**EXPLANATORY NOTE**

This report combines the annual reports on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 of Urban Edge Properties and Urban Edge Properties LP. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to "UE" and "Urban Edge" mean Urban Edge Properties, a Maryland real estate investment trust ("REIT"), and references to "UELP" and the "Operating Partnership" mean Urban Edge Properties LP, a Delaware limited partnership. References to the "Company," "we," "us" and "our" mean collectively UE, UELP and those entities/subsidiaries consolidated by UE.

UELP is the entity through which we conduct substantially all of our business and own, either directly or through subsidiaries, substantially all of our assets. UE is the sole general partner and also a limited partner of UELP. As the sole general partner of UELP, UE has exclusive control of UELP's day-to-day management.

As of December 31, 2022, UE owned an approximate 96.1% ownership interest in UELP. The remaining approximate 3.9% interest is owned by other limited partners. The other limited partners of UELP are members of management, our Board of Trustees and contributors of property interests acquired. Under the limited partnership agreement of UELP, unitholders may present their common units of UELP for redemption at any time (subject to restrictions agreed upon at the time of issuance of the units that may restrict such right for a period of time). Upon presentation of a common unit for redemption, UELP must redeem the unit for cash equal to the then value of a share of UE's common shares, as defined by the limited partnership agreement. In lieu of cash redemption by UELP, however, UE may elect to acquire any common units so tendered by issuing common shares of UE in exchange for the common units. If UE so elects, its common shares will be exchanged for common units on a one-for-one basis. This one-for-one exchange ratio is subject to specified adjustments to prevent dilution. UE generally expects that it will elect to issue its common shares in connection with each such presentation for redemption rather than having UELP pay cash. With each such exchange or redemption, UE's percentage ownership in UELP will increase. In addition, whenever UE issues common shares other than to acquire common units of UELP, UE must contribute any net proceeds it receives to UELP and UELP must issue to UE an equivalent number of common units of UELP. This structure is commonly referred to as an umbrella partnership REIT, or UPREIT.

The Company believes that combining the annual reports on Form 10-K of UE and UELP into this single report provides the following benefits:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• enhances investors' understanding of UE and UELP by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• eliminates duplicative disclosure and provides a more streamlined and readable presentation because a substantial portion of the disclosure applies to both UE and UELP; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• creates time and cost efficiencies throughout the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.

The Company believes it is important to understand the few differences between UE and UELP in the context of how UE and UELP operate as a consolidated company. The financial results of UELP are consolidated into the financial statements of UE. UE does not have any other significant assets, liabilities or operations, other than its investment in UELP, nor does it have employees of its own. UELP, not UE, generally executes all significant business relationships other than transactions involving the securities of UE. UELP holds substantially all of the assets of UE and retains the ownership interests in the Company's joint ventures. UELP conducts the operations of the business and is structured as a partnership with no publicly traded equity. Except for the net proceeds from equity offerings by UE, which are contributed to the capital of UELP in exchange for units of limited partnership in UELP, as applicable, UELP generates all remaining capital required by the Company's business. These sources may include working capital, net cash provided by operating activities, borrowings under the revolving credit agreement, the issuance of secured and unsecured debt and equity securities and proceeds received from the disposition of certain properties.

Shareholders' equity, partners' capital and noncontrolling interests ("NCI") are the main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of UE and UELP. The limited partners of UELP are accounted for as partners' capital in UELP's financial statements and as noncontrolling interests in UE's financial statements. The noncontrolling interests in UELP's financial statements include the interests of unaffiliated partners in consolidated entities. The noncontrolling interests in UE's financial statements include the same noncontrolling interests at UELP's level and limited partners of UELP. The differences between shareholders' equity and partners' capital result from differences in the equity issued at UE and UELP levels.

To help investors better understand the key differences between UE and UELP, certain information for UE and UELP in this report has been separated, as set forth below: Part II, Item 8. Financial Statements which includes specific disclosures for UE and UELP, and <u>[Note 14](#i4f1f2869c5794d719c537ad865dff504_133)</u>, Equity and Noncontrolling Interests and <u>[Note 16](#i4f1f2869c5794d719c537ad865dff504_142)</u>, Earnings Per Share and Unit.

This report also includes separate Part II, Item 9A. Controls and Procedures sections and separate Exhibits 31 and 32 certifications for each of UE and UELP in order to establish that the requisite certifications have been made and that UE and UELP are compliant with Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and 18 U.S.C. §1350.

**PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION**

**ITEM 1.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**BUSINESS**

**The Company**

Urban Edge Properties ("UE", "Urban Edge" or the "Company") (NYSE: UE) is a Maryland REIT that manages, develops, redevelops, and acquires retail real estate, primarily in the Washington, D.C. to Boston corridor. Urban Edge Properties LP ("UELP" or the "Operating Partnership") is a Delaware limited partnership formed to serve as UE's majority-owned partnership subsidiary and to own, through affiliates, all of our real estate and other assets.

------

**Company Strategies**

Our goal is to be a leading owner and operator of retail real estate in major urban markets, with a focus on the Washington, D.C. to Boston corridor. We believe urban markets offer attractive acquisition and redevelopment opportunities resulting from high population density, strong demand from consumers, above average retailer sales trends, a limited supply of institutional quality assets and a large number of older, undermanaged assets that remain privately owned. We seek to create value through the following primary strategies:

*Maximize the value of existing properties through proactive management.* We intend to maximize the value of each of our assets through comprehensive, proactive management encompassing: continuous asset evaluation for highest-and-best-use; targeted leasing to desirable tenants; and efficient and cost-conscious day-to-day operations that minimize operating expenses and enhance property quality. Repurposing retail real estate with high-quality retailers, with a focus on grocers, and incorporating other uses including industrial, residential, self-storage, and medical, are increasingly important to our business plan. Leasing and asset management add value through:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Monitoring retailer sales, merchandising, store operations, timeliness of payments, overall financial condition and related factors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Being consistently aware of each asset's competitive position within its trade area and recommending physical improvements or adjusting merchandising if circumstances warrant;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Continuously canvassing trade areas to identify unique operators that can distinguish a property and enhance its offerings;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Maintaining regular contact with the brokerage community to stay abreast of new merchants, potential relocations, new supply and overall trade area dynamics;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Conducting regular portfolio reviews with key merchants;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Building and nurturing deep relationships with tenant decision-makers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Focusing on spaces with below-market leases that might be recaptured;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Understanding the impact of options, exclusives, co-tenancy and other restrictive lease provisions; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Optimizing required capital investment in every transaction.

*Develop and redevelop assets to their highest and best use.* Our existing portfolio presents considerable opportunity to generate additional income at attractive returns by redeveloping underutilized existing space, developing new space through expanding our properties and developing pad sites, and incorporating non-retail uses such as industrial, multifamily, office, self-storage and other uses. As of December 31, 2022, we have $216 million of active development, redevelopment, and anchor repositioning projects, of which $159.7 million remains to be funded. These projects are expected to generate an approximate 12% unleveraged yield. We will continue to explore opportunities throughout our portfolio to achieve similar upgrades in tenancy, to densify sites where feasible and to repurpose certain retail space to non-retail uses.

*Invest in target markets.* We intend to selectively deploy capital through acquisitions in our target markets that meet our criteria for risk-adjusted returns and enhance the overall quality of our existing portfolio. At the same time, we plan to sell assets that no longer meet our return requirements and strategic objectives. Investment considerations for acquisitions include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Competition and Barriers-to-Entry*: We seek assets in underserved, high barrier-to-entry markets in densely populated, affluent trade areas. We believe that properties located in such markets present a more attractive risk-return profile relative to other markets.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Geography*: We focus primarily on the Washington, D.C. to Boston corridor. We intend to invest in our existing core markets, and, over time, may expand into new markets that have similar characteristics.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Environmental*: We consider asset sustainability and characteristics that are consistent with our environmental, social and governance ("ESG") plans and strategy for the future. Our due diligence process includes a full assessment of potential environmental risks associated with acquisitions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Product*: We generally seek large properties that provide scale relative to the competition and optionality for redevelopment to meet the changing demands of the local community.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Tenancy*: We consider tenant mix, sales performance and related occupancy cost, lease term, lease provisions, omni-channel capabilities, susceptibility to e-commerce disruption and other factors. Our tenant base comprises a diverse group of merchants, including department stores, supermarkets, discounters, entertainment offerings, health clubs, DIY stores, in-line specialty shops, restaurants and other food and beverage vendors and service providers.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Rent*: We derive our revenue from fixed and variable rents from our tenants. We consider existing rents relative to market rents and target submarkets that have potential for market rent growth as evidenced by strong retailer sales performance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Access and Visibility*: We seek assets with convenient access and good visibility.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Physical Condition*: We consider aesthetics, functionality, building and site conditions and environmental matters in evaluating asset quality.

*Maintain capital discipline.* We intend to keep our balance sheet flexible and capable of supporting growth. We expect to generate increasing levels of cash flow from internally generated funds and to have substantial borrowing capacity under our existing revolving credit agreement, general access to equity markets and from potential secured debt financing on our existing assets.

**Environmental, Social and Governance Achievements, Initiatives, and Objectives**

We seek to drive financial performance while engaging in environmentally and socially responsible business practices grounded in sound corporate governance. We believe that disclosure of our ESG practices allows our stakeholders to see our company holistically and understand its trajectory beyond fundamentals and financial metrics. We have an ESG Steering Committee (the "Steering Committee") comprised of executives, senior leadership and other personnel of the Company. The Steering Committee meets periodically and is focused on setting, implementing, tracking, measuring, and communicating our progress related to ESG initiatives. The Steering Committee has developed a comprehensive suite of environmental, social, and governance policies that inform and guide our ESG approach and drive our ESG goals forward. We have aligned our sustainability practices in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative ("GRI") standards and commensurate with the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board ("SASB") and the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures ("TCFD") frameworks. On an annual basis, we publish an ESG Report and complete a Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmarks ("GRESB") submission to continue to measure our progress against peers. We routinely reassess our plans and policies to evaluate compliance with regional and national requirements as well as industry best practices.

*Environmental* 

From an environmental perspective, we have implemented and plan to continue to implement policies and practices with the goal of supporting the continued reduction of energy (thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions), water, and waste production across the portfolio. Initiatives we have taken include the installation of energy-efficient roofing, LED lighting retrofits, high efficiency HVAC systems, electric vehicle charging stations and waste recycling and management. Additionally, we continue to explore solar and alternative energy opportunities to further reduce our consumption and carbon footprint. We are committed to maintaining sustainable operations and believe that our long-term sustainability goals will provide positive financial and environmental outcomes for shareholders, tenants, employees and the communities in which we invest.

*Social*

Our community involvement includes donations to various charitable organizations, hospitals, and relief funds as well as food and clothing drives. Many of these organizations and drives directly benefit the people and neighborhoods in which our properties are located. During 2022, the Company joined the NCSY Relief Missions, a Northern New Jersey based youth organization, in an immersive community engagement effort to help those affected by recent hurricane damage in Puerto Rico, near our property The Outlets at Montehiedra. In addition, we continue to partner with organizations like Relief Access Program for the Bronx ("RAP4Bronx"), a non-profit organization responsible for delivering meals to those suffering from food insecurity in the Bronx. Our contributions towards RAP4Bronx include the donation of vacant space that serves as a warehouse and distribution hub for the organization, as well as monetary donations from the Company and our employees.

We believe that through our business, we are able to provide the communities in which we operate a welcoming and safe environment for our tenants and customers to connect and engage with one another. We are committed to providing a better shopping experience for our customers by spending capital to redevelop our centers, which also results in the creation of new jobs in construction and retail. Additionally, we are deliberate in our leasing approach by adding necessary retailers to neighborhoods lacking vital resources and those that appeal to the respective communities where the properties are located.

*Governance*

Our corporate governance standards and policies aim to promote ethical conduct, fair dealing, transparency and accountability. The Company is governed by a nine-member board comprised primarily of independent trustees. The Board of Trustees is focused on independence, diversity of thought, experience and ethical leadership, and is critical in the oversight of our risk-management processes. Additionally, we have three board committees made up of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, each of which addresses risks specific to their respective

------

functional responsibilities and works closely with the Board of Trustees. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines are re-evaluated annually, taking into account changing circumstances to ensure that the best interests of the Company and our shareholders are met. We maintain additional policies including our Code of Ethics, Conflict of Interest Policy, and Whistleblower Policy, on which all employees are trained.

We are subject to federal, state and local regulations, including environmental regulations. Each of our properties has been subjected to varying degrees of environmental assessment at various times. Based on these assessments, we have accrued costs for remediation for environmental contamination at certain properties. As of the date of this Report on Form 10-K, we are not aware of any material costs of complying with government regulations, including environmental regulations, that would have a material adverse effect on our overall business, financial condition or results of operations. See "Risks Related to Environmental Liability and Regulatory Compliance" in Part 1, Item 1A "Risk Factors" for further information regarding our risks related to government regulations.

**Human Capital**

At December 31, 2022, we had 115 employees. We believe that our people are our most valuable asset. Our future success will depend, in part, on our ability to continue to attract, hire, and retain qualified personnel. Accordingly, we strive to offer competitive salaries and employee benefits to all employees and monitor salaries in our market areas. We provide professional training and development workshops and aim to provide a workplace environment where employees are informed, engaged, feel empowered, and can succeed. Additionally, the Company launched a mentorship program designed to provide members of the team an opportunity to expand their knowledge and experience through one-on-one mentorship with an employee from another department. The goal of this initiative is to promote a culture of learning while providing opportunities for professional and personal growth.

Our employees enjoy subsidized health and wellness benefits, professional training and development workshops, ergonomic office equipment, telecommuting opportunities and policies encouraging work/life balance. We have created an employee wellness program which spans the entire year and focuses on five pillars of health and wellness, both inside and outside of the office. The areas of focus for this program include financial, emotional, physical, social and community wellness. Each month there is a theme with associated activities and employee incentives including the ability to earn additional money for health savings accounts.

We understand the importance of work/life balance and allow employees the flexibility to maintain a hybrid in-office and remote working schedule. We provide all employees with the equipment and resources necessary to work and perform their duties in a remote setting. We have implemented enhanced cleaning protocols within our offices and our properties to promote employee health and safety, which include cleaning and disinfecting high-touch surfaces daily, providing hand sanitizer and personal protective equipment such as face masks.

Diversity, equity and inclusion ("DE&I") initiatives are an integral part of our culture. We believe that a diverse workforce and an inclusive culture promotes growth, both personally and professionally, and is an important aspect in our ability to attract and retain talented employees. All employees are required to complete trainings on DE&I which cover a range of topics including best practices and education on unconscious bias. We aim to create an equitable workplace for all, and our CEO has signed the CEO Diversity and Inclusion Action Pledge on behalf of our Company, joining thousands of other CEOs and peers across the country to cultivate a trusting environment where our employees feel comfortable and are empowered to have discussions about diversity and inclusion. As a part of this pledge, the Company has created a Days of Understanding initiative which provides different platforms such as a book club or a movie screening as a way to encourage our team to have open discussions on issues of diversity, equity and inclusion. This program is designed to allow employees to not only gain a better understanding of culture issues tied to race, gender, and sexual orientation, but also drive engagement, build camaraderie, and learn from different perspectives.

Our efforts, like those mentioned above, are some of the many reasons Urban Edge Properties was named one of the best places to work in New Jersey by NJBIZ Magazine in 2022. The annual program identifies and recognizes the best employers in the state of New Jersey.

Through our wellness and DE&I programs, health and safety protocols and town hall meetings with all employees, among other initiatives, we continually strive to provide a workplace environment where employees are informed, engaged, feel empowered and can succeed.

Further information on our corporate responsibility practices can be found on our website in the ESG section. The information on our website is not incorporated by reference in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Our headquarters are located at 888 Seventh Avenue, New York, NY 10019.

**Significant Tenants**

None of our tenants accounted for more than 10% of total revenues in any of the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020. The Home Depot, Inc. is our largest tenant and accounted for approximately $21.4 million, or 5.4%, of our total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022.

**REIT Qualification**

The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT under sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), commencing with the filing of its 2015 tax return for its tax year ended December 31, 2015. So long as the Company qualifies as a REIT under the Code, the Company will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on net taxable income that it distributes annually to its shareholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT for any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income taxes at regular corporate rates and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for the four subsequent taxable years. The Company is subject to certain foreign and state and local income taxes, in particular income taxes arising from its operating activities in Puerto Rico, which are included in income tax expense in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. In addition, the Company's taxable REIT subsidiary ("TRS") is subject to income tax at regular corporate rates.

**Supplemental U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations**

The following discussion supplements and updates the disclosures under "Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations" in the prospectus dated August 15, 2022, contained in our Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-266885) filed with the SEC on August 15, 2022. Capitalized terms herein that are not otherwise defined shall have the same meaning as when used in such disclosures (as supplemented).

On December 29, 2022, the Internal Revenue Service promulgated final Treasury Regulations under Sections 897, 1441, 1445, and 1446 of the Code that were, in part, intended to coordinate various withholding regimes for non-U.S. shareholders. The new Treasury Regulations provide that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i.The withholding rules applicable to ordinary REIT dividends paid to a non-U.S. shareholder (generally, a 30% rate of withholding on gross amounts unless otherwise reduced by treaty or effectively connected with such non-U.S. shareholder's trade or business within the United States and proper certifications are provided) will apply to (a) that portion of any distribution paid by us that is not designated as a capital gain dividend, a return of basis or a distribution in excess of the non-U.S. shareholder's adjusted basis in its stock that is treated as gain from the disposition of such stock and (b) any portion of a capital gain dividend paid by us that is not treated as gain attributable to the sale or exchange of a U.S. real property interest by reason of the recipient not owning more than 10% of a class of our stock that is regularly traded on an established securities market during the one-year period ending on the date of the capital gain dividend.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ii.The withholding rules under FIRPTA will apply to a distribution paid by us in excess of a non-U.S. shareholder's adjusted basis in our stock, unless the interest in our stock is not a U.S. real property interest (for example, because we are a domestically controlled qualified investment entity) or the distribution is paid to a "withholding qualified holder." A "withholding qualified holder" means a qualified holder (as defined below) and a foreign partnership all of the interests of which are held by qualified holders, including through one or more partnerships.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;iii.The withholding rules under FIRPTA will apply to any portion of a capital gain dividend paid to a non-U.S. shareholder that is attributable to the sale or exchange of a U.S. real property interest, unless it is paid to a withholding qualified holder.

In the case of FIRPTA withholding under clause (ii) above, the applicable withholding rate is currently 15%, and in the case of FIRPTA withholding under clause (iii) above the withholding rate is currently 21%. For purposes of FIRPTA withholding under clause (iii), whether a capital gain dividend is attributable to the sale or exchange of a U.S. real property interest is determined taking into account the general exception from FIRPTA distribution treatment for distributions paid to certain non-U.S. shareholders under which any distribution by us to a non-U.S. shareholder with respect to any class of stock which is regularly traded on an established securities market located in the United States is not treated as gain recognized from the sale or exchange of a U.S. real property interest if such non-U.S. shareholder did not own more than 10% of such class of stock at any time during the 1-year period ending on the date of such distribution. To the extent inconsistent, these Treasury Regulations supersede the discussion on withholding contained in the above-referenced disclosures (as supplemented) under the heading "*Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations—Taxation of Non-U.S. Shareholders*." However, if, notwithstanding these Treasury Regulations, we encounter difficulties in properly characterizing a distribution for purposes of the withholding rules, we may decide to withhold on such distribution at the highest possible U.S. federal withholding rate that we determine could apply.

------

The new Treasury Regulations also provide new guidance regarding qualified foreign pension funds. Accordingly, the last two sentences of the first paragraph under the heading "*Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations—Taxation of Non-U.S. Shareholders—Qualified Foreign Pension Funds*" are hereby deleted and replaced with the following:

Under Treasury Regulations, subject to the discussion below regarding "qualified holders," a "qualified controlled entity" also is not generally treated as a foreign person for purposes of FIRPTA. A qualified controlled entity generally includes a trust or corporation organized under the laws of a foreign country all of the interests of which are held by one or more qualified foreign pension funds either directly or indirectly through one or more qualified controlled entities.

Additionally, the following two paragraphs are added after the first paragraph under the heading "*Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations—Taxation of Shareholders and Potential Tax Considerations Relating to Their Investment in Common Shares or Preferred Shares—Taxation of Non-U.S. Shareholders—Qualified Foreign Pension Funds*":

Treasury Regulations further require that a qualified foreign pension fund or qualified controlled entity will not be exempt from FIRPTA with respect to dispositions of U.S. real property interests or REIT distributions attributable to the same unless the qualified foreign pension fund or qualified controlled entity is a "qualified holder." To be a qualified holder, a qualified foreign pension fund or qualified controlled entity must satisfy one of two alternative tests at the time of the disposition of the U.S. real property interest or the REIT distribution. Under the first test, a qualified foreign pension fund or qualified controlled entity is a qualified holder if it owned no U.S. real property interests as of the earliest date during an uninterrupted period ending on the date of the disposition or distribution during which it qualified as a qualified foreign pension fund or qualified controlled entity. Alternatively, if a qualified foreign pension fund or qualified controlled entity held U.S. real property interests as of the earliest date during the period described in the preceding sentence, it can be a qualified holder only if it satisfies certain testing period requirements.

Treasury Regulations also provide that a foreign partnership all of the interests of which are held by qualified holders, including through one or more partnerships, may certify its status as such and will not be treated as a foreign person for purposes of withholding under Code Section 1445 (and Code Section 1446, as applicable).

**ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS** 

Risk factors that may materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition are summarized below. These risks have been separated into the following groups:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Risks Related to Our Business and Operations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Risks Related to Our Liquidity and Indebtedness;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Risks Related to Business Continuity;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Risks Related to Environmental Liability and Regulatory Compliance;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Risks Related to Our Status as a REIT;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Risks Related to Our Organization and Structure; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Risks Related to An Investment in Our Common Shares.

The risks and uncertainties described herein may not be the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial, may also adversely affect our business. See "Forward-Looking Statements".

**RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS** 

***Inflation and related volatility in the economy could negatively impact our results of operations and our tenants.***

Inflation in the United States accelerated in 2022 and may continue at an elevated level in the near-term. This increase, and any related impacts, including increased prices for consumer goods and higher interest rates and wages, and any fiscal or other policy interventions by the U.S. government in reaction to such events, could negatively impact our results of operations, and could also negatively impact our tenants' businesses. Most of our leases require tenants to pay their share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance, although some larger tenants have capped the amount of these operating expenses they are responsible for under their lease. As a result, we believe that the structure of our leases reduces our exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation. However, there can be no assurance that our tenants will be able to absorb these expense increases and be able to continue to pay us their portion of operating expenses, capital expenditures and rent. While our leases generally provide for fixed annual rent increases, high levels of inflation will likely outpace our contractual rent increases. As a result, our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity and ability to satisfy our debt service obligations and to pay dividends and distributions to shareholders could be adversely affected over time. The duration and extent of any prolonged periods of inflation, and any related adverse effects on our results of operations and financial condition, remain unknown at this time.

Additionally, inflationary pricing may have a negative effect on the construction costs necessary to complete our development and redevelopment projects, including, but not limited to, costs of construction materials, labor and services from third-party contractors and suppliers. Certain mitigating factors and contingencies are built into our contracts; however, no assurance can be given that our efforts at mitigation will be successful. Higher construction costs could adversely impact our investments in real estate assets and expected yields on our redevelopment projects.

***Actual or perceived threats associated with epidemics, pandemics or other public health crises, have had and could have a material adverse effect on our and our tenants' businesses, financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, liquidity, and ability to access the capital markets and satisfy debt service obligations.***

Epidemics, pandemics or other public health crises, that impact economic and market conditions, particularly in the markets where our properties are located, and preventative measures taken to alleviate their impact, may have a material adverse effect on our and our tenants' businesses, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, and ability to access capital markets and satisfy debt service obligations.

The actual and potential restrictions intended to prevent and mitigate such events have had, and could have in the future, additional adverse effects on our business, including with regards to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the ability and willingness of our tenants to renew their leases upon expiration, our ability to re-lease the properties on the same or better terms in the event of nonrenewal or in the event we exercise our right to replace an existing tenant, and obligations we may incur in connection with the replacement of an existing tenant;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• anticipated returns from development and redevelopment projects, which may experience delays due to supply-chain disruptions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the broader impact of epidemics, pandemics, or other public health crises and their effect on consumer behavior;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to pay down, refinance, restructure or extend our indebtedness as it becomes due or our ability to borrow funds under our credit facility as a result of covenants relating to our financial results; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the potential reduction in our operating effectiveness if key personnel become unavailable due to illness or other personal circumstances.

To the extent any of these risks and uncertainties adversely impact us in the ways described above or otherwise, they may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in this section.

***E-commerce may have an adverse impact on our tenants and our business.***

***Retail real estate is a competitive business.***

Competition in the retail real estate industry is intense. We compete with a large number of public and private retail real estate companies, including property owners and developers. We compete with these companies to attract customers to our properties, as well as to attract anchor, non-anchor and other tenants. We also compete with these companies for development, redevelopment and acquisition opportunities. Other owners and developers may attempt to take existing tenants from our shopping centers by offering lower rents or other incentives to compel them to relocate. This competition could have a material adverse effect on our ability to lease space and on the amount of rent and expense reimbursements that we receive.

