**<u>EXPLANATORY NOTE</u>**

This report combines the annual reports on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 of Kite Realty Group Trust, Kite Realty Group, L.P. and its subsidiaries. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to "Kite Realty Group Trust" or the "Parent Company" mean Kite Realty Group Trust, and references to the "Operating Partnership" mean Kite Realty Group, L.P. and its consolidated subsidiaries. The terms "Company," "we," "us," and "our" refer to the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, collectively, and those entities owned or controlled by the Parent Company and/or the Operating Partnership.

The Operating Partnership is engaged in the ownership, operation, acquisition, development and redevelopment of high-quality, open-air, grocery-anchored shopping centers and vibrant mixed-use assets that are primarily located in high-growth Sun Belt markets and select strategic gateway markets in the United States, and the Parent Company conducts substantially all of its activities through the Operating Partnership and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The Parent Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and, as of December 31, 2025, owned approximately 97.7% of the common partnership interests in the Operating Partnership ("General Partner Units"). The remaining 2.3% of the common partnership interests ("Limited Partner Units" and, together with the General Partner Units, the "Common Units") are owned by the limited partners.

We believe combining the annual reports on Form 10-K of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership into this single report benefits investors by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• enhancing investors' understanding of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership 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;• eliminating duplicative disclosure and providing a more streamlined and readable presentation of information as a substantial portion of the Company's disclosure applies to both the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership; and

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

We believe it is important to understand the few differences between the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership in the context of how we operate as an interrelated consolidated company. The Parent Company has no material assets or liabilities other than its investment in the Operating Partnership. The Parent Company issues public equity from time to time but does not have any indebtedness as all debt is incurred by the Operating Partnership. In addition, the Parent Company currently does not nor does it intend to guarantee any debt of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership has numerous wholly owned subsidiaries, and it also owns interests in certain joint ventures. These subsidiaries and joint ventures own and operate retail shopping centers and other real estate assets. The Operating Partnership is structured as a partnership with no publicly traded equity. Except for net proceeds from equity issuances by the Parent Company, which are contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for General Partner Units, the Operating Partnership generates the capital required by the business through its operations, its incurrence of indebtedness, and the issuance of Limited Partner Units to third parties.

Shareholders' equity and partners' capital are the main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of the Parent Company and those of the Operating Partnership. In order to highlight this and other differences between the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, there are separate sections in this report, as applicable, that separately discuss the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, including separate financial statements and separate Exhibit 31 and 32 certifications. In the sections that combine disclosure of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, this report refers to actions or holdings as being actions or holdings of the collective Company.

**Forward-Looking Statements**

This Annual Report on Form 10-K, together with other statements and information publicly disseminated by us, contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such statements are based on assumptions and expectations that may not be realized and are inherently subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which cannot be predicted with accuracy and some of which might not even be anticipated. Future events and actual results, performance, transactions or achievements, financial or otherwise, may differ materially from the results, performance, transactions or achievements, financial or otherwise, expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

Risks, uncertainties and other factors that might cause such differences, some of which could be material, include but are not limited to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• economic, business, banking, real estate and other market conditions, particularly in connection with low or negative growth in the U.S. economy as well as economic uncertainty (including from an economic slowdown or recession, federal government shutdown, disruptions related to tariffs and other trade or sanction issues, rising interest rates, inflation, unemployment, or limited growth in consumer income or spending);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• financing risks, including the availability of, and costs associated with, sources of liquidity;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to refinance, or extend the maturity dates of, our indebtedness;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the level and volatility of interest rates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the financial stability of our tenants;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the competitive environment in which we operate, including potential oversupplies of, or a reduction in demand for, rental space;

**PART I**

**ITEM 1. BUSINESS**

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

**Overview**

Kite Realty Group Trust is a publicly held REIT that, through its majority-owned subsidiary, Kite Realty Group, L.P., owns interests in various operating subsidiaries and joint ventures engaged in the ownership, operation, acquisition, development, and redevelopment of high-quality, open-air, grocery-anchored shopping centers and vibrant mixed-use assets that are primarily located in high-growth Sun Belt markets and select strategic gateway markets in the United States. Following our merger with Retail Properties of America, Inc. ("RPAI") in 2021, we became a top-five open-air shopping center REIT based upon market capitalization. We derive our revenue primarily from the collection of contractual rents and reimbursement payments from tenants under existing lease agreements at each of our properties. Therefore, our operating results depend materially on, among other things, the ability of our tenants to make required lease payments, the health and resilience of the U.S. retail sector, particularly in light of increased tariffs in 2025, interest rate volatility, job growth, the real estate market, and overall economic conditions.

As of December 31, 2025, we owned interests in a portfolio of 167 operating retail/mixed-use properties, including 159 wholly owned properties and eight properties owned through four unconsolidated joint ventures, totaling approximately 26.9 million square feet, excluding (i) two operating retail properties classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2025, (ii) Eastgate Crossing, a 152,682 square foot multi-tenant retail property in the Durham-Chapel Hill MSA that was reclassified from our operating portfolio in September 2025 due to significant disruption caused by severe flooding as a result of Tropical Storm Chantal, and (iii) two standalone office properties with 0.4 million square feet. Of the 167 operating retail/mixed-use properties, 10 contain an office component. We also own interests in one development project that is under construction as of December 31, 2025 and an additional two properties with future redevelopment opportunities. Our operating retail portfolio was 95.1% leased to a diversified retail tenant base, with no single retail tenant accounting for more than 2.6% of our total annualized base rent ("ABR"). In the aggregate, our largest 25 tenants accounted for 25.5% of our ABR. See Item 2, "Properties," for a list of our top 25 tenants by ABR.

**Significant 2025 Activities**

*Operating Activities*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Company realized net income attributable to common shareholders of $298.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2025;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Company generated NAREIT Funds From Operations ("FFO") of $468.6 million and Core Funds From Operations ("Core FFO") of $460.4 million;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Same Property Net Operating Income ("Same Property NOI") grew by 2.9% in 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to contractual rent growth and higher base rent driven by positive new and renewal leasing spreads, partially offset by higher bad debt expense;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In 2025, we executed new and renewal leases on 683 individual spaces representing approximately 4.6 million square feet of retail space, achieving a blended cash leasing spread of 13.8% on 501 comparable leases. The blended cash leasing spread for comparable new and non-option renewal leases was 20.3%;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our operating retail portfolio was 95.1% leased as of December 31, 2025, with our anchor leased percentage at 96.7% and our small shop leased percentage at 92.3%;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our operating retail portfolio ABR per square foot was $22.63 as of December 31, 2025, an increase of $1.48, or 7.0%, from the prior year; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• As of December 31, 2025, we derived 79% of our operating retail portfolio ABR from properties with a grocery component, which includes shopping centers with a big box wine and spirits store.

*Financing and Capital Activities*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We ended the year with $1.0 billion of borrowing capacity on our $1.1 billion unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Facility");

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In June 2025, we completed a public offering of $300.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.20% senior unsecured notes due 2032 (the "Notes Due 2032"), the proceeds of which were used to repay the $150.0 million unsecured term loan that was scheduled to mature on July 17, 2026, borrowings on the Revolving Facility, and the $80.0 million principal balance of the 4.47% senior unsecured notes that matured on September 10, 2025;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In July 2025, we amended the credit agreement related to the Revolving Facility and $300.0 million unsecured term loan that matures in July 2029 (the "$300M Term Loan") to eliminate an additional 0.10% Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") spread adjustment applicable to both instruments. In addition, the amendment reduced the ratings-based pricing credit spread on the $300M Term Loan. We also amended the term loan agreement related to the $250.0 million unsecured term loan that matures in October 2027 (the "$250M Term Loan") to eliminate an additional 0.10% SOFR spread adjustment;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We acquired Village Commons, a grocery-anchored, multi-tenant retail property in the Miami MSA, for a gross purchase price of $68.4 million in January 2025;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We entered into a joint venture with a leading global investment firm, and in April 2025, the joint venture acquired Legacy West, a mixed-use asset in the Dallas/Ft. Worth MSA, for a gross purchase price of $785.0 million, including the assumption of $304.0 million of debt with an interest rate of 3.80%. The Company owns 52% of the equity in the joint venture;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In June 2025, we entered into a second joint venture with the global investment firm, contributing three previously wholly owned properties valued at $233.0 million in the aggregate and receiving $112.1 million in gross proceeds for the 48% interest in the joint venture acquired by the joint venture partner;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We completed the major development construction activities at The Corner – IN and reclassified the property from active development into our operating portfolio in March 2025;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We received gross proceeds of $621.7 million from the sale of 13 properties, a portion of Hamilton Crossing Centre (Indianapolis MSA), and a parcel and the related building at Northpointe Plaza (Spokane MSA) in 2025;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We repurchased 10.9 million common shares at an average price per share of $22.82 for a total of $247.7 million; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We declared cash dividends totaling $1.245 per share during 2025.

We have $410.6 million of debt principal scheduled to mature through December 31, 2026, a net debt to EBITDA ratio of 4.9x, approximately $36.8 million in cash on hand, and approximately $441.6 million in restricted cash and escrow deposits as of December 31, 2025. We have investment-grade corporate credit ratings from three nationally recognized credit rating agencies; these ratings did not change in 2025.

**Business Objectives and Strategies**

Our primary business objectives are to (i) increase the cash flow and value of our properties, (ii) achieve sustainable long-term growth, and (iii) maximize shareholder value primarily through the ownership, operation, acquisition, development, and redevelopment of high-quality, open-air, grocery-anchored shopping centers and vibrant mixed-use assets that are primarily located in high-growth Sun Belt markets and select strategic gateway markets in the United States. We invest in properties with well-located real estate and strong demographics, and we use our leasing and management strategies to improve the long-term value and economic returns of our properties. We believe that certain of our properties represent attractive opportunities for profitable redevelopment, renovation, densification, and expansion.

We seek to implement our business objectives through the following strategies, each of which is further described in the sections that follow:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Operating Strategy*: Maximize the internal growth in revenue from our operating properties by leasing and re-leasing to a strong and diverse group of retail and mixed-use tenants at increasing rental rates, when possible**,** through

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i7ef8bc9526c04d628d2c9703883b14b1_10)</u>

embedded contractual rent escalations and redeveloping or renovating certain properties to make them more attractive to existing and prospective tenants and customers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Financing and Capital Preservation Strategy*: Maintain a strong balance sheet with the flexibility to fund our operating and investment activities. Funding sources include the public equity and debt markets, our Revolving Facility with $1.0 billion of borrowing capacity as of December 31, 2025, secured debt, internally generated funds, proceeds from selling land and properties that no longer fit our strategy, and strategic joint ventures; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*• Growth Strategy*: Prudently use available cash flow, targeted asset recycling, equity and debt capital to selectively acquire additional retail properties and redevelop or renovate existing properties where we believe investment returns would meet or exceed internal benchmarks.

*Operating Strategy.* Our primary operating strategy is to maximize our rental rates, returns on invested capital, and occupancy levels by attracting and retaining a strong and diverse tenant base. Most of our properties are located in regional and neighborhood trade areas with attractive demographics, which allows us to maximize returns on invested capital, occupancy, and rental rates. We seek to implement our operating strategy by, among other things:

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• maximizing the occupancy of our operating portfolio;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• minimizing tenant turnover;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• maintaining leasing and property management strategies that maximize rent growth and cost recovery;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• maintaining a diverse tenant mix that limits our exposure to the financial condition of any one tenant or category of retail tenants;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• maintaining and improving the physical appearance, condition, layout, and design of our properties, as well as other improvements on these properties, to enhance our ability to attract customers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• implementing offensive and defensive strategies against e-commerce competition;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• actively managing our properties to minimize overhead and operating costs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• maintaining strong tenant and retailer relationships to avoid rent interruptions and reduce marketing, leasing, and tenant improvement costs that result from re-leasing space to new tenants; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• taking advantage of underutilized land or existing square footage, reconfiguring properties for more profitable use, and adding ancillary income sources to existing properties.

We successfully executed our operating strategy in 2025 in a number of ways, as best evidenced by our strong growth in Same Property NOI of 2.9%. Additionally, our leasing platform continues to perform at a high level, as evidenced by the execution of 683 new and renewal leases representing approximately 4.6 million square feet during the year ended December 31, 2025. Our leased-to-occupied spread represents approximately $37.0 million of net operating income ("NOI"), the majority of which is expected to commence in 2026. We have placed significant emphasis on maintaining a strong and diverse tenant mix, which has resulted in no tenant accounting for more than 2.6% of our ABR. See Item 2, "Properties," for a list of our top tenants by gross leasable area ("GLA") and ABR.

*Financing and Capital Strategy.* We finance our acquisition, development, redevelopment, share repurchases, leasing, and re-leasing activities using the most advantageous sources of capital available to us at the time. These sources may include (i) cash flows generated by operations, (ii) net proceeds from the disposition of assets, (iii) the incurrence of additional indebtedness through secured or unsecured borrowings, (iv) real estate joint ventures, and (v) the sale of common or preferred shares through public offerings or private placements.

Our primary financing and capital strategy is to maintain a strong balance sheet and enhance our flexibility to fund operating and investment activities in the most cost-effective way. We consider a number of factors when evaluating the amount and type of additional indebtedness we may elect to incur. Among these factors are (i) the construction costs or

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i7ef8bc9526c04d628d2c9703883b14b1_10)</u>

purchase price of properties to be developed or acquired, (ii) the estimated market value of our properties and the Company as a whole upon consummation of the financing, and (iii) the ability to generate durable cash flows to cover expected debt service.

Maintaining a strong balance sheet continues to be one of our top priorities. We maintain an investment-grade credit rating, which enables us to opportunistically access the public unsecured bond market, lower our cost of capital, and enhance our flexibility in managing asset acquisitions and dispositions in our operating portfolio.

We intend to continue implementing our financing and capital strategies in a number of ways, which may include one or more of the following actions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• prudently managing our balance sheet, including maintaining sufficient availability under our Revolving Facility to ensure we have additional capacity to fund our development and redevelopment projects and pay down maturing debt if refinancing that debt is not desired or practical;

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• expanding our unencumbered asset pool;

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• managing our exposure to interest rate increases on our variable-rate debt through the selective use of fixed-rate hedging transactions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• issuing unsecured bonds in the public markets and securing property-specific long-term, non-recourse financing; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• entering into joint venture arrangements to access less expensive capital and mitigate risk.

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• continually evaluating our operating properties for redevelopment and renovation opportunities that we believe will make them more attractive for leasing to new tenants, optimizing anchor spaces while raising rental rates, and re-leasing spaces to existing tenants at higher rental rates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• completing our active development project at One Loudoun Expansion;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• evaluating our entitled land holdings to determine the optimal real estate use and capital allocation decisions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• disposing of select non-core, large-format assets that no longer meet our long-term investment criteria, reducing our exposure to at-risk tenants and elevating the overall quality of our portfolio;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• recycling the net proceeds from dispositions into properties that provide attractive returns and rent growth potential in targeted markets or using the proceeds to repay debt, thereby reducing our leverage, or repurchasing our common shares; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• selectively pursuing the acquisition of retail operating properties, portfolios, and companies in markets with strong demographics.

In evaluating opportunities for potential acquisition, development, redevelopment, and disposition, we consider a number of factors, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the expected returns and related risks associated with the investments relative to our weighted cost of capital to make such investments;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the current and projected cash flows, the market value of the property, and the potential for increasing both cash flows and market value if the property is successfully re-leased or redeveloped;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the price being offered for the property, the current and projected operating performance of the property, the tax consequences of the transaction, and other related factors;

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i7ef8bc9526c04d628d2c9703883b14b1_10)</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• opportunities for strengthening the tenant mix at our properties through the placement of anchor tenants such as grocers, value retailers, hardware stores, or sporting goods retailers, as well as further enhancing a diverse tenant mix that includes restaurants, specialty shops, and other essential retailers that provide staple goods to the community and offer a high level of convenience;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the geographic location and configuration of the property, including ease of access, availability of parking, visibility, and the demographics of the surrounding area; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the level of success of existing properties in the same or nearby markets.

During 2025, we acquired one operating retail property for a gross purchase price of $68.4 million, invested $253.9 million, net of mortgage debt assumed, in the acquisition of 52% of Legacy West through an unconsolidated joint venture, generated gross proceeds of $721.8 million from the disposition of 13 operating retail properties and the contribution of three previously wholly owned properties into an unconsolidated joint venture, and received net proceeds of $12.9 million from outlot sales.

**Competition**

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

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

**Government Regulation**

We are subject to various federal, state, and local environmental, health, safety, and similar laws, including:

*The Americans with Disabilities Act and Other Regulations.* Our properties must comply with Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (the "ADA") to the extent that such properties are public accommodations as defined by the ADA. The ADA may require removal of structural barriers to allow access by individuals with disabilities in certain public areas of our properties where such removal is readily achievable. We believe our existing properties are in substantial compliance with the ADA and that we will not be required to make substantial capital expenditures to address the requirements of the ADA. However, noncompliance with the ADA could result in orders requiring us to spend substantial sums to cure violations, pay attorneys' fees, or other amounts. The obligation to make readily accessible accommodations is an ongoing one, and we will continue to assess our properties and make alterations as appropriate in this respect. In addition, our properties are subject to fire and safety regulations, building codes, and other land use regulations.

*Affordable Care Act.* We may be subject to excise taxes under the employer mandate provisions of the Affordable Care Act (the "ACA") if we (i) do not offer health care coverage to substantially all of our full-time employees and their dependents or (ii) do not offer health care coverage that meets the ACA's affordability and minimum value standards. The excise tax is based on the number of full-time employees. We do not anticipate being subject to a penalty under the ACA; however, even in the event that we are, any such penalty would be less than $1.0 million, as we had 228 full-time employees as of December 31, 2025.

*Environmental Regulations.* Under various laws, ordinances, and regulations, as an owner or operator of real property, we may be or may become liable for the costs of investigation, removal, or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances (including petroleum products) released on, from or in our properties (potentially including former properties), or for property damage or bodily injury (including third-party claims), fines, liens, or natural resource damages arising from the presence of such hazardous or toxic substances. In addition, we could be liable for the costs of investigating or remediating contamination at off-site waste disposal facilities to which we have arranged for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i7ef8bc9526c04d628d2c9703883b14b1_10)</u>

Under certain laws, such liability may be imposed regardless of our knowledge whether we released the hazardous or toxic substances, or compliance with environmental laws; and the liability may be joint and several.

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

In addition, some of our properties have tenants that may use hazardous or toxic substances in the routine course of their business. In general, these tenants have covenanted in their lease agreements with us to use these substances, if any, in compliance with all environmental laws and have agreed to indemnify us for any damages we may suffer as a result of their use and any contamination they cause. However, these lease provisions may not fully protect us if a tenant responsible for environmental noncompliance or contamination becomes insolvent. Furthermore, certain of our properties have confirmed asbestos-containing building materials ("ACBM"), and other properties may contain such materials. Environmental laws require that ACBM be properly managed and maintained, and fines and penalties may be imposed on building owners or operators for failure to comply with these requirements. In addition, third parties may be allowed to seek recovery from owners or operators for personal injury associated with exposure to asbestos fibers.

In addition, our operations and those of our tenants are also subject to various federal, state, and local laws and regulations governing air emissions, wastewater, stormwater, and the use, storage, and disposal of hazardous and toxic substances.

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

We have continued to demonstrate our strong commitment to being a responsible corporate citizen through resource reduction and employee training, which has resulted in reductions in energy consumption and waste and improved maintenance cycles.

**Insurance**

We have a wholly owned captive insurance company, Birch Property and Casualty, LLC ("Birch"), which insures the first layer of general liability insurance for our properties subject to certain limitations. Birch was formed as part of our overall risk management program to stabilize insurance costs, manage exposure, and recoup expenses through the function of the captive program. We have capitalized Birch in accordance with the applicable regulatory requirements.

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

**Offices**

Our principal executive offices are located at 30 S. Meridian Street, Suite 1100, Indianapolis, IN 46204, and our telephone number is (317) 577-5600.

**Human Capital**

As of December 31, 2025, we had 228 full-time employees. The majority of these employees were based at our Indianapolis, Indiana, headquarters, though we also maintain regional offices across the United States. We believe our employees are the most important part of our business. We are committed to providing a work environment that attracts, develops, and retains high-performing individuals and treats employees with dignity and respect.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i7ef8bc9526c04d628d2c9703883b14b1_10)</u>

*Promote Fairness, Equal Opportunities, and Diversity of Experience*

Our policies are designed to promote fairness, equal opportunities, and diversity of experience within the Company. When attracting, developing, and retaining talent, we seek individuals who hold varied experiences and viewpoints and embody our core values to create an inclusive and diverse culture and workplace that allows each employee to do their best work and drive our collective success. We believe that a diverse workforce possesses a broader array of perspectives that businesses need to remain competitive in today's economy. We maintain employment policies that comply with federal, state, and local labor laws and promote a culture of fairness and respect. These policies set forth our goal to provide equal employment opportunity without discrimination or harassment on the basis of age, gender (including identity or expression), marital status, civil partnership status, sexual orientation, disability, color, nationality, race or ethnic origin, or religion or belief. All employees must follow a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that sets standards for appropriate behavior and complete mandatory training on respect in the workplace and diversity to further enhance our cultural behaviors.

*Professional Development and Training*

We believe a commitment to our employees' learning and development through training, educational opportunities, and mentorship is critical to our ability to continue to innovate. We focus on professional development at every level of the organization. We align employees' goals with our overall strategic direction to create a clear link between individual efforts and the long-term success of the Company and provide effective feedback on employees' performance towards goals to ensure their growth and development. We use the following tools to recognize our employees, advance our talent pool, and create a sustainable and long-term enterprise: (i) performance plans, (ii) talent recognition via our digital employee-to-employee Recognition Wall, (iii) the Level Up award that recognizes employees who have made an extraordinary effort to help the Company achieve success, (iv) the FOCUSED award that acknowledges employees who have embodied our FOCUSED values (forward-thinking, optimistic, collaborative, urgent, sound, empowered, and dedicated) throughout the year, and (v) individual development planning, along with reward packages. The Company also provides reimbursement opportunities for employees pursuing educational degrees or certification programs that are relevant to their roles or professional development, and we have a learning management system to enhance our employees' technical and professional development.

*Community Development*

We seek to foster a corporate culture where our many stakeholders, including our employees, engage in the topic of community development and collaborate to extend resources towards the advancement of this principle. We are proud to be active citizens of the communities in which we operate. In furtherance of this commitment, we partner with and support local charitable organizations that we believe are contributing to the growth and development of the community and host dozens of free community events throughout our portfolio. Our Kite Cares initiative contributes to the welfare of local youth and those in need. The program's efforts are community-focused and have included:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• charitable grants to programs benefiting our communities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Company-wide service projects focused on feeding those in need and supporting local farmers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• fundraising to support displaced workers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• contributions to healthcare workers and first responders; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• construction of a youth community center.

In addition, our employees have donated and coordinated substantial fundraising and have spent many hours volunteering to support various charities with which we partner. The Company supports these efforts with dedicated paid volunteer time off given annually to all employees and a 100% match of employee donations, subject to certain limits, to charitable causes.

*Team Wellness*

The health, safety, and well-being of our employees is always a top priority, and we foster an environment that allows our employees to succeed while balancing work and life. We provide a wide range of employee benefits, including comprehensive medical, prescription, dental, and vision insurance coverage, the majority of which is paid by the Company. We also provide paid maternity, paternity, and adoption leave; matching 401(k) contributions; free life insurance; disability benefits; spousal death benefits; education assistance reimbursements; and remote working and flexible scheduling arrangements. In addition, to enhance the well-being of our employees, we provide them with access to health and wellness programs that support physical, mental, and financial health, such as Lunch & Learns and Wellness Wednesdays.

**Corporate Responsibility**

The Company strives to be a responsible corporate citizen, and we recognize the importance that corporate responsibility initiatives play in our ability to generate long-term, sustainable returns. We maintain a cross-functional task force (the "Corporate Responsibility Task Force") that is comprised of senior leadership and members from various functional areas and is led by our Chief Executive Officer. The Corporate Responsibility Task Force meets quarterly to set, implement, monitor, and communicate our corporate responsibility strategy and related initiatives to our investors and other stakeholders, and it regularly reports to the Board of Trustees.

