Safe Harbor Statement

This proxy statement contains certain 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. The Company intends 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 includes this statement for purposes of complying with the safe harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe the Company's future plans, strategies and expectations, including the Company's sustainability and diversity goals, strategies, targets, commitments, projects, objectives, plans and programs, are generally identifiable by use of the words "believe," "expect," "intend," "commit," "anticipate," "estimate," "project," "will," "target," "forecast" or similar expressions. You should not rely on forward-looking statements since they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which, in some cases, are beyond the Company's control and could materially affect actual results, performances or achievements, including the Company's ability to achieve the goals, targets and commitments set forth in this proxy statement. Factors which may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to, (i) general adverse economic and local real estate conditions, (ii) the impact of competition, including the availability of acquisition or development opportunities and the costs associated with purchasing and maintaining assets, (iii) the inability of major tenants to continue paying their rent obligations due to bankruptcy, insolvency or a general downturn in their business, (iv) the reduction in the Company's income in the event of multiple lease terminations by tenants or a failure of multiple tenants to occupy their premises in a shopping center, (v) the potential impact of e-commerce and other changes in consumer buying practices, and changing trends in the retail industry and perceptions by retailers or shoppers, including safety and convenience, (vi) the availability of suitable acquisition, disposition, development and redevelopment opportunities, and risks related to acquisitions not performing in accordance with our expectations, (vii) the Company's ability to raise capital by selling its assets, (viii) disruptions and increases in operating costs due to inflation and supply chain issues, (ix) risks associated with the development of mixed-use commercial properties, including risks associated with the development and ownership of non-retail real estate, (x) changes in governmental laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, changes in data privacy, environmental (including climate change), safety and health laws, and management's ability to estimate the impact of such changes, (xi) our ability to achieve and maintain favorable environmental, social and governance-related rankings and scores, (xii) valuation and risks related to the Company's joint venture and preferred equity investments and other investments, (xiii) valuation of marketable securities and other investments, including the shares of Albertsons Companies, Inc. common stock held by the Company, (xiv) impairment charges, (xv) criminal cybersecurity attacks, disruption, data loss or other security incidents and breaches, (xvi) the impact of natural disasters and weather and climate-related events, (xvii) pandemics or other health crises, such as corona virus disease 2019 ("COVID-19"), (xviii) our ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel, (xix) financing risks, such as the inability to obtain equity, debt or other sources of financing or refinancing on favorable terms to the Company, (xix) the level and volatility of interest rates and management's ability to estimate the impact thereof, (xxi) changes in the dividend policy for the Company's common and preferred stock and the Company's ability to pay dividends at current levels, (xxii) unanticipated changes in the Company's intention or ability to prepay certain debt prior to maturity and/or hold certain securities until maturity, (xxiii) the Company's ability to continue to maintain its status as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, and potential risks and uncertainties in connection with its UPREIT structure, (xxiv) unexpected delays, difficulties, and expenses in executing against the Company's sustainability goals, targets and commitments, (xxv) unexpected cost increases or technical difficulties in constructing, maintaining or modifying properties, (xxvi) energy prices, (xxvii) technological innovations, and (xxviii) the other risks and uncertainties identified under Item 1A, "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in the Company's other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, there is no assurance that the Company's expectations will be realized. The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You are advised to refer to any further disclosures the Company makes or related subjects in the Company's quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K that the Company files with the SEC.

In addition, non-financial information, such as that included in parts of this proxy statement, is subject to greater potential limitations than financial information, given the methods used for calculating or estimating such information. Many of the standards and performance metrics used and referred to in the environmental, social and governance-related goals, targets and commitments set forth or referred to in this proxy statement continue to evolve and are based on management expectations and assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time of preparation, but should not be considered guarantees. The standards and performance metrics used, and the expectations and assumptions they are based on, have not, unless otherwise expressly specified, been verified by any third party. Additionally, our disclosures based on certain third-party frameworks may change due to revisions in framework requirements, availability of information, changes in our business or applicable governmental communication, or other factors, some of which may be beyond our control.

Company Reorganization

Prior to January 1, 2023, the business of Kimco Realty Corporation (the "Company") was conducted through a predecessor entity also known as Kimco Realty Corporation (the "Predecessor"). On December 14, 2022, the Predecessor's Board of Directors approved the entry into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "UPREIT Merger") with the company formerly known as New KRC Corp., which was a Maryland corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Predecessor (the "Parent Company"), and KRC Merger Sub Corp., which was a Maryland corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent Company ("Merger Sub"), to effect the reorganization (the "Reorganization") of the Predecessor's business into an umbrella partnership real estate investment trust, or "UPREIT".

On January 1, 2023, pursuant to the UPREIT Merger, Merger Sub merged with and into the Predecessor, with the Predecessor continuing as the surviving entity and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Parent Company, and each outstanding share of capital stock of the Predecessor was converted into one equivalent share of capital stock of the Parent Company (each of which has continued to trade under their respective existing ticker symbol with the same rights, powers and limitations that existed immediately prior to the Reorganization).

In connection with the Reorganization, the Parent Company changed its name to Kimco Realty Corporation, and replaced the Predecessor as the New York Stock Exchange-listed public company. Effective as of January 3, 2023, the Predecessor converted into a limited liability company, organized in the State of Delaware, known as Kimco Realty OP, LLC, the entity we refer to herein as "Kimco OP". Following the Reorganization, substantially all of the Company's assets are held by, and substantially all of the Company's operations are conducted through, Kimco OP (either directly or through its subsidiaries), as the Company's operating company, and the Company is the managing member of Kimco OP. The officers and directors of the Company are the same as the officers and directors of the Predecessor immediately prior to the Reorganization.

For additional information on our Reorganization, please see our Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 3, 2023 and January 4, 2023.

All references in this proxy statement to "we," "our," "us," the "Company," "Kimco," "Kimco Realty" or "Kimco Realty Corporation" refer to:

• for the period prior to January 1, 2023 (the period preceding the UPREIT Merger), the
 Predecessor and its business and operations conducted through its directly or indirectly owned
 subsidiaries;

• for the period on or after January 1, 2023, (the period from and following the UPREIT
 Merger), the Parent Company and its business and operations conducted through its directly
 or indirectly owned subsidiaries, including Kimco OP; and

• in statements regarding qualification as a real estate investment trust ("REIT"),
 such terms refer solely to the Predecessor or Parent Company, as applicable.

"Kimco OP" refers to Kimco Realty OP, LLC, our operating company following the UPREIT Merger.

References to "shares" and "stockholders" refer to the shares and stockholders of the Predecessor prior to January 1, 2023 and of the Parent Company on or after January 1, 2023, and not the limited liability company interests of Kimco OP.

Board Leadership Structure

The Board of Directors has separated the roles of the Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors and the CEO in recognition of the differences between the two roles. The CEO is responsible for setting the strategic direction for the Company and the day-to-day leadership and performance of the Company, while the Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors provides guidance to the CEO, establishes the agenda for Board of Directors meetings in consultation with the CEO and Lead Independent Director and presides over meetings of the full Board of Directors. Because Mr. Cooper, the Executive Chairman, is an employee of the Company and is, therefore, not "independent," the Board of Directors elected Mary Hogan Preusse, as Lead Independent Director to preside at all executive sessions of "non-management" directors, as defined under the NYSE Listed Company Manual.

Director Independence

Our Board of Directors has adopted a formal set of categorical independence standards for directors. These categorical standards specify the criteria by which the independence of our directors will be determined, including guidelines for directors and their immediate families with respect to past employment or affiliation with the Company or its independent registered public accounting firm. These categorical standards meet, and in some areas exceed, the listing standards of the NYSE. The Board of Directors' categorical standards are available along with our Corporate Governance Guidelines on the Company's website located at <u>www.kimcorealty.com</u> and are available in print to any stockholder who requests them. The Board of Directors affirmatively determined that the following directors are independent of the Company and its management under the standards set forth in the categorical standards and the NYSE listing standards: Philip E. Coviello, Frank Lourenso, Henry Moniz, Mary Hogan Preusse, Valerie Richardson and Richard B. Saltzman.

Term Of Office

All directors of the Company elected at the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Meeting") will serve terms ending at the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualify.

Director Attendance

The Board met five times in 2022. During 2022, each current director attended 100% of the aggregate of the total meetings of the Board and Board committees on which such person served.

The Company encourages directors to attend each annual meeting of stockholders, and all of the directors then serving on the Board were in attendance at the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which was held online.

Director Continuing Education

The Company maintains a program of continuing education for directors. In 2022, directors participated in customized Company-sponsored sessions on business-related topics, corporate governance matters, SEC rule changes, and other current topics such as ESG, DEI, ethical conduct and cybersecurity, including issues applicable to particular committees of the Board of Directors. These sessions included detailed presentations on these matters and discussions on each of the covered topics.

