DEAR FELLOW SHAREHOLDERS:

I am pleased to report to you the results of a course-changing year for Kite Realty Group. The year 2013 was one 
of the most exciting and successful in our almost 10 years as a public company. This year, especially when coupled 
with a recent groundbreaking announcement, has been transformational for your company. We have been particularly 
active in the last six months, during which time we acquired a $304 million, nine-property portfolio and entered into 
a $2.1 billion definitive merger agreement with Inland Diversified. I will discuss each of these major events, as well as 
several others, in the following pages.

STATISTICS

Equity Capitalization

Kite Realty Group has come a very long way in 
the nearly 10 years we have operated as a public 
company.  We  went  public  in  2004  after  much 
success  as  an  entrepreneurial  development 
and  construction  company.  We  enjoyed  solid 
success  and  growth  for  our  first  few  years  as 
a public company and then, along with the rest 
of  the  country,  weathered  the  severe  economic 
storms  of  2008-2009.  During  this  period,  we 
took a number of steps to position ourselves to 
be a much stronger company as we emerged on 
the other side of the recession, ready to take advantage of acquisition and development opportunities that fit our 
strategic investment criteria. We have protected and strengthened our balance sheet, initiated and completed some 
very  important  development  and  redevelopment  projects,  and  set  the  stage  to  become  an  even  more  prominent 
player in the marketplace in the years to come. Given this backdrop, I think it is appropriate to present a few statistics 
to provide some perspective on how far we’ve come together in the last five years. Even though these statistics show 
we have made great progress, we still have a number of objectives we want to achieve.

RETAIL LANDSCAPE
AN OPPORTUNITY FOR GROWTH

I would like to address certain aspects of the retail landscape in the U.S. that influence how we do business in our 
various markets. The U.S. retail real estate market absorbed 16 million square feet of net leasable space in the fourth 
quarter of 2013. With location and occupancy factors taken into account, less than 22% of the 370 million square 
feet listed as vacant at the end of 2013 can be described as fully competitive real estate. Of this 80 million square 
feet of highly competitive space, the vacancy rate is just 3.5%. Therefore, landlords with premium space to offer are 
regaining leasing leverage as low supply growth is expected to continue over the next several years.   

We are quite confident that Kite Realty Group owns some of the best real estate in the markets in which we operate.  
Put another way, we are where retailers want to be. One measure of the quality of our real estate is the strength 
of our rental rates on new and renewal leases. In 2013, our aggregate cash spread leases executed was 14.6% 
and our same property net operating income was up nearly 5%. Both measures demonstrate that, although there 
is  a  shortage  of  competitive  real  estate,  we  have  been  successful  in  attracting  tenants  to  our  development  and 
redevelopment projects, as well as to our operating properties, and we have been able to command very attractive 
rental rates. Upon completion of the merger with Inland Diversified Corporation, which is projected to occur midyear, 
we will enjoy an expanded platform from which we can leverage our relationships with a number of national retailers.

2013 IN REVIEW

As I mentioned above, we continued to make great strides in the implementation of our strategic plan. The primary 
pillars of our plan are:

• 
• 
• 

to strengthen the balance sheet;
to grow the company through strategic capital deployment; and
to strategically recycle capital into more profitable opportunities.

STRENGTHENING THE BALANCE SHEET

During  2013,  we  undertook  or  continued  several  initiatives  specifically  designed  to  improve  and  strengthen  our 
balance  sheet.  These  initiatives  included  organic  deleveraging  as  we  began  to  stabilize  our  largest  development 
assets, reducing the overall interest rate of our debt portfolio and expanding the pool of unencumbered assets. We 
made significant progress in 2013 toward completing large portions of our development portfolio and transitioning 
them to revenue-generating assets. The table below presents the status of the largest development and redevelopment 
projects that were substantially completed during 2013. 

This activity represents investments totaling 
almost $200 million. These projects are set 
to deliver more than $13 million of annualized 
NOI.  As  we  transitioned  these  projects  to 
productive,  revenue-generating  assets,  we 
were  also  able  to  reduce  the  percentage 
of  our  construction  in  progress  from  17% 
of total assets at December 2012 to 7% at 
the end of this year—the lowest percentage 
since we’ve been a public company. This progress demonstrates that we are reducing risk on our balance sheet while 
remaining flexible enough to take advantage of other opportunities that arise.

The  combination  of  lowering  the  amount  of  non-earning  assets,  along  with  bringing  a  substantial  portion  of  our 
developments and redevelopments online and completing several financial and capital initiatives, has served to lower 
our Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio by about 1.2 turns in the last year to 7.4x. All of these actions substantially 
reduced the risk on our balance sheet. With the de-levering effect of our planned merger with Inland Diversified, we 
anticipate reducing this ratio as much as another full turn upon consummation.

During 2013, we also took advantage of a favorable credit and interest rate environment to amend and enhance our 
unsecured term loan and revolving credit facility. We amended our unsecured term loan to increase the borrowing 
by  $105  million  and  lower  the  interest  rate  by  approximately  65  basis  points  across  the  leverage  grid.  We  also 
increased the total borrowing capacity under the term loan by another $70 million, which is available under certain 
circumstances. By amending and extending our revolving line of credit, we reduced the interest rate by 25 to 40 basis 
points, extended the maturity date by almost a year, and increased the overall borrowing capacity by $100 million. 
The net result of these and other initiatives served to lower the debt portfolio’s weighted average interest rate from 
4.51% to 3.74%.

STRATEGIC CAPITAL RECYCLING AND DEPLOYMENT

The year 2013 capped a two-year period during which we successfully identified and sold a total of 10 operating 
properties,  generating  net  proceeds  of  almost  $100  million—the  vast  majority  of  which  was  reinvested  into  new, 
higher-growth, and more strategically positioned assets. Toward the end of the year, we executed a common equity 
raise to fund the purchase of a nine- 
property  portfolio  that  expanded 
our asset base by 2.0 million square 
feet, or about 25%. Seven of these 
properties  are  located  in  states  in 
which we already have a presence 
(Texas, Georgia, and Florida), while 
two  of  the  properties  are  in  the 
state  of  Alabama.  Approximately 
40%  of  the  net  operating  income 
from these properties is in the fast-
growing  Houston,  Texas  market. 
The purchase price of this portfolio 
was  $304  million,  or  an  attractive 
$153 per square foot, which is well 
below its replacement value.  On an 
aggregate  basis,  these  properties 
were 93.3% leased and include an 
impressive lineup of anchor tenants 
such  as  Publix  Super  Markets, 
WalMart,  TJ  Maxx,  Fresh  Market 
and PetSmart. In addition to this high-profile acquisition, we added several other properties and disposed of a few to 
better focus on strategically important markets and increase the overall profitability of the portfolio.  Following are the 
highlights of our 2013 operating property acquisitions.

Castleton Crossing
Indianapolis, IN

A 278,000 square foot shopping center in Indianapolis, Indiana.  This center was 100% leased 
and is anchored by TJ Maxx, HomeGoods, Burlington Coat and Shoe Carnival.

Cool Springs Market
Nashville, TN

A 224,000 square foot shopping center in Nashville, Tennessee.  The acquisition of this center 
marked our entry into the state of Tennessee.  Cool Springs Market was 91.3% leased and is 
anchored by Kroger, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Staples, Marshalls and Jo-Ann Fabric.

Shoppes of Eastwood

A 69,000 square foot shopping center in Orlando, Florida.  This center was 98.1% leased and 
is anchored by Publix Super Markets.  

Toringdon Market
Charlotte, NC

A 60,000 square foot shopping center in Charlotte, North Carolina.  This center was 97.3% 
leased and is anchored by Earth Fare.

These acquisitions expanded our footprint into the new growth markets of Nashville, Tennessee, and Charlotte, North 
Carolina. All of these properties were acquired at prices below replacement cost and at attractive cap rates, and will 
contribute significant shareholder value for years to come.

PENDING MERGER WITH INLAND DIVERSIFIED CORPORATION

We are especially excited about the definitive agreement we entered into last month to merge with Inland Diversified,  
a non-traded REIT based in Chicago. This merger is expected to close in the second or third quarter of this year 
and will add 57 operating properties and 10.2 million square feet in 22 states, approximately doubling the size of the 
company. Upon consummation of the merger, Kite Realty Group will manage and operate the combined company.  
We will retain the trade name Kite Realty Group and stock ticker symbol KRG, and our corporate headquarters will 
remain in Indianapolis.  

The combination of shoring up our capital base via capital market activities and the enlargement of our geographic 
footprint through selective reinvestment in higher quality shopping centers has also expanded our unencumbered 
pool by $370 million to more than $850 million at year-end 2013. Upon consummation of the merger with Inland 
Diversified, we expect the pool to further increase to about $1.2 billion, which will provide a number of strategic and 
expansion opportunities as we continue to grow the company.

STRONG CORE OPERATING METRICS 

During 2013 we also continued to expand and improve the quality of our earnings. With the properties we acquired, 
net of the property disposals, we have increased our annualized NOI by about $26.5 million. We have enhanced 
our tenant lineup by adding or expanding our relationships with prominent retailers such as Publix Super Markets, 
Bed Bath & Beyond, Harris Teeter, LA Fitness and Fresh Market. Total revenue from property operations increased 
34% over the prior year. The majority of this growth was realized through the substantial completion of several of 
our major development projects, including Delray Marketplace in Delray Beach, Florida and Phase I of Holly Springs 
Towne Center near Raleigh, North Carolina, as well as key redevelopment projects such as Rangeline Crossing in 
Indianapolis, Indiana and Four Corner Square in a suburb of Seattle, Washington.

More than 95% of our total NOI is derived from “core” or recurring property operations. We concentrate particularly 
on the level of our NOI derived from “same properties”, that is, those operating properties we have owned for at 
least one year. In 2013, our same property NOI increased 4.9% over a very strong 2012 and it has averaged 3.8% 
over the last four years. Both of these metrics are indicative of the quality of our real estate in general and our tenant 
base in particular, as well as our ability to identify and take advantage of unique opportunities in the marketplace. The 
quality and stability of our core operations allows us to build a more predictable earnings stream while also providing 
a foundation for future growth.

DELRAY MARKETPLACE DELRAY BEACH, FL
MSA DELRAY BEACH    GLA 255,554
ANCHORS FRANK THEATRE CINEBOWL & GRILLE :: PUBLIX SUPER MARKETS 

Another measure of a real estate company’s earnings stability is reflected in the diversity of its tenant base. At year-
end 2013, only Publix Super Markets comprised more than four percent of our total annualized base rent.  After our 
merger with Inland Diversified, no tenant will comprise more than four percent of our ABR. Our diverse tenant mix 
helps to protect future revenue streams from economic downturns that might affect certain markets or industries.

Our  small  shop  spaces  (less  than  10,000  square  feet)  continue  to  represent  a  promising  opportunity  for  future 
growth. While we increased the year-end leased percentage of this portion of our portfolio by 300 basis points over 
last year to 85.5%, we believe substantial upside remains in this part of our portfolio. In addition, approximately 3% of 
our small shop square footage expires in 2014, with the average base rent on these expiring leases below our small 
shop portfolio average.

DEVELOPMENT AND REDEVELOPMENT—ORGANIC SOURCES OF GROWTH

DEVELOPMENT PROGRESS

The year 2013 was one of the most active in our history as we completed two of our larger development projects and 
approached completion of several others. On the development side, we accomplished the following in 2013:

We  completed  the  opening  of  Delray  Marketplace,  one  of  the  largest  and  most  exciting  development  projects  in 
our company’s history. Delray Marketplace, a 260,000 square foot center in Delray Beach, Florida, is 86.8% leased 
or  committed  with  a  strong  tenant  lineup  including  anchors  Publix  Super  Markets  and  Frank  Theatres  along  with 
Charming Charlie, White House I Black Market, Ann Taylor Loft, Chicos and Jos. A. Bank.  Tenant sales have exceeded 
our expectations at this property.

We also completed and opened the first phase of the 534,000 square foot Holly Springs Towne Center, in Holly 
Springs, North Carolina. Phase I of Holly Springs Towne Center is anchored by Target and Dick’s Sporting Goods and 
is 91% leased. We anticipate commencing site construction of Phase II to in the second quarter of 2014.

BALANCE SHEET MANAGEMENT

Building for the Long Term

During 2013, we commenced construction of the first phase of the 570,000 square foot Parkside Town Commons, 
in Cary, North Carolina. Phase I of Parkside Town Commons is 246,000 square feet, is 83.4% leased and boasts an 
impressive anchor tenant lineup including Target, Harris Teeter and Petco. Construction on the 324,000 square foot 
Phase II is well underway with expected occupancy to begin in the fourth quarter of 2014.

REDEVELOPMENT ACTIVITY

One  of  the  more  important  aspects  we  search  for  when  evaluating  acquisition  opportunities  is  the  prospect  for 
enhancing  profitability  through  selective  redevelopment.  In  2012,  we  completed  one  of  the  most  successful 
redevelopments in our history—Rivers Edge Shopping Center in Indianapolis. Last year we leveraged this success 
and  completed  two  more  projects;  the  75,000  square  foot  Rangeline  Crossing  in  Indianapolis,  Indiana  and  the 
108,000 square foot Four Corner Square in Maple Valley, Washington. Rangeline Crossing is 91% leased and is 
anchored by Earth Fare and Walgreens. Four Corner Square is 90% leased and is anchored by Walgreens, Grocery 
Outlet, and The Hardware Store.

The  company  also  commenced  redevelopment  activity  on  several  additional  projects,  which  will  enhance  the 
profitability and attractiveness of the properties:   

Bolton Plaza, in Jacksonville, Florida is a 156,000 square foot center, formerly anchored by WalMart. We have suc-
cessfully  re-tenanted  the  property  with  LA  Fitness,  Academy  Sports  and  Outdoors,  and  Panera  Bread,  and  have 
increased the average rental rate by about 30%.

Kings Lake Square, in Naples, Florida is an 88,000 square foot center, anchored by Publix Super Markets. We signed 
a new lease with Publix and are completely renovating its store, which is scheduled to open in the second half of this 
year, increasing the average rental rate for the property by about 33%.

We will continue to evaluate our existing properties for additional redevelopment opportunities to enhance the NOI 
of the portfolio.

CLOSING

I would like to close this letter to you by publicly thanking one of our board members who served us with distinction 
since we went public in 2004. Mike Smith, who retired from our board earlier this year, provided us with exceptionally 
wise counsel during his tenure and was instrumental in the success we have enjoyed to date and helping set the 
stage for the exciting opportunities that lay ahead.

We have recently added two new members to our board. David O’Reilly is Executive Vice President, Chief Financial 
Officer and Chief Investment Officer of Parkway Properties and brings to us extremely valuable experience in commercial 
real estate, investment banking and finance. Bart Peterson is Senior Vice President of Corporate Affairs for Eli Lilly 
and Company and provides significant background and expertise in corporate governance and communications. We 
welcome both of these gentlemen to our board.

On behalf of our board of trustees, our executive management team, and the employees of Kite Realty Group, I want 
to thank my fellow shareholders for placing your confidence in our strategy and in the company we are building. I 
also want to express my appreciation to our team of hardworking professionals for its unwavering commitment and 
dedication to our vision. I am extremely proud of what we have accomplished together over our nearly ten years as a 
public company, and I look forward to many more years of even greater success.

Sincerely,

John A. Kite
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

ITEM 1. BUSINESS 

PART I  

Unless  the  context  suggests  otherwise,  references  to  “we,”  “us,”  “our”  or  the  “Company”  refer  to  Kite  Realty  Group 
Trust  and  our  business  and  operations  conducted  through  our  directly  or  indirectly  owned  subsidiaries,  including  Kite 
Realty Group, L.P., our operating partnership (the “Operating Partnership”).   

Overview 

Kite  Realty  Group  Trust  is  a  full-service,  vertically  integrated  real  estate  company  engaged  in  the  ownership, 
operation,  management,  leasing,  acquisition,  redevelopment,  and  development  of  high-quality  neighborhood  and 
community shopping centers in selected markets in the United States.  

The  Company  was formed in Maryland in 2004 as a REIT.   We conduct all of our business through  our Operating 
Partnership, of which we are the sole general partner. As of December 31, 2013, we held a 95% interest in our Operating 
Partnership with limited partners owning the remaining 5%. 

As of December 31, 2013, we owned interests in a portfolio of 66 retail operating properties totaling approximately 
11.5 million square feet of gross leasable area (including approximately 3.1 million square feet of non-owned anchor space) 
located in thirteen states.  Our retail operating portfolio was 95.3% leased to a diversified retail tenant base, with no single 
retail  tenant  accounting  for  more  than  4.7%  of  our  total  annualized  base  rent.  In  the  aggregate,  our  largest  25  tenants 
accounted for 33.5% of our annualized base rent.  See Item 2, “Properties” for a list of our top 25 tenants by annualized 
base rent.  

We  also  own  interests  in  two  commercial  operating  properties  (including  the  office  component  of  Eddy  Street 
Commons mixed-use property) totaling approximately 0.4 million square feet of net rentable area, both located in the state 
of Indiana. The leased percentage of our commercial operating portfolio was 95.2% as of December 31, 2013. 

As of December 31, 2013, we also had an interest in two development projects under construction. Upon completion, 
these projects are anticipated to have approximately 0.8 million square feet of gross leasable area (including approximately 
0.2  million  square  feet  of  non-owned  anchor  space).    In  addition,  we  have  one  development  project  pending 
commencement of construction, which is undergoing preparation for construction to commence, including pre-development 
and  pre-leasing  activities.    As  of  December  31,  2013,  this  project  is  expected  to  contain  0.2  million  square  feet  of  total 
gross leasable area (including non-owned anchor space) upon completion. 

In  addition  to  our  development  projects,  as  of  December  31,  2013,  we  had  interests  in  two  redevelopment  projects 
under  construction,  which  are  expected  to  contain  0.2  million  square  feet  of  gross  leasable  area  (including  non-owned 
anchor space) upon completion.  Also, we have two redevelopment projects pending commencement of construction, which 
are  expected  to  contain  0.3  million  square  feet  of  total  gross  leasable  area  (including  non-owned  anchor  space)  upon 
completion. 

In addition, as of December 31, 2013, we owned interests in various land parcels totaling  approximately 131 acres.  
These  parcels  are  classified  as  “Land  held  for  development”  in  the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheets  and  are 
expected to be used for future expansion of existing properties, development of new retail or commercial properties or sold 
to third parties. 

Significant 2013 Activities  

Acquisitions 

During 2013, we successfully completed and integrated the acquisition of the following operating properties:    

  Nine Property Portfolio – In November, we acquired a portfolio of nine retail operating properties located in 
Florida, Georgia, Texas, and Alabama for a purchase price of $304 million.  The portfolio has an aggregate 

3 

 
 
 
owned gross leasable area of 2.0 million square feet and was 93.3% leased as of December 31, 2013.  The 
majority of the centers contain a grocery anchor and are well located within their markets. 

  Toringdon  Market  –  In  August,  we  acquired  a  60,000  square  foot  shopping  center  in  Charlotte,  North 

Carolina for a purchase price of $15.9 million.  This center is anchored by Earth Fare.

Development and Redevelopment Activities 

  Delray Marketplace in Delray Beach, Florida – Construction on this 260,000 square foot development  was 
substantially  completed.    This  center  is  anchored  by  Publix  and  Frank  Theatres  along  with  a  number  of 
restaurants and retailers including Burt and Max’s Grille,  Charming Charlie, Chico’s, White House | Black 
Market,  Ann  Taylor  Loft,  and  Jos.  A  Bank.    The  Company  anticipates  that  total  project  costs  of  the 
development will be approximately $99.5 million, of which $95.9 million had been incurred as of December 
31, 2013.  It is expected that this property will be transitioned into the operating portfolio in the first quarter 
of 2014; 

  Holly Springs Towne Center – Phase I near Raleigh, North Carolina – Construction on this development was 
substantially completed and transitioned to the operating portfolio in the fourth quarter of 2013.  This 91% 
leased center is anchored by Target, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Marshall’s, Michael’s, and Petco; 

  Parkside  Town  Commons  near  Raleigh,  North  Carolina  –  Construction  commenced  on  both  phases  of  this 
570,000  square  foot  development.    Phase  I  of  this  project  is  83%  leased  and  will  be  anchored  by  Target, 
Harris Teeter, and Petco.  Phase II of this project is 62% leased and will be anchored by Frank Theatres, Golf 
Galaxy, Field & Stream, and Toby Keith’s Bar & Grill.  The Company anticipates its total investment in the 
development will be $109.0 million, of which $57.7 million had been incurred as of December 31, 2013.  It 
is expected that Phase I of the property will be transitioned into the operating portfolio in the second  half of 
2014 and Phase II of the property will be transitioned into the operating portfolio in the first half of 2015;  

  Four  Corner  Square  near  Seattle,  Washington  –  This  retail  redevelopment  project  was  substantially

expected  to  open  in  the  first  quarter  of  2014  and  will  anchor  the  center  along  with  Academy  Sports  and 
Outdoors. The Company anticipates its total investment in the development will be $10.3 million, of which 
$6.6 million had been incurred as of December 31, 2013; and 

  King’s  Lake  Square  in  Naples,  Florida  –  This  operating  property  was  transitioned  to  an  in-process 
redevelopment in August upon commencement of construction on a new and upgraded Publix grocery store.  
The Company expects to complete construction in the second quarter of 2014.  The Company anticipates its 
total  investment  in  the  development  will  be  $6.9  million,  of  which  $4.7  million  had  been  incurred  as  of 
December 31, 2013. 

Financing and Capital Raising Activities. As discussed in more detail below in “Business Objectives and Strategies,” 
our primary business objectives are to generate increasing cash flow, achieve long-term growth and maximize shareholder 
value  primarily  through  the  operation,  acquisition,  development  and  redevelopment  of  well-located  community  and 
neighborhood shopping centers.  In 2013, we were able to strengthen our balance sheet and improve our financial flexibility 
and liquidity to fund future growth.  We will endeavor in 2014 to continue improving our key financial ratios, including our 

4 

 
 
debt to EBITDA ratio. We ended the year 2013 with approximately $69 million of combined cash and borrowing capacity 
on  our  unsecured  revolving  credit  facility.    In  addition,  we  own  five  unencumbered  assets  that  would  provide 
approximately $135 million of additional borrowing capacity under the unsecured revolving credit if they were contributed 
to the unencumbered property pool and the accordion feature was exercised.  We will remain focused on 2014 financing 
activity and will continue to aggressively manage our operating portfolio and development pipeline. 

During  2013,  we  successfully  completed  various  financing,  refinancing  and  capital-raising  activities  including  the 

following significant activities:   

Common Equity Offerings 

 

 

In November, the Company completed an equity offering of 36,800,000 common shares at an offering price 
of $6.16 per share for net offering proceeds of $217 million.  The Company initially  used the proceeds to 
repay borrowings under its unsecured revolving credit facility and subsequently redeployed the proceeds to 
fund a portion of the purchase price of the portfolio of nine unencumbered retail properties. 
In April and May, the Company completed an equity offering of 15,525,000 common shares at an offering 
price of $6.55 per share for net offering proceeds of $97 million.  The Company initially used the proceeds 
to repay borrowings under its unsecured revolving credit facility and subsequently redeployed the proceeds 
to acquire the Cool Springs Market, Castleton Crossing, and Toringdon Market operating properties. 

Unsecured Term Loan and Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility 

 

 

In August, we amended and increased the borrowing on our existing unsecured term loan (the “Term Loan”) 
from  $125  million  to  $230  million.    The  Term  Loan  is  scheduled  to  mature  on  August  21,  2018  with  an 
interest  rate  of  LIBOR  plus  145  to  245  basis  points,  depending  on  the  Company’s  leverage,  which  was  a 
decrease from the rate of LIBOR plus 210 to 310 basis points under the existing unsecured term loan.  The 
$105  million  of  additional  proceeds  were  used  to  initially  pay  down  amounts  outstanding  under  our 
unsecured  revolving  credit  facility.    The  Company  has  the  option  to  further  extend  the  maturity  date  to 
February 21, 2019. 

In  February,  we  amended  the  terms  of  our  existing  $200  million  unsecured  revolving  credit  facility.    The 
maturity date was extended to February 26, 2017 and the interest rate was reduced to LIBOR plus 165 to 250 
basis  points,  depending  on  the  Company’s  leverage.    The  Company  has  the  option  to  further  extend  the 
maturity date to February 26, 2018. 

Construction Financing Activity 

  Draws  totaling  $60.9  million  were  made  on  the  variable  rate  construction  loans  related  to  the  Delray 
Marketplace, Holly Springs Towne Center,  Rangeline  Crossing, and Four  Corner Square development and 
redevelopment projects.  

 

In November, we closed on an $87.2 million loan to fund the construction of both phases of Parkside Town 
Commons near Raleigh, North Carolina.  The loan has a maturity date of November 22, 2016 and a variable 
interest rate of LIBOR plus 210 basis points.  During the year, we made draws on this construction loan of 
$16.5 million. 

2013 Cash Distributions 

In  2013,  we  declared  total  cash  distributions  of  $0.24  per  common  share  and  cash  distributions  of  $2.0625  per 

share of our 8.250% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Share (“Series A Preferred Shares”). 

Significant 2014 Activities 

On February 9, 2014, the Company signed a definitive merger agreement with Inland Diversified Real Estate 

Trust, Inc. (“Inland Diversified”), pursuant to which Inland Diversified will merge with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary 
of the Company in a stock-for-stock exchange with a transaction value of approximately $2.1 billion, which includes the 
assumption of approximately $0.9 billion of debt.   

Inland Diversified’s retail portfolio that we plan to acquire is comprised of 57 properties that were 95.3% leased as 

of December 31, 2013.  The properties are located in existing markets of the Company and new markets including 
Westchester, New York, Bayonne, New Jersey, Las Vegas, Nevada, Virginia Beach, Virginia, and Salt Lake City, Utah.  

5 

 
 
We also plan to acquire from Inland Diversified certain multifamily assets that we expect to sell following the close of the 
merger.   

Under the terms of the merger agreement, each outstanding share of Inland Diversified’s common stock will be 

converted into the right to receive newly issued common shares of beneficial interest of the Company in exchange for each 
share of Inland Diversified common stock based on the following: 

                  1.707 shares of the Company for each share of Inland Diversified common stock, so long as the reference price for 

the Company’s shares (defined below) is equal to or less than $6.36; 

                  A floating ratio if the Company’s reference price is more than $6.36 or less than $6.58 with such ratio determined 

by dividing $10.85 by the Company’s reference price; 

                  1.650 shares of the Company for each share of Inland Diversified common stock if the Company’s reference price 

is $6.58 or greater; 

                  The reference price is the volume-weighted average trading price of the Company’s common shares for the ten 
consecutive trading days ending on the third trading day preceding Inland Diversified’s stockholder meeting to 
approve the merger. 

The merger is expected to close late in the second quarter or in the third quarter of 2014, subject to the approval of 

shareholders of both companies and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions. 

Business Objectives and Strategies  

Our  primary  business  objectives  are  to  increase  the  cash  flow  and  build  or  realize  capital  appreciation  of  our 
properties,  achieve  sustainable  long-term  growth  and  maximize  shareholder  value  primarily  through  the  operation, 
development,  redevelopment  and  select  acquisition  of  well-located  community  and  neighborhood  shopping  centers.    We 
invest  in  properties  with  well-located  real  estate  with  strong  demographics,  combined  with  effective  leasing  and 
management strategies, to improve the long-term values and economic returns of our properties.  The  Company believes 
that certain of its properties represent opportunities for future renovation and expansion. 

We seek to implement our  business objectives  through  the following strategies, each of  which is  more  completely 

described in the sections that follow: 

  Operating Strategy: Maximizing the internal growth in revenue from our operating properties by leasing and 
re-leasing those properties to a diverse group of retail tenants at increasing rental rates, when possible, and 
redeveloping  or  renovating  certain  properties  to  make  them  more  attractive  to  existing  and  prospective 
tenants and consumers;  

  Growth Strategy: Using debt and equity capital prudently to selectively acquire additional retail properties, 
redevelop  or  renovate  our  existing  properties,    and  develop  shopping  centers  on  land  parcels  that  we 
currently own where we believe that investment returns would meet or exceed internal benchmarks; and 

  Financing and Capital Preservation Strategy: Maintaining a strong balance sheet with sufficient flexibility 
to  fund  our  operating  and  investment  activities.    Funding  sources  include  opportunistically  accessing  the 
public  securities  markets,  borrowings  under  our  existing  revolving  credit  facility,  new  secured  debt, 
internally generated funds and proceeds from selling land and properties that no longer fit our strategy, and 
potential  investment  in  strategic  joint  ventures.  We  continuously  monitor  the  capital  markets  and  may 
consider  raising  additional  capital  through  the  issuance  of  our  common  shares,  preferred  shares  or  other 
securities. 

