BUSINESS Overview SITE Centers Corp., an Ohio corporation (the “Company” or “SITE Centers”), a self-administered and self-managed Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”), is in the business of acquiring, owning, developing, redeveloping, leasing and managing shopping centers. Unless otherwise provided, references herein to the Company or SITE Centers include SITE Centers Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures. The Company is self-administered and self-managed, and therefore, has not engaged, nor does it expect to retain, any REIT advisor. The Company manages all of the Portfolio Properties as defined herein. At December 31, 2020, the Company owned approximately 43.4 million total square feet of gross leasable area (“GLA”) through all its properties (wholly-owned and joint venture) and managed approximately 9.6 million total square feet of GLA for Retail Value Inc. (“RVI”), an owner and operator of shopping centers listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The primary source of the Company’s income is generated from the rental of the Company’s Portfolio Properties to tenants. The Company’s shopping centers and land are collectively referred to as the “Portfolio Properties.” In addition, the Company generates revenue from its management contracts with its unconsolidated joint venture assets and RVI. On July 1, 2018, SITE Centers completed the spin-off of RVI. At the time of the spin-off, RVI owned 48 shopping centers, comprised of 36 continental U.S. assets and all 12 of SITE Centers’ shopping centers in Puerto Rico, representing $2.7 billion of gross book asset value and 16 million square feet of GLA. Strategy The overall investment, operating and financing policies of the Company, which govern a variety of activities, such as capital allocations, dividends and status as a REIT, are determined by management and the Board of Directors. Although management and the Board of Directors have no present intention to materially amend or revise the Company’s policies, the Board of Directors may do so from time to time without a vote of the Company’s shareholders. The Company’s mission is to own and manage open-air shopping centers located in suburban, high household income communities. The Company strives to deliver attractive total shareholder return through earnings and cash flow growth, a sustainable dividend and a strong balance sheet that is well positioned through various economic cycles. As discussed below, the ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and secondary social and economic effects on the Company’s results of operations, financial position, liquidity and capital resources remains unclear and cannot be reasonably determined or forecasted at this time. Looking forward, growth opportunities within the core property operations include rental increases and continued lease-up of the portfolio and several tactical and major redevelopment opportunities. Having largely completed its deleveraging plans, management intends to use proceeds from future sales of lower growth assets, including sales to newly formed joint ventures, largely to fund opportunistic investments in assets that offer growth potential through specialized leasing and tactical redevelopment efforts. 3 The Company believes the following serve as cornerstones for the execution of its strategy: • • • • • Maximization of recurring cash flows through strong leasing and core property operations; Enhancement of property cash flows through creative, proactive tactical redevelopment efforts that result in the profitable adaptation of assets to better suit dynamic retail tenant and community demands; Growth in Company cash flows through capital recycling, especially the redeployment of capital from mature, slower growing assets into opportunistic acquisitions at attractive rates that offer leasing and redevelopment potential; Risk mitigation through continuous focus on maintaining prudent leverage levels and lengthy average debt maturities, as well as access to a diverse selection of capital sources, including the secured and unsecured debt markets, equity markets, a large unsecured line of credit and equity from a wide range of joint venture partners and Sustainability of growth through a constant focus on relationships with investor, tenant, employee, community and environmental constituencies. COVID-19 Pandemic In March 2020, the World Health Organization categorized COVID-19 as a pandemic, and it continues to spread throughout the United States and other countries across the world. Beginning in mid-March, federal, state and local governments took various actions to limit the spread of COVID-19, including ordering the temporary closure of non-essential businesses (which included many of the Company’s tenants) and imposing significant social distancing guidelines and restrictions on the continued operations of essential businesses and the subsequent reopening of non-essential businesses. In addition, in order to safeguard the health of its employees and their families, the Company closed all of its offices in March 2020 and successfully transitioned to working remotely. While the Company reopened its Corporate Headquarters in Cleveland, Ohio, and select regional offices on a voluntary basis in October 2020, the majority of the Company’s employees continue to work remotely. The Company has not established a date for employees to return to the office on a full-time basis. To date, the Company’s leasing and administrative operations have not been significantly impacted by the pandemic as the Company’s significant investments in its IT infrastructure and systems in prior years, which facilitated the transition to a remote working environment. As of February 12, 2021, all of the Company’s properties remain open and operational with 98% of tenants, at the Company’s share and based on average base rents, open for business. This compares to an open rate low of 45% in April 2020. The primary tenant categories that currently are still not fully reopened are theaters, fitness and local restaurants. The COVID-19 pandemic had no impact on the Company’s collection of rents for the first quarter of 2020, but it had a significant impact on the collection of rents for April 2020 through January 31, 2021. The quarterly rent payment rates as of February 12, 2021, determined on a pro rata basis (at the Company’s share and properties received from the BRE DDR Joint Ventures at 100% ownership), for each quarterly reporting period since March 2020 and updated for subsequent cash receipts, are reflected as follows: Second Quarter 2020 Third Quarter 2020 Fourth Quarter 2020 January 2021 As of February 12, 2021 As of October 23, 2020 As of July 24, 2020 79% 70% 64% 4 88% 84% 71% N/A 94% 90% N/A N/A 94% The Company calculates the aggregate percentage of rents paid by comparing the amount of tenant payments received as of the date presented to the amount billed to tenants during the period, which billed amount includes abated rents, rents subject to deferral arrangements and rents owing from bankrupt tenants that were in possession of the space and billed. For the purposes of reporting the percentage of aggregate base rents collected for a given period, when rents subject to deferral arrangements are later paid, those payments are allocated to the period in which the rent was originally owed. Although rent collection levels continued to improve through January 2021, relative to the second quarter, collection levels remain below historical averages and future rent collection may be negatively impacted by further surges in COVID-19 contagion in 2021 and any implementation of additional restrictions on tenant businesses as a result thereof. The ultimate impact of the pandemic and secondary social and economic effects on the Company’s results of operations, financial position, liquidity and capital resources remains unclear and cannot be reasonably determined or forecasted at this time. For a further discussion of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business, see Item 1A. Risk Factors in Part II of this Report on Form 10-K and “Liquidity, Capital Resources and Financing Activities” and “Economic Conditions” included in Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations in Part II of this Report on Form 10-K. Narrative Description of Business The Company’s portfolio as of December 31, 2020, consisted of 138 shopping centers (including 60 centers owned through joint ventures) and more than 400 acres of undeveloped land (of which approximately 80 acres are owned through unconsolidated joint ventures). In February 2021, approximately 70 acres of undeveloped land held through an unconsolidated joint venture were sold. The shopping centers are located in 22 states. The following tables present the operating statistics affecting base and percentage rental revenues summarized by the following portfolios: pro rata combined shopping center portfolio, wholly-owned shopping center portfolio and joint venture shopping center portfolio: Centers owned (at 100%) Aggregate occupancy rate Average annualized base rent per occupied square foot Centers owned Aggregate occupancy rate Average annualized base rent per occupied square foot Recent Developments Pro Rata Combined Shopping Center Portfolio December 31, 2020 2019 138 89.0% 170 90.8% $ 18.50 $ 18.25 Wholly-Owned Shopping Centers December 31, 2020 2019 Joint Venture Shopping Centers December 31, 2020 2019 78 69 60 101 89.2% 90.7% 87.3% 90.7% $ 18.75 $ 18.80 $ 15.36 $ 14.90 See Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, for information on certain recent developments of the Company, which is incorporated herein by reference to such information. 5 Tenants and Competition The Company has established close relationships with a large number of major national and regional tenants. The Company’s management is associated with, and actively participates in, many shopping center and REIT industry organizations. Notwithstanding these relationships, numerous real estate companies and developers, private and public, compete with the Company in leasing space in shopping centers to tenants. The Company competes with other real estate companies and developers in terms of rental rate, property location, availability of space, management services and property condition. The Company’s five largest tenants based on the Company’s aggregate annualized base rental revenues, including its proportionate share of joint venture aggregate annualized base rental revenues, are TJX Companies, Inc., Bed Bath & Beyond Inc., Dick’s Sporting Goods, Inc., PetSmart, Inc. and Michaels Companies, Inc., representing 5.9%, 3.2%, 2.8%, 2.6% and 2.4%, respectively, of the Company’s aggregate annualized base rental revenues at December 31, 2020. For more information on the Company’s tenants, see Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” under the caption “Company Fundamentals”. Qualification as a Real Estate Investment Trust As of December 31, 2020, the Company met the qualification requirements of a REIT under Sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). As a result, the Company, with the exception of its taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”), will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent it meets certain requirements of the Code. Human Capital Management As of December 31, 2020, the Company’s workforce was comprised of 323 full-time equivalent employees compared to 363 full-time equivalent employees at December 31, 2019. At the end of 2020, the Company’s workforce was approximately 38% male and 62% female, and women represented approximately 44% of the Company’s managers (defined by reference to the EEO-1 job class categories to include executive/senior-level officials and managers and first/mid-level officials and managers). The ethnicity of the Company’s workforce at the end of 2020 was approximately 73% White, 13% Hispanic, 11% Black, 1% Asian and 2% other (based on EEO categories). Of the Company’s employees, 68% of employees were assigned to work in the corporate headquarters in Beachwood, Ohio, with the rest working in regional offices or remotely. Many of the Company’s employees have a long tenure with the Company, with approximately 78% of the Company’s employees having been with the Company for over 5 years and 54% for over 10 years. The Company’s primary human capital management objective is to attract, develop, engage and retain the highest quality talent. To support this objective, the Company offers competitive pay and benefit programs, a broad focus on wellness and flexible work arrangements designed to allow employees to meet personal and family needs. The Company also takes steps to measure and improve upon its level of employee engagement and to create a diverse and inclusive workplace. The Company’s employees are expected to exhibit honest, ethical and respectful conduct in the workplace. At least once every two years the Company requires its employees to complete training modules on sexual harassment and discrimination and to acknowledge and certify their compliance with the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. Senior members of its accounting department are also required to acknowledge and agree to the Company’s Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers on an annual basis. The Company’s culture is also underpinned by its employees’ commitment to the Company’s core values of being Fearless, Authentic, Curious and Thoughtful (the Company’s Matters of FACT) in the conduct of their responsibilities. 6 In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, beginning in March 2020 the Company provided all employees capable of performing their responsibilities in a remote work environment with the equipment and resources necessary to do so. The Company also implemented safety protocols to protect the limited number of its employees whose job functions required them to continue to report to the Company’s offices. These protocols include complying with social distancing and other health and safety standards as required by federal, state and local government agencies, taking into consideration guidelines issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. With these protocols in place, the Company reopened the Company’s offices in October 2020 in order to allow employees to return on a voluntary basis, though most employees continue to work remotely. The Company has not established a date for employees to return to the office on a full-time basis. Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability At SITE Centers, the term “sustainability” is defined as: sustainable value, sustainable growth, sustainable partnerships, sustainable property operations, sustainable employee health and wellness, sustainable governance policies and sustainable interaction with our stakeholders and communities. Incorporating sustainable thinking into each one of these criteria allows sustainability to be a mindset at SITE Centers rather than just a word. Detailed information regarding the Company’s approach to sustainability can be found on the Company’s website in its Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability Report. This report is based on the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standard, which summarizes environmental and social performance. The 2019 reporting year was also the first year of reporting against the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) standards. The content of the Company’s sustainability reports is not incorporated by reference into this Annual Report on Form 10-K or in any other report or document filed with the SEC, unless expressly noted.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS Summary of Risk Factors The following is a summary of material risks that could affect the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows. The risks summarized below are discussed in greater detail in the risk factors that follow and are not the only risks the Company faces. The Company’s business operations could also be affected by additional factors that are not presently known to it or that the Company currently considers to be immaterial to its operations. Investors should carefully consider 8 each of the following risks and all of the other information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. If any of the following risks actually occur, the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations could be negatively affected. Risks Related to the Company’s Business, Properties and Strategies • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • The economic performance and value of the Company’s shopping centers depend on many factors, including the economic climate and local conditions, each of which could have an adverse impact on the Company’s cash flows and operating results. E-commerce may continue to have an adverse impact on the Company’s tenants and business. The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and will likely continue to have, a significant impact on the Company and its tenants’ businesses. The Company relies on major tenants, making it vulnerable to changes in the business and financial condition of, or demand for its space by, such tenants. The Company’s dependence on rental income may adversely affect its ability to meet its debt obligations and make distributions to shareholders. The Company’s expenses may remain constant or increase even if income from the Company’s properties decreases. Property ownership through partnerships and joint ventures could limit the Company’s control of those investments and reduce its expected return. The Company’s real estate assets may be subject to impairment charges. The Company’s acquisition activities may not produce the cash flows that it expects and may be limited by competitive pressures or other factors. Real estate property investments are illiquid; therefore, the Company may not be able to dispose of properties when desired or on favorable terms. The Company’s development, redevelopment and construction activities could affect its operating results. The Company’s real estate investments may contain environmental risks that could adversely affect its results of operations. The Company’s properties could be subject to damage from natural disasters and weather- related factors; an uninsured loss on the Company’s properties or a loss that exceeds the limits of the Company’s insurance policies could subject the Company to lost capital or revenue on those properties. Violent crime, including terrorism and mass shootings, or civil unrest may affect the markets in which the Company operates its business and its profitability. A disruption, failure or breach of the Company’s networks or systems, including as a result of cyber-attacks, could harm its business. 9 Risks Relating to the Company’s Indebtedness and Capital Structure • • • • • • • • The Company depends on external sources of capital. Disruptions in the financial markets could affect the Company’s ability to obtain financing on reasonable terms and have other adverse effects on the Company and the market price of the Company’s common shares. Changes in the Company’s credit ratings or the debt markets, as well as market conditions in the credit markets, could adversely affect the Company’s publicly traded debt and revolving credit facilities. The Company’s ability to increase its debt could adversely affect its cash flows. The Company’s cash flows and operating results could be adversely affected by required payments of debt or related interest and other risks of its debt financing. The Company’s financial condition could be adversely affected by financial covenants. The Company may incur significant debt prepayment costs as a result of repaying indebtedness prior to its stated maturity. The Company has variable-rate debt and interest rate risk. The Company may be adversely affected by the potential discontinuation of LIBOR. Risks Related to the Company’s Taxation as a REIT • • • • • • If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to U.S. federal income tax as a regular corporation and could have significant tax liability. Compliance with REIT requirements may negatively affect the Company’s operating decisions. The Company may be forced to borrow funds to maintain its REIT status, and the unavailability of such capital on favorable terms at the desired times, or at all, may cause the Company to curtail its investment activities and/or to dispose of assets at inopportune times, which could materially and adversely affect the Company. Dividends paid by REITs generally do not qualify for reduced tax rates. Certain foreign shareholders may be subject to U.S. federal income tax on gain recognized on a disposition of the Company’s common shares if the Company does not qualify as a “domestically controlled” REIT. Legislative or other actions affecting REITs could have a negative effect on the Company. Risks Related to the Company’s Organization, Structure and Ownership • • Provisions of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and Code of Regulations could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control, even if that change may be considered beneficial by some of the Company’s shareholders. The Company has significant shareholders who may exert influence on the Company as a result of their considerable beneficial ownership of the Company’s common shares, and their interests may differ from the interests of other shareholders. 10 • The Company’s Board of Directors may change significant corporate policies without shareholder approval. Risks Related to the Company’s Common Shares • • Changes in market conditions could adversely affect the market price of the Company’s publicly traded securities. The Company may issue additional securities without shareholder approval. General Risks Relating to Investments in the Company’s Securities • • • The Company may be unable to retain and attract key management personnel. The Company is subject to litigation that could adversely affect its results of operations. Changes in accounting standards issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or other standard-setting bodies may adversely affect the Company’s business. The risks summarized above are discussed in greater detail below. Risks Related to the Company’s Business, Properties and Strategies The Economic Performance and Value of the Company’s Shopping Centers Depend on Many Factors, Each of Which Could Have an Adverse Impact on the Company’s Cash Flows and Operating Results The economic performance and value of the Company’s real estate holdings can be affected by many factors, including the following: • • • • • • • Changes in the national, regional, local and international economic climate, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic; Local conditions, such as an oversupply of space or a reduction in demand for real estate in the area and population, demographic and employment trends; The attractiveness of the properties to tenants; The increase in consumer purchases through the internet; The Company’s ability to provide adequate management services and to maintain its properties; Increased operating costs if these costs cannot be passed through to tenants and The expense of periodically renovating, repairing and re-letting spaces. Because the Company’s properties consist of retail shopping centers, the Company’s performance is linked to general economic conditions in the retail market, including conditions that affect consumers’ purchasing behaviors and disposable income. The market for retail space has been, and may 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, increases in consumer internet purchases and the excess amount of retail space in a number of markets. The 11 Company’s performance is affected by its tenants’ results of operations, which are impacted by macroeconomic factors that affect consumers’ ability to purchase goods and services. If the price of the goods and services offered by its tenants materially increases, including as a result of increases in taxes or tariffs resulting from, among other things, potential changes in the Code, the operating results and the financial condition of the Company’s tenants and demand for retail space could be adversely affected. To the extent that any of these conditions occur, they are likely to affect market rents for retail space. In addition, the Company may face challenges in the management and maintenance of its properties or incur increased operating costs, such as real estate taxes, insurance and utilities, that may make its properties unattractive to tenants. In addition, the Company’s properties compete with numerous shopping venues, including regional malls, outlet centers, other shopping centers and e-commerce, in attracting and retaining retailers. As of December 31, 2020, leases at the Company’s properties (including the proportionate share of unconsolidated properties) were scheduled to expire on a total of approximately 7% of leased GLA during 2021. For those leases that renew, rental rates upon renewal may be lower than current rates. For those leases that do not renew, the Company may not be able to promptly re-lease the space on favorable terms or with reasonable capital investments. In these situations, the Company’s financial condition, operating results and cash flows could be adversely impacted. E-Commerce May Continue to Have an Adverse Impact on the Company’s Tenants and Business E-commerce has been broadly embraced by the public, including throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, and growth in the e-commerce share of overall consumer sales is likely to continue in the future. Many of the Company’s tenants have been negatively impacted by increasing competition from internet retailers and this trend could affect the way current and future tenants lease space. For example, the migration toward e-commerce has led many omni-channel retailers to reduce the number and size of their traditional “brick and mortar” locations, use such locations for curbside pickup of items ordered online and increasingly rely on e-commerce and alternative distribution channels. The Company cannot predict with certainty how growth in e-commerce will impact the demand for space at its properties or how much revenue will be generated at traditional store locations in the future. If the Company is unable to anticipate and respond promptly to trends in retailer and consumer behavior, or if demand for traditional retail space significantly decreases, the Company’s occupancy levels and operating results could be materially and adversely affected. The COVID-19 Pandemic Has Had, and Will Likely Continue to Have, a Significant Impact on the Company and Its Tenants’ Businesses The Company’s business and the businesses of its tenants have been, and are likely to continue to be, significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and the public perception of and reaction to the related risks. Beginning in March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in the closure of many tenant businesses and substantially reduced foot traffic at open tenant businesses as a result of social distancing restrictions. Beginning in April 2020, a significant number of tenants failed to pay some or all of their monthly rent obligations, and the Company and its joint ventures received a substantial number of tenant requests for rent relief and claims for abatement. In many cases, the Company agreed to defer these unpaid tenant rent obligations until 2021 and beyond, although it remains uncertain whether these rents will ultimately be paid in accordance with the terms of the deferral arrangements. Social distancing measures, local regulations and the public’s concern regarding health risks posed by the pandemic continue to adversely impact many tenants’ sales and operations and their ability to finance their businesses and satisfy their obligations, including rent owed to the Company and its joint ventures. Although rent collection levels improved in the third and fourth quarters of 2020 relative to the second quarter, rent collection levels remained below historical averages and future collections may be negatively impacted by continuing surges in COVID-19 contagion in 2021 and continuing restrictions on tenant businesses as a result thereof. 12 The resumption of normalized business activity levels and conditions remains uncertain and may be adversely impacted by state and local government restrictions, disruptions in inventory supply chains from local and international suppliers, staffing challenges, the public’s perception of continued health risks relating to COVID-19 and the availability and acceptance of related treatments and vaccines. Furthermore, in certain instances, the COVID-19 pandemic and local resurgences in contagion have caused prospective tenants to abandon or delay new store growth plans or choose to lease fewer spaces and may ultimately result in diminished demand for space and lower rents for the Company’s properties. Such events may also increase the risk of delays in completing tenant build-outs, delivering space to new tenants and achieving rent commencement dates with respect to recently executed leases. Additionally, the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic have contributed to an increase in retail businesses filing for bankruptcy protection and may accelerate consumers’ adoption of e-commerce within certain retail categories as an alternative to shopping at physical store locations. The Company may not be able to recover any amounts from insurance carriers in order to mitigate the impact of lost tenant revenues. In addition to the impacts and uncertainties listed above, the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly limited the ability of the Company’s employees to access the Company’s offices and properties, which could adversely impact the Company’s ability to manage its properties and complete other operating and administrative functions that are important to its business. Efforts by the Company’s employees to work remotely could also expose the Company to additional risks, such as increased cybersecurity risk. Furthermore, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic could continue to negatively affect global capital markets, which, in turn, could negatively affect the Company’s ability to obtain necessary financing, including property-level refinancing for its joint ventures, on favorable terms, or at all. Reduced rent collections from tenants may also impact the ability of the Company and its joint ventures to satisfy covenants and debt service obligations applicable to their financing arrangements, particularly with respect to mortgage loan indebtedness, and result in the recognition of impairment charges with respect to certain of the Company’s properties. Reduced rent collections from tenants may also have the effect of decreasing management fees collected from the Company’s joint ventures, which are often based on property receipts and may also impact decisions by the Company’s Board of Directors with respect to future dividend policy. The Company’s periodic assessment of tenants’ ability to pay outstanding obligations, including rent obligations deferred because of the COVID-19 pandemic, may also result in reductions to rental revenue on account of previously accrued rents for which collection is no longer considered probable. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic could also exacerbate the risks described herein. Any of the foregoing risks, or related risks that the Company is unable to predict due to changing circumstances relating to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. 13 The Company Relies on Major Tenants, Making It Vulnerable to Changes in the Business and Financial Condition of, or Demand for Its Space by, Such Tenants As of December 31, 2020, the annualized base rental revenues of the Company’s tenants that are equal to or exceed 1.5% of the Company’s aggregate annualized shopping center base rental revenues, including its proportionate share of joint venture aggregate annualized shopping center base rental revenues, are as follows: Tenant TJX Companies, Inc. Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. Dick’s Sporting Goods, Inc. PetSmart, Inc. Michaels Companies, Inc. Ulta Beauty, Inc. Gap Inc. Nordstrom, Inc. Barnes & Noble Booksellers, Inc. Best Buy Co., Inc. Ross Stores, Inc. Kohl’s Department Stores, Inc. The Kroger Co. AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. % of Annualized Base Rental Revenues 5.9% 3.2% 2.8% 2.6% 2.4% 2.1% 2.0% 1.9% 1.9% 1.9% 1.9% 1.8% 1.8% 1.6% The retail shopping sector has been affected by economic conditions, including increases in consumer internet purchases, as well as the competitive nature of the retail business and the competition for market share where stronger retailers have out-positioned some of the weaker retailers. In many cases, these shifts have been accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic and have resulted in weaker retailers losing market share and, in some cases, declaring bankruptcy and/or closing stores. In some cases, major tenants may declare bankruptcy or might take advantage of early termination provisions in their leases in connection with a plan to close stores. Bankruptcies, store closures and reduced expansion plans by conventional department stores and national chains in recent years have resulted in a smaller overall number of tenants requiring large store formats. As information becomes available regarding the status of the Company’s leases with tenants in financial distress or as the future plans for their spaces change, the Company may be required to write off and/or accelerate depreciation and amortization expense associated with a significant portion of the tenant-related deferred charges in future periods. The Company’s income and ability to meet its financial obligations could also be adversely affected in the event of the bankruptcy, insolvency or significant downturn in the business of one of these tenants or any of the Company’s other major tenants. In addition, the Company’s results could be adversely affected if any of these tenants do not renew their leases as they expire on terms favorable to the Company or at all. The Company’s Dependence on Rental Income May Adversely Affect Its Ability to Meet Its Debt Obligations and Make Distributions to Shareholders Substantially all of the Company’s income is derived from rental income from real property. As a result, the Company’s performance depends on its ability to collect rent from tenants. The Company’s income and funds available for repayment of indebtedness and distribution to shareholders would be negatively affected if a significant number of its tenants, or any of its major tenants, were to do the following: • Experience a downturn in their business that significantly weakens their ability to meet their obligations to the Company; 14 • • • • Delay lease commencements; Decline to extend or renew leases upon expiration; Fail to make rental payments when due or Close stores or declare bankruptcy. Any of these actions could result in the termination of tenants’ leases and the loss of rental income attributable to the terminated leases. Lease terminations by an anchor tenant or a failure by that anchor tenant to occupy the premises may also permit other tenants in the same shopping centers to terminate their leases or reduce the amount of rent they pay under the terms of their leases. In addition, the Company cannot be certain that any tenant whose lease expires will renew that lease or that the Company will be able to re-lease space on economically advantageous terms. The loss of rental revenues from a number of the Company’s major tenants and its inability to replace such tenants may adversely affect the Company’s profitability and its ability to meet debt and other financial obligations and make distributions to shareholders. The Company’s Expenses May Remain Constant or Increase Even if Income from the Company’s Properties Decreases Costs associated with the Company’s business, such as common area expenses, utilities, insurance, real estate taxes, mortgage payments and corporate expenses, are relatively inflexible and generally do not decrease in the event that a property is not fully occupied, rental rates decrease, a tenant fails to pay rent or other circumstances cause the Company’s revenues to decrease. In addition, inflation could result in higher operating costs. If the Company is unable to lower its operating costs when revenues decline and/ or is unable to pass along cost increases to tenants, the Company’s cash flows, profitability and ability to make distributions to shareholders could be adversely impacted. Property Ownership Through Partnerships and Joint Ventures Could Limit the Company’s Control of Those Investments and Reduce Its Expected Return Partnership or joint venture investments may involve risks not otherwise present for investments made solely by the Company, including the possibility that the Company’s partner or co-venturer might become bankrupt, that its partner or co-venturer might at any time have different interests or goals than the Company and that its partner or co-venturer may take action contrary to the Company’s instructions, requests, policies or objectives, including the Company’s policy with respect to maintaining its qualification as a REIT. In addition, the Company’s partner or co-venturer could have different investment criteria that would impact the assets held by the joint venture or its interest in the joint venture, which may also reduce the carrying value of its equity investments if a loss in the carrying value of the investment is realized. These situations could have an impact on the Company’s revenues from its joint ventures. Other risks of joint venture investments include impasse on decisions, such as the decision to sell or finance a property or leasing decisions with anchor tenants, because neither the Company’s partner or co-venturer nor the Company would have full control over the partnership or joint venture. Joint venture platforms typically contain customary buy-sell provisions, which could result in either the sale of the Company’s interest or the use of available cash or borrowings to acquire the Company’s partner’s interest at inopportune times, as well as the termination of applicable management contracts and fees. In addition, the Company is obligated to maintain the REIT status of the Dividend Trust Portfolio joint venture’s REIT subsidiary and may be obligated to maintain the REIT status of future joint venture platforms and the Company’s failure to do so could result in substantial liability to its partner. These factors could limit the return that the Company receives from such investments, cause its cash flows to be lower than its estimates or lead to business conflicts or litigation. There is no limitation under the Company’s Articles of 15 Incorporation, or its Code of Regulations, as to the amount of funds that the Company may invest in partnerships or joint ventures. In addition, a partner or co-venturer may not have access to sufficient capital to satisfy its funding obligations to the joint venture. Furthermore, if credit conditions in the capital markets deteriorate, the Company could be required to reduce the carrying value of its equity method investments if a loss in the carrying value of the investment is realized or considered an other than temporary decline. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had $77.3 million of investments in and advances to unconsolidated joint ventures holding 59 shopping centers. The Company’s Real Estate Assets May Be Subject to Impairment Charges On a periodic basis, the Company assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of its real estate assets and other investments may be impaired. A property’s value is impaired only if the estimate of the aggregate future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) to be generated by the property are less than the carrying value of the property. In the Company’s estimate of projected cash flows, it considers factors such as expected future operating income, trends and prospects, the effects of demand, competition and other factors. If the Company is evaluating the potential sale of an asset or development alternatives, the undiscounted future cash flows considerations include the most likely course of action at the balance sheet date based on current plans, intended holding periods and available market information. The Company is required to make subjective assessments as to whether there are impairments in the value of its real estate assets and other investments. These assessments have a direct impact on the Company’s earnings because recording an impairment charge results in an immediate negative adjustment to earnings. There can be no assurance that the Company will not take additional charges in the future related to the impairment of its assets. Any future impairment could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations in the period in which the charge is taken. The Company’s Acquisition Activities May Not Produce the Cash Flows That It Expects and May Be Limited by Competitive Pressures or Other Factors The Company intends to acquire retail properties to the extent that suitable acquisitions can be made on advantageous terms. Acquisitions of commercial properties entail risks such as the following: • • • • • • • The Company may be unable to identify, or may have difficulty identifying, acquisition opportunities that fit its investment strategy and cost of capital; The Company’s estimates on expected occupancy and rental rates may differ from actual conditions; The Company’s estimates of the costs of any redevelopment or repositioning of acquired properties may prove to be inaccurate; The Company may be unable to operate successfully in new markets where acquired properties are located due to a lack of market knowledge or understanding of local economies; The properties may become subject to environmental liabilities that the Company was unaware of at the time the Company acquired the property; The Company may be unable to successfully integrate new properties into its existing operations or The Company may have difficulty obtaining financing on acceptable terms or paying the operating expenses and debt service associated with acquired properties prior to sufficient occupancy. 16 In addition, the Company may not be in a position or have the opportunity in the future to make suitable property acquisitions on advantageous terms due to competition for such properties with others engaged in real estate investment, some of which may have greater financial resources or a lower cost of capital than the Company. The Company’s inability to successfully acquire new properties may affect the Company’s ability to achieve its anticipated return on investment, which could have an adverse effect on its results of operations. Real Estate Property Investments Are Illiquid; Therefore, the Company May Not Be Able to Dispose of Properties When Desired or on Favorable Terms Real estate investments generally cannot be disposed of quickly. In addition, the Code imposes restrictions, which are not applicable to other types of real estate companies, on the ability of a REIT to dispose of properties. Therefore, the Company may not be able to diversify or alter its portfolio in response to economic conditions or trends in retailer or consumer behavior promptly or on favorable terms. The Company’s inability to quickly respond to such changes or dispose of properties could adversely affect the value of the Company’s portfolio and its ability to repay indebtedness and make distributions to shareholders. The Company’s Development, Redevelopment and Construction Activities Could Affect Its Operating Results The Company intends to continue the selective development, redevelopment and construction of retail properties as opportunities arise. The Company’s development, redevelopment and construction activities include the following risks: • • • • • • • Construction costs of a project may exceed the Company’s original estimates; Occupancy rates and rents at a newly completed property may not be sufficient to make the property profitable; Rental rates per square foot could be less than projected; Financing may not be available to the Company on favorable terms for development of a property; The Company may not complete construction and lease-up on schedule, resulting in increased debt service expense and construction costs; The Company may not be able to obtain, or may experience delays in obtaining, necessary zoning, land use, building, occupancy and other required governmental permits and authorizations and The Company may abandon development or redevelopment opportunities after expending resources to determine feasibility. Additionally, the time frame required for development, construction and lease-up of these properties means that the Company may wait several years for a significant cash return. If any of the above events occur, the development of properties may hinder the Company’s growth and have an adverse effect on its results of operations and cash flows. In addition, new development activities, regardless of whether they are ultimately successful, typically require substantial time and attention from management. 17 The Company’s Real Estate Investments May Contain Environmental Risks That Could Adversely Affect Its Results of Operations The acquisition and ownership of properties may subject the Company to liabilities, including environmental liabilities. The Company’s operating expenses could be higher than anticipated due to the cost of complying with existing or future environmental laws and regulations. In addition, under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, the Company may be considered an owner or operator of real property or to have arranged for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances. As a result, the Company may become liable for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous substances released on or in its properties. The Company may also be liable for other potential costs that could relate to hazardous or toxic substances (including governmental fines and injuries to persons and property). The Company may incur such liability whether or not it knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of such hazardous or toxic substances. Such liability could be of substantial magnitude and divert management’s attention from other aspects of the Company’s business and, as a result, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operating results and financial condition, as well as its ability to make distributions to shareholders. The Company’s Properties Could Be Subject to Damage from Natural Disasters and Weather- Related Factors; An Uninsured Loss on the Company’s Properties or a Loss That Exceeds the Limits of the Company’s Insurance Policies Could Subject the Company to Lost Capital or Revenue on Those Properties The Company’s properties are generally open-air shopping centers. Extreme weather conditions may impact the profitability of the Company’s tenants by decreasing traffic at or hindering access to the Company’s properties, which may decrease the amount of rent the Company collects. Furthermore, a number of the Company’s properties are located in areas that are subject to natural disasters, including Florida and California. Such properties could therefore be affected by rising sea levels, hurricanes, tropical storms, wildfires, whether caused by global climate changes or other factors. The Company maintains all-risk property insurance with limits of $150 million per occurrence and in the aggregate and general liability insurance with limits of $100 million per occurrence and in the aggregate, in each case subject to various conditions, exclusions, deductibles and sub-limits for certain perils such as flood and earthquake. Coverage for a named windstorm for the Company’s continental U.S. properties is subject to a deductible of up to 5% of the total insured value of each property. The amount of any insurance coverage for losses due to damage or business interruption may prove to be insufficient. Should a loss occur that is uninsured or is in an amount exceeding the aggregate limits for the applicable insurance policy, or in the event of a loss that is subject to a substantial deductible under an insurance policy, the Company could lose all or part of its capital invested in, and anticipated revenue from, one or more of the properties, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operating results and financial condition, as well as its ability to make distributions to shareholders. Violent Crime, Including Terrorism and Mass Shootings, or Civil Unrest May Affect the Markets in Which the Company Operates Its Business and Its Profitability Certain of the Company’s properties are located in or near major metropolitan areas or other areas that have experienced, and remain susceptible to, violent crime, including terrorist attacks and mass shootings and civil unrest. Any kind of violent criminal acts, including terrorist acts against public institutions or buildings or modes of public transportation (including airlines, trains or buses), or civil unrest could alter shopping habits, deter customers from visiting the Company’s shopping centers or result in damage to its properties, which would have a negative effect on the Company’s business, the operations of its tenants and the value of its properties. 18 A Disruption, Failure or Breach of the Company’s Networks or Systems, Including as a Result of Cyber-Attacks, Could Harm Its Business The Company relies extensively on computer systems to manage its business. While the Company maintains some of its own critical information technology systems, it also depends on third parties to provide important information technology services relating to several key business functions, such as payroll, human resources, electronic communications and certain finance functions. These systems are subject to damage or interruption from power outages, facility damage, computer or telecommunications failures, computer viruses, security breaches, vandalism, natural disasters, catastrophic events, human error and potential cyber threats, including malicious codes, worms, phishing attacks, ransomware and other sophisticated cyber-attacks. Although the Company and such third parties employ a number of measures to prevent, detect and mitigate cyber threats, including password protection, firewalls, backup servers, threat monitoring and periodic penetration testing, the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access change frequently and there is no guarantee that such efforts will be successful. Should they occur, these threats could compromise the confidential information of the Company’s tenants, employees and third-party vendors; disrupt the Company’s business operations and the availability and integrity of data in the Company’s systems; and result in litigation, violation of applicable privacy and other laws, investigations, actions, fines or penalties. In the event of damage or disruption to the Company’s business due to these occurrences, the Company may not be able to successfully and quickly recover all of its critical business functions, assets and data. Furthermore, while the Company maintains insurance, the coverage may not sufficiently cover all types of losses, claims or fines that may arise. Risks Relating to the Company’s Indebtedness and Capital Structure The Company Depends on External Sources of Capital; Disruptions in the Financial Markets Could Affect the Company’s Ability to Obtain Financing on Reasonable Terms and Have Other Adverse Effects on the Company and the Market Price of the Company’s Common Shares To qualify as a REIT, the Company must, among other things, distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income (excluding any net capital gains) to its stockholders each year. Because of these distribution requirements, the Company has relied on third-party sources of capital, including debt and preferred equity financings, to fund growth opportunities and capital needs. The U.S. and global equity and credit markets have experienced significant price volatility, dislocations and liquidity disruptions in the past, which have caused market prices of many stocks to fluctuate substantially and the spreads on prospective debt financings to widen considerably. These circumstances materially affected liquidity in the financial markets, making terms for certain financings less attractive and, in certain cases, resulting in the unavailability of financing for businesses and assets similar to those operated by the Company. Uncertainty in the equity and credit markets may negatively affect the Company’s ability to access additional financing at reasonable terms or at all, which may negatively affect the Company’s ability to refinance its debt, obtain new financing or make acquisitions. These circumstances may also adversely affect the Company’s tenants, including their ability to enter into new leases, pay their rents when due and renew their leases at rates at least as favorable as their current rates. A prolonged downturn in the equity or credit markets may cause the Company to seek alternative sources of potentially less attractive financing and may require it to adjust its business plan accordingly. In addition, these factors may make it more difficult for the Company to sell properties or may adversely affect the price it receives for properties that it does sell, as prospective buyers may experience increased costs of financing or difficulties in obtaining financing. These events in the equity and credit markets may make it more difficult or costly for the Company to raise capital through the issuance of its equity or debt securities. These disruptions in the financial markets also may have a material adverse effect on the market value of the Company’s common shares and other adverse effects on the Company or the economy in general. There can be no assurances that government responses to the disruptions in the financial 19 markets will restore consumer confidence, stabilize the markets or increase liquidity and the availability of equity or credit financing. Changes in the Company’s Credit Ratings or the Debt Markets, as Well as Market Conditions in the Credit Markets, Could Adversely Affect the Company’s Publicly Traded Debt and Revolving Credit Facilities The market value for the Company’s publicly traded debt depends on many factors, including the following: • • • • The Company’s credit ratings with major credit rating agencies; The prevailing interest rates being paid by, or the market price for publicly traded debt issued by, other companies similar to the Company; The Company’s financial condition, liquidity, leverage, financial performance and prospects and The overall condition of the financial markets. The condition of the financial markets and prevailing interest rates have fluctuated in the past and are likely to fluctuate in the future. The U.S. credit markets have experienced severe dislocations and liquidity disruptions in the past. Furthermore, uncertain market conditions can be exacerbated by leverage. The occurrence of these circumstances in the credit markets and/or additional fluctuations in the financial markets and prevailing interest rates could have an adverse effect on the Company’s ability to access capital and its cost of capital. In addition, credit rating agencies continually review their ratings for the companies they follow, including the Company. For example, credit rating agencies may review and change their credit ratings for the Company as a result of disruptions to retail tenants and property-level revenues caused by macroeconomic trends or other developments such as the COVID-19 pandemic. The credit rating agencies also evaluate the real estate industry as a whole and may change their credit rating for the Company based on their overall view of the industry. Any rating organization that rates the Company’s publicly traded debt may lower the rating or decide, at its sole discretion, not to rate the Company’s publicly traded debt. The ratings of the Company’s publicly traded debt are based primarily on the rating organization’s assessment of the likelihood of timely payment of interest when due and the payment of principal on the maturity date. A negative change in the Company’s rating could have an adverse effect on the Company’s credit facilities and market price of the Company’s publicly traded debt, as well as the Company’s ability to access capital and its cost of capital. The Company’s Ability to Increase Its Debt Could Adversely Affect Its Cash Flows At December 31, 2020, the Company had outstanding debt of $1.9 billion (excluding its proportionate share of unconsolidated joint venture mortgage debt aggregating $0.2 billion as of December 31, 2020). The Company intends to maintain a conservative ratio of debt to asset value. The Company is subject to limitations under its credit facilities and indentures relating to its ability to incur additional debt; however, the Company’s organizational documents do not contain any limitation on the amount or percentage of indebtedness it may incur. If the Company were to become more highly leveraged, its cash needs to fund debt service would increase accordingly. Under such circumstances, the Company’s risk of decreases in cash flow due to fluctuations in the real estate market, reliance on its major tenants, acquisition and development costs and the other factors discussed in these risk factors could subject the Company to an even greater adverse impact on its financial condition and results of operations. In addition, increased leverage could increase the risk of default on the Company’s debt obligations, which could further reduce 20 its cash available for distribution and adversely affect its ability to dispose of its portfolio on favorable terms, which could cause the Company to incur losses and reduce its cash flows. The Company’s Cash Flows and Operating Results Could Be Adversely Affected by Required Payments of Debt or Related Interest and Other Risks of Its Debt Financing The Company is generally subject to the risks associated with debt financing. These risks include the following: • • • • • • The Company’s cash flows may not satisfy required payments of principal and interest; The Company may not be able to refinance existing indebtedness on its properties as necessary, or the terms of the refinancing may be less favorable to the Company than the terms of existing debt; Required debt payments are not reduced if the economic performance of any property declines; Debt service obligations could reduce funds available for distribution to the Company’s shareholders and funds available for development, redevelopment and acquisitions; Any default on the Company’s indebtedness could result in acceleration of those obligations, which could result in the acceleration of other debt obligations and possible loss of property to foreclosure and The Company may not be able to finance necessary capital expenditures for purposes such as re-leasing space on favorable terms or at all. If a property is mortgaged to secure payment of indebtedness and the Company cannot or does not make the mortgage payments, it may have to surrender the property to the lender with a consequent loss of any prospective income and equity value from such property, which may also adversely affect the Company’s credit ratings. Any of these risks can place strains on the Company’s cash flows, reduce its ability to grow and adversely affect its results of operations. The Company’s Financial Condition Could Be Adversely Affected by Financial Covenants The Company’s credit facilities and the indentures under which its senior unsecured indebtedness is, or may be, issued contain certain financial and operating covenants, including, among other things, leverage ratios and certain coverage ratios, as well as limitations on the Company’s ability to incur secured and unsecured indebtedness, sell all or substantially all of its assets and engage in mergers and certain acquisitions. These credit facilities and indentures also contain customary default provisions including, but not limited to, the failure to pay principal and interest issued thereunder in a timely manner, the failure to comply with the Company’s financial and operating covenants and the failure of the Company or its majority-owned subsidiaries (i.e., entities in which the Company has a greater than 50% interest) to pay when due certain indebtedness in excess of certain thresholds beyond applicable grace and cure periods. These covenants could limit the Company’s ability to obtain additional funds needed to address cash shortfalls or pursue growth opportunities or transactions that would provide substantial return to its shareholders. In addition, a breach of these covenants could cause a default or accelerate some or all of the Company’s indebtedness, which could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition. 21 The Company May Incur Significant Debt Prepayment Costs as a Result of Repaying Indebtedness Prior to Its Stated Maturity At times, the Company has chosen to retire debt prior to its stated maturity date, and in doing so, has incurred prepayment or defeasance premiums in accordance with the relevant loan agreements. If the Company chooses to retire debt prior to its stated maturity date in the future, it may incur significant debt prepayment costs or defeasance premiums, which could have an adverse effect on the Company’s cash flows and results of operations. The Company Has Variable-Rate Debt and Interest Rate Risk The Company has indebtedness with interest rates that vary depending upon the market index. In addition, the Company has revolving credit facilities that bear interest at a variable rate on any amounts drawn on the facilities. The Company may incur additional variable-rate debt in the future. Increases in interest rates on variable-rate debt would increase the Company’s interest expense, which would negatively affect net earnings and cash available for payment of its debt obligations and distributions to its shareholders. The Company May Be Adversely Affected by the Potential Discontinuation of LIBOR In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA,” the United Kingdom authority that regulates LIBOR) announced that numerous banks had approached the FCA and expressed a desire to cease providing LIBOR-related quotations to ICE Benchmark Administration Limited (“IBA”) for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. The FCA went on to explain that it was negotiating an agreement with each of the LIBOR panel banks that would see those banks continue to voluntarily submit quotations to IBA through the end of 2021. On November 24, 2017, the FCA confirmed that the LIBOR panel banks had agreed to support LIBOR until December 31, 2021, but banks made no commitment to continue doing so after that date. On November 30, 2020, however, IBA announced that it would consult the market on its intention to cease the publication of only the one-week and two-month U.S. dollar LIBOR settings on December 31, 2021, with publication of the remaining U.S. dollar LIBOR settings being discontinued after June 30, 2023, subject to any rights of the FCA to compel IBA to continue publication. In conjunction with IBA’s November 30, 2020, announcement, the FCA issued a statement welcoming and supporting IBA’s stated intention to extend the expected cessation date for the dominant tenors of the U.S. dollar to June 30, 2023. At the same time, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”) and other U.S. banking regulators acknowledged IBA’s actions and issued guidance encouraging financial institutions to cease entering into new contracts that use U.S. dollar LIBOR as a reference rate as soon as practicable and in any event by December 31, 2021, in order to facilitate an orderly LIBOR transition. The Alternative Reference Rates Committee (“ARRC”) has proposed that rates derived from the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) serve as the alternative to LIBOR for use in derivatives and other financial contracts currently indexed to LIBOR. ARRC has proposed a paced market transition plan to SOFR from LIBOR, which may be subject to change if the expected U.S. dollar LIBOR cessation date for the dominant tenors is extended to June 30, 2023. On October 21, 2020, the U.S. Department of Treasury, the Federal Reserve and other U.S. regulators confirmed that the use of SOFR is voluntary, and market participants should seek to transition away from LIBOR in the manner that is most appropriate given their specific circumstances. The emergence of alternatives to SOFR and their acceptance by market participants could impact contracts, securities and instruments that reference SOFR, including contracts, securities and instruments linked to U.S. dollar LIBOR that would transition to SOFR upon a benchmark transition event. 22 In March 2020, the ARRC proposed legislation that could impact certain contracts, securities and instruments tied to U.S. dollar LIBOR if such legislation (or something similar) were to become state or federal law. Similarly, in the United Kingdom, the FCA is seeking new powers from Parliament that, if granted, would allow the FCA to, among other things, compel IBA to change the methodology it currently uses to calculate LIBOR. Actions taken by the FCA, including actions taken in accordance with any new powers it receives from Parliament, could have an impact on contracts, securities and instruments linked to U.S. dollar LIBOR. So too could future announcements by the FCA, IBA or U.S. banking regulators that impact contracts, securities and instruments linked to U.S. dollar LIBOR that contemplate transitioning to SOFR upon a benchmark transition event. Likewise, contracts, securities and instruments linked to U.S. dollar LIBOR may be impacted by decisions by U.S. dollar LIBOR panel banks that give rise to or otherwise impact non-representativeness determinations that the FCA may be responsible for making. The full impact of the expected transition away from LIBOR and the potential discontinuation of LIBOR after 2021 is not known, but the replacement rate or alternative base rate could be higher or more volatile than LIBOR, which could adversely affect the Company’s cash flow, financial condition and results of operations. Risks Related to the Company’s Taxation as a REIT If the Company Fails to Qualify as a REIT in Any Taxable Year, It Will Be Subject to U.S. Federal Income Tax as a Regular Corporation and Could Have Significant Tax Liability The Company intends to operate in a manner that allows it to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, REIT qualification requires that the Company satisfy numerous requirements (some on an annual or quarterly basis) established under highly technical and complex provisions of the Code, for which there are a limited number of judicial or administrative interpretations. The Company’s status as a REIT requires an analysis of various factual matters and circumstances that are not entirely within its control. Accordingly, the Company’s ability to qualify and remain qualified as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes is not certain. Even a technical or inadvertent violation of the REIT requirements could jeopardize the Company’s REIT qualification. Furthermore, Congress or the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) might change the tax laws or regulations and the courts could issue new rulings, in each case potentially having a retroactive effect that could make it more difficult or impossible for the Company to continue to qualify as a REIT. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any tax year, the following would result: • • • The Company would be taxed as a regular domestic corporation, which, among other things, means that it would be unable to deduct distributions to its shareholders in computing its taxable income and would be subject to U.S. federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate rates; Any resulting tax liability could be substantial and would reduce the amount of cash available for distribution to shareholders and could force the Company to liquidate assets or take other actions that could have a detrimental effect on its operating results and Unless the Company were entitled to relief under applicable statutory provisions, it would be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which the Company lost its qualification, and its cash available for debt service obligations and distribution to its shareholders, therefore, would be reduced for each of the years in which the Company does not qualify as a REIT. Even if the Company remains qualified as a REIT, it may face other tax liabilities that reduce its cash flow. The Company’s TRS is subject to taxation, and any changes in the laws affecting the Company’s TRS may increase the Company’s tax expenses. The Company may also be subject to certain federal, state and local taxes on its income and property either directly or at the level of its subsidiaries. Any of these taxes would decrease cash available for debt service obligations and distribution to the Company’s shareholders. 