*On November 2, 2020, the NYSE announced that it had suspended trading in the Company’s stock and it had determined to commence proceedings to delist the Company’s common stock, as well as the depositary shares each representing a 1/10^th fractional share of the Company’s 7.375% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Series D Preferred Stock”) and the depositary shares each representing a 1/10^th fractional share of the Company’s 6.625% Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Series E Preferred Stock”), due to such securities no longer being suitable for listing based on “abnormally low” trading price levels, pursuant to Section 802.01D of the NYSE Listed Company Manual. Since November 3, 2020, the Company’s common stock and such depositary shares have been trading on the OTC Markets, operated by the OTC Markets Group, Inc., under the trading symbol CBLAQ for the common stock, CBLDQ for depositary shares representing Series D Preferred Stock and CBLEQ for depositary shares representing Series E Preferred Stock. Effective November 2, 2021, the NYSE had withdrawn actions to delist the Company’s common stock and trading in the Company’s new common stock commenced under the symbol CBL.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

(Dollars in thousands, except share data)

This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 of CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. and CBL & Associates Limited Partnership. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to the "Company" mean CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. and its subsidiaries. References to the "Operating Partnership" mean CBL & Associates Limited Partnership and its subsidiaries. The terms "we," "us" and "our" refer to the Company or the Company and the Operating Partnership collectively, as the context requires.

As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 2, 2020 by CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. together with its majority owned subsidiary, CBL & Associates Limited Partnership, together with certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”), commenced the filing of voluntary petitions (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) under chapter 11 of title 11 (“Chapter 11”) of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the “Bankruptcy Court”) beginning on November 1, 2020. The Debtors filed a series of motions with the Bankruptcy Court that, as granted, enabled the Debtors to maintain their operations in the ordinary course of business. In connection with the Chapter 11 Cases, on August 11, 2021, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order, Docket No.1397 (Confirmation Order), confirming the Debtors’ Third Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. and its Affiliated Debtors (With Technical Modifications) (as modified at Docket No. 1521, the “Plan”). On November 1, 2021 (the “Effective Date”), the conditions to effectiveness of the Plan were satisfied and the Debtors emerged from the Chapter 11 Cases. See Note 2 for more information.

The Company is a real estate investment trust ("REIT") whose stock was traded on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) prior to the NYSE’s announcement, on November 2, 2020, that it had suspended trading in the Company’s stock due to “abnormally low” trading price levels and had determined to commence proceedings to delist the Company’s stock. As discussed further under Delisting of Common Stock and Depositary Shares in Note 2 herein, on November 2, 2021, the newly issued common stock of the Company commenced trading on the NYSE under the symbol CBL. Prior to that, the Company’s stock traded on the OTC Markets, operated by the OTC Markets Group, Inc. The Company is the 100% owner of two qualified REIT subsidiaries, CBL Holdings I, Inc. and CBL Holdings II, Inc. As of September 30, 2021, CBL Holdings I, Inc., the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, owned a 1.0% general partner interest in the Operating Partnership and CBL Holdings II, Inc. owned a 97.1% limited partner interest for a combined interest held by the Company of 98.1%. As of the Effective Date, CBL Holdings I, Inc., the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, owned a 1.0% general partner interest in the Operating Partnership and CBL Holdings II, Inc. owned a 98.9% limited partner interest for a combined interest held by the Company of 99.9%.

As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Company's subsidiary, CBL Holdings I, Inc., has exclusive control of the Operating Partnership's activities. Management operates the Company and the Operating Partnership as one business. The management of the Company consists of the same individuals that manage the Operating Partnership. The Company's only material asset is its indirect ownership of partnership interests of the Operating Partnership. As a result, the Company conducts substantially all its business through the Operating Partnership as described in the preceding paragraph. The Company also issues public equity from time to time and guarantees certain debt of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership holds all the assets and indebtedness of the Company and, through affiliates, retains the ownership interests in the Company's joint ventures. Except for the net proceeds of offerings of equity by the Company, which are contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for partnership units on a one-for-one basis, the Operating Partnership generates all remaining capital required by the Company's business through its operations and its incurrence of indebtedness.

We believe that combining the two quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the Company and the Operating Partnership provides the following benefits:

•

enhances investors' understanding of the Company and the Operating Partnership by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner that management views and operates the business;

•

eliminates duplicative disclosure and provides a more streamlined and readable presentation, since a substantial portion of the disclosure applies to both the Company and the Operating Partnership; and

•

creates time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.

To help investors understand the differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership, this report provides separate condensed consolidated financial statements for the Company and the Operating Partnership. Noncontrolling interests, shareholders' equity and partners' capital are the main areas of difference between the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and those of the Operating Partnership. A single set of notes to condensed consolidated financial statements is presented that includes separate discussions for the Company and the Operating Partnership, when applicable. A combined Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and

Table of Contents

Results of Operations section is also included that presents combined information and discrete information related to each entity, as applicable.

In order to highlight the differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership, this report includes the following sections that provide separate financial and other information for the Company and the Operating Partnership:

•

condensed consolidated financial statements;

•

certain accompanying notes to condensed consolidated financial statements, including Note 8 - Unconsolidated Affiliates and Noncontrolling Interests; Note 9 - Mortgage and Other Indebtedness, Net; and Note 11 - Earnings per Share and Earnings per Unit;

•

controls and procedures in Item 4 of Part I of this report;

•

information concerning unregistered sales of equity securities and use of proceeds in Item 2 of Part II of this report; and

•

certifications of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer included as Exhibits 31.1 through 32.4.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Dollars in thousands, except per share and per unit data)

Note 1 – Organization and Basis of Presentation

Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to the "Company" mean CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. and its subsidiaries. References to the "Operating Partnership" mean CBL & Associates Limited Partnership and its subsidiaries.

CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. (“CBL”), a Delaware corporation, is a self-managed, self-administered, fully-integrated real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that is engaged in the ownership, development, acquisition, leasing, management and operation of regional shopping malls, open-air and mixed-use centers, outlet centers, associated centers, community centers and office properties. Its properties are located in 24 states, but are primarily in the southeastern and midwestern United States.

CBL conducts substantially all its business through CBL & Associates Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), which is a variable interest entity ("VIE"). The Operating Partnership consolidates the financial statements of all entities in which it has a controlling financial interest or where it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE.

As of September 30, 2021, the Operating Partnership owned interests in the following properties:

			All Other Properties
	Malls ⁽¹⁾		Associated Centers		Community Centers		Office Buildings and Other		Total
Consolidated Properties ⁽²⁾		49		20		1		4		74
Unconsolidated Properties⁽³⁾		12		3		5		4		24
Total		61		23		6		8		98

(1)	Category consists of regional malls, open-air centers and outlet centers (including one mixed-use center).

(2)	CBL's two corporate office buildings are included within the Office Buildings and Other category.

(3)	The Operating Partnership accounts for these investments using the equity method because one or more of the other partners have substantive participating rights.

The Malls and All Other Properties ("Associated Centers, Community Centers, Office Buildings and Other") are collectively referred to as the “Properties” and individually as a “Property.”

CBL is the 100% owner of two qualified REIT subsidiaries, CBL Holdings I, Inc. and CBL Holdings II, Inc. As of September 30, 2021, CBL Holdings I, Inc., the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, owned a 1.0% general partner interest in the Operating Partnership and CBL Holdings II, Inc. owned a 97.1% limited partner interest for a combined interest held by CBL of 98.1%. As of the Effective Date, CBL Holdings I, Inc., the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, owned a 1.0% general partner interest in the Operating Partnership and CBL Holdings II, Inc. owned a 98.9% limited partner interest for a combined interest held by the Company of 99.9%.

Historically, the noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership has been held by CBL & Associates, Inc., its shareholders and affiliates and certain senior officers of the Company (collectively "CBL's Predecessor"), all of which contributed their interests in certain real estate properties and joint ventures to the Operating Partnership in exchange for a limited partner interest when the Operating Partnership was formed in November 1993, and by various third parties. At September 30, 2021, CBL’s Predecessor no longer owned any limited partner interest and third parties owned a 1.9% limited partner interest in the Operating Partnership. CBL's Predecessor owned 20.0 million shares of CBL’s common stock at September 30, 2021, for a total effective interest of 10.0% in the Operating Partnership.

As used herein, the term "Company" includes CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including CBL & Associates Limited Partnership and its subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise. The term "Operating Partnership" refers to CBL & Associates Limited Partnership and its subsidiaries.

The Operating Partnership conducts the Company's property management and development activities through its wholly owned subsidiary, CBL & Associates Management, Inc. (the “Management Company"), to comply with certain requirements of the Internal Revenue Code.

Bankruptcy Accounting

The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared as if the Company were a going concern and in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic No. 852 – Reorganizations (“ASC 852”). See Note 2 for additional details regarding the bankruptcy. As a result, the Company has segregated prepetition unsecured or under secured liabilities and obligations whose treatment and satisfaction were dependent on the outcome of the Chapter 11 proceedings and have classified these items as “Liabilities subject to compromise” on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. In addition, the Company has classified all expenses that were incurred as a result of the Chapter 11 proceedings since filing as “Reorganization items” in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. In addition to expenses, reorganization items can include realized gains or losses.

COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and likely will continue to have, repercussions across local, national and global economies and financial markets. COVID-19 has impacted all states where the Company’s tenants operate their businesses or where the Company’s properties are located and measures taken to prevent or remediate COVID-19, including “shelter-in place” or “stay-at-home” orders or other quarantine mandates issued by local, state or federal authorities, have had an adverse effect on its business and the businesses of its tenants. The full extent of the adverse impact on, among other things, the Company’s results of operations, liquidity (including its ability to access capital markets), the possibility of future impairments of long-lived assets or its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, its compliance with debt covenants, its ability to renew and re-lease its leased space, the outlook for the retail environment, potential bankruptcies or other store closings and its ability to develop, acquire, dispose or lease properties, is unknown and will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. While the majority of the most restrictive mandates have been lifted, state and local governments and other authorities are in varying stages of lifting or modifying some of the measures used to mitigate or control the spread of the virus. Even though vaccines are widely available, the COVID-19 pandemic could worsen at any time, which could cause new or more restrictive measures to be implemented to prevent the spread of the virus. In fact, certain markets have implemented new restrictions as a result of break-through cases and the increased spread of variants of COVID-19, including the Delta variant. Tenants and customers have gradually adapted to current conditions with services such as curbside pickup and increased consumer risk-tolerance, but there is no guarantee that retail will return to levels seen prior to the pandemic. The Company has experienced, and expects to continue to experience, a material adverse impact on its revenues, results of operations, and cash flows throughout 2021. Further, there is a risk that both the Company and its tenants could experience future adverse impacts in complying with governmental COVID-19 vaccine mandates applicable to their respective workforces. The situation is unpredictable and additional impacts to the business may arise that the Company is not aware of currently.

Note 2 - Chapter 11 Cases and Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

Voluntary Reorganization under Chapter 11

On August 18, 2020, the Company entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement, (the “Original RSA”) with certain beneficial owners and/or investment advisors or managers of discretionary funds, accounts or other entities for the holders of beneficial owners (the “Consenting Noteholders”) representing in excess of 62%, including joining noteholders pursuant to joinder agreements, of the aggregate principal amount of the $450,000 of senior unsecured notes issued by the Operating Partnership in November 2013 that bear interest at 5.25% and mature on December 1, 2023 (the “2023 Notes”), the $300,000 of senior unsecured notes issued by the Operating Partnership in October 2014 that bear interest at 4.60% and mature on October 15, 2024 (the “2024 Notes”) and the $625,000 of senior unsecured notes issued by the Operating Partnership in December 2016 and September 2017 that bear interest at 5.95% and mature on December 15, 2026 (the “2026 Notes” and, collectively with the 2023 Notes and 2024 Notes, the "Notes").

On October 28, 2020, the Operating Partnership was notified by the administrative agent and lenders that they elected to exercise their rights pursuant to the terms of the secured credit facility to (i) require that rents payable by tenants at the properties that are collateral to the secured credit facility be paid directly to the administrative agent and (ii) exercise all voting rights and other ownership rights in respect of all the equity interests in the subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership that are guarantors of the secured credit facility.

Beginning on November 1, 2020 (the “Commencement Date”), CBL and the Operating Partnership, together with certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”), filed voluntary petitions (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) under chapter 11 of title 11 (“Chapter 11”) of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Bankruptcy Court authorized the Debtors to continue to operate their businesses and manage their properties as debtors-in-possession pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code. The Chapter 11 Cases are being jointly administered for procedural purposes only under the caption In re CBL & Associates Properties, Inc., et al., Case No. 20-35226.

Table of Contents

In connection with the Chapter 11 Cases, on August 11, 2021, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order, Docket No.1397 (Confirmation Order), confirming the Debtors’ Third Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. and its Affiliated Debtors (With Technical Modifications) (as modified at Docket No. 1521, the “Plan”).

On November 1, 2021 (the “Effective Date”), the conditions to effectiveness of the Plan were satisfied and the Debtors emerged from the Chapter 11 Cases. The Company filed a notice of the Effective Date of the Plan with the Bankruptcy Court on November 1, 2021.

Although the Company is no longer a debtor-in-possession, the Company was a debtor-in-possession through the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. As such, the Company’s bankruptcy proceedings and related matters are discussed below.