***We depend on leasing space to tenants on economically favorable terms and on collecting rent from tenants who ultimately may not be able to pay.***

Our financial results depend significantly on leasing space in our properties to tenants on economically favorable terms. A majority of our income depends on the ability of our tenants to pay the full amount of rent and other charges due under their leases on a timely basis. Some of our leases provide for the payment, in addition to base rent, of additional rent above the base amount according to a specified percentage of the gross sales generated by the tenants and generally provide for reimbursement of real estate taxes and expenses of operating the property. Economic and/or competitive conditions may impact the success of our tenants' retail operations and therefore the amount of rent and expense reimbursements we receive from our tenants. While demand for our retail spaces has been strong, there can be no assurance in our ability to maintain our occupancy levels on favorable terms. Any reduction in our tenants' abilities to pay base rent, percentage rent or other charges on a timely basis will decrease our income, funds available to pay indebtedness and funds available for distribution to shareholders. If a tenant does not pay its rent, we might not be able to enforce our rights as landlord without delays and might incur substantial legal and other costs. During periods of economic adversity, there may be an increase in the number of tenants that cannot pay their rent and an increase in vacancy rates, which could materially and adversely affect our cash flow, financial condition and results of operations.

***We may be unable to renew leases or relet space as leases expire on terms comparable to prior leases or at all.***

If our tenants decide not to renew their leases upon their expiration, or if we exercise our right to replace an existing tenant, we may not be able to relet the space on terms comparable to prior leases or at all. Spaces that accounted for approximately 14.9% of physical occupancy were vacant as of December 31, 2022, excluding leases signed but not commenced. In addition, leases accounting for approximately 28% of our annualized base rent for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 are scheduled to expire within the next three years. Even if tenants do renew or we can relet the space, the terms of the renewal or reletting, taking into account among other things, the cost of improvements to the property and leasing commissions, may be less favorable than the terms in the expired leases. In addition, changes in space utilization by our tenants may impact our ability to renew or relet space without the need to incur substantial costs in renovating or redesigning the internal configuration of the relevant property. If we are unable to promptly renew the leases or relet the space at similar rates or if we incur substantial costs

------

in renewing or reletting the space, our cash flow and ability to service debt obligations and pay dividends and other distributions to security holders could be adversely affected.

***Bankruptcy or insolvency of tenants may decrease our revenues, net income and available cash.***

From time to time, certain of our tenants have become insolvent or declared bankruptcy and other tenants may declare bankruptcy or become insolvent in the future. Tenants who file for bankruptcy protection have the legal right to reject any or all of their leases and close related stores. In the event that a tenant with a significant number of leases in our properties files for bankruptcy and rejects its leases, we could experience a significant reduction in our revenues, and we may not be able to collect all pre-petition amounts owed by that party, which may adversely affect our cash flow, financial condition and results of operations. The bankruptcy or insolvency of a major tenant at one of our properties could also negatively impact our ability to lease other existing or future vacancies at any such property. In addition, our leases generally do not contain restrictions designed to ensure the ongoing creditworthiness of our tenants. The bankruptcy or insolvency of a major tenant could result in a lower level of net income, which may adversely affect our cash flow, financial condition and results of operations and decrease funds available to pay our indebtedness or make distributions to shareholders.

See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources" included in Part II, Item 7 in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8 in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

***A significant number of our properties are located in the New York metropolitan area and are affected by the economic cycles there.***

Because a significant number of our properties are located in the New York metropolitan area, we are particularly susceptible to adverse economic and other developments in that area. Notably, as of December 31, 2022, one of our New York metropolitan area properties, The Outlets at Bergen Town Center, in Paramus, NJ, generated in excess of 10% of our annualized base rent. Collectively, our New York metropolitan area properties in the aggregate generated approximately 73% of our annualized base rent as of December 31, 2022. Real estate markets are subject to economic downturns, and we cannot predict the economic conditions in the New York metropolitan area in either the short-term or long-term. Poor economic or market conditions in the New York metropolitan area may adversely affect our cash flow, financial condition and results of operations.

***Some of our properties depend on anchor or major tenants and decisions made by these tenants, or adverse developments in the businesses of these tenants, could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.***

Some of our properties have anchor or major tenants that generally occupy larger spaces, sometimes pay a significant portion of a property's total rent and often contribute to the success of other tenants by drawing customers to a property. If an anchor or major tenant closes, such closure could adversely affect the property even if the tenant continues to pay rent due to the loss of the anchor or major tenant's drawing power. Additionally, closure of an anchor or major tenant could result in lease terminations by, or reductions in rent from, other tenants if the other tenants' leases have co-tenancy clauses that permit cancellation or rent reduction if an anchor tenant closes. Retailer consolidation, store rationalization, competition from internet sales and general economic conditions may decrease the number of potential tenants available to fill available anchor tenant spaces. As a result, in the event one or more anchor tenants were to leave one or more of our centers, we cannot be sure that we would be able to lease the vacant space on equivalent terms or at all. In addition, we may not be able to recover costs owed to us by the closed tenant. In certain cases, some anchor and non-anchor tenants may be able to terminate their leases if they do not achieve defined sales levels.

***Development and redevelopment activities have inherent risks, which could adversely impact our cash flow, financial condition and results of operations.***

We may develop or redevelop properties when we believe that doing so is consistent with our business strategy. As of December 31, 2022, we had 25 active redevelopment projects in which we have invested a total of approximately $56.3 million, and based on our current plans and estimates, we anticipate it will cost an additional $159.7 million to complete. We anticipate engaging in additional development and redevelopment activities in the future. In addition to the risks associated with real estate investments in general as described elsewhere, the risks associated with future development and redevelopment activities include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• expenditure of capital and time on projects that may never be completed;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• failure or inability to obtain financing on favorable terms or at all;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• inability to secure necessary zoning or regulatory approvals;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• higher than estimated construction or operating costs, including labor and material costs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• increased costs related to inflation, including higher costs of construction and financing;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• inability to complete construction on schedule due to a number of factors, including inclement weather, labor disruptions, construction delays, delays or failure to receive zoning or other regulatory approvals, acts of terror or other acts of violence, or natural disasters (such as fires, seismic activity or floods);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• significant time lag between commencement and stabilization resulting in delayed returns and greater risks due to fluctuations in the general economy, shifts in demographics and competition;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• decrease in customer traffic during the redevelopment period causing a decrease in tenant sales;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• inability to secure key anchor or other tenants at anticipated pace of lease-up or at all; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• occupancy and rental rates at a newly completed project that may not meet expectations.

If any of the above events were to occur, they may hinder our growth and may have an adverse effect on our cash flow, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, new development and significant redevelopment activities, regardless of whether they are ultimately successful, typically require substantial time and attention from management.

***We face significant competition for acquisitions of properties, which may reduce the number of acquisition opportunities available to us and increase the costs of these acquisitions.***

The current market for acquisitions of properties in our core markets continues to be competitive. This competition may increase the demand for the types of properties in which we typically invest and, therefore, increase the prices paid for such acquisition properties. We also face significant competition for attractive acquisition opportunities from an indeterminate number of investors, including publicly-traded and privately-held REITs, private equity investors and institutional investment funds, some of which have greater financial resources, greater ability to borrow funds and the willingness to accept more risk than we can prudently manage, including risks with respect to the geographic proximity of investments and the payment of higher acquisition prices. This competition will increase if investments in real estate become more attractive relative to other forms of investment. Competition for investments may reduce the number of suitable investment opportunities available to us and may have the effect of increasing prices paid for such acquisition properties and, as a result, adversely affecting our ability to grow through acquisitions.

***Our operating results at acquired properties may not meet our financial expectations.***

Our ability to complete acquisitions on favorable terms and successfully operate or develop them is subject to the following risks:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• we may incur significant costs and divert management attention in connection with the evaluation and negotiation of potential acquisitions, including ones that are subsequently not completed;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• we may be unable to finance acquisitions on favorable terms and in the time period we desire, or at all;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• we may be unable to quickly and efficiently integrate new acquisitions, particularly the acquisition of portfolios of properties, into our existing operations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• we may acquire properties that are not initially accretive to our results upon acquisition, and we may not successfully manage and lease those properties to meet our expectations; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• we may acquire properties subject to liabilities and without any recourse, or with only limited recourse to former owners, with respect to unknown liabilities for clean-up of undisclosed environmental contamination, claims by tenants or other persons to former owners of the properties and claims for indemnification by general partners, trustees, officers and others indemnified by the former owners of the properties.

If we are unable to complete acquisitions on favorable terms, or efficiently integrate such acquisitions, our cash flow, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

***It may be difficult to dispose of real estate quickly, which may limit our flexibility.***

Real estate is relatively difficult to dispose of quickly. Consequently, we may have limited ability to promptly change our portfolio in response to changes in economic or other conditions. Moreover, our ability to dispose of, or finance real estate may be materially and adversely affected during periods of uncertainty or unfavorable conditions in the credit markets as we or potential buyers of our real estate may experience difficulty in obtaining financing. To dispose of low basis deferral or tax-

------

protected properties efficiently we from time to time use like-kind exchanges, which are intended to qualify for non-recognition of taxable gain, but can be difficult to consummate and result in the property for which the disposed assets are exchanged inheriting their low tax bases and other tax attributes (including tax protection covenants). These challenges related to dispositions may limit our flexibility.

***Many real estate costs are fixed, even if income from our properties decreases.***

Our financial results depend primarily on leasing space in our properties to tenants on terms favorable to us. Costs associated with operating real estate, such as real estate taxes, insurance and maintenance costs, generally are not reduced even when a property is not fully occupied, rental rates decrease, or other circumstances cause a reduction in income from the property. As a result, cash flow from operations may be reduced if a tenant does not pay its rent or we are unable to rent our properties on favorable terms.

***A number of properties in our portfolio are subject to ground or building leases; if we are found to be in breach of a ground or building lease or are unable to renew a ground or building lease, we could be materially and adversely affected.***

A number of the properties in our portfolio are either completely or partially on land that is owned by third parties and leased to us pursuant to ground or building leases. Accordingly, we only own a long-term leasehold or similar interest in those properties. If we are found to be in breach of a ground or building lease and that breach cannot be cured, we could lose our interest in the improvements and the right to operate the property. In addition, unless we can purchase a fee interest in the underlying land or building or extend the terms of these leases before or at their expiration, as to which no assurance can be given, we will lose our interest in the improvements and the right to operate these properties. However, in certain cases, our ability to exercise such options is subject to the condition that we are not in default under the terms of the ground or building lease at the time that we exercise such options, and we can provide no assurance that we will be able to exercise our options at such time. If we were to lose the right to operate a property due to a breach or non-renewal of the ground or building lease, we would be unable to derive income from such property, which could materially and adversely affect us.

***Our assets may be subject to impairment charges.***

Real estate is carried at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Our properties are individually reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the property may not be recoverable. An impairment exists when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the aggregate projected future cash flows over the anticipated holding period on an undiscounted basis, taking into account the appropriate capitalization rate in determining a future terminal value. An impairment loss is based on the excess of the property's carrying amount over its estimated fair value. Recording an impairment charge results in an immediate reduction in our income in the period in which the charge is taken, which could materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

**RISKS RELATED TO OUR LIQUIDITY AND INDEBTEDNESS**

***Risks related to our outstanding debt.***

We have historically used moderate levels of leverage and expect to continue to incur indebtedness to support our activities. As of December 31, 2022, our outstanding indebtedness was $1.7 billion, of which $159.2 million was variable rate indebtedness. If we are unable to obtain debt financing or refinance existing debt upon maturity on terms favorable to us, or at all, our financial condition and results of operations would likely be adversely affected. We have approximately $329 million of debt, with a weighted average interest rate of 3.7%, maturing within the next 12 months related to mortgage loans encumbering three of our properties. We are actively exploring our options to refinance them, however, there is no guarantee that we will be able to do so prior to their maturities or at rates that are favorable to us.

As of December 31, 2022, approximately 9% of our current outstanding debt bore interest at variable rates based on the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") or the Prime Rate, plus an applicable margin per the loan agreement. We are exposed to risks related to a potential rising interest rate environment for our current or any future variable interest rate debt. Interest expense on our variable rate debt at December 31, 2022 would increase by approximately $1.6 million annually for every 100-basis-point increase in interest rates. While we may enter into interest rate hedging transactions with counterparties, there can be no guarantee that the future financial condition of these counterparties will enable them to fulfill their obligations under such agreements.

In 2017, U.K. regulators announced that they intend to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. As a result, U.S. regulators identified SOFR as their preferred alternative to USD LIBOR in derivatives and other financial contracts. Additionally, while U.S. official guidance states that there should be no new LIBOR trading after December 31, 2021, we expect that USD LIBOR will continue to be published until June 30, 2023. We are not currently able to predict when LIBOR will cease to be available in the United States. When LIBOR is discontinued, the interest rates of our LIBOR-

------

indexed debt following such event will be based on either alternate reference rates, such as SOFR, or agreed upon replacement rates. While such an event would not affect our ability to borrow or maintain already outstanding borrowings, it could result in higher interest rates or additional hedging costs.

If the cost or amount of our debt increases or we cannot refinance our debt in sufficient amounts or on acceptable terms, we are at risk of default on our obligations, which could have a material adverse effect on our company, including our ability to make distributions to our shareholders.

***Covenants in our existing financing agreements may restrict our operating, financing, redevelopment, development, acquisition and other activities.***

The mortgages on our properties contain customary covenants such as those that limit our ability, without the prior consent of the lender, to further mortgage the applicable property or to reduce insurance coverage. Our existing revolving credit facility contains, and any debt that we may obtain in the future may contain, customary restrictions, requirements and other limitations on our ability to incur indebtedness, including covenants (i) that limit our ability to incur debt based upon (1) our ratio of total debt to total assets, (2) our ratio of secured debt to total assets, (3) our ratio of earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") to interest expense and (4) our ratio of EBITDA to fixed charges, and (ii) that require us to maintain a certain level of unencumbered assets to unsecured debt. Our ability to borrow is subject to compliance with these and other covenants. Failure to comply with our covenants could cause a default under the applicable debt instrument and we may then be required to repay such debt with capital from other sources or to give possession of a secured property to the lender. Under those circumstances, other sources of capital may not be available to us or may be available only on unattractive terms.

***Defaults on secured indebtedness may result in foreclosure.***

In the event that we default on mortgages in the future, either as a result of ceasing to make debt service payments or failing to meet applicable covenants, the lenders may accelerate the related debt obligations and foreclose and/or take control of the properties that secure their loans. As of December 31, 2022, we had $1.7 billion of secured debt outstanding and 34 of our properties were encumbered by secured debt. As of December 31, 2022, we were in compliance with all debt covenants. Further, for tax purposes, the foreclosure of a mortgage may result in the recognition of taxable income related to the extinguished debt without us having received any accompanying cash proceeds. As a result, since we are structured as a REIT, we may be required to identify and utilize sources for distributions to our shareholders related to such taxable income in order to avoid incurring corporate tax or to meet the REIT distribution requirements imposed by the Code.

***We may not be able to obtain capital to make investments.***

We depend primarily on external financing to fund the growth of our business because one of the requirements of the Code for a REIT is that it distributes at least 90% of its taxable income, excluding net capital gains, to its shareholders. There is a separate requirement to distribute net capital gains or pay a corporate level tax in lieu thereof. Our access to debt or equity financing depends on the willingness of third parties to lend to or to make equity investments and on conditions in the capital markets generally. There can be no assurance that new financing or other capital will be available or available on acceptable terms. The failure to obtain financing or other capital could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. For information about our available sources of funds, see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources" included in Part II, Item 7 in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8 in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

**RISKS RELATED TO BUSINESS CONTINUITY**

***Risks related to our malls in Puerto Rico.***

Our two malls in Puerto Rico make up approximately 7% of our net operating income ("NOI") for the year ended December 31, 2022. Puerto Rico faces significant fiscal and economic challenges, including those resulting from natural disasters such as hurricanes and earthquakes, the recent COVID-19 pandemic, and its government filing for bankruptcy protection in 2017. These factors have led to an emigration trend of Puerto Rico residents to the United States and elsewhere over the last several years. The combination of these circumstances could result in less disposable income for the purchase of goods sold in our malls and the inability of merchants to pay rent and other charges. Any of these events could negatively impact our ability to lease space on terms and conditions we seek and could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. As of December 31, 2022, we have individual, non-recourse mortgages on each of our Puerto Rico properties. We also have a limited corporate guarantee related to our mortgage on the Outlets at Montehiedra of $12.5 million that is reduced commensurate with the loan amortization schedule. As of December 31, 2022, our remaining exposure under the guarantee is $8.0 million, which will reduce to zero in approximately 3.8 years.

------

***Natural disasters could have a concentrated impact on us.***

We own properties near the Atlantic Coast and in Puerto Rico which are subject to natural disasters such as hurricanes, floods and storm surges. We also have two properties in California that could be impacted by earthquakes. As a result, we could become subject to business interruption, significant losses and repair costs, such as those we experienced from Hurricane Maria, which damaged and caused the temporary closure of our two properties in Puerto Rico. We maintain comprehensive, all-risk property and rental value insurance coverage on our properties, however losses resulting from a natural disaster may be subject to a deductible or not fully covered and such losses could adversely affect our cash flow, financial condition and results of operations.

***Some of our potential losses may not be covered by insurance.***

We maintain numerous insurance policies including for general liability, property, pollution, acts of terrorism, trustees' and officers', cyber security, workers' compensation and automobile-related liabilities. However, all such policies are subject to the terms, conditions, exclusions, deductibles and sub-limits, among other limiting factors. For example, our terrorism insurance policy excludes coverage for nuclear, biological, chemical or radiological terrorism events as defined by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act.

Certain of the insurance premiums are charged directly to each of the properties but not all of the cost of such premiums are recovered. We are responsible for deductibles, losses in excess of insurance coverage, and the portion of premiums not reimbursable by tenants at our properties, which could be material.

We continue to monitor the state of the insurance market and the scope and costs of available coverage. We cannot anticipate what coverage will be available on commercially reasonable terms in the future and expect premiums across most coverage lines to increase in light of recent events. The incurrence of uninsured losses, costs or uncovered premiums could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources" included in Part II, Item 7. in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8. in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

***Terrorist acts and shooting incidents could harm the demand for, and the value of, our properties.***

Over the past several years, a number of highly publicized terrorist acts and shootings have occurred at domestic and international retail properties. In the event concerns regarding safety were to alter shopping habits or deter customers from visiting shopping centers, our tenants would be adversely affected as would the general demand for retail space. Additionally, if such incidents were to continue, insurance for such acts may become limited or subject to substantial cost increases. Such an incident at one of our properties, particularly one in which we generate a significant amount of revenue, could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

***Our business and operations would suffer in the event of system failures.***

Despite system redundancy, the implementation of security measures and the existence of a disaster recovery plan for our information technology ("IT") infrastructure, our systems are vulnerable to damages from any number of sources, including computer viruses, unauthorized access, energy blackouts, natural disasters, terrorism, war and telecommunication failures. We have placed reliance on third-party managed services to perform a number of IT-related functions and we may experience system difficulties related to our platform and integrating the services provided by third parties. If we experience a system failure or accident that causes interruptions in our operations, we could experience material and adverse disruptions to our business. We may also incur additional costs to remedy damages caused by such disruptions.

***We face risks associated with security and cyber security breaches.***

We face risks associated with security breaches, whether through cyber attacks or cyber intrusions over the internet, malware, computer viruses, attachments to emails, persons inside our organization or persons with access to systems, and other significant disruptions of our IT networks and related systems. Similarly, vendors from whom we receive outsourced IT-related services, including third-party platforms, face the same risks, which could in turn affect us. Our internal and outsourced IT networks and related systems are essential to the operation of our business and our ability to perform day to day operations.

A breach or significant and extended disruption in the functioning of our systems, including our primary website, may damage our reputation and cause us to lose customers, tenants and revenues, generate third-party claims, result in the unintended and/or unauthorized public disclosure or the misappropriation of proprietary, personal identifying and confidential information, and require us to incur significant expenses to address and remediate or otherwise resolve these kinds of issues, and we may not be

------

able to recover these expenses in whole or in any part from our service providers, responsible parties, or insurance carriers which could have a material adverse effect on our business and operations.

**RISKS RELATED TO ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITY AND REGULATORY COMPLIANCE** 

***We may be adversely affected by laws, regulations or other issues related to climate change.***

We may become subject to laws or regulations related to climate change, which could cause our business, results of operations and financial condition to be impacted adversely. The federal government has enacted, and some of the states and localities in which we operate may enact, certain climate change laws and regulations or have begun regulating carbon footprints and greenhouse gas emissions. Although these laws and regulations have not had any known material adverse effects on our business to date, they could result in substantial costs, including compliance costs, increased energy costs, retrofit costs and construction costs, including monitoring and reporting costs, and capital expenditures for environmental control facilities and other new equipment. We have implemented strategies to support our continued effort to reduce energy and water consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, and waste production across our portfolio. We cannot predict how future laws and regulations, or future interpretations of current laws and regulations, related to climate change will affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. Additionally, the potential physical impacts of climate change on our operations are highly uncertain, and would be particular to the geographic circumstances in areas in which we operate. These may include changes to global weather patterns, which could include local changes in rainfall and storm patterns and intensities, water shortages, changing sea levels and changing temperature averages or extremes. These impacts may adversely affect our properties, our business, financial condition and results of operations.

***We may incur significant costs to comply with environmental laws and environmental contamination may impair our ability to lease and/or sell real estate.***

Our operations and properties are subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations concerning the protection of the environment including air and water quality, hazardous or toxic substances and health and safety. These laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of hazardous or toxic substances. The cost of any required remediation may exceed the value of the property and/or the aggregate assets of the owner or the responsible party. The presence of, or the failure to properly remediate, hazardous or toxic substances may adversely affect our ability to sell or lease a contaminated property or to use the property as collateral for a loan. We can provide no assurance that we are aware of all potential environmental liabilities; that any previous owner, occupant or tenant did not create any material environmental condition not known to us; that our properties will not be affected by tenants or nearby properties or other unrelated third parties; and that future uses or conditions, or changes in environmental laws and regulations will not result in additional material environmental liabilities to us.

Generally, our tenants must comply with environmental laws and meet remediation requirements. Our leases typically impose obligations on our tenants to indemnify us from any compliance costs we may incur as a result of the environmental conditions on the property caused by the tenant. If a lease does not require compliance or if a tenant fails to or cannot comply, we could be forced to pay these costs.

If not addressed, environmental conditions could impair our ability to sell or re-lease the affected properties in the future, or result in lower sales prices or rent payments, which could adversely impact our cash flow, financial condition and results of operations.

***Increased scrutiny and changing expectations from investors, customers, employees, and others regarding our environmental, social and governance practices and reporting could cause us to incur additional costs, devote additional resources and expose us to additional risks, which could adversely impact our reputation, customer acquisition and retention, access to capital and employee retention.***

Companies across all industries are facing increasing scrutiny related to their ESG practices and reporting. Investors, customers, employees, and other stakeholders have begun to focus increasingly on ESG practices and to place increasing importance on the implications and social cost of their investments, purchases, and other interactions with companies. With this increased focus and demand, public reporting regarding ESG practices is becoming more broadly expected. If our ESG practices and reporting do not meet investor, customer, or employee expectations, which continue to evolve, our reputation and tenant retention may be negatively impacted. Any disclosure we make may include our policies and practices on a variety of ESG matters, including corporate governance, environmental compliance, employee health and safety practices, human capital management, and workforce inclusion and diversity. It is possible that stakeholders may not be satisfied with our ESG reporting, our ESG practices or our speed of adoption. We could also incur additional costs and devote additional resources to monitor, report and implement various ESG practices. If we fail, or are perceived to be failing, to meet the standards included in any sustainability

------

disclosure or the expectations of our various stakeholders, it could negatively impact our reputation, tenant and employee retention, and access to capital.

***Compliance or failure to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act, safety regulations or other requirements could result in substantial costs.***

The Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA") generally requires that public buildings, including our properties, meet certain federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. Noncompliance could result in the imposition of fines by the federal government or the award of damages to private litigants and/or legal fees to their counsel. We could be required under the ADA to make substantial alterations to, and capital expenditures at, one or more of our properties, including the removal of access barriers, which could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our properties are subject to various federal, state and local regulatory requirements such as state and local fire and life safety regulations. If we fail to comply with these requirements, we could incur fines or private damage awards. We do not know whether existing requirements will change or whether compliance with future requirements will require significant unanticipated expenditures. If we incur substantial costs to comply with the ADA and any other legislation, our cash flow, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

**RISKS RELATED TO OUR STATUS AS A REIT**

***We may fail to qualify or remain qualified as a REIT and may be required to pay income taxes at corporate rates.***

Although we believe that we will remain organized and will continue to operate so as to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we may fail to remain so qualified. Qualifications are governed by highly technical and complex provisions of the Code for which there are only limited judicial or administrative interpretations and that depend on various facts and circumstances that are not entirely within our control. In addition, legislation, new regulations, administrative interpretations or court decisions may significantly change the relevant tax laws and/or the federal income tax consequences of qualifying as a REIT. If, with respect to any taxable year, we fail to maintain our qualification as a REIT and do not qualify for relief under statutory relief provisions, we could not deduct distributions to shareholders in computing our taxable income and would have to pay federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate rates. If we had to pay federal income tax, the amount of money available to distribute to shareholders and pay our indebtedness would be reduced for the year or years involved, and we would no longer be required to make distributions to shareholders. In addition, we would also be disqualified as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification was lost unless we were entitled to relief under the relevant statutory provisions.

