NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2023

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Nature of Operations

Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust (“PREIT” or the “Company”) prepared the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although we believe that the included disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Our unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in PREIT’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. In our opinion, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly our consolidated financial statements are included. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

PREIT, a Pennsylvania business trust founded in 1960 and one of the first equity real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) in the United States, has a primary investment focus on retail shopping malls located in the eastern half of the United States, primarily in the Mid-Atlantic region. As of June 30, 2023, our portfolio consists of a total of 23 properties operating in eight states, including 19 shopping malls, three other retail properties and one development property. The property in our portfolio that is classified as under development does not currently have any activity occurring.

We hold our interest in our portfolio of properties through our operating partnership, PREIT Associates, L.P. (“PREIT Associates” or the “Operating Partnership”). We are the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and, as of June 30, 2023, we held a 98.7% controlling interest in the Operating Partnership and consolidated it for reporting purposes. The presentation of consolidated financial statements does not itself imply that the assets of any consolidated entity (including any special-purpose entity formed for a particular project) are available to pay the liabilities of any other consolidated entity, or that the liabilities of any consolidated entity (including any special-purpose entity formed for a particular project) are obligations of any other consolidated entity.

Pursuant to the terms of the partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership, each of the limited partners has the right to redeem such partner’s units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership (“OP Units”) for cash or, at our election, we may acquire such OP Units in exchange for our common shares on a fifteen-for-one basis (as a result of our recent reverse share split (described below). The current terms of our Credit Agreements (as defined below) prohibit the Company from acquiring whole share OP Units for cash and, as such, any whole share OP Units presented for redemption will be redeemed for shares. Partial share OP Unit redemptions will be redeemed for cash.

We provide management, leasing and real estate development services through two of our subsidiaries: PREIT Services, LLC (“PREIT Services”), which generally develops and manages properties that we consolidate for financial reporting purposes, and PREIT-RUBIN, Inc. (“PRI”), which generally develops and manages properties that we do not consolidate for financial reporting purposes, including properties owned by partnerships in which we own an interest, and properties that are owned by third parties in which we do not have an interest. PREIT Services and PRI are consolidated. PRI is a taxable REIT subsidiary, as defined by federal tax laws, which means that it is able to offer an expanded menu of services to tenants without jeopardizing our continuing qualification as a REIT under federal tax law.

We evaluate operating results and allocate resources on a property-by-property basis, and do not distinguish or evaluate our consolidated operations on a geographic basis. Due to the nature of our operating properties, which involve retail shopping, dining, entertainment and certain non-traditional tenant operations, we have concluded that our individual properties have similar economic characteristics and meet all other aggregation criteria. Accordingly, we have aggregated our individual properties into one reportable segment. In addition, no single tenant accounts for 10% or more of consolidated revenue, and none of our properties are located outside the United States.

Current Economic and Industry Conditions

Conditions in the economy have caused fluctuations and variations in business and consumer confidence, retail sales, and consumer spending on retail goods, destination dining and entertainment. In particular, current conditions in the economy have caused fluctuations in unemployment rates, and together with supply chain challenges, the inflationary environment, overall economic uncertainty and the potential for economic slowdown or recession, have impacted consumer confidence and spending. The economic factors have had corresponding effects on tenant business performance, prospects, solvency and leasing decisions. Further, traditional mall tenants, including department store anchors and smaller format retail tenants face significant challenges resulting from changing consumer expectations, the convenience of e-commerce shopping, the expansion of outlet centers, and declining mall traffic, among other factors. In recent years, we have experienced elevated levels of tenant bankruptcies and store closings by tenants who have been significantly impacted by these factors. We anticipate that our future business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations, will continue to be materially impacted by these conditions, and more recently by inflationary pressures and substantial increases in interest rates.

Going Concern Considerations

Under the accounting guidance related to the presentation of financial statements, when preparing financial statements for each annual and interim reporting period, management has the responsibility to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that 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. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. As a result of the considerations articulated below, we believe there is 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 applying the accounting guidance, management considered our current financial condition and liquidity sources, including current funds available, forecasted future cash flows and our conditional and unconditional obligations due over the next twelve months after the date that our financial statements were issued. Management specifically considered the two secured credit agreements (collectively, as amended, the “Credit Agreements”), further defined in Note 4, with a maturity date in December 2023, and Fashion District Philadelphia’s Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement (“FDP Loan Agreement”), as further defined in Note 3, with a maturity date in January 2024, as events or conditions that raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

As of June 30, 2023, we had borrowed $305.7 million under the First Lien Term Loan Facility, $689.8 million under the Second Lien Term Loan Facility and $27.5 million under the First Lien Revolving Facility. Our obligations under the Credit Agreements are guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries. The Credit Agreements include several events of default as described in Note 4. Upon the occurrence of an event of default (except with respect to bankruptcy), the lenders may declare all of the obligations in connection with the applicable Credit Agreement (including an amount equal to the outstanding letters of credit under the First Lien Credit Agreement) immediately due and payable and may terminate the lenders’ commitments thereunder. When the borrowings under the Credit Agreements come due and payable due to a default or at maturity in December 2023, the Company would not be able to satisfy its obligations. Management plans to work with the lender groups under the credit facilities and also explore other options to satisfy this obligation, however, any such relief involves performance by third parties and cannot be considered probable of occurring.

The FDP Loan Agreement has a balance of $75.8 million as of June 30, 2023, and matures in January 2024. The Company guarantees 50% of the joint venture’s obligations under the FDP Loan Agreement and management projects that the Company would not be able to satisfy its obligations if the FDP Loan Agreement were to become due and payable at its maturity date, which is within one year of the date of issuance of these financial statements. The Company plans to work with its joint venture partner to satisfy any obligations under the FDP Loan Agreement should it come due and payable at maturity. However, our ability to satisfy obligations under the FDP Loan Agreement is primarily dependent on the availability of our credit facility at the time of the FDP Loan Agreement maturity date and this involves performance by third parties and therefore cannot be considered probable of occurring.

Therefore, due to the inherent risks, unknown results and significant uncertainties associated with these matters and the direct correlation to our ability to satisfy our financial obligations that may arise over the applicable one year period, we are unable to conclude that it is probable that we will be able to meet our obligations arising within one year after the date of issuance of these financial statements under the parameters set forth in this accounting guidance.

Fair Value

Fair value accounting applies to reported balances that are required or permitted to be measured at fair value under existing accounting pronouncements.

Fair value measurements are determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, these accounting requirements establish a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy).

Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access.

Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs might include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability and are typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity.

Table of Contents

In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. We utilize the fair value hierarchy in our accounting for derivatives (Level 2), fixed rate and variable rate debt (Level 2), and in our reviews for impairment of real estate assets (Level 3) and goodwill (Level 3).

Impairment of Assets

Real estate investments and related intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the property might not be recoverable, which is referred to as a “triggering event.” If there is a triggering event in relation to a property to be held and used, we will estimate the aggregate future cash flows, net of estimated capital expenditures, to be generated by the property, undiscounted and without interest charges. In addition, this estimate may consider a probability weighted cash flow estimation approach when alternative courses of action to recover the carrying amount of a long-lived asset are under consideration or when a range of possible values is estimated.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, there was no impairment to any of our properties.

Our review of long-lived assets for impairment utilizes qualitative and quantitative factors in order to estimate fair value. The significant qualitative factors that we use include age and condition of the property, market conditions in the property’s trade area, competition with other shopping centers within the property’s trade area and the creditworthiness and performance of the property’s tenants. The significant quantitative factors that we use include historical and forecasted financial and operating information relating to the property, such as net operating income, estimated holding periods, occupancy statistics, vacancy projections and tenants’ sales levels.

The determination of undiscounted cash flows requires significant estimates by our management, including the expected course of action at the balance sheet date that would lead to such cash flows. Subsequent changes in estimated undiscounted cash flows arising from changes in the anticipated action to be taken with respect to the property could affect the determination of whether an impairment exists, and the effects of such changes could materially affect our net income. If the estimated undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the property, the carrying value is written down to its fair value. Our intent is to hold and operate our properties long-term, which reduces the likelihood that our carrying value is not recoverable. A shortened holding period would increase the likelihood that the carrying value is not recoverable. We will obtain a third party appraisal of the property as deemed necessary.

Assessment of our ability to recover certain lease-related costs must be made when we have a reason to believe that a tenant might not be able to perform under the terms of the lease as originally expected. This requires us to make estimates as to the recoverability of such costs.

An other-than-temporary impairment of an investment in an unconsolidated joint venture is recognized when the carrying value of the investment is not considered recoverable based on evaluation of the severity and duration of the decline in value. To the extent impairment has occurred, the excess carrying value of the asset over its estimated fair value is recorded as a reduction to income.

Assets Classified as Held for Sale

The determination to classify an asset as held for sale requires significant estimates by us about the property and the expected market for the property, which are based on factors including recent sales of comparable properties, recent expressions of interest in the property, financial metrics of the property and the physical condition of the property. We must also determine if it will be possible under those market conditions to sell the property for an acceptable price within one year. When assets are identified by our management as held for sale, we discontinue depreciating the assets and estimate the sales price, net of selling costs, of such assets. We generally consider operating properties to be held for sale when they meet criteria such as whether the sale transaction has been approved by the appropriate level of management and there are no known material contingencies relating to the sale such that the sale is probable and is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year. If the expected net sales price of the asset that has been identified as held for sale is less than the net book value of the asset, the asset is written down to fair value less the cost to sell. Assets and liabilities related to assets classified as held for sale are presented separately in the consolidated balance sheets. If we determine that a property no longer meets the held-for-sale criteria, we reclassify the property’s assets and liabilities to their original locations on the consolidated balance sheet and record depreciation and amortization expense for the period that the property was in held-for-sale status.

As of June 30, 2023, we determined that two of our hotel land parcels, one multifamily land parcel, and one retail property met the criteria to be classified as held for sale. As of December 31, 2022, two of our hotel land parcels, one multifamily land parcel, and two retail properties met the criteria to be classified as held for sale.

Reverse Share Split

On June 16, 2022, the Company effected a one-for-fifteen reverse share split of its common shares. Upon the effectiveness of the reverse share split, every 15 issued and outstanding common shares were combined into one issued and outstanding common share, with no change in par value per share, and the authorized number of common shares was proportionally reduced. Shareholders entitled to fractional shares as a result of the reverse share split were entitled to receive a cash payment in lieu of receiving fractional shares. All common share and per share data in the consolidated financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements have been retrospectively revised to reflect the reverse share split. Common shares underlying outstanding options, time based and restricted share units, performance based share units and restricted shares were proportionately reduced and the respective exercise prices, if applicable, were proportionately increased. Additionally, the conversion rate of OP Units into common shares was automatically proportionally adjusted from one-for-one to fifteen-for-one. The reverse share split resulted in bringing the Company into compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for maintaining its listing on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”), and on July 1, 2022, the Company received notice from the NYSE that it had regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. Immediately following the effectiveness of the reverse share split, the Company's common shares continued to trade under the symbol “PEI” and began trading on a split-adjusted basis on June 16, 2022.

On December 15, 2022, the Company received written notice from the NYSE that the Company had failed to maintain an average market global capitalization over a consecutive 30 trading-day period of at least $15 million which resulted in NYSE delisting its securities. The securities were transferred to "OTC Pink Market" and later to OTCQB, both operated by OTC Markets Group Inc. As of June 30, 2023, the Company's shares were traded on OTCQB under the symbols PRET (Common Shares), PRETL (Preferred Series B), PRETM (Preferred Series C), and PRETN (Preferred Series D).

New Accounting Developments

The Company considers all new accounting standards for their applicability to the consolidated financial statements. We determined that there were no new accounting standards, issued or effective during the six months ended June 30, 2023, that have had or are expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Fashion District Philadelphia

FDP Loan Agreement

PM Gallery LP, a Delaware limited partnership and joint venture entity owned indirectly by us and The Macerich Company (“Macerich”), previously entered into a $250.0 million term loan in January 2018 (as amended in July 2019 to increase the total maximum potential borrowings to $350.0 million) to fund the redevelopment of Fashion District Philadelphia and to repay capital contributions to the venture previously made by the partners. On December 10, 2020, PM Gallery LP, together with certain other subsidiaries owned indirectly by us and Macerich (including the fee and leasehold owners of the properties that are part of the Fashion District Philadelphia project), entered into an Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement (the “FDP Loan Agreement”). In connection with the execution of the FDP Loan Agreement, a $100.0 million principal payment was made (and funded indirectly by Macerich, the “Partnership Loan”) to pay down the existing loan, reducing the outstanding principal under the FDP Loan Agreement from $301.0 million to $201.0 million. In addition, subsequent payments were made on the FDP Loan Agreement as indicated below. The joint venture must repay the Partnership Loan plus 15% accrued interest to Macerich, in its capacity as the lender, prior to the resumption of 50/50 cash distributions to the Company and its joint venture partner.

