NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  Organization and Basis of Presentations

Organization

RPT Realty, together with our subsidiaries (the “Company” or “RPT”), is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) engaged in the business of owning and operating a national portfolio of open-air shopping destinations principally located in the top U.S. markets. The Company's shopping centers offer diverse, locally-curated consumer experiences that reflect the lifestyles of their surrounding communities and meet the modern expectations of the Company's retail partners. The Company is a fully integrated and self-administered REIT publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). The common shares of beneficial interest of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (the “common share”), are listed and traded on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “RPT”. As of June 30, 2022, the Company's property portfolio (the “aggregate portfolio”) consisted of 47 wholly-owned shopping centers, ten shopping centers owned through its grocery anchored joint venture and 47 retail properties owned through its net lease joint venture which together represent 14.9 million square feet of gross leasable area (“GLA”).  As of June 30, 2022, the Company’s pro-rata share of the aggregate portfolio was 93.3% leased.

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and our majority owned subsidiary, RPT Realty, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership” or “OP” which was 98.1% and 98.0% owned by the Company at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively), and all wholly-owned subsidiaries, including entities in which we have a controlling financial interest or have been determined to be the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”). The presentation of condensed consolidated financial statements does not itself imply that 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 other consolidated entity (including any special-purpose entity formed for a particular project) are obligations of any other consolidated entity. Investments in real estate joint ventures over which we have the ability to exercise significant influence, but for which we do not have financial or operating control, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, our share of the earnings (loss) of these joint ventures is included in consolidated net income (loss). All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

We have elected to be a REIT for federal income tax purposes.  The information furnished is unaudited and reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to reflect a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented, and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.  These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The preparation of our unaudited financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management of the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and reported amounts that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications of prior period amounts have been made in the condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes in order to conform to the current presentation.

Equity Distribution Agreements

In February 2020, the Company entered in to an Equity Distribution Agreement (“2020 Equity Distribution Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company could offer and sell, from time to time, the Company's common shares having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $100.0 million (the “Prior ATM Program”). During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company entered into forward sale agreements under the Prior ATM Program to sell an aggregate of 75,000 shares of common shares. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company subsequently settled all forward sale agreements under the Prior ATM Program, receiving $1.0 million of gross proceeds before issuance costs, which were used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

In February 2022, the Company entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (“2022 Equity Distribution Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time, the Company's common shares having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $150.0 million (the “Current ATM Program”). In connection with the establishment of the Current ATM Program, the 2020 Equity Distribution Agreement was terminated effective February 18, 2022, and there will be no future issuances under the Prior ATM Program. Under the Current ATM Program, sales of the shares of common shares may be made, in the Company's discretion, from time to time in “at-the-market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The 2022 Equity Distribution Agreement also provides that the Company may enter into forward sale agreements for shares of its common shares with forward sellers and forward purchasers. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company entered into forward sale agreements to sell an aggregate of 1,226,271 shares of its common shares, at a weighted average offering price of $13.85 before discounts and offering expenses. The Company has not settled any shares pursuant to these forward sale agreements as of June 30, 2022, and is required to settle the outstanding shares of common shares by March 2023. As of June 30, 2022, $133.0 million of common shares remained available for issuance under the Current ATM Program after reducing the program capacity for shares currently under contract on a forward basis.

To account for the forward sale agreements, the Company considers the accounting guidance governing financial instruments and derivatives. To date, the Company has concluded that its forward sale agreements are not liabilities as they do not embody obligations to repurchase its shares nor do they embody obligations to issue a variable number of shares for which the monetary value are predominantly fixed, varying with something other than the fair value of the shares, or varying inversely in relation to its shares. The Company then evaluates whether the agreements meet the derivatives and hedging guidance scope exception to be accounted for as equity instruments. The Company has concluded that the agreements are classifiable as equity contracts based on the following assessments: (i) none of the agreements’ exercise contingencies are based on observable markets or indices besides those related to the market for the Company’s own stock price and operations; and (ii) none of the settlement provisions precluded the agreements from being indexed to its own stock.

The Company also considers the potential dilution resulting from the forward sale agreements on the earnings per share calculations. The Company uses the treasury stock method to determine the dilution resulting from the forward sale agreements during the period of time prior to settlement.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2021, the FASB updated Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 842 “Leases” with ASU 2021-05 “Lessors-Certain Leases with Variable Lease Payments” (“ASU 2021-05”). ASU 2021-05 affects lessors with lease contracts that (1) have variable lease payments that do not depend on a reference index or a rate and (2) would have resulted in the recognition of a selling loss at lease commencement if classified as sales-type or direct financing. ASU 2021-05 amends the lease classification requirements for lessors to align them with practice under Topic 840, whereby lessors classify and account for a lease with variable lease payments that do not depend on a reference index or a rate as an operating lease when certain criteria are met. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within that fiscal year. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements, as the Company's customary lease terms do not result in sales-type or direct financing classifications, although future leases may.

Included in our net real estate assets are income producing properties that are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization, construction in progress, land available for development and real estate held for sale.

We review our investment in real estate, including any related intangible assets, for impairment on a property-by-property basis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the property may not be recoverable.  These changes in circumstances include, but are not limited to, changes in occupancy, rental rates, net operating income, real estate values and expected holding period.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we recorded no impairment provision.

Construction in progress represents existing development, redevelopment and tenant build-out projects.  When projects are substantially complete and ready for their intended use, balances are transferred to land or building and improvements as appropriate.  Construction in progress was $13.6 million and $16.8 million at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The decrease in construction in progress from December 31, 2021 to June 30, 2022 was due primarily to the completion of tenant build-outs and property dispositions, partially offset by capital expenditures for ongoing projects.

Land available for development includes real estate projects where vertical construction has yet to commence, but which have been identified by us and are available for future development when market conditions dictate the demand for a new shopping center or outparcel pad. The viability of all projects under construction or development, including those owned by our unconsolidated joint ventures, is regularly evaluated under applicable accounting requirements, including requirements relating to abandonment of assets or changes in use.  Land available for development was $25.8 million and $26.2 million at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Pursuant to the criteria established under ASC Topic 360 we classify properties as held for sale when the following criteria are met (i) management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell a property (or group of properties), (ii) the property is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such properties, (iii) an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the property have been initiated, (iv) the sale of the property is probable and transfer of the asset is expected to be completed within one year, (v) the property is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value and (vi) actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. As of June 30, 2022, we had one property classified as held for sale with a net book value of $35.3 million included in Net real estate, which was subsequently sold in July 2022. As of December 31, 2021, certain net lease retail assets held by the consolidated portfolio had been fully subdivided from our wholly-owned shopping centers, and the Company had a legally binding agreement to contribute these properties to our RGMZ Venture REIT LLC (“RGMZ”) joint venture. As of December 31, 2021, these properties were classified as held for sale with a net book value of $3.8 million, and were subsequently sold during March 2022.

Joint Venture Management and Other Fee Income

We receive a property management fee which is based upon 4.0% of gross revenues received for providing services to R2G and recognize these fees as the services are rendered. We also receive leasing fees from R2G for new leases and renewal leases of 6.0% and 2.5%, respectively, of total expected rent over the length of the lease, capped at 10 years. We receive an asset management fee for services provided to RGMZ, which is based upon 0.25% of the gross asset value of net lease retail assets in RGMZ. We also receive leasing fees from RGMZ for new leases and renewal leases of 5.0% and 2.5%, respectively, of total expected rent over the length of the lease, capped at 10 years. The Company will be paid an additional annual incentive management fee equal to 0.15% based upon the appraised gross asset value of the net lease retail assets in RGMZ. However, the Company will not earn this fee until meeting certain financial hurdles measured at sale or initial public offering of the RGMZ joint venture. Notwithstanding the forgoing for both joint ventures, for tenants with space in excess of 17,000 rentable square feet, the fees are as follows: (i) $1 per rentable square foot for each renewal lease, (ii) (a) $5 per rentable square foot for each new lease for grocer and (b) $4 per rentable square foot for each new lease for non-grocer. We also can receive fees from both joint ventures for construction management and development management. We are responsible for paying any third-party leasing fees.