Stock Ownership Guidelines

The Company has stock ownership guidelines that require each director and NEO to own shares of our common stock with a value equal to a certain multiple of his or her annual retainer or base salary. Equity interests that count towards the satisfaction of the ownership guidelines include shares owned outright, shares jointly owned, restricted shares and shares held in a 401(k)-retirement plan.

NEOs have five years from the date they become a member of the Board of Directors or begin to serve in an officer role listed below to meet the ownership levels. All of our directors and NEOs are currently in compliance with the stock ownership requirements, except for Mr. Henry Moniz, who was elected to the Board of Directors on January 12, 2021 and has until January 12, 2026 to meet the required ownership levels.

The Company also has a stock retention requirement for directors and NEOs. Any director or NEO who has not achieved the applicable stock ownership threshold must hold all net-settled shares (after payment of withholding taxes, transaction costs and the exercise price for options, as applicable) until he or she meets the applicable stock ownership threshold.

No Hedging Or Pledging Transactions

We have a policy prohibiting all directors and NEOs from engaging in any hedging transactions with respect to equity securities of the Company held by them, which includes the purchase of any financial instrument (including prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, and collars) designed to hedge or offset any decrease in the market value of our equity securities. We also have a policy that prohibits directors and NEOs from using shares of our common stock, in any pledging transactions.

Clawback Policy

The Company may seek repayment of cash and equity incentive compensation paid to NEOs in the event of a material misstatement of the Company's financial results where an NEO engaged in actual fraud or willful or unlawful misconduct that materially contributed to the need to restate. When the Executive Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors determines that these circumstances exist, the Executive Compensation Committee may direct the Company to recover the after-tax portion of the difference between the compensation actually paid or awarded and the compensation calculated using the restated financial statements, based upon the Executive Compensation Committee's view of all relevant facts and circumstances and the best interests of the Company.

Board Membership

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee assists the Board of Directors in establishing criteria and qualifications for potential Board members. The committee identifies individuals who meet such criteria and qualifications to become Board members and recommends to the Board such individuals as potential nominees for election to the Board. In addition, after consideration of the experience and qualifications matrix set forth on page 12 and other needs of the Board, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee seeks competencies, attributes, skills and experience that will complement and enhance the Board's existing make-up, while taking into account expected retirements, to best facilitate Board succession, transition and effectiveness. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee evaluates each individual in the context of the Board as a whole, to recommend a group that can best continue the success of our Company.

Risk Oversight

Our Board of Directors oversees an enterprise-wide approach to risk management designed to support the achievement of organizational objectives, including strategic objectives, to improve long-term organizational performance and enhance stockholder value. A fundamental part of risk management is not only understanding the risks a company faces and what steps management is taking to manage those risks, but also understanding what level of risk is appropriate for the Company. Management is responsible for establishing our business strategy, identifying and assessing the related risks and establishing appropriate risk management practices. Our Board of Directors reviews our business strategy and management's assessment of the related risk and discusses with management the appropriate level of risk for the Company. Our Board of Directors administers its risk oversight function with respect to our operating risk as a whole and meets with management at least quarterly to receive updates with respect to our operations, business strategies and the monitoring of related risks. The Board of Directors also delegates oversight to the Audit, Executive Compensation and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees whose risk oversight responsibilities are discussed further in "Committees of the Board of Directors" below. The Board believes the leadership structure described in "Board Leadership Structure" above facilitates the Board's oversight of risk management because it allows the Board, with leadership from the Lead Independent Director and working through its committees, to proactively participate in the oversight of management's actions.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

The Company reviews all relationships and transactions in which the Company and our directors and executive officers or their immediate family members are participants to determine whether such persons have a direct or indirect material interest. Our current written policies and procedures for review, approval or ratification of relationships or transactions with related persons are set forth in our:

• Code of Conduct;

• Corporate Governance Guidelines;

• Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Charter; and

• Audit Committee Charter.

Our Code of Conduct applies to all of our directors and employees. Review and approval of potential conflicts of interest involving our directors, executive officers or other principal officers may only be conducted by our Board of Directors. A copy of the Company's Code of Conduct is available through the Investors/Governance/Governance Documents section of the Company's website located at www. kimcorealty.com and is available in print to any stockholder who requests it.

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will review annually the relationships that each director has with the Company (either directly or as a partner, stockholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the Company), in the course of making independence determinations under the Company's categorical independence standards for directors and the NYSE listing standards. Directors are expected to avoid any action, position or interest that conflicts with the interests of the Company or gives the appearance of a conflict. If an actual or potential conflict of interest develops, the director should immediately report the matter to the Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors. Any significant conflict must be resolved, or the director should resign. If a director has a personal interest in a matter before the Board of Directors, the director will disclose the interest to the Board of Directors, excuse himself or herself from discussion on the matter and not vote on the matter. The Corporate Governance Guidelines further provide that the Board of Directors is responsible for reviewing and, where appropriate, approving major changes in and determinations under the Company's Corporate Governance Guidelines, Code of Conduct and other Company policies. The Corporate Governance Guidelines also provide that the Board of Directors has the responsibility to ensure that the Company's business is conducted with the highest standards of ethical conduct and in conformity with applicable laws and regulations.

Pursuant to the Audit Committee Charter and the Audit Committee's policy regarding related-person transactions, the Audit Committee reviews and approves or ratifies related-person transactions that are required to be disclosed as well as all other related-person transactions identified to the Audit Committee by management or the Company's internal audit function. In the course of its review and approval or ratification of a related-party transaction for which disclosure is required, the Audit Committee routinely considers: the nature of the related-person's interest in the transaction; the material terms of the transaction; the importance of the transaction to the related person and to the Company and the extent to which such transaction would impair the judgment of a director or executive officer to act in the best interest of the Company; and any other matters deemed appropriate by the Audit Committee. All related-party transactions described in this Proxy Statement have been reviewed in accordance with this policy.

**Proposal 1: Election of Directors**

Succession Planning, Board Refreshment and Diversity

The mix of skills, experiences, backgrounds, tenures and competencies, as well as the continuity of our Board, has been integral over time to the success of our Company. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee evaluates the specific personal and professional attributes of each director candidate versus those of existing Board members to ensure diversity of competencies, experience, personal history and background, thought, skills and expertise across the full Board. We believe a diverse group of directors can best perpetuate the success of the business and represent stockholder interests through the exercise of sound business judgment. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, and any search firm it engages, will include women and racially/ethnically diverse candidates in all director candidate pools.

Over the past several years, the Board has significantly refreshed itself, reflecting a balanced and diverse group of skilled, experienced directors with varied perspectives and backgrounds, as reflected on the skills matrix, diversity matrix and nominee biographies. The Board's current succession plan reflects the same objectives.

Director Nominee Selection Process

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is not limited to any specific process in identifying candidates and will consider candidates suggested by other members of the Board, as well as candidates recommended by stockholders. Such recommendations should include the name and address and other pertinent information about the candidate as is required to be included in the Company's Proxy Statement. Recommendations should be submitted to the Secretary, Kimco Realty Corporation, 500 North Broadway, Suite 201, Jericho, NY, 11753-2128. In addition, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is authorized to retain search firms and other consultants to assist it in identifying candidates and fulfilling other duties.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee takes into account many factors in recommending candidates for a director. As described in the Company's Corporate Governance Guidelines and in the aforementioned Succession Planning, Board Refreshment and Diversity section, consideration is given to assuring that the Board of Directors, as a whole, considers diversity in its broadest sense, including persons diverse in geography, gender and ethnicity as well as representing diverse experiences, skills and backgrounds. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, and any search firm it engages, will include women and racially/ethnically diverse candidates in all director candidate pools.

Additional factors include, but are not limited to:

• knowledge of real estate;

• the ability to make independent analytical inquiries;

• general understanding of marketing, finance, accounting and other elements relevant to the success of a publicly traded company in
today's business environment;

• understanding of the Company's business on a technical level;

• other board service; and

• educational and professional background.

In addition, each candidate nominee must possess fundamental qualities of intelligence, honesty, good judgment, high ethics and standards of integrity, fairness and responsibility. The Board of Directors and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee evaluate each individual candidate by considering all appropriate factors as a whole. The Company's approach favors active deliberation rather than using rigid formulas to assign relative weights to these factors. Following the end of each fiscal year, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee establishes the criteria for and conducts an annual assessment of the performance of each member of the Board of Directors with respect to these factors. Consideration of other corporate governance principles or modifications of such principles may also be discussed at that time.

Director Candidate Nominations through Proxy Access

Our Bylaws make proxy access available to our stockholders. Under this process, a stockholder or group of up to 20 stockholders who have owned shares of our common stock equal to at least 3% of the aggregate of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock continuously for at least three years may seek to include director nominees in our proxy materials for an annual meeting of stockholders. The maximum number of director nominees that may be submitted pursuant to these provisions may not exceed 20% of the number of directors up for election. To be eligible to use proxy access, such stockholders must satisfy other eligibility, procedure and disclosure requirements set forth in our Bylaws.