***REIT distribution requirements could adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to execute our business plan.***

To qualify to be taxed as a REIT, and assuming that certain other requirements are also satisfied, we generally must distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding any net capital gains, to our shareholders each year. U.S. federal corporate income tax does not apply to earnings that we distribute. To the extent that we satisfy this distribution requirement and qualify for taxation as a REIT, but distribute less than 100% of our REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and including any net capital gains, we will be subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax on our undistributed net taxable income. In addition, we will be subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax if the actual amount that we distribute to our shareholders in a calendar year is less than a minimum amount specified under U.S. federal income tax laws. We intend to distribute 100% of our REIT taxable income to our shareholders.

From time to time, we may generate taxable income greater than our cash flow as a result of differences in timing between the recognition of taxable income and the actual receipt of cash or the effect of nondeductible capital expenditures, the effect of limitations on interest and net operating loss deductibility, the creation of reserves, or required debt or amortization payments. If we do not have other funds available in these situations, we could be required to borrow funds on unfavorable terms, sell assets at disadvantageous prices, distribute amounts that would otherwise be invested in future acquisitions, capital expenditures or repayment of debt, or make taxable distributions of our shares or debt securities to make distributions sufficient to enable us to pay out enough of our taxable income to satisfy the REIT distribution requirement and avoid corporate income tax and the 4% excise tax in a particular year. These alternatives could increase our costs or reduce our equity. Further, amounts distributed will not be available to fund investment activities. Thus, compliance with the REIT requirements may hinder our ability to grow, which could adversely affect the value of our shares. Any restrictions on our ability to incur additional indebtedness or make certain distributions could preclude us from meeting the 90% distribution requirement. Decreases in funds from operations due to unfinanced expenditures for acquisitions of properties or increases in the number of shares outstanding without commensurate increases in funds from operations would adversely affect our ability to maintain distributions to our

------

shareholders. Consequently, there can be no assurance that we will be able to make distributions at the anticipated distribution rate or any other rate.

***Risks related to Section 1031 Exchanges.***

From time to time we may dispose of properties in transactions that are intended to qualify as "like kind exchanges" under Section 1031 of the Code ("Section 1031 Exchanges"). It is possible that the qualification of a transaction as a Section 1031 Exchange could be successfully challenged and determined to be currently taxable. In such case, our taxable income and earnings and profits would increase. In some circumstances, we may be required to pay additional dividends or, in lieu of that, corporate income tax, possibly including interest and penalties. As a result, we may be required to borrow funds in order to pay additional dividends or taxes, and the payment of such taxes could cause us to have less cash available to distribute to our shareholders. In addition, if a Section 1031 Exchange were later to be determined to be taxable, we may be required to amend our tax returns for the applicable year in question, including any information reports we sent our shareholders. We could also be subject to significant indemnity obligations if the applicable property was subject to a tax protection agreement. Moreover, it is possible that legislation could be enacted that could modify or repeal the laws with respect to Section 1031 Exchanges, which could make it more difficult or not possible for us to dispose of properties on a tax deferred basis.

***We face possible adverse changes in tax law.***

Changes in U.S. federal, state and local tax laws or regulations, with or without retroactive application, could have a negative effect on us. New legislation, Treasury regulations, administrative interpretations or court decisions could significantly and negatively affect our ability to qualify to be taxed as a REIT and/or the U.S. federal income tax consequences to our investors and to us of such qualification. Even changes that do not impose greater taxes on us could potentially result in adverse consequences to our shareholders.

**RISKS RELATED TO OUR ORGANIZATION AND STRUCTURE** 

***Our Declaration of Trust sets limits on the ownership of our shares.***

Generally, for us to maintain a qualification as a REIT under the Code, not more than fifty percent (50%) in value of our outstanding shares of beneficial interest may be owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals at any time during the last half of our taxable year. The Code defines "individuals" for purposes of the requirement described in the preceding sentence to include some types of entities. Under our Declaration of Trust, no person or entity (or group thereof) may own more than 9.8% (in value or number of shares, whichever is more restrictive) of our outstanding shares of any class or series, with some exceptions for persons or entities approved by the Board of Trustees. A transfer of our shares of beneficial interest to a person who, as a result of the transfer, violates the ownership limit will be void under certain circumstances, and, in any event, would deny that person any of the economic benefits of owning shares in excess of the ownership limit. These restrictions on transferability and ownership may delay, deter or prevent a change in control of us or other transaction that might involve a premium price or otherwise be in the best interest of the shareholders.

***Our Declaration of Trust limits the removal of members of the Board of Trustees.***

***Maryland law contains provisions that may reduce the likelihood of certain takeover transactions.***

Certain provisions of Maryland law, may have the effect of inhibiting a third party from making a proposal to acquire us or of impeding a change in control under circumstances that otherwise could provide the holders of our shares, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• "Business combination" provisions that, subject to certain exceptions, prohibit certain business combinations between us and an "interested shareholder" (defined generally as any person who beneficially owns 10% or more of the voting power of our shares or an affiliate thereof or an affiliate or associate of ours who was the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 10% or more of the voting power of our then outstanding voting shares at any time within the two-year period immediately prior to the date in question) for five years after the most recent date on which the shareholder becomes an interested shareholder, and thereafter impose fair price or super majority shareholder voting requirements on these combinations; and

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• "Control share" provisions that provide the holders of "control shares" of a company (defined as shares that, when aggregated with other shares controlled by the shareholder, entitle the shareholder to exercise voting power in the election of trustees within one of three increasing ranges) acquired in a "control share acquisition" (defined as the direct or indirect acquisition of ownership or control of the voting power of issued and outstanding "control shares," subject to certain exceptions) have no voting rights with respect to their control shares, except to the extent approved by our shareholders by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of all the votes entitled to be cast on the matter, excluding all interested shares.

As permitted by Maryland law, our Bylaws provide that we will not be subject to the control share provisions of Maryland law. However, we cannot assure you that the Board of Trustees will not revise our Bylaws in order to be subject to such control share provisions in the future. With respect to the business combination provisions of the Maryland General Corporation Law ("MGCL"), our Board of Trustees adopted a resolution providing that we may not elect to be subject to such provisions and that this prohibition may not be repealed without prior shareholder approval. Our Bylaws include a provision that formalizes this resolution. As a result, any person may be able to enter into business combinations with us, which may not be in the best interest of shareholders, within five years of becoming an interested shareholder and without compliance by us with the super-majority vote requirements and other provisions of the MGCL.

Certain provisions of Maryland law permit the board of trustees of a Maryland real estate investment trust with at least three independent trustees and a class of shares registered under the Exchange Act, without shareholder approval and regardless of what is currently provided in its declaration of trust or bylaws, to implement certain corporate governance provisions, some of which (for example, implementing a classified board) are not currently applicable to us. These provisions may have the effect of limiting or precluding a third party from making an unsolicited acquisition proposal for us or of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control under circumstances that otherwise could provide the holders of shares of our shares with the opportunity to realize a premium over the then current market price.

We may also choose to adopt other takeover defenses in the future. Any such actions could deter a transactions that may otherwise be in the interest of our shareholders.

***We may issue additional shares in a manner that could adversely affect the likelihood of certain takeover transactions.***

Our Declaration of Trust and Bylaws authorize the Board of Trustees in its sole discretion and without shareholder approval, to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• cause us to issue additional authorized, but unissued, common or preferred shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• classify or reclassify, in one or more classes or series, any unissued common or preferred shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• set the preferences, rights and other terms of any classified or reclassified shares that we issue; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• increase the number of shares of beneficial interest that we may issue.

The Board of Trustees can establish a class or series of common or preferred shares whose terms could delay, deter or prevent a change in control of us or other transaction that might involve a premium price or otherwise be in the best interest of our shareholders. Our Declaration of Trust and Bylaws contain other provisions that may delay, deter or prevent a change in control of us or other transaction that might involve a premium price or otherwise be in our best interest or the best interest of our shareholders.

**RISKS RELATED TO AN INVESTMENT IN OUR COMMON SHARES** 

***The market prices and trading volume of our equity securities may be volatile.***

The market prices of our equity securities depend on various factors which may be unrelated to our operating performance or prospects. We cannot assure you that the market prices of our equity securities, including our common shares, will not fluctuate or decline significantly in the future.

A number of factors could negatively affect, or result in fluctuations in, the prices or trading volume of equity securities, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our failure to comply with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our failure to qualify as a REIT; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• general market conditions, including factors unrelated to our performance.

In the past, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against companies following periods of volatility in the price of their common stock. This type of litigation could result in substantial costs and divert our management's attention and resources, which could have a material adverse effect on our cash flow, financial condition and results of operations.

***We cannot guarantee the timing, amount, or payment of dividends on our common shares.***

Although we expect to pay regular cash dividends, the timing, declaration, amount and payment of dividends to shareholders falls within the discretion of the Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees' decisions regarding the payment of dividends depend on factors such as our financial condition, earnings, capital requirements, debt service obligations, limitations under our financing arrangements, industry practice, legal requirements, regulatory constraints, and other considerations that it deems relevant. Our ability to pay dividends depends on our ongoing ability to generate cash from operations and access to the capital markets, and therefore, we cannot guarantee that we will pay dividends in the future.

***Your percentage of ownership in our Company may be diluted in the future.***

In the future, your ownership in us may be diluted because of equity issuances for acquisitions, capital market transactions or compensatory equity awards to our trustees, officers or employees, or otherwise. The issuance of additional common shares would dilute the interests of our current shareholders, and could depress the market price of our common shares, impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities, or impact our ability to pay dividends. We cannot predict the effect that future sales of our common shares or other equity-related securities including the issuance of Operating Partnership units would have on the market price of our common shares.

In addition, our Declaration of Trust authorizes us to issue, without the approval of our shareholders, one or more classes or series of preferred shares having such designation, voting powers, preferences, rights and other terms, including preferences over our common shares respecting dividends and other distributions, as the Board of Trustees generally may determine. The terms of one or more classes or series of preferred shares could dilute the voting power or reduce the value of our common shares. For example, we could grant the holders of preferred shares the right to elect some number of our trustees in all events or on the occurrence of specified events, or the right to veto specified transactions. Similarly, the repurchase or redemption rights or liquidation preferences we could assign to holders of preferred shares could affect the residual value of the common shares.

***Inflation and related volatility in the economy could negatively impact the value of our publicly-traded equity securities.***

Volatility in the financial markets like we are currently experiencing could affect our ability to access the capital markets at a time when we desire, or impact the cost at which we are able to do so, which could slow or deter our future growth. To the extent our exposure to increases in interest rates on any of our debt is not eliminated through interest rate swaps and interest rate protection agreements, such increases will result in higher debt service costs, which will adversely affect our cash flows. Our exposure to increases in interest rates in the short term includes our variable-rate borrowings and our floating rate mortgages. See "*Risks Related to Our Liquidity and Indebtedness – Risks related to our outstanding debt*". Increases in interest rates could increase our financing costs over time, either through near-term borrowings on our existing variable-rate borrowings or

------

refinancing of our existing borrowings that may incur higher interest expenses related to the issuance of new debt. There is no guarantee we will be able to mitigate the impact of rising inflation.

One of the factors that may influence the prices of our publicly-traded equity securities is the interest rate on our debt and the dividend yield on our common shares relative to market interest rates. As market interest rates rise, unless we eliminate our exposure to such increases, our borrowing costs may rise and result in less funds being available for distribution. Therefore, we may not be able to, or we may choose not to, provide a higher distribution rate on our common shares. In addition, fluctuations in interest rates could adversely affect the market value of our properties. These factors could result in a decline in the market prices of our publicly-traded equity securities.

<sup>(1)</sup> Percent leased is expressed as the percentage of gross leasable area subject to a lease, excluding temporary tenants. The Company also excludes 132,000 sf of self-storage from the report above.

<sup>(2)</sup> Weighted average annual rent per square foot including ground leases and executed leases for which rent has not commenced is calculated by annualizing tenants' current base rent (excluding any free rent periods), and excluding tenant reimbursements, concessions and storage rent. Excluding the ground leases where the Company is the lessor, the weighted average annual rent per square foot for our retail portfolio is $21.85 per square foot.

<sup>(3)</sup> The Company is a lessee under a ground or building lease. The total square feet disclosed for the building will revert to the lessor upon lease expiration.

<sup>(4)</sup> We own 95% of Walnut Creek (Mt. Diablo) and 82.5% of Sunrise Mall with the remaining portions in each case owned by joint venture partners.

<sup>(5)</sup> The tenant never commenced operations at this location but continues to pay rent.

------

As of December 31, 2022, we had approximately 900 leases. Tenant leases under 10,000 square feet generally have lease terms of five years or less. Tenant leases comprising 10,000 square feet or more generally have lease terms of 10 to 25 years, and are considered anchor leases with one or more renewal options available upon expiration of the initial lease term. The majority of our leases provide for reimbursements of real estate taxes, insurance and common area maintenance charges (including roof and structure in shopping centers, unless it is the tenant's direct responsibility), and percentage rents based on tenant sales volume. Percentage rents accounted for approximately 2% of our total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2022.

***Urban Edge Properties***

**Market Information and Dividends**

Our common shares are listed on the NYSE under the symbol "UE". Our common shares began "regular way" trading on January 15, 2015. As of February 3, 2023, there were approximately 1,237 holders of record of our common shares.

The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT under sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), commencing with the filing of its 2015 tax return for its tax year ended December 31, 2015. So long as the Company qualifies as a REIT under the Code, the Company will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on net taxable income that it distributes annually to its shareholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT for any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income taxes at regular corporate rates and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for the four subsequent taxable years. In addition, the Company's TRS is subject to income tax at regular corporate rates.

Future distributions will be declared and paid at the discretion of the Board of Trustees and will depend upon cash generated by operating activities, our financial condition, capital requirements, annual dividend requirements under the REIT provisions of the Code, and such other factors as our Board of Trustees deems relevant.

Our Board of Trustees declared a quarterly dividend of $0.16 and $0.15 per share for each of the four quarters in 2022 and 2021, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, the Company declared distributions on common shares and OP units of $0.64 and $0.60 per share/unit in the aggregate. The annual dividend amount may differ from dividends as calculated for federal income tax purposes. Distributions to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes generally will be taxable to a shareholder as ordinary dividend income. However, current law provides a deduction of 20% of a non-corporate taxpayer's ordinary REIT dividends with such deduction scheduled to expire for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2025. Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits will be treated as a nontaxable reduction of the shareholder's basis in such shareholder's shares, to the extent thereof, and thereafter as taxable capital gains. Distributions that are treated as a reduction of the shareholder's basis in its shares will have the effect of increasing the amount of gain, or reducing the amount of loss, recognized upon the sale of the shareholder's shares. No assurances can be given regarding what portion, if any, of distributions in 2022 or subsequent years will constitute a return of capital for federal income tax purposes. During a year in which a REIT earns a net long-term capital gain, the REIT can elect under Section 857(b)(3) of the Code to designate a portion of dividends paid to shareholders as capital gain dividends. If this election is made, the capital gain dividends are generally taxable to the shareholder as long-term capital gains.

We have determined the dividends paid on our common shares during 2022 and 2021 qualify for the following tax treatment:

|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Total Distribution per Share** | **Ordinary Dividends** | **Long Term Capital Gains** | **Return of Capital** |

***Operating Partnership***

**Market Information and Distributions**

There is no established public market for our general and common limited partnership interests in the operating partnership ("OP Units"). As of February 3, 2023, there were 117,485,171 general partnership units outstanding and 4,713,558 common limited partnership units outstanding, held by approximately 1,237 and 42 holders of record, respectively.

Under the limited partnership agreement of UELP, unitholders may present their common units for redemption at any time (subject to restrictions agreed upon at the time of issuance of the units that may restrict such right for a period of time). Upon presentation of a common unit for redemption, UELP must redeem the unit for cash equal to the then value of a share of UE's common shares, as defined by the limited partnership agreement. In lieu of cash redemption by UELP, however, UE may elect to acquire any common units so tendered by issuing common shares of UE in exchange for the common units. If UE so elects, its common shares will be exchanged for common units on a one-for-one basis. During the year ended December 31, 2022, 250,000 units were redeemed for common shares and no units were redeemed for cash.

**Recent Sales of Unregistered Shares**

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company issued an aggregate of 250,000 common shares in exchange for 250,000 common limited partnership units held by certain limited partners of the Operating Partnership. All common shares were issued in reliance on an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. We relied on the exemption under Section 4(a)(2) based upon factual representations received from the limited partner who received the common shares.

Each time the Company issues common shares (other than in exchange for common limited partnership units when such units are presented for redemption), it contributes the proceeds of such issuance to the Operating Partnership in return for an equivalent number of partnership units with rights and preferences analogous to the shares issued. During the year ended, December 31, 2022, in connection with issuances of common shares by the Company pursuant to the Urban Edge Properties 2015 Employee Share Purchase Plan, the Operating Partnership issued an aggregate of 26,088 common limited partnership units to the Company in exchange for approximately $0.3 million, the aggregate proceeds of such common share issuances to the Company. Such units were issued in reliance on an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

**Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers**

During the year ended December 31, 2022, 16,531 restricted common shares were forfeited by former employees in connection with their departure from the Company. We did not repurchase any of our equity securities during the year ended December 31, 2022. Our employees will at times surrender common shares owned by them to satisfy statutory minimum federal, state and local tax obligations associated with the vesting of their restricted common shares. During the year ended December 31, 2022, 7,228 restricted common shares were surrendered.

In March 2020, our Board of Trustees authorized a share repurchase program for up to $200 million of the Company's common shares. During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, no shares were repurchased. As of December 31, 2022, the Company has repurchased 5.9 million common shares at a weighted average share price of $9.22, for a total of $54.1 million. All share repurchases by the Company were completed between March and April of 2020. There is approximately $145.9 million remaining for share repurchases under this program.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

This section of this Annual Report on Form 10-K generally discusses 2022 and 2021 items and provides a year-to-year comparison between 2022 and 2021. A discussion of 2020 items and year-to-year comparisons between 2021 and 2020 are not included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K but can be found in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in Part II, Item 7 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

**Executive Overview**

*Our Company*

Urban Edge Properties ("UE", "Urban Edge", or the "Company") (NYSE: UE) is a Maryland real estate investment trust that manages, develops, redevelops, and acquires retail real estate, primarily in the Washington, D.C. to Boston corridor. Urban Edge Properties LP ("UELP" or the "Operating Partnership") is a Delaware limited partnership formed to serve as UE's majority-owned partnership subsidiary and to own, through affiliates, all of our real estate properties and other assets. Unless the context otherwise requires, references to "we", "us" and "our" refer to Urban Edge Properties and UELP and their consolidated entities/subsidiaries.

The Operating Partnership's capital includes general and common limited partnership interests in the operating partnership ("OP Units"). As of December 31, 2022, Urban Edge owned approximately 96.1% of the outstanding common OP Units with the remaining limited OP Units held by members of management, Urban Edge's Board of Trustees and contributors of property interests acquired. Urban Edge serves as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. The third-party unitholders have limited rights over the Operating Partnership such that they do not have characteristics of a controlling financial interest. As such, the Operating Partnership is considered a variable interest entity ("VIE"), and the Company is the primary beneficiary that consolidates it. The Company's only investment is the Operating Partnership. The VIE's assets can be used for purposes other than the settlement of the VIE's obligations and the Company's partnership interest is considered a majority voting interest.

As of December 31, 2022, our portfolio was comprised of 69 shopping centers, five malls and two industrial parks totaling approximately 17.2 million square feet.

*Economic Considerations* 

In March of 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the COVID-19 outbreak as a global pandemic. Many of our tenants faced adverse financial consequences from reduced business operations and restrictions related to the pandemic, and the Company's results for 2020 were negatively impacted by tenant fallout from COVID-driven bankruptcies, uncollected or disputed rents from impacted tenants, and from abatements granted to tenants facing financial hardships due to the pandemic. Throughout 2021, the widespread distribution of vaccines and reduction of restrictions boosted economic confidence and increased consumer spending, resulting in a strengthened existing retail tenant base and an increase in demand for space. The Company saw leasing momentum and foot traffic at our properties return to near pre-pandemic levels.

During 2022, microeconomic and macroeconomic conditions caused volatility in the financial markets and a rapid rise in inflation. The Federal Reserve has taken steps to mitigate the impact of inflation by raising its benchmark interest rate several times throughout the year. While the rate hikes enacted by the Federal Reserve have had a significant impact on interest rates and increased the cost of borrowing, we continue to see consumer confidence and a conviction in retail real estate. Tenant sales have increased year-over-year and the demand for retail spaces remains strong as evidenced by the record number of new leases we executed in 2022. The geographic location of our portfolio has also proven to be beneficial. With hybrid and remote work becoming more common, consumers have demonstrated that convenience and proximity are valued. The majority of our portfolio is located in one of the most supply-constrained and densely populated markets in the country and offers consumers easy access to essential services and retailers, including medical offices, grocers, and discounters. We expect to continue to add value to our portfolio through executing on our current leasing momentum, our active development, redevelopment and anchor repositioning projects, and commencement of leases signed but not yet opened.

*2022 Highlights*

Set forth below are highlights of our leasing activities, completed and activated development, redevelopment and anchor repositioning projects, and property acquisitions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Signed a record 69 new leases totaling approximately 1,032,434 square feet, including 55 new leases on a same-space<sup>(1)</sup> basis totaling 754,812 square feet at an average rental rate of $23.15 per square foot on a GAAP basis and

------

$21.34 per square foot on a cash basis, resulting in average rent spreads of 45.1% on a GAAP basis and 22.2% on a cash basis;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Renewed or extended 90 leases totaling 1,086,469 square feet, all of which are on a same-space<sup>(1)</sup> basis, at an average rental rate of $20.36 per square foot on a GAAP basis and $20.10 per square foot on a cash basis, generating average rent spreads of 9.2% on a GAAP basis and 6.0% on a cash basis;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Completed ten development, redevelopment and anchor repositioning projects, aggregating $105.2 million, four of which stabilized during the fourth quarter. The retenanting of the former Century21 space at Bergen Town Center with Kohl's was completed in October 2022 and ShopRite at Huntington Commons commenced operations in December 2022. Additionally, the Company stabilized two small shops projects at our property in Kearny, NJ and the Shops at Bruckner in the Bronx, NY;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Activated 14 development, redevelopment, and anchor repositioning projects aggregating $98.6 million, including Target at Bruckner Commons, Ralph's Grocer, Urology Hub and T.J. Maxx at The Outlets at Montehiedra, Bingo Wholesalers at Burnside Commons, and two industrial leases executed at our warehouse properties in East Hanover, NJ;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Acquired two properties for a total purchase price of $37.6 million inclusive of transaction costs, including the Shops at Riverwood acquired in June 2022. The property, located in Hyde Park, MA, sits on an eight acre site located just seven miles south of downtown Boston and is anchored by a grocer, Price Rite Marketplace, and has a strong array of national and regional tenants including Santander, Boston Medical Center, and Planet Fitness; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Restated and amended the Company's revolving credit agreement, increasing the facility size by $200 million to $800 million and extending the maturity date to February 9, 2027, with two six-month extension options.

<sup>(1)</sup> Same-space leases represent those leases signed on spaces for which there was a previous lease.

*2023 Outlook*

We intend to create value and grow earnings, funds from operations, and cash flows by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Adding essential tenants to our properties and positioning our retail environments with quality grocers, premium healthcare operators and elevated food offerings;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Managing our balance sheet to allow for flexibility and execution on financing and refinancing opportunities when identified;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Leasing vacant spaces, proactively extending leases, managing the exercise of tenant options and, when possible, replacing underperforming tenants with operators that can pay higher rents and positively impact our properties;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Expediting the delivery of space to tenants and the collection of rents from executed leases that have not yet commenced;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Generating additional income from our existing assets by redeveloping underutilized existing space, developing new space and pad sites, repositioning anchors, and incorporating non-retail uses such as industrial, self-storage, office and other uses; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Acquiring assets that meet our investment criteria.

There can be no assurance that we will be able to execute on our growth strategy, especially given the ongoing economic uncertainty. See Forward-Looking Statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

**Critical Accounting Estimates**

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, referred to as "GAAP", requires management to make estimates and assumptions that in certain circumstances affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and revenue and expenses. These estimates are prepared using management's best judgment, after considering past and current events and economic conditions. In addition, certain information relied upon by management in preparing such estimates includes internally generated financial and operating information, external market information, when available, and when necessary, information obtained from consultations with third-party experts. Actual results could differ from these estimates. A discussion of possible risks which may affect these estimates is included in Part I, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Management considers an accounting estimate to be critical if changes in the estimate could have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in <u>[Note 3](#i4f1f2869c5794d719c537ad865dff504_100)</u> to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The following accounting estimates are considered critical because they are particularly dependent on management's judgment about matters that have a significant level of uncertainty at the time the

------

accounting estimates are made, and changes to those estimates could have a material impact on our financial condition or operating results.

*Revenue Recognition and Receivables - Estimating Collectibility*

Rental revenue comprises revenue from fixed and variable lease payments, as designated within tenant operating leases*.* Components of this include contractual rents arising from tenant operating lease agreements, tenant expense reimbursements, and straight-line rental income. We evaluate the collectibility of amounts due from tenants and disputed enforceable charges on both a lease-by-lease and a portfolio-level basis, which result from the inability of tenants to make required payments under their operating lease agreements. We recognize changes in the collectibility assessment of these operating leases as adjustments to rental revenue in accordance with ASC 842 *Leases* which are recorded as rental revenue deemed uncollectible and are included within the line items Rental revenue on our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

Management exercises judgement when evaluating the collectibility of these receivables and will look to both quantitative and qualitative factors. Such factors include tenants' current credit status, either from third parties or using an internal risk assessment, payment history, amount of outstanding receivables, tenant sales performance, potential liquidity and current economic and sector specific trends. Changes in our assessments of collectibility are recognized as adjustments to rental revenue in accordance with ASC 842.

