Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Nature of Business and Financial Statement Presentation

Nature of Business

Retail Value Inc. and its related consolidated real estate subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “RVI”) were formed in December 2017 and owned and operated a portfolio of 48 retail shopping centers, comprised of 36 continental U.S. assets and 12 Puerto Rico assets, at the time of their separation from SITE Centers Corp. (“SITE Centers” or the “Manager”) on July 1, 2018. On April 12, 2022, RVI completed the sale of its last real estate asset and no longer owns an interest in any real property.

On June 30, 2022, the Company filed a certificate of dissolution with the Secretary of State of the State of Ohio. Pursuant to the Ohio Revised Code, the Company will continue to exist for a period of five years following the filing of the certificate of dissolution for the purpose of paying, satisfying and discharging any unknown or contingent claims or any debts or other obligations, collecting and distributing its assets, and doing all other acts required to liquidate and wind-up its business and affairs. In connection with the filing of the certificate of dissolution and in recognition of the substantial completion of the Company's original strategy, the Company's independent directors resigned from the Company's Board of Directors on July 1, 2022, and the Board of Directors is now comprised exclusively of management directors.

The Company, its subsidiaries and the Manager entered into a new External Management Agreement, effective January 1, 2022 (the “New Management Agreement”), which compensates the Manager for property management, leasing services and disposition efforts for Crossroads Center (prior to its sale on April 12, 2022) and for corporate services in connection with the wind-up of the Company’s business. SITE Centers provides RVI with day-to-day management, as the Company does not have any employees.

Basis of Presentation

Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), including liquidation accounting discussed below, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Pre-Liquidation Basis of Accounting

These financial statements were prepared by the Company in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they did not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. However, in the opinion of management, the interim financial statements included all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results of the periods presented. The results of operations for the one and four months ended April 30, 2022 and the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, were not necessarily indicative of the results that were expected for the full year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Post-Liquidation Basis of Accounting

In connection with the sale of Crossroads Center, the Company’s last property, on April 12, 2022, the Company adopted the liquidation basis of accounting, in accordance with U. S. GAAP, effective May 1, 2022, which was the beginning of the fiscal month after the sale date. Accordingly, on May 1, 2022, the carrying value of the Company’s assets were adjusted to their estimated liquidation value, which represents the estimated amount of cash that the Company will collect on settlement of its assets and liabilities as it carries out the liquidation activities.

The liquidation basis of accounting is appropriate when the liquidation of a company appears imminent, and the net realizable value of its assets is reasonably determinable. Under this basis of accounting, assets and liabilities are stated at their net realizable value (or liquidation value) and estimated costs through the liquidation date are accrued to the extent reasonably determinable.

The Company accrued expenses that it expects to incur as it carries out its liquidation activities to the extent it has a reasonable basis for estimation. The Company expects to incur general and administrative expenses associated with the winding up and dissolution of the Company i.e., fees to SITE Centers under the New Management Agreement, professional fees (auditing and legal expenses), insurance premiums, including with respect to a tail insurance policy for directors and officers, vendor expenses and costs to resolve and streamline the Company’s subsidiaries and corporate structure. Actual expense incurred may differ from amounts reflected in the financial statements due to the inherent uncertainly in estimating future events. These differences could be material (Note 3). Actual costs incurred but unpaid as of June 30, 2022, are included in Accounts Payable and Other Liabilities in the Consolidated Statement of Net Assets.

As a result of the change to the liquidation basis of accounting, the Company no longer presents a Consolidated Balance Sheet, a Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income, a Consolidated Statement of Equity or a Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. These statements are only presented for prior periods.

Accounts Receivable

In connection with the transition to liquidation accounting, the Company adjusted the expected amount to be collected from its accounts receivable by $0.9 million (Note 3). The estimate of collectability of outstanding receivables requires judgement and complex and extensive assumptions. The Company generally reviews its outstanding accounts receivable individually by tenant account for collectability and considers assumptions such as the terms of the underlying lease, litigation status and former business segment (i.e. continental U.S. vs. Puerto Rico). Smaller individual balances and ancillary income accounts are generally expected to be collected at a rate of 30% and 10% of the outstanding amount, respectively. While the Company is working to maximize payment, collection of past due amounts is not guaranteed.