Limits on Board Service

Service as a member of the Board is a significant commitment in terms of both time and responsibility. Accordingly, each director is encouraged to limit the number of other boards on which he or she serves so that such other directorships and commitments do not materially interfere with his or her service as an effective and active member of the Board of Directors. Service on other boards and/or committees should also be consistent with the Company's conflict of interest policies and reviewed annually. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide for the following limitations:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Position** | **Maximum Number of Public Company Boards** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Board Members** | **4 other boards** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Audit Committee Members** | **2 other audit committees** |

Board Self-Assessment and Evaluation

Annual self-evaluation and assessment of Board performance helps ensure that the Board and its committees function effectively and in the best interest of our stockholders. This process also promotes good governance and helps set expectations about the relationship and interaction of and between the Board and management. The Board's annual self-evaluation and assessment process, which is overseen by our Lead Independent Director and Chair of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, is re-evaluated annually and is currently structured and carried out as follows:

![](kim4116701-def14a1x22x1.jpg)

Executive Sessions of Non-Management Directors

The non-management directors hold regularly scheduled executive sessions of the Board and its committees without senior management present. These executive sessions are chaired by the Lead Independent Director (at Board meetings) or by the committee chairs (at committee meetings), all of whom are independent directors. The non-management directors met in executive session at all of the regularly scheduled Board and committee meetings held in 2022.

**Proposal 2: Advisory Resolution to Approve Executive Compensation**

**Proposal 2: Advisory Resolution to Approve Executive Compensation** 

In accordance with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, or the Dodd-Frank Act, we are providing our stockholders with a vote for the approval, on a non-binding, advisory basis, of the Company's executive compensation, as disclosed in this Proxy Statement. Our Board of Directors is committed to corporate governance best practices and recognizes the substantial interests that stockholders have in executive compensation matters. The Executive Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors has designed our executive compensation programs to achieve the following key objectives:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Objective** | **How our compensation programs reflect this objective** |
| Achieve long-term Company performance | • Align executive compensation with the Company's and the individual's performance<br> • Make a substantial portion of total compensation variable with performance |
| Align executives' and stockholders' interests | • Provide executives with the opportunity to participate in the ownership of the Company<br> • Reward executives for long-term growth in the value of our stock<br> • Link executive pay to specific, measurable results intended to create value for stockholders |
| Motivate executives to achieve key performance goals | • Compensate executives with performance-based awards that depend upon the achievement of established corporate targets<br> • Reward executives for individual contributions to the Company's achievement of Company-wide performance measures |
| Attract and retain a talented executive team | • Utilize an independent compensation consultant and market survey data to understand pay relative to peer companies |

---

We encourage stockholders to review the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section beginning on page 24 of this Proxy Statement, which describes in detail our executive compensation philosophy and the design of our executive compensation programs. Our Board of Directors believes the Company's executive compensation programs are effective in creating value for our stockholders and moving the Company towards realizing its long-term goals.

The Company has historically determined to hold a Say-on-Pay advisory vote every year, and we expect that, subject to the voting results of Proposal 3, the next Say-on-Pay advisory vote will occur at the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. In accordance with Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), we are asking our stockholders to approve the compensation of our NEOs by casting a vote "FOR" the following resolution:

"RESOLVED, that the Company's stockholders approve, on a non-binding, advisory basis, the compensation of the Company's named executive officers, as disclosed in the Proxy Statement for the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the Summary Compensation Table for 2022 and the other related tables and narrative disclosure."

The vote sought by this proposal is advisory and not binding on the Company, the Board of Directors or the Executive Compensation Committee. Although the vote is advisory and non-binding, the Company, the Board of Directors and the Executive Compensation Committee value the input of the Company's stockholders, and the Executive Compensation Committee will consider the outcome of the vote when making future executive compensation determinations.

**Vote Required**

The vote required for the advisory resolution to approve the Company's executive compensation is the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the proposal. For purposes of this advisory resolution, abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the result of the vote.

The Board unanimously recommends that you vote "for" the advisory resolution to approve the Company's executive compensation.

**Compensation Discussion & Analysis**

**Compensation Discussion & Analysis**

**Named Executive Officers**

**Our Compensation Discussion & Analysis ("CD&A") describes Kimco's 2022 executive compensation program for its named executive officers, or NEOs, listed below:**

**• Milton Cooper, Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors**

**• Conor C. Flynn, Chief Executive Officer**

**• Ross Cooper, President and Chief Investment Officer**

**• Glenn G. Cohen, Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer**

**• David Jamieson, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer**

**Our Compensation Philosophy**

**Our Compensation program is designed to attract, motivate and retain executives who are capable of leading our Company to achievement of our key strategic goals, to be competitive with comparable employers and to align the interests of management with those of our stockholders. We pay our NEOs primarily using salary, annual cash-based incentives and equity awards.**

**We continually seek to refine our executive compensation programs and policies consistent with evolving best governance practices in our industry and our Company's business strategy. We believe that compensation actually received by our executives reflects our goal to align the interests of management with those of stockholders. The following highlights reflect our commitment to pay for performance and maintain a strong executive compensation governance framework.**

**Oversight of Compensation**

**Our Board of Directors has an Executive Compensation Committee (the "Committee" or the "Executive Compensation Committee") that administers and monitors what and how we pay our NEOs and other executives. The Committee held five meetings in 2022.**

**The Committee is currently comprised of Frank Lourenso (Chairman), Philip E. Coviello, Henry Moniz, Mary Hogan Preusse, Valerie Richardson and Richard B. Saltzman. The committee routinely consults with its independent compensation consultant and other advisors in making its decisions, as it seems appropriate. The committee is comprised entirely of independent directors as defined by the NYSE Listed Company Manual.** 

**The Committee's compensation decisions in 2022 emphasized rewarding corporate and financial performance and individual performance, commensurate with an exceptional year of strong performance across the portfolio while executing on our strategy to be the largest owner and operator of open-air, grocery-anchored shopping centers, and to have a growing portfolio of mixed-use assets, in the U.S.**

**Compensation Discussion & Analysis**

2022 Say on Pay Results and Stockholder Engagement

At our 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, we provided our stockholders with the opportunity to vote on an advisory resolution to approve executive compensation, and in future years, we expect such advisory vote will occur annually. Approximately 95% of the votes cast (i.e., excluding abstentions and broker non-votes) on the 2022 Say-on-Pay vote were voted in favor of the proposal.

We have considered the results of the 2022 vote and believe the support of our stockholders for that proposal indicates that our stockholders are supportive of our approach to executive compensation, including the ratio of performance- based compensation to all other compensation, the ratio of performance-based equity compensation to time-based equity compensation, and the integrity of our peer group. In the future, we will continue to consider the outcome of our Say- on-Pay votes when making compensation decisions regarding our NEOs.

**Compensation Discussion & Analysis**

Comparison to Competitive Market

The Executive Compensation Committee reviews competitive compensation data from a select group of peer companies and broader survey sources. However, NEO compensation is not a direct function of market pay levels. Instead, the Executive Compensation Committee uses market data to help confirm that its NEO pay practices are reasonable. For 2022, the following peer group, which is used to benchmark pay practices and with whom we compete for talent, was reviewed. Prologis was removed from the peer group due to its market capitalization and revenues being disproportionately greater than the Company and replaced with Kite Realty Group, Kilroy Realty Corp. and W.P. Carey, which are more comparable on these metrics.

Our senior management team proposed the peer group of companies, which was reviewed and approved by the Executive Compensation Committee and independently reviewed by Pay Governance. Pay Governance reports directly to the Executive Compensation Committee and, in 2022, provided no services to the Company other than executive compensation consulting services.

The survey sources utilized by the Executive Compensation Committee in reviewing executive compensation provide aggregate data, and the Executive Compensation Committee is not provided with compensation data specific to any individual constituent company in the surveys, other than any overlap between the survey constituent companies and our peer group discussed above.

**Compensation Discussion & Analysis**

Elements of Our Executive Compensation Program

Our executive compensation program provides pay-for-performance compensation that we believe is aligned with the interests of our stockholders and is designed to continue to attract, retain and appropriately motivate our key employees who drive long-term value creation.

Adjusted FFO, Recurring EBITDA including the pro-rata share of joint ventures ("Recurring EBITDA"), and Leverage, defined as consolidated debt plus the pro-rata share of joint venture debt divided by the total gross consolidated assets and the pro-rata share of joint venture gross assets, are the Company-defined financial metrics used in our annual incentive program, ensuring that pay and performance, as measured in our executive compensation program, are aligned. The Committee also assesses each NEO's individual contributions to the Company's performance in determining awards under our annual incentive program.

The primary components of our executive compensation program, for purposes of establishing 2022 targeted pay, were:

![](kim4116701-def14a1x33x1.jpg)

Consistent with our executive compensation program, the significant majority of the total compensation for our CEO and all other NEOs for 2022 was performance-based, commensurate with business results, and "at risk" unless such business results were achieved, as illustrated below.

