EXPLANATORY NOTE

This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the period ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2016 of Brixmor Property Group Inc. and Brixmor Operating Partnership LP. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to the “Parent Company” or “BPG” mean Brixmor Property Group Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries; and references to the “Operating Partnership” mean Brixmor Operating Partnership LP and its consolidated subsidiaries. The terms the “Company,” “Brixmor,” “we,” “our” and “us” mean the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, collectively.

The Parent Company is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) which owns 100% of the common stock of BPG Subsidiary Inc. (“BPG Sub”), which, in turn, is the sole owner of Brixmor OP GP LLC, or the General Partner, the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2016, the Parent Company beneficially owned, through its direct and indirect interest in BPG Sub and the General Partner, approximately ~~98.2%~~98.8% of the outstanding partnership common units of interest (the “OP Units”) in the Operating Partnership. Certain investments funds affiliated with The Blackstone Group L.P. and certain current and former members of the Company’s management collectively owned the remaining ~~1.8%~~1.2% interest in the Operating Partnership.

The Company believes combining the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership into this single report provides the following benefits:

Enhances investors’ understanding of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business;

Eliminates duplicative disclosure and provides a more streamlined and readable presentation; and

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

Management operates the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership as one business. The management of the Parent Company consists of the same individuals as the management of the Operating Partnership. These individuals are officers of both the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership.

We believe it is important to understand the few differences between the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership in the context of how the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership operate as a consolidated company. The Parent Company is a REIT, whose only material asset is its indirect interest in the Operating Partnership. As a result, the Parent Company does not conduct business itself other than issuing public equity from time to time. The Parent Company does not incur any material indebtedness. The Operating Partnership holds substantially all of our assets. Except for net proceeds from public equity issuances by the Parent Company, which are contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for OP Units, the Operating Partnership generates all remaining capital required by the Company’s business. Sources of this capital include the Operating Partnership’s operations, its direct or indirect incurrence of indebtedness, and the issuance of OP Units.

Stockholders’ equity, partners’ capital, and non-controlling interests are the primary areas of difference between the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Parent Company and those of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership’s capital includes OP Units owned by the Parent Company through BPG Sub and the General Partner as well as OP Units owned by certain investments funds affiliated with The Blackstone Group L.P. and certain current and former members of the our management. OP Units owned by third parties are accounted for in partners’ capital in the Operating Partnership’s financial statements and outside of stockholders’ equity in non-controlling interests in the Parent Company’s financial statements.

In order to highlight the differences between the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, there are sections in this report that separately discuss the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, including separate financial statements (but combined footnotes), separate controls and procedures sections, separate certification of periodic report under Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and separate certification pursuant to 18 U.S.C Section 1350 as adopted pursuant to Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. In the sections that combine disclosure for the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, this report refers to actions or holdings as being actions or holdings of the Company.

The Parent Company consolidates the Operating Partnership for financial reporting purposes, and the Parent Company does not have material assets other than its indirect investment in the Operating Partnership. Therefore, while stockholders’ equity and partners’ capital differ as discussed above, the assets and liabilities of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership are materially the same on their respective financial statements.

1. Nature of Business and Financial Statement Presentation

Description of Business

Brixmor Property Group Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Parent Company”) is an internally-managed REIT.

The Parent Company engages in the ownership, management, leasing, acquisition and development of retail shopping centers through the Operating Partnership, and has no other substantial assets or liabilities other than through its investment in the Operating Partnership. The Parent Company, the Operating Partnership and their controlled subsidiaries on a consolidated basis (collectively the “Company” or “Brixmor”) believes it owns and operates the second largest ~~wholly-owned~~open air retail portfolio in the United States, comprised primarily of ~~grocery-anchored~~ community and neighborhood shopping ~~centers in the United States.~~centers.

The Company does not distinguish its principal business or group its operations on a geographical basis for purposes of measuring performance. Accordingly, the Company believes it has a single reportable segment for disclosure purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

Basis of Presentation

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Parent Company, the Operating Partnership, each of their wholly owned subsidiaries and all other entities in which they have a controlling financial interest. The portions of consolidated entities not owned by the Company are presented as non-controlling interests as of and during the periods presented. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

Subsequent Events

In preparing the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company has evaluated events and transactions occurring after ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2016 for recognition or disclosure purposes. Based on this evaluation, there were no subsequent events from ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2016 through the date the financial statements were issued, except as follows.

On April 12, 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors appointed James M. Taylor to serve as the Company’s new Chief Executive Officer and President, effective May 20, 2016. Mr. Taylor will succeed Daniel B. Hurwitz, who has served as the Company’s interim Chief Executive Officer and President since February 2016. Mr. Hurwitz will continue to serve as a member of the Company's Board of Directors. On AprilJuly 25, 2016, the ~~Company's Board of Directors appointed Angela Aman to serve~~Operating Partnership entered into an Amended and Restated Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement (the “Amended Credit Facility”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Agent”), and the lenders party thereto as set forth in the Amended Credit Facility. The Amended Credit Facility amends and restates the Company's ~~new Chief Financial Officer, effective May 20,~~$2.75 billion Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement, dated as of July 16, 2013, as amended (the “Unsecured Credit Facility”).

subject to customary conditions and the payment of a fee on the extended commitments of 0.075%. The Amended Credit Facility includes the option to increase the revolving loan commitments by, or add term loans in an amount, up to $1.0 billion in the aggregate to the extent that any one or more lenders (from the syndicate or otherwise) agree to provide such additional credit extensions. As of July 25, 2016, there were no amounts drawn under the Revolving Facility.

Borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility will bear interest, at the Operating Partnership’s option, (1) with respect to the Revolving Facility, at a rate of either LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 0.875% to 1.55% or a base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.00% to 0.55% , in each case, with the actual margin determined according to the Operating Partnership’s credit rating and (2) with respect to each of the Tranche A Term Loan and Tranche B Term Loan, at a rate of either LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 0.90% to 1.75% or the base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.00% to 0.75%, in each case, with the actual margin determined according to the Operating Partnership’s credit rating. The base rate is the highest of the Agent’s prime rate, the federal funds rate plus 0.50% and the daily one-month LIBOR plus 1.00%. In addition, the Amended Credit Facility requires the payment of a facility fee ranging from 0.125% to 0.30% (depending on the Operating Partnership’s credit rating) on the total commitments under the Revolving Facility. For more information, see Item 5 of Part II of this Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. ~~Ms. Aman will succeed Barry Lefkowitz, who has served~~

Additionally, on July 25, 2016, the Operating Partnership entered into Amendment No. 2 to Term Loan Agreement (“Term Loan Second Amendment”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto. The Term Loan Second Amendment amends the Company's ~~interim Chief Financial Officer since February~~$600.0 million Term Loan Agreement, dated as of March 18, 2014, as amended (the “Existing Term Loan Agreement”). The Term Loan Second Amendment does not change any of the maturity or pricing terms of the Existing Term Loan Agreement, but otherwise implements various covenant and technical amendments to make the Existing Term Loan Agreement consistent with amendments made to corresponding provisions of the Unsecured Credit Facility pursuant to the Amended Credit Facility. For more information, see Item 5 of Part II of this Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2016.

Income Taxes

The Parent Company has elected to qualify as a REIT in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as ~~amended(the~~amended (the “Code”). To qualify as a REIT, the Parent Company must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that it currently distribute at least 90% of its adjusted REIT taxable income to its stockholders. It is management’s intention to adhere to these requirements and maintain the Parent Company’s REIT status.

As a REIT, the Parent Company generally will not be subject to federal income tax, provided that distributions to its stockholders equal at least the amount of its REIT taxable income as defined under the Code. If the Parent Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to federal taxes at regular corporate rates (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent taxable years. The Operating Partnership is organized as a limited partnership and is generally not subject to federal or state income taxes.

BPG Sub also has elected to qualify as a REIT under the Code and is subject to the same tax requirements and tax treatment as the Parent Company. BPG Sub has a taxable REIT subsidiary, and the Parent Company and BPG Sub may in the future elect to treat newly formed subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries which would be subject to income tax. Taxable REIT subsidiaries may participate in non-real estate-related activities and/or perform non-customary services for tenants and are subject to United States federal and state income tax at regular corporate tax rates.

The Company has analyzed the tax position taken on income tax returns for the open 2013 through 2015 tax years and has concluded that no provision for income taxes related to uncertain tax positions is required in the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2016-09, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718)." ASU 2016-09 sets out improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The new standard impacts certain aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statements of cash flows. The standard is effective on January 1, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently in the

process of evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2016-09 will have on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)." ASU 2016-02 sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e., lessees and lessors). The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases today. The new standard requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing guidance for sales-type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases. The standard is effective on January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02 “Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis to ASC Topic 810 Consolidation.” ASU 2015-02 updates to include all reporting entities within the scope of Subtopic 810-10 Consolidation - Overall, including limited partnerships and similar legal entities, unless a scope exception applies. Overall the amendments in this update are to simplify the codification and reduce the number of consolidation models and place more emphasis on risk of loss when determining controlling financial interests. ASU 2015-02 iswas effective for public businesses for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. This ASU iswas effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of the year ended December 31, 2016. The Company has evaluated the impact of the adoption of ASU 2015-02 on its unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and have determined under ASU 2015-02 the Operating Partnership is considered a variable interest entity (“VIE”). The Parent Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE and the Parent Company’s partnership interest is considered a majority voting interest. As such, this standard did not have a material impact on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” ASU No. 2014-09 contains a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The guidance in ASU No. 2014-09 affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. For public entities, ASU No. 2014-09, as amended by ASU No. 2015-14, is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early ~~application~~adoption is permitted for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU No. 2014-09 will have on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company.

Any other recently issued accounting standards or pronouncements not disclosed above have been excluded as they either are not relevant to the Company, or they are not expected to have a material effect on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company.

2. Acquisition of Real Estate

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company did not acquire any properties.

In addition the Company acquired the following outparcel buildings and land parcels adjacent to existing Company owned shopping centers in connection with its repositioning activities at those centers: (i) during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, two land parcels and one outparcel building for an aggregate purchase price of $1.2 million; (ii) during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, two outparcel buildings for an aggregate purchase price of $2.1 million. These amounts are included in Improvements to and investments in real estate assets on the unaudited Condensed Company's Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

The real estate operations acquired were not considered material to the Company, individually or in the aggregate, and therefore pro forma financial information is not necessary.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company incurred $0.2 million and $1.5 million of acquisition related expenses, respectively. These amounts are included in Other in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

3. Disposals, Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale

During the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2016, the Company ~~did not dispose~~disposed of ~~any~~two shopping ~~centers.~~centers and one outparcel building for net proceeds of $20.5 million resulting in a gain of $7.8 million. The Company had no properties held for sale as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2016 or December 31, 2015.

The impairment charge was based upon the sales price in the signed contract with the third party buyer, adjusted to reflect associated disposition costs. These inputs are classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The results of operations from the disposed shopping ~~center~~centers are included in income from continuing operations.

There were no discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 as none of the disposals represented a strategic shift in the Company's business that would qualify as discontinued operations.

3.4. Real Estate

The Company’s components of Real estate, net consisted of the following:

⁽¹⁾

At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, Lease intangibles consisted of the following: (i) ~~$786.9~~$779.5 million and $796.8 million, respectively, of in-place lease value, (ii) ~~$79.7~~$79.0 million and $80.8 million, respectively, of above-market leases, and (iii) ~~$615.9~~$625.2 million and $606.5 million, respectively, of accumulated amortization. These intangible assets are amortized over the term of each related lease.

In addition, at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had intangible liabilities relating to below-market leases of ~~$500.7~~$496.6 million and $505.8 million, respectively, and accumulated amortization of ~~$245.3~~$252.8 million and $237.2 million, respectively. These intangible liabilities, which are included in Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities in the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, are accreted over the term of each related lease, including any renewal periods that isare considered to be below market.