The mortgage loans encumbering our properties are generally nonrecourse, subject to certain exceptions for which we would be liable for any resulting losses incurred by the lender. These exceptions vary from loan to loan but generally include fraud or a material misrepresentation, misstatement or omission by the borrower, intentional or grossly negligent conduct by the borrower that harms the property or results in a loss to the lender, filing of a bankruptcy petition by the borrower, either directly or indirectly and certain environmental liabilities. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain events, such as fraud or filing of a bankruptcy petition by the borrower, we would be liable for the entire outstanding balance of the loan, all interest accrued thereon and certain other costs, including penalties and expenses.

Covenants

Our revolving credit facility, senior unsecured notes as amended and term loan facilities contain financial covenants relating to total leverage, fixed charge coverage ratio, unencumbered assets, tangible net worth and various other calculations. As of June 30, 2022, we were in compliance with these covenants.

6.  Fair Value

We utilize fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures.  Derivative instruments (interest rate swaps) are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.  Additionally, we, from time to time, may be required to record other assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.  As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, GAAP establishes three fair value levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value.  The assessed inputs used in determining any fair value measurement could result in incorrect valuations that could be material to our condensed consolidated financial statements.  These levels are:

Level 1    Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

Level 2     Valuation is based upon prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.

Level 3     Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption which is not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for our assets and liabilities recorded at fair value.
Page 19

Derivative Assets and Liabilities

All of our derivative instruments are interest rate swaps for which quoted market prices are not readily available.  For those derivatives, we measure fair value on a recurring basis using valuation models that use primarily market observable inputs, such as yield curves.  We classify these instruments as Level 2.  Refer to Note 7 Derivative Financial Instruments of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on our derivative financial instruments.

The table below presents the recorded amount of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and escrows, accounts receivables and accounts payable and accrued liabilities are reasonable estimates of their fair values because of the short maturity of these financial instruments.

We estimated the fair value of our debt based on our incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements with the same remaining maturity and on the discounted estimated future cash payments to be made for other debt.  The discount rates used approximate current lending rates for loans or groups of loans with similar maturities and credit quality, assumes the debt is outstanding through maturity and considers the debt’s collateral (if applicable).  Since such amounts are estimates that are based on limited available market information for similar transactions, there can be no assurance that the disclosed value of any financial instrument could be realized by immediate settlement of the instrument.

The Company determined that the valuation of its fixed rate senior unsecured notes, unsecured term loan facilities (including variable rate term loans swapped to fixed through derivatives), and unsecured revolving credit facility were classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and its fixed rate mortgages were classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Our Level 2 fixed rate debt (including variable rate debt swapped to fixed through derivatives) with a carrying value of $821.5 million at both June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, had fair values of approximately $783.0 million and $833.1 million, as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.  Our Level 2 variable rate debt’s fair value is estimated to be the carrying value of $112.0 million and $35.0 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Our Level 3 fixed rate mortgages had carrying values of $31.0 million and $31.7 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and had fair values of approximately $31.0 million and $32.4 million, respectively.

The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for our assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis:

Net Real Estate

Our net investment in real estate, including any identifiable intangible assets, is subject to impairment testing on a nonrecurring basis. To estimate fair value, we use discounted cash flow models that include assumptions of the discount rates that market participants would use in pricing the asset or pricing from potential or comparable market transactions. To the extent impairment has occurred, we charge to expense the excess of the carrying value of the property over its estimated fair value. We classify impaired real estate assets as nonrecurring Level 3. During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we did not incur any impairment for income producing shopping centers that are required to be measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. We did not have any material liabilities that were required to be measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

7.  Derivative Financial Instruments

We utilize interest rate swap agreements for risk management purposes to reduce the impact of changes in interest rates on our variable rate debt.  We may also enter into forward starting swaps to set the effective interest rate on planned variable rate financing. On the date we enter into an interest rate swap, the derivative is designated as a hedge against the variability of cash flows that are to be paid in connection with a recognized liability.  Subsequent changes in the fair value of a derivative designated as a cash flow hedge that is determined to be effective are recorded in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) until earnings are affected by the variability of cash flows of the hedged transaction.  The differential between fixed and variable rates to be paid or received is accrued, as interest rates change, and recognized currently as interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.  We assess effectiveness of our cash flow hedges both at inception and on an ongoing basis.  Our cash flow hedges become ineffective, for example, if critical terms of the hedging instrument and the debt do not perfectly match such as notional amounts, settlement dates, reset dates and calculation period and London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) rate. At June 30, 2022, all of our hedges were effective.

In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority announced it intended to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. In March 2021, the ICE Benchmark Administration, the administrator of LIBOR, announced its intention to cease publication of certain LIBOR settings after 2021, while continuing to publish overnight and one-, three-, six-, and twelve-month U.S. dollar LIBOR rates through June 30, 2023. While this announcement extended the transition period to June 2023, the United States Federal Reserve Board and other regulatory bodies concurrently issued guidance encouraging banks and other financial market participants to cease entering into new contracts that use U.S. dollar LIBOR as a reference rate as soon as practicable and in any event no later than December 31, 2021. In the U.S., the Alternative Reference Rates Committee (“AARC”), which was convened by the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, has recommended the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus a recommended spread adjustment as its preferred alternative to USD-LIBOR. There are significant differences between LIBOR and SOFR, such as LIBOR being an unsecured lending rate while SOFR is a secured rate, and SOFR is an overnight rate while LIBOR reflects term rates at different maturities.

We expect that all LIBOR settings relevant to us will cease to be published or will no longer be representative after June 30, 2023. As a result, any of our LIBOR-based borrowings that extend beyond such date will need to be converted to a replacement rate. Certain risks may arise in connection with transitioning contracts to SOFR or any other alternative variable rate, including any resulting value transfer that may occur. The value of loans, securities, or derivative instruments tied to LIBOR could also be impacted. We have material contracts that are indexed to USD-LIBOR, and for some instruments, the method of transitioning to an alternative rate may be challenging, as they may require substantial negotiation with each respective counterparty. If a contract is not transitioned to an alternative variable rate and LIBOR is discontinued, the impact is likely to vary by contract.

The discontinuation of LIBOR will not affect our ability to borrow or maintain already outstanding borrowings or swaps, but if our contracts indexed to LIBOR, including certain contracts governing our variable rate debt and our interest rate swaps, are converted to SOFR, the differences between LIBOR and SOFR, plus the recommended spread adjustment, could result in interest costs that are higher than if LIBOR remained available. Additionally, although SOFR is the AARC’s recommended replacement rate, it is also possible that lenders may instead choose alternative replacement rates that may differ from LIBOR in ways similar to SOFR or in ways that would result in higher interest costs for us. It is not yet possible to predict the magnitude of LIBOR’s end on our borrowing costs given the remaining uncertainty about which rates will replace LIBOR.

At June 30, 2022, we had ten interest rate swap agreements in effect for an aggregate notional amount of $310.0 million converting our floating rate corporate debt to fixed rate debt.

Expenses

We have operating leases for our two corporate offices in New York, New York and Southfield, Michigan, that expire in January 2024 and December 2024, respectively. Our operating lease in New York includes an additional five year renewal and our operating lease in Southfield includes two additional five year renewals which are all exercisable at our option. We also have an operating ground lease at Centennial Shops located in Edina, Minnesota which includes rent escalations throughout the lease period and expires in April 2105. In addition, we have a finance ground lease at our Buttermilk Towne Center with the City of Crescent Springs that expires in December 2032. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; we recognize lease expenses for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

10.  Share-based Compensation Plans

As of June 30, 2022, we have two share-based compensation plans in effect: 1) the Amended and Restated 2019 Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2019 LTIP”) and 2) the Inducement Incentive Plan (“Inducement Plan”). The 2019 LTIP is administered by the compensation committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”). The 2019 LTIP provides for the award to our trustees, officers, employees and other service providers of restricted shares, restricted share units, options to purchase shares, share appreciation rights, unrestricted shares, and other awards to acquire up to an aggregate of 5.1 million common shares of beneficial interest plus any shares that become available under the 2012 Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2012 LTIP”) as a result of the forfeiture, expiration or cancellation of outstanding awards or any award settled in cash in lieu of shares under such plan. As of June 30, 2022, there were 1.7 million shares of beneficial interest available for issuance under the 2019 LTIP. The Inducement Plan was approved by the Board in April 2018 and under such plan the Compensation Committee may grant, subject to any Company performance conditions as specified by the Compensation Committee, restricted shares, restricted share units, options and other awards to individuals who were not previously employees or members of the Board as an inducement to the individual's entry into employment with the Company. The Inducement Plan allows us to issue up to 6.0 million common shares of beneficial interest, of which 5.0 million remained available for issuance as of June 30, 2022; however, we do not intend to make further awards under the Inducement Plan following adoption of the 2019 LTIP.