The filing of the Chapter 11 Cases constituted an event of default that resulted in the automatic acceleration of certain monetary obligations to be immediately due and payable with respect to the secured credit facility and the senior unsecured notes. On November 2, 2020, the Company filed an adversary proceeding in the Bankruptcy Court seeking among other things, a temporary restraining order (the “Order”) and for a preliminary injunction to enjoin, pending a determination of the parties’ rights, the administrative agent or any of its officers, agents, servants, attorneys and successors from taking any action to exercise any and all remedies under the terms of the secured credit facility or other agreements as a result of the events of default asserted by the administrative agent, or any other right or remedy that would otherwise accompany the occurrence of an event of default, including without limitation, any rights of acceleration under the terms of the secured credit facility, rights flowing from the notice of acceleration, rights exercised pursuant to the Notice of Exercise or any other rights or remedies properly exercisable solely upon an actual or determined event of default. On November 2, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court granted the Order, and the Bankruptcy Court took up the other pending claims during the adversary proceeding, which was stayed pending the confirmation of the Plan.

The filing of the Chapter 11 Cases constituted an event of default with respect to certain property-level debt of the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries, which may result in acceleration of the outstanding principal and other sums due. See Note 8 and Note 9 for further discussion.

Following the Commencement Date, the Bankruptcy Court entered certain interim and final orders facilitating the Debtors’ operational transition into Chapter 11. These orders authorized the Debtors to, among other things, pay certain prepetition employee expenses and benefits, use their existing cash management system, maintain and administer customer programs, pay certain critical service providers, honor insurance-related obligations, and pay certain prepetition taxes and related fees on a final basis.

On the Effective Date, in exchange for their approximately $1,375,000 in principal amount of senior unsecured notes and $133,000 in principal amount of the secured credit facility, Consenting Noteholders, other noteholders, and certain holders of unsecured claims against the Company received, in the aggregate, $95,000 in cash, $455,000 of new senior secured notes, $100,000 of new convertible secured notes, based upon the election by certain Consenting Noteholders, and 89% in common equity of the newly reorganized company (subject to dilution, as set forth in the Plan). Certain Consenting Noteholders also provided $50,000 of new money in exchange for additional new convertible secured notes. Pursuant to the Plan the remaining lenders of the senior secured credit facility, holding $983,700 in principal amount, received $100,000 in cash and a new $883,700 secured term loan. Existing common and preferred shareholders each received 5.5% of common equity in the newly reorganized company. On the Effective Date, the Company had an aggregate 20,000,000 shares of new common stock issued and outstanding.

On the Effective Date, the Company reserved an additional (i) approximately 9,000,000 shares of new common stock for issuance upon the potential exercise of the new convertible notes and (ii) 3,222,222 shares of new common stock for issuance under an equity incentive plan.

On the Effective Date, all prior equity interests of the Company issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Date, including (1) the REIT’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share and the REIT’s preferred stock and related depositary shares and (2) the Operating Partnership’s limited partnership common interests and the limited partnership preferred interests related to the REIT’s preferred stock, and any rights of any holder in respect thereof, were deemed cancelled, discharged and of no force or effect.

Exit Credit Agreement

On the Effective Date, CBL & Associates HoldCo I, LLC (“HoldCo I”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the “Exit Credit Agreement”), providing for an $883,700 senior secured term loan that matures November 1, 2025. Upon satisfaction of certain conditions, the maturity date will automatically extend to November 1, 2026 and upon further satisfaction of certain conditions the maturity date will automatically extend to November 1, 2027. Borrowings under the senior secured term loan may be LIBOR loans or base rate loans (each as defined in the Exit Credit Agreement). Borrowings that are LIBOR loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR (as defined in the Exit Credit Agreement) for the applicable interest period plus 275 basis points, subject to a LIBOR floor of 1.0%. Borrowings that are base rate Loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the base rate (as defined in the Exit Credit Agreement) plus 175 basis points.

The Exit Credit Agreement requires HoldCo I to comply with certain financial ratios in the aggregate for the collateral properties, including a covenant that it not permit the (i) interest coverage ratio (as defined in the Exit Credit Agreement) commencing with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2021, to be less than 1.50 to 1.00, (ii) minimum debt yield ratio (as defined in the Exit Credit Agreement) commencing with the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2023 as of the last day of any fiscal quarter ending prior to the maturity date, to be less than eleven and a half percent (11.50%) and (iii) the occupancy rate (as defined in the Exit Credit Agreement) commencing with the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2023, as of the last day of any fiscal quarter ending prior to the maturity date, to be less than seventy five percent (75%).

The Exit Credit Agreement is secured by first-priority liens on substantially all the personal and real property assets of HoldCo I and its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including without limitation, HoldCo I’s and the subsidiary guarantors’ ownership interests in the capital stock, membership interests or partnership interests in the subsidiary guarantors.

Secured Notes Indenture

On the Effective Date, CBL & Associates HoldCo II, LLC (“HoldCo II”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, entered into a secured notes indenture relating to the issuance of 10% senior secured notes due 2029 (the “Secured Notes”) in an aggregate principal amount of $455,000. The Secured Notes mature November 15, 2029 and bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum, payable semi-annually on November 15 and May 15, beginning May 15, 2022.

The Secured Notes are secured by first priority perfected liens on certain personal and real property assets owned as of the Effective Date by HoldCo II and certain secured notes subsidiary guarantors and certain assets of HoldCo II and each secured notes subsidiary guarantor acquired after the Effective Date.

Upon the occurrence of certain permitted asset sales or dispositions and certain collateral release trigger events, HoldCo II is required to make an offer to the holders of the Secured Notes to repurchase the Secured Notes (in the case of such asset sales) or redeem the Secured Notes (in the case of such trigger events) in an aggregate principal amount equal to a certain specified portion of the proceeds of such sale, financing transaction or other disposition. Additionally, HoldCo II may redeem the Secured Notes at its option, subject to satisfaction of customary conditions thereof, including payment of accrued and unpaid interest through the date of such optional redemption and any applicable premium. HoldCo II redeemed $60,000 aggregate principal amount of the Secured Notes pursuant to an optional redemption on November 8, 2021, which left an outstanding balance of $395,000.

The secured notes indenture contains customary affirmative covenants, including covenants regarding the maintenance of insurance and reporting requirements, and negative covenants, including covenants limiting the ability of Holdco II and certain of its subsidiaries to, among other things, incur debt, grant liens, enter into transactions with affiliates and sell or dispose of assets.

Exchangeable Notes Indenture

On the Effective Date, HoldCo II entered into a secured exchangeable notes indenture relating to the issuance of 7.0% exchangeable senior secured notes due 2028 (the “Exchangeable Notes”) in an aggregate principal amount of $150,000. The Exchangeable Notes mature November 15, 2028 and bear interest at a rate of 7.0% per annum, payable semi-annually on November 15 and May 15, beginning May 15, 2022.

The Exchangeable Notes are secured by first priority perfected liens on certain personal and real property assets owned as of the Effective Date by Holdco II and certain of its subsidiaries and certain assets of HoldCo II and each of its subsidiaries acquired after the Effective Date.

Upon the occurrence of certain permitted asset sales or dispositions and certain collateral release trigger events, HoldCo II is required to make an offer to the holders of the Exchangeable Notes to repurchase the Exchangeable Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to a certain specified portion of the proceeds of such sale, financing transaction or other disposition. Additionally, on or after August 15, 2028, HoldCo II may elect to redeem the Exchangeable Notes, subject to satisfaction of customary conditions thereof, including payment of accrued and unpaid interest through the date of such optional redemption.

Table of Contents

Subject to certain conditions, the Exchangeable Notes may be exchanged upon a holder’s request for (at HoldCo II’s option) cash, common stock or a combination thereof at any time from the Effective Date until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date. The applicable rate of exchange shall be calculated, and is subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, in accordance with the terms of the Exchangeable Notes Indenture.

In addition, HoldCo II may elect at its option to exchange all or any portion of the “exchange amount” in respect of the Exchangeable Notes for (at HoldCo II’s option) cash, common stock or a combination thereof in the event that the daily volume-weighted average price per share of the common stock is at least 160% of the exchange price then in effect on at least 20 of the 30 trading days immediately preceding the date HoldCo II gives notice of its intent to exercise such election, including the trading day immediately preceding the date such notice is given. The “exchange amount” shall include the present value of future interest payments to maturity on the Exchangeable Notes up to a maximum of 36-months.

The exchangeable notes indenture also contains a customary “make-whole fundamental change” grid providing for the increase in the exchange rate for exchanges of Exchangeable Notes in connection with a “make-whole fundamental change,” and a customary right of holders to put their Exchange Notes to HoldCo II at par upon a “fundamental change,” in each case as defined and subject to the provisions of the exchangeable notes indenture.

The exchangeable notes indenture contains customary affirmative covenants, including covenants regarding the maintenance of insurance and reporting requirements, and negative covenants, including covenants limiting the ability of HoldCo II and certain of its subsidiaries to, among other things, incur debt, grant liens, enter into transactions with affiliates and sell or dispose of assets.

As of the first date on which no Secured Notes remain outstanding and the debt yield based on Consolidated Modified Cash NOI (as defined in the exchangeable notes indenture) on a trailing four quarter basis attributable to certain specified properties exceeds 15%, certain exchangeable notes subsidiary guarantors will be released from their note guarantee obligations, certain collateral (other than certain specified properties) will be released from applicable liens, and certain covenants relating to limitations on indebtedness and asset sales, among other things, will be substantially modified in accordance with the exchangeable notes indenture.

2021 Equity Incentive Plan

Following the Effective Date, the board of directors of the Company adopted the CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “EIP”). The EIP authorizes the grant of equity awards to eligible participants based on the new common stock, in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other equity awards. Awards under the EIP may be granted to officers, employees, directors, consultants and independent contractors of the reorganized company. Initially, 3,222,222 shares of new common stock are available under the EIP. The initial new common stock under the EIP is subject to an annual increase of a number of shares equal to 3% of the number of shares of new common stock issued and outstanding at the end of the relevant calendar year (beginning January 2023), or such lesser amount as the board of directors may determine. The Plan will be administered by the compensation committee of the board of directors, which will determine the participants who will be granted awards under the EIP and the terms and conditions of EIP awards.

Liquidity and Going Concern Considerations

In accordance with the accounting guidance related to the presentation of financial statements, when preparing financial statements for each annual and interim reporting period, management evaluates whether there are conditions or events that, when considered in the aggregate, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. In making its assessment, management considered the Company’s current financial condition and liquidity sources, as well as the status of the Chapter 11 Cases.

The filing of the Chapter 11 Cases by the Debtors constituted an event of default that results in the automatic acceleration of certain monetary obligations to be immediately due and payable with respect to the secured credit facility and the senior unsecured notes. The filing of the Chapter 11 Cases also constituted an event of default with respect to certain property-level debt of the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries, which may result in acceleration of the outstanding principal and other sums due. See Note 8 and Note 9 for further discussion.

As a result of the Company’s financial condition and the near-term maturities of substantial indebtedness, substantial doubt existed as of September 30, 2021 that the Company would be able to continue as a going concern.

On August 11, 2021, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order confirming the Plan which became effective after the close of business on November 1, 2021. The Successor, defined below, will have approximately $1,315,000 of property-level debt and related obligations maturing or callable within the next 12 months of the Effective Date, which represents approximately 25-35% of projected annual operating cash flows of the Successor.

Table of Contents

The Successor intends to refinance and/or extend the maturity date of such mortgage notes payable, however, in the instances where a refinancing and/or extension of maturity dates is unsuccessful the Successor would convey such property to the lender to satisfy its debt obligation.

The Company has prepared its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern. The financial statements do not reflect any adjustments related to the recoverability of assets and satisfaction of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Delisting of Common Stock and Depositary Shares

On November 2, 2020, the NYSE announced that (i) it had suspended trading in the Company’s stock and (ii) it had determined to commence proceedings to delist the Company’s common stock, as well as the depositary shares each representing a 1/10th fractional share of the Company’s 7.375% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Series D Preferred Stock”) and the depositary shares each representing a 1/10th fractional share of the Company’s 6.625% Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Series E Preferred Stock”), due to such securities no longer being suitable for listing based on “abnormally low” trading price levels, pursuant to Section 802.01D of the NYSE Listed Company Manual. The Company appealed this decision in accordance with NYSE rules. In the meantime, effective November 3, 2020, the Company’s common stock and the depositary shares representing fractional interests in its Series D Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock began trading on the OTC Markets, operated by the OTC Markets Group, Inc., under the symbols CBLAQ, CBLDQ and CBLEQ, respectively. On November 2, 2021, the newly issued common stock of the reorganized company commenced trading on the NYSE under the symbol CBL.

Fresh-Start Reporting

Upon emergence from bankruptcy on the Effective Date, the Company expects to qualify for fresh-start reporting. In order to qualify for fresh-start reporting (i) the holders of existing voting shares of the Company prior to its emergence must receive less than 50% of the voting shares of the Company outstanding following its emergence from bankruptcy and (ii) the reorganization value of the Company’s assets immediately prior to confirmation of the Plan must be less than the post-petition liabilities and allowed claims. Under the principles of fresh-start reporting, a new reporting entity (the “Successor”) will be considered to have been created, and, as a result, the Successor will allocate the reorganization value of the Successor to its individual assets based on their estimated fair values. The process of estimating the fair value of the Successor’s assets, liabilities and equity upon emergence is currently ongoing and, therefore, such amounts have not yet been finalized.

Reorganization Items

Any expenses, gains and losses that are realized or incurred as of or subsequent to November 1, 2020, the Commencement Date, and as a direct result of the Chapter 11 Cases, are recorded in the line item “Reorganization items” in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three months ended September 30, 2021, the $12,008 of reorganization items consists of $11,051 in professional fees, $441 in compensation associated with reorganization efforts and $516 of U.S. Trustee fees. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the $52,014 of reorganization items consists of $48,760 in professional fees, $1,513 in compensation associated with reorganization efforts and $1,741 of U.S. Trustee fees.