Operating  Strategy.  Our  primary  operating  strategy  is  to  maximize  revenue  and  maintain  or  increase  occupancy 
levels  by  attracting  and  retaining  a  strong  and  diverse  tenant  base.  Most  of  our  properties  are  located  in  regional  and 
neighborhood  trade  areas  with  attractive  demographics,  which  has  allowed  us  to  maintain  and,  in  some  cases,  increase 
occupancy and rental rates. We seek to implement our operating strategy by, among other things: 

 

increasing  rental  rates  upon  the  renewal  of  expiring  leases  or  re-leasing  space  to  new  tenants  while 
minimizing vacancy to the extent possible; 

  maximizing the occupancy of our operating portfolio; 

  minimizing tenant turnover; 

  maintaining leasing and property management strategies that maximize rent growth and monitor costs; 

6 

 
 
 
  
   
  maintaining  a  diverse  tenant  mix  in  an  effort  to  limit  our  exposure  to  the  financial  condition  of  any  one 

tenant or any category of tenants; 

  maintaining  the  physical  appearance,  condition,  and  design  of  our  properties  and  other  improvements 

located on our properties to maximize our ability to attract customers;  

 

actively managing costs to minimize overhead and operating costs; 

  maintaining  strong  tenant  and  retailer  relationships  in  order  to  avoid  rent  interruptions  and  reduce 

marketing, leasing and tenant improvement costs that result from re-tenanting space; and 

 

taking advantage of under-utilized land or existing square footage, reconfiguring properties for better use, or 
adding ancillary income areas to existing facilities. 

We  employed our operating strategy in 2013 in a number  of  ways, including  increasing our total leased percentage 
from 94.2% at December 31, 2012 to 95.3% at December 31, 2013.  In addition, we generated positive leasing spreads (i.e., 
the difference between the rent paid under the prior lease and the rent being paid under the current lease) of 14.6% in 2013 
on space vacant less than one year.  We have also been successful in maintaining a diverse retail tenant mix with no tenant 
accounting for more than 4.7% of our annualized base rent. See Item 2, “Properties” for a list of our top tenants by gross 
leasable area and annualized base rent.   

Growth Strategy. Our growth strategy includes the selective deployment of resources to projects that are expected to 
generate investment returns that meet or exceed our internal benchmarks. We intend to implement our growth strategy in a 
number of ways, including: 

 

 

 

 

selectively  pursuing  the  acquisition  of  retail  operating  properties  and  portfolios  in  markets  with  strong 
demographics and attract successful retail tenants; 

continually  evaluating  our  operating  properties  for  redevelopment  and  renovation  opportunities  that  we 
believe  will  make  them  more  attractive  for  leasing  to  new  tenants  or  re-leasing  to  existing  tenants  at 
increased rental rates;  

capitalizing on future development opportunities on currently owned land parcels through the achievement 
of  anchor  and  small  shop  pre-leasing  targets  and  obtaining  financing  prior  to  commencing  vertical 
construction; and 

disposing  of  selected  assets  that  no  longer  meet  our  long-term  investment  criteria  and  recycling  the  net 
proceeds into assets that provide maximum returns and upside potential in desirable markets. 

In  evaluating  opportunities  for  potential  acquisition,  development,  redevelopment  and  disposition,  we  consider  a 

number of factors, including: 

 

 

 

 

the expected returns and related risks associated with the investments relative to our combined cost of capital 
to make such investments; 

the current and projected cash flow and market value of the property, and the potential to increase cash flow 
and market value if the property were to be successfully re-leased or redeveloped;  

the price being offered for the property, the current and projected operating performance of the property, and 
the tax consequences of the sale as well as other related factors; 

the  current  tenant  mix  at  the  property  and  the  potential  future  tenant  mix  that  the  demographics  of  the 
property  could  support,  including  the  presence  of  one  or  more  additional  anchors  (for  example,  value 
retailers,  grocers,  soft  goods  stores,  office  supply  stores,  or  sporting  goods  retailers),  as  well  as  an  overall 
diverse tenant mix that includes restaurants, shoe and clothing retailers, specialty shops and service retailers 
such as banks, dry cleaners and hair salons, some of which provide staple goods to the community and offer a 
high level of convenience; 

 

the configuration of the property, including ease of access, abundance of parking, maximum visibility, and 
the demographics of the surrounding area; and 

 

the level of success of existing properties in the same or nearby markets. 

7 

 
 
 
 
In 2013, we were successful in completing and integrating the acquisition of thirteen high-quality retail properties that 
enabled  us  to  expand  our  presence  in  our  core  markets.    In  addition,  we  delivered  three  very  strong  development  and 
redevelopment projects to the operating portfolio and expect to deliver four additional projects in 2014.  

In  2013,  we  were  successful  in  executing  new  leases  for  anchor  tenants  at  multiple  properties  in  our  development, 
redevelopment,  and  operating  portfolios.    We  signed  anchor  leases  totaling  135,000  square  feet,  including  Gander 
Mountain at our Bayport Commons operating property, Sprouts Farmer’s Market at our Sunland Towne Center operating 
property, and Total Wine and More at our International Speedway Square operating property.   

Financing and Capital Preservation Strategy. We finance our acquisition, development, and redevelopment activities 
seeking to use the most advantageous sources of capital available to us at the time.  These sources may include the sale of 
common  or  preferred  shares  through  public  offerings  or  private  placements,  the  reinvestment  of  proceeds  from  the 
disposition of assets, the incurrence of additional indebtedness through secured or unsecured borrowings, and entering into 
real estate joint ventures.   

Our primary financing and capital preservation strategy is to maintain a strong balance sheet with sufficient flexibility 
to  fund  our  operating  and  investment  activities  in  the  most  cost-effective  way.  We  consider  a  number  of  factors  when 
evaluating our level of indebtedness and when making decisions regarding additional borrowings, including the purchase 
price of properties to be developed or acquired with debt financing, the estimated market value of our properties and  the 
Company as a whole upon consummation of the refinancing, and the ability of particular properties to generate cash flow to 
cover expected debt service.  Our efforts to  strengthen our  balance sheet are essential to  the success of  our business.  We 
intend to continue implementing our financing and capital strategies in a number of ways, including: 

 

 

 

 

 

prudently managing our balance sheet, including reducing the aggregate amount of indebtedness outstanding 
under  our  unsecured  revolving  credit  facility  so  that  we  have  additional  capacity  available  to  fund  our 
development and redevelopment projects and pay down maturing debt if refinancing that debt is not feasible; 

raising additional capital through the issuance of common shares, preferred shares or other securities; 

extending  the  maturity  dates  of  and/or  refinancing  of  our  near-term  mortgage,  construction  and  other 
indebtedness; 

staggering our maturities with long-term debt on recently completed projects; 

entering into construction loans prior to commencement of vertical construction to fund our larger in-process 
developments, redevelopments, and future developments; 

  managing  our  exposure  to  interest  rate  increases  on  our  variable-rate  debt  through  the  use  of  fixed  rate 

hedging transactions and securing property specific long-term nonrecourse financing; and 

 

entering into joint venture arrangements in order to access less expensive capital and to mitigate risk. 

Competition 

The United States commercial real estate market continues to be highly competitive. We face competition from other 
REITs and other owner-operators engaged in the ownership, leasing, acquisition, and development of shopping centers as 
well as from numerous local, regional and national real estate developers and owners in each of our markets.  Some of these 
competitors may have greater capital resources than we do; although we do not believe that any single competitor or group 
of competitors in any of the primary markets where our properties are located are dominant in that market.    

We  face  significant  competition  in  our  efforts  to  lease  available  space  to  prospective  tenants  at  our  operating, 
development and redevelopment properties. The nature of the competition for tenants varies based on the characteristics of 
each local market in which we own properties. We believe that the principal competitive factors in attracting tenants in our 
market  areas  are  location,  demographics,  rental  rates,  the  presence  of  anchor  stores,  competitor  shopping  centers  in  the 
same  geographic  area  and  the  maintenance,  appearance,  access  and  traffic  patterns  of  our  properties.    There  can  be  no 
assurance in the future that we will be able to compete successfully with our competitors in our development, acquisition 
and leasing activities.

Government Regulation 

We and our properties are subject to a variety of federal, state, and local environmental, health, safety and similar 

laws including: 

Americans with Disabilities Act. Our properties must comply with Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act, or 
ADA, to the extent that such properties are public accommodations as defined by the ADA. The ADA may require removal 
of structural barriers to access by persons with disabilities in certain public areas of our properties where such removal is 
readily achievable. We believe our properties are in substantial compliance with the ADA and that we will not be required 
to make substantial capital expenditures to address the requirements of the ADA. However, noncompliance with the ADA 
could result in the imposition of fines or an award of damages to private litigants. The obligation to make readily accessible 
accommodations is an ongoing one, and we will continue to assess our properties and make alterations as appropriate in this 
respect. 

Environmental Regulations. Some properties in our portfolio contain, may have contained or are adjacent to or near 
other  properties  that  have  contained  or  currently  contain  underground  storage  tanks  for  petroleum  products  or  other 
hazardous or toxic substances. These operations may have released, or have the potential to release, such substances into 
the environment.  

In addition, some of our properties have tenants which may use hazardous or toxic substances in the routine course of 
their  businesses.  In  general,  these  tenants  have  covenanted  in  their  leases  with  us  to  use  these  substances,  if  any,  in 
compliance with all environmental laws and have agreed to indemnify us for any damages we may suffer as a result of their 
use  of  such  substances.  However,  these  lease  provisions  may  not  fully  protect  us  in  the  event  that  a  tenant  becomes 
insolvent.  Finally,  one  of  our  properties  has  contained  asbestos-containing  building  materials,  or  ACBM,  and  another 
property may have contained such materials based on the date of its construction. Environmental laws require that ACBM 
be properly managed and maintained, and fines and penalties may be imposed on building owners or operators for failure to 
comply  with  these  requirements.  The  laws  also  may  allow  third  parties  to  seek  recovery  from  owners  or  operators  for 
personal injury associated with exposure to asbestos fibers.  

Neither existing environmental, health, safety and similar laws nor the costs of our compliance  with these laws has 
had a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results operations, and management does not believe they will in 
the  future.  In  addition,  we  have  not  incurred,  and  do  not  expect  to  incur,  any  material  costs  or  liabilities  due  to 
environmental contamination  at properties  we currently own or have owned in the past.  However,  we cannot predict the 
impact of new or changed laws or regulations on properties we currently own or may acquire in the future. 

With  environmental  sustainability  becoming  a  national  priority,  we  have  continued  to  demonstrate  our  strong 
commitment to be a responsible corporate citizen through  resource reduction and employee training  that have resulted in 
reductions of energy consumption, waste and improved maintenance cycles.   

Insurance 

We carry comprehensive liability, fire, extended coverage, and rental loss insurance that covers all properties in our 
portfolio.  We  believe  the  policy  specifications  and  insured  limits  are  appropriate  and  adequate  given  the  relative  risk  of 
loss, the cost of the coverage, and industry practice. Certain risks such as loss from riots, war or acts of God, and, in some 
cases, flooding are not insurable; and therefore, we do not carry insurance for these losses. Some of our policies, such as 
those  covering  losses  due  to  terrorism  and  floods,  are  insured  subject  to  limitations  involving  large  deductibles  or  co-
payments and policy limits that may not be sufficient to cover losses.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS  

The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-
looking statements made in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and presented elsewhere by our management from time to 
time. These factors, among others, may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results 
and cash flows, and you should carefully consider them. It is not possible to predict or identify all such factors. You should 
not  consider  this  list  to  be  a  complete  statement  of  all  potential  risks  or  uncertainties.  Past  performance  should  not  be 
considered an indication of future performance.  

We have separated the risks into four categories: 

 

 

 

 

risks related to our operations; 

risks related to our organization and structure;  

risks related to our pending merger transaction with Inland Diversified Real Estate Trust, Inc.; and 

risks related to tax matters. 

RISKS RELATED TO OUR OPERATIONS  

Because of our geographical concentration in Indiana, Florida and Texas, a prolonged economic downturn in these 
states could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.   

The  United  States  economy  is  recovering  from  the  recent  recession  in  an  uneven  fashion.    Similarly,  the  specific 
markets in which we operate may face challenging economic conditions that could persist into the future.  In particular, as 
of December 31, 2013, 30% of our owned square footage and 31% of our total annualized base rent was located in Indiana, 
24% of our owned square footage and 23% of our total annualized base rent was located in Florida, and 18% of our owned 
square footage and 19% of our total annualized base rent was located in Texas.  This level of concentration could expose us 
to greater economic risks than if we owned properties in numerous geographic regions. Many states continue to deal with 
state  fiscal  budget  shortfalls  and  high  unemployment  rates.  Adverse  economic  or  real  estate  trends  in  Indiana,  Florida, 
Texas,  or  the  surrounding  regions,  or  any  decrease  in  demand  for  retail  space  resulting  from  the  local  regulatory 
environment,  business  climate  or  fiscal  problems  in  these  states,  could  materially  and  adversely  affect  our  financial 
condition, results of operations, cash flow, the trading price of our common shares and our ability to satisfy our debt service 
obligations and to pay distributions to our shareholders.   

10 

 
 
Disruptions in the financial markets could affect our ability to obtain financing on reasonable terms, or at all, and 
have other material adverse effects on our business.  

Disruptions in the credit markets generally, or relating to the real estate industry specifically, may adversely affect 
our ability to obtain debt financing at favorable rates or at all.   These disruptions could impact the overall amount of debt 
financing available, lower loan to  value  ratios,  cause  a tightening of lender underwriting standards and terms and  higher 
interest rate  spreads. As a result,  we  may be  unable to refinance or extend our existing  indebtedness or the terms of  any 
refinancing may not be as favorable as the terms of our existing indebtedness. For example, as of December 31, 2013, we 
had approximately $86 million and $96 million of debt maturing in 2014 and 2015, respectively. If we are not successful in 
refinancing  our  outstanding  debt  when  it  becomes  due,  we  may  be  forced  to  dispose  of  properties  on  disadvantageous 
terms, which might adversely affect our ability to service other debt and to meet our other obligations. 

If economic conditions deteriorate in any of our markets, we may be forced to seek alternative sources of potentially 
less  attractive  financing,  and  have  to  adjust  our  business  plan  accordingly.  In  addition,  we  may  be  unable  to  obtain 
permanent  financing  on  development  projects  we  temporarily  financed  with  construction  loans.    Our  inability  to  obtain 
such permanent financing on favorable terms, if at all, could delay the completion of our development projects and/or cause 
us  to  incur  additional  capital  costs  in  connection  with  completing  such  projects,  either  of  which  could  have  a  material 
adverse effect on our business and our ability to execute our business strategy. These events also may make it more difficult 
or  costly  for  us  to  raise  capital  through  the  issuance  of  our  common  stock  or  preferred  stock.  The  disruptions  in  the 
financial markets have had and may continue to have a material adverse effect on the market value of our common shares 
and other adverse effects on our business.  

If our tenants are unable to secure financing necessary to continue to operate and grow their businesses and pay us 
rent, we could be materially and adversely affected. 

Many of our tenants rely on external sources of financing to operate and grow their businesses.  Disruptions in credit 
markets, as discussed above, may adversely affect our tenants’ ability to obtain debt financing at favorable rates or at all.  If 
our tenants are  unable to secure financing  necessary to continue to operate  their businesses, they  may be unable to  meet 
their rent obligations to us or enter into new leases with us or be forced to declare bankruptcy and reject our leases, which 
could materially and adversely affect us. 

Ongoing challenging conditions in the United States and global economy, and the challenges facing our retail tenants 
and  non-owned  anchor  tenants  may  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  our  financial  condition  and  results  of 
operations.  

Certain sectors of the United States economy are still experiencing weakness.  This structural weakness has resulted in 
continuing  high  levels  of  unemployment,  the  bankruptcy  or  weakened  financial  condition  of  a  number  of  retailers, 
decreased  consumer  spending,  increased  home  foreclosures,  low  consumer  confidence,  and  reduced  demand  and  rental 
rates for certain retail space.  Market conditions remain challenging as higher than historical levels of unemployment and 
lower consumer confidence have persisted.  There can be no assurance that the recovery will continue. General economic 
factors that are beyond our control, including, but not limited to,  economic recessions, decreases in consumer confidence, 
reductions in consumer credit availability, increasing consumer debt levels, rising energy costs, higher tax rates, continued 
business layoffs, downsizing and industry slowdowns, and/or rising inflation, could have a negative impact on the business 
of  our  retail  tenants.    In  turn,  this  could  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  our  business  because  current  or  prospective 
tenants may, among other things, (i) have difficulty paying their rent obligations as they struggle to sell goods and services 
to consumers, (ii) be unwilling to enter into or renew leases with us on favorable terms or at all, (iii) seek to terminate their 
existing  leases  with  us  or  request  rental  concessions  on  such  leases,  or  (iv)  be  forced  to  curtail  operations  or  declare 
bankruptcy.    We  are  also  susceptible  to  other  developments  that,  while  not  directly  tied  to  the  economy,  could  have  a 
material  adverse  effect  on  our  business.  These  developments  include  relocations  of  businesses,  changing  demographics, 
increased Internet shopping, infrastructure quality, federal, state, and local budgetary constraints and priorities, increases in 
real estate and other taxes, costs of complying with government regulations or increased regulation, decreasing valuations 
of real estate, and other factors.  

Further, we continually monitor events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying value of our 
real  estate  assets  may  not  be  recoverable.   The  ongoing  challenging  market  conditions  could  require  us  to  recognize  an 
impairment charge, with respect to one or more of our properties, or a loss on disposition of one or more of our properties.   

11 

 
 
Our real estate assets may be subject to impairment charges.  

Our long-lived assets, primarily real estate held for investment, are carried at cost unless circumstances indicate 

that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. We evaluate whether there are any indicators, including 
property operating performance and general market conditions, that the value of the real estate properties (including any 
related amortizable intangible assets or liabilities) may not be recoverable. Through the evaluation, we compare the current 
carrying value of the asset to the estimated undiscounted cash flows that are directly associated with the use and ultimate 
disposition of the asset. Our estimated cash flows are based on several key assumptions, including rental rates, costs of 
tenant improvements, leasing commissions, anticipated hold periods, and assumptions regarding the residual value upon 
disposition, including the exit capitalization rate. These key assumptions are subjective in nature and could differ materially 
from actual results. Changes in our disposition strategy or changes in the marketplace may alter the hold period of an asset 
or asset group, which may result in an impairment loss and such loss could be material to the Company's financial condition 
or operating performance. To the extent that the carrying value of the asset exceeds the estimated undiscounted cash flows, 
an impairment loss is recognized equal to the excess of carrying value over fair value. If such indicators, as described 
above, are not identified, management will not assess the recoverability of a property's carrying value.  

The fair value of real estate assets is highly subjective and is determined through comparable sales information and 

other market data if available, or through use of an income approach such as the direct capitalization method or the 
traditional discounted cash flow approach. Such cash flow projections consider factors, including expected future operating 
income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of demand, competition and other factors, and therefore are subject to a 
significant degree of management judgment. Changes in those factors could impact the determination of fair value. In 
estimating the fair value of undeveloped land, we generally use market data and comparable sales information.  

These subjective assessments have a direct impact on our net income because recording an impairment charge 

results in an immediate negative adjustment to net income. There can be no assurance that we will not take additional 
charges in the future related to the impairment of our assets. Any future impairment could have a material adverse effect on 
our results of operations in the period in which the charge is taken.  

Our business is significantly influenced by demand for retail space generally, and a decrease in such demand may 
have a greater adverse effect on our business than if we owned a more diversified real estate portfolio. 

Because our portfolio of properties consists primarily of community and neighborhood shopping centers, a decrease in 
the demand for retail space, due to the economic factors discussed above or otherwise, may have a greater adverse effect on 
our business and financial condition than if we owned a more diversified real estate portfolio. The market for retail space 
has  been,  and  could  continue  to  be,  adversely  affected  by  weakness  in  the  national,  regional  and  local  economies,  the 
adverse  financial  condition  of  some  large  retailing  companies,  the  ongoing  consolidation  in  the  retail  sector,  the  excess 
amount of retail space in a number of markets, and increasing consumer purchases through the Internet. To the extent that 
any  of  these  conditions  occur,  they  are  likely  to  negatively  affect  market  rents  for  retail  space  and  could  materially  and 
adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, the trading price of our common shares and our 
ability to satisfy our debt service obligations and to pay distributions to our shareholders. 

Failure  by  any  non-owned  anchor  tenant  or  major  tenant  with  leases  in  multiple  locations,  because  of  a 
deterioration  of  its  financial  condition  or  otherwise,  could  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  our  results  of 
operations.  

We derive the majority of our revenue from tenants who lease space from us at our properties. Therefore, our ability 
to  generate  cash  from  operations  is  dependent  on  the  rents  that  we  are  able  to  charge  and  collect  from  our  tenants.  Our 
leases generally do not contain provisions designed to ensure the creditworthiness of our tenants. At any time, our tenants 
may  experience  a  downturn  in  their  business  that  may  significantly  weaken  their  financial  condition,  particularly  during 
periods of economic uncertainty.   In the event of a prolonged  or severe economic downturn, our tenants may delay lease 
commencements, decline to extend or renew leases upon expiration, fail to make rental payments when due, close a number 
of stores or declare bankruptcy. Any of these actions could result in the termination of the tenant’s leases and the loss of 
rental income attributable to the terminated leases. Lease terminations or failure of a major tenant or non-owned anchor to 
occupy the premises could result in lease terminations or reductions in rent by other tenants in the same shopping centers 
because of contractual co-tenancy termination or rent reduction rights  under the terms of some leases.  In  that event,  we 
may be unable to re-lease the vacated space at attractive rents or at all. The occurrence of any of the situations described 
above, particularly if it involves a substantial tenant or a non-owned anchor with ground leases in multiple locations, could 

12 

 
 
 
 
 
 
have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  our  results  of  operations.  As  of  December  31,  2013,  the  five  largest  tenants  in  our 
operating portfolio in terms of annualized base rent  were Publix,  TJX Companies,  Bed Bath & Beyond, Dick’s Sporting 
Goods, and PetSmart, representing 4.7%, 2.5%, 2.3%, 2.1%, and 1.9%, respectively, of our total annualized base rent.  

We face potential material adverse effects from tenant bankruptcies, and we may be unable to collect balances due 
from any tenant in bankruptcy or replace the tenant at current rates, or at all.  

Tenant  bankruptcies  may  increase  during  periods  of  difficult  economic  conditions.  We  cannot  make  any  assurance 
that a tenant that files for bankruptcy protection will continue to pay its rent obligations. A bankruptcy filing by or relating 
to one of our tenants or a lease guarantor would legally bar our efforts to collect pre-bankruptcy debts from that tenant or 
the lease guarantor, unless we receive an order permitting us to do so from the bankruptcy court. A tenant or lease guarantor 
bankruptcy  could  delay  our  efforts  to  collect  past  due  balances  under  the  relevant  leases,  and  could  ultimately  preclude 
collection of these sums. If a lease is assumed by the tenant in bankruptcy, all pre-bankruptcy balances due under the lease 
must be paid to us in full. However, if a lease is rejected by a tenant in bankruptcy, we would have only a general unsecured 
claim for damages including  pre-bankruptcy balances. Any unsecured claim  we hold  may be paid only to the  extent that 
funds  are  available  and  only  in  the  same  percentage  as  is  paid  to  all  other  holders  of  unsecured  claims,  and  there  are 
restrictions under bankruptcy laws that limit the amount of the claim we can make if a lease is rejected. As a result, it is 
likely  that  we  will  recover  substantially  less  than  the  full  value  of  any  unsecured  claims  we  hold  from  a  tenant  in 
bankruptcy, which would result in a reduction in our cash flow and in the amount of cash available for distribution to our 
shareholders. 

Moreover, we are continually re-leasing vacant spaces resulting from tenant lease terminations. The bankruptcy of a 
tenant, particularly an anchor tenant,  may make it more difficult to lease the remainder of the affected properties. Future 
tenant  bankruptcies  could  materially  adversely  affect  our  properties  or  impact  our  ability  to  successfully  execute  our  re-
leasing strategy.  

We had $857 million of consolidated indebtedness outstanding as of December 31, 2013, which may have a material 
adverse  effect  on  our  financial  condition  and  results  of  operations  and  reduce  our  ability  to  incur  additional 
indebtedness to fund our growth.  

Required repayments of debt and related interest may materially adversely affect our operating performance. We had 
$857  million  of  consolidated  outstanding  indebtedness  as  of  December  31,  2013,  of  which  $86  million  is  scheduled  to 
mature in 2014, and $96 million is  scheduled to  mature in 2015.  At December 31, 2013, $581 million of  our  debt bore 
interest at  variable rates ($254  million  when reduced by our $327 million of  fixed  interest rate  swaps). Interest rates  are 
currently  low  relative  to  historical  levels  and  may  increase  significantly  in  the  future.  If  our  interest  expense  increased 
significantly, it could materially adversely affect our results of operations. For example, if market rates of interest on our 
variable rate debt outstanding, net of cash flow hedges, as of December 31, 2013 increased by 1%, the increase in interest 
expense on our variable rate debt would decrease future cash flows by $2.5 million annually. 

We also intend to incur additional debt in connection with various development and redevelopment projects, and may 
incur additional debt with acquisitions of properties. Our organizational documents do not limit the amount of indebtedness 
that we may incur. We may borrow new funds to develop or acquire properties. In addition, we may incur or increase our 
mortgage debt by obtaining loans secured by some or all of the real estate properties we develop or acquire. We also may 
borrow funds if necessary to satisfy the requirement that we distribute to shareholders at least 90% of our annual  “REIT 
taxable  income”  (determined  before  the  deduction  of  dividends  paid  and  excluding  net  capital  gains),  or  otherwise  as  is 
necessary or advisable to ensure that we maintain our qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes or otherwise 
avoid paying taxes that can be eliminated through distributions to our shareholders.  

Our  substantial  debt  could  materially  and  adversely  affect  our  business  in  other  ways,  including  by,  among  other 

things: 

 

requiring  us  to  use  a  substantial  portion  of  our  funds  from  operations  to  pay  principal  and  interest,  which 
reduces the amount available for distributions; 

  placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt; 
  making us more vulnerable to economic and industry downturns and reducing our flexibility in responding to 

changing business and economic conditions; and 

13 

 
 
 
 
 

limiting  our  ability  to  borrow  more  money  for  operating  or  capital  needs  or  to  finance  development  and 
acquisitions in the future. 

Agreements  with  lenders  supporting  our  unsecured  revolving  credit  facility  and  various  other  loan  agreements 
contain  default  provisions  which,  among  other  things,  could  result  in  the  acceleration  of  principal  and  interest 
payments or the termination of the facilities.  

Our  unsecured  revolving  credit  facility  and  various  other  debt  agreements  contain  certain  Events  of  Default  which 
include, but are not limited to, failure to make principal or interest payments when due, failure to perform  or observe any 
term  in  the  agreement,  covenant  or  condition  contained  in  the  agreements,  failure  to  maintain  certain  financial  and 
operating ratios and other criteria, misrepresentations and bankruptcy proceedings.   In the event of a default under any of 
these agreements, the lender would have various rights including, but not limited to, the ability to require the acceleration of 
the payment of all principal and interest due  and/or to terminate  the agreements, and  to  foreclose on the properties.  The 
declaration of a default and/or the acceleration of the amount due under any such credit agreement could have a material 
adverse effect on our business.   

However,  certain  of  our  fixed-rate  and  variable-rate  loans  contain  cross-default  provisions  which  provide  that  a 
violation  by  the  Company  of  any  financial  covenant  set  forth  in  our  unsecured  revolving  credit  facility  agreement  will 
constitute  an  event  of  default  under  the  loans.    Our  unsecured  revolving  credit  facility  agreement  contains  a  similar 
provision  providing  that  an  “Event  of  Default”  under  our  Term  Loan  will  constitute  an  “Event  of  Default”  under  our 
unsecured  revolving  credit  facility  agreement.    These  provisions  could  allow  the  lending  institutions  to  accelerate  the 
amount due under the loans.  The Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants under the unsecured revolving 
credit facility and Term Loan as of December 31, 2013. 

Mortgage debt obligations expose us to the possibility of foreclosure, which could result in the loss of our investment 
in a property or group of properties subject to mortgage debt.  

A significant amount of our indebtedness  is secured by our real estate assets. If a property or group of properties is 
mortgaged to secure payment of debt and we are unable to meet mortgage payments, the holder of the mortgage or lender 
could  foreclose  on  the  property,  resulting  in  the  loss  of  our  investment.  For  tax  purposes,  a  foreclosure  of  any  of  our 
properties  would  be  treated  as  a  sale  of  the  property  for  a  purchase  price  equal  to  the  outstanding  balance  of  the  debt 
secured  by  the  mortgage.  If  the  outstanding  balance  of  the  debt  secured  by  the  mortgage  exceeds  our  tax  basis  in  the 
property,  we  would  recognize  taxable  income  on  foreclosure,  but  we  would  not  receive  any  cash  proceeds,  which  could 
hinder  our  ability  to  meet  the  REIT  distribution  requirements  imposed  by  the  Internal  Revenue  Code.  If  any  of  our 
properties are foreclosed on due to a default, our ability to pay cash distributions to our shareholders  and our earnings will 
be limited. 

We are subject to risks associated with hedging agreements. 

