Messages to Stockholders

![05_SKT_Message_ BERMANB.jpg](skt-20260325_g4.jpg)

Dear Fellow Shareholders:

On behalf of the Board of Directors and the entire leadership team, I cordially invite you to attend Tanger's 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, which will be held virtually beginning at 10:00 am Eastern Time on Friday, May 8, 2026.

At the 2026 Annual Meeting, several changes will occur to the Tanger Board of Directors, as part of our ongoing refreshment initiatives. After 40 years of leadership, former CEO Steven B. Tanger will retire from his role as Non-Executive Chair of the Board and assume the title of Chair Emeritus. Mr. Tanger's impact on the Company has been immeasurable, and we are deeply grateful for his leadership and insight. We look forward to having him continue in this new, advisory role.

At Mr. Tanger's retirement, Luis Ubiñas will become Non-Executive Chair of the Board. My fellow director since 2019, Mr. Ubiñas has become a trusted voice for public and private companies through decades of board and advisory experience, and we look forward to his leadership and contributions as our Chair.

I also will conclude my service as Lead Independent Director at that time, while remaining a member of the Board. It has been my honor to work alongside this innovative and highly qualified team of executives and directors who dedicate their time and talent to the Company's governance. Under the Board's oversight, Tanger continued to generate value for its stakeholders in 2025 by delivering operational outperformance and revenue growth, as well as strengthening its balance sheet – positioning the company for continued performance and long-term growth.

Please review the Proxy Statement and our 2025 Annual Report carefully. They contain important information regarding the company's results, details about the matters to be considered during the Annual Meeting, and instructions on how to vote your shares. The Board unanimously asks for your support on the matters described in this Proxy Statement, so that we can continue to produce positive results and increase long-term shareholder value. Your vote is important to us, and we encourage you to vote as soon as possible.

Thank you for your investment and confidence in Tanger.

Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders

*Forward-Looking Statements*

Certain statements in the Proxy Summary and the Proxy Statement contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and include this statement for purposes of complying with these safe harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements are generally identifiable by use of the words "anticipate," "believe," "can," "continue," "could," "designed," "estimate," "expect," "forecast," "goal," "intend," "may," "might," "plan," "possible," "potential," "predict," "project," "should," "target," "will," "would," and similar expressions that do not report historical matters, and describe or reflect our plans, strategies, beliefs and expectations, including as to future financial results, access to, and costs of, capital, liquidity, cash flows, dividend payments and long-term growth.

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve estimates, projections, forecasts and assumptions, including as to matters that are subject to change or not within our control, and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could materially affect our actual results, performance or achievements. Such risks and uncertainties, include or relate to, without limitation: risks associated with general economic and financial conditions, including inflationary pressures and recessionary fears; newly imposed and potentially additional U.S. tariffs and responsive non-U.S. tariffs; increased capital costs and capital markets volatility; increases in unemployment and reduced consumer confidence and spending; risks related to our ability to develop new retail centers or expand existing retail centers successfully; risks related to the financial performance and market value of our retail centers and the potential for reductions in asset valuations and related impairment charges; our dependence on rental income from real property; the relative illiquidity of real property investments; failure of our acquisitions or dispositions of retail centers to achieve anticipated results; competition for the acquisition and development of retail centers, and our inability to complete the acquisitions of retail centers we may identify; competition for tenants with competing retail centers and our inability to execute leases with tenants on terms consistent with our expectations; the diversification of our tenant mix and our entry into the operation of full price retail may not achieve our expected results; risks associated with environmental regulations; risks associated with possible terrorist activity or other acts or threats of violence and threats to public safety; risks related to international military conflicts, international trade disputes and foreign currency volatility; the fact that certain of our leases include co-tenancy and/or sales-based provisions that may allow a tenant to pay reduced rent and/or terminate a lease prior to its natural expiration; our dependence on the results of operations of our retailers and their bankruptcy, early termination or closing could adversely affect us; the impact of geopolitical conflicts; the immediate and long-term impact of the outbreak of a highly infectious or contagious disease on our tenants and on our business (including the impact of actions taken to contain the outbreak or mitigate its impact); the fact that certain of our properties are subject to ownership interests held by third parties, whose interests may conflict with ours; risks related to climate change; risks related to uninsured losses; the risk that consumer, travel, shopping and spending habits may change; risks associated with our Canadian investments; risks associated with attracting and retaining key personnel; risks associated with debt financing; risks associated with our guarantees of debt for, or other support we may provide to, joint venture properties; the effectiveness of our interest rate hedging arrangements; our potential failure to qualify as a Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT"); our legal obligation to pay dividends to our shareholders; legislative or regulatory actions that could adversely affect our shareholders, our dependence on distributions from Tanger Properties Limited Partnership to meet our financial obligations, including dividends; risks of costs and disruptions from cyber-attacks or acts of cyber-terrorism on our information systems or on third party systems that we use; unanticipated threats to our business from changes in information and other technologies, including artificial intelligence; and the uncertainties of costs to comply with regulatory changes. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements. The forward-looking statements in the Proxy Summary and the Proxy Statement are only predictions. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The events and circumstances reflected in our forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur and actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements.

Please refer to the documents filed by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), including specifically the "Risk Factors" sections of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, and our other filings with the SEC, which identify additional factors that could cause actual results to differ from those contained in forward-looking statements. Except as required by applicable law, we assume no, and expressly disclaim any, obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained herein, whether as a result of any new information, future events, changed circumstances or otherwise.

Performance Highlights

2025 Business Recap

Our differentiated leasing, marketing, and operating platform is an engine for growth, fueling our strong performance in 2025 and positioning the company for continued momentum in the years ahead.

Our 2025 financial results demonstrate our ability to:

**•** Drive organic growth through record leasing activity, positive rent spreads, strong portfolio occupancy, and continued NOI expansion,

**•** Enhance our portfolio as we evolve our centers into shopping, dining, and entertainment destinations that attract new retailers and resonate with our shoppers,

**•** Deepen shopper engagement through targeted, successful marketing campaigns and deployment of technology as part of our strategy to grow sales and traffic, and

**•** Invest for long-term value by acquiring and integrating additional retail centers, reinvesting in our portfolio, activating peripheral land, strengthening our balance sheet, and maintaining flexibility to selectively pursue future growth opportunities.

During 2025, we continued to demonstrate our ability to create value for our shareholders, through dividends totaling $1.1525 per share, which was a 6% increase over the total dividends paid in 2024, and share price appreciation that combined to result in a 110% 3-year total shareholder return ("TSR") and a 313% 5-year TSR, which outpaced retail REITs, the REIT industry and the broad market as shown below. In 2025, we added two new centers to our portfolio, Pinecrest in Cleveland, OH and Legends Outlets in Kansas City, KS. These acquisitions are consistent with our long-term strategy of investing in dominant outlet and open-air retail centers in markets that benefit from outsized residential and tourism growth and that we believe can immediately benefit from the Tanger leasing, marketing and operations platforms.

\*Core FFO, Same Center NOI, Net Debt, Adjusted EBITDA, Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio and interest coverage ratio are non-GAAP (as defined below) financial measures that the Company's management believes to be important supplemental indicators of our operating performance and which are used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, but are not measures computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA (pro forma) incorporates Adjusted EBITDA from properties acquired or opened during 2025, assuming a full year of Adjusted EBITDA for such properties. For a discussion of Core FFO, Same Center NOI, Net Debt and Adjusted EBITDA, including a reconciliation to their most directly comparable GAAP equivalent, please see Appendix A to this Proxy Statement.

Performance Highlights

During 2025, we strengthened our balance sheet to position the Company with the liquidity and flexibility to invest in our growth. In September 2025, we settled all of the outstanding forward shares that were issued under the ATM Program for total gross proceeds of $69.7 million, and, as of December 31, 2025, we had a remaining authorization of $400.0 million under the ATM Program. As of December 31, 2025, our consolidated outstanding debt aggregated approximately $1.6 billion with $44 million of floating rate debt, representing approximately 3% of total consolidated debt and 1% of total enterprise value. Approximately 93% of our total consolidated square footage was unencumbered by mortgages. As of December 31, 2025, our outstanding debt had a weighted average interest rate of 4% and a weighted average term to maturity, including extension options, of approximately 2.7 years. We have no significant debt maturities until September 2026, and we ended 2025 with $54 million of cash and cash equivalents, along with $576 million of capacity available under our $620 million unsecured lines of credit.

In January 2026, the Company completed a series of financing transactions that increased the Company's debt capacity, enhanced liquidity, extended debt duration, lowered pricing, and expanded its bank group. The Operating Partnership closed on $550.0 million of unsecured term loans increasing our total term loan capacity by $225.0 million, including $150 million of the increased capacity under a delayed draw feature, allowing the Company to draw the proceeds over a six-to-nine month period. Also, the Operating Partnership issued $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 2.375% Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2031, which are guaranteed, on a senior unsecured basis, by the Company, and entered into capped call transactions that increased the effective conversion price from approximately $41.55 per share to approximately $47.49 per share, subject to adjustments.

On a pro forma basis for the January 2026 financing transactions, the proceeds of which were used to pay off all outstanding amounts under our unsecured lines of credit, our consolidated outstanding debt aggregated approximately $1.9 billion with no floating rate debt. On a pro forma basis, our outstanding debt had a weighted average interest rate of 3.8% and a weighted average term to maturity, including extension options, of approximately 3.7 years. After considering the net proceeds of the financing transactions, the delay draw feature, and full availability under the unsecured lines of credit, the Company's liquidity increased to over $1.0 billion, further providing the Company with the financial flexibility to support its operational needs, upcoming debt maturities and strategic growth initiatives to drive value for stakeholders.

Performance Highlights

Our Approach to Corporate Responsibility

We believe that supporting strong communities and making conscious decisions about our impact on our planet align with our business strategies to create long-term value for our shareholders, retail partners and employee team members. We integrate programs into our business practices which seek to address the issues most important to our stakeholders. Our Values form the foundation of our approach as we set goals to create positive social and economic impact while reducing our environmental footprint.

A portion of our 2025 short-term incentive plan for our named executive officers was contingent on achieving goals in support of making meaningful progress towards the Company's 2050 Carbon Neutral goal by enhancing our corporate sustainability reporting, increasing the resiliency of our centers and improving accuracy and auditability of our environmental data. We also developed workforce capabilities through professional development and skill-building programs by launching our LinkedIn Learning platform, achieving at least a 75% participation rate in training programs among employees in 2025.

Stakeholder Alignment

Stakeholder assessments and business priorities drives the strategy behind our corporate responsibility programs. We begin by identifying opportunities and risks, leveraging external frameworks and engaging stakeholders, executives and our Board members to help identify key issues impacting our business. These key issues are translated into operational priorities and processes across the Company. In 2025, we partnered with a third party to refresh our materiality assessment in alignment with double materiality to evaluate the impact of environmental, social and governance issues on our financial performance.

In addition to climate-related topics, we incorporated other material risks identified by Tanger's Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) team to ensure alignment between these priorities and enterprise-wide risks.

Following the completion of the Materiality Assessment, these material topics were added to the strategic roadmap advanced by Tanger's Impact Program Working Group, which reviews the progress and alignment of key priority projects quarterly.

We believe that this double materiality assessment provides us with valuable insights that we can use to ensure that our priorities are in alignment with the views and opinions of our stakeholders.

Governance and Reporting

Our management team has formed an executive committee that advises on the Company's approach to corporate responsibility and consists of executives from various functional areas of our Company, including, without limitation, Operations, Finance and People and Culture. This executive committee monitors progress toward achievement of goals and communicates priority issues to senior leadership.

Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of our Board provides oversight of risks related to environmental, social and sustainability matters to ensure such risks are managed appropriately and regularly reviews our programs and practices to ensure alignment with our overall business strategy.

Directors

We believe that the composition of our Board of Directors (the "Board" or the "Board of Directors") is balanced, that it reflects diversity in experience, professional background, gender, ethnicity, areas of expertise and perspectives, and that the range of tenures of our directors creates a synergy between institutional knowledge and new perspectives. As a corporate governance best practice, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee annually considers the composition of our Board and standing Board committees to ensure an appropriate balance and a diversity of perspectives.

Steven B. Tanger, who has served on our Board for 32 years, will not be standing for re-election at the 2026 Annual Meeting and his term as a director of the Company will expire at the conclusion of the 2026 Annual Meeting. The Board expects to appoint Luis A. Ubiñas to succeed Mr. Tanger as Chair of the Board effective following the 2026 Annual Meeting. Our Board approved a reduction in the Board size from nine members to eight members effective at the 2026 Annual Meeting. On the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the Board nominated the eight persons named below for election as directors this year, each to serve for a one-year term or until the director's successor is elected and qualified or, if earlier, until his or her resignation or removal.

In recognition of Mr. Tanger's significant contributions and longstanding service to the Company, the Board designated Mr. Tanger as Chair Emeritus effective immediately upon the adjournment of the 2026 Annual Meeting. During his tenure as Chair Emeritus, Mr. Tanger will be invited to attend regularly scheduled Board meetings in an advisory role, provided that his attendance at regularly scheduled Board meetings shall not constitute service as a director for any legal, governance or other purpose. As Chair Emeritus, Mr. Tanger will provide strategic counsel and support to the Board and management, ensuring that our stockholders continue to benefit from his breadth of industry knowledge and extensive experience in all aspects of the Company's business. Committee composition and chair appointments will be reviewed at the Company's next regularly scheduled Board meeting, as is the Company's annual practice.