Liabilities Subject to Compromise

As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company reclassified $2,551,686 and $2,551,490, respectively, to the line item “Liabilities subject to compromise” in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. These liabilities are reported at the amounts expected to be allowed as claims by the Bankruptcy Court, although they may be settled for less. As of September 30, 2021, the liabilities subject to compromise consisted of $1,375,000 related to the senior unsecured notes, $675,926 related to the secured line of credit, $438,750 related to the secured term loan, $57,644 in unpaid accrued interest as of the Commencement Date and $4,366 of prepetition unsecured or under secured liabilities. As of December 31, 2020, the liabilities subject to compromise consisted of $1,375,000 related to the senior unsecured notes, $675,926 related to the secured line of credit, $438,750 related to the secured term loan, $57,644 in unpaid accrued interest as of the Commencement Date and $4,170 of prepetition unsecured or under secured liabilities.

The contractual interest expense on the senior unsecured notes and secured credit facility is in excess of recorded interest expense by $45,344 and $135,162 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. This excess contractual interest expense is not included as interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 because the Company discontinued accruing interest on the senior unsecured notes and the secured credit facility subsequent to the Commencement Date in accordance with ASC 852, which limits the recognition of interest expense during a bankruptcy proceeding to only amounts that will be paid during the bankruptcy proceeding or that are probable of becoming allowed claims. The Company has not made any interest payments on its senior unsecured notes or its secured credit facility since the Chapter 11 Cases commenced on November 1, 2020.

Financial Statement Effect and Other Information

Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform

On March 12, 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) - Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or other reference rates expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. This ASU is effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company has not adopted any of the optional expedients or exceptions as of September 30, 2021, but will continue to evaluate the possible adoption of any such expedients or exceptions during the effective period to determine the impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Accounts Receivable

Receivables include amounts billed and currently due from tenants pursuant to lease agreements and receivables attributable to straight-line rents associated with those lease agreements. Individual leases where the collection of rents is in dispute are assessed for collectability based on management’s best estimate of collection considering the anticipated outcome of the dispute. Individual leases that are not in dispute are assessed for collectability and upon the determination that the collection of rents over the remaining lease term is not probable, accounts receivable are reduced as an adjustment to rental revenues. Revenue from leases where collection is deemed to be less than probable is recorded on a cash basis until collectability is determined to be probable. Further, management assesses whether operating lease receivables, at a portfolio level, are appropriately valued based upon an analysis of balances outstanding, historical collection levels and current economic trends. An allowance for the uncollectable portion of the portfolio is recorded as an adjustment to rental revenues. Management’s estimate of the collectability of accounts receivable from tenants is based on the best information available to management at the time of evaluation.

The duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the Company’s tenants’ ability to pay rents has caused uncertainty in the Company’s ongoing ability to collect rents when due. Considering the potential impact of these uncertainties, management’s collection assessment also took into consideration the type of retailer, billing disputes, lease negotiation status and executed deferral or abatement agreements, as well as recent rent collection experience and tenant bankruptcies based on the best information available to management at the time of evaluation. For the three months ended September 30, 2021 there was a reversal of $6,593 related to uncollectable revenues, which includes $2,635 related to straight line rent receivables. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, revenues were reduced by $13,771 associated with uncollectable revenues, which includes the write-off of $2,581 for straight line rent receivables. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, revenues were reduced by $8,362 and $54,463, respectively, associated with uncollectable revenues, which includes the write-off of $1,666 and $5,137, respectively, for straight line rent receivables.

Carrying Value of Long-Lived Assets and Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliates

The Company evaluates its real estate assets and investment in unconsolidated affiliates for impairment indicators whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of any of its long-lived assets or investment in unconsolidated affiliates may not be recoverable. Furthermore, this evaluation is conducted no less frequently than quarterly, irrespective of changes in circumstances. The prolonged outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in sustained closure of the Company’s properties for a period of time during 2020, as well as the cessation of the operations of certain of its tenants, which has resulted and will likely continue to result in a reduction in the revenues and cash flows of many of its properties due to the adverse financial impacts on its tenants, as well as reductions in other sources of income generated by its properties. In addition to reduced revenues, the Company’s ability to obtain sufficient financing for such properties may be impaired as well as its ability to lease or re-lease properties as a result of market and economic conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Table of Contents

As of September 30, 2021, the Company’s evaluation of impairment of real estate assets considered its estimate of cash flow declines caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, but its other assumptions, including estimated hold period, were generally unchanged given the highly uncertain environment. The worsening of estimated future cash flows due to a change in the Company’s plans, policies, or views of market and economic conditions as it relates to one or more of its properties adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic could result in the recognition of substantial impairment charges on its assets, which could adversely impact its financial results. For the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded impairment charges of $63,160 related to two malls, a redeveloped anchor parcel, an associated center and a parcel of land. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded impairment charges of $120,342 related to five malls, a redeveloped anchor parcel, an associated center and a parcel of land. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded impairment charges of $146,964 related to three malls. The Company did not record impairment during the three months ended September 30, 2020.

As of September 30, 2021, the Company’s estimates of fair value for each investment are based on a number of assumptions that are subject to economic and market uncertainties including, but not limited to, demand for space, competition for tenants, changes in market rental rates, and operating costs. Future declines in the fair value of the Company’s investments in unconsolidated affiliates, including those resulting from the adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the real estate assets owned by the unconsolidated affiliates, could result in the recognition of substantial impairment charges on its investments in unconsolidated affiliates to the extent such declines are determined to be other-than-temporary. No impairments of investments in unconsolidated affiliates were recorded in the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

Note 6 – Fair Value Measurements

The Company has categorized its financial assets and financial liabilities that are recorded at fair value into a hierarchy in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure, ("ASC 820") based on whether the inputs to valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. The fair value hierarchy contains three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value as follows:

Level 1 –	Inputs represent quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities as of the measurement date.
Level 2 –	Inputs, other than those included in Level 1, represent observable measurements for similar instruments in active markets, or identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and observable measurements or market data for instruments with substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3 –	Inputs represent unobservable measurements, supported by little, if any, market activity, and require considerable assumptions that are significant to the fair value of the asset or liability. Market valuations must often be determined using discounted cash flow methodologies, pricing models or similar techniques based on the Company’s assumptions and best judgment.

The asset or liability's fair value within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Under ASC 820, fair value measurements are determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability in an orderly transaction at the measurement date and under current market conditions. Valuation techniques used maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and consider assumptions such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions and risk of nonperformance.

Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable (including those included in liabilities subject to compromise) and accrued liabilities are reasonable estimates of their fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments. Based on the interest rates for similar financial instruments, the carrying value of mortgage and other notes receivable is a reasonable estimate of fair value. The estimated fair value of mortgage and other indebtedness was $941,801 and $1,091,745 at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The estimated fair value of the senior unsecured notes, the secured line of credit and the secured term loan included in liabilities subject to compromise was $2,042,994 and $1,606,959 at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The fair value was calculated using Level 2 inputs by discounting future cash flows for mortgage and other indebtedness using estimated market rates at which similar loans would be made currently.

Table of Contents

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company has continued to reinvest in U.S. Treasury securities using the cash that was drawn on the secured line of credit to preserve liquidity at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company designated the U.S. Treasury securities purchased as available-for-sale (“AFS”). The following table sets forth information regarding the Company’s AFS securities that were measured at fair value for the nine months ended September 30, 2021:

(1)	The U.S. Treasury securities have maturities through October 2021.

(2)

U.S Treasury securities have a long history with no credit losses. Additionally, the Company notes that U.S Treasury securities are explicitly fully guaranteed by a sovereign entity that can print its own currency and that the sovereign entity’s currency is routinely held by central banks and other major financial institutions, is used in international commerce, and commonly viewed as a reserve currency, all of which qualitatively indicate that historical credit loss information should be minimally affected by current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Therefore, the Company did not record expected credit losses for its U.S Treasury securities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Subsequent to September 30, 2021, the Company reinvested proceeds from matured U.S. Treasury securities into additional U.S. Treasury securities. See Note 15 for more information.

During March 2020, the Company purchased U.S. Treasury securities that were scheduled to mature between April 2021 and June 2021. The Company designated these securities as AFS. The fair value of these securities was calculated based on quoted market prices in active markets and are included in the Level 1 fair value hierarchy. The Company believes the market for U.S. Treasury securities is an actively traded market given the high level of daily trading volume. In December 2020, the Company purchased additional U.S Treasury securities. The U.S. Treasury securities purchased in December 2020 matured between January 2021 and March 2021, and the Company subsequently reinvested in additional U.S. Treasury securities. The Company also designated these as AFS. The following table sets forth information regarding the Company’s AFS securities that were measured at fair value for the year ended December 31, 2020:

Fair Value Measurements on a Nonrecurring Basis

The Company measures the fair value of certain long-lived assets on a nonrecurring basis, through quarterly impairment testing or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. The Company’s evaluation of the recoverability of long-lived assets involves the comparison of undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by each property over the Company’s expected remaining holding period to the respective carrying amount. The determination of whether the carrying value is recoverable also requires management to make estimates related to probability weighted scenarios impacting undiscounted cash flow models. The Company considers both quantitative and qualitative factors in its impairment analysis of long-lived assets. Significant quantitative factors include historical and forecasted information for each Property such as net operating income, occupancy statistics and sales levels. Significant qualitative factors used include market conditions, age and condition of the Property and tenant mix. The quantitative and qualitative factors impact the selection of the terminal capitalization rate which is used in both an undiscounted and discounted cash flow model and the discount rate used in a discounted cash flow model. Due to the significant unobservable estimates and assumptions used in the valuation of long-lived assets that experience impairment, the Company classifies such long-lived assets under Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Level 3 inputs primarily consist of sales and market data, independent valuations and discounted cash flow models. See below for a description of the estimates and assumptions the Company used in its impairment analysis. See Note 3 for additional information describing the Company's impairment review process.

In accordance with the Company's quarterly impairment process, the Company wrote down the book value of the mall to its estimated fair value of $10,700. The mall had experienced a decline in cash flows due to store closures and rent reductions. Management determined the fair value of Eastland Mall using a discounted cash flow methodology. The discounted cash flow used assumptions including a holding period of nine years, with a sale at the end of the holding period, a capitalization rate of 14.0% and a discount rate of 15.0%.

(2)

In accordance with the Company's quarterly impairment process, the Company wrote down the book value of the mall to its estimated fair value of $12,400. The mall had experienced a decline in cash flows due to store closures and rent reductions. Management determined the fair value of Old Hickory Mall using a discounted cash flow methodology. The discounted cash flow used assumptions including a holding period of nine years, with a sale at the end of the holding period, a capitalization rate of 13.0% and a discount rate of 14.0%.

(3)

In accordance with the Company's quarterly impairment process, the Company wrote down the book value of the mall to its estimated fair value of $15,400. The mall had experienced a decline in cash flows due to store closures and rent reductions. Management determined the fair value of Stroud Mall using a discounted cash flow methodology. The discounted cash flow used assumptions including a holding period of nine years, with a sale at the end of the holding period, a capitalization rate of 11.75% and a discount rate of 12.5%.

(4)	In July 2021, the Company sold an outparcel at The Landing at Arbor Place. Sales proceeds amounted to $590, which resulted in a loss on sale.

(5)

In accordance with the Company's quarterly impairment process, the Company wrote down the book value of the mall to its estimated fair value of $9,800. The mall had experienced a decline in cash flows due to store closures and rent reductions. Management determined the fair value of Laurel Park Place using a discounted cash flow methodology. The discounted cash flow used assumptions including a holding period of nine years, with a sale at the end of the holding period, a capitalization rate of 11.5% and a discount rate of 13.0%.

(6)

In accordance with the Company’s quarterly impairment process, the Company wrote down the book value of the mall, a redeveloped anchor parcel and an associated center adjacent to the mall to their aggregate estimated fair value of $50,500. The mall had experienced a decline in cash flows due to store closures and rent reductions. These factors resulted in a reduction of the expected hold period for the mall and associated center (excluding the redeveloped anchor parcel) based on Management’s assessment that there was an increased likelihood that the loan secured by the mall and associated center may not be successfully restructured or refinanced. Management determined the fair value of Parkdale Mall, Parkdale Crossing and Parkdale Anchor using a discounted cash flow methodology. The discounted cash flow used assumptions including a holding period of ten years, with a sale at the end of the holding period, a weighted-average capitalization rate of 12.3% and a weighted-average discount rate of 14.2%.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company adjusted the combined negative equity in Asheville Mall and Park Plaza to zero upon deconsolidation, which represents the estimated fair values of the Company’s investments in these properties. See Note 8 for additional information.

The mall had experienced a decline in cash flows due to store closures and rent reductions. These factors resulted in a reduction of the expected hold period for this asset based on Management’s assessment that there was an increased likelihood that the loan secured by the mall may not be successfully restructured or refinanced. Management determined the fair value of Asheville Mall using a discounted cash flow methodology. The discounted cash flow used assumptions including a holding period of ten years, with a sale at the end of the holding period, a capitalization rate of 13.25% and a discount rate of 14.0%.