We use a combination of interest rate protection agreements, including interest rate swaps, to manage risk associated 
with  interest  rate  volatility.  This  may  expose  us  to  additional  risks,  including  a  risk  that  the  counterparty  to  a  hedging 
arrangement may fail to honor its obligations. Developing an effective interest rate risk strategy is complex and no strategy 
can completely insulate us from risks associated with interest rate fluctuations. There can be no assurance that our hedging 
activities  will  have  the  desired  beneficial  impact  on  our  results  of  operations  or  financial  condition.  Further,  should  we 
choose  to  terminate  a  hedging  agreement,  there  could  be  significant  costs  and  cash  requirements  involved  to  fulfill  our 
initial obligation under the hedging agreement. 

Our performance and value are subject to risks associated with real estate assets and with the real estate industry.  

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

In addition, other events and conditions generally applicable to owners and operators of real property that are beyond 
our control may decrease cash available for distribution and the value of our properties. These events include but are not 
limited to: 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

adverse changes in the national, regional and local economic climate, particularly in: Indiana, where 30% of 
our owned square footage and  31% of our total annualized base rent is located; Florida, where 24% of our 
owned  square  footage  and  23%  of  our  total  annualized  base  rent  is  located;  and Texas,  where  18%  of  our 
owned square footage and 19% of our total annualized base rent is located; 

tenant bankruptcies; 

local oversupply of rental space, increased competition or reduction in demand for rentable space; 

inability to collect rent from tenants, or having to provide significant rent concessions to tenants; 

vacancies or our inability to rent space on favorable terms; 

changes in market rental rates; 

inability to finance property development, tenant improvements and acquisitions on favorable terms; 

increased  operating  costs,  including  costs  incurred  for  maintenance,  insurance  premiums,  utilities  and  real 
estate taxes; 

the need to periodically fund the costs to repair, renovate and re-lease space; 

decreased attractiveness of our properties to tenants; 

  weather conditions that may increase or decrease energy costs and other  weather-related expenses (such as 

snow removal costs); 

 

 

 

 

 

costs of complying with changes in governmental regulations, including those governing usage, zoning, the 
environment and taxes; 

civil  unrest, acts of terrorism, earthquakes,  hurricanes and  other national disasters or acts of  God that  may 
result in underinsured or uninsured losses; 

the relative illiquidity of real estate investments; 

changing demographics; and 

changing traffic patterns. 

Our financial covenants may restrict our operating and acquisition activities.  

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

Our current and future joint venture investments could be adversely affected by our lack of sole decision-making 
authority, our reliance on joint venture partners’  financial condition,  any disputes  that  may arise between us and 
our joint venture partners and our exposure to potential losses from the actions of our joint venture partners.   

As  of  December  31,  2013,  we  owned  four  of  our  operating  properties  through  joint  ventures.  As  of  December  31, 
2013, the four properties represented 3.2% of our annualized base rent. One of our under construction development projects 
is  currently  owned  through  a  joint  venture.    In  addition,  we  currently  own  land  held  for  development  through  two  joint 
ventures.    Our  joint  ventures  may  involve  risks  not  present  with  respect  to  our  wholly  owned  properties,  including  the 
following: 

  we  may  share  decision-making  authority  with  our  joint  venture  partners  regarding  certain  major  decisions 
affecting the ownership or operation of the joint venture and the joint venture property, such as the sale of the 

15 

 
 
 
 

 

 

 

property or the making of additional capital contributions for the benefit of the property, which may prevent 
us from taking actions that are opposed by our joint venture partners; 

prior  consent  of  our  joint  venture  partners  may  be  required  for  a  sale  or  transfer  to  a  third  party  of  our 
interests in the joint venture, which restricts our ability to dispose of our interest in the joint venture; 

our joint venture partners might become bankrupt or fail to fund their share of required capital contributions, 
which may delay construction or development of a property or increase our financial commitment to the joint 
venture; 

our joint venture partners may have business interests or goals with respect to the property that conflict with 
our  business  interests  and  goals,  which  could  increase  the  likelihood  of  disputes  regarding  the  ownership, 
management or disposition of the property; 

disputes  may  develop  with  our  joint  venture  partners  over  decisions  affecting  the  property  or  the  joint 
venture,  which  may  result  in  litigation  or  arbitration  that  would  increase  our  expenses  and  distract  our 
officers and/or trustees from focusing their time and effort on our business, and possibly disrupt the day-to-
day  operations  of  the  property  such  as  by  delaying  the  implementation  of  important  decisions  until  the 
conflict or dispute is resolved; and 

  we may suffer losses as a result of the actions of our joint venture partners with respect to our joint venture 
investments and the activities of a joint venture could adversely affect our ability to qualify as a REIT, even 
though we may not control the joint venture. 

In the future, we may seek to co-invest with third parties through joint ventures that may involve similar or additional 

risks. 

We face significant competition, which may impede our ability to renew leases or re-lease space as leases expire or 
require us to undertake unbudgeted capital improvements.  

We  compete  with  numerous  developers,  owners  and  operators  of  retail  shopping  centers  for  tenants.  These 
competitors  include  institutional  investors,  other  REITs  and  other  owner-operators  of  community  and  neighborhood 
shopping centers, some of which own or may in the future own properties similar to ours in the same markets in which our 
properties are located, but which have greater capital resources. As of December 31, 2013, leases representing 5.8% of our 
owned gross leasable area (GLA)  were scheduled to expire in 2014.  If our competitors offer space at rental rates below 
current market rates, or below the rental rates we currently charge our tenants, we may  be unable to lease on satisfactory 
terms to potential tenants and we may be pressured to reduce our rental rates below those we currently charge in order to 
retain tenants when our leases with them expire. We also may be required to offer more substantial rent abatements, tenant 
improvements  and  early  termination  rights  or  accommodate  requests  for  renovations,  build-to-suit  remodeling  and  other 
improvements than we have historically.  As a result, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, trading price 
of our common shares and ability to satisfy our debt service obligations and to pay distributions to our shareholders may be 
materially adversely affected. In addition, increased competition for tenants may require us to make capital improvements 
to properties that we would not have otherwise planned to make. Any capital improvements we undertake may reduce cash 
available for distributions to shareholders. 

Our  future  developments  and  acquisitions  may  not  yield  the  returns  we  expect  or  may  result  in  dilution  in 
shareholder value.   

We have four development and redevelopment projects under construction and three development and redevelopment 
projects  pending  commencement  of  construction.  New  development  projects  and  property  acquisitions  are  subject  to  a 
number of risks, including, but not limited to: 

 

 

 

 

abandonment of development activities after expending resources to determine feasibility; 

construction delays or cost overruns that may increase project costs; 

our investigation of a property or building prior to our acquisition, and any representations we may receive 
from  the  seller,  may  fail  to  reveal  various  liabilities  or  defects  or  identify  necessary  repairs  until  after  the 
property is acquired, which could reduce the cash flow from the property or increase our acquisition costs; 

as  a  result  of  competition  for  attractive  development  and  acquisition  opportunities,  we  may  be  unable  to 
acquire  assets  as  we  desire  or  the  purchase  price  may  be  significantly  elevated,  which  may  impede  our 
growth; 

16 

 
 
 

 

 

 

financing risks; 

the failure to meet anticipated occupancy or rent levels; 

failure  to  receive  required  zoning,  occupancy,  land  use  and  other  governmental  permits  and  authorizations 
and changes in applicable zoning and land use laws; and 

the consent of third parties such as tenants, mortgage lenders and joint venture partners may be required, and 
those consents may be difficult to obtain or could be withheld. 

In addition, if a project is delayed or if we are unable to lease designated space to anchor tenants, certain tenants may 
have the right to terminate their leases. If any of these situations occur, development costs for a project will increase, which 
will result in reduced returns, or even losses, from such investments. In deciding whether to acquire or develop a particular 
property, we make certain assumptions regarding the expected future performance of that property. If these new properties 
do not perform as expected, our financial performance may be materially and adversely affected or an impairment charge 
could  occur.  In  addition,  the  issuance  of  equity  securities  as  consideration  for  any  acquisitions  could  be  dilutive  to  our 
shareholders.  

We may not be successful in identifying suitable acquisitions or development and redevelopment projects that meet 
our investment criteria, which may impede our growth.  

Part of our business strategy is expansion through  acquisitions and development and redevelopment projects, which 
requires us to identify suitable development or acquisition candidates or investment opportunities that meet our criteria and 
are compatible  with our growth strategy. We  may  not be  successful in identifying suitable real estate properties or other 
assets  that  meet  our  development  or  acquisition  criteria,  or  we  may  fail  to  complete  developments,  acquisitions  or 
investments  on  satisfactory  terms.  Failure  to  identify  or  complete  developments  or  acquisitions  could  slow  our  growth, 
which could in turn materially adversely affect our operations.  

Redevelopment  activities  may  be  delayed  or  otherwise  may  not  perform  as  expected  and,  in  the  case  of  an 
unsuccessful redevelopment project, our entire investment could be at risk for loss.   

We  currently  have  two  redevelopment  projects  under  construction  and  two  redevelopment  projects  pending 
commencement of construction. We expect to redevelop certain of our other properties in the future. In connection with any 
redevelopment of our properties, we will bear certain risks, including the risk of construction delays or cost overruns that 
may increase project costs and make a project uneconomical, the risk that occupancy or rental rates at a completed project 
will not be sufficient to enable us to pay operating expenses or earn the targeted rate of return on investment, and the risk of 
incurrence  of  predevelopment  costs  in  connection  with  projects  that  are  not  pursued  to  completion.  In  addition,  various 
tenants may have the right to withdraw from a property if a development and/or redevelopment project is not completed on 
time. In the case of a redevelopment project, consents may be required from various tenants in order to redevelop a center. 
In  the  case  of  an  unsuccessful  redevelopment  project,  our  entire  investment  could  be  at  risk  for  loss  or  an  impairment 
charge could occur.   

We may not be able to sell properties when appropriate and could, under certain circumstances, be required to pay 
certain tax indemnities related to the properties we sell.  

Real  estate  property  investments  generally  cannot  be  sold  quickly.  Our  ability  to  dispose  of  properties  on 
advantageous terms depends on factors beyond our control, including competition from other sellers and the availability of 
attractive  financing  for  potential  buyers  of  our  properties, and  we  cannot  predict  the  various  market  conditions  affecting 
real estate investments that will exist at any particular time in the future.  In addition, in connection with our formation at 
the time of our initial public offering (“IPO”), we entered into an agreement that restricts our ability, prior to December 31, 
2016, to dispose of six of our properties in taxable transactions and limits the amount of gain we can trigger with respect to 
certain  other  properties  without  incurring  reimbursement  obligations  owed  to  certain  limited  partners  of  our  Operating 
Partnership.  We  have  agreed  that  if  we  dispose  of  any  interest  in  six  specified  properties  in  a  taxable  transaction  before 
December 31, 2016, we will indemnify the contributors of those properties for their tax liabilities attributable to the built-in 
gain that exists with respect to such property interest as of the time of our IPO (and tax liabilities incurred as a result of the 
reimbursement  payment).  The  six  properties  to  which  our  tax  indemnity  obligations  relate  represented  11.5%  of  our 
annualized base rent in the aggregate  as of December 31, 2013. These six properties are International Speedway Square, 
Shops at Eagle  Creek, Whitehall Pike, Ridge Plaza, Thirty South and Market Street Village. We also agreed to limit the 

17 

 
 
aggregate  gain  certain  limited  partners  of  our  Operating  Partnership  would  recognize,  with  respect  to  certain  other 
contributed properties through December 31, 2016, to not more than $48 million in total, with certain annual limits, unless 
we reimburse them for the taxes attributable to the excess gain (and any taxes imposed on the reimbursement payments), 
and  take  certain  other  steps  to  help  them  avoid  incurring  taxes  that  were  deferred  in  connection  with  the  formation 
transactions.  

The  agreement  described  above  is  extremely  complicated  and  imposes  a  number  of  procedural  requirements  on  us, 
which makes it more difficult for us to ensure that we comply with all of the various terms of the agreement and therefore 
creates a  greater risk that  we  may be  required to make an indemnity payment.  The complicated nature of this agreement 
also  might  adversely  impact  our  ability  to  pursue  other  transactions,  including  certain  kinds  of  strategic  transactions  and 
reorganizations.  

Also, the  tax laws applicable to REITs require  that  we  hold our properties for investment, rather than primarily  for 
sale in the ordinary course of business, which may cause us to forego or defer sales of properties that otherwise would be in 
our best interest. Therefore, we may be unable to adjust our portfolio mix promptly in response to market conditions, which 
may adversely affect our financial position. In addition, we will be subject to income taxes on gains from the sale of any 
properties owned by any taxable REIT subsidiary.  

Potential losses may not be covered by insurance.  

We do not carry insurance for generally uninsurable losses such as loss from riots, war or acts of God, and, in some 
cases,  flooding.  Some  of  our  policies,  such  as  those  covering  losses  due  to  terrorism  and  floods,  are  insured  subject  to 
limitations involving large deductibles or co-payments and policy limits that may not be sufficient to cover all losses. If we 
experience  a  loss  that  is  uninsured  or  that  exceeds  policy  limits,  we  could  lose  the  capital  invested  in  the  damaged 
properties  as  well  as  the  anticipated  future  cash  flows  from  those  properties.  Inflation,  changes  in  building  codes  and 
ordinances, environmental considerations, and other factors also might make it impractical or undesirable to use insurance 
proceeds to replace a property after it has been damaged or destroyed. In addition, if the damaged properties are subject to 
recourse  indebtedness,  we  would  continue  to  be  liable  for  the  indebtedness,  even  if  these  properties  were  irreparably 
damaged. 

Insurance coverage on our properties may be expensive or difficult to obtain, exposing us to potential risk of loss.  

         In  the  future,  we  may  be  unable  to  renew  or  duplicate  our  current  insurance  coverage  at  adequate  levels  or  at 
reasonable prices. In addition, insurance companies may no longer offer coverage against certain types of losses, such as 
losses  due  to  terrorist  acts,  environmental  liabilities,  or  other  catastrophic  events  including  hurricanes  and  floods,  or,  if 
offered, the expense of obtaining these types of insurance may not be justified. We therefore may cease to have insurance 
coverage against certain types of losses and/or there may be decreases in the limits of insurance available. If an uninsured 
loss  or  a  loss  in  excess  of  our  insured  limits  occurs,  we  could  lose  all  or  a  portion  of  the  capital  we  have  invested  in  a 
property,  as  well  as  the  anticipated  future  revenue  from  the  property  after  a  covered  period  of  time,  but  still  remain 
obligated for any  mortgage debt or other financial obligations related to the property.  We cannot  guarantee  that  material 
losses in excess of insurance proceeds will not occur in the future. If any of our properties were to experience a catastrophic 
loss, it could seriously disrupt our operations, delay revenue and result in large expenses to repair or rebuild the property. 
Events such as these could adversely affect our results of operations and our ability to meet our obligations.  

Rising  operating  expenses  could  reduce  our  cash  flow  and  funds  available  for  future  distributions,  particularly  if 
such expenses are not offset by corresponding revenues. 

Our  existing  properties  and  any  properties  we  develop  or  acquire  in  the  future  are  and  will  be  subject  to  operating 
risks common to real estate in general, any or all of which may negatively affect us. The expenses of owning and operating 
properties generally do not decrease, and may increase, when circumstances such as market factors and competition cause a 
reduction in income from the properties. As a result, if any property is not fully occupied or if rents are being paid in an 
amount that is insufficient to cover operating expenses, we could be required to expend funds for that property’s operating 
expenses.  Our  properties  continue  to  be  subject  to  increases  in  real  estate  and  other  tax  rates,  utility  costs,  operating 
expenses, insurance costs, repairs and maintenance and administrative expenses, regardless of such properties’ occupancy 
rates.  Therefore,  rising  operating  expenses  could  reduce  our  cash  flow  and  funds  available  for  future  distributions, 
particularly if such expenses are not offset by corresponding revenues. 

18 

 
 
We could incur significant costs related to government regulation and environmental matters.  

Under  various  federal,  state  and  local  laws,  ordinances  and  regulations,  an  owner  or  operator  of  real  estate  may  be 
required to investigate and clean up hazardous or toxic substances or petroleum product releases at a property and may be 
held liable to a governmental entity or to third parties for property damage and for investigation and clean up costs incurred 
by such parties in connection with contamination. The cost of investigation, remediation or removal of such substances may 
be  substantial,  and  the  presence  of  such  substances,  or  the  failure  to  properly  remediate  such  substances,  may  adversely 
affect the owner’s ability to sell or rent such property or to borrow using such property as collateral. In connection with the 
ownership, operation and management of real properties, we are potentially liable for removal or remediation costs, as well 
as certain other related costs, including governmental fines and injuries to persons and property.  We may also be liable to 
third  parties  for  damage  and  injuries  resulting  from  environmental  contamination  emanating  from  the  real  estate.  
Environmental laws also may create liens on contaminated sites in favor of the government for damages and costs it incurs 
to  address  such  contamination.    Moreover,  if  contamination  is  discovered  on  our  properties,  environmental  laws  may 
impose restrictions on the manner in which that property may be used or how businesses may be operated on that property. 

Some  of the properties in our portfolio contain,  may  have  contained or are adjacent to or near other properties that 
have  contained  or  currently  contain  underground  storage  tanks  for  petroleum  products  or  other  hazardous  or  toxic 
substances. These operations may have released, or have the potential to release, such substances into the environment. In 
addition,  some  of  our  properties  have  tenants  that  may  use  hazardous  or  toxic  substances  in  the  routine  course  of  their 
businesses. In general, these tenants have covenanted in their leases with us to use these substances, if any, in compliance 
with all environmental laws and have agreed to indemnify us for any damages that we may suffer as a result of their use of 
such  substances.  However,  these  lease  provisions  may  not  fully  protect  us  in  the  event  that  a  tenant  becomes  insolvent. 
Finally, one of our properties has contained asbestos-containing building materials, or ACBM, and another property may 
have contained such  materials based on the date  of its construction. Environmental laws require that  ACBM  be properly 
managed and maintained, and may impose fines and penalties on building owners or operators for failure to comply with 
these requirements. The laws also  may allow third parties  to seek recovery from owners or operators for personal injury 
associated with exposure to asbestos fibers.  

Our properties must also comply with Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act, or ADA, to the extent that such 
properties  are  public  accommodations  as  defined  by  the  ADA.  The  ADA  may  require  removal  of  structural  barriers  to 
access  by  persons  with  disabilities  in  certain  public  areas  of  our  properties  where  such  removal  is  readily  achievable. 
Noncompliance  with  the  ADA  could  result  in  imposition  of  fines  or  an  award  of  damages  to  private  litigants  and  the 
incurrence of additional costs associated with bringing the properties into compliance, any of which could adversely affect 
our financial condition. 

Our efforts to identify environmental liabilities may not be successful. 

We  test  our  properties  for  compliance  with  applicable  environmental  laws  on  a  limited  basis.  We  cannot  give 

assurance that: 

 

 

 

 

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

any previous owner, occupant or tenant of one  of our properties did not create any  material environmental 
condition not known to us; 

the current environmental condition of our properties will  not be affected by tenants and occupants, by the 
condition of nearby properties, or by other unrelated third parties; or 

future  uses  or  conditions  (including,  without  limitation,  changes  in  applicable  environmental  laws  and 
regulations or the interpretation thereof) will not result in environmental liabilities. 

Inflation may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. 

Most of our leases contain provisions requiring the tenant to pay its share of operating expenses, including common 
area  maintenance, real estate  taxes and insurance.  However, increased inflation could  have a  more pronounced  negative 
impact on our mortgage and debt interest and general and administrative expenses, as these costs could increase at a rate 
higher than our rents. Also, inflation may adversely affect tenant leases with stated rent increases or limits on such tenant’s 
obligation to pay its share of operating expenses, which could be lower than the increase in inflation at any given time.  It 
may also limit our ability to recover all of our operating expenses. Inflation could also have an adverse effect on consumer 

19 

 
 
 
 
 
spending, which could impact our tenants’ sales and, in turn, our average rents, and in some cases, our percentage rents, 
where applicable.  In addition, renewals of leases or future leases may not be negotiated on current terms, in which event 
we may recover a smaller percentage of our operating expenses. 

RISKS RELATED TO OUR ORGANIZATION AND STRUCTURE 

Our organizational documents contain provisions that generally would prohibit any person (other than members of 
the Kite family who, as a group, are currently allowed to own up to 21.5% of our outstanding common shares) from 
beneficially  owning  more  than  7%  of  our  outstanding  common  shares  (or  up  to  9.8%  in  the  case  of  certain 
designated  investment  entities,  as  defined  in  our  declaration  of  trust),  which  may  discourage  third  parties  from 
conducting a tender offer or seeking other change of control transactions that could involve a premium price for our 
shares or otherwise benefit our shareholders. 

Our  organizational  documents  contain  provisions  that  may  have  an  anti-takeover  effect  and  inhibit  a  change  in  our 

management. 

(1)  There are ownership limits and restrictions on transferability in our declaration of trust. In order for us to qualify 
as a REIT, no more than 50% of the value of our outstanding shares may be owned, actually or constructively, by five or 
fewer individuals at any time during  the last half of each  taxable  year. To make  sure that  we  will  not  fail  to satisfy this 
requirement  and  for  anti-takeover  reasons,  our  declaration  of  trust  generally  prohibits  any  shareholder  (other  than  an 
excepted  holder  or  certain  designated  investment  entities,  as  defined  in  our  declaration  of  trust)  from  owning  (actually, 
constructively or by attribution), more than 7% of the value or number of our outstanding common shares. Our declaration 
of trust provides an excepted holder limit that allows members of the Kite family (Al Kite, John Kite and Paul Kite, their 
family  members  and  certain  entities  controlled  by  one  or  more  of  the  Kites),  as  a  group,  to  own  more  than  7%  of  our 
outstanding  common  shares,  so  long  as,  under  the  applicable  tax  attribution  rules,  no  one  excepted  holder  treated  as  an 
individual would hold more than 21.5% of our common shares, no two excepted holders treated as individuals would own 
more than 28.5% of our common shares, no three excepted holders treated as individuals would own more than 35.5% of 
our common shares, no four excepted holders treated as individuals would own more than 42.5% of our common shares, 
and no five excepted holders treated as individuals would own more than 49.5% of our common shares. Currently, one of 
the excepted holders would be attributed all of the common shares owned by each other excepted holder and, accordingly, 
the excepted holders as a group would not be allowed to own in excess of 21.5% of our common shares. If at a later time, 
there were not one excepted holder that would be attributed all of the shares owned by the excepted holders as a group, the 
excepted holder limit  would not permit each excepted holder to own 21.5% of our common shares. Rather, the excepted 
holder limit would prevent two or more excepted holders who are treated as individuals under the applicable tax attribution 
rules from owning a higher percentage of our common shares than the maximum amount of common shares that could be 
owned by any one excepted holder (21.5%), plus the maximum amount of common shares that could be owned by any one 
or  more  other  individual  common  shareholders  who  are  not  excepted  holders  (7%).  Certain  entities  that  are  defined  as 
designated investment entities in our declaration of trust, which generally includes pension funds, mutual funds, and certain 
investment management companies, are permitted to own up to 9.8% of our outstanding common shares, so long as each 
beneficial owner of the shares owned by such designated investment entity would satisfy the 7% ownership limit if those 
beneficial  owners  owned  directly  their  proportionate  share  of  the  common  shares  owned  by  the  designated  investment 
entity.  Our  Board  of  Trustees  may  waive,  and  has  waived  in  the  past,  the  7%  ownership  limit  or  the  9.8%  designated 
investment  entity  limit  for  a  shareholder  that  is  not  an  individual  if  such  shareholder  provides  information  and  makes 
representations to the board that are satisfactory to the board, in its reasonable discretion, to establish that such person’s 
ownership in excess of the 7% limit or the 9.8% limit, as applicable,  would not jeopardize our qualification as a REIT. In 
addition, our declaration of trust contains certain other ownership restrictions intended to prevent us from earning income 
from related parties if such income would cause us to fail to comply with the REIT gross income requirements. The various 
ownership restrictions may: 

 

 

discourage  a  tender  offer  or  other  transactions  or  a  change  in  management  or  control  that  might  involve  a 
premium price for our shares or otherwise be in the best interests of our shareholders; or 

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

20 

 
 
(2)   Our declaration of trust permits our Board of Trustees to issue preferred shares with terms that may discourage 
a third party from acquiring us. Our declaration of trust permits our Board of Trustees to issue up to 40,000,000 preferred 
shares,  having  those  preferences,  conversion  or  other  rights,  voting  powers,  restrictions,  limitations  as  to  distributions, 
qualifications,  or  terms  or  conditions  of  redemption  as  determined  by  our  Board.  Thus,  our  Board  could  authorize  the 
issuance of additional preferred shares with terms and conditions that could have the effect of discouraging a takeover or 
other transaction in  which holders of some or a  majority of our shares might receive a premium for their shares over the 
then-prevailing market price of our shares. In addition, any additional preferred shares that we issue likely would, like our 
Series A Preferred Shares, rank senior to our common shares  with respect to payment of distributions, in  which case we 
could  not  pay  any  distributions  on  our  common  shares  until  full  distributions  were  paid  with  respect  to  such  preferred 
shares. 

(3)   Our declaration of trust and bylaws contain other possible anti-takeover provisions. Our declaration of trust and 
bylaws contain other provisions that  may  have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of  our 
company  or  the  removal  of  existing  management  and,  as  a  result,  could  prevent  our  shareholders  from  being  paid  a 
premium  for  their  common  shares  over  the  then-prevailing  market  prices.  These  provisions  include  advance  notice 
requirements for shareholder proposals and our Board of Trustees’ power to reclassify shares and issue additional common 
shares or preferred shares and the absence of cumulative voting rights. 

Certain provisions of Maryland law could inhibit changes in control.  

Certain provisions of Maryland law may have the effect of inhibiting a third party from making a proposal to acquire 
us or of impeding a change of control under circumstances that otherwise could provide the holders of our common shares 
with the opportunity to realize a premium over the then-prevailing market price of such shares, including:  

 

 

“business combination moratorium/fair price” provisions that, subject to limitations, prohibit certain business 
combinations between us and an “interested shareholder” (defined generally as any person who beneficially 
owns  10%  or  more  of  the  voting  power  of  our  shares  or  an  affiliate  thereof)  for  five  years  after  the  most 
recent date on which the shareholder becomes an interested shareholder, and thereafter imposes stringent fair 
price and super-majority shareholder voting requirements on these combinations; and 

“control share” provisions that provide that “control shares” of our company (defined as shares which, when 
aggregated  with other  shares  controlled by the  shareholder, entitle the  shareholder to exercise one of  three 
increasing ranges of voting power in electing trustees) acquired in a “control share acquisition” (defined as 
the  direct  or  indirect  acquisition  of  ownership  or  control  of  “control  shares”  from  a  party  other  than  the 
issuer) have no voting rights except to the extent approved by our shareholders by the affirmative vote of at 
least  two  thirds  of  all  the  votes  entitled  to  be  cast  on  the  matter,  excluding  all  interested  shares,  and  are 
subject to redemption in certain circumstances. 

We  have  opted  out  of  these  provisions  of  Maryland  law.  However,  our  Board  of  Trustees  may  opt  to  make  these 

provisions applicable to us at any time. 

A  substantial  number  of  common  shares  eligible  for  future  sale  could  cause  our  common  share  price  to  decline 
significantly. 

If  our  shareholders  sell,  or  the  market  perceives  that  our  shareholders  intend  to  sell,  substantial  amounts  of  our 
common shares in the public market, the market price of our common shares could decline  significantly. These sales also 
might make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem 
appropriate.  As  of  December  31,  2013,  we  had  outstanding  130,826,217  common  shares,  and  substantially  all  of  these 
shares are  freely tradable.   In addition, 6,645,784 units of our Operating Partnership are owned by our executive officers 
and other individuals, and are redeemable by the holder for cash or, at our election, common shares. Pursuant to registration 
rights of certain of our executive officers and other individuals, we filed a registration statement with the SEC to register 
common shares issued (or issuable upon redemption of units in our Operating Partnership) in our formation transactions. As 
units are redeemed for common shares, the market price of our common shares could drop significantly if the holders of 
such shares sell them or are perceived by the market as intending to sell them.   

21 

 
 
 
Certain officers and trustees may have interests that conflict with the interests of shareholders.  

Certain of our officers own limited partner units in our Operating Partnership. These individuals may have personal 
interests that conflict with the interests of our shareholders with respect to business decisions affecting us and our Operating 
Partnership,  such  as  interests  in  the  timing  and  pricing  of  property  sales  or  refinancings  in  order  to  obtain  favorable  tax 
treatment.  As a result, the effect of certain transactions on these unit holders may influence our decisions affecting these 
properties.  

Departure or loss of our key officers could have an adverse effect on us.  