Proxy Summary

2025 Compensation

The Company's primary components of compensation for its executive officers are base salary, annual incentive cash bonuses, and annual long-term equity-based incentive compensation subject to time-based or performance-based vesting conditions. There is no pre-established policy or target for the allocation between cash and non-cash incentive compensation or between short-term and long-term compensation, although the Company attempts to keep total cash compensation within the Company's fiscal year budget while reinforcing its pay-for-performance philosophy and also considering annual accounting cost and the impact of share dilution. Within the framework of aligning total compensation with corporate and individual performance, the purpose of each of the primary components of compensation is as follows:

---

Our By-Laws provide that directors be elected at each annual meeting of our shareholders. Pursuant to our By-Laws, the Board has reduced the size of the Board from nine to eight directors effective at the Annual Meeting. The Board has nominated eight director candidates for election to the Board at the Annual Meeting. Each of the eight nominees for director designated below is presently a director of the Company. It is expected that each of these nominees will be able to serve, but if any such nominee is unable to serve, or for good cause will not serve, the proxies reserve discretion to vote for a substitute nominee or nominees designated by the Board, or the Board may elect to reduce its size. The terms of all of our directors expire at the next annual meeting of our shareholders or when their successors are elected and qualified.

Director Resignation Policy

Our By-Laws provide that in uncontested elections, nominees will be elected if votes cast for each nominee's election exceed the votes cast against such nominee's election, provided that a quorum is present. Pursuant to our director resignation policy, the Board will nominate for re-election as directors only candidates who agree to tender their irrevocable resignation at or prior to their nomination. In addition, the Board will fill director vacancies and new directorships only with candidates who agree to tender, promptly following their appointment to the Board, the same form of resignation tendered by other directors in accordance with the director resignation policy. The resignations will only become effective upon the occurrence of both the failure to receive the required majority vote for election and Board acceptance of the resignations. If a director nominee does not receive the required vote, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee or another committee consisting solely of independent directors (excluding the director nominee in question) will consider and make a recommendation to the Board as to whether to accept or reject the director nominee's previously tendered resignation. The Board (excluding the director nominee in question) will make a final determination as to whether to accept or reject the director nominee's resignation within 90 days following the certification of the shareholder vote. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board may consider any factors they deem relevant in deciding whether to accept a director's resignation. The Company will then promptly disclose the Board's decision in a document furnished or filed with the SEC.

Board Diversity and Refreshment

The Board seeks a mix of backgrounds and experience among its members. We believe that decision-making is improved when various perspectives contribute to the discussion. In evaluating director candidates, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee uses its judgment to identify nominees whose viewpoints, backgrounds, experience, gender, race, ethnicity and other attributes, taken as a whole, contribute to the high standards of Board service at the Company. The Board is committed to a diverse membership, in terms of both the individuals involved and their various experiences, skills, backgrounds and areas of expertise. When searching for potential new candidates for Board membership, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will endeavor to include candidates who reflect diverse backgrounds in the pool from which nominees are chosen. The diversity of backgrounds, skills, experience, viewpoints and leadership in different fields among our Board members reflects our commitment to ensuring a broad range of ideas are contributed to Board discussions, and the range of tenures of our directors creates a synergy between institutional knowledge and new perspectives. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee assesses its performance as to all aspects of the selection and nomination process for directors, including the diversity of backgrounds, skills, experience and viewpoints, as part of its annual self-evaluation process.

In accordance with the Company's Corporate Governance Guidelines, a director who has reached age 75 must annually submit an offer to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee not to stand for re-election at the next annual meeting following the director's 75th birthday and to retire at the conclusion of that meeting. The Committee reviews the matter and recommends to the Board whether to accept the proposed retirement or request continued service, subject to the director's consent. Mr. Tanger, who serves as Non-Executive Chair of the Board and a member of the Board, will not stand for re-election at the upcoming Annual Meeting and his term as a director of the Company will expire at the conclusion of the 2026 Annual Meeting. Following the 2026 Annual Meeting, Mr. Ubiñas is expected to be appointed Non-Executive Chair of the Board.

Proposal 1 Election of Directors

In recognition of Mr. Tanger's significant contributions and longstanding service to the Company, he will be appointed to the position of Chair Emeritus, effective immediately upon the adjournment of the 2026 Annual Meeting. During his tenure as Chair Emeritus, Mr. Tanger will be invited to attend regularly scheduled Board meetings as an advisor in a non-voting capacity, provided that his attendance at regularly scheduled Board meetings shall not constitute service as a director for any legal, governance or other purpose. As Chair Emeritus, Mr. Tanger will continue to provide strategic counsel and support to the Board and management, ensuring that our stockholders continue to benefit from his breadth of industry knowledge and extensive experience in all aspects of the Company's business.

At the May 9, 2025 Board meeting, Susan E. Skerritt was reelected to serve as Audit Committee Chair, Tom Reddin was reelected to serve on the Compensation and Human Capital Committee Chair, and Luis A. Ubiñas was reelected to serve as Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Chair.

Nominee Qualifications

The biographical description below for each nominee includes the specific experience, qualifications, attributes and skills that led to the conclusion by the Board that such person should serve as a director of the Company. Each of our director nominees has achieved an extremely high level of success in his or her career. In these positions, each has been directly involved in the challenges relating to setting the strategic direction of or managing and overseeing the financial performance, personnel and processes of complex, public and private companies. Each has had exposure to effective leaders, and as a result, we believe has developed the ability to judge leadership qualities. Each also has experience in serving as an executive or on the board of directors of at least one other major corporation, which we believe provides additional relevant experience on which each nominee can draw.

Proposal 1 Election of Directors

Director Independence

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines and the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") require that a majority of our directors be "independent" and that every member of the Board's Audit Committee, Compensation and Human Capital Committee, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee be "independent," in each case as such term is defined by the NYSE listing requirements. Generally, independent directors are those directors who are not concurrently serving as officers of the Company and who have no material relationship with us. We presently have nine directors, including seven independent directors. Our Board has affirmatively determined that the following seven current directors are "independent," as that term is defined under the listing standards of the NYSE: Jeffrey B. Citrin, Sandeep L. Mathrani, Thomas J. Reddin, Bridget M. Ryan-Berman, Susan E. Skerritt, Sonia Syngal and Luis A. Ubiñas. Steven B. Tanger served as an executive officer of the Company until December 31, 2023, and Stephen Yalof is our President and CEO, and therefore, are not independent.

In determining the independence of our directors, the Board took into account that Ms. Ryan-Berman serves as the Chair of the Board of Newell Brands Inc., which owns a portfolio of brands, including one of our tenants. Additionally, Mr. Mathrani serves on the board of directors of Dick's Sporting Goods, Inc., one of our tenants. The Board considered the nature of these relationships, the dollar value of the annual rental payments received from the respective tenant, and determined that the relationship does not impair Ms. Ryan-Berman's or Mr. Mathrani's independence.

Board Leadership Structure

Pursuant to our By-Laws and our Corporate Governance Guidelines, our Board determines the appropriate board leadership structure for our Company from time to time. We recognize that different board leadership structures may be appropriate for companies in different situations and so as part of our annual Board self-evaluation process, we evaluate our leadership structure to ensure that the Board continues to believe that it provides the optimal structure for our Company and shareholders.

We do not have a policy on whether the same person should serve as both the Chief Executive Officer and Chair of the Board or, if the roles are separate, whether the Chair should be selected from the non-management directors. We believe that our Board should have the flexibility to make these determinations in the way that best provides appropriate leadership for our Company. Pursuant to our Corporate Governance Guidelines, if the Chair of the Board is a member of management or does not otherwise qualify as independent under NYSE rules, the independent directors may elect a Lead Independent Director, who shall qualify as independent under NYSE rules.

We presently operate with a Non-Executive Chair, a Chief Executive Officer and a Lead Independent Director. Mr. Tanger became our Non-Executive Chair on January 1, 2024, after having served as our Executive Chair since January 1, 2021 and prior to that as a director since May 1993. Mr. Yalof, our President and CEO, was appointed to the Board effective July 20, 2020 and became CEO on January 1, 2021. Ms. Bridget M. Ryan-Berman was appointed Lead Independent Director effective July 1, 2023.

Mr. Tanger will not be standing for re-election at this Annual Meeting and his term as a director of the Company will expire at the conclusion of the Annual Meeting. Mr. Tanger will continue to serve as a director and in his role as the Non-Executive Chair of the Board until the Annual Meeting. Following the expiration of Mr. Tanger's term as a director upon the adjournment of the Annual Meeting, the Board expects to appoint Mr. Ubiñas to succeed Mr. Tanger as Non-Executive Chair of the Board. Our Board has affirmatively determined that Mr. Ubiñas is "independent," as that term is defined under the listing standards of the NYSE. As such, the Board does not intend to appoint a separate Lead Independent Director following Mr. Ubiñas's appointment as Non-Executive Chair of the Board.

We believe our current and future leadership structure is the optimal structure for us at this time, providing both strong oversight and operational insight. We believe the benefits of the arrangement include the following:

**•** Affords consistent and stable leadership in the board room, with our Chair facilitating board room discussion and presiding over Board meetings.

**•** Establishes clear leadership roles, with our Chair assuming principal responsibility for the functioning of our Board while our CEO assumes principal responsibility for the day-to-day operations of the Company.

**•** Provides valuable independent oversight of management from our Lead independent Director if our Chair does not meet our independence requirements.

**•** Creates an environment in which our President and CEO, Mr. Yalof, can effectively lead and engage our employees and work productively to create and execute the Company's strategic vision.

**•** Ensures effective communication between the independent directors, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chair.

Finally, the Board, when appropriate, receives reports directly from officers and senior management responsible for oversight of particular risks within the Company. |

Cybersecurity Risk Management Oversight

**Executive Management:** We recognize the critical importance of robust cybersecurity practices to safeguard the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of Company data and systems. Our executive management team is regularly informed of aspects related to cybersecurity risks and incidents. Additionally, we strategically integrated cybersecurity risk management into our broader ERM framework as well as continue to promote a company-wide culture of cybersecurity risk management. We believe that this integration ensures that cybersecurity considerations are an integral part of our decision-making processes at every level.

**Technology Department:** Our technology organization is responsible for the ongoing identification, assessment, and management of material risks arising from cybersecurity threats. This includes risks associated with our critical computer networks, hardware, software, communication services and third-party applications and services. Our team also manages critical data, including intellectual property, proprietary and confidential business information, and tenant and customer data in alignment with our business objectives and operational needs.

**The Board & Audit Committee:** The Board maintains oversight of risks associated with cybersecurity threats and has delegated primary responsibility for this oversight to the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee provides oversight to management's processes for identifying and mitigating risks, including cybersecurity risks such as network security, information and digital security, data privacy and protection, and emerging technology risks such as generative artificial intelligence. This oversight helps align the Company's risk exposure with its strategic objectives.

The Audit Committee engages in regular discussions with management regarding significant risk exposures and the Company's controls, policies, and monitoring activities related to these risks. These discussions include the Company's risk assessments and risk management policies.

Assessing, identifying and managing cybersecurity related risks are integrated into our overall ERM process. Cybersecurity related risks are included in the population that the ERM function evaluates to assess the top risks to the enterprise on a quarterly basis. When the ERM process identifies a heightened cybersecurity related risk, management develops risk mitigation plans to address the risk. The ERM annual risk assessment is presented to the Audit Committee.

**Senior Vice President of Technology:** The Senior Vice President of Technology ("SVP, Technology") is continually informed about the latest developments in cybersecurity, including potential threats and innovative risk management techniques. This ongoing knowledge acquisition is crucial for the effective prevention, detection, mitigation, and remediation of cybersecurity incidents. The SVP, Technology implements and oversees processes for the regular monitoring of our information systems. This includes the deployment of advanced security measures and regular system audits to identify potential vulnerabilities. In the event of a cybersecurity incident, we believe we have a well-defined incident response plan governing our assessment, response and notifications internally and externally upon the occurrence of a cybersecurity incident.

Depending on the nature and severity of an incident, this process provides for evaluation by an executive management group to determine if the incident is material to us by evaluating the impact on our financial condition, reputation and potential litigation risk and regulatory impact. The management group is comprised of the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operating Officer, General Counsel, Chief Accounting Officer and the SVP Technology to determine if escalation is necessary by the Chief Executive Officer to the Board (specifically our Non-Executive Chair and the Audit Committee Chair).

The Audit Committee holds quarterly meetings, and the SVP Technology provides periodic reports, on at least a quarterly basis, to the Audit Committee. The SVP Technology regularly informs our executive management group of all aspects related to cybersecurity risks and incidents. This ensures that the highest levels of management are kept abreast of the cybersecurity environment and potential risks facing us. Furthermore, significant cybersecurity matters, and strategic risk management decisions are escalated to the Audit Committee, ensuring that they have comprehensive oversight and can provide guidance on critical cybersecurity issues.

For a further description of the cybersecurity risk management policies and practices of the Board and management, see Item 1C of the Form 10-K included in the Company's Annual Report.