These assessments are inherently sensitive as they are based on the judgement of management and information available at the time of evaluation. We routinely reassess the quantitative and qualitative factors used to derive these estimates and believe the methods and assumptions noted above to be reasonable in evaluating collectibility. We have not had any changes to the methods or assumptions used to evaluate collectibility. Although we routinely reassess these estimates, taking into consideration all information available and future projections, they are subject to uncertainty and have a direct impact on our net income. Actual results may differ from these estimates and can have a material impact on our operating results.

*Real Estate - Estimates Related to Valuing Acquired Assets and Liabilities*

Upon the acquisition of real estate, we assess the fair value of acquired assets (including land, buildings and improvements, identified intangibles, such as acquired above and below-market leases, acquired in-place leases and tenant relationships) and acquired liabilities. We assess fair value based on estimated cash flow projections utilizing appropriate discount and capitalization rates and available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including historical operating results, known trends, and market/economic conditions. Based on these estimates, we allocate the purchase price to the applicable assets and liabilities based on their relative fair values at date of acquisition.

In allocating the purchase price to identified intangible assets and liabilities of an acquired property, the value of above-market and below-market leases is estimated based on the present value of the difference between the contractual amounts, including fixed rate below-market renewal options, to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and our estimate of the market lease rates and other lease provisions for comparable leases measured over a period equal to the estimated remaining term of the lease. Tenant related intangibles and improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the related lease term, including any bargain renewal options. We amortize identified intangibles that have finite lives over the period they are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to the future cash flows of the property or business acquired. We consider qualitative and quantitative factors in evaluating the likelihood of a tenant exercising a below market renewal option and include such renewal options in the calculation of in-place leases. If the value of below-market lease intangibles includes renewal option periods, we include such renewal periods in the amortization period utilized. If a lease terminates prior to its stated expiration, all unamortized amounts relating to that lease are written off.

Since the assessment of fair value and allocation of these amounts is made at the time of acquisition, they are subject to future changes in market conditions and tenants' ability to continue operations and their exercise of options and renewals. In the case that these assumptions change materially, they could have a material impact on our results and financial statements. During 2022, we acquired two properties and utilized the above factors, including the use of a third party, to allocate the purchase price of these properties among various assets and liabilities. Further information on these allocations can be found in Part II, Item 8, <u>[Note 4](#i4f1f2869c5794d719c537ad865dff504_103)</u> of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We have had no changes to our methods of fair value assessment and allocations during the year ended December 31, 2022.

*Real Estate - Estimates Related to Impairments*

Our properties are individually evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment exists when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the aggregate projected future cash flows over the anticipated holding period on an undiscounted basis taking into account the appropriate capitalization rate in determining a future terminal value. An impairment loss is measured based on the excess of the property's carrying amount over its estimated fair value. Estimated fair value may be based on discounted future cash flows utilizing

------

appropriate discount and capitalization rates and, in addition to available market information, third-party appraisals, broker selling estimates or sale agreements under negotiation. Impairment analyses are based on our current plans, intended holding periods and available market information at the time the analyses are prepared. If our estimates of the projected future cash flows change based on uncertain market conditions, our evaluation of impairment losses may be different and such differences could be material to our consolidated financial statements. The carrying value of a property may also be individually reassessed in the event a casualty occurs at that property. Casualty events may include property damage from a natural disaster or fire. When such an event occurs, management estimates the net book value of assets damaged over the property's total gross leasable area and adjusts the property's carrying value to reflect the damages. Estimates are subjective and may change if additional damage is later assessed or if future cash flows are revised.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, we have had no changes to the methods or assumptions used in our analyses of fair value of our real estate assets and have not incurred any material impairment losses. We operate in a business that has significant investments in real estate and our estimates of valuation are subject to current market conditions and tenant operations, which drive future cash flows, and are beyond our control. As these factors can result in changes to our estimates and result in material impairment losses, this is deemed a critical accounting estimate.

**Recent Accounting Pronouncements**

In March 2020 and January 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2020-04 *Reference Rate Reform (ASC 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting*, and ASU 2021-01 *Reference Rate Reform (ASC 848): Scope* which provides temporary optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform in contracts and other transactions that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met. ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. In December 2022, FASB issued ASU 2022-06 *Reference Rate Reform (ASC 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848*, which extended the final sunset date from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024. There were no modifications to our existing debt agreements as a result of reference rate reform in the current year, however, we refinanced two loans in 2022 previously indexed to LIBOR, which are now indexed to SOFR and the Prime Rate. We plan to transition all variable rate loans currently indexed to LIBOR to SOFR, based on discussions with our lenders.

Any other recently issued accounting standards or pronouncements not disclosed above have been excluded as they are not relevant to the Company or the Operating Partnership, or they are not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

**Recent SEC Reporting Updates**

On January 11, 2021, the SEC issued Final Rule Release No. 33-10890, Management's Discussion and Analysis, Selected Financial Data, and Supplementary Financial Information. This rule, which became effective on February 10, 2021, adopts amendments to modernize, simplify and enhance certain financial disclosure requirements in Regulation S-K. Specifically, the amendments eliminate the requirement for Selected Financial Data, streamline the requirement to disclose Supplementary Financial Information, and amend Management's Discussion & Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (''MD&A''). We early adopted the amendments to two items resulting in the elimination of Item 301, Selected Financial Data, and the omission of Item 302(a), Supplementary Financial Information. The amendments to Item 303(a)(b) MD&A were adopted in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

See <u>[Note 3](#i4f1f2869c5794d719c537ad865dff504_100)</u> to the audited consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for information regarding recent accounting pronouncements that may affect us. Additionally, see <u>[Note 7](#i4f1f2869c5794d719c537ad865dff504_112)</u> to the audited consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for information regarding recent amendments to the Internal Revenue Code.

**Results of Operations**

We derive substantially all of our revenue from rents received from tenants under existing leases on each of our properties. This revenue includes fixed base rents, recoveries of expenses that we have incurred and that we pass through to the individual tenants and percentage rents that are based on specified percentages of tenants' revenue, in each case as provided in the respective leases.

Our primary cash expenditures consist of our property operating and capital costs, general and administrative expenses, and interest and debt expense. Property operating expenses include: real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance, management expenses, insurance and utilities; general and administrative expenses, which include payroll, professional fees, information technology, office expenses and other administrative expenses; and interest and debt expense primarily consists of interest on our mortgage debt. In addition, we incur substantial non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization on our properties. We also capitalize certain expenses, such as taxes, interest and salaries related to properties under development or redevelopment until the property is ready for its intended use.

Our consolidated results of operations often are not comparable from period to period due to the impact of property acquisitions, dispositions, developments, redevelopments and changes in accounting policies. The results of operations of any acquired properties are included in our financial statements as of the date of acquisition. Our results of operations are affected by national, regional and local economic conditions, as well as macroeconomic conditions, which are at times subject to volatility and uncertainty. The current economic climate has increased volatility in the financial markets, which has resulted in a rise in already increasing inflation. Most of our leases require tenants to pay their share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance, thereby reducing our exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation, although some larger tenants have capped the amount of these operating expenses they are responsible for under their lease. The Federal Reserve has taken measures to suppress inflation by way of benchmark interest rate hikes, resulting in an increase in interest rates. As of December 31, 2022, approximately 91% of our outstanding debt is fixed rate, with the remaining 9% indexed to LIBOR, SOFR or the Prime Rate, plus an applicable margin per the loan agreement. We utilize interest rate derivative agreements to hedge the effect of rising interest rates on our variable rate debt. As of December 31, 2022, we were counter-party to one interest rate swap agreement and one interest rate cap agreement, both of which qualify for, and are designated as, hedging instruments. While we have not experienced any material adverse effects at this time, we are actively managing our business to respond to the ongoing economic and social impact from such events. See "Risk Factors" in Part I, Item 1A for more information.

*Comparison of the Year Ended December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2021* 

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $47.3 million, compared to net income of $107.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The following table summarizes certain line items from our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income that we believe are important in understanding our operations and/or those items which significantly changed in the year ended December 31, 2022 as compared to the same period of 2021:

Total revenue decreased by $27.1 million to $397.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2022 from $425.1 million in the year ended December 31, 2021. The decrease is primarily attributable to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $47.5 million decrease in non-cash revenues driven by accelerated amortization of below-market intangible liabilities in connection with certain lease terminations in 2021; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $0.8 million decrease in management and development fee income; offset by

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $16.2 million increase as a result of property acquisitions net of dispositions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $3.2 million decrease in rental revenue deemed uncollectible; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $1.8 million net increase in property rentals and tenant reimbursements due to rent commencements, contractual rent increases and higher tenant sales.

Depreciation and amortization increased by $6.1 million to $98.4 million in the year ended December 31, 2022 from $92.3 million in the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase is primarily attributable to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $9.7 million increase as a result of property acquisitions net of dispositions; offset by

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $3.6 million decrease due to assets taken out of service for active redevelopment projects and write-offs of fully depreciated assets and lease intangibles as a result of lease terminations and recurring depreciation.

Real estate tax expense decreased by $2.0 million to $61.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2022 from $63.8 million in the year ended December 31, 2021. The decrease is primarily attributable to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $2.4 million decrease as a result of successful tax appeals and lowered assessments; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $2.1 million of real estate taxes capitalized in connection with active development, redevelopment and anchor repositioning projects; offset by

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $2.5 million increase as a result of property acquisitions net of dispositions.

Property operating expenses increased by $5.8 million to $74.3 million in the year ended December 31, 2022 from $68.5 million in the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase is primarily attributable to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $3.0 million higher common area maintenance expenses across the portfolio as a result of increased repairs and maintenance, utility usage, cleaning, and landscaping at our properties in 2022 and spend reductions in 2021; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $2.8 million increase as a result of property acquisitions net of dispositions.

General and administrative expenses increased by $3.9 million to $43.1 million in the year ended December 31, 2022 from $39.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase is primarily attributable to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $2.5 million of executive transition costs including accelerated amortization of unvested equity awards recognized during 2022; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $1.4 million increase in professional fees, marketing, transaction and other expenses.

A gain on the sale of real estate of $0.4 million was recognized in 2022 in connection with the release of escrow funds related to a property disposed of in a prior period. We recognized a gain on sale of real estate of $18.6 million in 2021 related to the sale of three properties and one property parcel.

------

Interest income increased by $0.7 million to $1.1 million in the year ended December 31, 2022 from $0.4 million in the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in interest rates on our cash deposits.

Interest and debt expense increased by $1.0 million to $59.0 million in the year ended December 31, 2022 from $57.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase is primarily attributable to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $4.3 million increase in interest expense in connection with the mortgage loans obtained for the acquisitions of Woodmore Towne Centre in December 2021 and The Shops at Riverwood in June 2022; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $3.1 million increase in interest expense due to higher rates on our variable rate loans and the refinancing of our mortgage loans at Plaza at Cherry Hill and Plaza at Woodbridge in the second quarter of 2022; offset by

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $6.4 million increase in capitalized interest expense due to an increase in active development, redevelopment and anchor repositioning projects.

Income tax expense increased by $1.8 million to $2.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2022 from $1.1 million in the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase is primarily attributable to the performance of our properties in Puerto Rico and final adjustments to state and local income taxes in 2021.

*Comparison of the Year Ended December 31, 2021 to December 31, 2020*

Discussions of 2020 items and comparisons between the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, that are not included in this Report can be found in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in Part II, Item 7 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

**Non-GAAP Financial Measures**

We use NOI internally to make investment and capital allocation decisions and to compare the unlevered performance of our properties to our peers. Further, we believe NOI is useful to investors as a performance measure because, when compared across periods, NOI reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs and acquisition and disposition activity on an unleveraged basis, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to NOI is net income. NOI excludes certain components from net income in order to provide results that are more closely related to a property's results of operations. We calculate NOI by adjusting net income to add back depreciation and amortization expense, general and administrative expenses, casualty and real estate impairment losses, interest and debt expense, income tax expense and non-cash lease expense, and deduct management and development fee income from non-owned properties, gains on sale of real estate, interest income, non-cash rental income resulting from the straight-lining of rents and amortization of acquired below market leases net of above market leases. NOI should not be considered a substitute for net income and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by others.

We calculate same-property NOI using net income as defined by GAAP reflecting only those income and expense items that are reflected in NOI (as described above) and excluding properties that were under development, redevelopment or that involve anchor repositioning where a substantial portion of the gross leasable area is taken out of service, and also excluding properties acquired or sold during the periods being compared. We also exclude for the following items in calculating same-property NOI: lease termination fees, bankruptcy settlement income, and income and expenses that we do not believe are representative of ongoing operating results, if any. As such, same-property NOI assists in eliminating disparities in net income due to the development, redevelopment, acquisition or disposition of properties during the periods presented, and thus provides a more consistent performance measure for the comparison of the operating performance of the Company's properties, which the Company believes to be useful to investors. Same-property NOI should not be considered a substitute for net income and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by others.

Throughout this section, we have provided certain information on a "same-property" basis which includes the results of operations that were owned and operated for the entirety of the reporting periods being compared, which total 68 properties for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. Information provided on a same-property basis excludes properties that were under development, redevelopment or that involve anchor repositioning where a substantial portion of the gross leasable area is taken out of service and also excludes properties acquired or sold during the periods being compared. While there is judgment surrounding changes in designations, a property is removed from the same-property pool when a property is considered to be a redevelopment property because it is undergoing significant renovation or retenanting pursuant to a formal plan and is expected to have a significant impact on property operating income based on the retenanting that is occurring. A development or redevelopment property is moved back to the same-property pool once a substantial portion of the NOI growth expected from the development or redevelopment is reflected in both the current and comparable prior year period, generally one year after at least 80% of the expected NOI from the project is realized on a cash basis. Acquisitions are moved into the same-property pool once we have owned the property for the entirety of the comparable periods and the property is not under significant development or redevelopment.

------

Same-property NOI increased by $8.2 million, or 4.1%, for the year ended December 31, 2022 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2021. Same-property NOI, including properties in redevelopment, increased by $6.4 million, or 2.9%, for the year ended December 31, 2022 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2021. The comparability of results for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 were impacted by the write-off and subsequent collection of rental revenues previously deemed uncollectible, as well as lease modifications executed in 2021.

The following table reconciles net income to NOI and same-property NOI for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

**Funds From Operations** 

FFO applicable to diluted common shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $145.2 million compared to $180.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2021.

We calculate FFO in accordance with the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts' (''Nareit'') definition. Nareit defines FFO as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable real estate and land when connected to the main business of a REIT, impairments on depreciable real estate or land related to a REIT's main business, earnings from consolidated partially owned entities, and rental property depreciation and amortization expense. We believe FFO is a meaningful non-GAAP financial measure useful in comparing our levered operating performance from period to period both internally and among our peers because this non-GAAP measure excludes net gains on sales of depreciable real estate, real estate impairment losses, rental property depreciation and amortization expense which implicitly assumes that the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time rather than fluctuating based on market conditions. We believe the presentation of comparable period operating results generated from FFO provides useful information to investors because the definition excludes items included in net income that do not relate to, or are not, indicative of our operating and financial performance, such as depreciation and amortization related to real estate, and items which can make periodic and peer analyses of operating and financial performance more difficult, such as gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable real estate and land when connected to the main business of a REIT and impairments on depreciable real estate or land related to a REIT's main business. FFO does not represent cash flows from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of our performance, and is not indicative of cash flow as a measure of liquidity or our ability to make cash distributions. FFO may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by others.

The following table reflects the reconciliation of net income to FFO for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

------

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

Due to the nature of our business, the cash generated from operations is primarily paid to our shareholders and unitholders of the Operating Partnership in the form of distributions. Our status as a REIT requires that we generally distribute at least 90% of our REIT's ordinary taxable income each year. Our Board of Trustees declared a quarterly dividend of $0.16 per common share and OP unit for each of the four quarters in 2022, or an annual rate of $0.64. Historically, we have paid regular cash dividends; however, the timing, declaration, amount and payment of distributions to shareholders and unitholders of the Operating Partnership fall within the discretion of our Board of Trustees. Our Board of Trustees' decisions regarding the payment of dividends depend on many factors, such as maintaining our REIT status, our financial condition, earnings, capital requirements, debt service obligations, limitations under our financing arrangements, industry practice, legal requirements, regulatory constraints, and other factors.

Property rental income is our primary source of cash flow and is dependent on a number of factors, including our occupancy level and rental rates, as well as our tenants' ability to pay rent. Our properties have historically provided us with a relatively consistent stream of cash flow that enables us to pay operating expenses, debt service and recurring capital expenditures. Other sources of liquidity to fund cash requirements include proceeds from financings, equity offerings and asset sales. Additionally, we have an $800 million revolving credit agreement with certain financial institutions which has a maturity date of February 9, 2027 and includes two six-month extension options. See <u>[Note 6](#i4f1f2869c5794d719c537ad865dff504_109)</u> to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information on our revolving credit agreement.

Our short-term cash requirements consist of normal recurring operating expenses, lease obligations, regular debt service requirements, general and administrative expenses, expenditures related to leasing activity and distributions to shareholders and unitholders of the Operating Partnership. Our long-term capital requirements consist primarily of maturities under our long-term debt agreements, development and redevelopment costs and potential acquisitions. We have approximately $329 million of debt maturing within the next 12 months related to mortgage loans encumbering three of our properties and are actively exploring our options to refinance them.

At December 31, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, of $128.8 million and no amounts drawn on our $800 million revolving credit agreement. These amounts are readily available to fund the debt obligations discussed above which are coming due within the next year.

*Summary of Cash Flows*

Cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, was $128.8 million at December 31, 2022, compared to $219.8 million as of December 31, 2021, a decrease of $91.1 million.

Our cash flow activities are summarized as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Year Ended December 31,** | **Year Ended December 31,** |
| **(Amounts in thousands)** | **2022** | **2021** |

| Net cash used in investing activities | (151913) | (311160) |
| Net cash used in financing activities | (78767) | (23530) |

---

*Operating Activities*

Net cash provided by operating activities primarily consists of cash inflows from rental revenue and cash outflows for property operating expenses, general and administrative expenses and interest and debt expense.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2022 increased by $4.3 million as compared to December 31, 2021, due to new lease commencements and collection of previously billed and deferred amounts from 2021.

*Investing Activities*

Net cash used in investing activities is impacted by the timing and extent of our real estate development, capital improvements, and acquisition and disposition activities during the period.

Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2022, decreased by $159.2 million compared to December 31, 2021 due to a (i) $216.4 million decrease in cash used for acquisitions, offset by (ii) $36.5 million decrease in cash provided by the sale of properties and operating leases, and (iii) $20.7 million increase in cash used for real estate development and capital improvements.

The Company has 25 active development, redevelopment or anchor repositioning projects with total estimated costs of $216.0 million, of which $56.3 million has been incurred and $159.7 million remains to be funded as of December 31, 2022.

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Tenant improvements and allowances | 2399 | 3683 |
| Total capital expenditures | $116044 | $95377 |

---

*Financing Activities*

Net cash used in financing activities is impacted by the timing and extent of issuances of debt and equity securities, distributions paid to common shareholders and unitholders of the Operating Partnership as well as principal and other payments associated with our outstanding indebtedness.

Net cash used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2022, increased by $55.2 million from the year ended December 31, 2021 primarily due to (i) $80.2 million increase in debt repayments primarily related to the refinancing of the mortgage loans encumbering Plaza at Cherry Hill and Plaza at Woodbridge in 2022, (ii) $13.8 million decrease in proceeds from borrowings under mortgage loans, (iii) $7.3 million of deferred financing fees paid in 2022 in connection with the increase and extension of our line of credit under our revolving credit agreement and the refinancing of our loans at Plaza at Cherry Hill and Plaza at Woodbridge, and (iv) $4.6 million decrease in cash contributed by noncontrolling interests, offset by (v) $50.7 million decrease in distributions paid to shareholders and unitholders of the Operating Partnership for the declaration of a special dividend in the fourth quarter of 2020, paid in January 2021.

On June 23, 2022, in conjunction with the refinancing of the mortgage loan encumbering our property Plaza at Woodbridge, we entered into an interest rate cap agreement (the "Cap Agreement") with a third party to limit the maximum SOFR of our floating rate debt to 3%. On the date of the Cap Agreement, we elected to designate cash flow hedge accounting for this derivative instrument. Refer to <u>[Note 3](#i4f1f2869c5794d719c537ad865dff504_100)</u> and <u>[Note 9](#i4f1f2869c5794d719c537ad865dff504_70)</u> in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information related to derivatives and hedging.

On August 9, 2022, we amended and restated our revolving credit agreement to, among other things, increase the available amount under the facility by $200 million to $800 million and extend the maturity date to February 9, 2027, with two six-month extension options. Borrowings under the credit facility may be used to finance pre-development costs, development costs, acquisitions, working capital, equity investments, debt investments, capital expenditures and repayment of indebtedness, to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the amended and restated revolving credit agreement and for other general corporate purposes. As of December 31, 2022, there were no amounts drawn on the facility. Refer to <u>[Note 6](#i4f1f2869c5794d719c537ad865dff504_109)</u> in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information related to our revolving credit agreement.

On August 15, 2022, we entered into an equity distribution agreement with various sales agents, pursuant to which we may offer and sell common shares, par value $0.01 per share, with an aggregate gross sales price of up to $250 million (the "ATM Program"). The ATM Program replaces the Company's previous at-the-market program established in June 2021. As of December 31, 2022 we have not issued any common shares under the ATM Program. Refer to <u>[Note 14](#i4f1f2869c5794d719c537ad865dff504_133)</u>, Equity and Noncontrolling Interest, in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information related to this program.

*Contractual Obligations*

We have contractual obligations related to our mortgage loans that are both fixed and variable. Our variable rate loans bear interest at a floating rate based on LIBOR, SOFR and the Prime Rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.5% to 2.26%. When LIBOR is discontinued, the interest rates of our LIBOR-indexed debt following such event will be based on either alternate base rates, such as SOFR, or agreed upon replacement rates. We do not anticipate that the discontinuation of LIBOR will impact our ability to borrow or maintain already outstanding borrowings, but it could result in higher interest rates and accordingly, higher costs of borrowing to us. Further information on our mortgage loans can be found in <u>[Note 6](#i4f1f2869c5794d719c537ad865dff504_109)</u> to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. In addition, we have contractual obligations for certain properties that are subject to long-term ground and building leases where a third party owns and has leased the underlying land to us. We also have non-cancelable operating leases pertaining to office space from which we conduct our business. Below is a summary of our contractual obligations as of December 31, 2022:

<sup>(1)</sup> Includes interest and principal payments. Interest on variable rate debt is computed using rates in effect as of December 31, 2022. See <u>[Note 6](#i4f1f2869c5794d719c537ad865dff504_109)</u> to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information.

<sup>(2)</sup> See <u>[Note 8](#i4f1f2869c5794d719c537ad865dff504_115)</u> to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information.

Additional contractual obligations that have been excluded from this table are as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Obligations related to construction and development contracts, since amounts are not fixed or determinable. Such contracts will generally be due over the next two years;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Obligations related to maintenance contracts, since these contracts typically can be canceled upon 30 to 60 days' notice without penalty;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Obligations related to employment contracts with certain executive officers, since all agreements are subject to cancellation by either the Company or the executive without cause upon notice; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Recorded debt premiums or discounts that are not obligations.

We believe that cash flows from our current operations, cash on hand, our line of credit under our revolving credit agreement, the potential to refinance our loans and our general ability to access the capital markets will be sufficient to finance our operations and fund our obligations in both the short-term and long-term.

*Cybersecurity*

Cybersecurity is an integral part of the Board of Trustees' and the Audit Committee's risk analysis and discussions with management. As we see increased reliance on information technology in the workplace and our business operations, and a shift to remote and hybrid work schedules, Urban Edge has employed several measures to mitigate cyber risks.

In addition to a dedicated information technology and cybersecurity team monitoring our daily operations, the Company engages an independent third-party cybersecurity team for advisory services and penetration testing. We also have a Cyber Risk Committee which works in conjunction with the Computer Incident Response Team ("CIRT") to develop strategies to mitigate risks and to address any cyber issues that may arise. The Cyber Risk Committee meets quarterly to review emerging threats, controls, and procedures.

We utilize a risk-based approach following the National Institute of Standards and Technology ("NIST") Cybersecurity Framework (CSF), and Microsoft best practices. Our policies and procedures are reviewed and updated annually by the Cyber Risk Committee and incorporate third-party assessments to benchmark ourselves against industry standards. The Company utilizes advanced endpoint protection, firewalls, intrusion detection and prevention, threat intelligence, security event logging and correlation, and backup and redundancy systems. The Company also has cybersecurity coverage incorporated in its insurance policies.

We apprise employees of emerging risks and require them to undergo quarterly security awareness trainings. Additionally, we conduct internal phishing and other exercises to gauge the effectiveness of the trainings and assess the need for additional training.

*Termination of Management Agreements with Vornado*

In connection with the Company's spin-off from Vornado Realty Trust ("Vornado") in January 2015, the Company and Vornado entered into management agreements under which the Company provided management, development, leasing and other services to certain properties owned by Vornado and its affiliates, including Interstate Properties ("Interstate"), a partnership in which Steven Roth, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Vornado and a member of our Board of Trustees, is the managing general partner, and Alexander's, Inc., a company that Vornado owns a material interest in. Effective March 31, 2022, the Company and Vornado agreed to terminate these management agreements.

