requirements for qualification as a REIT and generally not be subject to U.S. federal income and excise tax, we intend to make regular quarterly distributions of all, or substantially all, of our taxable income to shareholders. Our future distributions will be at the discretion of our board of directors. When determining the amount of future distributions, we expect to consider, among other factors, (i) the amount of cash generated from our operating activities, (ii) our expectations of future cash flow, (iii) our determination of near-term cash needs for debt repayments, acquisitions of new properties, redevelopment opportunities and existing or future share repurchases, (iv) the timing of significant re-leasing activities and the establishment of

39

additional cash reserves for anticipated tenant allowances and general property capital improvements, (v) our ability to continue to access additional sources of capital, (vi) the amount required to be distributed to maintain our status as a REIT and to reduce any income and excise taxes that we otherwise would be required to pay, (vii) the amount required to declare and pay in cash, or set aside for the payment of, the dividends on our Series A preferred stock for all past dividend periods and (viii) the requirement contained in our Unsecured Credit Facility to distribute at least an amount necessary to maintain our qualification. Under certain circumstances, we may be required to make distributions in excess of cash available for distribution in order to meet the REIT distribution requirements.

In December 2015, we entered into a new at-the-market (ATM) equity program under which we may issue and sell shares of our Class A common stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $250,000, from time to time. The 2015 ATM equity program supersedes our previous $200,000 ATM equity program which was in place from March 2013 through November 2015. Actual sales may depend on a variety of factors, including, among others, market conditions and the trading price of our Class A common stock. Any net proceeds are expected to be used for general corporate purposes, which may include the funding of acquisitions and redevelopment activities and the repayment of debt, including our Unsecured Credit Facility. We did not sell any shares under our ATM equity program during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. As of September 30, 2016, we had Class A common shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $250,000 remaining available for sale under our ATM equity program.

In December 2015, our board of directors authorized a common stock repurchase program under which we may repurchase, from time to time, up to a maximum of $250,000 of shares of our Class A common stock. The shares may be repurchased in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including price in absolute terms and in relation to the value of our assets, corporate and regulatory requirements, market conditions and other corporate liquidity requirements and priorities. The common stock repurchase program may be suspended or terminated at any time without prior notice. As of September 30, 2016, we had not repurchased any shares under this program.

Capital Expenditures and Redevelopment Activity

We anticipate that obligations related to capital improvements, including expansions and pad developments, at our operating properties in 2016 can be met with cash flows from operations and working capital.

As of September 30, 2016, we owned one development property, South Billings Center located in Billings, Montana, with a carrying value of $3,000 which was not under active development. We began active redevelopment at Reisterstown Road Plaza, located in Baltimore, Maryland, in the third quarter of 2016. We anticipate stabilization in 2017 and estimate that we will incur net costs of approximately $11,000 to $12,000 related to the redevelopment, of which $610 has been incurred as of September 30, 2016. We anticipate funding the redevelopment with cash flows from operations, working capital and proceeds from our unsecured revolving line of credit.

Dispositions

We continue to execute our long-term portfolio repositioning strategy of disposing of select non-target and single-user properties. The following table highlights our property dispositions during 2015 and the nine months ended September 30, 2016:

	Number of Properties Sold	Square Footage	Consideration		Aggregate Proceeds, Net (a)		Debt Extinguished
2016 Dispositions (through September 30, 2016)	28	2,384,300	$	390,682	$	304,806	$	94,353	(b)
2015 Dispositions	26	3,917,200	$	516,444	$	505,524	$	25,724	(c)

(a) Represents total consideration net of transaction costs. 2015 dispositions include the disposition of two development properties, one of which had been held in a consolidated joint venture.

(b) Represents The Gateway’s outstanding mortgage payable prior to the lender-directed sale of the property. Immediately prior to the disposition, the lender reduced our loan obligation to $75,000 which was assumed by the buyer in connection with the disposition. Along with the loan reduction, the lender received the balance of the restricted escrows that they held and the rights to unpaid accounts receivable and forgave accrued interest, resulting in a net gain on extinguishment of debt of $13,653.

(c) Excludes $95,881 of mortgages payable repayments or defeasances completed prior to disposition of the respective property for the year ended December 31, 2015.

In addition to the transactions presented in the preceding table, during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we received net proceeds of $2,549 from the sale of an outparcel at one of our properties. During the year ended December 31, 2015, we received net proceeds of $300 from condemnation awards.

40

Acquisitions

We continue to execute our investment strategy of acquiring high quality, multi-tenant retail assets within our target markets. The following table highlights our asset acquisitions during 2015 and the nine months ended September 30, 2016:

	Number of Assets Acquired	Square Footage	Acquisition Price		Mortgage Debt
2016 Acquisitions (through September 30, 2016) (a)	8	761,700	$	283,337	$	15,971
2015 Acquisitions (b)	11	1,179,800	$	463,136	$	—

(a) 2016 acquisitions include the purchase of the fee interest in our Ashland & Roosevelt multi-tenant retail operating property that was previously subject to a ground lease with a third party and the anchor space improvements in our Woodinville Plaza multi-tenant retail operating property that was previously subject to a ground lease with us. The total number of properties in our portfolio was not affected by these transactions.