Each of the incumbent directors in office during 2025 attended 100% of the Board meetings and meetings of committees on which the director served, during the period in which such person served as a director. We do not have a formal policy of attendance for directors at our annual meeting of shareholders. All of our incumbent directors who were serving at the time of the 2025 annual meeting of shareholders attended the meeting.

Pursuant to our Corporate Governance Guidelines, non-management directors are required to meet in executive sessions following each regularly scheduled quarterly Board meeting. The Lead Independent Director of the Board presides at all executive sessions at which he or she is in attendance. In addition, to the extent applicable, non-management directors who are not independent under the rules of the NYSE may participate in these executive sessions, but our independent directors meet in executive session at least once per year.

Anti-Hedging Policy

The Company has established an anti-hedging policy that prohibits our executive officers, directors and employees, their family members and any entities they control, from purchasing financial instruments, such as prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, and exchange funds, or otherwise engaging in transactions that hedge or offset, or are designed to hedge or offset, any decrease in the market value of the Company's equity securities, whether such securities were granted as compensation or are otherwise held, directly or indirectly. These transactions allow the shareholder to continue to own the covered securities, but without the full risks and rewards of ownership. When that occurs, the owner may no longer have the same objectives as the company's other shareholders. Therefore, executive officers, directors and employees may not engage in any such transactions with respect to the Common Shares they own.

Committees of the Board

The Board has three standing committees to facilitate and assist the Board in the execution of its responsibilities. The current committees are the Audit Committee, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee, and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. In accordance with NYSE listing standards, all of the committees are comprised solely of independent directors. Charters for each of the Audit, Compensation and Human Capital, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees are available on the Company's investor relations website at **investors.tanger.inc** by first clicking on "FOR INVESTORS," then "OUR GOVERNANCE" and then "GOVERNANCE DOCUMENTS."

The table below shows the current membership for each of the standing committees.

In identifying qualified director candidates for election to the Board and to fill vacancies on the Board, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee solicits current directors for the names of potentially qualified candidates, may ask directors to pursue their own business contacts for the names of potentially qualified candidates and may engage a third party search firm to identify names of potentially qualified candidates.

The Board values directors who will bring a sufficient range of different perspectives to bear, generate appropriate discussion and debate, and fulfill their oversight responsibilities to foster significant value creation for our shareholders. The Board considers director candidates based on a number of factors including: whether the Board member will be "independent" in accordance with NYSE listing requirements; personal integrity and other qualities and characteristics, accomplishments and reputation in the business community; experience with businesses and other organizations of comparable size and current knowledge and contacts in the Company's industry or other industries relevant to the Company's business; experience and understanding of the Company's business and financial matters affecting its business; ability and willingness to commit adequate time to Board and committee matters; the fit of the individual's skills and personality with those of other directors and potential directors in building a Board that is effective and responsive to the needs of the Company; and diversity of viewpoints, background, experience, gender, race, ethnicity and other attributes. It is the policy of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to consider nominees for the Board recommended by the Company's shareholders in accordance with the procedures described under "Other Matters- Shareholder Proposals and Nominations for the 2027 Annual Meeting of Shareholders-Shareholder Suggestions for Director Nominations" in this Proxy Statement. Shareholder nominees who are recommended in accordance with these procedures will be given the same consideration as nominees for director from other sources.

In this role, he will be invited to attend Board meetings as a non-voting advisor and will receive a cash retainer of $30,000 for his advisory services through the date of the 2027 Annual Meeting.

Following the date of the 2026 Annual Meeting, our Non-Executive Chair will be independent and we will cease to have a Lead Independent Director. In recognition of the Non-Executive Chair's assumptions of the responsibilities of the Lead Independent Director and the Non-Executive Chair, the annual cash retainer for the Non-Executive Chair will be increased to $100,000.

There are no other changes to our non-employee director compensation planned for 2026.

Proposal 1 Election of Directors

Equity Compensation

We may from time to time grant to any non-employee director options, restricted or deferred shares, long-term incentive plan ("LTIP") units of the Operating Partnership, or other awards upon approval of the entire Board. The Board selects the non-employee directors to whom equity-based awards under the Incentive Award Plan will be granted and establishes the terms and conditions of the awards based on recommendations and advice from the Compensation and Human Capital Committee. However, as set forth in the Incentive Award Plan, a non-employee director may not receive awards under the Incentive Award Plan with an aggregate value in excess of $500,000 during any fiscal year.

Beginning in 2025, the Board modified the annual non-employee director compensation program to permit each

non-employee director to elect to receive his or her annual equity award in either time-based restricted Common Shares or an equal number of time-based LTIP units of Tanger Properties Limited Partnership with identical vesting terms. LTIP Units are intended to qualify as "profits interests" for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Each LTIP unit, if and upon vesting, is convertible, upon the satisfaction of minimum allocations to the capital account of the LTIP unit for federal income tax purposes, into a non-voting Class C common unit of the Operating Partnership. Each such Class C common unit may be exchanged by the director for one common share of the Company.

The Board approved awards of restricted Common Shares or LTIP units to each non-employee director with a grant date fair value of approximately $175,000 for 2025. The non-employee directors' restricted common shares and LTIP units issued during 2025 vested on February 15, 2026, the first anniversary of the date of grant (or, in the case of Mr. Henry, upon his retirement from the Board at the 2025 Annual Meeting).

In addition, the Director Deferred Share Program of Tanger Inc. and Tanger Properties Limited Partnership (the "Director Deferred Share Program") allows non-employee directors to elect to receive all or a portion of their cash and/or equity compensation in deferred shares. In the event a non-employee director elects to defer compensation, such compensation (along with any dividends earned with respect to such compensation) will be credited to a bookkeeping account and paid in Common Shares within 60 days following the payment date elected by such director. Such payment date will be one of the following dates: (1) the date of termination of directorship, (2) a specified annual anniversary of the date of termination of directorship, (3) a specified date that is after December 31 of the applicable service year, or (4) the earlier of the date of death or disability. Any deferred shares shall be subject to the same vesting conditions applicable to the restricted Common Shares that would have been granted absent a deferral election. In 2025, two non-employee directors participated in the Director Deferred Share Program, as described in the footnotes to the Director Compensation Table below.

Minimum Equity Ownership Guidelines

The Board expects all non-employee directors to own a meaningful equity interest in the Company to more closely align the interests of directors with those of shareholders. Our equity ownership guidelines require non-employee directors to hold Common Shares with a value equal to five times the base annual board retainer of $70,000 within five years of joining the Board. All non-employee directors who have been board members for at least 5 years met the share ownership guidelines as of December 31, 2025.

Executive Compensation

|:---|:---|
| **1** | Executive Summary |

---

The Compensation and Human Capital Committee strongly believes that our executive compensation program represents a thoughtful, balanced program with a pay-for-performance structure that focuses on Company performance and reflects the feedback of our shareholders. Our executive compensation program is designed to motivate, attract and retain highly-qualified executives with this unique and proven skill set and to align the CEO and other NEOs' interests with those of our shareholders. In years that our shareholder value has increased, aggregate compensation for our CEO and other NEOs has generally increased. Conversely, in years that we have underperformed, aggregate compensation for our CEO and other NEOs has generally declined. We believe that such alignment is strongly evidenced by the 2025 compensation and the current outstanding equity awards held by our NEOs.

Our goal is to build shareholder value through a comprehensive, disciplined plan for sustained, long-term growth. We focus our efforts on increasing net operating income at our existing centers, renovating and optimizing selected centers and pursuing disciplined external growth in our current markets and potential new markets through selective ground-up development or the acquisition of retail real estate. Future retail real estate assets may be wholly-owned by us, owned through joint ventures or partnership arrangements, or through management agreements.

Shareholder Engagement and Listening to Our Shareholders

We have historically taken into consideration the results of our advisory votes on the Company's executive compensation program and NEO compensation decisions, and since 2014, we have proactively engaged in ongoing shareholder outreach in order to hear feedback about our executive compensation program directly from shareholders. We annually conduct outreach efforts to understand and address potential shareholder concerns.

In addition to our shareholder engagement from our Board, management maintains active dialogue with the financial community and during 2025, we continued our efforts to engage with the investment community and other key stakeholders through frequent discussions, meetings and property tours.

As part of these efforts, we were honored to be recognized by Nareit for the second year in a row with the 2025 Nareit Investor CARE (Communications and Reporting Excellence) Gold Award in the Small Cap Equity REIT category. This annual awards program recognizes Nareit's listed corporate members that interact most effectively with their investors online, in writing and orally, and that provide investors with the most comprehensive, clearly articulated and useful information in the most efficient manner. An independent panel of judges selected Tanger as the 2025 Gold recipient, the highest level awarded in the program, based on the company's online presence, SEC filings, and investor relations practices.

Our shareholders approved the 2025 advisory executive compensation say-on-pay vote at a rate of 97.8% of votes cast. We believe that the overwhelming support of our shareholders, as shown in the adjacent graphic, indicates that our shareholders are highly supportive of our approach to executive compensation.

Executive Compensation

Compensation Highlights

Pay-for-Performance Alignment

The Compensation and Human Capital Committee believes that an executive compensation program that strongly links both the short-term and long-term performance of the Company and the compensation of our executive officers is a key driver of our long-term financial success. We have designed an effective pay-for-performance program whereby a significant portion of each executive officer's compensation is tied to performance-based cash and equity awards. Thus, in periods where we have superior performance in our operating results and TSR, our executive officers generally will realize higher levels of compensation. Likewise, in periods of poor performance, our executive officers generally will realize significantly lower levels of compensation.

Annual compensation data shown in the Summary Compensation Table on page [62](#ib1e10f04db7740229a957c07447ff0d9_91) is presented in accordance with the SEC's requirements. This mandated format is based on accounting rules that reflect the grant date fair value of awards at the time of grant, which can differ significantly from the value that is ultimately earned from these awards. Therefore, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee believes that utilizing realized compensation in its evaluation of CEO pay is an appropriate additional consideration to accurately measure the alignment of CEO pay-for-performance.

Executive Compensation

TSR-Based Performance Award Status

Our CEO and other NEOs participate in multi-year award programs that are based exclusively on 33% of the Company's three-year absolute TSR and 67% of relative TSR to directly align our executives' compensation to shareholder returns. For relative TSR, we measure our TSR against the TSR of companies in the FTSE NAREIT Retail Index, which allows for a meaningful comparison of our performance relative to the performance of other companies in our industry. The chart below depicts each current Performance Share Plan ("PSP") on a program-by-program basis and the achievement or projected achievement based on the Company's absolute and relative TSR performance as of December 31, 2025. The performance period for the 2022 PSP ended in February 2025. The absolute and relative portions of the 2022 award had a maximum payout.

Significant At-Risk Compensation

A substantial portion of our CEO's and other NEOs' pay is tied to company performance and is at risk. Approximately 35% of our CEO's performance year 2025 compensation was paid in cash, and approximately 86% was variable, subject to the Company's performance. Across our remaining NEOs, the average 2025 performance year amount paid in cash was approximately 44% and approximately 78% was variable, subject to the Company's performance.

2025 Business Recap

Our differentiated leasing, marketing, and operating platform is an engine for growth, fueling our strong performance in 2025 and positioning the company for continued momentum in the years ahead.

Our 2025 financial results demonstrate our ability to:

**•** Drive organic growth through record leasing activity, positive rent spreads, strong portfolio occupancy, and continued NOI expansion,

**•** Enhance our portfolio as we evolve our centers into shopping, dining, and entertainment destinations that attract new retailers and resonate with our shoppers,

**•** Deepen shopper engagement through targeted, successful marketing campaigns and technology as part of our strategy to grow sales and traffic, and

**•** Invest for long-term value by acquiring and integrating additional retail centers, reinvesting in portfolio, activating peripheral land, strengthening our balance sheet, and maintaining flexibility to selectively pursue future growth opportunities.

During 2025, we continued to demonstrate our ability to create value for our shareholders, through dividends totaling $1.1525 per share, which was a 6% increase over the total dividends paid in 2024, and share price appreciation that combined to result in a 110% 3-year total shareholder return ("TSR") and a 313% 5-year TSR, which outpaced retail REITs, the REIT industry and the broad market as shown below. In 2025, we added two new centers to our portfolio, Pinecrest in Cleveland, OH and Legends Outlets in Kansas City, KS. These acquisitions are consistent with our long-term strategy of investing in dominant outlet and open-air retail centers in markets that benefit from outsized residential and tourism growth and that we believe can immediately benefit from the Tanger leasing, marketing and operations platforms.

The objectives of the Company's compensation program are as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Motivate, attract and retain highly qualified executive management employees who are enthusiastic about the Company's mission, performance, and culture. | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Create a fair, reasonable and balanced compensation program that rewards management's performance and contribution to the Company while closely aligning the interests of management with those of shareholders. | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Provide total compensation to executive officers that is competitive with total compensation paid by other REITs, and other private real estate firms similar to the Company. |

---

Compensation Program Rewards

The Company's compensation program rewards teamwork and individual executive officer contributions to the Company's annual and longer-term goals. Annual cash performance-based incentives reward executive officers based on Company financial performance. While the individual amounts of incentive compensation paid may vary among executive officers, the performance targets that are set are generally the same for all executive officers. This creates an environment where all executive officers work together to achieve a common goal. See "[202](#ib1e10f04db7740229a957c07447ff0d9_82)[5](#ib1e10f04db7740229a957c07447ff0d9_82)[Compensation](#ib1e10f04db7740229a957c07447ff0d9_82) - [Annual Cash Incentives: Description](#i9b43bc7385574aa0b386691838e04663_21671)[and Analysis](#i9b43bc7385574aa0b386691838e04663_21671)" on page [51](#i9b43bc7385574aa0b386691838e04663_21675) for further discussion of performance targets used to set 2025 compensation. Additionally, equity-based awards are designed to provide long-term incentives that reward price appreciation of our Common Shares over a multi-year period.