As of June 30, 2022, we had 885,688 unvested service-based share awards outstanding under the 2019 LTIP, 3,810 unvested service-based share awards outstanding under the 2012 LTIP and no unvested service-based share awards outstanding under the Inducement Plan.  These awards have various expiration dates through June 2025.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we granted the following awards:

272,995 shares of service-based restricted stock. The service-based awards were valued based on our closing stock price as of the grant date; and
Performance-based equity awards that are earned subject to a future performance measurement based on a three-year shareholder return peer comparison (“TSR Grants”).

The service-based restricted share awards to employees vest over three years and the compensation expense is recognized on a graded vesting basis. The service-based restricted share awards to trustees vest over one year. We recognized expense related to service-based restricted share grants of $1.1 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively, and expense of $2.1 million for both the six months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021.

Page 26

The Company has TSR Grants that are either earned (1) subject to a future performance measurement based on a three-year shareholder return peer comparison or (2) subject to a future performance measurement based on the Company's stock price over a four-year performance period. The Company determines the grant date fair value of the TSR Grants that will be settled in equity based upon a Monte Carlo simulation model and recognizes the compensation expense ratably over the requisite service period. These equity awards are not re-valued at the end of each quarter. The compensation cost will be recognized regardless of whether the performance criterion are met, provided the requisite service has been provided. Compensation expense related to the equity awards was $1.4 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively, and $2.6 million and $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively. The fair value of each grant for the reported periods is estimated on the date of grant using the Monte Carlo simulation model using the weighted average assumptions noted in the following table:

As of December 31, 2021, the future performance measurement period had been completed for all outstanding TSR Grants that will be settled in cash, and as such, there were no Monte Carlo simulation models performed for cash settled awards during the six months ended June 30, 2022. Compensation expense related to the cash awards was $0.6 million and $1.2 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.

We recognized total share-based compensation expense of $2.5 million and $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively, and $4.7 million and $4.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively.

As of June 30, 2022, we had $17.2 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested restricted shares and performance based equity awards.  This expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.4 years.     

11.  Taxes

Income Taxes

We conduct our operations with the intent of meeting the requirements applicable to a REIT under sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code.  In order to maintain our qualification as a REIT, we and our subsidiary REITs are required to distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, excluding net capital gain, to our shareholders.  As long as we qualify as a REIT, we will generally not be liable for federal corporate income taxes.

Certain of our operations, including property management and asset management, as well as ownership of certain land, are conducted through our taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”) which allows us to provide certain services and conduct certain activities that are not generally considered as qualifying REIT activities.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the impact of temporary differences between the amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the bases of such assets and liabilities as measured by tax laws.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the amount where realization is more likely than not assured after considering all available evidence, including expected taxable earnings and potential tax planning strategies.  Our temporary differences primarily relate to deferred compensation, depreciation, land basis differences, and net operating loss carry forwards.

As of June 30, 2022, we had a federal and state deferred tax asset of $8.5 million and a valuation allowance of $8.5 million.  Our deferred tax assets are reduced by an offsetting valuation allowance where there is uncertainty regarding their realizability. We believe that it is more likely than not that the results of future operations will not generate sufficient taxable income to recognize the deferred tax assets.  These future operations are primarily dependent upon the profitability of our TRSs, the timing and amounts of gains on land sales, and other factors affecting the results of operations of the TRSs.  

Page 27

If in the future we are able to conclude it is more likely than not that we will realize a future benefit from a deferred tax asset, we will reduce the related valuation allowance by the appropriate amount. The first time this occurs, it will result in a net deferred tax asset on our balance sheet and an income tax benefit of equal magnitude in our consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income in the period we make the determination.

We recorded an income tax provision of approximately $0.1 million for both the six months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021. The income tax provision for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was negligible.

Sales Taxes

We collect various taxes from tenants and remit these amounts, on a net basis, to the applicable taxing authorities.

12.  Commitments and Contingencies

Construction Costs

In connection with the leasing and targeted remerchandising of various shopping centers as of June 30, 2022, we had entered into agreements for construction costs of approximately $5.0 million.

Litigation

We are currently involved in certain litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. We are not aware of any matters that would have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Development Obligations

As of June 30, 2022, the Company has $1.7 million of development related obligations that require annual payments through December 2032.

Guarantee

A redevelopment agreement was entered into between the City of Jacksonville, the Jacksonville Economic Development Commission and the Company, to construct and develop River City Marketplace in 2005. As part of the agreement, the city agreed to finance up to $12.2 million of bonds. Repayment of the bonds is to be made in accordance with a level-payment amortization schedule over 20 years, and repayments are made out of tax revenues generated by the redevelopment. The remaining debt service payments due over the life of the bonds, including principal and interest, are $6.7 million. As part of the redevelopment, the Company executed a guaranty agreement whereby the Company would fund debt service payments if incremental tax revenues were not sufficient to fund repayment. There have been no payments made by the Company under this guaranty agreement to date.

Environmental Matters

We are subject to numerous federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations in the areas where we own or operate properties. We are not aware of any contamination which may have been caused by us or any of our tenants that would have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

As part of our risk management activities, we have applied and been accepted into state sponsored environmental programs which will expedite and assure satisfactory compliance with environmental laws and regulations should contaminants need to be remediated. We also have an environmental insurance policy that covers us against third party liabilities and remediation costs.

While we believe that we do not have any material exposure to environmental remediation costs, we cannot give absolute assurance that changes in the law or new discoveries of contamination will not result in additional liabilities to us.

13.  Subsequent Events

We have evaluated subsequent events through the date that the condensed consolidated financial statements were issued.

Subsequent to June 30, 2022, the Company separately borrowed $113.0 million and made repayments of $75.0 million on its unsecured revolving credit facility.

On July 6, 2022, the Company executed a purchase and sale agreement for Mount Prospect Plaza for a contract price of $34.6 million. The property had a net book value of $30.1 million as of June 30, 2022. In accordance with ASC Topic 360, this property met the criteria for held-for-sale subsequent to June 30, 2022. The disposition is expected to close in August 2022.

On July 7, 2022, R2G completed the acquisition of Mary Brickell Village, a 200,000 square foot shopping center located in Miami, FL for a contract price of $216.0 million.

On July 21, 2022 the Company closed on the sale of Tel-Twelve, a 194,000 square foot shopping center located in Southfield, MI, for a contract price of $45.0 million.

On August 2, 2022, the Company entered into amendments to the note purchase agreements governing all of the Company's outstanding senior unsecured notes, with the exception of the note purchase agreement, dated October 8, 2021, by and among the Company, the Operating Partnership and the purchasers of the notes party thereto (the “2021 Note Purchase Agreement”). These amendments modify certain covenants, including the removal of the restrictions on certain investments covenant and modifications to the development activities covenant, increases on the minimum and maximum dollar thresholds included in events of default and modification to related definitions contained in each of the note purchase agreements to align with the 2021 Note Purchase Agreement.

Overview

RPT Realty owns and operates a national portfolio of open-air shopping destinations principally located in top U.S. markets. The Company's shopping centers offer diverse, locally-curated consumer experiences that reflect the lifestyles of their surrounding communities and meet the modern expectations of the Company's retail partners. The Company is a fully integrated and self-administered REIT publicly traded on the NYSE. The common shares of beneficial interest of the Company, par value $0.01 per share, are listed and traded on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “RPT”. As of June 30, 2022, the Company's property portfolio (the “aggregate portfolio”) consisted of 47 wholly-owned shopping centers, ten shopping centers owned through its grocery anchored joint venture and 47 retail properties owned through its net lease joint venture which together represent 14.9 million square feet of GLA.  As of June 30, 2022, the Company’s pro-rata share of the aggregate portfolio was 93.3% leased.