The FDP Loan Agreement provides for (i) a maturity date of January 22, 2024, (having been extended by one year upon satisfaction of the required conditions to extension), (ii) an interest rate at the borrowers’ option with respect to each advance of either (A) the Base Rate (defined as the highest of (a) the Prime Rate, (b) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, and (c) the LIBOR Market Index Rate plus 1.00%) plus 2.50% or (B) LIBOR for the applicable period plus 3.50%, (iii) a full recourse guarantee of 50% of the borrowers’ obligations by PREIT Associates, L.P., on a several basis, (iv) a full recourse guarantee of certain of the borrowers’ obligations by The Macerich Partnership, L.P., up to a maximum of $50.0 million, on a several basis, (v) a pledge of the equity interests of certain indirect subsidiaries of PREIT and Macerich, as well as of PREIT-RUBIN, Inc. and one of its subsidiaries, that have a direct or indirect ownership interest in the borrowers, (vi) a non-recourse carve-out guaranty and a hazardous materials indemnity by each of PREIT Associates, L.P. and The Macerich Partnership, L.P., and (vii) mortgages on the borrowers’ fee and leasehold interests in the properties that are part of the Fashion District Philadelphia project and certain other properties. In January 2023, the FDP Loan Agreement was amended to replace the interest rate benchmark from LIBOR to Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"). The Base Rate is defined as the highest of (a) the Prime Rate, (b) the Federal Funds Rate plus one half (0.50%) and (c) Adjusted Term SOFR for a one-month tenor plus one percent (1.00%). The FDP Loan Agreement contains certain covenants typical for loans of its type.

In January 2023, the joint venture paid down an additional $26.1 million of the FDP Loan Agreement balance to reach a debt yield ratio of 12% and exercised its option to extend the FDP Loan Agreement maturity date to January 22, 2024. If the joint venture fails to meet the debt yield covenant as of any quarter end measurement date and does not pay down the FDP Loan Agreement balance to achieve compliance, the balance could come due and payable at that time. In April 2023, the joint venture paid down an additional $2.5 million of the FDP Loan Agreement balance. The Company guarantees 50% of the joint venture’s obligations under the FDP Loan Agreement. The FDP Loan Agreement had a balance of $75.8 million as of June 30, 2023 (our share of which is $37.9 million). The joint venture has an outstanding balance on its Partnership Loans of $249.2 million (our share of which is $124.6 million) as of June 30, 2023 and the majority of the proceeds from the Partnership Loan were used to pay down the FDP Loan Agreement and the remainder was used to fund ongoing capital expenditures at the property. Management projects that the Company would not be able to satisfy its obligations if the FDP Loan Agreement obligation were to become due and payable by its maturity date. See Going Concern Considerations section in Note 1.

Joint Venture

In connection with the execution of the FDP Loan Agreement, the governing structure of PM Gallery LP was modified such that, effective as of January 1, 2021, Macerich is responsible for the entity’s operations and, subject to limited exceptions, controls major decisions. The Company considered the changes to the governing structure of PM Gallery LP and determined the investment qualifies as a variable interest entity and will continue to be accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Our maximum exposure to losses is limited to the extent of our investment, which is a 50% ownership, and the guarantee under the FDP Loan Agreement as noted above.

Dispositions

In June 2022, we sold our 25% interest in the Gloucester Premium Outlets located in Blackwood, New Jersey for total consideration of $35.4 million, subject to customary working capital adjustments, consisting of $14.1 million in cash and $21.4 million in debt assumption. We recorded a gain of $9.1 million in connection with the sale. We used net proceeds of $14.0 million from the sale to pay down our First Lien Revolving Facility and First Lien Term Loan.‌

4. FINANCING ACTIVITY

Credit Agreements

On December 10, 2020 we entered into the “Credit Agreements": (a) an Amended and Restated First Lien Credit Agreement (the “First Lien Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo Bank”) and the other financial institutions signatory thereto and their assignees, for secured loan facilities consisting of: (i) a secured first lien revolving credit facility allowing for borrowings up to $130.0 million, including a sub-facility for letters of credit to be issued thereunder in an aggregate stated amount of up to $10.0 million (collectively, the “First Lien Revolving Facility”), and (ii) a $384.5 million secured first lien term loan facility (the “First Lien Term Loan Facility”), and (b) a Second Lien Credit Agreement (the “Second Lien Credit Agreement”), as amended February 8, 2021 with Wells Fargo Bank and the other financial institutions signatory thereto and their assignees for a $535.2 million secured second lien term loan facility (the “Second Lien Term Loan Facility”). The Credit Agreements were to mature in December 2022, and the maturity date was extended to December 2023. The First Lien Term Loan Facility and the Second Lien Term Loan Facility are collectively referred to as the “Term Loans.”

As of June 30, 2023, we had outstanding borrowings of $305.7 million under the First Lien Term Loan Facility, $689.8 million under the Second Lien Term Loan Facility and $27.5 million under the First Lien Revolving Facility. The carrying value of the Term Loans on our consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2023 is net of $1.4 million of unamortized debt issuance costs. The maximum amount that was available to us under the First Lien Revolving Facility as of June 30, 2023 was $102.5 million. In August 2023, we borrowed $15.0 million under the First Lien Revolving Facility.

Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB is Administrative Agent under the First Lien Credit Agreement, the Second Lien Credit Agreement and, in each case, the related loan documents. There is currently no letter of credit issuer under the First Lien Revolving Facility, accordingly, the Company cannot currently access the letters of credit sub-facility.

Interest expense and deferred financing fee amortization related to the Credit Agreements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were as follows:


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
(in thousands of dollars)	2023		2022		2023		2022
Revolving Facilities:
Interest expense (1)	$	579	$	551	$	1,040	$	1,092
Deferred financing amortization		57		298		114		597
Term Loans:
Interest expense (2)		29,251		21,070	$	56,800	$	41,518
Deferred financing amortization		425		1,784		849		3,568

(1)

All of the expense applied to the First Lien Revolving Facility.

(2)

All of the expense applied to the Term Loans, of which $22.2 million and $42.7 million, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and $13.4 million and $25.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, was for the Second Lien Term Loan Facility and was not paid in cash, but capitalized to the principal balance of the loan.

Our obligations under the Credit Agreements are guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries. Our obligations under the Credit Agreements and the guaranties are secured by mortgages and deeds of trust on a portfolio of 10 of our subsidiaries’ properties, including nine malls and one additional parcel. The obligations are further secured by a lien on substantially all of our personal property pursuant to collateral agreements and a pledge of substantially all of the equity interests held by us and the guarantors, pursuant to pledge agreements, in each case subject to limited exceptions.

In December 2022, we exercised our option and satisfied the conditions to extend the maturity date of our Credit Agreements, such that it is now December 10, 2023 (the “Maturity Date”). The loans under the Credit Agreements are repayable in full on the Maturity Date, subject to mandatory prepayment provisions in the event of certain events including asset sales, incurrence of indebtedness, issuances of equity and receipt of casualty insurance proceeds. The terms of our Credit Agreements place restrictions on, among other things, and subject to certain exceptions, our ability to make certain restricted payments (including payments of dividends), make certain types of investments and

Table of Contents

acquisitions, issue redeemable securities, incur additional indebtedness, incur liens on our assets, enter into agreements with a negative pledge, make certain intercompany transfers, merge, consolidate, or sell our assets or the equity interests in our subsidiaries, amend our organizational documents or material contracts, enter into certain transactions with affiliates, or enter into derivatives contracts. Additionally, if we receive net cash proceeds from certain capital events (including equity issuances), we are required to prepay loans under our Credit Agreements. In addition, the Credit Agreements contain cross-default provisions that trigger an event of default if we fail to make certain payments or otherwise fail to comply with our obligations with respect to certain of our other indebtedness.

First Lien Credit Agreement

Amounts borrowed under the First Lien Credit Agreement may be either Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans. Base Rate Loans bear interest at the highest of (a) the Prime Rate, (b) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50% and (c) the LIBOR Market Index Rate plus 1.0%, provided that the Base Rate will not be less than 1.50% per annum, in each case plus (w) for revolving loans, 2.50% per annum, and (x) for term loans, 4.74% per annum. LIBOR Loans bear interest at LIBOR plus (y) for revolving loans, 3.50% per annum, and (z) for term loans, 5.74% per annum, in each case, provided that LIBOR will not be less than 0.50% per annum. Interest is due to be paid in cash on the last day of each applicable interest period (with rolling 30-day interest periods) and on the Maturity Date. We are required to pay certain fees to the administrative agent for the account of the lenders in connection with the First Lien Credit Agreement, including an unused fee for the account of the revolving lenders, which will accrue (i) 0.35% per annum on the daily amount of the unused revolving commitments when that amount is greater than or equal to 50% of the aggregate amount of revolving commitments, and (ii) 0.25% when that amount is less than 50% of the aggregate amount of revolving commitments. Accrued and unpaid unused fees will be payable quarterly in arrears during the term of the First Lien Credit Agreement and on the revolving termination date (or any earlier date of termination of the revolving commitments or reduction of the revolving commitments to zero).

Letters of credit and the proceeds of revolving loans may be used (i) to refinance indebtedness under the Bridge Credit Agreement (which agreement was canceled and refinanced upon our entry into the Credit Agreements), (ii) for working capital and general corporate purposes (subject to certain exceptions set forth in the First Lien Credit Agreement, including limitations on investments in non-borrowing base properties), and (iii) to fund professional fee payments and other fees and expenses subject to the provisions of the Plan and related confirmation order and for other uses permitted by the provisions of the First Lien Credit Agreement, Plan and confirmation order, in each case consistent with an approved annual business plan. We may terminate or reduce the amount of the revolving commitments at any time and from time to time without penalty or premium, subject to the terms of the First Lien Credit Agreement.

The First Lien Credit Agreement contains, among other restrictions, certain additional affirmative and negative covenants and other terms, many of which substantially align with those in the Second Lien Credit Agreement and are summarized below under “Similar Terms of the Credit Agreements.”

Second Lien Credit Agreement

Amounts borrowed under the Second Lien Credit Agreement may be either Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans. Base Rate Loans bear interest at the highest of (a) the Prime Rate, (b) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50% and (c) the LIBOR Market Index Rate plus 1.0%, provided that the Base Rate will not be less than 1.50% per annum, in each case plus 7.00% per annum. LIBOR Loans bear interest at LIBOR plus 8.00% per annum, provided that LIBOR will not be less than 0.50% per annum. Interest is due to be paid in kind on the last day of each applicable interest period (with rolling 30-day interest periods) by adding the accrued and unpaid amount thereof to the principal balance of the loans under the Second Lien Credit Agreement and then accruing interest on the increased principal amount (provided that after the discharge of our obligations under the First Lien Credit Agreement and any other senior debt obligations, interest will be paid in cash). We are required to pay certain fees to the administrative agent for the account of the lenders in connection with the Second Lien Credit Agreement.

The Second Lien Credit Agreement contains, among other restrictions, certain additional affirmative and negative covenants and other terms, many of which substantially align with those in the First Lien Credit Agreement and are summarized below under “Similar Terms of the Credit Agreements.”

Credit Agreements' Amendment

On May 12, 2023, the Credit Agreements were amended to replace the interest rate benchmark from LIBOR to SOFR. As a result, borrowings under the Credit Agreements other than Base Rate Loans, will bear interest at Term SOFR plus 0.10% plus an applicable margin as noted above for each agreement.

Similar Terms of the Credit Agreements

Each of the Credit Agreements contains certain affirmative and negative covenants and other provisions, as described in detail below, which substantially align with those contained in the other Credit Agreements.

Covenants

Each of the Credit Agreements contains, among other restrictions, certain affirmative and negative covenants, including, without limitation, requirements that we:

•

maintain liquidity of at least $25.0 million, to be comprised of unrestricted cash held in certain deposit accounts subject to control agreements, up to $5.0 million held in a certain other deposit account excluded from the collateral, the unused revolving loan commitments under the First Lien Credit Agreement (to the extent available to be drawn), and amounts on deposit in a designated collateral proceeds account and amounts on deposit in a cash collateral account;

•

not retain more than $6.5 million of cash in unrestricted property-level accounts held by our subsidiaries that are owners of real property (subject to certain exceptions);

not amend any existing sale agreements with respect to borrowing base properties to result in a reduction of cash consideration by 20% or more; and

•

not retain more than $6.5 million of cash in property-level accounts held by our subsidiaries that are owners of real property (subject to certain exceptions).

Each of the Credit Agreements also limits our ability, subject to certain exceptions, to make certain restricted payments (including payments of dividends and voluntary prepayments of certain indebtedness which includes, with respect to the First Lien Credit Agreement, voluntary prepayments under the Second Lien Credit Agreement), make certain types of investments and acquisitions, issue redeemable securities, incur additional indebtedness, incur liens on our assets, enter into agreements with a negative pledge, make certain intercompany transfers, merge, consolidate or sell all or substantially all of our assets or the equity interests in our subsidiaries, amend our organizational documents or material contracts, enter into transactions with affiliates, or enter into derivatives contracts. We are also prohibited from selling certain properties unless certain conditions are satisfied with respect to the terms of the sale agreement for such property or, in the case of Borrowing Base Properties, payment of certain release prices (certain Borrowing Base Properties also require lender consent).