23 Compliance with REIT Requirements May Negatively Affect the Company’s Operating Decisions To maintain its status as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Company must meet certain requirements on an ongoing basis, including requirements regarding its sources of income, the nature and diversification of its assets, the amounts the Company distributes to its shareholders and the ownership of its shares. The Company may also be required to make distributions to its shareholders when it does not have funds readily available for distribution or at times when the Company’s funds are otherwise needed to fund capital expenditures or debt service obligations. As a REIT, the Company must distribute at least 90% of its annual net taxable income (excluding net capital gains) to its shareholders. To the extent that the Company satisfies this distribution requirement, but distributes less than 100% of its net taxable income, the Company will be subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax on its undistributed taxable income. In addition, the Company will be subject to a 4% non-deductible excise tax if the actual amount paid to its shareholders in a calendar year is less than the minimum amount specified under U.S. federal tax laws. From time to time, the Company may generate taxable income greater than its income for financial reporting purposes, or its net taxable income may be greater than its cash flows available for distribution to its shareholders. If the Company does not have other funds available in these situations, it could be required to borrow funds, sell its securities or a portion of its properties at unfavorable prices or find other sources of funds in order to meet the REIT distribution requirements and avoid corporate income tax and the 4% excise tax. In addition, the REIT provisions of the Code impose a 100% tax on income from “prohibited transactions.” Prohibited transactions generally include sales of assets, other than foreclosure property, that constitute inventory or other property held for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business. This 100% tax could affect the Company’s decisions to sell property if it believes such sales could be treated as a prohibited transaction. However, the Company would not be subject to this tax if it were to sell assets through its TRS. The Company will also be subject to a 100% tax on certain amounts if the economic arrangements between the Company and its TRS are not comparable to similar arrangements among unrelated parties. The Company May Be Forced to Borrow Funds to Maintain Its REIT Status, and the Unavailability of Such Capital on Favorable Terms at the Desired Times, or at All, May Cause the Company to Curtail Its Investment Activities and/or to Dispose of Assets at Inopportune Times, Which Could Materially and Adversely Affect the Company To qualify as a REIT, the Company generally must distribute to shareholders at least 90% of its REIT taxable income each year, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding any net capital gains, and the Company will be subject to regular corporate income taxes on its undistributed taxable income to the extent that the Company distributes less than 100% of its REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and including and net capital gains, each year. In addition, the Company will be subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax on the amount, if any, by which distributions paid by the Company in any calendar year are less than the sum of 85% of the Company’s ordinary income, 95% of its capital gain net income and 100% of its undistributed income from prior years. The Company could have a potential distribution shortfall as a result of, among other things, differences in timing between the actual receipt of cash and recognition of income for U.S. federal income tax purposes or the effect of nondeductible capital expenditures, the creation of reserves or required debt or amortization payments. In order to maintain REIT status and avoid the payment of income and excise taxes, the Company may need to borrow funds to meet the REIT distribution requirements. The Company may not be able to borrow funds on favorable terms or at all, and the Company’s ability to borrow may be restricted by the terms of the instruments governing the Company’s existing indebtedness. The Company’s access to third-party sources of capital depends on a number of factors, including the market’s perception of the Company’s growth potential, current debt levels, the market price of common shares and current 24 and potential future earnings. The Company cannot assure shareholders that it will have access to such capital on favorable terms at the desired times, or at all, which may cause the Company to curtail its investment activities and/or to dispose of assets at inopportune times and could materially and adversely affect the Company. The Company may make taxable in-kind distributions of common shares, which may cause shareholders to be required to pay income taxes with respect to such distributions in excess of any cash received, or the Company may be required to withhold taxes with respect to such distributions in excess of any cash shareholders receive. Dividends Paid by REITs Generally Do Not Qualify for Reduced Tax Rates In general, the maximum U.S. federal income tax rate for dividends paid to individual U.S. shareholders is 20%. Due to its REIT status, the Company’s distributions to individual shareholders generally are not eligible for the reduced rates. However, U.S. shareholders that are individuals, trusts and estates generally may deduct up to 20% of the ordinary dividends (e.g., REIT dividends that are not designated as capital gain dividends or qualified dividend income) received from a REIT for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017, and before January 1, 2026. Although this deduction reduces the effective tax rate applicable to certain dividends paid by REITs (generally to 29.6%, assuming the shareholder is subject to the 37% maximum rate), such tax rate is still higher than the tax rate applicable to corporate dividends that constitute qualified dividend income. Accordingly, investors who are individuals, trusts and estates may perceive investments in REITs to be relatively less attractive than investments in stocks of non-REIT corporations that pay dividends, which could materially and adversely affect the value of the shares of REITs, including the per share trading price of the Company’s common shares. Certain Foreign Shareholders May Be Subject to U.S. Federal Income Tax on Gain Recognized on a Disposition of the Company’s Common Shares if the Company Does Not Qualify as a “Domestically Controlled” REIT A foreign person disposing of a U.S. real property interest, including shares of a U.S. corporation whose assets consist principally of U.S, real property interests, is generally subject to U.S. federal income tax on any gain recognized on the disposition. This tax does not apply, however, to the disposition of stock in a REIT if the REIT is “domestically controlled.” In general, the Company will be a domestically controlled REIT if at all times during the five-year period ending on the applicable stockholder’s disposition of the Company’s stock, less than 50% in value of the stock was held directly or indirectly by non-U.S. persons. If the Company were to fail to qualify as a domestically controlled REIT, gain recognized by a foreign stockholder on a disposition of the Company’s common shares would be subject to U.S. federal income tax unless the common shares were traded on an established securities market and the foreign stockholder did not at any time during a specific testing period directly or indirectly own more than 10% of the Company’s outstanding common stock. Legislative or Other Actions Affecting REITs Could Have a Negative Effect on the Company. The rules dealing with U.S. federal income taxation are constantly under review by persons involved in the legislative process and by the IRS and the Department of the Treasury. Changes to the tax laws, with or without retroactive application, could materially and adversely affect the Company or its shareholders. The Company cannot predict how changes in the tax laws might affect shareholders or the Company. New legislation, Treasury regulations, administrative interpretations or court decisions could significantly and negatively affect the Company’s ability to qualify as a REIT, the U.S. federal income tax consequences of such qualification or the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the Company. In addition, the law relating to the tax treatment of other entities, or an investment in other entities, could change, making an investment in such other entities more attractive relative to an investment in a REIT. Furthermore, potential amendments and technical corrections, as well as interpretations and 25 implementation of regulations by the Treasury and IRS, may have or may in the future occur or be enacted, and, in each case, they could lessen or increase the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “TCJA”). In addition, states and localities, which often use federal taxable income as a starting point for computing state and local tax liabilities, continue to react to the TCJA, and these may exacerbate its negative, or diminish its positive, effects on the Company. It is impossible to predict the nature or extent of any new tax legislation, regulation or administrative interpretations, but such items could adversely affect the Company’s operating results, financial condition and/or future business planning. Risks Related to the Company’s Organization, Structure and Ownership Provisions of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and Code of Regulations Could Have the Effect of Delaying, Deferring or Preventing a Change in Control, Even if That Change May Be Considered Beneficial by Some of the Company’s Shareholders The Company’s Articles of Incorporation and Code of Regulations contain provisions that could have the effect of rendering more difficult, delaying or preventing an acquisition deemed undesirable by the Company’s Board of Directors. Among other things, the Articles of Incorporation and Code of Regulations include provisions: • • • • • • Prohibiting any person, except for certain shareholders (including the family of Mr. Alexander Otto) as set forth in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, from owning more than 5% of the Company’s outstanding common shares in order to maintain the Company’s status as a REIT; Authorizing “blank check” preferred stock, which could be issued by the Board of Directors without shareholder approval and may contain voting, liquidation, dividend and other rights superior to the Company’s common shares; Providing that any vacancy on the Board of Directors may be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office; Providing that no shareholder may cumulate the shareholder’s voting power in the election of directors; Providing that shareholders may not act by written consent unless such written consent is unanimous and Requiring advance notice of shareholder proposals for business to be conducted at meetings of the Company’s shareholders and for nominations of candidates for election to the Board of Directors. These provisions, alone or together, could delay or prevent hostile takeovers and changes in control or changes in the Company’s management. The Company believes these provisions protect its shareholders from coercive or otherwise unfair takeover tactics and are not intended to make the Company immune from takeovers. However, these provisions apply even if the offer may be considered beneficial by some shareholders and could delay, defer or prevent an acquisition that the Board of Directors determines is not in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, which under certain circumstances could reduce the market price of its common shares. 26 The Company Has Significant Shareholders Who May Exert Influence on the Company as a Result of Their Considerable Beneficial Ownership of the Company’s Common Shares, and Their Interests May Differ from the Interests of Other Shareholders The Company has shareholders, including Mr. Alexander Otto, who is a member of the Board of Directors, who, because of their considerable beneficial ownership of the Company’s common shares, are in a position to exert significant influence over the Company. These shareholders may exert influence with respect to matters that are brought to a vote of the Company’s Board of Directors and/or the holders of the Company’s common shares. Among others, these matters include the election of the Company’s Board of Directors, corporate finance transactions and joint venture activity, merger, acquisition and disposition activity, and amendments to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and Code of Regulations. In the context of major corporate events, the interests of the Company’s significant shareholders may differ from the interests of other shareholders. For example, if a significant shareholder does not support a merger, tender offer, sale of assets or other business combination because the shareholder judges it to be inconsistent with the shareholder’s investment strategy, the Company may be unable to enter into or consummate a transaction that would enable other shareholders to realize a premium over the then- prevailing market prices for common shares. Furthermore, significant shareholders of the Company have sold in the past, and may sell in the future, substantial amounts of the Company’s common shares in the public market to enhance the shareholders’ liquidity positions, fund alternative investments or for other reasons. This has caused in the past and may cause in the future the trading price of the Company’s common shares to decline significantly, resulting in other shareholders being unable to sell their common shares at favorable prices. The Company cannot predict or control how the Company’s significant shareholders may use the influence they have as a result of their common share holdings. The Company’s Board of Directors May Change Significant Corporate Policies Without Shareholder Approval The Company’s strategies and investment, financing and dividend policies will be determined by its Board of Directors. These strategies and policies may be amended or revised at any time at the discretion of the Board of Directors without a vote of the Company’s shareholders. A change in any of these strategies and policies could have an adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, operating results and cash flow and on its ability to pay dividends to shareholders. Risks Related to the Company’s Common Shares Changes in Market Conditions Could Adversely Affect the Market Price of the Company’s Publicly Traded Securities As with other publicly traded securities, the market price of the Company’s publicly traded securities depends on various market conditions, which may change from time to time. Among the market conditions that may affect the market price of the Company’s publicly traded securities are the following: • • • • The extent of institutional investor interest in the Company and the properties it owns; The reputation of REITs generally and the reputation of REITs with similar portfolios; The attractiveness of the securities of REITs in comparison to securities issued by other entities (including securities issued by other real estate companies or sovereign governments), bank deposits or other investments; The Company’s financial condition and performance; 27 • • • The market’s perception of the Company’s growth potential and future cash dividends; An increase in market interest rates, which may lead prospective investors to demand a higher distribution rate in relation to the price paid for the Company’s shares and General economic and financial market conditions. The Company May Issue Additional Securities Without Shareholder Approval The Company can issue preferred shares and common shares without shareholder approval subject to certain limitations in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation. Holders of preferred shares have priority over holders of common shares, and the issuance of additional shares reduces the ownership interest of existing holders in the Company. General Risks Relating to Investments in the Company’s Securities The Company May Be Unable to Retain and Attract Key Management Personnel The Company may be unable to retain and attract talented executives. In the event of the loss of key management personnel to competitors, or upon unexpected death, disability or retirement, the Company may not be able to find replacements with comparable skill, ability and industry expertise. The Company’s operating results and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected until suitable replacements are identified and retained, if at all. The Company Is Subject to Litigation That Could Adversely Affect Its Results of Operations The Company is a defendant from time to time in lawsuits and regulatory proceedings relating to its business. Due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation and regulatory proceedings, the Company cannot accurately predict the ultimate outcome of any such litigation or proceedings. An unfavorable outcome could adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations. Any such litigation could also lead to increased volatility of the trading price of the Company’s common shares. For a further discussion of litigation risks, see “Legal Matters” in Note 11, “Commitments and Contingencies,” to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Changes in Accounting Standards Issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or Other Standard-Setting Bodies May Adversely Affect the Company’s Business The Company’s financial statements are subject to the application of U.S. GAAP, which is periodically revised and/or expanded. From time to time, the Company is required to adopt new or revised accounting standards issued by recognized authoritative bodies, including the FASB and the SEC. It is possible that accounting standards the Company is required to adopt may require changes to the current accounting treatment that it applies to its consolidated financial statements and may require it to make significant changes to its systems. Changes in accounting standards could result in a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Item 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS None. 28 Item 2. PROPERTIES At December 31, 2020, the Portfolio Properties included 138 shopping centers (including 60 centers owned through consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures) and more than 400 acres of undeveloped land including parcels located adjacent to certain of the shopping centers. At December 31, 2020, the Portfolio Properties aggregated 32.9 million square feet of Company-owned GLA (43.4 million square feet of total GLA) located in 22 states. These centers are principally located in suburban, higher household income communities in the Southeast and Midwest, with significant concentrations in Georgia, Florida, North Carolina and Ohio. At December 31, 2020, the Company also owned an unconsolidated interest in one land parcel, aggregating 70 acres, in Canada, which was sold in February 2021. At December 31, 2020, on a pro rata basis, the average annualized base rent per square foot was $18.50. The average annualized base rent of the Company’s 78 wholly-owned shopping centers was $18.75 per square foot, and the average annualized base rent for the 60 shopping centers owned through joint ventures was $15.36 per square foot. The Company’s average annualized base rent per square foot does not consider tenant expense reimbursements. The Company’s shopping centers are anchored by national tenant anchors and designed to provide a highly compelling shopping experience and merchandise mix for retail partners and consumers. The tenants of the shopping centers typically cater to the consumer’s desire for value, service and convenience and offer day-to-day necessities rather than high-priced luxury items. The properties often include discounters, specialty grocers, pet supply stores, fitness centers and beauty supply retailers as additional anchors or tenants. The Company has established close relationships with a large number of major national and regional tenants, many of which occupy space in its shopping centers. Information as to the Company’s 10 largest tenants based on total annualized rental revenues and Company-owned GLA at December 31, 2020, is set forth in Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” under the caption “Executive Summary–Retail Environment and Company Fundamentals” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. For additional details related to property encumbrances for the Company’s wholly-owned assets, see “Real Estate and Accumulated Depreciation” (Schedule III) herein. At December 31, 2020, the Company owned an investment in 59 properties through unconsolidated joint ventures, which properties served as collateral for joint venture mortgage debt aggregating approximately $1.0 billion (of which the Company’s proportionate share is $233.9 million) and is not reflected in the consolidated indebtedness. The Company’s properties range in size from approximately 40,000 square feet to approximately 1,100,000 square feet of total GLA (with 53 properties exceeding 300,000 square feet of total GLA). On a pro rata basis, the Company’s properties were 89.0% occupied as of December 31, 2020. 29 Tenant Lease Expirations and Renewals The following table shows the impact of tenant lease expirations through 2030 at the Company’s 78 wholly-owned shopping centers, assuming that none of the tenants exercise any of their renewal options: Expiration Year 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 Total No. of Leases Expiring 179 263 255 245 213 123 72 74 70 84 1,578 Approximate GLA in Square Feet (Thousands) 1,157 2,321 2,663 2,612 2,330 1,647 912 713 765 757 15,877 $ Annualized Base Rent Under Expiring Leases (Thousands) 22,815 42,817 46,493 45,128 43,493 27,721 18,565 13,844 15,968 14,372 291,216 $ $ Average Base Rent per Square Foot Under Expiring Leases 19.72 18.45 17.46 17.28 18.67 16.83 20.36 19.42 20.87 18.99 18.34 $ Percentage of Total GLA Represented by Expiring Leases Percentage of Total Base Rental Revenues Represented by Expiring Leases 4.2% 8.4% 9.6% 9.4% 8.4% 5.9% 3.3% 2.6% 2.8% 2.7% 57.3% 7.4% 13.9% 15.1% 14.7% 14.1% 9.0% 6.0% 4.5% 5.2% 4.7% 94.6% The following table shows the impact of tenant lease expirations at the joint venture level through 2030 at the Company’s 60 shopping centers owned through joint ventures, assuming that none of the tenants exercise any of their renewal options: Expiration Year 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 Total No. of Leases Expiring 166 183 174 182 143 78 46 41 48 27 1,088 Approximate GLA in Square Feet (Thousands) 932 1,124 1,301 1,781 1,153 955 321 393 312 182 8,454 $ Annualized Base Rent Under Expiring Leases (Thousands) 15,464 18,740 20,099 22,386 16,446 12,647 6,637 6,180 5,801 2,890 127,290 $ $ Average Base Rent per Square Foot Under Expiring Leases 16.59 16.67 15.45 12.57 14.26 13.24 20.68 15.73 18.59 15.88 15.06 $ Percentage of Total GLA Represented by Expiring Leases Percentage of Total Base Rental Revenues Represented by Expiring Leases 7.5% 9.0% 10.4% 14.3% 9.2% 7.6% 2.6% 3.1% 2.5% 1.5% 67.7% 11.3% 13.6% 14.6% 16.4% 12.0% 9.2% 4.8% 4.5% 4.2% 2.1% 92.7% The rental payments under certain of these leases will remain constant until the expiration of their base terms, regardless of inflationary increases.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to various legal proceedings, which, taken together, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company is also subject to a variety of legal actions for personal injury or property damage arising in the ordinary course of its business, most of which are covered by insurance. While the resolution of all matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the final outcome of such legal proceedings and claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s liquidity, financial position or results of operations. Item 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES Not Applicable. 39 PART II Item 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES The Company’s common shares are listed on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “SITC.” As of February 16, 2021, there were 4,126 record holders. This total excludes beneficial or non-registered holders that held their shares through various brokerage firms. This figure does not represent the actual number of beneficial owners of the Company’s common shares because common shares are frequently held in “street name” by securities dealers and others for the benefit of beneficial owners who may vote the shares. The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for establishing and, if appropriate, modifying the Company’s dividend policy. The Board of Directors intends to pursue a dividend policy retaining sufficient free cash flow to support the Company’s capital needs while still adhering to REIT payout requirements. In February 2021, the Company declared its first-quarter 2021 dividend of $0.11 per common share, payable on April 6, 2021, to shareholders of record at the close of business on March 18, 2021. The decision to declare and pay future dividends on the Company’s common shares, as well as the timing, amount and composition of any such future dividends, will be at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors and will be subject to the Company’s cash flow from operations, earnings, financial condition, capital and debt service requirements and such other factors as the Board of Directors considers relevant. The Company is required by the Code to distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income. The Company intends to continue to declare quarterly dividends on its common shares; however, there can be no assurances as to the timing and amounts of future dividends. Certain of the Company’s indentures contain financial and operating covenants including the requirement that the cumulative dividends declared or paid from December 31, 1993, through the end of the current period cannot exceed Funds From Operations (as defined in the agreement) plus an additional $20.0 million for the same period unless required to maintain REIT status. The Company has a dividend reinvestment plan under which shareholders may elect to reinvest their dividends automatically in common shares. Under the plan, the Company may, from time to time, elect that common shares be purchased in the open market on behalf of participating shareholders or may issue new common shares to such shareholders.

Under the terms of the program authorized by the Board, the Company may purchase up to a maximum value of $100 million of its common shares and the program has no expiration date. As of February 16, 2021, the Company had repurchased 5.1 million of its common shares in the aggregate at a cost of approximately $57.9 million and a weighted-average cost of $11.33 per share under the program.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Company is a self-administered and self-managed Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) in the business of acquiring, owning, developing, redeveloping, leasing and managing shopping centers. As of December 31, 2020, the Company’s portfolio consisted of 138 shopping centers (including 60 shopping centers owned through consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures). At December 31, 2020, the Company owned approximately 43.4 million total square feet of gross leasable area (“GLA”) through all its properties (wholly-owned and joint venture) and managed approximately 9.6 million total square feet of GLA owned by Retail Value Inc. (“RVI”), an owner and operator of shopping centers listed on the New York Stock Exchange. As of December 31, 2020, the Company owned more than 400 acres of undeveloped land (of which approximately 80 acres was owned through unconsolidated joint venture interests). In February 2021, approximately 70 acres of undeveloped land held through an unconsolidated joint venture were sold. At December 31, 2020, the aggregate occupancy of the Company’s operating shopping center portfolio was 89.0%, and the average annualized base rent per occupied square foot was $18.50, both on a pro rata basis. COVID-19 Pandemic In March 2020, the World Health Organization categorized COVID-19 as a pandemic, and it continues to spread throughout the United States and other countries across the world. Beginning in mid-March, federal, state and local governments took various actions to limit the spread of COVID-19, including ordering the temporary closure of non-essential businesses (which included many of the Company’s tenants) and imposing significant social distancing guidelines and restrictions on the continued operations of essential businesses and the subsequent reopening of non-essential businesses. In addition, in order to safeguard the health of its employees and their families, the Company closed all of its offices in March 2020 and successfully transitioned to working remotely. While the Company reopened its Corporate Headquarters in Cleveland, Ohio, and select regional offices on a voluntary basis in October 2020, the majority of the Company’s employees continue to work remotely. The Company has not established a date for employees to return to the office on a full-time basis. To date, the Company’s leasing and administrative operations have not been significantly impacted by the pandemic as the Company’s significant investments in its IT infrastructure and systems in prior years, which facilitated the transition to a remote working environment. As of February 12, 2021, all of the Company’s properties remain open and operational with 98% of tenants, at the Company’s share and based on average base rents, open for business. This compares to an open rate low of 45% in April 2020. The primary tenant categories that currently are still not fully reopened are theaters, fitness and local restaurants. The COVID-19 pandemic had no impact on the Company’s collection of rents for the first quarter of 2020, but it had a significant impact on the collection of rents for April 2020 through January 31, 2021. The quarterly rent payment rates as of February 12, 2021, determined on a pro rata basis (at the Company’s share and properties received from the BRE DDR Joint Ventures at 100% ownership), for each quarterly reporting period since March 2020 and updated for subsequent cash receipts, are reflected as follows: Second Quarter 2020 Third Quarter 2020 Fourth Quarter 2020 January 2021 As of February 12, 2021 As of October 23, 2020 As of July 24, 2020 79% 70% 64% 42 88% 84% 71% N/A 94% 90% N/A N/A 94% The Company calculates the aggregate percentage of rents paid by comparing the amount of tenant payments received as of the date presented to the amount billed to tenants during the period, which billed amount includes abated rents, rents subject to deferral arrangements and rents owing from bankrupt tenants that were in possession of the space and billed. For the purposes of reporting the percentage of aggregate base rents collected for a given period, when rents subject to deferral arrangements are later paid, those payments are allocated to the period in which the rent was originally owed. Although rent collection levels continued to improve through January 2021, relative to the second quarter, collection levels remain below historical averages and future rent collection may be negatively impacted by further surges in COVID-19 contagion in 2021 and any implementation of additional restrictions on tenant businesses as a result thereof. The ultimate impact of the pandemic and secondary social and economic effects on the Company’s results of operations, financial position, liquidity and capital resources remains unclear and cannot be reasonably determined or forecasted at this time. For a further discussion of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business, see “Liquidity, Capital Resources and Financing Activities” and “Economic Conditions” included in this section and Item 1A. Risk Factors in Part I of this Report on Form 10-K. Current Strategy The growth opportunities within the Company’s core property operations include rental rate increases, continued lease-up of the portfolio and the adaptation of existing square footage to generate higher blended rental rates and operating cash flows. Additional growth opportunities include opportunistic investments and tactical redevelopment. Management intends to use proceeds from the sale of lower growth assets and other investments to fund opportunistic investing and redevelopment activity. The Company believes the following serve as cornerstones for the execution of its strategy: • Maximization of recurring cash flows through strong leasing and core property operations; • • • • Enhancement of property cash flows through creative, proactive redevelopment efforts that result in the profitable adaptation of assets to better suit dynamic retail tenant and community demands; Growth in Company cash flows through capital recycling, especially the redeployment of capital from mature, slower growing assets into opportunistic acquisitions at attractive rates that offer leasing and redevelopment potential; Risk mitigation through continuous focus on maintaining prudent leverage levels and lengthy average debt maturities, as well as access to a diverse selection of capital sources, including the secured and unsecured debt markets, a large unsecured line of credit and equity from a wide range of joint venture partners and Sustainability of growth through a constant focus on relationships with investor, tenant, employee, community and environmental constituencies. Transaction and Capital Markets Highlights On February 2, 2021, the Company, along with its partners, sold a parcel of undeveloped land (approximating 70 acres) in Richmond Hill, Ontario. The Company’s share of net proceeds totaled approximately $22 million after accounting for customary closing costs and foreign currency translation. As of December 31, 2020, the Company’s net investment had a book value of $3.3 million. Subsequent to the transaction, the Company has no other direct investments outside the continental United States. 43 During 2020, the Company completed the following real estate transactions and financing activities: • • • • • • Transferred and redeemed its preferred equity interests in the BRE DDR III and BRE DDR IV joint ventures (the “BRE DDR Joint Ventures”) in exchange for the acquisition of nine of the underlying assets of the BRE DDR Joint Ventures and approximately $10.3 million of cash; Sold its interest in the DDRTC joint venture to its partner, an affiliate of TIAA-CREF, which resulted in net proceeds of $140.4 million; Sold two shopping centers (held in joint ventures) and wholly-owned land parcels for gross proceeds of $28.7 million, or $6.6 million at the Company’s share; Received $7.5 million related to the repayment of a loan investment and used the proceeds to repurchase 0.8 million common shares under the Company’s share repurchase program; Redeemed all $200.0 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of the Company’s 4.625% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “Senior Notes due 2022”) and Declared aggregate cash dividends of $0.25 per common share. Operational Accomplishments Leasing activity in January and February of 2020 was relatively consistent with recent historical levels. However, the COVID-19 pandemic caused a slow-down in leasing activity in March, though the Company witnessed a relative increase in new lease discussions and renewal negotiations with tenants beginning in late May and continuing through year-end. Although the leasing volumes through June 30, 2020, were below average historic levels, quarterly leasing volume for the fourth quarter of 2020 was the highest since the third quarter of 2018 and represented a quarter-over-quarter increase of 51%, as compared to the fourth quarter of 2019. Operating highlights for 2020 included: • • • • Signed new leases and renewals for approximately 2.8 million square feet of GLA, which included 0.6 million square feet of new leasing volume, both on a pro rata share; Achieved new lease spreads of 8.0% and renewal spreads of 2.7% at the Company’s pro rata share; Increased the annualized base rent per occupied square foot on a pro rata basis to $18.50 at December 31, 2020, as compared to $18.25 at December 31, 2019, an increase of 1.4% and Continued to maintain strong aggregate occupancy on a pro rata basis of 89.0% at December 31, 2020, as compared to 90.8% at December 31, 2019. The decrease year-over-year primarily was due to tenant bankruptcies. Retail Environment The Company continues to see demand from a broad range of tenants for its space, particularly as larger retailers incorporate omni-channel strategies that leverage brick and mortar infrastructure to drive incremental business. Value-oriented retailers continue to take market share from conventional and national chain department stores. As a result, while certain of those conventional and national department stores have announced bankruptcies, store closures and/or reduced expansion plans, other retailers, 44 specifically those in the value and convenience category, continue to expand their store fleets and launch new concepts. Many of the Company’s largest tenants, including TJX Companies, Dicks Sporting Goods, Michaels, Ross, Five Below and Burlington, have remained well positioned with access to capital while outperforming other retail categories on a relative basis despite the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, approximately 79% of the Company’s Portfolio Properties are anchored by an anchor considered essential, calculated based upon property count, which includes a grocery or warehouse club, home improvement retailer, alcohol retailer or other anchors deemed essential by state guidelines for essential businesses. As discussed above, many of the Company’s tenants have been impacted by various actions taken by federal, state and local governments to limit the spread of COVID-19. The Company’s tenant categories most significantly impacted by COVID-19 are theaters, fitness and local restaurants. However, these tenant categories account for 11% of the Company’s pro rata share of annualized base rents.