Impact of COVID-19

The Company continues to closely monitor the COVID-19 pandemic, including the impact on our business, our tenants, our vendors and our partners, and implement policies to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 on the Company's business as well as for the safety and protection of its employees, tenants and communities.

The spread of COVID-19, including variants thereof, has caused significant market volatility and adverse impacts on the U.S. retail market, the U.S. economy, the global economy, and financial markets. While the overall economy continues to recover, several issues, including the changes in consumer behavior, lack of qualified employees, inflation risk, supply chain bottlenecks and COVID-19 variants have impacted, and may continue to impact, the pace of the recovery.

Page 30

The Company’s predominant source of revenue is from rents and reimbursable expenses received from tenants pursuant to lease agreements. Therefore, the Company’s financial results may be adversely impacted in the event our tenants are unable to make rental payments due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Starting in the first quarter of 2021, current rent collections approached pre-pandemic levels, and starting in the first quarter of 2022, rental income not probable of collection returned to pre-pandemic levels, however, a worsening or resurgence of the COVID-19 pandemic could adversely impact the ability of tenants to pay rent. The factors described above, as well as additional factors that the Company may not currently be aware of, could materially negatively impact the Company’s ability to collect rent and could lead to tenant bankruptcies, rejection of tenant leases in bankruptcy, difficulties in renewing or re-leasing retail space, difficulties in accessing capital, impairment of the Company’s assets and other effects that could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and ability to pay distributions to shareholders. See “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Our Strategy

Over the past three years, the Company entered two strategic joint ventures, positioning itself to meaningfully transform its portfolio, primarily focusing on major metropolitan U.S. markets in the Northeast and Southeast regions, which are supported by strong demographics, educational attainment, tech/life science/university adjacencies, pro-business environments and job growth. As of June 30, 2022, the Company derived 96.1% of its annualized base rent from the top 40 national markets, such as Boston, Atlanta, Detroit and Nashville, in addition to several markets in Florida, including Tampa, Miami and Jacksonville.

Our primary business goals are to increase operating cash flows and deliver above average relative shareholder return. Specifically, we pursue the following methods to achieve these goals:

Capitalize on accretive acquisition opportunities of open-air shopping centers through our complimentary joint venture platforms and balance sheet. We intend to pursue growth through the strategic acquisition of attractively priced open-air shopping centers and, in certain cases, sell certain separately subdivided single tenant parcels in the shopping center to our single tenant, net lease joint venture platform, RGMZ, highlighting the meaningful arbitrage opportunities that we can create for our shareholders.

Acquire high quality open-air shopping centers and single tenant, net lease retail assets in the top U.S. metropolitan statistical areas (“MSA”). Our data-driven and stringent criteria for acquisition opportunities include a strong demographic profile, educational attainment, tech/life science/university adjacencies, pro-business environments, job growth, high exposure to essential tenants, tenant credit/term and an attractive risk-adjusted return.

Disciplined capital recycling strategy. We employ a data-driven and rigorous investment management strategy by selectively selling assets with returns and value that have been maximized and redeploying the capital into leasing, redevelopment, and acquisition of properties.

Remerchandise and redevelop our assets. Our strategy is to strategically remerchandise and redevelop certain of our existing properties where we have significant pre-leasing and can improve tenant credit and term, enhance the merchandising mix or augment the consumer experience with an alternative non-retail use, while generating attractive returns, and driving meaningful value creation.

Hands-on active asset management. We proactively manage our properties, employ data-driven targeted leasing strategies, maintain strong tenant relationships, drive rent and occupancy, focus on reducing operating expenses and property capital expenditures, and attract high quality and creditworthy tenants; all of which we believe enhances the value of our properties.

Curate our real estate to align with the current and future shopping center landscape. We intend to leverage technology and data, optimize distribution points for brick-and-mortar and e-commerce purchases, engage in best-in-class sustainability programs and create an optimal merchandising mix to continue to attract and engage our shoppers.

Maintain a strong, flexible and investment grade balance sheet. Our strategy is to maintain low leverage and high liquidity, proactively manage and stagger our debt maturities, and retain access to diverse sources of capital to support the business in any environment.

Page 31

Retain motivated, talented and high performing employees. To facilitate the attraction, retention and promotion of a talented and diverse workforce, we provide competitive compensation, best-in-class benefits and health and wellness programs, and champion programs that build connections between our employees and the communities where they live and at the properties we own.

Inflation

A significant portion of our operating expenses are sensitive to inflation. Our operating expenses are typically recoverable through our lease arrangements, which allow us to pass through substantially all operating expenses to our tenants. As of June 30, 2022, approximately 68% of our existing leases (on a gross leasable area basis) were triple net leases, which allow us to recover operating expenses. Of our remaining leases approximately 28% provide for recoveries of operating expenses at a fixed amount which have annual escalations ranging from 3% to 5%. During inflationary periods, we expect to recover increases in operating expenses from approximately 96% of our existing leases. As a result, we do not believe that inflation would result in a significant adverse effect on our net operating income, results of operations, and operating cash flows at the property level.

Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation costs and professional service fees. Annually, our employee compensation is adjusted to reflect merit increases; however, to maintain our ability to successfully compete for the best talent, rising inflation rates may require us to provide compensation increases beyond historical annual merit increases, which may significantly increase our compensation costs. Similarly, professional service fees are also subject to the impact of inflation and expected to increase proportionately with increasing market prices for such services. Consequently, inflation is expected to increase our general and administrative expenses over time and may adversely impact our results of operations and operating cash flows.

Also, during inflationary periods, interest rates have historically increased, which would have a direct effect on the interest expense of our borrowings. Our exposure to increases in interest rates in the short term is limited to our variable-rate borrowings, which as of June 30, 2022, was 12% of our total debt. Therefore, we do not expect that the effect of inflation on our interest expense would have a material adverse impact on our financing costs in the short term, but it could increase our financing costs over time as we refinance our existing long-term borrowings, or incur additional interest related to the issuance of incremental debt.

We have long-term lease agreements with our tenants, of which 6% - 11% (based on occupied gross leasable area) expire each year over the next three years (through 2024). We believe these annual lease expirations allow us to reset these leases to market rents upon renewal or re-leasing and that annual rent escalations within our long-term leases are generally sufficient to offset the effect of inflation. However, it is possible that during higher inflationary periods, the impact of inflation will not be adequately offset by the resetting of rents from our renewal and re-leasing activities or our annual rent escalations. As a result, during inflationary periods in which the inflation rate exceeds the annual rent escalation percentages within our lease contracts, we may not adequately mitigate the impact of inflation, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Additionally, inflationary pricing may have a negative effect on construction costs necessary to complete our leasing, development and redevelopment projects, including costs of construction materials, labor, and services from third-party contractors and suppliers. Higher construction costs could adversely impact our net investments in real estate and expected yields on our development and redevelopment projects, which over time may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Investing Activity

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company closed on two shopping center acquisitions for an aggregate amount of $110.2 million. and closed on one shopping center disposition for an amount of $18.8 million. Also, during the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company contributed two properties to RGMZ that had been created by us upon the subdivision of certain parcels from our existing open-air shopping centers, valued at $11.6 million to RGMZ. Refer to Note 3 of the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements in this report for additional information related to acquisitions and dispositions.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, RGMZ closed on three portfolio acquisitions for an aggregate amount of $50.8 million. Refer to Note 4 of the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements in this report for additional information.

Financing Activity

Debt

As of June 30, 2022, we had net debt of $989.8 million, reflecting net debt to total market capitalization of 51.2%, as compared to 41.4% at June 30, 2021. See the subsection “Capitalization” in “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” below for the Company's net debt reconciliation. Net debt increased by $147.9 million compared to June 30, 2021, primarily as a result of an increase in borrowings due to the Company's consolidated acquisition activities and investment in unconsolidated joint ventures, partially offset by proceeds received from the Company's consolidated disposition activities, including the contribution of properties to RGMZ since the end of the prior period, and proceeds from the issuance of common shares under the Company's equity distribution agreements.