The First Lien Credit Agreement and, after our Senior Debt Obligations are discharged, the Second Lien Credit Agreement, each prohibit us from (i) entering into major leases, (ii) assigning leases, (iii) discounting any rent under leases where the leased premises is at least 7,500 square feet at a borrowing base property and the discounted amount is more than $750,000 and more than 25% of the aggregate contractual base rent payable over the initial term (not including any extension options), (iv) collecting rent in advance, (v) terminating or modifying the terms of any major lease or releasing or discharging tenants from any obligations thereunder, (vi) consenting to a tenant’s assignment or subletting of a major lease, or (vii) subordinating any lease to any other deed of trust, mortgage, deed to secure debt or encumbrance, other than the mortgages already encumbering the applicable borrowing base property and the mortgages entered into in connection with the other Credit Agreement. Under the First Lien Credit Agreement, and under the Second Lien Credit Agreement after the First Lien Termination Date, any amounts equal to or greater than $2.5 million but less than $3.5 million received by or on behalf of a guarantor in consideration of any termination or modification of a lease (or the release or discharge of a tenant) are subject to restrictions on use, and such amounts that are equal to or greater than $3.5 million must be applied to reduce our outstanding obligations under the applicable Credit Agreement.

As of June 30, 2023, we were in compliance with all financial covenants under the Credit Agreements.

Mortgage Loan Activity

Dartmouth Mall Mortgage

On April 1, 2023, certain of our consolidated subsidiaries entered into a forbearance agreement as it relates to the mortgage loan secured by the property at Dartmouth Mall in North Dartmouth, Massachusetts. The loan matured on April 1, 2023 and is in default, and the borrowers were unable to thereafter comply with the terms of the forbearance agreement and repay the loan in full by June 1, 2023, and a special servicer has been appointed. We continue to pursue all available options relating to this debt. As of June 30, 2023, the mortgage loan has an outstanding balance of $53.0 million.

Cherry Hill Mall Mortgage

On May 1, 2023, certain of our consolidated subsidiaries entered into an amendment and extension to our mortgage loan secured by the property at Cherry Hill Mall in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. This agreement extends the maturity date to December 1, 2023 with a $5.0 million principal paydown at time of execution, and requires the borrower to continue making scheduled monthly debt service payments. The agreement also includes an option to extend the maturity to May 1, 2024 with an additional $5.0 million principal payment. As of June 30, 2023, the mortgage loan has an outstanding balance of $228.7 million.

Table of Contents

Woodland Mall Mortgage

Certain of our consolidated subsidiaries are party to a mortgage loan secured by the property at Woodland Mall in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The agreement has an option to extend the maturity date to October 5, 2023 and requires the borrower to continue making scheduled monthly debt service payments. In June 2023, we sold a parcel of land at Woodland Mall for $4.8 million and used net proceeds of $3.4 million from the sale to pay down the mortgage and exercise our option to extend the maturity date to October 5, 2023. As of June 30, 2023, the mortgage loan has an outstanding balance of $101.8 million.

5. CASH FLOW INFORMATION

We consider all highly liquid short-term investments with a maturity of three months or less at purchase or acquisition to be cash equivalents.

At June 30, 2023 and 2022, cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash totaled $35.2 million and $36.8 million, respectively, and

included tenant security deposits of $2.0 million and $1.8 million, respectively.

Cash paid for interest was $33.9 million and $33.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, net of amounts capitalized of $0.2 million and $45 thousand, respectively.

In our statements of cash flows, we report cash flows on our revolving facilities on a net basis. Aggregate borrowings on our First Lien Revolving Facility were $5.0 million and aggregate repayments on our First Lien Term Loan Facility were $26.3 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Aggregate repayments on our First Lien Revolving Facility and First Lien Term Loan Facility were $38.5 million and $19.8 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Accrued construction costs increased by $1.6 million and decreased by $3.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, representing non-cash changes in investment in real estate and construction in progress.

The following table provides a summary of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within the statement of cash flows.


	June 30,		December 31,		June 30,		December 31,
(in thousands of dollars)	2023		2022		2022		2021
Cash and cash equivalents	$	22,578	$	22,937	$	24,008	$	43,852
Restricted cash included in other assets		12,625		11,752		12,805		14,225
Total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash shown in the statement of cash flows	$	35,203	$	34,689	$	36,813	$	58,077

Our restricted cash consists of cash held in escrow by banks for real estate taxes and tenant deposits.

6. DERIVATIVES

In the normal course of business, we are exposed to financial market risks, including interest rate risk on our interest bearing liabilities. We attempt to limit these risks by following established risk management policies, procedures and strategies, including the use of financial instruments such as derivatives. We do not use financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

For derivatives that have been designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, the gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income” and subsequently reclassified into “Interest expense, net” in the same periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.

As of June 30, 2023, we had two total derivatives with a notional amount of $100.0 million, which were designated as cash flow hedges. In May 2023, seven derivative contracts matured.

We recognize all derivatives at fair value as either assets or liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Our derivative assets are recorded in “Deferred costs and other assets” and our derivative liabilities are recorded in “Fair value of derivative instruments.”

Over the next twelve months, we estimate that $1.5 million will be reclassified as a decrease to interest expense in connection with our designated derivatives. The recognition of these amounts could be accelerated in the event that we repay amounts outstanding on the debt instruments and do not replace them with new borrowings.

Interest Rate Swaps

As of June 30, 2023, we had interest rate swap agreements designated in qualifying hedging relationships outstanding with a weighted average base interest rate of 3.59% on a notional amount of $100.0 million and maturing in May 2024. We originally entered into these interest rate swap agreements in order to hedge the interest payments associated with our issuances of variable interest rate long term debt. The interest rate swap agreements are net settled monthly.

Table of Contents

The following table summarizes the terms and estimated fair values of our interest rate swap derivative instruments as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 based on the year they mature. The notional values provide an indication of the extent of our involvement in these instruments, but do not represent exposure to credit, interest rate or market risks.


Maturity Date	Aggregate Notional Value at June 30, 2023 (in millions of dollars)		Aggregate Fair Value at June 30, 2023 (1) (in millions of dollars)		Aggregate Fair Value at December 31, 2022 (1) (in millions of dollars)		Weighted Average Interest Rate
Derivatives in Cash Flow Hedging Relationships
Interest Rate Swaps
2024	$	100.0	$	1.5	$	1.5		3.59	%
Total	$	100.0	$	1.5	$	1.5		3.59	%

(1)

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, derivative valuations in their entirety were classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and we did not have any significant recurring fair value measurements related to derivative instruments using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3).

The tables below present the effect of derivative financial instruments on accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and on our consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:


	Three Months Ended June 30,									Six Months Ended June 30,

Amount of gain (loss) reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into interest expense	$	(1.3	)	$	1.5		$	(2.9	)	$	3.4

Credit-Risk-Related Contingent Features

We have agreements with some of our derivative counterparties that contain a provision pursuant to which, if our entity that originated such derivative instruments defaults on any of its indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then we could also be declared to be in default on our derivative obligations. As of June 30, 2023, we were not in default on any of our derivative obligations.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company did not have any derivatives in a net liability position.

7. LEASES

As Lessee

We have entered into ground leases for portions of the land at Springfield Town Center and Plymouth Meeting Mall. We have also entered into an office lease for our headquarters location, as well as vehicle, solar panel and equipment leases as a lessee. The initial terms of these agreements generally range from three to 40 years, with certain agreements containing extension options for up to an additional 60 years. Upon lease execution, the Company measures a liability for the present value of future lease payments over the noncancellable period of the lease and any renewal option period we are reasonably certain of exercising. Certain agreements require that we pay a portion of reimbursable expenses such as CAM, utilities, insurance and real estate taxes. These payments are not included in the calculation of the lease liability and are presented as variable lease costs.

Our leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit interest rate; therefore, we estimate our incremental borrowing rate to calculate the present value of remaining lease payments. In determining our incremental borrowing rate, we considered the lease term, market interest rates and estimates regarding our implied credit rating using market data with adjustments to determine an appropriate incremental borrowing rate.

As Lessor

As of June 30, 2023, the fixed contractual lease payments, including minimum rents and fixed CAM amounts, to be received over the next five years pursuant to the terms of noncancellable operating leases with initial terms greater than one year are included in the table below. The amounts presented assume that no leases are renewed and no renewal options are exercised. Additionally, the table does not include variable lease payments that may be received under certain leases for percentage rents or the reimbursement of operating costs, such as common area expenses, utilities, insurance and real estate taxes. These variable lease payments are recognized in the period when the applicable expenditures are incurred or, in the case of percentage rents, when the sales data is made available. Except for utility reimbursements, the fixed and variable lease payments are included with lease revenue in the consolidated statements of operations. Utility reimbursements are included within expense reimbursements as a separate line item in the consolidated statement of operations as their pattern of transfer is not aligned with the other payments.

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Contractual Obligations

As of June 30, 2023, we had contractual and other commitments related to our capital improvement projects and development projects of $5.9 million, including $0.1 million of commitments related to the redevelopment of Fashion District Philadelphia, in the form of tenant allowances and contracts with general service providers and other professional service providers. For purposes of this disclosure, the contractual obligations and other commitments related to Fashion District Philadelphia are included at 100% of the obligation and not at our 50% ownership share.

Preferred Dividend Arrearages

We have aggregate authorized preferred shares of 25.0 million, where each series of authorized preferred shares is equal to the number of preferred shares outstanding of that series. Dividends on the Series B, Series C and Series D preferred shares are cumulative and therefore will continue to accrue at an annual rate of $1.8436 per share, $1.8000 per share and $1.7188 per share, respectively. As of June 30, 2023, the cumulative amount of unpaid dividends on our issued and outstanding preferred shares totaled $82.1 million. This consisted of unpaid dividends per share on the Series B, Series C and Series D preferred shares of $5.53 per share, $5.40 per share and $5.16 per share, respectively. In accordance with the provisions of the designating amendments of the Company's Amended and Restated Trust Agreement, two of the independent trustees on our Board of Trustees have been elected by our preferred shareholders.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

The following analysis of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this report. The disclosures in this report are complementary to those made in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (our “2022 Form 10-K”).

OVERVIEW

We currently own interests in 23 properties as of June 30, 2023, of which 22 are operating properties and one is a development property. The 22 operating properties include 19 shopping malls and three other retail properties, have a total of 18.3 million square feet and are located in eight states. We and partnerships in which we hold an interest, own 14.0 million square feet at these properties (excluding space owned by anchors or third parties).

As of June 30, 2023, there are 16 operating retail properties in our portfolio that we consolidate for financial reporting purposes. These consolidated properties have a total of 13.7 million square feet, of which we own 10.8 million square feet. The six operating retail properties that are owned by unconsolidated partnerships with third parties have a total of 4.6 million square feet of which 3.3 million square feet are owned by such partnerships. When we refer to “Same Store” properties, we are referring to properties that have been owned for the full periods presented and exclude properties acquired, disposed of, under redevelopment or designated as a non-core property during the periods presented. “Core Malls” excludes Exton Square Mall and power centers, Valley View Mall for which a foreclosure sale was completed in May 2022, and Cumberland Mall and our interest in Gloucester Premium Outlets, which were both sold in 2022.

We have one property in our portfolio that is classified as under development; however, we do not currently have any activity occurring at this property.

We are a fully integrated, self-managed and self-administered REIT that has elected to be treated as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. In general, we are required each year to distribute to our shareholders at least 90% of our net taxable income and to meet certain other requirements in order to maintain the favorable tax treatment associated with qualifying as a REIT.

Our primary business is owning, operating and redeveloping shopping malls, which we do primarily through our operating partnership, PREIT Associates, L.P. (“PREIT Associates” or the “Operating Partnership”). We believe our distinctive real estate is at the forefront of enabling communities to flourish through the built environment by providing opportunities to create vibrant multi-use destinations. In general, our malls include carefully curated retail and lifestyle offerings, including national and regional department stores, large format retailers and other anchors, mixed with destination dining and entertainment experiences. In recent years, we have increased the portion of our mall properties that are leased to non-traditional mall tenants, including life sciences, healthcare, supermarkets and self-storage facilities.

We provide management, leasing and real estate development services through PREIT Services, LLC (“PREIT Services”), which generally develops and manages properties that we consolidate for financial reporting purposes, and PREIT-RUBIN, Inc. (“PRI”), which generally develops and manages properties that we do not consolidate for financial reporting purposes, including properties owned by partnerships in which we own an interest, and properties that are owned by third parties in which we do not have an interest. PRI is a taxable REIT subsidiary, as defined by federal tax laws, which means that it is able to offer additional services to tenants without jeopardizing our continuing qualification as a REIT under federal tax law.

Our revenue consists primarily of fixed rental income, additional rent in the form of expense reimbursements, and percentage rent (rent that is based on a percentage of our tenants’ sales or a percentage of sales in excess of thresholds that are specified in the leases) derived from our income producing properties. We also receive income from our real estate partnership investments and from the management and leasing services PRI provides.