Note 8 – Unconsolidated Affiliates and Noncontrolling Interests

Unconsolidated Affiliates

Although the Company had majority ownership of certain joint ventures during 2021 and 2020, it evaluated the investments and concluded that the other partners or owners in these joint ventures had substantive participating rights, such as approvals of:

•

the pro forma for the development and construction of the project and any material deviations or modifications thereto;

•

the site plan and any material deviations or modifications thereto;

•

the conceptual design of the project and the initial plans and specifications for the project and any material deviations or modifications thereto;

At September 30, 2021, the Company had investments in 31 entities, which are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. The Company's ownership interest in these unconsolidated affiliates ranges from 20% to 100%. Of these entities, 17 are owned in 50/50 joint ventures.

2021 Activity - Unconsolidated Affiliates

Ambassador Infrastructure, LLC

The Company reached an agreement with the lender to modify the loan secured by Ambassador Infrastructure. The agreement provides an additional four-year term with a fixed interest rate of 3.0%. The extended loan, maturing in March 2025, had an outstanding balance of $8,250 at September 30, 2021, as $1,110 was paid down in conjunction with the modification. Additionally, the agreement provides a waiver related to the default triggered as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases, which became effective when the Debtors emerged from bankruptcy on November 1, 2021.

Asheville Mall CMBS, LLC and Park Plaza Mall CMBS, LLC

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company deconsolidated Asheville Mall and Park Plaza as a result of the Company losing control of these properties when each was placed in receivership as part of the foreclosure process. The Company evaluated the loss of control of each property and determined that it was no longer the primary beneficiary of the respective wholly owned subsidiaries that own these properties. As a result, the Company adjusted the combined negative equity in the two entities to zero, which represents the estimated fair value of the Company’s investments in these properties, and recognized a gain on deconsolidation of $55,131.

In October 2021, the foreclosure of Park Plaza was completed.

Continental 425 Fund LLC

In July 2021, Continental 425 Fund LLC reached an agreement with the lender to amend to the construction loan secured by Springs at Port Orange, which extends the term of the note to December 31, 2021, increases the principal amount of the loan to $44,400, or $19,314 at the Company’s share, and provides an interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.0%. Continental 425 Fund LLC distributed $4,349 to the Company for its share of the net proceeds from the increase in the principal amount of the loan.

Port Orange I, LLC

In March 2021, the Company reached an agreement with the lender to modify the loan secured by The Pavilion at Port Orange. The agreement provides an additional four-year term, with a one-year extension option, for a fully extended maturity date of February 2026. Additionally, the agreement provides forbearance related to the default triggered as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases, which became effective when the Debtors emerged from bankruptcy on November 1, 2021. This loan had an outstanding balance of $51,998 at September 30, 2021.

Shoppes at Eagle Point, LLC

Subsequent to September 30, 2021, the loan secured by The Shoppes at Eagle Point was extended for one year with a new maturity date of October 2022. See Note 15.

West Melbourne I, LLC

In March 2021, the Company reached agreements with the lender to modify the loans secured by Hammock Landing Phases I & II. Each agreement provides an additional four-year term, with a one-year extension option, for a fully extended maturity date of February 2026. Additionally, the agreements provide forbearance related to the default triggered as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases, which became effective when the Debtors emerged from bankruptcy on November 1, 2021. These loans had a combined outstanding loan balance of $53,360 at September 30, 2021.

Impact of Chapter 11 Proceedings

As described in Note 2, the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases also constituted an event of default with respect to certain property-level debt of the Operating Partnership’s unconsolidated affiliates, which may have resulted in automatic acceleration of certain monetary obligations or may give the applicable lender the right to accelerate such amounts. The unconsolidated affiliates entered forbearance and waiver agreements with many of the lenders, which waived defaults due to bankruptcy upon the Plan becoming effective. The Company remains in negotiations with lenders regarding loan extensions and loan defaults of the unconsolidated affiliates where a forbearance and/or waiver agreement have not been reached, and those loans have an aggregate outstanding balance of $622,959 at September 30, 2021.

Variable Interest Entities

The Operating Partnership and certain of its subsidiaries are deemed to have the characteristics of a VIE primarily because the limited partners of these entities do not collectively possess substantive kick-out or participating rights.

The Company consolidates the Operating Partnership, which is a VIE, for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company, through the Operating Partnership, consolidates all VIEs for which it is the primary beneficiary. Generally, a VIE is a legal entity in which the equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or the equity investors lack sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. A limited partnership is considered a VIE when the majority of the limited partners unrelated to the general partner possess neither the right to remove the general partner without cause, nor certain rights to participate in the decisions that most significantly affect the financial results of the partnership. In determining whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, the Company considers qualitative and quantitative factors, including, but not limited to: which activities most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and which party controls such activities; the amount and characteristics of the Company's investment; the obligation or likelihood for the Company or other investors to provide financial support; and the similarity with and significance to the Company's business activities and the business activities of the other investors.

Consolidated VIEs

As of September 30, 2021, the Company had investments in 12 consolidated VIEs with ownership interests ranging from 50% to 92%.

Table of Contents

Pre-Emergence Senior Secured Credit Facility

As of September 30, 2021, the Company had a $1,185,000 senior secured credit facility, which included a revolving line of credit drawn to its maximum borrowing capacity of $675,926 and a term loan with an outstanding balance of $438,750. As further described in Note 2 and in Pre-Emergence Financial Covenants and Restrictions below, the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases constituted an event of default that resulted in certain monetary obligations becoming immediately due and payable with respect to the secured credit facility. In March 2020, the Company drew $280,000 on its secured credit facility to increase liquidity and preserve financial flexibility in light of the uncertainty surrounding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of the events of default described under Pre-Emergence Financial Covenants and Restrictions below, the Operating Partnership could not borrow any additional amounts under the secured line of credit.

As of September 30, 2021, the secured credit facility was secured by 17 malls and 3 associated centers that are owned by 36 wholly owned subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership (collectively the “Combined Guarantor Subsidiaries”). The Combined Guarantor Subsidiaries own an additional four malls, two associated centers and four mortgage notes receivable that are not collateral for the secured credit facility. The properties that are collateral for the secured credit facility and the properties and mortgage notes receivable that are not collateral are collectively referred to as the “Guarantor Properties.” The terms of the Notes provided that, to the extent that any subsidiary of the Operating Partnership executes and delivers a guarantee to another debt facility, the Operating Partnership shall also cause the subsidiary to guarantee the Operating Partnership’s obligations under the Notes on a senior basis.

See Liquidity and Going Concern Considerations and Voluntary Reorganization under Chapter 11 in Note 2 for information on the Debtors emergence from the Chapter 11 Cases and the transactions associated with the Plan.

Pre-Emergence Financial Covenants and Restrictions

The agreements for the Notes and senior secured credit facility contained default provisions customary for transactions of this nature (with applicable customary grace periods). Any default in the payment of any recourse indebtedness of the Operating Partnership greater than or equal to $50,000 would constitute an event of default under the Notes and the senior secured credit facility. Additionally, the secured credit facility contained a provision that any default on a payment of non-recourse indebtedness in excess of $150,000 was also a default of the senior secured credit facility.

The filing of the Chapter 11 Cases constituted an event of default that resulted in certain monetary obligations becoming immediately due and payable with respect to the secured credit facility and the senior unsecured notes. The filing of the Chapter 11 Cases also constituted an event of default with respect to certain property-level debt of the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries, which may result in acceleration of the outstanding principal and other sums due.

Certain of the Company’s properties that are pledged as collateral on non-recourse mortgage loans and the secured credit facility are subject to cash management agreements with the lenders, which restrict the cash balances associated with those properties to only be used for debt service, capital items and operating expense obligations.

Loans in Default

As of September 30, 2021, two non-recourse loans that are each secured by one of the Company’s malls were in default. The default of the two non-recourse loans occurred prior to the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases. As of September 2021, the lenders under each of these loans accelerated the outstanding amounts due and payable on the loans. The foreclosure process has not yet commenced for EastGate Mall. The Company is in discussions with the lender regarding a restructure of the loan secured by Greenbrier Mall. Management has previously impaired the mall that secures each loan due to a shortened expected hold period resulting from management’s assessment that there is an increased likelihood that the loan secured by each mall may not be successfully restructured or refinanced. The non-recourse loans that are in default at September 30, 2021 are as follows:

Property	Location	Interest Rate	Scheduled Maturity Date	Loan Amount
Greenbrier Mall	Chesapeake, VA	5.41%	Dec-19	$	61,647
EastGate Mall	Cincinnati, OH	5.83%	Apr-21		30,117

As described in Note 2, the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases also constituted an event of default with respect to certain property-level debt of the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries, which may have resulted in the automatic acceleration of certain monetary obligations or may give the applicable lender the right to accelerate such amounts. The Company entered forbearance and waiver agreements with many of the lenders, which waived defaults due to bankruptcy upon the Plan becoming effective. The Company remains in negotiations with lenders regarding loan extensions and loan defaults where a forbearance and/or waiver agreement have not been reached, and those loans have an aggregate outstanding balance of $727,603 at September 30, 2021.

On May 26, 2021, the subsidiary that owns The Outlet Shoppes at Laredo filed for bankruptcy. In September 2021,

Table of Contents

the Company reached an agreement with the lender to amend the loan secured by The Outlet Shoppes at Laredo and dismiss the bankruptcy case. The loan term was extended through June 2023 and contains a one-year extension option.

In conjunction with the deconsolidation of Asheville Mall and Park Plaza, the Company deconsolidated the loan securing each property, which represented $138,926 of previously consolidated debt. See Note 8 for additional information.

Pre-Emergence Scheduled Principal Payments

Note 11 – Earnings per Share and Earnings per Unit

Earnings per Share of the Company

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS assumes the issuance of common stock for all potential dilutive common shares outstanding. The limited partners’ rights to convert their noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership into shares of common stock are not dilutive. There were no potential dilutive common shares and there were no anti-dilutive shares for the three- and nine- month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

Earnings per Unit of the Operating Partnership

Basic earnings per unit (“EPU”) is computed using the two-class method. The two-class method is required when either (i) participating securities or (ii) multiple classes of common stock exists. The Operating Partnership’s special common units, and common units issued upon the conversion or redemption of special common units, meet the definition of participating securities as these units have the contractual right and obligation to share in the Operating Partnership’s net income (loss) and distributions. Under this approach net income (loss) attributable to common unitholders is reduced by the amount of distributions made (declared) to all common unitholders and by the amount of distributions that are required to be made (declared and undeclared) to special common unitholders. Distributed and undistributed earnings is subsequently divided by the weighted-average number of common and special common units outstanding for the period to compute basic EPU for each unit. Undistributed losses are allocated 100 percent to common units, other than common units issued upon the conversion or redemption of special common units. The special common units, and common units issued upon the conversion or redemption of special common units, only participate in undistributed losses in the event of a liquidation. Diluted EPU is computed by considering either the two-class method or the if-converted method, whichever results in more dilution. The if-converted method assumes the issuance of common units for all potential dilutive special common units outstanding. Due to the loss position (negative earnings) of the Operating Partnership for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 all special common units, and common units issued upon the conversion or redemption of special common units, are antidilutive. The calculation of diluted EPU through the if-converted method would reduce the loss per share (as a result of an increased number of shares in the denominator) for the common units. Therefore, in a loss position diluted EPU is equal to basic EPU. There were no potential dilutive common units and there were no anti-dilutive units other than the special common units, and common units issued upon the conversion or redemption of special common units, outstanding for the three- and nine- month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

Shareholders’ Equity and Partners’ Capital and Note 11. Redeemable Interests and Noncontrolling Interests of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. Pursuant to the terms of the Series L special common units of limited partnership interest, the Series L special common units began receiving distributions equal to those on the common units beginning on June 1, 2020. The undeclared distributions on the preferred units and special common units ceased to cumulate as of the Commencement Date as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases.

Common Unit Activity

In September 2021, the Company issued 1,193,978 shares of common stock to a holder of 622,278 common units and 571,700 special common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership in connection with the exercise of the holders’ contractual exchange rights. This transaction resulted in the remaining Series L special common units being redeemed.

Note 12 – Contingencies

Securities Litigation

The Company and certain of its officers and directors were named as defendants in three putative securities class action lawsuits (collectively, the “Securities Class Action Litigation”), each filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee, on behalf of all persons who purchased or otherwise acquired the Company’s securities during a specified period of time. Those cases were consolidated on July 17, 2019, under the caption In re CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. Securities Litigation, 1:19-cv-00149-JRG-CHS, and a consolidated amended complaint was filed on November 5, 2019, seeking to represent a class of purchasers from July 29, 2014 through March 26, 2019.

The operative complaint filed in the Securities Class Action Litigation alleges violations of the securities laws, including, among other things, that the defendants made certain materially false and misleading statements and omissions regarding the Company’s contingent liabilities, business, operations, and prospects during the periods of time specified above. The plaintiffs seek compensatory damages and attorneys’ fees and costs, among other relief, but have not specified the amount of damages sought. The defendants moved to dismiss all claims on December 20, 2019, and that motion remains pending. On November 2, 2021, the defendants filed a proposed supplemental motion to dismiss brief, arguing that the Company should be dismissed as a defendant in the case because the Plan and related confirmation order discharge any claims against the Company and enjoin the plaintiffs from taking any further action against the Company. The proposed supplemental motion to dismiss brief also argued that the operative complaint fails to state a viable claim against any individual defendant. The outcome of these legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty. A notice of suggestion of bankruptcy was filed by the Company in this litigation on November 9, 2020.