We also believe that the Company's executive compensation program does not encourage excessive risk taking. The Compensation and Human Capital Committee has incorporated the following risk-oversight and compensation-design features to guard against excessive risk taking:

**•** Review and approval of corporate objectives by the Compensation and Human Capital Committee to ensure that these goals are aligned with the Company's annual operating and strategic plans, achieve the desired risk/reward balance, and do not encourage excessive risk taking;

**•** Base salaries consistent with each executive's responsibilities so that the executive is not motivated to take excessive risks to achieve a reasonable level of financial security;

**•** A significant portion of each executive's compensation is tied to the future share performance of the Company;

**•** Equity compensation and vesting periods for equity awards that encourage executives to focus on sustained share price appreciation;

**•** Robust share ownership guidelines, clawback policy, anti-hedging policy and anti-pledging policy; and

**•** A mix of cash and equity compensation that is designed to encourage strategies and actions that are in the long-term best interests of the Company.

Executive Compensation

Role of the Compensation and Human Capital Committee

The purposes and responsibilities of the Compensation and Human Capital Committee include the following:

**•** Review and approve corporate goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of the CEO, evaluate the CEO's performance and determine and approve the CEO's compensation level based on this evaluation;

**•** Review and approve the compensation of non-employee directors and executive officers other than the CEO, with input from the CEO on the compensation of other executive officers;

**•** Periodically review the Company's incentive-compensation and equity-based plans and approve any new or materially amended equity-based plans; and

**•** Oversee, with management, regulatory compliance with respect to compensation matters.

The Compensation and Human Capital Committee may, in its discretion, delegate all or a portion of its duties and responsibilities to a subcommittee. In particular, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee may delegate the approval of certain equity awards to a subcommittee consisting solely of one or more members of the Board who are "non-employee directors" for the purposes of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act or, to the extent permitted by law and subject to such limitations as the Compensation and Human Capital Committee may impose, to one or more officers of the Company; provided, however, that in no event shall an officer of the Company be delegated authority to grant awards to, or amend or take other administrative action with respect to awards held by, individuals who are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

Role of the Compensation Consultant and Use of Market Data

In setting compensation for fiscal year 2025 performance, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee again engaged Ferguson Partners ("FPC"), an independent compensation consultant, to assist in determining the appropriate amounts, types and mix of executive compensation. The Compensation and Human Capital Committee, with the help of its independent compensation consultant:

**•** reviews the compensation practices of other REITs in order to evaluate market trends and compare our compensation program with the compensation programs of our competitors;

**•** develops, based in part on this data, a compensation plan that is intended to maintain and strengthen the link between corporate performance and shareholder returns while being generally competitive within our industry; and

**•** evaluates benchmark data of compensation paid by peer group companies, not to target a specific percentile of compensation, but rather as a frame of reference to establish NEO compensation opportunities.

Based on the Company's and the individual's overall performance relative to the peer group and the unique circumstances associated with any individual officer, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee, in consultation with FPC, determined the appropriate level of annual compensation opportunities.

During 2025, FPC analyzed data prepared by management regarding the Company's total compensation obligations to the NEOs, including realized compensation from the prior year and targeted cash compensation for the current year. FPC also analyzed the mix of fixed versus variable, short-term versus long-term and cash versus equity-based compensation and total compensation of officers with similar duties and responsibilities, as well as similar rank within the NEO group, at the peer group companies.

For fiscal year 2025, FPC recommended the level of base and target annual incentive cash bonus compensation to be set for each NEO as well as the amount of equity awards to be granted to each NEO (or, if applicable, concluded that the recommendations of the CEO with respect to such other executive officer's compensation were reasonable), based on its review of peer data, industry trends, existing employment agreements and current compensation levels, and other factors. The Compensation and Human Capital Committee considered FPC's recommendations and analysis when determining base salaries and annual and long-term incentives.

The Compensation and Human Capital Committee considers a variety of factors when constructing an appropriate peer set, including recommendations from FPC. Being a publicly traded, retail-focused, predominantly outlet REIT requires our executive officers to have certain unique skill sets, background, and relationships. However, we are the only publicly traded REIT with this focus and, therefore, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee elected to include companies from the broader retail REIT industry when selecting appropriate peers. In the graphic below we have identified several key factors the Compensation and Human Capital Committee considers when choosing an appropriate peer group, such as who the Company competes with for talent, tenants, and investors.

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Against whom does the Company compete for executive talent? | While we generally compete for human capital within the real estate industry, we sometimes obtain talent from companies in other industries, such as technology, finance, retail consumer and service businesses. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Against whom does the Company compete for tenants and investors? | Our outlet centers have begun adding a new variety of tenants, and the Company has acquired 3 open-air lifestyle centers (as of February 2026), thus competing more directly with the shopping center REITs.  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Company Size (as defined by market and total capitalization, and number of employees) | The companies we selected are of similar size and scope.  |

The Compensation and Human Capital Committee will continue to assess the composition of the peer group to determine the appropriateness of each peer company.

Executive Compensation

Determination of Compensation Consultant's Objectivity

The Compensation and Human Capital Committee recognizes that it is essential to receive objective advice from its outside independent compensation consultant. As a result, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee does not allow the Company to engage FPC in matters unrelated to executive compensation.

Role of Management and the Chief Executive Officer in Setting Executive Compensation

On an annual basis, management considers market competitiveness, business results, experience and individual performance in evaluating executive compensation. The CEO is actively engaged in setting compensation for executives (other than himself) through a variety of means, including recommending for Compensation and Human Capital Committee approval the financial performance goals for the executive team. He works closely with the CFO and General Counsel in analyzing relevant market data to determine recommendations for base salary, annual bonus targets and equity compensation awards for other members of senior management. Targets are set in order to drive both annual performance and long-term value creation for shareholders. The Compensation and Human Capital Committee determines the compensation and performance goals of the executive team after receiving the recommendations from the CEO. The Compensation and Human Capital Committee will consider, but is not bound by and does not always accept, the recommendations of the CEO with respect to executive compensation. For 2025, all NEOs were generally subject to the same financial performance goals, all of which are approved by the Compensation and Human Capital Committee.

We believe that the following discussion is a useful presentation of the Compensation and Human Capital Committee's decisions with regard to 2025 NEO compensation. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Summary Compensation Table presented on page [62](#ib1e10f04db7740229a957c07447ff0d9_91) where, in accordance with SEC rules, we present equity-based awards as compensation for the year in which they were granted as opposed to the year for which they were earned.

The Compensation and Human Capital Committee received information from FPC, its compensation consultant, and management for consideration in determining the specific amounts of compensation to be provided to the executive officers for fiscal year 2025 performance. Among the factors considered for our executive compensation generally, and for the NEO compensation in particular, are market competitiveness, company performance results, internal equity, past practice, experience and individual performance. There is no particular weight given to any factor, which may differ among individual NEOs, and instead factors are reviewed on a holistic basis.

Business results from the most recently completed fiscal year factor heavily in setting executive compensation. These results are reviewed and discussed by the Compensation and Human Capital Committee and FPC. Payouts are generally based on actual financial results, measured against the targets approved by the Compensation and Human Capital Committee under our incentive compensation plans. In addition, these results are a consideration in setting performance targets for the next fiscal year. Based on the financial results presented by management, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee reviews the individual performance of the NEOs (other than the CEO) as reported by the CEO and approves their compensation for the next fiscal year.

In evaluating the performance of the CEO and setting his compensation, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee takes into account corporate financial performance, as well as performance on a range of non-financial factors, including accomplishment of strategic goals, workforce development and succession planning, and the CEO's working relationship with the Board. See "[202](#iede9e56de3b84686bc89819b8cda288f_8435)[5](#iede9e56de3b84686bc89819b8cda288f_8435)[Business Recap](#iede9e56de3b84686bc89819b8cda288f_8435)" on page [45](#iede9e56de3b84686bc89819b8cda288f_8435) for a summary of our operational achievements in 2025.

The Company's primary components of compensation for its executive officers are base salary, annual incentive cash bonuses, and long-term equity-based incentive compensation in the form of time- and performance-based equity awards. There is no pre-established policy or target for the allocation between cash and non-cash incentive compensation or between short-term and long-term compensation, although the Company attempts to keep total cash compensation within the Company's fiscal year budget while reinforcing its pay-for-performance philosophy and also taking into account annual accounting cost and the impact of share dilution. Within the framework of aligning total compensation with corporate and individual performance, the purpose of each of the components is as follows:

Base Salary: Description and Analysis

Although the Compensation and Human Capital Committee does not benchmark salaries to any specific percentile of base salaries paid to comparable officers in the peer group, the NEOs are paid base salaries within the range of those paid to comparable officers in the peer group and sufficient to attract high-quality executive talent and maintain a stable management team.

Base salaries received for 2025 and 2024 were as follows:

---

Annual Cash Incentives: Description and Analysis

Incentive Cash Bonus Plan for Executive Officers

During 2025, each of our named executive officers was eligible to receive an annual incentive cash bonus payment based upon achieving certain performance criteria during the year (the "Incentive Cash Bonus Plan"). For 2025, the Incentive Cash Bonus Plan was designed to reward the achievement of both financial and strategic performance criteria as approved and set by the Compensation and Human Capital Committee.

Each year, we define annual incentive cash bonus threshold, target, and maximum payout opportunities for our NEOs. Incentive bonus achievement levels for Mr. Yalof are set forth in his employment agreement, as further described in the "Employment and Severance Arrangements" section below. Messrs. Bilerman and Stein and Mses. Swanson and Norman have incentive bonus achievement levels set forth in their respective offer letters. For 2025, these opportunities were defined as a percentage of base salary, as shown in the table below. For dollar amounts potentially payable under these annual incentive cash bonus opportunities, see the "2025 Grants of Plan-Based Awards" table on page [63](#ib1e10f04db7740229a957c07447ff0d9_94). The 2025 threshold, target, and maximum opportunities for our NEOs as a percentage of base salary were unchanged from 2024.

The threshold, target and maximum amounts for our NEOs in 2025 were as follows (as a percentage of base salary):

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Named Executive Officer** | **Threshold** | **Target** | **Maximum** |
| **Stephen Yalof**, President and CEO | 75% | 150% | 250% |

---

The performance levels above were approved in the first quarter of 2025 based on the original 2025 budget/operating plan. If minimum performance criteria targets are not met, no bonuses are generally paid. If maximum targets are met or exceeded, bonuses may be significant but are capped as set forth in "Maximum" column of the table above. If results are between Threshold and Target or Target and Maximum levels, the bonuses are paid out based on linear interpolation between these points. At the time the specific strategic objectives were set, as in years past, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee believed the performance levels would be challenging and difficult, but achievable with significant effort and skill. In 2025 the Company fell between the target and maximum financial performance level for its Core FFO, Same Center NOI, and Operating Margin goal. The Compensation and Human Capital Committee determined that the strategic performance element was achieved at 91% of maximum due to management's accomplishments including a) successfully formulating and presenting a detailed multi-year refinancing plan to the Board comprising various capital market options which maintained the Company's conservative leverage profile and liquidity; b) executing a number of financing transactions during 2025 and early 2026, which provided significant liquidity, reduced risk and created significant value for shareholders; c) completion of a Greenhouse Gas (GHG) baseline aligned with the GHG Protocol standards, incorporating updated data and methodologies; d) completion of an updated Materiality Assessment aligned with double materiality principles to identify and prioritize key factors that impact both the business and external stakeholders; e) providing a roadmap for focusing investments and initiatives on areas that drive the most value, enhance transparency, and meet investor expectations; f) developing workforce capabilities through professional development and skill-building programs, including launching a learning platform and achieving at least a 75% participation rate in training programs among employees in 2025; and g) successfully implementing core strategies across leasing, operations, marketing and loyalty to drive managed portfolio traffic and total sales in 2025.

See "Actual 2025 Annual Cash Incentive Awards" below, for the amount of annual incentive cash bonuses received by each NEO pursuant to the above results. Further, for a reconciliation of Core FFO, Same Center NOI, and Operating Margin to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, please see Appendix A to this Proxy Statement.

Actual 2025 Annual Cash Incentive Awards

All annual incentive cash bonuses to NEOs for 2025 were paid in accordance with the terms described above. The actual cash incentives paid for 2025 were:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Named Executive Officer** | **Amount Earned** | **% of Target<br>Earned** |

| **Jessica K. Norman,** CAO | 499833 | 125.0% |
| **Justin C. Stein,** CRO | 499833 | 125.0% |

---

The annual incentive cash bonus for a fiscal year is typically paid before March 15th of the following year, once the results for the prior year have been finalized. Generally, executives must be employed as of the last day of the applicable fiscal year to receive payment under the Incentive Cash Bonus Plan for that year. The amounts of the annual cash incentive bonuses earned by each NEO with respect to 2025 are also set forth below in the Summary Compensation Table in the column "Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation."

