EXPLANATORY NOTE

(Dollars in thousands, except share data)

This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 of CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. and CBL & Associates Limited Partnership. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to the "Company" mean CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. and its subsidiaries. References to the "Operating Partnership" mean CBL & Associates Limited Partnership and its subsidiaries. The terms "we," "us" and "our" refer to the Company or the Company and the Operating Partnership collectively, as the context requires.

As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 30, the Company relied on Release No. 34-88465 issued by the SEC on March 25, 2020, pursuant to Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, to delay the filing of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q due to circumstances related to the current novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic. The need to address the immediate and evolving impacts of COVID-19 on the Company’s business and operations, including impacts on the operations at each of its properties, increased the demands on its employees at a time when normal working conditions were altered, with health and safety precautions in mind, to accommodate a “work from home” model.

The Company is a real estate investment trust ("REIT") whose stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange. The Company is the 100% owner of two qualified REIT subsidiaries, CBL Holdings I, Inc. and CBL Holdings II, Inc. At June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, CBL Holdings I, Inc., the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, owned a 1.0% general partner interest in the Operating Partnership and CBL Holdings II, Inc. owned an 85.6%94.2% limited partner interest for a combined interest held by the Company of 86.6%95.2%.

As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Company's subsidiary, CBL Holdings I, Inc., has exclusive control of the Operating Partnership's activities. Management operates the Company and the Operating Partnership as one business. The management of the Company consists of the same individuals that manage the Operating Partnership. The Company's only material asset is its indirect ownership of partnership interests of the Operating Partnership. As a result, the Company conducts substantially all its business through the Operating Partnership as described in the preceding paragraph. The Company also issues public equity from time to time and guarantees certain debt of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership holds all of the assets and indebtedness of the Company and, through affiliates, retains the ownership interests in the Company's joint ventures. Except for the net proceeds of offerings of equity by the Company, which are contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for partnership units on a one-for-one basis, the Operating Partnership generates all remaining capital required by the Company's business through its operations and its incurrence of indebtedness.

We believe that combining the two quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the Company and the Operating Partnership provides the following benefits:

enhances investors' understanding of the Company and the Operating Partnership by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner that management views and operates the business;

enhances investors' understanding of the Company and the Operating Partnership by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner that management views and operates the business;

eliminates duplicative disclosure and provides a more streamlined and readable presentation, since a substantial portion of the disclosure applies to both the Company and the Operating Partnership; and

eliminates duplicative disclosure and provides a more streamlined and readable presentation, since a substantial portion of the disclosure applies to both the Company and the Operating Partnership;

creates time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.

creates time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.

To help investors understand the differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership, this report provides separate condensed consolidated financial statements for the Company and the Operating Partnership. Noncontrolling interests, shareholders' equity and partners' capital are the main areas of difference between the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and those of the Operating Partnership. A single set of notes to condensed consolidated financial statements is presented that includes separate discussions for the Company and the Operating Partnership, when applicable. A combined Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section is also included that presents combined information and discrete information related to each entity, as applicable.

In order to highlight the differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership, this report includes the following sections that provide separate financial and other information for the Company and the Operating Partnership:

condensed consolidated financial statements;

condensed consolidated financial statements;

certain accompanying notes to condensed consolidated financial statements, including Note 7- Unconsolidated Affiliates and Noncontrolling Interests; Note 8- Mortgage and Other Indebtedness, Net; and Note 11- Earnings per Share and Earnings per Unit;

Combined Guarantor Subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership

In January 2019, the Operating Partnership entered into a new $1,185,000 senior secured credit facility which replaced all of the Operating Partnership’s prior unsecured bank facilities. The secured credit facility is secured by 17 malls and 3 associated centers that are directly or indirectly owned by 36 wholly owned subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership (collectively the “Combined Guarantor Subsidiaries”). The Combined Guarantor Subsidiaries own an additional fivefour malls, onetwo associated centercenters and four mortgage notes receivable that are not collateral for the secured credit facility. The properties that are collateral for the secured credit facility and the properties and mortgage notes receivable that are not collateral are collectively referred to as the “Guarantor Properties.” In addition to the secured credit facility, the Operating Partnership’s debt includes three separate series of senior unsecured notes (the “Notes”). Based on the terms of the Notes, to the extent that any subsidiary of the Operating Partnership executes and delivers a guarantee to another debt facility, the Operating Partnership shall also cause the subsidiary to guarantee the Operating Partnership’s obligations under the Notes on a senior basis. In January 2019, the Combined Guarantor Subsidiaries entered a guarantee agreement with the issuer of the Notes to satisfy the guaranty requirement.    

This report also includes as an exhibit the condensed combined financial statements and notes to the condensed combined financial statements of the Combined Guarantor Subsidiaries. Each of the Combined Guarantor Subsidiaries meet the criteria in Rule 3-10(f) of SEC Regulation S-X to provide condensed consolidating financial information as additional disclosure in the notes to the Operating Partnership's condensed consolidated financial statements or within Management’s Discussion and Analysis which accompanies the condensed consolidated financial statements because each Combined Guarantor Subsidiary is 100% owned by the Operating Partnership, the guaranty issued by each Combined Guarantor Subsidiary is full and unconditional and the guaranty issued by each Combined Guarantor Subsidiary is joint and several. However, the Operating Partnership has elected to provide condensed combined financial statements and accompanying notes for the Combined Guarantor Subsidiaries in lieu of including the condensed consolidating financial information in the notes to its condensed consolidated financial statements. These condensed combined financial statements and notes are presented as an exhibit to this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for ease of reference.

Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications2019.

COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and likely will continue to have, been maderepercussions across local, national and global economies and financial markets. COVID-19 has impacted all states where the Company’s tenants operate their businesses or where the Company’s properties are located and measures taken to amountsprevent or remediate COVID-19, including “shelter-in place” or “stay-at-home” orders or other quarantine mandates issued by local, state or federal authorities, have had an adverse effect on its business and the businesses of its tenants. The full extent of the adverse impact on, among other things, the Company’s results of operations, liquidity (including its ability to access capital markets), the possibility of future impairments of long-lived assets or its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, its compliance with debt covenants, its ability to renew and re-lease its leased space, the Company's prior-year financial statementsoutlook for the retail environment, potential bankruptcies or other store closings and its ability to conformdevelop, acquire, dispose or lease properties, is unknown and will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. The Company expects a material adverse impact on its revenues, results of operations, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2020. The situation is rapidly changing and additional impacts to the currentbusiness may arise that the Company is not aware of currently.

Listing Criteria

On February 5, 2020, the Company received notice from the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") that its common stock is no longer in compliance with NYSE continued listing criteria set forth in Section 802.01C of the Listed Company Manual of the NYSE, which require listed companies to maintain an average closing share price of at least $1.00 over a period presentation.of 30 consecutive trading days. The Company reclassified certain amounts related to operating expense reimbursements in its condensed consolidated statementshas until October 14, 2020, inclusive of operations forextensions of the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 related tocure period provided by the adoption of ASC 606. As a result, operating expense reimbursements of $2,168 and $4,511, previously included in tenant reimbursements, were reclassified to other revenues for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. Additionally, the Company reclassified minimum rents, percentage rents, other rents and tenant reimbursements into one line item, rental revenues, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 related to the adoption of ASC 842. Lastly, in accordance with ASC 360, andNYSE in response to the SEC's "Disclosure Update and Simplification" release effective November 5, 2018,COVID-19 pandemic, to regain compliance with the continued listing criteria. During this period, the Company reclassified gainsexpects its common stock to continue to trade on the NYSE, which will allow for flexibility in addressing this matter. On May 7, 2020, the Company’s shareholders voted to approve an amendment to the Company’s Amended and losses resulting from wholly owned real estate dispositionsRestated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, to effect a reverse stock split at a ratio between 1-for-5 and 1-for-25, and a proportionate reduction in the number of authorized shares of common stock, to be determined at the discretion of the board of directors for the purpose of complying with NYSE Listing Standards, subject to the board of directors’ discretion to abandon this amendment. The Company’s board of directors has not yet taken action to effect the reverse stock split . The Company intends to actively evaluate and monitor the price of its common stock between now and October 2020. A delisting of the Company’s common stock from the line item following "Income (loss) from continuing operations before gain on salesNYSE could negatively impact it by, among other things, reducing the trading liquidity of, real estate assets"and the market price for, its common stock.

Liquidity and Going Concern Considerations

In accordance with the accounting guidance related to the "Other Income (Expenses)" sectionpresentation of financial statements, when preparing financial statements for each annual and interim reporting period, management evaluates whether there are conditions or events that, when considered in the aggregate, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. In making its condensed consolidated statementsassessment, management considered the Company’s current financial condition and liquidity sources, including current funds available, forecasted future cash flows and conditional and unconditional obligations due over the next twelve months.  

The Company was in compliance with the financial covenants of operations. Asits secured credit facility and the senior unsecured notes (the “Notes”) as of March 31, 2020, with the exception of one covenant under the secured credit facility. At March 31, 2020, the Company was not in compliance with a covenant under the secured credit facility, which provides that the Company may not have more than $100,000 of cash on hand that constitutes borrowings on the secured line of credit. In March 2020, the Company drew $280,000 from the secured line of credit and anticipated promptly purchasing $180,000 of U.S. Treasury securities, which would leave $100,000 of cash on hand from such borrowings. However, due to market conditions, the Company was not able to purchase the U.S. Treasury securities promptly, which resulted in the Company violating this covenant. Violation of this covenant provides the lenders with the option to accelerate the maturity of the senior secured credit facility. The administrative agent of the secured credit facility notified the Company that it was in default and that the administrative agent and lenders reserve all rights and remedies under the secured credit facility. The lenders have not exercised their right to accelerate the maturity of the secured credit facility. In March 2020, the Company used $154,228

12


Table of Contents

to purchase U.S. Treasury securities and subsequent to March 31, 2020 utilized an additional $ 26,366 to fund April debt service payments and operating expenses, which reduced the amount of cash on hand that constitutes borrowings on the secured line of credit to less than $ 100,000 . However, this did not cure the default per the terms of the senior secured credit facility. Management will pursue obtaining a waiver from the lenders. If management is not able to obtain a waiver directly, then management will seek to obtain a waiver as part of the alternatives it is exploring, as described below.

The Company has considered the projected impact of COVID-19 on its cash flows and its analysis of future compliance with the financial covenants and has determined that it is probable it will fail to meet the minimum debt yield covenant under the senior secured credit facility during the third quarter of 2020, the fourth quarter of 2020 and the first quarter of 2021. The minimum debt yield covenant provides that the ratio of the adjusted net operating income, as defined, of the borrowing base properties that secure the senior secured credit facility to the total outstanding balance on the senior secured credit facility must be greater than 10.0%. Violation of this covenant provides the lenders with the option to accelerate the maturity of the senior secured credit facility. The Company could remain in compliance with the debt yield covenant if it (i) added additional unencumbered assets to the collateral pool, subject to lender approval, which is not to be unreasonably withheld, (ii) paid down the amount of debt outstanding with projected available cash or (iii) negotiated a waiver of the covenant with the lenders.

Management has engaged Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP and Moelis & Company LLC (the “Advisors”) to assist the Company in exploring several alternatives to reduce overall leverage and interest expense and to extend the maturity of its debt including (i) the senior secured credit facility, which includes a revolving facility with a balance of $675,925 and term loan with a balance of $456,250 as of March 31, 2020, that matures in July 2023and (ii) the Notes with balances of $450,000, $300,000, and $625,000, as of March 31, 2020, that mature in December 2023 , October 2024 and December 2026 , respectively, as well as the cumulative unpaid dividends on the Company’s preferred stock and the special common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. The Advisors recently commenced discussions with advisors to certain holders of the Notes and the credit committee of the senior secured credit facility. Management may pursue a comprehensive solution that includes a potential exchange of debt with the holders of the Notes, addressing the preferred stock of the Company and the special common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership, amendments to the financial covenants under the senior secured credit facility and the Notes and other options that may result in the reorganization of the Company.

As described in Note 15 – Subsequent Events, the Company elected to not make the $11,813 interest payment due and payable on June 1, 2020, with respect to the Operating Partnership’s 5.25% senior unsecured notes due 2023 (the “2023 Notes”) (the “Interest Payment”). Under the indenture governing the 2023 Notes, the Operating Partnership has a 30-day grace period to make the Interest Payment before the nonpayment is considered an event of default with respect to the 2023 Notes. Any event of default under the 2023 Notes for nonpayment of the Interest Payment would also be considered an event of default under the Operating Partnership’s senior secured credit facility, which could lead to an acceleration of amounts due under the facility. Further, if the trustee for the 2023 Notes should exercise its right to accelerate the maturity of the full balance owed on the 2023 Notes as a result of such an event of default, that would also constitute an event of default under the Operating Partnership’s 4.60% senior unsecured notes due 2024 and the Operating Partnership’s 5.95% senior notes due 2026, which could lead to the acceleration of all amounts due under those notes. The Company has elected to enter the 30-day grace period with respect to the Interest Payment in order to advance discussions with its lenders and explore alternative strategies. The Company was notified by the administrative agent of the senior secured credit facility that the failure to make the Interest Payment constitutes a default under the senior secured credit facility and that, if not cured within the applicable 30-day grace period, it will be an event of default under the senior secured credit facility. The Company could prevent an event of default if it paid the Interest Payment prior to the expiration of the 30-day grace period or if it reached an alternative arrangement with the holders of the 2023 Notes.

Given the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the retail and broader markets, the ongoing weakness of the credit markets and significant uncertainties associated with each of these matters, the Company believes that there is substantial doubt that it will continue to operate as a going concern within one year after the date these condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.  The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of operations,America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments related to the recoverability of assets and satisfaction of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company reclassified $3,747 and $8,118be unable to the "Other Income (Expenses)" section for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively.

ASU 2016-02, Leases, and related subsequent amendments
January 1, 2019 -
Modified Retrospective (elected optional transition method to apply at adoption date and record cumulative-effect adjustment as of January 1, 2019)
The objective of the leasing guidance is to increase transparency and comparability by recognizing lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. Putting nearly all leases on the balance sheet is the biggest change for lessees, as lessees will now be required to recognize a right-of-use

Accounting Standards Update (“ROU”ASU”) asset and corresponding lease liability for leases with terms greater than 12 months. Under the FASB model, lessees will classify a lease as either a finance lease or an operating lease, while a lessor will classify a lease as either a sales-type, direct financing, or operating lease. A lessee should classify a lease based on whether the arrangement is effectively a purchase of the underlying asset. Leases that transfer control of the underlying asset to a lessee are classified as finance leases for lessees and sales-type leases for lessors, whereas leases where the lessee obtains control of only the use of the underlying asset, but not the underlying asset itself, will be classified as operating leases for both lessees and lessors. A lease may meet the lessee finance lease criteria even when control of the underlying asset is not transferred to the lessee, and in these cases the lease would be classified as an operating lease for the lessee and a direct finance lease by the lessor. The guidance to be applied by lessors is substantially similar to existing GAAP. In order to align lessor accounting with the principles in the revenue recognition guidance in ASC 606, a lessor is precluded from recognizing selling profit or sales revenue at lease commencement for a lease that does not transfer control of the underlying asset to the lessee. As a lessee, the guidance impacted the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements through the recognition of right-of-use ("ROU") assets and corresponding lease liabilities for operating leases as of January 1, 2019. As a lessor, the guidance impacted the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements in regard to the narrowed definition of initial direct costs that can be capitalized, the change in the presentation of rental revenues as one line item and the change in reporting uncollectable operating lease receivables as a reduction of rental revenues instead of property operating expense. The adoption did not result in a cumulative catch-up adjustment to opening equity. See Note 4 for further details.

Lease Modification Q&A

In April 2020, the FASB issued a question-and-answer document (the “Lease Modification Q&A”) focused on the application of lease accounting guidance related to lease concessions provided as a result of COVID-19. Under existing lease guidance, the Company would have to determine, on a lease by lease basis, if a lease concession was the result of a new arrangement reached with the tenant (treated within the lease modification accounting framework) or if a lease concession was under the enforceable

rights and obligations within the existing lease agreement (precluded from applying the lease modification accounting framework). The Lease Modification Q&A clarifies that entities may elect to not evaluate whether lease-related relief that lessors provide to mitigate the economic effects of COVID-19 on lessees is a lease modification under Topic 842, Leases. Instead, an entity that elects not to evaluate whether a concession directly related to COVID-19 is a modification can then elect whether to apply the modification guidance (i.e. assume the relief was always contemplated by the contract or assume the relief was not contemplated by the contract). Both lessees and lessors may make this election. The Company is evaluating its election on a disaggregated basis, with such election applied consistently to leases with similar characteristics and similar circumstances. The future impact of the Lease Modification Q&A 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. The Company is evaluating the impact that this update may have on its condensed consolidated financial statements orand related disclosures.