Equity

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company entered into forward sale agreements under the Prior ATM Program to sell an aggregate of 75,000 shares of common shares. The Company subsequently settled all forward sale agreements under the Prior ATM Program, receiving $1.0 million of gross proceeds before issuance costs, which were used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

In February 2022, the Company entered into the 2022 Equity Distribution Agreement pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time, the Company's common shares having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $150.0 million. Sales of the shares of common shares may be made, in the Company's discretion, from time to time in “at-the-market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The 2022 Equity Distribution Agreement also provides that the Company may enter into forward sale agreements for shares of its common shares with forward sellers and forward purchasers. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company entered into forward sale agreements to sell an aggregate of 1,226,271 shares of its common shares, at a weighted average offering price of $13.85 before underwriting discount and offering expenses. The Company has not settled any shares pursuant to these forward sale agreements as of June 30, 2022, and is required to settle the outstanding shares of common shares by March 2023. As of June 30, 2022, $133.0 million of common shares remained available for issuance under the Current ATM Program after reducing the program capacity for shares currently under contract on a forward basis. The sale of such shares issuable pursuant to the Current ATM Program was registered with the SEC pursuant to a prospectus supplement filed in February 2022 and the accompanying base prospectus statement forming part of the Company's shelf registration statement on Form S-3ASR (No. 333-262871) which was filed with the SEC in February 2022.

Land Available for Development

At June 30, 2022, our three largest development sites are Parkway Shops, Lakeland Park Center and Hartland Towne Square. We continue to evaluate the best use for land available for development, portions of which are adjacent to our existing shopping centers. It is our policy to start vertical construction on new development projects only after the project has received entitlements, significant anchor commitments and construction financing, if appropriate.

Our development and construction activities are subject to risks such as our inability to obtain the necessary governmental approvals for a project, our determination that the expected return on a project is not sufficient to warrant continuation of the planned development, or our change in plan or scope for the development.  If any of these events occur, we may record an impairment provision.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Our estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We believe the following critical accounting policies require our most subjective judgment and use of estimates in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable

Most of our leases contain non-contingent rent escalations for which we recognize income on a straight-line basis over the non-cancelable lease term. This method results in rental income in the early years of a lease being higher than actual cash received, creating a straight-line rent receivable asset which is included in the “Other Assets” line item in our consolidated balance sheets. We review our unbilled straight-line rent receivable balance to determine the future collectability of revenue that will not be billed to or collected from tenants due to early lease terminations, lease modifications, bankruptcies and other factors. Our evaluation is based on our assessment of tenant credit risk changes indicating that expected future straight-line rent may not be realized. Depending on circumstances, we may provide a reserve against the previously recognized straight-line rent receivable asset for a portion, up to its full value, that we estimate may not be received.

Additionally, we monitor the collectability of our accounts receivable from specific tenants on an ongoing basis, analyze historical experience, customer creditworthiness, current economic trends and changes in tenant payment terms when evaluating the likelihood of tenant payment. For operating leases in which collectability of rental income is not considered probable, rental income is recognized on a cash basis and allowances are taken for those balances that we have reason to believe may be uncollectible in the period it is determined not to be probable of collection.

Acquisitions

Acquisitions of properties are accounted for utilizing the acquisition method (which requires all assets acquired and liabilities assumed be measured at acquisition date fair value) and, accordingly, the results of operations of an acquired property are included in our results of operations from the date of acquisition. Estimates of fair values are based upon future cash flows and other valuation techniques in accordance with our fair value measurements policy, which are used to allocate the purchase price of acquired property among land, buildings, tenant improvements and identifiable intangibles. Identifiable intangible assets and liabilities include the effect of above-and below-market leases, the value of having leases in place (“as-is” versus “as if vacant” and absorption costs), other intangible assets such as assumed tax increment revenue bonds and out-of-market assumed mortgages. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of 40 years for buildings, and over the remaining terms of any intangible asset contracts and the respective tenant leases, which may include bargain renewal options. The impact of these estimates, including estimates in connection with acquisition values and estimated useful lives, could result in significant differences related to the purchased assets, liabilities and subsequent depreciation or amortization expense.

Impairment of Real Estate Investments

We review our investment in real estate, including any related intangible assets, for impairment on a property-by-property basis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the property may not be recoverable. These changes in circumstances include, but are not limited to, changes in occupancy, rental rates, tenant sales, net operating income, geographic location, real estate values and expected holding period. The viability of all projects under construction or development, including those owned by unconsolidated joint ventures, is regularly evaluated under applicable accounting requirements, including requirements relating to abandonment of assets or changes in use. To the extent a project or an individual component of the project, is no longer considered to have value, the related capitalized costs are charged against operations. We recognize an impairment of an investment in real estate when the estimated undiscounted cash flows are less than the net carrying value of the property. If it is determined that an investment in real estate or an equity investment is impaired, then the carrying value is reduced to the estimated fair value as determined by cash flow models and discount rates or comparable sales in accordance with our fair value measurement policy.

Page 35

We have equity investments in unconsolidated joint venture entities which own multi-tenant shopping centers and net lease retail properties. We review our equity investments in unconsolidated entities for impairment on a nonrecurring basis if a decline in the fair value of the investment below the carrying amount is determined to be a decline that is other-than-temporary. In testing for impairment of these equity investments, we primarily use cash flow models, discount rates, and capitalization rates to estimate the fair value of properties held in joint ventures. Considerable judgment by management is applied when determining whether an equity investment in an unconsolidated entity is impaired and, if so, the amount of the impairment.

Impairment provisions resulting from any event or change in circumstances, including changes in our intentions or our analysis of varying scenarios, could be material to our consolidated financial statements.
Impairment may be impacted by macroeconomic conditions which may result in property operational disruption and indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, contains a description of our critical accounting policies, including policies for the initial adoption of accounting policies, revenue recognition and accounts receivable, real estate investment acquisitions and impairment of real estate investments.

Comparison of three months ended June 30, 2022 to June 30, 2021

The following summarizes certain line items from our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income that we believe are important in understanding our operations and/or have significantly changed in the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021:

Total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased $3.1 million, or 5.9%, from the same period in 2021. The increase is primarily due to the following: 
$6.4 million increase due to properties acquired since the prior period;
$1.1 million increase due to decreased rental income not probable of collection and abatements in the current period primarily due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the prior period; and
$0.3 million increase related to management and leasing fees collected from our unconsolidated joint ventures; partially offset by
$3.4 million decrease related to properties disposed since the prior period, including those properties that were contributed to RGMZ;
$1.1 million decrease related to straight-line rent reserve adjustments recorded in the prior period which did not recur; and
$0.4 million decrease from the acceleration of a below market lease in the prior period attributable to a tenant who vacated prior to the original estimated lease end date.
Page 36

Real estate tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2022 decreased $1.6 million, or (18.0)% from the same period in 2021, primarily due to lower net expenses at our existing properties and the impact of properties disposed since the prior period, including those properties that were contributed to RGMZ. These decreases were partially offset by increases associated with properties acquired since the prior period.

Recoverable operating expense for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased $1.3 million, or 23.4% from the same period in 2021, primarily due to increases associated with properties acquired since the prior period, as well as higher common area maintenance expenses at our existing properties. These increases were partially offset by properties disposed since the prior period.

Non-recoverable operating expense for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased $0.2 million, or 10.5% from the same period in 2021, primarily due to increases in expenses associated with properties acquired since the prior period.

Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased $2.6 million, or 15.5%, from the same period in 2021.  The increase is primarily a result of increased expense associated with properties acquired since the prior period, partially offset by properties disposed since the period and higher asset write offs in the prior period for tenant lease terminations prior to their original estimated term.

During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded transaction costs of $4.4 million, primarily related to fees paid by the Company associated with the early termination of an existing tenant which did not qualify for capitalization as an initial direct cost in accordance with ASC 842.

General and administrative expense for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased $1.1 million, or 14.2% from the same period in 2021, primarily as a result of higher wages and payroll related expenses, higher travel expense and higher bonus expense in the current period.

The Company had gains on real estate disposals of $11.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $34.2 million from the same period in 2021. The current period activity is primarily related to the sale of one previously wholly-owned shopping center. Refer to Note 3 of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements in this report for further detail on dispositions.