Long-Term Incentives: Description and Analysis

The Company's long-term incentive compensation consists of equity-based awards under its Incentive Award Plan, either in the form of time-based restricted Common Shares, restricted share units, share options, LTIP units or performance-based awards. Long-term incentives are determined by the Compensation and Human Capital Committee based, in part, on peer group compensation practices combined with recommendations of management and the Company's compensation consultant.

The Compensation and Human Capital Committee generally administers our Incentive Award Plan, which provides for the issuance of equity-based awards to our officers and employees. The Compensation and Human Capital Committee authorizes the awards to employees and establishes the terms and conditions of the awards under the Incentive Award Plan, as it deems appropriate. The chart below illustrates the allocation between performance-based and time-based awards for awards granted in 2025 to our NEOs. The Compensation and Human Capital Committee made no changes to the allocation of equity award types in 2025 as compared to 2024.

<sup>(1)</sup> Represents the grant date fair value of restricted Common Share awards granted to each NEO in 2025 and 2024. The per share grant date fair value for restricted Common Share awards granted in 2025 and 2024 was the closing price of the Company's Common Shares on the day prior to the grant date, which was $35.30 and $26.78, respectively.

<sup>(2)</sup> Represents the grant date fair values of performance-based LTIP units and notional units granted to each NEO under the 2025 and 2024 PSPs. The per share grant date fair value for each performance-based LTIP unit or notional unit granted in 2025 and 2024 was $22.22 and $16.36, respectively. These grant date fair values were based on Monte Carlo valuations computed in accordance with FASB ASC 718.

Restricted Common Share Awards

Awarding restricted Common Shares helps to further align the interests of management with those of our shareholders. In setting the amounts and terms of the restricted Common Shares, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee considers the value of previous grants of restricted Common Shares and the total compensation expense recognized in the Company's financial statements with respect to all previous grants of restricted Common Shares. However, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee does not necessarily limit the number of restricted Common Shares to be granted based on the total value or annual expense recognized in the financial statements because the Compensation and Human Capital Committee generally considers grants of restricted Common Shares to represent both an annual reward for individual and Company performance achieved as well as a longer-term incentive for future performance. Restricted Common Shares are generally granted during the first quarter of the current year once the results from the previous year are finalized.

The restricted Common Share awards granted on February 27, 2025 vest in equal annual installments on February 15 of the three following years. Such vesting, however, is subject to acceleration in certain termination scenarios, as described further in "Equity Compensation Plan Information - Potential Payments on Termination or Change of Control" on page [68](#ib1e10f04db7740229a957c07447ff0d9_1883).

Long-Term Incentive Plan Units ("LTIP units")

With respect to our employee compensation planned for 2026, in February 2026, the Board, upon the recommendation of the Compensation and Human Capital Committee, modified the employee compensation program to permit each NEO to elect to receive his or her 2026 time-based equity award in either time-based restricted Common Shares or an equal number of time-based LTIP units of Tanger Properties Limited Partnership with identical vesting terms. Each LTIP unit, if and upon vesting, is convertible, upon the satisfaction of minimum allocations to the capital account of the LTIP unit for federal income tax purposes, into a non-voting Class C common unit of Tanger Properties Limited Partnership. Each such Class C common unit may be exchanged by the holder for one Common Share. LTIP units are intended to qualify as profits interests for US federal income tax purposes.

Executive Compensation

The Compensation and Human Capital Committee believes that restricted Common Share or LTIP unit grants with

time-based vesting features provide the desired incentive to increase the Company's share price and drive value for our shareholders over the vesting period. The Company's financial performance, whether superior or poor, will impact the value of the restricted Common Shares or LTIP units, resulting in an increase or reduction, respectively, in the executive officer's total compensation.

The Company measures the grant date fair value under FASB ASC 718 of all restricted Common Shares and LTIP units with time-based vesting features as the closing price of our Common Shares on the last trading day prior to the grant date.

2025 Performance Share Plan (PSP)

During February 2025, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee approved the terms of the 2025 PSP. The design of the 2025 PSP remains substantially the same as the 2024 PSP, except that grantees were permitted to elect to receive, in lieu of the notional units typically granted under the PSP, LTIP units of Tanger Properties Limited Partnership. Each LTIP unit, if it becomes earned and vested, is convertible (upon satisfaction of minimum allocations to the capital account of the LTIP unit for federal income tax purposes) into a non-voting Class C common unit of Tanger Properties Limited Partnership. Each such Class C common unit may then be exchanged by the holder for one Common Share. The LTIP units will be earned (or forfeited) based on the same performance criteria as are applicable to notional units under the PSP, and will become vested (or forfeited) based on the same time-based criteria as the restricted Common Shares issued in respect of earned notional units. These LTIP units are intended to qualify as profits interests for US federal income tax purposes and are therefore intended to provide beneficial tax treatment to the grantees. Otherwise, assuming satisfaction of the requisite minimum allocations, the LTIP units will have the same pre-tax economics as notional units granted under the PSP and are intended to have the same incentive effects.

For 2025, our PSP again measures performance based on relative TSR (weighted 67%) and absolute TSR (weighted 33%). For relative TSR, we measure our TSR against the TSR of companies in the FTSE NAREIT Retail Index, which includes several of our competitors and allows for a meaningful comparison of our performance relative to other similar companies. We have used this index since 2018 to measure our performance.

A common practice in long-term incentive plan design that has developed is to use absolute TSR performance as a <u>modifier</u> to an award rather than as a standalone performance metric. Although there are different approaches used, the most common methodology for a modifier is to either cap an award payout at target or reduce the award payout by 25% if absolute TSR is negative. The Compensation and Human Capital Committee believes that our program is significantly more rigorous in that the Company must not just have a positive shareholder return to merit a payout on the absolute TSR portion, but rather, must deliver a cumulative TSR of at least 26% over the performance period. In other words, if our absolute TSR is less than 26%, no amount will be earned in respect of the absolute TSR portion of the 2025 PSP and the maximum payout that may then be earned is the 67% of the 2025 PSP attributable to relative TSR performance.

Any restricted Common Shares or LTIP units earned under the 2025 PSP of as the end of the three-year performance period (which concludes on December 31, 2027) will be subject to a time-based vesting schedule, pursuant to which 50% of the earned restricted Common Shares or LTIP units would vest on February 15, 2028 and the remaining 50% would vest upon the completion of one additional year of service, on February 15, 2029, contingent upon continued employment with the Company through each applicable vesting date. Such vesting, however, is subject to acceleration in certain termination scenarios, as described further in "Equity Compensation Plan Information - Potential Payments on Termination or Change of Control."

The PSP notional units , prior to the date they are earned and converted into restricted Common Shares, will not entitle award recipients to receive any dividends or other distributions. If the PSP notional units are earned, and thereby converted into restricted Common Shares, award recipients will then be entitled to receive a payment equal to the amount of all dividends and other distributions that would have been paid had the number of earned restricted Common Shares been issued at the beginning of the performance period. Thereafter, dividends and other distributions will be paid currently with respect to all restricted Common Shares then outstanding, whether vested or unvested. During the performance period, performance-based LTIP units will receive current payment of distributions equal to 10% of the operating distributions paid on Class C common units, with the remaining 90% accrued and paid if and when such LTIP units are earned based on performance. Once earned, performance-based LTIP units will receive current payment of distributions equal to 100% of the operating distributions paid in respect of Class C common units.

Executive Compensation

Retirement Benefits

The Company generally does not provide any retirement benefits to its executive officers, other than matching a portion of employee contributions to our 401(k) plan. Employee contributions are matched by us at a rate to be determined annually at our discretion. This benefit is generally available to all employees of the Company.

Perquisites

The Company does not provide significant perquisites or personal benefits to executive officers.

Employment Contracts and Change of Control Arrangements

The Company's business is competitive, and the Compensation and Human Capital Committee believes that it is appropriate for the Company to provide severance protection for its senior executives in the event of certain terminations. In 2021, we adopted the Tanger Inc. Executive Severance Plan (the "Executive Severance Plan") and terminated employment contracts for all executives other than the CEO. Each of the named executive officers, other than the CEO, has been a participant in our Executive Severance Plan since its adoption in 2021 (or starting from the time of such named executive officer's hire, if later). The Company maintains an employment contract with the CEO that provides for certain severance protections. The Executive Severance Plan and CEO employment contract generally provide for severance pay if the executive terminates his or her employment for Good Reason or is terminated by the Company without Cause, as those terms are defined in the Executive Severance Plan or the CEO's employment agreement or, as applicable. These severance arrangements are designed to promote stability and continuity of senior management.

Our Compensation and Human Capital Committee also believes it is appropriate to provide severance protection and accelerated vesting of certain equity grants in the event of an executive's termination in connection with a change of control of the Company. Very often, senior executives lose their jobs in connection with a change of control. By agreeing upfront to provide severance benefits and accelerated vesting of certain equity grants in the event of an executive's termination in connection with a change of control, our Compensation and Human Capital Committee believes we can reinforce and encourage the continued attention and dedication of senior executives to their assigned duties without distraction in the face of an actual or threatened change of control and ensure that management is motivated to negotiate the best acquisition consideration for our shareholders.

See "[Executive Severance Plan](#ib0f4874f7fc041d8bf6dc113116da798_14107)" on page [68](#ib0f4874f7fc041d8bf6dc113116da798_14107) for a description of the Executive Severance Plan.

Minimum Ownership Guidelines

The Board expects the CEO and other NEOs to own a meaningful equity interest in the Company to more closely align the interests of named executive officers with those of shareholders. Accordingly, the Board has established the equity ownership guidelines for the CEO and other NEOs. As the CEO, Mr. Yalof's is required to hold Common Shares with a value equal to 6x his base salary, consistent with other peer group companies. The other NEOs are required to hold Common Shares with a value equivalent to 3x their respective base salaries.

![03_barchart_minimumownershipguidelines.jpg](skt-20260325_g139.jpg)

The executives have five years following their appointment to meet the share ownership guidelines. Vested and unvested restricted Common Shares and time-based LTIP units count toward the equity ownership guidelines, and stock options, whether or not exercisable, do not. All executives who have been NEOs for at least five years met the share ownership guidelines as of February 27, 2026.

Clawback Policy

In 2023, we approved the Tanger Inc. Policy for Recovery of Erroneous Awarded Compensation, effective October 24, 2023, to comply with NYSE listing standards implementing Exchange Act Rule 10D-1 (the "Clawback Policy"). The Clawback Policy generally provides that in the event of certain accounting restatements, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee will take prompt action to recover incentive compensation from executive officers that was erroneously "received" (within the meaning of the rules) in the three prior completed fiscal years. The policy provides the Compensation and Human Capital Committee with broad discretion regarding the means of recovery.

Executive Compensation

Anti-Pledging Policy

Our named executive officers and directors do not have any shares pledged as collateral. The Company has established an anti-pledging policy applicable to our executive officers, directors and employees. The Board believes that pledging securities of the Company as collateral for margin loans or other transactions raises potential risks to shareholder value, particularly if the pledge is significant. Under this policy, officers, directors and employees of the Company may not margin, or agree or offer to margin, the Company's securities as collateral for a loan obligation. Similarly, officers, directors and employees of the Company may not pledge, or agree or offer to pledge, the Company's securities (or a right to receive the Company's securities) as collateral for a loan or other obligation. These prohibitions do not apply to any broker-assisted cashless exercise of equity awards.

Insider Trading Compliance Policy

We have adopted Policies and Procedures for Trading in Securities of Tanger Inc. (the "Insider Trading Policy") that governs transactions in our securities by our directors, officers and associates, and other individuals who gain access to insider information about our Company, including agents and consultants, as well as by the Company itself. The Insider Trading Policy has been reasonably designed to promote compliance with applicable insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and the NYSE listing standards. The foregoing summary of the Insider Trading Policy does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Insider Trading Policy, which was filed as Exhibit 19.1 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

Timing of Equity Awards

Our Compensation and Human Capital Committee generally approves annual equity-based awards to our employees, and our Board generally approves annual equity-based awards to our directors, during the first quarter of the year. The date on which these awards are made has varied from year to year, primarily based on the schedules of Board members and the availability of data requested by the Committee. Off-cycle awards are not often made, but should they occur, their timing would be dictated by the event precipitating the award (e.g., new hire, promotion, etc.) and by the schedules of the Compensation and Human Capital Committee members approving the award. Should material non-public information exist at the time that equity-based awards are approved, the Board or the Compensation and Human Capital Committee would consider the anticipated effect of the material non-public information on our stock price and would take such effect into account when sizing the awards. We do not time the release of material information to affect the value of executive compensation.

Employment and Severance Arrangements

The following summary sets forth the material terms of the employment contract for Mr. Yalof. In connection with the adoption of an Executive Severance Plan in 2021, all other legacy employment contracts were terminated.

Stephen Yalof

Stephen Yalof entered into an employment agreement effective April 6, 2020 and initially expiring on December 31, 2023. This contract was amended on April 10, 2020, April 28, 2020, and again as of December 31, 2023. The 2023 amendment extended the term of Mr. Yalof's agreement to December 31, 2026 (or December 31, 2027, unless either party provides notice of non-renewal at least 180 days prior to December 31, 2026). Mr. Yalof's contract, as amended, provides that he will serve as President and CEO of the Company and the Operating Partnership and (subject to re-election by our shareholders from time to time) as a member of the Board. Pursuant to the terms of the amended agreement, Mr. Yalof's annual base salary may not be less than $900,000 and he is eligible to receive an annual incentive bonus based on performance criteria approved by the Compensation and Human Capital Committee ranging from 0 – 250% of his annual base salary, with a target bonus opportunity of 150%.