**ITEM 7A.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK**

*Interest Rate Risk*

We have exposure to fluctuations in interest rates, which are sensitive to many factors that are beyond our control. The following table discusses our exposure to hypothetical changes in market rates of interest on interest expense for our variable rate debt and fixed-rate debt. Interest rate risk amounts were determined by considering the impact of hypothetical interest rates on our debt. This analysis does not take into account all of the factors that may affect our debt, such as the effect that a changing interest rate environment could have on the overall level of economic activity or the action that our management might take to reduce our exposure to the change. This analysis assumes no change in our financial structure. Our exposure to a change in interest rates is summarized in the table below. As of December 31, 2022, our variable rate debt outstanding had rates indexed to LIBOR, SOFR, and the Prime Rate.

---

| | | | | | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2022** | **2022** | **2022** | **2022** | | **2021** | **2021** | **2021** |
| **(Amounts in thousands)** | **December 31, Balance** |  | **Weighted Average Interest Rate** | **Effect of 1% Change in Base Rates** |  | **December 31, Balance** |  | **Weighted Average Interest Rate** |
| Variable Rate | $159198 |  | 6.11% | $1592 |  | $161084 |  | 1.85% |
| Fixed Rate | 1540293 |  | 4.09% |  | <sup>(2)</sup> | 1534324 |  | 4.10% |
|  | $1699491 | <sup>(1)</sup> |  | $1592 |  | $1695408 | <sup>(1)</sup> |  |

---

<sup>(1)</sup> Excludes unamortized debt issuance costs of $7.8 million and $8.2 million as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

<sup>(2)</sup> If the weighted average interest rate of our fixed rate debt increased by 1% (i.e. due to refinancing at higher rates), annualized interest expense would increase by approximately $15.4 million based on outstanding balances as of December 31, 2022.

We may utilize various financial instruments to mitigate the impact of interest rate fluctuations on our cash flows and earnings, including hedging strategies, depending on our analysis of the interest rate environment and the costs and risks of such strategies. We do not enter into any financial instrument agreements, such as derivative agreements, for speculation or trading purposes. As of December 31, 2022, the Company was a counterparty to two interest rate derivative agreements which have been designated as cash flow hedges.

On June 23, 2022, in connection with the refinancing of one of our variable rate loans, we entered into a one-year interest rate cap agreement for a purchase price of approximately $0.3 million. The cap agreement has an expiration date of July 1, 2023 and limits the maximum SOFR of the variable loan it is hedged with to 3%. This derivative instrument is assessed quarterly and as of December 31, 2022 meets the criteria of an effective hedge.

*Fair Value of Debt*

The estimated fair value of our consolidated debt is calculated based on current market prices and discounted cash flows at the current rate at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings for the remaining term of such debt. As of December 31, 2022, the estimated fair value of our consolidated debt was $1.5 billion.

*Other Market Risks*

As of December 31, 2022, we had no material exposure to any other market risks (including foreign currency exchange risk or commodity price risk).

In making this determination and for purposes of the SEC's market risk disclosure requirements, we have estimated the fair value of our financial instruments at December 31, 2022 based on pertinent information available to management as of that date. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the estimated amounts as of December 31, 2022, future estimates of fair value and the amounts which may be paid or realized in the future may differ significantly from amounts presented.

**REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM**

To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of Urban Edge Properties

**Opinion on the Financial Statements**

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Urban Edge Properties and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes and the schedules listed in the Index at Item 15 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in *Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013)* issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 14, 2023, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

**Basis for Opinion**

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

**Critical Audit Matter**

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

**Real Estate Impairment —Refer to Notes 3 and 9 to the financial statements** 

*Critical Audit Matter Description*

The Company's real estate assets are individually evaluated for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company's evaluation of the recoverability of real estate assets involves the comparison of the projected undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by each real estate asset over the Company's estimated holding period to the respective carrying amount. The Company's undiscounted future cash flow analyses require management to make significant estimates, including estimated terminal values determined using appropriate capitalization rates. Total real estate assets as of December 31, 2022 had a net book value of $2.5 billion.

Given that the Company's estimated capitalization rates used in the evaluation of impairment of real estate assets is a significant assumption made by management, performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management's undiscounted future cash flow analyses required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our fair value specialists.

------

*How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit*

Our audit procedures related to the Company's estimated capitalization rates used in the evaluation of impairment of real estate assets included the following, among others:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We tested the effectiveness of the Company's internal controls over management's evaluation of the recoverability of real estate, including internal controls over management's determination of the reasonableness of the applicable capitalization rates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We inquired with management regarding their determination of the capitalization rates and evaluated the consistency of the capitalization rates used with evidence obtained in other areas of our audit.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• With the assistance of our fair value specialists, we evaluated the reasonableness of the Company's estimated capitalization rates by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ Testing the source information underlying the determination of the capitalization rates by evaluating the reasonableness of the capitalization rates used by management with independent market data, focusing on key factors, including geographical location, tenant composition, and property type.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ Developing a range of independent estimates of capitalization rates and comparing those to the capitalization rates selected by management.

**REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM**

To the Partners of Urban Edge Properties LP

**Opinion on the Financial Statements**

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Urban Edge Properties LP and subsidiaries (the "Operating Partnership") as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes and the schedules listed in the Index at Item 15 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements").

**URBAN EDGE PROPERTIES AND URBAN EDGE PROPERTIES LP**

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**1. ORGANIZATION**

Urban Edge Properties ("UE", "Urban Edge" or the "Company") (NYSE: UE) is a Maryland real estate investment trust focused on managing, developing, redeveloping, and acquiring retail real estate in urban communities, primarily in the Washington, D.C. to Boston corridor. Urban Edge Properties LP ("UELP" or the "Operating Partnership") is a Delaware limited partnership formed to serve as UE's majority-owned partnership subsidiary and to own, through affiliates, all of the Company's real estate properties and other assets. Unless the context otherwise requires, references to "we", "us" and "our" refer to Urban Edge Properties and UELP and their consolidated entities/subsidiaries.

The Operating Partnership's capital includes general and common limited partnership interests in the operating partnership ("OP Units"). As of December 31, 2022, Urban Edge owned approximately 96.1% of the outstanding common OP Units with the remaining limited OP Units held by members of management, Urban Edge's Board of Trustees and contributors of property interests acquired. Urban Edge serves as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. The third-party unitholders have limited rights over the Operating Partnership such that they do not have characteristics of a controlling financial interest. As such, the Operating Partnership is considered a variable interest entity ("VIE"), and the Company is the primary beneficiary which consolidates it. The Company's only investment is the Operating Partnership. The VIE's assets can be used for purposes other than the settlement of the VIE's obligations and the Company's partnership interest is considered a majority voting interest.

As of December 31, 2022, our portfolio consisted of 69 shopping centers, five malls and two industrial parks totaling approximately 17.2 million sf, which is inclusive of a 95% controlling interest in Walnut Creek, CA (Mt. Diablo), and an 82.5% controlling interest in Sunrise Mall, in Massapequa, NY.

**2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION**

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for annual financial information and with the instructions of Form 10-K. The consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 reflect the consolidation of the Company, the Operating Partnership, wholly-owned subsidiaries and those entities in which we have a controlling financial interest. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

In accordance with ASC 205 *Presentation of Financial Statements*, certain prior year balances have been reclassified in order to conform to the current period presentation.

Our primary business is the ownership, management, redevelopment, development and operation of retail shopping centers and malls. We do not distinguish our primary business or group our operations on a geographical basis for purposes of measuring performance. The Company's chief operating decision maker reviews operating and financial information at the individual operating segment. We aggregate all of our properties into one reportable segment due to their similarities with regard to the nature and economics of the properties, tenants and operations, as well as long-term average financial performance.

**3. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

***Use of Estimates*** — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most critical accounting policies, which involve the use of estimates and assumptions as to future uncertainties and, therefore, may result in actual amounts that differ from estimates include revenue recognition and collectibility of receivables, acquisitions of real estate and valuation of real estate. For more information on these estimates and policies refer to Part II, Item 7 "Critical Accounting Estimates" of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

***Real Estate*** — Real estate is carried at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs are expensed to operations as they are incurred. Significant renovations that improve or extend the useful lives of assets are capitalized. As real estate is undergoing redevelopment activities, all property operating expenses directly associated with and attributable to the redevelopment, including interest, are capitalized to the extent the capitalized costs of the property do not exceed the estimated fair value of the property when completed. If the cost of the redeveloped property, including the net book value of the existing property, exceeds the estimated fair value of redeveloped property, the excess is charged to impairment expense. The capitalization period begins when redevelopment activities are under way and ends when the project is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. Depreciation is recognized on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives which range from one to 40 years.

------

Upon the acquisition of real estate, we assess the fair value of acquired assets (including land, buildings and improvements, identified intangibles, such as acquired above and below-market leases, acquired in-place leases and tenant relationships) and assumption of liabilities and we allocate the purchase price based on these assessments on a relative fair value basis. We assess fair value based on estimated cash flow projections utilizing appropriate discount and capitalization rates and available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including historical operating results, known trends, and market/economic conditions. We record acquired intangible assets (including acquired above-market leases, acquired in-place leases and tenant relationships) and acquired intangible liabilities (including below-market leases) at their estimated fair value. We amortize identified intangibles that have finite lives over the period they are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to the future cash flows of the property or business acquired.

Our properties and development projects are individually evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Such events and changes include macroeconomic conditions, operating performance, and environmental and regulatory changes, which may result in property operational disruption and could indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment exists when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the aggregate projected future cash flows over the anticipated holding period on an undiscounted basis taking into account the appropriate capitalization rate in determining a future terminal value. An impairment loss is measured based on the excess of the property's carrying amount over its estimated fair value. Estimated fair value may be based on discounted future cash flows utilizing appropriate discount and capitalization rates and, in addition to available market information, third-party appraisals, broker selling estimates or sale agreements under negotiation. Impairment analyses are based on our current plans, intended holding periods and available market information at the time the analyses are prepared. If our estimates of the projected future cash flows change based on uncertain market conditions, our evaluation of impairment losses may be different and such differences could be material to our consolidated financial statements.

***Cash and Cash Equivalents*** — Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and are carried at cost, which approximates fair value due to their short-term maturities. The majority of our cash and cash equivalents consist of (i) deposits at major commercial banks, including money market accounts, which may at times exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit, (ii) United States Treasury Bills, and (iii) Certificate of Deposits placed through an Account Registry Service ("CDARS"). To date we have not experienced any losses on our invested cash.

***Restricted Cash*** — Restricted cash consists of security deposits and cash escrowed under loan agreements for debt service, real estate taxes, property insurance, tenant improvements, leasing commissions, capital expenditures and cash held for potential Internal Revenue Code Section 1031 tax deferred exchange transactions.

***Tenant and Other Receivables and Changes in Collectibility Assessment*** — Tenant receivables include unpaid amounts billed to tenants, disputed enforceable charges and accrued revenues for future billings to tenants for property expenses. We evaluate the collectibility of amounts due from tenants and disputed enforceable charges on both a lease-by-lease and a portfolio-level, which result from the inability of tenants to make required payments under their operating lease agreements. We recognize changes in the collectibility assessment of these operating leases as adjustments to rental revenue in accordance with ASC 842 *Leases*. Management exercises judgment in assessing collectibility and considers payment history, current credit status and publicly available information about the financial condition of the tenant, among other factors. Tenant receivables, and receivables arising from the straight-lining of rents, are written-off directly when management deems the collectibility of substantially all future lease payments from a specific lease is not probable, at which point, the Company will begin recognizing revenue from such leases prospectively, based on actual amounts received. This write-off effectively reduces cumulative non-cash rental income recognized from the straight-lining of rents since lease commencement. If the Company subsequently determines that it is probable it will collect substantially all of the lessee's remaining lease payments under the lease term, the Company will reinstate the receivables balance, including those arising from the straight-lining of rents.

***Deferred Leasing Costs*** — Deferred leasing costs include incremental costs of a lease that would have not been incurred if the lease had not been executed, including broker and sale commissions, and contingent legal fees. Such costs are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related leases as depreciation and amortization expense on the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. Deferred leasing costs also includes lease incentives that can be used at the discretion of the tenant. Lease incentives are capitalized and amortized over the term of the related leases as a reduction to rental revenue on the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

***Deferred Financing Costs*** — Deferred financing costs and debt issuance costs include fees associated with the issuance of our mortgage loans and our revolving credit agreement. Such fees are amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related agreements as a component of interest expense, which approximates the effective interest rate method, in accordance with the terms of the agreement. No amounts were drawn or outstanding under the revolving credit agreement as of December 31, 2022. Deferred financing costs associated with the revolving credit agreement are included in prepaid expenses and other assets on the

------

consolidated balance sheets. Deferred financing costs associated with our mortgage loans are included in Mortgages payable, net on the consolidated balance sheets.

***Revenue Recognition*** — We have the following revenue sources and revenue recognition policies:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Rental revenue: Rental revenue comprises revenue from fixed and variable lease payments, as designated within tenant operating leases in accordance with ASC 842 *Leases,* as described further in our Leases accounting policy in <u>[Note 3](#i4f1f2869c5794d719c537ad865dff504_100)</u> to the audited consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Rental revenue deemed uncollectible: We evaluate the collectibility of amounts due from tenants and disputed enforceable charges on both a lease-by-lease and a portfolio-level, which result from the inability of tenants to make required payments under their operating lease agreements. We recognize changes in the collectibility assessment of these operating leases as adjustments to rental revenue in accordance with ASC 842.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***•*** Other Income: Other income is generated in connection with certain services provided to tenants for which we earn a fee as well as management and development fee income from contractual property management agreements with third parties. This revenue is recognized as the services are transferred in accordance with ASC 606 *Revenue from Contracts with Customers*.

***Leases*** — We have approximately 900 operating leases at our properties, which generate rental income from tenants and operating cash flows for the Company. Our tenant leases are dependent on the Company, as lessor, agreeing to provide our tenants with the right to control the use of our real estate assets, as lessees. Our real estate assets are comprised of retail shopping centers, malls and industrial parks. Tenants agree to use and control their agreed upon space for their business purposes. Thus, our tenants obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of our shopping center space and have the right to direct how and for what purpose the real estate space is used throughout the period of use. Given these contractual terms, the Company has determined that all tenant contracts of this nature contain a lease. The Company assesses lease classification for each new and modified lease. All new and modified leases which commenced in the year ended December 31, 2022 have been assessed and classified as operating leases.

Contractual rent increases of renewal options are often fixed at the time of the initial lease agreement which may result in tenants being able to exercise their renewal options at amounts that are less than the fair value of the rent at the date of renewal. In addition to fixed base rents, certain rental income derived from our tenant leases is variable and may be dependent on percentage rent or the Consumer Price Index ("CPI"). Variable lease payments from percentage rents are earned by the Company in the event the tenant's gross sales exceed certain amounts. Terms of percentage rent are agreed upon in the tenant's lease and will vary based on the tenant's sales. Variable lease payments dependent on the CPI, will change in accordance with the corresponding increase or decrease in CPI if negotiated and agreed upon in the tenant's lease. Variable lease payments dependent on percentage rent and the CPI were $9.2 million and $9.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Variable lease payments also arise from tenant expense reimbursements, which provide for the recovery of all or a portion of the operating expenses, common area maintenance expenses, real estate taxes, insurance and capital improvements of the respective property and amounted to $103.3 million and $101.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company accounts for variable lease payments as rental revenue on the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income in the period in which the changes in facts and circumstances on which the variable lease payments are based occur.

The Company also has twenty properties in its portfolio either completely or partially on land or in a building that are owned by third parties. These properties are leased or subleased to us pursuant to ground leases, building leases or easements, with remaining terms ranging from two to 77 years and provide us the right to operate each such property. We also lease or sublease real estate for our two corporate offices with remaining terms of less than one year. Right-of-use ("ROU") assets are recorded for these leases, which represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from these leases. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present value of lease payments over the lease term. The initial measurement of a ROU asset may differ from the initial measurement of the lease liability due to initial direct costs, prepaid lease payments and lease incentives. As of December 31, 2022, no other contracts have been identified as leases. Our leases often offer renewal options, which we assess against relevant economic factors to determine whether the Company is reasonably certain of exercising or not exercising the option. Lease payments associated with renewal periods, for which the Company has determined are reasonably certain of being exercised, are included in the measurement of the corresponding lease liability and ROU asset.

For finance leases and operating leases, the discount rate applied to measure each ROU asset and lease liability is based on the incremental borrowing rate of the lease due to the rate implicit in the lease not being readily determinable. The Company initially considers the general economic environment and factors in various financing and asset specific secured borrowings so that the overall incremental borrowing rate is appropriate to the intended use of the lease. Certain expenses derived from these

------

leases are variable and are not included in the measurement of the corresponding lease liability and ROU asset, but are recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. These variable lease payments consist of payments for real estate taxes and common area maintenance, which is dependent on projects and activities at each individual property under ground or building lease.

***Noncontrolling Interests*** — Noncontrolling interests in consolidated subsidiaries represent the portion of equity that we do not own in those entities that we consolidate. We identify our noncontrolling interests separately within the equity section on the consolidated balance sheets. Noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership include OP units and limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership in the form of long-term incentive plan ("LTIP") unit awards classified as equity.

***Variable Interest Entities*** — Certain entities that do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties, or for which the equity owners as a group lack any one of the following characteristics: (i) the power, through voting rights or similar rights, to direct the activities of a legal entity that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance, (ii) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the legal entity, or (iii) the right to receive the expected residual returns of the legal entity, qualify as VIEs. VIEs are required to be consolidated by their primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary of a VIE has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact economic performance of the VIE and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The consolidated financial statements reflect the consolidation of VIEs in which the Company is the primary beneficiary.

Management uses its judgment when determining if we are the primary beneficiary of, or have a controlling financial interest in, an entity in which we have a variable interest. Factors considered in determining whether we have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance include voting rights, involvement in day-to-day capital and operating decisions and the extent of our involvement in the entity.

Excluding the Operating Partnership, the Company had two entities that met the criteria of a VIE in which we held variable interests as of December 31, 2022 and 2021. These entities are VIEs primarily because the noncontrolling interests do not have substantive kick-out or participating rights and we control the significant operating decisions and consequently have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of these entities. As we also have the obligation to absorb the majority of the losses and/or the right to receive a majority of the benefits for these entities, they were consolidated in our financial statements as of December 31, 2022 and 2021. The majority of the operations of these VIEs are funded with cash flows generated by the properties and periodic cash contributions.

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, excluding the Operating Partnership, the two consolidated VIEs had total assets of $47.6 million and $48.5 million, respectively and total liabilities of $23.2 million and $24.7 million, respectively.

***Earnings Per Share and Unit*** — Basic earnings per common share and unit is computed by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders and unitholders by the weighted average common shares and units outstanding during the period. Unvested share-based payment awards that entitle holders to receive non-forfeitable dividends, such as our restricted stock awards, are classified as "participating securities." Because the awards are considered participating securities, the Company and the Operating Partnership are required to apply the two-class method of computing basic and diluted earnings that would otherwise have been available to common shareholders and unitholders. Under the two-class method, earnings for the period are allocated between common shareholders and unitholders and other shareholders and unitholders, based on their respective rights to receive dividends. During periods of net loss, losses are allocated only to the extent the participating securities are required to absorb their share of such losses. Diluted earnings per common share and unit reflects the potential dilution of the assumed exercises of shares including stock options and unvested restricted shares to the extent they are dilutive.

***Share-Based Compensation*** — We grant stock options, LTIP units, OP units, deferred share units, restricted share awards and performance-based units to our officers, trustees and employees. The term of each award is determined by the compensation committee of our Board of Trustees (the "Compensation Committee"), but in no event can such term be longer than ten years from the date of grant. The vesting schedule of each award is determined by the Compensation Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, at the date of grant of the award. Dividends are paid on certain shares of unvested restricted stock, which makes the restricted stock a participating security.

Fair value is determined, depending on the type of award, using either the Black-Scholes option-pricing model or the Monte Carlo method, both of which are intended to estimate the fair value of the awards at the grant date. In using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, expected volatilities and dividend yields are primarily based on available implied data and peer group companies' historical data. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

Compensation expense for restricted share awards is based on the fair value of our common shares at the date of the grant and is recognized ratably over the vesting period. For grants with a graded vesting schedule or a cliff vesting schedule, we have

------

elected to recognize compensation expense on a straight-line basis. The OPP unrecognized compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the remaining life of the OPP awards issued. Share-based compensation expense is included in general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

When the Company issues common shares as compensation, it receives a like number of common units from the Operating Partnership. Accordingly, the Company's ownership in the Operating Partnership will increase based on the number of common shares awarded under our 2015 Omnibus Share Plan. As a result of the issuance of common units to the Company for share-based compensation, the Operating Partnership accounts for share-based compensation in the same manner as the Company.

***Income Taxes*** — The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT under sections 856-860 of the Code, commencing with the filing of its 2015 tax return for its tax year ended December 31, 2015. So long as the Company qualifies as a REIT under the Code, the Company will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on net taxable income that it distributes annually to its shareholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT for any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income taxes at regular corporate rates and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for the four subsequent taxable years. The Company is subject to certain foreign and state and local income taxes, in particular income taxes arising from its operating activities in Puerto Rico, which are included in income tax expense in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. In addition, the Company's taxable REIT subsidiary ("TRS") is subject to income tax at regular corporate rates.

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The Company provides a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for which it does not consider realization of such assets to be more likely than not.

The Company applies the FASB's guidance relating to uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a Company's financial statements. Under this guidance the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, and accounting in interim periods. The Company records interest and penalties relating to unrecognized tax benefits, if any, as income tax expense.

***Concentration of Credit Risk*** — A concentration of credit risk arises in our business when a national or regionally-based tenant occupies a substantial amount of space in multiple properties owned by us. In that event, if the tenant suffers a significant downturn in its business, it may become unable to make its contractual rent payments to us, exposing us to potential losses in rental revenue, expense recoveries, and percentage rent. Further, the impact may be magnified if the tenant is renting space in multiple locations. Generally, we do not obtain security from our national or regionally-based tenants in support of their lease obligations to us. We regularly monitor our tenant base to assess potential concentrations of credit risk. None of our tenants accounted for more than 10% of total revenues in the year ended December 31, 2022. As of December 31, 2022, The Home Depot, Inc. was our largest tenant with six stores which comprised an aggregate of 808,926 sf and accounted for approximately $21.4 million, or 5.4% of our total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022.

***Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging*** — At times, the Company may use derivative financial instruments to manage and mitigate exposure to fluctuations in interest rates on our variable rate debt. These derivatives are measured at fair value and are recognized as assets or liabilities on the Company's consolidated balance sheets, depending on the Company's rights or obligations under the respective derivative contracts. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative varies based on eligibility and Company elections, including the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate the derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting, and whether the hedge relationship has satisfied certain criteria to be deemed an effective hedge. Effectiveness of the hedging relationship is assessed on a quarterly basis by a third party to determine if the relationship still meets the criteria to be considered an effective hedge. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges.

In a cash flow hedge, hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the earnings effect of the hedged transaction. A derivative instrument designated as a cash flow hedge is adjusted to fair value on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The change in fair value, net of the amortization of the purchase price of the instrument, is deemed to be the effective portion of change and is recognized in Other Comprehensive Income ("OCI") in the Company's consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, with the amortization of the purchase price included in interest and debt expense. Cash flows from the derivative are included in the

***Recently Issued Accounting Literature***

In March 2020 and January 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2020-04 *Reference Rate Reform (ASC 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting*, and ASU 2021-01 *Reference Rate Reform (ASC 848): Scope* which provides temporary optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform in contracts and other transactions that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met. ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. In December 2022, FASB issued ASU 2022-06 *Reference Rate Reform (ASC 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848*, which extended the final sunset date from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024. There were no modifications to our existing debt agreements as a result of reference rate reform in the current year, however, we refinanced two loans in 2022 previously indexed to LIBOR, which are now indexed to SOFR and the Prime Rate. We plan to transition all variable rate loans currently indexed to LIBOR to SOFR, based on discussions with our lenders.

In April 2020, the FASB issued a question-and-answer document (the "Lease Modification Q&A") focused on the application of lease accounting guidance to lease concessions provided as a result of COVID-19. Under existing lease guidance, the Company would have to determine, on a lease by lease basis, if a lease concession was the result of a new arrangement reached with the tenant (treated with the lease modification accounting framework) or if a lease concession was under the enforceable rights and obligations within the existing lease agreement (precluded from applying the lease modification accounting framework). The Lease Modification Q&A clarifies that entities may elect to not evaluate whether lease-related relief, that lessors provide to mitigate the economic effects of COVID-19 on lessees, is a lease modification under ASC 842. Instead, when the cash flows resulting from the lease concession granted for COVID-19 rent relief are substantially the same or less than the cash flows of the original contract, an entity may elect to apply the modification guidance (i.e. assume the relief was always contemplated by the contract or assume the relief was not contemplated by the contract).

The FASB stated that there are multiple ways to account for rent concessions, none of which the FASB believes are more preferable than the others. Two of those methods are: (i) account for the concessions as if no changes to the lease contract were made; under that accounting, a lessor would continue to increase its lease receivable and continue to recognize income, referred to as the "receivable approach"; or (ii) account for the deferred payments or abatements as variable lease payments; under that accounting, a lessor would recognize the payment as income in profit or loss in the period in which the changes in facts and circumstances on which the variable lease payments are based occurred, referred to as the "variable approach".

The Company made the election to account for rent concessions using the receivable approach or variable approach on a disaggregated basis, with such election applied consistently to leases with similar characteristics and similar circumstances. The Company has granted rent deferrals accounted under both the receivable approach by electing the Lease Modification Q&A and as modifications due to term extensions of the leases. The Company has also granted abatements accounted for under both the variable approach and as modifications due to the executed agreements including other rental term modifications, such as term extensions and substantial changes in cash flows.