Carrying Value of Long-Lived Assets

The Company evaluates its real estate assets and investment in unconsolidated affiliates for impairment indicators whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that recoverability of its investment in the asset is not reasonably assured. Furthermore, this evaluation is conducted no less frequently than quarterly, irrespective of changes in circumstances. The prolonged outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in sustained closure of the Company’s properties, as well as the cessation of the operations of certain of its tenants, which will likely result in a reduction in the revenues and cash flows of many of its properties due to the adverse financial impacts on its tenants, as well as reductions in other sources of income generated by its properties. In addition to reduced revenues, the Company’s ability to obtain sufficient financing for such properties may be impaired as well as its ability to lease or re-lease properties as a result of worsening market and economic conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

As of March 31, 2020, the Company’s evaluation of impairment considered its estimate of cash flow declines caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, but its other assumptions, including estimated hold period, were generally unchanged given the highly uncertain environment. The worsening of estimated future cash flows due to a change in the Company’s plans, policies, or views of market and economic conditions as it relates to one or more of its properties adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic could result in the recognition of substantial impairment charges on its assets, which could adversely impact its financial results. For the period ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded $133,644 of impairment charges for 2 of its malls and 6 other properties had impairment indicators; however, based on the Company’s plans with respect to those properties and the economic environment as of March 31, 2020, 0 additional impairment charges were recorded.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Operating expense reimbursements
Under operating and other agreements with third parties that own anchor or outparcel buildings at

Expected credit losses

During the Company's properties and pay no rent,three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company receives reimbursements for certain operating expenses such as ring roadindividually evaluated tenant receivables within the scope of ASC 606, of which a significant portion are short term. Based on this information and parking lot maintenance, landscaping and other fees. These arrangements are primarily either set at a fixed rate with rate increases typically every five years or are on a variable (pro rata) basis, typically as a percentage of costs allocated based on square footage or sales. The majority of these contracts have an initial term and one or more extension options, which cumulatively approximate 50 or more years as historically the initial term and any extension options are reasonably certain of being executed by the third party. The standalone selling price of each performance obligation is determined based on the termsquarterly analysis of the contract, which typically assign a pricetenant receivables, the Company wrote off $220 that was deemed uncollectable related to each performance obligation that directly relates to the value the customer receivesthis class of receivables for the services being provided. Revenue is recognized as services are transferred to the customer. Variable consideration is based on historical experience and is generally recognized over time using the


cost-to-cost method of measurement because it most accurately depicts the Company's performance in satisfying the performance obligation. The cumulative catch-up method is used to recognize any adjustments in variable consideration estimates. Under this method, any adjustment is recognized in the period it is identified.
Management, development and leasing fees
The Company earns revenue from contracts with third parties and unconsolidated affiliates for property management, leasing, development and other services. These contracts are accounted for on a month-to-month basis if the agreement does not contain substantive penalties for termination. The majority of the Company's contracts with customers are accounted for on a month-to-month basis. The standalone selling price of each performance obligation is determined based on the terms of the contract, which typically assign a price to each performance obligation that directly relates to the value the customer receives for the services being provided. These contracts generally are for the following:
Management fees - Management fees are charged as a percentage of revenues (as defined in the contract) and recognized as revenue over time as services are provided.
Leasing fees - Leasing fees are charged for newly executed leases and lease renewals and are recognized as revenue upon lease execution, when the performance obligation is completed. In cases for which the agreement specifies 50% of the leasing commission will be paid upon lease execution with the remainder paid when the tenant opens, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration it expects to receive by evaluating the likelihood of tenant openings using the most likely amount method and records the amount as an unbilled receivable (contract asset).
Development fees - Development fees may be either set as a fixed rate in a separate agreement or be a variable rate based on a percentage of work costs. Variable consideration related to development fees is generally recognized over time using the cost-to-cost method of measurement because it most accurately depicts the Company's performance in satisfying the performance obligation. Contract estimates are based on various assumptions including the cost and availability of materials, anticipated performance and the complexity of the work to be performed. The cumulative catch-up method is used to recognize any adjustments in variable consideration estimates. Under this method, any adjustment is recognized in the period it is identified.
Development and leasing fees received from an unconsolidated affiliate are recognized as revenue only to the extent of the third-party partner’s ownership interest. The Company's share of such fees is recorded as a reduction to the Company’s investment in the unconsolidated affiliate.
Marketing revenues
The Company earns marketing revenues from advertising and sponsorship agreements. These fees may be for tangible items in which the Company provides advertising services and creates signs and other promotional materials for the tenant or may be arrangements in which the customer sponsors a play area or event and receives specified brand recognition and other benefits over a set period of time. Revenue related to advertising services is recognized as goods and services are provided to the customer. Sponsorship revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the time period specified in the contract.
Performance obligations
A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to a customer. If the contract does not specify the revenue by performance obligation, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. Such prices are generally determined using prices charged to customers or using the Company’s expected cost plus margin. Revenue is recognized as the Company’s performance obligations are satisfied over time, as services are provided, or at a point in time, such as leasing a space to earn a commission. Open performance obligations are those in which the Company has not fully or has partially provided the applicable good or services to the customer as specified in the contract. If consideration is received in advance of the Company’s performance, including amounts which are refundable, recognition of revenue is deferred until the performance obligation is satisfied or amounts are no longer refundable.

Practical Expedients
The Company does not disclose the value of open performance obligations for (1) contracts with an original expected duration of one year or less and (2) contracts for which the Company recognizes revenue at the amount to which the Company has the right to invoice, which primarily relate to services performed for certain operating expense reimbursements and management, leasing and development activities, as described above. Performance obligations related to pro rata operating expense reimbursements for certain noncancellable contracts are disclosed below.

Note 4 – Leases

Adoption of ASU 2016-02, and all related subsequent amendments

The Company adopted ASC 842 (which includes ASU 2016-02 and all related subsequent amendments) on January 1, 2019 and applied the guidance to leases that commenced on or after January 1, 2019. Historical amounts for prior periods were not adjusted and will continue to be reported using the guidance in ASC 840, LessorLeases.

To determine whether a contract contains a lease, the Company evaluated its contracts and verified that there was an identified asset and that the Company, or the tenant, has the right to obtain substantially all the economic benefits from the use of the asset throughout the contract term. If a contract is determined to contain a lease, the lease is evaluated to determine whether it is an operating or financing lease, if the Company is the lessee, or the lease is evaluated to determine whether it is an operating, direct financing or sales-type lease, if the Company is the lessor. After determining that the contract contains a lease, the Company identified the lease component and any nonlease components associated with that lease component, and through the Company’s election to combine lease and nonlease components for all asset classes, combined the components into a single lease component within each applicable lease where the Company is the lessor.
The discount rate to be used for each lease was determined by assessing the Company’s debt information, assessing the credit rating of the Company and the Company’s debt, estimating a synthetic “secured” credit rating for the Company and estimating an appropriate incremental borrowing rate. Rental expense for lease payments related to operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
See Note 2 for additional information about these accounting standards.
Lessor
Rental Revenues
The majority of the Company’s revenues are earned through the lease of space at its properties. All of the Company's leases with tenants for the use of space at our properties are classified as operating leases. Rental revenues include minimum rent, percentage rent, other rents and reimbursements from tenants for real estate taxes, insurance, common area maintenance ("CAM") and other operating expenses as provided in the lease agreements. The option to extend or terminate our leases is specific to each underlying tenant agreement. Typically, the Company's leases contain penalties for early termination. The Company doesn't have any leases that convey the right for the lessee to purchase the leased asset.

Minimum rental revenue from operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the initial terms of the related leases. Certain tenants are required to pay percentage rent if their sales volumes exceed thresholds specified in their lease agreements. Percentage rent is recognized as revenue when the thresholds are achieved and the amounts become determinable.
The Company receives reimbursements from tenants for real estate taxes, insurance, CAM and other recoverable operating expenses as provided in the lease agreements. Any tenant reimbursements that require fixed payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the initial terms of the related leases, whereas any variable payments are recognized when earned in accordance with the tenant lease agreements. Tenant reimbursements related to certain capital expenditures are billed to tenants over periods of 5 to 15 years.
Additionally, ASU 2018-19 clarifies that operating lease receivables are within the scope of ASC 842. Therefore, in conjunction with our adoption of ASC 842 on January 1, 2019, the Company began recognizing changes in the collectability assessment of its operating lease receivables as a reduction of rental revenues, rather than as a property operating expense. As a result, the Company recognized $152 and $1,692 of uncollectable operating lease receivables as a reduction of rental revenues for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, and recognized $745 and $2,786 of uncollectable operating lease receivables as a property operating expense for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively.

Lessee

The Company has eight8 ground leases and one1 office lease in which it is a lessee. The maturities of these leases range from 2021 to 2089 and generally provide for renewal options ranging from five to ten years. We included the renewal options in our lease terms for purposes of calculating our lease liability and ROU asset becausewhere we have no plans to ceasecontinue operating our assets under the current terms associated with each ground lease. The ground leases relate to properties where the Company owns the buildings and improvements, but leases the underlying land. The lease payments on the majority of the ground leases are fixed, but in the instances where they are variable they are either based on the CPI index or a percentage of sales. The one office lease is subleased as of June 30, 2019.March 31, 2020. As of June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, these leases have a weighted-average remaining lease term of 39.342.7 years and a weighted-average discount rate of 8.0%8.1%.

The Company's ROU asset and lease liability are presented in the condensed consolidated balance sheets within intangible lease assets and other assets and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, respectively.

Note 5 – Fair Value Measurements

The Company has categorized its financial assets and financial liabilities that are recorded at fair value into a hierarchy in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure, ("ASC 820") based on whether the inputs to valuation techniques are observable or unobservable.  The fair value hierarchy contains three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value as follows:

Level 1 –

Inputs represent quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities as of the measurement date.

Level 2 –

Inputs, other than those included in Level 1, represent observable measurements for similar instruments in active markets, or identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and observable measurements or market data for instruments with substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 –

Inputs represent unobservable measurements, supported by little, if any, market activity, and require considerable assumptions that are significant to the fair value of the asset or liability.  Market valuations must often be determined using discounted cash flow methodologies, pricing models or similar techniques based on the Company’s assumptions and best judgment.

The asset or liability's fair value within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Under ASC 820, fair value measurements are determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability in an orderly transaction at the measurement date and under current market conditions. Valuation techniques used maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and consider assumptions such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions and risk of nonperformance.


Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are reasonable estimates of their fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments.  Based on the interest rates for similar financial instruments, the carrying value of mortgage and other notes receivable is a reasonable estimate of fair value.  The estimated fair value of mortgage and other indebtedness was $3,479,729$2,661,981 and $3,740,431$2,970,246 at June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018,2019, respectively.  The fair value was calculated using Level 2 inputs by discounting future cash flows for mortgage and other indebtedness using estimated market rates at which similar loans would be made currently.

During March 2020, the Company purchased U.S. Treasury securities that are scheduled to mature between April 2021 and June 2021. The Company has designated these securities as available-for-sale (“AFS”). The fair value of these securities was calculated based on quoted market prices in active markets and are included in the Level 1 fair value hierarchy. The Company believes the market for U.S. Treasury securities is an actively traded market given the high level of daily trading volume. The following table sets forth information regarding the Company’s AFS securities that were measured at fair value for the three months ended March 31, 2020:

U.S Treasury securities have a long history with no credit losses. Additionally, the Company notes that U.S Treasury securities are explicitly fully guaranteed by a sovereign entity that can print its own currency and that the sovereign entity’s currency is routinely held by central banks and other major financial institutions, is used in international commerce, and commonly viewed as a reserve currency, all of which qualitatively indicate that historical credit loss information should be minimally affected by current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Therefore, the Company did not record expected credit losses for its U.S Treasury securities for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

The Company adopted the ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326), on January 1, 2020. Under ASC Topic 326-30, the Company elected to exclude applicable accrued interest from both the fair value and the amortized cost basis of the available-for-sale debt securities, and separately present the accrued interest receivable balance within the Other Receivables line item of the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The accrued interest receivables balance totaled $1,082 as of March 31, 2020. The Company elected not to measure an allowance for credit losses on accrued interest receivable as an allowance on possible uncollectable accrued interest receivable is recorded in a timely manner.

Fair Value Measurements on a Nonrecurring Basis

The Company measures the fair value of certain long-lived assets on a nonrecurring basis, through quarterly impairment testing or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. The Company considers both quantitative and qualitative factors in its impairment analysis of long-lived assets. Significant quantitative factors include historical and forecasted information for each property such as net operating income ("NOI"), occupancy statistics and sales levels. Significant qualitative factors used include market conditions, age and condition of the property and tenant mix. Due to the significant unobservable estimates and assumptions used in the valuation of long-lived assets that experience impairment, the Company classifies such long-lived assets under Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Level 3 inputs primarily consist of sales and market data, independent valuations and discounted cash flow models.

In accordance with the Company's quarterly impairment process, the Company wrote down the book value of the mall to its estimated fair value of $56,300. The mall had experienced a decline in cash flows due to store closures and rent reductions. Additionally, one anchor was vacant as of the date of impairment. These factors resulted in a reduction of the expected hold period for this asset based on Management’s assessment that there was an increased likelihood that the loan secured by the mall may not be successfully restructured or refinanced. Management determined the fair value of Greenbrier Mall using a discounted cash flow methodology.

In June 2018, the Company was notified by IKEA that, as a result of a shift in its corporate strategy, it was terminating the contract to purchase land at the mall upon which it would develop and open a store. Under the terms of the interest-only non-recourse loan secured by the mall, the loan matures on the date the IKEA contract terminates if that date is prior to the scheduled maturity date of March 5, 2019. The Company engaged in conversations with the lender regarding a potential restructure of the loan. Based on the results of these conversations, the Company concluded that an impairment was required because it was unlikely to recover the asset's net carrying value through future cash flows. Management determined the fair value of Cary Towne Center using a discounted cash flow methodology. The discounted cash flow used assumptions including a 10-year holding period, a capitalization rate of 12.0% and a discount rate of 13%. See Note 8 for additional information.

Note 6 – Dispositions and Held for Sale

Variable Interest Entities

In accordance with the guidance in ASU 2015-02, Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis,and ASU 2016-17, Interests Held Through Related Parties That Are under Common Control, the Operating Partnership and certain of its subsidiaries are deemed to have the characteristics of a VIE primarily because the limited partners of these entities do not collectively possess substantive kick-out or participating rights.

The Company consolidates the Operating Partnership, which is a VIE, for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company, through the Operating Partnership, consolidates all VIEs for which it is the primary beneficiary. Generally, a VIE is a legal entity in which the equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or the equity investors lack sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. A limited partnership is considered a VIE when the majority of the limited partners unrelated to the general

Table of Contents

The secured credit facility is secured by 17 malls and 3 associated centers that are owned by 36 wholly owned subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership (collectively the “Combined Guarantor Subsidiaries”). The Combined Guarantor Subsidiaries own an additional five 4 malls, two2 associated centers and four4 mortgage notes receivable that are not collateral for the secured credit facility. The properties that are collateral for the secured credit facility and the properties and mortgage notes receivable that are not collateral are collectively referred to as the “Guarantor Properties.” The terms of the Notes provide that, to the extent that any subsidiary of the Operating Partnership executes and delivers a guarantee to another debt facility, the Operating Partnership shall also cause the subsidiary to guarantee the Operating Partnership’s obligations under the Notes on a senior basis. In January 2019, the Combined Guarantor Subsidiaries entered into a guarantee agreement with the issuer of the Notes to satisfy the guaranty requirement.

Each of the Combined Guarantor Subsidiaries meet the criteria in Rule 3-10(f) of SEC Regulation S-X to provide condensed consolidating financial information as additional disclosure in the notes to the Operating Partnership's consolidated financial statements or within Management’s Discussion and Analysis which accompanies the condensed consolidated financial statements because each Combined Guarantor Subsidiary is 100% owned by the Operating Partnership, the guaranty issued by each Combined Guarantor Subsidiary is full and unconditional and the guaranty issued by each Combined Guarantor Subsidiary is joint and several. However, the Operating Partnership has elected to provide condensed combined financial statements and accompanying notes for the Combined Guarantor Subsidiaries in lieu of including the condensed consolidating financial information in the notes to its condensed consolidated financial statements. These condensed combined financial statements and notes are presented as an exhibit to this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for ease of reference.