![](kim4116701-def14a1x33x2.jpg)

\* Amounts are based on the Summary Compensation Table for 2022 on page 36, excluding the portion of Mr. Milton Cooper's 2021 bonus that was awarded in 2022 in the form of a stock award as well as the special equity awards that Messrs. Ross Cooper and Jamieson received in 2022.

**Compensation Discussion & Analysis**

Base Salary

In reviewing our NEOs' base salaries, the Executive Compensation Committee considers each NEO's scope of responsibilities, individual qualifications and experience, future potential, past performance and the practices of our peer group, without applying a quantitative formula. We did not seek a specific target within our peer group. Base salary increases, if any, are effective January 1 and are approved by the Board of Directors and the Committee. No formulaic base salary increases are provided to the NEOs, and other forms of compensation are generally used to reward overall Company performance or exceptional performance of a particular NEO. The annual base salaries for our NEOs for 2022 were unchanged from their 2021 annual base salaries

Annual Incentive Plan

Under our executive compensation program, each of the NEOs was eligible to receive an annual cash bonus for 2022 based on the Company's corporate / financial performance compared to targets, ESG progress towards goals and the NEO's individual performance against specific quantitative and qualitative goals as further discussed starting on page 29. For 2022, each NEO's annual bonus opportunity for the performance year was 60% based on the Company's corporate / financial performance compared to targets as measured by the Company's (1) Adjusted FFO per diluted share compared to Target FFO, (2) Recurring EBITDA compared to Target EBITDA and (3) Leverage compared to Target Leverage; 30% based on individual NEO performance against specific quantitative and qualitative goals and as evaluated by the Executive Compensation Committee, and 10% based on the achievement of certain ESG initiatives. We calculate Recurring EBITDA starting with the calculation of EBITDA described in Annex A on page 56 and excluding the effects of certain transactional income and expenses.

The table below shows the percentage of the 2022 Total Annual Target Bonus that each of our NEOs would receive based on achievement of specified levels for corporate / financial performance, individual performance and achievement of certain ESG initiatives.

**Compensation Discussion & Analysis**

Corporate / Financial Performance

In 2022, the corporate / financial incentive was based upon the percentage weighting of 60% Adjusted FFO, per diluted share, 20% Recurring EBITDA, and 20% Leverage. For 2022, the Company's Target Adjusted FFO was $1.48 on a diluted per share basis, Target Recurring EBITDA was $1,205.0 million and Target Leverage was 36.4%. After the Executive Compensation Committee considered the Company's actual 2022 Adjusted FFO of $1.59 per diluted share, Recurring EBITDA of $1,273.5 million and Leverage of 36.1%, the payout for the corporate financial incentive was based on the Company exceeding Maximum Adjusted FFO by 5.30%, exceeding Maximum Recurring EBITDA by 3.96% and exceeding Target Leverage by 0.82%. Interpolating linearly between target and attained performance levels for each of the three financial measures resulted in a payout for the corporate / financial incentive of 112.5% of each applicable NEO's total annual target bonus, which is 187.5% of each applicable NEO's 2022 target corporate / financial performance bonus of 60%.

Individual Performance

The Executive Compensation Committee considers each NEO's overall performance in determining the individual performance component of each NEO's annual bonus. For the NEOs other than the CEO, the Committee also considers our CEO's evaluation of each NEO's performance and his recommendations for the individual performance bonuses.

The Committee awarded each of Messrs. Milton Cooper, Ross Cooper, Cohen and Jamieson bonuses for calendar year 2022 based on recommendations made by Mr. Flynn and the Committee's assessment of their 2022 performance compared to specific quantitative and qualitative goals. The Committee awarded Mr. Flynn's bonus for calendar year 2022 based on the Committee's review of Mr. Flynn's 2022 performance.

The decision to pay each NEO an annual bonus of 200% of their target bonus with respect to their individual component was based on the Committee's quantitative and qualitative assessment of each individual's contributions to the Company's performance in 2022 in their respective job functions. The material components of such contributions include but are not limited to:

<sup>(1)</sup> NEOs may elect to receive Restricted Stock under the Company's Amended and Restated 2020 Equity Participation Plan in lieu of some or all of their annual cash bonus for calendar year 2022.

**Long-Term Incentive Plan Overview**

The Company maintains a long-term incentive plan pursuant to which the Company makes annual equity-based compensation awards to the NEOs. The Executive Compensation Committee used its business judgment, after reviewing various peer compensation data, to determine appropriate equity compensation in order to recognize the potential of our executive officers for our business and retain our executive officers for the long term.

**2022 Long-Term Incentive Weighting at Target**

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Long-Term Incentive Component** | **NEOs' Weight at Target** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Time-based Restricted Shares | 33% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Performance Shares: 2022-2024 Relative TSR | 67% |

---

In 2020, each of the NEOs was granted performance shares that permitted them to earn vested shares of common stock based on the Company's total stockholder return ("TSR") compared to peers listed in the Bloomberg REIT Shopping Center Index over a three-year performance period, which commences with the year of grant. The grant date fair value of the performance shares granted to Messrs. Milton Cooper and Flynn for 2020 was $895,954 and $3,200,172, respectively, and for Messrs. Ross Cooper, Cohen and Jamieson was $992,001 each calculated using the Monte Carlo method in accordance with the provision of FASB ASC 718, excluding the effect of estimated forfeitures.

The Monte Carlo method is a methodology that generates a large number of possible outcomes with respect to the variables that will determine the ultimate value of the performance share award – in this case, the Company's TSR over the applicable performance period and the TSR of the companies in the Bloomberg REIT Shopping Center Index. The Company's TSR for the 2020-2022 performance period was in the 84.4% percentile of the peer group. Because this was above the target level of the award but below the maximum level, 197% of the shares were issued in respect of the 2020 performance share awards and each of the NEOs realized a value in respect of these awards.

Long-Term Incentives — Time-based Restricted Shares

Approximately 33% of the value of the equity awards granted in 2022 to the NEOs was awarded in the form of time-vesting restricted stock eligible to vest (excluding the grant that Mr. Cooper received in respect of his bonus and the special grants awarded to Messrs. Ross Cooper and Jamieson), at the election of the NEO, either in 20% increments on each of the first, second, third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of February 13, 2022, or in a single installment on February 13, 2027.

The Executive Compensation Committee, recognizing the current and future criticality of executing on Kimco's 2025 strategy and the importance of key contributor retention, determined Messrs. Ross Cooper and Jamieson warranted a special retention award. Additional details on the overall performance in 2022 of Messrs. Ross Cooper and Jamieson are found in the Individual Performance section beginning on page 29.

For 2022, the time-vesting awards were granted under the Company's 2020 Equity Participation Plan. The actual time-vesting awards granted in 2022 are set out in the "Grants of Plan-Based Awards for 2022" table on page 38.

In 2022, we also issued Mr. Milton Cooper 79,110 shares of restricted stock subject to time-based vesting conditions. These shares were issued pursuant to his election to receive his 2021 annual bonus payment in the form of shares of restricted stock with a grant date fair value based on the closing price on the day before the grant date equal to 120% of his bonus award. These restricted shares are scheduled to vest in a single installment on February 13, 2027. These restricted shares also entitle him to receive dividends associated with the underlying shares.

**Compensation Discussion & Analysis**

Long-Term Incentives — Performance Shares

Approximately 67% of the value of the equity awards granted in 2022 to the NEOs was awarded in the form of performance shares. The performance shares granted in 2022 permit the NEOs to earn vested shares of common stock based on the Company's TSR compared to peers listed in the Bloomberg REIT Shopping Center Index over a three-year performance period, which commences with the year of the grant. The performance shares granted in 2022 also include the right to receive, if and when the underlying shares are earned, the equivalent value (paid in shares without interest) of dividends declared on the earned shares following issuance of the performance shares and before issuance of any earned stock. The 2022 performance shares provide a target number of shares that may be earned in the performance period if the Company's TSR for the period equals the 50th percentile of its peers listed in the Bloomberg REIT Shopping Center Index. The number of performance shares actually earned for the performance period may range between a threshold of 50% of the target number of shares if the Company's TSR for the period is at least in the 25th percentile of its peers listed in the Bloomberg REIT Shopping Center Index and a maximum of 200% of the target number of shares for the period if the Company's TSR for the period equals or exceeds the 85th percentile of its peers listed in the Bloomberg REIT Shopping Center Index.

Linear interpolation is used to determine the shares earned for the performance period if the Company's total stockholder return falls between the specified percentile levels. If the Company's TSR for the performance period is less than the threshold level, no performance shares are earned or issued for the period.

Companies listed in the Bloomberg REIT Shopping Center Index on January 1st of each calendar year (excluding the Company) are the peer group used to determine relative TSR and the number of shares of stock earned with respect to each performance period beginning on January 1, 2022. If a constituent company in the peer group ceases to be actively traded, due, for example, to merger or bankruptcy or the Executive Compensation Committee otherwise reasonably determines that it is no longer suitable, then such company shall be removed from the peer group.