In June 2025, the Corporate Responsibility Task Force issued the Company's annual Corporate Responsibility Report, which is published on our website and provides a comprehensive overview of our corporate responsibility strategies and initiatives. The Company is committed to implementing sustainable business practices at our properties and is actively undertaking multiple projects to make our operations more energy efficient and reduce our environmental impact. These current projects include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• installing LED lighting in parking lots (82% of our properties have installed such LED lighting as of December 31, 2025, which has surpassed our goal of 80% of the portfolio by the end of 2026);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• implementing smart meters and other initiatives aimed at water conservation, recycling, and waste diversion (24% of our properties have implemented smart irrigation controls as of December 31, 2025, with a goal of 25% of the portfolio by the end of 2026);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• installing electric vehicle ("EV") charging stations (388 charging stations have been installed across 30 properties for a total of 18% of the portfolio as of December 31, 2025, with a goal of 20% of the portfolio by the end of 2026); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• receiving IREM certifications (135 properties, or 80% of the portfolio, have received such certifications as of December 31, 2025, which has surpassed our goal of 75% of the portfolio by the end of 2026).

In addition, we implemented a policy to transition landscaping in all future redevelopment projects to drought-tolerant landscaping where permitted by code. Recent business efforts encourage tenants to adopt green leases, which are also called "high-performance" or "energy-aligned" leases, to equitably share the costs and benefits of energy and water-saving improvements between building owners and tenants based on principles and best practices from the Green Lease Leaders Reference Guide by the Institute for Market Transformation and the U.S. Department of Energy. The Company has continued its partnership with One Tree Planted, a nonprofit organization committed to reforestation, and has planted over 59,000 new trees through its Project Green reforestation effort. We continue to evaluate potential actions that might reduce our carbon footprint or otherwise mitigate our environmental impact.

As described above, we are highly committed to our employees, and our policies are designed to promote fairness, equal opportunities, diversity, well-being, and professional development within the Company. Our corporate governance structure, led by our Board of Trustees, closely aligns our interests with those of our shareholders, as further described in our annual Proxy Statement.

**ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS**

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

**RISKS RELATED TO OUR OPERATIONS**

***Our business, financial condition, performance, and value are subject to risks and conditions associated with real estate assets and the real estate industry.***

Our primary business is the ownership, operation, acquisition, development, and redevelopment of high-quality, open-air, grocery-anchored shopping centers and vibrant mixed-use and lifestyle assets in the United States. Our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, per share trading price of our common shares, and ability to satisfy our debt service obligations and make distributions to our shareholders are subject to, and could be materially and adversely affected by, risks associated with acquiring, owning, and operating these types of real estate assets. These risks include events and conditions that are beyond our control, such as periods of economic slowdown or recession, federal government shutdowns, disruptions related to tariffs and other trade or sanction issues, declines in the financial condition of our tenants, natural disasters such as fires, earthquakes, or floods, rising interest rates, difficulty in leasing vacant space or renewing existing tenants, a decline in the value of our assets, or the public perception that any of these events may occur. Additionally, certain costs of our business, such as insurance, real estate taxes, utilities, and corporate expenses, are relatively inflexible and generally do not decrease if a property is not fully occupied, rental rates decline, a tenant fails to pay rent, or other circumstances cause our revenues to decrease. If we are unable to lower our operating costs when revenues decline and/or fully recover cost increases from our tenants, our financial condition, operating results, and cash flows could be materially and adversely impacted.

***Ongoing challenges facing our retail tenants, including bankruptcies, financial instability, and consolidations, could have a material adverse effect on our business.***

We derive the majority of our revenue from retail tenants who lease space from us at our properties; therefore, our ability to generate cash from operations is dependent upon the ability of our tenants to pay the base rent, expense recoveries, and other charges due under their leases on a timely basis. The success of our tenants in operating their businesses continues to be impacted by many current economic challenges, which impact their cost of doing business, including, but not limited to, inflation, labor shortages, tariff policies, supply chain constraints, retail theft, violent crime, decreasing consumer confidence and discretionary spending, increasing energy prices, and volatile interest rates. Sustained weakness in certain sectors of the U.S. economy could result in the bankruptcy or weakened financial condition of a number of retailers, including some of our tenants, and an increase in store closures. Tenants may also choose to consolidate, downsize, or relocate their operations for various reasons, including mergers or other restructurings. These events, or other similar events, and economic conditions are beyond our control and could affect the overall economy as well as specific properties in our portfolio and our overall cash flow and results of operations, including the following, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Collections.* Tenants may have difficulty paying their rent and other charges due under their lease agreements on a timely basis or request rent deferrals, reductions, or abatements as a result of operating challenges.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Leasing.* Tenants may delay or cancel lease commencements, decline to extend or renew leases upon expiration, reduce the size of their leased space, close certain locations, or declare bankruptcy, which could result in the termination of the tenant's lease and the related loss of rental income. Such terminations or cancellations could result in lease terminations or reductions in rent by certain other tenants in the same shopping center due to contractual co-tenancy termination or rent reduction rights contained in some leases.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Re-leasing.* We may be unable to re-lease vacated space at attractive rents or at all. In some cases, it may take an extended period of time or increased costs for renovations or concessions to re-lease a space, particularly if it involves a significant tenant or a non-owned anchor tenant in multiple locations.

***Elevated levels of inflation may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.***

Although inflation has moderated significantly from peak levels experienced during 2022, it may increase in the future as a result of multiple factors, including the tariffs implemented by the U.S. government in 2025 on imported goods from specific countries. These tariffs may lead to higher prices for many of the products that our tenants sell, potentially reducing consumer demand and spending and negatively impacting our tenants' sales volume and overall health. This, in turn, has and could in the

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i7ef8bc9526c04d628d2c9703883b14b1_10)</u>

future put downward pricing pressure on rents that we are able to charge to new or renewing tenants, such that rent spreads and, in some cases, our percentage rents could be adversely impacted. Many of our leases contain provisions designed to mitigate the adverse impact of inflation, including stated rent increases and requirements for tenants to pay a share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes, insurance, or other operating expenses related to the maintenance of our properties, with escalation clauses in most leases. However, the stated rent increases or limits on such tenant's obligation to pay its share of operating expenses could be lower than the increase in inflation at any given time. Inflation may also limit our ability to recover all of our operating expenses. In addition, a portion of our leases are based on a fixed amount or fixed percentage that is not subject to adjustment for inflation. Increased inflation could have a more pronounced negative impact on our interest and general and administrative expenses, as these costs could increase at a higher rate than the rent we charge to tenants. If we are unable to lower our operating costs when revenues decline or fully recover cost increases from our tenants, our financial performance could be materially and adversely affected.

***We may be unable to collect rent or make claims against a tenant in bankruptcy.***

Our business and financial condition depend on the financial stability of our tenants and our ability to lease space to them on economically favorable terms. From time to time, certain of our tenants have declared bankruptcy and other tenants may declare bankruptcy in the future. A bankruptcy filing by one of our tenants would legally prohibit us from collecting any unpaid rent from that tenant unless we receive an order from the bankruptcy court permitting us to do so. Such bankruptcies have in the past and could in the future delay, reduce, or ultimately preclude the collection of amounts owed to us, including both past and future rent. A tenant in bankruptcy may attempt to renegotiate their lease or request significant rent concessions. If a lease is assumed by a tenant in bankruptcy, all pre-bankruptcy amounts owed under the lease must be paid in full to us. However, if a lease is rejected by a tenant in bankruptcy, we would have only a general unsecured claim for damages that would be paid only to the extent that funds are available and in the same percentage as is paid to all other holders of unsecured claims. As a result, it is likely that we would recover substantially less than the full amount of any unsecured claim we hold from a tenant in bankruptcy, if at all, which would reduce our cash flows and could have a material adverse effect on us.

***E-commerce and other changes in consumer buying practices may impact our tenants and our business.***

***We face significant competition in leasing space at our properties, which may impact our rental rates, leasing terms, and expenditures for capital improvements.***

We compete for tenants with many public and private real estate companies, including developers, owners and operators of retail shopping centers and regional and outlet malls, many of whom own properties similar to, and in the same sub-markets as, our properties. As of December 31, 2025, leases representing approximately 7.0% of our total retail ABR were scheduled to expire in 2026. Some of our competitors may have greater capital resources than we do or may be willing to offer lower rental rates or more favorable terms to tenants, such as substantial rent reductions or abatements, tenant allowances or other improvements, or early termination rights. These accommodations may pressure us to reduce our rental rates, undertake unexpected capital improvements, or offer other terms less favorable to us, which could adversely affect our financial condition. Additionally, if retailers or consumers perceive that shopping at other locations owned by our competitors is more convenient, cost-effective, or otherwise more attractive, our revenues and results of operations may also suffer.

***Changing economic and retail market conditions in geographic areas where our properties are concentrated could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.***

The economic conditions in markets where our properties are concentrated can greatly influence our financial performance. The specific markets in which we operate may face challenging economic conditions that could persist into the future. As of December 31, 2025, rents from our properties in the states of Texas, Florida, Indiana, Virginia, and Maryland comprised 28.1%,

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i7ef8bc9526c04d628d2c9703883b14b1_10)</u>

11.4%, 6.5%, 6.5%, and 5.7% of our ABR, respectively. This level of concentration could expose us to greater market-dependent economic risks than if we owned properties in more geographic regions. Adverse economic or real estate trends in these states or the surrounding regions or any decrease in demand for retail space resulting from the local regulatory environment, business climate, or fiscal problems in these states could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and limit our ability to meet our financial obligations.

***Uninsured losses or losses in excess of insurance coverage could materially and adversely affect us.***

We do not carry insurance for generally uninsurable losses, such as those from riots, war, or acts of God and, in some cases, floods. Furthermore, insurance companies may stop providing coverage against certain types of losses, such as environmental liabilities or other catastrophic events, or if offered, the expense of obtaining that coverage may not be justified. Some of our insurance policies, such as those covering losses due to terrorism and floods, like the flood we experienced in July 2025 at Eastgate Crossing, are insured subject to limitations, and in the future, we may be unable to renew our current insurance coverage or initiate new coverage at adequate levels or at reasonable prices. Given the increase in severe climate-related events, we have experienced a significant increase in insurance rates for property insurance and may continue to do so in the future. The rates for casualty insurance have also continued to increase significantly due to an increase in litigation. In addition, tenants generally are required to indemnify and hold us harmless from liabilities resulting from injury to persons or damage to personal or real property on the leased premises due to activities conducted by them (including, without limitation, any environmental contamination). Tenants are also required, at their expense, to obtain and keep in full force during the term of their lease liability and property damage insurance. However, some tenants may not properly maintain their insurance policies or have the ability to pay the deductibles associated with them, in which case we would have to cover the cost to repair any property damage. If we experience a loss that is either uninsured or exceeds our policy limits, we could lose all or a portion of the capital invested in the damaged property, along with the anticipated future cash flows, while still being obligated for any recourse indebtedness, even if the property is irreparably damaged. Inflation, changes in building codes and ordinances, environmental considerations, and other factors might also make it impractical or undesirable for us to use insurance proceeds to replace a property after it has been damaged or destroyed. As a result, our financial condition, operating results, and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected.

***Developments and redevelopments have inherent risks that could adversely impact us.***

As of December 31, 2025, we had a development project under construction at One Loudoun Downtown in the Washington, D.C. MSA consisting of the retail and office portions of the expansion project (the "One Loudoun Expansion"). Based on our current plans and estimates, we anticipate that it will cost approximately $65.0 million to $75.0 million to complete. We also have nine redevelopment opportunities currently in the planning stage, including de-leasing space and evaluating development plans and costs with potential tenants and partners. Some of these plans include non-retail uses such as multifamily housing and a hotel. New development and redevelopment projects are subject to risks, including the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• expenditure of capital and time on projects that may not be pursued or completed;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• failure or inability to obtain construction or permanent 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, particularly labor and material costs, including as a result of inflation and tariff policies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• inability to complete construction on schedule due to a number of factors, including labor and supply chain disruptions and shortages, inclement weather, or natural disasters such as fires, earthquakes, 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 development or redevelopment period, causing a decrease in tenant sales;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• inability to secure key anchor or other tenants or complete the lease-up at anticipated absorption rates or at all;

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• investment returns from developments may be less than expected; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• suspension of development projects after construction has begun due to changes in economic conditions or other factors that may result in the write-off of costs, payment of additional costs, or increases in overall costs if the project is restarted.

As part of our investment decision to develop or redevelop a particular property, we make certain assumptions regarding the expected future performance of that property, which, if not met, could materially and adversely affect our financial

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i7ef8bc9526c04d628d2c9703883b14b1_10)</u>

performance. Our entire investment could be at risk for loss, or an impairment charge could occur if a development or redevelopment project is unsuccessful. In addition, new development and significant redevelopment activities, regardless of whether they are ultimately successful, typically require substantial time and attention from management.

***Pandemics or other public health crises could materially and adversely affect our business, financial performance and condition, operating results, and cash flows.***

A future public health crisis could have significant repercussions across domestic and global economies, including the retail sector within the U.S., and contribute to volatility and negative pressure in the financial markets. Government responses to such crises, including quarantines or other restrictions, as well as changes in consumer behavior, and business continuity disruptions and delays, could negatively affect our tenants and their ability to operate their businesses, which could impact our ability to collect on current or past due rent payments or fully recover amounts due under the terms of a lease agreement in the event of a default by a tenant. The direct and indirect impacts of a pandemic or other public health crises could adversely affect our financial condition, operating results, and cash flows.

***We and our tenants face risks related to cyber attacks that could cause loss of confidential information and other business disruptions.***

We and our tenants rely extensively on information technology ("IT") systems to process transactions and manage our businesses; as a result, we are at risk from, and may be impacted by, cybersecurity incidents. These incidents include unintentional or malicious attempts by individuals, including employees or contractors, or sophisticated organizations using advanced hacking tools and techniques that leverage artificial intelligence ("AI"), to gain unauthorized access to our data and IT systems. Cybersecurity incidents may involve social engineering/phishing, cyber attacks (including ransomware, malware attacks, unauthorized access attempts, and denial of service and other unintentional intrusions or malicious cyber attacks), cyber extortion or other fraudulent schemes, or attempts to exploit vulnerabilities, or may be predicated by geopolitical events, natural disasters, failures or impairments of telecommunications networks, or other catastrophic events. Further, new technologies such as AI may be more capable of evading these safeguards, and threat actors may use AI tools to automate and enhance cybersecurity attacks against us. If we, our vendors, or third parties experience an actual or perceived privacy or security incident because of the use of AI, we could lose valuable intellectual property and confidential information, and our reputation and the public perception of the effectiveness of our security measures could be harmed.

A cybersecurity incident could compromise the confidential information of our employees, tenants, and vendors; disrupt the proper functioning of our networks; result in misstated financial reports, violations of loan covenants, or missed reporting deadlines; impede our ability to maintain the building systems that our tenants rely on for the efficient use of their leased space; require significant management attention to remedy any damages; result in reputational damage to ourselves or our tenants; or lead to potential litigation or regulatory investigation, increased oversight, fines, or other penalties.

We employ a variety of measures to prevent, detect, respond to, and recover from cybersecurity threats, including through the use of AI-based tools; however, there is no guarantee such efforts will be successful in preventing or responding to a cybersecurity incident. The interpretation and application of cybersecurity and data protection laws and regulations are often uncertain and evolving. As a result, there can be no assurance that our security measures will be deemed adequate, appropriate, or reasonable by a regulator or court. Moreover, even security measures that are deemed appropriate, reasonable, or in accordance with applicable legal requirements may be unable to protect our IT systems or the information we maintain. Additionally, as increased regulatory compliance for cybersecurity protocols and disclosures are required by state or federal authorities, there is no guarantee that the increased amount of resources, both time and expense, will not adversely affect our business.

In addition, we rely on a number of service providers and vendors to provide important software, tools, and services, and operational functions, including payroll, accounting, budgeting, and lease management. As a result, cybersecurity risks at these service providers and vendors create additional risks for our information and business. While we may be entitled to damages if our service providers and vendors fail to satisfy their security-related obligations to us, any award may be insufficient to cover our damages, or we may be unable to recover such an award. A cybersecurity incident impacting us directly or through third parties may result in the disruption of our operations, material harm to our financial condition, cash flows, and the market price of our common shares; misappropriation of our assets; liability for information or assets that were inappropriately accessed, stolen, altered, or made unavailable; compromise of confidential information collected while conducting our business; increased cybersecurity protection and insurance costs; regulatory scrutiny or action; litigation; and damage to our stakeholder relationships and reputation. Despite our efforts to secure our IT networks and related systems, there can be no assurance that our efforts and measures or those of our third-party service providers will be effective or that attempted cyber attacks or disruptions will not be successful or damaging.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i7ef8bc9526c04d628d2c9703883b14b1_10)</u>

While we have obtained cybersecurity insurance, there are no assurances that the coverage would be adequate in relation to any incurred losses. Moreover, as cyber attacks increase in frequency and magnitude, we may be unable to obtain cybersecurity insurance in amounts and on terms we view as adequate for our operations in the future.

***We may be unable to obtain additional capital through the debt and equity markets on favorable terms or at all.***

To qualify as a REIT, we must distribute to our shareholders at least 90% of our annual "REIT taxable income" (determined before the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains). Due in part to this distribution requirement, we may be unable to fund all of our future capital needs with income from operations. Consequently, we may rely on external sources of capital. Our access to external capital depends on several factors, including general market conditions, our current and potential future earnings, the market's perception of our growth potential and risk profile, and our cash distributions. Disruptions in the financial markets could impact the overall amount of debt and equity capital available, our ability to access new capital on acceptable terms, and loan-to-value ratios; they could also lead to tighter lender underwriting standards and terms, as well as higher interest rate spreads. As a result, we may be unable to refinance or extend our existing indebtedness on favorable terms or at all. We have $410.6 million of debt principal scheduled to mature through December 31, 2026. If we are unable to obtain debt or equity capital on favorable terms or at all, our business could be negatively affected, including our ability to operate, maintain, or reinvest in our portfolio; dispose of properties on favorable terms due to an immediate need for capital; repay or refinance our indebtedness on or before maturity; acquire or develop properties when strategic opportunities exist; or make distributions to our shareholders, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business. If economic conditions deteriorate in any of our markets, we may have to seek less attractive, alternative sources of financing and adjust our business plan accordingly.

***We have a significant amount of indebtedness outstanding, and high interest rates could materially adversely affect us.***

As of December 31, 2025, we had approximately $3.0 billion of consolidated indebtedness outstanding, of which $497.2 million bore interest at variable rates. Due to the high inflationary environment we experienced from mid-2021 through 2022, the U.S. Federal Reserve sharply raised short-term interest rates in 2022 and 2023 to curtail the high inflation, which resulted in higher incremental borrowing costs for us. The U.S. Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 1.00% in 2024 and an additional 0.75% in 2025 as the inflationary pressures eased due to stronger economic data and an improving economic growth outlook. If the U.S. Federal Reserve raises interest rates in the future, the U.S. economy could be adversely impacted, including slowing economic growth and potentially causing a recession. In addition, increases in interest rates negatively affect the terms under which we are able to refinance our outstanding debt as it matures, to the extent we have not hedged our exposure to changes in interest rates. If our interest expense increased significantly, it could materially adversely affect us. For example, if market rates of interest on our variable rate debt outstanding as of December 31, 2025 increased by 1%, the increase in interest expense on our unhedged variable rate debt would decrease our future cash flows by approximately $5.0 million annually.

We may incur additional debt in connection with various development and redevelopment projects and when we acquire operating properties. Our organizational documents do not limit the amount of indebtedness that we may incur. In addition, we may increase our mortgage debt by obtaining loans secured by some or all of the real estate properties we develop or acquire. We may also borrow funds, if necessary, to satisfy the REIT distribution requirements or otherwise as is necessary to ensure we maintain our qualification as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes or avoid paying taxes that can be eliminated through distributions to our shareholders.

Our substantial debt could materially and adversely affect our business in other ways, including (i) requiring us to use a substantial portion of our cash flow to service our indebtedness, which would reduce the cash available to fund general corporate purposes and distributions; (ii) limiting our ability to obtain additional financing to fund our working capital needs, capital expenditures, acquisitions, other debt service requirements, or other purposes; (iii) increasing our cost of incurring additional debt and our exposure to variable interest rates; (iv) increasing our vulnerability to economic and industry downturns and reducing our flexibility in responding to changing business and economic conditions; and (v) placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to other real estate investors that are not as highly leveraged. The impact of any of these potential adverse consequences could have a material adverse effect on us.

***We could be adversely affected by the financial and other covenants and provisions contained in our financing agreements.***

Our Revolving Facility, senior unsecured term loans, and unsecured notes require compliance with certain financial and operating covenants, including, among others, certain leverage and interest coverage ratios and limitations on our ability to incur debt, make dividend payments, sell all or substantially all of our assets, and engage in mergers, consolidations, and certain acquisitions. These covenants may limit our operating and financial flexibility and our ability to respond to changes in our business or pursue strategic opportunities in the future, including our ability to obtain additional financing needed to address

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i7ef8bc9526c04d628d2c9703883b14b1_10)</u>

cash shortfalls or pursue growth opportunities or other accretive transactions. Further, our Revolving Facility is priced, in part, on a leverage grid that resets quarterly. A deterioration in our leverage covenant calculation could lead to a higher credit spread component within the applicable interest rate for this debt agreement and, therefore, result in higher interest expense.

In the event of a default under any of our debt agreements, our lenders or noteholders have various rights, including, but not limited to, the ability to require the acceleration of payment of all principal and interest then due and to terminate the agreements, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, limit our ability to make distributions to our shareholders, and prevent us from obtaining additional financing to address cash shortfalls or pursue growth opportunities. In addition, our debt agreements contain cross-defaults to certain other material indebtedness such that an "Event of Default" under one agreement could trigger an "Event of Default" under the other debt obligations. These provisions could allow our lenders and noteholders to accelerate the amount due under the loans and notes. If payment is accelerated, our liquid assets may not be sufficient to repay such debt in full. As of December 31, 2025, we believe we were in compliance with all applicable covenants under our debt agreements, although there can be no assurance that we will continue to remain in compliance in the future.

***Adverse changes in our credit ratings could affect our borrowing capacity and borrowing terms.***

Our creditworthiness is rated by nationally recognized credit rating agencies. The credit ratings assigned to us are based on our operating performance, liquidity and leverage ratios, financial condition and prospects, and other factors viewed by the credit rating agencies as relevant to our industry and the general economic outlook. Our credit rating can affect the amount of capital we access and the interest rate we receive, as well as the terms of certain existing and potential future debt financings. An adverse change in our credit rating or credit outlook, or even the initiation of a review of our credit rating that could result in an adverse change, could have a material adverse effect on our business, particularly since we rely on debt financing for growth of our business. Furthermore, our senior unsecured term loans are priced, in part, on our credit rating. A downgrade of our credit rating could result in a higher credit spread component within the applicable interest rate for those debt agreements and, therefore, higher interest expense.

***We are subject to risks associated with hedging agreements, including potential performance failures by counterparties and termination costs.***

We use interest rate hedging arrangements, including interest rate swaps and treasury locks, to manage our exposure to interest rate volatility. These arrangements involve risk, including the risk that counterparties may default on their hedging obligations and that these arrangements may be ineffective in reducing our exposure to interest rate changes. Developing and implementing an effective strategy for managing interest rate risk is complex, and no strategy can completely insulate us from the risks associated with fluctuations in interest rates. There can be no assurance that our hedging arrangements will qualify for hedge accounting or that our hedging activities will have the desired beneficial impact on our results of operations or financial condition. Further, should we choose to terminate a hedging agreement, there could be significant costs and cash requirements involved to fulfill our initial obligation under the agreement.

***Joint venture investments could be adversely affected by the structure, terms and activities of our joint venture partners.***

As of December 31, 2025, we owned interests in various joint venture investments, including interests in Delray Marketplace and a residential building at One Loudoun Downtown through consolidated joint ventures and interests in the following through unconsolidated joint ventures: a three-property retail portfolio consisting of Livingston Shopping Center, Plaza Volente, and Tamiami Crossing; the hotel component at Eddy Street Commons; the mixed-use development at The Corner – IN; Legacy West, a mixed-use asset in the Dallas/Ft. Worth MSA; and a three-property retail portfolio consisting of Denton Crossing, Parkway Towne Crossing, and The Landing at Tradition. We may pursue co-investing with third parties through other joint ventures in the future. Our joint ventures and the value and performance of the jointly owned properties may involve risks not present with respect to our wholly owned properties, including (i) shared decision-making authority, which may prevent us from taking actions that are in our best interest; (ii) restrictions on our ability to sell our interests in the joint ventures without the other partner's consent; (iii) potential conflicts of interest or other disputes, including potential litigation or arbitration that would prevent management from focusing their time and effort on our business; (iv) potential losses or increased costs or expenses arising from actions taken in respect of the joint ventures; (v) actions by our partners that could jeopardize our REIT status, require us to pay taxes, or subject the properties owned by the joint venture to liabilities greater than those contemplated by the terms of the joint venture agreements; and (vi) joint venture agreements may contain buy-sell provisions pursuant to which one partner may initiate procedures requiring us to buy the other partner's interest, all of which could affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. In addition, some of our joint venture partners are foreign entities, which are subject to U.S. laws governing foreign investments. Changes to these laws, including the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act ("FIRPTA") or CFIUS regulations, could increase tax burdens, impose new

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i7ef8bc9526c04d628d2c9703883b14b1_10)</u>

compliance obligations, delay or restrict transactions, or limit the foreign entity's ability to participate in the joint venture. Any such changes could negatively affect the joint venture's structure, operations, or returns and may negatively impact our business and financial results.