Financial Covenants and Restrictions

The agreements for the Notes and the senior secured credit facility contain, among other restrictions, certain financial covenants including the maintenance of certain financial coverage ratios, minimum unencumbered asset and interest ratios, maximum secured indebtedness ratios, maximum total indebtedness ratios and limitations on cash flow distributions.  The Company believes that it was in compliance with all financial covenants and restrictions at June 30, 2019.

The following presents the Company's compliance with key covenant ratios, as defined, of the Notes and the senior secured credit facility as of June 30, 2019:
RatioRequiredActual
Total debt to total assets< 60%52%
Secured debt to total assets
< 40% (1)
34%
Total unencumbered assets to unsecured debt> 150%191%
Consolidated income available for debt service to annual debt service charge> 1.5x2.3x
(1)
Secured debt to total assets must be less than 40% for the 2026 Notes. Secured debt to total assets must be less than 45% for the 2023 Notes and the 2024 Notes until January 1, 2020, after which the required ratio will be reduced to 40%.

The agreements for the Notes and senior secured credit facility described above contain default provisions customary for transactions of this nature (with applicable customary grace periods). Additionally, any default in the payment of any recourse indebtedness greater than or equal to $50,000 of the Operating Partnership will constitute an event of default under the Notes.

Notes and the senior secured credit facility. Additionally, the senior secured credit facility contains a provision that any default on a payment of non-recourse indebtedness in excess of $150,000 is also a default of the senior secured credit facility.

At March 31, 2020, the Company was not in compliance with a covenant under the secured credit facility, which provides that the Company will not have more than $100,000 of cash on hand that constitutes borrowings on the secured line of credit. The Company has also determined that it is probable that it will fail to meet the minimum debt yield covenant under the senior secured credit facility in the third quarter of 2020, the fourth quarter of 2020 and the first quarter of 2021. The minimum debt yield covenant provides that the ratio of the adjusted net operating income, as defined in the senior secured credit facility agreement, of the properties that secure the senior secured credit facility to the total outstanding balance on the senior secured credit facility must be greater than 10.0%. Violation of each covenant provides the lenders with the option to accelerate the maturity of the secured credit facility.

Mortgages on Operating Properties

2019 Financings
In April 2019, the loan secured by Volusia Mall was refinanced to increase the principal balance to $50,000. In addition, the maturity date was extended to April 2024 and the fixed interest rate was reduced from 8.00% to 4.56%. The net proceeds from the new loan were used to retire the $41,000 existing loan.

In May 2019, the Company exercised an option to extend the loan secured by The Outlet Shoppes at Laredo to May 2021. In conjunction with the amendment, a payment of $10,800 was made to reduce the outstanding balance of the loan to $43,000. The noncontrolling interest partner in the joint venture funded its 35% share of the $10,800 payment.

Expected credit losses

As of March 31, 2020, the one mortgage note receivable is in default, but as noted above, the Company has a noncontrolling interest recorded related to the defaulting partner’s interest that serves as collateral on the note, and that amount is greater than the outstanding balance on the note. Based on this information, the Company did not record a credit loss for this class of receivables for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company assessed each of its three note receivables factoring in credit quality indicators such as collection experience and future expectations of performance to determine whether a credit loss should be recorded. Based on this information, the Company wrote off the $1,230 note receivable associated with amounts due from a government sponsored district at The Shoppes at St. Clair. The Company did not record any other credit losses for this class of receivables for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Note 11 – Earnings per Share and Earnings per Unit

Earnings per Share of the Company

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS assumes the issuance of common stock for all potential dilutive common shares outstanding. The limited partners’ rights to convert their noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership into shares of common stock are not dilutive. There were no0 potential dilutive common shares and there were no0 anti-dilutive shares for the three and six month periods ended June 30,March 31, 2020 and 2019.

Due to a net loss for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2018, the computation of diluted EPS does not include contingently issuable shares due to their anti-dilutive nature. Had the Company reported net income for the three months ended June 30, 2018, the denominator for diluted EPS would have been 172,867, including 205 contingently issuable shares related to performance stock unit ("PSU") awards. Had the Company reported net income for the for the six months ended June 30, 2018, the denominator for diluted EPS would have been 172,715, including 411 contingently issuable shares related to PSU awards.

Earnings per Unit of the Operating Partnership

Basic earnings per unit (“EPU”) is computed by dividingusing the two-class method. The two-class method is required when either (i) participating securities or (ii) multiple classes of common stock exists. The Operating Partnership’s special common units, and common units issued upon the conversion or redemption of special common units, meet the definition of participating securities as these units have the contractual right and obligation to share in the Operating Partnership’s net income (loss) and distributions. Under this approach net income (loss) attributable to common unitholders is reduced by the amount of distributions made (declared) to all common unitholders and by the amount of distributions that are required to be made (declared and undeclared) to special common unitholders. Distributed and undistributed earnings is subsequently divided by the weighted-average number of common and special common units outstanding for the period.period to compute basic EPU for each unit. Undistributed losses are allocated 100 percent to common units, other than common units issued upon the conversion or redemption of special common units. The special common units, and common units issued upon the conversion or redemption of special common units, only participate in undistributed losses in the event of a liquidation. Diluted EPU is computed by considering either the two-class method or the if-converted method, whichever results in more dilution. The if-converted method assumes the issuance of common units for all potential dilutive special common units outstanding. Due to the loss position (negative earnings) of the Operating Partnership for the three month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 all special common units, and common units issued upon the conversion or redemption of special common units, are antidilutive. The calculation of diluted EPU through the if-converted method would reduce the loss per share (as a result of an increase number of shares in the denominator) for the common units. Therefore in a loss position diluted EPU is equal to basic EPU. There were no0 potential dilutive common units and there were no0 anti-dilutive units other than the special common units, and common units issued upon the conversion or redemption of special common units, outstanding for the three month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

Lengths Hair Salons of Florida, Inc. litigation and other related matters. The Company is continuing to cooperate in these matters.

Securities Litigation

The Company and certain of its officers and directors were named as defendants in three putative securities class action lawsuits (collectively, the “Securities Class Action Litigation”), each filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee, on behalf of all persons who purchased or otherwise acquired the Company’s securities during a specified period of time. Those cases were consolidated on July 17, 2019, under the caption In re CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. Securities Litigation , 1:19-cv-00149-JRG-CHS.

The complaints filed in the Securities Class Action Litigation allege violations of the securities laws, including, among other things, that the defendants made certain materially false and misleading statements and omissions regarding the Company’s contingent liabilities, business, operations, and prospects during the periods of time specified above. The plaintiffs seek compensatory damages and attorneys’ fees and costs, among other relief, but have not specified the amount of damages sought. The outcome of these legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty.

Certain of the Company’s current and former directors and officers have been named as defendants in nine shareholder derivative lawsuits (collectively, the “Derivative Litigation”). On June 4, 2019, a shareholder filed a putative derivative complaint captioned Robert Garfield v. Stephen D. Lebovitz et al. , 1:19-cv-01038-LPS, in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (the “ Garfield Derivative Action”), purportedly on behalf of the Company against certain of its officers and directors. On June 24, 2019, September 5, 2019 and September 25, 2019, respectively, other shareholders filed three additional putative derivative complaints, each in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, captioned as follows: Robert Cohen v. Stephen D. Lebovitz et al. , 1:19-cv-01185-LPS (the “ Cohen Derivative Action”); Travis Lore v. Stephen D. Lebovitz et al. , 1:19-cv-01665-LPS (the “ Lore Derivative Action”), and City of Gainesville Cons. Police Officers’ and Firefighters Retirement Plan v. Stephen D. Lebovitz et al. , 1:19-cv-01800 (the “ Gainesville Derivative Action”), each asserting substantially similar claims purportedly on behalf of the Company against similar defendants. The Court consolidated the Garfield Derivative Action and the Cohen Derivative Action on July 17, 2019, under the caption In re CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. Derivative Litigation , 1:19-cv-01038-LPS (the " Consolidated Derivative Action"). On July 25, 2019, the Court stayed proceedings in the Consolidated Derivative Action pending resolution of an eventual motion to dismiss in the Securities Class Action Litigation. On October 14, 2019, the parties to the Gainesville Derivative Action and the Lore Derivative Action filed a joint stipulation and proposed order confirming that each of those cases is subject to the consolidation order previously entered by the Court in the Consolidated Derivative Action and that further proceedings in those cases are stayed pending resolution of an eventual motion to dismiss in the Securities Class Action Litigation. On July 22, 2019, a shareholder filed a putative derivative complaint captioned Shebitz v. Lebovitz et al. , 1:19-cv-00213, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee (the “ Shebitz Derivative Action”); on January 10, 2020, a shareholder filed a putative derivative complaint captioned Chatman v. Lebovitz, et al., 2020-0011-JTL, in the Delaware Chancery Court (the “Chatman Derivative Action”); on February 12, 2020, a shareholder filed a putative derivative complaint captioned Kurup v. Lebovitz, et al., 2020-0070-JTL, in the Delaware Chancery Court (the “ Kurup Derivative Action”); on February 26, 2020, a shareholder filed a putative derivative complaint captioned Kemmer v. Lebovitz, et al., 1:20-cv-00052, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee (the “ Kemmer Derivative Action”); and on April 14, 2020, a shareholder filed a putative derivative complaint captioned Hebig v. Lebovitz, et al., 1:19-cv-00149-JRG-CHS, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee (the “ Hebig Derivative Action”), each asserting substantially similar claims purportedly on behalf of the Company against similar defendants. On October 7, 2019, the Court stayed the Shebitz Derivative Action, pending resolution of an eventual motion to dismiss in the related Securities Class Action Litigation; the Company expects the Chatman, Kurup, Kemmer, and Hebig Derivative Actions to be stayed as well.

The complaints filed in the Derivative Litigation allege, among other things, breaches of fiduciary duties, unjust enrichment, waste of corporate assets, and violations of the federal securities laws. The factual allegations upon which these claims are based are similar to the factual allegations made in the Securities Class Action Litigation, described above. The complaints filed in the Derivative Litigation seek, among other things, unspecified damages and restitution for the Company from the individual defendants, the payment of costs and attorneys’ fees, and that the Company be directed to reform certain governance and internal procedures. The outcome of these legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty.

The Company's insurance carriers have been placed on notice of these matters.

The Company is currently involved in certain other litigation that arises in the ordinary course of business, most of which is expected to be covered by liability insurance. Management makes assumptions and estimates concerning the likelihood and amount of any potential loss relating to these matters using the latest information available. The Company records a liability for litigation if an unfavorable outcome is probable and the amount of loss or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. If an unfavorable outcome is probable and a reasonable estimate of the loss is a range, the Company accrues the best estimate within the range. If no amount within the range is a better


estimate than any other amount, the Company accrues the minimum amount within the range. If an unfavorable outcome is probable but the amount of the loss cannot be reasonably estimated, the Company discloses the nature of the litigation and indicates that an estimate of the loss or range of loss cannot be made. If an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible and the estimated loss is material, the Company discloses the nature and estimate of the possible loss of the litigation. Based on current expectations, such matters, both individually and in the aggregate, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the liquidity, results of operations, business or financial condition of the Company.
Securities Litigation

The Company and certain of its officers and directors have been named as defendants in three putative securities class action lawsuits (collectively, the “Securities Class Action Litigation”), each filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee, on behalf of all persons who purchased or otherwise acquired the Company’s securities during a specified period of time.  The first such lawsuit, captioned Paskowitz v. CBL & Associates Properties, Inc., et al., 1:19-cv-00149-JRG-CHS, was filed on May 17, 2019, and asserts claims on behalf of persons or entities that purchased CBL securities between November 8, 2017 and March 26, 2019, inclusive.  The second such lawsuit, captioned Williams v. CBL & Associates Properties, Inc., et al., 1:19-cv-00181, was filed on June 21, 2019, and asserts claims on behalf of persons or entities that purchased CBL securities between April 29, 2016 and March 26, 2019, inclusive.  The third such lawsuit, captioned Merelles v. CBL & Associates Properties, Inc., et al., 1:19-CV-00193, was filed on July 2, 2019, and asserts claims on behalf of persons or entities that purchased CBL securities between July 29, 2014 and March 26, 2019.  The Court consolidated these cases on July 17, 2019, under the caption In re CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. Securities Litigation, 1:19-cv-00149-JRG-CHS. After plaintiff Laurence Paskowitz voluntarily dismissed his case on July 25, 2019, the Court re-consolidated the two remaining cases under the caption In re CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. Securities Litigation, 1:19-cv-00181-JRG-CHS, on August 2, 2019. 

The complaints filed in the Securities Class Action Litigation allege violations of the securities laws, including, among other things, that the defendants made certain materially false and misleading statements and omissions regarding the Company’s contingent liabilities, business, operations, and prospects during the periods of time specified above.  The plaintiffs seek compensatory damages and attorneys’ fees and costs, among other relief, but have not specified the amount of damages sought.  The outcome of these legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty.

Stephen D. Lebovitz et al., 1:19-cv-01038-LPS, in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (the “Garfield Derivative Action”), purportedly on behalf of the Company against certain of its officers and directors.  On June 24, 2019, another shareholder filed a putative derivative complaint captioned Robert Cohen v. Stephen D. Lebovitz et al., 1:19-cv-01185-LPS, also in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (the “Cohen Derivative Action”), asserting substantially similar claims purportedly on behalf of the Company against similar defendants.  The Court consolidated the Garfield Derivative Action and the Cohen Derivative Action on July 17, 2019, under the caption In re CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. Derivative Litigation, 1:19-cv-01038-LPS, and on July 19, 2019, the parties jointly moved to stay the case pending resolution of an eventual motion to dismiss in the Securities Class Action Litigation.  On July 22, 2019, another shareholder filed a putative derivative complaint captioned Shebitz v. Lebovitz et al., 1:19-cv-00213, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee, asserting substantially similar claims purportedly on behalf of the Company against similar defendants. On July 17, 2019, the Court consolidated the Garfield Derivative Action and the Cohen Derivative Action under the caption In re CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. Derivative Litigation, 1:19-cv-01038-LPS.  On July 25, 2019, the Court stayed these two actions pending resolution of an eventual motion to dismiss in the related Securities Class Action Litigation.
The complaints filed in the Derivative Litigation allege, among other things, breaches of fiduciary duties, unjust enrichment, waste of corporate assets, and violations of the federal securities laws.  The factual allegations upon which these claims are based are similar to the factual allegations made in the Securities Class Action Litigation, described above.  The complaints filed in the Derivative Litigation seek, among other things, unspecified damages and restitution for the Company from the individual defendants, the payment of costs and attorneys’ fees, and that the Company be directed to reform certain governance and internal procedures.  The outcome of these legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty.
The Company's insurance carriers have been placed on notice of these matters.
Environmental Contingencies

The Company evaluates potential loss contingencies related to environmental matters using the same criteria described above related to litigation matters. Based on current information, an unfavorable outcome concerning such


environmental matters, both individually and in the aggregate, is considered to be reasonably possible. However, the Company believes its maximum potential exposure to loss would not be material to its results of operations or financial condition.
The Company has a master insurance policy that provides coverage through 2022 for certain environmental claims up to $10,000 per occurrence and up to $50,000 in the aggregate, subject to deductibles and certain exclusions. At certain locations, individual policies are in place.

Guarantees

The Operating Partnership may guarantee the debt of a joint venture primarily because it allows the joint venture to obtain funding at a lower cost than could be obtained otherwise. This results in a higher return for the joint venture on its investment, and a higher return on the Operating Partnership’sPartnership's investment in the joint venture.

The Operating Partnership may receive a fee from the joint venture for providing the guaranty. Additionally, when the Operating Partnership issues a guaranty, the terms of the joint venture agreement typically provide that the Operating Partnership may receive indemnification from the joint venture partner or have the ability to increase its ownership interest. The guarantees expire upon repayment of the debt, unless noted otherwise.

The following table represents the Operating Partnership's guarantees of unconsolidated affiliates' debt as reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018:2019:

In November 2019, the Company deconsolidated this entity.