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable and Other Liabilities

The carrying amounts reported in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet for these financial instruments approximated fair value because of their short-term maturities.

Legal Matters

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to various legal proceedings, which, taken together, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company is also subject to a variety of legal actions for personal injury or property damage arising in the ordinary course of its business, most of which are covered by insurance. While the resolution of all matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the final outcome of such legal proceedings and claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s liquidity, financial position or results of operations.

Liquidation Accounting – Commitments and Contingencies

The liquidation process and the amount and timing of distributions to shareholders involve risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, it is not possible to predict the timing and aggregate amount that will be ultimately distributed to shareholders and no assurance can be given that the distributions will equal or exceed the estimate of net assets presented in the Consolidated Statement of Net Assets.

2. Liability for Estimated Wind-Up Expenses in Excess of Estimated Income During Liquidation

The liquidation basis of accounting requires the Company to estimate net cash flows primarily from the collection of receivables and to accrue all costs associated with winding up the remaining operations of the Company and complying with regulatory requirements (when such costs can be reasonably estimated). As the basis for such estimates, in accordance with Ohio law, the Company expects to continue to exist for a period of five years following the filing of the certificate of dissolution with the Secretary

of State of the State of Ohio, which occurred on June 30, 2022 (“Liquidation Period”). The Company currently estimates that it will have enough assets to cover the expenses during the Liquidation Period. These amounts can vary significantly due to, among other things, the timing and amounts associated with collecting amounts owed, discharging known and contingent liabilities and the costs associated with the winding up of the Company. Certain of these amounts are estimated and are anticipated to be paid out over the Liquidation Period.

Upon transition to the liquidation basis of accounting on May 1, 2022, the Company accrued $4.9 million of estimated general and administrative expenses expected to be incurred and paid out during the Liquidation Period (Note 3).

In addition, in connection with the disposition of assets, the Company has potential liabilities that are not recorded related to potential breaches of representations included in the sale agreements governing the Company’s final three asset sales. These potential liabilities are capped at approximately $2.2 million in the aggregate. The survival period for these contingent liabilities generally expire in September 2022 ($1.4 million) and January 2023 ($0.8 million).

The change in the liability for estimated costs during the Liquidation Period as of June 30, 2022, is as follows (in thousands):

(A)
In 2022, the asset management fee was based on a fixed fee. In 2021, asset management fees were generally calculated at 0.5% per annum of the gross asset value as determined on the immediately preceding June 30 or December 31. In addition, in May 2022, the Company accrued $1.6 million of costs for the estimated amount to be paid to SITE Centers during the five-year wind-up period.
(B)
In April 2022, the Company paid SITE Centers an incentive payment in recognition of the successful completion of the Company’s disposition program.
(C)
In 2022, the Company paid a fixed property management fee to SITE Centers through April 2022 related to Crossroads Center. In 2021, property management fees were generally calculated based on a percentage of tenant cash receipts collected during the three months immediately preceding the most recent June 30 or December 31.
(D)
Disposition fees equal 1% of the gross sales price of each asset sold. Disposition fees are included within Gain on Disposition of Real Estate on the consolidated statements of operations.
(E)
Leasing commissions represent fees charged for the execution of the leasing of retail space.
(F)
Maintenance services represent amounts charged to the properties for the allocation of compensation and other benefits of personnel directly attributable to the management of the properties. Amounts are recorded in Operating and Maintenance Expense on the consolidated statements of operations.
(G)
Legal fees charged for collection activity, negotiating and reviewing tenant leases and contracts for asset dispositions.