Any other recently issued accounting standards or pronouncements not disclosed above have been excluded as they are not relevant to the Company or the Operating Partnership, or they are not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Amortization of acquired below-market leases, net of acquired above-market leases resulted in rental income of $6.7 million, $55.2 million, and $10.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. On September 29, 2021, the Company entered into agreements to terminate certain leases, effective October 15, 2021. The modification of these leases resulted in accelerated amortization of the below-market intangible lease liabilities of $45.9 million which is included in rental revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021. The intangibles related to these leases were fully amortized and subsequently written-off in 2021.

Amortization of acquired in-place leases and customer relationships resulted in depreciation and amortization expense of $10.9 million, $8.6 million, and $10.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. During 2021, we recognized $0.4 million of accelerated amortization of the in-place lease intangibles related to the terminations of the leases noted above.

The net carrying amount of real estate collateralizing the above indebtedness amounted to approximately $1.5 billion as of December 31, 2022. Our mortgage loans contain covenants that limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness on these properties and in certain circumstances require lender approval of tenant leases and/or yield maintenance upon repayment prior to maturity. As of December 31, 2022, we were in compliance with all debt covenants.

As of December 31, 2022, the principal repayments for the next five years and thereafter are as follows:

*Revolving Credit Agreement*

On January 15, 2015, we entered into a $500 million Revolving Credit Agreement (the "Agreement") with certain financial institutions. On March 7, 2017, we amended and extended the Agreement. The amendment increased the credit facility size by $100 million to $600 million and extended the maturity date to March 7, 2021 with two six-month extension options. On July 29, 2019, we entered into a second amendment to the Agreement to extend the maturity date to January 29, 2024 with two six-month extension options.

On June 3, 2020, we entered into a third amendment to the Agreement, which among other things, modifies certain definitions and the measurement period for certain financial covenants to a trailing four-quarter period instead of the most recent quarter period annualized.

On August 9, 2022, we restated and amended the Agreement, in order to, among other things, increase the credit facility size by $200 million to $800 million and extend the maturity date to February 9, 2027, with two six-month extension options. Borrowings under the amended and restated Agreement are subject to interest at SOFR plus 1.05% to 1.50% and an annual facility fee of 15 to 30 basis points. Both the spread over SOFR and the facility fee are based on our current leverage ratio and are subject to change. The Agreement contains customary financial covenants including a maximum leverage ratio of 60% and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.5x.

No amounts were drawn or outstanding under the Agreement as of December 31, 2022 and 2021. As of December 31, 2022, financing costs associated with executing the Agreement of $6.7 million, are included in the prepaid expenses and other assets line item of the consolidated balance sheets, as deferred financing costs, net.

*Mortgage on Plaza at Cherry Hill*

On June 3, 2022, the Company refinanced the mortgage loan secured by its property, Plaza at Cherry Hill, located in Cherry Hill, NJ, with a new $29 million, 3-year, floating rate mortgage. The floating rate is calculated as the Prime Rate plus 50 basis points with a floor of 4.25% and is interest-only for the entire loan term.

*Mortgage on Plaza at Woodbridge*

On June 8, 2022, the Company refinanced the mortgage loan secured by its property, Plaza at Woodbridge, located in Woodbridge, NJ, and entered into a new 5-year loan agreement for $52.9 million. The terms of the loan require payment of interest at a floating rate equal to 2.26% plus one-month SOFR. Additionally, the agreement with the lender requires the Company to enter into an interest rate cap agreement to limit the maximum SOFR to 3% if the current rate is greater than 2% for five consecutive business days. On June 23, 2022, the Company purchased a one-year interest rate cap for $0.3 million which has been designated as a hedging instrument.

*Mortgage on The Shops at Riverwood*

On June 24, 2022, the Company obtained a 7-year non-recourse mortgage loan of $21.5 million at a fixed interest rate of 4.25% to partially fund the acquisition of The Shops at Riverwood.

------

*Mortgage on Las Catalinas Mall*

In April 2020, we notified the servicer of the $129 million non-recourse mortgage loan on Las Catalinas Mall in Puerto Rico that cash flow would be insufficient to service the debt and that we were unwilling to fund the shortfalls. In December 2020, the non-recourse mortgage loan on Las Catalinas Mall was modified to convert the mortgage from an amortizing 4.43% loan to interest only payments, starting at 3.00% in 2021 and increasing 50 basis points annually until returning to 4.43% in 2024 and thereafter. The terms of the modification enable the Company, at its option, to repay the loan at a discounted value of $72.5 million, beginning in August 2023 through the extended maturity date of February 2026.

While it is possible we will be able to repay the loan at the discounted value in the future, it is contingent upon certain factors including the future operating performance of the property as well as the ability to meet all required payments on the loan. Therefore, in accordance with ASC 470-60 *Troubled Debt Restructurings*, the Company did not recognize a gain at the time of the restructuring, as the future cash payments, including contingent payments, are greater than the carrying value of the mortgage payable.

We have accrued interest of $5.4 million related to this mortgage, which is included in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2022. We incurred $1.2 million of lender fees in connection with the loan modification which are treated as a reduction of the mortgage payable balance and amortized over the term of the loan in accordance with the provisions under ASC 470-60.

*Mortgage on The Outlets at Montehiedra*

In connection with the refinancing of the loan secured by The Outlets at Montehiedra in the second quarter of 2020, the Company provided a $12.5 million limited corporate guarantee. The guarantee is reduced commensurate with the loan amortization schedule and will reduce to zero in approximately 3.8 years. As of December 31, 2022, the remaining exposure under the guarantee is $8.0 million. There was no separate liability recorded related to this guarantee.

**7. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;INCOME TAXES**

The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT under sections 856-860 of the Code, commencing with the filing of its 2015 tax return for its tax year ended December 31, 2015. So long as the Company qualifies as a REIT under the Code, the Company will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on net taxable income that it distributes annually to its shareholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT for any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income taxes at regular corporate rates and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for the four subsequent taxable years. The Company is subject to certain foreign and state and local income taxes, in particular income taxes arising from its operating activities in Puerto Rico, which are included in income tax expense in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. In addition, the Company's taxable REIT subsidiary ("TRS") is subject to income tax at regular corporate rates.

The Company satisfied its REIT distribution requirement by distributing $0.64, $0.60 and $0.68 per common share in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The distributions comprised a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.16 and $0.15 per common share declared for each quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company declared a regular cash dividend of $0.22 per common share for the first quarter of 2020 and a special cash dividend of $0.46 per common share in December 2020. The taxability of such dividends for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 are as follows:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Year Ended December 31,** | **Year Ended December 31,** | **Year Ended December 31,** |
| | **2022** | **2021** | **2020** |
| Dividend paid per share<sup>(1)</sup> | $0.64 | $0.60 | $0.68 |
| Ordinary income | 100% | 100% | 100% |
| Return of capital | —% | —% | —% |
| Capital gains | —% | —% | —% |

---

<sup>(1)</sup> The special cash dividend of $0.46 per common share declared in December 2020, and paid in January 2021, was fully allocable to the 2020 tax year.

For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the REIT and other minority members are partners in the Operating Partnership. As such, the partners are required to report their share of taxable income on their respective tax returns. However, the Company maintains certain non-real estate operating activities that could not be performed by the REIT, and occur through the Company's TRS, which is subject to federal, state and local income taxes. These income taxes are included in income tax expense in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

------

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the REIT was subject to Puerto Rico corporate income taxes on its allocable share of the Company's Puerto Rico operating activities. The Puerto Rico corporate income tax consists of a flat 18.5% tax rate plus a graduated income surcharge tax for a maximum corporate income tax rate of 37.5%. In addition, the REIT is subject to a 10% branch profits tax on the earnings and profits generated from its allocable share of the Company's Puerto Rico operating activities and such tax is included in income tax expense in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

As a result of The Outlets at Montehiedra mortgage refinancing and the Las Catalinas Mall troubled debt restructuring that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized a gain on extinguishment of debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes and implemented various tax planning strategies to limit its impact on the Company's overall U.S. federal taxable income. The strategies implemented resulted in the recognition of a state and local income tax liability and corresponding deferred tax asset for the REIT of $4.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2020. During the year ended December 31, 2021, based on the filing of the 2020 state and local income tax returns, this amount was reduced by $1.2 million due to the final taxable amount being lower than what was originally estimated. During the year ended December 31, 2022, no state and local income tax was recognized as a result of the transactions.

A reduction of the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance is required if, based on the evidence available, it is more likely than not (a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Management's determination of the ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which the underlying temporary differences become deductible. As of December 31, 2022, with the exception of certain state and local deferred tax assets, management determined that it is more likely than not that all deferred tax assets will be realized. The Company recorded a valuation allowance against certain state and local deferred tax assets because management determined it is not more likely than not that these state and local deferred tax assets will be realized. There has been no change to the valuation allowance recorded against these state and local deferred tax assets during 2022.

We account for uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740 *Income Taxes* on the basis of a two-step process whereby (i) we determine whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (ii) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, we recognize the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.

During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, income before income taxes from the Company's operating activities in the United States was $41.2 million and $100.4 million, respectively, and in Puerto Rico was $9.1 million and $8.5 million, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Puerto Rico income tax expense was $2.9 million, as compared to a Puerto Rico income tax expense of $2.4 million and a REIT state and local income tax benefit of $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax effect of temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of taxable assets and liabilities and for the tax effect of carried forward tax attributes such as net operating losses and tax credits.

**8. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;LEASES**

*Leases as lessor* 

We have approximately 900 operating leases at our retail shopping centers, malls and industrial properties which generate rental income from tenants and operating cash flows for the Company. Our tenant base comprises a diverse group of merchants including department stores, supermarkets, discounters, entertainment offerings, health clubs, DIY stores, in-line specialty shops, restaurants and other food and beverage vendors and service providers. Tenant leases under 10,000 sf generally have lease terms of 5 years or less. Tenant leases 10,000 sf or more are considered anchor leases and generally have lease terms of 10 to 25 years, with one or more renewal options available upon expiration of the initial lease term. Contractual rent increases for the renewal options are often fixed at the time of the initial lease agreement which may result in tenants being able to exercise their renewal options at amounts that are less than the fair value of the rent at the date of renewal.

*Leases as lessee* 

As of December 31, 2022, the Company had twenty properties in its portfolio either completely or partially on land or in a building owned by third parties. These properties are leased or subleased to us pursuant to ground leases, building leases or easements, with remaining terms ranging from two to 77 years and provide us the right to operate the property. We also lease or sublease real estate for our two corporate offices with remaining terms of less than one year.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company reassessed the lease term of one of its ground leases due to our election to renew the ground lease and remeasured the lease liability by using revised inputs as of the reassessment date of the respective lease. As a result of the reassessment, the Company recorded an additional $1.1 million of operating lease ROU asset and corresponding lease liability related to the ground lease.

On December 31, 2020, the Company recognized $5.7 million of operating lease ROU assets and $0.7 million of corresponding operating lease liabilities in connection with the Company's acquisition of Sunrise Mall, which included the acquisition of the lessee positions of ground leases.

The components of lease expense for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 were as follows:

**9. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS**

ASC 820, *Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures* defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value. The objective of fair value is to determine the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (the exit price). ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three levels: Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities; Level 2 - observable prices based on inputs not quoted in active markets, but corroborated by market data; and Level 3 - unobservable inputs used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. In determining fair value, we utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible as well as consider counterparty credit risk in our assessment of fair value.

*Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis*

Financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets consist of one interest rate cap and one interest rate swap. We rely on third-party valuations that use market observable inputs, such as credit spreads, yield curves and discount rates, to assess the fair value of these instruments. In accordance with the fair value hierarchy established by ASC 820, these financial instruments have been classified as Level 2 as quoted market prices are not readily available for valuing the assets. The table below summarizes the recorded amount of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2022:

------

<sup>(1)</sup> Included in Prepaid expenses and other assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

There were no financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2021.

*Derivatives and Hedging*

When we designate a derivative as a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of the instrument will be recognized in OCI until the gains or losses are reclassified to earnings. Derivatives that are not designated as hedges are adjusted to fair value through earnings. As of December 31, 2022, the Company was a counterparty to two interest rate derivative agreements which have been designated as cash flow hedges.

On June 23, 2022, in conjunction with the refinancing of the mortgage loan encumbering our property Plaza at Woodbridge, we entered into an interest rate cap agreement (the "Cap Agreement") with a third party to limit the maximum SOFR of our floating rate debt to 3%. On the date of the Cap Agreement, we elected to designate cash flow hedge accounting for this derivative instrument.

The table below summarizes our derivative instruments, which are used to hedge the corresponding variable rate debt, as of December 31, 2022:

*Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis*

There were no financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

*Financial Assets and Liabilities not Measured at Fair Value*

Financial assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets include cash and cash equivalents and mortgages payable. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. The fair value of mortgages payable is calculated based on current market prices and discounted cash flows at the current rate at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings for the remaining term of such debt, which is provided by a third-party specialist. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents is classified as Level 1 and the fair value of mortgages payable is classified as Level 2. The table below summarizes the carrying amounts and fair value of our level 2 financial instruments as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

------

*Nonfinancial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis*

We assess the carrying value of our properties for impairment, when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Such events and changes include macroeconomic conditions, operating performance, and environmental and regulatory changes, which may result in property operational disruption and could indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

There were no impairment charges recognized during the year ended December 31, 2022.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recognized impairment charges on two retail properties that the Company was actively marketing. The Company recognized an impairment charge of $0.4 million on its property in Westfield, NJ which was sold on July 22, 2021. Additionally, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $0.1 million on its ground lease in Vallejo, CA which was sold on December 21, 2021. Prior to these dispositions, the carrying value of these assets exceeded the estimated fair value less costs to sell. The aggregated fair values of $7.9 million were based on sale agreements under negotiation with third-party buyers.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $3.1 million on a parcel of our property in Lodi, NJ, which was sold on January 8, 2021. Prior to the sale of the parcel, the carrying value of this property exceeded its estimated fair value less costs to sell of $7.2 million. The fair value of the parcel was based on a sale agreement under negotiation with a third-party buyer.

The Company believes the inputs utilized to measure these fair values were reasonable in the context of applicable market conditions, however due to the significance of the unobservable inputs in the overall fair value measures, including market conditions and expectations for growth, the Company determined that such fair value measurements are classified as Level 3.

Aggregate impairment charges of $0.5 million and $3.1 million, respectively, are included as an expense within casualty and impairment loss on our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

**10. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES**

*<u>Legal Matters</u>*

From time to time, we are a party to various legal proceedings, claims or regulatory inquiries and investigations arising out of, or incident to, our ordinary course of business. While we are unable to predict with certainty the outcome of any particular matter, management does not currently expect, when such matters are resolved, that our resulting exposure to loss contingencies, if any, will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or consolidated financial position.

*<u>Redevelopment and Anchor Repositioning</u>*

The Company has 25 active development, redevelopment or anchor repositioning projects with total estimated costs of $216 million, of which $159.7 million remains to be funded as of December 31, 2022. We continue to monitor the stabilization dates of these projects, which can be impacted from economic conditions affecting our tenants, vendors and supply chains. We have identified future projects in our development pipeline, but we are under no obligation to execute and fund any of these projects and each of these projects is being further evaluated based on market conditions.

*<u>Insurance</u>* 

The Company maintains numerous insurance policies including for general liability, property, pollution, acts of terrorism, trustees' and officers', cyber, workers' compensation and automobile-related liabilities. However, all such policies are subject to terms, conditions, exclusions, deductibles and sub-limits, amount other limiting factors. For example, the Company's terrorism insurance excludes coverage for nuclear, biological, chemical or radiological terrorism events as defined by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act.

The Company's primary and excess insurance policies providing coverage for pollution related losses have an aggregate limit of $50 million and provide remediation and business interruption coverage for pollution incidents, which pursuant to our policies expressly include the presence and dispersal of viruses. On December 23, 2020, the Company initiated litigation in New Jersey state court, Bergen County, under these policies to recover uncollected rents and other amounts resulting from the COVID-19 virus.

Insurance premiums are typically charged directly to each of the properties but not all of the cost of such premiums are recovered. The Company is responsible for deductibles, losses in excess of insurance coverage, and the portion of premiums not reimbursable by tenants at our properties, which could be material.

------

We continue to monitor the state of the insurance market and the scope and costs of available coverage. We cannot anticipate what coverage will be available on commercially reasonable terms in the future and expect premiums across most coverage lines to increase in light of recent events. The incurrence of uninsured losses, costs or uncovered premiums could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and consolidated financial position.

Certain of our loans and other agreements contain customary covenants requiring the maintenance of insurance coverage. Although we believe that we currently have adequate insurance coverage for purposes of these agreements, we may not be able to obtain an equivalent amount of coverage at reasonable costs in the future. If lenders or other counterparties insist on greater coverage than we are able to obtain, such requirement could materially and adversely affect our ability to finance our properties and expand our portfolio.

*<u>Environmental Matters</u>*

Each of our properties has been subjected to varying degrees of environmental assessment at various times. Based on these assessments, we have accrued costs of $1.6 million and $1.7 million on our consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, for remediation costs for environmental contamination at certain properties. While this accrual reflects our best estimates of the potential costs of remediation at these properties, there can be no assurance that the actual costs will not exceed these amounts. Although we are not aware of any other material environmental contamination, there can be no assurance that the identification of new areas of contamination, changes in the extent or known scope of contamination, the discovery of additional sites, or changes in cleanup requirements would not result in significant costs to us.

*<u>Bankruptcies</u>*

Although our rental revenue is supported by long-term leases, leases may be rejected in a bankruptcy proceeding and the related tenant stores may permanently vacate prior to lease expiration. In the event a tenant with a significant number of leases or square footage in our shopping centers files for bankruptcy and rejects its leases with us, we could experience a reduction in our revenues. We monitor the operating performance and rent collections of all tenants in our shopping centers, especially those tenants in arrears or operating retail formats that are experiencing significant changes in competition, business practice, or store closings in other locations. As of December 31, 2022, we have not experienced any material adverse effects from tenant bankruptcies. On January 17, 2023, Party City filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. The Company has three leases with Party City comprising approximately 35,000 sf, which generate $1.1 million in annual rental revenue. One of these leases, which generates $0.4 million in annual rental revenue, is a franchise and is not impacted by the bankruptcy filing. Additionally, according to public reports, Bed Bath & Beyond is at risk of filing for bankruptcy and has seven leases with us, including wholly-owned store concepts buybuy Baby and Harmon Face Values. These leases generate $4.6 million in annual rental revenue. At this time we have not experienced any material adverse effects from either tenant but may in the future.

**14. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;EQUITY AND NONCONTROLLING INTEREST**

**At-The-Market Program**

On August 15, 2022 the Company and the Operating Partnership entered into an equity distribution agreement (the "Equity Distribution Agreement") with various financial institutions acting as agents, forward sellers, and forward purchasers. Pursuant to the Equity Distribution Agreement, the Company may from time to time offer and sell, through the agents and forward sellers, the Company's common shares, par value $0.01 per share, having an aggregate offering price of up to $250 million (the "ATM Program"). Concurrently with the Equity Distribution Agreement, the Company entered into separate master forward confirmations (collectively, the "Master Confirmations") with each of the forward purchasers. Sales under the ATM Program may be made from time to time, as needed, by means of ordinary brokers' transactions or other transactions that are deemed to be "at the market" offerings, in privately negotiated transactions, which may include block trades, or as otherwise agreed with the sales agents. The ATM Program replaces the Company's previous at-the-market program established on June 7, 2021.

The Equity Distribution Agreement provides that the Company may also enter into forward sale agreements pursuant to any Master Confirmation and related supplemental confirmations with the forward purchasers. In connection with any forward sale agreement, a forward purchaser will, at the Company's request, borrow from third parties, through its forward seller, and sell a number of shares equal to the amount provided in such agreement.

As of December 31, 2022, the Company has not issued any common shares under the ATM Program. Future sales will depend on a variety of factors including, but not limited to, market conditions, the trading price of our common shares, and our capital needs. The Company has no obligation to sell any shares under the ATM Program.

**Share Repurchase Program**

In March 2020, the Company's Board of Trustees authorized a share repurchase program for up to $200 million of the Company's common shares. Under the program, the Company may repurchase its shares from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions in compliance with Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 10b-18. The amount and timing of the purchases will depend on a number of factors including the price and availability of the Company's shares, trading volume and general market conditions. The share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common shares and may be suspended or discontinued at any time at the Company's discretion.

------

During the years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, no shares were repurchased by the Company. As of December 31, 2022, the Company has repurchased 5.9 million common shares at a weighted average share price of $9.22, for a total of $54.1 million. All share repurchases by the Company were completed between March and April of 2020. There is approximately $145.9 million remaining for share repurchases under this program.

**Units of the Operating Partnership**

The Operating Partnership's capital includes general and common limited partnership interests in the operating partnership. As of December 31, 2022, Urban Edge owned approximately 96.1% of the outstanding common OP Units with the remaining limited OP Units held by members of management, Urban Edge's Board of Trustees and contributors of property interests acquired. Urban Edge serves as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. The third-party unitholders have limited rights over the Operating Partnership such that they do not have characteristics of a controlling financial interest. As such, the Operating Partnership is considered a VIE, and the Company is the primary beneficiary which consolidates it. The Company's only investment is the Operating Partnership. The VIE's assets can be used for purposes other than the settlement of the VIE's obligations and the Company's partnership interest is considered a majority voting interest.

**Dividends and Distributions**

During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company declared distributions on our common shares and OP units of $0.64 and $0.60 per share/unit, respectively. This comprised regular quarterly dividends of $0.16 and $0.15 per common share and OP unit declared for each quarter in 2022 and 2021, respectively.

During the year ended December 31, 2020 the Company declared distributions on our common shares and OP units of 0.68 per share/unit in the aggregate, which comprised a regular quarterly dividend of $0.22 per common share and OP unit declared for the first quarter of 2020 and a special cash dividend of $0.46 per common share and OP unit declared in December 2020 and paid on January 19, 2021. As a result of COVID-19 and the uncertainties it generated, the Company temporarily suspended quarterly dividend distributions for the second and third quarters of 2020.

We have a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the "DRIP"), whereby shareholders may use their dividends to purchase shares. During the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, 5,512, 4,442 and 3,445 shares were issued under the DRIP, respectively.

**Noncontrolling Interests in Operating Partnership**

Noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership reflected on the consolidated balance sheets of the Company are comprised of OP units and limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership in the form of LTIP unit awards. LTIP unit awards were granted to certain executives pursuant to our 2015 Omnibus Share Plan (the "Omnibus Share Plan") and our 2018 Inducement Equity Plan (the "Inducement Plan"). OP units were issued to contributors in exchange for their property interests in connection with the Company's property acquisitions in 2017.

The total of the OP units and LTIP units represent a 4.0% weighted-average interest in the Operating Partnership for the year ended December 31, 2022. Holders of outstanding vested LTIP units may, from and after two years from the date of issuance, redeem their LTIP units for cash, or for the Company's common shares on a one-for-one basis, solely at our election. Holders of outstanding OP units may redeem their units for cash or the Company's common shares on a one-for-one basis, solely at our election. During the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, 250,000, 100,000 and 1,355,836 units, respectively, were redeemed for an equivalent amount of common shares of the Company.

**Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Subsidiaries**

The Company's noncontrolling interests relate to the 5% interest held by others in our property in Walnut Creek, CA (Mount Diablo) and 17.5% held by others in our property in Massapequa, NY. The net income attributable to noncontrolling interests is presented separately in our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

**15. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION** 

**Omnibus Share Plan**

On January 7, 2015 our board and initial shareholder approved the Urban Edge Properties Omnibus Share Plan (the "Omnibus Share Plan"), under which awards may be granted up to a maximum of 15,000,000 of our common shares or share equivalents. Pursuant to the Omnibus Share Plan, stock options, LTIP units, operating partnership units and restricted shares were granted.

**Long-Term Incentive Plans**

On February 24, 2017, the Company established the 2017 Outperformance Plan ("2017 OPP") under the Omnibus Share Plan, a multi-year, performance-based equity compensation plan under which participants, including our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, have the opportunity to earn awards in the form of LTIP units if, and only if, we achieve predetermined total shareholder return ("TSR") thresholds and/or the TSRs of certain peer companies over the three-year period beginning on the date the plan was established. The fair value of the 2017 OPP on the date of grant was $4.1 million.

On February 22, 2018, the Company established the 2018 Long-Term Incentive Plan ("2018 LTI Plan") under the Omnibus Share Plan. The plan is a multi-year, equity compensation program under which participants, including our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, have the opportunity to earn awards in the form of LTIP units that vest based on the passage of time and performance goals tied to our relative and absolute TSR. Equity awards granted under the 2018 LTI Plan are weighted, in terms of grant date and fair value, 80% performance-based and 20% time-based. The fair value of the 2018 LTI Plan on the date of grant was $3.6 million

On April 4, 2019, the Company established the 2019 Long-Term Incentive Plan ("2019 LTI Plan") under the Omnibus Share Plan. The plan is a multi-year, equity compensation program under which participants, including our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, have the opportunity to earn awards in the form of LTIP units that vest based on the passage of time (one-third of the program) and performance goals tied to our relative and absolute TSR during the three-year performance period following their grant (two-thirds of the program). The fair value of the 2019 LTI Plan on the date of grant was $6.3 million.