***We face significant competition and risks in pursuing acquisition opportunities.***

We continue to evaluate the market for potential acquisitions and may acquire properties when we believe strategic opportunities exist. When we pursue acquisitions, we may face competition from other real estate investors, some of whom may have substantial capital and a willingness to accept more risk than we do, which could (i) limit our ability to acquire properties, (ii) increase the purchase price we are required to pay, thus reducing the return to our shareholders, and (iii) cause us to agree to material restrictions or limitations in the purchase and sale agreements. In addition, properties we acquire in the future may fail to successfully integrate into our existing operating platform or achieve the expected occupancy and/or rental rates within the projected time frame, if at all, which may result in the properties' failure to achieve the expected investment returns. In certain circumstances, we may abandon a potential acquisition after spending significant resources to pursue the opportunity. These factors and any others could impede our growth and materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

***We may be unable to sell properties at the time we desire, on favorable terms, or at all, which could limit our ability to access capital through dispositions.***

Real estate investments are relatively illiquid and generally cannot be sold quickly. Our ability to dispose of properties on advantageous terms depends upon many factors that are beyond our control, and we cannot predict the various market conditions affecting real estate investments that will exist in the future. We may be unable to sell any of our properties on terms that are favorable to us or at all, and each individual sale will depend upon, among other things, (i) general economic and market conditions, (ii) competition from other sellers, (iii) increases in market capitalization rates, (iv) individual asset characteristics, and (v) the availability of attractive financing for potential buyers of our real estate. Further, we may incur expenses and transaction costs in connection with dispositions.

In addition, the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), generally imposes a 100% penalty tax on gains recognized by REITs upon the disposition of assets if the assets are held primarily for sale in the ordinary course of business rather than for investment, which could cause us to forgo or defer sales of properties that might otherwise be in our best interest to sell. This in turn may limit our ability to appropriately adjust our portfolio mix in response to market conditions. We will also be subject to income taxes on gains from the sale of any properties owned by any taxable REIT subsidiary ("TRS").

***We could experience a decline in the fair value of our real estate assets and be subject to impairment charges.***

Our real estate properties are carried at cost unless circumstances indicate that the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable through future operations. We periodically evaluate whether there are any indicators, including declines in property operating performance and general market conditions, that the carrying value of our real estate assets may be impaired. Changes in our disposition strategy or in the marketplace may alter the holding period of an asset or group of assets, which may result in an impairment loss that could be material to our financial condition or operating performance. To the extent the carrying value of the asset exceeds the estimated future undiscounted property cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized equal to the excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair value, which is highly subjective and involves a significant degree of management judgment regarding various assumptions. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, we recognized impairment charges totaling $54.4 million, $66.2 million, and $0.5 million, respectively. There can be no assurance that we will not recognize additional impairment charges in the future related to our assets, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in the period in which the impairment charge is recognized.

***We could be materially and adversely affected if we are found to be in breach of a ground lease at one of our properties or are unable to renew a ground lease.***

As of December 31, 2025, we had nine properties in our portfolio that are either completely or partially on land that is owned by third parties and leased to us pursuant to ground leases. If we are found to be in breach of a ground lease and that breach cannot be cured, or we are unable to extend the lease terms or purchase the fee interest in the underlying land prior to expiration, for which no assurance can be given, we could lose our interest in the improvements and the right to operate the property. As a result, we would be unable to derive income from such property, which could materially and adversely affect us. Assuming we exercise all available options to extend the terms, our ground leases will expire between 2045 and 2115. In certain cases, our ability to exercise the extension option is subject to the condition that we are not in default under the terms of

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i7ef8bc9526c04d628d2c9703883b14b1_10)</u>

the ground lease at the time we exercise such option, and we can provide no assurances that we will be able to exercise the extension options at such times.

***Natural disasters, severe weather conditions, climate change, and terrorism or other acts of crime or violence could have an adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.***

A significant number of our properties are located in areas that are susceptible to, or have been affected by, natural disasters and severe weather conditions such as hurricanes, tropical storms, tornadoes, earthquakes, floods, and wildfires. Changing weather patterns and climatic conditions, primarily as a result of climate change, may affect the predictability and frequency of natural disasters and severe weather conditions in some parts of the world and create additional uncertainty as to future trends and exposures, including certain areas in which our portfolio is concentrated, such as the states of Texas, Florida, and North Carolina and the MSAs of New York, Atlanta, Seattle, Chicago, and Washington, D.C. Natural disasters, severe weather, and climate change may delay new development and redevelopment projects, increase the costs of repairing or replacing damaged properties, raise future operating and insurance expenses, lead to population migration, and negatively impact the demand for retail space in the affected areas; in extreme cases, these factors may affect our ability to operate the properties altogether.

In addition, changes in federal, state, and local laws and regulations on climate may require us to (i) make additional investments in our properties, resulting in increased capital expenditures and operating costs, (ii) implement new or additional processes and controls to facilitate compliance, and/or (iii) pay additional energy, insurance, and real estate taxes, or potentially pay fines for noncompliance. For example, "green" building codes may seek to reduce emissions by imposing certain standards for design, construction materials, water and energy usage and efficiency, and waste management. These developments could increase the costs of maintaining or improving our properties and result in increased compliance costs or additional operating restrictions that could adversely impact our tenants' businesses and their ability to pay rent, which could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Potential terrorist attacks, shooting incidents, and other acts of crime or violence could also harm the demand for and value of our properties, including through damage, destruction, or loss at our properties; increased security costs; utility outages; and limited availability of terrorism insurance. If concerns regarding safety were to alter shopping habits or deter customers from visiting shopping centers, our tenants would be adversely affected, which could impact their ability to meet their lease obligations, make it difficult for us to renew or re-lease space at our properties at rental rates equal to or above historical rates, or result in increased volatility in the financial markets and economies.

Any one of these events could decrease demand for real estate, impact the occupancy at our properties, and limit our access to capital or increase our cost of raising capital, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

***We could incur significant costs related to environmental matters, and our ability to identify environmental liabilities may be limited.***

Under various laws, ordinances, and regulations, as an owner or operator of real property, we may be or may become liable for the costs of investigation, removal, or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances (including petroleum products) released on, from or in our properties (potentially including former properties), or for property damage or bodily injury (including third-party claims), fines, liens, or natural resource damages arising from the presence of such hazardous or toxic substances. In addition, we could be liable for the costs of investigating or remediating contamination at off-site waste disposal facilities to which we have arranged for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances. Under certain laws, such liability may be imposed regardless of our knowledge, whether we released the hazardous or toxic substances, or compliance with environmental laws; and the liability may be joint and several. Some properties in our portfolio contain, may have contained, or are adjacent to or near other properties that have contained or currently contain underground storage tanks for petroleum products or other hazardous or toxic substances, and some of our properties have tenants that may use hazardous or toxic substances in the course of their business. Indemnities in our lease agreements may not fully protect us if a tenant responsible for environmental noncompliance or contamination becomes insolvent. As is the case with many community and neighborhood shopping centers, many of our properties have or had on-site dry cleaners and gas stations, the prior or current use of which could potentially increase our environmental liability exposure. The costs associated with investigating and removing or remediating hazardous or toxic substances, as well as other contamination-related liabilities, may be substantial and could exceed the property's value. Additionally, the presence of these hazardous or toxic substances, or the failure to properly remediate them, may negatively impact our ability to sell or lease a contaminated property, borrow funds using the property as collateral, increase future development costs, or result in operational restrictions on the property.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i7ef8bc9526c04d628d2c9703883b14b1_10)</u>

Certain of our properties have confirmed ACBM, and other properties may contain such materials. Environmental laws require that ACBM be properly managed and maintained, and fines and penalties may be imposed on building owners or operators for failure to comply with these requirements. Furthermore, third parties may be allowed to seek recovery from owners or operators for personal injury associated with exposure to asbestos fibers.

Federal, state, and local governments impose environmental laws and regulations that govern our operations and those of our tenants, including with respect to air emissions, wastewater, stormwater, and the use, storage, and disposal of hazardous and toxic substances and petroleum products. We evaluate our properties for compliance with applicable environmental laws on a limited basis. The cost of complying with such laws and regulations may be significant, and those laws may become more stringent over time. Failure to comply with environmental laws, including neglecting to obtain required permits or licenses, could result in substantial fines or possible loss of operational authority.

We can provide no assurance that existing environmental studies with respect to our properties reveal all potential environmental liabilities or that current or future uses, conditions, or changes in environmental laws and regulations, including those related to climate change, will not result in environmental liabilities, additional costs, or operating restrictions on our properties or negatively affect our ability to sell or develop our properties or borrow funds using our properties as collateral.

***Compliance with the ADA and fire, safety, and other regulations may require us to make significant capital expenditures.***

All of the properties in our portfolio are required to comply with Title III of the ADA to the extent that they are public accommodations as defined by the ADA. Compliance with the ADA may necessitate removing access barriers, and noncompliance could lead to significant capital expenditures and legal fees to cure violations. Although we believe our properties substantially comply with the present requirements of the ADA, we have not conducted an audit or investigation of all of them to determine our compliance. While our tenants are typically obligated to cover costs associated with compliance, if required changes involve greater expenditures or faster timelines than anticipated, the ability of some of our tenants to cover these costs could be limited. In addition, we are required to operate our properties in compliance with applicable fire and safety regulations, building codes, and other land use regulations as adopted by governmental entities. We may be required to make substantial capital expenditures to comply with these regulations, and our ability to renovate affected properties could be restricted, which could affect our cash flows and results of operations.

***Use of artificial intelligence presents risks and challenges that could impact our business.***

As with many technological innovations, the use of artificial intelligence, including generative and agentic AI tools, presents risks and challenges that could adversely affect our business. We are evaluating AI solutions to assist our employees with research, content generation, data synthesis, and decision support. Our vendors may incorporate AI tools into their services and deliverables without telling us, and the companies that provide these AI tools may not meet existing or rapidly evolving regulatory or industry standards with respect to security, privacy, and data protection. Further, we may not be able to control how third-party AI technologies that we use are developed or maintained, how data we input is used or disclosed, even where we have sought contractual protections with respect to these matters, or how these third parties comply with evaluating regulatory or industry standards governing AI. In addition, the use of AI tools may introduce errors or inadequacies that are not easily detectable, including deficiencies, inaccuracies, or biases in the data used for AI training or in the content, analyses, or recommendations generated by AI applications. Because of these problems, these models could lead us to make flawed decisions that could result in adverse consequences to us, including reputational and competitive harm, loss of customers, and legal liability. Moreover, uncertainty in the regulatory environment related to AI may require significant resources to modify and maintain business practices to comply with applicable law, the nature of which continues to evolve and may prevent or limit our ability to use AI in our business, lead to regulatory fines or penalties, or require us to change our business practices. If we cannot use AI, or that use is restricted, our business may be less efficient, or we may be at a competitive disadvantage, which could adversely affect our business. Furthermore, investments in AI might not yield the expected benefits.

In addition, investors, analysts, and other market participants may use AI tools to process, summarize, or interpret our financial information or other data about us. The use of AI tools in financial and market analysis may introduce risks similar to those described above, including an inaccurate interpretation of our financial or operational performance or market trends or conditions, which in turn could result in inaccurate conclusions or investment recommendations.

***Focus on corporate responsibility may impose additional costs and expose us to new risks.***

Investors and other stakeholders continue to focus on understanding how companies address a variety of corporate responsibility matters and may look to corporate responsibility ratings systems or disclosure frameworks developed by third parties to allow comparisons between companies on corporate responsibility factors to guide their investment strategies. We

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i7ef8bc9526c04d628d2c9703883b14b1_10)</u>

provide corporate disclosures regarding our existing corporate responsibility programs and goals, including greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets and other sustainability initiatives, within our annual Corporate Responsibility Reports, which are published on our website. We also use GRESB, an independent organization that provides validated corporate responsibility performance data and peer benchmarks, as a method of engaging with shareholders. The focus and activism associated with corporate responsibility and related matters may constrain our business operations or cause us to incur additional costs. We may also face reputational damage in the event our corporate responsibility initiatives do not meet the standards set by various constituents, including those of third-party providers of corporate responsibility ratings and reports, which continue to evolve. Moreover, although we may publish voluntary disclosures in our Corporate Responsibility Reports, these disclosures are often based on hypothetical assumptions that may not accurately represent current risks, actual events, or forecasts of expected risks or events. Furthermore, should peer companies outperform us in these areas, potential or current investors may choose to invest with our competitors, which could have a material and adverse impact on our financial condition, the market price of our common shares, and our ability to raise capital.

As we continue to evolve our corporate responsibility practices, we could also be criticized by corporate responsibility detractors for the scope or nature of our corporate responsibility initiatives or goals. We could also encounter negative reactions from governmental actors (such as anti-corporate responsibility legislation or retaliatory legislation), tenants, and residents, which could have a material adverse effect on us.

**RISKS RELATED TO OUR ORGANIZATION AND STRUCTURE**

***Our organizational documents and Maryland law contain provisions that may delay, defer or prevent a change in control of the Company.***

Our organizational documents contain provisions that may have an anti-takeover effect and inhibit a change in control transaction, which could prevent our shareholders from being paid a premium for their common shares over the then-prevailing market prices.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) *There are ownership limits and restrictions on transferability in our declaration of trust.* To qualify as a REIT, no more than 50% of the value of our outstanding common shares may be owned, actually or constructively, by five or fewer individuals at any time during the last half of each taxable year. To ensure that we will not fail to satisfy this requirement and for anti-takeover reasons, our declaration of trust generally prohibits any shareholder (other than an excepted holder or certain designated investment entities, as defined in our declaration of trust) from owning (actually, constructively, or by attribution) more than 7% of the value or number, whichever is more restrictive, of our outstanding common shares. Our declaration of trust provides an excepted holder limit that allows certain members of the Kite family (and certain entities controlled by Kite family members) as a group to own more than 7% of our outstanding common shares, subject to applicable tax attribution rules. Currently, any single excepted holder would be attributed all the common shares owned by the other excepted holders, and, accordingly, the excepted holders as a group would not be allowed to own in excess of 21.5% in value or number, whichever is more restrictive, of our common shares. If at a later time there was not one excepted holder that would be attributed all of the shares owned by the excepted holders as a group, the excepted holder limit would not permit each excepted holder to own in excess of 21.5% of our common shares. Rather, the excepted holder limit would prevent two or more excepted holders who are treated as individuals under the applicable tax attribution rules from owning a higher percentage of our common shares than the maximum amount of common shares that could be owned by any one excepted holder (21.5%), plus the maximum amount of common shares that could be owned by any one or more other individual common shareholders who are not excepted holders (7%). Certain entities that are defined as designated investment entities in our declaration of trust, which generally includes pension funds, mutual funds, and certain investment management companies, are permitted to own up to 9.8% in value or number, whichever is more restrictive, of the outstanding shares of any class or series of shares so long as each beneficial owner of the shares owned by such designated investment entity would satisfy the 7% ownership limit if those beneficial owners owned directly their proportionate share of the common shares owned by the designated investment entity. Our Board of Trustees may waive, and has waived in the past, the ownership limits, subject to certain conditions. In addition, our declaration of trust contains certain other ownership restrictions intended to prevent us from earning income from related parties if such income would cause us to fail to comply with the REIT gross income requirements. The various ownership restrictions may discourage a tender offer or other change in control transaction or compel a shareholder who has acquired our common shares in excess of these ownership limitations to dispose of the additional shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) *Our declaration of trust permits our Board of Trustees to issue preferred shares with terms that may discourage a third party from acquiring us.* Our declaration of trust permits our Board of Trustees to issue up to 20.0 million preferred shares, having those preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to distributions, qualifications, or terms or conditions of redemption as determined by our Board of Trustees.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i7ef8bc9526c04d628d2c9703883b14b1_10)</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) *Our declaration of trust and bylaws contain other possible anti-takeover provisions.* Our declaration of trust and bylaws contain other provisions such as advance notice requirements for shareholder proposals, the ability of our Board of Trustees to reclassify shares or issue additional shares, and the absence of cumulative voting rights that may have the effect of delaying, deferring, or preventing a change in control of the Company or the removal of existing management.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) *The Maryland General Corporation Law, as amended (the "MGCL"), permits our Board of Trustees, without shareholder approval and regardless of what is currently provided in our declaration of trust or bylaws, to implement certain takeover defenses.* Although we have opted out of these provisions of Maryland law, our Board of Trustees may opt to make these provisions applicable to us at any time, which may have the effect of inhibiting a third party from making a proposal to acquire us or impeding a change in control under circumstances that otherwise could provide the holders of our common shares with the opportunity to realize a premium over the then-prevailing market price of our common shares.

***Our bylaws provide that the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland, will be the exclusive forum for any internal corporate claims and other matters, which could limit our shareholders' ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our trustees, officers, employees, or shareholders.***

Our bylaws provide that 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, Northern Division, shall be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any Internal Corporate Claim as defined under the MGCL, (ii) any derivative action or proceeding brought in the right or on behalf of the Company, (iii) any action asserting a claim of breach of any duty owed by any trustee, officer, employee or agent of the Company to the Company or our shareholders, (iv) any action asserting a claim against the Company or any trustee, officer, employee or agent of the Company arising pursuant to any provision of the MGCL, our declaration of trust or our bylaws, or (v) any action asserting a claim against the Company or any trustee, officer, employee or agent of the Company that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine.

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

Maryland law provides that a trustee has no liability in that capacity if he or she satisfies his or her duties to us and our shareholders. Under current Maryland law, our trustees and officers will not have any liability to us or our shareholders for money damages, except for liability resulting from (i) the actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money, property, or services or (ii) active or deliberate dishonesty by the trustee or officer that was established in a judgment or other final adjudication to be material to the cause of action.

In addition, our declaration of trust, bylaws, and indemnification agreements require us to indemnify our trustees and officers for actions taken by them in those capacities to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law. As a result, we and our shareholders may have more limited rights against our trustees and officers than might otherwise exist. Accordingly, if actions taken in good faith by any of our trustees or officers impede our performance, our shareholders' ability to recover damages from such trustees or officers will be limited. In addition, we may be obligated to advance the defense costs incurred by our trustees and executive officers and may, at the discretion of our Board of Trustees, advance the defense costs incurred by our other officers, employees, and other agents in connection with legal proceedings.

***Our UPREIT structure may result in potential conflicts of interest with limited partners in our Operating Partnership, including certain of our officers, whose interests may not be aligned with those of our shareholders.***

Certain of our officers own limited partner units in our Operating Partnership. These individuals may have personal interests that conflict with the interests of our shareholders with respect to business decisions affecting us and our Operating Partnership, such as interests in the timing and pricing of property dispositions or refinancing transactions to obtain favorable tax treatment. Under the limited partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership, Kite Realty Group Trust, as the general partner, is responsible for the management of the Operating Partnership's business and affairs. Conflicts of interest may exist or

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i7ef8bc9526c04d628d2c9703883b14b1_10)</u>

could arise in the future as a result of the relationships between us and our affiliates, on the one hand, and our Operating Partnership or any of its partners, on the other. Our trustees and officers have duties to our Company under Maryland law in connection with their management of Kite Realty Group Trust. At the same time, they have duties and obligations to our Operating Partnership and its limited partners under Delaware law as modified by the partnership agreement of our Operating Partnership in connection with the management of our Operating Partnership as the general partner. Kite Realty Group Trust's duties and obligations as the general partner of our Operating Partnership may come into conflict with the duties of our trustees and officers to our Company and our shareholders.

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

We depend significantly on the efforts and expertise of our executive management team, whose experience in real estate acquisitions, developments, finance, and management is a critical element of our future success. If any of our executive officers or other key personnel were to leave the Company for any reason, we may not be able to replace these individuals with an executive with equal skill, ability, and industry expertise within a reasonable timeframe, which could negatively affect our operations and financial condition.

***The cash available for distribution to our shareholders may not be sufficient to pay distributions at expected levels, nor can we assure you of our ability to make distributions in the future; we may use borrowed funds to make cash distributions and/or choose to make distributions payable, in part, in our common shares.***

To qualify as a REIT, we are required to distribute to our shareholders each year at least 90% of our "REIT taxable income," as determined before the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains. In order to eliminate U.S. federal income tax, we are required to distribute annually 100% of our net taxable income, including capital gains. If cash available for distribution generated by our assets decreases in future periods from expected levels, our inability to make expected distributions could result in a decrease in the market price of our common shares. Distributions, if any, are made at the discretion of our Board of Trustees and depend upon our earnings, financial condition, maintenance of our REIT qualification, and other factors that our Board of Trustees may deem relevant from time to time. We may be unable to make distributions in the future at current levels or at all. In addition, some of our distributions may include a return of capital. To the extent we choose to make distributions in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits, such distributions would generally be considered a return of capital for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent of the holder's adjusted tax basis in their common shares. A return of capital is not taxable, but it has the effect of reducing the holder's adjusted tax basis in their investment. To the extent that distributions exceed the adjusted tax basis of a holder's shares, they will be treated as gain from the sale or exchange of such shares. If we borrow to fund distributions, our future interest costs would increase, thereby reducing our earnings and cash available for distribution in the future. Finally, although we do not currently intend to do so, to maintain our REIT qualification, we may make distributions that are payable, in part, in our common shares. Taxable shareholders receiving such distributions will be required to include the full amount of such distributions as ordinary dividend income to the extent of our current or accumulated earnings and profits. Taxable shareholders may also be required to sell shares received in such distribution or other shares or assets owned by them at a time that may be disadvantageous to satisfy any tax imposed on such distribution. If a significant number of our shareholders determine that they need to sell common shares to pay taxes owed on dividend income, such a sale may put downward pressure on the market price of our common shares.

***Future offerings of debt securities, which would be senior to our equity securities, may adversely affect the market price of our common shares.***

In the future, we may seek to increase our capital resources through offerings of debt securities, including unsecured notes, medium-term notes, and senior or subordinated notes, as well as debt securities that are convertible into equity. Holders of our debt securities will generally be entitled to receive interest payments, both current and in connection with any liquidation or sale, prior to the holders of our common shares. Future offerings of debt securities, or the perception that such offerings may occur, may reduce the market price of our common shares and the distributions we pay with respect to our common shares. Our shareholders will bear the risk that future offerings of debt securities, which we may generally issue without shareholder consent, will reduce the market price of our equity securities.

**RISKS RELATED TO TAX MATTERS** 

***If the October 2021 merger with RPAI did not qualify as a reorganization, there may be adverse tax consequences.***

The parties intended that the October 2021 merger with RPAI be treated as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and it was a condition to the merger that we and RPAI received opinions from each party's respective

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i7ef8bc9526c04d628d2c9703883b14b1_10)</u>

counsel to the effect that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the merger constitutes a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. These tax opinions represent the legal judgment of counsel rendering the opinion and are not binding on the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") or any court. If the merger fails to qualify as a reorganization, U.S. holders of shares of RPAI common stock generally would recognize gain or loss, as applicable, equal to the difference between (i) the sum of the fair market value of the Company's common shares and cash in lieu of fractional common shares of the Company received by such holder in the merger and (ii) such holder's adjusted tax basis in their RPAI common stock.

***We may incur adverse tax consequences if we fail, or RPAI has failed, to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes.***

We believe that we have qualified for taxation as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2004, and that RPAI had operated in a manner that allowed it to qualify as a REIT, and we intend to operate in a manner we believe allows us to continue to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We have not requested and do not plan to request a ruling from the IRS that we qualify as a REIT, and the statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are not binding on the IRS or any court. Qualification as a REIT involves the application of highly technical and complex provisions of the Code for which there are only limited judicial and administrative interpretations. Certain facts and circumstances not entirely within our control may affect our ability to qualify as a REIT. In order to qualify as a REIT, we (before and after the merger) and RPAI (before the merger) must satisfy a number of requirements, including the ownership of our stock and the composition of our gross income and assets. Also, a REIT must make annual distributions to shareholders aggregating at least 90% of its net taxable income, excluding any net capital gains.