**Compensation Discussion & Analysis**

Additional Compensation Considerations

**Long-Term Incentives – Equity Awards**

The Executive Compensation Committee may accelerate equity vesting upon an NEO's termination at its discretion, including upon a qualifying retirement from the Company. We do not maintain special pension plans for our NEOs because we believe the accelerated vesting of certain equity awards in connection with retirement should offset the lack of such plans, though we generally retain discretion on whether or not to accelerate equity awards in connection with retirement.

If an NEO holding time-based restricted stock is terminated prior to vesting as a result of his death or disability or, with the consent of the Executive Compensation Committee, due to his retirement, or (for participants in the Executive Severance Plan) is terminated by the Company without cause, the employee would generally vest in the unvested stock. Prior to vesting, recipients of restricted stock may vote the shares and also receive dividends. Additionally, upon a qualifying termination of employment, a participant may remain eligible to receive payment for outstanding performance shares upon the achievement of the applicable performance goals and without regard to any continued employment condition.

**Executive Severance Plan – "Double-Trigger" Change in Control Severance Arrangement**

On March 15, 2010, the Executive Compensation Committee adopted the Kimco Realty Corporation Executive Severance Plan (as amended from time to time, the "Executive Severance Plan"), pursuant to which certain of our NEOs are eligible for severance payments if the covered executive's employment is terminated by the Company without "Cause" or, following a change in control, by the executive for "Good Reason" (each as defined in the Executive Severance Plan), subject in all cases to the terms and conditions described in the Executive Severance Plan. Upon a covered termination of employment, a participant will receive two times the sum of (a) the participant's annual base salary and (b) the amount of the participant's annual bonus received in the prior year, payable in equal installments over the two years following the termination or in a lump sum if the termination occurs within two years following a change in control.

The participant will also receive a payment equivalent to 18 months of premium payments for continued participation in the Company's health insurance plans or successor plans (running concurrently with the COBRA period) and accelerated vesting of all unvested annual stock options and restricted stock awards, with the exception of extraordinary awards. In certain circumstances, if a participant would otherwise have incurred excise taxes under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code ("Parachute Payment Taxes"), his or her payments will be reduced to the "safe harbor amount," such that no such excise taxes would be due. The Executive Severance Plan does not provide for any gross-up payments for Parachute Payment Taxes incurred by any participant. Mr. Milton Cooper did not participate in the Company's Executive Severance Plan for 2022.

**Retirement Plans**

We maintain a 401(k)-retirement plan (the "401(k) Plan"), details below. We do not maintain any other retirement plans for our NEOs or employees. The Company does not provide any pension benefits or any nonqualified deferred compensation to its NEOs or employees.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Available to | · Substantially all employees, including our NEOs |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Benefits include | · Participants defer up to a maximum of 100% of their eligible compensation, up to the federal limit<br> · The Company currently makes matching contributions on a dollar-for-dollar basis to all employees who have completed one year of employment with the Company, of up to 5% of the employee's eligible compensation (and subject to a maximum of $8,500 for highly compensated employees).  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Tax impact | · Participants in the 401(k) Plan are not subject to federal and state income tax on salary deferral contributions or Company contributions or on the earnings thereon until such amounts are withdrawn from the 401(k) Plan. <br> · Salary reduction contributions are treated as wages subject to FICA and Medicare tax.<br> · Roth 401(k) feature, which enables participants to defer some or all of their 401(k) contributions on an after-tax rather than pre-tax basis, allowing for tax-free (federal and most state) distributions on both participant contributions and related earnings at retirement. Generally, participation in the Roth 401(k) allows for tax free distributions if the Roth account has been in place for 5 years and the participant has attained age 59½. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Restrictions | · Withdrawals from the 401(k) Plan may only be made upon termination of employment, or in connection with certain provisions of the 401(k) Plan that permit hardship withdrawals, allow in-service distributions and loans, or require minimum distributions. |

**Compensation Discussion & Analysis**

**Tax and Accounting Considerations**

The recognition or deferral of period expense in our financial statements did not factor into the allocation of compensation among base salary, bonus and equity awards for 2022. Cash salary and bonuses are charged as an expense in the period in which the amounts are earned by the NEO. Certain provisions of the Internal Revenue Code may affect compensation decisions. Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, which governs the form and timing of payment of deferred compensation, imposes sanctions, including a 20% penalty and an interest penalty, on the recipient of deferred compensation that does not comply with Section 409A. The Committee takes into account the implications of Section 409A in determining the form and timing of compensation awarded to our executives and strives to structure any nonqualified deferred compensation plans or arrangements to be exempt from or to comply with the requirements of Section 409A.

Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code disallows a company's tax deduction for payments received by certain individuals in connection with a change in control to the extent that the payments exceed an amount approximately equal to three times their average annual compensation, and Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code imposes a 20% excise tax on those payments. The Committee takes into account the implications of Section 280G in determining potential payments to be made to our executives in connection with a change in control. Nevertheless, to the extent that certain payments upon a change in control are classified as excess parachute payments, such payments may not be deductible pursuant to Section 280G.

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code generally disallows a tax deduction to public corporations for compensation over $1 million paid for any fiscal year to the corporation's chief executive officer and certain other executive officers. The Committee has not adopted a policy requiring all executive compensation to be fully deductible and has authorized compensation payments that may be subject to the Section 162(m) limitation.

**Perquisites**

We offered or provided the following material perquisites to our NEOs in 2022:

• We provided Mr. Milton Cooper with the use of a car and driver to travel for Company business and Messrs. Flynn and Jamieson with
the use of a car to conduct their duties as executive officers of the Company. Other employees may use these vehicles for Company business
when not in use by an NEO. In 2022, Messrs. Milton Cooper, Flynn, and Jamieson were allowed to use the car without a driver for personal
use. In 2022, Messrs. Cohen and Ross Cooper received car allowances in the amounts of $10,920 and $12,250, respectively.

• We provide all of our NEOs a limited long-term care benefit of $3,500 per month as part of a group policy. These individuals may elect
to purchase additional long-term care insurance at their own cost.

<sup>(1)</sup> Amounts reflect the compensation cost to the Company in 2022, 2021 and 2020 of the equity awards based on the aggregate grant date fair value calculated in accordance with the provision of FASB ASC 718, excluding the effect of estimated forfeitures. Fair value is determined, depending on the type of award, using the closing price on the date immediately preceding the grant date or the Monte Carlo method, both of which are intended to estimate the fair value of the awards at the grant date. The Monte Carlo method is a methodology that generates a large number of possible outcomes with respect to the variables that will determine the ultimate value of the performance share award–in this case, the Company's TSR over the applicable performance period and the TSR of the companies in the applicable index of peer companies. The assumptions used by the Company in calculating these amounts are incorporated herein by reference to Note 23 to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. The maximum possible value of the 2022 performance shares (200%), based on the closing price per share of the Company's common stock on the date before they were granted ($24.27), was as follows: $1,999,848 for Mr. Milton Cooper; $7,999,877 for Mr. Flynn, and $2,399,818 for Messrs. Ross Cooper, Cohen and Jamieson. For additional information regarding the equity awards granted to the NEOs in 2022, refer to the 2022 Grants of Plan-Based Awards table. For 2020, Messrs. Milton Cooper and Flynn were granted performance shares with a grant date fair value of $895,954 and $3,200,172, respectively and Messrs. Ross Cooper, Cohen and Jamieson were each granted performance shares with a grant date fair value of $992,001, calculated using the Monte Carlo method in accordance with the provision of FASB ASC 718, excluding the effect of estimated forfeitures. As described above under "Compensation Discussion & Analysis–Long-Term Incentive Plan," based on the Company's performance during the applicable performance period, shares were issued in respect to the 2020 performance share awards which were granted on February 16, 2023 with a $21.30 closing price and Messrs. Milton Cooper and Flynn each realized a value in respect of these awards in the amount of $2,288,046 and $8,172,533, respectively, and Messrs. Ross Cooper, Cohen and Jamieson realized a value in respect of these awards in the amount of $2,533,358, including dividend equivalents earned on the awarded 2020 performance shares.

<sup>(2)</sup> In 2022, Messrs. Cohen and Ross Cooper received car allowances in the amount of $10,920 and $12,250, respectively. The Company provided Mr. Milton Cooper with the use of a car and driver to travel for Company business and Messrs. Flynn and Jamieson with the use of a car to conduct their duties as an executive officer of the Company. The NEOs' drivers are employees who have additional responsibilities at the Company. The Company calculated the cost of the perquisite based on standard mileage rate and miles driven by the NEO for personal use. Accordingly, the aggregate incremental cost of this perquisite to the Company in 2022 for Messrs. Milton Cooper, Flynn, and Jamieson was $246, $4,914 and $702, respectively. The policy on the use of the cars for 2022, 2021 and 2020 is outlined below:

• the cars and drivers were available, when not in use by the foregoing executive officers, for other employees conducting Company business;

• these services were also available under certain circumstances to third parties involved in Company business at the Company's Jericho location;

• the cars and drivers were used from time to time for deliveries and other transportation of documents or other materials; and

• the cars were available to these officers with drivers for business related travel and without drivers for personal use.