Table of Contents

Our net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $45.6 million compared to net loss of $11.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The $34.5 increase in net loss was primarily due to: (a) an increase in interest expense of $10.6 million; (b) a decrease in real estate revenue of $5.7 million; (c) an increase in loss of partnerships of $2.8 million; and (d) a decrease in gain on sale of non operating real estate of $7.7 million; and (e) a decrease in the gain on sale of equity method investment of $9.1 million.

Our net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $91.4 million compared to net loss of $44.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The $47.3 million increase in net loss was primarily due to: (a) an increase in interest expense of $20.2 million; (b) a decrease in real estate revenue of $7.8 million; (c) an increase in loss of partnerships of $5.1 million; and (d) a decrease in gain on sale of preferred equity interest of $3.7 million; (e) an decrease of in gain on sale of equity method investment of $9.1 million; and (f) a decrease in the gain on sale of interest in real estate of $1.7 million.

We evaluate operating results and allocate resources on a property-by-property basis, and do not distinguish or evaluate our consolidated operations on a geographic basis. Due to the nature of our operating properties, which involve retail shopping, dining and entertainment, we have concluded that our individual properties have similar economic characteristics and meet all other aggregation criteria. Accordingly, we have aggregated our individual properties into one reportable segment. In addition, no single tenant accounts for 10% or more of our consolidated revenue, and none of our properties are located outside the United States.

We hold our interest in our portfolio of properties through the Operating Partnership. We are the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and, as of June 30, 2023, held a 98.7% controlling interest in the Operating Partnership, and consolidated it for reporting purposes. We hold our investments in six of the 22 operating retail properties and the one development property in our portfolio through unconsolidated partnerships with third parties in which we own a 40% to 50% interest.

Dispositions

See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements for a description of our dispositions for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

Anchor Replacements

In recent years, through property dispositions, proactive store recaptures, lease terminations and other activities, we have made efforts to reduce our risks associated with certain department store concentrations.

Construction was completed in the first quarter of 2020 at a former Sears space at Dartmouth Mall in North Dartmouth, Massachusetts. We are working to add large format and other prospects in the additional space adjacent to already occupied spaces and in an outparcel space.

Sears closed its stores at Moorestown Mall in Moorestown, New Jersey and Jacksonville Mall in Jacksonville, North Carolina in April 2020. Sears continues to be financially obligated pursuant to the lease at the Jacksonville Mall location. In July 2021, the former Sears site at Moorestown Mall was sold to Cooper University Health Care. Sears at Francis Scott Key Mall closed in 2023 and Sears remains financially obligated for this space and has plans to repurpose the building.

In May 2020, J.C. Penney filed for bankruptcy and announced the closure of its stores at The Mall at Prince George's in Hyattsville, Maryland, and Magnolia Mall in Florence, South Carolina. The Magnolia Mall location has been leased to Tilt Studio, an entertainment concept that opened in October 2021. The former J.C. Penney location at Willow Grow Park in Willow Grove, PA has been leased to Tilted 10, which fully opened in July 2023.

In response to anchor store closings and other trends in the retail space, we have been changing the mix of tenants at our properties. In general, our malls include national and regional department stores, large format retailers and other anchors, mixed with destination dining and entertainment experiences, however, in recent years, we have been reducing the percentage of traditional mall tenants and increasing the share of space dedicated to non-traditional mall tenants. Approximately 27.7% of our mall space is committed to non-traditional tenants offering services such as dining and entertainment, health and wellness, off-price retail and fast fashion. See “— Capital Improvements, Redevelopment and Development Projects.”

To fund the capital necessary to replace anchors and to maintain a reasonable level of leverage, we expect to use a variety of means available to us, subject to and in accordance with the terms of our Credit Agreements. These steps might include (i) making additional borrowings under our Credit Agreements (assuming availability and continued compliance with the financial covenants thereunder), (ii) obtaining construction loans on specific projects, (iii) selling properties or interests in properties with values in excess of their mortgage loans (if applicable) and applying the excess proceeds to fund capital expenditures or for debt reduction, or (iv) obtaining capital from joint ventures or other partnerships or arrangements involving our contribution of assets with institutional investors, private equity investors or other REITs.

Capital Improvements, Redevelopment and Development Projects

We might engage in various types of capital improvement projects at our operating properties. Such projects vary in cost and complexity and can include building out new or existing space for individual tenants, upgrading common areas or exterior areas such as parking lots, or redeveloping the entire property, among other projects. Project costs are accumulated in “Construction in progress” on our consolidated balance sheet until the asset is placed into service and amounted to $42.3 million as of June 30, 2023.

As of June 30, 2023, we had contractual and other commitments related to our capital improvement projects and development projects at our consolidated and unconsolidated properties of $5.9 million, including $0.1 million of commitments related to the redevelopment of Fashion District Philadelphia, in the form of contracts with general service providers and other professional service providers.

In 2014, we entered into a 50/50 joint venture with The Macerich Company ("Macerich") to redevelop Fashion District Philadelphia.

In January 2018, the Company and Macerich entered into a $250.0 million term loan (as amended in July 2019 to increase the total maximum potential borrowings to $350.0 million) to fund the ongoing redevelopment of Fashion District Philadelphia and to repay capital contributions to the venture previously made by the partners. A total of $51.0 million was drawn during the third quarter of 2019 and we received aggregate distributions of $25.0 million as our share of the draws. On December 10, 2020, PM Gallery LP, together with certain other subsidiaries owned indirectly by us and Macerich (including the fee and leasehold owners of the properties that are part of the Fashion District Philadelphia project), entered into an Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement (the “FDP Loan Agreement”). In connection with the execution of the FDP Loan Agreement, a $100.0 million principal payment was made (and funded indirectly by Macerich, the “Partnership Loan”) to pay down the existing loan, reducing the outstanding principal under the FDP Loan Agreement from $301.0 million to $201.0 million. The joint venture must repay the Partnership Loan plus 15% accrued interest to Macerich, in its capacity as the lender, prior to the resumption of 50/50 cash distributions to us and Macerich. In connection with the execution of the FDP Loan Agreement, the governing structure of PM Gallery LP was modified such that, effective as of January 1, 2021, Macerich is responsible for the entity’s operations and, subject to limited exceptions, controls major decisions. The Company considered the changes to the governing structure of PM Gallery LP and determined the investment qualifies as a variable interest entity and would continue to be accounted for under the equity method of accounting.

The FDP Loan Agreement provides for (i) a maturity date of January 22, 2024, (after exercising the one-year extension upon the borrowers’ satisfaction of certain conditions), (ii) an interest rate at the borrowers’ option with respect to each advance of either (A) the Base Rate (defined as the highest of (a) the Prime Rate, (b) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, and (c) the LIBOR Market Index Rate plus 1.00%) plus 2.50% or (B) LIBOR for the applicable period plus 3.50%, (iii) a full recourse guarantee of 50% of the borrowers’ obligations by PREIT Associates, L.P., on a several basis, (iv) a full recourse guarantee of certain of the borrowers’ obligations by The Macerich Partnership, L.P., up to a

Table of Contents

maximum of $50.0 million, on a several basis, (v) a pledge of the equity interests of certain indirect subsidiaries of PREIT and Macerich, as well as of PREIT-RUBIN, Inc. and one of its subsidiaries, that have a direct or indirect ownership interest in the borrowers, (vi) a non-recourse carve-out guaranty and a hazardous materials indemnity by each of PREIT Associates, L.P. and The Macerich Partnership, L.P., and (vii) mortgages of the borrowers’ fee and leasehold interests in the properties that are part of the Fashion District Philadelphia project and certain other properties. In January 2023, the FDP Loan Agreement was amended to replace the interest rate benchmark from LIBOR to SOFR. The Base Rate is defined as the highest of (a) the Prime Rate, (b) the Federal Funds Rate plus one half (0.50%) and (c) Adjusted Term SOFR for a one-month tenor plus one percent (1.00%). The FDP Loan Agreement contains certain covenants typical for loans of its type. In 2022, the joint venture made multiple paydowns on the FDP Loan Agreement balance by $90.2 million in order to comply with the financial covenants. In January 2023, the joint venture paid down an additional $26.1 million of the FDP Loan Agreement balance as part of the option that it exercised to extend the FDP Loan Agreement maturity date to January 22, 2024. If the joint venture fails to meet the debt yield covenant as of any quarter end measurement date and does not pay down the term loan to achieve compliance, the term loan could come due and payable at that time. In April 2023, the joint venture paid down an additional $2.5 million of the FDP Loan Agreement balance.

We also own an interest in a development property, but we do not expect to make any significant investment at this property in the short term.

Going Concern

As described in Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements, as of June 30, 2023, we had outstanding borrowings of $995.5 million under our Term Loans and $27.5 million under our First Lien Revolving Facility. As discussed herein, our loans under our Credit Agreements mature and come due in December 2023 and the FDP Term Loan (our 50% share of which we have guaranteed) matures and comes due in January 2024, and we do not have, nor do we expect to have sufficient cash flow to repay this indebtedness at maturity. For more information, see “Risk Factors – We have determined that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern” in Part II, Item 1.A of this report.

We are working to address the upcoming maturity of this indebtedness by pursuing all available alternatives. The Company has been working with PJT Partners, a global advisory investment bank with expertise in real estate and restructuring, to pursue and evaluate options to address the Company’s debt and has been exploring a range of strategic alternatives. Although the Company has sold assets generating over $30.0 million in 2023 and has applied those proceeds and cash from operations to pay down debt by over $50.0 million in 2023 and is actively pursuing closing transactions already subject to agreement, no assurance can be provided that we will be able to refinance, restructure or repay the indebtedness at maturity or to continue as a going concern.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Critical Accounting Policies are those that require the application of management’s most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often because of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and that might change in subsequent periods. In preparing the unaudited consolidated financial statements, management has made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. In preparing the unaudited consolidated financial statements, management has utilized available information, including our past history, industry standards and the current economic environment, among other factors, in forming its estimates and judgments, giving due consideration to materiality. Management has also considered events and changes in property, market and economic conditions, estimated future cash flows from property operations and the risk of loss on specific accounts or amounts in determining its estimates and judgments. Actual results may differ from these estimates. In addition, other companies may utilize different estimates, which may affect comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in a similar business. The estimates and assumptions made by management in applying critical accounting policies have not changed materially during 2023 and 2022, except as otherwise noted, and none of these estimates or assumptions have proven to be materially incorrect or resulted in our recording any significant adjustments relating to prior periods. We will continue to monitor the key factors underlying our estimates and judgments, but no change is currently expected.

For additional information regarding our Critical Accounting Policies, see “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in Part II, Item 7 of our 2022 Form 10-K.

Asset Impairment

Real estate investments and related intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the property might not be recoverable, which is referred to as a triggering event. A property to be held and used is considered impaired only if management’s estimate of the aggregate future cash flows, less estimated capital expenditures, to be generated by the property, undiscounted and without interest charges, are less than the carrying value of the property. This estimate takes into consideration factors such as expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of demand, competition and other factors.

If there is a triggering event in relation to a property to be held and used, we will estimate the aggregate future cash flows, less estimated capital expenditures, to be generated by the property, undiscounted and without interest charges. In addition, this estimate may consider a probability weighted cash flow estimation approach when alternative courses of action to recover the carrying amount of a long-lived asset are under consideration or when a range of possible values is estimated.

The determination of undiscounted cash flows requires significant estimates by management, including the expected course of action at the balance sheet date that would lead to such cash flows. Subsequent changes in estimated undiscounted cash flows arising from changes in the anticipated action to be taken with respect to the property could impact the determination of whether an impairment exists and whether the effects could materially affect our net income. To the extent estimated undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the property, the loss will be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the property over the estimated fair value of the property. Our intent is to hold and operate our properties long-term, which reduces the likelihood that our carrying value is not recoverable. A shortened holding period would increase the likelihood that the carrying value is not recoverable.

Assessment of our ability to recover certain lease related costs must be made when we have a reason to believe that the tenant might not be able to perform under the terms of the lease as originally expected. This requires us to make estimates as to the recoverability of such costs.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, there were no impairment losses.

Revenue and Receivables

We derive over 98% of our revenue from tenant rent and other tenant-related activities. Tenant rent includes base rent, percentage rent, expense reimbursements (such as reimbursements of costs of common area maintenance (“CAM”), real estate taxes and utilities), and the amortization of above-market and below-market lease intangibles.

We record base rent on a straight-line basis, which means that the monthly base rent revenue according to the terms of our leases with our tenants is adjusted so that an average monthly rent is recorded for each tenant over the term of its lease, provided that it is probable that we will collect substantially all of the lease revenue that is due under the terms of the lease both at inception and on an ongoing basis. When collectability of lease revenue is not probable, leases are prospectively accounted for on a cash basis and any difference between the revenue that has been accrued and the cash collected from the tenant over the life of the lease is recognized as a current period adjustment to lease revenue. We review the collectability of our tenant receivables related to tenant rent including base rent, straight-line rent, expense reimbursements and other revenue or income by specifically analyzing billed and unbilled revenues, including straight-line rent receivable, and considering historical collection issues, tenant creditworthiness and current economic and industry trends. Our revenue recognition and receivables collectability analysis places particular emphasis on past-due accounts and considers the nature and age of the receivables, the payment history and financial condition of the payor, the basis for any disputes or negotiations with the payor, and other information that could affect collectability.