In the years ending December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020 we recognized $0.9 million, $2.1 million and $3.5 million, respectively, of compensation expense related to the 2017 OPP, 2018 LTI Plan and 2019 LTI Plan. The compensation expense incurred during the year ended December 31, 2020, included $0.2 million related to the 2015 OPP Plan which expired in February 2020. As of December 31, 2022, there was less than $0.1 million unrecognized compensation cost related to the 2018 LTI Plan.

**2018 Inducement Equity Plan**

On September 26, 2018, the Company established an equity incentive plan to induce certain executives to join the Company (the "Inducement Plan"). Under the Inducement Plan, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Trustees may grant, subject to any Company performance conditions as specified by the Compensation Committee, awards to individuals who were not previously employees as an inducement material to the individual's entry into employment with the Company. The terms and conditions of the Inducement Plan and any awards thereunder granted are substantially similar to those under the 2015 Omnibus Share Plan. The Company has granted an aggregate of 352,890 restricted LTIP Units and 2,000,000 stock options under the Inducement Plan with grant date fair values of $7.2 million and $9.3 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2022, there were no outstanding unvested LTIP units or stock options related to this plan.

**2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan**

On February 20, 2020, the Company established the 2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan ("2020 LTI Plan") under the Omnibus Share Plan. The plan is a multi-year, equity compensation program under which participants, including our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, have the opportunity to earn awards in the form of LTIP units that vest based on the passage of time (one-third of the program) and performance goals tied to our relative and absolute TSR during the three-year performance period following their grant (two-thirds of the program). The total grant date fair value under the 2020 LTI Plan was $8.8 million comprising performance-based and time-based awards.

*Performance-based awards*

For the performance-based awards under the 2020 LTI Plan, participants, have the opportunity to earn awards in the form of LTIP Units if Urban Edge's absolute and/or relative TSR meets certain criteria over the three-year Performance Period beginning on February 20, 2020 and ending on February 19, 2023. The Company granted performance-based awards under the 2020 LTI Plan that represent 630,774 LTIP Units. The fair value of the performance-based award portion of the 2020 LTI Plan on the date of grant was $5.9 million using a Monte Carlo simulation to estimate the fair value through a risk-neutral premise. Assumptions include historical volatility (21.4%), risk-free interest rates (1.4%), and historical daily return as compared to certain peer companies.

Under the Absolute TSR component, 40% of the LTIP Units will be earned if the Company's TSR over the Performance Period is equal to 18%, 100% of the LTIP Units will be earned if the Company's TSR over the Performance Period is equal to 27%, and 165% of the LTIP Units will be earned if the Company's TSR over the Performance Period is equal to or greater than 36%.

We have calculated earnings per share ("EPS") under the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation methodology whereby EPS for each class of Urban Edge common shares and participating securities is calculated according to dividends declared and participating rights in undistributed earnings. Restricted shares issued pursuant to our share-based compensation program are considered participating securities, and as such, have non-forfeitable rights to receive dividends.

The computation of diluted EPS reflects potential dilution of securities by adding potential common shares, including stock options and unvested restricted shares, to the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 there were options outstanding for 3,930,762 shares that potentially could be exercised for common shares. During the year ended December 31, 2020 there were options outstanding for 4,930,762 shares that potentially could be exercised for common shares. During the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, no options were included in the diluted EPS calculation as their exercise prices were higher than the average market prices of our common shares. In addition, as of December 31, 2022 there were 53,378 unvested restricted shares outstanding that potentially could become unrestricted common shares. The computation of diluted EPS for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 included 59,459, 54,988, and 77,289 weighted average unvested restricted shares outstanding, respectively, as their effect is dilutive.

The effect of the redemption of OP and vested LTIP units is not reflected in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share, as they are redeemable for common shares on a one-for-one basis. The income allocable to such units is allocated on this same basis and reflected as noncontrolling interests in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. As such, the assumed redemption of these units would have no net impact on the determination of diluted earnings per share since they would be anti-dilutive.

**Controls and Procedures (Urban Edge Properties)**

***Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures***

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")) that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Because of inherent limitations, disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of disclosure controls and procedures are met.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is processed, recorded, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.

***Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting***

The management of Urban Edge Properties and subsidiaries (the "Company") is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company, defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company's principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the Company's Board of Trustees, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting, which requires the use of certain estimates and judgments, and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and trustees of the Company; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and fraud. In designing and evaluating our control system, management recognized that any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, that may affect our operation have been or will be detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management's override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions that cannot be anticipated at the present time, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected.

------

The Company's management assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022. In making this assessment, the Company's management used the criteria set forth by the Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 Framework) (the COSO criteria). Based on this assessment, management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2022, the Company's internal control over financial reporting was effective in providing reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022 has been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm as stated in their attestation report which is included herein.

***Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting***

In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in *Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013)* issued by COSO.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022, of the Company and our report dated February 14, 2023, expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

**Basis for Opinion** 

The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

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

**Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting**

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

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

<sup>(1)</sup> Includes an aggregate of (i) 32,134 common shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding unvested options (excluding 2,907,129 common shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding vested options) and (ii) 2,759,557 common shares issuable in exchange for common units which may, upon satisfaction of certain conditions, be issuable pursuant to outstanding LTIP Units in our Operating Partnership ("LTIP Units"). The LTIP Units outstanding as of December 31, 2022 include 1,087,613 LTIP Units issued pursuant to our 2020 LTI Plan, 2021 LTI Plan, and 2022 LTI Plan which remain subject to performance-based vesting criteria.

<sup>(2)</sup> The LTIP Units do not have an exercise price. Accordingly, these awards are not included in the weighted-average exercise price calculation.

<sup>(3)</sup> Includes (i) 1,873,435 common shares remaining available for issuance under the Urban Edge Properties 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "Plan") and (ii) 2,104,499 common shares remaining available under the Urban Edge Properties 2015 Employee Share Purchase Plan ("ESPP"). The number of common shares remaining available for issuance under the Plan is based on awards being granted as "Full Value Awards," as defined in the Plan, including awards such as restricted stock, LTIP units or performance units that do not require the payment of an exercise price. If we were to grant awards other than "Full Value Awards," as defined in the Plan, including stock options or stock appreciation rights, the number of securities remaining available for future issuance under the Plan would be 3,746,869. Pursuant to the terms of the ESPP, on each January 1 prior to the tenth anniversary of the ESPP's effective date, an additional number of common shares will be added to the maximum number of shares authorized for issuance under the ESPP equal to the lesser of (a) 0.1% of the total number of common shares outstanding on December 31 of the preceding calendar year and (b) 150,000 common shares; provided that the Compensation Committee of our Board of Trustees may act prior to January 1 of any calendar year to provide that there will be no increase in the share reserve for that calendar year, or that the increase in the share reserve for that calendar year shall be less than the increase that would otherwise occur.

<sup>(4)</sup> Relates to the Urban Edge Properties 2018 Inducement Equity Plan, which is an omnibus equity plan pursuant to which we may grant a variety of equity awards pursuant to the employment inducement award exemption provided by Section 303A.08 of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual, including options, share appreciation rights, performance shares, restricted shares and other share-based awards including LTIP Units. A total of 170,628 common shares are authorized to be issued under the 2018 Inducement Equity Plan. The 2018 Inducement Equity Plan has a ten-year term expiring on September 20, 2028 and generally may be amended at any time by our Board of Trustees. Included in the 170,628 common shares authorized to be issued under the 2018 Inducement Equity Plan are an aggregate of (i) 170,628 common shares issuable in exchange for common units which may, upon satisfaction of certain conditions, be issuable pursuant to outstanding LTIP Units in our Operating Partnership ("LTIP Units") (excluding 1,000,000 common shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding vested options).

## Exhibit 4.1

**Exhibit 4.1**

**Description of Securities**

The following is a summary of the material terms of the common shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Shares"), of Urban Edge Properties, a Maryland real estate investment trust (the "Company"), as well as certain relevant provisions of the amended and restated declaration of trust (the "Declaration of Trust") and amended and restated bylaws (the "Bylaws") of the Company, the Maryland General Corporation Law (the "MGCL") and the Maryland REIT Law. A more complete description is available by referring to the full text of the Declaration of Trust, the Bylaws and the MGCL. The Company's Declaration of Trust authorizes 500,000,000 Common Shares and 200,000,000 preferred shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.01 per share (the "Preferred Shares").

**Dividend, Voting and Other Rights of Holders of Common Shares**

The holders of Common Shares are entitled to receive dividends if, when and as authorized by the Board of Trustees of the Company (the "Board") and declared by the Company out of assets legally available to pay dividends, if receipt of the dividends is in compliance with the provisions in the Declaration of Trust restricting the ownership and transfer of shares and the preferential rights of any other class or series of shares.

Subject to the provisions of the Declaration of Trust regarding the restrictions on ownership and transfer of shares and except as may otherwise be specified in the terms of any class or series of shares of beneficial interest, holders of Common Shares will be entitled to one vote for each Common Share on all matters on which shareholders are entitled to vote, including elections of trustees. There is no cumulative voting in the election of trustees, which means that the holders of a majority of the outstanding Common Shares can elect all of the trustees then standing for election. A majority of the votes cast at a meeting of shareholders at which a quorum is present is sufficient to approve any matter, other than the election of trustees (see "Certain Provisions of Maryland Law and of the Declaration of Trust and Bylaws - The Board of Trustees" below), on which shareholders are entitled to vote, unless more than a majority of the votes cast is required by statute or by the Declaration of Trust.

Generally, the holders of Common Shares will not have any conversion, sinking fund, redemption, appraisal or preemptive rights to subscribe to any securities of the Company. If the Company is dissolved, liquidated or wound up, subject to the preferential rights of any Preferred Shares outstanding, holders of Common Shares will be entitled to share proportionally in any assets remaining after the Company satisfies (i) the prior rights of creditors, including holders of indebtedness of the Company, and (ii) the aggregate liquidation preference of any Preferred Shares then outstanding.

Subject to the provisions of the Declaration of Trust regarding the restrictions on ownership and transfer of shares, Common Shares will have equal dividend, distribution, liquidation and other rights and will have no preference or exchange rights. The rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of Common Shares will be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of any class or series of Preferred Shares that the Company may designate and issue in the future.

The transfer agent for the Common Shares is American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, New York, New York.

**Listing**

------

The Common Shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "UE".

**Power to Increase Authorized Shares and Issue Additional Shares**

The Board has the authority, without shareholder approval, to amend the Declaration of Trust to increase or decrease the aggregate number of authorized shares or the number of shares of any class or series that the Company has authority to issue, to issue additional authorized but unissued Common Shares or Preferred Shares and to classify or reclassify unissued Common Shares or Preferred Shares and thereafter to issue such classified or reclassified shares. These actions may be taken without shareholder approval, unless shareholder approval is required by applicable law, the terms of any other class or series of shares or the rules of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the securities of the Company may be listed or traded. The Board could authorize the Company to issue additional classes or series of Common Shares or Preferred Shares that could, depending upon the terms of the particular class or series, delay, defer or prevent a transaction or a change of control of the Company, even if such transaction or change of control involves a premium price for the shareholders of the Company or shareholders believe that such transaction or change of control may be in their best interests.

**Restrictions on Ownership and Transfer of Shares**

***The Beneficial Ownership Limit***

For the Company to maintain its qualification as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), not more than 50% of the value of its outstanding shares of beneficial interest may be owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals at any time during the last half of a taxable year and the shares of beneficial interest must be beneficially owned by 100 or more persons during at least 335 days of a taxable year of 12 months, or during a proportionate part of a shorter taxable year (except, in each case, with respect to the first taxable year for which an election to be taxed as a REIT is made). The Code defines "individuals" to include some entities for purposes of the preceding sentence. All references to a shareholder's ownership of Common Shares in this "The Beneficial Ownership Limit" section assume application of the applicable attribution rules of the Code under which, for example, a shareholder is deemed to own shares owned by his or her spouse.

The Declaration of Trust contains several provisions restricting the ownership and transfer of shares of the Company that are designed to satisfy the REIT provisions of the Code. These provisions may also deter non-negotiated acquisitions of, and proxy contests for, control of the Company by third parties. The Declaration of Trust contains a limitation that restricts, with some exceptions, shareholders from owning more than 9.8% (in value or number of shares, whichever is more restrictive) of the outstanding shares of any class or series. This percentage is referred to as the "beneficial ownership limit".

Shareholders should be aware that events other than a purchase or other transfer of shares may result in ownership, under the applicable attribution rules of the Code, of shares of the Company in excess of the beneficial ownership limit. For instance, if two shareholders, each of whom owns 6% of the outstanding Common Shares, were to marry, then after their marriage both shareholders would be deemed to own 12% of the outstanding Common Shares, which is in excess of the beneficial ownership limit. Similarly, if a shareholder who is treated as owning 6% of the outstanding Common Shares purchased a 50% interest in a corporation which owns 10% of the outstanding Common Shares, then the shareholder would be deemed to own 11% of the outstanding Common Shares immediately after such purchase.

***Closely Held and General Restriction on Ownership***

------

In addition, shares of beneficial interest may not be transferred if, as a result, more than 50% in value of outstanding shares would be owned by five or fewer individuals or if such transfer would otherwise cause the Company to fail to qualify as a REIT.

***The Constructive Ownership Limit***

Under the Code, rental income received by a REIT from persons in which the REIT is treated, under the applicable attribution rules of the Code, as owning a 10% or greater interest does not constitute qualifying income for purposes of the income requirements that REITs must satisfy. For these purposes, a REIT is treated as owning any shares owned, under the applicable attribution rules of the Code, by a person that owns 10% or more of the value of the outstanding shares of the REIT. The attribution rules of the Code applicable for these purposes are different from those applicable with respect to the beneficial ownership limit. All references to a shareholder's ownership of shares of the Company in this "The Constructive Ownership Limit" section assume application of the applicable attribution rules of the Code.

In order to ensure that rental income of the Company will not be treated as nonqualifying income under the rule described in the preceding paragraph, and thus to ensure that the Company will not inadvertently lose its REIT status as a result of the ownership of shares by a tenant or a person that holds an interest in a tenant, the Declaration of Trust restricts, with some exceptions, shareholders from owning, directly or indirectly, more than 9.8% (in value or number of shares, whichever is more restrictive) of the outstanding shares of any class or series. The 9.8% ownership limit is referred to as the "constructive ownership limit".

Shareholders should be aware that events other than a purchase or other transfer of shares may result in ownership, under the applicable attribution rules of the Code, of shares in excess of the constructive ownership limit. As the attribution rules that apply with respect to the constructive ownership limit differ from those that apply with respect to the beneficial ownership limit, the events other than a purchase or other transfer of shares which may result in share ownership in excess of the constructive ownership limit may differ from those which may result in share ownership in excess of the beneficial ownership limit.

***Automatic Transfer to a Trust If the Ownership Limits Are Violated***

The Declaration of Trust provides that a purported or attempted transfer of shares of any class or series that would otherwise result in ownership, under the applicable attribution rules of the Code, of shares in excess of the beneficial ownership limit or the constructive ownership limit, would cause the shares to be beneficially owned by fewer than 100 persons, would result in the Company being "closely held" (within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code) or would otherwise cause the Company to fail to qualify as a REIT will be void and the purported transferee will acquire no rights or economic interest in such shares. In addition, the Declaration of Trust provides that, if the provisions causing a transfer to be void do not prevent a violation of the restrictions mentioned in the preceding sentence, the shares that would otherwise be owned, under the applicable attribution rules of the Code, in excess of the beneficial ownership limit or the constructive ownership limit will be automatically transferred to one or more trusts (each, a "charitable trust") for the benefit of one or more charitable beneficiaries, appointed by us, effective as of the close of business on the business day prior to the date of the relevant purported or attempted transfer.

Shares held in a charitable trust will be issued and outstanding shares. Pursuant to the Declaration of Trust, the purported or attempted transferee will have no rights in the shares held in a charitable trust and will not benefit economically from ownership of any shares held in the charitable trust, will have no rights to dividends or other distributions and will have no right to vote or other rights attributable to the shares held in the charitable trust. Instead, the Declaration of Trust provides that the trustee of the charitable trust

------

will have all voting rights and rights to dividends or other distributions with respect to Common Shares held in the charitable trust, to be exercised for the exclusive benefit of the charitable beneficiary. Under the Declaration of Trust, any dividend or other distribution paid prior to the discovery by the Company that the Common Shares have been transferred to the charitable trust shall be paid by the holder of such dividend or other distribution to the trustee upon demand and any dividend or other distribution authorized but unpaid shall be paid when due to the trustee. Subject to Maryland law, the trustee of the charitable trust has the authority (i) to rescind as void any vote cast by a purported transferee prior to the discovery by the Company that the shares have been transferred to the charitable trust and (ii) to recast such vote in accordance with the instructions of the trustee acting for the benefit of the charitable beneficiary. However, if the Company has already taken irreversible trust action, then the trustee will not have the authority to rescind and recast the vote.

Under the Declaration of Trust, within 20 days of receiving notice from the Company that the shares have been transferred to the charitable trust, the trustee of the charitable trust is required to sell the shares held in the charitable trust to a person or persons, designated by the trustee, whose ownership of the shares will not violate the restrictions on ownership and transfer noted above. Upon such sale, the Declaration of Trust provides that the interest of the charitable beneficiary in the shares sold terminates and the trustee of the charitable trust is required to distribute the net proceeds of the sale to the purported transferee and to the charitable beneficiary as follows: the purported transferee will receive the lesser of (i) the price paid by the purported transferee for the shares or, if the purported transferee did not give value for the shares in connection with the event causing the shares to be held in the charitable trust (e.g., in the case of a gift, devise or other such transaction), the market price (as defined in the Declaration of Trust) of the shares on the day of the event causing the shares to be held in the charitable trust and (ii) the price per share received by the trustee (net of any commissions and other expenses of sale) from the sale or other disposition of the shares held in the charitable trust. The trustee of the charitable trust may reduce the amount payable to the purported transferee by the amount of dividends and other distributions which have been paid to the purported transferee and are owed by the purported transferee to the charitable trust, as described above. Any net sales proceeds in excess of the amount payable to the purported transferee will be paid immediately to the charitable beneficiary. If, prior to the discovery by the Company that Common Shares have been transferred to the charitable trust, such shares are sold by a purported transferee, then (1) such shares shall be deemed to have been sold on behalf of the charitable trust and (2) to the extent that the purported transferee received an amount for such shares that exceeds the amount that such purported transferee would have been entitled to receive if such shares had been sold by the charitable trust, such excess shall be paid to the trustee upon demand.

The Declaration of Trust provides that any shares transferred to the charitable trust are deemed to have been offered for sale to the Company, or its designee. The price at which the Company, or its designee, may purchase the shares transferred to the charitable trust will be equal to the lesser of (i) the price paid by the purported transferee for the shares or, if the purported transferee did not give value for the shares in connection with the event causing the shares to be held in the charitable trust (*e.g.*, in the case of a gift, devise or other such transaction), the market price of the shares on the day of the event causing the shares to be held in the charitable trust and (ii) the market price of the shares on the date that the Company, or its designee, accepts the offer. Upon a sale to the Company, the interest of the beneficiary in the shares sold will terminate and the trustee will distribute the net proceeds of the sale to the purported transferee.

The Company may reduce the amount payable to the purported transferee by the amount of dividends and other distributions that have been paid to the purported transferee and are owed by the purported transferee to the charitable trust, as described above. The right of the Company to accept the offer described above exists for as long as the charitable trust has not otherwise sold the shares held in the charitable trust.

------

In addition, if the Board determines that a transfer or other event has occurred that would violate the restrictions on ownership and transfer of shares described above, the Board may take such action as it deems advisable to refuse to give effect to or to prevent such transfer, including, but not limited to, causing the Company to redeem shares, refusing to give effect to the transfer on the books of the Company or instituting proceedings to enjoin the transfer.

***Other Provisions Concerning the Restrictions on Ownership***

The Board, in its sole discretion, may prospectively or retroactively exempt persons from the beneficial ownership limit and the constructive ownership limit and increase or decrease the beneficial ownership limit and constructive ownership limit for one or more persons if, in each case, the Board obtains such representations, covenants and undertakings as the Board may deem appropriate in order to conclude that such exemption or modification will not cause the Company to lose its status as a REIT. In addition, the Board may require such opinions of counsel, affidavits, undertakings or agreements or a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service as it may deem necessary or advisable in order to determine or ensure the status of the Company as a REIT, and any such exemption or modification may be subject to such conditions or restrictions as the Board may impose.

The foregoing restrictions on transfer and ownership will not apply if the Board determines that it is no longer in the best interests of the Company to attempt to qualify, or to continue to qualify, as a REIT or that compliance with any of the foregoing restrictions is no longer required for REIT qualification.

All persons who own, directly or by virtue of the applicable attribution rules of the Code, more than 1.0% (or such lower percentage as required by the Code or the regulations promulgated thereunder) of outstanding shares of any class or series must give a written notice to the Company containing the information specified in the Declaration of Trust by January 31 of each year. In addition, each shareholder will be required to disclose to the Company upon demand any information that the Company may request, in good faith, to determine the status of the Company as a REIT or to comply with Treasury regulations promulgated under the REIT provisions of the Code.

The ownership restrictions described above may have the effect of precluding acquisition of control of the Company unless the Board determines that maintenance of REIT status is no longer in the best interests of the Company or that compliance with any of the foregoing restrictions is no longer required for REIT qualification.

**Certain Provisions of Maryland Law and of the Declaration of Trust and Bylaws** 

***The Board of Trustees***

The Declaration of Trust and Bylaws provide that the number of trustees of the Company may be established, increased or decreased only by a majority of the entire Board but may not be less than the number required by the Maryland REIT Law, which is currently one, nor, unless the Bylaws are amended, more than 15; provided further, that the tenure of office of a trustee will not be affected by any decrease in the number of trustees. The Declaration of Trust and Bylaws also provide that, except as may be provided by the Board in setting the terms of any class or series of shares, any vacancy may be filled only by a majority of the remaining trustees in office, even if the remaining trustees do not constitute a quorum, and any trustee elected to fill a vacancy will hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders and until a successor is duly elected and qualifies.

Each of the Company's trustees is elected by the Company's shareholders to serve until the next annual meeting of shareholders and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualifies. There is no

------

cumulative voting in the election of trustees. Consequently, at each annual meeting of shareholders, the holders of a majority of Common Shares will be able to elect all of the trustees standing for election. Under the Bylaws, a majority of all the votes cast with respect to a trustee's election at a meeting of shareholders duly called and at which a quorum is present will be required to elect a trustee, unless the election is contested, in which case a plurality of the votes cast will be sufficient.

***Removal of Trustees***

***Business Combinations***

Under the Maryland Business Combination Act (the "MBCA"), a "business combination" between a Maryland real estate investment trust and an interested shareholder or an affiliate of an interested shareholder is prohibited for five years after the most recent date on which the interested shareholder becomes an interested shareholder. A business combination includes a merger, consolidation, share exchange, or, in circumstances specified in the MBCA, an asset transfer or issuance or reclassification of equity securities. An interested shareholder is defined as:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a person who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of the voting power of the real estate investment trust's outstanding voting shares after the date on which the trust had 100 or more beneficial owners of its shares; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an affiliate or associate of the real estate investment trust who, at any time within the two-year period prior to the date in question, and after the date on which the trust had 100 or more beneficial owners of its shares, was the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 10% or more of the voting power of the then-outstanding voting shares of the real estate investment trust.

A person is not an interested shareholder under the MBCA if the board of trustees approved in advance the transaction which otherwise would have resulted in the person becoming an interested shareholder. In approving a transaction, the board of trustees may provide that its approval is subject to compliance, at or after the time of approval, with any terms and conditions determined by the board of trustees.

After the five-year prohibition, any business combination between the Maryland real estate investment trust and an interested shareholder generally must be recommended by the board of trustees of the real estate investment trust and approved by the affirmative vote of at least:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 80% of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of outstanding voting shares of the real estate investment trust; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of voting shares of the real estate investment trust other than shares held by the interested shareholder who will or whose affiliate will be a party to the business combination or by an affiliate or associate of the interested shareholder, voting together as a single group.

These super-majority vote requirements do not apply if the consideration to be received by the real estate investment trust's holders of any class or series of outstanding shares in the business combination receive

------

a minimum price, as defined under the MBCA, for their shares in the form of cash or other consideration in the same form as previously paid by the interested shareholder for its shares of the same class or series.

The MBCA permits various exemptions from its provisions, including business combinations that are exempted by the board of trustees before the time that the interested shareholder becomes an interested shareholder. The Board has adopted a resolution exempting any business combinations between the Company and any other person or entity from the MBCA. As a result, any other person or entity may be able to enter into business combinations with the Company that may not be in the best interest of shareholders without compliance with the supermajority vote requirements and other provisions of the statute.

The Bylaws provide that this resolution may only be revoked, altered or amended, and the Board may only adopt any resolution inconsistent with such resolution, with the affirmative vote of a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast on the matter. There can be no assurance that the Board will not recommend to shareholders that they alter or repeal this resolution in the future. However, an alteration or repeal of the resolution described above will not have any effect on any business combinations that have been consummated or upon any agreements existing at the time of such modification or repeal.

***Control Share Acquisitions***

The Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act (the "MCSAA") provides that "control shares" of a Maryland real estate investment trust acquired in a "control share acquisition" have no voting rights with respect to any control shares except to the extent approved at a special meeting of shareholders by a vote of two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter, excluding shares in respect of which any of the following persons is entitled to exercise or direct the exercise of the voting power of such shares in the election of trustees: (i) a person who makes or proposes to make a control share acquisition; (ii) an officer of the trust; or (iii) an employee of the trust who is also a trustee of the trust.