(b) 2015 acquisitions include the purchase of the following: 1) a land parcel at our Lake Worth Towne Crossing multi-tenant retail operating property, 2) a single-user outparcel located at our Southlake Town Square multi-tenant retail operating property that was subject to a ground lease with us prior to the transaction, and 3) a single-user outparcel located at our Royal Oaks Village II multi-tenant retail operating property. The total number of properties in our portfolio was not affected by these transactions.

Summary of Cash Flows

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2016			2015			Change
Cash provided by operating activities	$	205,008		$	209,076		$	(4,068	)
Cash used in investing activities	(8,254		)	(27,992		)	19,738

Cash and cash equivalents, at beginning of period	51,424			112,292
Cash and cash equivalents, at end of period	$	69,071		$	116,538

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Cash flows from operating activities consist primarily of net income from property operations, adjusted for the following, among others: (i) depreciation and amortization, (ii) provision for impairment of investment properties, (iii) gain on sales of investment properties, (iv) gain on extinguishment of debt, and (v) gain on extinguishment of other liabilities. Net cash provided by operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 decreased $4,068 primarily due to the following:

• a $6,932 decrease in NOI (including a decrease in NOI from Other Investment Properties of $15,896, partially offset by an increase in Same Store NOI of $8,964);

• a $5,427 increase in cash bonuses paid;

• a $1,579 increase in cash paid for leasing fees and inducements; and

• ordinary course fluctuations in working capital accounts;

partially offset by

• a $12,451 reduction in cash paid for interest.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Cash flows from investing activities consist primarily of proceeds from the sales of investment properties, net of cash paid to purchase investment properties and to fund capital expenditures, tenant improvements and developments in progress, in addition to changes in restricted escrows. Net cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 decreased $19,738 primarily due to the following:

• a $141,480 decrease in cash paid to purchase investment properties;

partially offset by

41

• an $87,852 decrease in proceeds from the sales of investment properties; and

• a $27,172 net change in restricted escrow activity;

We will continue to execute our investment strategy by pursuing targeted dispositions. The majority of the proceeds from disposition activity for the remainder of 2016 is expected to be used to acquire high quality, multi-tenant retail assets within our target markets, repay debt or potentially repurchase our common stock. In addition, tenant improvement costs associated with re-leasing vacant space may continue to be significant.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Cash flows from financing activities primarily consist of proceeds from our Unsecured Credit Facility and the issuance of debt instruments, partially offset by distribution payments, repayments of our Unsecured Credit Facility, principal payments on mortgages payable and the purchase of U.S. Treasury securities in connection with defeasance of mortgages payable. Net cash used in financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 increased $2,269 primarily due to the following:

• a $230,000 decrease in net proceeds from our Unsecured Credit Facility;

• a $148,815 decrease in proceeds from the issuance of unsecured notes related to a $100,000 private placement transaction during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and a $248,815 underwritten public offering in 2015; and

• a $4,149 increase in the payment of loan fees and deposits;

partially offset by

• a $300,920 decrease in principal payments on mortgages payable; and

• an $81,547 decrease in the purchase of U.S. Treasury securities in connection with defeasance of mortgages payable during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

We plan to continue to address our debt maturities through a combination of proceeds from asset dispositions, capital markets transactions and our unsecured revolving line of credit.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Contractual Obligations

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, there were no material changes outside the normal course of business to the contractual obligations identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K contains a description of our critical accounting policies, including those relating to the acquisition of investment properties, impairment of long-lived assets and unconsolidated joint ventures, cost capitalization, depreciation and amortization, development and redevelopment, investment properties held for sale, partially-owned entities, derivative and hedging, revenue recognition, accounts and notes receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts and income taxes.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We may be exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of our long-term debt that is used to maintain liquidity and fund our operations. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs. To achieve our objectives, we borrow primarily at fixed rates, and in some cases variable rates with the ability to convert to fixed rates.

With regard to variable rate financing, we assess interest rate cash flow risk by continually identifying and monitoring changes in interest rate exposures that may adversely impact expected future cash flows and by evaluating hedging opportunities. We maintain risk management control systems to monitor interest rate cash flow risk attributable to both our outstanding or forecasted debt obligations as well as our potential offsetting hedge positions. The risk management control systems involve the use of analytical techniques, including cash flow sensitivity analysis, to estimate the expected impact of changes in interest rates on our future cash flows.