On December 15, 2021, the Company and certain subsidiaries of SITE Centers entered into the New Management Agreement, which took effect on January 1, 2022 and compensates the Manager for property management and leasing services for Crossroads Center (prior to its sale on April 12, 2022) and for corporate services in connection with the wind-up of the Company’s business. Pursuant to the terms of the New Management Agreement, the Company will pay the Manager an asset management fee for services rendered in connection with corporate management of the Company in an aggregate amount of (i) $500,000 for calendar year 2022, (ii) $300,000 per annum commencing on January 1, 2023 until the end of the calendar quarter in which the Company’s shares are deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and/or the Company’s reporting obligations under the Exchange Act are suspended or terminated, and (iii) $100,000 per annum, commencing from the calendar quarter immediately following the calendar quarter in which the Company’s shares are deregistered under the Exchange Act and/or the Company’s reporting obligations under the Exchange Act are suspended or terminated until the expiry of the term of the New Management Agreement (June 30, 2027) or the earlier termination thereof. In addition, pursuant to the New Management Agreement, the Company paid the Manager a property management fee of $22,000 per month through April 2022 on account of Crossroads Center. In April 2022, in accordance with the terms of the New Management Agreement, the Company paid SITE Centers a $385,000 disposition fee for the sale of Crossroads Center and a $500,000 incentive payment in recognition of the successful completion of the Company’s disposition program (including the sale of Crossroads Center).

The New Management Agreement also obligates the Company to pay or reimburse the Manager for all commercially reasonable third-party costs and expenses incurred in the performance of its duties under the New Management Agreement, including, but not limited to, all fees and expenses paid to outside advisors (legal and accounting), consultants, architects, engineers and other professionals reasonably required for the performance of the Manager’s duties.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OPERATIONS

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) provides readers with a perspective from management on the financial condition, results of operations and liquidity of Retail Value Inc. (the “Company” or “RVI”) (OTC Pink Market: RVIC) and other factors that may affect the Company’s future results. The Company believes it is important to read the MD&A in conjunction with its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as well as other publicly available information.

The Company was formed in December 2017 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of SITE Centers Corp. (“SITE Centers” or the “Manager”). On July 1, 2018, the date of the Company’s spin-off from SITE Centers into a separate publicly traded company, the Company owned 48 properties and had two reportable segments: continental U.S. and Puerto Rico. As a result of the sale of the Company’s remaining Puerto Rico assets in August 2021, the Company ceased reporting financial results for the Puerto Rico segment and instead commenced reporting the financial results of the Puerto Rico segment as discontinued operations for all periods presented. On April 12, 2022, RVI completed the sale of its last real estate asset, Crossroads Center, and no longer owns an interest in any real property.

On April 7, 2022, the Company de-listed its common shares from the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") in anticipation of the sale of the Company's final real estate asset and the winding up of its business. On June 30, 2022, the Company filed a certificate of dissolution with the Secretary of State of the State of Ohio. Pursuant to the Ohio Revised Code, the Company will continue to exist for a period of five years following the filing of the certificate of dissolution for the purpose of paying, satisfying and discharging any unknown or contingent claims or any debts or other obligations, collecting and distributing its assets, and doing all other acts required to liquidate and wind-up its business and affairs. In connection with the filing of the certificate of dissolution and in recognition of the substantial completion of the Company's original strategy, the Company's independent directors resigned from the Company's Board of Directors on July 1, 2022, and the Board of Directors is now comprised exclusively of management directors.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Company remains focused on maximizing the collection of its accounts and note receivable, the proceeds of which are expected to be used to pay wind-up expenses and make distributions to the Company’s common shareholders. The dissolution and wind-up process and the amount and timing of additional distributions to shareholders entail risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, it is not possible to predict the timing or aggregate amount that ultimately will be distributed to shareholders, and no assurance can be given that future distributions will equal or exceed the estimate of net assets in liquidation presented in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Net Assets. See further discussion below under "Liquidity, Capital Resources and Financing Activities – Winding up and Dissolution."

Transaction Update

On April 12, 2022, the Company sold its remaining real estate investment, Crossroads Center in Gulfport, Mississippi, for a sale price of $38.5 million. Net proceeds from the transaction were approximately $37.4 million.