When tenants vacate prior to the end of their lease, we accelerate amortization of any related unamortized straight-line rent balances, and unamortized above-market and below-market intangible balances are amortized as a decrease or increase to real estate revenue, respectively.

Percentage rent represents rental revenue that the tenant pays based on a percentage of its sales, either as a percentage of its total sales or as a percentage of sales over a certain threshold. In the latter case, we do not record percentage rent until the sales threshold has been reached.

Revenue for rent received from tenants prior to their due dates is deferred until the period to which the rent applies.

In addition to base rent, certain lease agreements contain provisions that require tenants to reimburse a fixed or pro rata share of certain CAM costs, real estate taxes and utilities. Tenants generally make monthly expense reimbursement payments based on a budgeted amount determined at the beginning of the year.

Certain lease agreements contain co-tenancy clauses that can change the amount of rent or the type of rent that tenants are required to pay, or, in some cases, can allow the tenant to terminate their lease, in the event that certain events take place, such as a decline in property occupancy levels below certain defined levels or the vacating of an anchor store. Co-tenancy clauses do not generally have any retroactive effect when they are triggered. The effect of co-tenancy clauses is applied on a prospective basis to recognize the new rent that is in effect.

Table of Contents

Payments made to tenants as inducements to enter into a lease are treated as deferred costs that are amortized as a reduction of rental revenue over the term of the related lease.

Lease termination fee revenue is recognized in the period when a termination agreement is signed, collectability is assured, and the tenant has vacated the space. In the event that a tenant is in bankruptcy when the termination agreement is signed, termination fee income is deferred and recognized when it is received.

Utility reimbursement revenue is presented separate from rental revenue based on actual usage as the pattern of transfer is not aligned with the use of the property.

Other real estate revenue includes income generated from seasonal events at our properties, partnership promotional initiatives, miscellaneous services to tenants and solar revenue.

We also generate revenue by providing management services to third parties, including property management, brokerage, leasing and development. Management fees generally are a percentage of managed property revenue or cash receipts. Leasing fees are earned upon the consummation of new leases. Development fees are earned over the time period of the development activity and are recognized on the percentage of completion method. These activities are collectively included in other income in the consolidated statements of operations.

Property management revenue from management and development activities is generated through contracts with third party owners of real estate properties or with certain of our joint ventures, and is recorded in other income in the consolidated statements of operations. In the case of management fees, our performance obligations are fulfilled over time as the management services are performed and the associated revenues are recognized on a monthly basis when the customer is billed. In the case of development fees, our performance obligations are fulfilled over time as we perform certain stipulated development activities as set forth in the respective development agreements and the associated revenues are recognized on a monthly basis when the customer is billed.

New Accounting Developments

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $45.6 million compared to net loss of $11.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The $34.5 million increase in net loss was primarily due to: (a) an increase in interest expense of $10.6 million; (b) a decrease in real estate revenue of $5.7 million; (c) an increase in loss of partnerships of $2.8 million; and (d) a decrease in gain on sales of non operating real estate of $7.7 million; and (e) a decrease in gain on sale of equity method investment of $9.1 million.

Our net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $91.4 million compared to net loss of $44.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The $47.4 million increase in net loss was primarily due to: (a) an increase in interest expense of $20.2 million; (b) a decrease in real estate revenue of $7.8 million; (c) an increase in loss of partnerships of $5.1 million; and (d) a decrease in gain on sale of preferred equity interest of $3.7 million; (e) a decrease in gain on sale of equity method investment of $9.1 million; and (f) a decrease in gain on sales of interest in real estate of $1.7 million.

(1) Initial gross rent renewal spread is computed by comparing the initial rent per square foot in the new lease to the final rent per square foot amount in the expiring lease. For purposes of this computation, the rent amount includes minimum rent, CAM charges, estimated real estate tax reimbursements and marketing charges, but excludes percentage rent. In certain cases, a lower rent amount may be payable for a period of time until specified conditions in the lease are satisfied.

(2) Average rent renewal spread is computed by comparing the average rent per square foot over the new lease term to the final rent per square foot amount in the expiring lease. For purposes of this computation, the rent amount includes minimum rent and fixed CAM charges, but excludes pro rata CAM charges, estimated real estate tax reimbursements, marketing charges and percentage rent.

(3) These leasing costs are presented as annualized amounts per square foot and are spread uniformly over the initial lease term.

(4) Includes 11 leases and 68,066 square feet of GLA with respect to our unconsolidated partnerships. We own a 40% to 50% interest in each of our unconsolidated properties and do not control such properties. Our percentage ownership is not necessarily indicative of the legal and economic implications of our ownership interest. See “— Non-GAAP Supplemental Financial Measures” for further details on our ownership interests in our unconsolidated properties.

The amounts in the preceding table reflect our consolidated properties and our unconsolidated properties. Our unconsolidated properties are presented under the equity method of accounting in the line item “Equity in (loss) income of partnerships.”

Real Estate Revenue

We include all rental income earned pursuant to tenant leases under the “Lease revenue” line item in the consolidated statements of operations. Utility reimbursements are presented separately in “Expense reimbursements” as the pattern of transfer is not aligned with the use of the property. We review the collectability of both billed and unbilled lease revenues each reporting period, taking into consideration the tenant’s payment history, credit profile and other factors, including the tenant’s operating performance. For any tenant receivable balance deemed to be uncollectible, we record an offset for credit losses directly to Lease revenue in the consolidated statements of operations.

The following table reports the breakdown of real estate revenues based on the terms of the lease contracts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased by $0.3 million, or 3.6%, in the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022 primarily due to higher professional fees partially offset by lower incentive compensation expenses in 2023.

General and administrative expenses decreased by less than ten thousand dollars, or 0.0%, in the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022 primarily due to lower incentive compensation expenses partially offset by higher professional fees in 2023.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased by $10.6 million, or 32.4%, in the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. This increase was primarily due to higher weighted average interest rates. Our weighted average effective borrowing rate was 9.92% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to 7.07% for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Our weighted average debt balance was $1,742.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $1,846.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Interest expense increased by $20.2 million, or 31.6%, in the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to six months ended June 30, 2022.

NON-GAAP SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL MEASURES

Overview

The preceding discussion analyzes our financial condition and results of operations in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, for the periods presented. We also use Net Operating Income (“NOI”) and Funds from Operations (“FFO”) which are non-GAAP financial measures, to supplement our analysis and discussion of our operating performance:

•

We believe that NOI is helpful to management and investors as a measure of operating performance because it is an indicator of the return on property investment and provides a method of comparing property performance over time. When we use and present NOI, we also do so on a same store (“Same Store NOI”) and non-same store (“Non Same Store NOI”) basis to differentiate between properties that we have owned for the full periods presented and properties acquired, sold or under redevelopment during those periods. Furthermore, our use and presentation of NOI combines NOI from our consolidated properties and NOI attributable to our share of unconsolidated properties in order to arrive at total NOI. We believe that this is also helpful information because it reflects the pro rata contribution from our unconsolidated properties that are owned through investments accounted for under GAAP as equity in income of partnerships. See “Unconsolidated Properties and Proportionate Financial Information” below.

•

We believe that FFO is also helpful to management and investors as a measure of operating performance because it excludes various items included in net loss that do not relate to or are not indicative of operating performance, such as gains on sales of operating real estate and depreciation and amortization of real estate, among others. In addition to FFO and FFO per diluted share and OP Unit, when applicable, we also present FFO, as adjusted and FFO per diluted share and OP Unit, as adjusted, which we believe is helpful to management and investors because they adjust FFO to exclude items that management does not believe are indicative of operating performance, such as gain on debt extinguishment and insurance recoveries.

•

We use both NOI and FFO, or related terms like Same Store NOI and, when applicable, Funds From Operations, as adjusted, for determining incentive compensation amounts under certain of our performance-based executive compensation programs.

NOI and FFO are commonly used non-GAAP financial measures of operating performance in the real estate industry, and we use them as supplemental non-GAAP measures to compare our performance between different periods and to compare our performance to that of our industry peers. Our computation of NOI, FFO and other non-GAAP financial measures, such as Same Store NOI, Non Same Store NOI, NOI attributable to our share of unconsolidated properties, and FFO, as adjusted, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by our industry peers. None of these measures are measures of performance in accordance with GAAP, and they have limitations as analytical tools. They should not be considered as alternative measures of our net loss, operating performance, cash flow or liquidity. They are not indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions. Please see below for a discussion of these non-GAAP measures and their respective reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

Unconsolidated Properties and Proportionate Financial Information

The non-GAAP financial measures presented below incorporate financial information attributable to our share of unconsolidated properties. This proportionate financial information is non-GAAP financial information, but we believe that it is helpful information because it reflects the pro rata contribution from our unconsolidated properties that are owned through investments accounted for under GAAP using the equity method of accounting. Under such method, earnings from these unconsolidated partnerships are recorded in our statements of operations prepared in accordance with GAAP under the caption entitled “Equity in (loss) income of partnerships.”

To derive the proportionate financial information reflected in the tables below as “unconsolidated,” we multiplied the percentage of our economic interest in each partnership on a property-by-property basis by each line item. Under the partnership agreements relating to our current unconsolidated partnerships with third parties, we own a 40% to 50% economic interest in such partnerships, and there are generally no provisions in such partnership agreements relating to special non-pro rata allocations of income or loss, and there are no preferred or priority returns of capital or other similar provisions. While this method approximates our indirect economic interest in our pro rata share of the revenue and expenses of our unconsolidated partnerships, we do not have a direct legal claim to the assets, liabilities, revenues or expenses of the unconsolidated partnerships beyond our rights as an equity owner in the event of any liquidation of such entity. Our percentage ownership is not necessarily indicative of the legal and economic implications of our ownership interest. Accordingly, NOI and FFO results based on our share of the results of unconsolidated partnerships do not represent cash generated from our investments in these partnerships.

We have determined that we hold a noncontrolling interest in each of our unconsolidated partnerships, and account for such partnerships using the equity method of accounting, because:

•

Except for one property that we co-manage with our partner, all of the other entities are managed on a day-to-day basis by one of our other partners as the managing general partner in each of the respective partnerships. In the case of the co-managed property, all decisions in the ordinary course of business are made jointly.

•

The managing general partner is responsible for establishing the operating and capital decisions of the partnership, including budgets, in the ordinary course of business.

•

All major decisions of each partnership, such as the sale, refinancing, expansion or rehabilitation of the property, require the approval of all partners.

•

Voting rights and the sharing of profits and losses are generally in proportion to the ownership percentages of each partner.

We hold legal title to a property owned by one of our unconsolidated partnerships through a tenancy in common arrangement. For this property, such legal title is held by us and another entity, and each has an undivided interest in title to the property. With respect to this property, under the applicable agreements between us and the entity with ownership interests, we and such other entity have joint control because decisions regarding matters such as the sale, refinancing, expansion or rehabilitation of the property require the approval of both us and the other entity owning an interest in the property. Hence, we account for this property like our other unconsolidated partnerships using the equity method of accounting. The balance sheet items arising from this property appear under the caption “Investments in partnerships, at equity.”

For further information regarding our unconsolidated partnerships, see Note 3 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Net Operating Income (“NOI”)

NOI (a non-GAAP measure) is derived from real estate revenue (determined in accordance with GAAP, including lease termination revenue), minus property operating expenses (determined in accordance with GAAP), plus our pro rata share of revenue and property operating expenses of our unconsolidated partnership investments. NOI does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered to be an alternative to net loss (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of our financial performance or to be an alternative to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our liquidity. It is not indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions. We believe NOI is helpful to management and investors as a measure of operating performance because it is an indicator of the return on property investment, and provides a method of comparing property performance over time. We believe that net loss is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to NOI. NOI excludes other income and expense, depreciation and amortization, general and administrative expenses, other expenses (which includes provision for employee separation expense and project costs), interest expense, net, equity in loss/income of partnerships, gain/loss on sales of real estate, and gain/loss on sale of equity method investment.

Same Store NOI is calculated using retail properties owned for the full periods presented and excludes properties acquired or disposed of, under redevelopment, or designated as non-core during the periods presented. Non Same Store NOI is calculated using the retail properties excluded from the calculation of Same Store NOI.

Funds From Operations (“FFO”)

The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) defines Funds From Operations (“FFO”), which is a non-GAAP measure commonly used by REITs, as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding (i) depreciation and amortization of real estate, (ii) gains and losses on sales of certain real estate assets, (iii) gains and losses from change in control and (iv) impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity. We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by NAREIT, which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition, or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do. NAREIT’s established guidance provides that excluding impairment write downs of depreciable real estate is consistent with the NAREIT definition.

FFO is a commonly used measure of operating performance and profitability among REITs. We use FFO and FFO per diluted share and unit of limited partnership interest in our operating partnership (“OP Unit”) in measuring our performance against our peers and have used it as one of the performance measures for determining incentive compensation amounts earned under certain of our performance-based executive compensation programs.

