EXPLANATORY NOTE

This report combines the annual reports on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20192021 of Kite Realty Group Trust, Kite Realty Group, L.P. and its subsidiaries. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to “Kite Realty Group Trust” or the “Parent Company” mean Kite Realty Group Trust, and references to the “Operating Partnership” mean Kite Realty Group, L.P. and its consolidated subsidiaries. The terms “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership collectively, and those entities owned or controlled by the Parent Company and/or the Operating Partnership.

The Operating Partnership is engaged in the ownership, operation, acquisition, development and redevelopment of high-quality, neighborhoodopen-air shopping centers and community shopping centersmixed-use assets in select markets in the United States.States, and the Parent Company conducts substantially all of its activities through the Operating Partnership and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The Parent Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and as of December 31, 20192021 owned approximately 97.5%98.9% of the common partnership interests in the Operating Partnership (“General Partner Units”). The remaining 2.5%1.1% of the common partnership interests (“Limited Partner Units” and, together with the General Partner Units, the “Common Units”) are owned by the limited partners.

We believe combining the annual reports on Form 10-K of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership into this single report benefits investors by:
enhancing investors’ understanding of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business;
eliminating duplicative disclosure and providing a more streamlined and readable presentation of information becauseas a substantial portion of the Company’s disclosure applies to both the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership; and
creating time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.

We believe it is important to understand the few differences between the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership in the context of how we operate as an interrelated consolidated company. The Parent Company has no material assets or liabilities other than its investment in the Operating Partnership. The Parent Company issues public equity from time to time but does not have any indebtedness as all debt is incurred by the Operating Partnership. In addition, the Parent Company currently does not nor does it intend to guarantee any debt of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership has numerous wholly-ownedwholly owned subsidiaries, and it also owns interests in certain joint ventures. These subsidiaries and joint ventures own and operate retail shopping centers and other real estate assets. The Operating Partnership is structured as a partnership with no publicly-tradedpublicly traded equity. Except for net proceeds from equity issuances by the Parent Company, which are contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for General Partner Units, the Operating Partnership generates the capital required by the business through its operations, its incurrence of indebtedness and the issuance of Limited Partner Units to third parties.

Shareholders’ equity and partners’ capital are the main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of the Parent Company and those of the Operating Partnership. In order to highlight this and other differences between the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, there are separate sections in this report, as applicable, that separately discuss the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, including separate financial statements and separate Exhibit 31 and 32 certifications. In the sections that combine disclosure of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, this report refers to actions or holdings as being actions or holdings of the collective Company.

PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Unless the context suggests otherwise, references to “we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company” refer to Kite Realty Group Trust and our business and operations conducted through our directly or indirectly owned subsidiaries, including Kite Realty Group, L.P., our operating partnership (the “Operating Partnership”).
Overview
Kite Realty Group Trust is a publicly-heldpublicly held real estate investment trust which, through its majority-owned subsidiary, Kite Realty Group, L.P., owns interests in various operating subsidiaries and joint ventures engaged in the ownership, and operation, acquisition, development and redevelopment of high-quality, neighborhoodopen-air shopping centers and community shopping centersmixed-use assets in select markets in the United States. We derive revenues primarily from activities associated with the collection of contractual rents and reimbursement payments from tenants at our properties. OurTherefore, our operating results therefore depend materially on, among other things, the ability of our tenants to make required lease payments, the health and resilience of the United StatesU.S. retail sector, interest rate volatility, job growth and real estate market and overall economic conditions.

As of December 31, 2019,2021, we owned interests in 90180 operating and redevelopmentretail properties totaling approximately 17.429.0 million square feet and one office property with 0.3 million square feet. Of the 180 operating retail properties, 11 contain an office component. We also owned oneeight development projectprojects under construction as of this date. Our retail operating portfolio was 96.1%93.4% leased to a diversified retail tenant base, with no single retail tenant accounting for more than 2.5% of our total annualized base rent.rent (“ABR”). In the aggregate, our largest 25 tenants accounted for 32.1%29.6% of our annualized base rent.ABR. See Item 2, “Properties” for a list of our top 25 tenants by annualized base rent.  ABR.

On October 22, 2021, we completed a Merger (defined below) with RPAI in which RPAI merged with and into our wholly owned subsidiary in a stock-for-stock exchange with a transaction value of approximately $4.7 billion, including the assumption of approximately $1.8 billion of debt. See Note 3 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional details.
Significant 20192021 Activities
Merger with RPAI
On October 22, 2021, we completed the merger with RPAI in accordance with the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated July 18, 2021 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, its wholly owned subsidiary KRG Oak, LLC (“Merger Sub”) and RPAI, pursuant to which RPAI merged with and into Merger Sub (the “Merger”). Immediately following the closing of the Merger, Merger Sub merged with and into the Operating Partnership so that all of the assets and liabilities of the Company continue to be held at or below the Operating Partnership level. The transaction value was approximately $4.7 billion, including the assumption of approximately $1.8 billion of debt. See Note 3 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional details. We acquired 100 operating retail properties and five active development projects through the Merger along with multiple parcels of entitled land for future value creation.
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, each outstanding share of RPAI common stock converted into the right to receive 0.623 common shares of the Company plus cash in lieu of fractional Company shares. The aggregate value of the Merger consideration paid or payable to former holders of RPAI common stock was approximately $2.8 billion, excluding the value of RPAI restricted stock units that vested at closing and certain restricted share awards assumed by the Company at closing. In connection with the Merger, the Operating Partnership issued an equivalent amount of General Partner Units to the Parent Company.
The Merger provided numerous positive benefits to the Company, including:
Enhancing the portfolio quality by bolstering our presence in existing strategic markets across the Sunbelt along with providing entry into other strategic markets such as Washington, D.C. and Seattle;
Providing multiple value creation opportunities including lease-up and completion of development and redevelopment projects;
Improving the strength of our balance sheet by reducing leverage and increasing liquidity to over $1.0 billion; and
4


Further strengthening leasing relationships to provide more optionality to tenants due to the expanded size of the portfolio.
Operating Activities
We continued to drive strong operating results from our portfolio as follows:  
RealizedThe Company realized a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $0.5$80.8 million which included $37.7for the year ended December 31, 2021;
The Company generated Funds From Operations, as defined by NAREIT, of $88.4 million and Funds From Operations, as adjusted for merger and acquisition costs, of impairment charges;$171.2 million;
Generated Funds From Operations, as defined by NAREIT, of $131.4 million and Funds From Operations, as adjusted for a loss on debt extinguishment, of $143.0 million.
Same Property Net Operating Income ("(“Same Property NOI"NOI”) increased, which excludes the properties acquired in the Merger with RPAI, grew by 2.2%6.1% in 20192021 compared to 20182020 primarily due to increasesimproved collection activity resulting in rental rates and an improved tenant mix drivena significant reduction in bad debt expense in 2021 compared to 2020, which was more heavily impacted by strong anchor and shop leasing activity;the COVID-19 pandemic;
WeIn 2021, we executed new and renewal leases on 302363 individual spaces for approximately 2.02.6 million square feet of retail space, achieving a blended cash rentleasing spread of 9.2% and blended GAAP rent spread of 14.5%10.7% for comparable leases;leases. Total executed leases includes leasing activity for the legacy RPAI portfolio from October 22, 2021 through December 31, 2021; and
We opened 107 new tenant spaces totaling 657,000 square feet;
Our operating portfolio annual base rent ("ABR")ABR per square foot as of December 31, 20192021 was $17.83,$19.36, an increase of $0.99 or 5.9%$0.94 (or 5.1%) from the end of the prior year;year.
Total retail leased percentageFinancing and Capital Activities
In connection with the Merger, we assumed an $850.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”), of which $55.0 million was 96.1%drawn as of December 31, 2019; and
Small shop leased percentage was 92.5% as of December 31, 2019, which was an all-time Company high.

Disposition Activities
Strengthening our balance sheet continues to be one of our top priorities. In February 2019, we announced a plan, Project Focus, to market and sell up to $500 million in non-core assets as part of a program designed to improve the Company’s portfolio quality, reduce its leverage, and focus operations on markets where we believe the Company can gain scale and generate attractive risk-adjusted returns ("Project Focus"). This program was completed in October 2019.
Transaction highlights of Project Focus were the following:


Sold 23 non-core assets for a combined $544 million at a blended capitalization rate of approximately 8%.
Lowered leverage such that our ratio of net debt to EBITDA is 5.9x as of December 31, 2019.
Strengthened our liquidity profile as we have no debt maturing through 2021 and no balance on our unsecured revolving credit facility. The Company's existing unsecured revolving credit facility can pay all debt maturities through 2025.
Increased ABR to $17.83 as the retail assets sold had an ABR of $14.66, which was significantly lower than our current operating portfolio.

2021;
Financing and Capital Raising Activities.
 In 2019, we were able to further improve our strong balance sheet, financial flexibility and liquidity to fund future growth.  We ended the year with approximately $614.8 million$1.0 billion of combined cash, short-term deposits and borrowing capacity on our Revolving Facility;
In addition, we assumed (i) a $200.0 million unsecured term loan due 2023, (ii) a $120.0 million unsecured term loan due 2024, (iii) a $150.0 million unsecured term loan due 2026, (iv) private placement notes totaling $450.0 million maturing at various dates from June 2024 through June 2029, (v) $350.0 million of public notes due 2025, (vi) $400.0 million of public notes due 2030; and (vii) $90.1 million of mortgages payable. Subsequent to the Merger, the Company’s existing revolving credit facility.facility was terminated;

We issued $175.0 million aggregate principal amount of 0.75% exchangeable senior notes maturing in April 2027 (the “Exchangeable Notes”) to proactively fund 2022 debt maturities;
We substantially completed the construction of Eddy Street Commons – Phase II and Glendale Town Center; and
We declared quarterly cash dividends totaling $0.68 per share during 2021.
We have no$153.5 million of debt principal scheduled to mature through December 31, 2021, and2022, a debt service coverage ratio of 3.6x3.9x and approximately $93.2 million in cash on hand as of December 31, 2019.2021. We have been assignedpreviously received investment grade corporate credit ratings from two nationally recognized credit rating agencies. Theseagencies and these ratings were unchanged during 2019.2021. We were assigned an investment grade corporate credit rating from a third nationally recognized rating agency in October 2021.
Impacts on Business from COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic, and the public health measures that have been undertaken in response, have had a significant adverse impact on many of our tenants and on our business. The effects of COVID-19, including related government restrictions, mandatory quarantines, “shelter in place” orders, border closures, “social distancing” practices, masking requirements and other travel and gathering restrictions and practices, have caused many of our tenants to close stores, reduce hours or significantly limit service, each of which may continue to create headwinds for our tenants. Since we cannot estimate when the containment measures will roll back, end, or be reinstated, we cannot estimate the ultimate operational and financial impact of COVID-19 on our business.
In 2020, the effects of COVID-19 triggered a global and domestic economic recession and many of our tenants faced financial distress. As the domestic economy continued to recover in 2021, retailers continued to improve their operations to
5


account for the pandemic, including using open-air centers as convenient shopping destinations and last-mile fulfillment through the use of in-store pickup, curbside pickup, and shipping from stores. Historically, economic indicators such as GDP growth, consumer confidence and employment have been correlated with demand for certain of our tenants’ products and services. If an economic recession returns, it could increase the number of our tenants that are unable to meet their lease obligations to us and could limit the demand for our space from new tenants.
We expect the significance of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the extent of its effects on our business, financial performance and condition, operating results and cash flows and the economic slowdown, to be dictated by, among other things, the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, including possible resurgences and mutations, the success of efforts to contain it, the efficacy of vaccines, including against variants of COVID-19, public adoption rates of vaccines and the impact of other actions taken in response to the pandemic. These uncertainties make it difficult to predict operating results for our business; therefore, there can be no assurances that we will not experience further declines in revenues, net income, FFO or other operating metrics, which could be material.
Business Objectives and Strategies
Our primary business objectives are to increase the cash flow and value of our properties, achieve sustainable long-term growth and maximize shareholder value primarily through the ownership, and operation, acquisition, development and redevelopment of high-quality, neighborhoodopen-air shopping centers and community shopping centers.mixed-used assets. We invest in properties with well-located real estate and strong demographics, and we use our leasing and management strategies to improve the long-term valuesvalue and economic returns of our properties. We believe that certain of our properties represent attractive opportunities for profitable redevelopment, renovation, densification, and expansion.
We seek to implement our business objectives through the following strategies, each of which is more completely described in the sections that follow:
Operating Strategy: Maximizing the internal growth in revenue from our operating properties by leasing and re-leasing to a strong and diverse group of retail tenants at increasing rental rates, when possible, and redeveloping or renovating certain properties to make them more attractive to existing and prospective tenants and consumers;
Financing and Capital Preservation Strategy: Maintaining a strong balance sheet with flexibility to fund our operating and investment activities. Funding sources include the public equity and debt markets, an existing Revolving Facility with $793.5 million of borrowing capacity as of December 31, 2021, secured debt, internally generated funds, proceeds from selling land and properties that no longer fit our strategy, and potential strategic joint ventures; and
: Maximizing the internal growth in revenue from our operating properties by leasing and re-leasing to a strong and diverse group of retail tenants at increasing rental rates, when possible, and redeveloping or renovating certain properties to make them more attractive to existing and prospective tenants and consumers;
Financing and Capital Preservation Strategy: Maintaining a strong balance sheet with flexibility to fund our operating and investment activities.  Funding sources include the public equity and debt markets, an existing revolving credit facility with zero outstanding, new secured debt, internally generated funds, proceeds from selling land and properties that no longer fit our strategy, and potential strategic joint ventures; and
Growth Strategy: Prudently using available cash flow, targeted asset recycling, equity, and debt capital to selectively acquire additional retail properties and redevelop or renovate our existing properties where we believe that investment returns would meet or exceed internal benchmarks.

Operating Strategy. Our primary operating strategy is to maximize our rental rates, our returns on invested capital, and occupancy levels by attracting and retaining a strong and diverse tenant base. Most of our properties are located in regional and neighborhood trade areas with attractive demographics, which allows us to maximize returns on invested capital, occupancy and rental rates. We seek to implement our operating strategy by, among other things:
increasing rental rates upon the renewal of expiring leases or re-leasing space to new tenants while minimizing vacancy to the extent possible;
maximizing the occupancy of our operating portfolio;
minimizing tenant turnover;
maintaining leasing and property management strategies that maximize rent growth and cost recovery;
maintaining a diverse tenant mix that limits our exposure to the financial condition of any one tenant or category of retail tenants;


maintaining and improving the physical appearance, condition, layout and design of our properties and other improvements located on our properties to enhance our ability to attract customers;
implementing offensive and defensive strategies against e-commerce competition;
6


actively managing properties to minimize overhead and operating costs;
maintaining strong tenant and retailer relationships in order to avoid rent interruptions and reduce marketing, leasing and tenant improvement costs that result from re-leasing space to new tenants; and
taking advantage of under-utilized land or existing square footage, reconfiguring properties for more profitable use, and adding ancillary income sources to existing facilities.

We successfully executed our operating strategy in 20192021 in a number of ways, includingas best evidenced by our strong growth in Same Property NOI growthNOI. Additionally, our leasing process continues to perform at a high level as evidenced by the execution of 2.2%, a blended363 new and renewal cash leasingleases for approximately 2.6 million square feet, which includes leases for the legacy RPAI portfolio subsequent to the closing date of the Merger. Our leased to occupied spread represents approximately $33.0 million of 9.2%net operating income (“NOI”), an increasethe majority of which is expected to come online in our2022. Included within this amount is $15.0 million of NOI from 27 leases for approximately 767,000 square feet of vacant anchor leased percentage to 97.8% as of year-end, and an increase in our small shop leased percentage to 92.5% as of year-end.spaces. We have placed significant emphasis on maintaining a strong and diverse retail tenant mix, which has resulted in no tenant accounting for more than 2.5% of our annualized base rent.ABR. See Item 2, “Properties” for a list of our top tenants by gross leasable area ("GLA"(“GLA”) and annualized base rent.
ABR.
Financing and Capital Preservation Strategy. We finance our acquisition, development, and redevelopment activities seeking to use the most advantageous sources of capital available to us at the time. These sources may include the reinvestment of cash flows generated by operations, the sale of common or preferred shares through public offerings or private placements, the reinvestment of net proceeds from the disposition of assets, the incurrence of additional indebtedness through secured or unsecured borrowings, and entering into real estate joint ventures.
Our primary financing and capital preservation strategy is to maintain a strong balance sheet and enhance our flexibility to fund operating and investment activities in the most cost-effective way. We consider a number of factors when evaluating the amount and type of additional indebtedness we may elect to incur. Among these factors are the construction costs or purchase pricesprice of properties to be developed or acquired, the estimated market value of our properties and the Company as a whole upon consummation of the financing, and the ability to generate durable cash flow to cover expected debt service.
Strengthening ourMaintaining a strong balance sheet continues to be one of our top priorities. In February 2019, the Company announced a plan to market and sell up to $500 million in non-core assets as part of a program designed to improve the Company’s portfolio quality, reduce its leverage, and focus operations on markets where the Company believes it can gain scale and generate attractive risk-adjusted returns. The majority of the net proceeds were used to further strengthen our balance sheet.

We maintain an investment grade credit rating that we expect will continue to enable us to opportunistically access the public unsecured bond market and will allow us to lower our cost of capital and provide greater flexibility in managing the acquisition and disposition of assets in our operating portfolio.

We intend to continue implementing our financing and capital strategies in a number of ways, which may include one or more of the following actions:
prudently managing our balance sheet, including maintaining sufficient availability under our unsecured revolving credit facilityRevolving Facility so that we have additional capacity to fund our development and redevelopment projects and pay down maturing debt if refinancing that debt is not desired or practical;
extending the scheduled maturity dates of and/or refinancing our near-term mortgage, construction and other indebtedness;
expanding our unencumbered asset pool;
raising additional capital through the issuance of common shares, preferred shares or other securities;
managing our exposure to interest rate increases on our variable-rate debt through the selective use of fixed rate hedging transactions;
issuing unsecured bonds in the public markets, and securing property-specific long-term non-recourse financing; and
entering into joint venture arrangements in order to access less expensive capital and mitigate risk.

Growth Strategy. Our growth strategy includes the selective deployment of financial resources to projects that are expected to generate investment returns that meet or exceed our internal benchmarks. We implement our growth strategy in a number of ways, including:
continually evaluating our operating properties for redevelopment and renovation opportunities that we believe will make them more attractive for leasing to new tenants, right-sizing of anchor spaces while increasing rental rates, and re-leasing spaces to existing tenants at increased rental rates;
completion of our eight active development and redevelopment projects;
evaluation of the entitled land holdings to determine the optimal real estate use and capital allocation decisions;
disposing of selected assets that no longer meet our long-term investment criteria and recycling the net proceeds into properties that provide attractive returns and rent growth potential in targeted markets or using the proceeds to repay debt, thereby reducing our leverage; and
selectively pursuing the acquisition of retail operating properties, portfolios and companies in markets with strong demographics.

In evaluating opportunities for potential acquisition, development, redevelopment and disposition, we consider a number of factors, including:
the expected returns and related risks associated with the investments relative to our weighted cost of capital to make such investments;
the current and projected cash flow and market value of the property and the potential to increase cash flow and market value if the property were to be successfully re-leased or redeveloped;
the price being offered for the property, the current and projected operating performance of the property, the tax consequences of the transaction, and other related factors;
opportunities for strengthening the tenant mix at our properties through the placement of anchor tenants such as grocers, value retailers, grocers, soft goodshardware stores, theaters, or sporting goods retailers, as well as further enhancing a diverse tenant mix that includes restaurants, specialty shops, serviceand other essential retailers such as banks, dry cleaners and hair salons, and shoe and clothing retailers, some of whichthat provide staple goods to the community and offer a high level of convenience;
the geographic location and configuration of the property, including ease of access, availability of parking, visibility, and the demographics of the surrounding area; and
the level of success of existing properties in the same or nearby markets.

Competition
We successfully executed our growth strategy in 2021 with the completion of our transformative Merger with RPAI. The transaction created a top five shopping center real estate investment trust (“REIT”) based upon enterprise value, enhanced our portfolio quality with entry into strategic gateway markets and bolstered our presence in existing markets, lowered our cost of capital, enhanced our near-term organic growth through lease-up and select development opportunities, and strengthened our balance sheet with limited near-term debt maturities.
Competition
The United StatesU.S. commercial real estate market continues to be highly competitive. We face competition from other REITs, including other retail REITs, and other owner-operators engaged in the ownership, leasing, acquisition, and development of shopping centers as well as from numerous local, regional and national real estate developers and owners in each of our markets. Some of these competitors may have greater capital resources than we do, although we do not believe that any single competitor or group of competitors is dominant in any of the markets in which we own properties.
We face significant competition in our efforts to lease available space to prospective tenants at our operating, development and redevelopment properties. The nature of the competition for tenants varies based on the characteristics of each local market in which we own properties. We believe that the principal competitive factors in attracting tenants in our market areas are location, demographics, rental rates, the presence of anchor stores, competitor shopping centers in the same geographic area and the maintenance, appearance, access and traffic patterns of our properties. There can be no assurance in the future that we will be able to compete successfully with our competitors in our development, acquisition and leasing activities.

Government Regulation
We and our properties are subject to a variety of federal, state, and local environmental, health, safety and similar laws, including:
Americans with Disabilities Act.Act and Other Regulations. Our properties must comply with Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (the "ADA"“ADA”), to the extent that such properties are public accommodations as defined by the ADA. The ADA may require removal of


structural barriers to access by persons with disabilities in certain public areas of our properties where such removal is readily achievable. We believe our properties are in substantial compliance with the ADA and that we will not be required to make substantial capital expenditures to address the requirements of the ADA. However, noncompliance with the ADA could result in orders requiring us to spend substantial sums to cure violations, pay attorneys'attorneys’ fees, or pay other amounts. The obligation to make readily accessible accommodations is an ongoing one, and we will continue to assess our properties and make alterations as appropriate in this respect.

In addition, our properties are subject to fire and safety regulations, building codes and other land use regulations.
Affordable Care Act. We may be subject to excise taxes under the employer mandate provisions of the Affordable Care Act ("ACA"(the “ACA”) if we (i) do not offer health care coverage to substantially all of our full-time employees and their dependents or (ii) do not offer health care coverage that meets the ACA'sACA’s affordability and minimum value standards. The excise tax is based on the number of full-time employees. We do not anticipate being subject to a penalty under the ACA; however, even in the event that we are, any such penalty would be less than $0.3$1.0 million, as we had 133241 full-time employees as of December 31, 2019. 2021.
Environmental Regulations. Some properties in our portfolio contain, may have contained or are adjacent to or near other properties that have contained or currently contain underground storage tanks for petroleum products or other hazardous or toxic substances. These storage tanks may have released, or have the potential to release, such substances into the environment.
In addition, some of our properties have tenants which may use hazardous or toxic substances in the routine course of their businesses. In general, these tenants have covenanted in their leases with us to use these substances, if any, in compliance with all environmental laws and have agreed to indemnify us for any damages we may suffer as a result of their use of such substances. However, these lease provisions may not fully protect us in the event that a tenant becomes insolvent. Finally, certain of our properties have contained asbestos-containing building materials or ACBM,(“ACBM”), and other properties may have contained such materials based on the date of its construction. Environmental laws require that ACBM be properly managed and maintained, and fines and penalties may be imposed on building owners or operators for failure to comply with these requirements. The laws also may allow third parties to seek recovery from owners or operators for personal injury associated with exposure to asbestos fibers.

Neither existing environmental, health, safety and similar laws nor the costs of our compliance with these laws has had a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results operations, and management does not believe they will in the future. In addition, we have not incurred, and do not expect to incur, any material costs or liabilities due to environmental contamination at properties we currently own or have owned in the past. However, we cannot predict the impact of new or changed laws or regulations on properties we currently own or may acquire in the future.
With environmental sustainability becoming a national priority, we have continued to demonstrate our strong commitment to be a responsible corporate citizen through resource reduction and employee training that havehas resulted in reductions of energy consumption, waste and improved maintenance cycles.

InsuranceCOVID-19 Regulations. As discussed in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, during the COVID-19 pandemic, our properties and our tenants have been subject to public health regulations and control measures, including states of emergency, mandatory quarantines, “shelter in place” orders, border closures, restrictions on types of businesses that may continue to operate, “social distancing” guidelines and other travel and gathering restrictions and practices, that have significantly impacted our business. See page 13 of Item 1A. “Risk Factors” for further information.
Insurance
We carry comprehensive liability, fire, extended coverage, and rental loss insurance that covers all properties in our portfolio. We believe the policy specifications and insured limits are appropriate and adequate given the relative risk of loss, the cost of the coverage, geographic locations of our assets and industry practice. Certain risks such as loss from riots, war or acts of God, and, in some cases, flooding are not insurable or the cost to insure over these events is costs prohibitive; and therefore, we do not carry insurance for these losses. Some of our policies, such as those covering losses due to terrorism and floods, are
9


insured subject to limitations involving large deductibles or co-payments and policy limits that may not be sufficient to cover losses.

Employees
Human Capital
As of December 31, 2019,2021, we had 133241 full-time employees. The majority of these employees were based at our Indianapolis, Indiana headquarters.headquarters though we also maintain regional offices across the United States. We believe our employees are the most important part of our business. We are committed to providing a work environment that attracts, develops and retains high-performing individuals and that treats employees with dignity and respect.
Segment Reporting


Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
Our primary businesspolicies are designed to promote fairness, equal opportunities, and diversity within the Company. When attracting, developing and retaining talent, we seek individuals who hold varied experiences and viewpoints and embody our core values to create an inclusive and diverse culture and workplace that allows each employee to do their best work and drive our collective success. We believe that a diverse workforce possesses a broader array of perspectives that businesses need to remain competitive in today’s economy. We maintain employment policies that comply with federal, state and local labor laws and promote a culture of fairness and respect. These policies set forth our goal to provide equal employment opportunity without discrimination or harassment on the basis of age, gender (including identity or expression), marital status, civil partnership status, sexual orientation, disability, color, nationality, race or ethnic origin or religion or belief.
We previously established a diversity target of 20% female representation on our Board of Trustees and a goal of at least one committee to be chaired by a female, taking into consideration the experience and skill sets required of the Board of Trustees. As of the date of this filing, we are proud to have achieved these goals, with females comprising over 20% of our Board of Trustees and the chairing of our Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee by a female trustee. In addition, we annually conduct a respect in the workplace and diversity training to further enhance our cultural behaviors. As of December 31, 2021, approximately 47% of our workforce was female and minorities represented approximately 19% of our team.
Professional Development and Training
We believe a commitment to our employees’ learning and development through training, educational opportunities and mentorship is critical to our ability to continue to innovate. We focus on leadership development at every level of the ownershiporganization. We align employees’ goals with our overall strategic direction to create a clear link between individual efforts and operationthe long-term success of neighborhoodthe company and then provide effective feedback on their performance towards goals to ensure their growth. Through performance plans, talent recognition and individual development planning, along with reward packages, we advance our talent pool and create a sustainable and long-term enterprise. The Company provides reimbursement for those seeking to further their education through degree or certification programs.
Community Development
We seek to foster a corporate culture where our many stakeholders, including our employees, engage in the topic of community shopping centers.development and collaborate to extend resources towards the advancement of this principle. We do not distinguish or groupare proud to be an active citizen of the communities in which we operate. In furtherance of this commitment, we partner with and support local charitable organizations that we believe are contributing to the growth and development of the community. Our Kite Cares initiative contributes to the welfare of local youth and those in need. The program’s efforts are community-focused and have included:
charitable grants to programs benefiting our operations oncommunities;
fundraising to support displaced workers;
contributions to healthcare workers and first responders; and
construction of a geographical basis, or any other basis, when measuring performance. Accordingly,youth community center.