The Company's policy on paid time off provides employees who have attained 10 years of service one week of pay in lieu of one additional week of paid time off annually. Messrs. Flynn, Ross Cooper, Cohen, and Jamieson each received such payment in the amount of $19,231, $13,462, $12,981 and $12,981, respectively. Mr. Milton Cooper is excluded from this paid time off benefit. The Company's policy on service provides employees who have attained certain service milestones a one-time payment of $100 times the number of service years, i.e. five years earns $500. In 2022, Mr. Jamieson received a $1,500 payment in recognition for attaining the 15-year service milestone. The Company paid $270 in respect to a subscription of LifeLock for identity protection services for Mr. Flynn. The Company also provided all of our NEOs a limited long-term care benefit of $3,500 per month as part of a group policy. The annual premium on this benefit for Messrs. Milton Cooper, Flynn, Ross Cooper, Cohen, and Jamieson was $3,486, $118, $126, $193 and $134, respectively.

<sup>(3)</sup> Mr. Milton Cooper elected to be paid his 2021 annual bonus payment in the form of shares of restricted stock with a grant date fair value equal to 120% of his bonus amount based on the closing price per share of the Company's common stock on the date immediately preceding the date of grant and was awarded 79,110 shares on February 17, 2022 that vest on February 13, 2027, subject to continued employment with the Company on the applicable vesting date. The amount shown includes $320,000, which represents the grant date fair value calculated in accordance with the provision of FASB ASC 718, excluding the effect of estimated forfeitures, of the number of restricted shares with a grant date fair value of 20% of Mr. Milton Cooper's 2021 annual bonus payment. For additional information regarding this equity award, refer to the 2022 Grants of Plan-Based Awards table.

<sup>(4)</sup> Mr. Milton Cooper elected to be paid his 2022 annual bonus payment in the form of shares of restricted stock with a grant date fair value equal to 120% of his bonus amount based on the closing price per share of the Company's common stock on the date immediately preceding the date of grant and was awarded 92,180 shares on February 16, 2023 that vest on February 13, 2028, subject to continued employment with the Company on the applicable vesting date.

**<sup>(1)</sup>** **Amounts reported as Total Earned Compensation differ substantially from the amounts determined under SEC rules as reported in the Total column of the Summary Compensation Table for 2022. Total Earned Compensation is not a substitute for Total Compensation as reported in the Summary Compensation Table. Total Earned Compensation represents: (1) Total Compensation, as calculated under applicable SEC rules, minus (2) the aggregate grant date fair value of equity awards (as reflected in the Stock Awards columns of the Summary Compensation Table for 2022) plus (3) the market value of any equity awards that were earned in the applicable year but distributed the following year after they were earned and including accumulated dividends (such awards are disclosed in the following year's proxy statement). For more information on Total Compensation under the SEC rules, see the narrative and notes accompanying the Summary Compensation Table for 2022 above.**

<sup>(1)</sup> The actual payout amounts are set out in the Summary Compensation Table for 2022.

<sup>(2)</sup> Each of the NEOs received a time-vesting restricted stock award on February 17, 2022 under the 2020 Equity Participation Plan. Restricted stock awards vest in 20% increments on February 13th of the first, second, third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the grant date, subject to continued employment with the Company on the applicable vesting date, except that Messrs. Milton Cooper, Flynn, Ross Cooper and Cohen elected for their respective stock awards to instead vest in a single installment on February 13th of the fifth anniversary of the grant date, subject to continued employment with the Company on the applicable vesting date.

<sup>(3)</sup> All awards were granted under the 2020 Equity Participation Plan. Fair value is determined, depending on the type of award, using the Monte Carlo method or the closing price per share of the Company's common stock on the date immediately preceding the grant date, which are intended to estimate the grant date fair value of the performance shares and restricted stock, respectively. The assumptions used by the Company in calculating these amounts are incorporated herein by reference to Note 23 to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

<sup>(4)</sup> Mr. Milton Cooper elected to receive all or a portion of his 2021 annual bonus payment in the form of shares of restricted stock with a grant date fair value based on the closing price on the date immediately preceding the grant date equal to 120% of his bonus award. The amount represents the number of restricted shares with a grant date fair value of 20% of Mr. Milton Cooper's 2021 elected conversion amount.

<sup>(5)</sup> Messrs. Ross Cooper and Jamieson were awarded 41,200 shares of restricted stock on February 17, 2022. These awards vest in a single installment on February 13th of the fifth anniversary of the grant date, subject to continued employment with the Company on the applicable vesting date.

<sup>(1)</sup> Represents stock options.

<sup>(2)</sup> Represents performance share awards granted in 2021 and 2022 for which the applicable performance period has not been completed. Each performance share award granted in 2020 provided for the ability to earn and receive shares after the end of a three-year performance period based on the Company's total stockholder return in the applicable performance period compared to peers listed in the Bloomberg REIT Shopping Center Index. The Company's total stockholder return for the 2020-2022 performance period was in the 84 4/10th percentile of its peer group. Therefore, each NEO earned a number of shares representing 197% of the performance share award granted to them in 2020. Each performance share award granted in 2021 and 2022 provides for the ability to earn and receive shares after the end of a three-year performance period based on the Company's total stockholder return in the applicable performance period compared to peers listed in the Bloomberg REIT Shopping Center Index. Shares of stock issued with respect to earned performance share awards are fully vested at issuance.

**Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control**

Please see page 33 "Additional Compensation Considerations – Executive Severance Plan – 'Double-Trigger' Change in Control Severance Arrangement" above for a discussion of certain compensation and benefits which our NEOs would receive upon a termination or change in control. None of the NEOs have "single trigger" arrangements that entitle them to benefits solely due to a change in control. However, upon a change in control, if an equity award is assumed or substituted in the change in control and the holder experiences a qualifying termination of service on or within 12 months following the change in control, the award will automatically vest in full. If an award is not assumed or substituted in a change in control, the Committee may cause such awards to become fully vested. Furthermore, upon a change in control, our performance share awards would be evaluated based on a shortened performance period ending on the date of the change in control, and any resulting restricted stock would, if not assumed in the change in control, automatically vest in full.

**Employment Agreements**

The Company does not have any individual employment agreements with its executive officers.

**Assumed Termination Without Cause**

The following table was prepared as though each of the NEOs had been terminated without Cause on December 31, 2022. The assumptions and valuations are noted in the footnotes to the table.

In addition, upon a termination without Cause or due to retirement or upon resignation for "Good Reason" (as defined in the applicable award agreement), each of the NEOs would remain eligible to earn and be issued the outstanding performance shares, and the actual number of shares earned and issued would depend on the Company's total stockholder return during the applicable performance periods. Assuming performance at maximum level and based on the market price of our stock on December 31, 2022 ($21.18), the total performance share values, disregarding any discount for the time-value of money, would be $3,965,320 for Mr. Milton Cooper, $14,909,450 for Mr. Flynn, $4,552,005 for Messrs.

**Executive Compensation Tables**

**Equity Participation Plan**

**Description of Plan**

The Company maintains the Amended and Restated 2020 Equity Participation Plan for the benefit of its eligible employees, consultants, and directors. The Amended and Restated 2020 Equity Participation Plan is the successor to the 2010 Equity Participation Plan, which expired in March 2020.

The Amended and Restated 2020 Equity Participation Plan authorizes the Executive Compensation Committee to provide equity and/or cash compensation, incentives and awards in the form of stock options, restricted stock, performance shares, dividend equivalents, stock payments, deferred stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights ("SARs"), partnership interests in Kimco Realty OP, LLC other stock- based awards and performance-based awards (which may be payable in either the form of cash or shares of common stock) structured by the Executive Compensation Committee within parameters set forth in the Amended and Restated 2020 Equity Participation Plan, for the purpose of providing the Company's officers, employees and consultants equity and/or cash compensation, incentives and rewards for superior performance. Key features of the Amended and Restated 2020 Equity Participation Plan that reflect the Company's commitment to effective management of incentive compensation include:

**Limitations On Grants**

The number of shares of common stock that may be issued or transferred by the Company, including upon the exercise of incentive stock options may not exceed 10,000,000 in the aggregate, subject to certain adjustments, events and limitations described in the Amended and Restated 2020 Equity Participation Plan.

**No Repricing or Replacement of Options or SARs**

The Amended and Restated 2020 Equity Participation Plan prohibits, without stockholder approval: (i) the amendment of options or SARs to reduce the exercise price and (ii) the replacement of an option or SAR with cash or any other award when the price per share of the option or SAR exceeds the fair market value of the underlying shares of common stock.