Certain of the Company’s current and former directors and officers were named as defendants in nine shareholder derivative lawsuits (collectively, the “Derivative Litigation”). On June 4, 2019, a shareholder filed a putative derivative complaint captioned Robert Garfield v. Stephen D. Lebovitz et al., 1:19-cv-01038-LPS, in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (the “Garfield Derivative Action”), purportedly on behalf of the Company against certain of its officers and directors. On June 24, 2019, September 5, 2019 and September 25, 2019, respectively, other shareholders filed three additional putative derivative complaints, each in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, captioned as follows: Robert Cohen v. Stephen D. Lebovitz et al., 1:19-cv-01185-LPS (the “Cohen Derivative Action”); Travis Lore v. Stephen D. Lebovitz et al., 1:19-cv-01665-LPS (the “Lore Derivative Action”), and City of Gainesville Cons. Police Officers’ and Firefighters Retirement Plan v. Stephen D. Lebovitz et al., 1:19-cv-01800 (the “Gainesville Derivative Action”), each asserting substantially similar claims purportedly on behalf of the Company against similar defendants. The Court consolidated the Garfield Derivative Action and the Cohen Derivative Action on July 17, 2019, under the caption In re CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. Derivative Litigation, 1:19-cv-01038-LPS (the "Consolidated Derivative Action"). On July 25, 2019, the Court stayed proceedings in the Consolidated Derivative Action pending resolution of an eventual motion to dismiss in the Securities Class Action Litigation. On October 14, 2019, the parties to the Gainesville Derivative Action and the Lore Derivative Action filed a joint stipulation and proposed order confirming that each of those cases is subject to the consolidation order previously entered by the Court in the Consolidated Derivative Action and that further proceedings in those cases are stayed pending resolution of an eventual motion to dismiss in the Securities Class Action Litigation. On July 22, 2019, a shareholder filed a putative derivative complaint captioned Shebitz v. Lebovitz et al., 1:19-cv-00213, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee (the “Shebitz Derivative Action”); on January 10, 2020, a shareholder filed a putative derivative complaint captioned Chatman v. Lebovitz, et al., 2020-0011-JTL, in the Delaware Chancery Court (the “Chatman Derivative Action”); on February 12, 2020, a shareholder filed a putative derivative complaint captioned Kurup v. Lebovitz, et al., 2020-0070-JTL, in the Delaware Chancery Court (the “Kurup Derivative Action”); on February 26, 2020, a shareholder filed a putative derivative complaint captioned Kemmer v. Lebovitz, et al., 1:20-cv-00052, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee (the “Kemmer Derivative Action”); and on April 14, 2020, a shareholder filed a putative derivative complaint captioned Hebig v. Lebovitz, et al., 1:19-cv-00149-JRG-CHS, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee (the “Hebig Derivative Action”), each asserting substantially similar claims purportedly on behalf of the Company against similar defendants. The actions pending in Delaware Chancery Court have been consolidated into one case, and likewise, the actions pending in Delaware federal court have been consolidated into one case. The Tennessee actions have not been consolidated, but have been stayed.

Table of Contents

The complaints filed in the Derivative Litigation allege, among other things, breaches of fiduciary duties, unjust enrichment, waste of corporate assets, and violations of the federal securities laws. The factual allegations upon which these claims are based are similar to the factual allegations made in the Securities Class Action Litigation, described above. The complaints filed in the Derivative Litigation seek, among other things, unspecified damages and restitution for the Company from the individual defendants, the payment of costs and attorneys’ fees, and that the Company be directed to reform certain governance and internal procedures. The outcome of these legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty. A notice of suggestion of bankruptcy was filed by the Company in this litigation on November 9, 2020, and the Court in the various Delaware actions entered an order staying these matters in light of the Suggestion of Bankruptcy, as did the Court in the Tennessee actions. Pursuant to the Plan, all of the derivative claims have now been released by the Company and its bankruptcy estate. The Company intends to seek dismissal of the Derivative Litigation based upon those releases.

All stays resulting from the Suggestion of Bankruptcy expired on November 1, 2021 when the Plan became effective.

The Company's insurance carriers have been placed on notice of these matters.

The Company is currently involved in certain other litigation that arises in the ordinary course of business, most of which is expected to be covered by liability insurance. Management makes assumptions and estimates concerning the likelihood and amount of any potential loss relating to these matters using the latest information available. The Company records a liability for litigation if an unfavorable outcome is probable and the amount of loss or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. If an unfavorable outcome is probable and a reasonable estimate of the loss is a range, the Company accrues the best estimate within the range. If no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, the Company accrues the minimum amount within the range. If an unfavorable outcome is probable but the amount of the loss cannot be reasonably estimated, the Company discloses the nature of the litigation and indicates that an estimate of the loss or range of loss cannot be made. If an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible and the estimated loss is material, the Company discloses the nature and estimate of the possible loss of the litigation. Based on current expectations, such matters, both individually and in the aggregate, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the liquidity, results of operations, business or financial condition of the Company.

Environmental Contingencies

The Company evaluates potential loss contingencies related to environmental matters using the same criteria described above related to litigation matters. Based on current information, an unfavorable outcome concerning such environmental matters, both individually and in the aggregate, is considered to be reasonably possible. However, the Company believes its maximum potential exposure to loss would not be material to its results of operations or financial condition. The Company has a master insurance policy that provides coverage through 2022 for certain environmental claims up to $10,000 per occurrence and up to $50,000 in the aggregate, subject to deductibles and certain exclusions. At certain locations, individual policies are in place.

Guarantees

The Operating Partnership may guarantee the debt of a joint venture primarily because it allows the joint venture to obtain funding at a lower cost than could be obtained otherwise. This results in a higher return for the joint venture on its investment, and a higher return on the Operating Partnership's investment in the joint venture. The Operating Partnership may receive a fee from the joint venture for providing the guaranty. Additionally, when the Operating Partnership issues a guaranty, the terms of the joint venture agreement typically provide that the Operating Partnership may receive indemnification from the joint venture partner or have the ability to increase its ownership interest. The guarantees expire upon repayment of the debt, unless noted otherwise.

Table of Contents

The following table represents the Operating Partnership's guarantees of unconsolidated affiliates' debt as reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

(1)	Excludes any extension options.

(2)	These loans have a one-year extension option at the joint venture’s election.

(3)	The guaranty is for a fixed amount of $12,740 throughout the term of the loan, including any extensions. Subsequent to September 30, 2021, the joint venture exercised the one-year extension option on the loan for an extended maturity date of October 2022. See Note 15.

(4)	Subject to the bankruptcy default being waived, the guaranty may be reduced to 25% once certain debt and operational metrics are met.

(5)	The guaranty was increased to 100% as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases filed by the Company.

As described in Note 2, the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases also constituted an event of default with respect to certain property-level debt of the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries, which may have resulted in automatic acceleration of certain monetary obligations or may give the applicable lender the right to accelerate such amounts. As of September 30, 2021, there is a default under each of the following guaranteed loans as a result of the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases: EastGate Storage, LLC; Self Storage at Mid Rivers, LLC; Parkdale Self Storage, LLC; Hamilton Place Self Storage, LLC and Atlanta Outlet JV, LLC. As of the Effective Date, the default related to each loan was waived.

The Company has guaranteed the lease performance of York Town Center, LP ("YTC"), an unconsolidated affiliate in which the Company owns a 50% interest, under the terms of an agreement with a third party that owns property as part of York Town Center. Under the terms of that agreement, YTC is obligated to cause performance of the third party’s obligations as landlord under its lease with its sole tenant, including, but not limited to, provisions such as co-tenancy and exclusivity requirements. Should YTC fail to cause performance, then the tenant under the third-party landlord’s lease may pursue certain remedies ranging from rights to terminate its lease to receiving reductions in rent. The Company has guaranteed YTC’s performance under this agreement up to a maximum of $10,000. The Company entered into an agreement with its joint venture partner under which the joint venture partner has agreed to reimburse the Company 50% of any amounts it is obligated to fund under the guaranty. The Company did not record a credit loss related to this guaranty for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, the Company evaluated each guaranty, listed in the table above, individually by evaluating the debt service ratio, cash flow forecasts, the performance of each loan and, where applicable, the collateral value in relation to the outstanding amount of the loan. The result of the analysis was that each loan is current, performing and, where applicable, the collateral value was greater than the outstanding amount of the loan. The Company did not record a credit loss related to the guarantees listed in the table above for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020.

Note 13 – Share-Based Compensation

As of September 30, 2021, the Company has outstanding awards under the CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. 2012 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2012 Plan"), which was approved by the Company's shareholders in May 2012. The 2012 Plan permits the Company to issue stock options and common stock to selected officers, employees and non-employee directors of the Company up to a total of 10,400,000 shares. As the primary operating subsidiary of the Company, the Operating Partnership participates in and bears the compensation expense associated with the Company's share-based compensation plan. The compensation committee of the board of directors administers the 2012 Plan. As of the Effective Date and pursuant to the Plan, all nonvested restricted stock was deemed vested and the 2012 Plan was terminated. See Note 2 for more information regarding the EIP.

Pre-Emergence Restricted Stock Awards

Share-based compensation expense related to the restricted stock awards was $241 and $375 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively; and $784 and $1,880 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Share-based compensation cost capitalized as part of real estate assets was $2 and $4 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively; and, $8 and $16 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

A summary of the status of the Company’s nonvested restricted stock awards as of September 30, 2021, and changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, is presented below:

	Shares			Weighted- Average Grant-Date Fair Value
Nonvested at January 1, 2021		1,519,606		$	2.15
Granted		—		$	—
Vested		(480,463	)	$	3.11
Forfeited		(23,581	)	$	2.73
Nonvested at September 30, 2021		1,015,562		$	1.69

As of September 30, 2021, there was $1,083 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock awards granted under the plans, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.7 years.

Pre-Emergence Long-Term Incentive Program

A summary of the Company’s long-term incentive program (“LTIP”) is disclosed in Note 18 to the consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. Outstanding restricted stock, and related grant/vesting/forfeiture activity during 2021 for awards made to named executive officers under the LTIP, is included in the information presented in the table above.

Pre-Emergence Performance Stock Units

There were no performance stock units (“PSUs”) granted in 2021. The 1,103,537 outstanding PSUs at September 30, 2021 were granted in the first quarter of 2019. Of that amount, 566,862 PSUs are classified as a liability due to the potential cash component, which is described in the summary of the Company’s LTIP program set forth in Note 18 to the consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. None of the PSUs outstanding at September 30, 2021 were vested. As of the Effective Date and pursuant to the Plan, all outstanding PSUs were deemed cancelled.

Compensation cost is recognized on a tranche-by-tranche basis using the accelerated attribution method. The resulting expense, for awards classified as equity, is recorded regardless of whether any PSU awards are earned as long as the required service period is met.

Share-based compensation expense related to the PSUs was $94 and $2,410 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively; and $283 and $2,828 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Unrecognized compensation costs related to the PSUs was $264 as of September 30, 2021, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.5 years.

Note 15 – Subsequent Events

In October 2021, Brookfield Square Anchor S, LLC (the “Brookfield Debtor”) filed for bankruptcy. For avoidance of doubt, the Plan and the disclosures related thereto in this quarterly report do not apply with respect to the Brookfield Debtor, which remains a debtor-in-possession and was not subject to the Plan.

In October 2021, the Company completed the sale of the Residences at Pearland Town Center for $8,750.

In October 2021, the foreclosure of Park Plaza was completed.

ITEM 2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes that are included in this Form 10-Q. Capitalized terms used, but not defined, in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations have the same meanings as defined in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements. In this discussion, the terms “we,” “us” and “our” refer to the Company or the Company and the Operating Partnership collectively, as the text requires.

Certain statements made in this section or elsewhere in this report may be deemed “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. All statements other than statements of historical fact should be considered to be forward-looking statements. In many cases, these forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as “will,” “may,” “should,” “could,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “projects,” “goals,” “objectives,” “targets,” “predicts,” “plans,” “seeks,” and variations of these words and similar expressions. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the factors discussed throughout this report.

Although we believe the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or results and we can give no assurance that these expectations will be attained. It is possible that actual results may differ materially from those indicated by these forward-looking statements due to a variety of known and unknown risks and uncertainties. Currently, a significant factor that could cause actual outcomes to differ materially from our forward-looking statements is the adverse effect of the COVID-19 pandemic, and state and/or local regulatory responses to control it, on our financial condition, operating results and cash flows, our tenants and their customers, the real estate market in which we operate, the global economy and the financial markets. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts us and our tenants will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic, the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, and potential changes in consumer behavior, among others. Further, there is a risk that both the Company and its tenants could experience future adverse impacts in complying with governmental COVID-19 vaccine mandates applicable to their respective workforces. In addition to the risk factors described in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, such known risks and uncertainties, many of which may be influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic, include, without limitation:

•

general industry, economic and business conditions;

•

interest rate fluctuations;

•

costs and availability of capital, including debt, and capital requirements;

•

costs and availability of real estate;

•

inability to consummate acquisition opportunities and other risks associated with acquisitions;

•

competition from other companies and retail formats;

•

changes in retail demand and rental rates in our markets;

•

shifts in customer demands including the impact of online shopping;

•

tenant bankruptcies or store closings;

•

changes in vacancy rates at our properties;

•

changes in operating expenses;

•

changes in applicable laws, rules and regulations;

•

disposition of real property;

•

uncertainty and economic impact of pandemics, epidemics or other public health emergencies or fear of such events, such as the recent COVID-19 pandemic and related governmental responses, such as the potential impacts of complying with any governmental vaccine mandates applicable to us or our tenants;

•

cyber-attacks or acts of cyber-terrorism;

•

the ability to obtain suitable equity and/or debt financing and the continued availability of financing, in the amounts and on the terms necessary to support our future refinancing requirements and business; and

•

other risks referenced from time to time in filings with the SEC and those factors listed or incorporated by reference into this report.