The fact that we own direct or indirect interests in one or more entities that have elected to be taxed as REITs under the U.S. federal income tax laws (each a "Subsidiary REIT") and hold substantially all of our assets through our Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries and joint ventures further complicates the application of the REIT requirements for us. Each Subsidiary REIT is subject to the various REIT qualification requirements that are applicable to us and certain other requirements. If a Subsidiary REIT were to fail to qualify as a REIT, then (i) it would become subject to regular U.S. federal corporate income tax, (ii) our interest in such Subsidiary REIT would cease to be a qualifying asset for purposes of the REIT asset tests, and (iii) it is possible that we would fail certain of the REIT asset tests, in which event we also would fail to qualify as a REIT unless we could avail ourselves of relief provisions. Even a technical or inadvertent mistake could jeopardize our REIT status, and, given the highly complex nature of the rules governing REITs and the ongoing importance of factual determinations, we cannot provide any assurance that we will continue to qualify as a REIT.

If we fail to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes and are unable to avail ourselves of certain savings provisions set forth in the Code, we will face serious tax consequences that would substantially reduce our cash available for distribution because:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• we would be subject to U.S. federal income tax on our net income at regular corporate income tax rates for the years we did not qualify for taxation as a REIT (and, for such years, would not be allowed a deduction for dividends paid to shareholders in computing our taxable income);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• we could be subject to certain taxes enacted by the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 that are applicable to non-REIT corporations, including the non-deductible 1% excise tax on certain stock repurchases;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• we could be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax and possibly increased state and local taxes for such periods;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• unless we are entitled to relief under applicable statutory provisions, neither the Company nor any "successor" corporation, trust, or association could elect to be taxed as a REIT until the fifth taxable year following the year during which we were disqualified;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• if we were to re-elect REIT status, we would have to distribute all earnings and profits from non-REIT years before the end of the first new REIT taxable year; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• for five years after re-electing REIT status, any taxable disposition of an owned asset would be subject to corporate-level tax on any built-in gains inherent in such asset at the time of re-election.

Even if we retain our REIT status, if RPAI loses its REIT status for a taxable year before the October 2021 merger, we will face serious tax consequences that would substantially reduce our cash available for distribution because:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• unless we are entitled to relief under applicable statutory provisions, the Company, as the "successor" trust to RPAI, could not elect to be taxed as a REIT until the fifth taxable year following the year during which RPAI was disqualified;

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i7ef8bc9526c04d628d2c9703883b14b1_10)</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Company, as the successor by merger to RPAI, would be subject to any corporate income tax liabilities of RPAI, including penalties and interest;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• assuming that we otherwise maintained our REIT qualification, we would be subject to tax on the built-in gain on each asset of RPAI existing at the time of the merger if we were to dispose of the RPAI asset for up to five years following the merger; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• assuming that we otherwise maintained our REIT qualification, we would succeed to any earnings and profits accumulated by RPAI for taxable periods that it did not qualify as a REIT, and we would have to pay a special dividend and/or employ applicable deficiency dividend procedures, including interest payments to the IRS, to eliminate such earnings and profits.

In addition, if there is an adjustment to RPAI's taxable income or deductions for dividends paid, we could elect to use the deficiency dividend procedures to maintain RPAI's REIT status, which could require us to make substantial distributions to our shareholders and pay a considerable amount of interest to the IRS.

As a result of these factors, our failure (before or after the merger) or RPAI's failure (before the merger) to qualify as a REIT could impair our ability to grow our business and raise capital and would materially adversely affect the value of our common shares.

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

Even if we qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we will be required to pay certain U.S. federal, state, and local taxes on our income and property. For example, we will be subject to income tax to the extent we distribute less than 100% of our REIT taxable income, including capital gains. Additionally, we will be subject to a 4% non-deductible excise tax on the amount, if any, by which dividends paid by us in any calendar year are less than the sum of 85% of our ordinary income, 95% of our capital gain net income, and 100% of our undistributed income from prior years. Moreover, if we have net income from "prohibited transactions," that income will be subject to a 100% penalty tax.

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

***REIT distribution requirements may increase our debt.***

We may be required, from time to time and under certain circumstances, to accrue income for U.S. federal income tax purposes that has not yet been received. In such an event, or when we repay the principal on our outstanding debt, we could have taxable income without sufficient cash to meet the distribution requirements of a REIT. Accordingly, we could be required to borrow funds or liquidate investments on disadvantageous terms to meet these distribution requirements, which could impact our financial condition, operating results, and cash flows. Additionally, the sale of properties resulting in significant tax gains could require higher distributions to our shareholders or payment of additional income taxes to maintain our REIT status.

***Complying with the REIT requirements may cause us to forgo and/or liquidate otherwise attractive investments and may limit our ability to hedge effectively and cause us to incur tax liabilities.***

To qualify as a REIT, we must continually satisfy tests concerning (i) the sources of our income, (ii) the nature and diversification of our assets, (iii) the amounts we distribute to our shareholders, and (iv) the ownership of our common shares, among other things. In order to meet these tests, we may be required to forgo investments we might otherwise make or liquidate investments from our portfolio that otherwise would be considered attractive. In addition, we may be required to make distributions to our shareholders at disadvantageous times or when funds are not readily available, which could reduce our income and amounts available for distribution to our shareholders.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i7ef8bc9526c04d628d2c9703883b14b1_10)</u>

In addition, the REIT provisions of the Code may limit our ability to hedge our liabilities. Generally, income from a hedging transaction will be excluded from "gross income" for purposes of the 75% and 95% gross income tests if the instrument hedges interest rate risk on liabilities used to carry or acquire real estate assets or manages the risk of certain currency fluctuations, and such instrument is properly identified under applicable Treasury Regulations. Income from hedging transactions that does not meet these requirements will generally constitute non-qualifying income for purposes of both gross income tests. As a result of these rules, we may be required to limit our use of hedging techniques that might otherwise be advantageous or implement those hedges through a TRS, which could increase the cost of our hedging activities because our TRS would be subject to tax on gains or expose us to greater risks associated with changes in interest rates than we would otherwise want to bear.

***Dividends paid by REITs generally do not qualify for effective tax rates as low as dividends paid by non-REIT "C" corporations.***

Legislation has reduced the maximum tax rate applicable to "qualified dividend income" paid by non-REIT "C" corporations to certain non-corporate U.S. shareholders to 23.8%, including the 3.8% Medicare tax applicable to net investment income. Dividends payable by REITs, however, are generally not eligible for the reduced rates. Non-corporate shareholders may deduct 20% of their dividends from REITs, excluding qualified dividend income and capital gains dividends. For non-corporate shareholders who are in the highest marginal tax bracket of 37%, the deduction for REIT dividends yields an effective income tax rate of 29.6% on those dividends, which is higher than the 20% tax rate on qualified dividend income paid by non-REIT "C" corporations. These rules do not adversely affect the taxation of REITs; however, they could cause certain non-corporate investors to perceive investments in REITs to be relatively less attractive than investments in the shares of non-REIT "C" corporations that pay dividends, which could adversely affect the value of our common shares.

***We may face adverse consequences if a transaction initially intended to qualify as a Code Section 1031 tax-deferred exchange is later determined to be taxable****.*

Occasionally, we may dispose of properties in transactions that are intended to qualify as "like-kind exchanges" under Section 1031 of the Code (a "1031 Exchange"). It is possible that the qualification of a transaction as a 1031 Exchange could be challenged and determined to be currently taxable. If this occurs, our taxable income and earnings and profits would increase, which could increase the income applicable to our shareholders and, therefore, may require additional distributions to shareholders or, in lieu of that, require us to pay corporate income tax, including possible interest and penalties. As a result, we may need to borrow funds to pay additional distributions or taxes, which could cause us to have less cash available to distribute to our shareholders. Moreover, legislation might be enacted that could modify or repeal the laws with respect to 1031 Exchanges, which could make it more difficult or impossible for us to dispose of properties on a tax-deferred basis.

***If the Operating Partnership fails to qualify as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we could fail to qualify as a REIT and suffer other adverse consequences.***

We believe that our Operating Partnership has been organized and operated in a manner that allows it to be treated as a partnership and not as an association or a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a partnership, our Operating Partnership is not subject to U.S. federal income tax on its income. Instead, each of its partners is allocated its share of our Operating Partnership's income. We can provide no assurance, however, that the IRS will not challenge our Operating Partnership's status as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes or that a court would not sustain such a challenge. If the IRS were successful in treating our Operating Partnership as an association or a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we would fail to meet the gross income tests and certain of the asset tests applicable to REITs and, accordingly, would cease to qualify as a REIT. Failure to qualify as a partnership would subject the Operating Partnership to U.S. federal corporate income tax, which would significantly reduce the amount of cash available for debt service and for distribution to its partners, including the Parent Company.

***There is a risk that the tax laws applicable to REITs may change.***

The IRS, the U.S. Treasury Department, and Congress frequently review U.S. federal income tax legislation, regulations, and other guidance. The Company cannot predict whether, when, or to what extent new U.S. federal tax laws, regulations, interpretations, or rulings will be adopted. Any legislative action may prospectively or retroactively modify the Company's tax treatment and, therefore, may adversely affect the taxation of the Company or its shareholders.

**ITEM 1C. CYBERSECURITY**

*Cybersecurity Risk Management Process*

The Company relies extensively on IT systems to operate and manage its business and process transactions. Therefore, cybersecurity incidents pose a risk to our business and have the potential to impact it. The Company's cybersecurity risk management program leverages the National Institute of Standards and Technology ("NIST") Cybersecurity Framework, which is used to benchmark and tailor the Company's strategies and program to our risk profile and specific operational needs and goals.

As risk management is an ongoing process, the Company regularly assesses its cybersecurity risks and adjusts its program accordingly. Multiple monitoring solutions automatically log potential cyber threats and proactively address them. Our monitoring tools use well-established scoring mechanisms to aid in the overall risk assessment. The scoring ranks potential threats by potential severity and likelihood and includes a review of mitigating factors. The Company prioritizes its cybersecurity investments based on the likelihood and impact of potential threats.

We recognize that cybercriminals frequently target employees to gain unauthorized access to information systems. Therefore, from onboarding and at least annually thereafter, the Company educates and trains its employees on cybersecurity leading practices using a variety of methods, which is supplemented throughout the year with regular phishing and other cyber-related testing. The Company regularly performs internal and external penetration testing and vulnerability scanning with the support of well-established third-party providers. The IT staff and management review any identified deficiencies or vulnerabilities, and remediation steps are taken based on the criticality of the results.

Cybersecurity tools and services are configured to identify threats and risks that may be associated with the use of third-party applications or solutions. We prioritize our cybersecurity efforts relating to third parties based on the likelihood and potential impact of cybersecurity threats. These efforts may include reviewing security documentation or protocols for key vendors, service providers, and external users of our systems.

The Company has developed cybersecurity incident response plans to contain, investigate, respond to, and recover from cybersecurity incidents that may jeopardize the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of our IT systems. Key members of management, including the Company's Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Administrative and Transformation Officer, and Chief Legal Officer, as well as employees from IT, internal audit, human resources, and marketing and communications, serve on the Company's security incident response team to help the Company mitigate and remediate cybersecurity incidents of which they are notified. Our response plans require prompt notification to members of senior management in the event of a significant cybersecurity incident and prompt briefings on further developments as appropriate.

*Risks And Impact From Cybersecurity Threats*

We have identified cyber attacks and other cybersecurity incidents on our IT systems and those of third parties, including through e-mail phishing attempts and scams, but none of the risks from cybersecurity threats or incidents identified as of December 31, 2025, including third-party incidents, during any of the prior three fiscal years, has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect the Company, including our business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. However, evolving cybersecurity threats make it increasingly challenging to anticipate, detect, and defend against them and any incidents. For more information regarding our cybersecurity risks, see *"We and our tenants face risks related to cyber attacks that could cause loss of confidential information and other business disruptions"* in Item 1A, "Risk Factors," within this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

*Board of Trustees Oversight*

Our Board of Trustees oversees various risks the Company may face from time to time. While the full Board of Trustees has primary responsibility for risk oversight, it has delegated to the Audit Committee the responsibility for overseeing the Company's enterprise risk management and risk mitigation policies and programs, including matters related to privacy and cybersecurity. The Audit Committee reviews the Company's cybersecurity risks and the effectiveness of its cybersecurity program every quarter, including current threat levels and ongoing program enhancements. The Audit Committee receives quarterly reports on these topics from the Senior Vice President—Chief Administrative and Transformation Officer and the Vice President—Internal Audit and Enterprise Risk Management. In addition, when appropriate, the Company's Chief Financial Officer will report cybersecurity risks and incidents to the Board of Trustees.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i7ef8bc9526c04d628d2c9703883b14b1_10)</u>

*Management's Role*

The Company's management team is responsible for implementing and managing the Company's cybersecurity risk management program. The management team regularly reviews the Company's cybersecurity risks and adjusts the program as needed. Risk data analyzed includes summary and detailed data from monitoring and protection systems along with remediation reports to help ensure the constant evolution of the program.

Key members of the IT team responsible for information security include individuals with over 20 years of experience in industries such as real estate, global retail, fintech, and insurance, as well as backgrounds with top IT service and solutions providers. Our team is supported by a third-party company that we have retained to act as our chief information officer based on the third-party company's extensive experience in the industry and knowledge regarding appropriate cybersecurity processes and procedures, and its ability to assess the integrity of those processes and procedures. The IT team provides quarterly reports to the Company's senior management, which typically address, among other things, the Company's cybersecurity strategy, initiatives, key security metrics, business response plans, and the evolving cybersecurity threat landscape.

The Company has cybersecurity insurance designed to cover certain expenses related to cybersecurity incidents. The Company also carries other insurance that may cover ancillary aspects of a cybersecurity incident; however, damage and claims arising from a cybersecurity incident may exceed the amount of any insurance available.

**PART II**

**ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED SHAREHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES**

*Market Information*

Our common shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") under the symbol "KRG." On February 13, 2026, the closing price of our common shares on the NYSE was $25.03.

*Holders*

On February 13, 2026, there were 8,417 registered holders of record of our common shares, which does not include beneficial or non-registered holders that hold their shares through various brokerage firms. This figure does not represent the actual number of beneficial owners since our common shares are often held in "street name" by securities dealers and others for the benefit of beneficial owners who may vote the shares.

Distributions, if any, will be declared and paid at the discretion of our Board of Trustees and will depend upon a number of factors, including the amount of cash generated by operating activities, our financial condition, capital requirements, the annual distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the Code, and such other factors as our Board of Trustees deem relevant.

Distributions by us to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits for U.S. federal income tax purposes will be taxable to shareholders as either ordinary dividend income or capital gain income if so declared by us. Distributions in excess of taxable earnings and profits generally will be treated as a non-taxable return of capital. These distributions, to the extent they do not exceed the shareholder's adjusted tax basis in its common shares, have the effect of deferring taxation until the sale of a shareholder's common shares. To the extent that distributions are both in excess of taxable earnings and profits and the shareholder's adjusted tax basis in its common shares, the distribution will be treated as a gain from the sale of common shares. In order to maintain our qualification as a REIT, we must make annual distributions to shareholders of at least 90% of our "REIT taxable income" (determined before the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains), and we must make distributions to shareholders equal to 100% of our net taxable income to eliminate U.S. federal income tax liability. Under certain circumstances, we could be required to make distributions in excess of cash available for distributions to meet such requirements. For the taxable year ended December 31, 2025, approximately 83.2% of our distributions to shareholders constituted taxable ordinary income dividends, and approximately 16.8% constituted taxable capital gains dividends.

Under our Revolving Facility, we are permitted to make distributions to our shareholders provided that no event of default exists. If an event of default exists, we may only make distributions sufficient to maintain our REIT status. However, we may not make any distributions if any event of default resulting from nonpayment or bankruptcy exists or if our obligations under the Revolving Facility are accelerated.

*Issuer Repurchases; Unregistered Sales of Securities*

From time to time, certain of our employees surrender common shares owned by them to satisfy their statutory minimum U.S. federal and state tax obligations associated with the vesting of restricted common shares of beneficial interest issued under the Company's 2013 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended and restated as of May 11, 2022. These shares are repurchased by the Company.

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

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

**Overview**

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

*Our Business and Properties*

Kite Realty Group Trust is a publicly held REIT that, through its majority-owned subsidiary, Kite Realty Group, L.P., owns interests in various operating subsidiaries and joint ventures engaged in the ownership, operation, acquisition, development, and redevelopment of high-quality, open-air, grocery-anchored shopping centers and vibrant mixed-use assets that are primarily located in high-growth Sun Belt markets and select strategic gateway markets in the United States. Following our merger with RPAI in 2021, we became a top-five open-air shopping center REIT based upon market capitalization. We derive our revenue primarily from the collection of contractual rents and reimbursement payments from tenants under existing lease agreements at each of our properties. Therefore, our operating results depend materially on, among other things, the ability of our tenants to make required lease payments, the health and resilience of the U.S. retail sector, particularly in light of increased tariffs in 2025, interest rate volatility, job growth, the real estate market, and overall economic conditions.

As of December 31, 2025, we own interests in a portfolio of 167 operating retail/mixed-use properties, including 159 wholly owned properties and eight properties owned through four unconsolidated joint ventures, totaling approximately 26.9 million square feet, excluding (i) two operating retail properties classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2025, (ii) Eastgate Crossing, a 152,682 square foot multi-tenant retail property in the Durham-Chapel Hill MSA that was reclassified from our operating portfolio in September 2025 due to significant disruption caused by severe flooding as a result of Tropical Storm Chantal, and (iii) two standalone office properties with 0.4 million square feet. Of the 167 operating retail/mixed-use properties, 10 contain an office component. We also own interests in one development project that is under construction as of December 31, 2025 and an additional two properties with future redevelopment opportunities.

*Inflation and Tariffs*

We continue to monitor the impact of inflation and tariffs on our operating and financial performance. Although inflation has moderated significantly from peak levels experienced during 2022, inflation may increase in the future as a result of multiple factors, including the tariffs implemented by the U.S. government in 2025 on imported goods from specific countries. These tariffs may lead to higher prices for many of the products that our tenants sell, potentially reducing consumer demand and spending and negatively impacting our tenants' sales volume and overall health. This, in turn, has and could in the future put downward pricing pressure on rents that we are able to charge to new or renewing tenants, such that rent spreads and, in some cases, our percentage rents could be adversely impacted. Additionally, uncertainty regarding the scope and duration of the current and potential tariffs can lead to significant business uncertainty, affecting our tenants' strategic planning and store expansion plans. Many of our leases contain provisions designed to mitigate the adverse impact of inflation, including stated rent increases and requirements for tenants to pay a share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes, insurance, or other operating expenses related to the maintenance of our properties, with escalation clauses in most leases. Over the past few years, we have made significant progress in executing leases that include higher fixed-rent increases while also including consumer price index-based, anti-gouging protection for tenants. However, the stated rent increases or limits on such tenant's obligation to pay its share of operating expenses could be lower than the increase in inflation at any given time. Inflation may also increase labor or other general and administrative expenses, which cannot be easily reduced.

Historically, economic indicators such as GDP growth, consumer confidence, and employment have been correlated with demand for certain of our tenants' products and services. An economic recession could, among other impacts, increase the number of our tenants that are unable to meet their lease obligations to us and limit the demand from new tenants for space in our properties.

*Portfolio Update*

Over the past two years, demand for open-air retail real estate has been strong due to the limited availability of desirable retail space and limited new construction over the previous 15 years. As a result, in 2024, we experienced our highest annual leasing activity in the Company's history with approximately 5.0 million square feet of leasing volume, and in 2025, we leased approximately 4.6 million square feet at 13.8% comparable blended cash leasing spreads. Open-air centers are thriving for a variety of reasons, including their ability to function as last-mile fulfillment centers and their convenient and affordable nature for retailers and consumers. Their appeal includes conveniently located and easily accessible parking fields, lower operating expenses as compared to other retail formats, and essential anchors that drive daily trips. In addition, the Company's property types are particularly suited for retailers' current and evolving needs, including curbside pick-up and buying online and picking up in store ("BOPIS"), which we believe will benefit from tenant demand for additional space. The strength of the Company's real estate is further evidenced by our continued strong cash leasing spreads and ABR for the retail portfolio of $22.63 per square foot as of December 31, 2025.

In evaluating potential acquisition, development, and redevelopment opportunities, we look for strong sub-markets where average household income, educational attainment, population density, traffic counts, and daytime workforce populations are above the broader market average. We also focus on locations that are benefiting from current population migratory patterns, namely major cities in business-friendly states with no or relatively low income taxes and mild or temperate climates. In our largest submarkets, household incomes are significantly higher and state income taxes are relatively lower than the medians for the broader markets.

In addition to targeting submarkets with strong consumer demographics, we focus on having the most desirable tenant mix at each shopping center. We have aggressively targeted and executed leases with prominent grocers, including Lidl, Aldi, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Sprouts Farmers Market, and BJ's Wholesale Club; expanding retailers such as Nordstrom Rack, Homesense, Ross Dress for Less, Burlington, Sierra, J.Crew Factory, and Boot Barn; service and restaurant retailers; and other retailers such as Ulta Beauty, Barnes & Noble, REI, Five Below, L.L.Bean, and Total Wine & More. Additionally, we have identified cost-efficient ways to relocate, re-tenant, and renegotiate leases at several of our properties, which allows us to attract more suitable tenants.

As part of our portfolio management, in 2025, we began disposing of select properties and land parcels that were no longer core components of our growth strategy and sold a total of $621.7 million of larger-format and other non-core assets. These dispositions have reduced our exposure to at-risk tenants and have elevated the overall quality of our portfolio. We are exploring opportunities to improve the portfolio by identifying and executing additional dispositions of non-core and/or larger-format assets in 2026. We expect to use the net proceeds from these dispositions towards a combination of acquisitions completed via 1031 Exchange, debt reduction, share repurchases, and/or special dividends. In order to allow for additional share repurchases, in February 2026, our Board of Trustees authorized a $300.0 million increase to the size of our Share Repurchase Program, authorizing share repurchases up to a maximum of $600.0 million of our common shares.

*Capital and Financing Activities*

In 2025, we maintained a conservative balance sheet and ample liquidity to fund future growth. We ended 2025 with approximately $1.0 billion of combined cash and borrowing capacity on the Revolving Facility. In addition, as of December 31, 2025, we had $410.6 million of debt principal scheduled to mature through December 31, 2026, which we expect will be satisfied through a combination of cash flows generated from operations, capital markets transactions, and borrowings on the Revolving Facility.

The three investment-grade credit ratings we maintain provide us with access to the unsecured public bond market, which we may continue to use in the future to finance acquisitions, repay maturing debt, and maintain steady interest rates.

*New Tax Legislation*

Effective July 4, 2025, certain changes to U.S. tax law were approved that impact us and our shareholders. Among other changes, this legislation (i) permanently extends the 20% deduction for "qualified REIT dividends" for individuals and other non-corporate taxpayers under Section 199A of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"), (ii) increases the percentage limit under the REIT asset test applicable to taxable REIT subsidiaries from 20% to 25% for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2025, and (iii) increases the base on which the 30% interest deduction limit under Section 163(j) of the Code applies by excluding depreciation, amortization, and depletion from the definition of "adjusted taxable income" (i.e., based on EBITDA rather than EBIT) for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2024.

**Results of Operations**

As of December 31, 2025, we own interests in a portfolio of 167 operating retail/mixed-use properties, excluding two operating retail properties classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2025 and Eastgate Crossing, which was reclassified from our operating portfolio in September 2025 due to significant disruption caused by severe flooding as a result of Tropical Storm Chantal. We also own interests in two standalone office properties, one development project that is currently under construction, and two additional properties with future redevelopment opportunities. The following table sets forth the total operating properties and development projects we own as of December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023:

(1)Included within the operating retail/mixed-use properties are 10 properties that contain an office component as of December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.

Our development, redevelopment, and operating property acquisition and disposition activities between 2023 and 2025 affect the comparability of our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025. Therefore, we believe it is most useful to review the comparisons of our results of operations for these years (as set forth below under "Comparison of Operating Results for the Years Ended December 31, 2025 and 2024") in conjunction with the discussion of our activities during those periods, which is set forth below.

(1)Transition date represents the date the property was transferred from our operating portfolio into redevelopment status. For legacy RPAI projects, the transition date represents the later of the date of the closing of the merger (October 2021) and the date the project was transferred into redevelopment status.

(2)The property is comprised of the development project (which has been excluded from the Company's same property pool due to the ongoing development) and the remaining retail operating portion of the property (which is included in the Company's same property pool as of December 31, 2025).

(3)This property has been identified as a redevelopment property and is not included in the operating portfolio or the same property pool. The redevelopment project at Hamilton Crossing Centre includes the creation of a mixed-use development.

(4)In January 2022, we sold approximately half of the Hamilton Crossing site to Republic Airways Inc. and in August 2025, we sold an additional 36,895 square feet to Republic Airways. In addition to the sale, the Company entered into a development and construction management agreement for the development of a corporate campus for Republic Airways. Phase I of the corporate campus was completed in 2023.