Under the amended agreement, Mr. Yalof is eligible to participate in the Company's annual long term incentive program on a basis no less favorable than that afforded to other senior officers.

If Mr. Yalof's employment is terminated by reason of death or Disability, he or his estate will receive as additional compensation an amount equal to his annual base salary and a cash payment equal to his annual bonus for the year of termination, prorated based on the number of days of employment in such year.

Further, if his employment is terminated by us without Cause, or by him for Good Reason, he will receive (a) a severance payment equal to two times (i) his annual base salary, plus (ii) his average annual bonus received for the three most recent calendar years, all payable in installments over 12 months and (b) a monthly COBRA continuation subsidy for Mr. Yalof and his dependents, payable for up to 18 months. These severance benefits will be conditioned on Mr. Yalof's execution of a release of claims.

In addition, if Mr. Yalof's employment is terminated without Cause or for Good Reason, or due to his death or Disability, he will be entitled to the following equity award treatment: (x) pro-rata vesting of his time vested awards, and (y) pro-rata survival of his performance-based equity awards (which will then vest to the extent the applicable performance goals are achieved at the end of the performance period); provided that if such termination occurs within 12 months following a Change in Control,

his performance-based equity awards will vest immediately, without pro-ration, assuming target performance or, if greater, actual performance through the date of termination (with performance goals equitably adjusted to reflect the shortened performance period). However, if the treatment of equity awards provided for in his individual equity award agreements or the Tanger Inc. Executive Severance and Change of Control Plan (the "Executive Severance Plan") as then in effect is more beneficial than the treatment described above, Mr. Yalof will be entitled to the more beneficial treatment.

If, by the 120th day prior to the expiration of the amended agreement, we do not offer Mr. Yalof a new employment agreement on terms and conditions substantially similar to the amended agreement, or if the term of the amended agreement is not extended due to delivery by us of notice of nonrenewal, Mr. Yalof's employment will terminate on the last day of the term of the amended agreement and he will receive an amount equal to (i) 100% of his annual base salary, and (ii) a pro-rated annual bonus for the year of termination.

The amended agreement also provides that, during and following Mr. Yalof's employment, we will maintain officers and directors fiduciary liability insurance covering him on terms and conditions no less favorable than the terms and conditions applicable to other our other executive officers and Board members.

During the term of employment for Mr. Yalof and for one year after, if his employment is terminated for any reason, with respect to the Company, the Operating Partnership, their respective subsidiaries and other entities under common control with the Company and/or the Operating Partnership as of the date of termination (the "Related Entities"), he is prohibited from engaging, in the Restricted Territory (as defined in his employment agreement), in (a) management, development, operation, or construction (other than in the performance of his duties for Company and the Related Entities) of (i) any factory outlet centers or (ii) retail commercial property that competes with factory outlet centers, (b) any active or passive investment by or on behalf of himself (other than in the performance of his duties for the Company and the Related Entities) in an entity that operates, manages, or constructs, or invests in property used for (i) a factory outlet center or (ii) retail commercial property that competes with factory outlet centers, or (c) his performance of the same or substantially similar duties, work, or responsibilities that he performed for the Company and/or a Related Entity involving the same or substantially similar products or services as those with which the Executive worked while employed by the Company.

Mr. Yalof is employed and compensated by both the Operating Partnership and the Company. The Compensation and Human Capital Committee believes that the allocation of his compensation between the Company and the Operating Partnership reflects the services provided by him with respect to each entity.

All payments and benefits due to Mr. Yalof under his agreement are subject to reduction to the extent necessary to avoid federal excise tax on certain "excess parachute payments" under Section 4999 of the Code, if such reduction would increase Mr. Yalof's net after-tax economic position.

Executive Severance Plan

On March 31, 2021, we adopted the Executive Severance Plan, pursuant to which certain of our executives, including Mr. Bilerman, Ms. Swanson, Ms. Norman and Mr. Stein, are eligible to receive certain benefits in the event of certain qualifying terminations.

In the event the executive's employment is terminated by us without Cause or by the executive for Good Reason other than on or within 12 months following a Change of Control (each as defined in the Executive Severance Plan), subject to the executive's execution and non-revocation of release and continued compliance with the applicable restrictive covenants, such executive will be entitled to receive (i) a severance payment equal to the sum of (x) 100% of such participant's annual base salary for the year in which termination occurs and (y) the average annual performance bonus for the three consecutive years immediately preceding the year in which the termination occurs (or if such executive has been eligible to receive an annual performance bonus for fewer than three years, such fewer number of years), to be paid monthly over twelve months (the "Severance Payment") and, (ii) a monthly COBRA subsidy for up to 12 months, and (iii) full acceleration of time-based equity awards, with a pro-rata portion of performance-based awards remaining outstanding and eligible to vest, as determined based on actual achievement of the applicable performance goals through the end of the applicable performance period(s) (the "Equity Award Acceleration").

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such termination occurs on or within 12 months following a Change of Control (as defined in the Executive Severance Plan), the executive will instead receive severance of (i) two times (2x) the Severance Payment, (ii) a monthly COBRA subsidy for up to 24 months, and (iii) full acceleration of time-based equity awards and, to the extent any performance-based awards are assumed, substituted or replaced in connection with such change of control, acceleration of such performance-based awards at the greater of (a) actual performance through the termination date and (b) target performance.

If the executive's employment is terminated due to death or Disability (as defined in the Executive Severance Plan), the executive or the executive's estate will receive (i) a lump sum payment equal to half (0.5x) of the executive's annual base salary, payable in a lump sum, (ii) a pro-rata portion of the annual bonus earned for the year in which termination occurs, payable at the time in which annual bonuses are paid generally to other executives of the Company for the applicable year, and (iii) the Equity Award Acceleration.

Any severance payments or benefits under the Executive Severance Plan will be subject to a Section 280G "best net" cutback in which such payments or benefits will only be reduced to the extent it results in a better tax position for the executive.

As a condition to participation in the Executive Severance Plan executives are required to execute a participation letter agreement, pursuant to which they will be subject to non-competition and non-solicitation covenants for a period of time post-termination as well as perpetual confidentiality and non-disparagement covenants. The post-termination restricted period is generally 12 months for each NEO who participates in the Executive Severance Plan, other than in the event of (i) a termination without Cause or for Good Reason following a Change of Control, in which case the period will be 24 months or (ii) termination due to Disability, in which case the period will be six months.

Section 280G and Section 4999 of the Code provide that certain officers and other service providers could be subject to significant additional taxes if they receive certain "golden parachute" payments or benefits in connection with a change of control of the Company, and that the Company could lose a deduction on the amounts subject to such additional tax. The Company has no policy or commitment to provide any executive or director with any gross-up or other reimbursement for tax amounts that such executive or director might pay pursuant to these laws, and Mr. Yalof's employment agreement and the Executive Severance Plan provides in certain circumstances for a cutback of amounts payable to avoid such additional taxes.

Potential Payments on Termination or Change of Control

The table below reflects the amount of compensation payable to each of our named executive officers in the event of a termination of such executive's employment. In particular, the table below sets forth the amount of compensation payable to each named executive officer in connection with a Change of Control and each of the following different types of termination of employment : (1) termination by the Company without Cause or by the executive for Good Reason (each term as defined below), (2) termination as a result of death, (3) termination as a result of Disability (as defined below), and (4) termination by the Company for Cause or by the executive without Good Reason.

Assumptions

The amounts shown below assume that such termination or Change of Control was effective December 31, 2025, and thus amounts earned through such time are estimates of the amounts that would be paid out to the executives upon such termination or Change of Control. The actual amounts to be paid can only be determined at the time of such executive's separation from the Company and/or the Operating Partnership upon termination or a Change of Control.

In addition, any severance benefits or additional compensation that these executives are eligible to receive upon termination will be reduced to the extent necessary to prevent the executive from having any liability for the federal excise tax levied on certain "excess parachute payments" under section 4999 of the Code, to the extent such reduction would improve the executive's net after-tax economic benefit. The amounts shown in the table below are the maximum amounts the executives would be eligible to receive upon termination assuming no such reduction in compensation or benefits would be applied.

Also considered in the table below is the estimated value of restricted Common Shares and LTIP units earned upon certain termination of employment or a Change of Control under the Company's 2025, 2024 and 2023 PSPs. Under such plans, notional units will convert into restricted Common Shares and LTIP units will be earned upon the satisfaction of certain TSR thresholds over a three-year performance period. For a further discussion of the plans, see "Long-Term Incentives: Description and Analysis" on page [54](#i9b43bc7385574aa0b386691838e04663_21672).

Upon a termination without Cause, for Good Reason, or due to death or Disability, notional units will convert and LTIP units will be earned based upon the share price at the end of the three-year performance period, and the number of restricted Common Shares or LTIP units earned will equal a prorated portion of the restricted Common Shares or LTIP units that would have been earned had a termination not occurred (i.e. prorated based on the period of employment during the three-year performance period). Such restricted Common Shares or LTIP units will vest immediately at the end of the three-year performance period.

Upon a Change of Control (as defined in our Incentive Award Plan), the absolute share price appreciation (absolute TSR) targets will be reduced pro-rata when the Change in Control occurs during the three-year performance period, and notional units will convert and LTIP units will be earned based upon the share price as of the Change of Control. Any restricted Common Shares or LTIP units earned will vest immediately prior to the Change of Control. If the notional units are earned, and thereby converted into restricted Common Shares, then award recipients will be entitled to receive a payment of all dividends and other distributions through the termination date or Change of Control that would have been paid had the number of earned restricted Common Shares or LTIP units been issued at the beginning of the performance period. Similarly, LTIP units that are earned and vested will receive distributions equal to 90% of the operating distributions that would have been paid on an equivalent number of Class C common units during the performance period (the other 10% will have already been paid during the performance period).

<sup>(1)</sup> The terms of the cash severance payments due each NEO under each scenario are more fully described elsewhere in this Proxy Statement under the caption "Employment and Severance Agreements."

<sup>(2)</sup> Amounts shown in this column include the value of restricted Common Shares, restricted share units and/or share options which were unvested at December 31, 2025 and that would immediately vest upon termination of employment or Change of Control. This column also includes the value of Common Shares issuable in respect of the 2023 and 2024 PSP awards and Common Shares or LTIP units issuable in respect of the 2025 PSP awards upon certain terminations of employment. In the event of a termination that results in the total or a pro-rata portion of an NEO's PSP awards remaining outstanding through the end of the applicable performance period and then vesting based on actual performance, the value of the 2023 PSP awards is included at the maximum level (100%), which is based on the probable performance outcome for those awards. The values of the 2024 and 2025 PSP awards are not determinable at this time, as the applicable performance periods remain ongoing. However, for purposes of this table, we have included a number of shares corresponding between target and maximum (79.75%) for the 2024 PSP awards and between minimum and target (42.5%) for the 2025 PSP awards, given the current trends for each. For each of the 2023, 2024 and 2025 PSP awards, the value of the performance shares included in this table takes into account the actual dividends or operating partnership distributions paid through December 31, 2025, which would be deliverable (to the extent not already delivered, with respect to the LTIP units) upon such notional units or performance based LTIP units, as applicable, being earned. No value is included in respect of dividends or operating partnership distributions that may be declared or paid for 2026 and 2027. In this table, each share is valued at $33.37, the closing price of our shares on December 31, 2025 (the last trading day of the year).

<sup>(3)</sup> For Mr. Yalof, this amount includes the estimated costs of continuation of benefits for up to 18 months for group medical and dental coverage. For Mr. Bilerman, Ms. Swanson, Ms. Norman and Mr. Stein this amount includes the estimated costs of continuation of benefits for up to 12 months in connection with a qualifying termination other than within 12 months following a Change of Control, and up to 24 months for group medical and dental coverage in connection with a qualifying termination within 12 months following a Change of Control.

No information contained on the Company's website is part of or incorporated into this Proxy Statement. The Code of Conduct applies to all of the Company's directors, officers and employees and states that conflicts of interest should be avoided wherever possible. Conflicts of interest are broadly defined to include any situation where a person's private interest interferes in any way with the interests of the Company. Any material transaction or relationship that could reasonably be expected to give rise to a conflict of interest should be discussed with the applicable Code of Ethics Contact Person. From time to time, the Company may waive the application of provisions of the Code of Conduct. Any such waiver involving conduct of officers or directors of the Company may be made only by the Board and must be promptly disclosed as required by the rules of the SEC or the NYSE. Any waiver with respect to the conduct of other employees may be made only by the CEO.