Manager

The Company is party to an external management agreement (the “New Management Agreement”) with SITE Centers, which governs the fees, terms and conditions pursuant to which SITE Centers serves as the Company’s manager. The Company does not have any employees.

Effective January 1, 2022, pursuant to the terms of the New Management Agreement, the Company will pay the Manager an asset management fee for services rendered in connection with corporate management of the Company in an aggregate amount of (i) $500,000 for calendar year 2022, (ii) $300,000 per annum commencing on January 1, 2023 until the end of the calendar quarter in which the Company’s shares are deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and/or the Company’s reporting obligations under the Exchange Act are suspended or terminated, and (iii) $100,000 per annum, commencing from the calendar quarter immediately following the calendar quarter in which the Company’s shares are deregistered under the Exchange Act and/or the Company’s reporting obligations under the Exchange Act are suspended or terminated until the expiry of the term of the New Management Agreement (June 30, 2027) or the earlier termination thereof. In addition, pursuant to the New Management Agreement, the Company paid the Manager a property management fee of $22,000 per month through April 2022 on account of Crossroads Center. In April 2022, in accordance with the terms of the New Management Agreement, the Company paid SITE Centers

15

 


 

a $385,000 disposition fee for the sale of Crossroads Center and a $500,000 incentive payment in recognition of the successful completion of the Company’s disposition program (including the sale of Crossroads Center).

The New Management Agreement also obligates the Company to pay or reimburse the Manager for all commercially reasonable third-party costs and expenses incurred in the performance of its duties under the New Management Agreement, including, but not limited to, all fees and expenses paid to outside advisors (legal and accounting), consultants, architects, engineers and other professionals reasonably required for the performance of the Manager’s duties.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the one and four months ended April 30, 2022, the Company had one operating property, Crossroads Center, which was sold in April 2022. The operations of this property account for a majority of the revenues and operating expenses reported for the one and four months ended April 30, 2022. The change in income as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 is a result of the sale of all of the Company's remaining real estate assets in 2021, except for Crossroads Center. The general and administrative expenses primarily represent legal, audit, tax and compliance services and director compensation. The decrease in interest expense primarily was due to the repayment of the Company’s mortgage loan in August 2021. Debt extinguishment costs (primarily related to the non-cash write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs) were incurred in connection with the prepayment of the mortgage loan with asset sale proceeds. Additionally, included in discontinued operations for the four months ended April 30, 2022, is 2021 overage rent (for the Company’s ownership period of the asset) from a major tenant in Puerto Rico that was not required to report its sales information until the first quarter of 2022.

 

LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND FINANCING ACTIVITIES

The Company maintains a cash balance to satisfy projected expenses and known and unknown claims which might arise during the winding up and dissolution process. The Company’s capital sources include unrestricted cash and future cash flow from collection of accounts receivable and note receivable. See further discussion below under Liquidity, Capital Resources and Financing Activities – Winding up and Dissolution.” The Company’s liquidity is reflected as follows (in millions):

Less: Potential liabilities under purchase and sale agreements (disclosed below)

 

(2.2

)

Pro forma net assets in liquidation at June 30, 2022

In addition, the Company may be subject to other expenses such as insurance deductibles and other potential legal costs including legal costs incurred in connection with the collection of the remaining accounts and note receivable. These costs cannot be reasonably estimated and are not accrued in the Consolidated Statement of Net Assets. There is no assurance that the distributions will equal or exceed the estimate of net assets in liquidation presented above.

Common Share Dividends

In December 2021, the Company declared a cash dividend of $3.27 per common share that was paid in January 2022 funded primarily with asset sale proceeds. In April 2022, the Company declared a cash dividend of $2.13 per common share that was paid in May 2022 funded primarily with proceeds from the sale of the Company's last property, Crossroads Center. In June 2022, the Company declared a cash dividend of $1.16 per common share that was paid on July 27, 2022 and was funded primarily with collections of accounts receivable and prior reserves for potential claims by purchasers under property sale agreements that did not materialize prior to the expiration of their general survival periods. From January 1, 2022, through July 27, 2022, the Company paid cash dividends totaling $6.56 per common share or $138.5 million in the aggregate.