Net above and below market lease intangible accretion income for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2016 and 2015 was ~~$11.0~~$9.1 million and ~~$13.5~~$10.9 million, respectively. Net above and below market lease intangible accretion income for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was $20.1 million and $24.4 million, respectively. These amounts are included in Rental income in the Company's unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Amortization expense associated with in-place lease value for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was $15.1 million and $22.1 million, respectively. Amortization expense associated with ~~tenant relationships and leases in place~~in-place lease value for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2016 and 2015 was ~~$18.1~~$33.2 million and ~~$25.1~~$47.2 million, respectively.

On a continuous basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators, including property operating performance and general market conditions, that the value of the Company’s assets (including any related amortizable intangible assets or liabilities) may be impaired. To the extent impairment has occurred, the carrying value of the asset would be adjusted to an amount to reflect the estimated fair value of the asset.

~~During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company acquired two land parcels and one outparcel in or adjacent to existing shopping centers~~ See Note 3 for information regarding impairment charges taken in connection with ~~its repositioning activities at those centers for an aggregate purchase price~~the disposal of ~~$1.2 million. These amounts are included in Improvements to and investments in real estate assets on the Company's unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.~~certain properties.

4.5. Financial Instruments - Derivatives and Hedging

The Company’s use of derivative instruments is limited to the utilization of interest rate agreements or other instruments to manage interest rate risk exposures and not for speculative purposes. In certain situations, the Company may enter into derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swap and interest rate cap agreements to manage interest rate risk exposure arising from variable rate debt transactions that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. The Company’s objective in using interest rate derivatives is to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to changes in benchmark interest rates. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without changing the underlying notional amount. During the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company did not enter into any new interest rate swap agreements.

A detail of the Company’s interest rate derivatives designated as cash flow hedges outstanding as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2016 is as follows:



	Number of Instruments	Notional Amount
Interest Rate Swaps	5	$	1,500,000

The Company has elected to present its interest rate derivatives on its unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets on a gross basis as interest rate swap assets and interest rate swap liabilities. A detail of the Company’s fair value of interest rate derivatives on a gross and net basis as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, is as follows:


	Fair Value of Derivative Instruments						Fair Value of Derivative Instruments
Interest rate swaps classified as:	March 31, 2016			December 31, 2015			June 30, 2016			December 31, 2015
Gross derivative assets	$	—		$	—		$	—		$	—
Gross derivative liabilities	(2,480		)	(2,437		)	(1,345		)	(2,437		)
Net derivative liability	$	(2,480	)	$	(2,437	)	$	(1,345	)	$	(2,437	)

The gross derivative liabilities are included in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. All of the Company’s outstanding interest rate swap agreements for the periods presented were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk. The fair value of the Company's interest rate derivatives is determined using market standard valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. These inputs are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as, and that qualify as, cash flow hedges is recorded in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and is reclassified into earnings as interest expense in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings.

The effective portion of the Company's interest rate swaps that was recorded in the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2016 and 2015 is as follows:


Derivatives in Cash Flow Hedging Relationships (Interest Rate Swaps and Caps)	Three Months Ended March 31,						Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2016			2015			2016			2015			2016			2015
Unrealized loss on interest rate hedges	$	(1,529	)	$	(4,901	)	$	(254	)	$	(1,772	)	$	(1,783	)	$	(6,673	)
Amortization of interest rate swaps to interest expense	$	1,486		$	2,464		$	1,389		$	2,490		$	2,875		$	4,954

The Company estimates that approximately ~~$2.5~~$1.3 million will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss as an increase to interest expense through the expiration of the Company's interest rate swaps on October 1, 2016.

No gain or loss was recognized related to hedge ineffectiveness or to amounts excluded from effectiveness testing on the Company’s cash flow hedges during the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2016 and 2015.

Non-Designated (Mark-to Market) Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

The Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company did not have any material non-designated hedges.

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features

The Company has agreements with its derivative counterparties that contain a provision whereby if the Company defaults on any of its indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations. If the Company were to breach any of the contractual provisions of the derivative contracts, it would be required to settle its obligations under the agreements at their termination value including accrued interest, or approximately ~~$2.9~~$1.8 million.

5.6. Debt Obligations

As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had the following indebtedness outstanding:

2016 Debt Transactions

In June 2016, the Operating Partnership issued $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.125% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”), the proceeds of which were utilized to repay outstanding indebtedness, including borrowings under the Company's $1.25 billion unsecured revolving credit facility, and for general corporate purposes. The 2026 Notes bear interest at a rate of 4.125% per annum, payable semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing December 15, 2016. The 2026 Notes will mature on June 15, 2026. The 2026 Notes are the Operating Partnership’s unsecured and unsubordinated obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of the Operating Partnership’s existing and future senior unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The Operating Partnership may

redeem the 2026 Notes at any time in whole or from time to time in part at the applicable make-whole redemption price specified in the Indenture with respect to the 2026 Notes. If the 2026 Notes are redeemed on or after March 15, 2026 (three months prior to the maturity date), the redemption price will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2026 Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company repaid $168.4 million of secured loans, resulting in a $0.1 million net gain on extinguishment of debt. These repayments were funded primarily from borrowings under the Company’s $1.25 billion unsecured revolving credit facility.

See Note 1 for information about the July 2016 amendment to the Unsecured Credit Facility and the Existing Term Loan Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of ~~an unsecured $600.0 million term loan (the “Term Loan”), a $2.75 billion senior unsecured credit facility (the “Unsecured~~the Existing Term Loan Agreement, the Unsecured Credit ~~Facility”) and~~Facility, the 2022 Notes, the 2025 Notes and the ~~2025~~2026 Notes, the Company among other things is subject to maintenance of various financial covenants.

As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, a fair value hierarchy is included in GAAP that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs that are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy).

In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of

the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

The valuation methodology used to estimate the fair value of the Company’s debt obligations is based on discounted cash flows, with assumptions that include credit spreads, loan amounts and debt maturities. The Company determined that the valuations of its debt obligations are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Such fair value estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that would be realized upon disposition.