In addition, the Company’s quarterly leasing volume for the fourth quarter of 2020 was the highest since the third quarter of 2018 and represented a year-over-year increase of 51% as compared to the fourth quarter of 2019. The Company continued to execute both new leases and renewals at positive rental spreads. At December 31, 2020, the Company had 345 leases expiring in 2021 with an average base rent per square foot of $19.59, on a pro rata basis. For the comparable leases executed in 2020, at the Company’s interest, the Company generated positive leasing spreads of 8.0% for new leases and 2.7% for renewals, or 3.4% on a blended basis. However, for the fourth quarter of 2020, new leasing spreads were -3.8% and renewal leasing spreads were -1.9%, both on a pro rata basis. The fourth quarter of 2020, renewal spreads were impacted by the Company’s decision to prioritize occupancy. The Company may experience additional pressure on leasing spreads in order to maintain occupancy. Leasing spreads are a key metric in real estate, representing the percentage increase over rental rates on existing leases versus rental rates on new and renewal leases, though leasing spreads exclude consideration of the amount of 46 capital expended in connection with new leasing activity. The Company’s leasing spread calculation includes only those deals that were executed within one year of the date the prior tenant vacated and, as a result, is a good benchmark to compare the average annualized base rent of expiring leases with the comparable executed market rental rates. For new leases executed during 2020, the Company expended a weighted-average cost of tenant improvements and lease commissions estimated at $6.81 per rentable square foot, on a pro rata basis, over the lease term, as compared to $6.56 per rentable square foot in 2019. The Company generally does not expend a significant amount of capital on lease renewals. Summary—2020 Financial Results For the year ended December 31, 2020, net income attributable to common shareholders decreased compared to the prior year, primarily due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, lower fee income, debt extinguishment costs related to the redemption of the Senior Notes due 2022 and reduced gain on sale of, partially offset by gain on sale of the Company’s interest in the DDRTC joint venture assets and lower preferred dividends on account of the redemption of the Company’s Series J Preferred Shares in late 2019. The following provides an overview of the Company’s key financial metrics (see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”) (in thousands except per share amounts): Net income attributable to common shareholders FFO attributable to common shareholders Operating FFO attributable to common shareholders Earnings per share – Diluted For the Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 $ $ $ $ 15,190 $ 61,292 176,562 $ 229,761 192,824 $ 233,363 0.08 $ 0.33 The following discussion of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations provides information that will assist in the understanding of the Company’s financial statements, the changes in certain key items and the factors that accounted for changes in the financial statements, as well as critical accounting policies that affected these financial statements. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company and all subsidiaries where the Company has financial or operating control. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions in certain circumstances that affect amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes. In preparing these financial statements, management has used available information, including the Company’s history, industry standards and the current economic environment, among other factors, in forming its estimates and judgments of certain amounts included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, giving due consideration to materiality. It is possible that the ultimate outcome as anticipated by management in formulating its estimates inherent in these financial statements might not materialize. Application of the critical accounting policies described below involves the exercise of judgment and the use of assumptions as to future uncertainties. Accordingly, actual results could differ from these estimates. In addition, other companies may use different estimates that may affect the comparability of the Company’s results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses. 47 Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02—Leases, as amended (“Topic 842”) as of January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective approach by applying the transition provisions at the beginning of the period of adoption. Rental Income includes contractual lease payments for which collection is considered probable that generally consists of the following: • • • • • Fixed lease payments, which include fixed payments associated with expense reimbursements from tenants for common area maintenance, taxes and insurance from tenants in shopping centers, are recognized on a straight-line basis over the non-cancelable term of the lease, which generally ranges from one month to 30 years, and include the effects of applicable rent steps and abatements. Variable lease payments, which include percentage and overage income, which are recognized after a tenant’s reported sales have exceeded the applicable sales breakpoint set forth in the applicable lease. Variable lease payments associated with expense reimbursements from tenants for common area maintenance, taxes, insurance and other property operating expenses, based upon the tenant’s lease provisions, which are recognized in the period the related expenses are incurred. Lease termination payments, which are recognized upon the effective termination of a tenant’s lease when the Company has no further obligations under the lease. Ancillary and other property-related rental payments, primarily composed of leasing vacant space to temporary tenants, kiosk income and parking income, which are recognized in the period earned. Rental income has been reduced for the elimination of unpaid contractual lease payments for tenants that are on the cash basis of accounting due to collectability concerns. The Company makes estimates of the collectability of its accounts receivable related to base rents, including straight-line rentals, expense reimbursements and other revenue or income. Upon adoption of Topic 842, rental income for the periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, has been reduced for amounts the Company believes are not probable of being collected both on a tenant lease basis, as well as for certain retail or tenant sectors. The Company analyzes tenant credit worthiness, as well as both current economic and tenant-specific sector trends when evaluating the probability of collection of accounts receivable. In evaluating tenant credit worthiness, the Company’s assessment may include a review of payment history, tenant sales performance and financial position. For larger national tenants, the Company also evaluates projected liquidity, as well as the tenant’s access to capital and the overall health of the particular sector. In addition, with respect to tenants in bankruptcy, the Company makes estimates of the expected recovery of pre-petition and post-petition claims in assessing the probability of collection of the related receivable. The time to resolve these claims may exceed one year. These estimates have a direct impact on the Company’s earnings because once the amount is considered not probable of being collected, earnings are reduced by a corresponding amount until the receivable is collected. Management fees are recorded in the period earned. Fee income derived from the Company’s unconsolidated joint venture investments is recognized to the extent attributable to the unaffiliated ownership interest. Lease commission revenue is generally recognized in its entirety upon lease execution. Payments received from the Company’s insurance company related to its claims for business interruption losses incurred as a result of hurricane losses are recorded as Business Interruption Income. 48 Consolidation All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in real estate joint ventures in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, but does not have financial or operating control, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, the Company’s pro rata share of the earnings (or loss) of these joint ventures is included in consolidated net income. The Company has a number of joint venture arrangements with varying structures. The Company consolidates entities in which it owns less than a 100% equity interest if it is determined that it is a variable interest entity (“VIE”), and the Company has a controlling interest in that VIE or is the controlling general partner. The analysis to identify whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE is based upon which party has (a) the power to direct activities of the VIE that most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance and (b) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. In determining whether it has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly affect the VIE’s performance, the Company is required to assess whether it has an implicit financial responsibility to ensure that a VIE operates as designed. This qualitative assessment has a direct impact on the Company’s financial statements, as the detailed activity of off-balance sheet joint ventures is not presented within the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Real Estate and Long-Lived Assets Properties are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The Company is required to make subjective assessments as to the useful lives of its properties to determine the amount of depreciation to reflect on an annual basis with respect to those properties. These assessments have a direct impact on the Company’s net income. If the Company were to extend the expected useful life of a particular asset, it would be depreciated over more years and result in less depreciation expense and higher annual net income. On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of real estate assets, including undeveloped land and construction in progress, and intangibles may be impaired. Impairment indicators are primarily related to significant, prolonged decreases in projected cash flows or changes in estimated hold periods; however, other impairment indicators could occur. A property’s value is impaired only if management’s estimate of the aggregate future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) to be generated by the property are less than the carrying value of the property. The determination of undiscounted cash flows may require significant estimates by management. In management’s estimate of projected cash flows, it considers factors such as hold period, expected future operating income (loss), trends and prospects, the effects of demand, competition and other factors. If the Company is evaluating the potential sale of an asset or development alternatives, the undiscounted future cash flows analysis is probability-weighted based upon management’s best estimate of the likelihood of the alternative courses of action. Subsequent changes in estimated undiscounted cash flows arising from changes in anticipated actions could affect the determination of whether an impairment exists and whether the effects could have a material impact on the Company’s net income. To the extent an impairment has occurred, the loss will be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the property over the fair value of the property. The Company is required to make subjective assessments as to whether there are impairments in the value of its real estate properties and other investments. These assessments have a direct impact on the Company’s net income because recording an impairment charge results in an immediate negative adjustment to net income. If the Company’s estimates of the projected future cash flows, anticipated holding periods or market conditions change, its evaluation of the impairment charges may be different, and such differences could be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Plans to hold properties over longer periods decrease the likelihood of recording impairment losses. 49 For the acquisition of real estate assets, the Company allocates the purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition. The Company applies various valuation methods, all of which require significant estimates by management, including discount rates, exit capitalization rates, estimated land values (per square foot), overall capitalization rates and certain market leasing assumptions. Further, the valuation of above- and below-market lease values are significantly impacted by management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for each corresponding in-place lease. If the Company determines that an event has occurred after the initial allocation of the asset or liability that would change the estimated useful life of the asset, the Company will reassess the depreciation and amortization of the asset. The Company is required to make subjective estimates in connection with these valuations and allocations. The Company generally considers assets to be held for sale when the transaction has been approved by the appropriate level of management and there are no known significant contingencies relating to the sale such that the sale of the property within one year is considered probable. This generally occurs when a sales contract is executed with no contingencies and the prospective buyer has significant funds at risk to ensure performance. Measurement of Fair Value—Real Estate and Unconsolidated Joint Venture and Affiliate Investments The Company is required to assess for impairment the value of certain consolidated and unconsolidated joint venture investments, as well as the underlying collateral for its preferred equity interests, affiliate investment and certain financing notes receivable. The fair value of real estate investments used in the Company’s impairment calculations is estimated based on the price that would be received for the sale of an asset in an orderly transaction between marketplace participants at the measurement date. Investments without a public market are valued based on assumptions made and valuation techniques used by the Company. The availability of observable transaction data and inputs can make it more difficult and/or subjective to determine the fair value of such investments. As a result, amounts ultimately realized by the Company from investments sold may differ from the fair values presented, and the differences could be material. The valuation of real estate assets, investments and real estate collateral for impairment is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including the income capitalization approach or discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each asset considering prevailing market capitalization rates, analysis of recent comparable sales transactions, actual sales negotiations, bona fide purchase offers received from third parties and/or consideration of the amount that currently would be required to replace the asset, as adjusted for obsolescence. In general, the Company considers multiple valuation techniques when measuring fair value of an investment. However, in certain circumstances, a single valuation technique may be appropriate. For operational real estate assets, the significant assumptions include the capitalization rate used in the income capitalization valuation, as well as the projected property net operating income and expected hold period. For investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, the Company also considers the valuation of any underlying joint venture debt. Valuation of real estate assets is calculated based on market conditions and assumptions made by management at the measurement date, which may differ materially from actual results if market conditions or the underlying assumptions change. Preferred Equity Interests—Impairment Assessment In the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company transferred and redeemed its entire preferred equity interest in the BRE DDR Joint Ventures in exchange for the acquisition of certain underlying assets of the BRE DDR Joint Ventures. Prior to the closing of the transactions, the Company evaluated the collectability 50 of both the principal and interest on these investments based upon an assessment of the underlying collateral value to determine whether the investment is impaired. As the underlying collateral for the investments was real estate investments, the same valuation techniques were used to value the collateral as those used to determine the fair value of real estate investments for impairment purposes. In addition, the Company performed an additional present value of cash flows for the underlying collateral value that was probability-weighted based upon management’s estimate of the repayment timing. The preferred equity interests were considered impaired if the Company’s estimate of the fair value of the underlying collateral was less than the carrying value of the preferred equity interests. Interest income on impaired investments was recognized on a cash basis. Investments in Joint Ventures and Affiliate—Impairment Assessment The Company has a number of off-balance sheet joint ventures with varying structures. On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of the Company’s investments in unconsolidated joint ventures or affiliates may be impaired. An investment’s value is impaired only if management’s estimate of the fair value of the investment is less than the carrying value of the investment and such loss is deemed to be other than temporary, as appropriate. To the extent an impairment has occurred, the loss is measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the investment over the estimated fair value of the investment. Deferred Tax Assets and Tax Liabilities The Company accounts for income taxes related to its taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. The Company records net deferred tax assets to the extent it believes it is more likely than not that these assets will be realized. In making such determinations, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including forecasts of future taxable income, the reversal of other existing temporary differences, available net operating loss carryforwards, tax planning strategies and recent results of operations. Several of these considerations require assumptions and significant judgment about the forecasts of future taxable income that are consistent with the plans and estimates that the Company is utilizing to manage its business. Based on this assessment, management must evaluate the need for, and amount of, valuation allowances against the Company’s deferred tax assets. The Company would record a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets if and when it has determined that an uncertainty exists regarding their realization, which would increase the provision for income taxes. To the extent facts and circumstances change in the future, adjustments to the valuation allowances may be required. In the event the Company were to determine that it would be able to realize the deferred income tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, the Company would adjust the valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes. The Company makes certain estimates in the determination of the use of valuation reserves recorded for deferred tax assets. These estimates could have a direct impact on the Company’s earnings, as a difference in the tax provision would impact the Company’s earnings. The Company has made estimates in assessing the impact of the uncertainty of income taxes. Accounting standards prescribe a recognition threshold and measurement attribute criteria for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The standards also provide guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. These estimates have a direct impact on the Company’s net income because higher tax expense will result in reduced earnings. 51 Stock-Based Employee Compensation Stock-based compensation requires all stock-based payments to employees to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair value. Pricing model input assumptions, such as expected volatility, expected term and risk-free interest rate, all affect the fair value estimate. These assumptions are subjective and generally require significant analysis and judgment to develop. When estimating fair value, some of the assumptions will be based on or determined from external data, and other assumptions may be derived from experience with stock-based payment arrangements. The appropriate weight to place on experience is a matter of judgment, based on relevant facts and circumstances. The performance-based awards granted in 2018 are dual-indexed to both the Company’s and RVI’s stock performance and are accounted for as liability awards and are marked to fair value on a quarterly basis. COMPARISON OF 2020 AND 2019 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS For the comparison of the Company’s 2020 performance to 2019 presented below, consolidated shopping center properties owned as of January 1, 2019, but excluding properties under redevelopment and those sold by the Company, are referred to herein as the “Comparable Portfolio Properties.” The discussion of the Company’s 2019 performance compared to 2018 performance is set forth in Part II, Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Comparison of 2019 and 2018 Results of Operations,” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. Revenues from Operations (in thousands) Rental income(A) Fee and other income(B) Business interruption income(C) Total revenues 2020 $ Change 2019 $ 414,864 $ 443,421 $ (28,557) (18,213) (885) $ 460,333 $ 507,988 $ (47,655) 45,469 — 63,682 885 (A) The following table summarizes the key components of the 2020 rental income as compared to 2019 (in thousands): Contractual Lease Payments Base and percentage rental income(1) Recoveries from tenants(2) Uncollectible revenue(3) Lease termination fees, ancillary and other rental income Total contractual lease payments 2020 2019 $ Change $ 329,165 $ 325,641 $ 107,132 (31,908) 106,995 27 3,524 137 (31,935) 10,475 (283) $ 414,864 $ 443,421 $ (28,557) 10,758 (1) The changes in base and percentage rental income were due to the following (in millions): Comparable Portfolio Properties Acquisition of shopping centers Redevelopment properties Disposition of shopping centers Straight-line rents Total 52 Increase (Decrease) 1.0 $ 9.0 (0.5) (3.2) (2.8) 3.5 $ The Company recorded a charge of $9.0 million to straight-line revenue primarily related to write-offs associated with credit risk tenants primarily triggered by the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. This amount was partly offset by the recognition of additional straight-line rent due to the impact of lease modification accounting. The following tables present the statistics for the Company’s assets affecting base and percentage rental income summarized by the following portfolios: pro rata combined shopping center portfolio, wholly- owned shopping center portfolio and joint venture shopping center portfolio: Centers owned (at 100%) Aggregate occupancy rate Average annualized base rent per occupied square foot Centers owned Aggregate occupancy rate Average annualized base rent per occupied square foot Centers owned Aggregate occupancy rate Average annualized base rent per occupied square foot Pro Rata Combined Shopping Center Portfolio December 31, 2020 2019 138 89.0% 18.50 $ 170 90.8% 18.25 $ Wholly-Owned Shopping Centers December 31, 2020 2019 78 89.2% 18.75 $ 69 90.7% 18.80 $ Joint Venture Shopping Centers December 31, 2020 2019 60 87.3% 15.36 $ 101 90.7% 14.90 $ At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the wholly-owned Comparable Portfolio Properties’ aggregate occupancy rate was 91.2% and 93.4%, respectively, and the average annualized base rent per occupied square foot was $18.74 and $18.39, respectively. The decrease in the occupancy rate was attributable to tenant bankruptcies, terminations and expirations. (2) (3) Recoveries from tenants for the Comparable Portfolio Properties were approximately 81.9% and 80.7% of reimbursable operating expenses and real estate taxes for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The increase in the recovery percentage is primarily due to the effects of lower operating and maintenance expenses due to the COVID-19 pandemic and an increase in recoverable capital expenditures. For the year ended December 31, 2020, primarily relates to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on rent collections, including the impact of lease modification accounting and the elimination of unpaid contractual lease obligations for tenants that are now on the cash basis of accounting due to collectability concerns. (B) Decrease resulting from lower fee income received from RVI due to asset sales and lower fee income received from the DDRTC Joint Venture, in which the Company sold its interest in the first quarter of 2020, and the BRE DDR Joint Ventures with The Blackstone Group L.P. (“Blackstone”), in which the Company terminated its interest in the fourth quarter of 2020. The termination of these joint ventures will reduce the amount of fee income recorded by the Company in 2021. Fee income from the DDRTC Joint Venture and the BRE DDR Joint Ventures was approximately $5.6 million and $13.8 million in the aggregate for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. See Note 3, “Investments in and Advances to Joint Ventures,” in the Company’s consolidated financial statements included herein. In addition, a further decrease from 2019 related to a refinancing fee earned from RVI of $1.8 million. 53 The components of Fee and Other Income are presented in Note 2, “Revenue Recognition,” to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included herein. Changes in the number of assets under management, including the number of assets owned by RVI, or the fee structures applicable to such arrangements, will impact the amount of revenue recorded in future periods. Such changes could occur because the Company’s property management agreements, including those with RVI, contain termination provisions and the Company’s joint venture partners could dispose of shopping centers under the Company’s management. The Company’s joint venture partners may also elect to terminate their joint venture arrangements with the Company in connection with a change in investment strategy or otherwise. See “Sources and Uses of Capital” included elsewhere herein. (C) Represents payments received from the Company’s insurer related to its claims for business interruption losses incurred at its Puerto Rico properties, which were included in the RVI spin-off. The insurance claims were settled in August 2019. Expenses from Operations (in thousands) Operating and maintenance(A) Real estate taxes(A) Impairment charges(B) General and administrative(C) Depreciation and amortization(A) (A) The changes were due to the following (in millions): $ $ Comparable Portfolio Properties Acquisition of shopping centers Redevelopment properties Disposition of shopping centers 2020 68,801 $ 69,601 5,200 52,881 170,669 367,152 $ 366,504 $ 2019 $ Change 71,355 $(2,554) 1,293 68,308 3,370 1,830 (5,503) 58,384 5,582 165,087 648 Real Estate Taxes Depreciation and Amortization Operating and Maintenance $ (3.9) $ 1.9 0.1 (0.7) (2.6) $ (1.7) $ 2.3 1.2 (0.5) 1.3 $ (0.6) 7.5 0.2 (1.5) 5.6 $ The decrease in Operating and Maintenance expense for the Comparable Portfolio Properties is primarily due to the COVID-19 pandemic. (B) For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded impairment charges related to an outlot and undeveloped land marketed for sale, both triggered by indicative bids received. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded impairment charges related to one operating shopping center that was sold in 2019 and one undeveloped land parcel marketed for sale. Changes in (1) an asset’s expected future undiscounted cash flows due to changes in market or leasing conditions, (2) strategic decisions of the asset or (3) an asset’s expected holding period each could result in the recognition of additional impairment charges. Impairment charges are more fully described in Note 14, “Impairment Charges and Reserves,” to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included herein. (C) General and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, were approximately 5.5% and 4.9% of total revenues (excluding uncollectible revenue), respectively, including total revenues of unconsolidated joint ventures and managed properties for the comparable periods. In 2020, the Company recorded a separation charge of $1.7 million related to the elimination of the Chief Operating Officer executive position. 54 The Company continues to expense certain internal leasing salaries, legal salaries and related expenses associated with leasing and re-leasing of existing space. Other Income and Expenses (in thousands) Interest income(A) Interest expense(B) Other (expense) income, net(C) 2020 2019 $ Change $ $ 11,888 $ (77,604) (18,400) (84,116) $ 18,009 $ (6,121) (84,721) 7,117 (18,757) 357 (66,355) $(17,761) (A) The decrease in the amount of interest income recognized primarily was due to the transfer and redemption of the preferred equity investments in the BRE DDR Joint Ventures (see “Sources and Uses of Capital” included elsewhere herein) in the fourth quarter of 2020 in exchange for the acquisition of certain of the underlying assets of the joint ventures. As such, the Company will not record any interest income in 2021. The Company had a gross preferred investment (including accrued interest in BRE DDR Joint Ventures) of $200.6 million at December 31, 2019. See Note 3, “Investments in and Advances to Joint Ventures,” in the Company’s consolidated financial statements included herein. (B) The weighted-average debt outstanding and related weighted-average interest rate are as follows: Weighted-average debt outstanding (in billions) Weighted-average interest rate For the Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 $ 2.0 $ 3.8% 1.9 4.4% The increase in the weighted-average debt outstanding was primarily due to precautionary borrowings under the Company’s line of credit in March 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company’s overall balance sheet strategy is to continue to maintain liquidity and low leverage. The weighted-average interest rate (based on contractual rates and excluding fair market value of adjustments and debt issuance costs) was 3.7% and 4.2% at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Interest costs capitalized in conjunction with redevelopment projects were $0.9 million and $1.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The decrease in the amount of interest costs capitalized is a result of a reduction in redevelopment activity in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. (C) In 2020, debt extinguishment costs related to the redemption of the Senior Notes due 2022.

Joint venture property sales could significantly impact the amount of income or loss recognized in future periods. See Note 3, “Investments in and Advancements to Joint Ventures,” in the Company’s consolidated financial statements included herein for discussion of transactional activity. (B) The valuation allowance is more fully described in Note 3, “Investments in and Advances to Joint Ventures,” of the Company’s consolidated financial statements included herein. (C) In 2020, the Company sold its 15% interest in the DDRTC Joint Venture to its partner, an affiliate of TIAA-CREF, which resulted in net proceeds to the Company of $140.4 million and a Gain on Sale of Interests of $45.6 million. In the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company terminated the BRE DDR Joint Ventures resulting in a Loss on Change in Control of Interests of $0.2 million. See “Sources and Uses of Capital” included elsewhere herein. (D) The Company sold several land parcels in 2020 and four assets in 2019. Net Income (in thousands) Net income attributable to SITE Centers 2020 2019 $35,721 $100,699 $(64,978) $ Change The decrease in net income attributable to SITE Centers was primarily attributable to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on rental income (including non-recognition of uncollected contractual lease payments owed by tenants on the cash basis of accounting, other reserves and the impact of lease modification accounting, where applicable), lower fee income, lower gains on sale of real estate and higher debt extinguishment costs related to the redemption of the Senior Notes due 2022, partly offset by the gain on sale of DDRTC Joint Venture interest. NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES Funds from Operations and Operating Funds from Operations Definition and Basis of Presentation The Company believes that Funds from Operations (“FFO”) and Operating FFO, both non-GAAP financial measures, provide additional and useful means to assess the financial performance of REITs. FFO and Operating FFO are frequently used by the real estate industry, as well as securities analysts, investors and other interested parties, to evaluate the performance of REITs. The Company also believes that FFO and Operating FFO more appropriately measure the core operations of the Company and provide benchmarks to its peer group. FFO excludes GAAP historical cost depreciation and amortization of real estate and real estate investments, which assume that the value of real estate assets diminishes ratably over time. Historically, however, real estate values have risen or fallen with market conditions, and many companies use different depreciable lives and methods. Because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization unique to real estate and gains and losses from property dispositions, it can provide a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, interest costs and acquisition, disposition and development activities. This provides a perspective of the Company’s financial performance not immediately apparent from net income determined in accordance with GAAP. 56 FFO is generally defined and calculated by the Company as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), adjusted to exclude (i) preferred share dividends, (ii) gains and losses from disposition of real estate property and related investments, which are presented net of taxes, (iii) impairment charges on real estate property and related investments, including reserve adjustments of preferred equity interests, (iv) gains and losses from changes in control and (v) certain non-cash items. These non-cash items principally include real property depreciation and amortization of intangibles, equity income (loss) from joint ventures and equity income (loss) from non-controlling interests and adding the Company’s proportionate share of FFO from its unconsolidated joint ventures and non-controlling interests, determined on a consistent basis. The Company’s calculation of FFO is consistent with the definition of FFO provided by NAREIT. The Company believes that certain charges, income and gains recorded in its operating results are not comparable or reflective of its core operating performance. Operating FFO is useful to investors as the Company removes non-comparable charges, income and gains to analyze the results of its operations and assess performance of the core operating real estate portfolio. As a result, the Company also computes Operating FFO and discusses it with the users of its financial statements, in addition to other measures such as net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP and FFO. Operating FFO is generally defined and calculated by the Company as FFO excluding certain charges, income and gains that management believes are not comparable and indicative of the results of the Company’s operating real estate portfolio. Such adjustments include gains/losses on the early extinguishment of debt, hurricane- related activity, certain transaction fee income, transaction costs and other restructuring type costs. The disclosure of these adjustments is regularly requested by users of the Company’s financial statements. The adjustment for these charges, income and gains may not be comparable to how other REITs or real estate companies calculate their results of operations, and the Company’s calculation of Operating FFO differs from NAREIT’s definition of FFO. Additionally, the Company provides no assurances that these charges, income and gains are non-recurring. These charges, income and gains could be reasonably expected to recur in future results of operations. These measures of performance are used by the Company for several business purposes and by other REITs. The Company uses FFO and/or Operating FFO in part (i) as a disclosure to improve the understanding of the Company’s operating results among the investing public, (ii) as a measure of a real estate asset company’s performance, (iii) to influence acquisition, disposition and capital investment strategies and (iv) to compare the Company’s performance to that of other publicly traded shopping center REITs. For the reasons described above, management believes that FFO and Operating FFO provide the Company and investors with an important indicator of the Company’s operating performance. They provide recognized measures of performance other than GAAP net income, which may include non-cash items (often significant). Other real estate companies may calculate FFO and Operating FFO in a different manner. Management recognizes the limitations of FFO and Operating FFO when compared to GAAP’s net income. FFO and Operating FFO do not represent amounts available for dividends, capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations or other commitments and uncertainties. Management does not use FFO or Operating FFO as an indicator of the Company’s cash obligations and funding requirements for future commitments, acquisitions or development activities. Neither FFO nor Operating FFO represents cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, and neither is necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. Neither FFO nor Operating FFO should be considered an alternative to net income (computed in accordance with GAAP) or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. FFO and Operating FFO are simply used as additional indicators of the Company’s operating performance. The Company believes that to further understand its performance, FFO and Operating FFO should be 57 compared with the Company’s reported net income (loss) and considered in addition to cash flows determined in accordance with GAAP, as presented in its consolidated financial statements. Reconciliations of these measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measure of net income (loss) is provided below. Reconciliation Presentation FFO and Operating FFO attributable to common shareholders were as follows (in thousands): For the Year Ended December 31, FFO attributable to common shareholders Operating FFO attributable to common shareholders 2020 2019 $176,562 $229,761 $(53,199) (40,539) 233,363 192,824 $ Change The decrease in FFO primarily was attributable to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on rental income on the entire portfolio, lower fee income and higher debt extinguishment costs, partially offset by lower general and administrative expenses and lower preferred dividends on account of the redemption of the Company’s Series J Preferred Shares in late 2019. The decrease in Operating FFO primarily was attributable to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on rental income and fee income.