As of September 30, 2016, we had $250,000 of variable rate debt based on LIBOR that has been swapped to fixed rate debt through interest rate swaps. Our interest rate swaps as of September 30, 2016 are summarized in the following table:

	Notional Amount		Termination Date	Fair Value of Derivative Asset
Fixed rate portion of unsecured credit facility	$	250,000	December 31, 2017	$	138

For a discussion concerning the scheduled debt maturities and principal amortization of our indebtedness as of September 30, 2016 for the remainder of 2016, each of the next four years and thereafter and the weighted average interest rates by year to evaluate the expected cash flows and sensitivity to interest rate changes, refer to Note 6 to the condensed consolidated financial statements and “Item 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources — Debt Maturities.”

A decrease of 1% in market interest rates would result in a hypothetical decrease in our derivative asset of approximately $2,187.

The combined carrying amount of our mortgages payable, unsecured notes payable and Unsecured Credit Facility is approximately $119,075 lower than the fair value as of September 30, 2016.

We had $200,000 of variable rate debt, excluding $250,000 of variable rate debt that has been swapped to fixed rate debt, with interest rates varying based upon LIBOR, with a weighted average interest rate of 1.97% as of September 30, 2016. An increase in the variable interest rate on this debt constitutes a market risk. If interest rates increase by 1% based on debt outstanding as of September 30, 2016, interest expense would increase by approximately $2,000 on an annualized basis.

We may use additional derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to changes in interest rates. To the extent we do, we are exposed to market and credit risk. Market risk is the adverse effect on the value of a financial instrument that results from a change in interest rates. The market risk associated with interest rate contracts is managed by establishing and monitoring parameters that limit the types and degree of market risk that may be undertaken. Credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. When the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, the counterparty owes us, which creates credit risk for us. When the fair value of a derivative contract is negative, we owe the counterparty and, therefore, we generally are not exposed to the credit risk of the counterparty. We minimize credit risk in derivative instruments by entering into transactions with highly rated counterparties or with the same party providing the financing, with the right of offset.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We have established disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to us, including our consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to the officers who certify our financial reports and to the members of senior management and the board of directors.

Based on management’s evaluation as of September 30, 2016, our president and chief executive officer and our executive vice president, chief financial officer and treasurer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) are effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our president and chief executive officer and our executive vice president, chief financial officer and treasurer to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There were no changes to our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are subject, from time to time, to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

On October 31, 2016, following an ordinary course review of our existing executive compensation arrangements and in connection with the upcoming expiration of the current terms of our existing retention agreements, we entered into retention agreements with each of Steven P. Grimes, Shane C. Garrison, Heath R. Fear and Paula C. Maggio. The retention agreements for Messrs. Grimes and Garrison replaced their prior retention agreements with us.

The term of each retention agreement is for three years beginning on October 31, 2016, with automatic two-year renewals thereafter unless written notice of termination is provided by either party. The term will also be automatically extended if a change in control, as defined in the agreement, occurs before the end of the then current term.

46

Provided the executive enters into a general release of claims for our benefit, the retention agreements provide for the following payments and benefits in connection with the termination of each executive’s employment by us without cause or termination by him or her for good reason: (1) cash payment equal to an agreed upon multiple (as described below) times the sum of (i) such executive’s annual base salary and (ii) an amount equal to the greater of (A) the dollar amount of such executive’s target annual cash bonus opportunity, or (B) the actual annual cash bonus earned for the most recent completed year for which an annual cash bonus had been determined; (2) cash payment of (i) any unpaid annual cash bonus earned for the prior year and (ii) a pro-rata annual cash bonus for the year in which the termination occurs; (3) acceleration of vesting of unvested equity awards that are only subject to time-based vesting conditions; (4) retention of outstanding equity awards granted on or after the date the retention agreements were entered into that remain subject to performance-based vesting conditions, with the earning of such awards to be based on achievement of the original performance-based vesting conditions in the same manner as if such termination had not occurred; provided that the portion of each such equity awards that is earned will be prorated based on the portion of the performance period that elapsed through the date of termination unless such termination occurred in connection with a change in control; and (5) healthcare continuation premiums for specified periods. The multiples to be used to determine the cash payment described above are two times for Mr. Grimes and one and a half times for Messrs. Garrison and Fear and Ms. Maggio if the termination does not occur in connection with or within two years after a change in control. If the termination occurs in connection with or within two years after a change in control, the multiples will be three times for Mr. Grimes and two times for Messrs. Garrison and Fear and Ms. Maggio.

Each retention agreement also provides that upon a change in control, the achievement of the performance-based vesting conditions of any outstanding equity awards granted on or after the date the retention agreements were entered into that remain subject to such vesting conditions will be measured based on performance through the day prior to the date of the change in control using performance metrics that have been prorated, to the extent applicable, to reflect the shortened performance period. Vesting conditions for these awards that are based on continued employment will continue to apply unless accelerated due to a termination of employment or otherwise. Furthermore, each retention agreement also provides that upon a termination as a result of death or disability, the executive’s outstanding unvested equity awards will generally be treated in the same manner as they would in the event of a termination by us without cause or termination by such executive for good reason.

The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the copies of the retention agreements, which are filed with this report as Exhibits 10.3 through 10.6 and are incorporated herein by reference.