The Company’s marketable securities and interest rate derivatives are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The fair value of marketable securities are based primarily on publicly traded market values in active markets and are classified accordingly on the fair value hierarchy. See Note 45 for fair value information regarding the Company's interest rate derivatives.

The following table presents the placement in the fair value hierarchy of assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

7.8. Equity and Capital

ATM

In 2015, the Parent Company entered into an at-the-market equity offering program (“ATM”) through which the Parent Company may sell from time to time up to an aggregate of $400.0 million of its common stock through sales agents over a three-year period. There were no shares issued under the ATM for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2016 and the year ended December 31, 2015. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2016 $400.0 million of common stock remained available for issuance under the ATM.

Common Stock

During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company ~~repurchased 47,444~~withheld 122,768 shares and 12,754 shares respectively, in connection with common shares surrendered to the Company to satisfy statutory minimum tax withholding obligations on the vesting of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) under the Company’s equity-based compensation plans.

Dividends and Distributions

During the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company declared common stock dividends and OP unit distributions of $0.245 per share/unit and $0.225 per share/unit, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company declared common stock dividends and OP unit distributions of $0.49 per share/unit and $0.45 per share/unit, respectively. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had declared but unpaid common stock dividends and OP unit distributions of ~~$75.3~~$75.5 million and $76.0 million, respectively. These amounts are included in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Company's unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Non-controlling interests

The non-controlling interests presented in these unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements relate to portions of consolidated subsidiaries held by the non-controlling interest holders.

As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2016, the Parent Company beneficially owned, through its direct and indirect interest in BPG Sub and the General Partner, ~~98.2%~~98.8% of the outstanding ~~partnership common units of interest in the Operating Partnership (“~~OP ~~Units”).~~Units. Certain ~~investments~~investment funds affiliated with The Blackstone Group L.P. (together with such affiliated funds, “Blackstone”) and certain members of the Parent Company’s current and former management collectively owned the

remaining ~~1.8%~~1.2% of the outstanding OP Units. Holders of OP Units (other than the Parent Company, BPG Sub and the General Partner) may redeem their OP Units for cash based upon the market value of an equivalent number of shares of the Parent Company’s common stock or, at the Parent Company’s election, exchange their OP Units for shares of the Parent Company’s common stock on a one-for-one basis subject to customary conversion rate adjustments for splits, unit distributions and reclassifications. The number of OP Units in the Operating Partnership beneficially owned by the Parent Company is equivalent to the number of outstanding shares of the Parent Company’s common stock, and the entitlement of all OP Units to quarterly distributions and payments in liquidation is substantially the same as those of the Parent Company’s common stockholders.

8.9. Stock Based Compensation

In 2011 and 2013 prior to the ~~IPO,~~Company's Initial Public Offering (the "IPO"), certain employees of the Company were granted long-term incentive awards which provided them with equity interests as an incentive to remain in the Company’s service and align executives’ interests with those of the Company’s equity holders. The awards were granted to such employees by the ~~Partnerships,~~certain partnerships affiliated with Blackstone (the "Partnerships"), in the form of Class B Units in each of the Partnerships. The awards were granted with service and performance conditions. A portion of the Class B Units were subject to performance conditions which vested on the date that certain funds affiliated with certain of the Company’s pre-IPO owners received cash proceeds resulting in a 15% internal rate of return on their investment in the Company. In connection with the IPO, certain of these awards vested and the vested awards were exchanged for a combination of vested common shares of the Company and vested shares of BPG ~~Sub.~~Sub which were subsequently converted to vested common shares of the Company. The remaining unvested Class B Units as of the IPO effective date were exchanged for a combination of unvested restricted common shares of the Company and unvested restricted common shares of BPG Sub, (collectively, the “RSAs”). which were subsequently converted to unvested restricted common shares of the Company. The RSAs were subject to the same vesting terms as those applicable to the exchanged Class B Units.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Board of Directors approved the 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan provides for a maximum of 15.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock to be issued for qualified and non-qualified options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and restricted stock units, OP Units, ~~in the Operating Partnership,~~ performance awards and other stock-based awards.

During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2016, ~~and~~the Company granted RSUs in the Company to certain employees. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company granted RSUs in the Company to certain employees, or at the election of certain employees, long-term incentive plan units (“LTIP Units”) in the Operating Partnership. The RSUs and LTIP Units are divided into multiple tranches, with each tranche subject to separate performance-based vesting conditions, market-based vesting conditions and service-based vesting conditions. Each award contains a threshold, target, and maximum number of units in respect to each tranche. The number of units actually earned for each tranche is determined based on performance during a specified performance period, and the earned units are then further subject to time-based vesting conditions. The aggregate number of RSUs and LTIP Units granted, assuming that the target level of performance is achieved, was ~~0.4~~0.8 million and 0.7 million for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2016 and year ended December 31, 2015, respectively, with service periods ranging from one to five years.

During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2016, the Company reversed $2.6 million of previously recognized equity compensation expense as a result of forfeitures and recognized $2.7 million of expense associated with the accelerated issuance of shares, both in connection with the ~~resignation~~separation of several Company executives. During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015, as a result of ~~certain of~~it becoming probable that the Company’s pre-IPO owners ~~receiving~~would receive a 15% internal rate of return on their investment, ~~becoming probable,~~ the Company recognized $9.9 million of equity based compensation expense as a component of General and administrative expense in the Company's unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company recognized ~~($1.6)~~$6.2 million and ~~$12.9~~$2.6 million of equity based compensation ~~(benefit)/~~expense for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company recognized $4.6 million and $15.5 million of equity based compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2016, the Company had ~~$14.7~~$17.9 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock compensation expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately ~~2.3~~2.2 years.

9.10. Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net income attributable to the Company’s common stockholders, including participating securities, by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. Certain restricted shares issued pursuant to the Company’s share-based compensation program are considered participating securities, as such shares have rights to receive non-forfeitable dividends. Unvested restricted shares are not allocated net losses and/or any excess of dividends declared over net income, as such amounts are allocated entirely to the common stockholders. Fully-diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into shares of common stock.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the EPS calculations for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2016 and 2015:

Legal Matters

Except as described below, the Company is not presently involved in any material litigation arising outside the ordinary course of business. However, the Company is involved in routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of business, none of which the Company believes, individually or in the aggregate, taking into account existing reserves, will have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows, or financial position.