NOI is calculated as property revenues less property-related expenses. The Company believes NOI provides useful information to investors regarding the Company’s financial condition and results of operations because it reflects only those income and expense items that are incurred at the property level and, when compared across periods, reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs and acquisition and disposition activity on an unleveraged basis. The Company also presents NOI information on a same store basis, or Same Store Net Operating Income (“SSNOI”). The Company defines SSNOI as property revenues less property-related expenses, which exclude straight-line rental income (including reimbursements) and expenses, lease termination income, management fee expense, fair market value of leases and expense recovery adjustments. SSNOI includes assets owned in comparable periods (12 months for year-end comparisons). In addition, SSNOI is presented both including and excluding activity associated with development and major redevelopment. In addition, SSNOI excludes all non-property and corporate level revenue and expenses. Other real estate companies may calculate NOI and SSNOI in a different manner. The Company believes SSNOI at its effective ownership interest provides investors with additional information regarding the operating performances of comparable assets because it excludes certain non-cash and non-comparable items as noted above. SSNOI is frequently used by the real estate industry, as well as securities analysts, investors and other interested parties, to evaluate the performance of REITs. SSNOI is not, and is not intended to be, a presentation in accordance with GAAP. SSNOI information has its limitations as it excludes any capital expenditures associated with the re-leasing of tenant space or 59 as needed to operate the assets. SSNOI does not represent amounts available for dividends, capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations or other commitments and uncertainties. Management does not use SSNOI as an indicator of the Company’s cash obligations and funding requirements for future commitments, acquisitions or development activities. SSNOI does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. SSNOI should not be considered as an alternative to net income (computed in accordance with GAAP) or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. A reconciliation of NOI and SSNOI to their most directly comparable GAAP measure of net income (loss) is provided below. Reconciliation Presentation The Company’s reconciliation of net income computed in accordance with GAAP to NOI and SSNOI for the Company at 100% and at its effective ownership interest of the assets is as follows (in thousands): For the Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 2020 2019 Net income attributable to SITE Centers Fee income Interest income Interest expense Depreciation and amortization General and administrative Other expense (income), net Impairment charges Equity in net income of joint ventures Reserve of preferred equity interests Tax expense Gain on sale and change in control of interests, net Gain on disposition of real estate, net Income from non-controlling interests Consolidated NOI SITE Centers’ consolidated joint venture Consolidated NOI, net of non-controlling interests Net (loss) income from unconsolidated joint ventures Interest expense Depreciation and amortization Impairment charges Preferred share expense Other expense, net Gain on disposition of real estate, net Unconsolidated NOI Total Consolidated + Unconsolidated NOI Less: Non-Same Store NOI adjustments Total SSNOI including redevelopment Less: Redevelopment Same Store NOI adjustments Total SSNOI excluding redevelopment SSNOI % Change including redevelopment SSNOI % Change excluding redevelopment 60 At 100% (59,352) (18,009) 84,721 165,087 58,384 (357) 3,370 (11,519) 15,544 659 (43,574) (11,888) 77,604 170,669 52,881 18,400 5,200 (1,516) 19,393 1,131 (45,464) (1,069) 869 At the Company’s Interest $ 35,721 $100,699 $ 35,721 $100,699 (59,352) (18,009) 84,721 165,087 58,384 (357) 3,370 (11,519) 15,544 659 — (31,380) 1,126 $278,357 $308,973 $278,357 $308,973 (1,787) $278,357 $308,973 $276,705 $307,186 (43,574) (11,888) 77,604 170,669 52,881 18,400 5,200 (1,516) 19,393 1,131 — (45,464) (1,069) 869 (31,380) 1,126 (1,652) — — $ (37,370) $ 77,042 $ 892 $ 10,504 16,408 24,186 2,530 1,092 3,978 (4,180) $175,906 $309,869 $ 35,048 $ 54,518 93,887 149,749 13,807 21,832 20,563 (67,011) 12,068 18,251 1,890 785 2,946 (1,784) 60,010 99,779 33,240 15,708 13,796 (9,257) 7,543 $311,753 $361,704 (2,347) $319,296 $359,357 (13,017) $308,676 $346,340 (10,620) (11.1%) (10.9%) The decrease in SSNOI at the Company’s effective ownership interest for the year ended 2020 (adjusted to reflect the Blackstone Joint ventures at 100% for both years) , as compared to 2019, primarily was due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on rental income (including non-recognition of uncollected contractual lease payments owed by tenants on the cash basis of accounting, other reserves and the impact of lease modification accounting, where applicable), decreased ancillary and other rental income. The decrease was partly offset by increases in the base rent per occupied square foot resulting from a combination of new leases and renewals and rental rate escalations. LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND FINANCING ACTIVITIES The Company periodically evaluates opportunities to issue and sell additional debt or equity securities, obtain credit facilities from lenders or repurchase or refinance long-term debt as part of its overall strategy to further strengthen its financial position. The Company remains committed to monitoring liquidity and maintaining low leverage in an effort to lower its overall risk profile. The Company’s consolidated and unconsolidated debt obligations generally require monthly or semi- annual payments of principal and/or interest over the term of the obligation. While the Company currently believes it has several viable sources to obtain capital and fund its business, including capacity under its credit facilities described below, no assurance can be provided that these obligations will be refinanced or repaid as currently anticipated. The Company has historically accessed capital sources through both the public and private markets. Acquisitions and redevelopments are generally financed through cash provided from operating activities, Revolving Credit Facilities (as defined below), mortgages assumed, secured debt, unsecured debt, common and preferred equity offerings, joint venture capital and asset sales. Total consolidated debt outstanding was $1.9 billion at December 31, 2020, compared to $1.8 billion at December 31, 2019. As a result of the uncertain impact that the COVID-19 pandemic might have on the Company’s business and the duration thereof, the Company took proactive measures to further improve its financial position and liquidity. In March 2020, as a precautionary measure, the Company drew $500.0 million on its Revolving Credit Facilities. Proceeds from the sale of its interest in the DDRTC joint venture, along with an additional $145.0 million from borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facilities, were used in March 2020 to redeem all $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes due 2022. In the last three quarters of 2020, the Company repaid $510.0 million under the Revolving Credit Facilities based on the health and relative stability in the capital markets and improving operating cash flow. As a result, the Company had an unrestricted cash balance of $69.7 million at December 31, 2020, $135.0 million outstanding on Revolving Credit Facilities and remaining availability under the Revolving Credit Facilities of $835.0 million (subject to satisfaction of applicable borrowing conditions). The Company has $111.8 million of consolidated mortgage debt maturing in 2021 (prior to the January 2021 refinancing discussed below), $62.3 million of consolidated mortgage debt maturing in 2022 and no unsecured debt maturities prior to 2023. The Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures have $89.9 million of mortgage debt at the Company’s share maturing in 2021 and $43.7 million of mortgage debt at the Company’s share maturing in 2022. As a result of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, in 2020, the Company also took steps to substantially reduce capital spending. As of December 31, 2020, the Company has identified projects and anticipates funding approximately $24 million on its redevelopment pipeline. In an effort to preserve capital, the Company did not declare a dividend on its common shares in the second or third quarters of 2020. The Company declared a dividend of $0.05 per share in the fourth quarter of 2020 and declared a dividend of $0.11 per share in the first quarter of 2021. The Company believes that these collective actions will continue to provide sufficient liquidity to operate its business. 61 Revolving Credit Facilities The Company maintains an unsecured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of financial institutions, arranged by Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., Citizens Bank, N.A., RBC Capital Markets and U.S. Bank National Association (the “Unsecured Credit Facility”). The Unsecured Credit Facility provides for borrowings of up to $950 million (which may be increased to $1.45 billion provided that the new lenders agree to existing terms of the facility or existing lenders increase their incremental commitments) and a maturity date of January 2024, with to two six-month options to extend the maturity to January 2025 upon the Company’s request (subject to satisfaction of certain conditions). The Company also maintains an unsecured revolving credit facility with PNC Bank, National Association, which provides for borrowings of up to $20 million (the “PNC Facility,” and together with the Unsecured Credit Facility, the “Revolving Credit Facilities”) and has terms substantially the same as those contained in the Unsecured Credit Facility. The Company’s borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facilities bear interest at variable rates at the Company’s election, based on either LIBOR plus a specified spread (0.9% at December 31, 2020), or the Alternate Base Rate, as defined in the respective facility, plus a specified spread (0% at December 31, 2020). The Company also pays an annual facility fee of 20 basis points on the aggregate commitments applicable to each Revolving Credit Facility. The specified spreads and commitment fees vary depending on the Company’s long-term senior unsecured debt ratings from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”), S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”), Fitch Investor Services Inc. (“Fitch”) and their successors. The Revolving Credit Facilities and the indentures under which the Company’s senior and subordinated unsecured indebtedness are, or may be, issued contain certain financial and operating covenants including, among other things, leverage ratios and debt service coverage and fixed charge coverage ratios, as well as limitations on the Company’s ability to incur secured and unsecured indebtedness, sell all or substantially all of the Company’s assets and engage in mergers and certain acquisitions. These credit facilities and indentures also contain customary default provisions including the failure to make timely payments of principal and interest payable thereunder, the failure to comply with the Company’s financial and operating covenants and the failure of the Company or its majority-owned subsidiaries (i.e., entities in which the Company has a greater than 50% interest) to pay, when due, certain indebtedness in excess of certain thresholds beyond applicable grace and cure periods. In the event the Company’s lenders or note holders declare a default, as defined in the applicable agreements governing the debt, the Company may be unable to obtain further funding, and/or an acceleration of any outstanding borrowings may occur. As of December 31, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all of its financial covenants in the agreements governing its debt. Although the Company intends to operate in compliance with these covenants, if the Company were to violate these covenants, the Company may be subject to higher finance costs and fees or accelerated maturities. The Company is closely monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business and the Company believes it will continue to operate in compliance with these covenants. Consolidated Indebtedness – as of December 31, 2020 At December 31, 2020, the Company had $111.8 million of consolidated mortgage debt maturing in 2021 and $62.3 million of consolidated mortgage debt maturing in 2022. In January 2021, the Company repaid $8.8 million of a $96.5 million mortgage loan which was scheduled to mature in January 2021 and exercised an extension option for the remaining $87.7 million to a maturity date of January 2022. As part of that refinancing and maturity extension, one of the collateral properties was released. The remaining $15.3 million of mortgage indebtedness due in 2021 is expected to be repaid with operating cash. The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $69.7 million at December 31, 2020, as well as $835.0 million of borrowing capacity available on the Revolving Credit Facilities at December 31, 2020. As discussed above, the Company is committed to maintaining low leverage and may utilize proceeds from asset sales and other investments to repay additional debt. No assurance can be provided that these 62 obligations will be refinanced or repaid as currently anticipated. These sources of funds could be affected by various risks and uncertainties (see Item 1A. Risk Factors). The Company continually evaluates its debt maturities and, based on management’s assessment, believes it has viable financing and refinancing alternatives. The Company has sought to manage its debt maturities through executing a strategy to extend debt duration, increase liquidity, maintain low leverage and improve the Company’s credit profile with a focus on lowering the Company’s balance sheet risk and cost of capital. Unconsolidated Joint Ventures Mortgage Indebtedness – as of December 31, 2020 The outstanding indebtedness of the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures at December 31, 2020, which matures in the subsequent 14-month period (i.e., through February 28, 2022), is as follows (in millions): DDR – Domestic Retail Fund I(A) RVIP IIIB(B) Sun Center Limited(B) DDR SAU Retail Fund LLC(C) Total debt maturities through February 2022 Outstanding at December 31, 2020 At SITE Centers’ Share $274.2 63.8 19.2 17.0 $374.2 $54.8 16.4 15.2 3.4 $89.8 (A) Expected to be extended at the joint venture’s option in accordance with the loan agreement. (B) Expected to be refinanced. (C) Expect to enter into an extension agreement with the lender. Subject to the uncertain impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on capital and transaction markets, it is expected that the joint ventures will fund these obligations from refinancing opportunities, including extension options or possible asset sales. No assurance can be provided that these obligations will be refinanced or repaid as currently anticipated. Similar to SITE Centers, the Company’s joint ventures have experienced a reduction in the last three quarters of 2020 rent collections as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Depending on the duration of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and subject to discussions with applicable lenders, reduced rent collections may cause one or more of these joint ventures to be unable to satisfy applicable covenants, financial tests or debt service requirements in the future, thereby allowing the mortgage lender to assume control of property cash flows, limit distributions of cash to joint venture members, declare a default, increase the interest rate or accelerate the loan’s maturity. Cash Flow Activity The Company’s cash flow activities are summarized as follows (in thousands): Cash flow provided by operating activities Cash flow provided by (used for) investing activities Cash flow used for financing activities 63 For the Year Ended December 31, 2020 $ 190,170 102,478 (237,363) 2019 $ 270,154 (10,395) (254,278) Changes in cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to the prior year are as follows: Operating Activities: Cash provided by operating activities decreased $80.0 million primarily due to the following: • • • • Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the collection of contractual rental obligations from tenants; Reduction of income due to properties sold and reduction in distributions received from the DDRTC Joint Venture and BRE DDR Joint Ventures; Reduction in fee income due to RVI asset sales and the termination of the DDRTC Joint Venture and BRE DDR Joint Venture and Reduction in interest expense. Investing Activities: Cash provided by investing activities increased $112.9 million primarily due to the following: • • • • Increase in proceeds of $42.8 million from disposition of real estate and joint venture interests; Decrease in real estate assets acquired of $75.6 million; Decrease in real estate improvements of $45.5 million and Decreases in collections from RVI of $33.6 million relating to contractual amounts repaid by RVI to the Company in 2019. Financing Activities: Cash used for financing activities decreased $16.9 million primarily due to the following: • • • Decrease in dividends paid of $82.4 million; Decrease in common share repurchases of $6.6 million and Increase in debt repayments, net of issuance costs in 2019 of $76.1 million. RVI Preferred Shares In 2018, RVI issued to the Company 1,000 shares of its series A preferred stock (the “RVI Preferred Shares”), which are noncumulative and have no mandatory dividend rate or maturity date. The RVI Preferred Shares rank, with respect to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of RVI, senior in preference and priority to RVI’s common shares and any other class or series of RVI capital stock. Subject to the requirement that RVI distribute to its common shareholders the minimum amount required to be distributed with respect to any taxable year in order for RVI to maintain its status as a REIT and to avoid U.S. federal income taxes, the RVI Preferred Shares will be entitled to a dividend preference for all dividends declared on RVI’s capital stock at any time up to a “preference amount” equal to $190 million in the aggregate, which amount may increase by up to an additional $10 million if the aggregate gross proceeds of RVI asset sales subsequent to July 1, 2018, exceed $2.0 billion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the RVI Preferred Shares are entitled to receive dividends only when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors of RVI, and RVI’s ability to pay dividends is subject to any restrictions set forth in the terms of its indebtedness. Dividend Distribution The Company satisfied its REIT requirement of distributing at least 90% of ordinary taxable income with declared common and preferred share cash dividends of $69.2 million in 2020, as compared to $179.5 million of cash dividends paid in 2019. Because actual distributions were greater than 100% of taxable income, federal income taxes were not incurred by the Company in 2020. 64 The Company declared cash dividends of $0.25 per common share in 2020. The Company declared a dividend of $0.20 in the first quarter of 2020. In order to maintain maximum flexibility given the uncertain impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business, the Company’s Board of Directors elected not to declare a dividend on its common shares in the second or third quarter of 2020. However, the Company declared a dividend of $0.05 in the fourth quarter of 2020. In February 2021, the Company declared its first quarter 2021 dividend of $0.11 per common share payable on April 6, 2021 to shareholders of record at the close of business on March 18, 2021. The Board of Directors of the Company intends to monitor the dividend policy in order to maximize the Company’s free cash flow while still adhering to REIT payout requirements. Common Shares and Common Share Repurchase Program The Company has a $250.0 million continuous equity program. At February 16, 2021, the Company had all $250.0 million available for the future issuance of common shares under that program. In November 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a common share repurchase program. Under the terms of the program, the Company may purchase up to a maximum aggregate value of $100 million of its common shares. Through December 31, 2020, the Company had repurchased under this program 5.1 million of its common shares in open market transactions at an aggregate cost of $57.9 million. 2021 Transaction Activity SOURCES AND USES OF CAPITAL On February 2, 2021, the Company, along with its partners, sold a parcel of undeveloped land (approximating 70 acres) in Richmond Hill, Ontario. The Company’s share of net proceeds totaled approximately $22 million after accounting for customary closing costs and foreign currency translation. As of December 31, 2020, the Company’s net investment had a book value of $3.3 million. Subsequent to the transaction, the Company has no other direct investments outside the continental United States. 2020 Strategic Transaction Activity The Company remains committed to monitoring liquidity and maintaining low leverage in an effort to lower its overall risk profile. Asset sales and proceeds from the repayment of other investments continue to represent a potential source of proceeds to be used to achieve these objectives. Acquisitions In the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company transferred and redeemed its preferred equity interests in the BRE DDR Joint Ventures in exchange for the acquisition of certain of the underlying assets of the joint ventures as follows: • On October 15, 2020, an affiliate of Blackstone transferred its common equity interest in BRE DDR IV to the Company for consideration of $1.00 and the Company’s preferred investment in the BRE DDR IV joint venture was redeemed, thereby leaving the Company as the sole owner of (i) the properties previously owned by BRE DDR IV, including Ashbridge Square, The Hub, Southmont Plaza, Millenia Crossing, Concourse Village and two properties, Echelon Village Plaza and Larkin’s Corner, in which the Company did not previously have a material economic interest, and (ii) $5.4 million in net cash. The Company acquired these seven properties subject to existing mortgage loans which had an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $146.6 million as of October 15, 2020. 65 • On November 20, 2020, the Company transferred its common and preferred equity interests in BRE DDR III to an affiliate of Blackstone in exchange for BRE DDR III’s interests in the single- purpose subsidiaries which owned White Oak Village and Midtowne Park and $4.9 million in net cash. These two properties are subject to existing mortgage loans, which had an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $50.0 million as of November 20, 2020. Proceeds from Transactional Activity In 2020, the Company sold its 15% interest in the DDRTC Joint Venture to its partner, an affiliate of TIAA-CREF, based on a gross fund value of $1.14 billion, which included $184.9 million of mortgage debt at December 31, 2019. At the time of the sale, the DDRTC Joint Venture was composed of 21 assets, totaling 7.1 million square feet, and completion of the sale resulted in net proceeds to the Company of $140.4 million. These proceeds were applied toward the redemption of the Company’s Senior Notes due 2022. In 2020, the Company consummated the sale of certain land parcels and the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures sold two shopping center assets, aggregating 0.2 million square feet. These sales collectively generated proceeds totaling $28.7 million, of which the Company’s proportionate share of the proceeds was $6.6 million. The Company’s pro rata share of proceeds is before giving effect to the repayment of indebtedness and transaction costs. The Company also received $7.5 million related to the repayment of a third-party loan investment. Changes in investment strategies for assets may impact the Company’s hold-period assumptions for those properties. The disposition of certain assets could result in a loss or impairment recorded in future periods. The Company evaluates all potential sale opportunities taking into account the long-term growth prospects of the assets, the use of proceeds and the impact to the Company’s balance sheet, in addition to the impact on operating results. Redevelopment Opportunities One key component to the Company’s long-term strategic plan will be the evaluation of additional redevelopment potential within the portfolio, particularly as it relates to the efficient use of the underlying real estate. The Company will generally commence construction on various redevelopments only after substantial tenant leasing has occurred. However, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company will continue to closely monitor its expected spending in 2021 for redevelopment, as the Company considers this funding to be discretionary spending. The Company took steps in 2020 to substantially reduce capital spending. At December 31, 2020, the Company has identified projects and anticipates funding approximately $24 million on its redevelopment pipeline. The Company does not anticipate expending significant funds on joint venture redevelopment projects in 2021. The Company’s consolidated land holdings are classified in two separate line items on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets included herein, (i) Land and (ii) Construction in Progress and Land. At December 31, 2020, the $953.6 million of Land primarily consisted of land that is part of the Company’s shopping center portfolio. However, this amount also includes a small portion of vacant land composed primarily of outlots or expansion pads adjacent to the shopping center properties. Approximately 130 acres of this land, which has a recorded cost basis of approximately $15 million, is available for future development or sale. Included in Construction in Progress and Land at December 31, 2020 was approximately $6 million of recorded costs related to undeveloped land being marketed for sale for which active construction never commenced or was previously ceased. The Company evaluates these assets each reporting period and records an impairment charge equal to the difference between the current carrying value and fair value when the expected undiscounted cash flows are less than the asset’s carrying value. 66 Redevelopment Projects As part of its strategy to expand, improve and re-tenant various properties, at December 31, 2020, the Company had invested approximately $42 million in various consolidated active redevelopment and other projects. The Company’s major redevelopment projects are typically substantially complete within two years of the construction commencement date.

In 2019, the Company redeemed all of its 6.50% Class J Cumulative Redeemable Preference Shares having a $200.0 million aggregate liquidation preference (the “Class J Preferred Shares”) at a redemption price of $500 per Class J Preferred Share (or $25.00 per depositary share) plus accrued and unpaid dividends of $3.7917 per Class J Preferred Share (or $0.1896 per depositary share). The Company recorded a non-cash charge of $7.2 million to net income attributable to common shareholders, which represents the difference between the redemption price and the carrying amount immediately prior to redemption. 67 Acquisitions In 2019, the Company purchased three shopping centers (Tampa, Florida; Portland, Oregon and Austin, Texas) for an aggregate purchase price of $85.1 million. Proceeds from Transactional Activity In 2019, the Company sold four consolidated shopping center properties, aggregating 0.5 million square feet, which, together with land sales, generated proceeds totaling $105.8 million. The Company recorded a net gain of $31.4 million. In addition, three of the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures sold six shopping center assets, aggregating 2.3 million square feet, which, together with land sales, generated proceeds totaling $356.3 million, of which the Company’s proportionate share of the proceeds was $32.2 million. The Company’s pro rata share of proceeds is before giving effect to the repayment of indebtedness and transaction costs. The asset sales from the joint ventures with Blackstone resulted in preferred equity repayments received by the Company of $61.4 million. In 2019, the Company received $34.0 million from RVI for repayment of receivables established at the time of the spin-off transaction. In 2019, the Company also received $12.0 million related to the repayment of a third-party loan investment. Development and Redevelopments The Company invested an aggregate of $100.8 million in various development and redevelopment projects on a net basis during 2019. OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS The Company has a number of off-balance sheet joint ventures with varying economic structures. Through these interests, the Company has investments in operating properties and one development project in Richmond Hill, Ontario, which was sold in February 2021. Such arrangements are generally with institutional investors. The Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures had aggregate outstanding indebtedness to third parties of $1.0 billion and $1.6 billion at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively (see Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk). Such mortgages are generally non-recourse to the Company and its partners; however, certain mortgages may have recourse to the Company and its partners in certain limited situations, such as misappropriation of funds, impermissible transfer, environmental contamination and material misrepresentations. CAPITALIZATION At December 31, 2020, the Company’s capitalization consisted of $1.9 billion of debt, $325.0 million of preferred shares and $2.0 billion of market equity (market equity is defined as common shares and OP Units outstanding multiplied by $10.12, the closing price of the Company’s common shares on the New York Stock Exchange at December 31, 2020), resulting in a debt to total market capitalization ratio of 0.46 to 1.0, as compared to the ratio of 0.38 to 1.0 at December 31, 2019. The closing price of the Company’s common shares on the New York Stock Exchange was $14.02 at December 31, 2019. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company’s total debt consisted of $1.6 billion and $1.8 billion of fixed-rate debt, respectively, and $0.3 billion and $0.1 billion of variable-rate debt, respectively. It is management’s strategy to have access to the capital resources necessary to manage the Company’s balance sheet and to repay upcoming maturities. Accordingly, the Company may seek to obtain 68 funds through additional debt or equity financings and/or joint venture capital in a manner consistent with its intention to operate with a conservative debt capitalization policy and to reduce the Company’s cost of capital by maintaining an investment grade rating with Moody’s, S&P and Fitch. A security rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities, as it may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the rating organization. Each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating. The Company may not be able to obtain financing on favorable terms, or at all, which may negatively affect future ratings. The Company’s credit facilities and the indentures under which the Company’s senior and subordinated unsecured indebtedness are, or may be, issued contain certain financial and operating covenants, including, among other things, debt service coverage and fixed-charge coverage ratios, as well as limitations on the Company’s ability to incur secured and unsecured indebtedness, sell all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, engage in mergers and certain acquisitions and make distribution to its shareholders. Although the Company intends to operate in compliance with these covenants, if the Company were to violate these covenants, the Company may be subject to higher finance costs and fees or accelerated maturities. In addition, certain of the Company’s credit facilities and indentures permit the acceleration of maturity in the event certain other debt of the Company is in default or has been accelerated. Foreclosure on mortgaged properties or an inability to refinance existing indebtedness would have a negative impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND OTHER COMMITMENTS The Company has debt obligations relating to its Revolving Credit Facilities, term loan, fixed-rate senior notes and mortgages payable with maturities up to 10 years. In addition, the Company has non-cancelable operating leases, principally for office space and ground leases. These obligations are summarized as follows for the subsequent five years ending December 31 (in millions): Contractual Obligations Total Less than 1 year 1–3 years 3–5 years More than 5 years Debt(A) Interest payments(B) Operating leases Total $1,939.9 $ 141.1 $258.5 $692.6 $ 847.7 31.4 128.5 114.0 7.6 $2,399.3 $ 214.8 $394.6 $796.8 $ 993.1 326.1 133.3 69.3 4.4 96.9 7.3 (A) In January 2021, the Company extended $87.7 million of debt and repaid $8.8 million scheduled to mature in January 2021. (B) Represents interest payments expected to be incurred on the Company’s consolidated debt obligations as of December 31, 2020, including capitalized interest. For variable-rate debt, the rate in effect at December 31, 2020, is assumed to remain in effect until the respective initial maturity date of each instrument. RVI Guaranty In 2018, the Company provided an unconditional guaranty to PNC Bank with respect to any obligations of RVI outstanding from time to time under a $30 million revolving credit agreement entered into by RVI with PNC Bank. RVI has agreed to reimburse the Company for any amounts paid by it to PNC Bank pursuant to the guaranty plus interest at a contracted rate and to pay an annual commitment fee to the Company on account of the guaranty. Other Guaranties In conjunction with the redevelopment of shopping centers, the Company had entered into commitments with general contractors aggregating approximately $12.4 million for its consolidated 69 properties at December 31, 2020. These obligations, composed principally of construction contracts, are generally due within 12 to 24 months, as the related construction costs are incurred, and are expected to be financed through operating cash flow, asset sales or borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facilities. These contracts typically can be changed or terminated without penalty. At December 31, 2020, the Company had letters of credit outstanding of $13.2 million. The Company has not recorded any obligations associated with these letters of credit, the majority of which are collateral for existing indebtedness and other obligations of the Company. The Company routinely enters into contracts for the maintenance of its properties. These contracts typically can be canceled upon 30 to 60 days’ notice without penalty. At December 31, 2020, the Company had purchase order obligations, typically payable within one year, aggregating approximately $1.0 million related to the maintenance of its properties and general and administrative expenses. The Company has entered into employment contracts with its three executive officers. These contracts generally provide for base salary, bonuses based on factors including the financial performance of the Company and personal performance, participation in the Company’s equity plans and retirement plans, health and welfare benefits and reimbursement of various qualified business expenses. These employment agreements also provide for certain perquisites (e.g., disability insurance coverage, car service, reimbursement of life insurance premiums, etc.) and severance payments and benefits for various departure scenarios. The employment agreement for the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer extends through September 2024. The employment agreements for the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer extend through February 2024 and December 2021, respectively. All of the agreements are subject to termination by either the Company or the executive without cause upon at least 90 days’ notice subject to the payment of severance and other amounts to the executive under certain circumstances. ECONOMIC CONDITIONS Despite recent tenant bankruptcies and the increase of e-commerce distribution, the Company saw continued demand from a broad range of tenants for its space in early 2020, particularly in the off-price sector, which the Company believes reflects an increasingly value-oriented consumer. This demand was evidenced by leasing activity in January and February of 2020 that was relatively consistent with recent historical levels. The COVID-19 pandemic caused a slowdown in lease activity in March, which continued late into the second quarter of 2020. The Company experienced strong momentum in new lease discussions and renewal negotiations with tenants beginning in the third quarter of 2020, and the Company’s quarterly leasing volume for the fourth quarter of 2020 was its highest since the third quarter of 2018. Ultimately, the Company executed new leases and renewals aggregating approximately three million square feet of space for the year ended December 31, 2020 on a pro rata basis which matched its pro rata leasing volume for the year ended December 31, 2019. The Company believes that strong leasing volumes during the second half of 2020 are partially attributable to the location of the Company’s portfolio in suburban, high household income communities and to national tenants increasing emphasis and reliance on physical store locations to improve the spread and efficiency of fulfillment of online purchases. The Company benefits from a diversified tenant base, with only two tenants whose annualized rental revenue equals or exceeds 3% of the Company’s annualized consolidated revenues plus the Company’s proportionate share of unconsolidated joint venture revenues (TJX Companies at 5.9% and Bed Bath & Beyond at 3.2%). Other significant tenants include Dick’s Sporting Goods, Ulta, Best Buy, Nordstrom Rack, Five Below, Ross Stores, Kroger, Whole Foods and Home Depot, all of which have relatively strong financial positions, have outperformed other retail categories over time and the Company believes remain well capitalized. Historically, these tenants have provided a stable revenue base, and the Company believes that they will continue to provide a stable revenue base going forward, given the long-term nature of these 70 leases. The majority of the tenants in the Company’s shopping centers provide day-to-day consumer necessities with a focus on value and convenience, versus discretionary items, which the Company believes will enable many of its tenants to outperform under a variety of economic conditions. The Company recognizes the risks posed by current economic conditions but believes that the position of its portfolio and the general diversity and credit quality of its tenant base should enable it to successfully navigate through a potentially challenging economic environment. The Company has relatively little reliance on overage or percentage rents generated by tenant sales performance. The Company believes that its shopping center portfolio is well positioned, as evidenced by its historical property income growth and consistent growth in average annualized base rent per occupied square foot. Historical occupancy has generally ranged from 89% to 96% since the Company’s initial public offering in 1993. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the shopping center portfolio occupancy, on a pro rata basis, was 89.0% and 90.8%, respectively, and the total portfolio average annualized base rent per occupied square foot, on a pro rata basis, was $18.50 and $18.25, respectively. The Company’s portfolio has been impacted by tenant bankruptcies and lease expirations (which have increased in number and pace following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic) and the Company has had to invest capital to re-lease anchor units; however, the per square foot cost to do so has been predominantly consistent with the Company’s historical trends. The weighted-average cost of tenant improvements and lease commissions estimated to be incurred over the expected lease term for new and renewal leases executed during 2020 and 2019, on a pro rata basis, was $2.10 and $2.56 per rentable square foot, respectively. The Company generally does not expend a significant amount of capital on lease renewals. Beginning in March 2020, the retail sector has been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Though the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on tenant operations has varied by tenant category, local conditions and applicable government mandates, a significant number of the Company’s tenants have experienced a reduction in sales and foot traffic, and many tenants were forced to limit their operations or close their businesses for a period of time. As of February 12, 2021, approximately 98% of the Company’s tenants (at the Company’s share and based on average base rents) were open for business, up from a low of approximately 45% in early April 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic had no impact on the Company’s collection of rents for the first quarter of 2020, but it had a significant impact on collection of rents for April 2020 through January 31, 2021. The Company’s tenants quarterly rent payment rates, determined on a pro rata basis (at the Company’s share and properties received from the BRE DDR Joint Ventures at 100% ownership), are reflected as follows: As of February 12, 2021 Second Quarter 2020 79% Third Quarter 2020 88% Fourth Quarter 2020 94% January 2021 94% For purposes of reporting the percentage of aggregate base rents collected for a given period, when rents subject to deferral arrangements are later paid, those payments are allocated to the period in which the rent was originally owed. The Company calculates the aggregate percentage of rents paid by comparing the amount of tenant payments received as of the date presented to the amount billed to tenants during the period, which billed amount includes abated rents, rents subject to deferral arrangements and rents owing from bankrupt tenants that were in possession of the space and billed. The Company continues to evaluate its options with respect to tenants with which the Company has not reached satisfactory resolution of unpaid rents and has commenced collections actions against several tenants. In addition, the Company has engaged in discussions with most of its larger tenants that failed to satisfy all or a portion of their rent obligations during 2020 and has agreed to terms on rent-deferral arrangements (and in a smaller number of cases, rent abatements) with a significant number of tenants. Agreed-upon rent-deferral arrangements relating to 2020 base rents that remain unpaid represented the 71 following percentages of quarterly base rents (at the Company’s share and properties received from the BRE DDR Joint Ventures at 100% ownership), including tenants on the cash basis: As of February 12, 2021 Second Quarter 2020 11% Third Quarter 2020 8% Fourth Quarter 2020 2% January 2021 1% A majority of such deferred rents are expected to be repaid by year-end 2021. While the Company is unable to forecast the resolution of unpaid rents of 2020, outstanding tenant relief requests, the level of rent collections for subsequent periods or the duration of the disruption to tenant and Company operations caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company expects that its results of operations will continue to be adversely impacted by the pandemic and its impact on the economy. Additionally, new surges in contagion may lead to new restrictions on tenant operations, nonpayment of contractual and previously deferred rents, additional tenant requests for rent relief and additional tenant closures and bankruptcies, all of which may further adversely impact the Company’s results of operations in the future. Certain tenant categories may be especially vulnerable, including movie theaters, local restaurants, fitness and local restaurants. For additional risks relating to the COVID-19 pandemic, see Item 1A. Risk Factors. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS New Accounting Standards are more fully described in Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” of the Company’s consolidated financial statements included herein. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report. Historical results and percentage relationships set forth in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, including trends that might appear, should not be taken as indicative of future operations. The Company considers portions of this information to be “forward- looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, both as amended, with respect to the Company’s expectations for future periods. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements related to acquisitions (including any related pro forma financial information) and other business development activities, future capital expenditures, financing sources and availability and the effects of environmental and other regulations. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that its expectations will be achieved. For this purpose, any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact should be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, the words “will,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “expects,” “seeks,” “estimates” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Readers should exercise caution in interpreting and relying on forward-looking statements because such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that are, in some cases, beyond the Company’s control and that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements and that could materially affect the Company’s actual results, performance or achievements. For additional factors that could cause the results of the Company to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements (see Item 1A. Risk Factors). The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic may also exacerbate the risks discussed therein and herein, any of which could have a material effect on the Company. 72 Factors that could cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following: • • • • • • • • • The Company is subject to general risks affecting the real estate industry, including the need to enter into new leases or renew leases on favorable terms to generate rental revenues, and any economic downturn may adversely affect the ability of the Company’s tenants, or new tenants, to enter into new leases or the ability of the Company’s existing tenants to renew their leases at rates at least as favorable as their current rates; The Company could be adversely affected by changes in the local markets where its properties are located, as well as by adverse changes in national economic and market conditions; The Company may fail to anticipate the effects on its properties of changes in consumer buying practices, including sales over the internet and the resulting retailing practices and space needs of its tenants, or a general downturn in its tenants’ businesses, which may cause tenants to close stores or default in payment of rent; The Company is subject to competition for tenants from other owners of retail properties, and its tenants are subject to competition from other retailers and methods of distribution. The Company is dependent upon the successful operations and financial condition of its tenants, in particular its major tenants, and could be adversely affected by the bankruptcy of those tenants; The Company relies on major tenants, which makes it vulnerable to changes in the business and financial condition of, or demand for its space by, such tenants; The Company may not realize the intended benefits of acquisition or merger transactions. The acquired assets may not perform as well as the Company anticipated, or the Company may not successfully integrate the assets and realize improvements in occupancy and operating results. The acquisition of certain assets may subject the Company to liabilities, including environmental liabilities; The Company may fail to identify, acquire, construct or develop additional properties that produce a desired yield on invested capital, or may fail to effectively integrate acquisitions of properties or portfolios of properties. In addition, the Company may be limited in its acquisition opportunities due to competition, the inability to obtain financing on reasonable terms or any financing at all and other factors; The Company may fail to dispose of properties on favorable terms, especially in regions experiencing deteriorating economic conditions. In addition, real estate investments can be illiquid, particularly as prospective buyers may experience increased costs of financing or difficulties obtaining financing due to local or global conditions, and could limit the Company’s ability to promptly make changes to its portfolio to respond to economic and other conditions; The Company may abandon a development or redevelopment opportunity after expending resources if it determines that the opportunity is not feasible due to a variety of factors, including a lack of availability of construction financing on reasonable terms, the impact of the economic environment on prospective tenants’ ability to enter into new leases or pay contractual rent or the inability of the Company to obtain all necessary zoning and other required governmental permits and authorizations; 73 • • • • • • • • • • The Company may not complete development or redevelopment projects on schedule as a result of various factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, such as weather, labor conditions, governmental approvals, material shortages or general economic downturn, resulting in limited availability of capital, increased debt service expense and construction costs and decreases in revenue; The Company’s financial condition may be affected by required debt service payments, the risk of default, restrictions on its ability to incur additional debt or to enter into certain transactions under its credit facilities and other documents governing its debt obligations and the risk of downgrades from debt rating services. In addition, the Company may encounter difficulties in obtaining permanent financing or refinancing existing debt. Borrowings under the Company’s Revolving Credit Facilities are subject to certain representations and warranties and customary events of default, including any event that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business or financial condition; Changes in interest rates could adversely affect the market price of the Company’s common shares, as well as its performance and cash flow; Debt and/or equity financing necessary for the Company to continue to grow and operate its business may not be available or may not be available on favorable terms; Disruptions in the financial markets could affect the Company’s ability to obtain financing on reasonable terms and have other adverse effects on the Company and the market price of the Company’s common shares; The Company is subject to complex regulations related to its status as a REIT and would be adversely affected if it failed to qualify as a REIT; The Company must make distributions to shareholders to continue to qualify as a REIT, and if the Company must borrow funds to make distributions, those borrowings may not be available on favorable terms or at all; Joint venture investments may involve risks not otherwise present for investments made solely by the Company, including the possibility that a partner or co-venturer may become bankrupt, may at any time have interests or goals different from those of the Company and may take action contrary to the Company’s instructions, requests, policies or objectives, including the Company’s policy with respect to maintaining its qualification as a REIT. In addition, a partner or co- venturer may not have access to sufficient capital to satisfy its funding obligations to the joint venture or may seek to terminate the joint venture resulting in a loss to the Company of property revenues and management fees. The partner could cause a default under the joint venture loan for reasons outside the Company’s control. Furthermore, the Company could be required to reduce the carrying value of its equity investments, including preferred investments, if a loss in the carrying value of the investment is realized; The Company’s decision to dispose of real estate assets, including undeveloped land and construction in progress, would change the holding period assumption in the undiscounted cash flow impairment analyses, which could result in material impairment losses and adversely affect the Company’s financial results; The outcome of pending or future litigation, including litigation with tenants or joint venture partners, may adversely affect the Company’s results of operations and financial condition; 74 • • • • • • • • • Property damage, expenses related thereto, and other business and economic consequences (including the potential loss of revenue) resulting from extreme weather conditions or natural disasters in locations where the Company owns properties may adversely affect the Company’s results of operations and financial condition; Sufficiency and timing of any insurance recovery payments related to damages and lost revenues from extreme weather conditions or natural disasters may adversely affect the Company’s results of operations and financial condition; The Company and its tenants could be negatively affected by the impacts of pandemics and other public health crises, including the COVID-19 pandemic; The Company is subject to potential environmental liabilities; The Company may incur losses that are uninsured or exceed policy coverage due to its liability for certain injuries to persons, property or the environment occurring on its properties; The Company could incur additional expenses to comply with or respond to claims under the Americans with Disabilities Act or otherwise be adversely affected by changes in government regulations, including changes in environmental, zoning, tax and other regulations; Changes in accounting standards or other standards may adversely affect the Company’s business; The Company’s Board of Directors, which regularly reviews the Company’s business strategy and objectives, may change the Company’s strategic plan based on a variety of factors and conditions, including in response to changing market conditions and The Company and its vendors could sustain a disruption, failure or breach of their respective networks and systems, including as a result of cyber-attacks, which could disrupt the Company’s business operations, compromise the confidentiality of sensitive information and result in fines or penalties. 75 Item 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The Company’s primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk. The Company’s debt, excluding unconsolidated joint venture debt, is summarized as follows: Fixed-Rate Debt Variable-Rate Debt Amount (Millions) $1,602.4 $ 331.1 December 31, 2020 Weighted- Average Maturity (Years) Weighted- Average Interest Rate Percentage of Total Amount (Millions) 82.9% $1,742.8 4.1% 1.5% 17.1% $ 104.5 4.7 1.9 December 31, 2019 Weighted- Average Maturity (Years) Weighted- Average Interest Rate Percentage of Total 5.3 3.1 4.3% 94.3% 2.8% 5.7% The Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures’ indebtedness at its carrying value is summarized as follows: Fixed-Rate Debt Variable-Rate December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 Joint Venture Debt (Millions) $ 757.5 $ Company’s Proportionate Share (Millions) 178.2 Weighted- Average Maturity (Years) Weighted- Average Interest Rate Joint Venture Debt (Millions) Company’s Proportionate Share (Millions) Weighted- Average Maturity (Years) Weighted- Average Interest Rate 2.9 0.5 4.4% $1,032.8 $ 211.6 2.5% $ 607.3 $ 73.9 4.2 0.8 4.3% 3.5% Debt $ 272.1 $ 54.4 The Company intends to use retained cash flow, proceeds from asset sales, equity and debt financing and variable-rate indebtedness available under its Revolving Credit Facilities to repay indebtedness and fund capital expenditures at the Company’s shopping centers. Thus, to the extent the Company incurs additional variable-rate indebtedness, its exposure to increases in interest rates in an inflationary period could increase. The Company does not believe, however, that increases in interest expense as a result of inflation will significantly impact the Company’s distributable cash flow. The carrying value and the fair value of the Company’s fixed-rate debt are adjusted to include the Company’s proportionate share of the joint venture fixed-rate debt. An estimate of the effect of a 100 basis-point increase at December 31, 2020 and 2019, is summarized as follows (in millions): Company’s fixed-rate debt Company’s proportionate share of joint venture fixed- rate debt December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 Carrying Value Fair Value 100 Basis-Point Increase in Market Interest Rate Carrying Value Fair Value 100 Basis-Point Increase in Market Interest Rate $1,602.4 $1,704.0 $ 1,634.3 $1,742.8 $1,840.9 $ 1,756.9 $ 178.2 $ 181.6 $ 177.2 $ 211.6 $ 213.3 $ 205.9 The sensitivity to changes in interest rates of the Company’s fixed-rate debt was determined using a valuation model based upon factors that measure the net present value of such obligations that arise from the hypothetical estimate as discussed above. A 100 basis-point increase in short-term market interest rates on variable-rate debt at December 31, 2020, would result in an increase in interest expense of approximately $3.3 million for the Company and $0.5 million representing the Company’s proportionate share of the joint ventures’ interest expense relating to variable-rate debt outstanding for the 12-month period ended December 31, 2020. The estimated increase in interest expense for the year does not give effect to possible changes in the daily balance of the Company’s or joint ventures’ outstanding variable- rate debt. 76 The Company and its joint ventures intend to continually monitor and actively manage interest costs on their variable-rate debt portfolio and may enter into swap positions based on market fluctuations. In addition, the Company believes it has the ability to obtain funds through additional equity and/or debt offerings and joint venture capital. Accordingly, the cost of obtaining such protection agreements versus the Company’s access to capital markets will continue to be evaluated. The Company has not entered, and does not plan to enter, into any derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had no other material exposure to market risk. Item 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA The response to this item is included in a separate section at the end of this Annual Report on Form 10-K beginning on page F-1 and is incorporated herein by reference thereto. Item 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE None. Item 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Disclosure Controls and Procedures The Company’s management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), conducted an evaluation, pursuant to Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on their evaluation as required, the CEO and CFO have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) were effective as of December 31, 2020, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and were effective as of December 31, 2020, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its CEO and CFO, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f). 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.

F-1 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of SITE Centers Corp. Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of SITE Centers Corp. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related consolidated statements of operations, of comprehensive income, of equity and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, including the related notes and financial statement schedules listed in the accompanying index (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO. Basis for Opinions The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions. Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting 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 F-2 external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) 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 (iii) 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. Critical Audit Matters The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate. Valuation and Related Purchase Price Allocations of Properties Acquired in Connection with the Transfer and Redemption of Preferred Interests As described in Notes 1, 3, and 14 to the consolidated financial statements, on October 15, 2020, an affiliate of Blackstone transferred its common equity interest in BRE DDR IV to the Company for consideration of $1.00 and the Company’s preferred investment in the BRE DDR IV joint venture was redeemed, thereby leaving the Company as the sole owner of seven properties, each subject to a mortgage loan. In addition, on November 20, 2020, the Company transferred its common and preferred equity interests in BRE DDR III to an affiliate of Blackstone in exchange for BRE DDR III’s interests in two of BRE DDR III’s single purpose entities, each of which owned a retail property subject to a mortgage. The properties received as a result of the transfer and redemption were accounted for as asset acquisitions. Management estimated the aggregate fair value of the net assets received, excluding closing costs, to be $94.2 million. In connection with estimating the fair value of the net assets received, the fair value of each property was estimated, with the aggregate gross fair value of the properties received estimated to be $272.3 million. The valuation technique used to value the properties was a discounted cash flow analysis for each property. The discounted cash flow analyses used to estimate the fair value of properties received involves significant estimates and assumptions, including discount rates, exit capitalization rates and certain market leasing assumptions. Furthermore, the purchase price of the gross property fair value is allocated to the assets and liabilities acquired, comprised of tangible assets, consisting of land, building, and improvements and the intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of above- and below-market leases and in-place leases. As disclosed by management, the Company’s allocation process includes various valuation methods and involves estimates and assumptions considered significant, including discount rates, estimated land values (per square foot), overall capitalization rates and certain market leasing assumptions. The fair value of land of an acquired property considers the value of land as if the site was unimproved based on comparable market transactions. The fair value of the building is determined as if it were vacant by applying an overall capitalization rate to market leasing assumptions. Above- and below- market lease values are calculated based on the present value (using a discount rate that reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between contractual and estimated market rents, F-3 measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above-market leases and the initial term plus the estimated term of any below-market, fixed-rate renewal options for below-market leases. The value of acquired in-place leases is recorded based on the present value of the estimated gross monthly market rental rate for each individual lease multiplied by the estimated period of time it would take to lease the space to a new tenant. The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the valuation and related purchase price allocations of properties acquired in connection with the exchange of preferred interests is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management in estimating the fair value of the properties acquired and related purchase price allocations to tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired, which in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence relating to management’s significant assumptions related to discount rates, exit capitalization rates, and certain market leasing assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the properties received and the discount rates, estimated land values (per square foot), overall capitalization rates and certain market leasing assumptions for the purchase price allocation; and (ii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge. Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the Company’s acquisition process, including controls over the valuation and related purchase price allocations of the properties acquired. These procedures also included, among others, (i) reading the respective transfer and redemption agreements and (ii) testing management’s process for estimating the fair value of the properties acquired and related purchase price allocations to tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired. Testing management’s process included (i) evaluating the appropriateness of the valuation methods, testing the completeness and accuracy of data provided by management, (ii) evaluating the reasonableness of the significant assumptions related to discount rates, exit capitalization rates, and certain market leasing assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the properties received and the discount rates, estimated land values (per square foot), overall capitalization rates and certain market leasing assumptions for certain properties for the purchase price allocation, and (iii) for certain properties, the involvement of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge to assist in evaluating the reasonableness of those significant assumptions. Evaluating the reasonableness of significant assumptions relating to discount rates, exit capitalization rates, and certain market leasing assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the properties received and the discount rates, estimated land values (per square foot), overall capitalization rates, and certain market leasing assumptions for the purchase price allocation involved considering whether the assumptions used were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit and third party market data. Identification of Impairment Indicators for Real Estate Assets As described in Notes 1 and 6 to the consolidated financial statements, the carrying value of the Company’s total net real estate assets was $3,562.3 million and net intangible assets was $33.1 million as of December 31, 2020. Management reviews its individual real estate assets, including undeveloped land and construction in progress, and intangibles for potential impairment indicators whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Impairment indicators are primarily the result of a change in hold period or significant, prolonged decreases in projected cash flows. For assets with impairment indicators, management determines if the undiscounted future cash flows are sufficient to recover the asset’s carrying value. The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the identification of impairment indicators for real estate assets is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management to identify events or changes in circumstances indicating that the carrying F-4 amounts may not be recoverable, which led to a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity and effort in performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence relating to management’s evaluation of impairment indicators. Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the Company’s impairment process, including controls over the identification of events or changes in circumstances that indicate the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. These procedures also included, among others, testing management’s process for identifying individual real estate assets with potential impairment indicators. Testing management’s process included evaluating management’s evaluation of impairment indicators. /s/ PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP Cleveland, Ohio February 25, 2021 We have served as the Company’s auditor since 1992.

F-10 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Nature of Business SITE Centers Corp. and its related consolidated real estate subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “SITE Centers”) and unconsolidated joint ventures are primarily engaged in the business of acquiring, owning, developing, redeveloping, leasing, and managing shopping centers. Unless otherwise provided, references herein to the Company or SITE Centers include SITE Centers Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and consolidated joint ventures. The Company’s tenant base primarily includes national and regional retail chains and local tenants. Consequently, the Company’s credit risk is concentrated in the retail industry. Amounts relating to the number of properties, square footage, tenant and occupancy data, joint ventures’ interests and estimated project costs are unaudited. Retail Value Inc. On July 1, 2018, the Company completed the spin-off of Retail Value Inc. (“RVI”). At the time of the spin-off, RVI owned 48 shopping centers, comprised of 36 continental U.S. assets and all 12 of SITE Centers’ shopping centers in Puerto Rico, representing $2.7 billion of gross book asset value and $1.27 billion of mortgage debt (Note 4). In connection with the spin-off, on July 1, 2018, the Company and RVI entered into a separation and distribution agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, the Company agreed to transfer the properties and certain related assets, liabilities and obligations to RVI and to distribute 100% of the outstanding common shares of RVI to holders of record of SITE Centers’ common shares as of the close of business on June 26, 2018, the record date. On the spin-off date, holders of SITE Centers’ common shares received one common share of RVI for every ten shares of SITE Centers’ common stock held on the record date. In connection with the spin-off, the Company retained 1,000 shares of RVI’s series A preferred stock (the “RVI Preferred Shares”) having an aggregate preference equal to $190 million, which amount may increase by up to an additional $10 million depending on the amount of aggregate gross proceeds generated by RVI asset sales. On July 1, 2018, the Company and RVI also entered into an external management agreement, which, together with various property management agreements, governs the fees, terms and conditions pursuant to which SITE Centers will manage RVI and its properties. Pursuant to these management agreements, the Company provides RVI with day-to-day management, subject to supervision and certain discretionary limits and authorities granted by the RVI Board of Directors. RVI does not have any employees. In general, either the Company or RVI may terminate the management agreements on June 30, 2021, or at the end of any six-month renewal period thereafter. The Company and RVI also entered into a tax matters agreement, which governs the rights and responsibilities of the parties following the spin-off with respect to various tax matters and provides for the allocation of tax-related assets, liabilities and obligations. Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year. The Company considered impacts to its estimates related to COVID-19, as appropriate, within its consolidated financial statements, and there may be changes to those F-11 estimates in future periods. The Company believes that its accounting estimates are appropriate after giving consideration to the increased uncertainties surrounding the severity and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the results of the Company and all entities in which the Company has a controlling interest or has been determined to be the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”). All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in real estate joint ventures in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, but does not have financial or operating control, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, the Company’s share of the earnings (or loss) of these joint ventures is included in consolidated net income (loss). The Company had two unconsolidated joint ventures included in the Company’s joint venture investments that were considered VIEs for which the Company was not the primary beneficiary. In the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company and its joint venture partners negotiated a termination of these joint ventures. The Company’s maximum exposure to losses associated with these VIEs was limited to its aggregate investment, which was $114.0 million as of December 31, 2019. Statements of Cash Flows and Supplemental Disclosure of Non-Cash Investing and Financing Information Non-cash investing and financing activities are summarized as follows (in millions): Consolidation of the net assets (excluding mortgages as disclosed below) of previously unconsolidated joint ventures Joint venture investments related to consolidation of net assets Mortgages assumed, of previously unconsolidated joint ventures Mortgages assumed, shopping center acquisitions Accounts payable related to construction in progress Assumption of buildings due to ground lease terminations Dividends declared, but not paid Contribution of net assets to RVI Write-off of preferred share original issuance costs Land acquired by minority interest partner Conversion of Operating Partnership Units For the Year Ended December 31, 2019 2020 2018 $ 272.6 $ — $ 86.4 196.6 — 6.3 3.0 14.8 — — — — — — 9.1 11.0 — 44.0 — 7.2 — — — — — — 9.3 2.2 45.3 663.4 — 2.3 0.9 Real Estate Real estate assets, which include construction in progress and undeveloped land, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation and amortization is recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows: Buildings Building improvements and fixtures Tenant improvements Useful lives, ranging from 31.5 to 40 years Useful lives, ranging from 3 to 20 years Shorter of economic life or lease terms F-12 The Company periodically assesses the useful lives of its depreciable real estate assets and accounts for any revisions, which are not material for the periods presented, prospectively. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Significant expenditures that improve or extend the life of the asset are capitalized. Construction in Progress and Land includes undeveloped land, as well as construction in progress related to shopping center developments and expansions. The Company capitalized certain direct costs (salaries and related personnel) and incremental internal construction costs of $3.0 million, $3.8 million and $5.7 million in 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Purchase Price Accounting The Company’s acquisitions were accounted for as asset acquisitions, and the Company capitalized the acquisition costs incurred. Upon acquisition of properties, the Company estimates the fair value of acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, building and improvements and intangibles, generally including above- and below-market leases and in-place leases. The Company allocates the purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed on a gross basis based on their relative fair values at the date of acquisition. The fair value of land of an acquired property considers the value of land as if the site was unimproved based on comparable market transactions. The fair value of the building is determined as if it were vacant by applying an overall capitalization rate to market leasing assumptions. Above- and below- market lease values are calculated based on the present value (using a discount rate that reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between contractual rents and estimated market rents, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above-market leases and the initial term plus the estimated term of any below-market, fixed-rate renewal options for below-market leases. The capitalized above- and below-market lease values are amortized to base rental revenue over the related lease term plus fixed-rate renewal options, as appropriate. The value of acquired in-place leases is recorded based on the present value of the estimated gross monthly market rental rate for each individual lease multiplied by the estimated period of time it would take to lease the space to a new tenant. Such amounts are amortized to expense over the remaining initial lease term. Real Estate Impairment Assessment The Company reviews its individual real estate assets, including undeveloped land and construction in progress, and intangibles for potential impairment indicators whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Impairment indicators are primarily related to significant, prolonged decreases in projected cash flows or changes in estimated hold periods, however other impairment indicators could occur. Decreases in cash flows may be caused by declines in occupancy, projected losses on potential future sales, market factors, significant changes in projected development costs or completion dates and sustainability of development projects. An asset with impairment indicators is considered impaired when the undiscounted future cash flows are not sufficient to recover the asset’s carrying value. The determination of anticipated undiscounted cash flows is inherently subjective, requiring significant estimates made by management, and considers the most likely expected course of action at the balance sheet date based on current plans, intended holding periods and available market information. If the Company is evaluating the potential sale of an asset, the undiscounted future cash flows analysis is probability-weighted based upon management’s best estimate of the likelihood of the alternative courses of action as of the balance sheet date. If an asset’s carrying value is not recoverable, an impairment loss is recognized based on the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its fair value. The Company recorded aggregate impairment charges of $5.2 million, $3.4 million and $69.3 million, related to consolidated real estate investments, during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively (Note 14). F-13 Disposition of Real Estate and Real Estate Investments Sales of nonfinancial assets, such as real estate, are recognized when control of the asset transfers to the buyer, which will occur when the buyer has the ability to direct the use of, or obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from, the asset. This generally occurs when the transaction closes and consideration is exchanged for control of the asset. A discontinued operation includes only the disposal of a component of an entity and represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s financial results. The disposition of the Company’s individual properties did not qualify for discontinued operations presentation, and thus, the results of the properties that have been sold remain in income from continuing operations, and any associated gains or losses from the disposition are included in Gain on Disposition of Real Estate. Real Estate Held for Sale The Company generally considers assets to be held for sale when management believes that a sale is probable within a year. This generally occurs when a sales contract is executed with no substantive contingencies and the prospective buyer has significant funds at risk. Assets that are classified as held for sale are recorded at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value, less cost to sell. The Company evaluated its property portfolio and did not identify any properties that would meet the above-mentioned criteria for held for sale as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. Interest and Real Estate Taxes Interest and real estate taxes incurred relating to the construction and redevelopment of shopping centers are capitalized and depreciated over the estimated useful life of the building. This includes interest incurred on funds invested in or advanced to unconsolidated joint ventures with qualifying development activities. The Company will cease the capitalization of these costs when construction activities are substantially completed and the property is available for occupancy by tenants. If the Company suspends substantially all activities related to development of a qualifying asset, the Company will cease capitalization of interest and taxes until activities are resumed. Interest paid during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, aggregated $76.0 million, $79.5 million and $148.4 million, respectively, of which $0.9 million, $1.3 million and $1.1 million, respectively, was capitalized. Investments in and Advances to Joint Ventures and Affiliate To the extent that the Company’s cost basis in an unconsolidated joint venture is different from the basis reflected at the joint venture level, the basis difference is amortized over the life of the related assets and included in the Company’s share of equity in net income (loss) of the joint venture. Periodically, management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of the Company’s investments in unconsolidated joint ventures may be impaired. An investment is impaired only if the Company’s estimate of the fair value of the investment is less than the carrying value of the investment and such difference is deemed to be other than temporary. Investment impairment charges create a basis difference between the Company’s share of accumulated equity as compared to the investment balance of the respective unconsolidated joint venture. The Company allocates the aggregate impairment charge to each of the respective properties owned by the joint venture on a relative fair value basis and amortizes this basis differential as an adjustment to the equity in net income (loss) recorded by the Company over the estimated remaining useful lives of the underlying assets. The RVI Preferred Shares are classified as Investment in and Advances to Affiliate on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The RVI Preferred Shares have a liquidation and dividend preference over the F-14 common stock, but do not have any substantive voting rights, with limited exceptions, or conversion rights and do not have a stated coupon. The RVI Preferred Shares are carried at cost, subject to adjustments in certain circumstances, and will be periodically evaluated for impairment. Dividend payments up to $190 million received by SITE Centers will be recorded as a reduction of the carrying value. Preferred Equity Interests In the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company transferred and redeemed the preferred equity interests in connection with the termination of the BRE DDR Joint Ventures and the acquisition of certain of the underlying assets (Note 3). Prior to the closing of the transactions, the Company evaluated the collectability of both the principal and interest on its investments in the BRE DDR Retail Holdings III (“BRE DDR III”) and BRE DDR Retail Holdings IV (“BRE DDR IV” and, together with BRE DDR III, the “BRE DDR Joint Ventures”) with affiliates of The Blackstone Group L.P. (“Blackstone”) based upon an assessment of the underlying collateral value to determine whether the investments were impaired. As the underlying collateral for the investments was real estate investments, a discounted cash flow valuation technique was used to value the collateral expected to be received in the transfer or redemption of the preferred equity interests. In addition, prior to the agreements with Blackstone, the Company determined the present value of cash flows for the underlying collateral value that was probability-weighted based upon management’s estimate of the repayment timing. The preferred equity interests were considered impaired if the Company’s estimate of the fair value of the underlying collateral was less than the carrying value of the preferred equity interests. In 2020, 2019 and 2018, based upon the results of the impairment assessment, the Company recorded an increase to the aggregate valuation allowance of $19.4 million, $15.5 million and $11.4 million, respectively, related to both of its preferred equity investments to reflect the risk that the securities would not be repaid in full. Interest income on the impaired investments was recognized on a cash basis. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash deposits with major financial institutions, which from time to time may exceed federally insured limits. The Company periodically assesses the financial condition of these institutions and believes that the risk of loss is minimal. Restricted Cash Restricted cash represents amounts on deposit with financial institutions primarily for debt service payments, real estate taxes, capital improvements and operating reserves as required pursuant to the respective loan agreement. For purposes of the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows, changes in restricted cash are aggregated with cash and cash equivalents. Accounts Receivable The Company makes estimates of the collectability of its accounts receivable related to base rents, including straight-line rentals, expense reimbursements and other revenue or income. Upon adoption of Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02—Leases, as amended (“Topic 842”), rental income for the periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, has been reduced for amounts the Company believes are not probable of being collected. The Company analyzes tenant credit worthiness, as well as current economic and tenant-specific sector trends when evaluating the probability of collection of accounts receivable. In evaluating tenant credit worthiness, the Company’s assessment may include a review of payment history, tenant sales performance and financial position. For larger national tenants, the Company also evaluates projected liquidity, as well as the tenant’s access to capital and the overall health of the particular sector. In addition, with respect to tenants in bankruptcy, the Company makes estimates of the expected recovery of F-15 pre-petition and post-petition claims in assessing the probability of collection of the related receivable. The time to resolve these claims may exceed one year. These estimates have a direct impact on the Company’s earnings because once the amount is not considered probable of being collected, earnings are reduced by a corresponding amount until the receivable is collected. Accounts receivable, excluding straight-line rents receivable, do not include estimated amounts not probable of being collected (primarily contract disputes) of $4.7 million and $1.0 million at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Accounts receivable are generally expected to be collected within one year. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, straight-line rents receivable, net of a provision for uncollectible amounts of $2.1 million and $2.8 million, respectively, aggregated $29.3 million and $31.2 million, respectively. Deferred Charges External costs and fees incurred in obtaining indebtedness are included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as a direct deduction from the related debt liability. Debt issuance costs related to the Company’s revolving credit facilities remain classified as an asset on the consolidated balance sheets as these costs are, at the outset, not associated with an outstanding borrowing. The aggregate costs are amortized over the terms of the related debt agreements. Such amortization is reflected in Interest Expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Treasury Shares The Company’s share repurchases are reflected as treasury shares utilizing the cost method of accounting and are presented as a reduction to consolidated shareholders’ equity. Reissuances of the Company’s treasury shares at an amount below cost are recorded as a charge to paid-in capital due to the Company’s cumulative distributions in excess of net income. Revenue Recognition For the real estate industry, leasing transactions are not within the scope of the standard. A majority of the Company’s tenant-related revenue is recognized pursuant to lease agreements and is governed by the leasing guidance. Historically, the majority of the Company’s lease commission revenue was recognized 50% upon lease execution and 50% upon tenant rent commencement. Upon adoption of Topic 606, lease commission revenue is generally recognized in its entirety upon lease execution. Rental Income Rental Income on the consolidated statements of operations includes contractual lease payments that generally consist of the following: • • • Fixed lease payments, which include fixed payments associated with expense reimbursements from tenants for common area maintenance, taxes and insurance from tenants in shopping centers and are recognized on a straight-line basis over the non-cancelable term of the lease, which generally ranges from one month to 30 years, and include the effects of applicable rent steps and abatements. Variable lease payments, which include percentage and overage income, recognized after a tenant’s reported sales have exceeded the applicable sales breakpoint set forth in the applicable lease. Variable lease payments associated with expense reimbursements from tenants for common area maintenance, taxes, insurance and other property operating expenses, based upon the tenant’s lease provisions, which are recognized in the period the related expenses are incurred. F-16 • • Lease termination payments, which are recognized upon the effective termination of a tenant’s lease when the Company has no further obligations under the lease. Ancillary and other property-related rental payments, primarily composed of leasing vacant space to temporary tenants, kiosk income, and parking income, which are recognized in the period earned. For those tenants where the Company is unable to assert that collection of amounts due over the lease term is probable, the Company has categorized these tenants on the cash basis of accounting. As a result, no rental income is recognized from such tenants once they have been placed on the cash basis of accounting until payments are received. Business Interruption Income The Company will record revenue for covered business interruption in the period it determines that it is probable it will be compensated and the applicable contingencies with the insurance company are resolved. This income recognition criteria will likely result in business interruption insurance recoveries being recorded in a period subsequent to the period the Company experiences lost revenue from the damaged properties. Revenues from Contracts with Customers The Company’s revenues from contracts with customers generally relate to asset and property management fees, leasing commission and development fees. These revenues are derived from the Company’s management agreements with RVI and unconsolidated joint ventures and, in the case of unconsolidated joint ventures, are recognized to the extent attributable to the unaffiliated ownership in the unconsolidated joint venture to which it relates. Termination rights under these contracts vary by contract but generally include termination for cause by either party, or generally due to sale of the property. Asset and Property Management Fees Asset and property management services include property maintenance, tenant coordination, accounting and financial services. Asset and property management services represent a series of distinct daily services. Accordingly, the Company satisfies the performance obligation as services are rendered over time. The Company is compensated for property management services through a monthly management fee earned based on a specified percentage of the monthly rental receipts generated from the property under management. The Company is compensated for asset management services through a fee that is billed to the customer monthly and recognized as revenue monthly as the services are rendered, based on a percentage of aggregate asset value or capital contributions for assets under management at the end of the quarter. The asset management fee under the RVI external management agreement is paid monthly based on the initial aggregate appraised value of the RVI properties. RVI property management fees are paid monthly generally based on the average gross revenue collected during the three months immediately preceding the most recent December 31 or June 30. The Company received a supplemental fee from RVI for the period July 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020 to negate the adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on revenue collection during the second quarter of 2020 and the resulting reduction to the property management fee payable to the Company for the second half of 2020. F-17 Property Leasing The Company provides strategic advice and execution to third parties, including RVI and certain joint ventures, in connection with the leasing of retail space. The Company is compensated for services in the form of a commission. The commission is paid upon the occurrence of certain contractual events that may be contingent. For example, a portion of the commission may be paid upon execution of the lease by the tenant, with the remaining paid upon occurrence of another future contingent event (e.g., payment of first month’s rent or tenant move-in). The Company typically satisfies its performance obligation at a point in time when control is transferred, generally, at the time of the first contractual event where there is a present right to payment. The Company looks to history, experience with a customer and deal-specific considerations to support its judgment that the second contingency will be met. Therefore, the Company typically accelerates the recognition of revenue associated with the second contingent event (if any) to the point in time when control of its service is transferred. Development Services Development services consist of construction management oversight services such as hiring general contractors, reviewing plans and specifications, performing inspections, reviewing documentation and accounting services. These services represent a series of distinct services and are recognized over time as services are rendered. The Company is compensated monthly for services based on percentage of aggregate amount spent on the construction during the month. Disposition Fees The Company receives disposition fees equal to 1% of the gross sales price of each RVI asset sold. The Company is compensated at the time of the closing of the sale transaction. Contract Assets Contract assets represent assets for revenue that have been recognized in advance of billing the customer and for which the right to bill is contingent upon something other than the passage of time. This is common for contingent portions of commissions. The portion of payments retained by the customer until the second contingent event is not considered a significant financing component because the right to payment is expected to become unconditional within one year or less. Contract assets are transferred to receivables when the right to payment becomes unconditional. Leases The Company adopted Topic 842, as of January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective approach by applying the transition provisions at the beginning of the period of adoption. The Company elected the following practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the standard: • • • The package of practical expedients which, among other things, allowed the Company to carry forward the historical lease classification; Land easements, allowing the Company to carry forward the accounting treatment for land easements on existing agreements and To not separate lease and non-lease components for all leases and recording the combined component based on its predominant characteristics as rental income or expense. The Company did not adopt the practical expedient to use hindsight in determining the lease term. F-18 The Company made the following accounting policy elections in connection with the adoption: • • • As a lessee — short-term lease exception for the Company’s office leases; As a lessor — to include operating lease liabilities in the asset group and include the associated operating lease payments in the undiscounted cash flows when considering recoverability of a long-lived asset group and As a lessor — to exclude from lease payments taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with lease revenue-producing activity and collected by the lessor from the lessee (e.g., sales tax). ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company’s leases do not include an implicit rate, the Company used its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date of the standard in determining the present value of lease payments. For each lease, the Company utilized a market-based approach to estimate the incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”), which required significant judgment. The Company estimated base IBRs based on an analysis of (i) yields on the Company’s outstanding public debt, as well as comparable companies, (ii) observable mortgage rates and (iii) unlevered property yields and discount rates. The Company applied adjustments to the base IBRs to account for full collateralization and lease term. Operating lease ROU assets also include any lease payments made. The Company has options to extend certain of the ground and office leases; however, these options were not considered as part of the lease term when calculating the lease liability, as they were not reasonably certain to be exercised. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight- line basis over the lease term. General and Administrative Expenses General and administrative expenses include certain internal leasing and legal salaries and related expenses associated with the re-leasing of existing space, which are charged to operations as incurred. Equity-Based Plans Compensation cost relating to stock-based payment transactions classified as equity is recognized in the financial statements based upon the grant date fair value. The forfeiture rate is based on actual expectations. Stock-based compensation cost recognized by the Company was $8.0 million, $9.2 million and $7.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The 2018 amount includes $1.4 million of expense related to the accelerated vesting of awards due to employee separations. This cost is included in General and Administrative Expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Under the anti-dilution provisions of the Company’s equity incentive plan, stock-based compensation was adjusted as of the spin-off of RVI, effective July 1, 2018, as determined by the Company’s compensation committee. The adjustments were made so as to retain the same intrinsic value immediately after the spin-off to that which the award had immediately prior to the spin-off. Certain awards are dual- indexed to both the Company and RVI’s common stock performance and accounted for as liability awards and marked to fair value on a quarterly basis. Income Taxes The Company has made an election to qualify, and believes it is operating so as to qualify, as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, the Company generally will F-19 not be subject to federal income tax, provided that it makes distributions to its shareholders equal to at least the amount of its REIT taxable income as defined under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and continues to satisfy certain other requirements. In connection with the REIT Modernization Act, the Company is permitted to participate in certain activities and still maintain its qualification as a REIT, so long as these activities are conducted in entities that elect to be treated as taxable subsidiaries under the Code. As such, the Company is subject to federal and state income taxes on the income from these activities. In the normal course of business, the Company or one or more of its subsidiaries is subject to examination by federal, state and local tax jurisdictions, as well as certain jurisdictions outside the United States, in which it operates, where applicable. The Company expects to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, as income tax expense. For the three years ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized no material adjustments regarding its tax accounting treatment for uncertain tax provisions. As of December 31, 2020, the tax years that remain subject to examination by the major tax jurisdictions under applicable statutes of limitations are generally the year 2017 and forward. Deferred Tax Assets The Company accounts for income taxes related to its taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in the income statement in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company records net deferred tax assets to the extent it believes it is more likely than not that these assets will be realized. A valuation allowance is recorded against the deferred tax assets when the Company determines that an uncertainty exists regarding their realization, which would increase the provision for income taxes. In making such determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including forecasts of future taxable income, the reversal of other existing temporary differences, available net operating loss carryforwards, tax planning strategies and recent results of operations. Several of these considerations require assumptions and significant judgment about the forecasts of future taxable income and must be consistent with the plans and estimates that the Company is utilizing to manage its business. As a result, to the extent facts and circumstances change, an assessment of the need for a valuation allowance should be made. Segments For the three years ended December 31, 2020, the Company had two reportable operating segments: shopping centers and loan investments. In the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company transferred and redeemed its loan investments (preferred equity interests) in the BRE DDR Joint Ventures in exchange for the acquisition of certain of the underlying assets of two joint ventures (Note 3). As such, beginning in 2021, the Company will have only one reportable operating segment. The Company’s chief operating decision maker may review operational and financial data on a property basis and does not differentiate properties on a geographical basis for purposes of allocating resources or capital. The Company evaluates individual property performance primarily based on net operating income before depreciation, amortization and certain nonrecurring items. Each consolidated shopping center is considered a separate operating segment; however, each shopping center, on a stand-alone basis, represents less than 10% of revenues, profit or loss, and assets of the combined reported operating segment and meets the majority of the aggregations criteria under the applicable standard. F-20 Fair Value Hierarchy The standard Fair Value Measurements specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based upon whether the inputs to those valuation techniques reflect assumptions other market participants would use based upon market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs). The following summarizes the fair value hierarchy: • Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets that are unadjusted and accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities; • Level 2 Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are inactive, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals and • Level 3 Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined 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. New Accounting Standards Adopted Accounting for Credit Losses In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued an amendment on measurement of credit losses on financial assets held by a reporting entity at each reporting date (Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, “Topic 326”). The guidance requires the use of a new current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model in estimating allowances for doubtful accounts with respect to accounts receivable, straight-line rents receivable and notes receivable. The CECL model requires that the Company estimate its lifetime expected credit loss with respect to these receivables and record allowances that, when deducted from the balance of the receivables, represent the estimated net amounts expected to be collected. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and for interim reporting periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19 to clarify that operating lease receivables, including straight-line rent receivables, recorded by lessors are explicitly excluded from the scope of Topic 326. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Accounting for Leases During the COVID-19 Pandemic In April 2020, the FASB issued a question-and-answer document (the “Lease Modification Q&A”) focused on the application of lease accounting guidance to lease concessions provided as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Under existing lease guidance, the Company would have to determine, on a lease by lease basis, if a lease concession was the result of a new arrangement reached with the tenant (treated with the lease modification accounting framework) or if a lease concession was under the enforceable rights and obligations within the existing lease agreement (precluded from applying the lease modification accounting framework). The Lease Modification Q&A clarifies that entities may elect not to evaluate whether lease-related relief that lessors provide to mitigate the economic effects of the COVID-19 F-21 pandemic on lessees is a lease modification under Topic 842, Leases. Instead, an entity that elects not to evaluate whether a concession directly related to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is a modification can then elect whether to apply the modification guidance (i.e., assume the relief was always contemplated by the contract or assume the relief was not contemplated by the contract). Both lessees and lessors may make this election. The Company has elected not to apply lease modification accounting to lease amendments in which the total amount of rent due under the lease is substantially the same and there has been no increase in the lease term. A majority of the Company’s concession amendments within this category provide for the deferral of rental payments to a later date within the remaining lease term. In addition, if abatements are granted as part of a lease amendment, the Company has generally elected to not treat the abatements as variable rent and instead will record the concession’s impact over the tenant’s remaining lease term on a straight-line basis. Modifications to leases that involve an increase in the lease term have been treated as a lease modification. The impact of lease concessions currently granted to tenants as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is discussed in Note 2. 2. Revenue Recognition Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Revenue and Receivables Beginning in March 2020, the retail sector within the continental U.S. has been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Though the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on tenant operations has varied by tenant category, local conditions and applicable government mandates, a significant number of the Company’s tenants have experienced a reduction in sales and foot traffic, and many tenants were forced to limit their operations or close their businesses for a period of time. As of December 31, 2020, all of the Company’s properties remain open and operational with 98% of tenants, at the Company’s share and based on average base rents, open for business (unaudited). This compares to an open rate low of 45% in April 2020 (unaudited). The COVID-19 pandemic had no impact on the Company’s collection of rents for the first quarter of 2020, but it had a significant impact on the collection of rents for April 2020 through December 31, 2020. The Company has engaged in discussions with most of its larger tenants that failed to satisfy all or a portion of their rent obligations during the second, third and fourth quarters of 2020 and has agreed to terms on rent-deferral arrangements (and, in a small number of cases, rent abatements) and other lease modifications with a significant number of such tenants. The Company continues to evaluate its options with respect to tenants with which the Company has not reached satisfactory resolution of unpaid rents and has commenced collection actions against several tenants. The Company had net billed contractual tenant accounts receivable of $24.6 million at December 31, 2020. For those tenants where the Company is unable to assert that collection of amounts due over the lease term is probable, regardless if the Company has entered into a deferral agreement to extend the payment terms, the Company has categorized these tenants on the cash basis of accounting. As a result, no rental income is recognized from such tenants once they have been placed on the cash basis of accounting until payments are received and all existing accounts receivable relating to these tenants have been reserved in full, including straight-line rental income. The Company will remove the cash basis designation and resume recording rental income from such tenants during the period earned at such time it believes collection from the tenants is probable based upon a demonstrated payment history, improved liquidity, the addition of credit worth guarantors or a recapitalization event. During the year ended December 31, 2020, tenants on the cash basis of accounting and other related reserves resulted in a reduction of rental income of $31.9 million (the Company’s share of unconsolidated joint ventures was $4.4 million). These amounts also include reductions in contractual rental payments F-22 due from tenants as compared to pre-modification payments due to the impact of lease modifications, with a partial increase in straight-line rent to offset a portion of the impact on net income. The Company’s share of lease modification adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures was not material. The aggregate amount of uncollectible revenue for the year ended December 31, 2020, primarily was due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. For the real estate industry, leasing transactions fall under Topic 842 (Note 1), which has been adopted at January 1, 2019. Therefore, Fee and Other Income on the consolidated statements of operations was the revenue stream impacted by ASC 606 and includes revenue from contracts with customers and other property-related income, primarily composed of theater income, and is recognized in the period earned. Fee and Other Income is as follows (in thousands): For the Year Ended December 31, 2019 2018 2020 Revenue from contracts: Asset and property management fees Leasing commissions Development fees Disposition fees Credit facility guaranty and refinancing fees Total revenue from contracts with customers Other property income: Other Total fee and other income $ $ 31,255 $ 5,528 1,428 3,142 60 41,413 42,355 $ 6,300 2,019 3,454 1,860 55,988 4,056 45,469 $ 7,694 63,682 $ 31,751 6,380 1,638 2,959 60 42,788 6,989 49,777 The aggregate amount of receivables from contracts with customers was $1.4 million as of both December 31, 2020 and 2019. Contract assets are included in Other Assets, net on the consolidated balance sheets. The significant changes in the leasing commission balances during the year ended December 31, 2020, are as follows (in thousands): Balance as of January 1, 2020 Contract assets recognized Contract assets billed Balance as of December 31, 2020 $ 1,101 1,122 (1,710) 513 $ All revenue from contracts with customers meets the exemption criteria for variable consideration directly allocable to wholly unsatisfied performance obligations or unsatisfied promise within a series, and therefore, the Company does not disclose the value of transaction price allocated to unsatisfied performance obligations. There is no fixed consideration included in the transaction price for any of these revenues. F-23 3. Investments in and Advances to Joint Ventures The Company’s equity method joint ventures are included in Investments in and Advances to Joint Ventures in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. Joint ventures terminated in 2020 are discussed below. The Company’s joint ventures as of December 31, 2020 are as follows: Unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures Partner DDRM Properties Dividend Trust Portfolio JV LP DDR – SAU Retail Fund, LLC Other Joint Venture Interests Madison International Realty Chinese Institutional Investors State of Utah Various Effective Ownership Percentage 20.0% 20.0 20.0 20.0–79.45 Operating Properties 34 10 11 4 Condensed combined financial information of the Company’s unconsolidated joint venture investments is as follows (in thousands): Condensed Combined Balance Sheets Land Buildings Fixtures and tenant improvements Less: Accumulated depreciation Construction in progress and land Real estate, net Cash and restricted cash Receivables, net Other assets, net Mortgage debt Notes and accrued interest payable to the Company Other liabilities Redeemable preferred equity – SITE Centers(A) Accumulated equity Company’s share of accumulated equity Redeemable preferred equity, net(B) Basis differentials Deferred development fees, net of portion related to the Company’s interest Amounts payable to the Company Investments in and Advances to Joint Ventures, net December 31, 2020 2019 $ $ $ $ $ $ 441,412 1,258,879 137,663 1,837,954 (492,288) 1,345,666 58,201 1,403,867 35,212 25,719 61,381 1,526,179 1,029,579 4,375 57,349 1,091,303 — 434,876 1,526,179 72,555 — 1,644 (1,277) 4,375 77,297 $ $ $ $ $ $ 895,427 2,583,053 233,303 3,711,783 (949,879) 2,761,904 58,855 2,820,759 109,260 37,191 147,129 3,114,339 1,640,146 4,975 142,754 1,787,875 217,871 1,108,593 3,114,339 186,247 112,589 (6,864) (2,452) 4,975 294,495 (A) Includes $17.3 million of paid-in-kind (PIK) interest on the Company’s preferred investments in the BRE DDR Joint Ventures that the Company had accrued at December 31, 2019, which was fully reserved.