The Company has guaranteed the lease performance of York Town Center, LP ("YTC"), an unconsolidated affiliate in which the Company owns a 50% interest, under the terms of an agreement with a third party that owns property as part of York Town Center. Under the terms of that agreement, YTC is obligated to cause performance of the third party’s obligations as landlord under its lease with its sole tenant, including, but not limited to, provisions such as co-tenancy and exclusivity requirements. Should YTC fail to cause performance, then the tenant under the third party landlord’s lease may pursue certain remedies ranging from rights to terminate its lease to receiving reductions


in rent. The Company has guaranteed YTC’s performance under this agreement up to a maximum of $22,000, which decreases by $800 annually until the guaranteed amount is reduced to $10,000. The guaranty expires on December 31, 2020.  The maximum guaranteed obligation was $12,400$11,600 as of June 30, 2019.March 31, 2020.  The Company entered into an agreement with its joint venture partner under which the joint venture partner has agreed to reimburse the Company 50% of any amounts it is obligated to fund under the guaranty.  The Company did not include an obligation for this guaranty because it determined that the fair value of the guaranty was not material as of June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018.
2019.

Expected credit losses

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company evaluated each guarantee individually by looking at the debt service ratio, cash flow forecasts and the performance of each loan. The result of the analysis was that each loan is current and performing, and if applicable, none of the loans that are guaranteed by the Company are in violation of their debt covenants, each operating property has positive cash flows that are sufficient to cover debt service and forecasted cash flows for each operating property do not indicate that there is more than a remote probability that the Company will be required to perform under each guaranty. Historically, the Company has not had to perform on any of its guarantees of unconsolidated affiliates’ debt. Based on current and future conditions, the Company does not expect to have to perform, and therefore did not record a credit loss for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Performance Bonds

The Company has issued various bonds that it would have to satisfy in the event of non-performance. The total amount outstanding on these bonds was $15,824$6,384 and $16,003$13,660 at June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018,2019, respectively.  

Note 13 – Share-Based Compensation

As of June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, the Company has outstanding awards under the CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. 2012 Stock Incentive Plan ("the 2012 Plan"), which was approved by the Company's shareholders in May 2012. The 2012 Plan permits the Company to issue stock options and common stock to selected officers, employees and non-employee directors of the Company up to a total of 10,400,000 shares. As the primary operating subsidiary of the Company, the Operating Partnership participates in and bears the compensation expense associated with the Company's share-based compensation plan.

Restricted Stock Awards

The Company may make restricted stock awards to independent directors, officers and its employees under the 2012 Plan. These awards are generally granted based on the performance of the Company and its employees. None of these awards have performance requirements other than a service condition of continued employment, unless otherwise provided. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.

Share-based compensation expense related to the restricted stock awards was $546$1,144 and $709$1,713 for the three months ended June 30,March 31, 2020 and 2019,and2018, respectively, and $2,259 and $2,476 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Share-based compensation cost capitalized as part of real estate assets was $27$7 and $102$14 for the three months ended June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and 2018, respectively, and $41 and $224 for the six months ended June 30, 2019, and 2018, respectively.

Long-Term Incentive Program

In 2015, the Company adopted a long-term incentive program ("LTIP") for its named executive officers, which consists of performance stock unit ("PSU") awards and annual restricted stock awards, that may be issued under the 2012 Plan. The number of shares related to the PSU awards that each named executive officer may receive upon the conclusion of a three-year performance period is determined based on the Company's achievement of specified levels of long-term total stockholder return ("TSR") performance relative to the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") Retail Index, provided that at least a "Threshold" level must be attained for any shares to be earned.


Beginning with the 2018 PSUs, two-thirds of the quantitative portion of the award over the performance period will beis based on the achievement of TSR relative to the NAREIT Retail Index while the remaining one-third will beone -third is based on the achievement of absolute TSR metrics for the Company. ToBeginning with the 2018 PSU grant, to maintain compliance with thea 200,000 share annual equity grant limit under(the “Section 162(m) Grant Limit”) that was included in the 2012 Plan beginning withto satisfy the 2018 PSU grant,“qualified performance-based compensation” exception to the deduction limits for certain executive compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code, to the extent that a grant of PSUs could result in the issuance of a number of shares of common stock at the conclusion of the performance period that, when coupled with the number of shares of time-vesting restricted stock granted in the same year the PSUs were granted, would exceed the annualsuch limit, any such excess will be converted to a cash bonus award with a value equivalent to the number of shares of common stock constituting such excess times the average of the high and low trading prices reported for CBL's common stock on the date such shares would otherwise have been issuable.

In conjunction with the February 2020 approval of the 2020 LTIP grants for the named executive officers, the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan was amended to remove the Section 162(m) Grant Limit, which no longer served its original purpose because the “qualified performance-based compensation” exception to the Section 162(m) deduction limits was repealed by the 2017 tax reform legislation. However, NYSE rules also include an annual equity grant limit which effectively limits the number of shares that can be subject to stock awards to any individual named executive officer, without additional shareholder approval, to one percent ( 1%) of the total number of outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “NYSE Annual Grant Limit”).  To maintain NYSE compliance following elimination of the Section 162(m) Grant Limit, the Company’s Compensation Committee revised PSU awards under the LTIP, beginning in 2020, to provide that if a grant of PSUs could result in the issuance of a number of shares to a named executive officer at the conclusion of the 3-year performance period that would exceed the NYSE Annual Grant Limit, when coupled with the number of shares subject to other stock awards (e.g., the time-vesting restricted stock component of the LTIP) issued in the same year that such PSUs were issued, any such excess will instead be converted to a cash bonus award, while remaining subject to vesting conditions as described below.

Any such portion of the value of the 2018 PSUs, the 2019 PSUs or the 20192020 PSUs earned payable as a cash bonus will be subject to the same vesting provisions as the issuance of common stock pursuant to the PSUs and is not expected to be significant.PSUs. In addition, to the extent any cash is to be paid, the cash will be paid first relative to the vesting schedule, ahead of the issuance of shares of common stock with respect to the balance of PSUs earned.

Annual Restricted Stock Awards

Under the LTIP, annual restricted stock awards consist of shares of time-vested restricted stock awarded based on a qualitative evaluation of the performance of the Company and the named executive officer during the fiscal year. Annual restricted stock awards under the LTIP, which are included in the totals reflected in the preceding table, vest 20% on the date of grant with the remainder vesting in four4 equal annual installments.

NaN of the PSUs outstanding at June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 were vested.

Shares earned pursuant to the PSU awards vest 60% at the conclusion of the performance period while the remaining 40% of the PSU award vests 20% on each of the first two anniversaries thereafter.

Compensation cost is recognized on a tranche-by-tranche basis using the accelerated attribution method. The resulting expense, for awards classified as equity, is recorded regardless of whether any PSU awards are earned as long as the required service period is met.

The fair value of the potential cash component related to the 20192020 PSUs is measured at each reporting period, using the same methodology as was used at the initial grant date, and classified as a liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 with an adjustment to compensation expense. If the performance criterion is not satisfied at the end of the performance period for the 20192020 PSUs, previously recognized compensation expense related to the liability-classified awards would be reversed as there would be no value at the settlement date.

Share-based compensation expense related to the PSUs was $443$478 and $533$426 for the three months ended June 30,March 31, 2020 and 2019, and 2018, respectively, and $869 and $952 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Unrecognized compensation costs related to the PSUs was $3,304$4,678 as of June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 4.04.1 years.

The value of the PSU awards is estimated on the date of grant using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The valuation consists of computing the fair value using CBL's simulated stock price as well as TSR over a three-year performance period. The award is modeled as a contingent claim in that the expected return on the underlying shares is risk-free and the rate of discounting the payoff of the award is also risk-free. The weighted-average fair value per share related to the 20192020 PSUs classified as equity consists of 357,8002,131,245 shares at a fair value of $2.45$0.88 (which relate to relative TSR) and 178,8751,065,463 shares at a fair value of $2.29$0.75 per share (which relate to absolute TSR). The weighted-average fair value per share related to the 20182019 PSUs classified as equity consists of 240,164357,800 shares at a fair value of $3.13$2.45 per share (which relate to relative TSR) and $120,064178,875 shares at a fair value of $1.63$2.29 per share (which relate to absolute TSR).

The risk-free interest rate was based on the yield curve on zero-coupon U.S. Treasury securities in effect as of the valuation date, which is the respective grant date listed above.

The computation of expected volatility was based on a blend of the historical volatility of CBL's shares of common stock based on annualized daily total continuous returns over a five-year period for the 2020 PSUs and a three-year period for the 2019 and 2018 PSUs and implied volatility data based on the trailing month average of daily implied volatilities implied by stock call option contracts that were both closest to the terms shown and closest to the money.

Note 15 – Subsequent Events

In July 2019,

Subsequent to March 31, 2020, the United States continues to be severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and by the economic effects of government responses, such as “stay-at-home” orders and various restrictions on certain business activities, which have materially disrupted the economy. The Company has received rent relief requests from a majority of its tenants at its properties, most often in the form of rent deferral requests, as a result of COVID-19. The Company is evaluating each tenant rent relief request on an individual basis, considering a number of factors. Not all tenant requests will ultimately result in the Company closed ongranting any form of rent or other relief, nor does it plan to forgo its contractual rights under its lease agreements in connection with any such requests. While the saleCompany is not able to estimate the impact of the office buildingCOVID-19 pandemic at 850 Greenbrier Circle, located in Chesapeake, VA. The property was sold for a gross price of $10,500.

this time, the pandemic could materially affect its future financial and operational results.

In July 2019,May 2020, the lender notified the Company closed on the sale of a Kroger parcel at Foothills Plaza, located in Maryville, TN. The property was sold for a gross price of $2,350.

In July 2019, the Company closed on the sale of the Forum at Grandview, located in Madison, MS. The property was sold for a gross price of $31,750.
In July 2019, the Company closed on the sale of the Barnes & Noble parcel, located in High Point, NC. The property was sold for a gross price of $2,000.
In July 2019, the lender foreclosed onthat the loan secured by Triangle Town Center.
In August 2019,EastGate Mall was in default because the Village Square note receivableApril 2020 debt service payment was amendednot made.

The Company elected to extendnot make the $11,813 Interest Payment due and payable on June 1, 2020, with respect to the Operating Partnership’s 5.25% senior unsecured notes due 2023. Under the indenture governing the 2023 Notes, the Operating Partnership has a 30-day grace period to make the Interest Payment before the nonpayment is considered an event of default with respect to the 2023 Notes. Any event of default under the 2023 Notes for nonpayment of the Interest Payment would also be considered an event of default under the Operating Partnership’s senior secured credit facility, which could lead to an acceleration of amounts due under the facility. Further, if the trustee for the 2023 Notes should exercise its right to accelerate the maturity dateof the full balance owed on the 2023 Notes as a result of such an event of default, that would also constitute an event of default under the Operating Partnership’s 4.60% senior unsecured notes due 2024 and the Operating Partnership’s 5.95% senior notes due 2026, which could lead to September 30, 2019.    


the acceleration of all amounts due under those notes. The Company has elected to enter the 30-day grace period with respect to the Interest Payment in order to advance discussions with its lenders and explore alternative strategies. The Company was notified by the administrative agent of the senior secured credit facility that the failure to make the Interest Payment constitutes a default under the senior secured credit facility and that, if not cured within the applicable 30-day grace period, it will be an event of default under the senior secured credit facility. The Company could prevent an event of default if it paid the Interest Payment prior to the expiration of the 30-day grace period or if it reached an alternative arrangement with the holders of the 2023 Notes ..

ITEM 2:  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes that are included in this Form 10-Q.  Capitalized terms used, but not defined, in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations have the same meanings as defined in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements. In this discussion, the terms “we,” “us” and “our” refer to the Company or the Company and the Operating Partnership collectively, as the text requires.

Certain statements made in this section or elsewhere in this report may be deemed “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. All statements other than statements of historical fact should be considered to be forward-looking statements. In many cases, these forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as “will,” “may,” “should,” “could,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “projects,” “goals,” “objectives,” “targets,” “predicts,” “plans,” “seeks,” and variations of these words and similar expressions.  Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the factors discussed throughout this report.

Although we believe the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or results and we can give no assurance that these expectations will be attained. It is possible that actual results may differ materially from those indicated by these forward-looking statements due to a variety of known and unknown risks and uncertainties. Currently, one of the most significant factors that could cause actual outcomes to differ materially from our forward-looking statements is the potential adverse effect of the COVID-19 pandemic, and federal, state, and/or local regulatory guidelines to control it, on our financial condition, operating results and cash flows, our tenants and their customers, the real estate market in which we operate, the global economy and the financial markets. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts us and our tenants will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic, the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, and potential changes in consumer behavior, among others. In addition to the risk factors described in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2018,2019, and in Part II, Item 1A of this report, such known risks and uncertainties, many of which may be influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic, include, without limitation:

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

We are a self-managed, self-administered, fully integrated REIT that is engaged in the ownership, development, acquisition, leasing, management and operation of regional shopping malls, open-air and mixed-use centers, outlet centers, associated centers, community centers, office and officeother properties. See Note 1to the condensed


consolidated financial statements for information on our property interests as of June 30, 2019.March 31, 2020. We have elected to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization classified COVID-19 as a pandemic. Due to the extraordinary governmental actions taken to contain COVID-19, we are unable to predict the full extent of the pandemic’s impact on our results of operations for the remainder of 2020. As a result, we previously withdrew our full-year 2020 same-center NOI and FFO per share, as adjusted, guidance and underlying assumptions and do not plan to reinstate full-year 2020 guidance until there is further clarity on the impact of the pandemic.

In response to local and state mandated closures, our entire portfolio, except for a few properties, closed. Beginning in late April, certain government agencies have begun allowing the re-opening of certain properties with specified health and safety restrictions or solely for curbside service. As of May 25, 2020, all but three of our malls had re-opened including twelve properties that were offering curbside or exterior only service. The safety and health of our customers, employees and tenants remains a top priority. With each re-opening, we instituted a comprehensive re-opening plan that includes strict procedures and guidelines for our employees, tenants and property visitors based on Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”) and other health agency recommendations.

The majority of our tenants requested rent relief, either in the form of rent deferrals or abatements. We have placed a number of tenants in default for non-payment of rent. For the month of April, we received approximately 27% of billed cash rents. We estimate a collection rate for the month of May in the range of 25-30% based on preliminary cash receipts and conversations with retailers. We still anticipate a significant portion of April and May rents will be collected later in 2020 and into 2021 under agreed upon deferral plans and, to a lesser degree, certain rents may be abated. However, negotiations are ongoing, and it is premature to estimate a recovery rate at this time.

In addition, the negative impact of COVID-19 has resulted in certain retailers filing for bankruptcy. JCPenney recently filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and announced their plan to close approximately 30% of their owned and leased stores and pursue rent reductions for stores that would stay open. As of March 31, 2020, JCPenney had 47 stores in our portfolio comprising approximately $13.1 million in gross annual rent. Based on preliminary discussions with JCPenney, we anticipate up to eight owned or leased stores in our portfolio may close comprising $2.1 million of gross annual rent.  JCPenney has also requested significant rent abatement and reductions for their remaining stores. We are in early discussions with JCPenney and are unable to predict the outcome at this time.

We implemented a full financial COVID-19 response to improve liquidity and reduce costs. These significant actions included drawing $280 million on our secured line of credit, eliminating all non-essential expenditures, implementing a company-wide furlough and salary reduction program and delaying and suspending capital expenditures, including redevelopment investments. See the "Liquidity and Capital Resources"section for more information.

As discussed in “Note 1 – Organization and Basis of Presentation” to the condensed consolidated financial statements and in “Liquidity and Capital Resources” herein, we are in violation of a covenant under our secured credit facility and it is probable that we will fail to meet another covenant in the third quarter of 2020, the fourth quarter of 2020 and the first quarter of 2021. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date that our condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.

We have engaged Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP and Moelis & Company LLC (the “Advisors”) to assist us in exploring several alternatives to reduce overall leverage and interest expense and to extend the maturity of our debt including (i) the senior secured credit facility, which includes a revolving facility with a balance of $675 .9 million and term loan with a balance of $456 .3 million as of March 31, 2020, that matures in July 2023 and (ii) the Notes with balances of $450 .0 million , $300 .0 million , and $625 .0 million , as of March 31, 2020, that mature in December 2023, October 2024 and December 2026, respectively, as well as the cumulative unpaid dividends on our preferred stock and the special common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. The Advisors recently commenced discussions with advisors to certain holders of theN otes and the credit committee of the senior secured credit facility .We may pursue a comprehensive solution that includes a potential exchange of debt with the holders of the Notes, addressing our preferred stock and the special common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership, amendments to the financial covenants under the senior secured credit facility and the Notes and other options that may result in the reorganization of the Company.