**No In-The-Money Option or SAR Grants**

The Amended and Restated 2020 Equity Participation Plan prohibits the grant of options or SARs with an exercise or base price less than the fair market value of the common stock, generally the closing price of the common stock, on the date of grant.

**Independent Administration**

The Executive Compensation Committee, which consists of only independent directors, administers the Amended and Restated 2020 Equity Participation Plan.

**Equity Compensation Plan Information**

The following table sets forth certain information regarding the Company's equity compensation plans as of December 31, 2022.

|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| Plan Category | (a) Number of Securities to be<br> issued upon exercise of <br> outstanding options, warrants<br> and rights | (b) Weighted-average exercise<br> price of outstanding options, <br> warrants and rights | (c) Number of securities<br> remaining available for<br> future issuance under equity <br> compensation plans (excluding <br> securities reflected in column<br> (a)) |

| Equity compensation plans not approved by stockholders | N/A | N/A | N/A |
| Total | 282134 | 22.13 | 6875210 |

**CEO Pay Ratio**

We have estimated the ratio between our CEO's total annual compensation and the median annual total compensation of all employees (except the CEO) for 2022. In determining the median employee we considered taxable compensation totals in 2022. We identified the "Median Employee" based on the taxable compensation of all full-time, part-time, and temporary employees employed by us on December 31, 2022. Then, we calculated the Median Employee's compensation under the Summary Compensation Table rules. Our CEO in 2022, Mr. Flynn, had annual total compensation of $11,630,048 and our Median Employee had annual total compensation of $106,905. Therefore, we estimate that our CEO's annual total compensation in 2022 is 109 times that of the median of the annual total compensation of all of our employees.

Narrative Disclosure to Pay Versus Performance Table

Relationship Between Financial Performance Measures

The graphs below compare the compensation actually paid to our PEO and the average of the compensation actually paid to our remaining NEOs, with (i) our cumulative TSR and our Peer Group TSR, (ii) our net income, and (iii) our Adjusted FFO per diluted share, in each case, for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022.

TSR amounts reported in the graph assume an initial fixed investment of $100, and that all dividends, if any, were reinvested.

Pay Versus Performance Tabular List

We believe the following performance measures represent the most important financial performance measures used by us to link compensation actually paid to our NEOs for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022:

• Peer Group TSR over a three year performance period;

• Adjusted FFO per diluted share;

• EBITDA; and

• Leverage

**Proposal 3: Advisory Vote on the Frequency of Future Say-on-Pay Votes**

Proposal 3: Advisory Vote on the Frequency of

Future Say-on-Pay Votes

In accordance with the Dodd-Frank Act, we are providing our stockholders with a non-binding advisory vote on whether future advisory votes on executive compensation of the nature reflected in Proposal 2 above should occur every year, every two years or every three years.

After careful consideration, the Board of Directors recommends that stockholders vote for "EVERY YEAR" as the frequency of future Say-on-Pay votes. Annual advisory votes on executive compensation allow our stockholders to provide us with their direct input on our compensation philosophy, policies and practices as disclosed in the proxy statement each year and are consistent with our policy of seeking input from, and engaging in discussions with, our stockholders on corporate governance matters and our executive compensation philosophy, policies and practices.

Stockholders may indicate their preferred voting frequency by choosing the option of every year, every two years or every three years, or stockholders may abstain from voting. Stockholders are not voting to approve or disapprove the Board of Directors' recommendation, and should instead select their preferred voting frequency. This advisory vote on the frequency of future Say-on-Pay votes is not binding on the Company and the Board of Directors.

Although the vote is advisory and non-binding, the Board of Directors will carefully consider the outcome of the vote. Notwithstanding the outcome of the vote or the Board of Directors' recommendation, the Board of Directors may decide to conduct future Say-on-Pay votes on a more or less frequent basis and may vary its practice based upon any relevant factors including discussions with the Company's stockholders or material changes to the Company's executive compensation programs.

**Vote Required**

The option of every year, every two years or every three years that receives a majority of the votes cast on the proposal will be the frequency for future Say-on-Pay votes that is recommended by our stockholders. In the event that no option receives a majority of the votes cast, we will consider the option that receives the most votes to be the option recommended by stockholders. For purposes of this advisory vote, abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the result of the vote.

The Board unanimously recommends that you vote for "every year" as the recommended frequency for future "Say-on-Pay" votes.

**Audit Committee Report**

Audit Committee Report

The Audit Committee (the "Audit Committee") of the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Kimco Realty Corporation, a Maryland corporation (the "Company"), is responsible for providing objective oversight of the Company's financial accounting and reporting functions, system of internal control and audit process. During 2022, all of the directors who served on the Audit Committee were independent as defined under the current listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange. The Audit Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board. A copy of the Audit Committee Charter is available in the Investor Relations section of the Company's website located at www.kimcorealty.com and is available in print to any stockholder who requests it.

Management of the Company is responsible for the Company's system of internal control and its financial reporting process. The independent registered public accountants, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, are responsible for performing an independent integrated audit of the Company's consolidated financial statements and its internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and to issue a report thereon. The Audit Committee is responsible for the monitoring and oversight of these processes as well as other risk management issues described on page 9.

In connection with these responsibilities, the Audit Committee met with management and the Company's independent registered public accounting firm to review and discuss the December 31, 2022 audited consolidated financial statements and the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. The Audit Committee also discussed with the independent registered public accountants the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Audit Committee also received written disclosures and the letter from the independent registered public accountants required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountant's communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and the Audit Committee discussed with the independent registered public accountants their independence.

Based upon the Audit Committee's discussions with management and the independent registered public accountants and the Audit Committee's review of the December 31, 2022 audited consolidated financial statements and the representations of management and required communications from the Company's independent registered public accountants, the Audit Committee recommended that the Board include the audited consolidated financial statements in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

**Proposal 4: Ratification of Independent Accountants**

**Proposal 4: Ratification of Independent Accountants**

The Audit Committee has appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2023. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP has been retained as the Company's external auditor continuously since 1986. In order to assure continuing auditor independence, the Audit Committee periodically considers whether there should be a regular rotation of the independent registered public accounting firm. Additionally, in conjunction with the mandated rotation of the independent registered public accounting firm's lead engagement partner, the Audit Committee and its chairperson are directly involved in the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP's new lead engagement partner. The members of the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors believe that the continued retention of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to serve as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm is in the best interests of the Company.

There are no affiliations between the Company and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, its partners, associates or employees, other than pertaining to its engagement as independent registered public accountants for the Company in previous years. Representatives of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP are expected to be present at the Meeting and will be given the opportunity to make a statement if they so desire and to respond to appropriate questions. The following table provides information relating to the fees billed to the Company by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;TYPE OF FEES | 2022 | 2021 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Audit Fees<sup>(1)</sup> | $2444600 | $3091723 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Audit-Related Fees<sup>(2)</sup> | $71500 | $65000 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Tax Fees | - | - |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;All Other Fees | $2600 | $2600 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Total | $2518700 | $3159323 |

---

<sup>(1)</sup> Audit fees include all fees for services in connection with (i) the annual integrated audit of the Company's fiscal 2022 and 2021 financial statements and internal control over financial reporting included in its annual reports on Form 10-K, (ii) the review of the financial statements included in the Company's quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, (iii) as applicable, the consents and other required letters issued in connection with debt and equity offerings and the filing of the Company's shelf registration statement, current reports on Form 8-K and proxy statements during 2022 and 2021, (iv) the Merger, (v) ongoing consultations regarding accounting for new transactions and pronouncements and (vi) out of pocket expenses.

<sup>(2)</sup> Audit-related fees consists of fees billed for audit and testing procedures relating to the green bond attestation report.

**Policy on Audit Committee Pre-approval of Audit and Non-audit Services of Independent Registered Public Accountants**

The Audit Committee is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of the independent registered public accounting firm retained to audit the Company's financial statements. The Audit Committee is responsible for the audit fee negotiations associated with the Company's retention of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. The Audit Committee has established a policy regarding pre- approval of all audit and non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accountants.

On an ongoing basis, management communicates specific projects and categories of services for which the advance approval of the Audit Committee is requested. The Audit Committee reviews these requests and advises management if the Audit Committee approves the engagement of the independent registered public accountants. On a periodic basis, management reports to the Audit Committee regarding the actual spending for such projects and services as compared to the approved amounts. The Audit committee may also delegate the ability to pre-approve audit and permitted non-audit services to a subcommittee consisting of one or more members, provided that such pre-approvals are reported on at a subsequent Audit Committee meeting. All services performed for 2022 and 2021 were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

**Vote Required**

The ratification of the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2023 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the proposal. For purposes of this proposal, abstentions will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the result of the vote. Because brokers have discretionary voting authority with regard to this proposal under the rules of the NYSE, we do not expect any broker non-votes in connection with this proposal.

The Board and the Audit Committee unanimously recommend that you vote "for" the ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP.