Our future success depends, to a significant extent, upon the continued services of our existing executive officers.  Our 
executive officers’ experience in real estate acquisition, development and finance are critical elements of our future success. 
We have employment agreements for one-year terms with each of our executive officers.  These agreements automatically 
renew  for  a  one-year  term  unless  either  we  or  the  officer  elects  not  to  renew  them.    These  agreements  have  been 
automatically renewed for our three executive officers through December 31, 2014.  If one or more of our key executives 
were to die, become disabled or otherwise leave the company's employ, we may not be able to replace this person with an 
executive officer of equal skill, ability, and industry expertise. Until suitable replacements could be identified and hired, if 
at all, our operations and financial condition could be impaired. 

We depend on external capital to fund our capital needs. 

To qualify as a REIT, we are required to distribute to our shareholders each year at least 90% of our  “REIT taxable 
income” (determined before the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains). In order to eliminate federal 
income tax, we are required to distribute annually 100% of our net taxable income, including capital gains. Partly because 
of  these  distribution  requirements,  we  may  not  be  able  to  fund  all  future  capital  needs,  including  capital  for  property 
development  and  acquisitions,  with  income  from  operations.  We  therefore  will  have  to  rely  on  third-party  sources  of 
capital,  which  may or  may  not be available on favorable terms, if at all.   Any additional debt we incur  will increase our 
leverage, expose us to the risk of default and may impose operating restrictions on us, and any additional equity we raise 
could  be  dilutive  to  existing  shareholders.    Our  access  to  third-party  sources  of  capital  depends  on  a  number  of  things, 
including: 

  general market conditions; 

 

the market’s perception of our growth potential;  

  our current debt levels; 
  our current and potential future earnings;  

  our cash flow and cash distributions; 

  our ability to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes; and 

 

the market price of our common shares.  

If  we  cannot  obtain  capital  from  third-party  sources,  we  may  not  be  able  to  acquire  or  develop  properties  when 

strategic opportunities exist, satisfy our principal and interest obligations or make distributions to our shareholders. 

Our rights and the rights of our shareholders to take action against our trustees and officers are limited.  

Maryland law provides that a director or officer has  limited liability in that capacity if he or she performs his or her 
duties in good faith, in a manner he or she reasonably believes to be in our best interests that an ordinarily prudent person in 
a  like  position  would  use  under  similar  circumstances.  Our  declaration  of  trust  and  bylaws  require  us  to  indemnify  our 
trustees and officers for actions taken by them in those capacities to the extent permitted by Maryland law.  

Our shareholders have limited ability to prevent us from making any changes to our policies that they believe could 
harm our business, prospects, operating results or share price.  

22 

 
 
 
Our  Board  of  Trustees  has  adopted  policies  with  respect  to  certain  activities.  These  policies  may  be  amended  or 
revised from time to time at the discretion of our Board of Trustees without a vote of our shareholders. This means that our 
shareholders  will  have  limited  control  over  changes  in  our  policies.  Such  changes  in  our  policies  intended  to  improve, 
expand or diversify our business may not have the anticipated effects and consequently may adversely affect our business 
and prospects, results of operations and share price.  

Our share price could be volatile and could decline, resulting in a substantial or complete loss of our shareholders’ 
investment.   

The  stock  markets  (including  The  New  York  Stock  Exchange,  or  the  “NYSE,”  on  which  we  list  our  common  and 
preferred  shares)  have  experienced  significant  price  and  volume  fluctuations.  The  market  price  of  our  common  and 
preferred  shares  could  be  similarly  volatile,  and  investors  in  our  shares  may  experience  a  decrease  in  the  value  of  their 
shares,  including  decreases  unrelated  to  our  operating  performance  or  prospects.  Among  the  market  conditions  that  may 
affect the market price of our publicly traded securities are the following: 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

our financial condition and operating performance and the performance of other similar companies; 

actual or anticipated differences in our quarterly operating results; 

changes in our revenues or earnings estimates or recommendations by securities analysts; 

publication by securities analysts of research reports about us or our industry; 

additions and departures of key personnel; 

strategic  decisions  by  us  or  our  competitors,  such  as  acquisitions,  divestments,  spin-offs,  joint  ventures, 
strategic investments or changes in business strategy; 

the reputation of REITs generally and the reputation of REITs with portfolios similar to ours; 

the  attractiveness  of  the  securities  of  REITs  in  comparison  to  securities  issued  by  other  entities  (including 
securities issued by other real estate companies); 

an  increase  in  market  interest  rates,  which  may  lead  prospective  investors  to  demand  a  higher  distribution 
rate in relation to the price paid for our shares; 

the passage of legislation or other regulatory developments that adversely affect us or our industry including 
tax reform; 

speculation in the press or investment community; 

actions by institutional shareholders or hedge funds; 

increase or decrease in dividends; 

changes in accounting principles; 

terrorist acts; and 

general market conditions, including factors unrelated to our performance. 

Moreover, an active trading market on the NYSE for our Series A Preferred Shares may not exist or, if it does exist, 
may  not  last,  in  which  case  the  trading  price  of  our  Series  A  Preferred  Shares  could  be  adversely  affected.    In  the  past, 
securities  class  action  litigation  has  often  been  instituted  against  companies  following  periods  of  volatility  in  their  stock 
price. This type of litigation could result in substantial costs and divert our management’s attention and resources. 

Holders of our Series A Preferred Shares have extremely limited voting rights.  

Holders of our Series A Preferred Shares have extremely limited voting rights. Our common shares are the only class 
of  our  equity  securities  carrying  full  voting  rights.  Voting  rights  for  holders  of  Series A  Preferred  Shares  exist  primarily 
with respect to the ability to appoint additional trustees to our Board of Trustees in the event that six quarterly dividends 
(whether  or  not  consecutive)  payable  on  our  Series A  Preferred  Shares  are  in  arrears,  and  with  respect  to  voting  on 
amendments  to  our  declaration  of  trust  or  our  Series A  Preferred  Shares  Articles  Supplementary  that  materially  and 
adversely affect the rights of Series A Preferred Shares holders or create additional classes or series of preferred shares that 
are  senior  to  our  Series A  Preferred  Shares.  Other  than  in  very  limited  circumstances,  holders  of  our  Series A  Preferred 
Shares will not have voting rights.

RISKS RELATED TO THE PROPOSED MERGER 

As discussed elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we have entered into a Merger Agreement with Inland 
Diversified pursuant to which Inland Diversified would merge with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of ours.  There are 
a number of risks to our shareholders related the proposed Merger, which are set forth below. 

The voting power of our shareholders will be diluted by the merger.  

The merger will dilute the ownership position of our shareholders in our company. Upon completion of the 

merger, we estimate that our continuing shareholders will own between 40.6% and 41.4% of the issued and outstanding 
common shares of the combined company, and former Inland Diversified stockholders will own between 58.6% and 59.4% 
of the issued and outstanding common shares of the combined company, in both cases depending on the actual exchange 
ratio. Consequently, our shareholders, as a general matter, will have less influence over the management and policies of the 
combined company after the effective time of the merger than they currently exercise over our management and policies.  

We expect to incur substantial expenses related to the merger.  

We expect to incur substantial expenses in connection with completing the merger and integrating the business, 
operations, networks, systems, technologies, policies and procedures of the two companies. In addition, there are a large 
number of systems of the two companies that will need to be integrated, including property management, revenue 
management, tenant payment, lease administration, website content management, purchasing, accounting, payroll, fixed 
assets and financial reporting, which will require significant expense and diversion of management’s attention from 
operating the business.  

Although we have assumed that a certain level of transaction and integration expenses would be incurred, there are 
a number of factors beyond our control that could affect the total amount or the timing of the integration expenses. Many of 
the expenses that will be incurred, by their nature, are difficult to estimate accurately at the present time. As a result, the 
transaction and integration expenses associated with the merger could, particularly in the near term, exceed the savings that 
we expect to achieve from the elimination of duplicative expenses and the realization of economies of scale and cost 
savings related to the integration of the companies following the completion of the merger. 

Following the merger, we may be unable to integrate our business with Inland Diversified successfully and realize 
the anticipated synergies and other benefits of the merger or do so within the anticipated timeframe.  

The merger involves the combination of two companies that currently operate as independent public companies. 

Although we expect to benefit from certain synergies, including cost savings, we may encounter potential difficulties in the 
integration process including: 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the inability to successfully combine our business with Inland Diversified in a manner that permits us to 
achieve the cost savings anticipated to result from the merger, which would result in the anticipated benefits 
of the merger not being realized in the timeframe currently anticipated or at all;  
the complexities of combining two companies with different histories, cultures, regulatory restrictions, 
markets and tenant bases;  
the risk of not realizing all of the anticipated operating efficiencies or other anticipated strategic and financial 
benefits of the merger within the expected timeframe or at all; 
complexities associated with applying our standards, controls, procedures and policies over a significantly 
larger base of assets; 
potential unknown liabilities and unforeseen increased expenses, delays or regulatory conditions associated 
with the merger; and  
performance shortfalls as a result of the diversion of our management’s attention caused by completing the 
merger and integrating the companies’ operations. 

For all these reasons, it is possible that the integration process could result in the distraction of our management 

team, the disruption of our ongoing business or inconsistencies in our operations, services, standards, controls, procedures 
and policies, any of which could adversely affect our ability to maintain relationships with tenants, vendors and employees 
or to achieve the anticipated benefits of the merger, or could otherwise adversely affect our business and financial results.  

24 

 
 
 
 
Our plan to sell certain of Inland Diversified’s assets subsequent to closing may not close on its expected terms or at 
all, which could adversely impact our leverage and business strategy. 

Following the closing of the merger, we plan to dispose of Inland Diversified’s multifamily assets and Inland 

Diversified’s securities portfolio and utilize the proceeds to reduce our indebtedness. In the event that the merger is 
consummated but our plan to sell certain of Inland Diversified’s assets is not consummated on its expected terms or at all, 
then our leverage will be higher than anticipated. Such an increase in leverage could adversely affect our financial 
condition, results of operations and ability to raise additional capital and its credit ratings. Furthermore, in such event, we 
would own a controlling interest in three multifamily assets and a securities portfolio, which are assets that are not a core 
part of our strategy. Our resulting portfolio of mixed-use assets may not be perceived favorably by analysts and investors, 
which could adversely affect the trading price of our common shares.  Additionally, the Combined Company would be 
subject to various risks associated with owning these assets. 

Our future results will suffer if we do not effectively manage our expanded operations following the merger. 

Following the merger, we expect to continue to expand our operations through additional acquisitions of 

properties, some of which may involve complex challenges. Our future success will depend, in part, upon our ability to 
manage our expansion opportunities, which may pose substantial challenges for us to integrate new operations into our 
existing business in an efficient and timely manner, and upon our ability to successfully monitor our operations, costs, 
regulatory compliance and service quality, and to maintain other necessary internal controls. There is no assurance that our 
expansion or acquisition opportunities will be successful, or that we will realize its expected operating efficiencies, cost 
savings, revenue enhancements, synergies or other benefits.  

The market price of shares of our common shares may be affected by factors different from those affecting our 
common share price before the merger.  

Upon completion of the merger, we estimate that our continuing shareholders will own between 40.6% and 41.4% 

of our issued and outstanding common shares, and former Inland Diversified stockholders will own between 58.6% and 
59.4% of our issued and outstanding common shares.  

Our results of operations, as well as the market price of our common shares after the merger, may be affected by 

factors in addition to those currently affecting our results of operations and the market prices of our common shares. These 
factors include: 

 

 

 
 
 

the possibility that Inland Diversified stockholders, who prior to the merger have held for years Inland 
Diversified common stock which is not traded on a stock exchange and thus is difficult to sell, will quickly 
sell our common shares they receive in the merger and thereby increase the likelihood of a decline in the 
market price of our common shares; 
a greater number of common shares of the combined company outstanding as compared to the number of our 
currently outstanding common shares; 
different shareholders; 
different markets; and   
different assets and capitalizations. 

Accordingly, our historical financial results and the historical market price of our common shares may not be 

indicative of these matters for us after the merger.  

We will have a significant amount of indebtedness following the merger and may need to incur more in the future.  

We will have substantial indebtedness following completion of the Merger, as we expect to assume a substantial 
amount of Inland Diversified’s outstanding indebtedness. The increased amount of such indebtedness could have material 
adverse consequences for the combined company, including:  

 
 

 

hindering our ability to adjust to changing market, industry or economic conditions;  
limiting our ability to access the capital markets to raise additional equity or refinance maturing debt on 
favorable terms or to fund acquisitions or emerging businesses;  
limiting the amount of free cash flow available for future operations, acquisitions, dividends, stock 
repurchases or other uses;  

  making us more vulnerable to economic or industry downturns, including interest rate increases; and  
 

placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to less leveraged competitors.  

25 

 
 
 
 
We may incur adverse tax consequences if Inland Diversified has failed to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income 
tax purposes.  

Inland Diversified has operated in a manner that we believe will allow us to continue to qualify as a REIT for U.S. 
federal income tax purposes under the Internal Revenue Code, and we intend to operate in a manner that we believe allows 
us to qualify as a REIT after the merger. Inland Diversified has not requested and does not plan to request a ruling from the 
IRS that it qualifies as a REIT.  Qualification as a REIT involves the application of highly technical and complex Internal 
Revenue Code provisions for which there are only limited judicial and administrative interpretations.  The determination of 
various factual matters and circumstances not entirely within the control of Inland Diversified may affect its ability to 
qualify as a REIT.  In order to qualify as a REIT, Inland Diversified must satisfy a number of requirements, including 
requirements regarding the ownership of its stock and the composition of its gross income and assets.  Also, Inland 
Diversified must make distributions to stockholders aggregating annually at least 90% of its net taxable income, excluding 
any net capital gains. Even if we retain our REIT status, if Inland Diversified loses its REIT status for a taxable year before 
the merger, we will face serious tax consequences that would substantially reduce our cash available for distribution, 
including cash available to pay dividends to our shareholders, because:  

  we, as the successor by merger to Inland Diversified, would be subject to any corporate income tax liabilities 

 

 

 

 

 

 

of Inland Diversified, including penalties and interest; 
assuming that we otherwise maintained our REIT qualification, we would be subject to tax on the built-in gain 
on each asset of Inland Diversified existing at the time of the merger if we were to dispose of the Inland 
Diversified asset within ten years following the merger;  
assuming that we otherwise maintained our REIT qualification, we would succeed to any earnings and profits 
accumulated by Inland Diversified for taxable periods that it did not qualify as a REIT, and we would have to 
pay a special dividend and/or employ applicable deficiency dividend procedures (including interest payments 
to the IRS) to eliminate such earnings and profits; 
unless we were entitled to relief under applicable statutory provisions, we, as the “successor” trust to Inland 
Diversified, could not elect to be taxed as a REIT until the fifth taxable year following the taxable year during 
which Inland Diversified lost its REIT status;  
depending on the reason for Inland Diversified losing its REIT status, we may elect to use the deficiency 
dividend procedure in order to maintain our REIT status, which may require us to make significant 
distributions (and pay significant interest to the IRS); 
under the “investment company” rules under Section 368 of the Code, if we are an “investment company” and 
“Inland Diversified” is an “investment company,” our failure or the failure of Inland Diversified to qualify as 
a REIT could cause the merger to be taxable to us or Inland Diversified, respectively, and the relevant 
shareholders; and   
if there is an adjustment to Inland Diversified’s taxable income or dividends paid deductions, we could elect 
to use the deficiency dividend procedure in order to maintain Inland Diversified’s REIT status which 
deficiency dividend procedure could require us to make significant distributions to our shareholders and to 
pay significant interest to the IRS. 

As a result of these factors, Inland Diversified’s failure before the merger to qualify as a REIT could impair our 

ability after the merger to expand our business and raise capital, and would materially adversely affect the value of our 
common shares. 

TAX RISKS 

Failure of our company to qualify as a REIT would have serious adverse consequences to us and our shareholders.  

We  believe  that  we  have  qualified  for  taxation  as  a  REIT  for  federal  income  tax  purposes  commencing  with  our 
taxable year ended December 31, 2004.  We intend to continue to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a 
REIT, but we cannot assure shareholders that we will qualify as a REIT. We have not requested and do not plan to request a 
ruling from the IRS that we qualify as a REIT, and the statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are not binding on 
the IRS or any court. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax on our income that we distribute 
currently  to  our  shareholders.  Many  of  the  REIT  requirements,  however,  are  highly  technical  and  complex.  The 
determination that we are a REIT requires an analysis of various factual matters and circumstances that may not be totally 
within our control. For example, to qualify as a REIT, at least 95% of our gross income must come from specific passive 
sources, such as rent, that are itemized in the REIT tax laws. In addition, to qualify as a REIT, we cannot own specified 
amounts of debt and equity securities of some issuers. We also are required to distribute to our shareholders with respect to 

26 

 
 
each year at least 90% of our “REIT taxable income” (determined before the deduction for dividends paid and  excluding 
net capital gains). The fact that we hold substantially all of our assets through our Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries 
and  joint  ventures  further  complicates  the  application  of  the  REIT  requirements  for  us.  Even  a  technical  or  inadvertent 
mistake  could  jeopardize  our  REIT  status  and,  given  the  highly  complex  nature  of  the  rules  governing  REITs  and  the 
ongoing importance of factual determinations, we cannot provide any assurance that we will continue to qualify as a REIT. 
Furthermore, Congress and the  IRS might make changes to the tax laws and regulations, and the courts might issue new 
rulings, that make it more difficult, or impossible, for us to remain qualified as a REIT.  

If we  fail to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, and are unable to avail ourselves of certain savings 
provisions set forth in the Internal Revenue Code, we would be subject to federal income tax at regular corporate rates. As a 
taxable corporation, we would not be allowed to take a deduction for distributions to shareholders in computing our taxable 
income or pass through long term capital gains to individual shareholders at favorable rates. We also could be subject to the 
federal alternative minimum tax and possibly increased state and local taxes. We would not be able to elect to be taxed as a 
REIT  for  four  years  following  the  year  we  first  failed  to  qualify  unless  the  IRS  were  to  grant  us  relief  under  certain 
statutory provisions. If we failed to qualify as a REIT, we would have to pay significant income taxes, which would reduce 
our net earnings available for investment or distribution to our shareholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT, such failure 
would cause an event of default under our unsecured revolving credit facility and may adversely affect our ability to raise 
capital and to service our debt.  This likely would have a significant adverse effect on our earnings and the value of our 
securities. In addition, we would no longer be required to pay any distributions to shareholders. If we fail to qualify as a 
REIT for federal income tax purposes and are able to avail ourselves of one or more of the statutory savings provisions in 
order to maintain our REIT status, we would nevertheless be required to pay penalty taxes of $50,000 or more for each such 
failure.  

We will pay some taxes even if we qualify as a REIT.  

Even if  we qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes,  we  will be required to pay certain federal, state and 
local taxes on our income and property. For example, we will be subject to income tax to the extent we distribute less than 
100% of our REIT taxable income (including capital gains). Additionally, we will be subject to a 4% nondeductible excise 
tax on the amount, if any, by which dividends paid by us in any calendar year are less than the sum of 85% of our ordinary 
income, 95% of our capital gain net income and 100% of our undistributed income from prior years. Moreover, if we have 
net income from “prohibited transactions,” that income will be subject to a 100% tax. In general, prohibited transactions are 
sales  or  other  dispositions  of  property  held  primarily  for  sale  to  customers  in  the  ordinary  course  of  business.  The 
determination as to whether a particular sale is a prohibited transaction depends on the facts and circumstances related to 
that sale. While we will undertake sales of assets if those assets become inconsistent with our long-term strategic or return 
objectives, we do not believe that those sales should be considered prohibited transactions, but there can be no assurance 
that the IRS would not contend otherwise. The need to avoid prohibited transactions could cause us to forego or defer sales 
of properties that might otherwise be in our best interest to sell.  

In  addition,  any  net  taxable  income  earned  directly  by  our  taxable  REIT  subsidiaries,  or  through  entities  that  are 
disregarded  for  federal  income  tax  purposes  as  entities  separate  from  our  taxable  REIT  subsidiaries,  will  be  subject  to 
federal  and  possibly  state  corporate  income  tax.  We  have  elected  to  treat  Kite  Realty  Holdings,  LLC  as  a  taxable  REIT 
subsidiary, and  we  may elect to treat other subsidiaries as  taxable REIT subsidiaries in the future. In this regard, several 
provisions of the laws applicable to REITs and their subsidiaries ensure that a taxable REIT subsidiary will be subject to an 
appropriate  level  of  federal  income  taxation.  For  example,  a  taxable  REIT  subsidiary  is  limited  in  its  ability  to  deduct 
interest payments made to an affiliated REIT. In addition, the REIT has to pay a 100% penalty tax on some payments that it 
receives or on some deductions taken by the taxable REIT subsidiaries if the economic arrangements between the REIT, the 
REIT’s  tenants,  and  the  taxable  REIT  subsidiary  are  not  comparable  to  similar  arrangements  between  unrelated  parties. 
Finally, some state and local jurisdictions may tax some of our income even though as a REIT we are not subject to federal 
income tax on that income because not all states and localities treat REITs the same way they are treated for federal income 
tax purposes. To the extent that we and our affiliates are required to pay federal, state and local taxes, we will have less 
cash available for distributions to our shareholders.  

REIT distribution requirements may increase our indebtedness. 

We may be required from time to time, under certain circumstances, to accrue income for tax purposes that has not yet 
been received. In such event, or upon our repayment of principal on debt, we could have taxable income without sufficient 

27 

 
 
cash to enable us to meet the distribution requirements of a REIT. Accordingly, we could be required to borrow funds or 
liquidate investments on adverse terms in order to meet these distribution requirements. 

Dividends paid by REITs generally do not qualify for reduced tax rates. 

The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 (“ATRA”) was enacted on January 3, 2013.  Under ATRA, for taxable 
years beginning in 2013, for noncorporate taxpayers, the  maximum rate applicable to “qualified dividend income” paid by 
regular “C” corporations to U.S. shareholders  generally is 20%, and there is no certainty as to how long this rate will be 
applicable.  Dividends payable by REITs, however, generally are not eligible for the current reduced rate. Although ATRA 
does not adversely affect the taxation of REITs or dividends payable by REITs, it could cause non-corporate taxpayers to 
perceive investments in REITs to be relatively less attractive than investments in the stocks of regular “C” corporations that 
pay dividends, which could adversely affect the value of the shares of REITs, including our common shares.

Our management and Board of Trustees will continue to evaluate our distribution policy on a quarterly basis as they 
monitor the  capital  markets and the impact of  the economy on  our operations.   Future  distributions  will be declared and 
paid  at  the  discretion  of  our  Board  of  Trustees,  and  will  depend  upon  a  number  of  factors,  including  cash  generated  by 
operating  activities,  our  financial  condition,  capital  requirements,  annual  distribution  requirements  under  the  REIT 
provisions  of  the  Internal  Revenue  Code  of  1986,  as  amended,  and  such  other  factors  as  our  Board  of  Trustees  deem 
relevant.  

Distributions by us to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes 
will be taxable to shareholders as either ordinary dividend income or capital gain income if so declared by us.  Distributions 
in excess of taxable earnings and profits generally will be treated as a non-taxable return of capital.  These distributions, to 
the extent that they do not exceed the shareholder’s adjusted tax basis in its common shares, have the effect of deferring 
taxation  until  the  sale  of  a  shareholder’s  common  shares.    To  the  extent  that  distributions  are  both  in  excess  of  taxable 
earnings  and  profits  and  in  excess  of  the  shareholder’s  adjusted  tax  basis  in  its  common  shares,  the  distribution  will  be 
treated as gain from the sale  of common shares.  In order to maintain our qualification as a REIT, we must make annual 
distributions to shareholders of at least 90% of our “REIT taxable income” (determined before the deduction for dividends 

43 

 
 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
paid  and  excluding  net  capital  gains)  and  we  must  make  distributions  to  shareholders  equal  to  100%  of  our  net  taxable 
income to eliminate federal income tax liability.  Under certain circumstances, we could be required to make distributions 
in excess of cash available for distributions in order to meet such requirements.  For the taxable year ended December 31, 
2013, approximately 81% of our distributions to shareholders constituted a return of capital, approximately 19% constituted 
taxable ordinary income dividends and approximately 0% constituted taxable capital gains.  

Under our unsecured revolving credit facility, we are permitted to make distributions to our shareholders that do not 
exceed 95% of our Funds From Operations (“FFO”) provided that no event of default exists. If an event of default exists, 
we may only make distributions sufficient to maintain our REIT status.  However, we may not make any distributions if 
any event of default resulting from nonpayment or bankruptcy exists, or if our obligations under the  unsecured revolving 
credit facility are accelerated. 

Issuer Repurchases; Unregistered Sales of Securities 

We did not repurchase any of our common shares or sell any unregistered securities in 2013.

In December 2011, we sold our Martinsville Shops operating property.  The operations of this property are reflected as discontinued operations for each of the 
years presented above. 

In December 2009, we conveyed the title to Galleria Plaza operating property to the ground lessor.  We had determined during the third quarter of 2009 that 
there was no value to the improvements and intangibles related to Galleria Plaza and recognized a non-cash impairment charge of $5.4 million to write off the 
net book value of the property.  Since we ceased operating this property during the fourth quarter of 2009 we reclassified the non-cash impairment loss and 
the operating results related to this property to discontinued operations.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF 
OPERATIONS 

The  following  discussion  should  be  read  in  conjunction  with  the  accompanying  audited  consolidated  financial 
statements and related notes thereto and Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-
K. In this discussion, unless the context suggests otherwise, references to the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” mean Kite 
Realty Group Trust and its subsidiaries. 

Overview 

In the following overview, we discuss, among other things, the status of our business and properties, the effect  that 
current  United  States  economic  conditions  is  having  on  our  retail  tenants  and  us,  and  the  current  state  of  the  financial 
markets and how it impacts our financing strategy. 

Our Business and Properties 

Kite  Realty  Group  Trust,  through  its  majority-owned  subsidiary,  Kite  Realty  Group,  L.P.,  is  engaged  in  the 
ownership,  operation,  management,  leasing,  acquisition,  construction,  redevelopment,  and  development  of  neighborhood 
and community shopping centers and certain commercial real estate properties in selected markets in the United States. We 
derive revenues primarily from rents and reimbursement payments received from tenants under existing leases at each of 
our  properties.  Our  operating  results  therefore  depend  materially  on  the  ability  of  our  tenants  to  make  required  rental 
payments, conditions in the United States retail sector and overall real estate market conditions.  

As  of  December  31,  2013,  we  owned  interests  in  a  portfolio  of  70  operating  and  redevelopment  retail  properties 
totaling 12.0 million square feet of gross leasable area (including non-owned anchor space) and also owned interests in two 
operating  commercial  properties  totaling  0.4  million  square  feet  of  net  rentable  area  and  an  associated  parking  garage.  
Also,  as  of  December  31,  2013,  we  had  an  interest  in  two  development  projects  under  construction,  which,  upon 
completion, are anticipated to have 0.8 million square feet of gross leasable area (including non-owned anchor space).   

In addition, we have one future development project pending commencement of construction that is undergoing pre-
development activity and is in preparation for construction to commence, including pre-leasing activity and negotiations for 
third-party financing.  As of December 31, 2013, this future development project is expected to contain 0.2 million square 
feet of gross leasable area upon completion.

Finally,  as  of  December  31, 2013,  we  also  owned  interests  in  other  land  parcels  comprising  131  acres  that  may  be 
used for future expansion of existing properties, development of new retail or commercial properties or sold to third parties. 
These land parcels are classified as “Land held for development” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. 

Current Economic Conditions and Impact on Our Retail Tenants 

Economic conditions continued to improve in the United States for businesses, consumers, housing and credit markets 
throughout 2013. Uncertainties about a sustained economic recovery remain due to continued challenges including mixed 
employment data, health care reform, U.S. Federal Reserve policy, and concerns over the U.S. federal government’s ability 
to respond to these challenges.  Despite these uncertain conditions, consumer and retailer sentiment continued to improve. 
In addition, certain retailers continue to announce plans to increase their store openings over the next 24 months.  However, 
there  is  no  certainty  that  these  trends  will  continue  and  a  number  of  factors  could  impact  consumer  spending  at  stores 
owned and/or operated by our retail tenants, including, among others: 

  Macroeconomic  Conditions:  Global  economic  and  market  concerns  receded  during  2013.    Capital  market 
conditions  have  continued  to  improve  with  increased  access  to  and  availability  of  equity  markets  and 
unsecured  and  secured  debt.    Business  and  consumer  confidence  continues  to  improve  as  evidenced  by  a 
growth  in  gross  domestic  product  over  the  second  half  of  2013.    Reports  of  consumer  spending  were 
generally positive as job growth continues to increase.   

 

Increasing Home Values and Improving Residential Construction: U.S. home values improved as residential 
real estate market conditions benefited from increased home sales and increased new residential construction 
though the improvement started to slow towards the end of 2013.   

  Continued Lower Labor Participation Rates: The U.S. unemployment rate declined in 2013 but continues to 
be higher than historical levels.  Continued high unemployment rates  and  low  employee participation rates 
could cause decreases in consumer spending, thereby negatively affecting the businesses of our retail tenants.  
We  continue  to  focus  on  markets  where  household  income  within  a  five-mile  radius  of  our  properties  is 
higher than statewide levels.   