In addition in recent years, our employees have donated and coordinated substantial fundraising and have spent many hours volunteering to support a variety of charities with which we have one operating segment, which also serves aspartner.
Team Wellness
The health, safety and well-being of our reportable segment for disclosure purposesemployees are always top priorities, and we believe our actions in response to COVID-19 were appropriate and in accordance with accountingstate and local health and safety laws. Among other things, we adopted remote working and flexible scheduling arrangements and implemented additional health and safety measures for employees working in our offices. 
Environmental, Social and Governance Matters
The Company strives to be a responsible corporate citizen, and we recognize the importance that environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) initiatives play in our ability to generate long-term, sustainable returns. To assist us in setting and meeting ESG goals, we formed a cross-functional task force (“ESG Task Force”) in 2020 to review ESG issues that are important to investors and regularly report to the Board of Trustees on ESG efforts. The ESG Task Force is led by our Chief Executive Officer and includes members from our asset management, employee experience, investor relations, marketing, internal audit, and legal departments.
In 2020, the ESG Task Force issued our ESG Policy and Corporate Citizenship Report, which is published on our website. In 2021, the Company has undertaken multiple projects to make its operations more efficient and to reduce energy and water consumption, including installing LED lighting at 15 properties, receiving IREM certifications for 29 properties, increasing the number of electric-vehicle charging stations to 100 stations across eight properties, and implementing smart meters and other initiatives aimed at water conservation, recycling and waste diversion at our properties. Recent business initiatives encourage tenants to adopt green leases, also known as “high-performance” or “energy-aligned” leases, to equitably align the costs and benefits of energy and water efficiency investments for building owners and tenants, based on principles generally acceptedand best practices from the Green Lease Leaders Reference Guide by the Institute for Market Transformation and the U.S. Department of Energy. The Company also partnered with One Tree Planted, a non-profit organization committed to reforestation, to plant new trees in 2020 and continued this program in 2021. We continue to evaluate potential actions that might reduce our carbon footprint or otherwise mitigate our environmental impact.
As described above, we are highly committed to our employees, and our policies are designed to promote fairness, equal opportunities, diversity, well-being and professional development within the United States ("GAAP").  
Company.Our corporate governance structure, led by our Board of Trustees, closely aligns our interests with those of our shareholders, as further described in our annual Proxy Statement.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements made in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and presented elsewhere by our management from time to time. These factors, among others, may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results and cash

flows, including our ability to make distributions to our shareholders, and you should carefully consider them. It is not possible to predict or identify all such factors. You should not consider this list to be a complete statement of all potential risks or uncertainties. Past performance should not be considered an indication of future performance.
We have separated the risks into three categories:
(i) risks related to our operations;
(ii) risks related to our organization and structure; and
(iii) risks related to tax matters.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR OPERATIONS
We may be unable to integrate our business with RPAI’s business successfully or realize the anticipated synergies and related benefits of the Merger or do so within the anticipated time frame. We may also incur substantial expenses related to the integration process.
The Merger effected the combination of two companies that previously operated as independent public companies. We have, and will continue to, devote significant management attention and resources to integrating the business practices and operations of RPAI with ours. Potential difficulties we may encounter in the integration process include the following:
the inability to combine our and RPAI’s businesses successfully in a manner that permits
Ongoing challenging conditionsus to achieve the cost savings or other anticipated strategic and financial benefits anticipated to result from the Merger, which would result in some anticipated benefits of the Merger not being realized in the United Statestime frame currently anticipated or at all;
the inability to successfully realize the anticipated value from the RPAI assets;
the complexities associated with integrating personnel from the two companies and the failure of the combined company to retain key employees of either of the two companies;
the additional complexities of combining two companies with different histories, cultures, processes, strategies, markets and tenant bases;
the complexities associated with applying our standards, controls, policies and procedures over a significantly larger base of assets;
potential unknown liabilities and unforeseen increased expenses, delays or regulatory conditions associated with the Merger; and
performance shortfalls as a result of the diversion of management’s attention caused by completing the Merger and integrating the companies’ operations.
We may also incur substantial expenses in connection with integrating the business, operations, networks, systems, technologies, policies and procedures of the two companies. Although we have assumed that a certain level of transaction and integration expenses would be incurred, there are a number of factors beyond our control that could affect the total amount or timing of the integration expenses.
For all these reasons, it is possible that the integration process could result in the distraction of our management, the disruption of our ongoing business or inconsistencies in our operations, services, standards, controls, policies and procedures, and that the integration expenses associated with the Merger could, particularly in the near term, exceed the savings that we expect to achieve from the anticipated synergies, any of which could adversely affect our ability to maintain relationships with tenants, customers, vendors and employees or to achieve the anticipated benefits of the Merger, or could otherwise adversely affect our business and financial results.
The COVID-19 pandemic and measures intended to prevent its spread has caused, and other future public health crises could cause, severe disruptions in the U.S., regional and global economies.
The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and a future outbreak of a highly infectious or contagious disease or other public health crisis could similarly have, significant repercussions across local, regional, national and global economies, including the retail sector within the U.S., and has contributed to significant volatility and negative pressure in the financial markets. Since early 2020, many U.S. states and cities, including where we own properties and/or have development sites, have at times imposed measures intended to control the spread of COVID-19, such as instituting “shelter in place” rules, limitations on public gatherings and restrictions on certain business operations.
12


The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted our business and has had a significant adverse effect, and could continue to significantly adversely impact and disrupt, our business, financial performance and condition, operating results and cash flows. Additional factors that have negatively impacted, and may negatively impact in the future, our ability to operate successfully as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, include, among others:
the inability of our tenants to meet their lease obligations to us in full, or at all, due to (i) complete or partial closures of, or a decrease in customer traffic at, one or more of our properties resulting from government or tenant actions related to the pandemic; or (ii) local, regional or national economic conditions caused by the pandemic;
liquidity issues resulting from (i) reduced cash flow from operations due to the pandemic, which could impact our future ability to pay dividends to our shareholders at past levels, (ii) the impact that lower operating results could have on our ability to meet the financial covenants in our debt agreements, and (iii) difficulty in accessing debt and equity capital on attractive terms or at all;
an acceleration of changes in consumer behavior in favor of e-commerce;
business continuity disruptions and a deterioration in our or our tenants’ ability to operate in affected areas or delays in the supply of products or services to us or our tenants from vendors that are needed to operate efficiently, causing costs to rise sharply and inventory to fall;
the potential negative impact on the health of our employees, including our executive management team and key employees, or the employees of our tenants; and
the scaling back or delay of a significant amount of planned capital expenditures, including planned redevelopment projects, which could adversely affect the value of our properties.
The extent to which COVID-19 ultimately impacts our business and that of our tenants will depend, in part, on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic, including any resurgences and variants of COVID-19, and the actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, all of which could vary by geographic region.
Our business, financial condition, performance, and value are subject to risks and conditions associated with real estate assets and the real estate industry.
Our primary business is the ownership, operation, acquisition development and redevelopment of high-quality, open-air shopping centers and mixed-use assets. Our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, per share trading price of our common shares, ability to satisfy debt service obligations, and ability to make distributions to shareholders are subject to, and could be materially and adversely affected by, risks associated with acquiring, owning and operating such real estate assets, including events and conditions that are beyond our control such as periods of economic slowdown or recession, declines in the financial condition of our tenants, rising interest rates, difficulty in leasing vacant space or renewing existing tenants, or decline in value of our assets, or the public perception that any of these events may occur. Additionally, complying with the REIT requirements may cause us to forgo and/or liquidate otherwise attractive investments. These actions could have the effect of reducing our income and amount available for distribution to shareholders. Thus, compliance with the REIT requirements may hinder our ability to make or, in certain cases, maintain ownership of, certain attractive investments.
Ongoing challenges facing our retail tenants and non-owned anchor tenants, including bankruptcies, financial instability and consolidations, may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Certain sectors of the United States economy have experienced and could continue to experience sustained weakness.  Over the past several years, this weakness has resulted in the bankruptcy or weakened financial condition of a number of retailers, increased store closures, and reduced demand and rental rates for certain retail space. For example, Earth Fare and Pier 1 have filed for bankruptcy since the end of 2019, and several other retailers, including Bed Bath & Beyond, The Gap, and Walgreens, recently announced multiple store closings. These events, or other similar events with other retailers, could affect the overall economy as well as specific leases at our properties, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. General economic factors that are beyond our control, including, but not limited to, economic recessions, decreases in consumer confidence and spending, decreases in business confidence and business spending, reductions in consumer credit availability, increasing consumer debt levels, rising energy costs, higher tax rates or other changes in taxation, rising interest rates, business layoffs, downsizing and industry slowdowns, unemployment and/or rising or falling inflation, could have a negative impact on the business of our retail tenants.  In turn, this could have a material adverse effect on our business because current or prospective tenants may, among other things, (i) have difficulty paying their rent obligations as they struggle to sell goods and


services to consumers, (ii) be unwilling to enter into or renew leases with us on favorable terms or at all, (iii) seek to terminate their existing leases with us or request rent concessions on such leases, or (iv) be forced to curtail operations or declare bankruptcy.  We are also susceptible to other developments and conditions that could have a material adverse effect on our business. These developments and conditions include relocations of businesses, changing demographics (including the number of households and average household income surrounding our properties), increasing consumer shopping via e-commerce, other changes in retailers' and consumers' preferences and behaviors, infrastructure quality, federal, state, and local budgetary constraints and priorities, increases in real estate and other taxes, increased government regulation and the related compliance cost, decreasing valuations of real estate, and other factors. 
Further, we continually monitor events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying value of our real estate assets may not be recoverable, and in the past, we have recorded impairment charges related to some properties.  Challenging market conditions could require us to recognize impairment charges with respect to one or more of our properties, or a loss on the disposition of one or more of our properties.  

The expansion of e-commerce may impact our tenants and our business.

The prominence of e-commerce continues to increase and its growth is likely to continue or accelerate in the future. Continued expansion of e-commerce could result in an adverse impact on some of our tenants and affect decisions made by current and prospective tenants in leasing space or operating their businesses, including reduction of the size or number of their retail locations in the future. We cannot predict with certainty how the growth in e-commerce will impact the demand for space at our properties or the revenue generated at our properties in the future. Although we continue to aggressively respond to these trends, including by entering into or renewing leases with tenants whose businesses are either more resistant to or are synergistic with, e-commerce (such as services, restaurant, grocery, specialty, experiential retailers and value retailers that have benefitted from omni-channel consumer trends), the risks associated with e-commerce could have a material adverse effect on the business outlook and financial results of our present and future tenants, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our cash flow and results of operations.

If our tenants are unable to secure financing necessary to continue to operate and grow their businesses and pay us rent, we could be materially and adversely affected.
Many of our tenants rely on external sources of financing to operate and grow their businesses.  Future economic downturns and disruptions in credit markets may adversely affect our tenants’ ability to obtain debt financing at favorable rates or at all.  If our tenants are unable to secure financing necessary to operate or expand their businesses, they may be unable to meet their rent obligations to us or enter into new leases with us or be forced to declare bankruptcy and reject our leases with them, which could materially and adversely affect our cash flow and results of operations. 

Our business is significantly influenced by demand for retail space generally, a decrease in which may have a greater adverse effect on our business than if we owned a more diversified real estate portfolio.
Because our portfolio of properties consists primarily of community and neighborhood shopping centers, a decrease in the demand for retail space, due to the economic factors discussed above or otherwise, may have a greater adverse effect on our business and financial condition than if we owned a more diversified real estate property portfolio. The market for retail space has been, and could be in the future, adversely affected by weakness in the national, regional and local economies, the adverse financial condition of certain large retailing companies, the ongoing consolidation and contraction in the retail sector, the excess amount of retail space in a number of markets and increasing e-commerce and the perception such retail competition has on the value of shopping center assets. To the extent that any of these conditions occur, they could negatively affect market rents for retail space, which in turn could materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, common share trading price, and ability to satisfy our debt service obligations and to pay distributions to our shareholders. 
The closure of any stores by any non-owned anchor tenant or the bankruptcy of a major tenant with leases in multiple locations, because of a deterioration of its financial condition or otherwise, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
We derive the majority of our revenue from retail tenants who lease space from us at our properties. Therefore,properties, and our ability to generate cash from operations is dependent on the rents that we are able to charge and collect from our tenants. Our leases generally do not contain provisions designed to ensurecollect.Over the creditworthinesspast several years, sustained weakness in certain sectors of the U.S. economy has resulted in the bankruptcy or weakened financial condition of a number of retailers, including some of our tenants.

Additionally, in the event our tenants are involved in mergers or acquisitions with or by third parties or undertake other restructurings, such tenants may choose to consolidate, downsize or relocate their operations, resulting in terminating or not renewing their leases with us or vacating the leased premises. The occurrence of any of the situations described above,at attractive rents, particularly if it involves a substantial tenant or a non-owned anchor with ground leases in multiple locations, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Tenant bankruptcies may increase during periods of difficult economic conditions. We cannotcould present difficulties for our business to collect rent or make any assurances thatclaims against a tenant filing for bankruptcy protection will continue to pay its rent obligations. in bankruptcy.
A bankruptcy filing by one of our tenants or a lease guarantor would legally prohibit us from collecting pre-bankruptcy debts or unpaid rent from that tenant or the lease guarantor, unless we receive an order from the bankruptcy court permitting us to do so. Such bankruptcies could delay, reduce, or ultimately preclude collection of amounts owed to us.us, including both past and future rent. A tenant in bankruptcy may attempt to renegotiate the lease or request significant rent concessions. If a lease is assumed by thea tenant, in bankruptcy, all pre-bankruptcy balances due under the lease must be paid to us in full. However, if a lease is rejected by a tenant in bankruptcy, we would have only a general unsecured claim for damages, including pre-bankruptcy balances.damages. Any unsecured claim we hold may be paid only to the extent that funds are available and only in the same percentage as is paid to all other holders of unsecured claims. There are restrictions under bankruptcy laws that limit the amount of the claim we can make for future rent under a lease if the lease is rejected. As a result, it is likely that we would recover substantially less than the full value of any unsecured claims we hold from a tenant in bankruptcy, which would result in a reduction in our cash flow and in the amount of cash available for distribution to our shareholders and could have a material adverse effect on us.

Our ability to make distributions to our shareholders depends on our ability to generate substantial revenues from our properties. Periods of economic slowdown or recession, rising interest rates or declining demand for real estate, or the public perception that any of these events may occur, could result in a general decline in rents or an increased incidence of defaults under existing leases. Such events would materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, per share trading price of our common shares, ability to satisfy debt service obligations,present and ability to make distributions to shareholders. future tenants, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on us.

We face significant competition, which may impedeimpact our ability to renew leases or re-lease space as leases expire or require us to undertake unexpectedrental rates, leasing terms and capital improvements.
We compete for tenants with numerous developers, owners and operators of retail shopping centers, regional malls, and outlet malls, for tenants. These competitors includeincluding institutional investors, other REITs, including other retail REITs, and other owner-operators of community and neighborhood shopping centers, some of which own or may in the future own properties similar to ours in the same markets but which have greater capital resources.owner-operators. As of December 31, 2019,2021, leases representing 7.2%9.1% of our total annualized base rentretail ABR were scheduled to expire in 2020.  If our2022. Our competitors may have greater capital resources or be willing to offer space atlower rental rates below current market rates, or below the rental rates we currently charge ourmore favorable terms for tenants, we may be unable to lease on satisfactory terms and we may be pressured to reduce our rental rates below those we currently charge in order to retain tenants when our leases with them expire. We also may be required to offer moresuch as substantial rent reductions or abatements, tenant allowances or other improvements, and early termination rights, which may pressure us to reduce our rental rates, undertake unexpected capital improvements or accommodate requests for renovations, build-to-suit remodeling andoffer other improvements than we have done historically.  As a result,terms less favorable to us, which could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, trading price of our common shares and ability to satisfy our debt service obligations and to pay distributions to our shareholders may be materially adversely affected. In addition, increased competition for tenants may require us to make capital improvements to properties that we would not have otherwise planned to make, which would reduce cash available for distributions to shareholders. Ifcondition. Additionally, if retailers or consumers perceive that shopping at other venues online or by phoneonline is more convenient, cost-effective or otherwise more attractive, our revenues and results of operations also may suffer.

Because of our geographic concentrations, a prolonged economic downturn in certain states and regions could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
The specific markets in which we operate may face challenging economic conditions that could persist into the future. In particular, as of December 31, 2019,2021, rents from our owned retail square footage in the states of Texas, Florida, Indiana, Texas, Nevada,New York, Maryland, and North Carolina comprised 26%24.0%, 16%9.9%, 15%5.8%, 10%5.8%, and 10%5.1% of our base rent, respectively. This level of concentration could expose us to greater economic risks than if we owned properties in more geographic regions. Adverse economic or real estate trends in Florida, Indiana, Texas, Nevada, North Carolina,these states or the surrounding regions or any decrease in demand for retail space resulting from the local regulatory environment, business climate or fiscal problems in these states, could materially and adversely affect us.
We depend on external financing to fulfill our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, the trading price of our common sharescapital needs, and our ability to satisfy our debt service obligations and to pay distributions to our shareholders. 
Disruptionsdisruptions in the financial markets could affect our ability to obtain financing on reasonable terms, or at all, and have other material adverse effects on our business.
Partly because of the distribution requirements of being a REIT, we may not be able to fund all future capital needs with income from operations. Consequently, we may rely on external financing to fulfill our capital needs. Disruptions in the

As a result, we may be unable to refinance or extend our existing indebtedness on favorable terms or at all. We do not have any$153.5 million of debt principal scheduled to mature through December 31, 2021.2022. If we are not successful in refinancing our outstanding


debt when it becomes due, we may have to dispose of properties on disadvantageous terms, which could adversely affect our ability to service other debt and to meet our other obligations. While we currently have sufficient capacity under our unsecured revolving credit facility and operating cash flows to retire outstanding debt maturing through 2025 in the event we are not able to refinance such debt when it becomes due, but our credit facility has a maturity date in April 2022 (which may be extended for two additional periods of six months subject to certain conditions), and there can be no assurance that the credit facility will remain outstanding or be renewed through 2025 or that our operating cash flows will continue to provide sufficient liquidity to retire any or all of our outstanding debt during this period or beyond. 
If economic conditions deteriorate in any of our markets, we may have to seek less attractive, alternative sources of financing and adjust our business plan accordingly. These factors
We have a significant amount of indebtedness outstanding and may make itneed to incur more difficult for us to sell properties or may adversely affect the selling price, as prospective buyers may experience increased costs of financing or difficulties in obtaining financing. These events also may make it difficult or costly to raise capital through the issuance of our common shares or preferred shares. The disruptions in the financial marketsfuture.
We have had, and may continue to have, a material adverse effect on the market value of our common shares and other aspects of our business, as well as the economy in general. Furthermore, there can be no assurances that government responses to disruptions in the financial markets will restore consumer confidence, stabilize the markets or increase liquidity and the availability of equity or debt financing.
Some of our real estate assets have been subject to impairment charges and others may be subject to impairment charges in the future, which may negatively affect our net income.
Our long-lived assets, primarily real estate held for investment, are carried at cost unless circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable through future operations. In 2019, we recorded impairment charges totaling $37.7 million related to a reduction in the expected holding period of certain operating properties, which impairment charges negatively affected our net income for the applicable periods. Management reviews operational and development projects, land parcels and intangible assets on a property-by-property basis on at least a quarterly basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. We evaluate whether there are any indicators, including poor operating performance or deteriorating general market conditions, that the carrying value of our real estate properties (including any related amortizable intangible assets or liabilities) may not be recoverable. As part of this evaluation, we compare the current carrying value of the asset to the estimated undiscounted cash flows that are directly associated with the use and ultimate disposition of the asset. This review for possible impairment requires certain assumptions, estimates, and significant judgment. Our estimated cash flows are based on several key assumptions, including projected net operating income, anticipated hold period, expected capital expenditures, and the capitalization rate used to estimate the property's residual value. These key assumptions are subjective in nature and could differ materially from actual results if the property was disposed. Changes in our disposition strategy or changes in the marketplace may alter the hold period of an asset or asset group, which may result in an impairment loss, and such loss could be material to our financial condition or operating performance. To the extent that the carrying value of the asset exceeds the estimated undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized equal to the excess of carrying value over estimated fair value. If the above-described negative indicators are not identified during our period property evaluations, management will not assess the recoverability of a property's carrying value. 
The estimation of the fair value of real estate assets is highly subjective and is typically determined through comparable sales information and other market data if available or through use of an income approach such as the direct capitalization method or the traditional discounted cash flow approach. Such cash flow projections consider factors, including expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of demand, competition and other factors, and therefore are subject to a significant degree of management judgment. Changes in those factors could impact the determination of fair value. In estimating the fair value of undeveloped land, we generally use market data and comparable sales information.

These subjective assessments have a direct impact on our net income because recording an impairment charge results in an immediate negative adjustment to net income. There can be no assurance that we will not take additional charges in the future related to the impairment of our assets. Any future impairment could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in the period in which the charge is taken.
We had $1.15$3.2 billion of consolidated indebtedness outstanding as of December 31, 2019, which may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results2021, including the assumption of operations and reduce our ability to incur additional indebtedness to fund our growth.

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

such credit agreement or note purchase agreement could have a material adverse effect on our business, limit our ability to make distributions to our shareholders, and prevent us from obtaining additional funds needed to address cash shortfalls or pursue growth opportunities.

Certain of our loan agreements contain cross-default provisions which provide that a violation by the Company of any financial covenant set forth in our unsecured revolving credit facility agreement will constitute an event of default under such loans.  The agreements relating to our unsecured revolving credit facility, unsecured term loanloans and seven-year unsecured term loanprivate placement notes contain provisions providingcross-defaults to certain other material indebtedness (including recourse indebtedness in excess of $40.0 million or $50.0 million, depending on the agreement), such that anyan “Event of Default” under one of these facilities or loans will constitutecould trigger an “Event of Default” under the other facilityfacilities or loan.

We were in compliance with all applicable covenants under the agreements relating to our senior unsecured revolving credit facility, seven-yearsenior unsecured term loan,loans, and senior unsecured notes as of December 31, 2019,2021, although there can be no assurance that we will continue to remain in compliance in the future.
Our credit ratings may not reflect all the risks of an investment in our debt.
Our credit ratings are assessments by rating agencies of our ability to pay our debts when due. Credit ratings may be revised or withdrawn at any time by a rating agency at its sole discretion. We do not undertake any obligation to maintain our ratings or advise our debt holders of any change in our ratings, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain our current credit ratings. Adverse changes in our credit ratings could significantly reduce the market price of our publicly traded debt and could impact our ability to obtain additional debt and equity financing on favorable terms or at all.
Mortgage debt obligations expose us to the possibility of foreclosure, which could result in the loss of our investment in a property or group of properties subject to mortgage debt.
A significant amountportion of our indebtedness is secured by our real estate assets. If a property or group of properties is mortgagedassets, which could be subject to secure payment of debt and we are unable to make the required periodic mortgage payments,foreclosure by the lender or the holder of the


mortgage could foreclose on the property, resulting in the loss of our investment.if we fail to make required mortgage payments. For tax purposes, a foreclosure of any of our properties would be treated as a sale of the property for a purchase price equal to the outstanding balance of the debt secured by the mortgage. If the outstandingsuch balance of the debt secured by the mortgage exceeds our tax basis in the property, we would recognize taxable income on foreclosure but we would not receive any cash proceeds, which could hinder our ability to meet the REIT distribution requirements imposed by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"“Code”). If any of our properties are foreclosed on due to a default, our ability to pay cash distributions to our shareholders and our earnings will be limited.  In addition, as a result oflimited, and due to cross-collateralization or cross-default provisions, contained in certain of our mortgage loans, a default under onecertain mortgage loanloans could result in a default on other indebtedness and cause us to lose other better performing properties, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

We are subject to risks associated with hedging agreements.
agreements, including potential performance failures by counterparties and termination costs.
We use a combination of interest rate protection agreements, including interest rate swaps, to manage risk associated with interest rate volatility. This may expose us to additional risks, including a risk that the counterparty to a hedging arrangement may fail to honor its obligations. Developing an effective interest rate risk strategy is complex and no strategy can completely insulate us from the risks associated with interest rate fluctuations. There can be no assurance that our hedging activities will have the desired beneficial effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Further, should we choose to terminate a hedging agreement, there could be significant costs and cash requirements involved to fulfill our initial obligation under such agreement. 
We may be adversely affected by changes in LIBOR reporting practices, the method in which LIBOR is determined or the use of alternative reference rates.

As of December 31, 2019,2021, we had approximately $305.8$959.0 million of debt and $875.0 million of derivatives outstanding that waswere indexed to the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). In July 2017, the United Kingdom regulator that regulatesCertain tenors of LIBOR announced its intention to phase out LIBOR rates by the end of 2021. It is not possible to predict the further effect of this announcement, any changes in the methods by whichwill remain available through June 2023, however, LIBOR is determined or any other reforms to LIBOR that may be enacted in the United Kingdom, the European Union or elsewhere.  In April 2018, the New York Federal Reserve commenced publishing an alternative reference rate, the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), proposed by a group of major market participants convened by the U.S. Federal Reserve with participation by SEC Staff and other regulators, the Alternative Reference Rates Committee ("ARRC"). SOFR is based on transactions in the more robust U.S. Treasury repurchase market and has been proposed as the alternative to LIBOR for use in derivatives and other financial contracts that currently rely on LIBOR as a reference rate. ARRC has proposed a paced market transition plan to SOFR from LIBOR and organizations are currently working on industry-wide and company-specific transition plans as it relates to derivatives and cash markets exposed to LIBOR. At this time, no consensus exists as to what rate or rates may become accepted alternatives to LIBOR, and it is impossible to predict whether and to what extent banks will continue to provide LIBOR submissions to the administrator of LIBOR, whether LIBOR rates will ceaselonger permitted to be published or supported before orused in new contracts after December 31, 2021 or whether any additional reformsand existing contracts will be transitioned to LIBOR may be enacted in the United Kingdom or elsewhere. Such developments and any other legal or regulatory changes in the method by whichalternative interest rates. When LIBOR is determined or the transition from LIBOR to a successor benchmark may result in, among other things, a sudden or prolonged increase or decrease in LIBOR, a delay in the publication of LIBOR, and changes in the rules or methodologies in LIBOR, which may discourage market participants from continuing to administer or to participate in LIBOR’s determination and, in certain situations, could result in LIBOR no longer being determined and published. If a published U.S. dollar LIBOR rate is unavailable after 2021,discontinued, the interest rates onrate for certain of our debt which isinstruments that are indexed to LIBOR will be determined using various alternative methods, any of which may result in interest obligations whichthat are more than or do not otherwise correlate over time with the payments that would have been made on such debt if U.S. dollar LIBOR was available in its current form. Further, the same costs and risks that may lead to the unavailability of U.S. dollar LIBOR may make one or more of the alternative methods impossible or impracticable to determine. Any of these proposals or consequencesform, which could have a material adverse effect on our financing costs, and as a result, our financial condition, operating results and cash flows.