(5)This property is included in the office portfolio and is not included in the operating portfolio or the same property pool.

(6)This property is included in the operating portfolio and is not included in the same property pool because it was reclassified from active development into our operating portfolio in March 2025.

In addition, in December 2024, the Company disposed of the first phase of a land parcel and the rights to develop 24 residential units at the One Loudoun Expansion in the Washington, D.C. MSA. The Company is under contract to sell the remaining land and the rights to develop an additional 54 residential units, which are expected to close in phases through 2026. Subsequent to December 31, 2025, the Company closed on the sale of the second phase of a land parcel and the rights to develop 14 residential units at the One Loudoun Expansion for a sales price of $3.7 million.

Rental income (including tenant reimbursements) increased $4.2 million, or 0.5%, due to the following *(in thousands)*:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| | **Net Change<br>Year Ended<br>December 31, 2024 to 2025** |
| Properties or components of properties sold or held for sale during 2024 and/or 2025 | $(17026) |
| Properties under redevelopment or acquired during 2024 and/or 2025 | 6621 |
| Properties fully operational during 2024 and 2025 and other | 14628 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Total change in rental income | $4223 |

---

The net increase of $14.6 million in rental income for properties that were fully operational during 2024 and 2025 is primarily due to increases in (i) base minimum rent of $13.5 million due to contractual rent changes and an increase in leasing spreads and (ii) tenant reimbursements of $4.4 million due to higher recoverable common area maintenance expenses. These variances were partially offset by an increase in bad debt expense of $2.0 million and decreases in overage rent of $0.8 million and lease termination income of $0.6 million. The occupancy of the fully operational properties decreased from 91.8% for 2024 to 91.4% for 2025.

We continued to experience strong leasing volumes in 2025 and generate higher base rent on new leases and renewals. The average base rent for new comparable leases signed in 2025 was $29.78 per square foot compared to the average expiring base rent of $23.96 per square foot in that period. The average base rent for renewals signed in 2025 was $17.62 per square foot

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i7ef8bc9526c04d628d2c9703883b14b1_10)</u>

compared to the average expiring base rent of $16.41 per square foot in that period. For the entire portfolio, the spread between leased and occupied square footage is approximately 340 basis points and represents approximately $37.0 million of NOI, the majority of which is expected to come online in 2026. In addition, the ABR per square foot of our operating retail portfolio continued to improve, as it increased to $22.63 per square foot as of December 31, 2025 from $21.15 per square foot as of December 31, 2024.

Other property-related revenue primarily consists of parking revenues and other miscellaneous activity. This revenue increased by $3.1 million primarily as a result of the receipt of $3.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2025 related to the air rights lease at Eddy Street Commons in the South Bend, IN MSA.

We recorded fee income of $4.2 million and $4.7 million during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, from property management and development services provided to third parties and unconsolidated joint ventures. The decrease in fee income is primarily due to development fees earned during the year ended December 31, 2024 related to the development of a hotel on the Pan Am Plaza site that did not reoccur in 2025, partially offset by management fees earned during 2025 related to the Legacy West Joint Venture and the Seed Asset Joint Venture.

Property operating expenses increased $2.5 million, or 2.2%, due to the following *(in thousands)*:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| | **Net Change<br>Year Ended<br>December 31, 2024 to 2025** |
| Properties or components of properties sold or held for sale during 2024 and/or 2025 | $(2104) |
| Properties under redevelopment or acquired during 2024 and/or 2025 | 1129 |
| Properties fully operational during 2024 and 2025 and other | 3487 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Total change in property operating expenses | $2512 |

---

The net increase of $3.5 million in property operating expenses for properties that were fully operational during 2024 and 2025 is primarily due to increases in the following: (i) snow removal expenses of $1.0 million, (ii) landscaping and parking lot expenses of $0.5 million, (iii) non-recoverable operating expenses of $0.4 million, the majority of which relates to vacancies caused by retailer bankruptcies, (iv) utilities of $0.4 million, (v) administrative expenses of $0.4 million, and (vi) security expenses of $0.3 million. As a percentage of revenue, property operating expenses increased from 13.6% to 13.8%, primarily due to an increase in expenses in 2025.

Real estate taxes increased $0.6 million, or 0.6%, due to the following *(in thousands)*:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| | **Net Change<br>Year Ended<br>December 31, 2024 to 2025** |
| Properties or components of properties sold or held for sale during 2024 and/or 2025 | $(3008) |
| Properties under redevelopment or acquired during 2024 and/or 2025 | 1231 |
| Properties fully operational during 2024 and 2025 and other | 2415 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Total change in real estate taxes | $638 |

---

The net increase of $2.4 million in real estate taxes for properties that were fully operational during 2024 and 2025 is primarily due to higher real estate tax assessments and lower capitalized real estate taxes at certain properties in the portfolio in 2025, along with a decrease in real estate tax refunds received during the year ended December 31, 2025. The majority of real estate tax expenses are recoverable from tenants, and such recovery is reflected within "Rental income" in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

General, administrative and other expenses increased $2.9 million, or 5.5%, primarily due to an increase in payroll expenses, consulting fees, and state and local income taxes, partially offset by lower corporate communication expenses in 2025.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i7ef8bc9526c04d628d2c9703883b14b1_10)</u>

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $20.0 million, or 5.1%, due to the following *(in thousands)*:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| | **Net Change<br>Year Ended<br>December 31, 2024 to 2025** |
| Properties or components of properties sold or held for sale during 2024 and/or 2025 | $(16261) |
| Properties under redevelopment or acquired during 2024 and/or 2025 | 562 |
| Properties fully operational during 2024 and 2025 and other | (4349) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Total change in depreciation and amortization expense | $(20048) |

---

The net increase of $0.6 million in depreciation and amortization at properties under redevelopment or acquired during 2024 and/or 2025 is primarily due to the acquisitions of Parkside West Cobb in 2024 and Village Commons in 2025. The net decrease of $4.3 million in depreciation and amortization at properties that were fully operational during 2024 and 2025 is primarily due to the timing of placing assets in service and writing off tenant-related assets as a result of tenant move-outs.

Based on the results of our evaluations for impairment (see Note 4 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements), we recorded $51.8 million of impairment charges during the year ended December 31, 2025 on the following properties: (i) $12.5 million impairment charge on Coram Plaza, a retail operating property in the New York MSA; (ii) $17.0 million impairment charge on City Center, a retail operating property in the New York MSA; and (iii) $22.3 million impairment charge on the Carillon medical office building and retail portion of the property located in the Washington, D.C. MSA. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we recorded a $66.2 million impairment charge related to City Center.

Interest expense increased $6.9 million, or 5.5%, primarily due to interest incurred on the $350.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.95% senior unsecured notes due 2031 (the "Notes Due 2031") issued in August 2024 and the Notes Due 2032 issued in June 2025, an increase in interest incurred on the Company's unsecured revolving line of credit due to increased borrowings, and less favorable interest rate swaps in 2025 compared to the prior year, partially offset by a decrease in interest incurred on the unsecured term loans and private placement notes (see Note 9 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements).

We recorded a net gain on sales of operating properties of $292.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 on the sales of 13 operating retail properties and the contribution of three previously wholly owned properties to the Seed Asset Joint Venture compared to a net loss on sales of operating properties of $0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 primarily on the sale of Ashland & Roosevelt, which loss was offset by the receipt of a $0.6 million escrow related to the sale of Reisterstown Road Plaza that previously closed on September 11, 2023.

We recorded a net gain from outlot sales of $6.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 primarily on the sale of land at Lakewood Towne Center in the Seattle MSA, compared to a net gain from outlot sales of $4.4 million recorded during the year ended December 31, 2024 primarily on the sale of a land parcel and the rights to develop 24 residential units at the One Loudoun Expansion in the Washington, D.C. MSA and two outparcels at two properties.

Equity in loss of unconsolidated joint ventures increased $10.5 million primarily due to the April 2025 acquisition of 52% of Legacy West in a joint venture along with the contribution of three previously wholly owned properties to the Seed Asset Joint Venture in June 2025, of which we own 52%.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, we recognized a $2.3 million gain on sale of unconsolidated property related to our share of the gain on the sale of Glendale Center Apartments. No such gain was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2025.

Other income, net decreased $8.8 million, or 49.4%, primarily due to a decrease in interest income earned during the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the prior year.

Management's discussion of the financial condition, changes in financial condition, and results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024, with comparison to the year ended December 31, 2023, was included in Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

*Net Operating Income and Same Property Net Operating Income*

We use net operating income ("NOI"), a non-GAAP financial measure, to evaluate the performance of our properties. We also use total property NOI, which is defined as NOI plus net gains from outlot sales. We define NOI as income from our real estate, including lease termination fees received from tenants, less our property operating expenses. NOI excludes amortization of capitalized tenant improvement costs and leasing commissions and certain corporate-level expenses, including merger and acquisition costs. We believe that NOI is helpful to investors as a measure of our operating performance because it excludes various items included in net income that do not relate to or are not indicative of our operating performance, such as depreciation and amortization, interest expense, and impairment, if any.

We also use same property NOI ("Same Property NOI"), a non-GAAP financial measure, to evaluate the performance of our properties. Same Property NOI is net income excluding properties that have not been owned for the full periods presented. Same Property NOI also excludes (i) net gains from outlot sales, (ii) straight-line rent revenue, (iii) lease termination income in excess of lost rent, (iv) amortization of lease intangibles, and (v) significant prior period expense recoveries and adjustments, if any. When we receive payments in excess of any accounts receivable for terminating a lease, Same Property NOI will include such excess payments as monthly rent until the earlier of the expiration of 12 months or the start date of a replacement tenant. We believe that Same Property NOI is helpful to investors as a measure of our operating performance because it includes only the NOI of properties that have been owned for the full periods presented. We believe such presentation eliminates disparities in net income due to the acquisition or disposition of properties during the particular periods presented and thus provides a more consistent metric for the comparison of our properties. Same Property NOI includes the results of properties that have been owned for the entire current and prior year reporting periods. Same Property NOI for all periods presented includes 52% of the NOI from the three previously wholly owned properties that were contributed to the Seed Asset Joint Venture in June 2025.

NOI and Same Property NOI should not, however, be considered as an alternative to net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of our financial performance. Our computation of NOI and Same Property NOI may differ from the methodology used by other REITs and, therefore, may not be comparable to such other REITs.

When evaluating the properties that are included in the Same Property Pool, we have established specific criteria for determining the inclusion of properties acquired or those recently under development. An acquired property is included in the Same Property Pool when there is a full quarter of operations in both years subsequent to the acquisition date. Development and redevelopment properties are included in the Same Property Pool four full quarters after the properties have been transferred to the operating portfolio. A redevelopment property is first excluded from the Same Property Pool when the execution of a redevelopment plan is likely, and we (a) begin recapturing space from tenants or (b) the contemplated plan significantly impacts the operations of the property.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Same Property Pool excludes the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• properties acquired or placed in service during 2024 and 2025;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Corner – IN, which was reclassified from active development into our operating portfolio in March 2025;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Eastgate Crossing, which was reclassified from our operating portfolio in September 2025 due to significant disruption caused by severe flooding as a result of Tropical Storm Chantal;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our active development project at One Loudoun Expansion;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Hamilton Crossing Centre and Edwards Multiplex – Ontario, which were reclassified from our operating portfolio into redevelopment in June 2014 and March 2023, respectively;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• properties sold or classified as held for sale during 2024 and 2025; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• standalone office properties, including the Carillon medical office building, which was reclassified from active redevelopment into our office portfolio in December 2024.

(1)Same Property NOI excludes the following: (i) properties acquired or placed in service during 2024 and 2025; (ii) The Corner – IN, which was reclassified from active development into our operating portfolio in March 2025; (iii) Eastgate Crossing, which was reclassified from our operating portfolio in September 2025 due to significant disruption caused by severe flooding as a result of Tropical Storm Chantal; (iv) our active development project at One Loudoun Expansion; (v) Hamilton Crossing Centre and Edwards Multiplex – Ontario, which were reclassified from our operating portfolio into redevelopment in June 2014 and March 2023, respectively; (vi) properties sold or classified as held for sale during 2024 and 2025; and (vii) standalone office properties, including the Carillon medical office building, which was reclassified from active redevelopment into our office portfolio in December 2024.

(2)Excludes leases that are signed but for which tenants have not yet commenced the payment of cash rent; calculated as a weighted average based on the timing of cash rent commencement and expiration during the period.

(3)Same Property NOI for all periods presented includes 52% of the NOI from the three previously wholly owned properties that were contributed to the Seed Asset Joint Venture in June 2025.

(4)Includes non-cash activity across the portfolio as well as NOI from properties not included in the Same Property Pool, including properties sold during both periods.

Our Same Property NOI increased 2.9% in 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to contractual rent growth and higher base rent driven by positive new and renewal leasing spreads, partially offset by higher bad debt expense.

**NAREIT Funds From Operations**

NAREIT Funds From Operations ("FFO") is a widely used performance measure for real estate companies and is provided here as a supplemental measure of our operating performance. We calculate FFO, a non-GAAP financial measure, in accordance with the best practices described in the April 2002 National Policy Bulletin of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"), as restated in 2018. The NAREIT white paper defines FFO as net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding (i) depreciation and amortization related to real estate, (ii) gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets, (iii) gains and losses from change in control, and (iv) impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i7ef8bc9526c04d628d2c9703883b14b1_10)</u>

Considering the nature of our business as a real estate owner and operator, we believe that FFO is helpful to investors in measuring our operational performance because it excludes various items included in net income that do not relate to or are not indicative of our operating performance, such as gains or losses from sales of depreciated property and depreciation and amortization, which can make periodic and peer analyses of operating performance more difficult. FFO (a) should not be considered as an alternative to net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP) for the purpose of measuring our financial performance, (b) is not an alternative to cash flows from operating activities (calculated in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our liquidity, and (c) is not indicative of funds available to satisfy our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions. Our computation of FFO may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do.

From time to time, we may report or provide guidance with respect to "FFO, as adjusted," which removes the impact of certain non-recurring and non-operating transactions or other items the Company does not consider to be representative of its core operating results, including, without limitation, (i) gains or losses associated with the early extinguishment of debt, (ii) gains or losses associated with litigation involving the Company that is not in the normal course of business, (iii) merger and acquisition costs, (iv) the impact on earnings from significant and non-recurring employee severance costs and recruiting expenses, including sign-on bonuses and search fees, (v) the excess of redemption value over carrying value of preferred stock redemption, and (vi) the impact of prior period bad debt or the collection of accounts receivable previously written off ("prior period collection impact"), which are not otherwise adjusted in our calculation of FFO.

Core Funds From Operations ("Core FFO") is a non-GAAP financial measure of operating performance that modifies FFO for certain non-cash transactions that result in recording income or expense and impact our period-over-period performance, including (i) amortization of deferred financing costs, (ii) non-cash compensation expense and other, (iii) straight-line rent related to minimum rent and common area maintenance, (iv) market rent amortization income, and (v) amortization of debt discounts, premiums and hedge instruments, and includes adjustments related to our pro rata share from unconsolidated joint ventures for these categories as applicable. We believe that Core FFO is useful to investors in evaluating our core cash flow-generating operations by adjusting for items that we do not consider to be part of our core business operations, allowing for comparison of our core operating performance between periods. Core FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of our performance or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity or our ability to make distributions. Our computation of Core FFO may differ from the methodology for calculating Core FFO used by other REITs, and therefore, may not be comparable to such other REITs.

(1)"NAREIT FFO of the Operating Partnership" measures 100% of the operating performance of the Operating Partnership's real estate properties. "FFO attributable to common shareholders" reflects a reduction for the redeemable noncontrolling weighted average diluted interest in the Operating Partnership.

(2)Includes the Company's pro rata share from unconsolidated joint ventures.

**Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA")**

We define EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, as net income before interest expense, income tax expense of the taxable REIT subsidiaries, and depreciation and amortization. For informational purposes, we also provide Adjusted EBITDA, which we define as EBITDA less (i) EBITDA from unconsolidated entities, as adjusted, (ii) gains on sales of operating properties or impairment charges, (iii) merger and acquisition costs, (iv) other income and expense, (v) noncontrolling interest Adjusted EBITDA, and (vi) other non-recurring activity or items impacting comparability from period to period. Annualized Adjusted EBITDA is Adjusted EBITDA for the most recent quarter multiplied by four. Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA is our share of net debt divided by Annualized Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Annualized Adjusted EBITDA, and Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA, as calculated by us, are not comparable to EBITDA and EBITDA-related measures reported by other REITs that do not define EBITDA and EBITDA-related measures exactly as we do. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Annualized Adjusted EBITDA do not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered alternatives to net income as an indicator of performance or as alternatives to cash flows from operating activities as an indicator of liquidity.

Considering the nature of our business as a real estate owner and operator, we believe that EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and the ratio of Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA are helpful to investors in measuring our operational performance because they exclude various items included in net income that do not relate to or are not indicative of our operating performance, such as gains or losses from sales of depreciated property and depreciation and amortization, which can make periodic and peer analyses of operating performance more difficult. For informational purposes, we also provide Annualized Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted as described above. We believe this supplemental information provides a meaningful measure of our operating

performance. We believe presenting EBITDA and the related measures in this manner allows investors and other interested parties to form a more meaningful assessment of our operating results.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

*Overview*

Our primary finance and capital strategy is to maintain a strong balance sheet with sufficient flexibility to fund our operating and investment activities in a cost-effective manner. We consider a number of factors when evaluating our level of indebtedness and making decisions regarding additional borrowings or equity offerings, including the interest or dividend rate, the maturity date and the Company's debt maturity ladder, the impact of financial metrics such as overall Company leverage levels and coverage ratios, and the Company's ability to generate cash flow to cover debt service. We continuously monitor the capital markets and may consider raising additional capital through the issuance of our common or preferred shares, unsecured debt securities, or other securities.

As of December 31, 2025, we had approximately $36.8 million in cash and cash equivalents on hand, $441.6 million in restricted cash and escrow deposits, and $1.0 billion of remaining availability under the Revolving Facility compared to $410.6 million of debt maturities due in 2026. During the year ended December 31, 2025, we completed (i) a public offering of

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i7ef8bc9526c04d628d2c9703883b14b1_10)</u>

$300.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the Notes Due 2032, the proceeds of which were used to repay the $150.0 million unsecured term loan that was scheduled to mature on July 17, 2026, borrowings on the Revolving Facility, and the $80.0 million principal balance of the 4.47% senior unsecured notes that matured on September 10, 2025, and (ii) the repayment of the $350.0 million principal balance of the 4.00% senior unsecured notes that matured on March 15, 2025 using proceeds from the $350.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the Notes Due 2031. We believe we will have adequate liquidity over the next 12 months and beyond to operate our business and meet our cash requirements.

We derive the majority of our revenue from tenants who lease space from us under existing lease agreements at each of our properties. Therefore, our ability to generate cash from operations is dependent upon the rents that we are able to charge and collect from our tenants. While we believe that the nature of the properties in which we typically invest—primarily neighborhood and community shopping centers—provides a relatively stable revenue flow, an economic downturn, tenant bankruptcies, inflation, tariffs, labor shortages, supply chain constraints, severe weather events, and/or increasing energy prices and interest rates, among other events, could adversely affect the ability of some of our tenants to meet their lease obligations.

*Our Principal Capital Resources*

For a discussion of cash generated from operations, see "Cash Flows" beginning on page 50. In addition to cash generated from operations, our other principal capital resources are discussed below.

Over the last several years, we have made substantial progress in enhancing our liquidity position and reducing our leverage and borrowing costs. We continue to focus on a balanced approach to growth and staggering debt maturities to retain our financial flexibility.

As of December 31, 2025, we had approximately $1.0 billion available under the Revolving Facility for future borrowings. We also had $36.8 million in cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2025.

We were in compliance with all applicable financial covenants under the Revolving Facility, unsecured term loans, and senior unsecured notes as of December 31, 2025.

On June 7, 2024, the Company filed a shelf registration statement with the SEC on Form S-3, which is effective for a term of three years, relating to the offer and sale, from time to time, of an indeterminate amount of equity and debt securities. Equity securities may be offered and sold by the Parent Company, and the net proceeds of any such offerings would be contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for additional General Partner Units. Debt securities may be offered and sold by the Operating Partnership with the Operating Partnership receiving the proceeds. From time to time, we may issue securities under this shelf registration statement for general corporate purposes, which may include acquisitions of additional properties, repayment of outstanding indebtedness, capital expenditures, the expansion, redevelopment, and/or improvement of properties in our portfolio, working capital, and other general purposes.

In the future, we will continue to monitor the capital markets and may consider raising additional capital through the issuance of our common shares, preferred shares, or other securities. We may also raise capital by disposing of properties, land parcels, or other assets that are no longer core components of our growth strategy. The sales price may differ from our carrying value at the time of sale.

*Our Principal Liquidity Needs*

*<u>Short-Term Liquidity Needs</u>*

*Near-Term Debt Maturities*. As of December 31, 2025, we have $10.6 million of secured debt, excluding scheduled monthly principal payments, and $400.0 million of unsecured debt scheduled to mature in 2026. We believe we have sufficient liquidity to repay these obligations through a combination of cash flows generated from operations, capital markets transactions, and borrowings on the Revolving Facility.

*Other Short-Term Liquidity Needs.* The requirements for qualifying as a REIT and for a tax deduction for some or all of the dividends paid to shareholders necessitate that we distribute at least 90% of our taxable income on an annual basis. Such requirements cause us to have substantial liquidity needs over both the short and long term. Our short-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary to pay operating expenses associated with our operating properties, scheduled interest and principal payments on our debt of approximately $125 million and $4.6 million, respectively, in 2026, expected dividend payments to our common shareholders and common unit holders, and recurring capital expenditures.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i7ef8bc9526c04d628d2c9703883b14b1_10)</u>

In February 2026, our Board of Trustees declared a cash distribution of $0.29 per common share and Common Unit for the first quarter of 2026, which is expected to be paid on April 16, 2026 to common shareholders and common unit holders of record as of April 9, 2026. Future distributions, if any, are at the discretion of the Board of Trustees, who will continue to evaluate our sources and uses of capital, liquidity position, operating fundamentals, maintenance of our REIT qualification, and other factors they may deem relevant. We believe we have sufficient liquidity to pay any dividend from available cash on hand and borrowings on the Revolving Facility.

Other short-term liquidity needs include expenditures for tenant improvements, external leasing commissions, and recurring capital expenditures. During the year ended December 31, 2025, we incurred $28.7 million for recurring capital expenditures on operating properties and $84.2 million for tenant improvements and external leasing commissions, which includes costs to re-lease anchor space at our operating properties related to tenants open and operating as of December 31, 2025 (excluding development and redevelopment properties). We currently anticipate incurring approximately $130 million in additional major tenant improvement costs related to executed leases for tenants not yet open at a number of our operating properties over the next 12 to 24 months. We believe we can fund these costs through cash flows generated from operations or borrowings on the Revolving Facility.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, we completed the major redevelopment construction activities at The Corner – IN and reclassified the property from active development into our operating portfolio in March 2025. As of December 31, 2025, the retail and office portions of the expansion project at One Loudoun Expansion in the Washington, D.C. MSA were under construction. Our share of the total estimated costs for this project is approximately $81.0 million to $91.0 million, of which our share of the expected funding requirement is approximately $65.0 million to $75.0 million. As of December 31, 2025, we have incurred $15.0 million of these costs. We anticipate incurring the majority of the remaining costs for this project over the next 12 to 24 months and believe we can fund this project through cash flows generated from operations or borrowings on the Revolving Facility.

*<u>Share Repurchase Program</u>*

In February 2021, our Board of Trustees approved a share repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase, from time to time, up to an aggregate of $150.0 million of our common shares. In April 2022, our Board of Trustees authorized a $150.0 million increase to the size of the share repurchase program, authorizing share repurchases up to a maximum of $300.0 million of our common shares (the "Share Repurchase Program"). The Company intends to fund any future repurchases under the Share Repurchase Program with available cash on hand or availability under the Revolving Facility, subject to any applicable restrictions. The timing of share repurchases and the number of common shares to be repurchased under the Share Repurchase Program will depend upon prevailing market conditions, regulatory requirements, and other factors. In November 2025, the Company extended the Share Repurchase Program for an additional year to February 28, 2027, if not terminated or extended prior to that date. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company repurchased 10.9 million common shares at an average price per share of $22.82 for a total of $247.7 million. As of December 31, 2025, $52.3 million remained available for repurchases of common shares under the Company's Share Repurchase Program. Subsequent to December 31, 2025, the Company repurchased 2.2 million common shares at an average price per share of $23.92 for a total of $52.3 million. Additionally, in February 2026, our Board of Trustees authorized a $300.0 million increase to the size of the Share Repurchase Program, authorizing share repurchases up to a maximum of $600.0 million of our common shares.