Dividend Distributions

The Company currently operates in a manner that allows it to qualify as a REIT and generally not be subject to U.S. federal income and excise tax. U.S. federal income tax law generally requires that a REIT distribute annually to holders of its capital stock at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains, and that it pay tax at regular corporate rates to the extent that it annually distributes less than 100% of its REIT taxable income. Any distributions the Company makes to its shareholders will be at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors and will depend upon, among other things, the Company’s actual and anticipated results of operations and liquidity, which will be affected by various factors, including its expenses (including management fees and other obligations owing to SITE Centers) and projected expenses and contingencies relating to the Company’s wind-up. The Company may elect to surrender its REIT status in connection with the wind-up of its operations in the event the Company determines that the anticipated benefits to the Company and its shareholders of

16

 


 

maintaining REIT qualification do not exceed the related compliance costs or if the nature of the Company’s remaining operations makes compliance with REIT requirements impracticable.

Winding Up and Dissolution

There are many factors that will affect the timing and amount of any additional distributions to shareholders, including, among other things, the Company’s ability to collect amounts currently owed to it by third parties and the amount of current cash balances utilized to satisfy projected expenses and known and unknown claims which might arise during the Company’s winding up and dissolution process. Accordingly, it is not possible to predict the timing or aggregate amount that ultimately will be distributed to shareholders, and no assurance can be given that future distributions will equal or exceed the estimate of net assets in liquidation presented in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Net Assets.

 

In connection with the sale of Crossroads Center, the Company’s last property, on April 12, 2022, the Company adopted liquidation accounting effective May 1, 2022, which was the beginning of the fiscal month after the sale date. The liquidation basis of accounting is appropriate when the liquidation of a company appears imminent, and the net realizable value of its assets is reasonably determinable. Under this basis of accounting, assets and liabilities are stated at their net realizable value (or liquidation value) and estimated costs through the liquidation date are accrued to the extent reasonably determinable.

The Company filed a certificate of dissolution with the Secretary of State of the State of Ohio on June 30, 2022. Pursuant to Ohio law, the Company will continue to exist for a period of five years following the filing of the certificate of dissolution for the purpose of paying, satisfying and discharging any unknown or contingent claims or any debts or other obligations, collecting and distributing its assets, and doing all other acts required to liquidate and wind-up its business and affairs. Under Ohio law, if the Company makes distributions to its shareholders without making adequate provisions for payment of creditors’ claims, the Company’s shareholders could be liable to creditors to the extent of any payments due to creditors (up to the aggregate amount previously received by the shareholder from the Company). Therefore, the Company retained a portion of the proceeds from its final asset sales in order to establish a reserve fund to satisfy and discharge expenses projected to be incurred, and any unknown or contingent claims, debts or obligations which might arise, during the five-year wind-up period subsequent to the filing of the certificate of dissolution. It is likely that the Company will not make a final distribution until all such expenses and contingent claims are paid, resolved or fail to materialize, which could be one or more years following the date on which the certificate of dissolution was filed. Subject to uncertainties inherent in winding up its business, it is also likely that the Company will make one or more small interim distributions to shareholders during the five-year dissolution period as specific expenses and contingent claims are satisfied, resolved or fail to materialize. The Company is unable to provide any assurances with respect to the amount of any future distributions or the timing thereof.