On February 8, 2016, the Company issued a press release and filed a Form 8-K reporting the completion of a review by the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors that began after the Company received information in late December 2015 through its established compliance processes. The Audit Committee review led the Board of Directors to conclude that specific Company accounting and financial reporting personnel, in certain instances, were smoothing income items, both up and down, between reporting periods in an effort to achieve consistent quarterly same property net operating income growth.

As a result of the Audit Committee review and the conclusions reached by the Board of Directors, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, its President and Chief Financial Officer, its Treasurer and Chief Accounting Officer, and an accounting employee all resigned. Following these resignations the Company appointed a new Interim Chief Executive Officer and President, Interim Chief Financial Officer and Interim Chief Accounting Officer. A new Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer were appointed effective May 20, 2016.

Prior to the Company’s February 8, 2016 announcement, the Company voluntarily reported to the SEC the matters described above. The SEC has commenced an investigation with respect to these matters, and the Company is cooperating fully.

On March 31, 2016, the Company and the former officers referenced above were named as defendants in a putative securities class action complaint filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Court”). The complaint, captioned Westchester Putnam Counties Heavy & Highway Laborers Local 60 Benefit Funds v. Brixmor Property Group Inc., et al. (Case No. 16-CV-02400 (AT)), asserts violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 based on the facts described in the Company’s February 8, 2016 press release and Form 8-K. ~~Additional securities class action complaints alleging~~Pursuant to a stipulation between the ~~same or similar facts may be filed in~~parties, plaintiffs will file a consolidated amended complaint within sixty days after the ~~near future,~~Court appoints a lead plaintiff and ~~the Company expects that all such cases will be consolidated with the existing action~~lead counsel pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company believes it has valid defenses in this action and intends to vigorously defend itself.

Leasing commitments

The Company periodically enters into ground leases for neighborhood and community shopping centers which it operates and enters into office leases for administrative space. During the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company recognized rent expense associated with these leases of ~~$1.9~~$2.7 million and $2.5 million, respectively.

Executive Summary

Our high quality national portfolio is diversified by geography, tenancy and retail format, and our shopping centers are primarily anchored by market-leading ~~grocers.~~grocers, value-oriented retailers and service and entertainment users. The Parent Company has been organized and operated in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the United States federal income tax laws, commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2011, and has maintained such requirements for our taxable year ended December 31, 2015, and expects to satisfy such requirements for subsequent taxable years.

Our primary objective is to maximize total returns to BPG’s stockholders through a combination of income growth and value-creation at the asset ~~level supported by stable cash flows.~~level. We seek to achieve this through ownership of a large, high quality, diversified portfolio of ~~primarily grocery-anchored community and neighborhood~~open air shopping centers and by creating meaningful NOI growth from this portfolio. We expect that the major drivers of this growth will be a combination of positive rent spreads from below-market in-place ~~rents~~leases and above average lease rollover, occupancy increases, annual contractual rent increases across the portfolio and the execution of embedded anchor space repositioning, / redevelopment opportunities /and outparcel development opportunities.

We expect the following set of core competencies to position us to execute on our growth strategies:

Embedded Anchor Space Repositioning, / Redevelopment /and Outparcel Development Expertise - We have been a top redeveloper over the past decade, according to Chain Store Age magazine, having completed anchor space repositioning, / redevelopment /and outparcel development projects totaling over $1$1.2 billion since January 1, 2003.

Expansive Retailer Relationships - We believe that given the scale of our asset base and our nationwide footprint, we have a competitive advantage in supporting the growth plans of the nation’s largest retailers. We believe that we are the largest landlord by gross leasable area (“GLA”) to Kroger and TJX Companies, as well as a key landlord to ~~all~~ major grocers and most major retail category leaders. We believe that our strong relationships with leading retailers affords us insight into their strategies and priority access to their expansion plans, enabling us to efficiently provide these retailers with space in multiple locations.

Fully-Integrated Operating Platform - We operate with a fully-integrated, comprehensive platform, ~~both~~ leveraging our national presence and demonstrating our commitment to a regional and local presence. We provide our tenants with personalized service through our network of three regional offices in Atlanta, Chicago and Philadelphia, as well as via 12 leasing and property management satellite offices throughout the country. We believe that this strategy enables us to obtain critical market intelligence and to benefit from the regional and local expertise of our workforce.

Experienced Management - Senior members of our management team are experienced real estate operators with deep industry expertise and retailer relationships.

Recent Developments

For a discussion of recent events related to a review conducted by our Audit Committee, related management changes, and the risks related thereto, see Item 1 “Business-Recent Developments,” Item 1A “Risk Factors-Risks Related to Recent Events,” and Item 9A “Controls and Procedures” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.

Other Factors That May Influence our Future Results

We derive our revenues primarily from rents (including percentage rents based on ~~tenants’~~ sales ~~levels)~~levels of certain of our tenants) and expense reimbursements due to us from tenants under existing leases at each of our properties. Expense reimbursements primarily consist of payments made by tenants to us under contractual lease obligations for their proportional share of the property’s operating expenses, insurance and real estate taxes and certain capital expenditures related to maintenance of the properties.

The amount of rental income and expense reimbursements we receive is primarily dependent on our ability to maintain or increase rental rates and on our ability to lease available space, including renewing expiring leases. Factors that could affect our rental income include: (1) changes in national, regional or local economic climates; (2) local conditions, including an oversupply of space in, or a reduction in demand for, properties similar to those in our Portfolio; (3) the attractiveness of properties in our Portfolio to our tenants; (4) the financial stability of tenants, including the ability of tenants to pay rents and expense reimbursements; (5) in the case of percentage rents, sales volume of our ~~tenants’ sales volumes;~~tenants; (6) competition from other available properties; (7) changes in market rental rates; and (8) changes in the regional demographics of our properties.