Our financial covenants may restrict our operating and acquisition activities.
Our unsecured revolving credit facility contains certain financial and operating covenants, including, among other things, certain coverage ratios, as well as limitations on our ability to incur debt, make dividend payments, sell all or substantially all of our assets and engage in mergers and consolidations and certain acquisitions. These covenants may restrict our ability to pursue certain business initiatives or certain acquisition transactions. In addition, certain of our mortgages contain customary covenants which, among other things, limit our ability, without the prior consent of the lender, to further mortgage the property, to enter into new leases or materially modify existing leases, and to discontinue insurance coverage.  Failure to meet any of the financial


covenants could cause an event of default under and/or accelerate some or all of our indebtedness, which could have a material adverse effect on us.

As of December 31, 2019,2021, we owned interests in two of our operating retail properties and one development project through consolidated joint ventures and interests in fourthree operating retail properties, a hotel component of an operating property, a multifamily component of an operating property, and one development project through unconsolidated joint ventures. In addition,ventures, and in the future, we currently own land held for developmentmay seek to co-invest with third parties through one consolidatedother joint venture.ventures. Our joint ventures and the value and performance of such investments may involve risks not present with respect to our wholly owned properties, including the following:
we may share(i) shared decision-making authority, with our joint venture partners regarding certain major decisions affecting the ownership or operation of the joint venture and the joint venture property, such as the sale of the property or the making of additional capital contributions for the benefit of the property, which may prevent us from taking actions that are opposed byin our joint venture partners;

Developments and redevelopments have inherent risks that could adversely affect our ability to qualify as a REIT, even though we may not control the joint venture.

In the future, we may seek to co-invest with third parties through joint ventures that may involve similar or additional risks. 
Our future developments, redevelopments and acquisitions may not yield the returns we expect or may result in dilution in shareholder value.
impact us.
As of December 31, 2019,2021, we have oneeight development projectand redevelopment projects under construction and threefive redevelopment opportunities currently in the planning stage, including de-leasing space and evaluating development plans and costs with potential tenants and partners. Some of these plans include non-retail uses, such as multifamily housing. New development and redevelopment projects and property acquisitions are subject to a number of risks, including but not limited to: the following:
abandonmentexpenditure of developmentcapital and redevelopment activities after expending resources to determine feasibility;
construction delays or cost overrunstime on projects that may increase project costs;not be pursued or completed;
the failure of our pre-acquisition investigation of a property or building, and any related representations we may receive from the seller, to reveal various liabilities or defects or identify necessary repairs until after the property is acquired, which could reduce the cash flow from the property or increase our acquisition costs;
as a result of competition for attractive development and acquisition opportunities, we may be unable to acquire assets as we desire or the purchase price may be significantly elevated, which may impede our growth;
the failure to meet anticipated occupancy or rent levels within the projected time frame, if at all;


inability to operate successfully in new markets where new properties are located;obtain necessary zoning or regulatory approvals;
higher than estimated construction or operating costs, including labor and material costs;
inability to successfully integrate new properties into existing operations;complete construction on schedule;
exposuresignificant time lag between commencement and stabilization resulting in delayed returns and greater risks due to fluctuations in the general economy, shifts in demographics and competition;
decrease in customer traffic during the development period causing a decrease in tenant sales;
inability to secure key anchor or other tenants or complete the lease-up at anticipated absorption rates or at all;
occupancy and rental rates at a newly completed project may not meet expectations;
investment returns from developments may be less than expected; and
suspension of development projects after construction has begun due to the significant time lag between commencement and completion of development and redevelopment projects;
failure to receive required zoning, occupancy, land use and other governmental permits and authorizations and changes in applicable zoning and land use laws; and
difficultyeconomic conditions or inability to obtain any required consents of third parties, such as tenants, mortgage lenders and joint venture partners.

In addition, if a project is delayed or if we are unable to lease designated space to anchor tenants, certain other tenants may have the right to terminate their leases or modify the terms in a mannerfactors that is disadvantageous to us. If any of these situations occur, development costs for a project may increase, which may result in reduced returns,the write-off of costs, payment of additional costs or even losses, from such investments. increases in overall costs if the project is restarted.
In deciding whether to acquire, develop or redevelop a particular property, we make certain assumptions regarding the expected future performance of that property. If these properties do not perform as expected,property, and our financial performance may be materially and adversely affected, or in the case of an unsuccessful redevelopment project, our entire investment could be at risk for loss, or an impairment charge could occur. In addition, the issuance of equity securities as consideration for any significant acquisitions could be dilutive to our shareholders. 
To the extent that we pursue acquisitions in the future, we may not be successful in acquiring desirable operating properties, for which we face significant competition, or identifying development and redevelopment projects that meet our investment criteria, both of which may impede our growth.
From time to time, consistent with our business strategy, we evaluate the market and may acquire properties when we believe strategic opportunities exist. When we pursue acquisitions, we may be unable to acquire a desired property because offace competition from other real estate investors, with substantial capital, including other REITs and institutional investment funds. Even if we are ablewhich could limit our ability to acquire a desired property, competition from other potential acquirers may significantlyproperties, increase the purchase price we are required to pay thus reducing the return to our shareholders. Additionally, we may not be successful in identifying suitable real estate properties or other assets that meet our development or redevelopment criteria, or we may failshareholders, and cause us to complete developments, redevelopments, acquisitions or investments on satisfactory terms. Failure to identify or complete developments, redevelopments or acquisitions could slow our growth, which could in turn materially adversely affect our operations.  Furthermore, when we pursue acquisitions, we may agree to provisions that materially restrict us from selling that property for a period of timematerial restrictions or impose other restrictions, such as limitations onin the amount of debt that can be placed or repaid on that property.acquisition agreements. These factors and any others that wouldcould impede our ability to respond to adverse changes in the performance of our properties couldgrowth and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Development and redevelopment activitiesWe may be delayed or may not perform as expected and, in the case of an unsuccessful project, our entire investment could be at risk for loss.
We currently have one development project under construction. We have also identified three additional redevelopment opportunities and expect to commence redevelopment in the future. In connection with any development or redevelopment of our properties, we will bear certain risks, including the risk of construction delays or cost overruns that may increase project costs and make a project uneconomical, the risk that occupancy or rental rates at a completed project will not be sufficient to enable us to pay operating expenses or earn the targeted rate of return on investment, and the risk of incurrence of predevelopment costs in connection with projects that are not pursued to completion. In addition, various tenants may have the right to withdraw from a property if a development or redevelopment project is not completed on schedule and required third-party consents may be withheld. In the case of an unsuccessful redevelopment project, our entire investment could be at risk for loss, or an impairment charge could occur. 
We may not be ableunable to sell properties when appropriateat the time we desire and on favorable terms or on terms favorableat all, which could limit our ability to us and could, under certain circumstances, be required to pay a 100% "prohibited transaction" penalty tax related to the properties we sell.
access capital through dispositions.
Real estate property investments generally cannot be sold quickly. Our ability to dispose of properties on advantageous terms depends on factors beyond our control, including competition from other sellers and the availability of attractive financing for potential buyers of our properties, and we cannot predict the various market conditions affecting real estate investments that will exist at any particular time in the future. Before a property can be sold, we may need to make expenditures to correct defects or to make improvements. We may not have funds available to correct such defects or to make such improvements, and if we cannot do so, we might not be able to sell the property or might be required to sell the property on unfavorable terms. We may


not be able to dispose of any of theour properties on terms favorable to us or at all, and each individual sale will depend on, among other things, economic and market conditions, competition from other sellers, individual asset characteristics and the availability of potential buyers and favorable financing terms at the time. Further, we willmay incur marketing expenses and other transaction costs in connection with dispositions, anddispositions. 
In addition, the process of marketing and selling a large pool of properties may distract the attention of our personnel from the operation of our business.
Also, the tax laws applicable to REITs imposeCode generally imposes a 100% penalty tax on any net income from “prohibited transactions.” In general, prohibited transactionsgain recognized by REITs upon the disposition of assets if the assets are sales or other dispositions of property held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business. The determination as to whether a particular sale is a prohibited transaction depends on the facts and circumstances related to that sale. The need to avoid prohibited transactionsbusiness rather than for investment, which could cause us to forego or defer sales of properties that might otherwise be in our best interest to sell. Therefore, wesell, which may be unablelimit our ability to adjust our portfolio mix promptly in response to market conditions, which may adversely affect our financial position. In addition, weconditions. We will also be subject to income taxes on gains from the sale of any properties owned by any taxable REIT subsidiary. subsidiary (“TRS”).
We could experience a decline in the fair value of our real estate assets and be subject to impairment charges, which could be material.
Our long-lived assets, primarily real estate held for investment, are carried at cost unless circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable through future operations. Changes in our disposition strategy or changes in the marketplace may alter the hold period of an asset or asset group, which may result in an impairment loss, and such loss could be material to our financial condition or operating performance. To the extent that the carrying value of the asset exceeds the estimated undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized equal to the excess of the carrying value over estimated fair value (which is highly subjective and involves a significant degree of management judgment regarding various inputs). We did not record any impairment charges during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. During the year ended December 31, 2019, we recorded impairment charges totaling $37.7 million related to a reduction in the expected holding period of certain operating properties. There can be no assurances that we will not take additional charges in the future related to the impairment of our assets, which could result in an immediate negative adjustment to net income and have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in the period in which the charge is taken.
We could be materially and adversely affected if we are found to be in breach of a ground lease at one of our properties or are unable to renew a ground lease.
As of December 31, 2021, we had 10 properties in our portfolio that are either completely or partially on land that is owned by third parties and leased to us pursuant to ground leases. If we are found to be in breach of a ground lease and that breach cannot be cured or we are unable to extend the lease terms or purchase the fee interest in the underlying land prior to expiration, as to which no assurance can be given, we could lose our interest in the improvements and the right to operate the property, and we would be unable to derive income from such property. Assuming we exercise all available options to extend the terms of our ground leases, our ground leases will expire between 2043 and 2115. In certain cases, our ability to exercise the extension option is subject to the condition that we are not in default at the time we exercise such option, and we can provide no assurances that we will be able to exercise our options.
Uninsured losses or losses in excess of insurance coverage could materially and adversely affect our cash flow, financial condition and results of operations.

We do not carry insurance for generally uninsurable losses such as loss from riots, war or acts of God, and, in some cases, flooding.flooding, and insurance companies may no longer offer coverage against certain types of losses such as environmental liabilities or other catastrophic events or, if offered, the expense of obtaining such coverage may not be justified. Some of our policies, such as those covering losses due to terrorism and floods, are insured subject to limitations, involving large deductiblesand in the future, we may be unable to renew or co-payments and policy limits that may not be sufficient to cover all losses.duplicate our current insurance coverage at adequate levels or at reasonable prices. In addition, tenants generally are required to indemnify and hold us harmless from liabilities resulting from injury to persons or damage to personal or real property on the premises due to activities conducted by tenants or their agents on the properties (including, without limitation, any environmental contamination) and, at the tenant’s expense, to obtain and keep in full force during the term of the lease, liability and property damage insurance policies. However, tenants may not properly maintain their insurance policies or have the ability to pay the deductibles associated with such policies. If we experience a loss that is uninsured or that exceeds policy limits, we could lose the capital invested in the damaged properties as well as the anticipated future cash flows from those properties.flows. Inflation, changes in building codes and ordinances, environmental considerations, and other factors also might make it impractical or undesirable to use insurance proceeds to replace a property after it has been damaged or destroyed. In addition, if the damaged properties are subject to recourse indebtedness, we would continue to be liable for the indebtedness, even if these properties were irreparably damaged.

Insurance coverage on our properties may be expensive or difficult to obtain, exposing us to potential risk of loss.
In the future, we may be unable to renew or duplicate our current insurance coverage at adequate levels or at reasonable prices. In addition, insurance companies may no longer offer coverage against certain types of losses, such as losses due to terrorist acts, environmental liabilities, or other catastrophic events including hurricanes and floods, or, if offered, the expense of obtaining these types of insurance may not be justified. We therefore may cease to have insurance coverage against certain types of losses and/or there may be decreases in the limits of insurance available. If an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of our insured limits occurs, we could lose all or a portion of the capital we have invested in a property, as well as the anticipated future revenue from the property after a covered period of time, but still remain obligated for any mortgage debt or other financial obligations related to the property. We cannot guarantee that material losses in excess of insurance proceeds will not occur in the future. If any of our properties were to experience a catastrophic loss, it could seriously disrupt our operations, delay revenue and result in large expenses to repair or rebuild the property. Events such as these could adversely affect our results of operations and our ability to meet our financial obligations. 
Rising operating expenses could reduce our cash flow and funds available for future distributions, particularly if such expenses are not offset by an increase in corresponding revenues.
Our existing properties and any properties we develop or acquire in the future are and will continue to be subject to operating risks common to real estate in general, any or all of which may negatively affect us. The expenses of owning and operating properties generally do not decrease, and may increase, when circumstances such as market factors and competition cause a reduction in income from the properties. Our properties continue to be subject to increases in real estate and other tax rates, utility costs, operating expenses, insurance costs, repairs and maintenance and administrative expenses, regardless of occupancy rates. As a result, if any property is not fully occupied or if rents are being paid in an amount that is insufficient to cover operating expenses, we could be required to expend funds for that property’s operating expenses. Therefore, rising operating expenses could reduce our cash flow and funds available for future distributions, particularly if such expenses are not offset by corresponding revenues.



Our business faces potential risks associated with natural disasters, severe weather conditions, and climate change and related legislation and regulations, and terrorism, any of which could have an adverse effect on our cash flowus.
Our properties are located in many areas that are subject to, or have been affected by, natural disasters and operating results.

Global climate change continues to attract considerable publicsevere weather conditions such as hurricanes, tropical storms, tornadoes, earthquakes, droughts, floods and scientific attention with widespread concern about the impact of human activity on the environment, including effects on the frequency and scale of natural disasters.fires. Changing weather patterns and climatic conditions, including as a result of climate change, may affect the predictability and frequency of natural disasters in some parts of the world and create additional uncertainty as to future trends and exposures, including certain areas in which our portfolio is concentrated such as Texas, Indiana, Florida, Nevada,New York, Maryland, and North Carolina. Our properties are located in many areas that are subject to or have been affected by natural disasters and severe weather conditions such as hurricanes, tropical storms, tornadoes, earthquakes, droughts, floods and fires. Over time, the occurrence of natural disasters, severe weather conditions and changing climatic conditions can delay new development and redevelopment projects, increase repair costs and future insurance costs and negatively impact the demand for leaseleased space in the affected areas, or in extreme cases, affect our ability to operate the properties at all. These risks could have an adverse effect on our cash flow and operating results.


Regulation regarding climate change may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

ChangesAdditionally, changes in federal and state legislation and regulations on climate changecontrol could result in increased costs and expenses, such as utility expenses and/or capital expenditures to improve the energy efficiency of our existing properties, or potentially result in fines for non-compliance.
Potential terrorist attacks and other related aspectsacts of violence could also harm the demand for, and the value of, our properties, in order to comply with such regulations or otherwise adapt to climate change. These regulations may require unplanned capital improvements, and increased engagement to manage occupant energy use, which is a large driver of building performance. Ifincluding through damage, destruction, loss at our properties, cannotincreased security costs, and limited availability of insurance for such acts. Such acts could impact our tenant’s ability to meet performance standards, we could be exposedobligations in their existing leases, make it difficult for us to finesrenew or re-lease our properties at lease rates equal to or above historical rates, or result in increased volatility in financial markets and economies.

As a result,limit our financial condition and resultsaccess to capital or increase our cost of operations could be adversely affected.raising capital.

We could incur significant costs related to environmental matters.
matters, and our efforts to identify environmental liabilities may not be successful.
Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, an owner or operator of real estate may be required to investigate and clean up hazardous or toxic substances or petroleum product releases at a property and may be held liable to a governmental entity or to third parties for property damage and for investigation and clean-up costs incurred bycost of clean-up. Some of the properties in our portfolio contain, may have contained or are adjacent to or near other properties that have contained or currently contain underground storage tanks for petroleum products or other hazardous or toxic substances, and some of our properties have tenants that may use hazardous or toxic substances in the course of their businesses. Indemnities in our leases may not fully protect us in the event that a tenant responsible for such parties in connection with contamination.releases becomes insolvent. The cost of investigation, remediation or removal of such substances may be substantial, and the presence of such substances, or the failure to properly remediate such substances,them, may adversely affect the owner’sour ability to sell or rent such property or to borrow using such property as collateral. In connection with the ownership, operation and management of real properties, we are potentially liable for removal or remediation costs, as well as certain other related costs, including governmental fines and injuries to persons and property.property, liens on contaminated sites, and restrictions on operations. We may also be liable to third parties for damage and injuries resulting from environmental contamination emanating from the real estate.  Environmental laws also may create liens on contaminated sites in favor of the government for damages and costs it incurs to address such contamination.  Moreover, if contamination is discovered on our properties, environmental laws may impose restrictions on the manner in which that property may be usedestate we own or how businesses may be operated on that property. 
Some of the properties in our portfolio contain, may have contained or are adjacent to or near other properties that have contained or currently contain underground storage tanks for petroleum products or other hazardous or toxic substances. These tanks may have released, or have the potential to release, such substances into the environment. In addition, some of our properties have tenants that may use hazardous or toxic substances in the routine course of their businesses. In general, these tenants have covenanted in their leases with us to use these substances, if any, in compliance with all environmental laws and have agreed to indemnify us for any damages that we may suffer as a result of their use of such substances. However, these lease provisions may not fully protect us in the event that a tenant becomes insolvent.operate. Finally, certain of our properties have containedconfirmed asbestos-containing building materials or ACBM,(“ACBM”) and other properties may have containedcontain such materials based on the date of itsbuilding construction. Environmental laws require that ACBM be properly managed and maintained, and may impose fines and penalties on building owners or operators for failure to comply with these requirements. The laws also may allow third parties to seek recovery from owners or operators for personal injury associated with exposure to asbestos fibers.
Our efforts to identify environmental liabilities may not be successful.
We testevaluate our properties for compliance with applicable environmental laws on a limited basis. Webasis, and we cannot give assurance that: 

that existing environmental studies with respect to our properties reveal all potential environmental liabilities;


any previous owner, occupantliabilities or tenant of one of our properties did not create any material environmental condition not known to us;
thethat current environmental condition of our properties will not be affected by tenants and occupants, by the condition of nearby properties, or by other unrelated third parties; or
future uses or conditions (including, without limitation, changes in applicable environmental laws and regulations or the interpretation thereof) or changes in environmental laws will not result in environmental liabilities.

Compliance with the Americans with Disabilities ActADA and fire, safety and other regulations may require us to make expenditures that adversely affect our cash flows and results of operations.
significant capital expenditures.
Our properties must comply with Title III of the ADA to the extent that such properties are public accommodations as defined by the ADA. The ADA may require removal of structural barriers to access by persons with disabilities in certain public areas of our properties where such removal is readily achievable. Noncompliance with the ADA could result in orders requiring us to spend substantial sums to cure violations, pay attorneys'attorneys’ fees, or pay other amounts. Although we believe theour properties in our portfolio substantially comply with the present requirements of the ADA, we have not conducted an audit or investigation of all of our properties to determine our compliance. While thecompliance, and while our tenants to whom our properties are leased are obligated by law to comply with the ADA provisions, and typically under tenant leases are obligated to cover costs associated with compliance, if required changes involve greater expenditures than anticipated, or if the changes must be made on a more accelerated basisfaster timelines than anticipated, the ability of these tenants to cover costs could be adversely affected. As a result, we could be required to expend funds to comply with the provisions of the ADA, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. In addition, we are required to operate the properties in compliance with fire and safety regulations, building codes and other land
19


use regulations, as they may beare adopted by governmental agencies and bodies and become applicable to the properties. We may be required to make substantial capital expenditures to comply with, and we may be restricted in our ability to renovate the properties subject to those requirements. The resulting expenditures and restrictionsthese requirements, which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to meet our financial obligations, as well asaffect our cash flows and results of operations.

Inflation may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Most of our leases contain provisions requiring the tenant to pay a share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance real estate taxes and insurance.  In many of our leases, the tenant's obligation for common area maintenance or other operating expenses, may be based on a fixed amount ofor fixed percentage that is not subject to adjustment for inflation. However, increased inflation could have a more pronounced negative impact on our mortgage and debt interest and general and administrative expenses, as these costs could increase at a rate higher than our rents. Also, inflation may adversely affect tenant leases with stated rent increases or limits on such tenant’s obligation to pay its share of operating expenses, which could be lower than the increase in inflation at any given time. It may also limit our ability to recover all of our operating expenses. InflationIn addition, inflation could also have an adverse effect on consumer spending, which could impact our tenants’ sales and, in turn, our average rents, and in some cases, our percentage rents where applicable.  In addition, renewals of leases or future leases may not be negotiated on current terms, in which event we may recover a smaller percentage of our operating expenses. 
Rising interest rates could increase our borrowing costs, thereby adversely affecting our cash flows and the amounts available for distributions to our shareholders, as well as decrease our share price, if investors seek higher yields through other investments.

An environment of rising interest rates could lead investors to seek higher yields through other investments, which could adversely affect the market price of our common shares. One of the factors that may influence the price of our common shares in public markets is the rate of annual cash distributions we pay as compared with the yields on alternative investments. Several other factors, such as governmental regulatory action and tax laws, could have a significant impact on the future market price of our common shares. In addition, increases in market interest rates could result in increased borrowing costs for us, which may adversely affect our cash flow and the amounts available for distributions to our shareholders.

We and our tenants face risks relating to cybersecurity attacks that could cause loss of confidential information and other business disruptions.

disruptions.
We and our tenants rely extensively on computer systems to process transactions and manage our business, and although we utilizerespective businesses. Although various measures are utilized to prevent, detect and mitigate threats, we have been targeted by e-mail phishing attempts and scams in the past, and our business is at risk from, and may be impacted by, cybersecurity attacks. These could include attempts to gain unauthorized access to our data and computer systems. Attacks can be both individual and/or highly organized attempts by very sophisticated


hacking organizations. A cybersecurity attack could compromise the confidential information of our employees, tenants, and vendors. Additionally, we rely on a number of service providers and vendors, and cybersecurity risks at these service providers and vendors create additional risks for our information and business. A successful attack could lead to identity theft, fraud or other disruptions to our business operations, any of which may negatively affect ourus.
While we conduct periodic cybersecurity assessments and use the results of operations.

We employ a number of measures to prevent, detect and mitigate these threats. These prevention measures include password protection, frequent password change events, firewall detection systems, frequent backups, a redundant data system for core applications and penetration testing. We conduct periodic assessments of (i) the nature, sensitivity and location of information that we collect, process and store and the technology systems we use; (ii) internal and external cybersecurity threats to and vulnerabilities of our information and technology systems; (iii) security controls and processes currently in place; (iv) the impact should our technology systems become compromised; and (v) the effectiveness of our management of cybersecurity risk.

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

shareholders from being paid a premium for their common shares over the then-prevailing market prices.
(1) There are ownership limits and restrictions on transferability in our declaration of trust. In order for us to qualify as a REIT, no more than 50% of the value of our outstanding shares may be owned, actually or constructively, by five or fewer individuals at any time during the last half of each taxable year. To make sureensure that we will not fail to satisfy this requirement and for anti-takeover reasons, our declaration of trust generally prohibits any shareholder (other than an excepted holder or certain designated investment entities, as defined in our declaration of trust) from owning (actually, constructively or by attribution), more than 7% of the value or number of our outstanding common shares. Our declaration of trust provides an excepted holder limit that allows certain members of the Kite family (Al Kite, John Kite and Paul Kite, their family members and(and certain entities controlled by one or more of the Kites)Kite family members), as a group, to own more than 7% of our outstanding common shares, so long as, under thesubject to applicable tax attribution rules, no one excepted holder treated as an individual would hold more than 21.5% of our common shares, no two excepted holders treated as individuals would own more than 28.5% of our common shares, no three excepted holders treated as individuals would own more than 35.5% of our common shares, no four excepted holders treated as individuals would own more than 42.5% of our common shares, and no five excepted holders treated as individuals would own more than 49.5% of our common shares.rules. Currently, one of the excepted holders would be attributed all of the common shares owned by each other excepted holder and, accordingly, the excepted holders as a group would not be allowed to own in excess of 21.5% of our common shares. If at a later time there were not one excepted holder that would be attributed all of the shares owned by the excepted holders as a group, the excepted holder limit would not permit each excepted holder to own 21.5% of our common shares. Rather, the excepted holder limit would prevent two or more excepted holders who are treated as individuals under the applicable tax attribution rules from owning a higher percentage of our common shares than the maximum amount of common shares that could be owned by any one excepted holder (21.5%), plus the maximum amount of common shares that could be owned by any one or more other individual common shareholders who are not excepted holders (7%). Certain entities that are defined as designated investment entities in our declaration of trust, which generally include pension funds, mutual funds, and certain investment management companies, are permitted to own up to 9.8% of our outstanding common shares, so long as each beneficial owner of the shares owned by such designated investment entity would satisfy the 7% ownership limit if those beneficial owners owned directly their

In addition, our declaration of trust contains certain other ownership restrictions intended to prevent us from earning income from related parties if such income would cause us to fail to comply with the REIT gross income requirements. The various ownership restrictions may:

may discourage a tender offer or other transactionschange of control transaction or compel a change in management or control that might involve a premium price forshareholder who has acquired our shares or otherwise be in the best interests of our shareholders; or


compel a shareholder who has acquired our shares in excess of these ownership limitations to dispose of the additional shares and, as a result, to forfeit the benefits of owning the additional shares. Any acquisition of our common shares in violation of these ownership restrictions will be void ab initio and will result in automatic transfers of our common shares to a charitable trust, which will be responsible for selling the common shares to permitted transferees and distributing at least a portion of the proceeds to the prohibited transferees.