Earnings from unconsolidated joint ventures for the three months ended June 30, 2022 decreased $3.5 million from the same period in 2021, primarily due to asset write offs in the current period associated with the demolition of a portion of one of our R2G properties in anticipation of near-term redevelopment and construction. These decreases were partially offset by increases associated with acquisition activity by our unconsolidated joint ventures since the prior period.

Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2022 decreased $0.5 million, or (5.7)%, from the same period in 2021. The Company had a 40 basis point decrease in our weighted average interest rate, which was partially offset by a 3.5% increase in our average outstanding debt in the current period. The decrease in our weighted average interest rate was primarily the result of repayments of fixed rate mortgages and senior unsecured notes since the prior period which were replaced with borrowings at lower interest rates. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had $112.0 million outstanding on our unsecured revolving credit facility.

Total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased $9.1 million, or 8.9%, from the same period in 2021. The increase is primarily due to the following: 
$10.8 million increase due to properties acquired since the prior period;
$3.9 million increase due to decreased rental income not probable of collection and abatements in the current period primarily due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the prior period;
$1.2 million increase from acceleration of below market leases in the current period attributable to tenants who vacated prior to the original estimated lease end date;
$0.8 million increase related to management and leasing fees collected from our unconsolidated joint ventures; and
$0.3 million increase in bankruptcy income; partially offset by
$6.8 million decrease related to properties disposed since the prior period, including those properties that were contributed to RGMZ; and
$1.1 million decrease related to straight-line rent reserve adjustments recorded in the prior period which did not recur.

Real estate tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2022 decreased $1.9 million, or (11.0)% from the same period in 2021, primarily due to lower net expenses at our existing properties and the impact of properties disposed since the prior period, including those properties that were contributed to RGMZ. These decreases were partially offset by increases associated with properties acquired since the prior period.

Recoverable operating expense for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased $2.4 million, or 19.7% from the same period in 2021, primarily due to increases associated with properties acquired since the prior period, as well as higher common area maintenance expenses at existing properties. These increases were partially offset by properties disposed since the prior period.

Non-recoverable operating expense for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased $0.3 million, or 6.3% from the same period in 2021, primarily due to increases in expenses associated with properties acquired since the prior period..

Depreciation and amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased $4.4 million, or 12.6%, from the same period in 2021. The increase is primarily a result of increased expense associated with properties acquired since the prior period and higher asset write offs in the prior period for tenant lease terminations prior to their original estimated term, partially offset by properties disposed since the period.
Page 38

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded transaction costs of $4.4 million, primarily related to fees paid by the Company associated with the early termination of an existing tenant which did not qualify for capitalization as an initial direct cost in accordance with ASC 842.

General and administrative expense for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased $2.1 million, or 13.7%, from the same period in 2021, primarily as a result of higher wages and payroll related expenses, higher travel expense and higher bonus expense in the current period.

The Company had gains on real estate disposals of $15.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $53.2 million from the same period in 2021. The current period activity is primarily related to the sale of one previously wholly-owned shopping center, as well as contributions of net lease assets to RGMZ. Refer to Note 3 of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements in this report for further detail on dispositions.

Earnings from unconsolidated joint ventures for the six months ended June 30, 2022 decreased $3.2 million from the same period in 2021, primarily due to asset write offs in the current period associated with the demolition of a portion of one of our R2G properties in anticipation of near-term redevelopment and construction. These decreases were partially offset by increases associated with acquisition activity by our unconsolidated joint ventures since the prior period.

Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2022 decreased $1.6 million, or (8.7)%, from same period in 2021. The Company had a 3.7% decrease in our average outstanding debt, as well as a 30 basis point decrease in our weighted average interest rate. The decrease in our weighted average interest rate was primarily the result of repayments of mortgages and senior unsecured notes since the prior period which were replaced with borrowings at lower interest rates. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had $112.0 million outstanding on our unsecured revolving credit facility.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary uses of capital include principal and interest payments on our outstanding indebtedness, ongoing capital expenditures such as leasing capital expenditures and building improvements, shareholder distributions, operating expenses of our business, debt maturities, acquisitions, investments in equity interests in unconsolidated joint ventures and discretionary capital expenditures such as targeted remerchandising, expansions, redevelopment and development. We generally strive to cover our principal and interest payments, operating expenses, shareholder distributions, and ongoing capital expenditures from cash flow from operations, although from time to time we have borrowed or sold assets to finance a portion of those uses. We believe the combination of cash flow from operations, cash balances, favorable relationships with our lenders, issuance of debt, property dispositions and issuance of equity securities will provide adequate capital resources to fund all of our expected uses over at least the next 12 months. Although we believe that the combination of factors discussed above will provide sufficient liquidity, no such assurance can be given and changing future business conditions related to COVID-19 could have an adverse impact on our future cash flows, which would adversely impact our liquidity and the achievement of our financial forecast.

We believe our current capital structure provides us with the financial flexibility to fund our current capital needs. We intend to continue to enhance our financial and operational flexibility by extending the duration of our debt, laddering our debt maturities, expanding our unencumbered asset base, and improving our leverage profile. In addition, we believe we have access to multiple forms of capital which includes unsecured corporate debt, secured mortgage debt, and preferred and common equity. However, there can be no assurances in this regard and additional financing and capital may not ultimately be available to us going forward, on favorable terms or at all.

At June 30, 2022 and 2021, we had $24.6 million and $37.9 million, respectively, in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash.  Restricted cash generally consists of funds held in escrow under an Internal Revenue Code Section 1031 exchange and funds held in escrow by mortgage lenders to pay real estate taxes, insurance premiums and certain capital expenditures. As of June 30, 2022, we had no remaining debt maturing in 2022, and we had $238.0 million of unused capacity under our $350.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility that could be borrowed subject to compliance with applicable financial covenants. Refer to Note 5 of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion on our covenants.

We consolidate entities in which we own less than 100% equity interest if we have a controlling interest or are the primary beneficiary in a variable interest entity, as defined in the Consolidation Topic of FASB ASC 810. From time to time, we enter into joint venture arrangements from which we believe we can benefit by owning a partial interest in one or more properties. As of June 30, 2022, our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures were approximately $239.0 million representing our ownership interest in three joint ventures. We accounted for these entities under the equity method. Refer to Note 4 of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements in this report for further information regarding our equity investments in unconsolidated joint ventures. We are engaged by certain of our joint ventures to provide asset management, property
Page 39

management, construction management, leasing and investing services for such ventures' respective properties. We receive fees for our services, including a property management fee calculated as a percentage of gross revenues received.

Our liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary to pay indebtedness at maturity, potential acquisitions of properties, redevelopment of existing properties, the development of land and discretionary capital expenditures. We continually search for investment opportunities that may require additional capital and/or liquidity. We will continue to pursue the strategy of selling non-core properties or land that no longer meet our investment criteria or advance our business strategy. Our ability to obtain acceptable selling prices and satisfactory terms and financing will impact the timing of future sales. We anticipate using net proceeds from the sale of properties or land to reduce outstanding debt and support current and future growth-oriented initiatives. To the extent that asset sales are not sufficient to meet our long-term liquidity needs, we expect to meet such needs by raising debt or issuing equity.

We have on file with the SEC an automatic shelf registration statement relating to the offer and sale of an indeterminable amount of debt securities, preferred shares, common shares, depository shares, warrant and rights. From time to time, we may issue securities under this registration statement for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, our cash flows were as follows compared to the same period in 2021:
 Six Months Ended June 30,
 20222021
 (In thousands)
Net cash provided by operating activities$36,839 $33,869 
Net cash used in investing activities$(103,927)$(58,004)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities$77,675 $(149,488)

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $3.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 primarily due to the following:
Increase in operating cash from properties acquired since the prior period; and
Increase in cash distributions from our unconsolidated joint ventures; partially offset by
Properties disposed since the prior period, including contribution of net lease retail assets to RGMZ; and
Higher working capital changes in the current period due to the timing of payments of accounts payable and accrued expenses.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities increased $45.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 primarily due to the following:
A decrease in the net proceeds from sale of real estate of $34.1 million; and
An increase in the acquisition of real estate of $13.1 million;
An increase in the acquisition of preferred investments of $4.2 million; partially offset by
A decrease in the investment in unconsolidated joint ventures of $6.4 million.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $77.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to net cash used in financing activities of $149.5 million in the same period in 2021. The change of $227.2 million was primarily the result of the following:
Net borrowings on our revolving credit facility of $77.0 million in 2022, compared to repayments of $100.0 million in 2021;
Decrease in the repayment of mortgages and notes payable of $37.6 million; and
Page 40

Increase in cash distributions from the financing activities of our unconsolidated joint ventures of $27.0 million; partially offset by
Increase of $15.4 million in distributions made to our common shareholders and operating partnership unit holders.