Table of Contents

This list of risks and uncertainties is only a summary and is not intended to be exhaustive. We disclaim any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect actual results or changes in the factors affecting the forward-looking information.

Executive Overview

We are a self-managed, self-administered, fully integrated REIT that is engaged in the ownership, development, acquisition, leasing, management and operation of regional shopping malls, open-air and mixed-use centers, outlet centers, associated centers, community centers, office and other properties. See Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for information on our property interests as of September 30, 2021. We have elected to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization classified COVID-19 as a pandemic. Due to the extraordinary governmental actions taken to contain COVID-19, we are unable to predict the full extent of the pandemic’s impact on our results of operations for 2021. As a result, we did not issue full-year 2021 guidance.

In response to COVID-19, we implemented strict procedures and guidelines for our employees, tenants and property visitors based on CDC and other health agency recommendations. Our properties continue to update these policies and procedures, following any new mandates and regulations, as required. The safety and health of our customers, employees and tenants remains a top priority.

While our financial and operating results for the third quarter continue to reflect the ongoing impact of COVID-19, we saw encouraging improvements in sales and traffic at our centers as vaccination rates increased and government restrictions were lessened, but uncertainty remains as variants of the virus cause further outbreaks. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, same-center sales increased more than 16% as compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2019, which, if sustained, bodes well for future leasing efforts. Percentage rents and short-term rents increased significantly during the quarter as a result of the sales rebound. Improvements in the leasing environment, including increasing tenant demand and lower bankruptcy-related store closures, drove healthy occupancy growth as new leases signed year-to-date took occupancy. During the third quarter of 2021, we achieved our first quarter of year-over-year occupancy growth since the first quarter of 2019. Lease spreads also improved from prior quarters. Additionally, we have held expenses in check despite inflation pressures.

The mandated property closures in 2020 resulted in nearly all our tenants closing for a period of time and/or shortening operating hours. As a result, we experienced an increased level of requests for rent deferrals and abatements, as well as defaults on rent obligations. While, in general, we believe that tenants have a clear contractual obligation to pay rent, we have been working with our tenants to address rent deferral and abatement requests. The majority of these requests were addressed in 2020 and new requests for deferrals or abatements have slowed as sales and traffic rebound. We have granted rent deferrals of $45.9 million since the COVID-19 pandemic began. We also granted rent abatements of approximately $2.7 million and $12.1 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively.

As discussed under Voluntary Reorganization under Chapter 11 below, the Debtors commenced the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases. The filing of the Chapter 11 Cases constituted an event of default that resulted in certain monetary obligations becoming immediately due and payable with respect to the secured credit facility and the senior unsecured notes. The filing of the Chapter 11 Cases also constituted an event of default with respect to certain property-level debt of the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries, which may result in acceleration of the outstanding principal and other sums due. See Note 8 and Note 9 for additional information.

We had a net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 of $42.9 million and $80.7 million, as compared to a net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 of $44.4 million and $256.5 million, respectively. We recorded a net loss attributable to common shareholders for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 of $41.7 million and $77.4 million, as compared to a net loss attributable to common shareholders for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 of $54.1 million and $269.4 million, respectively. In addition to the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, significant items that affected the comparability between the three and nine-month periods include:

•

Loss on impairment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 that is $63.1 million higher and $26.6 million lower, respectively;

•

Gain on deconsolidation of $55.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021;

•

Interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 that is $42.1 million and $95.3 million lower, respectively;

•

Gain on extinguishment of debt of $15.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020;

•

Reorganization items for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 of $12.0 million and $52.0 million, respectively;

•

Gain on sales of real estate assets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 that is $8.7 million and $5.8 million higher, respectively;

•

Income tax benefit (provision) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 that is $1.8 million and $17.0 million lower, respectively.

Our focus is on continuing to execute our strategy to transform our properties into suburban town centers, primarily through the re-tenanting of former anchor locations as well as diversification of in-line tenancy. This operational strategy is also supported by our balance sheet strategy focused on reducing overall debt, extending our debt maturity schedule and lowering our overall cost of borrowings to limit maturity risk, improve net cash flow and enhance enterprise value. While the industry and our Company continue to face challenges, some of which may not be within our control, we believe that the strategies in place to redevelop our properties and diversify our tenant mix will contribute to stabilization of our portfolio and revenues in future years.

Same-center NOI and FFO are non-GAAP measures. For a description of same-center NOI, a reconciliation from net income (loss) to same-center NOI, and an explanation of why we believe this is a useful performance measure, see Non-GAAP Measure - Same-center Net Operating Income in Results of Operations. For a description of FFO, a reconciliation from net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders to FFO allocable to Operating Partnership common unitholders, and an explanation of why we believe this is a useful performance measure, see Non-GAAP Measure - Funds from Operations.

Voluntary Reorganization under Chapter 11

On August 18, 2020, we entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement, (the “Original RSA”) with certain beneficial owners and/or investment advisors or managers of discretionary funds, accounts or other entities for the holders of beneficial owners (the “Consenting Noteholders”) representing in excess of 62%, including joining noteholders pursuant to joinder agreements, of the aggregate principal amount of the $450,000 of senior unsecured notes issued by the Operating Partnership in November 2013 that bear interest at 5.25% and mature on December 1, 2023 (the “2023 Notes”), the $300,000 of senior unsecured notes issued by the Operating Partnership in October 2014 that bear interest at 4.60% and mature on October 15, 2024 (the “2024 Notes”) and the $625,000 of senior unsecured notes issued by the Operating Partnership in December 2016 and September 2017 that bear interest at 5.95% and mature on December 15, 2026 (the “2026 Notes” and, collectively with the 2023 Notes and 2024 Notes, the "Notes").

On November 1, 2021 (the “Effective Date”), the conditions to effectiveness of the Plan were satisfied and the Debtors emerged from the Chapter 11 Cases. We filed a notice of the Effective Date of the Plan with the Bankruptcy Court on November 1, 2021. See Note 2 for more information.

Liquidity and Going Concern Considerations

In accordance with the accounting guidance related to the presentation of financial statements, when preparing financial statements for each annual and interim reporting period, management evaluates whether there are conditions or events that, when considered in the aggregate, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. In making its assessment, management considered our current financial condition and liquidity sources, as well as the status of the Chapter 11 Cases.

As a result of our financial condition and the near-term maturities of substantial indebtedness, substantial doubt existed as of September 30, 2021 that we would be able to continue as a going concern.

Table of Contents

On August 11, 2021, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order confirming the Plan which became effective after the close of business on November 1, 2021. Under the principles of fresh-start reporting, a new reporting entity (the “Successor”) will have approximately $1.3 billion of property-level debt and related obligations maturing or callable within the next 12 months of the Effective Date, which represents approximately 25-35% of projected annual operating cash flows of the Successor.

We have prepared our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern. The financial statements do not reflect any adjustments related to the recoverability of assets and satisfaction of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Results of Operations

Properties that were in operation for the entire year during 2020 and the nine months ended September 30, 2021 are referred to as the “Comparable Properties.” Since January 1, 2020, we have opened two self-storage facilities, deconsolidated two properties and disposed of two properties:

Properties Opened

Property	Location	Date Opened
Parkdale Mall – Self Storage ⁽¹⁾	Beaumont, TX	April 2020
Hamilton Place – Self Storage ⁽¹⁾	Chattanooga, TN	July 2020

Deconsolidations

Property	Location	Date of Deconsolidation
Asheville Mall ⁽¹⁾	Asheville, NC	January 2021
Park Plaza ⁽¹⁾	Little Rock, AR	March 2021

(1)	We deconsolidated the property due to a loss of control when the property was placed into receivership in connection with the foreclosure process.

Dispositions

Rental revenues from the Comparable Properties increased primarily due to a significantly higher estimate of uncollectable revenues in the prior year period due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as prior year rent concessions to tenants in bankruptcy or that are struggling financially due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Percentage rent increased due to higher sales in the current period as sales and traffic have improved as vaccination rates increased and government restrictions were lessened.

Property operating expenses at the Comparable Properties increased primarily due to lessening restrictions that allowed for the reopening of properties related to the COVID-19 pandemic and the actions taken in the prior year period to reduce operating expenses to mitigate the impact of mandated property closures and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including a reduction-in-force and other operating expense initiatives.

The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense related to the Comparable Properties primarily relates to a lower basis in depreciable assets resulting from impairments recorded since the prior-year period.

General and administrative expenses decreased primarily due to prepetition professional and legal fees incurred in the prior-year period related to our restructuring efforts. Professional and legal fees, as well as other costs, incurred in the current period related to our restructuring efforts are recorded in Reorganization items in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

In the third quarter of 2021, we recognized $63.2 million of loss on impairment of real estate to write down the book value of two malls, a redeveloped anchor parcel, an associated center and an outparcel. See Note 6 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for more information.

Other Income and Expenses

Interest expense decreased $42.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the prior-year period primarily due to not recognizing interest expense on the senior unsecured notes and the secured credit facility subsequent to the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases. The decrease was partially offset by an increase of default interest expense related to property-level non-recourse loans that are in default, which may not be payable depending on the outcome of negotiations with the lenders. In accordance with ASC 852, which limits the recognition of interest expense during a bankruptcy proceeding to only amounts that will be paid during the bankruptcy proceeding or that are probable of becoming allowed claims, interest was not accrued on the secured credit facility or the senior unsecured notes subsequent to the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases. See Note 2 for more information on our emergence from the Chapter 11 Cases.

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded a $15.4 million gain on extinguishment of debt related to Hickory Point Mall, which we transferred to the lender in satisfaction of the non-recourse debt secured by that property.

For the three months ended September 30, 2021 we recorded $12.0 million of reorganization items, which consists of professional fees, legal fees, retention bonuses and U.S. Trustee fees directly related to the Chapter 11 Cases.

Equity in losses of unconsolidated affiliates improved $5.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the prior-year period. The improvement was primarily due to higher earnings of our unconsolidated affiliates and a reduction in uncollectable revenues in the current year-period as compared to the prior-year period due to the impacts of the mandated property closures during 2020 as a result of COVID-19.

Gain on sales of real estate assets increased $8.7 million compared to the prior-year period. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we recognized $8.7 million of gain on sales of real estate assets primarily related to the sale of two anchors and three outparcels.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recognized $120.3 million of loss on impairment of real estate, which was primarily related to five malls, a redeveloped anchor parcel, an associated center and an outparcel. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recognized $147.0 million of loss on impairment of real estate to write down the book value of three malls. See Note 6 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for more information.

Other Income and Expenses

Interest expense decreased $95.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the prior-year period primarily due to not recognizing interest expense on the senior unsecured notes and the secured credit facility subsequent to the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases. The decrease was partially offset by an increase of default interest expense related to property-level non-recourse loans that are in default, which may not be payable depending on the outcome of negotiations with the lenders. In accordance with ASC 852, which limits the recognition of interest expense during a bankruptcy proceeding to only amounts that will be paid during the bankruptcy proceeding or that are probable of becoming allowed claims, interest was not accrued on the secured credit facility or the senior unsecured notes subsequent to the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases. See Note 2 for more information on our emergence from the Chapter 11 Cases.

Interest and other income decreased $3.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the prior-year period primarily due to the payoff of a note receivable and gains resulting from insurance settlements in the prior-year period.

Table of Contents

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded a $15.4 million gain on extinguishment of debt related to Hickory Point Mall, which we transferred to the lender in satisfaction of the non-recourse debt secured by that property.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded $55.1 million of gain on deconsolidation related to Asheville Mall and Park Plaza. See Note 8 for more information.

The income tax benefit (provision) decreased $17.0 million as compared to the prior-year period due to a full valuation allowance of $16.8 million that was recorded on our deferred tax assets in the prior-year period.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded $52.0 million of reorganization items, which consists of professional fees, legal fees, retention bonuses and U.S. Trustee fees directly related to the Chapter 11 Cases.

Equity in losses of unconsolidated affiliates improved $2.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the prior-year period. The improvement was primarily due to higher earnings of our unconsolidated affiliates and a reduction in uncollectable revenues in the current year-period as compared to the prior-year period due to the impacts of the mandated property closures during 2020 as a result of COVID-19.

Gain on sales of real estate assets increased $5.8 million compared to the prior-year period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recognized $8.5 million of gain on sales of real estate assets primarily related to the sale of three anchors and three outparcels. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recognized $2.7 million of gain on sales of real estate assets primarily related to the sale of three outparcels.

Non-GAAP Measure

Same-center Net Operating Income

NOI is a supplemental non-GAAP measure of the operating performance of our shopping centers and other properties. We define NOI as property operating revenues (rental revenues and other income) less property operating expenses (property operating, real estate taxes and maintenance and repairs).

We compute NOI based on the Operating Partnership's pro rata share of both consolidated and unconsolidated Properties. We believe that presenting NOI and same-center NOI (described below) based on our Operating Partnership’s pro rata share of both consolidated and unconsolidated Properties is useful since we conduct substantially all our business through our Operating Partnership and, therefore, it reflects the performance of the Properties in absolute terms regardless of the ratio of ownership interests of our common shareholders and the noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership. Our definition of NOI may be different than that used by other companies, and accordingly, our calculation of NOI may not be comparable to that of other companies.

Since NOI includes only those revenues and expenses related to the operations of our shopping center Properties, we believe that same-center NOI provides a measure that reflects trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, sales at the malls and operating costs and the impact of those trends on our results of operations. Our calculation of same-center NOI excludes lease termination income, straight-line rent adjustments, amortization of above and below market lease intangibles and write-offs of landlord inducement assets in order to enhance the comparability of results from one period to another.