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

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

We have opted out of these provisions of Maryland law. However, our Board of Trustees may opt to make these provisions applicable to us at any time. 
A substantial number of common shares eligible for future issuance or sale could cause our common share price to decline significantly and may be dilutive to current shareholders.
Our declaration of trust authorizes our Board of Trustees to, among other things, issue additional common shares without shareholder approval. The issuance of substantial numbers of our common shares in the public market or the perception that such issuances might occur could adversely affect the per share trading price of our common shares. In addition, any such issuance could dilute our existing shareholders' interests in our company. Furthermore, if our shareholders sell, or the market perceives that our shareholders intend to sell, substantial amounts of our common shares in the public market, the market price of our common shares could decline significantly. These sales also might make it more difficult forand bylaws require us to sell equity or equity-related securitiesindemnify our trustees and officers for actions taken by them in those capacities to the extent permitted by Maryland law.


in the future at a time and price that we deem appropriate. As of December 31, 2019, we had outstanding 83,963,369 common shares, substantially all of which are freely tradable.  In addition, 2,110,037 units of our Operating Partnership were owned by our executive officers and other individuals as of December 31, 2019, and are redeemable by the holder for cash or, at our election, common shares. Pursuant to registration rights of certain of our executive officers and other individuals, we filed a registration statement with the SEC to register common shares issued (or issuable upon redemption of units in our Operating Partnership) in our formation transactions. As units are redeemed for common shares, the market price of our common shares could drop significantly if the holders of such shares sell them or are perceived by the market as intending to sell them. 
Certain officers and trustees may have interests that conflict with the interests of shareholders.
Certain of our officers own limited partner units in our Operating Partnership. These individuals may have personal interests that conflict with the interests of our shareholders with respect to business decisions affecting us and our Operating Partnership, such as interests in the timing and pricing of property sales or refinancing transactions in order to obtain favorable tax treatment. As a result, the effect of certain transactions on these unit holders may influence our decisions affecting these properties.

Departure or loss of our key officers could have an adverse effect on us.
Our future success depends, to a significant extent, upon the continued services of our existing executive officers. Theofficers, whose experience of our executive officers in the areas of real estate acquisition, development, finance and management is a critical element of our future success. We have entered into employment agreements with certain members of executive management. Each agreement will continue to renew after expiration of its initial term or applicable renew periods unless we or the individual elects not to renew the agreement. If one or more of our key executive officers were to die, become disabled or otherwise leave our employ,the company, we may not be able to replace this person with an executive of equal skill, ability, and industry expertise within a reasonable timeframe. Until suitable replacementstimeframe, which could be identified and hired,negatively affect our operations and financial condition.
Heightened focus on corporate responsibility, specifically related to environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) factors, may impose additional costs and expose us to risks that could adversely impact our financial condition and the price of our securities.
We are committed to sustainability and corporate responsibility, specifically related to environmental, social and governance factors. Some investors may use these factors to guide their investment strategies, and potential and current employees, vendors and business partners may consider these factors when establishing and extending relationships with us. We are focused on being a responsible corporate citizen and provide disclosure regarding our existing ESG programs within our ESG Policy and Corporate Citizenship Report, which is published on our website. The focus and activism related to ESG and related matters may constrain our business operations or increase expenses. Additionally, we may face reputational damage in the event our corporate responsibility initiatives do not meet the standards set by various constituencies, including those of third-party providers of corporate responsibility ratings and reports. Furthermore, should peer companies outperform us in such metrics, potential or current investors may elect to invest with our competitors and employees, vendors and business partners may choose not to do business with us, which could have an adverse impact on our financial condition and the price of our securities.
The cash available for distribution to shareholders may not be negatively affected.


sufficient to pay distributions at expected levels, nor can we assure you of our ability to make distributions in the future, and we may use borrowed funds to make cash distributions and/or may choose to make distributions in part payable in our common shares.
We depend on external capital to fund our capital needs.
To qualify as a REIT, we are required to distribute to our shareholders each year at least 90% of our “REIT taxable income” (determined before the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains). In order to eliminate U.S. federal income tax, we are required to distribute annually 100% of our net taxable income, including capital gains. Partly because of these distribution requirements, we may not be able to fund all future capital needs, including capital for property development, redevelopment and acquisitions, with income from operations. We therefore may have to rely on third-party sources of capital, which may or may not be available on favorable terms, if at all.  Any additional debt we incur will increase our leverage, expose us to the risk of default and may impose operating restrictions on us, and any additional equity we raise could be dilutive to existing shareholders.  Our access to third-party sources of capital depends on a number of things, including: 
general market conditions;
the market’s perception of our growth potential;
our current debt levels;
our current and potential future earnings;
our cash flow and cash distributions;
our ability to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes; and
the market price of our common shares.

If we cannot obtain capital from third-party sources, we may not be able to acquire or develop properties when strategic opportunities exist, satisfy our principal and interest obligations or make distributions to our shareholders. 
Our rights and the rights of our shareholders to take action against our trustees and officers are limited.
Maryland law provides that a director or officer has limited liability in that capacity if he or she performs his or her duties in good faith and in a manner that he or she reasonably believes to be in our best interests and that an ordinarily prudent person


in a like position would use under similar circumstances. Our declaration of trust and bylaws require us to indemnify our trustees and officers for actions taken by them in those capacities to the extent permitted by Maryland law. 
Our shareholders have limited ability to prevent us from making any changes to our policies that they believe could harm our business, prospects, operating results or share price.
Our investment, financing, borrowing and dividend policies and our policies with respect to all other activities, including growth, debt, capitalization and operations, will be determined by our management and, in certain cases, approved by our Board of Trustees. These policies may be amended or revised from time to time at the discretion of our Board of Trustees without a vote of our shareholders. This means that our shareholders will have limited control over changes in our policies. Such changes in our policies intended to improve, expand or diversify our business may not have the anticipated effects and consequently may adversely affect our business and prospects, results of operations and share price. 
Our common share price could be volatile and could decline, resulting in a substantial or complete loss of our shareholders’ investment.
The stock markets (including The New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) on which we list our common shares) have experienced significant price and volume fluctuations. The market price of our common shares could be similarly volatile, and investors in our shares may experience a decrease in the value of their shares, including decreases unrelated to our operating performance or prospects. Among the market conditions that may affect the market price of our publicly traded securities are the following: 
our financial condition and operating performance and the performance of other similar companies;
actual or anticipated differences in our quarterly operating results;
changes in our revenues or earnings estimates or recommendations by securities analysts;
perceived or actual effects of e-commerce competition;
bankruptcy or negative publicity about one or more of our larger tenants;
our credit or analyst ratings;
publication by securities analysts of research reports about us, our industry, or the retail industry;
additions and departures of key personnel;
strategic decisions by us or our competitors, such as acquisitions, divestments, spin-offs, joint ventures, strategic investments or changes in business strategy;
the reputation of REITs generally and the reputation of REITs with portfolios similar to ours;
the attractiveness of the securities of REITs in comparison to securities issued by other entities (including securities issued by other real estate companies);
an increase in market interest rates, which may lead prospective investors to demand a higher distribution rate in relation to the price paid for our shares;
the passage of legislation or other regulatory developments that adversely affect us or our industry including tax reform;
speculation in the press or investment community;
actions by institutional shareholders, hedge funds or other investors;
increases or decreases in dividends;
changes in accounting principles;
terrorist acts; and
general market conditions, including factors unrelated to our performance.



 In the past, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against companies following periods of volatility in their stock price. This type of litigation could result in substantial costs and divert our management’s attention and resources. 
Changes in accounting standards may adversely impact our financial results.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”), in conjunction with the SEC, has issued and may issue key pronouncements that impact how we account for our material transactions, including, but not limited to, lease accounting, business combinations and the recognition of other revenues. We are unable to predict which, if any, proposals may be issued in the future or what level of impact any such proposal could have on the presentation of our consolidated financial statements, our results of operations and the financial ratio required by our debt covenants.

The cash available for distribution to shareholders may not be sufficient to pay distributions at expected levels, nor can we assure you of our ability to make distributions in the future. We may use borrowed funds to make cash distributions and/or may choose to make distributions in party payable in our common shares.
If cash available for distribution generated by our assets decreases in future periods from expected levels, our inability to make expected distributions could result in a decrease in the market price of our common shares. All distributions will be made at the discretion of our Board of Trustees and will depend on our earnings, our financial condition, maintenance of our REIT qualification and other factors as our Board of Trustees may deem relevant from time to time. We may not be able to make distributions in the future.future at current levels or at all. In addition, some of our distributions may include a return of capital. To the extent that we decide to make distributions in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits, such distributions would generally be considered a return of capital for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent of the holder’s adjusted tax basis in his or hertheir shares. A return of capital is not taxable, but it has the effect of reducing the holder’s adjusted tax basis in its investment. To the extent that distributions exceed the adjusted tax basis of a holder’s shares, they will be treated as gain from the sale or exchange of such shares. If we borrow to fund distributions, our future interest costs would increase, thereby reducing our earnings and cash available for distribution from what they otherwise would have been. Finally, although we do not currently intend to do so, in order to maintain our REIT qualification, we may make distributions that are in part payable in our common shares. Taxable shareholders receiving such distributions will be required to include the full amount of such distributions as ordinary dividend income to the extent of our current or accumulated earnings and profits and may be required to sell shares received in such distribution or may be required to sell other shares or assets owned by them, at a time that may be disadvantageous, in order to satisfy any tax imposed on such distribution. If a significant number of our shareholders determine to sell common shares in order to pay taxes owed on dividend income, such sale may put downward pressure on the market price of our common shares.

Future offerings of debt securities, which would be senior to our equity securities, may adversely affect the market prices of our common shares.
In the future, we may attempt to increase our capital resources by making offerings of debt securities, including unsecured notes, medium term notes, and senior or subordinated notes.notes, as well as debt securities that are convertible into equity. Holders of our debt securities will generally be entitled to receive interest payments, both current and in connection with any liquidation or sale, prior to the holders of our common shares being entitled to receive distributions.shares. Future offerings of debt securities, or the perception that such offerings may occur, may reduce the market pricesprice of our common shares and/or the distributions that we pay with respect to our
22


common shares. Because we may generally issue such debt securities in the future without obtaining the consent of our shareholders, our shareholders will bear the risk of our future offerings reducing the market prices of our equity securities.
If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, or if they downgrade their recommendations regarding our common shares, our share price and trading volume could be negatively affected.RISKSRELATED TO TAX MATTERS 
If the Merger does not qualify as a reorganization, there may be adverse tax consequences.
The trading market for our shares is influenced byparties intend that the research and reports that industry or securities analysts publish about us or our business. If anyMerger will be treated as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the analysts who cover us downgrade ourCode, and it was a condition to the Merger that we and RPAI received opinions from each party’s respective counsel to the effect that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Merger constitutes a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. These tax opinions represent the legal judgment of counsel rendering the opinion and are not binding on the Internal Revenue Service or the courts. If the Merger were to fail to qualify as a reorganization, U.S. holders of shares of RPAI common stock generally would recognize gain or loss, as applicable, equal to the difference between (i) the sum of the fair market value of the Company’s common shares or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our share price may decline. If analysts cease coverageand cash in lieu of us or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibilityfractional common shares of the Company received by such holder in the financial markets, whichMerger; and (ii) such holder’s adjusted tax basis in turn could cause ourits RPAI common share pricestock.
We may incur adverse tax consequences if we fail, or trading volume to decline and our shares to be less liquid. An inactive market may also impair our ability to raise capital by selling shares and may impair our ability to acquire additional properties or other businesses by using our shares as consideration, which in turn could materially adversely affect our business. In addition, the stock market in general, and the NYSE and REITs in particular, have within the last year experienced significant price and volume fluctuations. These broad market and industry factors may decrease the market price of our shares, regardless of our actual operating performance. For these reasons, among others, the market price of our shares may decline substantially and quickly. 


TAX RISKS
Failure of our companyRPAI has failed, to qualify as a REIT would have serious adverse consequences to us and our shareholders.
for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
We believe that we have qualified for taxation as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2004.  We2004, and that RPAI had operated in a manner that allowed it to qualify as a REIT, and we intend to operate in a manner we believe allows us to continue to meet the requirements for qualification and taxationqualify as a REIT but we cannot assure shareholders that we will qualify as a REIT.for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We have not requested and do not plan to request a ruling from the IRS that we qualify as a REIT, and the statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are not binding on the IRS or any court. AsQualification as a REIT we generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on our income that we distribute currently to our shareholders. Manyinvolves the application of the REIT requirements, however, are highly technical and complex.complex provisions of the Code for which there are only limited judicial and administrative interpretations. The determination that we are a REIT requires an analysis of various factual matters and circumstances that may not be totallyentirely within our control. For example,control may affect our ability to qualify as a REIT, at least 95% of our gross income must come from specific passive sources, such as rent, that are itemized in the REIT tax laws.REIT. In addition,order to qualify as a REIT, we cannot own specified amountsand RPAI must satisfy a number of debtrequirements, including the ownership of our stock and equity securitiesthe composition of some issuers. We also are requiredour gross income and assets. Also, a REIT must make distributions to distribute to our shareholders with respect to each yearaggregating annually at least 90% of our “REITits net taxable income” (determined before the deduction for dividends paid and excludingincome (excluding any net capital gains). The fact that we hold substantially all of our assets through our Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries and joint ventures further complicates the application of the REIT requirements for us. Even a technical or inadvertent mistake could jeopardize our REIT status, and, given the highly complex nature of the rules governing REITs and the ongoing importance of factual determinations, we cannot provide any assurance that we will continue to qualify as a REIT. Furthermore, Congress and the IRS might make changes to the tax laws and regulations, and the courts might issue new ruling, that make it more difficult, or impossible, for us to remain qualified as a REIT. 
If we fail to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes and are unable to avail ourselves of certain savings provisions set forth in the Code:Code, we will face serious tax consequences that would substantially reduce our cash available for distribution because:

Wewe would be taxedsubject to U.S. federal income tax on our net income at regular corporate rates for the years we did not qualify for taxation as a non-REIT "C" corporation, which under current laws, among other things, meansREIT (and, for such years, would not being able to takebe allowed a deduction for distributionsdividends paid to shareholders in computing our taxable income or pass through long term capital gains to individual shareholders at favorable rates and beingincome);
we could be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax (for taxable years beginning before December 31, 2017) and possibly increased state and local taxes;taxes for such periods;

We would not be ableunless we are entitled to relief under applicable statutory provisions, neither the Company nor any “successor” corporation, trust or association could elect to be taxed as a REIT for four yearsuntil the fifth taxable year following the year during which we first failedwere disqualified;
if we were to qualify. Since we are the successor to Inland Diversified Real Estate Trust, Inc. ("Inland Diversified") for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of its merger with us (the "Merger"), the rule against re-electingre-elect REIT status, following a loss of such status also would apply to us if Inland Diversified failed to qualify as a REIT in any of its 2012 through 2014 tax years.  Although Inland Diversified believed that it was organized and operated in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT for each of its taxable years prior to the Merger, Inland Diversified did not request a ruling from the IRS that it qualified as a REIT, and thus no assurance can be given that it qualified as a REIT;

Wewe would have to pay significant income taxes, which would reduce our net earnings available for investment or distribution to our shareholders. Moreover, such failure would cause an event of default under our unsecured revolving credit facility and unsecured term loans and may adversely affect our ability to raise capital and to service our debt.  This likely would have a significant adverse effect on ourdistribute all earnings and profits from non-REIT years before the valueend of our securities. In addition,the first new REIT taxable year; and
for the five years following re-election of REIT status, upon a taxable disposition of an asset owned as of such re-election, we would no longer be requiredsubject to paycorporate level tax with respect to any distributions to shareholders; andbuilt-in gain inherent in such asset at the time of re-election.

We would be required to pay penalty taxes of $50,000 or more for each such failure.  

If Inland Diversified failed to qualify as aEven if we retain our REIT status, if RPAI loses its REIT status for a taxable year before the Merger, orwe will face serious tax consequences that would substantially reduce our cash available for distribution because:
unless we are entitled to relief under applicable statutory provisions, the Company, as the “successor” trust to RPAI, could not elect to be taxed as a REIT until the fifth taxable year following the year during which RPAI was disqualified;
23


the Company, as the successor by merger to RPAI, would be subject to any corporate income tax liabilities of RPAI, including penalties and interest;
assuming that includeswe otherwise maintained our REIT qualification, we would be subject to tax on the built-in gain on each asset of RPAI existing at the time of the Merger and no relief is available, in connection withif we were to dispose of the MergerRPAI asset for up to five years following the Merger; and
assuming that we otherwise maintained our REIT qualification, we would succeed to any earnings and profits accumulated by Inland DiversifiedRPAI for the taxable periods that it did not qualify as a REIT, and we would have to pay a special dividend and/or employ applicable deficiency dividend procedures (including significant interest payments to the IRS) to eliminate such earnings and profits.
In addition, if there is an adjustment to RPAI’s taxable income or dividends paid deductions, we could elect to use the deficiency dividend procedure in order to maintain RPAI’s REIT status. That deficiency dividend procedure could require us to make significant distributions to our shareholders and pay significant interest to the IRS.
As a result of these factors, our failure (before or after the Merger), or RPAI’s failure (before the Merger), to qualify as a REIT could impair our ability to expand our business and raise capital, and would materially adversely affect the value of our common shares.
We will pay some taxes even if we qualify as a REIT.
Even if we qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we will be required to pay certain U.S. federal, state and local taxes on our income and property. For example, we will be subject to income tax to the extent we distribute less than 100% of our REIT taxable income (including capital gains). Additionally, we will be subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax on


the amount, if any, by which dividends paid by us in any calendar year are less than the sum of 85% of our ordinary income, 95% of our capital gain net income and 100% of our undistributed income from prior years. Moreover, if we have net income from “prohibited transactions,” that income will be subject to a 100% penalty tax. In general, prohibited transactions are sales or other dispositions of property held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business. The determination as to whether a particular sale is a prohibited transaction depends on the facts and circumstances related to that sale. While we will undertake sales of assets if those assets become inconsistent with our long-term strategic or return objectives, we do not believe that those sales should be considered prohibited transactions, but there can be no assurance that the IRS would not contend otherwise. The need to avoid prohibited transactions could cause us to forego or defer sales of properties that might otherwise be in our best interest to sell. 
In addition, any net taxable income earned directly by our taxable REIT subsidiaries,TRS, or through entities that are disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes as entities separate from our taxable REIT subsidiaries,TRS, will be subject to U.S. federal and possibly state corporate income tax. We have elected to treat Kite Realty Holdings, LLC as a taxable REIT subsidiary,TRS, and we may elect to treat other subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries in the future. In this regard, several provisions of the laws applicable to REITs and their subsidiaries ensure that a taxable REIT subsidiaryTRS will be subject to an appropriate level of U.S. federal income taxation. For example, a taxable REIT subsidiaryTRS is limited in its ability to deduct interest payments made to an affiliated REIT. In addition, the REIT has to pay a 100% penalty tax on some payments that it receives or on some deductions taken by the taxable REIT subsidiaries if the economic arrangements between the REIT, the REIT’s tenants, and the taxable REIT subsidiaryTRS are not comparable to similar arrangements between unrelated parties. Finally, some state and local jurisdictions may tax some of our income even though as a REIT we are not subject to U.S. federal income tax on that income because not all states and localities treat REITs the same way they are treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes. To the extent that we and our affiliates are required to pay U.S. federal, state and local taxes, we will have less cash available for distributions to our shareholders. 
If Inland Diversified failed to qualify as a REIT for a taxable year before the Merger or the taxable year that includes the Merger and no relief is available, as a result of the Merger (a) we would inherit any corporate tax liabilities of Inland Diversified for Inland Diversified’s open tax years possibly extending back six years or Inland Diversified’s 2013 and 2014 tax years and (b) we would be subject to tax on the built-in gain on each asset of Inland Diversified existing at the time of the Merger if we were to dispose of the Inland Diversified asset within five years following the Merger (i.e. before  July 1, 2019). 
REIT distribution requirements may increase our indebtedness.
We may be required from time to time, under certain circumstances, to accrue income for tax purposes that has not yet been received. In such event, or upon our repayment of principal on debt, we could have taxable income without sufficient cash to enable us to meet the distribution requirements of a REIT. Accordingly, we could be required to borrow funds or liquidate investments on adverse terms in order to meet these distribution requirements. Additionally, the sale of properties resulting in significant tax gains could require higher distributions to our shareholders or payment of additional income taxes in order to maintain our REIT status.

Complying with REIT requirements may limit our ability to hedge effectively and may cause us to incur tax liabilities.
The REIT provisions of the Code may limit our ability to hedge our assets and operations. Under these provisions, any income that we generate from transactions intended to hedge our interest rate risk will be excluded from gross income for purposes of the REIT 75% and 95% gross income tests if the instrument hedges interest rate risk on liabilities used to carry or acquire real estate assets or manages the risk of certain currency fluctuations, and such instrument is properly identified under applicable Treasury Regulations. Income from hedging transactions that do not meet these requirements will generally constitute non-qualifying income for purposes of both the REIT 75% and 95% gross income tests. As a result of these rules, we may have to limit our use of hedging techniques that might otherwise be advantageous or implement those hedges through a taxable REIT subsidiary.
24


TRS. This could increase the cost of our hedging activities because our taxable REIT subsidiaryTRS would be subject to tax on gains or expose us to greater risks associated with changes in interest rates than we would otherwise want to bear. In addition, losses in our taxable REIT subsidiary will generally not provide any tax benefit, except for being carried back or forward against past or future taxable income in the taxable REIT subsidiary, provided, however, losses in our taxable REIT subsidiary arising in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017 may only be carried forward and may only be deducted against 80% of future taxable income in the taxable REIT subsidiary. 
Complying with the REIT requirements may cause us to forgo and/or liquidate otherwise attractive investments.
To qualify as a REIT, we must continually satisfy tests concerning, among other things, (i) the sources of our income, (ii) the nature and diversification of our assets, (iii) the amounts that we distribute to our shareholders, and (iv) the ownership of our shares. ToIn order to meet these tests, we may be required to take actions we would otherwise prefer not to take or forgo taking actions that we would otherwise consider advantageous. For instance, in order to satisfy the gross income or asset tests applicable to REITs


under the Code, we may be required to forgo investments that we might otherwise would make. Furthermore, we may be required tomake or liquidate from our portfolio investments that otherwise attractive investments.would be considered attractive. In addition, we may be required to make distributions to shareholders at disadvantageous times or when we do not have funds readily available for distribution.available. These actions could reduce our income and amounts available for distribution to our shareholders. Thus, compliance with the REIT requirements may hinder our investment performance.
Dividends paid by REITs generally do not qualify for effective tax rates as low as dividends paid by non-REIT "C"“C” corporations.
The maximum rate applicable to “qualified dividend income” paid by non-REIT “C” corporations to certain non-corporate U.S. shareholders has been reduced by legislation to 23.8% (taking into account the 3.8% Medicare tax applicable to net investment income). Dividends payable by REITs, however, generally are not eligible for the reduced rates. Effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017 and before January 1, 2026, non-corporate shareholders may deduct 20% of their dividends from REITs (excluding qualified dividend income and capital gains dividends). For non-corporate shareholders in the top marginal tax bracket of 37%, the deduction for REIT dividends yields an effective income tax rate of 29.6% on REIT dividends, which is higher than the 20% tax rate on qualified dividend income paid by non-REIT “C” corporations. This does not adversely affect the taxation of REITs, however, it could cause certain non-corporate investors to perceive investments in REITs to be relatively less attractive than investments in the shares of non-REIT “C” corporations that pay dividends, which could adversely affect the value of our common shares.
If a transaction intended to qualify as an Internal Revenue Code Section 1031 tax-deferred exchange (a “1031 Exchange”) is later determined to be taxable, we may face adverse consequences.
From time to time, we may dispose of properties in transactions that are intended to qualify as 1031 Exchanges. It is possible that the qualification of a transaction as a 1031 Exchange could be challenged and determined to be currently taxable. In such case, our taxable income and earnings and profits would increase, which could increase the income applicable to our shareholders, which may require additional distributions to shareholders or, in lieu of that, require us to pay corporate income tax, possibly including interest and penalties. Moreover, it is possible that legislation could be enacted that could modify or repeal the laws with respect to 1031 Exchanges, which could make it more difficult or impossible for us to dispose of properties on a tax-deferred basis.
If the Operating Partnership fails to qualify as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we could fail to qualify as a REIT and suffer other adverse consequences.
consequences.
We believe that our Operating Partnership is organized and operated in a manner so as to be treated as a partnership and not an association or a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a partnership, our Operating Partnership is not subject to U.S. federal income tax on its income. Instead, each of the partners is allocated its share of our Operating Partnership’s income. No assurance can be provided, however, that the IRS will not challenge our Operating Partnership’s status as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes or that a court would not sustain such a challenge. If the IRS waswere successful in treating our Operating Partnership as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we would fail to meet the gross income tests and certain of the asset tests applicable to REITs and, accordingly, would cease to qualify as a REIT. Also, the failure of the Operating Partnership to qualify as a partnership would cause it to become subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax, which would reduce significantly the amount of its cash available for distribution to its partners, including us.

There is a risk that the tax laws applicable to REITs may change.
The IRS, the United StatesU.S. Treasury Department and Congress frequently review U.S. federal income tax legislation, regulations and other guidance. The Company cannot predict whether, when or to what extent new U.S. federal tax laws, regulations, interpretations or rulings will be adopted. Any legislative action may prospectively or retroactively modify the Company'sCompany’s tax treatment and, therefore, may adversely affect our taxation or the taxation of our shareholders. We urge you to consult with your tax advisor with respect to the status of legislative, regulatory or administrative developments and proposals and their potential effect on an investment in our stock. Although REITs generally receive certain tax advantages compared to entities taxed as non-REIT “C” corporations, it is possible that future legislation would result in a REIT having fewer tax advantages, and it could become more advantageous for a company that invests in real estate to elect to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a non-REIT “C” corporation.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are not subject to any material litigation nor, to management’s knowledge, is any material litigation currently threatened against us. We are parties to routine litigation, claims, and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of


business. Management believes that such matters will not have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows taken as a whole.
As previously disclosed in our joint proxy statement/prospectus, beginning on August 27, 2021, two purported RPAI stockholders filed substantially similar complaints against RPAI and the members of the RPAI board of directors (the “RPAI Board”) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. One of these complaints also named Kite Realty and Merger Sub as defendants. The complaints were captioned as follows: Wang v. Retail Properties of America, Inc. et al., No. 1:21-cv-07237 (S.D.N.Y. filed August 27, 2021); and Hopkins v. Retail Properties of America, Inc. et al., No. 1:21-cv-07324 (S.D.N.Y. filed August 31, 2021). The complaints variously asserted, among other things, claims under Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Rule 14a-9 promulgated thereunder against RPAI and the members of the RPAI Board and claims under Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act against the members of the RPAI Board (and, in one case, Kite Realty and Merger Sub) for allegedly causing a materially incomplete and misleading registration statement on Form S-4 to be filed on August 23, 2021 with the SEC. Four additional lawsuits were filed against RPAI and the members of the RPAI Board between September 14, 2021 and October 8, 2021 under the captions Callebs v. Retail Properties of America, Inc. et al., No. 1:21-cv-07593 (S.D.N.Y. filed September 10, 2021); Sheridan v. Retail Properties of America, Inc., et al., No. 1:21-cv-04066-SCJ (N.D.Ga. filed October 1, 2021); Whitfield v. Retail Properties of America, Inc. et al., No. 2:21-cv-04390 (E.D.Pa. filed October 6, 2021); and Reinhardt v Retail Properties of America, Inc. et al., No. 1:21-cv-04187 (N.D. Ga. filed October 8, 2021), which were substantially similar to the other two complaints. Also, on September 15, 2021, a purported Kite Realty shareholder filed a complaint against Kite Realty and the members of the Kite Realty board of trustees in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, captioned as follows: Gentry v. Kite Realty Group Trust et al., No. 1:21-cv-05142 (E.D.N.Y. filed September 15, 2021). The complaint asserted substantially similar claims under Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14a-9 as the other complaints against RPAI and the RPAI Board.
Plaintiffs sought, among other things, to enjoin or rescind the Merger, an award of damages in the event the Merger was consummated, and an award of costs and attorneys’ fees. Subsequent to completion of the RPAI merger, and subsequent to December 31, 2021, the lawsuits described in the preceding paragraph were voluntarily dismissed. We believe that the claims asserted in the actions were without merit.