For further information on our unsecured revolving credit facility and other debt, refer to Note 5 of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Dividends and Equity

We and our subsidiary REITs currently qualify, and intend to continue to qualify in the future, as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code (“Code”).  As a REIT, we must distribute to our shareholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income annually, excluding net capital gains. Distributions paid are at the discretion of our Board of Trustees and depend on our actual net income available to common shareholders, cash flow, financial condition, capital requirements, restrictions in financing arrangements, the annual distribution requirements under REIT provisions of the Code and such other factors as our Board of Trustees deems relevant.

On April 29, 2022, our Board of Trustees declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.13 per common share to shareholders of record as of June 17, 2022. Additionally, we declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.90625 per Series D Cumulative Convertible Perpetual Preferred Share to preferred shareholders of record as of June 17, 2022. Our dividend policy is to make distributions to shareholders of at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, excluding net capital gains, in order to maintain qualification as a REIT.  Distributions paid by us are generally expected to be funded from cash flows from operating activities.  To the extent that cash flows from operating activities are insufficient to pay total distributions for any period, alternative funding sources are used.  Examples of alternative funding sources include proceeds from sales of real estate and bank borrowings.  The Board of Trustees will continue to evaluate the Company’s dividend policy throughout the remainder of 2022 based upon the Company's financial performance and economic outlook and intends to maintain a quarterly common dividend of at least the amount required to continue qualifying as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax requirements.

In February 2022, the Company entered into the 2022 Equity Distribution Agreement pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time, the Company's common shares having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $150.0 million. Sales of the shares of common shares may be made, in the Company's discretion, from time to time, in “at-the-market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act, as amended. The 2022 Equity Distribution Agreement also provides that the Company may enter into forward sale agreements for shares of its common shares with forward sellers and forward purchasers. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company entered into forward sale agreements to sell an aggregate of 1,226,271 shares of its common shares, at a weighted average offering price of $13.85 before discount and offering expenses. The Company has not settled any shares pursuant to these forward sale agreements as of June 30, 2022, and is required to settle the outstanding shares of common shares by March 2023. As of June 30, 2022, $133.0 million of shares of common shares remained available for issuance under the Current ATM Program after reducing the program capacity for shares currently under contract on a forward basis. The sale of such shares issuable under the Current ATM Program was registered with the SEC pursuant to a prospectus supplement filed in February 2022 and the accompanying base prospectus statement forming part of the Company's shelf registration statement on Form S-3ASR (No. 333-262871) which was filed with the SEC in February 2022.

Debt

At June 30, 2022, we had $964.5 million of debt outstanding consisting of $511.5 million in senior unsecured notes, $310.0 million of unsecured term loan facilities, $31.0 million of fixed rate mortgage loans encumbering certain properties, and $112.0 million of borrowings on our revolving credit facility.

Our $821.5 million of senior unsecured notes and term loan facilities have interest rates ranging from 2.46% to 4.74% and are due at various maturity dates from March 2023 through November 2031.

Our $31.0 million of fixed rate mortgages have interest rates ranging from 3.76% to 5.80% and are due at various maturity dates from January 2023 through June 2026. The fixed rate mortgage notes are secured by mortgages on properties that have an approximate net book value of $71.1 million as of June 30, 2022.

In addition, we have ten interest rate swap agreements in effect for an aggregate notional amount of $310.0 million converting our floating rate corporate debt to fixed rate debt.  After taking into account the impact of converting our variable rate debt to fixed rate debt by use of the interest rate swap agreements, at June 30, 2022, we had $112.0 million of variable rate debt outstanding.

A redevelopment agreement was entered into between the City of Jacksonville, the Jacksonville Economic Development Commission and the Company, to construct and develop River City Marketplace in 2005. As part of the agreement, the city agreed to finance up to $12.2 million of bonds. Repayment of the bonds is to be made in accordance with a level-payment amortization schedule over 20 years, and repayments are made out of tax revenues generated by the redevelopment. The remaining debt service payments due over the life of the bonds, including principal and interest, are $6.7 million. As part of the redevelopment, the Company executed a guaranty agreement whereby the Company would fund debt service payments if incremental tax revenues were not sufficient to fund repayment. There have been no payments made by the Company under this guaranty agreement to date.

Our revolving credit facility, senior unsecured notes and term loan facilities contain representations, warranties and covenants, and events of default. These include financial covenants such as total leverage, fixed charge coverage ratio, unsecured leverage ratio, tangible net worth and various other calculations, which are detailed in the specific agreements governing our indebtedness, many of which are exhibits to our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Material Cash Commitments

The Company believes that our current capital structure provides us with the financial flexibility to fund our current capital needs. We incur certain operating expenses in the ordinary course of business, such as real estate taxes, common area maintenance, insurance, general and administrative expenses and capital expenditures related to the maintenance of our properties, which are generally all covered through our cash flow from operations.

In order to continue to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we must meet several organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that we annually distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income. We intend to continue to satisfy this requirement and maintain our REIT status by making annual distributions to our shareholders.

In addition, we intend to pursue growth through the strategic acquisition of attractively priced open-air shopping centers and by remerchandising and redeveloping certain of our existing properties. We may also selectively dispose of properties that have returns and value that have been maximized. The Company believes its anticipated cash flow from operations, cash on hand, Current ATM Program and borrowing capacity under the current credit facility will be adequate to meet all short-term and long-term commitments. The Company's ability to leverage its balance sheet through the sale of properties or the issuance of debt provides the flexibility to take advantage of strategic opportunities which may require additional funding.

Page 42

The Company's other material cash commitments include debt maturities, interest payment obligations, obligations under non-cancelable operating and financing leases, construction commitments, and development obligations.

Mortgages and Notes Payable

See the analysis of our debt included in “Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

Operating and Finance Leases

We have an operating ground lease at Centennial Shops located in Edina, Minnesota. The lease includes rent escalations throughout the lease period and expires in April 2105.

We have an operating lease for our 12,572 square foot corporate office in Southfield, Michigan, and an operating lease for our 5,629 square foot corporate office in New York, New York. These leases are set to expire in December 2024 and January 2024, respectively. Our Southfield, Michigan corporate office lease includes two additional five year renewal options to extend the lease through December 2034 and our New York, New York corporate office lease includes an additional five year renewal to extend the lease through January 2029.

We also have a ground finance lease at our Buttermilk Towne Center with the City of Crescent Springs, Kentucky. The lease provides for fixed annual payments of $0.1 million through maturity in December 2032, at which time we can acquire the land for one dollar.

Construction Costs

In connection with the leasing and targeted remerchandising of various shopping centers as of June 30, 2022, we have entered into agreements for construction activities with an aggregate remaining cost of approximately $5.0 million.

Page 43

Planned Capital Spending

We are focused on enhancing the value of our existing portfolio of shopping centers through successful leasing efforts, including the reconfiguration of anchor-space and small shop lease-up.

For the remainder of 2022, we anticipate spending between $25.0 million and $35.0 million for capital expenditures, of which $5.0 million is reflected in the construction commitments in the material cash commitments table. Our 2022 estimate includes ongoing capital expenditure spending between $17.0 million and $22.0 million and discretionary capital expenditure spending between $8.0 million and $13.0 million. Ongoing capital expenditures relates to leasing costs and building improvements whereas discretionary capital expenditures relate to targeted remerchandising, outlots/expansion, and development/redevelopment. Estimates for future spending will change as new projects are approved.

Capitalization

At June 30, 2022 our total market capitalization was $1.9 billion. The table below reconciles total debt to net debt and sets forth our calculation of our total market capitalization as of June 30, 2022 and 2021:

We believe this calculation is useful to understand our financial condition. Our method of calculating net debt may be different from methods used by other companies and may not be comparable.