We elected to not make the $11.8 million Interest Payment due and payable on June 1, 2020, with respect to the 5.25% senior unsecured notes due 2023 (the “2023 Notes”). Under the indenture governing the 2023 Notes, we have a 30-day grace period to make the Interest Payment before the nonpayment is considered an event of default with respect to the 2023 Notes. Any event of default under the 2023 Notes for nonpayment of the Interest Payment would also be considered an event of default under the senior secured credit facility, which could lead to an acceleration of amounts due under the facility. Further, if the trustee for the 2023 Notes should exercise its right to accelerate the maturity of the full balance owed on the 2023 Notes as a result of such an event of default, that would also constitute an event of default under the 4.60% senior unsecured notes due 2024 and the 5.95% senior notes due 2026, which could lead to the acceleration of all amounts due under those notes.  We have elected to enter the 30-day grace period with respect to the Interest Payment in order to advance discussions with the lenders and explore alternative strategies.

Given the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the retail and broader markets, the ongoing weakness of the credit markets and significant uncertainties associated with each of these matters, we believe that there is substantial doubt that we will continue to operate as a going concern within one year after the date our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2020 are issued. See “Note 1 – Organization and Basis of Presentation” to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

We had a net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 of $(29.7)$139.3 million and $(76.5) million, respectively, compared to a net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 of $(30.0) million and $(30.6) million, respectively.$46.8 million. We recorded a net loss attributable to common shareholders for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019March 31,2020 of $(35.4)$133.9 million and $(85.6) million, respectively, compared to a net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 of $(35.0) million and $(45.3) million, respectively. For$50.2 million. Significant items that affected the three month period, earnings from Comparable Properties (defined below) were down primarily due to store closures and rent concessions for tenants with high occupancy cost levels, including tenants that declared bankruptcy in 2018 and 2019. This decline was offset by a lower loss on impairment as compared tocomparability between the prior period. The decline for the six month period was primarily due to lower earnings from Comparable Properties (defined below) due to store closures and rent concessions for tenants with high occupancy cost levels, including tenants that declared bankruptcy in 2018 and 2019. Also contributing to the decline was theperiods include litigation settlement expense of $88.2 million that was recognized in the first quarter of 2019, which was partially offset by gainsand gain on extinguishment of debt of $71.7 million that were also recorded in the first quarterthree months ended March 31, 2019 and loss on impairment that is $108.8 million higher in the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the prior year period. Additionally, the operating results of 2019.

Duringour Properties declined further during the second quarter, Ascena announcedthree months ended March 31, 2020 due to the ongoing challenges in the retail environment that it would be closing all its dressbarn stores atresulted in store closures and rental reductions for tenants with high occupancy costs, including tenants that declared bankruptcy in 2019 and 2020. Also, the endmajority of 2019. We have 12 dressbarn stores in our portfolio that account for $1.3 million in annual rents. Additionally, Charming Charlie announced that it was closing all of its stores August 31, 2019. We have 11 stores in our portfolio that account for $0.9 million in annual rents.
Quarterly results were in-line with our expectations. Lease spreads improved and same-center sales increased over 4%closed during the second quarter.  We have 24 replacements committed, under construction or open for the 40 closed anchors in our portfolio, demonstrating tremendous progress on our anchor replacement program. This program will help stabilize our income as we replace lost revenues, mitigate co-tenancy exposure and deliver new uses that drive traffic and strengthen the entire property.  See the "Liquidity and Capital Resources" section for information on our development, expansion and redevelopment projects as of June 30, 2019.
We continueMarch due to strengthen our balance sheet by extending our maturity schedule. In January 2019, we replaced all of our unsecured lines of credit and unsecured term loans with a new $1.185 billion secured credit facility, which is comprised of a $685.0 million line of credit and a fully funded $500.0 million term loan. With this closing, we have addressed our significant debt maturities for 2019 and have addressed all of our unsecured debt maturities until 2023. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" for more information on financing activity.
In March 2019, our Board of Directors approved the structure of a settlement in a class action lawsuit. We have denied, and continue to deny, any wrongdoing and believe that our actions at all times have been proper and lawful. However, given the class certification, the accelerated trial schedule, the inherent risk of any trial, and the potential cost of an adverse resolution of the litigation, we believed that a settlement was in the Company's best interest and in the best interests of our shareholders. We recognized litigation settlement expense of $88.2 million during the first quarter as a result of the settlement. See Note 12government mandates related to the condensed consolidated financial statements for more information.
We continue to capitalize on opportunities to raise attractively priced capital from non-core assets, as evidenced by the $120.0 million in gross asset sales that have been completed year-to-date. This combined with our estimated free cash flowimpact of over $200.0 million provides liquidity to invest in our redevelopment program.

Property operating expenses at the Comparable Properties decreasedincreased primarily due to a change in the classification of bad debt expense as a result of the adoption of ASC 842 effective January 1, 2019. Bad debt expense of $0.7 million was included in property operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2018; however, beginning January 1, 2019, rental revenues that are estimated to be uncollectable are reflected as a decrease in rental revenues. For the three months ended June 30, 2019, we recognized $0.2 million as a reduction to rental revenues for amounts that are estimated to be uncollectable, all of which wasmaintenance and repairs related to the Comparable Properties. The remaining decrease in property operating expenses of the Comparable Properties was primarily due to lower utilities, security and payroll expenses.events covered by insurance. Real estate tax expense declined as a number of the Comparable Properties experienced reductions in real estate taxes in their respective markets.markets due to favorable revisions to property assessments. Maintenance and repairs expenses at the Comparable Properties decreased primarily due to lower janitorial costs partially offset by an increase in snow removal costs at certain properties.

The $5.9$9.1 million decrease in depreciation and amortization expense related to the Comparable Properties primarily relates to a decrease in write-offs of tenant improvements and intangible lease assets related to store closings in the prior year period, as well as store closuresa lower basis in depreciable assets resulting from impairments recorded since June 30, 2018.

General and administrative expenses increaseddecreased primarily due to no longer capitalizinghigher legal expenses in the cost of leasing personnel for development projects as a result of adoptingprior year period related to the litigation settlement and the new leasing standard in 2019 and legal costs, which were partially offset bysecured credit facility, as well as reductions in salary and stock compensation costs.

In the secondfirst quarter of 2019,2020, we recognized $41.6$133.6 million of loss on impairment of real estate to write down the book value of one mall and one community center.two malls. In the secondfirst quarter of 2018, we recognized a $52.0 million loss on impairment of real estate to write down the book value of a mall. See Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for more information.

Other Income and Expenses
Interest expense decreased $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the prior-year period. The decrease was primarily due to a $2.8 million decrease in property-level interest expense due to the dispositions in January 2019 of Acadiana Mall and Cary Town Center, which were encumbered by non-recourse mortgage loans. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in corporate-level interest expense due to higher variable rates on our corporate-level debt as compared to the prior-year quarter, partially related to the higher interest rate spread under our new credit facility as compared with the prior, as well as increases in LIBOR.
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates decreased by $2.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the prior-year period. The decrease was primarily due to gains on two outparcel sales at unconsolidated affiliates in the prior-year period and decreases in rental revenues at several malls primarily due to store closures and rent concessions for tenants with high occupancy cost levels, including tenants in bankruptcy.
During the three months ended June 30, 2019, we recognized $5.5$24.8 million of gain on sales of real estate assets primarily related the sale of a center, a hotel and an outparcel. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we recognized $3.7 million of gain on sales of real estate assets related to the sale of two outparcels.

Property operating expenses at the Comparable Properties decreased primarily due to a change in the classification of bad debt expense as a result of the adoption of ASC 842 effective January 1, 2019. Bad debt expense of $2.7 million was included in property operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2018; however, beginning January 1, 2019, rental revenues that are estimated to be uncollectable are reflected as a decrease in rental revenues. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, we recognized $1.7 million as a reduction to rental revenues for amounts that are estimated to be uncollectable, substantially all of which was related to the Comparable Properties. The remaining decrease in property operating expenses of the Comparable Properties was primarily due to lower utilities, security, marketing and payroll expenses. Real estate tax expense declined as a number of the Comparable Properties experienced reductions in real estate taxes in their respective markets. Maintenance and repairs expenses increased slightly primarily due to higher snow removal and repair expenses, partially offset by lower janitorial costs.
The $4.3 million decrease in depreciation and amortization expense related to the Comparable Properties primarily relates to a decrease due to write-offs of tenant improvements and intangible lease assets related to store closings in the prior year period, as well as store closures since June 30, 2018.
General and administrative expenses increased primarily due to higher legal expense related to litigation and no longer capitalizing the cost of leasing personnel for development projects as a result of adopting the new leasing standard in 2019, which were partially offset by reductions in salary and stock compensation costs.
For the six months ended June 30, 2019, we recognized $66.4 million of loss on impairment of real estate to write down the book value of three malls and one community center.

During the sixthree months ended June 30,March 31, 2019, we recognized $88.2 million of litigation settlement expense related to the proposed settlement of a class action lawsuit. See

Note 12 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for more information.

Other Income and Expenses

Interest and other income increased $1.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the prior-year period primarily due to additional interest income received related to a mortgage note receivable that was retired in the current year.

Interest expense decreased $1.5$7.0 million for the sixthree months ended June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 compared to the prior-year period. The decrease was primarily due to a $5.6$5.7 million decrease in property-level interest expense due tofrom the dispositions in January 2019deconsolidation of Acadiana Mall and Cary Town Center, which werethree encumbered by non-recourse mortgage loans, and a paydown in May 2019 of a portion ofproperties since the loan that is secured by The Outlet Shoppes at Laredo. This decrease was partially offset by an increase of $4.1 million in corporate-level interest expense due to higher variable rates on our corporate-level debt as compared to the prior-year quarter, partially related to the higher interest rate spread under our new credit facility as compared with the previous credit facility,prior period, as well as increasesa decrease in LIBOR.

interest expense on our secured term loan due to scheduled principal amortization and lower LIBOR in the current year.

During the sixthree months ended June 30,March 31, 2019, we recorded $71.7 million of gain on extinguishment of debt related to two malls. We transferred Acadiana Mall to the lender in satisfaction of the non-recourse debt secured by the property. We sold Cary Towne Center and used the net proceeds from the sale to satisfy a portion of the non-recourse loan that secured the property and theproperty. The remaining principal balance was forgiven.


Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates decreased by $2.9$2.3 million during the sixthree months ended June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 compared to the prior-year period. The decrease was primarily due to gains on two outparcel sales at unconsolidated affiliatesan increase in the prior-year period and decreases in rental revenues at several malls primarily due to store closures and rent concessions for tenants with high occupancy cost levels, including tenants in bankruptcy.

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we recognized $5.8 millionamortization of gain on sales of real estate assets primarilyour inside/outside basis difference related to the salethree properties that were deconsolidated since the end of a center, a hotel and an outparcel.

Non-GAAP Measure

Same-center Net Operating Income

NOI is a supplemental non-GAAP measure of the operating performance of our shopping centers and other properties. We define NOI as property operating revenues (rental revenues and other income) less property operating expenses (property operating, real estate taxes and maintenance and repairs).

We compute NOI based on the Operating Partnership's pro rata share of both consolidated and unconsolidated properties. We believe that presenting NOI and same-center NOI (described below) based on our Operating Partnership’s pro rata share of both consolidated and unconsolidated properties is useful since we conduct substantially all of our business through our Operating Partnership and, therefore, it reflects the performance of the properties in absolute terms regardless of the ratio of ownership interests of our common shareholders and the noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership. Our definition of NOI may be different than that used by other companies, and accordingly, our calculation of NOI may not be comparable to that of other companies.

Since NOI includes only those revenues and expenses related to the operations of our shopping center properties, we believe that same-center NOI provides a measure that reflects trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, sales at the malls and operating costs and the impact of those trends on our results of operations. Our calculation of same-center NOI excludes lease termination income, straight-line rent adjustments, amortization of above and below market lease intangibles and write-offs of landlord inducement assets in order to enhance the comparability of results from one period to another.

We include a property in our same-center pool when we have owned all or a portion of the property since January 1 of the preceding calendar year and it has been in operation for both the entire preceding calendar year and current year-to-date period. New properties are excluded from same-center NOI until they meet these criteria. Properties excluded from the same-center pool that would otherwise meet these criteria are properties which are being repositioned or properties where we are considering alternatives for repositioning, where we intend to renegotiate the terms of the debt secured by the related property or return the property to the lender and those in which we own a noncontrolling interest of 25% or less. Triangle TownBurnsville Center, EastGate Mall, Hickory Point Mall, and Greenbrier Mall and Park Plaza were classified as Lender Malls at June 30, 2019.

March 31, 2020.

Due to the exclusions noted above, same-center NOI should only be used as a supplemental measure of our performance and not as an alternative to GAAP operating income (loss) or net income (loss). A reconciliation of our same-center NOI to net loss for the three and six month periods ended June 30,March 31, 2020 and 2019 and 2018 is as follows (in thousands):

primarily consisted of an $11.5a $1 2. 1  million decrease in revenues offset by a $2.8$ 0.3 million decline in operating expenses. Rental revenues declined $15.4 $1 3. 6million during the quarter primarily due to the impact of store closures and rent concessions for tenants with high occupancy cost levels, including tenants that declared bankruptcy. The $2.8 million decreasebankruptcy in operating expenses includes a decrease in real estate tax expenses of $1.1 million.

Same-center NOI decreased 5.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the prior-year period. The $16.1 million decrease for the six month period ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 primarily consisted of a $24.5 million decrease in revenues partially offset by an $8.4 million decline in operating expenses. Rental revenues declined $28.5 million during the quarter primarily due to the impact of store closures and rent concessions for tenants with high occupancy cost levels, including tenants that declared bankruptcy. The decrease in rental revenues includes the impact of $1.7 million of uncollectable revenues, which was formerly described as bad debt expense that was included in property operating expense in the prior-year period. The $8.4 million decrease in operating expenses was primarily driven by bad debt expense of $2.9 million in the prior-year period. Maintenance and repair expenses decreased $0.6 million and real estate tax expenses decreased $2.9 million..

Operational Review

The shopping center business is, to some extent, seasonal in nature with tenants typically achieving the highest levels of sales during the fourth quarter due to the holiday season, which generally results in higher percentage rents in the fourth quarter. Additionally, the malls earn most of their rents from short-term tenants during the holiday period. Thus, occupancy levels and revenue production are generally the highest in the fourth quarter of each year. Results of operations realized in any one quarter may not be indicative of the results likely to be experienced over the course of the fiscal year.

In response to local and state mandated closures due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our entire portfolio, except for a few properties, closed. Beginning in late April, certain government agencies have begun allowing the re-opening of certain properties with specified health and safety restrictions or solely for curbside service. As of May 25, 2020, all but three of our malls have re-opened including twelve properties that are offering curbside or exterior only service.

The majority of our tenants requested rent relief, either in the form of rent deferrals or abatements. We have placed a number of tenants in default for non-payment of rent. For the month of April, we received approximately 27% of billed cash rents. We estimate a collection rate for the month of May in the range of 25-30% based on preliminary cash receipts and conversations with retailers. We still anticipate a significant portion of April and May rents will be collected later in 2020 and into 2021 under agreed upon deferral plans and, to a lesser degree, certain rents may be abated. However, negotiations are ongoing, and it is premature to estimate a recovery rate at this time.

We classify our regional malls into three categories:

(1)

Stabilized Malls – Malls that have completed their initial lease-up and have been open for more than three complete calendar years.

(2)

Non-stabilized Malls - Malls that are in their initial lease-up phase. After three complete calendar years of operation, they are reclassified on January 1 of the fourth calendar year to the stabilized mall category. The Outlet Shoppes at Laredo was classified as a non-stabilized mall as of June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and 2019. The Outlet Shoppes at Laredo will be classified as a stabilized mall starting January 1, 2021.2018.

(3)

Excluded Malls - We exclude malls from our core portfolio if they fall in one of the following categories, for which operational metrics are excluded:


a.

Lender Malls - Malls for which we are working or intend to work with the lender on a restructure of the terms of the loan secured by the property or convey the secured property to the lender. Triangle TownBurnsville Center, EastGate Mall, Hickory Point Mall, and Greenbrier Mall and Park Plaza were classified as Lender Malls as of June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, and AcadianaGreenbrier Mall, Hickory Point Mall and Cary TowneTriangle Town Center were classified as a Lender MallMalls as of June 30, 2018.March 31, 2019. Lender Malls are excluded from our same-center pool as decisions made while in discussions with the lender may lead to metrics that do not provide relevant information related to the condition of these properties or they may be under cash management agreements with the respective servicers.properties.

b.