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

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto and Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. In this discussion, unless the context suggests otherwise, references to “our Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” mean Kite Realty Group Trust and its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including Kite Realty Group, L.P.
Overview
In the following overview, we discuss, among other things, the status of our business and properties, the effect that current United StatesU.S. economic conditions is having on our retail tenants and us, and the current state of the financial markets and how it impacts our financing strategy.
Our Business and Properties
Kite Realty Group Trust is a publicly-heldpublicly held real estate investment trust which, through its majority-owned subsidiary, Kite Realty Group, L.P., owns interests in various operating subsidiaries and joint ventures engaged in the ownership, and operation, acquisition, development and redevelopment of high-quality, neighborhoodopen-air shopping centers and community shopping centersmixed-use assets in select markets in the United States. We derive revenues primarily from activities associated with the collection of contractual rents and reimbursement payments from tenants at our properties. OurTherefore, our operating results therefore depend materially on, among other things, the ability of our tenants to make required lease payments, the health and resilience of the United StatesU.S. retail sector, interest rate volatility, job growth and real estate market and overall economic conditions.
As of December 31, 2019,2021, we owned interests in 90180 operating and redevelopmentretail properties totaling approximately 17.429.0 million square feet and one office property with 0.3 million square feet. Of the 180 operating retail properties, 11 contain an office component. We also owned oneeight development projectprojects under construction as of this date.
Merger with RPAI
On October 22, 2021, we completed the merger with RPAI in accordance with the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated July 18, 2021 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, its wholly owned subsidiary KRG Oak, LLC (“Merger Sub”) and RPAI, pursuant to which RPAI merged with and into Merger Sub (the “Merger”). Immediately following the closing of the Merger, Merger Sub merged with and into the Operating Partnership so that all of the assets and liabilities of the Company continue to be held at or below the Operating Partnership level. As a result of the Merger, we acquired 100 operating retail properties and five active development projects along with multiple parcels of entitled land for future value creation, creating a top five open-air shopping center REIT. The combined high-quality, open-air portfolio is a mixture of predominantly necessity-based, grocery-anchored neighborhood and community centers, combined with vibrant mixed-use assets. The Merger serves to more than double the Company’s presence in high-growth markets that have mild or temperate climates and no or relatively low income taxes, while also introducing and/or enhancing its presence in strategic gateway markets. In addition, the combined company has additional opportunities to further increase shareholder value, including leasing of pandemic-related vacancies, optimizing NOI margins, lowering the Company’s cost of capital, and completing select development projects. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, each outstanding share of RPAI common stock converted into the right to receive 0.623 common shares of the Company plus cash in lieu of fractional Company shares. The Operating Partnership issued an equivalent amount of General Partner Units to the Parent Company.
Portfolio Update
As has become more evident since the COVID-19 pandemic began and as we began to operate as a combined company, high-quality real estate located in high-quality markets matters. Open-air centers are thriving for a variety of reasons including their ability to act as last mile fulfillment centers and their convenient and affordable nature for retailers and consumers. This includes conveniently located and easily accessible parking fields, lower operating costs as compared to other retail formats, and essential anchors that drive daily trips. In addition, the Company’s property types are particularly suited for retailers’ current and evolving needs, including curbside pick-up and buying online and picking up in store (“BOPIS”), that we believe will benefit from tenant demand for additional space. The strength of the Company’s real estate is evidenced by our continued strong cash leasing spreads and ABR for the retail portfolio of $19.36 per square foot. The Company has continued to improve its asset quality and through its Merger with RPAI, acquired a refined portfolio of high-quality, open-air shopping centers and mixed-use assets.
34


In evaluating potential acquisition, development, and redevelopment opportunities, we look for strong sub-markets where average household income, educational attainment, population density, traffic counts and daytime workforce populations are above the broader market average. We also focus on locations that are benefittingbenefiting from current population migratory patterns, namely major cities in business-friendly states with no or relatively low income taxes, and mild or temperate climates. In our largest sub-markets, household incomes are significantly higher and state income taxes are relatively lower than the medians for thosethe broader markets. 
In February 2019, we announced a plan to market and sell up to $500 million in non-core assets as part of a program designed to improve the Company’s portfolio quality, reduce its leverage, and focus operations on markets where we believe the Company can gain scale and generate attractive risk-adjusted returns. This program ("Project Focus 2019") was completed in October 2019. The majority of the net proceeds were used to repay debt, further strengthening our balance sheet.



In addition to the delevering, we improved the quality of our portfolio. We increased the ABR of our portfolio to $17.83 as the retail assets sold had a weighted average ABR of $14.66, which is significantly lower than our current portfolio.

In addition to targeting sub-markets with strong consumer demographics, we focus on having the most desirable tenant mix at each center. We have aggressively targeted and executed leases with prominent grocers including Publix, Aldi, Whole Foods, and Trader Joe's,Joe’s, expanding retailers such as TJ Maxx, Ross Dress for Less, Burlington, and Old Navy, service and restaurant retailers such as and other retailers such as Ulta Beauty, REI, Party CityFive Below and Total Wine. Additionally, we have identified cost-efficient ways to relocate, re-tenant and renegotiate leases at several of our properties allowing us to attract more suitable tenants.
Capital and Financing Activities
Our ability to obtain capital on satisfactory terms and to refinance borrowings as they mature is affected by the condition of the economy in general and by the financial strength of properties securing borrowings. 
With the successful completion of Project Focus in 2019,In 2021, we were able to enhance our already-strong balance sheet, increase our financial flexibility, and improve our liquidity to fund future growth.growth with our transformative Merger with RPAI. Prior to the Merger, we had taken various steps to enhance our liquidity, including the issuance of $175.0 million of Exchangeable Notes in the first quarter of 2021 to proactively fund our 2022 debt maturities. We ended the year2021 with approximately $614.8 million$1.0 billion of combined cash and borrowing capacity on our unsecured revolving credit facility.Revolving Facility. In addition, as of December 31, 2019,2021, we did not have anyhad $153.5 million of debt principal scheduled to mature through December 31, 2021.

2022 that we expect to retire using cash on hand and short-term deposits.
The amount that we may borrow under our unsecured revolving credit facility is limited by the value of the assets in our unencumbered asset pool.  As of December 31, 2019, the value of the assets in our unencumbered asset pool was $1.4 billion.

Thethree investment grade credit ratings we have receivedmaintain provide us with access to the unsecured public bond market, which we may continue to use in the future to finance acquisition activity, repay maturing debt and fix interest rates.
Summary of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. As disclosed in Note 2, the preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We believe that the following discussion addresses our most critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to the compilation of our financial condition and results of operations and, in some cases, require management’s most difficult, subjective, and complex judgments. 
Valuation of Investment Properties
Management reviews operational and development projects, land parcels and intangible assets for impairment on a property-by-property basis on at least a quarterly basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. This review for possible impairment requires certain assumptions, estimates, and significant judgment. Impairment losses for investment properties and intangible assets are measured when the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by the investment properties during the expected holding period are less than the carrying amounts of those assets. The evaluation of impairment is subject to certain management assumptions including projected net operating income, anticipated hold period, expected capital expenditures and the capitalization rate used to estimate the property's residual value. Impairment losses are recorded as the excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair value of the asset. Our impairment review for land and development properties assumes we have the intent and the ability to complete the developments or projected uses for the land parcels. If we determine those plans will not be completed or our assumptions with respect to operating assets are not realized, an impairment loss may be appropriate.
Depreciation may be accelerated for a redevelopment project, including partial demolition of existing structures after the asset is assessed for impairment. 
Operating properties will be classified as held for sale only when those properties are available for immediate sale in their present condition and for which management believes it is probable that a sale of the property will be completed within one year, among other factors. Operating properties classified as held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Depreciation and amortization are suspended during the held-for-sale period.
Our operating properties have operations and cash flows that can be clearly distinguished from the rest of our activities. Historically, the operations reported in discontinued operations include those operating properties that were sold or were considered


held for sale and for which operations and cash flows can be clearly distinguished. The operations from these properties are eliminated from ongoing operations, and we will not have a continuing involvement after disposition. In 2014, we adopted the provisions of ASU 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, which will result in fewer real estate sales being classified within discontinued operations, as only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations will be presented as discontinued operations.  No properties that have been sold, or designated as held-for-sale, since the adoption of ASU 2014-08, have met the revised criteria for classification within discontinued operations.

Acquisition of Real Estate Investments
Upon acquisition of real estate operating properties, we estimate the fair value of acquired identifiable tangible assets and identified intangible assets and liabilities, assumed debt, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the date of acquisition, based on evaluation of information and estimates available at that date.  Based on these estimates, we record the estimated fair value to the applicable assets and liabilities.  In making estimates of fair values, a number of sources are utilized, including information obtained as a result of pre-acquisition due diligence, marketing and leasing activities. The estimates of fair value were determined to have primarily relied upon Level 2 and Level 3 inputs, as defined below.

Fair value is determined for tangible assets and intangibles, including:   
the fair value of the building on an as-if-vacant basis and the fair value of land determined either by comparable market data, real estate tax assessments, independent appraisals or other relevant data;
above-market and below-market in-place lease values for acquired properties, which are based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over the remaining non-cancelable term of the leases.  Any below-market renewal options are also considered in the in-place lease values.  The capitalized above-market and below-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of or addition to rental income over the term of the lease.  Should a tenant vacate, terminate its lease, or otherwise notify us of its intent to do so, the unamortized portion of the lease intangibles would be charged or credited to income;
the value of having a lease in place at the acquisition date.  We utilize independent and internal sources for our estimates to determine the respective in-place lease values.  Our estimates of value are made using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers.  Factors we consider in our analysis include an estimate of costs to execute similar leases including tenant improvements, leasing commissions and foregone costs and rent received during the estimated lease-up period as if the space was vacant.  The value of in-place leases is amortized to expense over the remaining initial terms of the respective leases; and
the fair value of any assumed financing that is determined to be above or below market terms.  We utilize third party and independent sources for our estimates to determine the respective fair value of each mortgage payable.  The fair market value of each mortgage payable is amortized to interest expense over the remaining initial terms of the respective loan.

We also consider whether there is any value to in-place leases that have a related customer relationship intangible value.  Characteristics we consider in determining these values include the nature and extent of existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenant’s credit quality, and expectations of lease renewals, among other factors.  To date, a tenant relationship has not been developed that is considered to have a current intangible value.
Revenue Recognition
As a lessor of real estate assets, the Company retains substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership and accounts for its leases as operating leases.  
Contractual minimum base rent, percentage rent, and expense reimbursements from tenants for common area maintenance costs, insurance and real estate taxes are our principal sources of revenue.  Base minimum rents are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases.  Certain lease agreements contain provisions that grant additional rents based on a tenant’s sales volume (contingent overage rent). Overage rent is recognized when tenants achieve the specified sales targets as defined in their lease agreements.  Overage rent is included in rental income in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2019. If we determine that collectibility is probable, we recognize income from rentals


based on the methodology described above. We have accounts receivable due from tenants and are subject to the risk of tenant defaults and bankruptcies that may affect the collection of outstanding receivables. These receivables are reduced for credit loss that is recognized as a reduction to rental income. We regularly evaluate the collectibility of these lease-related receivables by analyzing past due account balances and consider such facts as the credit quality of our customer, historical write-off experience, tenant credit-worthiness and current economic trends when evaluating the collectibility of rental income. Although we estimate uncollectible receivables and provide for them through charges against income, actual experience may differ from those estimates.  
We recognize the sale of real estate when control transfers to the buyer.  As part of our ongoing business strategy, we will, from time to time, sell land parcels and outlots, some of which are ground leased to tenants.

Fair Value Measurements
We follow the framework established under accounting standard FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, for measuring fair value of non-financial assets and liabilities that are not required or permitted to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis but only in certain circumstances, such as a business combination or upon determination of impairment.

Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets are categorized based on the inputs to the valuation techniques as follows:

Level 1 fair value inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments to which we have access.

Level 2 fair value inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for similar instruments, either directly or indirectly, and appropriately consider counterparty creditworthiness in the valuations.

Level 3 fair value inputs reflect our best estimate of inputs and assumptions market participants would use in pricing an instrument at the measurement date. The inputs are unobservable in the market and significant to the valuation estimate. 

In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. As discussed in Note 8 to the Financial Statements, we have determined that derivative valuations are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, escrows and deposits, and other working capital balances approximate fair value.  

Note 6 to the Financial Statements includes a discussion of the fair values recorded when we recognized impairment charges in 2019, 2018 and 2017. Level 3 inputs to these transactions include our estimations of disposal values.

Income Taxes and REIT Compliance
Parent Company

The Parent Company, which is considered a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, has been organized and intends to continue to operate in a manner that will enable it to maintain its qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. As a result, it generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the earnings that it distributes to the extent it distributes its “REIT taxable income” (determined before the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains) to shareholders of the Parent Company and meets certain other requirements on a recurring basis. To the extent that it satisfies this distribution requirement, but distributes less than 100% of its taxable income, it will be subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax on its undistributed REIT taxable income. REITs are subject to a number of organizational and operational requirements. If the Parent Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate rates for a period of four years following the year in which qualification is lost. We may also be subject to certain U.S. federal, state and local taxes on our income and property and to federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed taxable income even if the Parent Company does qualify as a REIT. The Operating Partnership intends to continue to make distributions to the Parent Company in amounts sufficient to assist the Parent Company in adhering to REIT requirements and maintaining its REIT status.



We have elected to treat Kite Realty Holdings, LLC as a taxable REIT subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, and we may elect to treat other subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries in the future. This election enables us to receive income and provide services that would otherwise be impermissible for a REIT. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are established for temporary differences between the financial reporting bases and the tax bases of assets and liabilities at the tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

Operating Partnership

The allocated share of income and loss, other than the operations of our taxable REIT subsidiary, is included in the income tax returns of the Operating Partnership's partners. Accordingly, the only U.S. federal income taxes included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements are in connection with the taxable REIT subsidiary.

Inflation
Inflation rates have been near historical lows in recent years and, therefore, have not had a significant impact on our results of operations. Most of our leases contain provisions designed to mitigate the adverse impact of inflation by requiring the tenant to pay its share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance, or include a fixed amount for these costs that escalates over time, thereby reducing our exposure to increases in operating expenses resulting from inflation. Also, most of our leases have original terms of fewer than ten years, which enables us to adjust rental rates to market upon lease renewal. 
Results of Operations

As of December 31, 2019,2021, we owned interests in 90180 operating retail properties, one office property and redevelopment properties and oneeight development projectprojects currently under construction. Of the 180 operating retail properties, 11 contain an office component. The following table sets forth the total operating and redevelopment properties and development projects that we owned as of December 31, 2019, 20182021, 2020 and 2017:2019:

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

 Net Operating Income and Same Property Net Operating Income

We use property net operating income (“NOI”), a non-GAAP financial measure, to evaluate the performance of our properties. We define NOI as income from our real estate, including lease termination fees received from tenants, less our property operating expenses. NOI excludes amortization of capitalized tenant improvement costs and leasing commissions and certain corporate level expenses.expenses, including merger and acquisition costs. We believe that NOI is helpful to investors as a measure of our operating performance because it excludes various items included in net income that do not relate to or are not indicative of our operating performance, such as depreciation and amortization, interest expense, and impairment, if any.

We also use same property NOI ("(“Same Property NOI"NOI”), a non-GAAP financial measure, to evaluate the performance of our retail properties. Same Property NOI excludes properties that have not been owned for the full period presented. It also excludes net gains from outlot sales, straight-line rent revenue, lease termination fees,income in excess of lost rent, amortization of lease intangibles and significant prior period expense recoveries and adjustments, if any. When we receive payments in excess of any accounts receivable for terminating a lease, Same Property NOI will include such excess payments as monthly rent until the earlier of the expiration of 12 months or the start date of a replacement tenant. We believe that Same Property NOI is helpful to investors as a measure of our operating performance because it includes only the NOI of properties that have been owned for the full period presented, whichpresented. We believe such presentation eliminates disparities in net income due to the acquisition or disposition of properties during the particular periodperiods presented and thus provides a more consistent metric for the comparison of our properties. Full year Same Property NOI representsincludes the sumresults of properties that have been owned for the four quarters, as reported.

entire current and prior year reporting periods.
NOI and Same Property NOI should not, however, be considered as alternatives to net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP) as indicators of our financial performance. Our computation of NOI and Same Property NOI may differ from the methodology used by other REITs and, therefore, may not be comparable to such other REITs.

When evaluating the properties that are included in the same property pool, we have established specific criteria for determining the inclusion of properties acquired or those recently under development. An acquired property is included in the same property pool when there is a full quarter of operations in both years subsequent to the acquisition date. Development and redevelopment properties are included in the same property pool four full quarters after the properties have been transferred to the operating portfolio. A redevelopment property is first excluded from the same property pool when the execution of a redevelopment plan is likely and we (a) begin recapturing space from tenants.tenants or (b) the contemplated plan significantly impacts the operations of the property. At December 31, 2019,2021, the same property pool excluded four properties in redevelopment, one(i) the recently completed Glendale Town Center and Eddy Street Commons – Phase II development projects, (ii) eight active development and redevelopment one acquired property,projects, (iii) the 2020 acquisition of Eastgate Crossing, (iv) the legacy RPAI portfolio, and three commercial(v) office properties.

Funds From Operations
Funds from Operations ("FFO"(“FFO”) is a widely used performance measure for real estate companies and is provided here as a supplemental measure of operating performance. We calculate FFO, a non-GAAP financial measure, in accordance with the best practices described in the April 2002 National Policy Bulletin of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"(“NAREIT”), as restated in 2018. The NAREIT white paper defines FFO as net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding depreciation and amortization related to real estate, gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets, gains and losses from change in control, and impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity.

Considering the nature of our business as a real estate owner and operator, the Company believes that FFO is helpful to investors in measuring our operational performance because it excludes various items included in net income that do not


relate to or are not indicative of our operating performance, such as gains or losses from sales of depreciated property and depreciation and amortization, which can make periodic and peer analyses of operating performance more difficult. FFO excludes the gain on the sale of the ground lease portfolios as these sales were part of our capital strategy distinct from our ongoing operating strategy of selling individual land parcels from time to time. FFO (a) should not be considered as an alternative to net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP) for the purpose of measuring our financial performance, (b) is not an alternative to cash flow from operating activities (calculated in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our liquidity, and (c) is not indicative of funds available to satisfy our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions. Our computation of FFO may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not define the term in accordance with the

Earnings before Interest, Tax, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA)
We define EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, as net income before depreciation and amortization, interest expense and income tax expense of taxable REIT subsidiary.the TRS. For informational purposes, we have also providedprovide Adjusted EBITDA, which we define as EBITDA less (i) EBITDA from unconsolidated entities, (ii) gains on sales of operating properties or impairment charges, (iii) merger and acquisition costs, (iv) other income and expense, (iv)(v) noncontrolling interest EBITDA, and (v)(vi) other non-recurring activity or items impacting comparability from period to period. Annualized Adjusted EBITDA is Adjusted EBITDA for the most recent quarter multiplied by four. Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA is our share of net debt divided by Annualized Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Annualized Adjusted EBITDA and Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA, as calculated by us, are not comparable to EBITDA and EBITDA-related measures reported by other REITs that do not define EBITDA and EBITDA-related measures exactly as we do. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Annualized Adjusted EBITDA do not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered alternatives to net income as an indicator of performance or as alternatives to cash flows from operating activities as an indicator of liquidity.



Considering the nature of our business as a real estate owner and operator, we believe that EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and the ratio of Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA are helpful to investors in measuring our operational performance because they exclude various items included in net income that do not relate to or are not indicative of our operating performance, such as gains or losses from sales of depreciated property and depreciation and amortization, which can make periodic and peer analyses of operating performance more difficult. For informational purposes, we have also providedprovide Annualized Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted as described above. We believe this supplemental information provides a meaningful measure of our operating performance. We believe presenting EBITDA and the related measures in this manner allows investors and other interested parties to form a more meaningful assessment of our operating results.

The net increase of $6.0$13.4 million in rental income for properties that were fully operational during 20182020 and 20192021 is attributable to an increase in rental rates along with an increase in occupancy. Rental income for recently completed redevelopment projects and acquisitions increased $0.9 million primarily due to the completionimproved collection activity leading to a decrease in bad debt expense, which contributed a positive variance of Rampart Commons$10.7 million on billed rent and acquisition$5.1 million on straight-line rent. These positive variances were partially offset by lower base minimum rent of Nora Plaza. Tenant reimbursements increased $3.3$1.7 million from 2018 to 2019 due to an increase in vacancies driven by the COVID-19 pandemic. The occupancy as noted above. The Company's recovery levels of recoverable operating expensesthe fully operational properties declined from 92.0% for 2020 to 89.1% for 2021.

The Company has been able to continuecontinued to generate higher rents in its leasing process.on new leases and renewals. The average rents for new comparable leases signed in 20192021 were $21.62$21.38 per square foot compared to average expiring base rents of $15.96$17.22 per square foot in that period. The average base rents for renewals signed in 20192021 were $14.71$18.09 per square foot compared to average expiring base rents of $14.24$16.92 per square foot in that period.



Due to Project Focus For the entire portfolio, the spread between leased and occupied square footage is approximately 250 basis points and represents approximately $33.0 million of NOI that will come online in the current year leasing activity,future. In addition, the qualityABR per square foot of our operating retail portfolio continued to improve. This is evidenced by the increase in the annualized base rent per square footimprove, as it increased to $17.83$19.36 per square foot as of December 31, 20192021 from $16.84$18.42 per square foot as of December 31, 2018.2020.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Our primary finance and capital strategy is to maintain a strong balance sheet with sufficient flexibility to fund our operating and investment activities in a cost-effective manner. We consider a number of factors when evaluating our level of indebtedness and when making decisions regarding additional borrowings or equity offerings, including the estimated value of properties to be developedinterest or acquired,dividend rate, the estimated market value of our propertiesmaturity date and the Company’s debt maturity ladder, the impact of financial metrics such as overall Company as a whole upon placement of the borrowing or offering,leverage levels and coverage ratios, and the Company’s ability of particular properties to generate cash flow to cover debt service. We will continue to monitor the capital markets and may consider raising additional capital through the issuance of our common or preferred shares, unsecured debt securities, or other securities.
One of the benefits of the Merger was a strengthened balance sheet to provide the Company with increased liquidity, a well-staggered debt maturity ladder, and an appropriately sized development pipeline. As part of the Merger, we assumed an $850.0 million revolving line of credit, of which the borrowing capacity was $793.5 million as of December 31, 2021, along with other indebtedness.
Prior to the Merger, we had taken various steps to enhance our liquidity, including the issuance of $175.0 million of Exchangeable Notes in the first quarter of 2021 to proactively fund our 2022 debt maturities. In addition, we closed on multiple sales for net proceeds of $80.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2021, with the majority of the activity related to the sale of 17 ground leases and one operating property. As of December 31, 2021, we had approximately $93.2 million in cash on hand, $7.1 million in restricted cash and escrow deposits, $793.5 million of remaining availability under our Revolving Facility, $125.0 million of short-term deposits, and $153.5 million of debt maturities due in 2022. We believe we will have adequate liquidity over the next 12 months and beyond 2022 to operate our business and to meet our cash requirement. However, because we do not know the ultimate severity and length of the COVID-19 pandemic or the short- or long-term impact it may have on consumer behavior, and thus cannot predict the impact it will have on our tenants and on the debt and equity capital markets, we cannot estimate the ultimate impact it will have on our liquidity and capital resources.
Our Principal Capital Resources
For a discussion of cash generated from operations, see “Cash Flows,” beginning on page 59.46. In addition to cash generated from operations, we discuss below our other principal capital resources. resources are discussed below.
In February 2019,Over the last several years, we announced a plan to market and sell up to $500 millionhave made substantial progress in non-core assets as part of a program designed to improve the Company’s portfolio quality, reduce its leverage, and focus operations on markets where we believe the Company can gain scale and generate attractive risk-adjusted returns. This program ("Project Focus") was completed in October 2019. The majority of the net proceeds were used to repay debt, further strengthening its balance sheet.



The recently-completed Project Focus has enhancedenhancing our liquidity position reducedand reducing our leverage and reduced our borrowing costs. We continue to focus on a balanced approach to growth and staggering and extending debt maturities in order to retain our financial flexibility.
As of December 31, 2019,2021, we had approximately $583$793.5 million available under our unsecured revolving credit facilityRevolving Facility for future borrowings based on the unencumbered asset pool allocated to the unsecured revolving credit facility.borrowings. We also had $31.3$218.2 million in cash, and cash equivalents and short-term deposits as of December 31, 2019.

From time to time, we may issue securities under this shelf registration statement to fund thefor general corporate purposes, which may include acquisitions of additional properties, repayment of long-term debt upon maturity,outstanding indebtedness, capital expenditures, the expansion, redevelopment, and/or improvement of properties in our portfolio, working capital and other general purposes.
On February 23, 2021, the Company and the Operating Partnership entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (the “Equity Distribution Agreement”) with each of BofA Securities, Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc. and Raymond James & Associates, Inc., pursuant to which the Company may sell, from time to time, up to an aggregate sales price of $150.0 million of its common shares of beneficial interest, $0.01 par value per share under an at-the-market offering program (the “ATM Program”). On November 30, 2021, the Company and the Operating Partnership amended the Equity Distribution Agreement to reflect the filing by the Company and the Operating Partnership of a shelf registration statement on November 16, 2021 with the SEC. As of December 31, 2021, the Company has not sold any common shares under the ATM Program. The Operating Partnership intends to use the net proceeds, if any, to repay borrowings under its Revolving Facility and other indebtedness and for working capital and other general corporate purposespurposes. The Operating Partnership may also use net proceeds for acquisitions of operating properties and the development or as otherwise set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.

redevelopment of properties, although there are currently no understandings, commitments or agreements to do so.
In the future, we will continue to monitor the capital markets and may consider raising additional capital through the issuance of our common shares, preferred shares or other securities. We may also raise capital by disposing of properties, land parcels or other assets that are no longer core components of our growth strategy. The sale price may differ from our carrying value at the time of sale.