The Related Party Transaction Policy and Procedures requires the approval or ratification by the Audit Committee of any "related party transaction," defined as any transaction, arrangement or relationship in which we were, are or will be a participant, the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and one of our executive officers, directors, director nominees, 5% shareholders, their immediate family members or individuals sharing the household of any of the foregoing or any entity with which any of the foregoing persons is an employee, general partner, principal or 5% shareholder, each of whom we refer to as a "related person," has or will have a direct or indirect material interest. The policy provides that management must present to the Audit Committee for review and approval each proposed related party transaction (other than related party transactions involving compensation matters and certain ordinary course transactions). The Audit Committee must review the relevant facts and circumstances of the transaction, including if the transaction is on terms comparable to those that could be obtained in arm's-length dealings with an unrelated third party and the extent of the related party's interest in the transaction, take into account the conflicts of interest and corporate opportunity provisions of our Code of Conduct, and either approve or disapprove the related party transaction. If advance approval of a related party transaction requiring the Audit Committee's approval is not feasible, the transaction may be preliminarily entered into by management upon prior approval of the transaction by the chair of the Audit Committee, subject to ratification of the transaction by the Audit Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting. No director may participate in approval of a related party transaction for which he or she is a related party.

---

The Audit Committee has appointed the firm of Deloitte & Touche LLP to audit the accounts of the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026 and to perform such other services as may be required. The submission of this matter for approval by shareholders is not legally required; however, the Board believes that such submission is consistent with best practices in corporate governance and is an opportunity for shareholders to provide direct feedback to the Board on an important issue of corporate governance. If the shareholders do not approve the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP, the selection of such firm as our independent registered public accounting firm will be reconsidered. Even if the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP is ratified, the Audit Committee retains the discretion to select a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company.

Deloitte & Touche LLP served as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. There are no affiliations between the Company and Deloitte & Touche LLP, its partners, associates or employees, other than its engagement as an independent registered public accounting firm for the Company. Representatives of Deloitte & Touche LLP are expected to be present electronically at the meeting, will have an opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and will be available to respond to appropriate questions from shareholders. See the "Report of the Audit Committee," included below, for information relating to the fees billed to the Company by Deloitte & Touche LLP for the fiscal years ended 2025 and 2024.

**Vote Required**. The ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm will be approved if the votes cast for the proposal exceed the votes cast against the proposal, provided that a quorum is present. Accordingly, abstentions and Common Shares present at the meeting for any other purpose but which are not voted on this proposal will not affect the outcome of the vote on the proposal. Because brokers have discretionary authority to vote on the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP, we do not expect any broker non-votes in connection with the ratification.

Report of the Audit Committee

The Audit Committee has provided the following report:

During 2025, we reviewed with the Company's management, Director of Internal Audit and the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, Deloitte & Touche LLP, the scope of the annual audit and audit plans, the results of internal and external audit examinations, the evaluation by Deloitte & Touche LLP of the Company's system of internal control, the quality of the Company's financial reporting and the Company's process for legal and regulatory compliance. We also monitored the progress and results of the testing of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Management is responsible for the Company's system of internal control, the financial reporting process and the assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. The Company's independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for performing an integrated audit and issuing reports and opinions on the following:

**1.**the Company's consolidated financial statements; and

**2.**the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

As provided in our Charter, our responsibilities include monitoring and overseeing these processes.

Consistent with this oversight responsibility, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm reports directly to us. We appointed Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for 2025 and approved the compensation of the firm. We reviewed and approved all non-audit services performed by Deloitte & Touche LLP during 2025 and determined that the provision of the services was compatible with maintaining Deloitte & Touche LLP's independence. In addition, we have delegated to the Chair of the Audit Committee the authority to pre-approve other non-audit services to be performed by Deloitte & Touche LLP and associated fees, and the Chair reports all such decisions at the Audit Committee's next regularly scheduled meeting.

We have received the written disclosures and letter from Deloitte & Touche LLP required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the "PCAOB") regarding Deloitte & Touche LLP's communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and we discussed with Deloitte & Touche LLP its independence relative to us.

We reviewed and discussed the 2025 consolidated financial statements and management's assessment of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting with management and Deloitte & Touche LLP. We also discussed the certification process with the CEO and CFO. Management represented to us that the Company's consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and that the Company's internal control over financial reporting was effective. We discussed with Deloitte & Touche LLP the matters required to be discussed by Auditing Standard No. 1301, Communications with Audit Committees, issued by the PCAOB and the SEC.

Based on these discussions and reviews, we recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 for filing with the SEC. This report is made by the undersigned members of the Audit Committee. This report shall not be deemed incorporated by reference by any general statement incorporating this proxy statement into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and the Exchange Act, except to the extent we specifically incorporate this information by reference, and shall not otherwise be deemed filed under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.

---

We are seeking advisory shareholder approval of the compensation of the NEOs as disclosed in the section of this proxy statement titled *"Executive Compensation."* The Company has determined to hold a "Say-on-Pay" advisory vote every year. In accordance with this determination and Section 14A of the Exchange Act, shareholders are being asked to vote on the following advisory resolution:

"RESOLVED, that the shareholders approve the compensation of the Company's named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission in the Company's Proxy Statement for the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (which disclosure includes Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables and any related material)."

Although the vote is advisory, and non-binding, the Board of Directors and the Compensation and Human Capital Committee will review the voting results in connection with their ongoing evaluation of the Company's compensation program. The next "Say-on-Pay" advisory vote is expected to occur at the 2027 annual meeting of our shareholders.

As described more fully in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section of this Proxy Statement, the Company's compensation program is designed to reward both teamwork and the individual officer's contribution to the Company with respect to annual and longer term goals. The Company's primary components of compensation for its executive officers have been base salary, annual incentive cash bonuses and long-term equity-based incentive compensation.

The Compensation and Human Capital Committee believes that an executive compensation program that strongly links both the short-term and long-term performance of the Company and the compensation of our executive officers is a key driver of our long-term financial success.

The Company believes that our current executive compensation program represents a thoughtful, balanced program with a pay-for-performance structure that focuses on Company performance and reflects the feedback of our shareholders.

Say-on-Pay Responsiveness

We have historically taken into consideration the results of our advisory votes on the Company's executive compensation program and NEO compensation decisions, and since 2014, we have proactively engaged in ongoing shareholder outreach in order to hear feedback about our executive compensation program directly from shareholders. We annually conduct outreach efforts, led by Ms. Bridget M. Ryan-Berman, our Lead Independent Director, to understand and address any potential shareholder concerns.

In addition to our Shareholder Engagement from our Board, management maintains active dialogue with the financial community and during 2025, we continued our efforts to engage with the investment community and other key stakeholders through frequent discussions, meetings and property tours.

Our shareholders approved the 2025 advisory executive compensation say-on-pay vote at a rate of 97.8% of votes cast. We believe that the overwhelming support of our shareholders indicates that our shareholders are generally supportive of our approach to executive compensation.

2025 CEOPay Ratio

As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the "Dodd-Frank Act") and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information regarding the relationship of the annual total compensation of our CEO to the annual total compensation of our median employee. We consider our pay ratio to be a reasonable estimate and calculated in a manner that is intended to be consistent with the requirements of Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K. In selecting our median employee, we reviewed the 2025 total cash compensation of all employees in service with us as of December 31, 2025. We used total cash compensation for this purpose because we do not grant equity awards to many of our employees and generally do not pay other non-cash forms of compensation that are material.

After our median employee was identified, we calculated annual total compensation for such employee in accordance with SEC rules (i.e., using the same methodology we use to calculate annual total compensation for our named executive officers in the Summary Compensation Table earlier in this Proxy Statement).

Our median employee had annual total compensation of $119,820 in 2025. Our CEO had annual total compensation of $7,113,515 in 2025. Based on this information, for 2025 the estimated ratio of the annual total compensation of our CEO to the median of the annual total compensation of all our other employees is 59 to 1.

Despite the SEC-mandated labels for these columns, the dollar amounts of compensation in columns do not reflect the actual amount of compensation realized or paid during the applicable year. For information regarding the decisions made by our Human Capital and Compensation Committee in regards to executive compensation for each fiscal year, please see the Compensation Discussion & Analysis sections of the respective proxy statements for each year.

<sup>(3)</sup> Average Total Compensation by year for non-PEO NEOs as presented in the Summary Compensation Table Above. The following non-PEO NEOs are included in the average figures shown, by year:

<sup>(5)</sup> Represents the cumulative total shareholder return (TSR) of the DOW Jones U.S. Real Estate Retail Index assuming $100 was initially invested for the period beginning December 31, 2020 through the years ending December 31, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025 respectively.

<sup>(6)</sup> Net Income, as presented in the Company's Consolidated Income Statements in the Company's Form 10-K for each of the years ending December 31, 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021. We do not consider Net Income to be an appropriate measurement of a real estate company's financial performance, mostly due to its assumption that the value of real estate assets diminishes ratably over time through historical cost depreciation. We believe FFO and Core FFO, as described in Note (7) below, to be a more appropriate measurement of financial performance.

<sup>(7)</sup> Core FFO per diluted share is a non-GAAP financial measure of a real estate company's operating performance. Core FFO is defined as FFO, which is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, further adjusted to eliminate the impact of certain items that we do not consider indicative of ongoing operating performance. We consider Core FFO per diluted share a meaningful measure of operating performance primarily due to its exclusion of historical cost depreciation as required by GAAP, which assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes ratably over time, as well as its exclusion of items mentioned in Appendix A. Core FFO per diluted share is used to evaluate NEO performance under our 2025 Incentive Cash Bonus Plan, a short-term cash incentive program providing for bonus payouts based on the achievement of Core FFO per diluted share as well as based on several other financial and strategic performance objectives. A reconciliation of Core FFO per diluted share to net income is included within Appendix A.

In addition to satisfying the foregoing requirements under our By-Laws, to comply with the universal proxy rules, shareholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than our nominees for the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders must provide notice that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act.

Other Matters

Shareholder Suggestions for Director Nominations

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board will consider suggestions from shareholders for nominees for election as directors to be presented at the 2027 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The person proposing the nominee must be a shareholder entitled to vote at the 2027 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and the suggestion must be made pursuant to timely notice. Shareholder suggestions for director nominees must be received between January 8, 2027 and February 8, 2027, and should include: (i) the candidate's written consent to being named in the Proxy Statement as a nominee and to serve as a director if elected, (ii) the name and address of the shareholder submitting the suggestion or beneficial owner on whose behalf the proposed candidate is being suggested for nomination, and (iii) the class and number of our shares owned beneficially and of record by the shareholder or beneficial owner submitting the suggestion. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider candidates suggested by shareholders on the same terms as candidates selected by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

Board Committee Charters, Corporate Governance Guidelines and Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

Each of the Board's Audit Committee, Compensation and Human Capital Committee, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board. The Board has also adopted written Corporate Governance Guidelines in accordance with listing requirements of the New York Stock Exchange and a written Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to directors, management and employees of the Company. We have made available copies of our Board Committee Charters, Corporate Governance Guidelines and Code of Business Conduct and Ethics on our investor relations website at **investors.tanger.inc** by first clicking on "FOR INVESTORS", then "OUR GOVERNANCE", and then "GOVERNANCE DOCUMENTS." No information contained on the Company's website is part of or incorporated into this Proxy Statement. Copies of these documents may also be obtained free of charge by sending a request in writing to Tanger Inc., 3200 Northline Avenue, Suite 360, Greensboro, North Carolina 27408, Attn: Corporate Secretary.

Householding of Proxy Materials

The SEC permits a single set of proxy materials to be sent to any address at which two or more shareholders reside. This delivery method is referred to as "householding." Each shareholder would receive a separate voter instruction form if the household received printed proxy materials. This procedure reduces the volume of duplicate information shareholders receive and reduces mailing and printing costs. A number of brokerage firms have instituted householding.

Depending upon the practices of your broker, bank or other nominee, you may be required to contact your nominee directly to discontinue duplicate mailings to your household. If you wish to receive a separate copy of an annual report, Proxy Statement, or Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, as applicable, you must contact your broker, bank or other nominee. If you hold Common Shares in your own name as a shareholder of record, householding will not apply to you. We agree to deliver promptly, upon written or oral request, a separate set of proxy materials, as requested, to any shareholder at the shared address to which a single set of those documents was delivered. If you prefer to receive separate copies of the annual report, Proxy Statement or Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials they may be obtained free of charge by calling our Investor Relations Department at (336) 292-3010 or sending your request to the attention of the Corporate Secretary of the Company at 3200 Northline Avenue, Suite 360, Greensboro, NC 27408.

If you are currently a shareholder sharing an address with another shareholder and wish to receive only one set of future proxy materials for your household, please contact the above phone number or address.

Annual Report on Form 10-K

A copy of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, including financial statements and schedules, but not including exhibits, as filed with the SEC, will be sent to any shareholder of record on March 11, 2026 without charge upon written request addressed to: Corporate Secretary, 3200 Northline Avenue, Suite 360, Greensboro, NC 27408.

A reasonable fee will be charged for copies of exhibits. You may also access this Proxy Statement and our Annual Report on Form 10-K at **http://www.edocumentview.com/SKT**. You also may access our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 on our investor relations website at **investors.tanger.inc**.

Other Business

We know of no other business which will come before the meeting for action. However, if any business other than that described in this Proxy Statement comes before the meeting, the persons designated as proxies will have authority to vote in accordance with their best judgment with respect to such business.

**• FOR** the approval, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, of the compensation of our named executive officers.

Beneficial Owner-Voting Instructions

If your shares are held in a brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, the broker, bank or nominee is considered, with respect to those shares, the shareholder nominee, or the shareholder of record, and you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in street name. If you are a beneficial owner but not the shareholder of record, your broker, bank or nominee will vote your shares as directed by you. If you wish to vote your shares online during the Annual Meeting, you should contact your broker, bank or nominee and see below under "Virtual Meeting Information."