Repositioning Malls - Malls that are currently being repositioned or where we have determined that the current format of the mall no longer represents the best use of the mall and we are in the process of evaluating alternative strategies for the mall. This may include major redevelopment or an alternative retail or non-retail format, or after evaluating alternative strategies for the mall, we may determine that the mall no longer meets our criteria for long-term investment. The steps taken to reposition these malls, such as signing tenants to short-term leases, which are not included in occupancy percentages, or leasing to regional or local tenants, which typically do not report sales, may lead to metrics which do not provide relevant information related to the condition of these malls. Therefore, traditional performance measures, such as occupancy percentages and leasing metrics, exclude Repositioning Malls. There were no malls classified as Repositioning Malls as of March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019.June 30, 2019. Hickory Point Mall was classified as a Repositioning Mall as of June 30, 2018.

c.
Minority Interest Malls - Malls in which we have a 25% or less ownership interest. There were no malls classified as Minority Interest Malls as of June 30, 2019. Triangle Town Center was classified as a Minority Interest Mall as of June 30, 2018.

We derive the majority of our total revenues from the mall properties. The sources of our total revenues by property type were as follows:

We are successfully diversifying the tenant mix with 86% of new mall leasing and 64% of our total mall leasing this year signed with non-apparel tenants. We are currently under construction, have agreements executed or are in active negotiation on three multi-family projects, 14 entertainment operators, including two casinos, 9 hotels, 35 restaurants, four fitness centers, six medical uses, two self-storage facilities, two grocers and a number of other non-retail uses. We are making great progress replacing vacant anchors with two dozen locations committed including eight already open and another six set to open later this year. Beyond this we have active negotiations or LOIs for several others.  Anchor replacements such as the Live! Casino at Westmoreland Mall and Shoprite Supermarket at Stroud Mall are tangible examples of how we are transforming our centers with minimal cash investment.




LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES    

As of June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, we had $383.1$675.9 million outstanding on our secured credit facility leaving $301.9$4.3 million of availability, after considering outstanding letters of credit of $4.8 million, as well as unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $20.5$159.1 million. Our total pro rata share of debt at June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 was $4.4$4.5 billion. Our consolidated unencumbered properties generated approximately 26.8% of total consolidated NOI for the six months ended June 30, 2019 (excluding dispositions and Excluded Malls).

In April 2019, the loanFebruary 2020, we utilized our secured credit facility to pay off two loans secured by VolusiaParkway Place and Valley View Mall was refinanced to increase the principal balance to $50.0totaling $84.5 million. In addition, the maturity date was extended to April 2024 and the fixed interest rate was reduced from 8.00% to 4.56%. The net proceeds from theAlso, we closed on a new loan were used to retire the $41.0 million existing loan. During the three months ended June 30, 2019, we sold three properties for a total gross sales price of $32.2 million. The excess sales proceeds were used to reduce the outstanding balance on our secured line of credit, and the portion of those proceeds from the Honey Creek Mall sale were combined with the net proceeds from the refinancing of the loan secured by Volusia Mall to retire the $23.5 million loan secured by Honey Creek Mall (See Note 6 for additional information on dispositions). In May 2019, we exercised an option to extend the loan secured by The Outlet Shoppes at LaredoAtlanta – Phase II in the amount of $4.7 million, with an interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.5% and a maturity date of November 2023. Proceeds were used to May 2021.retire the $4.4 million existing loan. In conjunctionMarch 2020, we drew $280.0 million on our secured line of credit to increase liquidity and preserve financial flexibility in light of the uncertainty surrounding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. We purchased $154.2 million, including accrued interest, of U.S. Treasury securities with a portion of the borrowings on our secured line of credit.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, w e implemented comprehensive programs to halt all non-essential expenditures, to reduce operating and overhead expenses and to reduce, defer or suspend capital expenditures, including redevelopment investments. These programs include a temporary 50% reduction to the compensation of our Chairman of the Board, our CEO and our President as well as independent director fees, a temporary 20% reduction to the compensation of our other named executive officers, salary reductions to all staff, a broad-based furlough program and 2020 capital expenditure reductions or deferrals estimated in the range of $60.0 million to $80.0 million. While we have paused several major projects, we are pursuing capital lite solutions for backfilling our remaining available anchors, including joint venture partnerships, favorable lease structures and third-party arrangements – all of which benefit our portfolio while preserving capital. Additionally, we were able to achieve debt service payment deferrals for a portion of our secured loans. Securitized lenders in general have shown minimal flexibility in amending loan payments.

We have addressed nearly all of our major debt maturities for 2020 and are in discussions with existing lenders for certain 2021 secured loan maturities. We have no significant unsecured debt maturities until December 2023. We are being proactive to determine the best strategies for addressing these future maturities and significantly reducing leverage.

See the section below titled Senior Unsecured Notesfor a discussion regarding the violation of a covenant under our secured credit facility and the projected probable violation of another covenant under our secured credit facility within the next twelve months.

We have engaged Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP and Moelis & Company LLC (the “Advisors”) to assist us in exploring several alternatives to reduce overall leverage and interest expense and to extend the maturity of our debt including (i) the senior secured credit facility, which includes a revolving facility with a balance of $675.9 million and term loan with a balance of $456.3 million as of March 31, 2020, that matures in July 2023 and (ii) the Notes with balances of $450.0 million, $300.0 million, and $625.0 million, as of March 31, 2020, that mature in December 2023, October 2024 and December 2026, respectively, as well as the cumulative unpaid dividends on our preferred stock and the special common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. The Advisors recently commenced discussions with advisors to certain holders of the Notes and the credit committee of the senior secured credit facility. We may pursue a comprehensive solution that includes a potential exchange of debt with the amendment, a payment of $10.8 million was made to reduce the outstanding balanceholders of the loanNotes, addressing our preferred stock and the special common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership, amendments to $43.0 million. The noncontrolling interest partnerthe financial covenants under the senior secured credit facility and the Notes and other options that may result in The Outlet Shoppes at Laredo joint venture funded its 35% sharethe reorganization of the $10.8Company.

We elected to not make the $11.8 million payment. We also formed a new 50/50 joint venture to develop a self-storage facility adjacent to Parkdale MallInterest Payment due and closed in May 2019payable on a five-year $6.5 million construction loan which bears interest at the greater of 5.25% or LIBOR plus 2.80% to fund the project.

Subsequent to June 30, 2019, we sold the 850 Greenbrier Circle office building, the Barnes & Noble parcel in High Point, NC, the Kroger parcel at Foothills Plaza and the Forum at Grandview in Madison, MS, for a total gross price of $46.6 million (See Note 15 for additional information).
In April 2019, we entered into a settlement agreement and release1, 2020, with respect to a class action lawsuit.the 5.25% senior unsecured notes due 2023 (the “2023 Notes”). Under the termsindenture governing the 2023 Notes, we have a 30-day grace period to make the Interest Payment before the nonpayment is considered an event of default with respect to the 2023 Notes. Any event of default under the 2023 Notes for nonpayment of the settlement agreement, we will not pay any dividendsInterest Payment would also be considered an event of default under the senior secured credit facility, which could lead to holdersan acceleration of our common shares payable inamounts due under the thirdfacility. Further, if the trustee for the 2023 Notes should exercise its right to accelerate the maturity of the full balance owed on the 2023 Notes as a result of such an event of default, that would also constitute an event of default under the 4.60% senior unsecured notes due 2024 and fourth quarters of 2019. The settlement agreement does not restrict our ability to declare dividends payable in 2020 or in subsequent years. See Note 12the 5.95% senior notes due 2026, which could lead to the condensed consolidated financial statements for more information relatedacceleration of all amounts due under those notes.  We have elected to enter the 30-day grace period with respect to the settlement.

We derive athe majority of our revenues from leases with retail tenants, which have historically been the primary source for funding short-term liquidity and capital needs such as operating expenses, debt service, tenant construction allowances, recurring capital expenditures, dividends and distributions. We believe that the combination of cash flows generated from our operations, combined with cash on hand and our debt and equity sources and the availability under our credit facilities and proceeds from dispositionsinvestment in U.S. Treasury securities will, for the foreseeable future, provide adequate liquidity to meet our cash needs.  In addition to these factors, we have options available to us to generate additional liquidity, including but not limited to, debt and equity offerings, joint venture investments issuances of noncontrolling interests in our Operating Partnership, and decreasing expenditures related to tenant construction allowances and other capital expenditures. We also generate revenues from sales of peripheral land at our properties and from sales of real estate assets when it is determined that we can realize an optimal value for the assets.

Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities decreased $53.9$16.8 million primarily due to a decline in rental revenues related to store closures and rent concessions for tenants with high occupancy cost levels, including tenants that closed in 2019 and 2020 due to bankruptcy, and the disposition of two malls, two community centers andas well as a hotel since June 30, 2018.

Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities

Cash flows

Net cash used in investing activities for 2020 was primarily related to the purchase of $153.2 million of U.S. Treasury securities using a portion of the $280.0 million that we drew on our secured line of credit. We also expended $22.8 million on additions to real estate assets, primarily related to redevelopment projects. Net cash provided by investing activities increased $49.9 million compared toin the prior year. year period related to $35.3 million of proceeds from dispositions of properties, which was partially offset by $26.4 million of additions to real estate assets.

Cash Provided by (Used in) Financing Activities

The net cash inflow for 2019 was2020 is primarily relateddue to a greater amountthe $280.0 million draw on our secured credit facility in order to increase liquidity and preserve financial flexibility in light of proceeds from sales in the current period combined with less cashuncertainty surrounding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, there were no common or preferred stock dividends paid for capital expendituresthe three months ended March 31, 2020, as we continue to focus on controlling such expenditures. These increases were partially offset by a lower amount of distributions from unconsolidated affiliates in 2019 as we received a distribution from an unconsolidated affiliate in 2018 related to excess proceeds from the refinancing of a mortgage loan.

Cash Used in Financing Activities
Cash flows used in financing activities decreased $0.4 million in 2019 compared to the prior year. Although the reduction in our common stock dividend resulted in savings of $48.6$12.9 million in dividends and distributions paid to holders of common shareholdersstock and $11.2 million in dividends paid to holders of preferred stock for the noncontrolling interest holders in the Operating Partnership, this was offset by the additional $32.6 million of principal payments on debt and the payment of $15.4 million of deferred financing costs, which were mostly related to our new secured credit facility.three months ended March 31, 2019.

Debt

Debt of the Company

CBL has no indebtedness. Either the Operating Partnership or one of its consolidated subsidiaries, that it has a direct or indirect ownership interest in, is the borrower on all of our debt. CBL is a limited guarantor of the Notes, as described in Note 8to the condensed consolidated financial statements, for losses suffered solely by reason of fraud or willful misrepresentation by the Operating Partnership or its affiliates. We also provide a similar limited guarantee of the Operating Partnership's obligations with respect to our secured credit facility as of June 30, 2019.March 31, 2020.

At March 31, 2020, we were not in compliance with a covenant under the secured credit facility, which provides that we may not have more than $100.0 million of cash on hand that constitutes borrowings on our secured line of credit. In March 2020, we drew $280.0 million from the secured line of credit and anticipated immediately purchasing $180.0 million of U.S. Treasury securities, which would leave $100.0 million of cash on hand from such borrowings. However, due to market conditions, we were not able to purchase the U.S. Treasury securities immediately, which resulted in us violating this covenant. Violation of this covenant provides the lenders with the option to accelerate the maturity of the senior secured credit facility. The administrative agent of the secured credit facility notified us that we were in default and that the administrative agent and lenders reserve all rights and remedies under the secured credit facility. The lenders have not exercised their right to accelerate the maturity of the secured credit facility. In March 2020, we used $154.2 million to purchase U.S. Treasury securities and subsequent to March 31, 2020 utilized an additional $26.4 million to fund April debt service payments and operating expenses, which reduced the amount of cash on hand that constitutes borrowings on the secured line of credit to less than $100.0 million. However, this did not cure the default per the terms of the senior secured credit facility. We will pursue obtaining a waiver from the lenders. If we are not able to obtain a waiver directly, then we will seek to obtain a waiver as part of the alternatives we are exploring, as previously described above under Liquidity and Capital Resources ..

We considered the projected impact of COVID-19 on our cash flows and our analysis of future compliance with the financial covenants and determined that it is probable we will fail to meet the minimum debt yield covenant under the senior secured credit facility during the third quarter of 2020, the fourth quarter of 2020 and the first quarter of 2021. The minimum debt yield covenant provides that the ratio of the adjusted net operating income, as defined, of the borrowing base properties that secure the senior secured credit facility to the total outstanding balance on the senior secured credit facility must be greater than 10.0%. Violation of this covenant provides the lenders with the option to accelerate the maturity of the senior secured credit facility. We could remain in compliance with the debt yield covenant if we (i) added additional unencumbered assets to the collateral pool, subject to lender approval, which is not to be unreasonably withheld, (ii) paid down the amount of debt outstanding with projected available cash or (iii) negotiated a waiver of the covenant with the lenders.

Given the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the retail and broader markets, the ongoing weakness of the credit markets and significant uncertainties associated with each of these matters, we believe that there is substantial doubt that we will continue to operate as a going concern within one year after the date our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2020 are issued. See Note 81 – Organization and Basis of Presentationto the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information concerning the amount and terms of our outstanding indebtedness and compliance with applicable covenants and restrictions as of June 30, 2019, as well as activity related to consolidated property loans..

Equity

During the six months ended June 30,

In 2019, we paidsuspended all future dividends of $48.4 million to holders of CBL'son our common stock and preferred stock, as well as $11.7 million in distributions to theall noncontrolling interest investors in our Operating Partnership. The dividend arrearage created by our board of directors’ decision to suspend the dividends that continue to accrue on our outstanding preferred stock currently makes us ineligible to use the abbreviated, and less costly, SEC Form S-3 registration statement to register our securities for sale.  This means we will be required to use a registration statement on Form S-1 to register additional securities for sale with the SEC, which we expect to hinder our ability to act quickly in relation to, and raise our costs incurred in, future capital raising activities.  This preferred dividend arrearage (and the Operating Partnership’s related arrearage in distributions to its preferred units of limited partnership underlying our outstanding preferred shares) also will require that we not resume any payment of dividends on our common stock unless full cumulative dividends accrued with respect to our preferred stock (and such underlying preferred units) for all past quarters and the then-current quarter are first declared and paid in cash, or declared with a sum sufficient for the payment thereof having been set apart for such payment in cash. In addition, for so long as this distribution suspension results in the existence of a distribution shortfall (as described in the Partnership Agreement of the Operating Partnership) with respect to any of the S-SCUs, the L-SCUs or the K-SCUs (an “SCU Distribution Shortfall”), we (i) may not cause the Operating Partnership to resume distributions to holders of its outstanding common units of limited partnership until all holders of SCUs have received distributions sufficient to satisfy the SCU Distribution Shortfall for all prior quarters and other consolidated subsidiaries. Thethe then-current quarter (which effectively also prevents the resumption of common stock dividends, since our common stock dividends are funded by distributions the Company receives on the underlying common units it holds in the Operating Partnership) and (ii) may not elect to settle any exchange requested by a holder of common units of the Operating Partnership paid distributionsin cash, and may only settle any such exchange through the issuance of $22.4 million and $32.0 million onshares of common stock or other units of the preferredOperating Partnership ranking junior to any such units and common units, respectively, as well as distributionsto which a distribution shortfall exists. Our board of $5.7 milliondirectors has prospectively approved that, to the noncontrolling interests in other consolidated subsidiaries.

Future dividends payable will be determined by our Boardextent any partners exercise any or all of Directors based upon circumstances attheir exchange rights while the time of declaration. The dividend was reduced to an annualized rate of $0.30 per share beginning with the dividend payable in January 2019 from the prior annualized rate of $0.80 per share. As previously noted, under the termsexistence of the class action settlement agreement (seeSCU Distribution Shortfall requires an exchange to be settled through the issuance of shares of common stock or other units of the Operating Partnership, the consideration paid shall be in the form of shares of common stock. We will review taxable income on a regular basis and take measures, if necessary, to ensure that we meet the minimum distribution requirements to maintain our status as a REIT.