We include a Property in our same-center pool when we have owned all or a portion of the Property since January 1 of the preceding calendar year and it has been in operation for both the entire preceding calendar year and current year-to-date period. New Properties are excluded from same-center NOI until they meet these criteria. Properties excluded from the same-center pool that would otherwise meet these criteria are categorized as Lender Malls, as defined below under Operational Review.

Table of Contents

Due to the exclusions noted above, same-center NOI should only be used as a supplemental measure of our performance and not as an alternative to GAAP operating income (loss) or net income (loss). A reconciliation of our same-center NOI to net loss for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 is as follows (in thousands):

Same-center NOI increased 26.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the prior-year period. The $23.5 million increase for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 primarily consisted of a $27.4 million increase in revenues offset by a $3.9 million increase in operating expenses. Rental revenues increased $26.8 million during the quarter primarily due to a decrease in uncollectable revenues in the current period as compared to the prior year period, as well as prior year rent concessions to tenants that are in bankruptcy or are struggling financially due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Percentage rent increased due to higher sales in the current period as sales and traffic have improved as vaccination rates increased and government restrictions were lessened and the COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on sales and traffic in the prior-year period.

Same-center NOI increased 6.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the prior-year period. The $19.9 million increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 primarily consisted of a $27.2 million increase in revenues offset by a $7.3 million increase in operating expenses. Rental revenues increased $26.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, primarily due to a decrease in uncollectable revenues in the current period as compared to the prior year period, as well as prior year rent concessions to tenants that are in bankruptcy or are struggling financially due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Percentage rent increased due to higher sales in the current period as sales and traffic have improved as vaccination rates increased and government restrictions were lessened and the COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on sales and traffic in the prior-year period.

Our consolidated unencumbered properties generated approximately 35.9% of total consolidated NOI of $253.2 million (which is at our share and excludes NOI related to dispositions or lender properties) for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Operational Review

The shopping center business is, to some extent, seasonal in nature with tenants typically achieving the highest levels of sales during the fourth quarter due to the holiday season, which generally results in higher percentage rents in the fourth quarter. Additionally, the malls earn most of their rents from short-term tenants during the holiday period. Thus, occupancy levels and revenue production are generally the highest in the fourth quarter of each year. Results of operations realized in any one quarter may not be indicative of the results likely to be experienced over the course of the fiscal year.

Table of Contents

We classify our regional malls into three categories:

(1)

Stabilized Malls – Malls that have completed their initial lease-up and have been open for more than three complete calendar years.

(2)

Non-stabilized Malls - Malls that are in their initial lease-up phase. After three complete calendar years of operation, they are reclassified on January 1 of the fourth calendar year to the stabilized mall category. The Outlet Shoppes at Laredo was classified as a non-stabilized mall as of September 30, 2020.

(3)

Excluded Malls - We exclude malls from our core portfolio if they are categorized as a Lender Mall, for which operational metrics are excluded:

•

Lender Malls - Malls for which we are working or intend to work with the lender on a restructure of the terms of the loan secured by the property or convey the secured property to the lender. Asheville Mall, EastGate Mall, Greenbrier Mall, The Outlet Shoppes at Gettysburg, The Outlet Shoppes at Laredo, Park Plaza and Parkdale Mall were classified as Lender Malls as of September 30, 2021. Asheville Mall, Burnsville Center, EastGate Mall, Greenbrier Mall and Park Plaza were classified as Lender Malls as of September 30, 2020. Lender Malls are excluded from our same-center pool as decisions made while in discussions with the lender may lead to metrics that do not provide relevant information related to the condition of these properties.

We derive the majority of our total revenues from the mall properties. The sources of our total revenues by property type were as follows:

	As of September 30,
	2021			2020
Malls		89.9	%		90.4	%
Other Properties		10.1	%		9.6	%

Mall Store Sales

Mall store sales include reporting mall tenants of 10,000 square feet or less for stabilized malls and exclude license agreements, which are retail contracts that are temporary or short-term in nature and generally last more than three months but less than twelve months. Due to temporary mall and store closures that occurred in 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the majority of CBL’s tenants did not report sales for the full reporting period. As a result, the following is a comparison of the change in our same-center sales per square foot for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019:

		% Change
Stabilized mall same-center sales per square foot		16.8%

Occupancy

Our portfolio occupancy is summarized in the following table ⁽¹⁾:

	As of September 30,
	2021			2020
Total portfolio		88.4	%		86.6	%
Malls:
Total Mall portfolio		86.3	%		85.0	%

Other Properties:
Associated centers		94.8	%		89.1	%
Community centers		94.5	%		94.4	%

(1)	As noted above, excluded properties are not included in occupancy metrics. Occupancy for malls represents percentage of mall store gross leasable area occupied under 20,000 square feet. Occupancy for other properties represents percentage of gross leasable area occupied.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As previously discussed, on the Effective Date, the conditions to effectiveness of the Plan were satisfied and the Debtors emerged from the Chapter 11 Cases. The Plan provided for the elimination of more than $1.6 billion of debt and preferred obligations, including an aggregate cash payment of $195.0 million as noted below, as well as a significant reduction in interest expense. In exchange for their approximately $1.4 billion in principal amount of senior unsecured notes and $133.0 million in principal amount of the secured credit facility, Consenting Noteholders, other noteholders, and certain holders of unsecured claims against the Company received, in the aggregate, $95.0 million in cash, $455.0 million of new senior secured notes, $100.0 million of new convertible secured notes, based upon the election by certain Consenting Noteholders, and 89% in common equity of the newly reorganized company (subject to dilution, as set forth in the Plan). Certain Consenting Noteholders also provided $50.0 million of new money in exchange for additional new convertible secured notes. Pursuant to the Plan the remaining bank lenders, holding $983.7 million in principal amount under the secured credit facility, received $100.0 million in cash and a new $883.7 million secured term loan. Existing common and preferred shareholders each received 5.5% of common equity in the newly reorganized company. See Note 2 for more detailed information.

As of September 30, 2021, we had $268.0 million available in unrestricted cash and $100.0 million in U.S. Treasury securities. Our total pro rata share of debt at September 30, 2021 was $4,363.8 million. The $162.8 million in restricted cash at September 30, 2021 related to cash held in escrow accounts for insurance, real estate taxes, capital expenditures and tenant allowances as required by the terms of certain mortgage notes payable, as well as amounts related to properties that secure the credit facility and cash management agreements with lenders of certain property-level mortgage indebtedness, which are designated for debt service and operating expense obligations.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we have continued to reinvest in U.S. Treasury securities using the cash that was drawn on the secured line of credit to preserve liquidity at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. We designated our U.S. Treasury securities as available-for-sale. As of September 30, 2021, our U.S. Treasury securities have maturities through October 2021. Subsequent to September 30, 2021, we reinvested proceeds from matured U.S. Treasury securities into new U.S. Treasury securities. See Note 15 for more information.

In March 2021, we reached agreements with the lenders to modify the loans secured by Hammock Landing Phases I & II and The Pavilion at Port Orange. Each agreement provides an additional four-year term, with a one-year extension option, for a fully extended maturity date of February 2026. These loans had a combined outstanding loan balance of $105.4 million at September 30, 2021. Additionally, each such agreement provided forbearance related to the default triggered as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases, which was waived upon the Effective Date.

In March 2021, we reached an agreement with the lender to modify the loan secured by Ambassador Infrastructure. The agreement provides an additional four-year term with a fixed interest rate of 3.0%. The extended loan, maturing in March 2025, has an outstanding balance of $8.3 million, as $1.1 million was paid down in conjunction with the modification. The agreement provides a waiver related to the default triggered as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases, which was waived upon the Effective Date.

On May 26, 2021, the subsidiary that owns The Outlet Shoppes at Laredo filed for bankruptcy. In September 2021, the subsidiary that owns The Outlet Shoppes at Laredo reached an agreement with the lender to dismiss the bankruptcy case and amend the loan secured by The Outlet Shoppes at Laredo. The loan term was extended through June 2023 and contains a one-year extension option.

Subsequent to September 30, 2021, the loan secured by The Shoppes at Eagle Point was extended for one year with a new maturity date of October 2022. See Note 15.

Table of Contents

Our total share of consolidated, unconsolidated and other outstanding debt maturing during 2021, assuming all extension options are elected, is $481.6 million, and we are in discussions with the existing lenders to modify and extend or otherwise refinance the loans. The filing of the Chapter 11 Cases also constituted an event of default with respect to certain property-level debt of the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries, which may have resulted in the automatic acceleration of certain monetary obligations or may give the applicable lender the right to accelerate such amounts. We entered forbearance and/or waiver agreements with many of our lenders, which were contingent upon the Plan becoming effective and our successful emergence from bankruptcy. With the Plan becoming effective on November 1, 2021, we expect the default and/or default interest on the loans where a forbearance and/or waiver agreement was reached to become effective. We remain in negotiations with lenders regarding loan extensions and loan defaults where a forbearance and/or waiver agreement have not been reached. See Note 8 and Note 9 for more information.

We derive the majority of our revenues from leases with retail tenants, which have historically been the primary source for funding short-term liquidity and capital needs such as operating expenses, debt service, tenant construction allowances, recurring capital expenditures, dividends and distributions. We believe that the combination of cash flows generated from our operations, combined with cash on hand and our investment in U.S. Treasury securities will, for the foreseeable future, provide adequate liquidity to meet our cash needs assuming we continue to operate as a going concern within twelve months of the date our condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. In addition to these factors, we have options available to us to generate additional liquidity, including but not limited to, joint venture investments and decreasing expenditures related to tenant construction allowances and other capital expenditures. We also generate revenues from sales of peripheral land at our properties and from sales of real estate assets when it is determined that we can realize an optimal value for the assets.

Cash Flows - Operating, Investing and Financing Activities

There was $430.9 million of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as of September 30, 2021, an increase of $309.1 million from December 31, 2020. Of this amount, $268.1 million was unrestricted cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2021. Also, at September 30, 2021, we had $100.0 million in U.S. Treasuries with maturities through October 2021.

Our net cash flows are summarized as follows (in thousands):

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2021			2020			Change
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	202,170		$	59,192		$	142,978
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities		139,180			(201,504	)		340,684
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities		(32,168	)		224,486			(256,654	)
Net cash flows	$	309,182		$	82,174		$	227,008

Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities increased $143.0 million primarily due to operating cash flows in the prior-year period being significantly impacted by rent deferrals and abatements that we granted to tenants experiencing financial difficulties due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Also, operating cash flows improved due to not paying interest on the secured credit facility and senior unsecured notes as a result of the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases.

Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, net cash used in investing activities was primarily related to the purchase of U.S. Treasury securities for $153.2 million using a portion of the $280.0 million that we drew on our secured line of credit. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we had U.S. Treasury securities mature that we immediately reinvested in new U.S. Treasury securities. Subsequent to September 30, 2021, we purchased additional U.S. Treasury securities with proceeds that matured on September 30, 2021 (see Note 15). We also had a decrease in additions to real estate assets in the current-year period as compared to the prior-year period as a result of programs put in place to reduce capital expenditures and preserve liquidity.

Cash Provided by (Used in) Financing Activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the net cash inflow is primarily due to the $280.0 million draw on our secured credit facility in order to increase liquidity and preserve financial flexibility in light of the uncertainty surrounding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, cash used in financing activities primarily relates to principal payments on mortgages.

Pre-Emergence Debt of the Company

CBL has no indebtedness. Either the Operating Partnership or one of its consolidated subsidiaries, that it has a direct or indirect ownership interest in, is the borrower on all our debt. CBL is a limited guarantor of the Notes, as described in Note 9 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, for losses suffered solely by reason of fraud or willful misrepresentation by the Operating Partnership or its affiliates. We also provide a similar limited guarantee of the Operating Partnership's obligations with respect to our secured credit facility as of September 30, 2021. See Note 2 for more information on our post-emergence debt.

Pre-Emergence Debt of the Operating Partnership

The below tables summarize debt based on our pro rata ownership share, including our pro rata share of unconsolidated affiliates and excluding noncontrolling investors’ share of consolidated properties, because we believe this provides investors and lenders a clearer understanding of our total debt obligations and liquidity (in thousands). See Note 2 for more information on our post-emergence debt.

Issuer and Guarantor Subsidiaries of Guaranteed Securities

In March 2020, the SEC issued Rule Release No. 33-10762, Financial Disclosures About Guarantors and Issuers of Guaranteed Securities and Affiliates Whose Securities Collateralize a Registrant’s Securities ("Release 33-10762”). Release 33-10762 simplifies the disclosure requirements related to certain registered securities under Rules 3-10 and 3-16 of SEC Regulation S-X, permitting registrants to provide certain alternative financial disclosures and non-financial disclosures in lieu of separate consolidating financial statements for subsidiary issuers and guarantors of registered debt securities if certain conditions are met. The amendments in Release 33-10762 are generally effective for filings on or after January 4, 2021, with early application permitted. We adopted the new disclosure requirements permitted under Release 33-10762 effective for the period as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

The Operating Partnership’s senior secured credit facility is secured by 17 malls and 3 associated centers that are directly or indirectly owned by 36 wholly owned subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership (the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”). The Guarantor Subsidiaries own an additional four malls, two associated centers and four mortgage notes receivable that are not collateral for the secured credit facility. The Guarantor Subsidiaries also entered into agreements to guarantee the Operating Partnership’s obligations under the senior secured credit facility.