If your shares are held in street name by a broker, bank or other nominee, you may direct your vote by submitting your voting instructions to your broker, bank or other nominee. Please refer to the voting instructions provided by your broker, bank or other nominee. Your broker, bank or nominee must vote your shares as you direct. If your shares are held by your shareholder nominee and you do not give your shareholder nominee voting instructions, your shares will not be voted with respect to the election of our directors, the approval, on an advisory (non-binding) basis of the compensation of our named executive officers, and the approval, on an advisory (non-binding) basis of the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation. Your broker has discretionary authority to vote on the ratification of the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm, and may do so even when you have not provided instructions on that matter. However, certain brokers will not exercise their discretionary authority to vote with respect to the ratification of the appointment of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026. Therefore, to be sure your shares are voted on all matters, please instruct your broker, bank or other nominee as to how you wish your shares to be voted.

General Information for Annual Meeting of Shareholders

Quorum and Voting Requirements

Under our By-Laws, a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on a matter constitutes a quorum for action on that matter at the annual meeting. Under our By-Laws and North Carolina law, Common Shares represented at the meeting by proxy for any purpose will be deemed present for quorum purposes for the remainder of the meeting. In uncontested elections, directors will be elected if the votes cast for the nominee's election exceed the votes cast against the nominee's election by the Common Shares entitled to vote in the election, provided that a quorum is present. In a contested election, directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the Common Shares entitled to vote in the election. An election is contested if the Corporate Secretary of the Company determines that the number of nominees, as determined in accordance with the Company's By-Laws, exceeds the number of directors to be elected, and the Corporate Secretary has not rescinded such determination by the record date. If directors are to be elected by a plurality of votes cast, shareholders shall not be permitted to vote against a nominee. This year's election is uncontested. Accordingly, directors will be elected if the votes cast for the nominee's election exceed the votes cast against the nominee's election. In addition, Proposals 2 and 3 will be approved if the votes cast for the proposal exceed the votes cast against the proposal. Abstentions, broker non-votes and shares that are present at the meeting for any other purpose but that are not voted on a particular proposal will not affect the outcome of the vote on the election of directors or Proposals 2 or 3. Any other proposal to properly come before the meeting will be approved if the votes cast for the proposal exceed the votes cast against the proposal unless the North Carolina Business Corporation Act requires a greater number of affirmative votes.

Revocation of Proxies

You may revoke your proxy at any time before it is voted. If you hold your shares in your own name as a shareholder of record, you may revoke your proxy or change your vote in any of the following ways:

**•** by signing and submitting a new proxy card;

**•** by submitting new votes through internet or telephone voting;

**•** by delivering to the Corporate Secretary of the Company written instructions revoking your proxy; or

**•** by attending the meeting online and voting during the meeting.

You cannot revoke your proxy by merely attending the meeting electronically. If you dissent, you will not have any rights of appraisal with respect to the matters to be acted upon at the meeting.

If your shares are held in street name by a broker, bank or other nominee, you may revoke your voting instructions by submitting new voting instructions to the broker, bank or other nominee who holds your shares.

Proxy Solicitation

We are making this solicitation and will pay the entire cost of preparing and distributing the Notice, proxy materials and Annual Report and of soliciting proxies from the holders of our Common Shares. If you choose to access the proxy materials and Annual Report and/or vote over the internet, you are responsible for any internet access charges you may incur. We have retained the services of Okapi Partners LLC to assist us in the solicitation of proxies for a fee of $12,000 plus out-of-pocket expenses. Our directors, officers and employees may, but without compensation other than their regular compensation, also solicit proxies by telephone, fax, e-mail or personal interview. We will reimburse banks, brokerage firms and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for reasonable expenses incurred by them in sending the Notice, proxy materials and Annual Report to beneficial owners.

In connection with our solicitation of proxies for our 2027 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, we intend to file a proxy statement and WHITE proxy card with the SEC. Shareholders may obtain our proxy statement (and any amendments and supplements thereto) and other documents as and when filed with the SEC without charge from the SEC's website at **www.sec.gov**.

Questions and Answers at the Annual Meeting

As part of the Annual Meeting, we will hold a live Q&A session, during which we intend to answer questions from shareholders that are pertinent to the Company and the meeting matters, as time permits, after the completion of the Annual Meeting. Each shareholder is limited to no more than two questions. Questions should be succinct and only cover a single topic. We will not address questions that are, among other things:

**•** irrelevant to the business of the Company or to the business of the Annual Meeting;

**•** related to material non-public information of the Company, including the status or results of our business since the Annual Report and our last Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q;

**•** related to any pending, threatened or ongoing litigation;

**•** related to personal grievances;

**•** derogatory references to individuals or that are otherwise in bad taste;

**•** substantially repetitious of questions already made by another shareholder;

**•** in excess of the two question limit;

**•** in furtherance of the shareholder's personal or business interests; or

**•** out of order or not otherwise suitable for the conduct of the Annual Meeting as determined by the Chair or Corporate Secretary in their reasonable judgment.

Additional information regarding the Q&A session will be available in the "Rules of Conduct" available on the Annual Meeting webpage.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ib1e10f04db7740229a957c07447ff0d9_19)</u>

Appendix A - Definitions andReconciliations of GAAP andNon-GAAP Financial Measures

Funds From Operations

Funds From Operations ("FFO") is a widely used measure of the operating performance for real estate companies that supplements net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP. We determine FFO based on the definition set forth by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("Nareit"), of which we are a member. In December 2018, Nareit issued "Nareit Funds From Operations White Paper - 2018 Restatement", which clarifies, where necessary, existing guidance and consolidates alerts and policy bulletins into a single document for ease of use. Nareit defines FFO as net income (loss) available to the Company's common shareholders computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding (i) depreciation and amortization related to real estate, (ii) gains or losses from sales of certain real estate assets, (iii) gains and losses from change in control, (iv) impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity and (v) after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis.

FFO is intended to exclude historical cost depreciation of real estate as required by GAAP, which assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes ratably over time. Historically, however, real estate values have risen or fallen with market conditions. Because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, gains and losses from property dispositions and extraordinary items, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities and interest costs, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income (loss).

We present FFO because we consider it an important supplemental measure of our operating performance. In addition, a portion of cash bonus compensation to certain members of management is based on our FFO or Core FFO, which is described in the section below. We believe it is useful for investors to have enhanced transparency into how we evaluate our performance and that of our management. In addition, FFO is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO when reporting their results. FFO is also widely used by us and others in our industry to evaluate and price potential acquisition candidates. We believe that FFO payout ratio, which represents regular distributions to common shareholders and unitholders of the Operating Partnership expressed as a percentage of FFO, is useful to investors because it facilitates the comparison of dividend coverage between REITs. Nareit has encouraged its member companies to report their FFO as a supplemental, industry-wide standard measure of REIT operating performance.

FFO has significant limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

**•** FFO does not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

**•** FFO does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

**•** Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and FFO does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and

**•** Other companies in our industry may calculate FFO differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Because of these limitations, FFO should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business or our dividend paying capacity. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using FFO only as a supplemental measure.

Appendix A - Definitions and Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Core FFO

We present Core Funds From Operations ("Core FFO") (formerly referred to as Adjusted Funds from Operations "AFFO") as a supplemental measure of our performance. We define Core FFO as FFO further adjusted to eliminate the impact of certain items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance. These further adjustments are itemized in the table below, if applicable. You are encouraged to evaluate these adjustments and the reasons we consider them appropriate for supplemental analysis. In evaluating Core FFO you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation. Our presentation of Core FFO should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.

We present Core FFO because we believe it assists investors and analysts in comparing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. In addition, we believe it is useful for investors to have enhanced transparency into how we evaluate management's performance and the effectiveness of our business strategies. We use Core FFO when certain material, unplanned transactions occur as a factor in evaluating management's performance and to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies, and may use Core FFO when determining incentive compensation.

Core FFO has limitations as an analytical tool. Some of these limitations are:

**•** Core FFO does not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

**•** Core FFO does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

**•** Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Core FFO does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;

**•** Core FFO does not reflect the impact of certain cash charges resulting from matters we consider not to be indicative of our ongoing operations; and

**•** Other companies in our industry may calculate Core FFO differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Because of these limitations, Core FFO should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using Core FFO only as a supplemental measure.

Portfolio Net Operating Income and Same Center NOI

We present portfolio net operating income ("Portfolio NOI") and same center net operating income ("Same Center NOI") as supplemental measures of our operating performance. Portfolio NOI represents our property level net operating income, which is defined as total operating revenues less property operating expenses and excludes termination fees and non-cash adjustments including straight-line rent, net above and below market rent amortization, impairment charges, loss on early extinguishment of debt, and gains or losses on the sale of assets recognized during the periods presented. We define Same Center NOI as Portfolio NOI for the properties that were operational for the entire portion of both comparable reporting periods, and which were not acquired, or subject to a material expansion or non-recurring event, such as a natural disaster, during the comparable reporting periods.

We believe Portfolio NOI and Same Center NOI are non-GAAP metrics used by industry analysts, investors and management to measure the operating performance of our properties because they provide performance measures directly related to the revenues and expenses involved in owning and operating real estate assets and provide a perspective not immediately apparent from net income (loss), FFO or Core FFO. Because Same Center NOI excludes properties developed, redeveloped, acquired and sold; as well as non-cash adjustments, gains or losses on the sale of outparcels and termination rents; it highlights operating trends such as occupancy levels, rental rates and operating costs on properties that were operational for both comparable periods. Portfolio NOI and Same Center NOI should not be considered alternatives to net income (loss) as an indication of our performance or to cash flows as a measure of our liquidity or ability to make distributions. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating Portfolio NOI and Same Center NOI, and accordingly, our Portfolio NOI and Same Center NOI may not be comparable to other REITs.

Appendix A - Definitions and Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Portfolio NOI and Same Center NOI should not be considered alternatives to net income (loss) or as an indicator of our financial performance since they do not reflect the entire operations of our portfolio, nor do they reflect the impact of general and administrative expenses, acquisition-related expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization costs, other non-property income and losses, the level of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, or trends in development and construction activities which are significant economic costs and activities that could materially impact our results from operations. Because of these limitations, Portfolio NOI and Same Center NOI should not be viewed in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using Portfolio NOI and Same Center NOI only as supplemental measures.

Adjusted EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre

We present Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA") as adjusted for items described below ("Adjusted EBITDA"), EBITDA for Real Estate ("EBITDAre") and Adjusted EBITDAre, all non-GAAP measures, as supplemental measures of our operating performance. Each of these measures is defined as follows:

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) available to the Company's common shareholders computed in accordance with GAAP before net interest expense, income taxes (if applicable), depreciation and amortization, gains and losses on sale of operating properties, joint venture properties, outparcels and other assets, impairment write-downs of depreciated property and of investment in unconsolidated joint ventures caused by a decrease in value of depreciated property in the affiliate, compensation related to voluntary retirement plan and other executive officer severance, certain executive departure related adjustments, gain on sale of non-real estate asset adjustments, casualty gains and losses, gains and losses on early extinguishment of debt, net and other items that we do not consider indicative of the Company's ongoing operating performance.

We determine EBITDAre based on the definition set forth by Nareit, which is defined as net income (loss) available to the Company's common shareholders computed in accordance with GAAP before net interest expense, income taxes (if applicable), depreciation and amortization, gains and losses on sale of operating properties, gains and losses on change of control and impairment write-downs of depreciated property and of investment in unconsolidated joint ventures caused by a decrease in value of depreciated property in the affiliate and after adjustments to reflect our share of the EBITDAre of unconsolidated joint ventures.

Adjusted EBITDAre is defined as EBITDAre excluding gains and losses on early extinguishment of debt, net, casualty gains and losses, compensation related to voluntary retirement plan and other executive officer severance, certain executive departure related adjustments, gain on sale of non-real estate asset adjustments, gains and losses on sale of outparcels, and other items that that we do not consider indicative of the Company's ongoing operating performance.

We present Adjusted EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre as we believe they are useful for investors, creditors and rating agencies as they provide additional performance measures that are independent of a Company's existing capital structure to facilitate the evaluation and comparison of the Company's operating performance to other REITs and provide a more consistent metric for comparing the operating performance of the Company's real estate between periods.

Adjusted EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre have significant limitations as analytical tools, including:

**•** They do not reflect our net interest expense;

**•** They do not reflect gains or losses on sales of operating properties or impairment write-downs of depreciated property and of investment in unconsolidated joint ventures caused by a decrease in value of depreciated property in the affiliate;

**•** Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAre do not reflect gains and losses on extinguishment of debt and other items that may affect operations; and

**•** Other companies in our industry may calculate these measures differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using Adjusted EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre only as supplemental measures.

Net Debt

We define Net debt as total debt less cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, and short-term investments and present this metric for both the consolidated portfolio and for the total portfolio, including the consolidated portfolio and the Company's pro rata share of unconsolidated joint ventures. Net debt is a component of the Net debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio, which is defined as Net debt for the respective portfolio divided by Adjusted EBITDA (consolidated portfolio) or Adjusted EBITDAre (total portfolio at pro rata share). We use the Net debt to Adjusted EBITDA and the Net debt to Adjusted EBITDAre ratios to evaluate the Company's leverage. We believe this measure is an important indicator of the Company's ability to service its long-term debt obligations.