During  2013,  job  growth  and  consumer  spending  continued  to  slightly  improve,  but  there  is  no  certainty  that  this 
improvement  will  continue.    In  addition,  some  retailers  reported  lower  margins  resulting  from  the  holiday  season.  
Additionally,  it  is  uncertain  whether  these  conditions  will  continue  to  improve,  level  off,  or  reverse  themselves.  Lower 
consumer spending has a negative impact on the businesses of our retail tenants.  While we did experience strong leasing 
activity in 2013, to the extent the above-described conditions persist or deteriorate further, our tenants may be required to 
curtail or cease their operations, which could materially and negatively affect our business in general, and our cash flow, in 
particular.   

Impact of Economy on REITs, Including Us 

As  an  owner  and  developer  of  community  and  neighborhood  shopping  centers,  our  operating  and  financial 
performance is directly affected by economic conditions in the retail sector of those markets in which our operating centers 
and  development  properties  are  located,  including  the  states  of  Indiana,  Florida  and  Texas,  where  the  majority  of  our 
operating  properties  are  located.    As  discussed  above,  due  to  the  continued  instability  and  uncertainty  facing  U.S. 
consumers, the operations of many of our retail tenants  could be negatively affected.  This could in turn have a negative 
impact on our business based on, but not limited to, the following: 

  Difficulty  in  Collecting  Rent;  Rent  Adjustments.    When  consumers  decrease  their  spending,  our  tenants 
typically experience decreased revenues and cash flows.  This makes it more difficult for some of our  local 
and regional tenants to pay their rent obligations, which is the primary source of our revenues.  Our tenants’ 
decreased cash flows  may be even  more pronounced if they are unable to obtain financing to operate  their 
businesses.  Such  decreases  or,  if  granted,  deferrals  in  tenants’  rent  obligations  could  negatively  affect  our 
cash flows.  

  Termination of Leases.  If our tenants find it difficult to meet their rental obligations, they may be forced to 
terminate their leases with us.  During 2013, tenants at some of our properties terminated their leases with us.  

48 

 
 
In some cases, we were able to secure replacement tenants at rental rates comparable to or greater than the 
rates of the terminated tenants.  In other cases, we were not able to do so.   

  Tenant  Bankruptcies.  The  number  of  bankruptcies  by  U.S.  businesses  has  decreased  from  the  historically 
high  levels  experienced  during  recent  years.    While  we  have  seen  a  decrease  over  the  past  year  in  tenant 
bankruptcies, there is no assurance that this decrease will continue.   

  Decrease  in  Demand  for  Retail  Space.    Demand  for  retail  space  at  our  shopping  centers  and  at  our 
development  and  redevelopment  projects  continued  to  improve  in  2013,  most  notably  from  national  and 
regional retailers.  Demand from local, small shop merchants has increased at a slower pace, reflecting the 
difficulty such potential tenants have securing financing for working capital and expansion plans.  While our 
leasing activity remained high and the overall  leased percentage of our retail  shopping centers increased in 
2013,  overall  demand  for  retail  space  may  not  continue  and  may  decline  in  the  future  until  job  growth, 
consumer confidence, and the general economy stabilize for an extended period of time.   

Financing Strategy; 2014 Debt Maturities 

Our ability to obtain  financing on satisfactory terms and to refinance borrowings as they  mature  is affected by the 
condition  of  the  economy  in  general  and  by  instability  of  the  financial  markets  in  particular.  Our  2014  debt  maturities, 
excluding annual principal payments, total $86 million and consist of property-level debt or construction loans.   We are 
pursuing financing alternatives to enable us to repay, refinance, or extend the maturity date of these loans. 

Based  on  our  favorable  experience  with  refinancing  of  property-level  debt  and  the  improvements  in  the  lending 
environment  over the last couple of  years,  we believe  we  will be able to satisfactorily  address  our  2014 debt  maturities; 
however,  we  cannot  provide  assurances  about  our  ability  to  do  so.    Failure  to  comply  with  our  obligations  under  these 
various property-level loan agreements could cause an event of default, which, among other things, could result in the loss 
of title to assets securing such loans, the acceleration of principal and interest payments, termination of the debt facilities, 
exposure to the risk of foreclosure, or charges to our earnings.   

We believe we have good relationships with a number of banks and other financial institutions that will allow us to 
continue  our  strategy  of  refinancing  our  borrowings  with  the  existing  lenders  or  replacement  lenders.    However,  it  is 
imperative that we identify alternative sources of financing and other capital in the event we are not able to refinance these 
loans  on  satisfactory  terms,  or  at  all.  If  we  are  not  able  to  refinance  or  extend  these  loans,  our  financial  condition  and 
liquidity could be adversely impacted.  It is also important for us to obtain additional financing in order to complete our  in-
process development and redevelopment projects.  

Throughout  the  year,  we  strengthened  our  balance  sheet  through  the  acquisition  of  thirteen  unencumbered  retail 
properties.  These acquisitions significantly increased the value of the Company’s unencumbered property pool and created 
additional liquidity.  In addition, we increased our flexibility by expanding the borrowing capacity on our Term Loan from 
$125 million to $230 million.  This enabled us to free up availability on our unsecured revolving credit facility along with 
reducing our borrowing costs and further staggering our debt maturities. 

In February, we amended our $200 million unsecured revolving credit agreement by, among other things, extending 
its maturity date to February 26, 2018, which maturity date may be extended for an additional year at our option, subject to 
certain conditions, and reducing the borrowing rate.    

As of December 31, 2013, we had a combined $69 million of available liquidity in the form of availability under our 
unsecured revolving credit facility ($51 million) and on-hand cash and cash equivalents ($18 million).  In addition, there 
are  five unencumbered assets that  would provide  approximately $135 million of additional borrowing capacity under the 
unsecured  revolving  credit  if  they  were  contributed  to  the  unencumbered  property  pool  and  the  accordion  feature  was 
exercised.   

Obtaining new financing is also important to our business due to the capital needs of our existing development and 
redevelopment  projects.  As  of  December  31,  2013,  the  unfunded  amount  of  the  total  estimated  projects  costs  of  our 
development  and  redevelopment  projects  under  construction  was  approximately  $61  million.  While  we  believe  we  will 
have access to sufficient funding to be able to complete these projects through a combination of existing construction loans 

49 

 
 
and  uses  of  our  available  liquidity  (which,  as  noted  above,  was  $69  million  as  of  December  31,  2013),  adverse  market 
conditions may make it more costly and difficult to raise additional capital, if necessary. 

Summary of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates  

Our  significant  accounting  policies  are  more  fully  described  in  Note  2  to  the  accompanying  consolidated  financial 
statements.    As  disclosed  in  Note  2,  the  preparation  of  financial  statements  in  accordance  with  U.S.  generally  accepted 
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts 
reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  We believe 
that the following discussion addresses our most critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to the 
compilation of our financial condition and results of operations and require  management’s  most difficult, subjective, and 
complex judgments.   

Capitalization of Certain Pre-Development and Development Costs  

We incur costs prior to vertical construction and for certain land held for development, including acquisition contract 
deposits as well as legal, engineering, cost of internal resources and other external professional fees related to evaluating 
the feasibility of developing a shopping center or other project.  These pre-development costs are capitalized and included 
in  construction  in  progress  in  the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheets.   If  we  determine  that  the  completion  of  a 
development project is no longer probable, all previously incurred pre-development costs are immediately expensed.   

We also capitalize costs such as construction, interest, real estate taxes, and  the costs of personnel directly involved 
with the development of our properties.  As a portion of  a development property becomes operational, we expense a pro 
rata amount of related costs.  

Impairment of Investment Properties  

Management reviews both operational and development projects, land parcels and intangible assets for impairment on 
at  least  a  quarterly  basis  or  whenever  events  or  changes  in  circumstances  indicate  that  the  carrying  value  may  not  be 
recoverable.    The  review  for  possible  impairment  requires  management  to  make  certain  assumptions  and  estimates  and 
requires  significant  judgment.    Impairment  losses  for  investment  properties  and  intangible  assets  are  measured  when  the 
undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by the investment properties during the expected holding period are less 
than  the  carrying  amounts  of  those  assets.    Impairment  losses  are  recorded  as  the  excess  of  the  carrying  value  over  the 
estimated fair value of the asset.  Our impairment review for land and development properties assumes we have the intent 
and the ability to complete the developments or projected uses for the land parcels.  If we determine those plans will not be 
completed  or  our  assumptions  with  respect  to  operating  assets  are  not  realized,  an  impairment  loss  may  be  appropriate. 
Management  does  not  believe  any  investment  properties,  development  assets,  or  land  parcels  were  impaired  as  of 
December 31, 2013. 

Depreciation  may be accelerated for a  redevelopment project including partial demolition of existing structure after 

the asset is assessed for impairment. 

Operating properties held for sale include only those properties available for immediate sale in their present condition 
and for which management believes it is probable that a sale of the property will be completed within one year, amongst 
other factors. Operating properties are carried at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Depreciation and 
amortization  are  suspended  during  the  held-for-sale  period.    The  Company  has  classified  the  50th  &  12th  investment 
property as held for sale as of December 31, 2013. 

Our  operating  properties  have  operations  and  cash  flows  that  can  be  clearly  distinguished  from  the  rest  of  our 
activities.  The  operations  reported  in  discontinued  operations  include  those  operating  properties  that  were  sold  or  were 
considered held-for-sale and for which operations and cash flows can be clearly distinguished. The operations from these 
properties are eliminated from ongoing operations, and we will not have a continuing involvement  after disposition. When 
material,  current  and  prior  period  operating  results  are  reclassified  to  reflect  the  operations  of  these  properties  as 
discontinued operations.

Purchase Accounting 

We measure  identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interests in an acquiree at fair 
value  on  the  acquisition  date,  with  goodwill  being  the  excess  value  over  the  net  identifiable  assets  acquired.    In  making 
estimates of fair values for the purpose of allocating purchase price, a number of sources are utilized, including information 
obtained as a result of pre-acquisition due diligence, marketing and leasing activities.  

A portion of the purchase price is allocated to tangible assets and intangibles, including: 

 

 

 

the  fair value of the building  on an as-if-vacant basis and to land determined either by  comparable  market 
data, real estate tax assessments, independent appraisals or other relevant data; 

above-market and below-market in-place lease values for acquired properties are based on the present value 
(using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between 
(i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) management’s estimate of fair 
market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over the remaining non-cancelable term of 
the  leases.    Any  below-market  renewal  options  are  also  considered  in  the  in-place  lease  values.    The 
capitalized above-market and below-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of or addition to rental 
income over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases.  Should a tenant vacate, terminate 
its lease, or otherwise notify us of its intent to do so, the unamortized portion of the lease intangibles would 
be charged or credited to income; and 

the value of leases acquired.  We utilize independent sources for its estimates to determine the respective in-
place  lease  values.    Our  estimates  of  value  are  made  using  methods  similar  to  those  used  by  independent 
appraisers.    Factors  we  consider  in  our  analysis  include  an  estimate  of  costs  to  execute  similar  leases 
including  tenant  improvements,  leasing  commissions  and  foregone  costs  and  rent  received  during  the 
estimated lease-up period as if the space was  vacant.  The value of in-place leases is amortized to expense 
over the remaining initial terms of the respective leases. 

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

Revenue Recognition 

As lessor, we retain substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the investment properties and account 

for our leases as operating leases. 

Base  minimum  rents  are  recognized  on  a  straight-line  basis  over  the  terms  of  the  respective  leases.    Certain  lease 
agreements  contain  provisions  that  grant  additional  rents  based  on  a  tenant’s  sales  volume  (contingent  percentage  rent). 
Overage rent is recognized when tenants achieve the specified targets as defined in their lease agreements.  Overage rent is 
included  in  other  property  related  revenue  in  the  accompanying  statements  of  operations.    An  allowance  for  doubtful 
accounts  is  maintained  for  estimated  losses  resulting  from  the  inability  of  certain  tenants  or  others  to  meet  contractual 
obligations under their lease or other agreements. 

Gains  from  sales  of  real  estate  are  not  recognized  unless  a  sale  has  been  consummated,  the  buyer’s  initial  and 
continuing investment is adequate to demonstrate a commitment to pay for the property, we have transferred to the buyer 
the  usual  risks  and  rewards  of  ownership,  and  we  do  not  have  a  substantial  continuing  financial  involvement  in  the 
property.   As part of our ongoing business strategy, we will, from time to time, sell land parcels and outlots, some of which 
are ground leased to tenants, on a case by case basis. 

Fair Value Measurements  

Fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement.  Therefore, a fair value measurement 
should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.  The fair 

51 

 
 
value  hierarchy  distinguishes  between  market  participant  assumptions  based  on  market  data  obtained  from  sources 
independent  of  the  reporting  entity  (observable  inputs  for  identical  instruments  that  are  classified  within  Level  1  and 
observable  inputs  for  similar  instruments  that  are  classified  within  Level  2)  and  the  reporting  entity’s  own  assumptions 
about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3).   

As further discussed in Note 12 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the only assets or liabilities 
that  we  record  at  fair  value  on  a  recurring  basis  are  interest  rate  hedge  agreements.    The  valuation  is  determined  using 
widely  accepted  techniques  including  discounted  cash  flow  analysis,  which  considers  the  contractual  terms  of  the 
derivatives  (including  the  period  to  maturity)  and  uses  observable  market-based  inputs  such  as  interest  rate  curves  and 
implied volatilities.  We also incorporate credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both our own nonperformance 
risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements.   

Note 3 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements includes a discussion of fair values recorded when the 
Company  acquired  a  controlling  interest  in  Parkside  Town  Commons  development  project.    Level  3  inputs  to  this 
transaction include our estimations of the fair value of the real estate and related assets acquired. 

Note 5 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements includes a discussion of fair values recorded when the 
Company  recorded  an  impairment  charge  on  its  Kedron  Village  property.    Level  3  inputs  to  this  transaction  include  our 
estimations of market leasing rates, discount rates, holding period, and disposal values. 

Note 11 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements includes a discussion of the fair values recorded in 
purchase  accounting.    Level  3  inputs  to  these  acquisitions  include  our  estimations  of  market  leasing  rates,  tenant-related 
costs, discount rates, and disposal values.   

Income Taxes and REIT Compliance 

We  are  considered  a  corporation  for  federal  income  tax  purposes  and  we  have  been  organized  and  we  intend  to 
continue to operate in a manner that will enable us to maintain our qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. 
As  a  result,  we  generally  will  not  be  subject  to  federal  income  tax  on  the  earnings  that  we  distribute  to  the  extent  we 
distribute our “REIT taxable income” (determined before the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains) 
to our shareholders and meet certain other requirements on a recurring basis.  To the extent that we satisfy this distribution 
requirement, but distribute less than 100% of our taxable income, we will be subject to federal corporate income tax on our 
undistributed REIT taxable income.  REITs are subject to a number of organizational and operational requirements.  If we 
fail  to  qualify  as  a  REIT  in  any  taxable  year,  we  will  be  subject  to  federal  income  tax  on  our  taxable  income  at  regular 
corporate rates.  We may also be subject to certain federal, state and local taxes on our income and property and to federal 
income and excise taxes on our undistributed income even if we do qualify as a REIT.   

Results of Operations 

At  December  31,  2013,  we  owned  interests  in  72  properties  (consisting  of  66  retail  operating  properties,  4  retail 
redevelopment properties, and two commercial operating properties).  Also, as of December 31, 2013, we had an interest in 
two  development  projects  that  were  under  construction  and  one  development  project  that  has  not  yet  commenced 
construction. 

At  December  31,  2012,  we  owned  interests  in  60  properties  (consisting  of  54  retail  operating  properties,  4  retail 
redevelopment properties, and two commercial operating properties).  Also, as of December 31, 2012, we had an interest in 
three  development  projects  that  were  under  construction  and  three  development  projects  that  had  not  yet  commenced 
construction. 

At December 31, 2011, we owned interests in 63 properties (consisting of 54 retail operating properties, five retail 
redevelopment properties, and four commercial operating properties).  Also, as of December 31, 2011, we had an interest in 
three  development  projects  that  were  under  construction  and  three  development  projects  that  had  not  yet  commenced 
construction. 

The  comparability  of  results  of  operations  is  affected  by  our  development,  redevelopment,  and  operating  property 
acquisition  and  disposition  activities  in  2011  through  2013.    Therefore,  we  believe  it  is  most  useful  to  review  the 

52 

 
 
comparisons of our results of operations for these years (as set forth below under “Comparison of Operating Results for the 
Years  Ended  December 31,  2013  and  2012”  and  “Comparison  of  Operating  Results  for  the  Years  Ended  December 31, 
2012 and 2011”) in conjunction with the discussion of our development, redevelopment, and operating property acquisition 
and disposition activities during those periods, which is set forth directly below.

We held a 50% interest in this unconsolidated joint venture. In November 2011, the joint venture sold this 
property for $17.5 million, resulting in a total gain on sale of $8.3 million. We used our share of the net 
proceeds to pay down borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility. Our share of the gain on 
sale was $4.3 million, including related tax effects.

substantial completion of redevelopment activities. 

LA Fitness  is expected to open in the 1st quarter of 2014 and  will anchor the  center along  with  Academy 
Sports and Outdoors. 

We purchased this property in February 2008 with the intent to redevelop. The property was substantially 
completed  and  transitioned  to  the  operating  portfolio  in  December  2011.    The  center  is  anchored  by 
Nordstrom Rack, The Container Store, Buy Buy Baby, Arhaus Furniture, and BGI Fitness.   

Publix has notified the Company it will vacate upon the expiration of its lease in May 2014.   

The  property  was  substantially  completed  and  transitioned  to  the  operating  portfolio  in  December  2013.  
The center is anchored by Walgreens, Grocery Outlet, and Johnson’s Do-It-Center.   

We  purchased  this  property  in  February  2011.    Subsequent  to  the  acquisition,  we  executed  a  lease 
termination agreement with the existing tenant and executed a lease with new anchor Whole Foods.  This 
tenant  opened  in  the  second  quarter  of  2012,  and  the  property  was  transitioned  back  to  the  operating 
portfolio in December 2012.  

In  February  2011,  we  completed  the  acquisition  of  the  remaining  40%  interest  in  this  property.    In  May 
2012, we executed a lease with Earth Fare, a specialty grocer, and transitioned this center to an in-process 
redevelopment.  The property was substantially completed and transitioned to the operating portfolio in June 
2013. 

In August 2013, we commenced the redevelopment of a new and upgraded Publix grocery store.  The new 
store is expected to open in the 2nd quarter of 2014. 

In May 2013, we transitioned this property to redevelopment upon the expiration of Wal-Mart’s lease.  The 
Company is currently evaluating leasing and site plans for the redevelopment and anticipate signing leases 
with two national anchor tenants. 

Same Property Net Operating Income 

The  Company  believes  that  Net  Operating  Income  (“NOI”)  is  helpful  to  investors  as  a  measure  of  its  operating 
performance  because  it  excludes  various  items  included  in  net  income  that  do  not  relate  to  or  are  not  indicative  of  its 
operating performance, such as depreciation and amortization, interest expense,  asset sale gains/losses, and impairment, if 
any.  The  Company  believes  that  Same  Property  NOI  is  helpful  to  investors  as  a  measure  of  its  operating  performance 
because  it  includes  only  the  NOI  of  properties  that  have  been  owned  and  operating  for  the  full  period  presented,  which 
eliminates disparities in net income due to the redevelopment, acquisition or disposition of properties during the particular 
period  presented,  and  thus  provides  a  more  consistent  metric  for  the  comparison  of  the  Company's  properties.  NOI  and 
Same  Property  NOI  should  not,  however,  be  considered  as  alternatives  to  net  income  (calculated  in  accordance  with 
GAAP) as indicators of the Company's financial performance. 

The following table reflects same property net operating income (and reconciliation to net loss attributable to common 

shareholders) for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012:

Excluding  the  changes  due  to  transitioned  development  properties,  acquired  properties,  and  the  properties  under 

redevelopment, the net $2.3 million increase in rental income for our properties was primarily related to the following:  

  Improvement  in  base  rental  revenue  due  to  improved  occupancy  levels  at  operating  properties  including  anchor 
leases at our Cedar Hill Plaza, Rivers Edge, and Cobblestone Plaza operating properties along with improved rent 
spreads on new and renewal leases; and 

  Increased recovery income due to increase in recoverable property operating expenses and real estate taxes of $1.5 

million along with higher recovery rates due to improved occupancy levels. 

For  the  overall  portfolio,  the  recovery  ratio  improved  from  77.1%  in  2012  to  78.3%  in  2013,  due  to  the  improved 
occupancy level of the operating portfolio.  The gross recovery ratio is computed by dividing tenant reimbursements by the 
sum of recoverable property operating expense and real estate tax expense. 

Other property related revenue primarily consists of gains from land sales, lease settlement income, parking revenues, 
and percentage rent. This revenue increased $7.4 million, or 183%, primarily as a result of higher gains from land sales of 
$5.5 million (including a pre-tax increase of $0.9 million related to sales of residential units at Eddy Street Commons) and 
higher lease termination fees of $1.8 million.  The Company recorded a gain on an outlot sale at Cobblestone Plaza of $3.9 
million  in  2013.      The  majority  of  the  termination  fee  relates  to  a  former  anchor  tenant  at  Bayport  Commons  where  a 
replacement anchor commenced in November 2013. 

Property operating expenses increased between years by $5.0 million, or 29.7%, due to the following: 

Excluding  the  changes  due  to  transitioned  development  properties,  acquired  properties,  and  the  properties  under 
redevelopment,  the  net  $1.2  million  increase  in  property  operating  expenses  for  our  properties  was  primarily  due  to  the 
following: 

 

 

 

$0.5 million net increase in repairs and maintenance at a number of our operating properties in 2013; 

$0.3 million increase in insurance due to higher costs at our Florida properties.  The majority of this increase is 
recoverable from tenants;  

$0.2 million increase in snow removal costs.  The majority of this increase is recoverable from tenants; and 

  The changes in other categories of expense were not individually significant. 

Real estate taxes increased $2.4 million, or 18.7%, due to the following:

Excluding  the  changes  due  to  transitioned  development  properties,  acquired  properties,  and  the  properties  under 
redevelopment,  the  net  $0.3  million  increased  in  real  estate  taxes  for  our  properties  was  primarily  due  to  increases  in 
assessments at certain operating properties.  The majority of the increases and decreases in our real estate tax expense from 
increased assessments and subsequent appeals is recoverable from (or reimbursable to) tenants and, therefore, reflected in 
tenant reimbursement revenue. 

General,  administrative  and  other  expenses  increased  $1.1  million,  or  15.4%,  due  primarily  to  an  increase  in 
personnel-related expenses related to increase in the size of the portfolio along with an increase in other public company-
related costs.   

Acquisition  costs  increased  $1.9  million  due  to  the  higher  acquisition  volume  in  2013  compared  to  2012.    The 

Company acquired thirteen properties in 2013 compared to 4 properties in 2012. 

In  2012, the Company recorded a litigation charge, net of  $1.0 million.  This relates to the damages and attorney’s 
fees related to a claim by a former tenant net of certain recoveries.  See additional discussion in Note 4 to the accompanying 
consolidated financial statements. 

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $15.6 million, or 40.3%, due to the following:  

The overall increase of $15.6 million was due to the following significant items: 

  An increase of $9.5 million related to the properties acquired during 2012 and 2013; 

  An  increase  of  $4.7  million  related  to  the  redevelopment  of  our  Bolton  Plaza  and  King’s  Lake  Square 
properties due to accelerated depreciation recorded in 2013.  Redevelopment plans for these properties were 
finalized during 2013, resulting in a reduction of the useful life of certain assets that were demolished;  

  A decrease of $3.8 million related to the redevelopment of our Four Corner Square and Rangeline Crossing 
operating  properties  due  to  accelerated  depreciation  recorded  in  2012.    Redevelopment  plans  for  these 
properties were finalized during the first  half of 2012, resulting in a reduction of the  useful life  of certain 
assets that were demolished; and 

  The remaining increase is due to additional assets placed in-service related to anchor retenanting at certain 

of our operating properties. 

Interest  expense  increased  $4.6  million,  or  19.7%.    This  increase  was  due  to  the  transfer  of  substantial  portions  of 
assets at Delray Marketplace, Holly Springs Towne Center, Rangeline Crossing, and Four Corner Square from construction

in  progress  to  depreciable  fixed  assets  based  on  the  proportion  of  tenants  opening  for  business,  which  resulted  in  a 
reduction in capitalized interest.   

Income tax expense of our taxable REIT subsidiary  was $0.3 million in 2013 compared to an income tax  benefit of 

$0.1 million in 2012.  The expense in 2013 was due to higher taxable sales of residential units at Eddy Street Commons. 

The  2012  $8.0  million  remeasurement  loss  on  consolidation  of  Parkside  Town  Commons,  net  relates  to  the 
acquisition of our partner’s interest in the Parkside Town Commons joint venture.  See additional discussion in  Note 3 to 
the accompanying consolidated financial statements.   

Within  discontinued  operations,  the  Company  recorded  an  impairment  charge  of  $5.4  million  and  a  gain  on  debt 
extinguishment of $1.2 million related to the disposal of our Kedron Village property in  2013.  Excluding this activity, the 
Company had a loss related to discontinued operations of $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to 
income of $0.7 million for the  year ended December 31, 2012.  The Company sold multiple properties in 2012  for a net 
gain of $7.1 million compared to one property in 2013for a net gain of $0.5 million.  See additional discussion in Note 5 to 
the consolidated financial statements. 

Net  loss  attributable  to  noncontrolling  interests  was  $0.7  million  in  2013  compared  to  net  income  attributable  to 
noncontrolling interests was $0.6 million in 2012.  The fluctuation was due to the allocation of our partner’s share of the 
gain on the sale of our Gateway Shopping Center operating property near Seattle, Washington.     

Dividends on preferred shares increased $0.5 million.  The increase was due to our completion of a public offering of 

1,300,000 shares of 8.25% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Shares in March 2012.

Rental income (including tenant reimbursements) increased $7.6 million, or 9.0%, due to the following: 

Excluding  the  changes  due  to  transitioned  development  properties,  acquired  properties,  and  properties  under 

redevelopment, the net $1.2 million increase in rental income for our properties was primarily related to the following:  

  Improvement  in  base  rental  revenue  due  to  improved  occupancy  levels  at  operating  properties  including  anchor 
leases at Cedar Hill Plaza, Market Street Village, and Sunland Towne Center along with improved rent spreads on

commencements  met  co-tenancy  requirements  at  two  operating  properties,  favorably  impacting  billable  rents  to 
other tenants; and  

  Decreased  recovery  income  due  to  decrease  in  recoverable  property  operating  expenses  and  real  estate  taxes  of 

$1.0 million offset by improvement in recovery rates due to improved occupancy levels. 

For the overall portfolio, the gross recovery ratio improved from 74.3% in 2011 to 77.1% in 2012, primarily due to the 
improved  occupancy  level  of  the  operating  portfolio.    The  gross  recovery  ratio  is  computed  by  dividing  tenant 
reimbursements by the sum of recoverable property operating expenses and real estate tax expense. 

Other property related revenue primarily consists of parking revenues, percentage rent, lease settlement income and 
gains on land sales. This revenue decreased $0.2 million, or 4.8%, primarily as a result of lower lease termination fees of 
$0.6 million and lower insurance recovery income of $0.7 million.  These decreases were partially offset by higher parking 
income  of  $0.1  million,  higher  gains  on  land  sales  of  $0.6  million,  and  an  increase  in  other  revenue  related  to  sporting 
events of $0.3 million.  The majority of the termination fee relates to the previous tenant at Oleander Place. 

Property operating expenses decreased $0.1 million, or 0.4%, due to the following: 

Excluding  the  changes  due  to  transitioned  development  properties,  acquired  properties,  and  properties  under 
redevelopment,  the  net  $0.7  million  decrease  in  property  operating  expenses  for  our  properties  was  primarily  due  to  the 
following:  

  $0.6 million net decrease in snow removal costs due to decreased snow at a number of our operating properties in 

2012 partially offset by an increase in general repairs and maintenance of $0.2 million; 

  $0.4 million decrease in bad debt expense at a number of our operating properties reflecting a general recovery in 

economic conditions of our tenants and strength of recent leasing activity; and  

  The changes in other categories of expense were not individually significant. 

Real estate taxes increased $0.4 million, or 3.3%, due to the following:  

Excluding  the  changes  due  to  transitioned  development  properties,  acquired  properties,  and  properties  under 
redevelopment, the net $0.2 million decrease in real estate tax expense for our properties was primarily due to successful 
appeals at a number of our operating properties.  The majority of the increases and decreases in our real estate tax expense 
from  increased  assessments  and  subsequent  appeals  is  recoverable  from  (or  reimbursable  to)  tenants  and,  therefore, 
reflected in tenant reimbursement revenue.

General, administrative and other expenses increased $0.8 million, or 13.4% due primarily to an increase in personnel-

related expenses along with an increase in other public company related costs.  

Acquisition  costs  of  $0.4  million  in  2012  relate  to  due  diligence  and  closing  costs  associated  with  the  properties 

acquired in Florida and South Carolina. 