Our operating costs include property-related costs, including repairs and maintenance, ~~roof repair,~~ landscaping, ~~parking lot repair,~~ snow removal, utilities, property insurance costs, security, ground rent expense related to ground lease payments for which we are the lessee and various other property related costs. Increases in our operating expenses, to the extent they are not offset by revenue increases, impact our overall performance. For a further discussion of these and other factors that could impact our future results, performance or transactions, see Item ~~1A.~~1A “Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.

Operating Activities

Cash and cash equivalents for the Parent Company were ~~$105.8~~$114.3 million and ~~$68.2~~$42.7 million as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Cash and cash equivalents for the Operating Partnership were ~~$105.8~~$114.2 million and ~~$68.1~~$42.7 million as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2016 and 2015 respectively.

For the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2016, the Company’s net cash flow provided by operating activities ~~increased $1.1~~decreased $0.9 million as compared to the corresponding period in 2015. The ~~increase~~decrease is primarily due to (i) an increase in net operating income, and (ii) a decrease in interest expense due to a decrease in the weighted average interest rate on outstanding indebtedness, partially offset by (iii) an increase in general and administrative expense due to expenses associated with the Audit Committee review and (iv) a decrease in working capital due to a decrease in accounts payable accrued expenses and other liabilities due to timing of payments and (ii) an increase cash outflows for general and administrative expense due to expenses associated with the Audit Committee review and expenses associated with the hiring of certain key executives, partially offset by (iii) an increase in ~~cash flows from restricted cash~~net operating income, and ~~receivables.~~(iv) a decrease in interest expense due to a decrease in the weighted average interest rate on outstanding indebtedness.

Investing Activities

Net cash flow used in investing activities is impacted by the nature, timing and extent of improvements made to our shopping centers, allowances provided to our tenants, and our acquisition and disposition programs. Capital used to fund these activities, and the source thereof, can vary significantly from period to period based on, for example, negotiations with tenants and their willingness to pay higher base rents over the terms of their respective leases as well as the availability of operating cash flows. Net cash flow used in investing activities is also impacted by the level of recurring property capital expenditures in a given period.

For the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2016, the Company’s net cash flow used in investing activities ~~increased $5.2~~decreased $37.8 million as compared to the corresponding period in 2015. The ~~increase~~decrease was primarily due to (i) a decrease of ~~$9.9~~$52.3 million in ~~proceeds from sales~~acquisitions of real estate assets ~~partially offset by~~and (ii) a decrease of ~~$4.1~~$14.2 million in improvements to and investments in real estate assets, ~~and~~partially offset by (iii) a decrease of ~~$1.0~~$21.3 million in ~~restricted cash attributable to investing activities.~~proceeds from sales of real estate assets and (iv) an increase of $7.7 million in purchases of marketable securities, net of sales.

Improvements to and investments in real estate assets

During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company expended ~~$36.3~~$83.6 million and ~~$40.4~~$97.9 million, respectively, on improvements to and investments in real estate assets.

Recurring capital expenditures ~~are~~represent costs to maintain properties and their common areas including new roofs and paving of parking lots. Recurring capital expenditures per square foot for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2016 and 2015, were ~~$0.01~~$0.05 and ~~$0.03,~~$0.10, respectively.

In addition to recurring capital expenditures, we evaluate our Portfolio on an ongoing basis to identify value-creating anchor space repositioning, / redevelopment opportunities /and outparcel development opportunities. These efforts are tenant-driven and focus on renovating, re-tenanting and repositioning assets. Such initiatives are focused on upgrading our centers with strong, best-in-class anchors and transforming ~~such properties’~~ overall merchandise mix and tenant quality. Potential new projects include value-creation opportunities that have been previously identified within the Portfolio, as well as new opportunities created by the lack of meaningful community and neighborhood shopping center development in the United States. We may occasionally seek to acquire non-owned anchor spaces and outparcels at or adjacent to our shopping centers in order to facilitate redevelopment projects. ~~In addition, as we own a vast majority of our anchor spaces greater than 35,000 sq. ft., we have important operational control over~~

Acquisitions of and proceeds from sales of real estate assets

Although we expect that the major drivers of our growth will come from our existing Portfolio, we will continue to evaluate the market for available properties and may acquire shopping centers when we believe strategic opportunities exist. During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2016, we did not acquire any shopping centers.

We may also dispose of properties when we feel growth has been ~~maximized.~~maximized or the assets are no longer a strategic fit for our portfolio.

Financing Activities

Our net cash flow used in financing activities is impacted by the nature, timing and extent of issuances of debt and equity, principal and other payments associated with our outstanding indebtedness and prevailing market conditions associated with each source of capital.

For the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2016, the Parent Company’s net cash used in financing activities decreased ~~$32.5~~$25.7 million as compared to the corresponding period in 2015. The decrease was primarily due to a ~~$13.6~~$7.9 million net decrease in distributions to stockholders and non-controlling interests and ~~an $18.1~~a $20.3 million decrease in debt repayments, net of ~~borrowings.~~borrowings, partially offset by a $3.1 million increase in the value of common shares withheld by the Company upon vesting of equity awards to satisfy statutory tax withholding obligations.

For the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2016, the Operating Partnership’s net cash used in financing activities decreased ~~$32.4~~$25.6 million as compared to the corresponding period in ~~2014.~~2015. The decrease was primarily due to a ~~$12.3~~$4.7 million decrease in distributions to partners and non-controlling interests and ~~an $18.1~~a $20.3 million decrease in debt repayments, net of borrowings.

We believe our current capital structure provides us with financial flexibility and capacity to fund our current capital needs as well as future growth opportunities. We have an Unsecured Credit Facility consisting of a $1.5 billion term loan and a $1.25 billion revolving credit facility, with a lending group comprised of financial institutions under which we had ~~$794.0 million~~$1.25 billion of undrawn capacity as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2016. On July 25, 2016, the Operating Partnership amended and restated the Unsecured Credit Facility to provide for a $1.0 billion tranche A term loan, a $500.0 million tranche B term loan and a $1.25 billion revolving credit facility, with a lending group comprised of financial institutions under which we had $1.25 billion of undrawn capacity as of July 25, 2016. For more information, see Item 5 of Part II of this Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. We believe we have access to multiple forms of capital, including unsecured corporate level debt, secured ~~mortgage~~loan debt, preferred equity and additional credit facilities. We currently have investment grade credit ratings from all three major credit rating agencies. We intend to continue to enhance our financial and operating flexibility through ongoing commitment to ladder and extend the duration of our debt, and further expand our unencumbered asset ~~pool.~~base.