FFO does not include gains and losses on sales of operating real estate assets or impairment write downs of depreciable real estate (including development land parcels), which are included in the determination of net loss in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, FFO is not a comprehensive measure of our operating cash flows. In addition, since FFO does not include depreciation on real estate assets, FFO may not be a useful performance measure when comparing our operating performance to that of other non-real estate commercial enterprises. We compensate for these limitations by using FFO in conjunction with other GAAP financial performance measures, such as net loss and net cash used in operating activities, and other non-GAAP financial performance measures, such as NOI. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered to be an alternative to net loss (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of our financial performance or to be an alternative to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions. We believe that net loss is the most directly comparable GAAP measurement to FFO.

When applicable, we also present FFO, as adjusted, and FFO per diluted share and OP Unit, as adjusted, which are non-GAAP measures, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, to show the effect of such items as provision for employee separation expense, insurance recoveries or losses, net, and gain on sale of preferred equity interest which had an effect on our results of operations, but are not, in our opinion, indicative of our ongoing operating performance.

We believe that FFO is helpful to management and investors as a measure of operating performance because it excludes various items included in net loss that do not relate to or are not indicative of operating performance, such as gains on sales of operating real estate and depreciation and amortization of real estate, among others. We believe that Funds From Operations, as adjusted, is helpful to management and investors as a measure of operating performance because it adjusts FFO to exclude items that management does not believe are indicative of our operating performance, such as provision for employee separation expense, gain on hedge ineffectiveness and reorganization expenses.

(1) Does not include the impact of $6.8 million and $13.7 million of undeclared and unpaid preferred share dividends for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and the $6.8 million and $13.7 million of undeclared and unpaid preferred share dividends for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. The Company cannot declare and pay cash dividends on common shares while there exists a preferred dividend arrearage.

FFO attributable to common shareholders and OP Unit holders was loss of $17.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, a decrease of $26.3 million, or 282.9%, compared to $9.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022.

FFO attributable to common shareholders and OP Unit holders was a loss of $33.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, a decrease of $41.5 million, or 511.1%, compared to $8.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. This change was primarily due to:

•

a $20.2 million increase in interest expense which was due to higher debt and weighted average interest rates; and

•

a $3.7 million decrease in gain on sale of preferred equity interest; and

•

a $7.7 million decrease in gain on sales of non-operating real estate.

FFO attributable to common shareholders and OP Unit holders per diluted share and OP Unit was $(3.15) and $1.72 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

FFO attributable to common shareholders and OP Unit holders per diluted share and OP Unit was $(6.20) and $1.51 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

FFO, as adjusted, attributable to common shareholders and OP Unit holders per diluted share and OP Unit was $(3.15) and $1.71 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

FFO, as adjusted, attributable to common shareholders and OP Unit holders per diluted share and OP Unit was $(6.20) and $0.83 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

This “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section contains certain “forward-looking statements” that relate to expectations and projections that are not historical facts. These forward-looking statements reflect our current views about our future liquidity and capital resources, and are subject to risks and uncertainties that might cause our actual liquidity and capital resources to differ materially from the forward-looking

Table of Contents

statements. Additional factors that might affect our liquidity and capital resources include those discussed herein and in the section entitled “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2022 Form 10-K. We do not intend to update or revise any forward-looking statements about our liquidity and capital resources to reflect new information, future events or otherwise.

Capital Resources

We currently expect to meet certain of our liquidity requirements, including operating expenses, recurring capital expenditures, tenant improvements and leasing commissions, generally through our available working capital and our First Lien Revolving Facility, which matures in 2023 and otherwise subject to the terms and conditions of our First Lien Credit Agreement. See “Credit Agreements—Similar terms of the Credit Agreements” below for covenant information. As discussed below, our loans under our Credit Agreements mature and come due in December 2023, the FDP Term Loan (our 50% share of which we have guaranteed) matures and comes due in January 2024, and mortgages secured by three of our properties are due in 2023, and we do not have, nor do we expect to have sufficient cash flow to repay this indebtedness at maturity. We are working to address the upcoming maturity of this indebtedness by pursuing all available alternatives. With the assistance of our advisors, we have been actively exploring a range of strategic alternatives, including marketing the Company’s properties for sale, pursuing a variety of strategic transactions, and refinancing or restructuring indebtedness. We have also been engaging in discussions with our lenders. Although the Company has sold assets generating over $30.0 million in 2023 and has applied those proceeds and cash from operations to pay down debt by over $50.0 million in 2023, and is actively pursuing closing transactions already subject to agreement, no assurance can be provided that we will be able to refinance, restructure or repay the indebtedness at maturity.

We expect to spend approximately $5.9 million related to our capital improvements and development projects in 2023. We believe that our net cash provided by operations will be sufficient to allow us to make any distributions necessary to enable us to continue to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Our Credit Agreements limit our ability to declare and pay dividends on our common and preferred shares, subject to certain exceptions. We have deferred payments on our preferred shares and suspended payments on our common shares since the third quarter of 2020. Other than as may be required to maintain our status as a REIT, we do not anticipate that we will pay any cash dividends to holders of our common or preferred shares for the foreseeable future.

As a result of the existing cumulative unpaid dividends on our preferred shares and our bankruptcy filing, we are no longer able to register the offer and sale of securities on Form S-3. This creates additional limitations on our ability to raise capital in the capital markets, potentially increasing our costs of raising capital in the future. Our ability to raise capital in the capital markets may also be impacted by market fluctuations more generally, and general economic conditions.

As of June 30, 2023, our capital raised includes cash proceeds of $29.7 million from assets sold, and through our operations, we generated $33.1 million.

We had availability under our First Lien Revolving Facility of $102.5 million as of June 30, 2023 and in August 2023, we borrowed $15.0 million under such First Lien Revolving Facility. We have been focused on improving operational efficiency and driving stable and increasing cash flows from operations while advancing our portfolio, including by undertaking, with the assistance of outside advisors, a thorough review of our business and capital structure and evaluating a wide range of opportunities to further strengthen our balance sheet and financial flexibility. We are actively seeking to raise additional capital, including through asset dispositions identified through our portfolio property reviews. Disposing of these properties can enable us to redeploy or recycle our capital to other uses, primarily to pay down debt. In many cases, we are marketing land parcels for development for a variety of different nontraditional, non-retail uses, including hotel, multifamily residential and healthcare uses, which we believe can also help position our portfolio within differentiated mixed-use environments.

We have executed agreements of sale for various land parcels across multiple properties. The proceeds from our anticipated property sales pursuant to these sale agreements will primarily be used to repay amounts outstanding under our Credit Agreements. We are also in various stages of negotiations for the sale of land parcels for multifamily residential development, and the sale of land parcels for hotel development. Each of these transactions is subject to numerous closing conditions, including the completion of due diligence and securing of entitlements, which in most cases requires zoning variances and similar approvals. The closing of these transactions and the timing of completion cannot be estimated with certainty, in particular not all transactions are expected to close in 2023, and certain of them are expected to extend into 2024 or later.

The following are some of the factors that could affect our cash flows and require the funding of future cash distributions, recurring capital expenditures, tenant improvements or leasing commissions with sources other than operating cash flows:

•

adverse changes or prolonged downturns in general, local or retail industry economic, financial, credit or capital market or competitive conditions, inflationary pressures including increased interest rates or otherwise, leading to a reduction in real estate revenue or cash flows or an increase in expenses;

•

continued deterioration in our tenants’ business operations and financial stability, which were exacerbated by the extended impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and may be further impacted by overall economic conditions, weak consumer confidence and the possibility of economic slowdown or recession, including anchor or non-anchor tenant bankruptcies, leasing delays or terminations, or lower sales, causing deferrals or declines in rent, percentage rent and cash flows;

Table of Contents

•

inability to achieve targets for, or decreases in, property occupancy and rental rates, resulting in lower or delayed real estate revenue and operating income;

•

costs associated with negotiating and implementing asset dispositions, particularly if delays are experienced or agreements are terminated and new transactions must be pursued;

•

increases in operating costs, including increases that cannot be passed on to tenants, resulting in reduced operating income and cash flows; and

•

increases in interest rates, resulting in higher borrowing costs.

The impact of the above factors and extent and duration of such effects are uncertain, regularly evolving and difficult to predict.

LIBOR Alternative

In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”), which is the authority that regulates LIBOR, announced it intends to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. The Alternative Reference Rates Committee (“ARRC”) has identified the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as the rate that represents best practice as the alternative to USD-LIBOR for use in derivatives and other financial contracts that are currently indexed to USD-LIBOR. The FCA no longer publishes one-week and two-month U.S. dollar LIBOR rates and ceased publishing all other LIBOR tenors (overnight, one-month, three-month, six-month and 12-month) on June 30, 2023. It is not presently known whether SOFR or any other alternative reference rates will attain broad market acceptance as replacements of LIBOR. There remains uncertainty as to how the financial services industry will address the discontinuance of LIBOR in financial instruments that are indexed to LIBOR. Further, various financial instruments indexed to LIBOR could experience different outcomes based on their contractual terms, ability to amend those terms, market or product type, legal or regulatory jurisdiction, and other factors. Alternative reference rates that replace LIBOR may not yield the same or similar economic results over the lives of the financial instruments, which could adversely affect the value of and return on these instruments.

We had material contracts that were indexed to LIBOR that have since been transitioned to alternative reference rates, and the value of such contracts could also be adversely affected by the transition from LIBOR to such alternative reference rate. We cannot predict the effect of the decision not to sustain LIBOR, or the potential transition to SOFR or another alternative reference rate as LIBOR’s replacement.

We transitioned two of our subsidiaries’ mortgage agreements to SOFR during 2022. On May 12, 2023, our Credit Agreements, which represent a significant portion of our debt, were transitioned to SOFR.

Credit Agreements

We have entered into two secured credit agreements (collectively, as amended, the “Credit Agreements”): (a) the First Lien Credit Agreement, which, as described in more detail below, includes (i) the $130.0 million First Lien Revolving Facility, and (ii) the $384.5 million First Lien Term Loan Facility, and (b) the Second Lien Credit Agreement, which, as described in more detail below, includes the $535.2 million Second Lien Term Loan Facility. The First Lien Term Loan Facility and the Second Lien Term Loan Facility are collectively referred to as the “Term Loans.” The Credit Agreements refinanced our previously existing credit agreements in effect prior to the effective date, including our secured term loan under the Credit Agreement dated as of August 11, 2020 (as amended, the “Bridge Credit Agreement”), our Seven-Year Term Loan Agreement entered into on January 8, 2014 (as amended, the “7-Year Term Loan”), and our 2018 Amended and Restated Credit Agreement entered into on May 24, 2018 (as amended, the “2018 Credit Agreement”). Capitalized terms used in this section and not otherwise defined in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the applicable Credit Agreement.

As of June 30, 2023, we had outstanding borrowings of $995.5 million under the Term Loans and $27.5 million under the First Lien Revolving Facility. The carrying value of the Term Loans on our consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2023 is net of $1.4 million of unamortized debt issuance costs. The maximum amount that was available to be borrowed by us under the First Lien Revolving Facility as of June 30, 2023 was $102.5 million. In August 2023, we borrowed $15.0 million under the First Lien Revolving Facility.

In 2022, we exercised our option and satisfied the conditions to extend the maturity date of our Credit Agreements, such that the maturity is now December 10, 2023 (the "Maturity Date"). See "Going Concern Considerations section in Note 1 of our consolidated financial statements" and “Risk Factors – We have determined that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern” in Part I, Item 1.A of our 2022 Form 10-K for further information.

First Lien Credit Agreement

On December 10, 2020, we entered into an Amended and Restated First Lien Credit Agreement (the “First Lien Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo Bank”) and the other financial institutions signatory thereto and their assignees, for secured loan facilities consisting of: (i) a secured first lien revolving credit facility allowing for borrowings up to $130.0 million, including a sub-facility for letters of credit to be issued thereunder in an aggregate stated amount of up to $10.0 million (collectively, the “First Lien Revolving Facility”), and (ii) a $384.5 million secured first lien term loan facility (the “First Lien Term Loan Facility”).

Amounts borrowed under the First Lien Credit Agreement may be either Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans. Base Rate Loans bear interest at the highest of (a) the Prime Rate, (b) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50% and (c) the LIBOR Market Index Rate plus 1.0%, provided that the Base Rate will not be less than 1.50% per annum, in each case plus (w) for revolving loans, 2.50% per annum, and (x) for term loans, 4.74% per annum. LIBOR Loans bear interest at LIBOR plus (y) for revolving loans, 3.50% per annum, and (z) for term loans, 5.74% per annum, in each case, provided that LIBOR will not be less than 0.50% per annum. Interest is due to be paid in cash on the last day of each applicable interest period (with rolling 30-day interest periods) and on the Maturity Date. We must pay certain fees to the administrative agent for the account of the lenders in connection with the First Lien Credit Agreement, including an unused fee for the account of the revolving lenders, which will accrue (i) 0.35% per annum on the daily amount of the unused revolving commitments when that amount is greater than or equal to 50% of the aggregate amount of revolving commitments, and (ii) 0.25% when that amount is less than 50% of the aggregate amount of revolving commitments. Accrued and unpaid unused fees will be payable quarterly in arrears during the term of the First Lien Credit Agreement and on the Revolving Termination Date (or any earlier date of termination of the revolving commitments or reduction of the revolving commitments to zero).