In 2012, the Company recorded a  litigation charge, net of  $1.0 million.  This relates to the damages and attorney’s 

fees related to a claim by a former tenant.  See additional discussion in Note 4 to our financial statements. 

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $5.7 million, or 17.3%, due to the following:  

The overall increase of $5.7 million was due to the following significant items: 

  An  increase  of  $2.2  million  related  to  the  Four  Corner  Square  redevelopment.    A  redevelopment  plan  for 
this  property  was  finalized  during  the  first  quarter  of  2012,  resulting  in  a  reduction  of  the  useful  life  of 
certain assets that were demolished; 

  An increase of $2.0 million related to the Rangeline Crossing redevelopment.  A redevelopment plan for this 
property was finalized during the second quarter of 2012, resulting in a reduction of the useful life of certain 
assets that were demolished; 

  A decrease of $1.5 million related to the Oleander Place redevelopment.  In 2011, the Company reduced the 

useful life of certain assets that were demolished; and 

  An increase of $1.9 million related to properties acquired in 2012. 

Interest expense increased $1.8 million, or 8.2%.  This increase was primarily due to Cobblestone Plaza and Rivers 
Edge being transitioned to the operating portfolio.  These properties were under various stages of construction during 2011.  
The  increase  was  also  due  to  higher  average  interest  rate  on  the  Company’s  outstanding  borrowings  and  increased  by 
accelerated amortization of deferred loan fees of $0.5 million. 

Income tax benefit of our taxable REIT subsidiary was nominal.  The slight benefit in both periods was due to lower 

residential units at Eddy Street Commons. 

The $4.3 million gain on sale of unconsolidated property, including tax benefit represents our share of the gain on the 

sale of the limited service hotel at Eddy Street Commons property.    

The  2012  $8.0  million  remeasurement  loss  on  consolidation  of  Parkside  Town  Commons,  net  relates  to  the 
acquisition of our partner’s interest in the Parkside Town Commons joint venture.  See additional discussion in Note 3 to 
our financial statements. 

The Company had income related to discontinued operations of $7.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 
compared to income of $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2011.  The Company sold multiple properties in 2012 
compared to one property in 2011 and the 2012 sales resulted in larger net gains. 

Net  income  attributable  to  noncontrolling  interests  was  $3,000  in  2011  compared  to  $0.6  million  in  2012.    The 
fluctuation  was  due  to  the  allocation  of  our  partner’s  share  of  the  gain  on  the  sale  of  our  Gateway  Shopping  Center 
operating property near Seattle, Washington.

Dividends on preferred shares increased $2.1 million.  The increase was due to our completion of a public offering of 

1,300,000 shares of 8.25% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Shares in March 2012. 

Inflation 

Inflation  has  not  had  a  significant  impact  on  our  results  of  operations  because  of  relatively  low  inflation  rates  in  recent 
years.  Additionally, most of our leases contain provisions designed to mitigate the adverse impact of inflation by requiring 
the  tenant  to  pay  its  share  of  operating  expenses,  including  common  area  maintenance,  real  estate  taxes  and  insurance, 
thereby reducing our exposure to increases in operating expenses resulting from inflation. Furthermore, many of our leases 
are for terms of less than ten years, which permits us to seek to increase rents upon re-rental at market rates if current rents 
are below the then existing market rates. 

Liquidity and Capital Resources  

Current State of Capital Markets and Our Financing Strategy 

Our primary financing and capital strategy is to continue to strengthen our balance sheet while maintaining sufficient 
flexibility to fund our operating and investment activities. We consider a  number of factors when evaluating our level of 
indebtedness and when making decisions regarding additional borrowings or equity offerings, including the purchase price 
of properties to be developed or acquired, the estimated market value of our properties  and the Company as a whole upon 
placement of the borrowing or offering, and the ability of particular properties to generate cash flow to cover debt service.  

In November 2013, we issued 36,800,000 common shares for net proceeds of $217 million, which  were used to fund 
a portion of the purchase price of the portfolio of nine unencumbered retail properties. We also issued 15,525,000 common 
shares  in  April  and  May  of  2013  for  net  proceeds  of  $97  million,  which  were  used  to  acquire  Cool  Springs  Market, 
Castleton Crossing, and Toringdon Market operating properties.  

The  Company  has  entered  into  Equity  Distribution  Agreements  with  certain  sales  agents  pursuant  to  which  it  may 
sell, from time to time, up to an aggregate amount of $50 million of its common shares.  During the year ended December 
31, 2013, no common shares were issued under these Equity Distribution Agreements. 

In addition to raising new equity capital,  we have also been successful in  obtaining  new construction loans to fund 
the development costs of our development projects under construction. We entered into a construction loan with capacity of 
$87.2  million  to  fund  the  development  of  Phases  I  and  II  of  Parkside  Town  Commons.    In  addition,  we  amended  and 
increased the borrowing on our existing unsecured term loan from $125 million to $230 million.  

In  the  future,  we  may  raise  additional  capital  by  pursuing  joint  venture  capital  partnerships  and/or  disposing  of 
additional  properties,  land  parcels  or  other  assets  that  are  no  longer  core  components  of  our  growth  strategy.    We  will 
continue  to  monitor the capital  markets and  may consider raising additional capital through the issuance of our common 
shares, preferred shares or other securities. 

As  of  December  31,  2013,  we  had  cash  and  cash  equivalents  on  hand  of  $18.1  million.  We  may  be  subject  to 
concentrations  of  credit  risk  with  regards  to  our  cash  and  cash  equivalents.   We  place  our  cash  and  short-term  cash 
investments with high-credit-quality financial institutions.   From time to time, such investments may temporarily be held 
in accounts in excess of FDIC and SIPC insurance limits; however, we attempt to limit our exposure at any one time.  We 
also  maintain  certain  compensating  balances  in  several  financial  institutions  in  support  of  borrowings  from  those 
institutions.  Such compensating balances were not material to the consolidated balance sheets. 

Our Principal Capital Resources 

Our Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility  

The Operating Partnership is a party to an amended and restated $200 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the 
“unsecured facility”) along with a group of financial institutions led by Key Bank National Association, as  Administrative 

64 

 
 
 
Agent,  and  the  other  lenders  party  thereto.  The  Company  and  several  of  the  Operating  Partnership’s  subsidiaries  are 
guarantors of the Operating Partnership’s obligations under the unsecured facility.  The unsecured facility has a maturity 
date  of  February  26,  2017,  which  maturity  date  may  be  extended  for  an  additional  year  at  the  Operating  Partnership’s 
option  subject  to  certain  conditions.    Borrowings  under  the  unsecured  facility  bear  interest  at  a  floating  interest  rate  of 
LIBOR plus 165 to 250 basis points, depending on the Company’s leverage.  The unsecured facility has a commitment fee 
of 25 to 35 basis points on unused borrowings.  Subject to certain conditions, including the prior consent of the lenders, the 
Company has the option to increase its borrowings under the unsecured facility to a maximum of $400 million if there are 
sufficient unencumbered assets to support the additional borrowings.   

The  amount  that  the  Company  may  borrow  under  the  unsecured  facility  is  based  on  the  value  of  assets  in  its 
unencumbered property pool.  As of December 31, 2013, the Company had 66 unencumbered properties and other assets 
used to calculate the value of the  unencumbered property  pool, of  which 55 were  wholly owned and five of  which  were 
owned  through  joint  ventures.    The  major  unencumbered  assets  include:  12th  Street  Plaza,  Beechwood  Promenade, 
Broadstone  Station,  Burnt  Store  Promenade,  Castleton  Crossing,  Clay  Marketplace,  Cobblestone  Plaza,  Cool  Springs 
Market,  The  Corner,  Courthouse  Shadows,  Cove  Center,  Estero  Town  Commons,  Fox  Lake  Crossing,  Glendale  Town 
Center,  Hunter’s  Creek  Promenade,  King's  Lake  Square,  Kingwood  Commons,  Lakewood  Promenade,  Lithia  Crossing, 
Market Street Village, Northdale Promenade, Oleander Place, Portofino Shopping Center, Shoppes at Plaza Green, Publix 
at Woodruff,  Ridge Plaza,  Rivers Edge,  Red Bank  Commons, Shops at Eagle  Creek,  Shoppes of Eastwood, Tarpon Bay 
Plaza,  Traders  Point  II,  Trussville  Promenade  I,  Trussville  Promenade  II,  Toringdon  Market,  Union  Station  Parking 
Garage, Gainesville Plaza, and Waterford Lakes Village.  As of December 31, 2013, the total maximum amount available 
for  borrowing  under  the  unsecured  credit  facility  was  $200  million,  with  $50.8  million  available  for  future  draws.    In 
addition,  there  are  five  unencumbered  assets  that  would  provide  approximately  $135  million  of  additional  borrowing 
capacity  under  the  unsecured  revolving  credit  if  they  were  contributed  to  the  unencumbered  property  pool  and  the 
accordion feature was exercised.   

As  of  December  31,  2013,  our  outstanding  indebtedness  under  the  unsecured  facility  was  $145.0  million,  bearing 
interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 195 basis points.  In addition, we had outstanding letters of credit totaling $4.2 million as of 
December 31, 2013.  

The  Company’s  ability  to  borrow  under  the  unsecured  facility  is  subject  to  ongoing  compliance  with  various 
restrictive  covenants,  including  with  respect  to  liens,  indebtedness,  investments,  dividends,  mergers  and  asset  sales.   In 
addition, the unsecured facility requires that the Company satisfy certain financial covenants, including: 

 

a maximum leverage ratio of 60%, with a surge provision permitting the maximum leverage ratio to increase 
to 62.5% for one period of up to two consecutive quarters; 

  Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the unsecured facility) to fixed charges coverage ratio of at least 1.50 to 1; 

  minimum  tangible  net  worth  (defined  as  Total  Asset  Value  less  Total  Indebtedness)  of  $350  million  (plus 

75% of the net proceeds of any future equity issuances); 

 

the aggregate amount of unsecured debt of Company, Operating Partnership and their respective subsidiaries 
not exceeding the lesser of (a) 62.5% of the value of all properties then included in an unencumbered pool of 
properties that satisfy certain requirements and (b) the maximum principal amount of debt which would not 
cause  the  ratio  of  certain  net  operating  income  less  capital  reserves  to  debt  service  under  the  Credit 
Agreement to be less than 1.40 to 1; 

 

ratio of secured indebtedness to total asset value of no more than .55 to 1; 

  minimum unencumbered property pool occupancy rate of 80%; 

 

 

ratio of floating rate debt to total asset value of no more than 0.35 to 1; and 

ratio of recourse debt to total asset value of no more than 0.30 to 1. 

Under  the  terms  of  the  unsecured  facility  and  Term  Loan,  the  Company  is  permitted  to  make  distributions  to  its 
shareholders of up to 95% of its funds from operations provided that no event of default exists.  If an event of default exists, 
the Company may only make distributions sufficient to maintain its REIT status.  However, the Company may not make 
any distributions if an event of default resulting from nonpayment or bankruptcy exists, or if its obligations under the credit 
facility are accelerated.

The Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants under the unsecured facility and the Term Loan as of 

December 31, 2013. 

Capital Markets 

We  have  filed  a  registration  statement  with  the  SEC  allowing  us  to  offer,  from  time  to  time,  common  shares  or 
preferred shares for an aggregate initial public offering price of up to $500 million, of which approximately $89 million is 
remaining.  

In November 2013, we issued 36,800,000 common shares for net proceeds of $217 million.   

In April and May of 2013, we issued 15,525,000 common shares for net proceeds of $97 million. 

The  Company  has  entered  into  Equity  Distribution  Agreements  with  certain  sales  agents  pursuant  to  which  it  may 
sell, from time to time, up to an aggregate amount of $50 million of its common shares.  During the year ended December 
31, 2013, no common shares were issued under these Equity Distribution Agreements. 

We will continue to monitor the capital markets and may consider raising additional capital through the issuance of 

our common shares, preferred shares or other securities. 

Sale of Real Estate Assets 

We  may  pursue  opportunities  to  sell  non-strategic  real  estate  assets  in  order  to  generate  additional  liquidity.    Our 
ability to dispose of such properties is dependent on the availability of credit to potential buyers to purchase properties at 
prices that we consider acceptable.  Sales prices on such transactions may be less than our carrying value. 

In 2013, we generated capital by selling Cedar Hill Village in Dallas, Texas.  Proceeds of $8.0 million from this sale 

were redeployed into development and redevelopment activity and tenant improvement costs. 

In  2012,  we  sold  a  total  of  nine  non-core  operating  properties.    These  sales  generated  proceeds  of  $87.4  million 
(inclusive  of  our  partners’  share),  of  which  $42.9  million  was  used  to  pay  down  loans  secured  by  the  properties.    The 
remaining  proceeds  were  redeployed  into  acquisition,  development  and  redevelopment  activity,  and  tenant  improvement 
costs.   

Short and Long-Term Liquidity Needs 

Overview 

We derive the majority of our revenue from tenants who lease space from us at our properties. Therefore, our ability 
to generate cash from operations is dependent on the rents that we are able to charge and collect from our tenants. While we 
believe  that the nature of  the properties in  which  we typically  invest—primarily  neighborhood and community  shopping 
centers—provides a relatively stable revenue flow in uncertain economic times, the  recent economic downturn adversely 
affected the ability of some of our tenants to meet their lease obligations, as discussed in more detail above in “Overview” 
on page 47.  

Short-Term Liquidity Needs 

 The  nature  of  our  business,  coupled  with  the  requirements  to  qualify  for  REIT  status  (including,  for  example,  the 
requirement  that  we  distribute  at  least  90%  of  our  “REIT  taxable  income”  on  an  annual  basis)  may  cause  us  to  have 
substantial liquidity needs over both the short term and the long term. Our short-term liquidity needs consist primarily of 
funds  necessary  to  pay  operating  expenses  associated  with  our  operating  properties,  interest  expense  and  scheduled 
principal  payments  on  our  debt,  expected  dividend  payments  (including  distributions  to  persons  who  hold  units  in  our 
Operating Partnership) and recurring capital expenditures.  Our Board of Trustees (the “Board”) declared cash distributions 
totaling  $0.24  per  common  share  and  common  operating  partnership  unit  in  2013.    Our  Board  also  declared  cash 
distributions totaling $2.0625 per Series A Preferred Share in 2013.  Each quarter we discuss with our Board our liquidity 

66 

 
 
requirements  along  with  other  relevant  factors  before  the  Board  decides  whether  and  in  what  amount  to  declare  a  cash 
distribution.   

When  we  lease  space  to  new  tenants,  or  renew  leases  for  existing  tenants,  we  also  incur  expenditures  for  tenant 
improvements and external leasing commissions. This amount, as well as the amount of recurring capital expenditures that 
we  incur,  will  vary  from  year  to  year.  During  the  year  ended  December  31,  2013,  we  incurred  $1.0  million  of  costs  for 
recurring capital expenditures on operating properties and also incurred $8.9 million of costs for tenant improvements and 
external  leasing  commissions  (excluding  first  generation  space  and  development  and  redevelopment  properties).  We 
currently anticipate incurring  approximately $1.3 million in recurring capital expenditures at our operating properties and 
approximately  $11  million  to  $13  million  of  additional  major  tenant  improvements  and  renovation  costs  within  the  next 
twelve  months  at  several  operating  properties.  We  believe  we  currently  have  sufficient  financing  in  place  to  fund  our 
investment in these projects through borrowings on our unsecured credit facility.  In certain circumstances, we may seek to 
place specific construction financing on the in-process redevelopment projects. 

We expect to meet our short-term liquidity needs through borrowings under the unsecured facility, new construction 
loans,  cash  generated  from  operations  and,  to  the  extent  necessary,  accessing  the  public  equity  and  debt  markets  to  the 
extent that we are able to do so. 

 Development  Projects  under  Construction.  As  of  December  31,  2013,  we  had  two  development  projects  under 
construction.  The total estimated cost for these projects is approximately $209  million, of  which $154 million  had been 
incurred as of December 31, 2013. We believe we currently  have sufficient financing in place to fund these projects and 
expect to do so primarily through existing construction loans. 

Redevelopment Projects under Construction.  As of December 31, 2013,  we had  two redevelopment projects under 
construction.    The  total  estimated  cost  for  these  projects  is  approximately  $17  million,  of  which  $11  million  had  been 
incurred as of December 31, 2013. We believe we currently have sufficient financing in place to fund these projects and 
expect to do so primarily through our unsecured revolving credit facility. 

2014 Debt Maturities  

As of December 31, 2013, $86 million of our outstanding indebtedness was scheduled to mature in 2014, excluding 
scheduled monthly principal payments. We are pursuing financing alternatives to enable us to repay, refinance, or extend 
the maturity date of these loans.   

Long-Term Liquidity Needs 

Our  long-term  liquidity  needs  consist  primarily  of  funds  necessary  to  pay  for  the  development  of  new  properties, 
redevelopment  of  existing  properties,  non-recurring  capital  expenditures,  tenant  improvement  costs,  acquisitions  of 
properties, and payment of indebtedness at maturity.  

Development Property Pending Commencement of Construction. In addition to our developments under construction, 
we are preparing Holly Springs Towne Center – Phase II for construction to commence, including pre-leasing activity and 
negotiations for third-party financing.  As of December 31, 2013, this development is expected to contain approximately 
0.2  million  square  feet  of  total  leasable  area.  We  currently  anticipate  the  total  estimated  cost  of  this  project  will  be 
approximately  $44  million,  of  which  $17  million  has  been  incurred  as  of  December  31,  2013.  Although  we  intend  to 
develop this property, we are not contractually obligated to complete it.  With respect to each future development project, 
our policy is to not commence vertical construction until pre-established leasing thresholds are achieved and the requisite 
third-party financing is in place.  We intend to fund our investment in this development primarily through new construction 
loans, as well as borrowings on our unsecured revolving credit facility, if necessary.  

Redevelopment Properties Pending Commencement of Construction. As of December 31, 2013, two of our properties 
(Courthouse  Shadows  and  Gainesville  Plaza)  were  undergoing  preparation  for  redevelopment  including  leasing  activity.  
We are currently evaluating our total investment in these redevelopment projects, of which $0.8 million has been incurred 
as of December 31, 2013.  Our anticipated total investment could change based upon negotiations with prospective tenants.  
We believe we currently have sufficient financing in place to fund our investment in these projects through borrowings on 

67 

 
 
 
our unsecured revolving credit facility.  In certain circumstances, we may seek to place specific construction financing on 
these redevelopment projects. 

Selective  Acquisitions,  Developments  and  Joint  Ventures.  We  may  selectively  pursue  the  acquisition  and 
development of other properties, which would require additional capital. It is unlikely we would have sufficient funds on 
hand to meet these long-term capital requirements. We would have to satisfy these needs through additional borrowings, 
sales  of  common  or  preferred  shares,  cash  generated  through  property  dispositions  and/or  participation  in  potential  joint 
venture arrangements.  We cannot be certain that we would have access to these sources of capital on satisfactory terms, if 
at  all,  to  fund  our  long-term  liquidity  requirements.  We  evaluate  all  future  opportunities  against  pre-established  criteria 
including, but not limited to, location, demographics, tenant relationships, and amount of existing retail space.   Our ability 
to access the capital markets will be dependent on a number of factors, including general capital market conditions, which 
is discussed in more detail above in “Overview” on page 47.

The Company capitalizes certain indirect costs such as interest, payroll, and other  general and administrative costs 
related  to  these  development  activities.    If  the  Company  were  to  experience  a  10%  reduction  in  development  activities, 
without a  corresponding decrease in indirect project costs, the Company  would  have recorded additional expense  for  the 
year ended December 31, 2013 of $0.5 million. 

Cash Flows 

Comparison of the Year Ended December 31, 2013 to the Year Ended December 31, 2012 

  Cash  provided  by  operating  activities  was  $52.1  million  for  the  year  ended  December 31,  2013,  an  increase  of 
$28.8 million from 2012.  The increase was primarily due to increased gains on land sales of $5.5 million, increased lease 
termination  fee  income  of  $1.8  million,  and  increased  net  operating  income  from  recent  acquisitions  and  development 
properties of $22.7 million.  The increase was partially offset by higher acquisition costs of $1.9 million.  

Cash  used  in  our  investing  activities  totaled  $514.9 million  in  2013,  an  increase  of  $443.3 million  from  2012.

Four Corner Square, and Rangeline Crossing compared to lower expenditures at these properties in 2012. 

 Cash provided by financing activities totaled $468.5 million during 2013, an increase of $417.7 million from 2012. 

Highlights of significant cash sources and uses in 2013 are as follows: 

 

 

 

In November 2013, 36,800,000 common shares were issued for net proceeds of $217 million.  A portion of 
these proceeds were used to fund a portion of the purchase price of the portfolio of nine unencumbered retail 
properties; 
In April and May of 2013, 15,525,000 common shares were issued for net proceeds of $97 million.  These 
proceeds were used to fund the purchase price of Cool Springs Market, Castleton Crossing, and Toringdon 
Market; 
In  August  2013,  proceeds  of  $105  million  from  the  expansion  of  the  amended  unsecured  term  loan  were 
received.  The Company utilized $102 million of the  proceeds to pay down the  unsecured revolving credit 
facility; 

  Draws  of  $77.4  million  were  made  on  construction  loans  related  to  Delray  Marketplace,  Holly  Springs 

Towne Center, Parkside Town Commons, Rangeline Crossing, and Four Corner Square; 

  Distributions to common shareholders and operating partnership unitholders of $22.2 million; and 
  Distributions to preferred shareholders of $8.5 million. 

Comparison of the Year Ended December 31, 2012 to the Year Ended December 31, 2011 

Cash  provided  by  operating  activities  was  $23.3  million  for  the  year  ended  December 31,  2012,  a 
decrease of $9.0 million from 2011.  The decrease was due to higher cash outflows for accounts payable, accrued expenses, 
and  other  liabilities  of  $10.6  million.    The  decrease  was  also  due  to  distributions  from  unconsolidated  entities  of  $4.4 
million in 2011 as a result of the sale of the Eddy Street Limited Service hotel asset compared to distributions of $100,000 
in 2012.         

Cash  used  in  our  investing  activities  totaled  $71.6 million  in  2012,  a  decrease  of  $14.9 million  from  2011.  The 
decrease  in  cash  used  in  investing  activities  was  primarily  a  result  of  an  increase  in  net  proceeds  from  sale  of  operating 
properties  of  $85.9  million  as  multiple  properties  were  sold  in  2012  compared  to  the  sale  of  one  property  in  2011.    In 
addition, the amount of construction payables increased $20.5 million due to the timing of construction activity at our in-
process  development  properties.    These  decreases  were  offset  by  an  increase  in  cash  outflows  for  acquisitions  of  $49.5 
million and capital expenditures, net of $50.6 million.  In addition, the Company contributed $8.5 million to our Parkside 
Town  Commons  development  property  in  2011;  while,  in  2012,  the  Company  contributed  $150,000  to  Parkside  Town 
Commons.   

Cash  provided  by  financing  activities  totaled  $50.8 million  during  2012,  an  increase  of  $1.8 million  from  2011. 

Highlights of significant cash sources and uses in 2012 are as follows: 

 

In March 2012, we issued 1.3 million shares of Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Shares 
for net proceeds of $31.3 million.  A repayment of $30.0 million was made on the unsecured revolving credit 
facility from the net proceeds of the offering; 
In October 2012, we issued 12.1 million common shares for net proceeds of $59.7 million; 

 
  Net debt paydowns of $13.7 million;  
  Distributions of $2.7 million to our partners in consolidated joint ventures.  The majority of this relates to our 

partner’s share of net proceeds from the sale of Gateway Shopping Center; 

  Distributions to common shareholders and operating partnership unitholders of $17.3 million; and 
  Distributions to preferred shareholders of $7.7 million.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements  

We do not currently have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material 
current  or  future  effect  on  our  financial  condition,  changes  in  financial  condition,  revenues  or  expenses,  results  of 
operations, liquidity,  capital expenditures or capital resources.  We do, however,  have certain obligations to  some of  the 
projects in our in-process development pipeline, as discussed below in “Contractual Obligations”.   

As of December 31, 2013, we have outstanding letters of credit totaling $4.2 million and no amounts were advanced 

against these instruments.

Tenant allowances include commitments made to tenants at our operating and under construction development and 
redevelopment properties.

Our long-term debt consists of both variable and fixed-rate debt and includes both principal and interest.  Interest 
expense for variable-rate debt was calculated using the interest rates as of December 31, 2013. 

3  We have entered into employment agreements with certain members of senior management. Under these agreements, 

each individual received a stipulated annual base salary through December 31, 2013. Each agreement has an 
automatic one-year renewal unless we or the individual elects not to renew the agreement. The contracts have been 
extended through December 31, 2014. 

In  connection  with  the  construction  of  the  Eddy  Street  Commons  parking  garage  and  certain  infrastructure 
improvements, we are obligated to fund payments under Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Bonds issued by the  City of South 
Bend,  Indiana.    The  majority  of  the  bonds  will  be  funded  by  real  estate  tax  payments  made  by  us  and  subject  to 
reimbursement  from  the  tenants  of  the  property.    If  there  are  delays  in  the  development,  we  are  obligated  to pay  certain 
delay  fees.  However,  we  have  an  agreement  with  the  City  of  South  Bend  to  limit  our  exposure  to  a  maximum  of  $0.4 
million as to such fees.  In addition, we will not be in default concerning other obligations under the agreement with the 
City of South Bend so long as we commence and diligently pursue the completion of our obligations under that agreement. 

In connection with our formation at the time of our IPO, we entered into an agreement that restricts our ability, prior 
to  December 31,  2016,  to  dispose  of  six  of  our  properties  in  taxable  transactions  and  limits  the  amount  of  gain  we  can 
trigger  with  respect  to  certain  other  properties  without  incurring  reimbursement  obligations  owed  to  certain  limited 
partners.  We  have  agreed  that  if  we  dispose  of  any  interest  in  six  specified  properties  in  a  taxable  transaction  before 
December 31, 2016, then we will indemnify the contributors of those properties for their tax liabilities attributable to their 
built-in  gain  that  exists  with  respect  to  such  property  interest  as  of  the  time  of  our  IPO  (and  tax  liabilities  incurred  as  a 
result of the reimbursement payment).   We do not intend to dispose of these properties prior to December 31, 2016 in a 
manner that would result in a taxable transaction.

The six properties to which our tax indemnity obligations relate represented 11.5% of our annualized base rent in the 
aggregate  as  of  December 31,  2013.  These  six  properties  are  International  Speedway  Square,  Shops  at  Eagle  Creek, 
Whitehall Pike, Ridge Plaza, Thirty South, and Market Street Village.  

Obligations in Connection with Development and Redevelopment Projects Under Construction 

We are obligated under various completion guarantees with lenders and lease agreements with tenants to complete all 
or portions of our in-process development and redevelopment projects. We believe we currently have sufficient financing in 
place to fund these projects and expect to do so primarily through existing construction loans or draws on our unsecured 
facility.   

Our  share  of  estimated  future  costs  for  our  in-process  and  future  developments  and  redevelopments  is  further 

discussed on page 67 in the "Short and Long-Term Liquidity Needs" section.

Funds From Operations 

Funds  From  Operations  (“FFO”)  is  a  widely  used  performance  measure  for  real  estate  companies  and  is  provided 
here  as  a  supplemental  measure  of  operating  performance.  We  calculate  FFO  in  accordance  with  the  best  practices 
described  in  the  April 2002  National  Policy  Bulletin  of  the  National  Association  of  Real  Estate  Investment  Trusts 
(NAREIT),  which  we  refer  to  as  the  White  Paper.  The  White  Paper  defines  FFO  as  consolidated  net  income  (loss) 
(computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales and impairments of depreciated property, less 
preferred dividends, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for third-party shares of appropriate items.   

Given the nature of our business as a real estate owner and operator, we believe that FFO and FFO, as adjusted, are 
helpful  to  investors  when  measuring  our  operational  performance  because  they  exclude  various  items  included  in 
consolidated net income or loss that do not relate to or are not indicative of our operating performance, such as gains (or 
losses) from sales and impairment of operating properties and depreciation and amortization, which can make periodic and 
peer analyses of operating performance more difficult. For informational purposes, we have also provided FFO adjusted for 
the litigation charge and related recovery in 2012,  a gain on debt extinguishment,  in 2013 the write-off of deferred loan 
costs  in  2012  and  2013,  and  costs  incurred  to  acquire  a  nine  property  portfolio  in  2013.    We  believe  this  supplemental 
information  provides  a  meaningful  measure  of  our  operating  performance.    We  believe  that  our  presentation  of  adjusted 
FFO provides investors  with another financial  measure  that  may  facilitate  comparison of operating performance between 
periods  and  compared  to  our  peers.    FFO  should  not  be  considered  as  an  alternative  to  consolidated  net  income  (loss) 
(determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of our financial performance, is not an alternative to cash flow from 
operating  activities  (determined  in  accordance  with  GAAP)  as  a  measure  of  our  liquidity,  and  is  not  indicative  of  funds 
available  to  satisfy  our  cash  needs,  including  our  ability  to  make  distributions.  Our  computations  of  FFO  and  FFO,  as 
adjusted, may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs. 