"Control shares" are voting shares which, if aggregated with all other shares owned by the acquiring person or in respect of which the acquiring person is able to exercise or direct the exercise of voting power (except solely by virtue of a revocable proxy), would entitle the acquiring person to exercise voting power in electing trustees within one of the following ranges of voting power:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• one-tenth or more but less than one-third,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• one-third or more but less than a majority, or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a majority or more of all voting power.

Control shares do not include shares that the acquiring person is then entitled to vote as a result of having previously obtained shareholder approval or shares acquired directly from the real estate investment trust. A "control share acquisition" means the acquisition, directly or indirectly, of ownership of, or the power to direct the exercise of voting power with respect to, issued and outstanding control shares, subject to certain exceptions.

A person who has made or proposes to make a control share acquisition may compel the board of trustees of the real estate investment trust to call a special meeting of shareholders to be held within 50 days of demand to consider the voting rights of the shares. The right to compel the calling of a special meeting is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including an undertaking to pay the expenses of the meeting. If no request for a meeting is made, the real estate investment trust may itself present the question at any shareholders meeting.

------

If voting rights are not approved at the meeting or if the acquiring person does not deliver an acquiring person statement as required by the MCSAA, then the real estate investment trust may redeem for fair value any or all of the control shares, except those for which voting rights have previously been approved. The right of the real estate investment trust to redeem control shares is subject to certain conditions and limitations. Fair value is determined, without regard to the absence of voting rights for the control shares, as of the date of any meeting of shareholders at which the voting rights of the shares are considered and not approved or, if no such meeting is held, as of the date of the last control share acquisition by the acquirer. If voting rights for control shares are approved at a shareholders meeting and the acquiring person becomes entitled to vote a majority of the shares entitled to vote, all other shareholders may exercise appraisal rights, unless these specific appraisal rights are eliminated under the charter or bylaws. The fair value of the shares as determined for purposes of these appraisal rights may not be less than the highest price per share paid by the acquiring person in the control share acquisition.

The MCSAA does not apply (a) to shares acquired in a merger, consolidation or share exchange if the real estate investment trust is a party to the transaction, or (b) to acquisitions approved or exempted by the declaration of trust or bylaws of the real estate investment trust.

The Bylaws contain a provision exempting from the MCSAA any and all acquisitions by any person of shares of the Company. There can be no assurance that this provision will not be amended or eliminated at any time in the future.

***Appraisal Rights***

Under the Maryland REIT Law, a shareholder of a Maryland REIT who objects to a merger or conversion is entitled to the same rights as an objecting stockholder of a Maryland corporation under the MGCL. The MGCL provides that stockholders may exercise appraisal rights unless appraisal rights are eliminated under a company's charter. The Declaration of Trust generally eliminates all appraisal rights of shareholders provided under the Maryland REIT Law and the MGCL, unless the Board determines that such rights apply.

***Approval of Extraordinary Trust Action; Amendment of Declaration of Trust and Bylaws***

Under the Maryland REIT Law, a Maryland real estate investment trust generally is not entitled to amend its declaration of trust or merge with or convert into another entity, unless the action is declared advisable and submitted to shareholders by resolution of its board of trustees, and approved by the affirmative vote of shareholders holding at least two-thirds of the shares entitled to vote on the matter. However, a Maryland real estate investment trust may provide in its declaration of trust for approval of these matters by a lesser percentage, but not less than a majority of all of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter. Except for certain amendments described in the Declaration of Trust that require only approval by the Board, and for amendments to the provision in the Declaration of Trust relating to the removal of trustees and the vote required to amend such provision, which require a vote of two-thirds of all of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter, the Declaration of Trust provides for approval of any of these matters and for the approval of a sale of all or substantially all of our assets or our termination by the affirmative vote of a majority of all of the votes entitled to be cast on such matters.

The Bylaws provide that the Board has the power to adopt new bylaws and to alter or repeal any provision of the Bylaws. In addition, to the extent permitted by law, shareholders may alter or repeal any provision of the Bylaws and adopt new bylaw provisions with approval by the affirmative vote of a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast on the matter, except that shareholders do not have the power to alter or repeal Article XII of the Bylaws, which provides for indemnification of trustees and officers, or

------

Article XV of the Bylaws, which relates to the amendment of the Bylaws, or to adopt any bylaws inconsistent with the foregoing Bylaws, in either case, without the approval of the Board.

***Exclusive Forum***

The Bylaws provide that, unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on the behalf of the Company, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of any duty owed by any trustees or officers or other employees to the Company or to the shareholders of the Company, (iii) any action asserting a claim against the Company or any of its trustees or officers or other employees arising pursuant to any provision of the Maryland REIT Law or the Declaration of Trust or Bylaws or (iv) any action asserting a claim against the Company or any of its trustees or officers or other employees that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine will be the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland, or, if that Court does not have jurisdiction, the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, Baltimore Division.

***Advance Notice of Trustee Nominations and New Business***

The Bylaws provide that with respect to an annual meeting of shareholders, nominations of persons for election to the Board and the proposal of business to be considered by shareholders may be made only (i) pursuant to notice of the meeting, (ii) by or at the direction of the Board or (iii) by a shareholder who is a shareholder of record both at the time of giving the advance notice required by the Bylaws and at the time of the meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has complied with the advance notice procedures of the Bylaws. With respect to special meetings of shareholders, only the business specified in the notice of the meeting may be brought before the meeting. Nominations of persons for election to the Board at a special meeting may be made only (i) by or at the direction of the Board, or (ii) provided that the special meeting has been called in accordance with the Bylaws for the purpose of electing trustees, by a shareholder who is a shareholder of record both at the time of giving the advance notice required by the Bylaws and at the time of the meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has complied with the advance notice provisions of the Bylaws.

***Proxy Access***

The Bylaws include provisions permitting, subject to certain eligibility, procedural and disclosure requirements, qualifying shareholders, or a qualifying group of no more than 20 shareholders, who have owned 3% or more of the Company's issued and outstanding shares of beneficial interest continuously for at least the prior three years to require the Company to include in its proxy materials for an annual meeting of shareholders a number of trustee nominees not to exceed the greater of two or 20% of the number of trustees in office as of the last day on which a notice requesting the inclusion of trustee nominees in the Company's proxy materials may be timely delivered. To be timely, any proxy access notice must be delivered not earlier than 150 days nor later than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the date of the proxy statement for the preceding year's annual meeting of shareholders (with adjustments if the date for the upcoming annual meeting of shareholders is advanced or delayed by more than 30 days from the anniversary date of the prior year's annual meeting).

These advance notice and proxy access procedures may impede shareholders' ability to bring matters before a meeting of shareholders or make nominations for trustees at a meeting of shareholders.

***Subtitle 8***

Subtitle 8 of Title 3 of the MGCL permits a Maryland real estate investment trust with a class of equity securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and at least three

------

independent trustees to elect to be subject, by provision in its declaration of trust or bylaws or a resolution of its board of trustees and notwithstanding any contrary provision in the declaration of trust or bylaws, to any or all of the following five provisions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a classified board;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a two-thirds vote requirement for removing a trustee;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a requirement that the number of trustees be fixed only by vote of the trustees;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a requirement that a vacancy on the board be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining trustees and for the remainder of the full term of the class of trustees in which the vacancy occurred and until a successor is elected and qualifies; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a majority requirement for the calling of a shareholder-requested special meeting of shareholders.

The Declaration of Trust provides that, except as may be provided by the Board in setting the terms of any class or series of shares, the Company elects to be subject to the provisions of Subtitle 8 relating to the filling of vacancies on the Board. Through provisions in the Declaration of Trust and Bylaws, (i) the affirmative vote of shareholders entitled to cast not less than two-thirds of all of the votes entitled to be cast generally in the election of trustees is required to remove any trustee from the Board, which removal will be allowed only for cause, (ii) the exclusive power to fix the number of trusteeships, subject to limitations set forth in the Bylaws, is vested in the Board, and (iii) shareholders are not entitled to call special meetings of shareholders.

***Anti-takeover Effect of Certain Provisions of Maryland Law and of the Declaration of Trust and Bylaws***

The business combination provisions (if the Board opts to make them applicable to us), other elections under Subtitle 8, the control share acquisition provisions of Maryland law (if the applicable provision in the Bylaws is rescinded), the provisions of the Declaration of Trust on removal of trustees, the restrictions on the acquisition of our shares of beneficial interest, the power to issue additional common shares or preferred shares and the advance notice provisions of the Bylaws could delay, defer or prevent a transaction or a change in control of the Company that might involve a premium price for holders of Common Shares or otherwise be in their best interests.

***Shareholder Meetings***

The Bylaws provide that annual meetings of shareholders may only be held each year at a date, time and place set by the Board. The Board may determine, in its sole discretion, that any meeting of shareholders (including an annual meeting) will not be held at any place but instead will be held solely by means of remote communication. Special meetings of shareholders may only be called by the chairman of the Board, the chief executive officer, the president or a majority of the Board. Only matters set forth in the notice of a special meeting of shareholders may be considered and acted upon at such a meeting.

***Shareholder Action by Written Consent***

Under the Declaration of Trust and Bylaws, any action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of shareholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote if (i) a unanimous consent setting forth the action is given in writing or by electronic transmission by all shareholders entitled to vote on the matter and filed with the minutes of proceedings of shareholders or (ii) the action is advised and submitted to the shareholders for approval by the Board, and a consent in writing or by electronic transmission is given by shareholders entitled to cast not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take the action at a meeting of shareholders.

------

***Limitation of Liability and Indemnification of Trustees and Officers***

Maryland law permits a Maryland real estate investment trust to include in its declaration of trust a provision limiting or eliminating the liability of its current and former trustees and officers to the real estate investment trust and its shareholders for money damages except for liability resulting from (i) actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services, for the amount of the benefit or profit in money, property or services actually received or (ii) active and deliberate dishonesty that is established by a final judgment and which is material to the cause of action. The Declaration of Trust includes such a provision eliminating such liability to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law.

The Declaration of Trust and Bylaws obligate the Company, to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law in effect from time to time, to indemnify and to pay or reimburse reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition of a proceeding, without requiring a preliminary determination of the trustee's or officer's ultimate entitlement to indemnification, to (i) any present or former trustee or officer who is made or threatened to be made a party to the proceeding by reason of his or her service in that capacity, or (ii) any individual who, while serving as trustee or officer of the Company and at the request of the Company, serves or has served as a director, trustee, officer, partner, member or manager of another corporation, real estate investment trust, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise and who is made or threatened to be made a party to the proceeding by reason of his or her service in that capacity. The Declaration of Trust and Bylaws also permit it, with the approval of the Board, to indemnify and advance expenses to any person who served a predecessor of the Company in any of the capacities described above and to any employee or agent of the Company or a predecessor of the Company.

Maryland law requires a Maryland real estate investment trust (unless its declaration of trust provides otherwise, which the Declaration of Trust does not) to indemnify a trustee or officer who has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which he or she is made a party by reason of his or her service in that capacity. Maryland law permits a real estate investment trust to indemnify its present and former trustees and officers, among others, against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses actually incurred by them in connection with any proceeding to which they may be made or threatened to be made a party by reason of their service in those or other capacities unless it is established that (a) the act or omission of the trustee or officer was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and (i) was committed in bad faith or (ii) was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty, (b) the trustee or officer actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services or (c) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the trustee or officer had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful. However, under Maryland law, a Maryland real estate investment trust may not indemnify for an adverse judgment in a suit by or in the right of the real estate investment trust or for a judgment of liability on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received, unless in either case a court orders indemnification and then only for expenses. In addition, Maryland law permits a real estate investment trust to advance reasonable expenses to a trustee or officer upon the real estate investment trust's receipt of (a) a written affirmation by the trustee or officer of his or her good faith belief that he or she has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the real estate investment trust and (b) a written undertaking by him or her or on his or her behalf to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by the real estate investment trust if it shall ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct was not met.

The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its trustees, and has entered or expect to enter into indemnification agreements with each of its executive officers, in each case, that will provide for indemnification to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law.

***Business Opportunities***

------

The Declaration of Trust provides that the trustees of the Company who are also trustees, officers, employees or agents of Vornado Realty Trust ("Vornado"), an entity from which the Company separated in 2015, or any of Vornado's affiliates (each such trustee, a "Covered Person"), have no duty to communicate or present any business opportunity to the Company, and the Company renounces on its behalf and on behalf of its subsidiaries, any potential interest or expectation in, or right to be offered or to participate in, such business opportunity and waives to the maximum extent permitted from time to time by Maryland law any claim against a Covered Person arising from the fact that he or she does not present, communicate or offer any such business opportunity to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, as the case may be, or pursues such business opportunity or facilitates the pursuit of such business opportunity by others; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply in a case in which a Covered Person is presented with a business opportunity in writing expressly in his or her capacity as a trustee of the Company. Accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted from time to time by Maryland law and except to the extent such business opportunity is presented to a Covered Person in writing expressly in his or her capacity as a trustee of the Company, (i) no Covered Person is required to present, communicate or offer any business opportunity to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, as the case may be, and (ii) any Covered Person, on his or her own behalf or on behalf of Vornado, has the right to hold and exploit any business opportunity, or to direct, recommend, offer, sell, assign or otherwise transfer such business opportunity to any person or entity other than the Company.

***Termination of Operations or REIT Status***

Subject to the provisions of any class or series of shares at the time outstanding, after approval by a majority of the entire Board, the Company may be terminated at any meeting of shareholders, by the affirmative vote of a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast on the matter.

Dear Chris:

As we have discussed, your employment with Urban Edge Properties (hereafter "<u>Company</u>") will end effective November 18, 2022 (the "<u>Date of Termination</u>"). This letter summarizes some information related to the ending of your employment with the Company and its subsidiaries.

As you know, you and the Company entered into an Employment Agreement dated as of July 30, 2018 (the "<u>Employment Agreement</u>"). Pursuant to Section 6(a) of the Employment Agreement, any termination of your employment is to be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other party that indicates the specific termination provision in the Employment Agreement relied upon. This letter serves as that written notice. Accordingly, you are hereby notified that your employment is ending on the Date of Termination pursuant to Section 5(e) of the Employment Agreement.

In connection with the ending of your employment, you are entitled to the accrued obligations set forth in Section 7(a) of the Employment Agreement. You will receive your final paycheck for accrued wages through the Date of Termination no later than the first regular payroll date following the Date of Termination. Your final paycheck will include payment for all salary/wages that you earned through and including the Date of Termination and for any unused, accrued vacation time. You will also be paid any earned but unpaid annual bonus for the year preceding the year of termination if the relevant measurement period for such bonus concluded prior to the Date of Termination and the Company shall reimburse you for any amounts due to you as of the Date of Termination pursuant to Section 4(g) of the Employment Agreement

You are also entitled to certain severance pay and benefits pursuant to Section 5(e) and Section 7(b) of the Employment Agreement provided you sign, do not revoke and comply with the Separation and General Release Agreement (the "<u>Agreement</u>") enclosed with this letter within the timeframe set forth therein. The Agreement is the "Release" referenced in Section 7(b) of the Employment Agreement. You have the right to consult with your own counsel at your own expense before signing the Agreement.

You may wish to contact your local unemployment office to see if you are eligible for unemployment benefits. Please note that eligibility for unemployment insurance benefits is decided by the State Department of Labor and not the Company.

If you have any questions about your separation from the Company and its subsidiaries or the contents of this letter, please feel free to contact me directly. We wish you well in your future endeavors.

Sincerely,

**<u>SEPARATION AND GENERAL RELEASE AGREEMENT</u>**

This Separation and General Release Agreement ("<u>Agreement</u>") confirms the terms of the separation of Christopher J.

The ending of your employment with the Company and its subsidiaries is a termination without Cause pursuant to Section 5(e) of the Employment Agreement between you and the Company dated as of July 30, 2018 (the "<u>Employment Agreement</u>"). Accordingly, you will receive the Severance Benefits described below in <u>Section 4</u> of this Agreement and the equity treatment described in <u>Section 5</u> of this Agreement if you (a) sign and return this Agreement to the Company not before the Date of Termination (as defined below) and no later than the expiration of the twenty-one (21) day period immediately following the date that you received this Agreement, (b) do not revoke this Agreement during the seven (7) day revocation period explained in <u>Section 7</u> below, and (c) comply with the other terms of this Agreement.

By signing, delivering, and not revoking this Agreement, you will be entering into a binding agreement with the Company and agreeing to the terms and conditions in the numbered sections below, including the general release of claims in <u>Section 6</u>. **Therefore, you are advised to consult with an attorney of your choice before signing this Agreement.**

If you choose not to sign and return this Agreement to the Company within the time period described in this Agreement, or if you revoke your acceptance of this Agreement within seven (7) days after signing this Agreement, you will not receive the Severance Benefits described in <u>Section 4</u> or the equity treatment described in <u>Section 5</u>.

1.<u>Last Day of Employment; Resignations from any Boards and Position</u>. You acknowledge that you were notified on October 18, 2022 that the last day of your employment with the Company and its subsidiaries will be November 18, 2022 ("<u>Date of Termination</u>").

2.<u>Accrued Obligations</u>. No later than the first regular payroll date following the Date of Termination, the Company will pay you (i) any earned but unpaid base salary through the Date of Termination, (ii) any earned but unpaid annual bonus for the year preceding the year of termination if the relevant measurement period for such bonus concluded prior to the Date of Termination, and (iii) 26.84[1](#i6867d35645fc48bdb400d57c3664e82d_7) days of accrued but unused vacation pay through the Date of Termination (assuming no such vacation is used through the Date of Termination).

set forth in the preceding sentences even if you choose not to enter into this Agreement. Except as otherwise set forth in <u>Section 4</u> or <u>Section 5</u> below, you will cease vesting in any equity awards on the Date of Termination, and any vested options shall remain exercisable for sixty (60) days following the Date of Termination (or if earlier, through the expiration of the scheduled term of such award).

3.<u>Employee Benefits; Unemployment</u>. Except as provided in <u>Section 4(c)</u> below, your participation in the group health insurance plan(s) of the Company and its subsidiaries will end in accordance with the terms of such plan(s). Coverage under any other group benefit plans or programs in which you participated, if any, will also end on the Date of Termination. Regardless of whether you enter into this Agreement, you may have the right to continue the medical, vision and/or dental insurance coverage that you had in effect as of the Date of Termination (generally for up to eighteen (18) months) under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act ("<u>COBRA</u>"). You will receive COBRA notices and information about your 401(k) account (if any), in separate letters. If you participated in the Flexible Spending Account Plan, you also may have the right to continue FSA participation under COBRA. If you had group life insurance, you also will receive information about the option to convert this coverage to an individual policy.

4.<u>Severance Benefits</u>. If you choose to sign and return this Agreement within the required time period, you do not revoke this Agreement and you abide by the other terms of this Agreement, the Company agrees to provide you with the following "<u>Severance Benefits</u>":

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)a lump sum severance payment in the amount of 1.5 times the sum of (i) your current base salary of $600,000 per year and (ii) your current target annual bonus of $600,000 (the "<u>Severance Amount</u>"), which will be paid to you within thirty (30) days following the Effective Date of this Agreement (as defined below);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)a pro rata bonus for the year of termination equal to 88.22% of the annual bonus you are eligible to earn under the Company's Short Term Incentive Plan (the "<u>STI Plan</u>"), less applicable withholdings (the "<u>Pro Rata Bonus</u>"), to be paid at the time bonuses are paid to similarly situated employees of the Company and its subsidiaries under the STI Plan and in any event no later than March 15, 2023;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)medical, dental and vision insurance coverage substantially identical to that provided to other senior executives of the Company (collectively "<u>Medical Benefits</u>"), which shall be provided to the same extent as the Company and its subsidiaries provide the employer portion of medical, dental and vision insurance premiums to the Company's current senior executives upon your election and continued qualification for such Medical Benefits pursuant to COBRA for one year following the Date of Termination; *provided*, that, if this Agreement raises any compliance issues or impositions of penalties under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act or other applicable law, then the parties agree to modify this Agreement so that it complies with the terms of such laws without impairing the economic benefit to you; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)vesting on the Effective Date (as defined below) of all outstanding unvested equity and equity-based awards granted to you by the Company or its subsidiaries that are subject to vesting based solely on continued employment with the Company and/or its subsidiaries and are listed as "<u>Sign-On LTIP Unit Award</u>" or "<u>Accelerated Time-Based Equity Awards</u>" on <u>Schedule</u>

------

<u>A</u> attached hereto, with all vested options remaining exercisable until the sixtieth (60th) day following the Effective Date or, if earlier, the expiration of the term of the option ("<u>Vesting Benefits</u>"). Subject to your execution of this Agreement and the expiration of the related revocation period, any termination or forfeiture of the Sign-On LTIP Unit Award and the Accelerated Time- Based Equity Awards that otherwise would have occurred on or within sixty (60) days after the Date of Termination will be delayed until the sixtieth (60th) day after the Date of Termination (but, in the case of any option, not later than the expiration of the term of the option) and will occur only to the extent such Sign-On LTIP Unit Award and Accelerated Time-Based Equity Awards do not vest pursuant to this <u>Section 4(d)</u>. For avoidance of doubt, the Vesting Benefit shall not apply to equity and equity-based awards granted by the Company or its subsidiaries other than the Sign-On LTIP Unit Award and the Accelerated Time-Based Equity Awards, including any equity and equity-based awards that are subject to vesting based in whole or in part on achievement of performance-based hurdles other than continued employment with the Company and/or its subsidiaries, such as hurdles based on the Company's operating performance or absolute or relative total return to shareholders.

You acknowledge that the Company would not agree to provide you with these Severance Benefits without your general release of claims and other promises in this Agreement. You also agree that the Severance Benefits constitute good and valuable consideration for your general release of claims and other promises in this Agreement.

For the avoidance of doubt, the exercise of your preserved rights under <u>Section 12</u> will, in no event, be considered a breach of your obligations under this Agreement.

16.<u>Section 409A</u>. The parties intend that this Agreement will be administered in accordance with Section 409A of the Code. To the extent that any provision of this Agreement is ambiguous as to its compliance with Section 409A of the Code, the provision shall be read in such a manner so that all payments hereunder comply with Section 409A of the Code. Each payment pursuant to this Agreement is intended to constitute a separate payment for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A 2(b)(2). Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if at the time of your separation from service within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, the Company determines that you are a "specified employee" within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, then to the extent any payment or benefit that you become entitled to under this Agreement on account of your separation from service would be considered

------

deferred compensation subject to the 20% additional tax imposed pursuant to Section 409A(a) of the Code as a result of the application of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, such payment shall not be payable and such benefit shall not be provided until the date that is the earlier of (A) six months and one day after your separation from service, or (B) your death. If any such delayed cash payment is otherwise payable on an installment basis, the first payment shall include a catch-up payment covering amounts that would otherwise have been paid during the six-month period but for the application of this provision, and the balance of the installments shall be payable in accordance with their original schedule.

17.<u>Section 280G</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that the amount of any compensation, payment or distribution by the Company to or for your benefit, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, calculated in a manner consistent with Section 280G of the Code, and the applicable regulations thereunder (the "<u>Aggregate Payments</u>"), would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, then the Aggregate Payments shall be reduced (but not below zero) so that the sum of all of the Aggregate Payments shall be $1.00 less than the amount at which you become subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code; provided that such reduction shall only occur if it would result in you receiving a higher After Tax Amount (as defined below) than you would receive if the Aggregate Payments were not subject to such reduction. In such event, the Aggregate Payments shall be reduced in the following order, in each case, in reverse chronological order beginning with the Aggregate Payments that are to be paid the furthest in time from consummation of the transaction that is subject to Section 280G of the Code: (1) cash payments not subject to Section 409A of the Code; (2) cash payments subject to Section 409A of the Code; (3) equity-based payments and acceleration; and (4) non-cash forms of benefits; provided that in the case of all the foregoing Aggregate Payments all amounts or payments that are not subject to calculation under Treas. Reg. §1.280G-1, Q&A-24(b) or (c) shall be reduced before any amounts that are subject to calculation under Treas. Reg. §1.280G-1, Q&A-24(b) or (c).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)For purposes of this Section, the "After Tax Amount" means the amount of the Aggregate Payments less all federal, state, and local income, excise and employment taxes imposed on you as a result of your receipt of the Aggregate Payments. For purposes of determining the After Tax Amount, you shall be deemed to pay federal income taxes at the highest marginal rate of federal income taxation applicable to individuals for the calendar year in which the determination is to be made, and state and local income taxes at the highest marginal rates of individual taxation in each applicable state and locality, net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes which could be obtained from deduction of such state and local taxes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)The determination as to whether a reduction in the Aggregate Payments shall be made pursuant to this Section shall be made by a nationally recognized accounting firm selected by the Company (the "<u>Accounting Firm</u>"), which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and you within fifteen (15) business days of the Date of Termination, if applicable, or at such earlier time as is reasonably requested by the Company or you. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and you.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)The provisions of this Agreement are severable. If any provision in this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect and the invalid, illegal and unenforceable provision shall be reformed and construed so that it will be valid, legal and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)The Company and you shall each bear their own costs, fees (including, without limitation, attorney's fees) and expenses in connection with the negotiation, preparation and execution of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)The failure of the Company or you to seek enforcement of any provision of this Agreement in any instance or for any period of time shall not be construed as a waiver of such provision or of the Company's or your right to seek enforcement of such provision in the future.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)Given the full and fair opportunity provided to each party to consult with their respective counsel regarding terms of this Agreement, ambiguities shall not be construed against either party by virtue of such party having drafted the subject provision.