Table of Contents

See Listing Criteriain Note 121to the condensed consolidated financial statements),statements for additional information regarding a notice we will not pay any dividendsreceived from the NYSE regarding our non-compliance with the NYSE Listing Standards and our plans to holders of our common shares payable in the third and fourth quarters of 2019. The settlement agreement does not restrict our ability to declare dividends payable in 2020 or in subsequent years.address this non-compliance.


As a publicly traded company, and as a subsidiary of a publicly traded company, we previously have accessed capital through both the public equity and debt markets. We currently have a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 on file with the SEC authorizingthat previously authorized us to publicly issue unspecified amounts of senior and/or subordinated debt securities, shares of preferred stock (or depositary shares representing fractional interests therein), shares of common stock, warrants or rights to purchase any of the foregoing securities, and units consisting of two or more of these classes or series of securities and limited guarantees of debt securities issued by the Operating Partnership. This shelf registration statement also authorized the Operating Partnership to publicly issue unsubordinated debt securities. This shelf registration statement was due to expire in July 2021. However, as a result of both (i) the fact that the Company no longer qualifies as a well-known seasoned issuer under SEC rules and (ii) our loss of eligibility to use Form S-3 to register offers and sales of securities as described above, we therefore are unable to use this shelf registration.

registration statement.

Additionally, while we had previously suspended quarterly dividend payments on our common stock during 2019, a very small amount of monthly “cash option” investments in shares have continued pursuant to the terms of the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan (“DRIP”). Due in part to impacts on the Company’s operations and staffing resulting from ongoing efforts to address the COVID-19 pandemic, we inadvertently failed to suspend the operation of these “cash option” investments during the months of March, April and May 2020, after we lost the ability to use the Form S-3 registration statement for the DRIP, effective with the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K in March, due to the dividend arrearage with respect to our preferred stock. We have now fully suspended the operation of our DRIP, including the cash option feature but, as a result of this oversight, we issued a total of 6,134 shares of common stock that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) for aggregate consideration of $1,346.94 prior to such suspension. The purchasers of these shares, issued pursuant to our DRIP when we were not eligible to issue shares on Form S-3, could bring claims against us for rescission and other damages under federal or state securities laws.

Capital Expenditures

Deferred maintenance expenditures are generally included in the determination of CAM expense that is billed to tenants as CAM expense, and mostin accordance with their lease agreements. These expenditures are generally recovered over a 5 to 15-year period. Renovation expenditures are primarily for remodeling and upgrades of malls, of which a portion is recovered from tenants over a 5 to 15-year period.  We recover these costs through fixed amounts with annual increases or pro rata cost reimbursements based on the tenant’s occupied space.

The following table, which excludes expenditures for developments, redevelopments and expansions, summarizes these capital expenditures, including our share of unconsolidated affiliates' capital expenditures, for the three and six month periodsthree-month period ended June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 compared to the same periodsperiod in 20182019 (in thousands):

Tenant allowances primarily relate to new leases. Tenant allowances related to renewal leases were not material for the periods presented.


Annual capital expenditures budgets are prepared for each of our properties that are intended to provide for all necessary recurring and non-recurring capital expenditures. As noted above, in response to the impact from COVID-19 we have deferred or suspended capital expenditures, including redevelopment expenditures, in the range of $60.0 million to $80.0 million. We believe that property operating cash flows, which include reimbursements from tenants for certain expenses, and readily available cash on hand will provide the necessary funding for these expenditures.

Construction is in progress and is expected to be completed in the fall of 2019 on the first phase of redevelopment of the former Sears building at Brookfield Square, which includes new dining and entertainment options such as the Marcus Theater's Movie Tavern dine-in movie experience, Whirlyball entertainment center and Outback Steakhouse. Uncle Julio’s has already opened on a pad in the former Sears parking lot and construction has commenced on the new city-owned hotel and convention center, which will connect to our center through a new landscaped walkway. We are also adding a boutique fitness studio and medical office as part of the redevelopment. Construction is progressing on the Sears redevelopment at Hamilton Place. The project includes Dave & Busters, Aloft Hotel, Dick’s Sporting Goods, additional restaurants and office space - all joining Cheesecake Factory, which opened last December

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Unconsolidated Affiliates

We have ownership interests in 2228 unconsolidated affiliates as of June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 that are described in Note 7to the condensed consolidated financial statements. The unconsolidated affiliates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting and are reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as investments in unconsolidated affiliates.  

The following are circumstances when we may consider entering into a joint venture with a third party:

Third parties may approach us with opportunities in which they have obtained land and performed some pre-development activities, but they may not have sufficient access to the capital resources or the development and leasing expertise to bring the project to fruition. We enter into such arrangements when we determine such a project is viable and we can achieve a satisfactory return on our investment. We typically earn development fees from the joint venture and provide management and leasing services to the property for a fee once the property is placed in operation.

We typically earn development fees from the joint venture and provide management and leasing services to the property for a fee once the property is placed in operation.
We determine that we may have the opportunity to capitalize on the value we have created in a property by selling an interest in the property to a third party. This provides us with an additional source

Table of capital that can be used to develop or acquire additional real estate assets that we believe will provide greater potential for Contents

We determine that we may have the opportunity to capitalize on the value we have created in a property by selling an interest in the property to a third party. This provides us with an additional source of capital that can be used to develop or acquire additional real estate assets that we believe will provide greater potential forgrowth. When we retain an interest in an asset rather than selling a 100% interest, it is typically because this allows us to continue to manage the property, which provides us the ability to earn fees for management, leasing, development and financing services provided to the joint venture.

Guarantees

We may guarantee the debt of a joint venture primarily because it allows the joint venture to obtain funding at a lower cost than could be obtained otherwise. This results in a higher return for the joint venture on its investment, and a higher return on our investment in the joint venture. We may receive a fee from the joint venture for providing the guaranty. Additionally, when we issue a guaranty, the terms of the joint venture agreement typically provide that we may receive indemnification from the joint venture or have the ability to increase our ownership interest.

See Note 12to the condensed consolidated statements for information related to our guarantees of unconsolidated affiliates' debt as of June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018.2019.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the financial statements and disclosures. Some of these estimates and assumptions require application of difficult, subjective, and/or complex judgment about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and that may change in subsequent periods. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 20182019 contains a discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates in the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section. There have been no material changes to these policies and estimates during the sixthree months ended June 30, 2019.March 31, 2020. Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10‑K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2to the condensed consolidated financial statements for information on recently issued accounting pronouncements.


Impact of Inflation and Deflation

Deflation can result in a decline in general price levels, often caused by a decrease in the supply of money or credit.  The predominant effects of deflation are high unemployment, credit contraction and weakened consumer demand.  Restricted lending practices could impact our ability to obtain financings or refinancings for our properties and our tenants’ ability to obtain credit.  Decreases in consumer demand can have a direct impact on our tenants and the rents we receive.

During inflationary periods, substantially all of our tenant leases contain provisions designed to mitigate the impact of inflation.  These provisions include clauses enabling us to receive percentage rent based on tenants' gross sales, which generally increase as prices rise, and/or escalation clauses, which generally increase rental rates during the terms of the leases.  In addition, many of the leases are for terms of less than 10 years, which may provide us the opportunity to replace existing leases with new leases at higher base and/or percentage rent if rents of the existing leases are below the then existing market rate.  Most of the leases require the tenants to pay a fixed amount, subject to annual increases, for their share of operating expenses, including CAM, real estate taxes, insurance and certain capital expenditures, which reduces our exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation.

Non-GAAP Measure

Funds from Operations

FFO is a widely used non-GAAP measure of the operating performance of real estate companies that supplements net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP. NAREIT defines FFO as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding gains or losses on sales of depreciable operating properties and impairment losses of depreciable properties, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures and noncontrolling interests. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships, joint ventures and noncontrolling interests are calculated on the same basis. We define FFO as defined above by NAREIT less dividends on preferred stock of the Company or distributions on preferred units of the Operating Partnership, as applicable. Our method of calculating FFO may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs.

We believe that FFO provides an additional indicator of the operating performance of our properties without giving effect to real estate depreciation and amortization, which assumes the value of real estate assets declines predictably over time. Since values of real estate assets have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, we believe that FFO, which excludes historical cost depreciation and amortization, enhances investors’ understanding of our operating performance. The use of FFO as an indicator of financial performance is influenced not only by the operations of our properties and interest rates, but also by our capital structure.

We present both FFO allocable to Operating Partnership common unitholders and FFO allocable to common shareholders, as we believe that both are useful performance measures.  We believe FFO allocable to Operating Partnership common unitholders is a useful performance measure since we conduct substantially all of our business through our Operating Partnership and, therefore, it reflects the performance of the properties in absolute terms regardless of the ratio of ownership interests of our common shareholders and the noncontrolling interest in our Operating Partnership.  We believe FFO allocable to common shareholders is a useful performance measure because it is the performance measure that is most directly comparable to net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders.

In our reconciliation of net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders to FFO allocable to Operating Partnership common unitholders that is presented below, we make an adjustment to add back noncontrolling interest in income (loss) of our Operating Partnership in order to arrive at FFO of the Operating Partnership common unitholders.  We then apply a percentage to FFO of the Operating Partnership common unitholders to arrive at FFO allocable to common shareholders. The percentage is computed by taking the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period and dividing it by the sum of the weighted-average number of common shares and the weighted-average number of Operating Partnership units held by noncontrolling interests during the period.     

FFO does not represent cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP, is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow needs and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) for purposes of evaluating our operating performance or to cash flow as a measure of liquidity.

The Company believes that it is important to identify the impact of certain significant items on its FFO measures for a reader to have a complete understanding of the Company’s results of operations. Therefore, the Company has also presented adjusted FFO measures excluding these significant items from the applicable periods. Please refer


to the reconciliation of net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders to FFO allocable to Operating Partnership common unitholders below for a description of these adjustments.

FFO of the Operating Partnership decreased 25.6%increased 15.7% to $68.5$50.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 as compared to $92.1 million for the prior-year period, and decreased 35.7% to $112.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to $175.0$44.0 million for the prior-year period. Excluding the adjustments noted below, FFO of the Operating Partnership, as adjusted, decreased 26.1%14.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 to $68.5$51.6 million compared to $92.8$60.5 million for the same period in 2018, and decreased 26.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 to $129.1 million compared to $176.6 million for the same period in 2018.2019. The decrease in FFO, as adjusted, was primarily driven by lower property-level NOI and dilution from asset sales and higher general and administrative expenses resulting from legal and third party fees related to the new secured term loan and legal fees related to litigation.

ITEM 3:    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to various market risk exposures, including interest rate risk. The following discussion regarding our risk management activities includes forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainties.  Estimates of future performance and economic conditions are reflected assuming certain changes in interest rates.  Caution should be used in evaluating our overall market risk from the information presented below, as actual results may differ.  

Interest Rate Risk

Based on our proportionate share of consolidated and unconsolidated variable-rate debt at June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, a 0.5% increase or decrease in interest rates on variable-rate debt would decrease or increase annual cash flows by approximately $5.1$6.6 million and increase or decrease annual interest expense, after the effect of capitalized interest, by approximately $5.0$6.5 million.

Based on our proportionate share of total consolidated and unconsolidated debt at June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, a 0.5% increase in interest rates would decrease the fair value of debt by approximately $51.1$29.0 million, while a 0.5% decrease in interest rates would increase the fair value of debt by approximately $52.8$34.1 million. 

ITEM 4:    Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, an evaluation was performed under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and with the participation of our management, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's and the Operating Partnership's disclosure controls and


procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company's and the Operating Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information that the Company and the Operating Partnership are required to disclose in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and to ensure that information we are required to disclose is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

In conjunction with the implementation of ASC 842, Leases, which was adopted on January 1, 2019, we modified some of our processes around lease accounting. As a lessee, the guidance impacted the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements through the recognition of right-of-use ("ROU") assets and corresponding lease liabilities for operating leases as of January 1, 2019. As a lessor, the guidance impacted the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements in regard to the narrowed definition of initial direct costs that can be capitalized, the change in the presentation of rental revenues as one line item and the change in reporting uncollectable operating lease receivables as a reduction of rental revenues instead of property operating expense.

There have been no other changes in the Company's or the Operating Partnership's internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Securities Litigation

The Company and certain of its officers and directors have beenwere named as defendants in three putative securities class action lawsuits (collectively, the “Securities Class Action Litigation”), each filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee, on behalf of all persons who purchased or otherwise acquired the Company’s securities during a specified period of time. The first such lawsuit, captioned Paskowitz v. CBL & Associates Properties, Inc., et al., 1:19-cv-00149-JRG-CHS, was filed on May 17, 2019, and asserts claims on behalf of persons or entities that purchased CBL securities between November 8, 2017 and March 26, 2019, inclusive.  The second such lawsuit, captioned Williams v. CBL & Associates Properties, Inc., et al., 1:19-cv-00181, was filed on June 21, 2019, and asserts claims on behalf of persons or entities that purchased CBL securities between April 29, 2016 and March 26, 2019, inclusive.  The third such lawsuit, captioned Merelles v. CBL & Associates Properties, Inc., et al., 1:19-CV-00193,


was filed on July 2, 2019, and asserts claims on behalf of persons or entities that purchased CBL securities between July 29, 2014 and March 26, 2019.  The CourtThose cases were consolidated these cases on July 17, 2019, under the caption In re CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. Securities Litigation, 1:19-cv-00149-JRG-CHS. After plaintiff Laurence Paskowitz voluntarily dismissed his case on July 25, 2019, the Court re-consolidated the two remaining cases under the caption In re CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. Securities Litigation, 1:19-cv-00181-JRG-CHS, on August 2, 2019. 

The complaints filed in the Securities Class Action Litigation allege violations of the securities laws, including, among other things, that the defendants made certain materially false and misleading statements and omissions regarding the Company’s contingent liabilities, business, operations, and prospects during the periods of time specified above. The plaintiffs seek compensatory damages and attorneys’ fees and costs, among other relief, but have not specified the amount of damages sought. The outcome of these legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty.

Certain of the Company’s current and former directors and officers have been named as defendants in threenine shareholder derivative lawsuits (collectively, the “Derivative Litigation”). On June 4, 2019, a shareholder filed a putative derivative complaint captioned Robert Garfield v. Stephen D. Lebovitz et al., 1:19-cv-01038-LPS, in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (the “Garfield Derivative Action”), purportedly on behalf of the Company against certain of its officers and directors. On June 24, 2019, another shareholderSeptember 5, 2019 and September 25, 2019, respectively, other shareholders filed athree additional putative derivative complaint captioned Robert Cohen v. Stephen D. Lebovitz et al., 1:19-cv-01185-LPS, alsocomplaints, each in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, captioned as follows: Robert Cohen v. Stephen D. Lebovitz et al. , 1:19-cv-01185-LPS (the “Cohen Derivative Action”); Travis Lore v. Stephen D. Lebovitz et al., 1:19-cv-01665-LPS (the “ Lore Derivative Action”), and City of Gainesville Cons. Police Officers’ and Firefighters Retirement Plan v. Stephen D. Lebovitz et al. , 1:19-cv-01800 (the “ Gainesville Derivative Action”), each asserting substantially similar claims purportedly on behalf of the Company against similar defendants. The Court consolidated the Garfield Derivative Action and the Cohen Derivative Action on July 17, 2019, under the caption In re CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. Derivative Litigation, 1:19-cv-01038-LPS and on(the " Consolidated Derivative Action"). On July 19,25, 2019, the Court stayed proceedings in the Consolidated Derivative Action pending resolution of an eventual motion to dismiss in the Securities Class Action Litigation. On October 14, 2019, the parties jointly moved to stay the caseGainesville Derivative Action and the Lore Derivative Action filed a joint stipulation and proposed order confirming that each of those cases is subject to the consolidation order previously entered by the Court in the Consolidated Derivative Action and that

55


Table of Contents

further proceedings in those cases are stayed pending resolution of an eventual motion to dismiss in the Securities Class Action Litigation. On July 22, 2019, anothera shareholder filed a putative derivative complaint captioned Shebitz v. Lebovitz et al., 1:19-cv-00213, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee (the “ShebitzDerivative Action”); on January 10, 2020, a shareholder filed a putative derivative complaint captioned Chatman v. Lebovitz, et al.,2020-0011-JTL, in the Delaware Chancery Court (the “Chatman Derivative Action”); on February 12, 2020, a shareholder filed a putative derivative complaint captioned Kurup v. Lebovitz, et al.,2020-0070-JTL, in the Delaware Chancery Court (the “KurupDerivative Action”); on February 26, 2020, a shareholder filed a putative derivative complaint captioned Kemmer v. Lebovitz, et al.,1:20-cv-00052, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee (the “KemmerDerivative Action”) ; and on April 14, 2020, a shareholder filed a putative derivative complaint captioned Hebig v. Lebovitz, et al.,1:19-cv-00149-JRG-CHS , in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee (the “HebigDerivative Action”) , each asserting substantially similar claims purportedly on behalf of the Company against similar defendants. On July 17, 2019, the Court consolidated the Garfield Derivative Action and the Cohen Derivative Action under the caption In re CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. Derivative Litigation, 1:19-cv-01038-LPS.  On July 25,October 7, 2019, the Court stayed these two actionsthe ShebitzDerivative Action, pending resolution of an eventual motion to dismiss in the related Securities Class Action Litigation.Litigation; the Company expects the

Chatman, Kurup, Kemmer , and HebigDerivative Actions to be stayed as well .