Our calculation of FFO and FFO, as adjusted, and reconciliation to consolidated net (loss) income is as follows:

“Funds  From  Operations  of  the  Kite  Portfolio”  measures  100%  of  the  operating  performance  of  the  Operating 
Partnership’s real estate properties and construction and service subsidiaries in which the Company owns an interest. 
“Funds  From  Operations  allocable  to  the  Company”  reflects  a  reduction  for  the  noncontrolling  weighted  average 
diluted interest in the Operating Partnership. 

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK   

Our future income, cash flows and fair values relevant to financial instruments depend upon prevailing interest rates. 
We are exposed to interest rate changes primarily through (1) our variable-rate unsecured credit facility and Term Loan, (2) 
property-specific  variable-rate  construction  financing,  and  (3)  other  property-specific  variable-rate  mortgages.  The 
Company’s  objectives  with  respect  to  interest  rate  risk  are  to  limit  the  impact  of  interest  rate  changes  on  operations  and 
cash flows, and to lower its overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, the Company may borrow at fixed rates 
and may enter into derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps, hedges, etc., in order to mitigate its interest 
rate risk on a related variable-rate financial instrument.  As a matter of policy, we do not utilize financial instruments for 
trading or speculative transactions. 

We  had  $857.1  million  of  outstanding  consolidated  indebtedness  as  of  December  31,  2013  (inclusive  of  net 
premiums on acquired debt of $0.1 million). As of December 31, 2013, we were party to various consolidated interest rate 
hedge  agreements  for  a  total  of  $326.8  million,  with  maturities  over  various  terms  ranging  from  2014  through  2020. 
Including the effects of these hedge agreements, our fixed and variable rate debt would have been $603.4 million (70%) and 
$253.7 million (30%), respectively, of our total consolidated indebtedness at December 31, 2013.   

Our  variable-rate    financial  instruments  are  dependent  upon  prevalent  market  rates  of  interest,  primarily  LIBOR.  
LIBOR remained at historically low levels during 2013.  Based on the amount of our fixed rate debt at December 31, 2013,

a  100  basis  point  increase  in  market  interest  rates  would  result  in  a  decrease  in  the  fair  value  of  our  fixed  rate  debt  of 
approximately $9.4 million. A 100 basis point increase in interest rates on our variable rate debt as of December 31, 2013 
would decrease our annual cash flow by approximately $2.5 million.  Based upon the terms of our variable rate debt, we are 
most  vulnerable  to  change  in  short-term  LIBOR  interest  rates.    The  above  sensitivity  analysis  was  estimated  using  cash 
flows discounted at current borrowing rates adjusted by 100 basis points.

and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered 
by  this  report.    Based  on  that  evaluation,  the  Company’s  Chief  Executive  Officer  and  Chief  Financial  Officer  have 
concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in recording, 
processing,  summarizing  and  reporting,  on  a  timely  basis,  information  required  to  be  disclosed  by  the  Company  in  the 
reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act.  

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting 

There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) 
under the Exchange Act) identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act 
of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of 
December  31,  2013  that  has  materially  affected,  or  is  reasonably  likely  to  materially  affect,  our  internal  control  over 
financial reporting. 

Management Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting 

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial 
reporting for the  Company, as that term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the  Exchange  Act. Under the  supervision of  and 
with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company 
conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the 1992 
framework  in  Internal  Control  –  Integrated  Framework  issued  by  the  Committee  of  Sponsoring  Organizations  of  the 
Treadway  Commission.    Based  on  the  Company’s  evaluation  under  the  framework  in  Internal  Control  –  Integrated 
Framework, the Company’s management has concluded that the  Company’s internal control over financial reporting was 
effective as of December 31, 2013. 

The Company’s independent  auditors, Ernst  & Young  LLP, an independent registered public accounting  firm,  have 
issued a report on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as stated in their report which is included herein. 

The Company’s internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management 
and Board of Trustees regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements.  All internal control 
systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations.  Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective 
can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm 

The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Kite Realty Group Trust:  

We have audited Kite Realty Group Trust and subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of December 
31, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring 
Organizations  of  the  Treadway  Commission  (1992  Framework)  (the  COSO  criteria).  Kite  Realty  Group  Trust  and 
subsidiaries’  management  is  responsible  for  maintaining  effective  internal  control  over  financial  reporting,  and  for  its 
assessment  of  the  effectiveness  of  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  included  in  the  accompanying  Management 
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the company’s internal 
control over financial reporting based on our audit.  

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United 
States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective 
internal  control  over  financial  reporting  was  maintained  in  all  material  respects.  Our  audit  included  obtaining  an 
understanding  of  internal  control  over  financial  reporting,  assessing  the  risk  that  a  material  weakness  exists,  testing  and 
evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other 
procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our 
opinion. 

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding 
the  reliability  of  financial  reporting  and  the  preparation  of  financial  statements  for  external  purposes  in  accordance  with 
generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and 
procedures  that  (1)  pertain  to  the  maintenance  of  records  that,  in  reasonable  detail,  accurately  and  fairly  reflect  the 
transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded 
as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and 
that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and 
directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized 
acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. 
Also,  projections  of  any  evaluation  of  effectiveness  to  future  periods  are  subject  to  the  risk  that  controls  may  become 
inadequate  because  of  changes  in  conditions,  or  that  the  degree  of  compliance  with  the  policies  or  procedures  may 
deteriorate. 

In our opinion, Kite Realty Group Trust and subsidiaries maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control 

over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on the COSO criteria. 

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United 
States), the consolidated balance sheets of Kite Realty Group Trust and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and 
the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each 
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013 and the related financial statement schedule listed in the index at 
Item  15(a)  as  of  December  31,  2013  of  Kite  Realty  Group  Trust  and  subsidiaries  and  our  report  dated  March  7,  2014 
expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm 

The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Kite Realty Group Trust: 

We  have  audited  the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheets  of  Kite  Realty  Group  Trust  and  subsidiaries  as  of 
December  31,  2013  and  2012,  and  the  related  consolidated  statements  of  operations  and  comprehensive  income, 
shareholders’ equity, and cash flows  for each of the  three years in the period ended December 31, 2013.  Our audit also 
included the financial statement schedule listed in the index at item 15(a).  These financial statements and schedule are the 
responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and 
schedule based on our audits.   

  We  conducted our audits in accordance  with the  standards of the Public Company  Accounting Oversight Board 
(United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain  reasonable assurance about whether 
the  financial  statements  are  free  of  material  misstatement.    An  audit  includes  examining,  on  a  test  basis,  evidence 
supporting  the  amounts  and  disclosures  in  the  financial  statements.    An  audit  also  includes  assessing  the  accounting 
principles  used  and  significant  estimates  made  by  management,  as  well  as  evaluating  the  overall  financial  statement 
presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.   

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated 
financial position of Kite Realty Group Trust and subsidiaries at December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the consolidated results 
of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013, in conformity 
with  U.S.  generally  accepted  accounting  principles.  Also,  in  our  opinion,  the  related  financial  statement  schedule,  when 
considered  in  relation  to  the  basic  financial  statements  taken  as  a  whole,  presents  fairly  in  all  material  respects  the 
information set forth therein.   

  We  also  have  audited,  in  accordance  with  the  standards  of  the  Public  Company  Accounting  Oversight  Board 
(United States), the effectiveness of Kite Realty Group Trust and subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of 
December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control  – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of 
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (1992 Framework) and our report dated March 7, 2014 expressed 
an unqualified opinion thereon.

Kite Realty Group Trust  
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 
December 31, 2013 

Note 1. Organization 

Kite Realty Group Trust (the “Company” or “REIT”) was organized in Maryland in 2004 to succeed the development, 
acquisition,  construction  and  real  estate  businesses  of  our  predecessor.  The  Company  began  operations  in  2004  when  it 
completed its initial public offering of common shares and concurrently consummated certain other formation transactions.  

The Company, through Kite Realty Group, L.P. (“the Operating Partnership”), is engaged in the ownership, operation, 
management, leasing, acquisition, construction, redevelopment and development of neighborhood and community shopping 
centers in selected markets in the United States.   

At December 31, 2013, the Company owned interests in 72 operating and redevelopment properties (consisting of 70 
retail properties and two commercial operating properties) and two under-construction development projects.  In addition, 
the Company has one development project pending construction commencement, which is undergoing  pre-leasing activity 
and negotiations for third-party financings.  Finally, as of December 31, 2013, the Company also owned interests in other 
land parcels comprising 131 acres that are expected to be used for future expansion of existing properties or development of 
new  retail  or  commercial  properties.    The  Company  may  also  elect  to  sell  such  land  to  third  parties  under  certain 
circumstances. These land parcels are classified as “Land held for development” in the accompanying consolidated balance 
sheets. 

At  December  31,  2012,  the  Company  owned  interests  in  60  operating  and  redevelopment  properties,  three  under-

construction development projects, and 91 acres of land held for development.  

Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 

The  accompanying  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  accounting  principles  generally 
accepted in the United States (“GAAP”).  GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the 
reported  amounts  of  assets  and  liabilities,  disclosure  of  contingent  assets  and  liabilities  at  the  date  of  the  financial 
statements, and revenues and expenses during the reported period.  Actual results could differ from these estimates. 

Consolidation and Investments in Joint Ventures 

The  accompanying  financial  statements  of  the  Company  are  presented  on  a  consolidated  basis  and  include  all 
accounts of the Company, the Operating Partnership, the taxable REIT subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, subsidiaries 
of the  Company or the Operating Partnership that are controlled  and any  variable interest entities (“VIEs”)  in  which  the 
Company is the primary beneficiary.  In general, a VIE is a corporation, partnership, trust or any other legal structure used 
for business purposes that either (a) has equity investors that do not provide sufficient financial resources for the entity to 
support  its  activities,  (b)  does  not  have  equity  investors  with  voting  rights  or  (c)  has  equity  investors  whose  votes  are 
disproportionate  from  their  economics  and  substantially  all  of  the  activities  are  conducted  on  behalf  of  the  investor  with 
disproportionately fewer voting rights.  The Company consolidates properties that are wholly owned as well as properties it 
controls but in which it owns less than a 100% interest.  Control of a property is demonstrated by, among other factors: 







the Company’s ability to refinance debt and sell the property without the consent of any other partner or 
owner; 

the inability of any other partner or owner to replace the Company as manager of the property; or 

being the primary beneficiary of a VIE.  The primary beneficiary is defined as the entity that has (i) the 
power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, 
and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant 
to the VIE. 

As of December 31, 2013, the Company had investments in three joint ventures that are VIEs in which the Company 
is the  primary beneficiary.   As of this date, these VIEs had total debt of $65.9  million  which is secured by assets of the 
VIEs totaling $116.0 million.  The Operating Partnership guarantees the debt of these VIEs.   

F-6 

 
The Company considers all relationships between itself and the VIE, including development agreements, management 
agreements and other contractual arrangements, in determining whether it has the power to direct the activities of the VIE 
that most significantly affect the VIE’s performance. The Company also continuously reassesses primary beneficiary status.  
Other than with regard to Rangeline Crossing and Parkside Town Commons, there were no changes during the years ended 
December 31, 2013, 2012 or 2011 to the Company’s conclusions regarding whether an entity qualifies as a VIE or whether 
the Company is the primary beneficiary of any previously identified VIE.  

Rangeline Crossing   

In  February  2011,  the  Company  completed  the  acquisition  of  the  remaining  40%  interest  in  Rangeline  Crossing,  a 
consolidated operating property, from its joint venture partners.  The purchase price of the 40% interest was $2.2 million, 
including the settlement of a $0.6 million loan previously made by the Company.  The transaction was accounted for as an 
equity transaction as the Company retained its controlling financial interest.  The carrying amount of the non-controlling 
interest  was  eliminated,  and  the  difference  between  the  consideration  paid  and  the  non-controlling  interest  balance  was 
recognized in additional paid-in capital. 

Purchase Accounting 

In  accordance  with  Topic  805—“Business  Combinations”  in  the  Accounting  Standards  Codification  (“ASC”),  the 
Company measures identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interests in an acquiree at fair 
value  on  the  acquisition  date,  with  goodwill  being  the  excess  value  over  the  net  identifiable  assets  acquired.    In  making 
estimates of fair values for the purpose of allocating purchase price, a number of sources are utilized, including information 
obtained as a result of pre-acquisition due diligence, marketing and leasing activities.  

A portion of the purchase price is allocated to tangible assets and intangibles, including: 

 

 

 

the  fair value of the building  on an as-if-vacant basis and to  land determined either by comparable  market 
data, real estate tax assessments, independent appraisals or other relevant data; 

above-market and below-market in-place lease values for acquired properties are based on the present value 
(using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between 
(i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) management’s estimate of fair 
market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over the remaining non-cancelable term of 
the  leases.    Any  below-market  renewal  options  are  also  considered  in  the  in-place  lease  values.    The 
capitalized above-market and below-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of or addition to rental 
income over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases.  Should a tenant vacate, terminate 
its  lease,  or  otherwise  notify  the  Company  of  its  intent  to  do  so,  the  unamortized  portion  of  the  lease 
intangibles would be charged or credited to income; and 

the  value  of  leases  acquired.    The  Company  utilizes  independent  and  internal  sources  for  its  estimates  to 
determine the respective in-place lease values.  The Company’s estimates of value are made using methods 
similar to those  used by independent appraisers.  Factors the  Company considers in  its  analysis  include an 
estimate of costs to execute similar leases including tenant improvements, leasing commissions and foregone 
costs and rent received during the estimated lease-up period as if the space was vacant.  The value of in-place 
leases is amortized to expense over the remaining initial terms of the respective leases. 

The Company also considers whether a portion of the purchase price should be allocated to in-place leases that have a 
related customer relationship intangible value.  Characteristics the Company considers in allocating these values include the 
nature and extent of existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the 
tenant, the tenant’s credit quality, and expectations of lease renewals, among other factors.  To date, a tenant relationship 
has not been developed that is considered to have a current intangible value.

Investment Properties 

Capitalization and Depreciation 

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

The  Company incurs costs prior to land acquisition and for certain land held for development including acquisition 
contract  deposits,  as  well  as  legal,  engineering,  cost  of  internal  resources  and  other  external  professional  fees  related  to 
evaluating the  feasibility of developing a shopping center  or other project.  These pre-development costs are included in 
construction  in  progress  in  the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheets.    If  the  Company  determines  that  the 
development of a property is no longer probable, any pre-development costs previously incurred are immediately expensed.  
Once construction commences on the land, it is transferred to construction in progress.   

The Company also capitalizes costs such as construction, interest, real estate taxes,  and salaries and related costs of 
personnel  directly  involved  with  the  development  of  our  properties.    As  portions  of  the  development  property  become 
operational, the Company expenses appropriate costs on a pro rata basis.  

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

Impairment 

Management reviews both operational and development properties, land parcels and intangible assets for impairment 
on at least a quarterly basis or  whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value  may  not be 
recoverable.    The  review  for  possible  impairment  requires  management  to  make  certain  assumptions  and  estimates  and 
requires  significant  judgment.    Impairment  losses  for  investment  properties  and  intangible  assets  are  measured  when  the 
undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by the investment properties during the expected holding period are less 
than  the  carrying  amounts  of  those  assets.    Impairment  losses  are  recorded  as  the  excess  of  the  carrying  value  over  the 
estimated fair value of the asset.  If the Company decides to sell or otherwise dispose of an asset, its carrying value may 
differ from its sales price. 

Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations 

Operating properties held for sale include only those properties available for immediate sale in their present condition 
and for which management believes it is probable that a sale of the property will be completed within one year among other 
factors.  Operating properties held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value less costs to sell.  Depreciation and 
amortization  are  suspended  during  the  period  during  which  the  asset  is  held-for-sale.    As  of  December  31,  2013,  the 
Company classified 50th & 12th operating property as  held for sale.  There were no assets classified as held for sale as of 
December 31, 2012. 

The Company’s properties generally have operations and cash flows that can be clearly distinguished from the rest of 
the  Company.    The  operations  reported  in  discontinued  operations  include  those  operating  properties  that  were  sold, 
disposed  of  or  considered  held-for-sale  and  for  which  operations  and  cash  flows  can  be  clearly  distinguished.    The 
operations  from  these  properties  are  eliminated  from  ongoing  operations  and  the  Company  will  not  have  a  continuing 
involvement  after  disposition.    Prior  periods  have  been  reclassified  to  reflect  the  operations  of  these  properties  as 
discontinued operations to the extent they are material to the results of operations. 

F-8 

 
Escrow Deposits 

Escrow deposits consist of cash held for real estate taxes, property maintenance, insurance and other requirements at 

specific properties as required by lending institutions.  

Cash and Cash Equivalents 

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

The Company maintains certain compensating balances in several financial institutions in support of borrowings from 

those institutions.  Such compensating balances were not material to the consolidated balance sheets. 

Fair Value Measurements 

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

fair value.  

Fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement.  Therefore, a fair value measurement 
should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.  The fair 
value  hierarchy  distinguishes  between  market  participant  assumptions  based  on  market  data  obtained  from  sources 
independent  of  the  reporting  entity  (observable  inputs  for  identical  instruments  that  are  classified  within  Level  1  and 
observable  inputs  for  similar  instruments  that  are  classified  within  Level  2)  and  the  reporting  entity’s  own  assumptions 
about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3).  As further discussed in Note 12, the 
Company has determined that its derivative valuations are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. 

Note 3 includes a discussion of fair values recorded when the Company acquired a controlling interest in Parkside 
Town Commons development project.  Note 5 includes a discussion of fair values recorded when the Company transferred 
the  Kedron  Village  property  to  the  loan  servicer.  Level  3  inputs  to  these  transactions  include  our  estimations  of  the  fair 
value of the real estate and related assets acquired.   

Note 11 includes a discussion of the fair values recorded in purchase accounting.  Level 3 inputs to these acquisitions 

include our estimations of market leasing rates, tenant-related costs, discount rates, and disposal values.   

Derivative Financial Instruments 

The Company accounts for its derivative financial instruments at fair value calculated in accordance with Topic 820—
“Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” in the ASC.  Gains or losses resulting from changes in the fair values of those 
derivatives are  accounted  for depending on the  use  of the  derivative and  whether it qualifies  for hedge accounting.    The 
Company  uses  derivative  instruments  such  as  interest  rate  swaps  or  rate  locks  to  mitigate  interest  rate  risk  on  related 
financial instruments.   

Changes  in  the  fair  values  of  derivatives  that  qualify  as  cash  flow  hedges  are  recognized  in  other  comprehensive 
income (“OCI”) while any ineffective portion of a derivative’s change in fair value is recognized immediately in earnings.  
Upon settlement of the hedge, gains and losses associated with the transaction are recorded in OCI and amortized over the 
underlying term of the hedged transaction.  All of the Company’s derivative instruments qualify for hedge accounting. 

Revenue Recognition 

As lessor, the Company retains substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the investment properties and 

accounts for its leases as operating leases. 

F-9 

 
 
Base  minimum  rents  are  recognized  on  a  straight-line  basis  over  the  terms  of  the  respective  leases.    Certain  lease 
agreements  contain  provisions  that  grant  additional  rents  based  on  tenants’  sales  volume  (contingent  percentage  rent).  
Percentage rents are recognized when tenants achieve the specified targets as defined in their lease agreements.  Percentage 
rents are included in other property related revenue in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. 

Reimbursements  from  tenants  for  real  estate  taxes  and  other  recoverable  operating  expenses  are  estimated  and 

recognized as revenues in the period the applicable expense is incurred. 

Gains from sales of real estate are recognized when a sale has been consummated, the buyer’s initial and continuing 
investment is adequate to demonstrate a commitment to pay for the property, the Company has transferred to the buyer the 
usual risks and rewards of ownership, and the Company does not have a substantial continuing financial involvement in the 
property.  As part of the Company’s ongoing business strategy, it will, from time to time, sell land parcels and outlots, some 
of which are ground leased to tenants.  Net gains realized on such sales were $6.2 million, $0.8 million, and $0.2 million for 
the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively, and are classified as other property related revenue in 
the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. 

Tenant Receivables and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts 

Tenant receivables consist primarily of billed minimum rent, accrued and billed tenant reimbursements, and accrued 
straight-line rent.  The Company generally does not require specific collateral other than corporate or personal guarantees 
from its tenants. 

An allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained for estimated losses resulting from the inability of certain tenants or 
others to meet contractual obligations under their lease or other agreements.  Accounts are written off when, in the opinion 
of management, the balance is uncollectible.

Other Receivables 

Other  receivables  consist  primarily  of  receivables  due  from  municipalities  and  from  tenants  for  non-rental  revenue 

related activities.   

Concentration of Credit Risk 

The  Company  may  be  subject  to  concentrations  of  credit  risk  with  regards  to  its  cash  and  cash  equivalents.   The 
Company places its cash and temporary cash investments with high-credit-quality financial institutions.  From time to time, 
such  cash  and  investments  may  temporarily  be  in  excess  of  insurance  limits.    In  addition,  the  Company’s  accounts 
receivable  from  and  leases  with  tenants  potentially  subjects  it  to  a  concentration  of  credit  risk  related  to  its  accounts 
receivable  and  revenue.    At  December 31,  2013,  40%,  25%  and  13%  of  total  billed  receivable  were  due  from  tenants 
leasing space in the states of Florida, Indiana, and Texas, respectively.  For the year ended December 31, 2013, 36%, 30% 
and 14% of the Company’s revenue recognized was from tenants leasing space in the states of Indiana, Florida, and Texas, 
respectively.  There were no significant changes in the concentration percentages for the years ended December 31, 2012 
and 2011. 

Earnings Per Share 

Basic earnings per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.  
Diluted earnings per share is determined based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding combined with the 
incremental average shares that would have been outstanding assuming all potentially dilutive shares were converted into 
common shares as of the earliest date possible.  

F-10 

 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
Potentially  dilutive  securities  include  outstanding  share  options,  units  in  the  Operating  Partnership,  which  may  be 
exchanged for either cash or common shares, at our option,  under certain circumstances, and deferred share units, which 
may be credited to the accounts of non-employee trustees in lieu of the payment of cash compensation or the issuance of 
common  shares  to  such  trustees.    Due  to  the  Company’s  net  loss  from  continuing  operations  attributable  to  common 
shareholders for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, the potentially dilutive securities were not dilutive for 
these periods.   

For  the  year  ended  December  31,  2013,  1.5  million  of  the  Company’s  outstanding  common  share  options  were 
excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their impact was not dilutive.   For each of the years 
ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, 1.7 million of the Company’s outstanding common share options were excluded from 
the computation of diluted earnings per share because their impact was not dilutive.   

Income Taxes and REIT Compliance 

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

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

Income tax provision for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $262,000.   For the years ended December 31, 2012 

and 2011, there were insignificant amounts of income tax benefits recorded.   

Other state and local income taxes were not significant in any of the periods presented. 

Noncontrolling Interests 

The Company reports its noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary as equity and the amount of consolidated net income 

specifically attributable to the noncontrolling interest is identified in the consolidated financial statements.   

The noncontrolling interests in consolidated properties for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011 were 

as follows:

The  Company  classifies  redeemable  noncontrolling  interests  in  the  Operating  Partnership  in  the  accompanying 
consolidated balance sheets outside of permanent equity because the Company may be required to pay cash to unitholders 
upon redemption of their interests in the limited partnership under certain circumstances.   

The redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, 

and 2011 were as follows:  

____________________ 
1  Represents the noncontrolling interests’ share of the changes in the fair value of 
derivative instruments accounted for as cash flow hedges (see Note 10).

Includes adjustments to reflect amounts at the greater of historical book value or 
redemption value.  

The following sets forth accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) allocable to noncontrolling interests for the 

years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011: 

____________________ 
1  Represents the noncontrolling interests’ share of the changes in the fair value of 
derivative instruments accounted for as cash flow hedges (see Note 10). 

The  carrying  amount  of  the  redeemable  noncontrolling  interests  in  the  Operating  Partnership  is  required  to  be 
reflected at the greater of historical book value or redemption value with a corresponding adjustment to additional paid in 
capital.    As  of  December  31,  2011,  the  historical  book  value  of  the  redeemable  noncontrolling  interests  exceeded  the 
redemption  value,  so  no  adjustment  was  necessary.    As  of  December  31,  2013  and  2012,  the  redemption  value  of  the 
redeemable noncontrolling interests did exceed the historical book value, and the balance was adjusted to redemption value 
based upon Level 2 inputs. 

The Company allocates net operating results of the Operating Partnership after preferred dividends and noncontrolling 
interest in the consolidated properties based on the partners’ respective weighted average ownership interest.  The Company 
adjusts  the  redeemable  noncontrolling  interests  in  the  Operating  Partnership  at  the  end  of  each  period  to  reflect  their

Note 3. Parkside Town Commons 

On  December  31,  2012,  the  Company  acquired  a  controlling  interest  in  a  development  project  called  Parkside 
Town  Commons  (“Parkside”),  which  was  historically  accounted  for  under  the  equity  method.    Parkside  was  owned  in  a 
joint venture with Prudential Real Estate Investors (“PREI”). 

The Company acquired PREI’s 60% interest in the project for $13.3 million, including assumption of PREI’s $8.7 
million share of indebtedness on the project.  The Company recorded a non-cash remeasurement loss upon consolidation of 
Parkside of $8.0 million, net, consisting of a $14.9 million loss on remeasurement of the Company’s equity investment and 
a $6.9 million gain on the acquisition of PREI’s interest at a discount. 

Upon  consolidation,  the  Company  measured  the  acquired  assets  and  assumed  liabilities  at  fair  value.    The  fair 
value of the real estate and related assets acquired were estimated primarily using the market approach with the assistance 
of a third party appraisal.  The most significant assumption in the fair value estimated was the comparable sales value.  The 
estimate of fair value was determined to have primarily relied upon Level 3 inputs, as previously defined. 

In November 2013, the Company  sold  12.8 acres of land for a sales price  of approximately $5.3  million  for  no 

gain or loss. 

Note 4. Litigation Charge 

In 2012, the Company paid $1.3 million to settle a claim by a former tenant.    In the fourth quarter of 2012, the 
Company partially recovered costs associated with the claim.  The net amount is reflected in the statement of operations for 
the year ended December 31, 2012 and has been paid, releasing the Company from the claim.   

Note 5. Kedron Village 

  Beginning in October 2012, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company was in payment default on a $29.5 million 

non-recourse loan secured by the Company’s Kedron Village property due to insufficient cash flow being generated by the 
property to fully support the debt service on the loan.  The Company had been in negotiations with representatives of the 

F-13 

 
 
 
 
 
 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
 
 
lender with the objective of restructuring the loan and retaining ownership of the Kedron Village property.  In June 2013, 
the Company received notice that the representatives of the lender intended to initiate foreclosure proceedings. 

The Company evaluated the Kedron Village property for impairment as of June 30, 2013 and determined that, based 
on recent developments including the reduced holding period that considers the foreclosure proceedings and current market 
rental rates, the carrying value of the property was no longer fully recoverable.  Accordingly, the Company recorded a non-
cash impairment charge of $5.4 million based upon the estimated fair value of the asset as of that date of $25.5 million. 

On July 2, 2013, the foreclosure proceedings were completed and the mortgage lender took title to the property in 
satisfaction of principal and interest due on the mortgage.  A related $2.2 million escrow balance was also retained by the 
mortgage lender.  The Company recognized a non-cash gain of $1.2 million upon the transfer of the asset to the lender in 
satisfaction of the debt.  Also, the Company reversed an accrual of unpaid interest (primarily default interest) of 
approximately $1.1 million.  The Company reclassified the operations of Kedron Village to discontinued operations for all 
periods presented. 

Note 6. Share-Based Compensation  

Overview  

The Company's 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan") amended and restated the Company’s 2004 Equity Incentive 
Plan and authorized options and other share-based compensation awards to be granted to employees and trustees for up to 
an  additional  6,000,000  common  shares  of  the  Company.    The  Company  accounts  for  its  share-based  compensation  in 
accordance with the fair value recognition provisions provided under Topic 718—“Stock Compensation” in the ASC. 

The  total  share-based  compensation  expense,  net  of  amounts  capitalized,  included  in  general  and  administrative 
expenses  for  the  years  ended  December  31,  2013,  2012,  and  2011  was  $1.1  million,  $0.9  million,  and  $0.7  million, 
respectively.  Total share-based compensation cost capitalized for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011 was 
$0.5 million, $0.4 million, and $0.3 million, respectively, related to development and leasing activities. 

As of December 31, 2013, there were 5,749,890 shares available for grant under the Plan.  

Share Options  

Pursuant to the Plan, the Company periodically grants options to purchase common shares at an exercise price equal to 
the grant date per-share fair value of the Company's common shares.  Granted options typically vest over a five year period 
and expire ten years from the grant date.  The Company issues new common shares upon the exercise of options. 