Based on the terms of the Notes, to the extent that any subsidiary of the Operating Partnership executes and delivers a guarantee to another debt facility, the Operating Partnership shall also cause the subsidiary to guarantee the Operating Partnership’s obligations under the Notes on a senior basis. In connection with entering the guarantee agreements related to the senior secured credit facility, the Guarantor Subsidiaries entered a guarantee agreement with the issuer of the Notes to satisfy the guaranty requirement.

The guarantees of the Guarantor Subsidiaries are joint and several and full and unconditional. The guarantees are unsecured and effectively subordinated to any existing and future secured debt that a Guarantor Subsidiary may have to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt. Each Guarantor Property’s obligation will remain until the earlier of such time as (i) all guaranteed obligations have been paid in full in cash and each guaranteed obligation has been terminated or cancelled in accordance with its terms or (ii) any such Guarantor Subsidiary ceases to be a guarantor under the senior secured credit facility. The Guarantor Subsidiaries’ maximum guarantee related to the secured credit facility is $1,114.7 million as of September 30, 2021, and the maximum guarantee related to the Notes is $1,375.0 million as of September 30, 2021.

The following tables present summarized financial information for the Operating Partnership and the Guarantor Subsidiaries on a combined basis. The summarized financial information does not include the Operating Partnership’s investments in non-guarantor subsidiaries nor the earnings from non-guarantor subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions between the Operating Partnership and the Guarantor Subsidiaries have been eliminated. The summarized balance sheet information is as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 and the summarized statement of operations information is for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 (amounts are presented in thousands).

Pre-Emergence Financial Covenants and Restrictions

As discussed in Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases constituted an event of default that resulted in certain monetary obligations becoming immediately due and payable with respect to the secured credit facility and the senior unsecured notes. The filing of the Chapter 11 Cases also constituted an event of default with respect to certain property-level debt of the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries, which may have resulted in the automatic acceleration of certain monetary obligations or may give the applicable lender the right to accelerate such amounts.

Pre-Emergence Equity

In 2019, we suspended all future dividends on our common stock and preferred stock, as well as distributions to all noncontrolling interest investors in our Operating Partnership. The dividend arrearage created by our board of directors’ decision to suspend the dividends that continue to accrue on our outstanding preferred stock currently makes us ineligible to use the abbreviated, and less costly, SEC Form S-3 registration statement to register our securities for sale. This means we will be required to use a registration statement on Form S-11 to register additional securities for sale with the SEC, which we expect to hinder our ability to act quickly in relation to, and raise our costs incurred in, future capital raising activities. This preferred dividend arrearage (and the Operating Partnership’s related arrearage in distributions to its preferred units of limited partnership underlying our outstanding preferred shares), under the terms of our preferred stock, also require that we not resume any payment of dividends on our common stock unless full cumulative dividends accrued with respect to our preferred stock (and such underlying preferred units) for all past quarters and the then-current quarter are first declared and paid in cash, or declared with a sum sufficient for the payment thereof having been set apart for such payment in cash. In addition, for so long as this distribution suspension results in the existence of a distribution shortfall (as described in the Partnership Agreement of the Operating Partnership) with respect to any of the S-SCUs, the L-SCUs or the K-SCUs (an “SCU Distribution Shortfall”), the terms of the Operating Partnership Agreement state that we (i) may not cause the Operating Partnership to resume distributions to holders of its outstanding common units of limited partnership interest until all holders of SCUs have received distributions sufficient to satisfy the SCU Distribution Shortfall for all prior quarters and the then-current quarter (which effectively would also prevent the resumption of common stock dividends, since our common stock dividends are funded by distributions the Company receives on the underlying common units it holds in the Operating Partnership) and (ii) may not elect to settle any exchange requested by a holder of common units of the Operating Partnership in cash, and may only settle any such exchange through the issuance of shares of common stock or other units of the Operating Partnership ranking junior to any such units as to which a distribution shortfall exists. Our board of directors prospectively approved that, to the extent any partners exercise any or all of their exchange rights while the existence of the SCU Distribution Shortfall requires an exchange to be settled through the issuance of shares of common stock or other units of the Operating Partnership, the consideration paid shall be in the form of shares of common

stock. We did not pay any further dividends with respect to the Company’s outstanding common stock and preferred stock, or any distributions with respect to the Operating Partnership’s outstanding units of partnership interest, prior to the conclusion of our reorganization pursuant to the emergence from the Chapter 11 Cases, which extinguished all claims related to the accrued and unpaid preferred stock dividends and the Operating Partnership unit SCU Distribution Shortfall discussed above. In regard to future dividend distributions with respect to new equity securities issued pursuant to the Chapter 11 Cases, we will review taxable income on a regular basis and take measures, if necessary, to ensure that we meet the minimum distribution requirements to maintain our status as a REIT.

See Delisting of Common Stock and Depositary Shares in Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding the suspension of NYSE trading in our common stock and the depositary shares representing our Series D Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock pursuant to a notice we received from the NYSE regarding our non-compliance with the NYSE Listing Standards. On the Effective Date, by operation of the Plan, all agreements, instruments, and other documents evidencing, relating to or connected with any equity interests of the Company, including the REIT’s common stock, and the REIT’s preferred stock and related depositary shares, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Date, and any rights of any holder in respect thereof, were deemed cancelled, discharged and of no force or effect. On November 2, 2021, our newly issued common stock commenced trading on the NYSE under the symbol CBL.

Capital Expenditures

Deferred maintenance and capital expenditures are generally included in the determination of common area maintenance (“CAM”) expense that is billed to tenants in accordance with their lease agreements.

The following table, which excludes expenditures for developments, redevelopments and expansions, summarizes these capital expenditures, including our share of unconsolidated affiliates' capital expenditures, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same periods in 2020 (in thousands):

Annual capital expenditures budgets are prepared for each of our properties that are intended to provide for all necessary recurring and non-recurring capital expenditures. We believe that property operating cash flows, which include reimbursements from tenants for certain expenses, and readily available cash on hand will provide the necessary funding for these expenditures.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Unconsolidated Affiliates

We have ownership interests in 31 unconsolidated affiliates as of September 30, 2021 that are described in Note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. The unconsolidated affiliates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting and are reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as investments in unconsolidated affiliates.

The following are circumstances when we may consider entering into a joint venture with a third party:

•

Third parties may approach us with opportunities in which they have obtained land and performed some pre-development activities, but they may not have sufficient access to the capital resources or the development and leasing expertise to bring the project to fruition. We enter into such arrangements when we determine such a project is viable and we can achieve a satisfactory return on our investment. We typically earn development fees from the joint venture and provide management and leasing services to the property for a fee once the property is placed in operation.

•

We determine that we may have the opportunity to capitalize on the value we have created in a property by selling an interest in the property to a third party. This provides us with an additional source of capital that can be used to develop or acquire additional real estate assets that we believe will provide greater potential for growth. When we retain an interest in an asset rather than selling a 100% interest, it is typically because this allows us to continue to manage the property, which provides us the ability to earn fees for management, leasing, development and financing services provided to the joint venture.

•

We also have the ability to contribute land into a joint venture partnership with diverse uses, such as hotels, self-storage and multifamily. We typically partner with developers who have expertise in the diverse property types.

Table of Contents

Guarantees

We may guarantee the debt of a joint venture primarily because it allows the joint venture to obtain funding at a lower cost than could be obtained otherwise. This results in a higher return for the joint venture on its investment, and a higher return on our investment in the joint venture. We may receive a fee from the joint venture for providing the guaranty. Additionally, when we issue a guaranty, the terms of the joint venture agreement typically provide that we may receive indemnification from the joint venture or have the ability to increase our ownership interest.

See Note 12 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for information related to our guarantees of unconsolidated affiliates' debt as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the financial statements and disclosures. Some of these estimates and assumptions require application of difficult, subjective, and/or complex judgment about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and that may change in subsequent periods. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 contains a discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates in the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section. There have been no material changes to these policies and estimates during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for information on recently issued accounting pronouncements.

Non-GAAP Measure

Funds from Operations

FFO is a widely used non-GAAP measure of the operating performance of real estate companies that supplements net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP. NAREIT defines FFO as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding gains or losses on sales of depreciable operating properties and impairment losses of depreciable properties, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures and noncontrolling interests. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships, joint ventures and noncontrolling interests are calculated on the same basis. We define FFO as defined above by NAREIT less dividends on preferred stock of the Company or distributions on preferred units of the Operating Partnership, as applicable. Our method of calculating FFO may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs.

We believe that FFO provides an additional indicator of the operating performance of our properties without giving effect to real estate depreciation and amortization, which assumes the value of real estate assets declines predictably over time. Since values of real estate assets have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, we believe that FFO, which excludes historical cost depreciation and amortization, enhances investors’ understanding of our operating performance. The use of FFO as an indicator of financial performance is influenced not only by the operations of our properties and interest rates, but also by our capital structure.

We present both FFO allocable to Operating Partnership common unitholders and FFO allocable to common shareholders, as we believe that both are useful performance measures. We believe FFO allocable to Operating Partnership common unitholders is a useful performance measure since we conduct substantially all our business through our Operating Partnership and, therefore, it reflects the performance of the properties in absolute terms regardless of the ratio of ownership interests of our common shareholders and the noncontrolling interest in our Operating Partnership. We believe FFO allocable to common shareholders is a useful performance measure because it is the performance measure that is most directly comparable to net loss attributable to common shareholders.

Table of Contents

In our reconciliation of net loss attributable to common shareholders to FFO allocable to Operating Partnership common unitholders that is presented below, we make an adjustment to add back noncontrolling interest in loss of our Operating Partnership in order to arrive at FFO of the Operating Partnership common unitholders. We then apply a percentage to FFO of the Operating Partnership common unitholders to arrive at FFO allocable to common shareholders. The percentage is computed by taking the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period and dividing it by the sum of the weighted-average number of common shares and the weighted-average number of Operating Partnership units held by noncontrolling interests during the period.

FFO does not represent cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP, is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow needs and should not be considered as an alternative to net loss for purposes of evaluating our operating performance or to cash flow as a measure of liquidity.

We believe that it is important to identify the impact of certain significant items on our FFO measures for a reader to have a complete understanding of our results of operations. Therefore, we have also presented adjusted FFO measures excluding these significant items from the applicable periods. Please refer to the reconciliation of net loss attributable to common shareholders to FFO allocable to Operating Partnership common unitholders below for a description of these adjustments.

FFO of the Operating Partnership increased to $74.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 from $11.4 million for the prior-year period; and increased to $215.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 from $57.2 million for the prior-year period. Excluding the adjustments noted below, FFO of the Operating Partnership, as adjusted, increased to $95.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 from $9.0 million for the same period in 2020; and increased to $243.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 from $65.5 million from the same period in 2020. The increase in FFO, as adjusted, was primarily driven by the reduction in interest expense due to not recognizing post-petition interest expense on the senior unsecured notes and the secured credit facility subsequent to the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, the cumulation of undeclared dividends ceasing to cumulate on the Series D Preferred Stock and the Series E Preferred Stock subsequent to the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, a lower income tax provision in the current-year period and a decrease in uncollectable revenues in the current-year period as compared to the prior year period.

ITEM 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to various market risk exposures, including interest rate risk. The following discussion regarding our risk management activities includes forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainties. Estimates of future performance and economic conditions are reflected assuming certain changes in interest rates. Caution should be used in evaluating our overall market risk from the information presented below, as actual results may differ.

Interest Rate Risk

Based on our proportionate share of consolidated and unconsolidated variable-rate debt at September 30, 2021, and excluding the secured credit facility, which is included in liabilities subject to compromise in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets due to the Chapter 11 Cases, a 0.5% increase or decrease in interest rates on variable-rate debt would increase or decrease annual cash flows by approximately $1.0 million, respectively.

Based on our proportionate share of consolidated and unconsolidated variable-rate debt at September 30, 2021, and including the secured credit facility, which is included in liabilities subject to compromise in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets due to the Chapter 11 Cases, a 0.5% increase or decrease in interest rates on variable-rate debt would increase or decrease annual cash flows by approximately $6.5 million, respectively.

Based on our proportionate share of total consolidated, unconsolidated and other debt at September 30, 2021, and excluding the secured credit facility and the senior unsecured notes, which are included in liabilities subject to compromise in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets due to the Chapter 11 Cases, a 0.5% increase in interest rates would decrease the fair value of debt by approximately $12.6 million, while a 0.5% decrease in interest rates would increase the fair value of debt by approximately $13.4 million.

ITEM 4: Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, an evaluation was performed under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and with the participation of our management, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's and the Operating Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. The Company's and the Operating Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and to ensure that information we are required to disclose is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s and the Operating Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as a result of the material weakness described below.

Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s and the Operating Partnership’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, management of the Company and the Operating Partnership determined that there was a control deficiency that constituted a material weakness, as described below.

As a result of turnover, the Company and the Operating Partnership did not maintain a sufficient complement of personnel commensurate with their accounting and financial reporting requirements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and SEC regulations.

The control deficiency described above created a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis and therefore we concluded that the deficiency represents a material weakness in the Company’s and the Operating Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting and that the Company and the Operating Partnership did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by COSO.

Notwithstanding the identified material weakness, management believes that the condensed consolidated financial statements and related financial information included in this Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, our balance sheets, statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss) and cash flows as of and for the periods presented.

Remediation Plan

The Company and the Operating Partnership plan to remediate this material weakness by hiring additional personnel to enable them to meet their financial reporting requirements. The Company and the Operating Partnership may also utilize outside advisors to assist on a short-term basis.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s or the Operating Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2021, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