The Company’s share of the impairment charges was reduced by the impact of the other than temporary impairment charges previously recorded on these investments, as appropriate, as discussed below. The difference between the Company’s share of net income, as reported above, and the amounts included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations is attributable to the amortization of basis differentials, unrecognized preferred PIK, the recognition of deferred gains, differences in gain (loss) on sale of certain assets recognized due to the basis differentials and other than temporary impairment charges. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on revenues and receivables for the Company’s joint ventures is more fully described in Note 2. Revenues earned by the Company related to all of the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures and interest income on its preferred interests in the BRE DDR Joint Ventures are as follows (in millions): Revenue from contracts: Asset and property management fees Development fees, leasing commissions and other Other: Interest income Other For the Year Ended December 31, 2018 2019 2020 $ $ 12.8 $ 4.2 17.0 12.0 2.1 14.1 31.1 $ 19.7 $ 5.2 24.9 16.7 3.2 19.9 44.8 $ 18.8 6.9 25.7 19.0 2.6 21.6 47.3 F-25 The Company’s joint venture agreements generally include provisions whereby each partner has the right to trigger a purchase or sale of its interest in the joint venture or to initiate a purchase or sale of the properties after a certain number of years or if either party is in default of the joint venture agreements. The Company is not obligated to purchase the interests of its outside joint venture partners under these provisions. BRE DDR Joint Ventures The Company’s two unconsolidated joint ventures with Blackstone, namely BRE DDR III and BRE DDR IV, had substantially similar terms. An affiliate of Blackstone was the managing member and effectively owned 95% of the common equity of each of the two BRE DDR Joint Ventures, and consolidated affiliates of SITE Centers effectively owned the remaining 5%, as well as a preferred interest in both joint ventures. The Company provided leasing and property management services to all of the joint venture properties. The Company’s preferred interests were entitled to certain preferential cumulative distributions payable out of operating cash flows and certain capital proceeds pursuant to the terms and conditions of the preferred investments. The preferred investments had an annual distribution rate of 8.5% including any deferred and unpaid preferred distributions. Blackstone had the right to defer up to 2.0% of the 8.5% preferred fixed distributions as a payment in kind (“PIK”) distribution. Blackstone had made this PIK deferral election since the formation of both joint ventures. The preferred interest distributions were recognized as Interest Income within the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and were classified as a note receivable in Investments in and Advances to Joint Ventures on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. As a result of the valuation allowances recorded, as disclosed below, the Company did not recognize as interest income the 2.0% PIK. The unpaid preferred investment (and any accrued distributions) were paid as part of the termination of the joint ventures (see below). Aggregate valuation allowance adjustments related to the preferred interests were recorded of $19.4 million, $15.5 million and $11.4 million, for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Adjustments to the valuation allowance were recorded as Reserve of Preferred Equity Interests on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The Company reassessed the aggregate valuation allowance quarterly based upon actual timing and values of recent property sales, as well as then-current market assumptions. The managing member of the two joint ventures exercised significant influence over the timing of asset sales. As a result, valuation allowances were established to reflect the risk that the securities would not be repaid in full. The valuation techniques used to value the collateral included discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each asset, as well as the income capitalization approach, which considered prevailing market capitalization rates, analysis of recent comparable sales transactions, actual sales negotiations and bona fide purchase offers received from third parties, prior to the transaction consummated with Blackstone. In addition, for the aggregate valuation allowance recorded as of September 30, 2020, the valuation assumed the entire estimated transaction consideration discussed below, as appropriate, given the closings of the transactions were considered probable as of that date. On October 15, 2020, an affiliate of Blackstone transferred its common equity interest in BRE DDR IV to the Company for consideration of $1.00 and the Company’s preferred investment in the BRE DDR IV joint venture was redeemed, thereby leaving the Company as the sole owner of (i) the properties previously owned by BRE DDR IV, including Ashbridge Square, The Hub, Southmont Plaza, Millenia Crossing, Concourse Village and two properties, Echelon Village Plaza and Larkin’s Corner, in which the Company did not previously have a material economic interest, and (ii) $5.4 million in net cash. These seven properties had an estimated gross aggregate fair value of $192.5 million. The Company acquired these seven properties subject to existing mortgage loans which had an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $146.6 million as of October 15, 2020 (Note 5). F-26 On November 20, 2020, the Company transferred its common and preferred equity interests in BRE DDR III to an affiliate of Blackstone in exchange for BRE DDR III’s interests in the single-purpose subsidiaries which owned White Oak Village and Midtowne Park and $4.9 million in net cash. These two properties had an estimated gross aggregate fair value of $79.8 million and are subject to existing mortgage loans, which had an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $50.0 million as of November 20, 2020 (Note 5). In connection with estimating the fair value of the net assets received for both transactions, the fair value of each property was estimated, and the aggregate gross fair value of the properties received was estimated to be $272.3 million. The valuation technique used to value the properties was a discounted cash flow analysis for each property. The discounted cash flow analyses used to estimate the fair value of properties received involves significant estimates and assumptions, including discount rates, exit capitalization rates and certain market leasing assumptions. Disposition of Shopping Centers and Joint Venture Interests In February 2020, the Company sold its 15% interest in the DDRTC Joint Venture to its partner, an affiliate of TIAA-CREF, which resulted in net proceeds to the Company of $140.4 million. The Company recorded a Gain on Sale of Joint Venture Interests of $45.6 million in connection with this sale. In addition, in the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company transferred and redeemed its common and preferred equity interests in the BRE DDR Joint Ventures in exchange for the acquisition of certain of the underlying assets resulting in a Loss on Sale of Joint Venture Interests of $0.2 million. Excluding the DDRTC Joint Venture and the BRE DDR Joint Ventures assets noted above, the Company’s joint ventures sold two, six and 40 shopping centers and land for an aggregate sales price of $27.7 million, $356.3 million and $786.5 million, respectively, of which the Company’s share of the gain on sale was $1.8 million, $4.2 million and $13.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Included in the 2018 shopping center dispositions were three assets sold to the Company by two of its unconsolidated joint ventures for $35.1 million. All transactions with the Company’s equity affiliates are described above. 4. Investment In and Advances to Affiliate In connection with the spin-off of RVI, RVI issued the RVI Preferred Shares to the Company, which are noncumulative and have no mandatory dividend rate. The RVI Preferred Shares rank, with respect to dividend rights, and rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of RVI, senior in preference and priority to RVI’s common shares and any other class or series of RVI’s capital stock. Subject to the requirement that RVI distribute to its common shareholders the minimum amount required to be distributed with respect to any taxable year in order for RVI to maintain its status as a REIT and to avoid U.S. federal income taxes, the RVI Preferred Shares are entitled to a dividend preference for all dividends declared on RVI’s capital stock at any time up to a “preference amount” equal to $190 million in the aggregate, which amount may increase by up to an additional $10 million if the aggregate gross proceeds of RVI’s asset sales subsequent to July 1, 2018, exceed $2.0 billion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the RVI Preferred Shares are entitled to receive dividends only when, as and if declared by RVI’s Board of Directors and RVI’s ability to pay dividends is subject to any restrictions set forth in the terms of its indebtedness. Upon payment to SITE Centers of aggregate dividends on the RVI Preferred Shares equaling the maximum preference amount of $200 million, RVI is required to redeem the RVI Preferred Shares for $1.00 per share. The RVI Preferred Shares are subject to mandatory redemption in certain other circumstances. The RVI Preferred Shares are included in Investment in and Advances to Affiliate in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. F-27 Revenue from contracts with RVI is included in Fee and Other Income on the consolidated statements of operations and was composed of the following (in millions): For the Year Ended December 31, 2019 2018 2020 Revenue from contracts with RVI: Asset and property management fees Leasing commissions Disposition fees Credit facility guaranty and refinancing fees Total revenue from contracts with RVI $ $ 18.4 $ 2.8 3.1 0.1 24.4 $ 21.7 $ 3.1 3.3 1.9 30.0 $ 12.9 1.1 3.0 0.1 17.1 5.

Revolving Credit Facilities The following table discloses certain information regarding the Company’s Revolving Credit Facilities (as defined below) (in millions): Unsecured Credit Facility PNC Facility Carrying Amount at December 31, 2019 2020 $135.0 $ 5.0 — — N/A Weighted-Average Interest Rate(A) at December 31, 2020 1.0% 2019 2.7% N/A Maturity Date at December 31, 2020 January 2024 January 2024 (A) Interest rate on variable-rate debt was calculated using the base rate and spreads effective at December 31, 2020. The Company maintains an unsecured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of financial institutions, arranged by Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., Citizens Bank, N.A., RBC Capital Markets and U.S. Bank National Association (the “Unsecured Credit Facility”). The Unsecured Credit Facility provides for borrowings of up to $950 million if certain financial covenants are maintained and certain borrowing conditions are satisfied, and an accordion feature for expansion of availability up to $1.45 billion, provided that new lenders agree to the existing terms of the facility or existing lenders increase their commitment level, and a maturity date of January 2024, with two six-month options to extend the maturity to January 2025 upon the Company’s request (subject to satisfaction of certain conditions). The Unsecured Credit Facility includes a competitive bid option on periodic interest rates for up to 50% of the facility. The Unsecured Credit Facility also provides for an annual facility fee, which was 20 basis points on the entire facility at December 31, 2020. The Company maintains a $20 million unsecured revolving credit facility with PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC,” the “PNC Facility” and, together with the Unsecured Credit Facility, the “Revolving Credit Facilities”) which includes substantially the same terms as those contained in the Unsecured Credit Facility. Additionally, the Company has provided an unconditional guaranty to PNC with respect to any obligations of RVI outstanding from time to time under a $30 million revolving credit agreement entered into by RVI with PNC. RVI has agreed to reimburse the Company for any amounts paid to PNC pursuant to the guaranty plus interest at a contracted rate and to pay an annual commitment fee to the Company on account of the guaranty. The Company’s borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facilities bear interest at variable rates at the Company’s election, based on either LIBOR plus a specified spread (0.90% at December 31, 2020) or the Alternative Base Rate, as defined in the respective facility, plus a specified spread (0% at December 31, 2020). The specified spreads vary depending on the Company’s long-term senior unsecured debt rating from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., S&P Global Ratings, Fitch Investor Services, Inc. and their successors. The Company is required to comply with certain covenants under the Revolving Credit Facilities relating F-32 to total outstanding indebtedness, secured indebtedness, value of unencumbered real estate assets and fixed charge coverage. The Company was in compliance with these financial covenants at December 31, 2020 and 2019. 9. Unsecured and Secured Indebtedness The following table discloses certain information regarding the Company’s unsecured and secured indebtedness (in millions): Unsecured indebtedness: Senior notes(B) Carrying Value at December 31, 2020 2019 Interest Rate(A) at December 31, 2020 2019 Maturity Date at December 31, 2020 $ 1,460.0 $1,660.0 3.375%–4.700% 3.375%–4.700% May 2023– June 2027 Senior notes – discount, net Net unamortized debt issuance costs Total Senior Notes (4.0) (3.8) (6.4) (8.2) $ 1,449.6 $1,648.0 Term Loan Net unamortized debt issuance costs Total Term Loan $ $ 100.0 $ 100.0 1.1% 2.8% January 2023 (0.4) 99.6 $ (0.5) 99.5 Secured indebtedness: Mortgage indebtedness – Fixed Rate Mortgage indebtedness – Variable Rate Net unamortized debt issuance costs Total Mortgage Indebtedness $ 153.8 $ 95.2 96.5 — (1.0) (0.3) $ 249.3 $ 94.9 4.4% 2.3% 5.7% N/A June 2021– May 2025 January 2021 (A) The interest rates reflected above for the senior notes represent the range of the coupon rate of the notes outstanding. All other interest rates presented are a weighted average of the outstanding debt. Interest rate on variable-rate debt was calculated using the base rate and spreads in effect at December 31, 2020 and 2019. (B) Effective interest rates ranged from 3.5% to 4.8% at December 31, 2020. Senior Notes In 2020, the Company redeemed the entire $200.0 million outstanding aggregate principal amount of its 4.625% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “Senior Notes due 2022”). In connection with the redemption of the Senior Notes due 2022, the Company paid a make-whole amount of $16.6 million. This make-whole amount is included in Other (expense) income, net, in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The Company’s various fixed-rate senior notes have interest coupon rates that averaged 4.1% and 4.2% per annum at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The senior notes may be redeemed prior to maturity based upon a yield maintenance calculation. The fixed-rate senior notes were issued pursuant to indentures that contain certain covenants, including limitations on incurrence of debt, maintenance of unencumbered real estate assets and debt service coverage. The covenants also require that the F-33 cumulative dividends declared or paid from December 31, 1993, through the end of the current period cannot exceed Funds From Operations (as defined in the agreement) plus an additional $20.0 million for the same period unless required to maintain REIT status. Interest is paid semiannually in arrears. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants under the indentures. Term Loan The Company maintains a term loan with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and PNC and KeyBank National Association, as syndication agents (the “Term Loan”). The Term Loan accrues interest at a variable rate based on LIBOR as defined in the loan agreement) or the Alternative Base Rate, as defined in the respective facility, plus a specified spread based on the Company’s long-term senior unsecured debt ratings (1.0% at December 31, 2020). The maturity date is January 2023. The Company may increase the amount of the facility provided that lenders agree to certain terms. The Company is required to comply with covenants similar to those contained in the Revolving Credit Facilities. The Company was in compliance with these financial covenants at December 31, 2020 and 2019. Mortgages Payable Mortgages payable, collateralized by real estate with a net book value of $329.2 million at December 31, 2020, and related tenant leases, are generally due in monthly installments of principal and/ or interest. Fixed contractual interest rates on mortgages payable range from approximately 3.6% to 5.5% per annum. Scheduled Principal Repayments The scheduled principal payments of the Revolving Credit Facilities (Note 8) and unsecured and secured indebtedness, excluding extension options, as of December 31, 2020, are as follows (in thousands): Year 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 Thereafter Unamortized fair market value of assumed debt Net unamortized debt issuance costs Total indebtedness Amount 141,113 35,529 222,996 162,262 530,374 847,674 1,939,948 1,379 (7,819) 1,933,508 $ $ Total gross fees paid by the Company for the Revolving Credit Facilities and term loans in 2020, 2019 and 2018 aggregated $2.6 million, $2.5 million and $2.7 million, respectively. 10. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair value disclosures of financial instruments: Other Fair Value Instruments See discussion of fair value considerations of joint venture investments in Note 14. F-34 Cash and Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities The carrying amounts reported in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets for these financial instruments approximated fair value because of their short-term maturities. Debt The fair market value of senior notes is determined using a pricing model to approximate the trading price of the Company’s public debt. The fair market value for all other debt is estimated using a discounted cash flow technique that incorporates future contractual interest and principal payments and a market interest yield curve with adjustments for duration, optionality and risk profile, including the Company’s non-performance risk and loan to value. The Company’s senior notes and all other debt are classified as Level 2 and Level 3, respectively, in the fair value hierarchy. Considerable judgment is necessary to develop estimated fair values of financial instruments. Accordingly, the estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize on disposition of the financial instruments. Carrying values that are different from estimated fair values are summarized as follows (in thousands): December 31, 2020 Fair Value Carrying Amount December 31, 2019 Fair Value Carrying Amount Senior Notes Revolving Credit Facilities and term loan Mortgage Indebtedness 11. Commitments and Contingencies Hurricane Loss $1,449,613 $1,549,866 $1,647,963 $1,744,581 105,084 96,276 $1,933,508 $2,035,490 $1,847,297 $1,945,941 104,460 94,874 235,000 250,624 234,635 249,260 In 2017, Hurricane Maria made landfall in Puerto Rico. At June 30, 2018, the Company owned 12 assets in Puerto Rico, aggregating 4.4 million square feet of Company-owned gross leasable area (“GLA”). These assets were included in the spin-off of RVI (Note 1) and sustained varying degrees of damage. In connection with the spin-off of RVI in July 2018, insurance proceeds from Hurricane Maria were largely allocated to RVI pursuant to the terms of the agreement governing the separation of the Company and RVI. In 2018, rental revenues of $6.7 million were not recorded because of lost tenant revenue attributable to the hurricane that had been partially defrayed by insurance proceeds. The Company recorded revenue for related covered business interruption in the period it determined that it was probable it would be compensated and the applicable contingencies with the insurance company had been resolved. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded insurance proceeds received as Business Interruption Income on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Legal Matters The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to various legal proceedings, which, taken together, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company is also subject to a variety of legal actions for personal injury or property damage arising in the ordinary course of its business, most of which are covered by insurance. While the resolution of all matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the final outcome of such legal proceedings and claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s liquidity, financial position or results of operations. F-35 Separation Charges The Company recorded separation charges aggregating $1.7 million and $4.6 million in 2020 and 2018, respectively, which are included in General and Administrative Expenses. Commitments and Guaranties In conjunction with the redevelopment of various shopping centers, the Company has entered into commitments with general contractors for the construction or redevelopment of shopping centers aggregating approximately $12.4 million as of December 31, 2020. These contracts typically can be changed or terminated without penalty. At December 31, 2020, the Company had letters of credit outstanding of $13.2 million. The Company has not recorded any obligation associated with these letters of credit. The majority of the letters of credit are collateral for existing indebtedness and other obligations of the Company. 12. Non-Controlling Interests, Common Shares and Common Shares in Treasury and Preferred Shares Non-Controlling Interests The Company had 140,633 OP Units outstanding to one partnership at December 31, 2020 and 2019. These OP Units are exchangeable at the election of the OP Unit holder and, under certain circumstances at the option of the Company, exchangeable into an equivalent number of the Company’s common shares or for the equivalent amount of cash. These OP Units are subject to registration rights agreements covering shares equivalent to the number of OP Units held by the holder if the Company elects to settle in its common shares. The OP Units are classified on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as Non-Controlling Interests. Common Shares In 2019, the Company issued 13.225 million common shares resulting in net proceeds of $194.6 million. The Company’s common shares have a $0.10 per share par value. Common share dividends declared were as follows: For the Year Ended December 31, 2019 2018 2020 Common share dividends declared per share $ 0.25 $ 0.80 $ 1.16 Common Shares in Treasury In 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a $100 million common share repurchase program. In 2020 and 2019, the Company repurchased 0.8 million shares and 1.2 million shares at an aggregate cost of $7.5 million and $14.1 million, respectively. These shares were recorded as Treasury Shares on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Preferred Shares The depositary shares, representing the Class A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares (“Class A Shares”) and the Class K Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares (“Class K Shares”), represent 1/20 of a Class A Share and Class K Share, respectively, and have a liquidation value of $500 per share. The Class K depositary shares are redeemable by the Company. The Class A depositary shares are not redeemable by the Company prior to June 5, 2022, except in certain circumstances relating to the preservation of the Company’s status as a REIT. F-36 The Company’s authorized preferred shares consist of the following: • • • 750,000 of each: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H, Class I, Class J and Class K Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares, without par value 750,000 Non-Cumulative Preferred Shares, without par value 2,000,000 Cumulative Voting Preferred Shares, without par value 13.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, $1.1 million is classified as other expense in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. 14. Impairment Charges and Reserves The Company recorded impairment charges and reserves based on the difference between the carrying value of the assets or investments and the estimated fair market value as follows (in millions): For the Year Ended December 31, 2019 2018 2020 Reserve of preferred equity interests(A) Assets marketed for sale(B) Undeveloped land(B) Assets included in the spin-off of RVI(B) Total impairment charges $ $ 19.4 $ 3.2 2.0 — 24.6 $ 15.5 $ 0.6 2.8 — 18.9 $ 11.4 5.8 0.9 62.6 80.7 (A) (B) As a result of an aggregate valuation allowance on its preferred equity interests in the BRE DDR Joint Ventures recognized prior to the closing of the transactions with Blackstone (Note 3). In 2020 and 2019, impairments recorded were triggered by indicative bids received. In 2018, impairments recorded were triggered by changes in asset hold-period assumptions and/or expected future cash flows in conjunction with the change in its executive management team and strategic direction to increase the volume of asset sales to accelerate progress on its deleveraging goal. F-37 Items Measured at Fair Value The Company is required to assess the fair value of certain impaired consolidated and unconsolidated joint venture investments. The valuation of impaired real estate assets and investments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each asset, as well as the income capitalization approach considering prevailing market capitalization rates, analysis of recent comparable sales transactions, actual sales negotiations and bona fide purchase offers received from third parties and/or consideration of the amount that currently would be required to replace the asset, as adjusted for obsolescence. In general, the Company considers multiple valuation techniques when measuring fair value of an investment. However, in certain circumstances, a single valuation technique may be appropriate. For the valuation of the preferred equity interests, prior to the closing of the transactions with Blackstone (Note 3), the significant assumptions used in the discounted cash flow analysis included the discount rate, projected net operating income, the timing of the expected redemption and the exit capitalization rates. For operational real estate assets, the significant valuation assumptions included the capitalization rate used in the income capitalization valuation, as well as the projected property net operating income and expected hold period. For projects under development or not at stabilization, the significant assumptions included the discount rate, the timing and the estimated costs for the construction completion and project stabilization, projected net operating income and the exit capitalization rate. These valuations were calculated based on market conditions and assumptions made by management at the time the valuation adjustments and impairments were recorded, which may differ materially from actual results if market conditions or the underlying assumptions change. The following table presents information about the Company’s impairment charges and reserves on financial assets, including assets disposed, that were measured on a fair value basis for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018. The table also indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques used by the Company to determine such fair value (in millions).

The Company does not have access to certain unobservable inputs used by these third parties to determine these estimated fair values. 15. Stock-Based Compensation Plans and Employee Benefits Spin-off Adjustments As a result of the spin-off of RVI, all equity awards outstanding on July 1, 2018, were adjusted to obtain an equitable modification and to generally preserve their pre-spin intrinsic value pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions of the stock-based compensation plan under which they were issued. The spin-off adjustments are reflected in the tables below and discussed in Note 1. Stock-Based Compensation The Company’s equity-based award plans provide for grants to Company employees and directors of incentive and non-qualified options to purchase common shares, rights to receive the appreciation in value of common shares, awards of common shares subject to restrictions on transfer, awards of common shares issuable in the future upon satisfaction of certain conditions and rights to purchase common shares and other awards based on common shares. Under the terms of the plans, 2.7 million common shares were available for grant under future awards as of December 31, 2020. F-39 Stock Options Stock options may be granted at per-share prices not less than fair market value at the date of grant and must be exercised within the maximum contractual term of 10 years thereof. The fair values for option awards granted were estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. No option awards have been granted since December 31, 2017. The following table reflects the stock option activity: Number of Options (Thousands) Weighted- Average Exercise Price Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term (Years) Aggregate Intrinsic Value (Thousands) Balance December 31, 2017 Granted Spin-off adjustment Exercised Forfeited Balance December 31, 2018 Granted Exercised Forfeited Balance December 31, 2019 Granted Exercised Forfeited Balance December 31, 2020 Options exercisable at December 31, 2020 2019 2018 588 $ 27.64 — — 139 (19) (262) 9.73 32.26 446 25.71 — — (12) 9.73 (84) 25.04 350 26.42 — — — — 22.20 (27) 323 $ 26.77 323 $ 26.77 26.58 333 25.86 368 4.0 $ 4.0 $ 4.7 4.8 — — — 27 As of December 31, 2020, all stock option compensation cost was recognized. The unvested stock options at December 31, 2019 at a weighted-average grant date fair value of $2.07 were all vested in 2020. The following table summarizes the activity of employee stock option exercises that are primarily settled with newly issued common shares or with treasury shares, if available (in millions): For the Year Ended December 31, 2019 2018 2020 Cash received for exercise price Intrinsic value Restricted Share Units $ — $ — 0.1 $ — 0.2 0.1 The Board of Directors approved grants to officers of the Company of restricted common share units (“RSUs”) of 0.5 million in 2020, 0.3 million in 2019 and 0.3 million in 2018. These grants generally vest in equal annual amounts over a three- to four-year period. RSUs receive cash payments which are equivalent to the cash dividends paid on the Company’s common shares. These grants have a weighted-average fair value at the date of grant ranging from $7.87 to $26.76, which was equal to the market value of the Company’s common shares at the date of grant. As a component of compensation to the Company’s non-employee directors, the Company issued 0.1 million common shares to the non-employee directors for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018. The grant value was equal to the market value of the Company’s common shares at the date of grant and these common shares were fully vested upon grant. F-40 Performance-Based Restricted Share Units (PRSUs) In 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Board of Directors approved grants to the chief executive officer and the former chief operating officer of PRSUs covering a “target” number of shares, subject to three-year performance periods beginning on March 31, 2020, March 1, 2019 and March 1, 2018, and ending on February 28, 2023, February 28, 2022 and February 28, 2021, respectively. In addition, in 2020 the Board of Directors approved grants to the chief financial officer covering a “target” number of shares, subject to one-year, two-year and three-year performance periods beginning on March 1, 2020. In 2017, the Board of Directors approved grants to the chief executive officer and the former chief operating officer of PRSUs covering a “target” number of shares, subject to one-year, two-year and three-year performance periods beginning on March 1, 2017. The payout of the PRSUs will vary based on relative total shareholder return performance measured over the applicable performance period, with the ultimate payout ranging from a level of 0% of target to a maximum level of 200% of target (subject to reduction by one-third in the event that SITE Centers’ absolute total shareholder return during the applicable performance period is negative). For the PRSUs in which the performance period ended in February 2020, February 2019 and February 2018, no shares were granted. In December 2020, in connection with the termination without cause of the chief operating officer, a settlement of the PRSUs granted in 2020, 2019 and 2018 resulted in the issuance of 257,168 common shares. The 2020, 2019 and 2018 grants had a grant date fair value aggregating $4.5 million, $5.6 million and $4.7 million, respectively, to be amortized ratably over the performance period ending three years from the date of grant. The 2020 and 2019 grants are accounted for as equity awards. The 2018 grant is accounted for as a liability award due to the RVI spin-off. The expense recorded has been adjusted for forfeitures. Under the anti-dilution provisions of the Company’s equity incentive plan and the respective PRSU award agreement, the PRSUs issued in 2017 and 2018 were adjusted as of the spin-off of RVI, effective July 1, 2018, as determined by the Company’s compensation committee. The number of PRSUs was adjusted so as to retain the same intrinsic value immediately after the spin-off that the PRSU awards had immediately prior to the spin-off. In particular, upon consummation of the spin-off of RVI, the 2017 and 2018 PRSU awards were adjusted to: (1) retain the original SITE Centers relative total shareholder return (“RTSR”) peer group; (2) retain the SITE Centers beginning share price used for RTSR purposes and (3) measure ending share price as SITE Centers’ ending price plus RVI’s split-adjusted ending price (with any dividends paid during the performance period deemed reinvested into additional SITE Centers shares). Effective at the date of the spin-off, because these awards are dual-indexed to both the Company’s and RVI’s stock performance, the 2017 and 2018 PRSU awards are accounted for as liability awards and marked to fair value on a quarterly basis. In 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded a mark-to-market adjustment of $0.7 million as income and $1.9 million as expense, respectively, in connection with the PRSUs granted primarily in March 2018. The mark-to-market adjustment in 2018 was not material. Summary of Unvested Share Awards The following table reflects the activity for the unvested awards pursuant to all restricted stock grants: Unvested at December 31, 2019 Granted Vested Forfeited Unvested at December 31, 2020 F-41 Awards (Thousands) Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value 637 $ 490 (195) (30) 902 $ 14.86 9.05 16.75 13.25 11.35 As of December 31, 2020, total unrecognized compensation for the restricted awards granted under the plans as summarized above was $10.0 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted- average 1.6-year term, which includes the performance-based and time-based vesting periods. Deferred Compensation Plans The Company maintains a 401(k) defined contribution plan covering substantially all of the officers and employees of the Company in accordance with the provisions of the Code. Also, for certain officers, the Company maintains the Elective Deferred Compensation Plan and Equity Deferred Compensation Plan, both non-qualified plans, which permit the deferral of base salaries, commissions and annual performance-based cash bonuses or receipt of restricted shares. In addition, directors of the Company are permitted to defer all or a portion of their fees pursuant to the Directors’ Deferred Compensation Plan, a non-qualified plan. All of these plans were fully funded at December 31, 2020. 16. Earnings Per Share The following table provides a reconciliation of net income and the number of common shares used in the computations of “basic” earnings per share (“EPS”), which utilizes the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding without regard to dilutive potential common shares, and “diluted” EPS, which includes all such shares (in thousands, except per share amounts).

The following potentially dilutive securities were considered in the calculation of EPS: • For the year ended December 31, 2020, PRSUs issued to certain executives in March 2020, March 2019 and March 2018 were considered in the computation as dilutive EPS. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the PRSUs issued in March 2019 and March 2018 were considered in the computation as dilutive EPS and the PRSUs issued in March 2017 were not considered in the computation of dilutive EPS, as the calculation was anti-dilutive. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the PRSUs issued in March 2017 and March 2018 were not considered in the computation of dilutive EPS, as the calculation was anti-dilutive. F-42 • • Options to purchase 0.3 million, 0.3 million and 0.4 million common shares were outstanding at December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively (Note 15). These outstanding options were not considered in the computation of diluted EPS for the years ended December 2020 and 2019, as the options were anti-dilutive. The exchange into common shares associated with OP Units was not included in the computation of diluted shares outstanding for all periods presented because the effect of assuming conversion was anti-dilutive (Note 12). 17. Income Taxes The Company elected to be treated as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 1993. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that the Company distribute at least 90% of its taxable income to its shareholders. It is management’s current intention to adhere to these requirements and maintain the Company’s REIT status. As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to corporate level federal income tax on taxable income it distributes to its shareholders. As the Company distributed sufficient taxable income for each of the three years ended December 31, 2020, no U.S. federal income or excise taxes were incurred. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to federal income taxes at regular corporate rates and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for the four subsequent taxable years. Even if the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company may be subject to certain foreign, state and local taxes on its income and property and to federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed taxable income. In addition, the Company has a TRS that is subject to federal, state and local income taxes on any taxable income generated from its operational activity. In order to maintain its REIT status, the Company must meet certain income tests to ensure that its gross income consists of passive income and not income from the active conduct of a trade or business. The Company utilizes its TRS to the extent certain fee and other miscellaneous non-real estate-related income cannot be earned by the REIT. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company made a net payment of $0.7 million, $0.7 million and $1.1 million, respectively, related to taxes. In 2015, in accordance with temporary legislation of the Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code, the Company made a voluntary election to prepay taxes related to the built-in gains associated with the real estate assets in Puerto Rico and restructured the ownership of its then 14 assets in Puerto Rico. In 2018, the Company established a valuation allowance of $4.0 million on the then remaining prepaid tax asset triggered by the change in asset hold-period assumptions related to its change in strategic direction for the Puerto Rico properties. In 2018, these assets were assumed by RVI and the associated valuation allowance was written off since this attribute couldn’t be transferred to RVI.