**Information About the Annual Meeting**

Information About the Annual Meeting

We are providing you with this Proxy Statement in connection with the solicitation of proxies to be exercised at the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Meeting") of Kimco Realty Corporation, a Maryland corporation. This Proxy Statement contains important information regarding the Meeting, the proposals which you are being asked to consider and vote upon, information you may find useful in determining how to vote, and information about voting procedures.

Why You are Receiving These Materials

Holders of our common stock at the close of business on February 28, 2023, the record date, may attend and vote at the Meeting. We refer to the holders of our common stock as "stockholders" throughout this Proxy Statement. Each stockholder is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held as of the close of business on the record date. At the close of business on the record date there were 619,891,811 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. The presence at the Meeting, in person or by proxy, of holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock entitled to be voted at the Meeting will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Meeting.

Broker non-votes (as defined below) and abstentions will be counted for purposes of calculating whether a quorum is present at the Meeting.

How to Vote

If you received your proxy materials by mail, you should have received a proxy card enclosed with the Proxy Statement. Stockholders can vote in person (virtually) at the Meeting or by authorizing a proxy. There are three ways to authorize a proxy to vote your shares:

**BY TELEPHONE** - Stockholders located in the United States that received proxy materials by mail can authorize a proxy by telephone by calling 1-800-690-6903 and following the instructions on the enclosed proxy card;

**BY INTERNET** - Stockholders can authorize a proxy over the Internet at <u>www.proxyvote.com</u> by following the instructions on the enclosed proxy card or Notice of Internet Availability (as defined on the next page); or

**BY MAIL** - Stockholders that received proxy materials by mail can authorize a proxy by mail by signing, dating, and mailing the enclosed proxy card.

Telephone and Internet authorization methods for stockholders of record will be available 24 hours a day and will close at 11:59 p.m. (Eastern Time) on April 24, 2023.

If your shares are held in the name of a broker, bank or other holder of record (in "street name"), you will receive instructions from the holder of record. You must follow the instructions of the holder of record in order for your shares to be voted. Telephone and Internet proxy authorization also will be offered to stockholders owning shares through certain banks and brokers.

If you authorize a proxy to vote your shares, the individuals named on the proxy card or authorized by you by telephone or Internet (your "proxies") will vote your shares in the manner you indicate. If you sign and return the proxy card or authorize your proxies by telephone or internet without indicating your instructions, your shares will be voted in a manner consistent with the Board's voting recommendations.

To be voted, proxies must be filed with the Secretary of the Company prior to the Meeting. Proxies may be revoked at any time before exercise at the Meeting (i) by filing a notice of such revocation with the Secretary of the Company, (ii) by filing a later- dated proxy with the Secretary of the Company or (iii) by voting in person (virtually) at the Meeting. Virtual attendance at the Meeting will not automatically revoke a previously authorized proxy, unless you vote again.

If you own shares through a broker or other nominee in street name, you may instruct your broker or other nominee as to how to vote your shares. A "broker non-vote" occurs when you fail to provide a broker or other nominee with voting instructions and a broker or other nominee does not have the discretionary authority to vote your shares on a particular matter because the matter is not a routine matter under the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") rules. The proposal to approve the ratification of the appointment of independent auditors is considered a ''discretionary'' item. This means that brokerage firms may vote in their discretion on this matter on behalf of clients who have not furnished voting instructions. In contrast, the election of directors, the advisory resolution to approve executive compensation and the advisory vote on the frequency of future Say-on-Pay votes are ''non-discretionary'' items. This means brokerage firms that have not received voting instructions from their clients on these proposals may not vote on them. These so-called ''broker non-votes'' will be included in the calculation of the number of votes considered to be present at the meeting for purposes of determining a quorum, but will not be considered in determining the number of votes necessary for approval and will have no effect on the outcome of the vote for the election of directors, the advisory resolution to approve executive compensation and the advisory vote to approve the frequency of future Say-on-Pay votes.

The vote required for each proposal is listed below:

---

| | | | |

| **Proposal 4** | Advisory vote on the frequency ("Say-on-Frequency") of future Say-on-Pay votes | Majority of the votes cast on the proposal | No |

For each of Proposals 1, 2 and 3, you may vote FOR, AGAINST or ABSTAIN. For Proposal 4, you may vote for either, Every Year, Every Two Years, Every Three Years, or ABSTAIN. Abstentions and broker non-votes are not votes cast and will have no effect on the result of the vote for Proposals 1, 2, 3 and 4.

Eliminating Duplicative Proxy Materials

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's rules permit us to deliver a single Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the "Notice of Internet Availability") or single set of proxy materials to one address shared by two or more of our stockholders. We have delivered only one Notice of Internet Availability, Proxy Statement, or annual report, as applicable, to multiple stockholders who share an address, unless we received contrary instructions from any of the impacted stockholders prior to the mailing date. We will promptly deliver, upon written or oral request, a separate copy of the Notice of Internet Availability, Proxy Statement, or annual report, as applicable, to any stockholder at a shared address to which a single copy of those documents was delivered. In the future, if you prefer to receive separate copies of the Notice of Internet Availability, Proxy Statement or annual report, as applicable, contact Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. at 1-866-540-7095 or in writing at 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, NY 11717, Attention: Householding Department. If you are currently a stockholder sharing an address with another stockholder and are receiving more than one Notice of Internet Availability, Proxy Statement or annual report, as applicable, and wish to receive only one copy of future Notices of Internet Availability, proxy statements or annual reports, as applicable, for your household, please contact Broadridge at the above phone number or address.

Solicitation of Proxies

This solicitation is made by the Company on behalf of the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board of Directors" or the "Board"). Costs of this solicitation will be borne by the Company. Directors, officers, employees and agents of the Company and its affiliates may also solicit proxies by telephone, fax, e-mail, or personal interview. The Company will reimburse banks, brokerage firms and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for reasonable expenses incurred by them in sending proxy materials to stockholders. The Company will pay fees of approximately $14,000 to Alliance Advisors, L.L.C. for soliciting proxies on behalf of the Company.

Other Business

All shares represented by the accompanying proxy will be voted in accordance with the proxy. The Company knows of no other business which will come before the Meeting for action. However, as to any such business, the persons authorized to act as proxies will have authority to act in their discretion.

**Annex A**

Annex A

Funds From Operations ("FFO") is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure utilized to evaluate the operating performance of real estate companies. 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. The Company also made an election, per the Nareit Funds From Operations White Paper-2018 Restatement, to exclude from its calculation of FFO (i) gains and losses on the sale of assets and impairments of assets incidental to its main business and (ii) mark-to-market changes in the value of its equity securities. As such, the Company does not include gains/impairments on land parcels, gains/losses from marketable securities, allowance for credit losses on mortgage receivables or gains/impairments on preferred equity participations in Nareit defined FFO.

The Company presents FFO available to the Company's common shareholders as it considers it an important supplemental measure of its operating performance and believes it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO available to the Company's common shareholders when reporting results. Comparison of our presentation of FFO available to the Company's common shareholders to similarly titled measures for other REITs may not necessarily be meaningful due to possible differences in the application of the Nareit definition used by such REITs. FFO is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure of real estate companies' operating performances, which does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and, therefore, should not be considered an alternative for net income or cash flows from operations as a measure of liquidity.

Additionally, we present in the reconciliation below, Adjusted FFO, one of the Company-defined financial metrics used in our annual incentive program. We calculate Adjusted FFO (a non-GAAP financial measure within the meaning of the rules of the SEC) starting with the calculation of FFO as described previously and excluding the effects of certain transactional income and expenses.

<sup>(1)</sup> Related to gains, impairments, depreciation on properties and gains/(losses) on sales of marketable securities, where applicable.

<sup>(2)</sup> Reflects the potential impact if certain units were converted to common stock at the beginning of the period. FFO available to the Company's common shareholders would be increased by $2,041 and $1,053 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The effect of other certain convertible units would have an anti-dilutive effect upon the calculation of FFO available to the Company's common shareholders per share. Accordingly, the impact of such conversion has not been included in the determination of diluted earnings per share calculations.

<sup>(3)</sup> Consists of Early extinguishment of debt charges recognized during the year ended December 31, 2022.

<sup>(4)</sup> Consists of merger-related charges net of pension valuation adjustments in association with the Weingarten Realty Investors merger.

**Annex A**

EBITDA (a non-GAAP financial measure within the meaning of the rules of the SEC) is generally calculated by the company as net income/(loss) before interest, depreciation and amortization, provision/benefit for income taxes, gains/losses on sale of operating properties, losses/gains on change of control, profit participation from other investments, pension valuation adjustments, gains/losses on marketable securities and impairment charges.

Our method of calculating EBITDA may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. We believe that EBITDA is an important metric in determining the success of our business as a real estate owner and operator. See the reconciliation to the applicable GAAP measure below.

In addition, we present a ratio of Net Debt to EBITDA, which is calculated using the non-GAAP measures: (1) Total debt outstanding, reduced by the Company's cash and cash equivalents, and (2) Annualized EBITDA, each as reconciled to the applicable GAAP measures below.