For the Company's share option plan, the grant date fair value of each grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes 
option  pricing  model.    The  Black-Scholes  model  utilizes  assumptions  related  to  the  dividend  yield,  expected  life  and 
volatility of the Company’s common shares, and the risk-free interest rate.  The dividend yield is based on the Company's 
historical  dividend  rate.   The  expected  life  of  the  grants  is  derived  from  expected  employee  duration,  which  is  based  on 
Company  history,  industry  information,  and  other  factors.    The  risk-free  interest  rate  is  derived  from  the  U.S.  Treasury 
yield curve in effect at the time of grant.  Expected volatilities utilized in the model are based on the historical volatility of 
the Company's share price and other factors.  

A summary of option activity under  the Plan as of December 31, 2013, and changes during the  year then ended, is

As  of  December  31,  2013  there  was  $0.1  million  of  total  unrecognized  compensation  cost  related  to  outstanding 
unvested share option awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.03 years.  We expect 
to incur this amount over fiscal years 2014 through 2017. 

Restricted Shares  

In addition to share option grants, the Plan also authorizes the grant of share-based compensation awards in the form 
of restricted common shares.  Under the terms of the Plan, these restricted shares, which are considered to be outstanding 
shares from the date of grant, typically vest over a period ranging from one to five years.  In addition, the Company pays 
dividends on restricted shares that are charged directly to shareholders’ equity.    

The following table summarizes all restricted share activity to employees and non-employee members of the Board of 

Trustees as of December 31, 2013 and changes during the year then ended:

During  the  years  ended  December  31,  2013,  2012  and  2011,  the  Company  granted  414,743,  270,671,  and  244,134 
restricted shares to employees and non-employee members of the Board of Trustees with weighted average grant date fair 
values of $6.45, $5.36, and $5.12, respectively.  The total fair value of shares vested during the years ended December 31, 
2013, 2012, and 2011 was $1.1 million, $0.6 million, and $0.4 million, respectively.   

As of December 31, 2013, there was $3.4 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted shares 
granted  under  the  Plan,  which  is  expected  to  be  recognized  over  a  weighted-average  period  of  1.7 years.    We  expect  to 
incur $1.3 million of this expense in fiscal year 2014, $1.0 million in fiscal year 2015, $0.6 million in fiscal year 2016, $0.3 
million in fiscal year 2017, and the remainder in fiscal year 2018. 

Deferred Share Units Granted to Trustees 

The Plan allows for the deferral of certain equity grants into the Trustee Deferred Compensation Plan.  The Trustee 
Deferred  Compensation  Plan  authorizes  the  issuance  of  “deferred  share  units”  to  the  Company’s  non-employee  trustees.  
Each deferred share  unit is equivalent  to one common  share of the  Company.   Non-employee  trustees receive an annual 
retainer.  Except as described below, these fees are paid in cash or common shares of the Company. 

Under the Plan, at the Trustee’s election, deferred share units may be credited to non-employee trustees in lieu of the 
payment  of  compensation  in  the  form  of  cash  or  common  shares.    In  addition,  beginning  on  the  date  on  which  deferred 
share  units are  credited to a non-employee trustee, the  number of deferred share  units credited is increased by additional 
F-15 

 
  
  
 
 
 
 
  
  
  
  
  
 
 
 
 
 
  
deferred share units in an amount equal to the relationship of dividends declared to the value of the Company’s common 
shares.  The deferred share units credited to a non-employee trustee are not settled until he or she ceases to be a member of 
the Board of Trustees, at which time an equivalent number of common shares will be issued to the Trustee.  

During the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, three trustees elected to receive at least a portion of their 
compensation  in  deferred  share  units  and  an  aggregate  of  11,817,  39,914,  and  44,379  deferred  share  units,  respectively, 
including dividends that were reinvested for additional share units, were credited to those non-employee trustees based on a 
weighted-average  grant  date  fair  value  of  $6.22,  $4.96,  and  $4.24,  respectively.    During  the  years  ended  December  31, 
2013, 2012, and 2011, the Company incurred expense of $0.1 million, $0.2 million, and $0.1 million, respectively, related 
to deferred share units credited to non-employee trustees in lieu of payment of trustee fees in cash. 

Other Equity Grants 

During  the  years  ended  2013,  2012,  and  2011  the  Company  issued  4,088,  7,566,  and  7,935  unrestricted  common 
shares, respectively, with weighted average grant date fair values of $6.11, $4.95, and $4.72 per share, respectively, to non-
employee members of the Board of Trustees for 50% of their annual retainer compensation.  

Note 7. Deferred Costs 

Deferred  costs  consist  primarily  of  financing  fees  incurred  to  obtain  long-term  financing,  acquired  lease  intangible 
assets, and broker fees and capitalized salaries and related benefits incurred in connection with lease originations.  Deferred 
financing costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the  respective loan agreements.  Deferred leasing 
costs,  lease  intangibles  and  similar  costs  are  amortized  on  a  straight-line  basis  over  the  terms  of  the  related  leases.    At 
December 31, 2013 and 2012, deferred costs consisted of the following:

Deferred  revenue  and  other  liabilities  consist  of  unamortized  fair  value  of  in-place  lease  liabilities  recorded  in 
connection  with  purchase  accounting,  retainages  payable  for  development  and  redevelopment  projects,  and  tenant  rents 
received in advance.  The amortization of in-place lease liabilities is recognized as revenue over the remaining life of the 
leases  (including  option  periods  for  leases  with  below  market  renewal  options)  through  2036.    Tenant  rents  received  in 
advance are recognized as revenue in the period to which they apply, usually the month following their receipt. 

At December 31, 2013 and 2012, deferred revenue and other liabilities consisted of the following:

Note 9. Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures  

The  Company  had  a  50%  noncontrolling  interest  in  an  investment  that  owned    a  limited  service  hotel  at  the  Eddy 
Street  Commons  property.    On  November  1,  2011,  the  hotel  was  sold  by  the  joint  venture  resulting  in  a  gain  of  $8.3 
million.   A portion of the net proceeds from the  sale of this property were utilized to retire the $9.5 million construction 
loan,  and  the  remaining  proceeds  were  distributed  to  the  partners.    The  Company’s  share  of  the  gain  was  $4.3  million, 
including related tax effects.   

Combined  summary  financial  information  of  entities  accounted  for  using  the  equity  method  of  accounting  and  a 
summary  of  the  Company’s  share  of  income  from  these  entities  follows.    The  operating  results  for  the  years  ended

Note 11. Property Acquisition Activities  

The  results  of  operations  for  all  acquired  properties  during  the  years  ended  December  31,  2013,  2012,  and  2011, 
respectively, have been included in continuing operations within our consolidated financial statements since their respective 
dates of acquisition. 

Acquisition  costs  include  transactions  costs  for  completed  and  prospective  acquisitions,  which  are  expensed  as  incurred. 
Acquisition  costs  for  the  years  ended  December  31,  2013  and  2012  were  $2.2  million  and  $0.4  million,  respectively.  
Acquisitions costs for the year ended December 31, 2011 were not material. 

2013 Acquisition Activities 

In 2013, the Company acquired thirteen properties.  In connection with these acquisitions, the Company made preliminary 
allocations  of  the  purchase  price  of  the  properties  primarily  to  the  fair  value  of  tangible  assets  (land,  building,  and 
improvements)  as  well  as  to  intangibles.    All  of  the  properties  were  acquired  with  cash.    Estimated  purchase  price 
allocations are subject to revision within the measurement period, not to exceed one year. 

In January, the Company acquired Shoppes of Eastwood in Orlando, Florida for a purchase price of $11.6 million. 

In April, the Company acquired Cool Springs Market in Franklin, Tennessee (Nashville MSA) for a purchase price 

of $37.6 million. 

In May, the Company acquired Castleton Crossing in Indianapolis, Indiana for a purchase price of $39.0 million.

In  August,  the  Company  acquired  Toringdon  Market  in  Charlotte,  North  Carolina  for  a  purchase  price  of  $15.9 

million.   

In November, the Company acquired a portfolio of nine retail properties located in Texas, Florida, Georgia, and 

Alabama for a purchase price of $304.0 million.   

The fair value of the real estate and related assets acquired were primarily determined using the income approach.  
The income approach required the Company to make assumptions about market leasing rates, tenant-related costs, discount 
rates,  and disposal values.  The  estimates of  fair value  were determined to have primarily relied upon  Level 3 inputs, as 
previously defined.  The ranges of the most significant assumptions utilized in determining the value of the real estate and 
related assets of each building acquired during 2013 are as follows: 

Lease-up period (months) .........................................................................  
Net rental rate per square foot – Anchor (greater than 10,000 square 

feet) ......................................................................................................   $5.40  
Net rental rate per square foot – Small Shops ..........................................  $12.00

The  maturity  date  may  be  extended  for  an  additional  six  months  at  the  Company’s  option  subject  to  certain 
conditions. 

The one month LIBOR interest rate was 0.17% and 0.21% as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  

For  the  year  ended  December  31,  2013,  the  Company  had  loan  borrowing  proceeds  of  $528.6  million  and  loan

the sale of Cedar Hill Village operating property (see Note 12);

Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility and Unsecured Term Loan 

On February 26, 2013, the Company amended the terms of its $200 million unsecured revolving credit facility.  The 
amended terms included an extension of the maturity date to February 26, 2017, which may be extended for an additional 
year at the Company’s option subject to certain conditions, and a reduction in the interest rate to LIBOR plus 165 to 250 
basis points, depending on  the Company’s leverage,  from  LIBOR plus 190 to 290 basis points.  The amended unsecured 
facility has a fee of 25 to 35 basis points on unused borrowings.  The amount the Company may borrow under the amended 
unsecured  facility  may  be  increased  up  to  $400  million,  subject  to  certain  conditions,  including  obtaining  commitments 
from any one or more lenders, whether or not currently party to the credit facility, to provide such increased amounts. 

F-24 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
On  August  21,  2013,  the  Company  amended  its  existing  Unsecured  Term  Loan  (as  amended,  the  “amended  Term 
Loan”)  and  increased  the  borrowing  thereunder  from  $125  million  to  $230  million.   The  amended  Term  Loan  has  a 
maturity date of August 21, 2018, which may be extended for an additional six months at the Company’s option subject to 
certain conditions.  The  interest rate  applicable to the  amended Term Loan  was reduced to LIBOR plus 145 to 245 basis 
points, depending on the Company’s leverage, a decrease of between 45 and 65 basis points across the leverage grid.  The 
amended Term  Loan also provides  for an additional increase  in total borrowing of  up to $300 million,  subject to certain 
conditions, including obtaining commitments from any one or more lender. 

The  amount  that  the  Company  may  borrow  under  the  unsecured  facility  is  based  on  the  value  of  assets  in  its 
unencumbered property pool.  As of December 31, 2013, the Company had 66 unencumbered properties and other assets 
used to calculate the value of the  unencumbered property  pool, of  which 55 were  wholly owned and  five of  which  were 
owned  through  joint  ventures.    The  major  unencumbered  assets  include:  12th  Street  Plaza,  Beechwood  Promenade, 
Broadstone  Station,  Burnt  Store  Promenade,  Castleton  Crossing,  Clay  Marketplace,  Cobblestone  Plaza,  Cool  Springs 
Market,  The  Corner,  Courthouse  Shadows,  Cove  Center,  Estero  Town  Commons,  Fox  Lake  Crossing,  Glendale  Town 
Center,  Hunter’s  Creek  Promenade,  King's  Lake  Square,  Kingwood  Commons,  Lakewood  Promenade,  Lithia  Crossing, 
Market Street Village, Northdale Promenade, Oleander Place, Portofino Shopping Center, Shoppes at Plaza Green, Publix

Plaza,  Traders  Point  II,  Trussville  Promenade  I,  Trussville  Promenade  II,  Toringdon  Market,  Union  Station  Parking 
Garage, Gainesville Plaza, and Waterford Lakes Village.   

In  addition,  the  Company  had  letters  of  credit  outstanding  which  totaled  $4.2  million.    As  of  December  31,  2013, 

there were no amounts advanced against these instruments.   

The  amount  that  the  Company  may  borrow  under  the  unsecured  revolving  credit  facility  is  based  on  the  value  of 
assets in its unencumbered property pool.  As of December 31, 2013, the maximum amount that may be borrowed under 
the unsecured revolving credit facility was $200 million.  The amount available for future borrowings was approximately 
$51 million.  In addition, there are five unencumbered assets that would provide approximately $135 million (unaudited) of 
additional borrowing capacity under the unsecured revolving credit if they were contributed to the unencumbered property 
pool and the accordion feature was exercised.   

The  Company’s  ability  to  borrow  under  the  unsecured  facility  is  subject  to  ongoing  compliance  with  various 
restrictive  covenants,  including  with  respect  to  liens,  indebtedness,  investments,  dividends,  mergers  and  asset  sales.   In 
addition, the unsecured facility requires that the Company satisfy certain financial covenants, including: 

 

a maximum leverage ratio of 60%, with a surge provision permitting the maximum leverage ratio to increase 
to 62.5% for one period of up to two consecutive quarters; 

  Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the unsecured facility) to fixed charges coverage ratio of at least 1.50 to 1; 

  minimum  tangible  net  worth  (defined  as  Total  Asset  Value  less  Total  Indebtedness)  of  $350  million  (plus 

75% of the net proceeds of any future equity issuances); 

 

the aggregate amount of unsecured debt of Company, Operating Partnership and their respective subsidiaries 
not exceeding the lesser of (a) 62.5% of the value of all properties then included in an unencumbered pool of 
properties that satisfy certain requirements and (b) the maximum principal amount of debt which would not 
cause  the  ratio  of  certain  net  operating  income  less  capital  reserves  to  debt  service  under  the  Credit 
Agreement to be less than 1.40 to 1; 

 

ratio of secured indebtedness to total asset value of no more than .55 to 1; 

  minimum unencumbered property pool occupancy rate of 80%; 

 

 

ratio of floating rate debt to total asset value of no more than 0.35 to 1; and 

ratio of recourse debt to total asset value of no more than 0.30 to 1. 

The Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants under the unsecured facility and the Term Loan as of 

December 31, 2013. 

F-25 

 
Under  the  terms  of  the  unsecured  facility  and  Term  Loan,  the  Company  is  permitted  to  make  distributions  to  its 
shareholders of up to 95% of its funds from operations provided that no event of default exists.  If an event of default exists, 
the Company may only make distributions sufficient to maintain its REIT status.  However, the Company may not make 
any distributions if an event of default resulting from nonpayment or bankruptcy exists, or if its obligations under the credit 
facility are accelerated. 

Mortgage and Construction Loans 

Mortgage  and  construction  loans  are  secured  by  certain  real  estate,  are  generally  due  in  monthly  installments  of

Fair Value of Fixed and Variable Rate Debt 

As of December 31, 2013, the fair value of fixed rate debt was approximately $289.9 million compared to the book 
value of $276.5 million.  The fair value  was estimated  using  Level 2 and 3 inputs  with cash  flows discounted at current 
borrowing rates for similar instruments which ranged from 2.79% to 5.45%.  As of December 31, 2013, the fair value of 
variable  rate  debt  was  approximately  $565  million  compared  to  the  book  value  of  approximately  $581  million.  The  fair 
value  was  estimated  using  cash  flows  discounted  at  current  borrowing  rates  for  similar  instruments  which  ranged  from 
1.80% to 3.58%. 

As of December 31, 2012, the fair value of fixed rate debt was approximately $369.4 million compared to the book 
value  of $338.6 million.  The fair value  was estimated  using  Level 2 and 3 inputs  with  cash  flows discounted at current 
borrowing rates for similar instruments which ranged from  2.83% to 4.25%.  As of December 31, 2012, the fair value of 
variable  rate  debt  was  approximately  $369  million  compared  to  the  book  value  of  approximately  $361  million.  The  fair 
value  was  estimated  using  cash  flows  discounted  at  current  borrowing  rates  for  similar  instruments  which  ranged  from 
2.16% to 3.92%. 

Note 14.  Derivative Instruments, Hedging Activities and Other Comprehensive Income  

The  Company  is  exposed  to  capital  market  risk,  including  changes  in  interest  rates.    In  order  to  manage  volatility 
relating  to  variable  interest  rate  risk,  the  Company  enters  into  interest  rate  hedging  transactions  from  time  to  time.    The 
Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes nor does the Company currently have any derivatives 

F-26 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
that are not designated as cash flow hedges.  The Company has agreements with each of its derivative counterparties that 
contain  a  provision  that  if  the  Company  defaults  on  any  of  its  indebtedness,  including a  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.   As  of  December  31,  2013,  the  Company  was  party  to  various  consolidated  cash  flow  hedge  agreements 
totaling  $326.8  million,  which  effectively  fix  certain  variable  rate  debt  over  various  terms  through  2020.    Utilizing  a 
weighted average spread over LIBOR on all variable rate debt resulted in a weighted average interest rate of 3.27%.   

These  interest  rate  hedge  agreements  are  the  only  assets  or  liabilities  that  the  Company  records  at  fair  value  on  a 
recurring  basis.    The  valuation  is  determined  using  widely  accepted  techniques  including  discounted  cash  flow  analysis, 
which  considers  the  contractual  terms  of  the  derivatives  (including  the  period  to  maturity)  and  uses  observable  market-
based  inputs  such  as  interest  rate  curves  and  implied  volatilities.    The  Company  also  incorporates  credit  valuation 
adjustments  to  appropriately  reflect  both  its  own  nonperformance  risk  and  the  respective  counterparty’s  nonperformance 
risk in the fair value measurements.    

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

Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 
of the fair value  hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated  with its derivatives utilize  Level 3 inputs, such  as 
estimates  of  current  credit  spreads  to  evaluate  the  likelihood  of  default  by  itself  and  its  counterparties.      However,  as  of 
December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments 
on  the  overall  valuation  of  its  derivative  positions  and  has  determined  that  the  credit  valuation  adjustments  are  not 
significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives.  As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative valuations 
are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. 

The fair value of the Company’s interest rate hedge assets, net as of December 31, 2013 was $1.1 million including 
accrued interest of $0.3 million.  As of December 31, 2013, $2.8 million is recorded in prepaid and other assets and $1.7 
million  is  recorded  in  accounts  payable  and  accrued  expenses.    The  fair  values  of  the  Company’s  interest  rate  hedge 
liabilities as of December 31, 2012 were $5.9 million,  including accrued interest of $0.2 million as of December 31, 2012, 
and are recorded in accounts payable and accrued expenses.   

The  Company  currently  expects  an  increase  to  interest  expense  of  approximately  $3.5  million  as  the  hedged 
forecasted interest payments occur over the next twelve months.   Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive 
income  related  to  derivatives  will  be  reclassified  to  earnings  over  time  as  the  hedged  items  are  recognized  in  earnings 
during  2013.    During  the  years  ended  December  31,  2013,  2012  and  2011,  $2.8  million,  $1.5  million  and  $3.1  million, 
respectively, were reclassified as a reduction to earnings.   

The Company’s share of net unrealized (losses) gains on its interest rate hedge agreements are the only components 
of  its  accumulated  comprehensive  (loss)  income.    The  following  sets  forth  comprehensive  income  allocable  to  the

Note 15. Lease Information 

Tenant Leases 

The  Company  receives  rental  income  from  the  leasing  of  retail  and  commercial  space  under  operating  leases.    The 
leases generally provide for certain increases in base rent, reimbursement for certain operating expenses and may require 
tenants to pay contingent rentals to the extent their sales exceed a defined threshold.  The weighted average remaining term 
of  the  lease  agreements  is  approximately  6.6  years.    During  the  periods  ended  December  31,  2013, 2012,  and  2011,  the 
Company earned percentage rent of $0.6 million, $0.5 million, and $0.4 million, respectively.   

As of December 31, 2013, future  minimum rentals to be received under non-cancelable operating leases for each of 
the  next  five  years  and  thereafter,  excluding  tenant  reimbursements  of  operating  expenses  and  percentage  rent  based  on 
sales volume, are as follows:

Lease Commitments 

As of December 31, 2013, the Company  was obligated under  five ground leases for approximately 19 acres of land 
with  four landowners, all of which require fixed annual rent payments.  The expiration dates of the initial terms of these 
ground leases range from 2015 to 2083.  These leases have five to ten year extension options ranging in total from 20 to 30 
years. Ground lease expense incurred by the Company on these operating leases for the years ended December 31, 2013, 
2012, and 2011 was $0.7 million, $0.6 million, and $0.7 million, respectively.   

As further discussed in Note 17, the Company is obligated under a ground lease for  one of its operating properties, 
Eddy Street Commons at the University of Notre Dame.  The Company makes ground lease payments to the University of 
Notre Dame for the land beneath the initial phase of the development.  This lease agreement is for a 75-year term at a fixed 
payment  for  the  first  two  years,  after  which  payments  are  based  on  a  percentage  of  certain  gross  revenues.    Contingent 
amounts are not readily estimable and are not reflected in the table below for fiscal years 2014 and beyond. 

Future minimum lease payments due under such leases for the next five years ending December 31 and thereafter are

Note 16. Shareholders’ Equity and Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests 

Common Equity 

In November 2013, the Company completed an equity offering of 36,800,000 common shares at an offering price of 
$6.16 per share for net offering proceeds of $217 million.  The Company initially used the proceeds to repay borrowings 
under  its  unsecured  revolving  credit  facility  and  subsequently  redeployed  the  proceeds  to  fund  a  portion  of  the  purchase 
price of the portfolio of nine unencumbered retail properties (see Note 11). 

In April and May of 2013, the Company completed an equity offering of 15,525,000 common shares at an offering 
price  of  $6.55  per  share  for  net  offering  proceeds  of  $97  million.    The  Company  initially  used  the  proceeds  to  repay 
borrowings under its unsecured revolving credit facility and subsequently redeployed the proceeds to acquire Cool Springs 
Market, Castleton Crossing, and Toringdon Market (see Note 11). 

In October 2012, the  Company completed an equity offering of  12,075,000 common  shares at an offering price  of 
$5.20 per share for net offering proceeds of $59.7 million.  These net proceeds initially were used to reduce the outstanding 
balance  on  the  Company’s  unsecured  revolving  credit  facility,  and  subsequently  were  redeployed  to  acquire  Publix  at 
Woodruff  and  Shoppes  at  Plaza  Green  in  Greenville,  South  Carolina  and  Shoppes  at  Eastwood  in  Orlando,  Florida  (see 
Note 11) and to fund redevelopment activities.   

Accrued but unpaid distributions on common shares and units were $8.2 million and $5.1 million as of December 31, 
2013 and 2012, respectively, and are included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated 
balance sheets.  These distributions were paid in January of the following year. 

The  Company  has  entered  into  Equity  Distribution  Agreements  with  certain  sales  agents  pursuant  to  which  it  may 
sell, from time to time, up to an aggregate amount of $50 million of its common shares.  During the year ended December 
31, 2013, no common shares were issued under these Equity Distribution Agreements. 

Preferred Equity 

In March 2012, the Company completed an offering of 1,300,000 shares of 8.25% Series A Cumulative Redeemable 
Perpetual Preferred Shares at an offering price of $25.12 per share for net offering proceeds of $31.3 million.  These net 
proceeds were utilized to reduce the outstanding balance on the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility. 

The Series A preferred shares have no stated maturity date although they may be redeemed, at the Company’s option, 

beginning in December 2015. 

Accrued but  unpaid distributions on the Series  A preferred shares  were  $0.7  million  as  of December 31,  2013 and 
2012, respectively and are included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance 
sheets.  These distributions were paid in March of the following year. 

Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan 

The  Company  maintains  a  Dividend  Reinvestment  and  Share  Purchase  Plan  (the  “Dividend  Reinvestment  Plan”) 
which  offers  investors  a  dividend  reinvestment  component  to  invest  all  or  a  portion  of  the  dividends  on  their  common 
shares, or cash distributions on their units in the Operating Partnership, in additional common shares.  In addition, the direct 
share purchase component permits Dividend Reinvestment Plan participants and new investors to purchase common shares 
by making optional cash investments with certain restrictions. 

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests 

Concurrent  with  the  Company’s  IPO  and  related  formation  transactions,  certain  individuals  received  units  of  the 
Operating Partnership in exchange for their interests in certain properties.  These limited partners were granted the right to 
redeem Operating Partnership units on or after August 16, 2005 for cash or, at our election, common shares in an amount 
equal to the market value of an equivalent number of common shares at the time of redemption.  Such common shares must 
be  registered,  which  is  not  fully  in  the  Company’s  control.    Therefore,  the  redeemable  noncontrolling  interest  is  not 
F-29 

 
reflected in shareholder’s equity.  The Company also has the right to redeem the Operating Partnership units directly from 
the limited partner in exchange for either cash in the amount specified above or a number of common shares equal to the 
number  of  units  being  redeemed.    For  the  years  ended  December  31,  2013,  2012,  and  2011,  respectively,  90,000, 
1,103,714, and 16,000 Operating Partnership units were exchanged for the same number of common shares.   

Note 17. Quarterly Financial Data (Unaudited)

Note 18. Commitments and Contingencies  

Eddy Street Commons at Notre Dame 

Phase I of Eddy Street Commons at the University of Notre Dame, located adjacent to the university in South Bend, 
Indiana, was substantially completed and moved to the operating portfolio in the fourth quarter of 2010.  This multi-phase 
project includes retail, office, a limited service hotel, a parking garage, apartments, and residential units and is expected to 
include a full service hotel.   

The  City  of  South  Bend  has  contributed  $35  million  to  the  development,  funded  by  tax  increment  financing  (TIF) 
bonds issued by the City and a cash commitment from the City, both of which were used for the construction of the parking 
garage  and  infrastructure  improvements  to  this  project.    The  majority  of  the  bonds  will  be  funded  by  real  estate  tax 
payments made by the Company and subject to reimbursement from the tenants of the property; however, the Company has 
no obligations to repay or guarantee the bonds.  If there are delays in the development,  the Company is obligated to pay 
certain fees.  However, it has an agreement with the City of South Bend to limit its exposure to a maximum of $0.4 million 
as to such fees.  In addition, the Company will not be in default concerning other obligations under the agreement with the 
City of South Bend and its completion guarantee with the University of Notre Dame so long as it commences and diligently 
pursues the completion of its obligations under that agreement. 

Other Commitments and Contingencies 

The  Company  is  not  subject  to  any  material  litigation  nor,  to  management’s  knowledge,  is  any  material  litigation 
currently threatened against the Company other than routine litigation, claims and administrative proceedings arising in the 
ordinary course of business.  Management believes that such routine litigation, claims and administrative proceedings will 
not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. 

The  Company  is  obligated  under  various  completion  guarantees  with  lenders  and  lease  agreements  with  tenants  to 
complete all or portions of its development and redevelopment projects. The Company believes it currently has sufficient 
financing  in  place  to  fund  these  projects  and  expect  to  do  so  primarily  through  existing  or  new  construction  loans.    In 
addition, if necessary, it may make draws on its unsecured facility.   

As  of  December  31,  2013,  the  Company  had  outstanding  letters  of  credit  totaling  $4.2  million.    At  that  date,  there 

were no amounts advanced against these instruments.

Note 19. Employee 401(k) Plan 

The Company maintains a 401(k) plan for employees under which it matches 100% of the employee’s contribution up 
to 3% of the employee’s salary and 50% of the employee’s contribution  over 3% and up to 5% of the employee’s salary, 
not  to  exceed  an  annual  maximum  of  $17,500,  except  in  certain  limited  circumstances.    The  Company  contributed  $0.2 
million to this plan for each of the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011.

Note 22. Subsequent Events   

Agreement and Plan of Merger 

On February 9, 2014, the Company signed a definitive merger agreement with Inland Diversified Real Estate 

Trust, Inc. (“Inland Diversified”), pursuant to which Inland Diversified will merge with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary 
of the Company in a stock-for-stock exchange with a transaction value of approximately $2.1 billion (unaudited), which 
includes the assumption of approximately $0.9 billion (unaudited) of debt.   

Inland Diversified’s retail portfolio that the Company plans to acquire is comprised of 57 properties that are 95.3% 

(unaudited) leased as of December 31, 2013.  The properties are located in existing markets of the Company and new 
markets including Westchester, New York, Bayonne, New Jersey, Las Vegas, Nevada, Virginia Beach, Virginia, and Salt 
Lake City, Utah.  The Company also plans to acquire from Inland Diversified certain multifamily assets that the Company 
expects to sell following the close of the merger.

Under the terms of the merger agreement, Inland Diversified’s stockholders will receive newly issued common 

shares of beneficial interest of the Company in exchange for each share of Inland Diversified common stock based on the 
following: 

                  1.707 shares of the Company for each share of Inland Diversified common stock, so long as the reference price for 

the Company’s shares (defined below) is equal to or less than $6.36; 

                  A floating ratio if the Company’s reference price is more than $6.36 or less than $6.58; such ratio determined by 

dividing $10.85 by the Company’s reference price; 

                  1.650 shares of the Company for each share of Inland Diversified common stock if the Company’s reference price 

is $6.58 or greater; 

                  The reference price is the volume-weighted average trading price of the Company’s common shares for the ten 
consecutive trading days ending on the third trading day preceding Inland Diversified’s stockholder meeting. 

The merger is expected to close late in the second quarter or in the third quarter of 2014, subject to the approval of 

shareholders of both companies and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions. 

Property Sale

of $5.3 million.  There was a minor loss on the sale.