*<u>Long-Term Liquidity Needs</u>*

Our long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for any new development projects, redevelopment of existing properties, non-recurring capital expenditures, property acquisitions, payment of indebtedness at maturity, and obligations under ground leases.

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

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i7ef8bc9526c04d628d2c9703883b14b1_10)</u>

*Potential Debt Repurchases.* We may, from time to time, depending on market conditions and prices, contractual restrictions, our financial liquidity, and other factors, seek to repurchase our senior unsecured notes maturing at various dates through March 2034 in open market transactions, by tender offer, or otherwise, as market conditions warrant.

*Commitments under Ground Leases.* We are obligated under 11 ground leases for approximately 98 acres of land as of December 31, 2025. Most of these ground leases require fixed annual rent payments, and the expiration dates of the remaining initial terms range from 2028 to 2092. Assuming we exercise all available options to extend the terms of our ground leases, they will expire between 2045 and 2115.

*<u>Capital Expenditures on Consolidated Properties</u>*

The following table summarizes cash capital expenditures for our development and redevelopment projects and other capital expenditures for the year ended December 31, 2025 *(in thousands)*:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| | **Year Ended**<br>**December 31, 2025** |
| Active development and redevelopment projects | $25712 |
| Recurring operating capital expenditures (primarily tenant improvements) and other | 127536 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Total | $153248 |

---

We capitalize certain indirect costs, such as interest, payroll, and other general and administrative costs related to these development activities. If we had experienced a 10% reduction in development and redevelopment activities without a corresponding decrease in indirect project costs, we would have recorded an additional expense of $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2025.

*Impact of Changes in Credit Ratings on Our Liquidity*

We have received investment-grade corporate credit ratings from three nationally recognized credit rating agencies. These ratings did not change in 2025.

In the future, these ratings could change based upon, among other things, the impact that prevailing economic conditions may have on our results of operations and financial condition. Credit rating reductions by one or more rating agencies could also adversely affect our access to funding sources, the cost and other terms of obtaining funding, as well as our overall financial condition, operating results and cash flow.

*Cash Flows*

As of December 31, 2025, we had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $478.4 million. We may be subject to concentrations of credit risk with regard to our cash and cash equivalents. We place our cash and short-term investments with highly rated financial institutions. While we attempt to limit our exposure at any point, occasionally such cash and investments may temporarily exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation ("SIPC") insurance limits. We also maintain certain compensating balances in several financial institutions in support of borrowings from those institutions. Such compensating balances were not material to the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Cash provided by operating activities was $429.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 and $419.0 million for the same period of 2024. The cash flows were positively impacted by an increase in net operating income and changes to other working capital accounts.

Cash provided by investing activities was $613.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to cash used in investing activities of $499.0 million for the same period of 2024. Highlights of significant cash sources and uses in investing activities are as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Capital expenditures increased by $11.5 million primarily related to the timing of capital projects;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We contributed $1.6 million to an unconsolidated joint venture in 2025 primarily related to our share of debt service on the construction loan at The Corner – IN, of which we own a 50% interest. During 2024, we contributed a total of $13.2 million to unconsolidated joint ventures primarily related to our share of the repayment of the construction loan associated with the development of the Embassy Suites at the University of Notre Dame; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We received distributions totaling $4.2 million from unconsolidated joint ventures in 2025. In 2024, we received a $1.6 million distribution upon the joint venture's disposition of Glendale Center Apartments, of which we own an 11.5% interest, to a third party.

Cash used in financing activities was $698.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to cash provided by financing activities of $172.1 million for the same period of 2024. Highlights of significant cash sources and uses in financing activities are as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In 2025, we borrowed $518.0 million on the Revolving Facility and received $298.5 million from the Notes Due 2032, while in 2024, we borrowed $40.0 million on the Revolving Facility and received total proceeds of $693.0 million from the Notes Due 2034 and the Notes Due 2031;

Management's discussion of the cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2023, with a comparison to the year ended December 31, 2024, was included in Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

**Other Matters**

*Financial Instruments*

We are exposed to capital market risk, such as changes in interest rates. To reduce the volatility related to interest rate risk, we may enter into interest rate hedging arrangements from time to time. We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

*Obligations in Connection with Projects Under Construction*

We are obligated under various completion guarantees with certain lenders and lease agreements with tenants to complete all or portions of a development project and tenant-specific space that are currently under construction. We believe we currently have sufficient financing in place to fund these projects and expect to do so primarily through free cash flow or borrowings on the Revolving Facility.

We provide repayment and completion guarantees on loans totaling $66.2 million associated with the development of The Corner mixed-use project in the Indianapolis MSA. As of December 31, 2025, the outstanding balance of the loans was $69.1 million, of which our share was $34.5 million.

Our share of estimated future costs for under-construction and future developments and redevelopments is further discussed beginning on page 48 in the "Short-Term Liquidity Needs" and "Long-Term Liquidity Needs" sections.

(1)Fixed rate debt includes the portion of variable rate debt that has been hedged by interest rate swaps. As of December 31, 2025, $150.0 million in variable rate debt is hedged to a fixed rate through July 17, 2026.

Mortgage indebtedness is collateralized by certain real estate properties and leases and is generally repaid in monthly installments of principal and interest with maturities over various terms through 2033.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i7ef8bc9526c04d628d2c9703883b14b1_10)</u>

The interest rate on our variable rate mortgage is based on SOFR plus 215 basis points as of December 31, 2025. The one-month SOFR interest rate was 3.69% as of December 31, 2025. Fixed interest rates on our mortgages payable range from 3.75% to 5.73%.

**Critical Accounting Estimates**

Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies," to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. As disclosed in Note 2, the preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We believe the following discussion addresses our most critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to the compilation of our financial condition and results of operations and, in some cases, require management's most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments.

*Revenue Recognition*

As a lessor of real estate assets, the Company retains substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership and accounts for its leases as operating leases.

Contractual minimum base rent, percentage rent, and expense reimbursements from tenants for common area maintenance costs, insurance, and real estate taxes are our principal sources of revenue. Base minimum rents are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases. Certain lease agreements contain provisions that provide for additional rents based on a tenant's sales volume (contingent overage rent). Overage rent is recognized when tenants achieve the specified sales targets as defined in their lease agreements. If we determine that collectibility is probable, we recognize income from rentals based on the methodology described above. If we determine that collectibility is not probable, we recognize income only to the extent that cash has been received from the tenant. We have accounts receivable due from tenants and are subject to the risk of tenant defaults and bankruptcies, which may affect the collection of outstanding receivables. These receivables are reduced for credit loss, which is recognized as a reduction to rental income. We regularly evaluate the collectibility of these lease-related receivables by analyzing past-due account balances and consider such factors as the credit quality of the tenant, historical write-off experience, tenant creditworthiness, and current economic trends when evaluating the collectibility of rental income. Although we estimate uncollectible receivables and provide for them through charges against income, actual experience may differ from those estimates.

We recognize the sale of real estate when control transfers to the buyer. As part of our ongoing business strategy, we will, from time to time, sell properties, land parcels, and outlots, some of which are ground-leased to tenants.

*Valuation of Investment Properties*

Management reviews our operating and development projects, land parcels, and intangible assets for impairment on a property-by-property basis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. This review for possible impairment requires certain assumptions, estimates, and significant judgment. Examples of situations considered to be impairment indicators for both operating properties and development projects include, but are not limited to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a substantial decline in or continued low occupancy rate or cash flow;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• expected significant declines in occupancy in the near future;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• continued difficulty in leasing space;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a significant concentration of financially troubled tenants;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a reduction in the anticipated holding period;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a cost accumulation or delay in the project completion date significantly above and beyond the original development or redevelopment estimate;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a significant decrease in the market price not in line with general market trends; and

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i7ef8bc9526c04d628d2c9703883b14b1_10)</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any other quantitative or qualitative events or factors deemed significant by the Company's management or Board of Trustees.

Impairment losses for investment properties and intangible assets are measured when the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by the investment properties during the expected holding period are less than their carrying amounts. The evaluation of impairment is subject to certain management assumptions, including projected net operating income, anticipated holding period, expected capital expenditures, and the capitalization rate used to estimate the property's residual value. Impairment losses are recorded as the excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair value of the asset. Our impairment review for land and development properties assumes we have the intent and ability to complete the developments or projected uses for the land parcels. If we determine those plans will not be completed or our assumptions with respect to operating assets are not realized, an impairment loss may be appropriate.

Depreciation may be accelerated for a redevelopment project, including partial demolition of existing structures, after the asset is assessed for impairment.

The Company classifies an operating property as held for sale only when the property is available for immediate sale in its present condition and for which management believes it is probable that a sale of the property will be completed within one year, among other factors. An operating property classified as held for sale is carried at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Depreciation and amortization are suspended during the held-for-sale period.

*Acquisition of Investment Properties*

Real estate assets are recognized on our consolidated balance sheets at historical cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Upon acquisition of real estate operating properties, we estimate the fair value of acquired identifiable tangible assets (consisting of land, buildings and improvements) and identified intangible assets and liabilities (consisting of above-market and below-market leases and in-place leases), assumed debt, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the date of acquisition based upon an evaluation of information and estimates available at the acquisition date. Based on these estimates, we record the estimated fair value to the applicable assets and liabilities. In making estimates of fair value, several sources are used, including information obtained as a result of pre-acquisition due diligence, marketing, and leasing activities. The estimates of fair value were determined to have primarily relied upon Level 2 and Level 3 inputs, as defined below.

Fair value is determined for tangible assets and intangible assets and liabilities, including:

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

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the value of having a lease in place at the acquisition date. We use independent and internal sources for our estimates to determine the respective in-place lease values. Our estimates of value use methods similar to those used by independent appraisers. Factors we consider in our analysis include an estimate of costs to execute similar leases, including tenant improvements, leasing commissions, and foregone costs related to the reimbursement of property operating expenses, and fair market rent received during the estimated lease-up period as if the space were vacant. The value of in-place leases is amortized to depreciation and amortization expense over the remaining initial terms of the respective leases; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the fair value of any assumed financing that is determined to have above- or below-market terms. We use third-party and independent sources for our estimates to determine the respective fair value of each mortgage and other indebtedness, including related derivative instruments, assumed. The fair market value of each is amortized to interest expense over the remaining initial terms of the respective instruments.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i7ef8bc9526c04d628d2c9703883b14b1_10)</u>

We also consider whether there is any value to in-place leases that have a related customer relationship intangible value. Characteristics we consider in determining these values include the nature and extent of existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenant's credit quality, and expectations of lease renewals, among other factors. To date, we have not developed a tenant relationship that we consider to have a current intangible value.

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

Our future earnings, cash flows, and fair values relevant to financial instruments depend upon prevailing interest rates. We are exposed to interest rate changes primarily through our Revolving Facility, unsecured term loans, and other property-specific variable-rate mortgages. Our objectives with respect to interest rate risk are to balance the potential impact of interest rate changes on our operations and cash flows against our goal of lowering our overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, we may borrow at fixed or variable rates and enter into derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps, hedges, or treasury locks to mitigate our interest rate risk. As a matter of policy, we do not use financial instruments for trading or speculative transactions.

As of December 31, 2025, we had $3.0 billion of outstanding consolidated indebtedness (inclusive of net unamortized debt discounts, premiums and issuance costs of $2.5 million). In addition, we were party to three consolidated interest rate hedge agreements totaling $150.0 million maturing in July 2026. Reflecting the effects of these hedge agreements, our fixed and variable rate debt would have been $2.5 billion (84%) and $497.2 million (16%), respectively, of our total consolidated indebtedness as of December 31, 2025.

As of December 31, 2025, we had $400.0 million of fixed-rate debt scheduled to mature in 2026. A 100-basis-point change in interest rates on this debt as of December 31, 2025 would change our annual cash flow by $4.0 million. A 100-basis-point change in interest rates on our unhedged variable rate debt as of December 31, 2025 would change our annual cash flow by $5.0 million. Based upon the terms of our variable rate debt, we are most vulnerable to a change in short-term SOFR interest rates.

*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 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 of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included 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.

**REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM**

To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of Kite Realty Group Trust:

*Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements*

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Kite Realty Group Trust and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes and financial statement schedule III – Consolidated Real Estate and Accumulated Depreciation (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have 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, 2025, 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 17, 2026 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

*Basis for Opinion*

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

*Evaluation of investment properties for potential impairment*

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, investment properties, at cost was $7,003,479 thousand as of December 31, 2025. The Company's investment properties are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. This review for potential impairment triggering events requires certain assumptions, estimates, and significant judgment, including about the anticipated holding period for an investment property.

We identified the evaluation of certain investment properties for potential impairment as a critical audit matter. Subjective and challenging auditor judgment was required to evaluate the Company's intent and ability to hold investment properties for particular periods of time. A shortening of the anticipated holding period could indicate a potential impairment.

------

The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of a certain internal control related to the Company's process to evaluate potential impairment triggering events, including a control related to the evaluation of the holding period. We compared the holding periods assumed in the Company's analysis to the Company's historical holding periods for similar properties. We inquired of Company management and inspected documents, such as meeting minutes of the board of trustees and its sub-committees, and management's capital allocation committee to evaluate the Company's intent and ability to hold investment properties for particular periods of time. We read external communications with investors and analysts in order to identify information regarding potential sales of the Company's investment properties. We obtained management representations regarding potential disposal plans, if any.

*Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements*

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Kite Realty Group, L.P. and subsidiaries (the Partnership) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), partners' equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes and financial statement schedule III – Consolidated Real Estate and Accumulated Depreciation (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Partnership as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

**KITE REALTY GROUP TRUST AND KITE REALTY GROUP, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES**

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION**

Kite Realty Group Trust (the "Parent Company") is a publicly held REIT that, through its majority-owned subsidiary, Kite Realty Group, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"), owns interests in various operating subsidiaries and joint ventures engaged in the ownership, operation, acquisition, development, and redevelopment of high-quality, open-air, grocery-anchored shopping centers and vibrant mixed-use assets that are primarily located in high-growth Sun Belt markets and select strategic gateway markets in the United States. The terms "Company," "we," "us," and "our" refer to the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, collectively, and those entities owned or controlled by the Parent Company and/or the Operating Partnership.

The Operating Partnership was formed on August 16, 2004, when the Parent Company contributed properties and the net proceeds from an initial public offering ("IPO") of shares of its common stock to the Operating Partnership. The Parent Company was organized in Maryland in 2004 to succeed in the acquisition, development, construction and real estate businesses of its predecessor. We believe the Company qualifies as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") under sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

The Parent Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and, as of December 31, 2025, owned approximately 97.7% of the common partnership interests in the Operating Partnership (the "General Partner Units"). The remaining 2.3% of the common partnership interests (the "Limited Partner Units" and, together with the General Partner Units, the "Common Units") were owned by the limited partners. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Parent Company has full, exclusive and complete responsibility and discretion in the day-to-day management and control of the Operating Partnership. The Parent Company and the Operating Partnership operate as one enterprise. The management of the Parent Company consists of the same members as the management of the Operating Partnership. As the sole general partner with control of the Operating Partnership, the Parent Company consolidates the Operating Partnership for financial reporting purposes, and the Parent Company does not have any significant assets other than its investment in the Operating Partnership.

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

In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 205, *Presentation of Financial Statements*, certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Specifically, all gains on sales of land parcels have been presented in a single line item, "Net gains from outlot sales," rather than the previous presentation where it was included as a component of "Other property-related revenue" in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

Unless otherwise noted, all dollar amounts are stated in thousands, except share, per share, and per square foot data. Number of properties and square feet are unaudited.

**NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

*Investment Properties*

*<u>Capitalization and Depreciation</u>*

Investment properties are recorded at cost and include costs of land acquisition, development, predevelopment, construction, certain allocated overhead, tenant allowances and improvements, and interest and real estate taxes incurred during construction. Significant renovations and improvements are capitalized when they extend the useful life, increase capacity, or improve the efficiency of the asset. If a tenant vacates a space prior to the lease expiration, terminates its lease, or otherwise notifies the Company of its intent to do so, any related unamortized tenant allowances are expensed over the shortened lease period. Ordinary repairs and maintenance that do not extend the useful lives of the respective assets are expensed as incurred and included within "Property operating" expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

Predevelopment costs are incurred prior to vertical construction and for certain land held for development during the due diligence phase and include contract deposits, legal and engineering, the cost of internal resources, and other professional fees related to evaluating the feasibility of developing or redeveloping a shopping center or other project. These predevelopment costs are capitalized and included within "Investment properties, at cost" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. If we determine that the completion of a development project is no longer probable, all previously incurred predevelopment costs are immediately expensed. Land is transferred to construction in progress once construction commences on the related project.

We also capitalize costs such as land acquisition, building construction, interest, real estate taxes, and the cost of personnel directly involved in the development of our properties. As a portion of a development project becomes operational, we begin depreciating a pro rata amount of the related costs.

Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method. Buildings and improvements are depreciated over estimated original useful lives ranging from 10 to 35 years. Tenant improvements and allowances are depreciated over the term of the related lease. Equipment and fixtures are depreciated over five to 10 years. Depreciation may be accelerated for a redevelopment project, including partial demolition of an existing structure, after the asset is assessed for impairment.

*<u>Valuation of Investment Properties</u>*

Management reviews our operating and development projects, land parcels, and intangible assets for impairment on a property-by-property basis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. This review for possible impairment requires certain assumptions, estimates, and significant judgment. Examples of situations considered to be impairment indicators for both operating properties and development projects include, but are not limited to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a substantial decline in or continued low occupancy rate or cash flow;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• expected significant declines in occupancy in the near future;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• continued difficulty in leasing space;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a significant concentration of financially troubled tenants;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a reduction in the anticipated holding period;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a cost accumulation or delay in the project completion date significantly above and beyond the original development or redevelopment estimate;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a significant decrease in the market price not in line with general market trends; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any other quantitative or qualitative events or factors deemed significant by the Company's management or Board of Trustees.

Impairment losses for investment properties and intangible assets are measured when the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by the investment properties during the expected holding period are less than their carrying amounts. The evaluation of impairment is subject to certain management assumptions, including projected net operating income, anticipated holding period, expected capital expenditures, and the capitalization rate used to estimate the property's residual value. Impairment losses are recorded as the excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair value of the asset. Our impairment review for land and development properties assumes we have the intent and ability to complete the developments or projected uses for the land parcels. If we determine those plans will not be completed or our assumptions with respect to operating assets are not realized, an impairment loss may be appropriate.

*<u>Investment Properties Held for Sale</u>*

The Company classifies an operating property as held for sale only when the property is available for immediate sale in its present condition and for which management believes it is probable that a sale of the property will be completed within one year, among other factors. An operating property classified as held for sale is carried at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Depreciation and amortization are suspended during the held-for-sale period. Two properties are classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2025 and one property was classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2024.

*Acquisition of Investment Properties*

Real estate assets are recognized on our consolidated balance sheets at historical cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Upon acquisition of real estate operating properties, we estimate the fair value of acquired identifiable tangible assets (consisting of land, buildings and improvements) and identified intangible assets and liabilities (consisting of above-

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

market and below-market leases and in-place leases), assumed debt, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the date of acquisition based upon an evaluation of information and estimates available at the acquisition date. Based on these estimates, we record the estimated fair value to the applicable assets and liabilities. In making estimates of fair value, several sources are used, including information obtained as a result of pre-acquisition due diligence, marketing, and leasing activities. The estimates of fair value were determined to have primarily relied upon Level 2 and Level 3 inputs, as defined below.

Fair value is determined for tangible assets and intangible assets and liabilities, including:

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

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the value of having a lease in place at the acquisition date. We use independent and internal sources for our estimates to determine the respective in-place lease values. Our estimates of value use methods similar to those used by independent appraisers. Factors we consider in our analysis include an estimate of costs to execute similar leases, including tenant improvements, leasing commissions, and foregone costs related to the reimbursement of property operating expenses, and fair market rent received during the estimated lease-up period as if the space were vacant. The value of in-place leases is amortized to depreciation and amortization expense over the remaining initial terms of the respective leases; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the fair value of any assumed financing that is determined to have above- or below-market terms. We use third-party and independent sources for our estimates to determine the respective fair value of each mortgage and other indebtedness, including related derivative instruments, assumed. The fair market value of each is amortized to interest expense over the remaining initial terms of the respective instruments.

We also consider whether there is any value to in-place leases that have a related customer relationship intangible value. Characteristics we consider in determining these values include the nature and extent of existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenant's credit quality, and expectations of lease renewals, among other factors. To date, we have not developed a tenant relationship that we consider to have a current intangible value.

*Consolidation and Investments in Joint Ventures*

The accompanying financial statements are presented on a consolidated basis and include all accounts of the Parent Company, the Operating Partnership, the taxable REIT subsidiaries ("TRSs") of the Operating Partnership, subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership that are controlled, and any variable interest entities ("VIEs") in which the Operating Partnership is the primary beneficiary. In general, a VIE is a corporation, partnership, trust, or any other legal structure used for business purposes that either (a) has equity investors that do not provide sufficient financial resources for the entity to support its activities, (b) does not have equity investors with voting rights, or (c) has equity investors whose votes are disproportionate from their economics, and substantially all of the activities are conducted on behalf of the investor with disproportionately fewer voting rights.

The Operating Partnership accounts for properties that are owned by joint ventures in accordance with the consolidation guidance by evaluating each joint venture and determining first whether to follow the VIE or the voting interest entity ("VOE") model. Once the appropriate consolidation model is identified, the Operating Partnership then evaluates whether it should consolidate the joint venture. Under the VIE model, the Operating Partnership consolidates an entity when it has (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Under the VOE model, the

**KITE REALTY GROUP TRUST AND KITE REALTY GROUP, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES**

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

Operating Partnership consolidates an entity when (i) it controls the entity through ownership of a majority voting interest if the entity is not a limited partnership or (ii) it controls the entity through its ability to remove the other partners or owners in the entity, at its discretion, when the entity is a limited partnership.

In determining whether to consolidate a VIE with the Operating Partnership, we consider all relationships between the Operating Partnership and the applicable VIE, including development and management agreements and other contractual arrangements, in determining whether we have the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly affect the VIE's performance. As of December 31, 2025, we owned investments in two consolidated joint ventures that were VIEs in which the partners did not have substantive participating rights, and we were the primary beneficiary. As of December 31, 2025, these consolidated VIEs had mortgage debt totaling $107.3 million, which was secured by assets of the VIEs totaling $221.6 million. The Operating Partnership guarantees the mortgage debt of these VIEs.

The Operating Partnership is considered a VIE, as the limited partners do not hold kick-out rights or substantive participating rights. The Parent Company consolidates the Operating Partnership as it is the primary beneficiary in accordance with the VIE model. We use the nature-of-distribution approach for purposes of determining whether distributions should be classified as either a return on investment, which would be included in operating activities, or a return of investment, which would be included in investing activities in the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows. Under this approach, we assess the nature of all distributions to determine the appropriate classification.

*Cash and Cash Equivalents*

We consider all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of 90 days or less to be cash and cash equivalents. From time to time, such investments may temporarily be held in accounts that exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation ("SIPC") insurance limits. The Company periodically assesses the credit risk associated with these financial institutions and believes the risk of loss is minimal.

The following table summarizes our total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 *(in thousands)*:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Year Ended December 31,** | **Year Ended December 31,** | **Year Ended December 31,** |
| | **2025** | **2024** | **2023** |
| Cash and cash equivalents | $36761 | $128056 | $36413 |
| Restricted cash and escrow deposits | 441605 | 5271 | 5017 |
| Restricted cash associated with investment property held for sale | 25 | 225 |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash | $478391 | $133552 | $41430 |

---

*Restricted Cash and Escrow Deposits*

Restricted cash and escrow deposits consist of cash held for real estate taxes, property maintenance, insurance, and other requirements at specific properties as required by lending institutions, certain municipalities, or other agreements, as well as funds held in escrow for potential Code Section 1031 tax-deferred exchange transactions ("1031 Exchanges").

*Short-Term Deposits*

In January 2024, the Company invested $265.0 million in short-term deposits at Goldman Sachs Bank USA ("Goldman Sachs") and KeyBank National Association ("KeyBank"). These short-term deposits earned interest at a weighted average interest rate of 5.34% with a maturity date of July 2024. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company earned $6.3 million of interest income on the January 2024 deposits, which is recorded within "Other income, net" in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

In August 2024, the Company invested $350.0 million in short-term deposits at Goldman Sachs and KeyBank. These short-term deposits earned interest at a weighted average interest rate of 5.05% with a maturity date of February 2025. During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company earned $2.5 million and $6.6 million, respectively, of interest income on the August 2024 deposits, which is recorded within "Other income, net" in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

**KITE REALTY GROUP TRUST AND KITE REALTY GROUP, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES**

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

*Fair Value Measurements*

We follow the framework established under ASC 820, *Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,* for measuring the fair value of non-financial assets and liabilities that are not required or permitted to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis but only in certain circumstances, such as a business combination or upon determination of an impairment.

Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets are categorized based on the inputs to the valuation techniques as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 1 fair value inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments to which we have access.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 2 fair value inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for similar instruments, either directly or indirectly, and appropriately consider counterparty creditworthiness in the valuation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 3 fair value inputs reflect our best estimate of inputs and assumptions market participants would use in pricing an instrument at the measurement date. The inputs are unobservable in the market and significant to the valuation estimate.

In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based upon inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest-level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

Note 3, "Acquisitions," to the accompanying consolidated financial statements includes a discussion of the fair values recorded for wholly owned asset acquisitions. Level 3 inputs to these transactions include our estimations of net rental rates of retail anchors and small shop spaces, capitalization rates, and disposal values. Note 4, "Dispositions and Impairment Charges," to the accompanying consolidated financial statements includes a discussion of the fair values recorded when we recognized impairment charges during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023. Level 2 inputs to these transactions include the expected sales price from an executed sales contract, and Level 3 inputs consist of our estimation of capitalization rates. Note 9, "Mortgage and Other Indebtedness," to the accompanying consolidated financial statements includes a discussion of the estimated fair value of fixed- and variable-rate debt, which are estimated using Level 2 and Level 3 inputs. As discussed in Note 10, "Derivative Instruments, Hedging Activities and Other Comprehensive Income," to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, we have determined that derivative valuations are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

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

*Derivative Financial Instruments*

The Company accounts for its derivative financial instruments at fair value calculated in accordance with ASC 820, *Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures*. Gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair value of the derivatives are accounted for depending on their use and whether they qualify for hedge accounting. We use derivative instruments such as interest rate swaps or interest rate locks to mitigate interest rate risk on the related financial instruments.

Changes in the fair value of derivatives that qualify as cash flow hedges are recorded within "Accumulated other comprehensive income" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and amortized over the underlying term of the hedged transaction, while any ineffective portion of a derivative's change in fair value is recognized immediately in earnings. For derivative contracts designated as fair value hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative is included within "Mortgage and other indebtedness, net" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. We include the gain or loss on the hedged item in the same account as the offsetting gain or loss on the related derivative contract. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, all of our derivative financial instruments qualify for hedge accounting.

*Revenue Recognition*

As a lessor of real estate assets, the Company retains substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership and accounts for its leases as operating leases.

**KITE REALTY GROUP TRUST AND KITE REALTY GROUP, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES**

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

Contractual minimum base rent, percentage rent, and expense reimbursements from tenants for common area maintenance expenses, insurance, and real estate taxes are our principal sources of revenue. Base minimum rents are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases. Certain lease agreements contain provisions that provide for additional rents based upon a tenant's sales volume (contingent overage rent). Overage rent is recognized when tenants achieve the specified sales targets as defined in their lease agreements and is included within "Rental income" in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). If we determine that collectibility is probable, we recognize income from rentals based on the methodology described above. If we determine that collectibility is not probable, we recognize income only to the extent that cash has been received from the tenant. We have accounts receivable due from tenants and are subject to the risk of tenant defaults and bankruptcies, which may affect the collection of outstanding receivables. These receivables are reduced for credit loss, which is recognized as a reduction to rental income. We regularly evaluate the collectibility of lease-related receivables by analyzing past-due account balances and consider such factors as the credit quality of the tenant, historical write-off experience, tenant creditworthiness, and current economic trends when evaluating the collectibility of rental income. Although we estimate uncollectible receivables and provide for them through charges against income, actual experience may differ from those estimates.

We recognize the sale of real estate when control transfers to the buyer. As part of our ongoing business strategy, we will, from time to time, sell properties, land parcels, and outlots, some of which are ground-leased to tenants. Net gains realized on outlot sales were $6.1 million, $4.4 million, and $1.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and are presented in "Net gains from outlot sales" in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

*Tenant and Other Receivables and Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts*

Tenant receivables consist primarily of billed minimum rent, accrued and billed tenant reimbursements, and accrued straight-line rent. The Company generally does not require specific collateral from its tenants other than corporate or personal guarantees. Other receivables consist primarily of amounts due from municipalities and tenants for non-rental revenue-related activities.

An allowance for uncollectible accounts, including future credit losses of the accrued straight-line rent receivables, is maintained for estimated losses resulting from the inability of certain tenants to meet contractual obligations under their lease agreements. Accounts are written off when, in the opinion of management, the balance is deemed uncollectible. The provision for revenues deemed uncollectible represented 0.8%, 0.6%, and 0.3% of total revenues in each of the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

*Concentration of Credit Risk*

We may be subject to concentrations of credit risk with regard to our cash and cash equivalents. We place cash and temporary cash investments with high-credit-quality financial institutions. From time to time, such cash and investments may temporarily be in excess of insurance limits. In addition, our leases with tenants potentially subject us to a concentration of credit risk related to our accounts receivable and revenue.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, the percentage of the Company's revenue recognized from tenants leasing space in the states where the majority of our portfolio is concentrated, which includes Texas, Florida, Virginia, New York, and Indiana, was as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Texas | 26.1% |
| Florida | 11.4% |
| Virginia | 7.5% |
| New York | 7.1% |
| Indiana | 6.7% |

*Income Taxes and REIT Compliance*

*<u>Parent Company</u>*

The Parent Company has been organized and operated, and it intends to continue to operate, in a manner that will enable it to maintain its qualification as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result, it generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the earnings that it distributes to the extent it distributes its "REIT taxable income" (determined before the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains) to shareholders of the Parent Company and meets certain other requirements on a recurring basis. To the extent that it satisfies this distribution requirement but distributes less than 100% of its taxable income, it will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on its undistributed REIT taxable income at regular corporate income tax rates. REITs are subject to a number of organizational and operational requirements. If the Parent Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate income tax rates for a period of four years following the year in which qualification is lost. Additionally, we may also be subject to certain taxes enacted by the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 that are applicable to non-REIT corporations, including the non-deductible 1% excise tax on certain stock repurchases. We may also be subject to certain U.S. federal, state, and local taxes on our income and property and to U.S. federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed taxable income even if the Parent Company does qualify as a REIT. The Operating Partnership intends to continue to make distributions to the Parent Company in amounts sufficient to assist the Parent Company in adhering to REIT requirements and maintaining its REIT status.

We have elected to treat Kite Realty Holdings, LLC and IWR Protective Corporation as TRSs of the Operating Partnership, and we may elect to treat other subsidiaries as TRSs in the future. This election enables us to receive income and provide services that would otherwise be impermissible for a REIT. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are established for temporary differences between the financial reporting bases and the tax bases of assets and liabilities at the tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not to be sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company records interest related to unrecognized tax benefits within "Interest expense" and penalties within "General, administrative and other" expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

Our tax return for the year ended December 31, 2025 has not been filed as of the filing date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership. The taxable information presented for our dividends paid in 2025 is based upon management's estimate. Consequently, the taxable nature of dividends is subject to change. The following table summarizes the tax characterization of the dividends paid by the Parent Company for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023:

*<u>Operating Partnership</u>*

The allocated share of income and loss, other than the operations of our TRSs, is included in the income tax returns of the Operating Partnership's partners. Accordingly, the only U.S. federal income taxes included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements are in connection with the TRSs.

*Noncontrolling Interests – Joint Venture*

Prior to the merger with RPAI in October 2021, RPAI entered into a joint venture related to the development, ownership, and operation of the multifamily rental portion of the expansion project at One Loudoun Downtown – Pads G & H. The Company owns 90% of the joint venture.

Under terms defined in the joint venture agreement, after construction completion and stabilization of the development project (as defined in the joint venture agreement), the Company has the ability to call, and the joint venture partner has the ability to put to the Company, subject to certain conditions, the joint venture partner's interest in the joint venture at fair value. As of December 31, 2025, the conditions for exercising the put and call options have been met, but neither the Company nor the joint venture partner has exercised their respective options.

The joint venture is considered a VIE primarily because the Company's joint venture partner does not have substantive kick-out rights or substantive participating rights. The Company is considered the primary beneficiary, as it has a controlling financial interest in the joint venture. As such, the Company has consolidated this joint venture and presented the joint venture partner's interests as noncontrolling interests.

*Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests – Limited Partners*

Limited Partner Units are redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership. We classify redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership outside of permanent equity in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets because we may be required to pay cash to holders of Limited Partner Units upon redemption of their interests in the Operating Partnership or deliver registered shares upon their conversion. The carrying amount of the redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership is reflected at the greater of historical book value or redemption value with a corresponding adjustment to additional paid-in capital. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the redemption value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership exceeded the historical book value, and the balances were accordingly adjusted to redemption value.

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

We allocate net operating results of the Operating Partnership after noncontrolling interests in the consolidated properties based on the partners' respective weighted average ownership interests. We adjust the redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership at the end of each reporting period to reflect their interests in the Operating Partnership or redemption value. This adjustment is reflected in our shareholders' and Parent Company's equity. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the weighted average interests of the Parent Company and the limited partners in the Operating Partnership were as follows:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Year Ended December 31,** | **Year Ended December 31,** | **Year Ended December 31,** |
| | **2025** | **2024** | **2023** |
| Parent Company's weighted average interest in the Operating Partnership | 97.9% | 98.3% | 98.6% |
| Limited partners' weighted average interests in the Operating Partnership | 2.1% | 1.7% | 1.4% |

---

As of December 31, 2025, the Parent Company's interest and the limited partners' redeemable noncontrolling ownership interests in the Operating Partnership were 97.7% and 2.3%, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, the Parent Company's interest and the limited partners' redeemable noncontrolling ownership interests in the Operating Partnership were 98.1% and 1.9%, respectively.

Concurrent with the Parent Company's IPO and related formation transactions, certain individuals received Limited Partner Units of the Operating Partnership in exchange for their interests in certain properties. The limited partners have the right to redeem Limited Partner Units for cash or, at the Parent Company's election, common shares of the Parent Company in an amount equal to the market value of an equivalent number of common shares of the Parent Company at the time of redemption. Such common shares must be registered, which is not fully in the Parent Company's control. Therefore, the limited partners' interest is not reflected within permanent equity. The Parent Company also has the right to redeem the Limited Partner Units directly from the limited partner in exchange for either cash in the amount specified above or a number of its common shares equal to the number of Limited Partner Units being redeemed.

There were 4,849,588 and 4,192,597 Limited Partner Units outstanding as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase in Limited Partner Units outstanding from December 31, 2024 is due to non-cash compensation awards granted to our executive officers in the form of Limited Partner Units.

*Effects of Accounting Pronouncements*

In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2024-03, *Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses*. This guidance requires public entities to disclose, in a tabular format, the amounts of certain natural expenses included within relevant expense captions presented on the face of the income statement and provide additional disclosures about selling expenses. The new disclosure requirements are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted, and may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Any other recently issued accounting standards or pronouncements have been excluded, as they are either not relevant to the Company or they are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

(1)Legacy West also contains 443,553 square feet of office space and 782 multifamily units.

The above acquisitions were funded using a combination of available cash on hand, proceeds from dispositions, and borrowings on the Company's unsecured revolving line of credit. The fair values of the real estate and other assets acquired were primarily determined using the income approach, which required us to make assumptions about market leasing rates, tenant-related costs, discount rates, and disposal rates. The estimates of fair value primarily relied upon Level 2 and Level 3 inputs, as previously defined.

In March 2025, the Company entered into a joint venture (the "Legacy West Joint Venture"), and on April 28, 2025, the joint venture acquired Legacy West for a gross purchase price of $785.0 million, including the assumption of $304.0 million of debt with an interest rate of 3.80%. The Company owns 52% of the equity in the Legacy West Joint Venture, which is being accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The Company's share of the purchase price is $408.2 million, and the acquisition was initially funded with borrowings of $255.0 million on the Company's unsecured revolving line of credit. See Note 5 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for details of the Legacy West Joint Venture.

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

During the three months ended December 31, 2025, the Company sold a parcel and the related building to a tenant at Northpointe Plaza in the Spokane MSA for a sales price of $4.0 million and recorded a net gain of $2.6 million on the sale.

During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company sold approximately one acre of land at Hamilton Crossing Centre, a redevelopment property in the Indianapolis MSA, for a sales price of $0.8 million and recorded a net loss of $0.1 million on the sale. In addition, the Company sold a land parcel at Lakewood Towne Center in the Seattle MSA for a sales price of $13.7 million and recorded a net gain of $6.1 million, which is recorded within "Net gains from outlot sales" in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company contributed three previously wholly owned properties, Denton Crossing, Parkway Towne Crossing, and The Landing at Tradition, valued at $233.0 million in the aggregate to a newly formed joint venture (the "Seed Asset Joint Venture") (see Note 5 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for further details), and received $112.1 million in gross proceeds for the 48% interest in the joint venture acquired by the joint venture partner.

The Company calculated the gain on sale from the Seed Asset Joint Venture in accordance with ASC 606, *Revenue from Contracts with Customers*, and ASC 610-20, *Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets*, which requires full gain recognition upon deconsolidation of a nonfinancial asset. The gain on sale was calculated as the fair value of each of the three properties (based upon the sales price for the 48% interest acquired by the joint venture partner) less the aggregate carrying value. The Company's retained 52% equity method investment was recorded at fair value as of the transaction date, which equaled $120.9 million.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company received net proceeds of $6.4 million and recognized a gain of $2.5 million in connection with the sale of the first phase of a land parcel and the rights to develop 24 residential units at the One Loudoun Expansion.

There were no discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 as none of the dispositions or planned dispositions represented a strategic shift that has had, or will have, a material effect on our operations or financial results.

*Valuation of Investment Properties*

As of December 31, 2025, in connection with the preparation and review of the fourth quarter 2025 financial statements and in conjunction with classifying Coram Plaza as held for sale, we evaluated Coram Plaza for impairment and recorded a $12.5 million impairment charge based upon the terms and conditions of an executed contract. As of December 31, 2025, the carrying value of Coram Plaza was $24.9 million and its estimated fair value was $12.5 million, less estimated selling costs of $0.1 million; therefore, we recorded a $12.5 million impairment charge on Coram Plaza during the three months ended December 31, 2025.

As of September 30, 2025, in connection with the preparation and review of the third quarter 2025 financial statements, we evaluated the Carillon medical office building, which is included in our office portfolio, and the retail portion of Carillon for impairment and recorded impairment charges totaling $22.3 million based upon the terms and conditions of purchase offers received. A decrease in market price along with a shortening of the expected future hold period are considered impairment indicators; therefore, we assessed the recoverability of the carrying value of long-lived assets of Carillon using the held and used approach, noting the carrying value was not recoverable. As of September 30, 2025, the carrying value of the Carillon medical office building was $35.7 million and its estimated fair value was $24.0 million; therefore, we recorded an $11.7 million impairment charge on the Carillon medical office building during the three months ended September 30, 2025. As of September 30, 2025, the carrying value of the retail portion of Carillon was $36.1 million and its estimated fair value was $25.5 million; therefore, we recorded a $10.6 million impairment charge on the retail portion of Carillon during the three months ended September 30, 2025.

As of September 30, 2025, in connection with the preparation and review of the third quarter 2025 financial statements and in conjunction with continuing to classify City Center as held for sale, we evaluated City Center for impairment and recorded a $17.0 million impairment charge based upon the terms and conditions of purchase offers received. We assessed the recoverability of City Center by comparing the carrying value of long-lived assets of $71.5 million as of September 30, 2025 to its estimated fair value of $55.0 million, less estimated selling costs of $0.5 million; therefore, we recorded a $17.0 million impairment charge on City Center during the three months ended September 30, 2025.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, in connection with the preparation and review of the second quarter 2024 financial statements and in conjunction with classifying City Center as held for sale as of June 30, 2024, we recorded a $66.2 million impairment charge on City Center due to changes in the facts and circumstances underlying the Company's

expected future hold period of the property. We determined the impairment amount by comparing the carrying value of long-lived assets of $135.1 million as of June 30, 2024 to its estimated fair value of $69.6 million, which was determined using the income approach, less estimated selling costs of $0.7 million. The income approach involves discounting the estimated income stream and reversion (presumed sale) value of a property over an estimated hold period to a present value at a risk-adjusted rate. We used capitalization rates as a significant assumption in the valuation model, which are considered to be Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy. We applied capitalization rates ranging from 6.0% to 15.0% to property income streams based upon the risk profile of the respective tenants and market rent of the leasable space. Based on this analysis, we recorded a $66.2 million impairment charge on City Center during the year ended December 31, 2024.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, in connection with the preparation and review of the third quarter 2023 financial statements, we recorded a $0.5 million impairment charge in connection with the sale of Eastside, a 43,640 square foot multi-tenant retail property in the Dallas/Ft. Worth MSA, as a result of a change in the expected hold period. We recorded the asset at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell, which was approximately $14.1 million. The estimated fair value of Eastside was based upon the expected sales price from an executed sales contract and determined to be a Level 3 input within the fair value hierarchy. Eastside was sold on October 24, 2023 for a gross sales price of $14.4 million.

**NOTE 6. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION**

*Overview*

The Company's 2013 Equity Incentive Plan was amended and restated as of May 11, 2022 (the "Equity Plan") to, among other things, provide for the issuance of up to an additional 3,000,000 common share equivalents of the Company. The Equity Plan authorizes the issuance of share options, share appreciation rights, restricted shares and units, long-term incentive plan units ("LTIP Units"), "appreciation only" LTIP Units ("AO LTIP Units"), performance awards, and other share-based awards to the Company's employees and trustees. As of December 31, 2025, there were 3,632,531 common share equivalents available for grant under the Equity Plan. The Company accounts for its share-based compensation in accordance with the fair value recognition provisions provided in ASC 718, *Stock Compensation*.

During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized $10.8 million, $10.7 million, and $10.1 million of share-based compensation expense, net of amounts capitalized, respectively, which is included within "General, administrative and other" expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company capitalized $1.1 million, $1.1 million, and $1.4 million of share-based compensation for development activities, respectively. The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur.

*Share Options*

We expect to incur approximately $3.1 million of this expense in 2026, $1.6 million in 2027, and the remainder in 2028.

*LTIP Units*

Time-based LTIP Unit awards were granted on a discretionary basis to the Company's named executive officers during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, based on a review of the prior year's performance.

As of December 31, 2025, there was $4.1 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to LTIP Units, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.9 years. We expect to incur approximately $2.5 million of this expense in 2026, $1.4 million in 2027, and the remainder in 2028.

*AO LTIP Units*

During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company's executive officers exercised 485,593 and 551,817 AO LTIP Units, respectively, which were previously granted in connection with the Company's annual review of executive compensation. No AO LTIP Units were granted or exercised during the year ended December 31, 2025. AO LTIP Units are designed to have economics similar to stock options and allow the recipient, subject to vesting requirements, to realize value above a threshold level as of the grant date of the award (the "Participation Threshold"). The value of vested AO LTIP Units is realized through conversion into a number of vested LTIP Units in the Operating Partnership determined on the basis of how much the value of a common share of the Company has increased over the Participation Threshold.

The AO LTIP Units became exercisable and convertible into vested LTIP Units of the Operating Partnership after they became vested AO LTIP Units. The awards of AO LTIP Units were subject to both time-based and stock price performance-based vesting requirements. Subject to the terms of the award agreements, the AO LTIP Units vested and became fully exercisable as of the date that both of the following requirements had been met: (i) the grantee remains in continuous service from the grant date through the third anniversary of the grant date; and (ii) at any time during the five-year period following the grant date for awards granted in 2019 and at any time during the period beginning in the second year and ending at the end of the fifth year following the grant date for awards granted in 2020 and 2021, the reported closing price per common share of the Company appreciates at least 20% for awards granted in 2019 and at least 15% for awards granted in 2020 and 2021 over the applicable Participation Threshold per AO LTIP Unit for a minimum of 20 consecutive trading days.

The AO LTIP Units were valued using a Monte Carlo simulation, and the resulting compensation expense was amortized over a period of three to five years. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized compensation expense for the AO LTIP Units of $0.1 million, $0.8 million, and $1.7 million, respectively.

*Special Long-Term Equity Award*

In January 2022, the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Trustees granted a total of 363,883 LTIP Units to the Company's named executive officers as a special long-term equity award related to the October 2021 merger with RPAI, which were subject to both performance and service conditions. The LTIP Units granted were subject to an approximate three-year performance and service period, from October 23, 2021 through December 31, 2024, with the following performance components: (i) cumulative annualized net operating income for executed new leases from October 1, 2021 to December 31, 2024, which was weighted at 60%; (ii) post-merger cash general and administrative expense synergies achieved as of the end of the performance period, which was weighted at 20%; and (iii) same property net operating income margin improvement over the performance period, which was weighted at 20%. Overall performance was further subject to an absolute total shareholder return modifier that could increase (or decrease) the total number of LTIP Units that were eligible to vest by up to 25% (not to exceed the maximum number of LTIP Units). In February 2025, a total of 363,883 LTIP Units were granted to the Company's named executive officers related to the special long-term equity award. Distributions accrued during the performance period and were paid only on LTIP Units that vested at the conclusion of the performance period, which totaled $1.0 million and were settled in cash at such time.

*<u>Private Placement Senior Unsecured Notes</u>*

In October 2021, in connection with the merger with Retail Properties of America, Inc.

privately placed senior unsecured notes. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company repaid the $149.6 million principal balance of the 4.58% senior unsecured notes that matured on June 30, 2024. In addition, in August 2015, the Operating Partnership entered into a note purchase agreement in connection with the issuance of $250.0 million of senior unsecured notes at a blended interest rate of 4.41% and an average maturity of 9.8 years (collectively, the "Private Placement Notes"). During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company repaid the $80.0 million principal balance of the 4.47% senior unsecured notes that matured on September 10, 2025 (the "Notes Due September 2025"). During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company repaid the $95.0 million principal balance of the 4.23% senior unsecured notes that matured on September 10, 2023.

Each series of Private Placement Notes requires semi-annual interest payments each year until maturity. The Operating Partnership may prepay at any time all or, from time to time, any part of any series of the Private Placement Notes in an amount not less than 5% of the aggregate principal amount of such series of the Private Placement Notes then outstanding in the case of a partial prepayment, at 100% of the principal amount so prepaid plus a make-whole amount (as defined in the applicable note purchase agreement). The make-whole amount is equal to the excess, if any, of the discounted value of the remaining scheduled payments with respect to the Private Placement Notes being prepaid over the amount of such Private Placement Notes.

Each note purchase agreement contains customary financial maintenance covenants, including a maximum total leverage ratio, secured and unsecured leverage ratios, and a minimum interest coverage ratio. Each note purchase agreement also contains restrictive covenants that restrict the ability of the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries to, among other things, enter into transactions with affiliates, merge or consolidate, transfer assets, or incur liens. Further, each note purchase agreement contains customary events of default, including in relation to non-payment, breach of covenants, defaults under certain other indebtedness, judgment defaults, and bankruptcy events. In the case of an event of default, the holders of the Private Placement Notes may, among other remedies, accelerate the payment of all obligations.

*<u>Publicly Placed Senior Unsecured Notes</u>*

In June 2025, the Company completed a public offering of $300.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.20% senior unsecured notes due 2032 (the "Notes Due 2032"). The Notes Due 2032 were priced at 99.513% of the principal amount to yield 5.281% to maturity and will mature on August 15, 2032, unless earlier redeemed. The proceeds were used to repay the $150.0 million unsecured term loan that was scheduled to mature on July 17, 2026 (the "$150M Term Loan"), borrowings on the Company's revolving line of credit, and the Notes Due September 2025.

In August 2024, the Operating Partnership completed a public offering of $350.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.95% senior unsecured notes due 2031 (the "Notes Due 2031"). The Notes Due 2031 were priced at 99.328% of the principal amount to yield 5.062% to maturity and will mature on December 15, 2031, unless earlier redeemed. The proceeds were used to repay the $350.0 million principal balance of the 4.00% senior unsecured notes that matured on March 15, 2025 and for general corporate purposes.

In January 2024, the Operating Partnership completed a public offering of $350.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.50% senior unsecured notes due 2034 (the "Notes Due 2034"). The Notes Due 2034 were priced at 98.670% of the principal amount to yield 5.673% to maturity and will mature on March 1, 2034, unless earlier redeemed. The proceeds were used to repay the $149.6 million principal balance of the 4.58% senior unsecured notes that matured on June 30, 2024, the $120.0 million unsecured term loan that matured on July 17, 2024 (the "$120M Term Loan"), and for general corporate purposes.