For example, contracts governing property dispositions typically allow the purchaser to true-up common area maintenance charges with the seller at the end of the year in which the disposition occurred and to make claims for breaches of most representations and other provisions under the sale agreement for a period of nine to 12 months following the disposition, subject to a cap, which is typically 2% to 3% of the gross sales price. As of July 27, 2022, potential liability for breaches of most representations included in the sale agreements governing the disposition of the Company’s final three properties is capped at approximately $2.2 million. The survival period with respect to these potential liabilities expire in September 2022 ($1.4 million) and January 2023 ($0.8 million). These potential liabilities are not included in the Consolidated Statement of Net Assets (see table above). The Company also maintains cash balances to pay, among other items, fees to SITE Centers under the New Management Agreement, professional fees (accountants and law firms) and potential insurance deductibles (including a $1.5 million deductible applicable to any claims made with respect to a tail insurance policy for directors and officers, that is not accrued for in the Consolidated Statement of Net Assets) and vendor expenses. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Company’s Strategy—The Company Expects to Establish a Reserve Fund with Proceeds of Its Final Asset Sales in Order to Satisfy Claims” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

On April 7, 2022, the Company de-listed its common shares from the NYSE in anticipation of the Company’s sale of Crossroads Center and the winding up of its business. As a result, shareholders may have difficulty trading their common shares and the Company’s Board of Directors is no longer required to be comprised of a majority of independent directors. On July 1, 2022, the independent members of the Company's Board of Directors resigned, and the Board of Directors is now comprised exclusively of management directors. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Company’s Common Shares—If an Active Trading Market for the Company’s Common Shares Is Not Sustained, or if the Company’s Common Shares are Delisted from the NYSE, Shareholders’ Ability to Sell Shares When Desired and the Prices Obtained Will Be Adversely Affected” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Through its winding up and dissolution, the Company will be required to continue to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, even if compliance with these reporting requirements is economically burdensome. In order to

curtail expenses, the Company eventually expects to seek relief from the Securities and Exchange Commission from the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act. If such relief is granted, shareholders will have access to substantially limited public information about the Company, which may further impact the trading market for the Company's common shares. The Company will continue to incur professional fees prior to and in connection with such deregistration processes, which will also affect the amounts available for distribution to shareholders in connection with the winding up of the Company’s business and affairs.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

MD&A should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report. Historical results and percentage relationships set forth in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, including trends that might appear, should not be taken as indicative of future operations. The Company considers portions of this information to be “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, both as amended, with respect to the Company’s expectations for future periods. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements related to acquisitions (including any related pro forma financial information) and other business development activities, future capital expenditures, financing sources and availability and the effects of environmental and other regulations. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that its expectations will be achieved. For this purpose, any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact should be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, the words “will,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “expects,” “seeks,” “estimates” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Readers should exercise caution in interpreting and relying on forward-looking statements because such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that are, in some cases, beyond the Company’s control and that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements and that could materially affect the Company’s actual results, performance or achievements. For additional factors that could cause the results of the Company to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements, see Item 1A. Risk Factors in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Factors that could cause actual results, performance or achievements (including amounts available for distribution to shareholders) to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following:

The occurrence and outcome of litigation, including litigation with former tenants and purchasers of its properties;
The Company may be unable to collect amounts owed to it by third parties;
The Company is subject to potential environmental liabilities;
Changes in accounting or other standards;
A change in the Company’s relationship with SITE Centers and SITE Centers’ ability to retain qualified personnel and adequately manage the Company;
Potential conflicts of interest with SITE Centers and the Company’s ability to replace SITE Centers as manager (and the fees to be paid to any replacement manager) in the event the New Management Agreement is terminated and
The Company and its vendors, including SITE Centers, could sustain a disruption, failure or breach of their respective networks and systems, including as a result of cyber-attacks, which could disrupt the Company’s business operations, compromise the confidentiality of sensitive information and result in fines and penalties.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Proceeds from the Company's final asset sales will be used for general corporate purposes, and to maintain an appropriate cash balance to satisfy claims and expenses related to the winding up of the Company's business and distributions to holders of the Company’s common shares. The Company has not entered, and does not plan to enter, into any derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had no other material exposure to market risk.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), conducted an evaluation, pursuant to Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on their evaluation as required, the CEO and CFO have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) were effective as of June 30, 2022, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and were effective as of June 30 2022, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its CEO and CFO, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