Our Principal Liquidity Needs
Short-Term Liquidity Needs
Near-Term Debt Maturities. As of December 31, 2019,2021, we did not have anyhad $153.5 million of secured debt scheduled to mature in 2020 or 2021,2022, excluding scheduled monthly principal payments. We believe we have sufficient liquidity to repay this obligation from cash on hand and short-term deposits.
Other Short-Term Liquidity Needs. The requirements for qualifying as a REIT and for a tax deduction for some or all of the dividends paid to shareholders necessitate that we distribute at least 90% of our taxable income on an annual basis. Such requirements cause us to have substantial liquidity needs over both the short term and the long term. Our short-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary to pay operating expenses associated with our operating properties, scheduled interest expensepayments of approximately $115 million in 2022 and scheduled principal payments on our debt of approximately $3.7 million in 2022, expected dividend payments to our common shareholders and to Common Unit holders, and recurring capital expenditures.

 In February 2020,2022, our Board of Trustees declared a cash distribution of $0.3175$0.20 per common share and Common Unit for the first quarter of 2020.2022. This distribution is expected to be paid on or about April 3, 202015, 2022 to common shareholders and Common Unit holders of record as of March 27, 2020.
April 8, 2022. Future distributions, if any, are at the discretion of the Board of Trustees, who will continue to evaluate our sources and uses of capital, liquidity position, operating fundamentals, maintenance of our REIT qualification and other factors they may deem relevant.
Other short-term liquidity needs also include expenditures for tenant improvements, renovation costs, external leasing commissions and recurring capital expenditures. During the year ended December 31, 2019,2021, we incurred $4.3$3.8 million of costs for recurring capital expenditures on operating properties, $10.3$14.7 million of costs for tenant improvements and external leasing commissions, and $14.3$9.7 million to re-lease anchor space at our operating properties related to tenants open and operating as of December 31, 20192021 (excluding development and redevelopment properties)projects). We currently anticipate incurring approximately $14 million to $20$100 million of additional major tenant improvements and $14 million to $18 millionimprovement costs related to releasingexecuted leases for currently vacant anchor space at a number of our operating properties.

properties over the next 12 to 18 months. We believe we have the ability to fund these costs through cash flow from operations or by borrowing on the Revolving Facility.

Share Repurchase Plan

In February 2021, the Company’s Board of Trustees approved a share repurchase program, authorizing share repurchases up to an aggregate of $150.0 million (the “Share Repurchase Program”). In February 2022, the Company extended its share repurchase program for an additional year. The Share Repurchase Program, as extended, will terminate on February 28, 2023, if not terminated or extended prior to that date. As of December 31, 2021, the Company has not repurchased any shares under its Share Repurchase Program. The Company intends to fund any future repurchases under the Share Purchase Program with cash on hand or availability under the Revolving Facility, subject to any applicable restrictions. The timing of share repurchases and the number of common shares to be repurchased under the Share Repurchase Program will depend upon prevailing market conditions, regulatory requirements and other factors.
Long-Term Liquidity Needs
Our long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for any new development projects, redevelopment of existing properties, non-recurring capital expenditures, acquisitions of properties, and payment of indebtedness at maturity.

Potential Redevelopment Opportunities. We are currently evaluating additional redevelopment of several other properties. We believe we will have sufficient funding for these projects through cash flow from operations, borrowings on our unsecured revolving credit facilitymaturity and proceeds from asset sales. 
obligations under ground leases.
Selective Acquisitions, Developments and Joint Ventures. We may selectively pursue the acquisition, development and developmentredevelopment of other properties, which would require additional capital. It is unlikely that we would have sufficient funds on hand to meet these long-term capital requirements, requiring usrequirements. We would have to satisfy these needs through additional borrowings, sales of common or preferred shares, issuance of Operating Partnership units, cash generated through property dispositions and/or participation in joint venture arrangements. We cannot be certain that we would have access to these sources of capital on satisfactory terms, if at all, to fund our long-term liquidity requirements. We evaluate all future opportunities against pre-established criteria including, but not limited to, location, demographics, expected return, tenant credit quality, tenant relationships, and the amount of existing retail space in the market.space. Our ability to access the capital markets will be dependent on a number of factors, including general capital market conditions.
Potential Debt Repurchases. We may from time to time, depending on market conditions and prices, contractual restrictions, our financial liquidity and other factors, seek to repurchase our senior unsecured notes maturing at various dates through September 2030 in open market transactions, by tender offer or otherwise, as market conditions warrant.
CapitalizedCommitments under Ground Leases. We are obligated under 12 ground leases for approximately 98 acres of land as of December 31, 2021. Most of these ground leases require fixed annual rent payments and the expiration dates of the remaining initial terms of these ground leases range from 2023 to 2092.

Impact of Changes in Credit Ratings on Our Liquidity

We have been assignedpreviously received investment grade corporate credit ratings from two nationally recognized credit rating agencies. Theseagencies and these ratings were unchanged during 2019.2021. We were assigned an investment grade corporate credit rating from a third nationally recognized rating agency in October 2021.

In the future, thethese ratings could change based upon, among other things, the impact that prevailing economic conditions may have on our results of operations and financial condition.condition, including as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Credit rating reductions by one or more rating agencies could also adversely affect our access to funding sources, the cost and other terms of obtaining funding, as well as our overall financial condition, operating results and cash flow.

Cash Flows

As of December 31, 2019,2021, we had cash, and cash equivalents on handand restricted cash of $31.3$100.4 million. We may be subject to concentrations of credit risk with regard to our cash and cash equivalents. We place our cash and short-term cash investments with highly rated financial institutions. While we attempt to limit our exposure at any point in time, occasionally, such cash and investments may temporarily be in excess of FDIC and SIPC insurance limits. We also maintain certain compensating balances in several financial institutions in support of borrowings from those institutions. Such compensating balances were not material to the consolidated balance sheets.

Other Matters

Financial Instruments

We are exposed to capital market risk, such as changes in interest rates. In order to reduce the volatility relating to interest rate risk, we may enter into interest rate hedging arrangements from time to time. We do not utilizeuse derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not currently have any off-balance sheet arrangements that in our opinion have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material current or future effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.  We do, however, have certain obligations related to some of the projects in our operating and development properties.
As of December 31, 2019, we have outstanding letters of credit totaling $1.2 million, against which no amounts were advanced.

Critical Accounting Estimates
Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. As disclosed in Note 2, the preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We believe that the following discussion addresses our most critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to the compilation of our financial condition and results of operations and, in some cases, require management’s most difficult, subjective, and complex judgments.
Acquisition of Real Estate Investments
In accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, we accounted for the Merger as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires the application of a screen test to evaluate if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets to determine whether a transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition or business combination.
Upon acquisition of real estate operating properties, including those assets acquired in the Merger with RPAI, we estimate the fair value of acquired identifiable tangible assets and identified intangible assets and liabilities, assumed debt, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the date of acquisition, based on evaluation of information and estimates available at that date. Based on these estimates, we record the estimated fair value to the applicable assets and liabilities. In making estimates of fair values, a number of sources are utilized, including information obtained as a result of pre-acquisition due diligence, marketing and leasing activities. The estimates of fair value were determined to have primarily relied upon Level 2 and Level 3 inputs, as defined below.
Fair value is determined for tangible assets and intangibles, including:
the fair value of the building on an as-if-vacant basis and the fair value of land determined either by comparable market data, real estate tax assessments, independent appraisals or other relevant data;
above-market and below-market in-place lease values for acquired properties, which are based on the present value (using an interest rate that reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over the remaining non-cancelable term of the leases. Any below-market renewal options are also considered in the in-place lease values. The capitalized above-market and below-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of or addition to rental income over the term of the lease. Should a tenant vacate, terminate its lease, or otherwise notify us of its intent to do so, the unamortized portion of the lease intangibles would be charged or credited to income;
the value of having a lease in place at the acquisition date. We utilize independent and internal sources for our estimates to determine the respective in-place lease values. Our estimates of value are made using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers. Factors we consider in our analysis include an estimate of costs to execute similar leases including tenant improvements, leasing commissions and foregone costs and rent received during the estimated lease-up period as if the space was vacant. The value of in-place leases is amortized to expense over the remaining initial terms of the respective leases; and
the fair value of any assumed financing that is determined to be above or below market terms. We utilize third party and independent sources for our estimates to determine the respective fair value of each mortgage and other indebtedness, including related derivative instruments, assumed. The fair market value of each is amortized to interest expense over the remaining initial terms of the respective instrument.
We also consider whether there is any value to in-place leases that have a related customer relationship intangible value. Characteristics we consider in determining these values include the nature and extent of existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenant’s credit quality, and expectations of lease renewals, among other factors. To date, no tenant relationship has been developed that is considered to have a current intangible value.

Valuation of Investment Properties
Management reviews operational and development projects, land parcels and intangible assets for impairment on a property-by-property basis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. This review for possible impairment requires certain assumptions, estimates, and significant judgment. Examples of situations considered to be impairment indicators for both operating properties and development projects include, but are not limited to:
a substantial decline in or continued low occupancy rate or cash flow;
expected significant declines in occupancy in the near future;
continued difficulty in leasing space;
a significant concentration of financially troubled tenants;
a reduction in anticipated holding period;
a cost accumulation or delay in project completion date significantly above and beyond the original development or redevelopment estimate;
a significant decrease in market price not in line with general market trends; and
any other quantitative or qualitative events or factors deemed significant by the Company’s management or Board of Trustees.
Impairment losses for investment properties and intangible assets are measured when the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by the investment properties during the expected holding period are less than the carrying amounts of those assets. The evaluation of impairment is subject to certain management assumptions including projected net operating income, anticipated hold period, expected capital expenditures and the capitalization rate used to estimate the property’s residual value. Impairment losses are recorded as the excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair value of the asset. Our impairment review for land and development properties assumes we have the intent and ability to complete the developments or projected uses for the land parcels. If we determine those plans will not be completed or our assumptions with respect to operating assets are not realized, an impairment loss may be appropriate.
Depreciation may be accelerated for a redevelopment project, including partial demolition of existing structures after the asset is assessed for impairment.
Operating properties will be classified as held for sale only when those properties are available for immediate sale in their present condition and for which management believes it is probable that a sale of the property will be completed within one year, among other factors. Operating properties classified as held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Depreciation and amortization are suspended during the held-for-sale period.
Revenue Recognition
As a lessor of real estate assets, the Company retains substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership and accounts for its leases as operating leases.
Contractual minimum base rent, percentage rent, and expense reimbursements from tenants for common area maintenance costs, insurance and real estate taxes are our principal sources of revenue. Base minimum rents are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases. Certain lease agreements contain provisions that grant additional rents based on a tenant’s sales volume (contingent overage rent). Overage rent is recognized when tenants achieve the specified sales targets as defined in their lease agreements. If we determine that collectibility is probable, we recognize income from rentals based on the methodology described above. We have accounts receivable due from tenants and are subject to the risk of tenant defaults and bankruptcies that may affect the collection of outstanding receivables. These receivables are reduced for credit loss, which is recognized as a reduction to rental income. We regularly evaluate the collectibility of these lease-related receivables by analyzing past due account balances and consider such facts as the credit quality of our customer, historical write-off experience, tenant credit-worthiness and current economic trends when evaluating the collectibility of rental income. Although we estimate uncollectible receivables and provide for them through charges against income, actual experience may differ from those estimates.
49


We recognize the sale of real estate when control transfers to the buyer. As part of our ongoing business strategy, we will, from time to time, sell properties, land parcels and outlots, some of which are ground-leased to tenants.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our future income, cash flows and fair values relevant to financial instruments depend upon prevailing interest rates. We are exposed to interest rate changes primarily through our variable-rate unsecured credit facilityRevolving Facility and unsecured term loans and other property-specific variable-rate mortgages. Our objectives with respect to interest rate risk are to limitbalance the potential impact of interest rate changes on operations and cash flows andagainst our desire to lower itsour overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, we may borrow at fixed or variable rates and may enter into derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps, hedges, etc., in order to mitigate itsthe interest rate risk on a related variable-rate financial instrument.risk. As a matter of policy, we do not utilizeuse financial instruments for trading or speculative transactions.
We had $1.1$3.2 billion of outstanding consolidated indebtedness as of December 31, 20192021 (inclusive of net unamortized net debt discounts, premiums and issuance costs of $6.7$58.6 million). As of December 31, 2019,2021, we were party to various consolidated interest rate hedge agreements totaling $266.2$875.0 million with maturities over various terms through 2025.2026. Reflecting the effects of these hedge agreements, our fixed and variable rate debt would have been $1.1$2.9 billion (97%(92%) and $39.6$239.0 million (3%(8%), respectively, of our total consolidated indebtedness at December 31, 2019. 2021.
We do not have anyAs of December 31, 2021, we had $153.5 million of fixed rate debt scheduled to mature during 2020 or 2021.2022. A 100-basis point change in interest rates would not materially impact the annual cash flows associated with this debt as we expect to repay these loans using cash on hand. A 100-basis point change in interest rates on our unhedged variable rate debt as of December 31, 20192021 would change our annual cash flow by $0.4$2.4 million. Based upon the terms of our variable rate debt, we are most vulnerable to a change in short-term LIBOR interest rates.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


TheTo the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of Kite Realty Group Trust:

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Kite Realty Group Trust and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 20192021 and 2018,2020, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the periodthen ended, December 31, 2019, and the related notes and financial statement schedule listed inIII – Consolidated Real Estate and Accumulated Depreciation (collectively, the Index at Item 15(a) (collectively referred to as the “consolidatedconsolidated financial statements”)statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company atas of December 31, 20192021 and 2018,2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2019,2021, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019,2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control-IntegratedControl – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, (2013 Framework) and our report dated February 20, 202028, 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Adoptionon the effectiveness of ASU No. 2016-02
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidatedCompany’s internal control over financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for leases in 2019 due to the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, reporting.Leases (Topic 842), and the related amendments.

Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’sthese consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The critical audit mattermatters communicated below is a matterare matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that waswere communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relatesrelate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit mattermatters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit mattermatters below, providing a separate opinionopinions on the critical audit mattermatters or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.they relate.

Evaluation of investment properties for potential impairment

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, land, buildings, and improvements, net was $7,543,376 thousand as of December 31, 2021. The Company’s investment properties are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. This review for potential impairment triggering events requires certain assumptions, estimates, and significant judgment, including about the anticipated holding period for an investment property.

We identified the evaluation of certain investment properties for potential impairment as a critical audit matter. Subjective and challenging auditor judgment was required to evaluate the Company’s intent and ability to hold investment properties for particular periods of time. A shortening of the anticipated holding period could indicate a potential impairment.
F-1


Impairment of Investment Property
Description of the Matter
At December 31, 2019, the Company’s net consolidated investment properties totaled $2.4 billion. As discussed in Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s investment properties are reviewed for impairment on a property-by-property basis on at least a quarterly basis, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. Impairment losses for investment properties are measured when the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by the investment properties during the expected holding period are less than the carrying amounts of those assets. Impairment losses are recorded as the excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair value of the asset.
Auditing management’s evaluation of investment properties for impairment was complex due to the significant estimation uncertainty in determining the estimated future undiscounted cash flows and fair value of investment properties where an indicator of potential impairment was identified. In particular, these estimates were sensitive to significant assumptions such as projected net operating income, anticipated hold period, expected capital expenditures and the capitalization rate used to estimate the property’s residual value, all of which can be affected by expectations about future market conditions, rental demand, and competition, as well as management’s intent to hold and operate the property over the term assumed in the analysis.
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit
We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design, and tested the operating effectiveness of controls related to the Company’s process for evaluating investment properties for impairment, including controls over management’s review of the significant assumptions described above.
To test the Company’s evaluation of investment properties for impairment, we performed audit procedures that included, among others, assessing the methodologies, evaluating the significant assumptions discussed above and testing the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used by management in its analysis. We compared the significant assumptions used by management to historical actual results of the property, relevant observable market information for recent sales of comparable assets, real estate industry publications, current industry trends or other relevant factors. We also involved a valuation specialist to assist in evaluating certain assumptions. As part of our evaluation, we assessed the historical accuracy of management’s estimates and performed sensitivity analyses of significant assumptions to evaluate the changes in the future undiscounted cash flows and fair value of certain properties that would result from changes in the assumptions.
The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls related to the Company’s process to evaluate potential impairment triggering events, including a control related to the evaluation of the holding period. We compared the holding periods assumed in the Company’s analysis to the Company’s historical holding periods for similar properties. We inquired of Company management and inspected documents, such as meeting minutes of the board of trustees and its sub-committees, and management’s capital allocation committee to evaluate the Company’s intent and ability to hold investment properties for particular periods of time. We read external communications with investors and analysts in order to identify information regarding potential sales of the Company’s investment properties.

Valuation of assets and liabilities acquired in the Retail Properties of America, Inc. acquisition

As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, on October 22, 2021, the Company completed a merger with Retail Properties of America, Inc. (“RPAI”) in a transaction accounted for as a business combination for consideration of approximately $2.8 billion. The consideration paid was allocated to the acquired assets and liabilities of each property based on their estimated fair values.

We identified the evaluation of the estimated fair values of land, buildings, and above and below market lease intangible assets and liabilities acquired in the RPAI acquisition as a critical audit matter. Subjective auditor judgment was required to evaluate the Company’s land valuations and certain inputs used in the Company’s determination of the estimated fair values of certain other assets and liabilities, specifically forecasted individual property net operating income and capitalization rates that were used as inputs to the building valuations, and market rental rates and discount rates that were used as inputs to the valuation of the above and below market lease intangible assets and liabilities.
The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls related to the Company’s process to allocate the purchase price to the acquired assets and liabilities. This included controls related to the selection and review of the above noted inputs. We assessed the Company’s forecasts of individual property net operating income by comparing projected amounts to the Company’s budgets. We evaluated the Company’s ability to prepare accurate budgets by comparing previous budgets of net operating income for the Company’s individual properties to actual results. We involved valuation professionals with specialized skills and knowledge who assisted in:
for a selection of properties, evaluating the Company’s estimates of fair values of land by comparing the recorded values to comparable land sales using publicly available market data
for a selection of buildings, comparing the Company’s capitalization rates to available market information and industry research publications
for a sample of lease intangible assets and liabilities, comparing market rental rates and discount rates used by the Company to available market information and industry research publications.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019,2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, (2013 Framework) and our report dated February 20, 202028, 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Adoptionon the effectiveness of ASU No. 2016-02
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidatedPartnership’s internal control over financial statements, the Partnership changed its method of accounting for leases in 2019 due to the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, reporting.Leases (Topic 842), and the related amendments.

Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Partnership’sthese consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Partnership in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Evaluation of investment properties for potential impairment
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, land, buildings, and improvements, net was $7,543,376 thousand as of December 31, 2021. The Partnership’s investment properties are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. This review for potential impairment triggering events requires certain assumptions, estimates, and significant judgment, including about the anticipated holding period for an investment property.
We identified the evaluation of certain investment properties for potential impairment as a critical audit matter. Subjective and challenging auditor judgment was required to evaluate the Partnership’s intent and ability to hold investment properties for particular periods of time. A shortening of the anticipated holding period could indicate a potential impairment.
F-3


The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls related to the Partnership’s process to evaluate potential impairment triggering events, including a control related to the evaluation of the holding period. We compared the holding periods assumed in the Partnership’s analysis to the Partnership’s historical holding periods for similar properties. We inquired of Partnership management and inspected documents, such as meeting minutes of Kite Realty Group Trust’s (the Parent Company’s) board of trustees and its sub-committees, and management’s capital allocation committee to evaluate the Partnership’s intent and ability to hold investment properties for particular periods of time. We read external communications with investors and analysts in order to identify information regarding potential sales of the Partnership’s investment properties.
Valuation of assets and liabilities acquired in the Retail Properties of America, Inc. acquisition
As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, on October 22, 2021, the Partnership completed a merger with Retail Properties of America, Inc. (“RPAI”) in a transaction accounted for as a business combination for consideration of approximately $2.8 billion. The consideration paid was allocated to the acquired assets and liabilities of each property based on their estimated fair values.
We identified the evaluation of the estimated fair values of land, buildings, and above and below market lease intangible assets and liabilities acquired in the RPAI acquisition as a critical audit matter. Subjective auditor judgment was required to evaluate the Partnership’s land valuations and certain inputs used in the Partnership’s determination of the estimated fair values of certain other assets and liabilities, specifically forecasted individual property net operating income and capitalization rates that were used as inputs to the building valuations, and market rental rates and discount rates that were used as inputs to the valuation of the above and below market lease intangible assets and liabilities.
The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls related to the Partnership’s process to allocate the purchase price to the acquired assets and liabilities. This included controls related to the selection and review of the above noted inputs.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 20192021
($ in thousands, except share, per share, unit and per unit amounts and where indicated in millions or billions.)
NoteNOTE 1. Organization
ORGANIZATION
Kite Realty Group Trust (the "Parent Company"“Parent Company”), through its majority-owned subsidiary, Kite Realty Group, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), owns interests in various operating subsidiaries and joint ventures engaged in the ownership, and operation, acquisition, development and redevelopment of high-quality, neighborhoodopen-air shopping centers and community shopping centersmixed-used assets in select markets in the United States. The terms "Company," "we," "us,"“Company,” “we,” “us,” and "our"“our” refer to the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, collectively, and those entities owned or controlled by the Parent Company and/or the Operating Partnership.

The Operating Partnership was formed on August 16, 2004, when the Parent Company contributed properties and the net proceeds from an initial public offering of shares of its common stock to the Operating Partnership. The Parent Company was organized in Maryland in 2004 to succeed in the development, acquisition, construction and real estate businesses of its predecessor. We believe the Company qualifies as a real estate investment trust (a “REIT”(“REIT”) under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

The Parent Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, and as of December 31, 20192021 owned approximately 97.5%98.9% of the common partnership interests in the Operating Partnership (“General Partner Units”). The remaining 2.5%1.1% of the common partnership interests (“Limited Partner Units” and, together with the General Partner Units, the “Common Units”) were owned by the limited partners. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Parent Company has full, exclusive and complete responsibility and discretion in the day-to-day management and control of the Operating Partnership. The Parent Company and the Operating Partnership are operated as one enterprise. The management of the Parent Company consists of the same members as the management of the Operating Partnership. As the sole general partner with control of the Operating Partnership, the Parent Company consolidates the Operating Partnership for financial reporting purposes, and the Parent Company does not have any significant assets other than its investment in the Operating Partnership.
On October 22, 2021, we completed a merger with Retail Properties of America, Inc. (“RPAI”) in accordance with the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated July 18, 2021 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, its wholly owned subsidiary KRG Oak, LLC (“Merger Sub”) and RPAI, pursuant to which RPAI merged with and into Merger Sub (the “Merger”). Immediately following the closing of the Merger, Merger Sub merged with and into the Operating Partnership so that all of the assets and liabilities of the Company continue to be held at or below Operating Partnership level. The transaction value was approximately $4.7 billion, including the assumption of approximately $1.8 billion of debt. We acquired 100 operating retail properties and 5 active development projects through the Merger along with multiple parcels of entitled land for future value creation.
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, each outstanding share of RPAI common stock converted into the right to receive 0.623 common shares of the Company plus cash in lieu of fractional Company shares. The aggregate value of the Merger consideration paid or payable to former holders of RPAI common stock was approximately $2.8 billion, excluding the value of RPAI restricted stock units that vested at closing and certain restricted share awards assumed by the Company at closing. In connection with the Merger, the Operating Partnership issued an equivalent amount of General Partner Units to the Parent Company.
At December 31, 2019,2021, we owned interests in 180 operating retail properties totaling approximately 29.0 million square feet and 1 office property with 0.3 million square feet. Of the 180 operating retail properties, 11 contain an office component. We also owned 8 development projects under construction as of this date. Of the 180 properties, 177 are consolidated in these financial statements and the remaining 3 are accounted for under the equity method.
At December 31, 2020, we owned interests in 90 operating and redevelopment properties totaling approximately 17.417.3 million square feet. We also owned 12 development projectprojects under construction as of this date. Of the 90 properties, 87 are consolidated in these financial statements and the remaining 3 are accounted for under the equity method.

At December 31, 2018, we owned interests in 111 operating and redevelopment properties totaling approximately 21.9 million square feet. We also owned 1 development project under construction as of this date.  Of the 111 properties, 108 are consolidated in these financial statements and the remaining 3 are accounted for under the equity method.

Consolidation and Investments in Joint Ventures
The accompanying financial statements are presented on a consolidated basis and include all accounts of the Parent Company, the Operating Partnership, the taxable REIT subsidiarysubsidiaries (“TRSs”) of the Operating Partnership, subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership that are controlled and any variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which the Operating Partnership is the primary beneficiary. In general, a VIE is a corporation, partnership, trust or any other legal structure used for business purposes that either (a) has equity investors that do not provide sufficient financial resources for the entity to support its activities, (b) does not have equity investors with voting rights, or (c) has equity investors whose votes are disproportionate from their economics and substantially all of the activities are conducted on behalf of the investor with disproportionately fewer voting rights.

The Operating Partnership accounts for properties that are owned by joint ventures in accordance with the consolidation guidance. The Operating Partnership evaluates each joint venture and determines first whether to follow the VIE or the voting interest entity ("VOE"(“VOE”) model. Once the appropriate consolidation model is identified, the Operating Partnership then evaluates whether it should consolidate the joint venture. Under the VIE model, the Operating Partnership consolidates an entity when it has (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Under the VOE model, the Operating Partnership consolidates an entity when (i) it controls the entity through ownership of a majority voting interest if the entity is not a limited partnership or (ii) it controls the entity through its ability to remove the other partners or owners in the entity, at its discretion, when the entity is a limited partnership.

In determining whether to consolidate a VIE with the Operating Partnership, we consider all relationships between the Operating Partnership and the applicable VIE, including development agreements, management agreements and other contractual arrangements, in determining whether we have the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly affect the VIE'sVIE’s performance. As of December 31, 2019,2021, we owned investments in 23 consolidated joint ventures that were VIEs in which the partners did not have substantive participating rights and we were the primary beneficiary. As of this date,December 31, 2021, these consolidated VIEs had totalmortgage debt of $55.8$29.0 million, which were secured by assets of the VIEs totaling $114.1$117.0 million. The Operating Partnership guarantees the mortgage debt of these VIEs.

The Operating Partnership is considered a VIE as the limited partners do not hold kick-out rights or substantive participating rights. The Parent Company consolidates the Operating Partnership as it is the primary beneficiary in accordance with the VIE model.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company also owned investments in 4 unconsolidated joint ventures accounted for under the equity method. The investments are as follows:
TH Real EstateThree Property Retail Portfolio Joint Venture

On June 29, 2018, the Company formed a joint venture involving Nuveen Real Estate, formerly known as TH Real Estate (the "TH Real Estate joint venture").Estate. The Company sold 3 properties to the joint venture valued in the aggregate at $99.8 million and, after considering third partythird-party debt obtained by the venture upon formation, the Company contributed $10.0 million for a 20% noncontrolling ownership interest in the venture. The Company serves as the operating member responsible for day-to-day management of the properties and receives property management and leasing fees. Both members have substantive participating rights over major decisions that impact the economics and operations of the joint venture. The Company is accounting for the joint venture onunder the equity method as it has the ability to exercise influence but not control over operating and financial policies.