In October 2021, in connection with the merger with RPAI, the Operating Partnership (as successor by merger to RPAI) assumed all of RPAI's outstanding $750.0 million aggregate principal of publicly placed senior unsecured notes. In addition, the Operating Partnership completed a $300.0 million public offering of 4.00% senior unsecured notes in September 2016 (collectively, the "Public Placement Notes"). The Public Placement Notes require semi-annual interest payments each year until maturity.

The Public Placement Notes are the direct, senior unsecured obligations of the Operating Partnership and rank equally in right of payment with all of its existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The Operating Partnership may redeem the Public Placement Notes at its option and in its sole discretion, at any time or from time to time, prior to three months prior to the respective maturity date (such date, the "Par Call Date"), at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the applicable Public Placement Notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest and a "make-

*<u>Exchangeable Senior Notes</u>*

In March 2021, the Operating Partnership issued $175.0 million aggregate principal amount of 0.75% exchangeable senior notes that mature in April 2027 (the "Exchangeable Notes"). The Exchangeable Notes are governed by an indenture between the Operating Partnership, the Company, and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The Exchangeable Notes were sold in the U.S. only to accredited investors pursuant to an exemption from the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and subsequently resold to qualified institutional investors pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act. The net proceeds from the offering of the Exchangeable Notes were approximately $169.7 million after deducting the underwriting fees and other expenses paid by the Company. The Exchangeable Notes bear interest at a rate of 0.75% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears, and will mature on April 1, 2027. During each of the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, we recognized approximately $1.3 million of interest expense related to the Exchangeable Notes.

Prior to January 1, 2027, the Exchangeable Notes are exchangeable into cash up to the principal amount of the Exchangeable Notes exchanged and, if applicable, cash or common shares or a combination thereof only upon certain circumstances and during certain periods. On or after January 1, 2027, the Exchangeable Notes will be exchangeable into cash up to the principal amount of the Exchangeable Notes exchanged and, if applicable, cash or common shares or a combination thereof at the option of the holders at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day preceding the maturity date. The initial exchange rate was 39.6628 common shares per $1,000 principal amount of Exchangeable Notes, which was equivalent to an initial exchange price of approximately $25.21 per common share and an exchange premium of approximately 25% based upon the closing price of $20.17 per common share on March 17, 2021. The exchange rate is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid interest. As of December 31, 2025, the exchange rate of the Exchangeable Notes is 41.8881 common shares per $1,000 of the principal amount due to adjustments related to dividends paid.

The Operating Partnership may redeem the Exchangeable Notes at its option, in whole or in part, on any business day on or after April 5, 2025, if the last reported sale price of the common shares has been at least 130% of the exchange price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Operating Partnership provides notice of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Exchangeable Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.

In connection with the Exchangeable Notes, the Operating Partnership entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions (the "Capped Call Transactions") with certain of the initial purchasers of the Exchangeable Notes or their respective affiliates. The Capped Call Transactions initially cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the Exchangeable Notes, the number of common shares underlying the Exchangeable Notes. The Capped Call Transactions are generally expected to reduce the potential dilution to holders of common shares upon exchange of the Exchangeable Notes. The cap price of the Capped Call Transactions was initially approximately $30.26, which represented a premium of approximately 50% over the last reported sale price of our common shares on March 17, 2021, and is subject to anti-dilution adjustments under the terms of the Capped Call Transactions. We incurred $9.8 million of costs related to the Capped Call Transactions, which are included within "Additional paid-in capital" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

(3)As of December 31, 2025, $150,000 of the $300,000 SOFR-based variable rate debt has been swapped to a fixed rate of 1.68% plus a credit spread based on a ratings grid ranging from 0.75% to 1.60% through July 17, 2026. The applicable credit spread was 0.85% as of December 31, 2025. The interest rate shown is the weighted average rate as of December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2024, $300,000 of SOFR-based variable rate debt had been swapped to a fixed rate of 2.47% plus a credit spread based on a ratings grid ranging from 1.15% to 2.20% through August 1, 2025. The applicable credit spread was 1.25% as of December 31, 2024.

(4)The revolving line of credit can be extended for either one one-year period or up to two six-month periods at the Company's election, subject to (i) customary representations and warranties, including, but not limited to, the absence of an event of default as defined in the unsecured credit agreement and (ii) payment of an extension fee equal to 0.075% of the revolving line of credit capacity.

*<u>Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility</u>*

In October 2024, the Operating Partnership, as borrower, and the Company entered into the Third Amendment (the "Third Amendment") to the Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of July 8, 2021 (as amended, the "Credit Agreement"), with a syndicate of financial institutions to provide for an unsecured revolving credit facility aggregating $1.1 billion (the "Revolving Facility") and a seven-year $300.0 million unsecured term loan that matures in July 2029 (the "$300M Term Loan"). Under the Credit Agreement, the Operating Partnership has the option, subject to certain customary conditions, to increase the Revolving Facility and/or incur additional term loans up to a maximum aggregate amount not to exceed $2.0 billion. The Revolving Facility matures on October 3, 2028, which maturity date may be extended for either one one-year period or up to two six-month periods at the Operating Partnership's option, subject to certain conditions. The Revolving Facility had an outstanding balance of $85.0 million as of December 31, 2025. No amounts were outstanding as of December 31, 2024.

Borrowings under the Revolving Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to SOFR plus a margin based on the Operating Partnership's leverage ratio or credit rating, respectively, plus a facility fee based on the Operating Partnership's leverage ratio or credit rating, respectively. In July 2025, the Operating Partnership, as borrower, and the Company entered into the Fourth Amendment (the "Fourth Amendment") to the Credit Agreement to, among other things, eliminate an additional 0.10% SOFR spread adjustment. The Revolving Facility is currently priced on the leverage-based pricing grid. In accordance with the Credit Agreement, the credit spread set forth in the leverage grid resets quarterly based on the Company's leverage, as calculated at the previous quarter end. The Company may irrevocably elect to convert to the ratings-based pricing grid at any time. As of December 31, 2025, making such an election would have resulted in a lower interest rate; however, the Company has not made the election to convert to the ratings-based pricing grid. As specified in the Credit Amendment, in the event that the Company so elects to convert to the ratings-based pricing grid, the Company has the ability to obtain more favorable pricing in certain circumstances when its total leverage ratio is (x) less than or equal to 35.0% or (y) greater than 35.0% but less than or equal to 37.5% with respect to not more than one fiscal quarter following a period in which the condition described in clause (x)

was satisfied (the "Leverage Toggle"). The Credit Amendment also includes an adjustment to the sustainability-linked pricing provisions that allows the otherwise applicable interest rate margin to be reduced by up to two basis points if certain greenhouse gas emission reduction targets are achieved. The greenhouse gas emission reduction targets have not been achieved as of December 31, 2025.

The Operating Partnership's ability to borrow under the Credit Agreement is subject to ongoing compliance by the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries with various restrictive covenants, including with respect to liens, transactions with affiliates, dividends, mergers, and asset sales. In addition, the Credit Agreement requires that the Operating Partnership satisfy certain financial covenants, including (i) a maximum leverage ratio; (ii) a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio; (iii) a maximum secured indebtedness ratio; (iv) a maximum unsecured leverage ratio; and (v) a minimum unencumbered interest coverage ratio. As of December 31, 2025, we were in compliance with all such covenants.

The Credit Agreement includes customary representations and warranties, which must continue to be true and correct in all material respects as a condition for future draws under the Revolving Facility. The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default, the occurrence of which, following any applicable grace period, would permit the lenders to, among other things, declare the principal, accrued interest, and other obligations under the Credit Agreement to be immediately due and payable.

As of December 31, 2025, we had outstanding letters of credit totaling $4.2 million with no amounts advanced against these instruments.

*<u>Unsecured Term Loans</u>*

In July 2022, in conjunction with the second amendment to the Credit Agreement, the Operating Partnership obtained a $300M Term Loan that bears interest at a rate of SOFR plus a credit spread based on a ratings-based pricing grid. The Fourth Amendment to the Credit Agreement described above reduced the ratings-based pricing credit spread from a range of 1.15% to 2.20% to a range of 0.75% to 1.60%. The Fourth Amendment also eliminated an additional 0.10% SOFR spread adjustment. Proceeds from the $300M Term Loan were used to repay outstanding indebtedness and for general corporate purposes. The Operating Partnership is permitted to prepay the $300M Term Loan in whole or in part at any time, without premium or penalty. The loan agreement for the $300M Term Loan includes the same Leverage Toggle for determining pricing and sustainability-linked pricing provisions as described above for the Credit Agreement. The greenhouse gas emission reduction targets have not been achieved as of December 31, 2025.

In October 2021, in connection with the merger with RPAI, the Operating Partnership (as successor by merger to RPAI) assumed RPAI's $120M Term Loan and $150M Term Loan, which were originally priced on a leverage-based pricing grid with the credit spread set forth in the leverage grid resetting quarterly based upon the Company's leverage, as calculated at the previous quarter end. The Operating Partnership had the option to irrevocably elect to convert to a ratings-based pricing grid at any time. In August 2022, the Operating Partnership made the election to convert to the ratings-based pricing grid. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Operating Partnership repaid the $120M Term Loan that matured on July 17, 2024.

On October 31, 2024, the Operating Partnership entered into a fifth amendment to the loan agreement related to the $150M Term Loan that implemented certain changes to the representations and warranties, covenants, and events of default consistent with the Third Amendment. The loan agreement related to the $150M Term Loan included a sustainability metric based on targeted greenhouse gas emission reductions, which would result in a reduction of the otherwise applicable interest rate margin by one basis point upon achievement of targets set forth therein. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Operating Partnership repaid the $150M Term Loan that was scheduled to mature on July 17, 2026.

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

Under the loan agreement related to the $150M Term Loan, the Operating Partnership had the option to increase the term loan to $250.0 million upon the Operating Partnership's request, subject to certain conditions including obtaining commitments from any one or more lenders, whether or not currently party to the term loan agreement, to provide such increased amounts. The Operating Partnership was permitted to prepay the $150M Term Loan in whole or in part, at any time, without being subject to a prepayment fee.

In October 2018, the Operating Partnership entered into a term loan agreement with a group of financial institutions providing for an unsecured term loan facility of up to $250.0 million (the "$250M Term Loan"). In October 2024, the Operating Partnership entered into the Second Amendment (the "Second Amendment") to the term loan agreement that extended the maturity date of the $250M Term Loan to October 24, 2027, with the option to extend such maturity date by one one-year period at the Company's election, subject to the payment of an extension fee and certain other customary conditions. In conjunction with the Second Amendment, the $250M Term Loan is priced on a ratings-based pricing grid with the interest rate equal to (x) a margin ranging from 0.75% to 1.60% or (y) a base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.00% to 0.60% and includes the same Leverage Toggle for determining pricing and sustainability-linked pricing provisions as described above for the Credit Agreement. In conjunction with the Second Amendment to the term loan agreement, the Company recorded a $0.2 million loss on extinguishment of debt related to the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs. In July 2025, the Operating Partnership entered into the third amendment to the term loan agreement related to the $250M Term Loan that eliminated an additional 0.10% SOFR spread adjustment. The Operating Partnership has the option to increase the $250M Term Loan to $300.0 million, subject to certain conditions, including obtaining commitments from any one or more lenders, whether or not currently party to the term loan agreement, to provide such increased amounts. The Operating Partnership is permitted to prepay the $250M Term Loan in whole or in part, without premium or penalty.

The unsecured term loan agreements contain representations, financial and other affirmative and negative covenants, and events of default that are substantially similar to those contained in the Credit Agreement. The unsecured term loan agreements all rank pari passu with the Operating Partnership's Revolving Facility and other unsecured indebtedness of the Operating Partnership.

*Other Debt Activity*

During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, we capitalized interest totaling $2.8 million, $3.9 million, and $3.7 million, respectively.

*Fair Value of Fixed and Variable Rate Debt*

As of December 31, 2025, the estimated fair value of fixed rate debt was $2.4 billion compared to the book value of $2.4 billion. The fair value was estimated using Level 2 and Level 3 inputs with cash flows discounted at current borrowing rates for similar instruments, which ranged from 4.50% to 6.49%. As of December 31, 2025, the estimated fair value of variable rate debt was $647.7 million compared to the book value of $647.2 million. The fair value was estimated using Level 2 and Level 3 inputs with cash flows discounted at current borrowing rates for similar instruments, which ranged from 4.54% to 5.84%.

**NOTE 10. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS, HEDGING ACTIVITIES AND OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME**

In order to manage potential future variable interest rate risk, we enter into interest rate derivative agreements from time to time. We do not use interest rate derivative agreements for trading or speculative purposes. The agreements with each of our derivative counterparties provide that in the event of default on any of our indebtedness, we could also be declared in default on our derivative obligations.

The following table summarizes the terms and fair values of the Company's derivative financial instruments that were designated and qualified as part of a hedging relationship as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 *(dollars in thousands)*:

(1)Derivatives in an asset position are included within "Prepaid and other assets" and derivatives in a liability position are included within "Accounts payable and accrued expenses" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

(2)These interest rate swaps were assigned to the Company's $300M Term Loan effective August 1, 2025.

(3)The derivative agreements swapped a blended fixed rate of 4.52% for a blended floating rate of three-month SOFR plus 3.70% through September 10, 2025.

In June 2025, we entered into three intraday interest rate lock agreements with notional amounts totaling $150.0 million that fixed the interest rate on a portion of the Notes Due 2032, which were issued in June 2025, at 4.21%. We paid $0.2 million upon termination, which is included as a component of "Accumulated other comprehensive income" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and is being reclassified as an increase to interest expense over the term of the debt.

In August 2024, we entered into two intraday interest rate lock agreements with notional amounts totaling $350.0 million that fixed the interest rate on a portion of the Notes Due 2031, which were issued in August 2024, at 3.75%. We paid $0.1 million upon termination, which is included as a component of "Accumulated other comprehensive income" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and is being reclassified as an increase to interest expense over the term of the debt.

In December 2023, we entered into three forward-starting interest rate swap agreements with notional amounts totaling $150.0 million that swap a floating rate of compound SOFR for a fixed rate of 3.44% with an effective date of June 28, 2024 and a maturity date of June 28, 2034. These interest rate swaps fixed the interest rate on a portion of the Notes Due 2034, which were issued in January 2024, and were subsequently terminated upon issuance of the Notes Due 2034. We received $0.7 million

upon termination, which is included as a component of "Accumulated other comprehensive income" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and is being reclassified as a reduction to interest expense over the term of the debt.

These interest rate derivative agreements are the only assets or liabilities that we record at fair value on a recurring basis. The valuation of these assets and liabilities is determined using widely accepted techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis. These techniques consider the contractual terms of the derivatives (including the period to maturity) and use observable market-based inputs, such as interest rate curves and implied volatilities. We also incorporate credit valuation adjustments into the fair value measurements to reflect nonperformance risk on both our part and that of the respective counterparties.

We have determined that the majority of the inputs used to value our derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, although the credit valuation adjustments associated with our derivatives use Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by us and our counterparties. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of our derivative positions and determined that the credit valuation adjustments were not significant to the overall valuation of our derivatives. As a result, we have determined that our derivative valuations are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to earnings over time as the hedged items are recognized in earnings. Approximately $9.1 million, $17.4 million, and $17.4 million was reclassified as a reduction to interest expense during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As interest payments on our derivatives are made over the next 12 months, we estimate the decrease to interest expense to be approximately $5.1 million, assuming the current SOFR curve.

Unrealized gains and losses on our interest rate derivative agreements are the only components of the change in accumulated other comprehensive income.

**NOTE 11. LEASE INFORMATION**

*Rental Income*

The Company receives rental income from the leasing of retail and office space. The lease agreements generally provide for certain increases in base rent and reimbursements for certain operating expenses, and they may require tenants to pay contingent rent to the extent their sales exceed a defined threshold. Certain tenants have the option in their lease agreement to extend their lease upon the expiration of the contractual term. Variable lease payments are based upon tenant sales information and are recognized once a tenant's sales volume exceeds a defined threshold. Variable lease payments for the reimbursement of operating expenses are based upon the operating expense activity for the period.

Rental income related to the Company's operating leases is comprised of the following for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 *(in thousands)*:

**NOTE 12. SEGMENT REPORTING**

An operating segment is a component of a public entity that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses and has discrete financial information available that is regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (the "CODM").

The Company's primary business is the ownership and operation of high-quality, open-air shopping centers and mixed-use assets that are primarily grocery-anchored and located in high-growth Sun Belt markets and select strategic gateway markets in the United States. We derive our revenue primarily from the collection of contractual rents and reimbursement payments from tenants under existing lease agreements at each of our properties. The Company's CODM, which is its Chief Executive Officer, regularly reviews operating and financial information for each property on an individual basis; therefore, each property represents an individual operating segment. The CODM does not distinguish or group our operations on a geographical or any

other basis for purposes of measuring performance and allocating capital. Across our properties, the financial performance, revenue generating activities, and customer base is determined to be economically similar; therefore, all operating segments have been aggregated into one reportable segment.

The CODM measures and evaluates the financial performance of our portfolio of properties and decides how resources are allocated based on net operating income. The CODM uses net operating income to evaluate income generated from each property in deciding whether to reinvest profits for recurring capital expenditures or into other parts of the business, such as for acquisitions, developments, scheduled interest and principal payments on our indebtedness, or to pay dividends. Net operating income is also used to monitor budget versus actual results in assessing the performance of our properties. The CODM does not regularly review total assets for our single reportable segment as total assets are not used to assess performance or allocate resources.

The following table presents information on the Company's reported segment revenue, net operating income, and significant segment expenses that are provided to the CODM and included within the Company's single reportable operating segment measure of profit or loss:

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**NOTE 13. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY**

*Distributions* 

On October 28, 2025, our Board of Trustees declared a cash distribution of $0.29 per common share and Common Unit for the fourth quarter of 2025. On December 29, 2025, our Board of Trustees also declared a special cash distribution of $0.145 per common share and Common Unit. These distributions were paid on January 16, 2026, to common shareholders and common unitholders of record as of January 9, 2026.

For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, we declared cash distributions totaling $1.245, $1.03, and $0.97, respectively, per common share and Common Unit.

*Share Repurchase Program*

In February 2021, our Board of Trustees approved a share repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase, from time to time, up to an aggregate of $150.0 million of our common shares. In April 2022, our Board of Trustees authorized a $150.0 million increase to the size of the share repurchase program, authorizing share repurchases up to a maximum of $300.0 million of our common shares (the "Share Repurchase Program"). The Company intends to fund any future repurchases under the Share Repurchase Program with cash on hand or availability under the Revolving Facility, subject to any applicable restrictions. The timing of share repurchases and the number of common shares to be repurchased under the Share Repurchase Program will depend upon prevailing market conditions, regulatory requirements, and other factors. In November 2025, the Company extended the Share Repurchase Program for an additional year to February 28, 2027, if not terminated or extended prior to that date. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company repurchased 10.9 million common shares at an average price per share of $22.82 for a total of $247.7 million. As of December 31, 2025, $52.3 million remained available for repurchases of common shares under the Company's Share Repurchase Program. The Company did not repurchase any shares during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Subsequent to December 31, 2025, the Company repurchased 2.2 million common shares at an average price per share of $23.92 for a total of $52.3 million. Additionally, in February 2026, our Board of Trustees authorized a $300.0 million increase to the size of the Share Repurchase Program, authorizing share repurchases up to a maximum of $600.0 million of our common shares.

*Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan*

We maintain a dividend reinvestment and share purchase plan that offers shareholders and new investors the option to invest all or a portion of their common share dividends in additional common shares. Participants in this plan are also able to make optional cash investments with certain restrictions.

**NOTE 14. EARNINGS PER SHARE OR UNIT**

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

Potentially dilutive securities include (i) outstanding options to acquire common shares; (ii) Limited Partner Units, which may be exchanged for either cash or common shares at the Parent Company's option and under certain circumstances; (iii) AO LTIP Units; (iv) deferred common share units, which may be credited to the personal accounts of members of the Board of Trustees in lieu of compensation paid in cash or the issuance of common shares to such trustees, and (v) common shares issuable upon the exchange of the Company's Exchangeable Notes. The Company calculates the potential dilutive effect of the Exchangeable Notes under the if-converted method, which considers only the amounts settled in excess of the principal in diluted earnings per share as the principal must be paid in cash. Limited Partner Units have been omitted from the Parent Company's denominator for the purpose of computing diluted earnings per share since the effect of including those amounts in the denominator would have no dilutive impact. Weighted average Limited Partner Units outstanding were 4.8 million, 3.8 million, and 3.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The following table summarizes the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the Parent Company for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.

**NOTE 15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES**

*Other Commitments and Contingencies*

We are obligated under various completion guarantees with certain lenders and lease agreements with tenants to complete all or portions of a development project and tenant-specific space that are currently under construction. We believe we currently have sufficient financing in place to fund these projects and expect to do so primarily through free cash flow or borrowings on the Revolving Facility.

In 2017, we provided a repayment guaranty on a $33.8 million construction loan associated with the development of the Embassy Suites at the University of Notre Dame, consistent with our 35% ownership interest. Our portion of the repayment guaranty was limited to $5.9 million, and the guaranty's term was through July 1, 2024, the maturity date of the construction loan. In July 2024, the joint venture repaid the construction loan, of which we contributed $10.2 million, representing our 35% share of the debt repaid.

In 2021, we provided repayment and completion guarantees on loans totaling $66.2 million associated with the development of The Corner mixed-use project in the Indianapolis MSA. As of December 31, 2025, the outstanding balance of the loans was $69.1 million, of which our share was $34.5 million.

As of December 31, 2025, we had outstanding letters of credit totaling $4.2 million with no amounts advanced against these instruments.

In July 2025, Eastgate Crossing, a 152,682 square foot multi-tenant retail property in the Durham-Chapel Hill MSA, experienced severe flooding as a result of Tropical Storm Chantal. We believe that we have adequate third-party insurance, subject to a $0.3 million deductible, including business interruption coverage, to address this matter, and at this time, we do not believe that the flood will have a significant adverse impact on our results of operations or financial condition on a consolidated basis.

*Legal Proceedings*

We are not subject to any material litigation, nor, to management's knowledge, is any material litigation currently threatened against us. We are parties to routine litigation, claims, and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Management believes that such matters will not have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows taken as a whole.

**NOTE 16. RELATED PARTIES AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS**

Subsidiaries of the Company provide certain management, construction management, and other services to a number of entities owned by several members of the Company's management. During each of the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, we earned less than $0.1 million from entities owned by certain members of management.

We reimburse entities owned by certain members of the Company's management for certain travel and related services. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, we paid $0.2 million, $0.2 million, and $0.3 million, respectively, to this related entity.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ("KRG Development") assigned to Pan Am Development Partners, LLC (the "Assignee") certain rights and obligations related to the development of a hotel on the Pan Am Plaza site in Indianapolis, IN, including certain future development rights and a right of first offer involving the project (collectively, the "Project Rights and Obligations"). The Assignee is a wholly owned subsidiary of Circle Block Investor, LLC, the parent company that owns the Conrad Indianapolis hotel, of which Mr. Alvin E. Kite, our Chairman Emeritus and the father of Mr. John A. Kite, is the majority owner, and Mr. John A. Kite, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, and Mr. Thomas K. McGowan, our President and Chief Operating Officer, are minority owners. In connection with the transaction, the Assignee assumed all Project Rights and Obligations from and after August 7, 2023 and paid KRG Development a $3.5 million assignment fee (the "Assignment Fee") during the year ended December 31, 2024 upon the completion of certain development activities. In connection with the transactions, Mr. Kite and Mr. McGowan expressly acknowledged and agreed that they remain subject to their executive employment agreements with the Company, including, without limitation, the obligation of each executive to devote substantially all his business time and effort to the performance of his duties for the Company. Assignee will engage a team of full-time professionals to perform the Project Rights and Obligations. The transaction was approved by a special transaction committee of the independent trustees of the Company (the "Transaction Committee") as well as the Company's independent trustees. The Transaction Committee engaged a third-party financial advisor to assist in determining the net value of the Project Rights and Obligations and establishing the Assignment Fee.

**NOTE 17. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS**

Subsequent to December 31, 2025, we:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• repurchased 2.2 million common shares at an average price per share of $23.92 for a total of $52.3 million; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• closed on the sale of the second phase of a land parcel and the rights to develop 14 residential units at the One Loudoun Expansion in the Washington, D.C. MSA for a sales price of $3.7 million.

On February 14, 2026, our Board of Trustees authorized a $300.0 million increase to the size of our Share Repurchase Program, authorizing share repurchases up to a maximum of $600.0 million of our common shares.