Letters of credit and the proceeds of revolving loans may be used (i) to refinance indebtedness under the Bridge Credit Agreement (which agreement was canceled and refinanced upon our entry into the Credit Agreements), (ii) for working capital and general corporate purposes (subject to certain exceptions set forth in the First Lien Credit Agreement, including limitations on investments in non-Borrowing Base Properties), and (iii) to fund professional fee payments and other fees and expenses subject to the provisions of the Plan and related confirmation order and for other uses permitted by the provisions of the First Lien Credit Agreement, Plan and confirmation order, in each case consistent with an approved annual business plan. The proceeds of term loans were only used to refinance existing indebtedness under the 2018 Credit Agreement and the 7-Year Term Loan. We may terminate or reduce the amount of the revolving commitments at any time and from time to time without penalty or premium, subject to the terms of the First Lien Credit Agreement.

Second Lien Credit Agreement

On December 10, 2020, we also entered into a Second Lien Credit Agreement (the “Second Lien Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank and the other financial institutions signatory thereto and their assignees for a $535.2 million secured second lien term loan facility (the “Second Lien Term Loan Facility”).

Amounts borrowed under the Second Lien Credit Agreement may be either Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans. Base Rate Loans bear interest at the highest of (a) the Prime Rate, (b) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50% and (c) the LIBOR Market Index Rate plus 1.0%, provided that the Base Rate will not be less than 1.50% per annum, in each case plus 7.00% per annum. LIBOR Loans bear interest at LIBOR plus 8.00% per annum, provided that LIBOR will not be less than 0.50% per annum. Interest is due to be paid in kind on the last day of each applicable interest period (with rolling 30-day interest periods) by adding the accrued and unpaid amount thereof to the principal balance of the loans under the Second Lien Credit Agreement and then accruing interest on the increased principal amount (provided that after the discharge of our Senior Debt Obligations, interest will be paid in cash). We must pay certain fees to the administrative agent for the account of the lenders in connection with the Second Lien Credit Agreement.

The proceeds of loans under the Second Lien Credit Agreement were used to refinance existing indebtedness under the 2018 Credit Agreement and the 7-Year Term Loan.

On February 8, 2021, the Company entered into the first amendment to the Second Lien Credit Agreement (“First Amendment”). The First Amendment provided for elimination of approximately $5.3 million of the disputed default interest that was capitalized into the principal balance of the Second Lien Term Loan Facility, reducing the outstanding principal amount of loans outstanding under the Second Lien Credit Agreement, retroactively as of December 10, 2020, to $535.2 million. The First Amendment also eliminated the disputed PIK interest that was capitalized through the date of the amendment.

Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB is Administrative Agent under the First Lien Credit Agreement, the Second Lien Credit Agreement and, in each case, the related loan documents. There is currently no letter of credit issuer under the First Lien Revolving Facility, accordingly, we cannot currently access the letters of credit sub-facility.

See our 2022 Form 10-K for additional information on the Credit Agreements.

Credit Agreements' Amendment

On May 12, 2023, the Credit Agreements were amended to replace the interest rate benchmark from LIBOR to SOFR. As a result, borrowings under the Credit Agreements other than Base Rate Loans, will now bear interest at Term SOFR plus 0.10% plus an applicable margin as described above for each agreement.

FDP Loan Agreement

As described in Note 3 of our consolidated financial statements and above in Capital Improvements, Redevelopment and Development Projects, PM Gallery LP, a Delaware limited partnership and joint venture entity owned indirectly by us and Macerich, to redevelop Fashion District Philadelphia and entered into the FDP Loan Agreement and the Partnership Loan.

In January 2023, the FDP Loan Agreement was amended to replace the interest rate benchmark from LIBOR to SOFR. The Base Rate is defined as the highest of (a) the Prime Rate, (b) the Federal Funds Rate plus one half (0.50%) and (c) Adjusted Term SOFR for a one-month tenor plus one percent (1.00%). The FDP Loan Agreement contains certain covenants typical for loans of its type. In January 2023, the joint venture paid down an additional $26.1 million of the FDP Loan Agreement balance as part of the option that it exercised to extend the FDP Loan Agreement maturity date to January 22, 2024. As noted above, PREIT Associates L.P. has severally guaranteed its 50% share of the FDP Term Loan (see Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements), which had $75.8 million outstanding as of June 30, 2023 (our share of which is $37.9 million). The joint venture has an outstanding balance on its 2020 Partnership Loan of $200.0 million and an outstanding balance on its 2022 Partnership Loan of $249.2 million (of which our total share for both Partnership Loans is $124.6 million) as of June 30, 2023 and the majority of the proceeds from the Partnership Loan were used to pay down the FDP Term Loan since December 2020 and the remainder was used to fund ongoing capital expenditures at the property as well as accrued interest. We monitor the joint venture's cash flow and its ability to meet its debt service requirements and to comply with the financial covenants under the FDP Loan Agreement. If the joint venture were unable to satisfy its obligations under the FDP Term Loan, and we were required to satisfy the payment obligations under the guarantee, we do not anticipate being able to satisfy such obligation after our Credit Agreement maturity and that these events would have a material negative impact on our liquidity and available capital resources. There are also circumstances in which a default of the FDP Term Loan could give rise to an event of default under our Credit Agreements.

Preferred Shares

We have 3,450,000 7.375% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Shares (the “Series B Preferred Shares”) outstanding, 6,900,000 7.20% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Shares (the “Series C Preferred Shares”) outstanding and 5,000,000 6.875% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Shares (the “Series D Preferred Shares”) outstanding. Upon 30 days’ notice, we may redeem any or all of the Series B Preferred Shares, Series C Preferred Shares, or Series D Preferred Shares at $25.00 per share plus any accrued and unpaid dividends. The Series B Preferred Shares, the Series C Preferred Shares and the Series D Preferred Shares have no stated maturity, are not subject to any sinking fund or mandatory redemption and will remain outstanding indefinitely unless we redeem or otherwise repurchase them or they are converted.

In 2020, the Company suspended payment of its preferred share dividends. Dividends on the Series B, Series C and Series D preferred shares are cumulative and therefore will continue to accumulate in arrears at an annual rate of $1.8436 per share, $1.8000 per share and $1.7188 per share, respectively. As of June 30, 2023, the cumulative amount of unpaid dividends on our issued and outstanding preferred shares totaled $82.1 million. This consisted of unpaid dividends per share on the Series B, Series C and Series D preferred shares of $5.53 per share, $5.40 per share and $5.16 per share, respectively.

Both the First Lien Credit Agreement and the Second Lien Credit Agreement prohibit any redemption of preferred shares so long as such agreements remain in effect.

Mortgage Loan Activity—Consolidated Properties

On May 1, 2023, certain of our consolidated subsidiaries entered into an amendment and extension to our mortgage loan secured by the property at Cherry Hill Mall in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. This agreement extended the maturity date to December 1, 2023 and we were required to make a $5.0 million principal payment upon execution and the borrower is required to continue to make scheduled monthly debt service payments. The agreement also includes an option to extend the maturity date to May 1, 2024 with an additional $5.0 million payment and if

Table of Contents

certain conditions are met, including, but not limited to, the extension of the Credit Agreements to December 2024 on commercially reasonable terms. As of June 30, 2023, the mortgage loan has an outstanding balance of $228.7 million.

Mortgage Loans

Our mortgage loans, which are secured by seven of our consolidated properties, are due in installments over various terms extending to the year 2025. Six of these mortgage loans bear interest at fixed interest rates that range from 3.88% to 7.97% and had a weighted average interest rate of 6.21% at June 30, 2023. Three of our mortgage loans bear interest at variable rates, a portion of which has been swapped to fixed rates, and have a weighted average interest rate of 8.77% at June 30, 2023. The weighted average interest rate of all consolidated mortgage loans was 6.63% at June 30, 2023. Mortgage loans for properties owned by unconsolidated partnerships are accounted for in “Investments in partnerships, at equity” and “Distributions in excess of partnership investments,” and are not included in the table below.

The following table outlines the timing of principal payments and balloon payments pursuant to the terms of our mortgage loans on our consolidated properties as of June 30, 2023:

We expect that a significant majority of such payments (of which we include 100% of our obligations related to Fashion District Philadelphia) will be made prior to December 31, 2023, but cannot provide any assurance that changed circumstances at these projects will not delay the settlement of these obligations.

Interest Rate Derivative Agreements

Table of Contents

agreements in 2020 to hedge the interest payments associated with our issuances of variable interest rate long term debt. The interest rate swap agreements are net settled monthly.

As of June 30, 2023, we had two total derivatives which were designated as cash flow hedges. In May 2023, we had seven total derivatives mature.

As of June 30, 2023, the fair value of derivatives in an asset position, which excludes accrued interest but includes any adjustment for nonperformance risk related to these agreements, was $1.5 million. If we had breached any of the default provisions in these agreements, the derivatives may be required to be settled at their termination value, which at June 30, 2023, was in an asset position (including accrued interest) of $1.6 million. We had not breached any of these provisions as of June 30, 2023.

CASH FLOWS

Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $33.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $31.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. This increase in cash provided by operating activities was due to changes in working capital between periods primarily as a result of strong collections of outstanding accounts receivable in the first six months of the current year, which are included in change in other assets in our statement of cash flows.

Cash flows provided by investing activities were $16.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to cash flows provided by investing activities of $22.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Cash flows provided by investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 included $29.7 million in proceeds from sales of real estate, partially offset by $2.0 million of additions to construction in progress and $10.8 million of investments in real estate improvements.

Cash flows used in financing activities were $49.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to cash flows used in financing activities of $74.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Cash flows used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 included repayment of term loans of $26.3 million, $24.6 million of principal payments on mortgage loans, along with $2.9 million of deferred financing costs paid for our Cherry Hill and Woodland Malls' mortgage extensions.

ENVIRONMENTAL

We are aware of certain environmental matters at some of our properties. We have, in the past, performed remediation of such environmental matters, and we are not aware of any significant remaining potential liability relating to these environmental matters or of any obligation to satisfy requirements for further remediation. We may be required in the future to perform testing relating to these matters. We have insurance coverage for certain environmental claims up to $10.0 million per occurrence and up to $10.0 million in the aggregate over our two year policy term. See our 2022 Form 10-K, in the section entitled “Item 1A. Risk Factors— Risks Related to Our Business and Our Properties—We might incur costs to comply with environmental laws, which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations.”

COMPETITION AND TENANT CREDIT RISK

Competition in the retail real estate market is intense. We compete with other public and private retail real estate companies, including companies that own or manage malls, power centers, strip centers, lifestyle centers, factory outlet centers, theme/festival centers and community centers, as well as other commercial real estate developers and real estate owners, particularly those with properties near our properties, on the basis of several factors, including location and rent charged. We compete with these companies to attract customers to our properties, as well as to attract anchor and non-anchor store and other tenants. Our malls and our other operating properties face competition from similar retail, destination dining and entertainment centers, including more recently developed or renovated centers that are near our retail properties. We also face competition from a variety of different retail formats, including internet retailers, discount or value retailers, home shopping networks, mail order operators, catalogs, and telemarketers. Our tenants face competition from companies at the same and other properties and from other retail formats as well, including internet retailers. They also face competition for employees in the current constrained labor market, which could impact their operations and operation costs. This competition could have a material adverse effect on our ability to lease space and on the amount of rent and expense reimbursements that we receive.

The existence or development of competing retail properties and the related increased competition for tenants might, subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreements, require us to make capital improvements to properties that we would have deferred or would not have otherwise planned to make and might also affect the total sales, occupancy and net operating income of such properties. Any such capital

Table of Contents

improvements, undertaken individually or collectively, would involve costs and expenses that could be elevated (including due to inflation, supply chain disruptions and construction delays) and adversely affect our results of operations.

If we seek to make acquisitions, competitors (such as institutional investors, other REITs and other owner-operators of retail properties) might drive up the price we must pay for properties, parcels, other assets or other companies or might themselves succeed in acquiring those properties, parcels, assets or companies. In addition, our potential acquisition targets might find our competitors to be more attractive suitors if they have greater resources, are willing to pay more, or have a more compatible operating philosophy. We might not succeed in acquiring retail properties or development sites that we seek, or, if we pay a higher price for a property and/or generate lower cash flow from an acquired property than we expect, our investment returns will be reduced, which will adversely affect the value of our securities.