Embassy Suites at the University of Notre Dame

Eddy Street Commons
In December 2017, we formed a new joint venture with an unrelated third party to develop and own an Embassy Suites full-service hotel next to our Eddy Street Commons operating property at the University of Notre Dame. We contributed $1.4 million of cash to the joint venture in return for a 35% ownership interest in the venture. The joint venture has entered into a $33.8 million construction loan against which $33.6 million was drawn as of December 31, 2019.2021. The joint venture is not considered a VIE.

Glendale Multifamily Joint Venture
In May 2020, the Company formed a joint venture for the planned development of a multifamily project adjacent to our Glendale Town Center operating property. The Company contributed land valued at $1.6 million to the joint venture and retained a 12% interest in the joint venture. The Company’s partner serves as the operating member responsible for day-to-day management. Both members have substantive participating rights over major decisions that impact the economics and operations of the joint venture. The Company is accounting for the joint venture under the equity method as it has the ability to exercise influence but not control over operating and financial policies.
Buckingham Joint Venture
In September 2021, the Company formed a joint venture for the planned redevelopment of The Corner into a mixed-use, multifamily and retail project. The Company contributed land valued at $4.0 million to the joint venture and retained a 50% interest in the joint venture. The Company’s partner serves as the operating member responsible for day-to-day management. Both members have substantive participating rights over major decisions that impact the economics and operations of the joint venture. The Company is accounting for the joint venture under the equity method as it has the ability to exercise influence but not control over operating and financial policies.
Acquisition of Real Estate Properties
Upon acquisition of real estate operating properties, including those assets acquired in the Merger with RPAI, we estimate the fair value of acquired identifiable tangible assets and identified intangible assets and liabilities, assumed debt, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the date of acquisition, based on evaluation of information and estimates available at that date. Based on these estimates, we record the estimated fair value to the applicable assets and liabilities. In making estimates of fair values, a number of sources are utilized, including


information obtained as a result of pre-acquisition due diligence, marketing and leasing activities. The estimates of fair value were determined to have primarily relied upon Level 2 and Level 3 inputs, as defined below.
Fair value is determined for tangible assets and intangibles, including:
the fair value of the building on an as-if-vacant basis and the fair value of land determined either by comparable market data, real estate tax assessments, independent appraisals or other relevant data;
above-market and below-market in-place lease values for acquired properties, which are based on the present value (using an interest rate which are based on the present value (using an interest rate that reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over the remaining non-cancelable term of the leases. Any below-market renewal options are also considered in the in-place lease values. The capitalized above-market and below-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of or addition to rental income over the term of the lease. Should a tenant vacate, terminate its lease, or otherwise notify us of its intent to do so, the unamortized portion of the lease intangibles would be charged or credited to income;
the value of having a lease in place at the acquisition date. We utilize independent and internal sources for our estimates to determine the respective in-place lease values. Our estimates of value are made using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers. Factors we consider in our analysis include an estimate of costs to execute similar leases including tenant improvements, leasing commissions and foregone costs and rent received during the estimated lease-up period as if the space was vacant. The value of in-place leases is amortized to expense over the remaining initial terms of the respective leases; and
the fair value of any assumed financing that is determined to be above or below market terms. We utilize third party and independent sources for our estimates to determine the respective fair value of each mortgage payable.and
F-17


other indebtedness, including related derivative instruments, assumed. The fair market value of each mortgage payable is amortized to interest expense over the remaining initial terms of the respective loan.

instrument.
We also consider whether there is any value to in-place leases that have a related customer relationship intangible value. Characteristics we consider in determining these values include the nature and extent of existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenant’s credit quality, and expectations of lease renewals, among other factors. To date, ano tenant relationship has not been developed that is considered to have a current intangible value.

Investment Properties
Capitalization and Depreciation
Investment properties are recorded at cost and include costs of land acquisition, development, pre-development, construction, certain allocated overhead, tenant allowances and improvements, and interest and real estate taxes incurred during construction. Significant renovations and improvements are capitalized when they extend the useful life, increase capacity, or improve the efficiency of the asset. If a tenant vacates a space prior to the lease expiration, terminates its lease, or otherwise notifies the Company of its intent to do so, any related unamortized tenant allowances are expensed over the shortened lease period. Maintenance and repairs that do not extend the useful lives of the respective assets are reflected in property operating expense.

expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
Pre-development costs are incurred prior to vertical construction and for certain land held for development during the due diligence phase and include contract deposits, legal, engineering, cost of internal resources and other professional fees related to evaluating the feasibility of developing or redeveloping a shopping center or other project. These pre-development costs are capitalized and included in construction in progress in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. If we determine that the completion of a development project is no longer probable, all previously incurred pre-development costs are immediately expensed. Land is transferred to construction in progress once construction commences on the related project.
We also capitalize costs such as land acquisition, building construction, interest, real estate taxes, and the costs of personnel directly involved with the development of our properties. As a portion of a development propertyproject becomes operational, we expense a pro rata amount of related costs.


Depreciation on buildings and improvements is provided utilizingcomputed using the straight-line method over estimated original useful lives ranging from 10 to 35 years. Depreciation on tenant allowances and tenant improvements are provided utilizingis computed using the straight-line method over the term of the related lease. Depreciation on equipment and fixtures is provided utilizingcomputed using the straight-line method over 5five to 10 years. Depreciation may be accelerated for a redevelopment project including partial demolition of an existing structure after the asset is assessed for impairment.

Impairment
Impairment
Management reviews operational and development projects, land parcels and intangible assets for impairment on a property-by-property basis on at least a quarterly basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. This review for possible impairment requires certain assumptions, estimates, and significant judgment. Examples of situations considered to be impairment indicators for both operating properties and development projects include, but are not limited to:
a substantial decline in or continued low occupancy rate or cash flow;
expected significant declines in occupancy in the near future;
continued difficulty in leasing space;
a significant concentration of financially troubled tenants;
a reduction in anticipated holding period;
a cost accumulation or delay in project completion date significantly above and beyond the original development or redevelopment estimate;
a significant decrease in market price not in line with general market trends; and
F-18


any other quantitative or qualitative events or factors deemed significant by the Company’s management or Board of Trustees.
Impairment losses for investment properties and intangible assets are measured when the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by the investment properties during the expected holding period are less than the carrying amounts of those assets. The evaluation of impairment is subject to certain management assumptions including projected net operating income, anticipated hold period, expected capital expenditures and the capitalization rate used to estimate the property'sproperty’s residual value. Impairment losses are recorded as the excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair value of the asset. Our impairment review for land and development properties assumes we have the intent and the ability to complete the developments or projected uses for the land parcels. If we determine those plans will not be completed or our assumptions with respect to operating assets are not realized, an impairment loss may be appropriate.

AssetAssets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations
Operating properties will be classified as held for sale only when those properties are available for immediate sale in their present condition and for which management believes it is probable that a sale of the property will be completed within one year, among other factors. Operating properties classified as held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Depreciation and amortization are suspended during the held-for-sale period. No properties qualified for held for sale accounting treatment as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Restricted Cash and Escrow Deposits
Escrow deposits consist of cash held for real estate taxes, property maintenance, insurance and other requirements at specific properties as required by lending institutions, and certain municipalities. In addition, escrow deposits include $13.2 million of proceeds from the sale of an operating property to be utilized to acquire a potential asset in a tax-deferred exchange.municipalities or other agreements.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of 90 days or less to be cash and cash equivalents. From time to time, such investments may temporarily be held in accounts that are in excess of FDIC and SIPC insurance limits; however, the Company attempts to limit its exposure at any one time.

The following is a summary of our total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash total as presented in our consolidated statements of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018,2021, 2020, and 2017:2019:

Short-Term Deposits

The Company has a short-term deposit held in a custody account at Bank of New York Mellon. The primary objective of management’s short-term deposit activity is to preserve capital for the purpose of funding debt maturities in 2022. The deposit balance approximates fair value and earns interest at a rate of the Federal Funds Rate plus 43 basis points with a maturity date of April 7, 2022. Interest income on the deposit is recorded within “Other income (expense), net” on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The deposit is backed by a pool of marketable securities and a guarantee of principal by Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.
Fair Value Measurements
We follow the framework established under accounting standard FASBFinancial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, for measuring fair value of non-financial assets and liabilities that are not required or permitted to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis but only in certain circumstances, such as a business combination or upon determination of an impairment.

Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets are categorized based on the inputs to the valuation techniques as follows:



Level 1 fair value inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments to which we have access.
F-19


Level 2 fair value inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for similar instruments, either directly or indirectly, and appropriately consider counterparty creditworthiness in the valuations.
Level 2 fair value inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for similar instruments, either directly or indirectly, and appropriately consider counterparty creditworthiness in the valuations.

Level 3 fair value inputs reflect our best estimate of inputs and assumptions market participants would use in pricing an instrument at the measurement date. The inputs are unobservable in the market and significant to the valuation estimate.

In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.
As discussed in Note 89 to the Financial Statements,consolidated financial statements, we have determined that derivative valuations are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements includes a discussion of the estimated fair value of fixed and variable rate debt, which are estimated using Level 2 and 3 inputs. Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements includes a discussion of the fair values recorded for the assets acquired in the Merger with RPAI in 2021. Level 3 inputs to this transaction include our estimations of land, net rental rates of anchor and small shop space and capitalization rates. Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements includes a discussion of the fair values recorded when we recognized impairment charges in 2019. Level 3 inputs to these transactions include our estimations of disposal values.
Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, escrows and deposits, and other working capital balances approximate fair value.

Note 6 to the Financial Statements includes a discussion of the fair values recorded when we recognized impairment charges in 2019, 2018 and 2017. Level 3 inputs to these transactions include our estimations of disposal values. 
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company accounts for its derivative financial instruments at fair value calculated in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. Gains or losses resulting from changes in the fair values of those derivatives are accounted for depending on the use of the derivative and whether it qualifies for hedge accounting. We use derivative instruments such as interest rate swaps or rate locks to mitigate interest rate risk on related financial instruments.
Changes in the fair values of derivatives that qualify as cash flow hedges are recognized in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) while any ineffective portion of a derivative’s change in fair value is recognized immediately in earnings. Gains and losses associated with the transaction are recorded in OCI and amortized over the underlying term of the hedged transaction. For derivative contracts designated as fair value hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative is included within “Mortgage and other indebtedness, net” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. We include the gain or loss on the hedged item in the same account as the offsetting gain or loss on the related derivative contract. As of December 31, 20192021 and 2018,2020, all of our derivative instruments qualify for hedge accounting.
Revenue Recognition
As a lessor of real estate assets, the Company retains substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership and accounts for its leases as operating leases.

Contractual minimum base rent, percentage rent, and expense reimbursements from tenants for common area maintenance costs, insurance and real estate taxes are our principal sources of revenue. Base minimum rents are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases. Certain lease agreements contain provisions that grant additional rents based on a tenant’s sales volume (contingent overage rent). Overage rent is recognized when tenants achieve the specified sales targets as defined in their lease agreements. Overage rent is included in rental incomewithin “Rental income” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for the yearyears ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019. If we determine that collectibility is probable, we recognize income from rentals based on the methodology described above. We have accounts receivable due from tenants and are subject to the risk of tenant defaults and bankruptcies that may affect the collection of outstanding receivables. These receivables are reduced for credit loss that is recognized as a reduction to rental income. We regularly evaluate the collectibility of these lease-related receivables by analyzing past due account balances and consider such facts as the credit quality of our customer, historical write-off experience tenant credit-worthiness and current economic trends when evaluating the collectibility of rental income. Although we estimate uncollectible receivables and provide for them through charges against income, actual experience may differ from those estimates.

We recognize the sale of real estate when control transfers to the buyer. As part of our ongoing business strategy, we will, from time to time, sell properties, land parcels and outlots, some of which are ground leasedground-leased to tenants. Net gains realized on such sales were $0.2$0.5 million, $3.1$5.9 million, and $5.2$0.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018,2021, 2020, and 2017, 2019,

respectively, and are classified as other property related revenuewithin “Other property-related revenue” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. operations and comprehensive income.





Tenant and Other Receivables and Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts
Tenant receivables consist primarily of billed minimum rent, accrued and billed tenant reimbursements, and accrued straight-line rent. The Company generally does not require specific collateral from its tenants other than corporate or personal guarantees. Other receivables consist primarily of amounts due from municipalities and from tenants for non-rental revenue related activities.
An allowance for uncollectible accounts is maintained for estimated losses resulting from the inability of certain tenants or others to meet contractual obligations under their lease or other agreements. Accounts are written off when, in the opinion of management, the balance is uncollectible.
The provision for revenues deemed uncollectible represented 1.1%0.9%, 1.0%6.0%, 0.8%and 1.1% of total revenues in each of the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, 2018 and 2017. respectively. The lower percentage for the year ended December 31, 2021 was driven by the recovery of revenues previously deemed uncollectible.
Concentration of Credit Risk
We may be subject to concentrations of credit risk with regards to our cash and cash equivalents. We place cash and temporary cash investments with high-credit-quality financial institutions. From time to time, such cash and investments may temporarily be in excess of insurance limits.

In addition, our accounts receivable from and leases with tenants potentially subjectssubject us to a concentration of credit risk related to our accounts receivable and revenue.

Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share or unit is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares or units outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share or unit is determined based on the weighted average common number of common shares or units outstanding during the period combined with the incremental average common shares or units that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all potentially dilutive common shares or units into common shares or units as of the earliest date possible.
Potentially dilutive securities include (i) outstanding options to acquire common shares; (ii) Limited Partner Units, which may be exchanged for either cash or common shares, at the Parent Company’s option and under certain circumstances; appreciation only LTIP(iii) appreciation-only Long-Term Incentive Plan (“AO LTIP”) units, and (iv) deferred common share units, which may be credited to the personal accounts of non-employee trustees in lieu of the payment ofcompensation paid in cash compensation or the issuance of common shares to such trustees. Limited Partner Units have been omitted from the Parent Company’s denominator for the purpose of computing diluted earnings per share since the effect of including these amounts in the denominator would have no dilutive impact. Weighted average Limited Partner Units outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 2018were 2.5 million, 2.2 million and 2017 were 2.1 million, 2.0 million and 2.0 million, respectively.



Less than 0.1 million outstanding options to acquire common shares were excluded from the computations of diluted earnings per share or unit because their impact was notThese potentially dilutive for each of the twelve months ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017. In addition, Limited Partner Units, appreciation only LTIP units, and deferred common share unitssecurities are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share due to the net loss position in 2018for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019.

Income Taxes and REIT Compliance

Parent Company

The Parent Company which is considered a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, has been organized and operated, and intends to continue to operate, in a manner that will enable it to maintain its qualification as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result, it generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the earnings that it distributes to the extent it distributes its “REIT taxable income” (determined before the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains) to shareholders of the Parent Company and meets certain other requirements on a recurring basis. To the extent that it satisfies this distribution requirement, but distributes less than 100% of its taxable income, it will be subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax on its undistributed REIT taxable income. REITs are subject to a number of organizational and operational requirements. If the Parent Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate rates for a period of four years following the year in which qualification is lost. We may also be subject to certain U.S. federal, state and local taxes on our income and property and to U.S. federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed taxable income even if the Parent Company does qualify as a REIT. The Operating Partnership intends to continue to make distributions to the Parent Company in amounts sufficient to assist the Parent Company in adhering to REIT requirements and maintaining its REIT status.

We have elected to treat Kite Realty Holdings, LLC as a taxable REIT subsidiaryTRS of the Operating Partnership. In addition, in connection with the Merger, we assumed RPAI’s existing TRS, IWR Protective Corporation, as a TRS of the Operating Partnership and we may elect to treat other subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiariesTRSs in the future. This election enables us to receive income and provide services that would otherwise be impermissible for a REIT. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are established for temporary differences between the financial reporting bases and the tax bases of assets and liabilities at the tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company records interest related to unrecognized tax benefits within “Interest expense” and penalties within “General, administrative and other” expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
On March 27, 2020 and December 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) and the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (“CAA”), respectively, were enacted into law. Among other provisions, the CARES Act and the CAA provide relief to U.S. federal corporate taxpayers through temporary adjustments to net operating loss rules, changes to limitations on interest expense deductibility, and the acceleration of available refunds for minimum tax credit carryforwards. The CARES Act and the CAA did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Our tax return for the year ended December 31, 20192021 has not been filed.filed as of the filing date of this Form 10-K of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership. The taxability information presented for our dividends paid in 20192021 is based upon management'smanagement’s estimate. Consequently, the taxability of dividends is subject to change.

Noncontrolling Interests 
We report the non-redeemable noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries as equity, and the amount of consolidated net income attributable to these noncontrolling interests is set forth separately in the consolidated financial statements. The non-redeemable noncontrolling interests in consolidated properties for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018,2021, 2020, and 20172019 were as follows:

Noncontrolling Interests – Joint Venture

Prior to the Merger with RPAI, RPAI entered into a joint venture related to the development, ownership and operation of the multifamily rental portion of the expansion project at One Loudoun Downtown – Pads G & H. The Company owns 90% of the joint venture.

Subsequent to the Merger, during the period ended December 31, 2021, the Company funded $0.4 million of the partner’s development costs related to One Loudoun Downtown – Pads G & H through a loan provided by the Company to the joint venture. The loan is secured by the joint venture project, is required to be repaid subsequent to the completion of construction and stabilization of the project and is eliminated upon consolidation. Under terms defined in the joint venture agreement, after construction completion and stabilization of the development project, the Company has the ability to call, and the joint venture partner has the ability to put to the Company, subject to certain conditions, the joint venture partner’s interest in the joint venture at fair value.
The joint venture is considered a VIE primarily because the Company’s joint venture partner does not have substantive kick-out rights or substantive participating rights. The Company is considered the primary beneficiary as it has a controlling financial interest in the joint venture. As such, the Company has consolidated this joint venture and presented the joint venture partners’ interests as noncontrolling interests.
Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests – Limited Partners
Limited Partner Units are redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership. We classify redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets outside of permanent equity because we may be required to pay cash to holders of Limited Partner Units upon redemption of their interests in the Operating Partnership or deliver registered shares upon their conversion. The carrying amount of the redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership is reflected at the greater of historical book value or redemption value with a corresponding adjustment to additional paid-in capital. At December 31, 2019,2021, the redemption value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership exceeded the historical book value, and the balance was accordingly adjusted to redemption value. At December 31, 2018,2020, the redemption value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership did not exceed the historical book value, and the balance was accordingly adjusted to historical book value.
F-23


We allocate net operating results of the Operating Partnership after noncontrolling interests in the consolidated properties based on the partners’ respective weighted average ownership interest. We adjust the redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership at the end of each reporting period to reflect their interests in the Operating Partnership or redemption value. This adjustment is reflected in our shareholders’ and Parent Company'sCompany’s equity. For the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018,2021, 2020, and 2017,2019, the weighted average interests of the Parent Company and the limited partners in the Operating Partnership were as follows:

At December 31, 2018,2020, the Parent Company'sCompany’s interest and the limited partners'partners’ redeemable noncontrolling ownership interests in the Operating Partnership were 97.6%97.1% and 2.4%2.9%.
Concurrent with the Parent Company’s initial public offering and related formation transactions, certain individuals received Limited Partner Units of the Operating Partnership in exchange for their interests in certain properties. The limited partners have the right to redeem Limited Partner Units for cash or, at the Parent Company'sCompany’s election, common shares of the Parent Company in an amount equal to the market value of an equivalent number of common shares of the Parent Company at the time of redemption. Such common shares must be registered, which is not fully in the Parent Company’s control. Therefore, the limited partners’ interest is not reflected in permanent equity. The Parent Company also has the right to redeem the Limited Partner Units directly from the limited partner in exchange for either cash in the amount specified above or a number of its common shares equal to the number of Limited Partner Units being redeemed.

There were 2,110,0372,377,777 and 2,035,3492,532,861 Limited Partner Units outstanding as of December 31, 20192021 and 2018,2020, respectively. The increasedecrease in Limited Partner Units outstanding from December 31, 20182020 is due primarily to conversions offset by non-cash compensation awards made to our executive officers. officers in the form of Limited Partner Units.


Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests - Subsidiaries
Prior to ourthe merger with Inland Diversified Real Estate Trust, Inc. ("(“Inland Diversified"Diversified”) in 2014, Inland Diversified formed joint ventures with the previous owners of certain properties and issued Class B units in 3 joint ventures that indirectly own those properties. The Class B units related to 1 of these three joint ventures remain outstanding and are accounted for as noncontrolling interests in these properties.the remaining venture. The remaining Class B units will become redeemable at our partner'sthe respective partner’s election in October 2022 based on the joint venture agreement and the fulfillment of certain redemption criteria. Beginning in November 2022, with respect to the remaining joint venture, the Class B units can be redeemed at the election of either our partner or us for cash or Limited Partner Units in the Operating Partnership. None of the issuedThe Class B units do not have a maturity date and none are mandatorily redeemable unless either party has elected for the units to be redeemed. We consolidate this joint venture because we control the decision making and our joint venture partner has limited protective rights.

In March 2017, certain Class B unit holders exercised their rightWe classify the redeemable noncontrolling interests related to redeem $8.3 million of their Class B units for cash. We funded the redemption in December 2017 using operating cash flows. In 2018, the same Class B unit holders exercised their right to redeem their remaining Class B units for cash. We funded $10.0 million of the redemption in August 2018 and the remaining $12.0 million in November 2018.
We classify the remainder of the redeemable noncontrolling interests in a subsidiary in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets outside of permanent equity because, under certain circumstances, we may be required to pay cash to Class B unitholders in specific subsidiariesthis subsidiary upon redemption of their interests. The carrying amount of these redeemable noncontrolling interests is required to be reflected at the greater of initial book value or redemption value with a corresponding adjustment to additional paid-in capital. As of December 31, 20192021 and 2018,2020, the redemption amounts of these interests did not exceed their fair value nor did they exceed the initial book value.

Effects of Accounting Pronouncements
Debt with Conversion Options
We elected to early adopt ASU 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40), as of January 1, 2021. This new guidance, among other things, simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by eliminating the requirement to separate conversion features from the host contract. Consequently, a convertible debt instrument will be accounted for as a single liability measured at its amortized cost. The guidance also eliminates the beneficial conversion and cash conversion accounting models for convertible instruments. The adoption of this pronouncement resulted in the March 2021 exchangeable notes being recorded as a single liability with no portion of the proceeds from the issuance of the exchangeable debt instrument recorded as attributable to the conversion feature. See Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.
Reference Rate Reform
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), which contains practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance in ASU 2020-04 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. In March 2020, the Company elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply other elections as applicable as additional changes in the market occur.
Leases
In April 2020, the FASB issued a question-and-answer document focused on the application of lease accounting guidance to lease concessions provided as a result of COVID-19. Under ASC 842, Leases, the Company would have to evaluate, on a lease-by-lease basis, if a lease concession was the result of a new arrangement reached with the tenant or if a lease concession was under the enforceable rights and obligations within the existing lease agreement. The FASB clarified that entities may elect to not evaluate whether lease-related relief that lessors provide to mitigate the economic effects of COVID-19 is a lease modification. The Company made this election to evaluate COVID-related lease modifications on a disaggregated basis, with such election applied consistently to leases with similar characteristics and similar circumstances.
The Company entered into rent deferral agreements during the year ended December 31, 2020 that provided for legally due rent to be paid back over a period of time, typically 12 to 18 months. The Company had deferred the payment by tenants of $2.9 million and $6.1 million of contractually due rental income that remains outstanding as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
The future impact of such modifications is dependent upon the extent of lease concessions granted to tenants as a result of COVID-19 in future periods and the elections made by the Company at the time of entering into such concessions. There was not a material amount of rent abatement provided to tenants as a result of COVID-19 during 2021 and 2020.

ReclassificationsNOTE 3. ACQUISITIONS

RPAI Merger
Certain amountsOn October 22, 2021, we completed a Merger with RPAI pursuant to which RPAI merged with and into Merger Sub, with the Company continuing as the surviving public company. Immediately following the closing of the Merger, Merger Sub merged with and into the Operating Partnership so that all of the assets and liabilities of the Company continue to be held at or below the Operating Partnership level. The aggregate value of the Merger consideration paid or payable to former holders of RPAI common stock was approximately $2.8 billion, excluding the value of RPAI restricted stock units that vested at closing and certain restricted share awards assumed by the Company at closing. The total purchase price was calculated based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on October 21, 2021, the last business day prior to the effective time of the Merger, which was $21.18 per share. At the effective time of the Merger, each share of RPAI common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time was converted into the right to receive 0.623 newly issued Company common shares. In addition, holders of (i) options to purchase shares of RPAI common stock, (ii) certain awards of restricted shares of RPAI common stock (as agreed in accordance with the Merger Agreement), and (iii) restricted stock units representing the right to vest in and be issued shares of RPAI common stock became entitled to receive cash and/or Company common shares in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. The Company assumed certain existing awards of restricted shares of RPAI common stock, each of which were converted into 0.623 awards of restricted Company common shares in accordance with the Merger Agreement. In connection with the Merger, the Operating Partnership issued an equivalent amount of General Partner Units to the Parent Company. The number of RPAI common stock outstanding as of October 21, 2021 converted to shares of the Company’s common stock was determined as follows:
RPAI common stock outstanding as of October 21, 2021214,797,869

Effects of Accounting Pronouncements
Adoption of New Standards

Leases

On January 1, 2019. we adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") ASU 2016-02, Leases, using the modified retrospective approach along with electing the package of practical expedients. ASU 2016-02 amends the existing accounting


standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making certain changes to lessor accounting, including the accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases. For leases with a term of one year or less,ended December 31, 2021, the Company made an accounting policy election by underlying assetincurred $86.5 million of merger and acquisition costs consisting primarily of fairness opinion, severance charges, legal, professional and data migration costs, which are recorded within “Merger and acquisition costs” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. In addition, the Company assumed approximately $1.8 billion of debt in connection with the Merger.
“Rental income” and “Net loss attributable to not recognize lease liabilitiesKite Realty Group Trust common shareholders” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and right-of-use (ROU) assets, and expenses for these short-term leases is immaterial for all periods presented.

The practical expedientscomprehensive income include the following:

The Company did not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases;
The Company did not reassess the lease classification of any expired or existing leases;
The Company did not reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases; and
The Company elected to not separate non-lease components, such as common area maintenance, of a contractrevenues from the leases toRPAI portfolio of $94.9 million and net loss of $22.8 million for the period from October 22, 2021 through December 31, 2021, which they relate when specific criteria are met.
The new leasing standard also amended ASC 340-40, Other Assetsincludes $74.7 million of depreciation and Deferred Costs - Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 340-40, incremental costs of obtaining a contract are recognized as an asset if the entity expects to recover them.

Provisional Purchase Price Allocation
In accordance with ASC 805-10, Business Combinations, the Company accounted for the Merger as compareda business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. Based on the value of the common shares issued, the total fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Merger was $2.8 billion as of October 22, 2021, the date of the Merger. The following table summarizes the provisional purchase price allocation based on the Company’s initial valuation, including estimates and assumptions of the acquisition date fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed:
Provisional Allocation
Investment properties$4,439,387 
Acquired lease intangible assets524,058

In-place lease liabilities(171,378)
Noncontrolling interests(4,463)
Total liabilities assumed(2,200,708)
Total purchase price$2,847,369 
The fair market value of the acquired properties is based upon a valuation prepared by the Company with assistance of a third-party valuation specialist. As it relates to certain leases and related intangibles, development projects and land held for development, the Company and valuation specialist are still in the process of reviewing the inputs used by the third-party specialist to ensure reasonableness and that the procedures are performed in accordance with management’s policy. Therefore, the final acquisition accounting adjustments, including the purchase price and its allocation, are not yet complete as of this filing. Once the purchase price and allocation are complete, an adjustment to the prior year.provisional purchase price or allocation may occur.