In June 2016, the Operating Partnership issued $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.125% Senior Notes due 2026, the proceeds of which were utilized to repay outstanding indebtedness, including borrowings under the Company's $1.25 billion unsecured revolving credit facility, and for general corporate purposes. The 2026 Notes bear interest at a rate of 4.125% per annum, payable semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing December 15, 2016. The 2026 Notes will mature on June 15, 2026. The 2026 Notes are the Operating Partnership’s unsecured and unsubordinated obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of the

Operating Partnership’s existing and future senior unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The Operating Partnership may redeem the 2026 Notes at any time in whole or from time to time in part at the applicable make-whole redemption price specified in the Indenture with respect to the 2026 Notes. If the 2026 Notes are redeemed on or after March 15, 2026 (three months prior to the maturity date), the redemption price will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2026 Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date.

In connection with our intention to continue to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we expect to continue paying regular dividends to our stockholders. Our Board of Directors will continue to evaluate the dividend policy on a quarterly basis as the Board of Directors monitors sources of capital and evaluates the impact of the economy and capital markets availability on operating fundamentals. Since cash used to pay dividends reduces amounts available for capital investment, we generally intend to maintain a conservative dividend payout ratio, reserving such amounts as the Board of Directors considers necessary for the expansion and renovation of shopping centers in our portfolio, debt reduction, the acquisition of interests in new properties and other investments as suitable opportunities arise and such other factors as the Board of Directors considers appropriate. Cash dividends paid to common stockholders and OP Unit holders for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2016 and 2015 were ~~$74.7~~$149.5 million and ~~$68.5~~$137.0 million, respectively. Our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.245 per common share and OP Unit in April 2016 for the ~~first~~second quarter of 2016. The dividend was paid on ~~April~~July 15, 2016 to shareholders of record on ~~April 5,~~July 6, 2016. Our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.245 per common share and

OP Unit in July 2016 for the ~~second~~third quarter of 2016. The dividend is payable on ~~July 15,~~October 17, 2016 to shareholders of record on ~~July 6,~~October 5, 2016.

⁽²⁾

We incur variable rate interest on ~~$1.9~~$1.5 billion and $600.0 million of debt related to the Unsecured Credit Facility and Term Loan, respectively. The margin associated with Unsecured Credit Facility borrowings is based on a total leverage based grid and ranges from 0.40% to 1.00%, for base rate loans, and 1.40% to 2.00%, for LIBOR rate loans. The margin on the Unsecured Credit Facility was 1.40% and the all-in rate was 1.90% as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2016. The Company has in place five forward starting interest rate swap agreements that convert the floating interest rate on $1.5 billion of the Unsecured Credit Facility to a fixed, combined interest rate of 0.844% plus an interest spread of 140 basis points. The margin associated with the Term Loan is based on a total leverage based grid and ranges from 0.35% to 0.75%, for base rate loans, and 1.35% to 1.75% for LIBOR rate loans. The margin on the Term Loan was 1.40% and the all-in rate was 1.90% as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2016.

Funds From Operations

NAREIT FFO is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure utilized to evaluate the operating performance of real estate companies. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) defines FFO as net income (loss) in accordance with GAAP excluding (i) gain (loss) on disposition of operating properties, and (ii)

extraordinary items, plus (iii) depreciation and amortization of operating properties, (iv) impairment of operating properties and real estate equity investments, and (v) after adjustments for joint ventures calculated to reflect funds from operations on the same basis.

We present NAREIT FFO as we consider it an important supplemental measure of our operating performance and we believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs. We believe NAREIT FFO assists investors in analyzing our comparative operating and financial performance because, by excluding gains and losses related to dispositions of previously depreciated operating properties, real estate-related depreciation and amortization of continuing operations and unconsolidated joint ventures (which can vary among owners of properties in similar condition based on historical cost accounting and useful life estimates), and impairment of operating properties, NAREIT FFO can help investors compare the operating performance of a company’s real estate between periods or as compared to different companies.

NAREIT FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of financial performance and is not an alternative to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of liquidity. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as they do not include all items of income and expense that affect operations and, accordingly, should always be considered as supplemental to financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. Computation of NAREIT FFO may differ in certain respects from the methodology utilized by other REITs and, therefore, may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure presented by such other REITs. Investors are cautioned that items excluded from NAREIT FFO are significant components in understanding and addressing financial performance.

Our reconciliation of Brixmor Property Group Inc.’s net income to NAREIT FFO for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2016 and 2015 is as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Inflation

~~The majority~~Inflation has been historically low and has had a minimal impact on the operating performance of our shopping centers; however, inflation may become a greater concern in the future. Most of our long-term leases contain provisions designed to mitigate the adverse impact of ~~inflation. Such provisions contain clauses enabling us~~inflation, including requirements for the tenants to ~~receive percentage rents, which generally increase as prices rise but may be adversely impacted by tenant sales decreases, and/or escalation clauses which are typically related~~pay their share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance, thereby reducing our exposure to increases in ~~the consumer price index or similar inflation indices.~~property-level expenses resulting from inflation. In addition, we believe that many of our existing ~~lease~~rental rates are below current market levels for comparable space and that upon renewal or ~~re-rental~~re-leasing, such rates may be increased to be consistent with, or closer to, current market rates. This belief is based upon an analysis of relevant market conditions, including a comparison of comparable market rental ~~rates, and upon the fact that many of~~rates. In addition, with respect to our leases have been in place for a number of years and may not contain escalation clauses sufficient to match the increase in market rental rates over such time. Most of our leases require the tenant to pay its share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance, thereby reducing our exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation. In addition,outstanding indebtedness, we periodically evaluate our exposure to interest rate fluctuations, and may enter into interest rate protection agreements which mitigate, but do not eliminate, the effect of changes in interest rates on our floating rate loans.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We had no material off-balance sheet arrangements as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2016.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

There have been no material changes from the quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk disclosed in Item 7A of Part II of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Controls and Procedures (Brixmor Property Group Inc.)