We receive a substantial portion of our operating income as rent under leases with tenants. At any time, any tenant having space in one or more of our properties could experience a downturn in its business that might weaken its financial condition. Such tenants might enter into or renew leases with relatively shorter terms. Such tenants might also defer or fail to make rental payments when due, delay or defer lease commencement, voluntarily vacate the premises or declare bankruptcy, which could result in the termination of the tenant’s lease or preclude the collection of rent in connection with the space for a period of time, and could result in material losses to us and harm to our results of operations. Also, it might take time to terminate leases of underperforming or nonperforming tenants and we might incur costs to remove such tenants. Some of our tenants occupy stores at multiple locations in our portfolio, and so the effect of any bankruptcy or store closings of those tenants might be more significant to us than the bankruptcy or store closings of other tenants. In addition, under many of our leases, our tenants pay rent based, in whole or in part, on a percentage of their sales. Accordingly, declines in these tenants’ sales directly affect our results of operations. Also, if tenants are unable to comply with the terms of their leases, or otherwise seek changes to the terms, including changes to the amount of rent, we might modify lease terms in ways that are less favorable to us. Given current conditions in the economy, certain industries and the capital markets, in some instances retailers that have sought protection from creditors under bankruptcy law have had difficulty in obtaining debtor-in-possession financing, which has decreased the likelihood that such retailers will emerge from bankruptcy protection and has limited their alternatives. All of these factors have been exacerbated by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

SEASONALITY

There is seasonality in the retail real estate industry. Retail property leases often provide for the payment of all or a portion of rent based on a percentage of a tenant’s sales revenue, or sales revenue over certain levels. Income from such rent is recorded only after the minimum sales levels have been met. The sales levels are often met in the fourth quarter, during the November/December holiday season. Also, many new and temporary leases are entered into later in the year in anticipation of the holiday season and a higher number of tenants vacate their space early in the year. As a result, our occupancy and cash flows are generally higher in the fourth quarter and lower in the first and second quarters. Our concentration in the retail sector increases our exposure to seasonality and has resulted, and is expected to continue to result, in a greater percentage of our cash flows being received in the fourth quarter.

INFLATION

Inflation can have many effects on financial performance. Retail property leases often provide for the payment of rent based on a percentage of sales, which might increase with inflation. Customers might spend less at our retailers, which might decrease our rent based on a percentage of sales, due to inflation. Leases might also provide for tenants to bear all or a portion of operating expenses, which might reduce the impact of such increases on us. However, rent increases might not keep up with inflation, or if we recover a smaller proportion of property operating expenses, we might bear more costs if such expenses increase because of inflation.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

The analysis below presents the sensitivity of the market value of our financial instruments to selected changes in market interest rates. As of June 30, 2023, our consolidated debt portfolio consisted of $726.8 million of fixed and variable rate mortgage loans, $27.5 million outstanding under our First Lien Revolving Facility, which bore interest at a rate of 8.66%, $305.7 million borrowed under our First Lien Term Loan Facility, which bore interest at a rate of 10.90%, and $689.8 million borrowed under our Second Lien Term Loan Facility, which bore interest at a rate of 13.19%.

Our mortgage loans, which are secured by seven of our consolidated properties, are due in installments over various terms extending to October 2025. Six of our mortgage loans bear interest at fixed interest rates that range from 3.88% to 7.97%, and had a weighted average interest rate of 6.21% at June 30, 2023. Three of our mortgage loans bear interest at variable rates, a portion of which has been swapped to fixed rates, and had a weighted average interest rate of 8.77% at June 30, 2023. The weighted average interest rate of all consolidated mortgage loans was 6.63% at June 30, 2023. Mortgage loans for properties owned by unconsolidated partnerships are accounted for in “Investments in partnerships, at equity” and “Distributions in excess of partnership investments” on the consolidated balance sheets and are not included in the table below.

Our interest rate risk is monitored using a variety of techniques. The table below presents the principal amounts of the expected annual maturities due in the respective years and the weighted average interest rates for the principal payments in the specified periods:


	Fixed Rate Debt						Variable Rate Debt
(in thousands of dollars) For the Year Ending December 31,	Principal Payments			Weighted Average Interest Rate			Principal Payments			Weighted Average Interest Rate (1)
2023	$	284,866	(3)		7.55	%	$	1,124,862	(2) (4)		12.11	%
2024	$	106,405			6.83	%	$	18,074			1.42	%
2025	$	215,752			4.02	%	$	—			—
2026	$	—			—		$	—			—
2027 and thereafter	$	—			—		$	—			—

(1) Based on the weighted average interest rates in effect as of June 30, 2023 and does not include the effect of our interest rate swap derivative instruments as described below.

(2) Includes term loan debt of $995.5 million under our First Lien Term Loan Facility and Second Lien Term Loan Facility with a weighted average interest rate of 12.49% as of June 30, 2023.

(3) Includes Cherry Hill Mall mortgage of $228.7 million for which the maturity was extended through December 1, 2023.

(4) Includes Woodland Mall mortgage of $101.8 million for which the maturity was extended through October 5, 2023.

As of June 30, 2023, we had $1,142.9 million of variable rate debt. To manage interest rate risk and limit overall interest cost, we may employ interest rate swaps, options, forwards, caps and floors, or a combination thereof, depending on the underlying exposure. Interest rate differentials that arise under swap contracts are recognized in interest expense over the life of the contracts. If interest rates rise, the resulting cost of funds is expected to be lower than that which would have been available if debt with matching characteristics was issued directly. Conversely, if interest rates fall, the resulting costs would be expected to be, and in some cases have been, higher. We may also employ forwards or purchased options to hedge qualifying anticipated transactions. Gains and losses are deferred and recognized in net loss in the same period that the underlying transaction occurs, expires or is otherwise terminated. See Note 6 of the notes to our unaudited consolidated financial statements for further information.

As of June 30, 2023, we had two interest rate swap agreements outstanding with a weighted average base interest rate of 3.59% on a notional amount of $100.0 million, maturing in May 2024. In May 2023, we had seven interest rate swap agreements mature.

Changes in market interest rates have different effects on the fixed and variable rate portions of our debt portfolio. A change in market interest rates applicable to the fixed portion of the debt portfolio affects the fair value, but it has no effect on interest incurred or cash flows. A change in market interest rates applicable to the variable portion of the debt portfolio affects the interest incurred and cash flows, but does not affect the fair value. The following sensitivity analysis related to our debt portfolio, which includes the effects of our interest rate swap agreements, assumes an immediate 100 basis point change in interest rates from their actual June 30, 2023 levels, with all other variables held constant.

A 100 basis point increase in market interest rates would have resulted in a decrease in our net financial instrument position of $5.2 million at June 30, 2023. A 100 basis point decrease in market interest rates would have resulted in an increase in our net financial instrument position of $6.8 million at June 30, 2023. Based on the variable rate debt included in our debt portfolio at June 30, 2023, a 100 basis point increase in interest rates would have resulted in an additional $11.4 million in interest expense annually. A 100 basis point decrease would have reduced interest incurred by $11.4 million annually.

Table of Contents

Because the information presented above includes only those exposures that existed as of June 30, 2023, it does not consider changes, exposures or positions which have arisen or could arise after that date. The information presented herein has limited predictive value. As a result, the ultimate realized gain or loss or expense with respect to interest rate fluctuations will depend on the exposures that arise during the period, our hedging strategies at the time and interest rates.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

We are committed to providing accurate and timely disclosure in satisfaction of our SEC reporting obligations. In 2002, we established a Disclosure Committee to formalize our disclosure controls and procedures. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that:

•

information that we are required to disclose in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms; and

•

material information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management, under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that as of June 30, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting.

The ineffectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting was due to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting which we identified and previously reported in Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

As previously disclosed in our 2022 Form 10-K, we identified a material weakness related to the review of manual journal entries, which continued to exist as of June 30, 2023. Specifically, we identified segregation of duties conflicts in certain authorizations and permissions that impacted the effectiveness of certain other business process-level control activities and the reliability of data used in the operation of those control activities. The precision of review of our consolidated statement of cash flow for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was previously identified as ineffective and the control remains aggregated in the segregation of duties conflicts identified above.

Management’s Remediation Efforts

Management of the Company and the Board of Trustees are committed to maintaining a strong internal control environment and to making further progress in its remediation efforts. During 2021 and 2022, we commenced efforts towards remediation of the previously reported material weakness described above which efforts continued into 2023. Our remediation activities resulted in additional consideration of the risks related to improper segregation of duties and ongoing design enhancements to our internal controls. Our remediation activities are ongoing, however, those activities have also included the implementation of technology solutions to automate visibility and enforcement of the independent review and documentation of journal entries, including enforcement of proper segregation of duties.

Management believes that it has made progress with the remediation efforts that include completion and implementation of design to ensure reliability of information used in the controls will reduce the risk that a material misstatement to the consolidated financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. We will monitor and evaluate the remediation steps to ensure our internal control over financial reporting is consistently effective to address control deficiencies or as we determine it necessary to modify the remediation plan described above. We will continue to report regularly to our Audit Committee on the progress of our remediation plan.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Other than our actions to remediate the material weakness relating to our internal controls over financial reporting as described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

In the normal course of business, we have become and might in the future become involved in legal actions relating to our business, including but not limited to commercial disputes, rent collection actions and other matters related to the ownership and operation of our properties and the properties that we manage for third parties. In management’s opinion, the resolution of any such pending legal actions is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risks that could materially affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. The following is an update to the Company’s risk factors and should be read in conjunction with the risk factors previously disclosed under the caption “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our 2022 Form 10-K.

We have determined that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

In evaluating whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued, management considered among other factors, our Credit Agreements, as defined in Note 4, with a maturity date in December 2023 and Fashion District Philadelphia’s Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement (“FDP Loan Agreement”) which matures in January 2024 as events or conditions that raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

As of June 30, 2023, we had borrowings of $305.7 million under the First Lien Term Loan, $689.8 million under the Second Lien Term Loan and $27.5 million under the First Lien Revolving Facility. Our obligations under the Credit Agreements are guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries. Our obligations under the Credit Agreements and the guaranties are secured by mortgages and deeds of trust on a portfolio of 10 of our subsidiaries’ properties, including nine malls and one additional parcel. The obligations are further secured by a lien on substantially all of our personal property pursuant to collateral agreements and a pledge of substantially all of the equity interests held by us and the guarantors, pursuant to pledge agreements, in each case subject to limited exceptions. The Credit Agreements include several events of default as described in Note 4. Upon the occurrence of an event of default (except with respect to bankruptcy), the lenders may declare all of the obligations in connection with the applicable Credit Agreement (including an amount equal to the outstanding letters of credit under the First Lien Credit Agreement) immediately due and payable and may terminate the lenders’ commitments thereunder.

When the borrowings under the Credit Agreements come due and payable because of a default or at maturity in December 2023, there is substantial doubt that the Company will be able to repay, refinance or restructure such obligations. The Company has been working with PJT Partners, a global advisory investment bank with expertise in real estate and restructuring, to pursue and evaluate options to address the Company’s debt and has been actively exploring a range of strategic alternatives. Although management, with its advisors, will continue to pursue all options and strategic alternatives, we can provide no assurance that we will be able to refinance, restructure or repay the indebtedness at maturity or to continue as a going concern.

The FDP Loan Agreement has a balance of $75.8 million as of June 30, 2023, and matures in January 2024. The Company guarantees 50% of the joint venture’s obligations under the FDP Loan Agreement. The Company plans to work with its joint venture partner to satisfy any obligations under the FDP Loan Agreement should it come due and payable at maturity. However, our ability to satisfy obligations under the FDP Loan Agreement depends primarily on the availability of our credit facility at the time of the FDP Loan Agreement maturity date and this involves performance by third parties and therefore cannot be considered probable of occurring.

The consolidated financial statements included in this report have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. Given the risks associated with the Company’s near-term debt maturities in December 2023 and January 2024, we believe there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue to operate as a going concern within one year after the date the consolidated financial statements are issued.

The actions of activist shareholders could adversely impact the Company.

In recent months, certain shareholders, including the two Trustees elected by the Preferred Stockholders, have made public statements criticizing the Board of Trustees and their election and urging them to resign, and expressing dissatisfaction with the Company’s market valuation, as well as indicating that they will evaluate whether to take action of their own. The Company has publicly responded to these statements asserting that the Trustees were duly elected and that the Board has taken responsible action to maximize value for all shareholders and other stakeholders, including pursuing all strategic alternatives consistent with their fiduciary duties and prudent business judgment.

If these shareholders, by themselves or in conjunction with other shareholders or as part of a group, engage in activist activities with respect to us, our business could be adversely affected, by among other things, incurring costly legal fees and other expenses, losing key employees,

Table of Contents

potential disruption of our business and diverting the attention of our Board of Trustees, senior management and employees from the execution of the Company’s business operations, which could negatively impact our financial condition and operations. These actions could also negatively affect market perceptions of our business.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

We did not acquire any shares in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

Limitations upon the Payment of Dividends

The Credit Agreements provide generally that we may only make dividend payments in the minimum amount necessary to maintain our status as a REIT. We must maintain our status as a REIT at all times.

ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES.

Preferred Dividend Arrearage

Dividends on the Series B, Series C and Series D preferred shares are cumulative and therefore will continue to accrue at an annual rate of $1.8436 per share, $1.8000 per share and $1.7188 per share, respectively. As of August 4, 2023, the cumulative amount of unpaid dividends on our issued and outstanding preferred shares totaled $82.1 million. This consisted of unpaid dividends per share on the Series B, Series C and Series D preferred shares of $5.53 per share, $5.40 per share and $5.16 per share, respectively.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION.

None of the Company’s directors or officers (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act) adopted or terminated any Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement or any non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement (as such terms are defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K) during the period covered by this report.