New Standards Issued but Not Yet Adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses." The ASU sets forth a "current expected credit loss" (CECL) model which requires the Company to measure all expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets. Receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of this standard, but rather, are accounted for in accordance with the Leases standard. The new standard is effectivepro forma earnings for the Company beginning with the first quarter of 2020 and will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Note 3. Share-Based Compensation
Overview
The Company's 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), as amended and restated as of February 28, 2019, authorizes options to acquire common shares and other share-based compensation awards to be granted to employees and trustees for up to an additional 3,000,000 common share equivalents of the Company.  The Company accounts for its share-based compensation in accordance with the fair value recognition provisions provided under Topic 718—“Stock Compensation” in the Accounting Standards Codification.

Performance Awards

In 2016, the Compensation Committee established overall target values for incentive compensation for each executive officer, with 40% of the target value being granted in the form of time-based awards and the remaining 60% being granted in the form of performance awards.

In 2017, the Compensation Committee awarded each of the 4 named executive officers a three-year performance award inproperties acquired through asset acquisitions during the form of PSUs. The PSUs may be earned over a three-year performance period from January 1, 2017 toyears ended December 31, 2019. The performance criteria will be based 50% on2021, 2020 and 2019 have been included in operations since their respective dates of acquisition.
NOTE 4. DISPOSALS OF OPERATING PROPERTIES AND IMPAIRMENT CHARGES
During the absolute TSR achieved byyear ended December 31, 2021, the Company over the three-year measurement periodsold 1 operating property, Westside Market, for gross proceeds of $24.8 million and 50% on the relative TSR achieved bya net gain of $4.3 million. In addition, the Company measured againstsold 17 ground leases for gross proceeds of $42.0 million and a peer group over the three-year measurement period. The total numbernet gain of PSUs issued to the executive officers was based on a target value of $2.0 million, but may be earned in a range from 0% to 200%$27.6 million. A portion of the target value depending onproceeds was used to pay down our absolute TSR overunsecured revolving credit facility.
There were no operating properties sold during the measurement period and our relative TSR over the measurement period in relation to the peer group.Approximately 73,000 PSU's were earned based upon the Company's performance on the relative TSR measurement.

In 2018, the Compensation Committee awarded each of the 4 named executive officers a three-year performance award in the form of PSUs. The PSUs may be earned over a three-year performance period from January 1, 2018 toyear ended December 31, 2020. The performance criteria will be based 60% onCompany sold 1 redevelopment property for gross proceeds of $14.0 million and a net gain of $3.1 million during the relative TSR achieved byyear ended December 31, 2020.
During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company measured againstsold 23 operating properties for aggregate gross proceeds of $543.8 million and a peer groupnet gain of $39.0 million.
During 2019, in connection with the preparation and review of the financial statements for the applicable periods, we evaluated a total of 7 operating properties for impairment and recorded a cumulative $37.7 million impairment charge due to changes in facts and circumstances underlying the Company’s expected future hold period of these properties. A shortening of the expected future hold period is considered an impairment indicator under applicable accounting rules, and this indicator caused us to further evaluate the carrying value of these properties. We concluded the estimated undiscounted cash flows over the three-year measurementexpected holding period and 40% ondid not exceed the achievementcarrying value of a defined funds available for distribution ("FAD"). The total number of PSUs issuedthese assets given the new holding period, leading to the executive officers was based upon a targetcharge. We estimated the fair value using the market approach by utilizing recent sales offers without adjustment. We compared the estimated aggregate fair value of $2.4$176.0 million but may be earnedto the carrying values, which resulted in a range of 0% to 200%the recording of the target. Additionally, any PSUs earned based on the achievementnon-cash impairment charge of the pre-established FAD goals will be subject to adjustment (either up or down 25%) based on the Company's absolute TSR over the three-year measurement period.

The 2018 and 2017 PSUs were valued at an aggregate value of $2.2$37.7 million and $2.2 million, respectively, utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation.  We expect to incur $0.7 million of this expense in 2020 and less than $0.1 million in 2021.

AO LTIP Units

During 2019, in connection with its annual review of executive compensation and as describedoperating properties individually, nor in the table below, the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Trustees approved an aggregate, grant of AO LTIP Units (the “awards”) to the Company’s executive officers under the Plan. represent a strategic shift that has had or will have a material effect on our operations or financial results.

The Company entered into an award agreement with each executive officer with respect to his awards, which provide terms of vesting, conversion, distribution, and other terms. AO LTIP Units are designed to have economics similar to stock options and allow the recipient, subject to vesting requirements, to realize value above a threshold level set as of the grant date of the award (the “Participation Threshold”).  The value of vested AO LTIP Units is realized through conversion into a number of vested LTIP Units in the Operating Partnership determined on the basis of how much the value of a common share of the Company has increased over the Participation Threshold. 

The AO LTIP Units are only exercisable and convertible into vested LTIP Units of the Operating Partnership to the extent that they become vested AO LTIP Units.  The awards of AO LTIP Units are subject to both time-based and stock price performance-based vesting requirements.  Subject to the terms of the award agreement, the AO LTIP Units shall vest and become fully exercisable as of the date that both of the following requirements have been met:  (i) the grantee remains in continuous service from the grant date through the third anniversary of the grant date; and (ii) at any time during the five-year period following the grant date, the reported closing price per common share of the Company appreciates at least 20% over the applicable Participation Threshold per AO LTIP Unit (as set forth in the table above) for a minimum of 20 consecutive trading days.  Any AO LTIP Units that do not become vested will be forfeited and become null and void as of the fifth anniversary of the grant date, but AO LTIP Units may also be forfeited earlier in connection with a corporate transaction or with the holder’s termination of service.

The AO LTIP Units were valued using a Monte Carlo simulation, and the resulting total compensation expense of $3.7 million is being amortized over three years. We recognized $1.0 million of compensation expense in 2019. We expect to incur $1.2 million of this expense in 2020, $1.2 million of this expense in 2021, and the remainder in 2022.

In connection with the Merger, we assumed the terms of award agreements governing 56,765 unvested restricted shares (as converted pursuant to the exchange ratio) granted prior to the Merger under RPAI’s equity incentive plan. Each assumed award is a time-vesting award that was issued with a three-year service period, unless accelerated pursuant to the original agreement or otherwise modified in connection with the Merger or the resulting integration.

As of December 31, 2021, there was $3.9 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted shares, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.90 years. We expect to incur $2.7 million of this expense in 2022, $1.0 million in 2023, and the remainder in 2024.
Performance Awards
In 2016, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Trustees established overall target values for incentive compensation for each executive officer, with 40% of the target value being granted in the form of time-based awards and the remaining 60% being granted in the form of performance awards.
In 2018, the Compensation Committee awarded each of the Company’s named executive officers a three-year performance award in the form of performance share units (“PSUs”) that ended on December 31, 2020. The performance criteria was based 60% on the relative Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) achieved by the Company measured against a peer group over the three-year measurement period and 40% on the achievement of a defined funds available for distribution (“FAD”). The total number of PSUs issued to the executive officers was based upon a target value of $2.4 million, but could be earned in a range of 0% to 200% of the target. Additionally, any PSUs earned based on the achievement of the pre-established FAD goals were subject to adjustment (either up or down 25%) based on the Company’s absolute TSR over the three-year measurement period. Approximately 172,000 PSUs were earned based upon the Company’s performance on the relative TSR measurement. The PSUs were valued at an aggregate value of $2.2 million using a Monte Carlo simulation and are fully amortized.
Restricted Units
Time-based restricted unit awards were made on a discretionary basis in 2019, 2020, and 2021 based on a review of each prior year’s performance.

AO LTIP Units
During the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, in connection with its annual review of executive compensation and as described in the table below, the Compensation Committee approved an aggregate grant of AO LTIP Units to the Company’s executive officers under the Plan.

Heath R. Fear 253,416 275,675 119,403 $15.79 $17.76 $16.69 
The Company entered into award agreements with each executive officer with respect to his awards, which provide terms of vesting, conversion, distribution, and other terms. AO LTIP Units are designed to have economics similar to stock options and allow the recipient, subject to vesting requirements, to realize value above a threshold level set as of the grant date of the award (the “Participation Threshold”). The value of vested AO LTIP Units is realized through conversion into a number of vested Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) Units in the Operating Partnership determined on the basis of how much the value of a common share of the Company has increased over the Participation Threshold.
The AO LTIP Units are only exercisable and convertible into vested LTIP Units of the Operating Partnership to the extent that they become vested AO LTIP Units. The awards of AO LTIP Units are subject to both time-based and stock price performance-based vesting requirements. Subject to the terms of the award agreements, the AO LTIP Units shall vest and become fully exercisable as of the date that both of the following requirements have been met: (i) the grantee remains in continuous service from the grant date through the third anniversary of the grant date; and (ii) at any time during the five-year period following the grant date for the 2019 awards and at any time during the period beginning in the second year and ending at the end of the fifth year following the grant date for the 2020 and 2021 awards, the reported closing price per common share of the Company appreciates at least 20% for the 2019 awards and at least 15% for the 2020 and 2021 awards over the applicable Participation Threshold per AO LTIP Unit (as set forth in the table above) for a minimum of 20 consecutive trading days. Any AO LTIP Units that do not become vested will be forfeited and become null and void as of the fifth anniversary of the grant date, but AO LTIP Units may also be forfeited earlier in connection with a corporate transaction or with the holder’s termination of service.
The AO LTIP Units were valued using a Monte Carlo simulation and the resulting compensation expense is being amortized over three years for the 2019 and 2021 awards and five years for the 2020 awards. For the awards granted in 2019, we recognized $1.0 million of compensation expense in 2019, $1.1 million of compensation expense in 2020 and 2021 and expect to recognize the remaining $0.2 million of this expense in 2022. Compensation expense for the awards granted in 2020 totaled $3.6 million, of which we recognized $0.6 million and $0.7 million of compensation expense in 2020 and 2021, respectively, and expect to annually incur $0.7 million of this expense in 2022 through 2024 and the remainder in 2025. Compensation expense for the awards granted in 2021 totaled $3.0 million, of which we recognized $0.9 million of compensation expense in 2021 and expect to annually incur $1.0 million of this expense in 2022 and 2023 and the remainder in 2024.

During 2019, in connection with the preparation and review of the financial statements for the applicable periods, we evaluated a total of 7 operating properties for impairment and recorded a cumulative $37.7 million impairment charge due to changes in facts and circumstances underlying the Company's expected future hold period of these properties. A shortening of the expected future hold period is considered an impairment indicator under applicable accounting rules, and this indicator caused us to further evaluate the carrying value of these properties. We concluded the estimated undiscounted cash flows over the expected


holding period did not exceed the carrying value of these assets given the new holding period, leading to the charge. We estimated the fair value using the market approach by utilizing recent sales offers without adjustment. We compared the estimate aggregate fair value of $176 million to the carrying values, which resulted in the recording of the non-cash impairment charge of $37.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2019.

During the year ended December 31, 2018, we sold 6 operating properties for aggregate gross proceeds of $122.2 million. The following summarizes our 2018 operating property dispositions:

The Company recorded a net gain of $3.4 million as a result of the 2018 disposal activity.

During 2018, in connection with the preparation and review of the financial statements for the applicable periods, we evaluated a total of 7 operating properties and land previously held for development for impairment and recorded a cumulative $70.4 million impairment charge due to changes in facts and circumstances underlying the Company's expected future hold period of these properties and decision to not move forward with development of the land. A shortening of an expected future hold period is considered an impairment indicator under applicable accounting rules, and this indicator caused us to further evaluate the carrying value of these properties. We concluded the estimated undiscounted cash flows over the expected holding period did not exceed the carrying value of these assets given the new holding period, leading to the charge. We estimated the fair value using the market approach by utilizing recent sales offers without adjustment. We compared the estimated aggregate fair value of $130.2 million to the carrying values, which resulted in the recording of the non-cash impairment charges totaling $70.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2018.

As of December 31, 2018, the Company classified its Whitehall Pike operating property as held for sale. This asset was sold in March 2019.

During the year ended December 31, 2017, we sold 4 operating properties for aggregate gross proceeds of $76.1 million and a net gain of $15.2 million. The following summarizes our 2017 operating property dispositions.

In connection with the preparation and review of the financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2017, we evaluated an operating property for impairment including shortening of the intended holding period. We concluded the estimated undiscounted cash flows over the expected holding period did not exceed the carrying value of the asset. The Company estimated the fair value of the property to be $26.0 million using Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy, primarily using the market


approach. We compared the fair value measurement to the carrying value, which resulted in the recording of a non-cash impairment charge of $7.4 million. This property was sold during 2017.

The results of all the operating properties sold in 2019, 2018, and 2017 are not included in discontinued operations in the accompanying statements of operations as none of the operating properties individually, nor in the aggregate, represent a strategic shift that has had or will have a material effect on our operations or financial results.

Private Placement Senior Unsecured Notes Assumed in the Merger
On October 22, 2021, in connection with the Merger, the Operating Partnership entered into a number of assumption agreements pursuant to which the Operating Partnership assumed all of RPAI’s obligations under RPAI’s existing Note Purchase Agreements (“NPAs”) related to an aggregate of $450.0 million in principal of privately placed senior unsecured notes (“Private Placement Notes”). Each series of Private Placement Notes require semi-annual interest payments each year until maturity. The Operating Partnership may prepay at any time all, or from time to time any part of, any series of the Private Placement Notes, in an amount not less than 5% of the aggregate principal amount of such series of the Private Placement Notes then outstanding in the case of a partial prepayment, at 100% of the principal amount so prepaid plus a Make-Whole Amount (as defined in the applicable NPA). The Make-Whole Amount is equal to the excess, if any, of the discounted value of the remaining scheduled payments with respect to the Private Placement Notes being prepaid over the amount of such Notes.
Each NPA contains customary financial maintenance covenants including a maximum total leverage ratio, secured leverage ratio and unsecured leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio. Each NPA also contains restrictive covenants that restrict the ability of the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries to, among other things, enter into transactions with affiliates, merge or consolidate, transfer assets or incur liens.
F-35


Further, each NPA contains customary events of default, including in relation to non-payment, breach of covenants, defaults under certain other indebtedness, judgment defaults and bankruptcy events. In the case of an event of default, the holders of the Private Placement Notes may, among other remedies, accelerate the payment of all obligations.
Publicly Placed Senior Unsecured Notes Assumed in the Merger
On October 22, 2021, in connection with the Merger, the Operating Partnership (as successor by merger to RPAI) assumed all of RPAI’s outstanding $750.0 million aggregate principal of publicly placed senior unsecured notes (“Public Placement Notes”). The Public Placement Notes require semi-annual interest payments each year until maturity.
The Public Placement Notes are the direct, senior unsecured obligations of the Operating Partnership and rank equally in right of payment with all of its existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The Operating Partnership may redeem the Public Placement Notes at its option and in its sole discretion, at any time or from time to time prior to three months prior to the respective maturity date (such date, the “Par Call Date”), at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the applicable Public Placement Notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest and a “make-whole” premium calculated in accordance with the indenture. Redemptions on or after the respective Par Call Date are not subject to the addition of a “make-whole” premium.
Exchangeable Senior Notes
In March 2021, the Operating Partnership issued $175.0 million aggregate principal amount of 0.75% Exchangeable Senior Notes maturing in April 2027 (the “Exchangeable Notes”). The Exchangeable Notes are governed by an indenture between the Operating Partnership, the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The Exchangeable Notes were sold in the U.S. only to accredited investors pursuant to an exemption from the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and subsequently resold to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act. The net proceeds from the offering of the Exchangeable Notes were approximately $169.7 million after deducting the underwriting fees and other expenses paid by the Company.
The Exchangeable Notes bear interest at a rate of 0.75% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears, and will mature on April 1, 2027. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we recognized approximately $1.6 million of interest expense for the Exchangeable Notes.
Prior to January 1, 2027, the Exchangeable Notes will be exchangeable into cash up to the principal amount of the Exchangeable Notes exchanged and, if applicable, cash or common shares or a combination thereof, only upon certain circumstances and during certain periods. On or after January 1, 2027, the Exchangeable Notes will be exchangeable into cash up to the principal amount of the Exchangeable Notes exchanged and, if applicable, cash or common shares or a combination thereof at the option of the holders at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day preceding the Maturity Date. The exchange rate will initially equal 39.6628 common shares per $1,000 principal amount of Exchangeable Notes (equivalent to an exchange price of approximately $25.21 per common share and an exchange premium of approximately 25% based on the closing price of $20.17 per common share on March 17, 2021). The exchange rate will be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid interest.
The Operating Partnership may redeem the Exchangeable Notes, at its option, in whole or in part, on any business day on or after April 5, 2025, if the last reported sale price of the common shares has been at least 130% of the exchange price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the issuer provides notice of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Exchangeable Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.
In connection with the Exchangeable Notes, the Operating Partnership entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions (the “Capped Call Transactions”) with certain of the initial purchasers of the Exchangeable Notes or their respective affiliates. The Capped Call Transactions initially cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the Exchangeable Notes, the number of common shares underlying the Exchangeable Notes. The Capped Call Transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to holders of common shares upon exchange of the Exchangeable Notes. The cap price of the Capped Call Transactions was initially approximately $30.26, which represents a premium of approximately 50% over the last reported sale price of common shares on March 17, 2021 and is subject to anti-dilution adjustments under the terms of the respective loan agreements.Capped Call Transactions. The cost of the Capped Call Transactions was $9.8 million and is recorded within additional paid-in capital.

These interest rate derivative agreements are the only assets or liabilities that we record at fair value on a recurring basis. The valuation of these assets and liabilities is determined using widely accepted techniques including discounted cash flow analysis. These techniques consider the contractual terms of the derivatives (including the period to maturity) and use observable market-based inputs such as interest rate curves and implied volatilities. We also incorporate credit valuation adjustments into the fair value measurements to reflect nonperformance risk on both our part and that of the respective counterparties.


We determined that the majority of the inputs used to value our derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, although the credit valuation adjustments associated with our derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by us and our counterparties. As of December 31, 20192021 and December 31, 2018,2020, we assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of our derivative positions and determined the credit valuation adjustments were not significant to the overall valuation of our derivatives. As a result, we determined our derivative valuations were classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

As of December 31, 2019,2021 and 2020, the estimated fair value of our interest rate derivatives represented a liability of $16.8$35.7 million and $32.1 million, respectively, including accrued interest of $0.1 million.  As of December 31, 2019, this balance is$1.0 million and $0.4 million, respectively. These balances are reflected in accountswithin “Accounts payable and accrued expensesexpenses” on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.  At December 31, 2018 the estimated fair value of our interest rate derivatives was a net liability of $3.5 million, including accrued interest receivable of $0.1 million.  As of December 31, 2018, $3.6 million is reflected in prepaid and other assets and $7.1 million is reflected in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. 
sheets.
Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to earnings over time as the hedged items are recognized in earnings. Approximately $7.7 million and $4.0 million was reclassified as a reduction to earnings during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Approximately $0.6 million was reclassified as an increase to earnings during the year ended December 31, 2019. Approximately $0.8 million and $2.5 million was reclassified as a reduction to earnings during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. As the interest payments on our derivatives are made over the next 12 months, we estimate the increase to interest expense to be $1.5$8.3 million, assuming the current LIBOR curve. 

Unrealized gains and losses on our interest rate derivative agreements are the only components of the change in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

Note 9. Lease Information
NOTE 10. LEASE INFORMATION
Rental Income
The Company receives rental income from the leasing of retail and office space. The leases generally provide for certain increases in base rent, reimbursement for certain operating expenses, and may require tenants to pay contingent rent to the extent their sales exceed a defined threshold. Certain tenants have the option in thetheir lease agreement to extend their lease upon the expiration of their contractual term. Variable lease payments are based upon tenant sales information and are recognized once a tenant'stenant’s sales volume exceeds a defined threshold. Variable lease payments for reimbursement of operating expenses are based upon the operating expense activity for the period.
From a lessor perspective, In connection with the new accounting guidance adopted in 2019 remained mostly similar to legacy GAAP asMerger, the Company elected the practical expedient to not separate non-lease components from lease components. This election resultedassumed all leases in a change on the Company's consolidated statements of operations as the Company no longer presents minimum rentsplace at legacy RPAI properties and tenant reimbursements as separate amounts because the Company now accounts for these amounts as a single combined lease component,began recognizing rental income onunder the basisrespective leases upon completion of the lease component beingMerger.
Rental income related to the predominant componentCompany’s operating leases is comprised of the contract. As such, non-lease components, including common area maintenance reimbursements that are of a fixed nature are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Further, bad debt, which has previously been recorded in property operating expenses, has now been classified as a contra-revenue account in rental income in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive incomefollowing for the yearyears ended December 31, 2019. 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively:

The Company recognized the following lease rental income for the year ended December 31, 2019:

During 2020 and 2021, in response to the impact of the novel coronavirus (“COVID 19”) pandemic, the Company received rent relief requests from a significant proportion of its tenants. Some tenants have asserted various legal arguments that they allege relieve them of the obligation to pay rent during the pandemic; the Company and its legal advisers generally disagree with these legal arguments. The Company has evaluated and will continue to evaluate tenant requests for rent relief based on many factors, including the tenant’s financial strength and operating history, potential co-tenancy impacts, the tenant’s contribution to the shopping center in which it operates, the Company’s assessment of the tenant’s long-term viability, the difficulty or ease with which the tenant could be replaced, and other factors.
As a result of this evaluation, the Company agreed to defer rent for a portion of its tenants, subject to certain conditions. The Company had deferred the collection of $2.9 million of rental income that remains outstanding as of December 31, 2021. To the extent the Company agrees to defer rent or is otherwise unable to collect rent for certain periods, the Company will realize decreased cash flow, which could significantly decrease the cash available for the Company’s operating and $1.1 million, respectively.

Commitments under Ground Leases
In connection with the Merger, the Company assumed 3 ground leases in which we lease (as lessee) all or a portion of the land under 3 retail operating properties acquired.
As of December 31, 2019,2021, we are obligated under 912 ground leases for approximately 4798 acres of land. Most of these ground leases require fixed annual rent payments. The expiration dates of the remaining initial terms of these ground leases range from 2023 to 2092 with a weighted-averageweighted average remaining term of 52.235.6 years. Certain of these leases have five-five- to ten-year10-year extension options ranging in total from 20 to 25 years.

Upon adoption of the Leases standard, the Company did not recognize value during the option period for the right-of-useRight-of-use assets and lease liabilities as it was not probable the extension options will be exercised. Upon adoption, the Company recorded a right of use asset of $27.0 million and corresponding liability of $27.3 million. The right of use asset isare included in prepaidwithin “Prepaid and other assetsassets” and the lease liability isliabilities are included in deferredwithin “Deferred revenue and other liabilities. This value was determined utilizing an estimate of our incremental borrowing rate that was specific to each lease based uponliabilities” in the term and underlying asset.

In 2017, we provided a repayment guaranty on a $33.8 million construction loan associated with the development of the Embassy Suites at the University of Notre Dame, consistent with our 35% ownership interest. Our portion of the repayment guaranty is limited to $5.9 million and the guaranty’s term is through July 1, 2024, the maturity date of the construction loan. As of December 31, 2019,2021, the current outstanding loan balance is $33.6 million, of which our share is $11.8 million.

Legal Proceedings
We are parties to routine litigation, claims, and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Management believes that such matters will not have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows taken as a whole.
As previously disclosed in our joint proxy statement/prospectus, beginning on August 27, 2021, 2 purported RPAI stockholders filed substantially similar complaints against RPAI and the members of the RPAI board of directors (the “RPAI Board”) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. NaN of these complaints also named Kite Realty and Merger Sub as defendants. The complaints were captioned as follows: Wang v. Retail Properties of America, Inc. et al., No. 1:21-cv-07237 (S.D.N.Y. filed August 27, 2021); and Hopkins v. Retail Properties of America, Inc. et al., No. 1:21-cv-07324 (S.D.N.Y. filed August 31, 2021). The complaints variously asserted, among other things, claims under Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Rule 14a-9 promulgated thereunder against RPAI and the members of the RPAI Board and claims under Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act against the members of the RPAI Board (and, in one case, Kite Realty and Merger Sub) for allegedly causing a materially incomplete and misleading registration statement on Form S-4 to be filed on August 23, 2021 with the SEC. NaN additional lawsuits were filed against RPAI and the members of the RPAI Board between September 14, 2021 and October 8, 2021 under the captions Callebs v. Retail Properties of America, Inc. et al., No. 1:21-cv-07593 (S.D.N.Y. filed September 10, 2021); Sheridan v. Retail Properties of America, Inc., et al., No. 1:21-cv-04066-SCJ (N.D.Ga. filed October 1, 2021); Whitfield v.

Ga. filed October 8, 2021), which were substantially similar to the other 2 complaints. Also, on September 15, 2021, a purported Kite Realty shareholder filed a complaint against Kite Realty and the members of the Kite Realty board of trustees in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, captioned as follows: Gentry v. Kite Realty Group Trust et al., No. 1:21-cv-05142 (E.D.N.Y. filed September 15, 2021). The complaint asserted substantially similar claims under Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14a-9 as the other complaints against RPAI and the RPAI Board.

Plaintiffs sought, among other things, to enjoin or rescind the Merger, an award of damages in the event the Merger was consummated, and an award of costs and attorneys’ fees. Subsequent to completion of the RPAI merger, and subsequent to December 31, 2021, the lawsuits described in the preceding paragraph were voluntarily dismissed. We believe that the claims asserted in the actions were without merit.

We reimburse an entityentities owned by certain members of our management for certain travel and related services. During the years ended December 31, 2019, 20182021, 2020 and 2017,2019, we paid $0.8$0.3 million, $0.5 million and $0.3$0.8 million, respectively, to this related entity.

Note 14. Acquisitions

In 2019, we acquired 1 retail operating property for $29.0 million and 1 parking garage for $29.5 million. The fair value of the real estate and other assets acquired were primarily determined using the income approach. The income approach required us to make assumptions about market leasing rates, tenant-related costs, discount rates, and disposal values. The estimates of fair value primarily relied upon Level 2 and Level 3 inputs, as previously defined.

The results of operations for each of the properties acquired during the year ended December 31, 2019 have been included in operations since their respective dates of acquisition.

The following table summarizes the estimation of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the properties acquired in 2019:

Deferred revenue and other liabilities371
Total assumed liabilities966
  
Fair value of acquired net assets$58,205


The leases at the acquired properties had a weighted average remaining life at acquisition of approximately 5.6 years.



The range of the most significant Level 3 assumptions utilized in determining the value of the real estate and related assets acquired are as follows:

  Low High
Net rental rate per square foot - Anchors $11.00