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Parent Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. The Parent Company’s management, with the participation of its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation and considering the continuing review of controls and procedures that is being conducted by BPG's recently appointed Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting disclosed in the Parent Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, as referenced below in “Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting”, BPG’s principal executive officer, ~~Daniel B. Hurwitz,~~James Taylor, and principal financial officer, ~~Barry Lefkowitz,~~Angela Aman, concluded that BPG’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2016.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in the Parent Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2016 that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Parent Company’s internal control over financial reporting, except as follows.

As disclosed in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors conducted a review that led the Board of Directors to conclude that specific BPG personnel, in certain instances, were directly involved and/or supervised persons directly involved in smoothing income items, both up and down, between reporting periods in an effort to achieve consistent quarterly same property net operating income growth, an industry non-GAAP financial measure. Also as disclosed in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, based on the results of the Audit Committee review, the Board of Directors concluded that there was a deficiency in the control environment specifically because the actions identified in the Audit Committee review failed to demonstrate commitment to integrity and ethical values and senior management did not set an appropriate tone at the top. Although the actual amount of financial statement misstatement resulting from these actions was not significant, because of the override of controls that occurred at senior levels of management, the management concluded that the potential for material misstatement of the financial statements was more than remote. Accordingly, management determined that this control deficiency constituted a material weakness.

BPG has implemented or is evaluating various remedial actions to address the material weakness described above. These actions include the following:

certain personnel are no longer employed by BPG;

a new Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer were appointed effective May 20, 2016;

the Audit Committee, Board and executives have and will continue to increase communication and training to employees regarding the ethical values of BPG, requirement to comply with laws, the Code of Conduct and BPG's policies; and

BPG is evaluating its organizational structure, and ~~will assess~~is assessing roles and responsibilities to enhance controls and compliance.

BPG is committed to maintaining a strong internal control environment. Management believes the foregoing efforts will effectively remediate the material weakness. We will give further updates to our remediation plan in future SEC filings.

Item 5. Other Information

Pursuant to Section 219 of the Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act of 2012 (“ITRSHRA”), which added Section 13(r) of the Exchange Act, we hereby incorporate by reference herein Exhibit 99.1 of this report, which includes disclosures publicly filed and/or provided to Blackstone by Travelport Limited and NCR Corporation, which each may be considered our affiliate.

On July 25, 2016, the Operating Partnership entered into an Amended and Restated Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement (the “Amended Credit Facility”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Agent”), and the lenders party thereto as set forth in the Amended Credit Facility. The Amended Credit Facility amends and restates the Company's $2.75 Billion Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement, dated as of July 16, 2013, as amended (the “Prior Credit Agreement”).

The Amended Credit Facility provides for (1) revolving loan commitments of $1.25 billion (the “Revolving Facility”) maturing July 31, 2020 (representing a three-year extension from the applicable maturity date under the Prior Credit Agreement) and (2) a reallocation of the term loan under the Prior Credit Agreement that was to mature on July 31, 2018 into two non-amortizing term loan tranches comprised of a $1.0 billion tranche A term loan maturing July 31, 2018 (the “Tranche A Term Loan”), and a $500.0 million tranche B term loan maturing July 31, 2021 (the “Tranche B Term Loan”). The Revolving Facility includes two six-month maturity extension options, the exercise of which is subject to customary conditions and the payment of a fee on the extended commitments of 0.075%. The Amended Credit Facility includes the option to increase the revolving loan commitments by, or add term loans in an amount, up to $1.0 billion in the aggregate to the extent that any one or more lenders (from the syndicate or otherwise) agree to provide such additional credit extensions. As of July 25, 2016, no amounts were drawn under the Revolving Facility.

The Amended Credit Facility contains customary representations and affirmative, negative and financial covenants that are similar to the Prior Credit Agreement. Such covenants include restrictions on mergers, affiliate transactions, and asset sales as well as the following financial maintenance covenants:

ratio of total debt to total asset value of not more than 0.60 to 1.00 (increasing to 0.65 to 1.00 for a period of four fiscal quarters following a material acquisition);

ratio of total net operating income to fixed charges of not less than 1.50 to 1.00;

ratio of secured indebtedness to total asset value of not more than 0.40 to 1.00; and

ratio of unsecured indebtedness to the unencumbered base value of properties satisfying certain criteria specified in, and valued per the terms of, the Amended Credit Facility of not more than 0.60 to 1.00 (increasing to 0.65 to 1.00 for a period of four fiscal quarters following a material acquisition).

The Amended Credit Facility also includes customary events of default, the occurrence of which, following any applicable grace period, would permit the lenders to, among other things, declare the principal, accrued interest and other obligations of the Operating Partnership under the Amended Credit Facility to be immediately due and payable.

Additionally, on July 25, 2016, the Operating Partnership entered into Amendment No. 2 to Term Loan Agreement (“Term Loan Second Amendment”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto. The Term Loan Second Amendment amends the Company's $600.0 Million Term Loan Agreement, dated as of March 18, 2014, as amended (the “Existing Term Loan Agreement”). The Term Loan Second Amendment does not change any of the maturity or pricing terms of the Existing Term Loan Agreement, but otherwise implements various covenant and technical amendments to make the Existing Term Loan Agreement consistent with amendments made to corresponding provisions of the Prior Credit Agreement pursuant to the Amended Credit Facility.

The foregoing description of the Amended Credit Facility and the Term Loan Second Amendment is a summary only and is qualified by reference to the Amended Credit Facility, which is attached as Exhibit 10.5 hereto and incorporated by reference herein, and the Term Loan Second Amendment, which is attached as Exhibit 10.6 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

From time to time, the Operating Partnership has had customary commercial and/or investment banking relationships with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and/or certain of its affiliates.