The complaints filed in the Derivative Litigation allege, among other things, breaches of fiduciary duties, unjust enrichment, waste of corporate assets, and violations of the federal securities laws. The factual allegations upon which these claims are based are similar to the factual allegations made in the Securities Class Action Litigation, described above. The complaints filed in the Derivative Litigation seek, among other things, unspecified damages and restitution for the Company from the individual defendants, the payment of costs and attorneys’ fees, and that the Company be directed to reform certain governance and internal procedures. The outcome of these legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty.

The Company's insurance carriers have been placed on notice of these matters.

The Company is currently involved in certain other litigation that arises in the ordinary course of business, most of which is expected to be covered by liability insurance. Management makes assumptions and estimates concerning the likelihood and amount of any potential loss relating to these matters using the latest information available. The Company records a liability for litigation if an unfavorable outcome is probable and the amount of loss or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. If an unfavorable outcome is probable and a reasonable estimate of the loss is a range, the Company accrues the best estimate within the range. If no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, the Company accrues the minimum amount within the range. If an unfavorable outcome is probable but the amount of the loss cannot be reasonably estimated, the Company discloses the nature of the litigation and indicates that an estimate of the loss or range of loss cannot be made. If an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible and the estimated loss is material, the Company discloses the nature and estimate of the possible loss of the litigation. Based on current expectations, such matters, both individually and in the aggregate, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the liquidity, results of operations, business or financial condition of the Company.

ITEM 1A.    Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risks that could materially affect our business, financial condition or results of operations that are discussed under the caption “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item1AItem 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2019. The risk factor set forth below updates, and should be read together with, such risk factors. Moreover, risk factors set forth in the Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2018. There2019 could be heightened as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The current pandemic of the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19 has, and could continue to, materially and adversely impact or disrupt our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and performance, as could any future outbreak of another highly infectious or contagious disease.

Since being reported in December 2019, COVID-19 has spread globally, including to every state in the United States. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic, and on March 13, 2020, the United States declared a national emergency with respect to COVID-19.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and may continue to have, repercussions across regional and global economies and financial markets. The outbreak of COVID-19 in many countries, including the United States, has significantly adversely impacted global economic activity and has contributed to significant volatility and negative pressure in financial markets. The global impact of the outbreak has been rapidly evolving and, as cases of COVID-19 have continued to be identified in additional countries, many - including the United States - have reacted by instituting quarantines, mandating business and school closures and restricting travel.

Certain states and cities, including where we own properties and where our corporate headquarters is located, have also reacted by instituting quarantines, restrictions on travel, “shelter-in-place” rules, restrictions on types of business that

56


Table of Contents

may continue to operate, and/or restrictions on the types of construction projects that may continue. The Company cannot predict if additional states and cities will implement similar restrictions or when restrictions currently in place will be lifted . As a result, the COVID-19 pandemic is negatively impacting almost every industry directly or indirectly, including the retail industr y in which the Company and our tenants operate.

A majority of our tenants have announced temporary closures or other limits on the operations of their stores and requested rent deferral or rent abatement during this pandemic or have failed to pay rent. In addition, state, local or industry-initiated efforts, such as tenant rent freezes, or governmental or court-imposed delays in the processing of landlord initiated commercial eviction and collection actions in various jurisdictions in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, may also affect our ability to collect rent or enforce remedies for the failure to pay rent. We believe our tenants do not have a contractual right to cease paying rent due to government-mandated closures and we intend to enforce our rights under our lease agreements. However, COVID-19 and the related governmental orders present fairly novel situations for which the ultimate legal outcome cannot be assured, and it is possible future governmental action could impact our rights under the lease agreements. The extent of tenant requests and actions, and the resulting impact to the Company’s results of operations and cash flows, is uncertain and cannot be predicted.

In addition, in response to an executive order issued by state and local authorities, most of our employees based at our headquarters are currently working remotely. The effects of the executive order, including an extended period of remote work arrangements, could strain our business continuity plans, introduce operational risk, including but not limited to cybersecurity risks, and impair our ability to manage our business. 

The COVID-19 pandemic, or a future pandemic, could also have further material and adverse effects on our ability to successfully operate and on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows due to, among other factors:

a complete or partial closure of, or other operational issues at, one or more of our properties resulting from government or tenant action;

the reduced economic activity severely impacts our tenants' businesses, financial condition and liquidity and may cause one or more of our tenants to be unable to meet their obligations to us in full, or at all, or to otherwise seek modifications of such obligations;

the reduced economic activity, as well as any lasting reduction in consumer activity at brick-and-mortar commercial establishments due to changed habits in response to the prolonged existence and threat of the COVID-19 pandemic, could result in a prolonged recession and could negatively impact consumer discretionary spending;

difficulty accessing debt and equity capital on attractive terms, or at all, impacts to our credit ratings, and a severe disruption and instability in the global financial markets or deteriorations in credit and financing conditions may affect our access to capital necessary to fund business operations or address maturing liabilities on a timely basis and our tenants' ability to fund their business operations and meet their obligations to us;

permitting, inspections and reviews by jurisdictional planning commissions and authorities is also likely to be delayed or postponed which could materially impact the timeline and budgets for completing redevelopments;

projects in our redevelopment pipeline may not be pursued or may be completed later or with higher costs than anticipated, potentially causing a loss that exceeds our investment in the project;

the financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic could negatively impact our future compliance with financial covenants of our credit facility, indentures and other recourse and non-recourse debt agreements and result in a default and potentially an acceleration of indebtedness, which non-compliance could negatively impact our ability to make additional borrowings under our revolving credit facility and pay dividends;

any impairment in value of our tangible assets and intangible lease assets that could be recorded as a result of weaker economic conditions;  

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 for our or our tenants' efficient operations could adversely affect our operations and those of our tenants;

the ability to renew leases or re-lease vacant spaces on favorable terms, or at all; and

the potential negative impact on the health of our personnel, particularly if a significant number of them are impacted, could result in a deterioration in our ability to ensure business continuity during this disruption.

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our operations and those of our tenants will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic, the actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, among others. Additional closures by our tenants of their stores and early terminations by our tenants of their leases could further reduce our cash flows, which could impact our ability to resume paying dividends to our stockholders at any point in the future.

57


Table of Contents

The rapid development and fluidity of this situation precludes any prediction as to the full adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. T he COVID-19 pandemic presents material uncertainty and risk with respect to our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and performance .

We have determined that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

In evaluating whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued, our management considered our current financial condition and liquidity sources, including current funds available, forecasted future cash flows and conditional and unconditional obligations due over the next twelve months.

At March 31, 2020, we were not in compliance with a covenant under our senior secured credit facility, which provides that we may not have more than $100.0 million of cash on hand that constitutes borrowings on our secured line of credit. Violation of this covenant provides the lenders with the option to accelerate the maturity of the senior secured credit facility. The administrative agent of the secured credit facility notified us that we were in default and that the administrative agent and lenders reserve all rights and remedies under the secured credit facility. The lenders have not exercised their right to accelerate the maturity of the secured credit facility. We will pursue obtaining a waiver from the lenders.

We also considered the projected impact of COVID-19 on our cash flows and our analysis of future compliance with the financial covenants and determined that it is probable we will fail to meet the minimum debt yield covenant under the senior secured credit facility during the third quarter of 2020, the fourth quarter of 2020 and the first quarter of 2021. The minimum debt yield covenant provides that the ratio of the adjusted net operating income, as defined, of the borrowing base properties that secure the senior secured credit facility to the total outstanding balance on the senior secured credit facility must be greater than 10.0%. Violation of this covenant provides the lenders with the option to accelerate the maturity of the senior secured credit facility. We could remain in compliance with the debt yield covenant if we (i) added additional unencumbered assets to the collateral pool, subject to lender approval, which is not to be unreasonably withheld, (ii) paid down the amount of debt outstanding with projected available cash or (iii) negotiated a waiver of the covenant with the lenders.

We have engaged advisors to assist us in exploring several alternatives to reduce overall leverage and interest expense and to extend the maturity of our debt including (i) the senior secured credit facility, which includes a revolving facility with a balance of $675.9 million and term loan with a balance of $456.3 million as of March 31, 2020, that matures in July 2023 and (ii) the Notes with balances of $450.0 million, $300.0 million, and $625.0 million, as of March 31, 2020, that mature in December 2023, October 2024 and December 2026, respectively, as well as the cumulative unpaid dividends on our preferred stock and the special common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. The advisors recently commenced discussions with advisors to certain holders of the Notes and the credit committee of the senior secured credit facility. We may pursue a comprehensive solution that includes a potential exchange of debt with the holders of the Notes, addressing our preferred stock and the special common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership, amendments to the financial covenants under the senior secured credit facility and the Notes and other options that may result in the reorganization of the Company.

We elected to not make the $11.8 million Interest Payment due and payable on June 1, 2020, with respect to the 5.25% senior unsecured notes due 2023 (the “2023 Notes”). Under the indenture governing the 2023 Notes, we have a 30-day grace period to make the Interest Payment before the nonpayment is considered an event of default with respect to the 2023 Notes. Any event of default under the 2023 Notes for nonpayment of the Interest Payment would also be considered an event of default under the senior secured credit facility, which could lead to an acceleration of amounts due under the facility. Further, if the trustee for the 2023 Notes should exercise its right to accelerate the maturity of the full balance owed on the 2023 Notes as a result of such an event of default, that would also constitute an event of default under the 4.60% senior unsecured notes due 2024 and the 5.95% senior notes due 2026, which could lead to the acceleration of all amounts due under those notes.  We have elected to enter the 30-day grace period with respect to the Interest Payment in order to advance discussions with the lenders and explore alternative strategies. We could prevent an event of default if we paid the Interest Payment prior to the expiration of the 30-day grace period or if we reached an alternative arrangement with the holders of the 2023 Notes.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments related to the recoverability of assets and satisfaction of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Given the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the retail and broader markets, the ongoing weakness of the credit markets and significant uncertainties associated with each of these matters, we believe that there is substantial doubt that we will continue to operate as a going concern within one year after the date our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2020 are issued.

O ur common stock could be delisted from the NYSE if we fail to meet applicable continued listing requirements, which could have materially adverse effects on our business.

On February 5, 2020, we received notice from the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") that our common stock is no material changeslonger in compliance with NYSE continued listing criteria set forth in Section 802.01C of the Listed Company Manual of the NYSE, which require listed companies to suchrisk factors sincemaintain an average closing share price of at least $1.00 over a period of 30 consecutive trading days. We have until October 14, 2020, inclusive of extensions of the filingcure period provided by the NYSE in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, to regain compliance with the continued listing criteria. During this period, we expect our common stock to continue to trade on the NYSE, subject to the additional considerations discussed below, which will allow for flexibility in addressing this matter. On May 7, 2020, our shareholders voted to approve an amendment to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, to effect a reverse stock split at a ratio between 1-for-5 and 1-for-25, and a proportionate reduction in the number of authorized shares of common stock, to be determined at the discretion of the board of directors for the purpose of complying with NYSE Listing Standards, subject to the board of directors’ discretion to abandon this amendment. Our board of directors has not yet taken action to effect the reverse stock split. We intend to actively evaluate and monitor the price of our Annual Report.common stock between now and October 2020.

Our common stock could also be delisted if (i) our average market capitalization over a consecutive 30 trading-day period is less than $15 million, or (ii ) our commo n stoc k trade s a t a n “abnormall y lowprice .. I n eithe r case , our commo n stoc k woul d b e suspende d fro m tradin g o n th e NYSE immediately , an d th e NYS E woul d begi n th e proces s t o delis t ourcommo n stock , subjec t t o ourrigh t t o appea l unde r NYS E rules .. I f thi s wer e to occur , ther e i s n o assuranc e tha t an y appea l we undertak e i n thes e o r othe r circumstance s woul d b e successful , no r i s ther e an y assuranc e tha t we will continue to comply with the other NYSE continued listing standards. However, effective on March 20, 2020, the SEC granted the NYSE temporary relief until June 30, 2020 regarding the $15 million 30 trading day average minimum market cap threshold standard.

The threat of delisting and/or a delisting of our common stock could have adverse effects by, among other things:

Reducing the liquidity and market price of our common stock;

reducing the number of investors willing to hold or acquire our common stock, thereby further restricting our ability to obtain equity financing;

causing an event of default or noncompliance under certain of our debt facilities and other agreements; and

reducing our ability to retain, attract and motivate our directors, officers and employees.

As a result of the cumulative, unpaid dividends on our preferred stock we are no longer eligible to register the offer and sale of securities on SEC Form S-3, which will impair our capital raising activities and could result in the Company being required to repurchase a limited number of shares sold under our DRIP.

We are no longer eligible to use SEC Form S-3 to register offers and sales of our securities under the Securities Act, as a result of the existing dividend arrearage on our preferred stock, which will continue to accumulate following our board of directors’ decision in December 2019 to suspend such dividends. Historically, we have relied on shelf registration statements on Form S-3 for our public capital raising transactions, and also to register the offer and sale of shares of common stock under our DRIP. Our inability to use Form S-3 may harm our ability to raise capital in the future, as we will be required to use a registration statement on Form S-1 to register securities with the SEC, which may be expected to hinder our ability to act quickly in raising capital to take advantage of market conditions and to increase our cost of raising capital.  Further, we inadvertently failed to suspend small monthly “cash option” investments in common stock under our DRIP during the months of March, April and May 2020, and as a result of this oversight, we issued a total of 6,134 shares of common stock that were not registered under the Securities Act for aggregate consideration of $1,346.94. The purchasers of these shares, issued pursuant to our DRIP when we were not eligible to issue shares on Form S-3, could bring claims against us for rescission and other damages under federal or state securities laws

None.Cash Option Investments Under DRIP Plan

While we had previously suspended quarterly dividend payments on our common stock during 2019, a very small amount of monthly “cash option” investments in shares have continued pursuant to the terms of the Company’s DRIP. Due in part to impacts on the Company’s operations and staffing resulting from ongoing efforts to address the COVID-19 pandemic, we inadvertently failed to suspend the operation of these “cash option” investments during the months of March, April and May 2020, after we lost the ability to use the Form S-3 registration statement for the DRIP due to the existing dividend arrearage with respect to our preferred stock. We have now fully suspended the operation of our DRIP, including the cash option feature but, as a result of this oversight, we issued a total of 6,134 shares of common stock that were not registered under the Securities Act for aggregate consideration of $1,346.94 prior to such suspension. The purchasers of these shares, issued pursuant to our DRIP when we were not eligible to issue shares on Form S-3, could bring claims against us for rescission and other damages under federal or state securities laws.

Operating Partnership Units

There is no established public trading market for the Operating Partnership’s common units and they are not registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Each limited partner in the Operating Partnership has the right to exchange all or a portion of its common units for shares of the Company’s common stock, or at the Company’s election, their cash equivalent. In March 2020, the Company issued 16,333,947 shares of the Company’s common stock in response to exchange notices received covering a like number of common units of limited partnership in the Operating Partnership. The Company believes that the issuance of these shares was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act because it did not involve a public offering or sale. No underwriters, brokers or finders were involved in these transactions.

ITEM 3:    Defaults Upon Senior Securities

None. 

Dividends on the Series D and the Series E preferred stock are cumulative and therefore will continue to accrue at an annual rate of $18.4375 per share and $16.5625 per share, respectively. As of March 31, 2020, the cumulative amount of unpaid dividends on the preferred stock totaled $22.4 million.

Distributions on the Series K, L and S special common units are cumulative and therefore will continue to accrue at an annual rate of $2.96875 per unit, $3.0288 per unit and $2.92875 per unit, respectively. As of March 31, 2020, the cumulative amount of unpaid distributions on the special common units totaled $4.8 million.