At June 30, 2022, the non-controlling interest in the Operating Partnership was approximately 1.9%.  The OP Units outstanding may, under certain circumstances, be exchanged for our common shares of beneficial interest on a one-for-one basis.  We, as sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, have the option, but not the obligation, to settle exchanged OP Units held by others in cash based on the current trading price of our common shares of beneficial interest.  Assuming the exchange of all non-controlling interest OP Units, there would have been approximately 85.8 million common shares of beneficial interest outstanding at June 30, 2022, with a market value of approximately $843.9 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Certain of our key performance indicators are considered non-GAAP financial measures. Management uses these measures along with our GAAP financial statements in order to evaluate our operating results. We believe these additional measures provide users of our financial information additional comparable indicators of our industry, as well as, our performance. However, these measures do not represent alternatives to GAAP measures as indicators of performance and a comparison of the Company's presentations to similarly titled measures of other REITs may not necessarily be meaningful due to possible differences in definitions and application by such REITs.

Funds from Operations

We consider funds from operations, also known as “FFO,” to be an appropriate supplemental measure of the financial performance of an equity REIT. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) is an industry body public REITs participate in and provides guidance to its members. Under the NAREIT definition, FFO represents net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable property and impairment provisions on operating real estate assets or on investments in non-consolidated investees that are driven by measurable decreases in the fair value of operating real estate assets held by the investee, plus depreciation and amortization, (excluding amortization of financing costs). Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect funds from operations on the same basis. We have adopted the NAREIT definition in our computation of FFO.

In addition to FFO, we include Operating FFO as an additional measure of our financial and operating performance. Operating FFO excludes transactions costs and periodic items such as gains (or losses) from sales of non-operating real estate assets and impairment provisions on non-operating real estate assets, bargain purchase gains, severance expense, accelerated amortization of debt premiums, gains or losses on extinguishment of debt, insured proceeds, net, accelerated write-offs of above and below market lease intangibles, accelerated write-offs of lease incentives and bond interest proceeds that are not adjusted under the current NAREIT definition of FFO. We provide a reconciliation of FFO to Operating FFO. In future periods, Operating FFO may also include other adjustments, which will be detailed in the reconciliation for such measure, that we believe will enhance comparability of Operating FFO from period to period. FFO and Operating FFO should not be considered alternatives to GAAP net income available to common shareholders or as alternatives to cash flow as measures of liquidity.

While we consider FFO and Operating FFO useful measures for reviewing our comparative operating and financial performance between periods or to compare our performance to different REITs, our computations of FFO and Operating FFO may differ from the computations utilized by other real estate companies, and therefore, may not be comparable.

We recognize the limitations of FFO and Operating FFO when compared to GAAP net income available to common shareholders. FFO and Operating FFO do not represent amounts available for needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations, or other commitments and uncertainties. In addition, FFO and Operating FFO do not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and are not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs, including the payment of dividends.

(1)Amounts noted are included in (Loss) earnings from unconsolidated joint ventures.
(2)The total noncontrolling interest reflects OP units convertible on a one-for-one basis into common shares. The Company's net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 (largely driven by gain on sale of real estate), resulted in an income allocation to OP Units which drove an OP Unit ratio of $0.45 and $0.66, respectively (based on 1,900 and 1,905 weighted average OP Units outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively). In instances when the OP Unit ratio exceeds basic FFO, the OP Units are considered anti-dilutive, and as a result are not included in the calculation of fully diluted FFO and Operating FFO for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.
(3)7.25% Series D Cumulative Convertible Perpetual Preferred Shares of Beneficial Interest, $0.01 par value per share paid annual dividends of $6.7 million and are currently convertible into approximately 7.0 million common shares. They are dilutive only when earnings or FFO exceed approximately $0.24 per diluted share per quarter and $0.96 per diluted share per year. The conversion ratio is subject to adjustment based upon a number of factors, and such adjustment could affect the dilutive impact of the Series D convertible preferred shares on FFO and earnings per share in future periods. In instances when the Preferred Share ratio exceeds basic FFO, the Preferred Shares are considered anti-dilutive, and as a result are not included in the calculation of fully diluted FFO and Operating FFO for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

NOI, Same Property NOI and NOI from Other Investments

NOI consists of (i) rental income and other property income, before straight-line rental income, amortization of lease inducements, amortization of acquired above and below market lease intangibles and lease termination fees less (ii) real estate taxes and all recoverable and non-recoverable operating expenses other than straight-line ground rent expense, in each case, including our share of these items from our R2G and RGMZ unconsolidated joint ventures.

NOI, Same Property NOI and NOI from Other Investments are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures of real estate companies' operating performance. Same Property NOI is considered by management to be a relevant performance measure of our operations because it includes only the NOI of comparable operating properties for the reporting period. Same Property NOI for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 represents NOI from the Company's same property portfolio consisting of 39 consolidated operating properties and our 51.5% pro-rata share of four properties owned by our R2G unconsolidated joint venture and 100% of the 24 properties owned by our RGMZ unconsolidated joint venture (excludes seven properties that are part of our Marketplace of Delray multi-tenant property where activities have started in preparation for redevelopment). All properties included in Same Property NOI were either acquired or placed in service and stabilized prior to January 1, 2021. We present Same Property NOI primarily to show the percentage change in our NOI from period to period across a consistent pool of properties. The properties contributed to RGMZ had previously been parts of larger shopping centers that we own. Accordingly, 100.0% of the NOI from these properties is included in our results for periods on or prior to March 4, 2021 and, for these prior periods, we had not separately allocated expenses attributable to the larger shopping centers between these properties and the remainder of these shopping centers. As a result, in order to help ensure the comparability of our Same Property NOI for the periods presented, we are continuing to include 100.0% of the NOI from these properties in our Same Property NOI following their contribution even though our pro rata share following March 4, 2021 is only 6.4%. Same Property NOI excludes properties under redevelopment or where activities have started in preparation for redevelopment. A property is designated as a redevelopment when planned improvements significantly impact the property. NOI from Other Investments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 represents pro-rata NOI primarily from (i) properties disposed of and acquired during 2022 and 2021, (ii) Hunter's Square, Marketplace of Delray and The Crossroads (R2G) where the Company has begun activities in anticipation of future redevelopment, (iii) properties held for sale as of June 30, 2022, (iv) certain property related employee compensation, benefits, and travel expense and (v) noncomparable operating income and expense adjustments. Non-RPT NOI from RGMZ represents 93.6% of the properties contributed to RGMZ after March 4, 2021, which is our partners’ share of RGMZ.

NOI, Same Property NOI and NOI from Other Investments should not be considered as alternatives to net income in accordance with GAAP or as measures of liquidity. Our method of calculating these measures may differ from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We have exposure to interest rate risk on our variable rate debt obligations.  Based on market conditions, we may manage our exposure to interest rate risk by entering into interest rate swap agreements to hedge our variable rate debt.  We are not subject to any foreign currency exchange rate risk or commodity price risk, or other material rate or price risks.  Based on our variable rate debt, interest rates and interest rate swap agreements in effect at June 30, 2022, a 100 basis point change in interest rates would impact our future earnings and cash flows by approximately $1.1 million annually.  We believe that a 100 basis point increase in interest rates would decrease the fair value of our total outstanding debt by approximately $23.3 million at June 30, 2022.

We had derivative instruments outstanding with an aggregate notional amount of $310.0 million as of June 30, 2022.  The agreements provided for swapping one-month LIBOR to fixed interest rates ranging from 1.26% to 1.77% and had expirations ranging from 2023 to 2027.  The following table sets forth information as of June 30, 2022 concerning our long-term debt obligations, including principal cash flows by scheduled amortization payment and scheduled maturity, weighted average interest rates of maturing amounts and fair market value:

We estimated the fair value of our fixed rate mortgages using a discounted cash flow analysis, based on borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements with the same remaining maturity.  Considerable judgment is required to develop estimated fair values of financial instruments.  The table incorporates only those exposures that exist at June 30, 2022 and does not consider those exposures or positions which could arise after that date or firm commitments as of such date.  Therefore, the information presented therein has limited predictive value.  Our actual interest rate fluctuations will depend on the exposures that arise during the period and on market interest rates at that time.

In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority announced it intended to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. In March 2021, the ICE Benchmark Administration, the administrator of LIBOR, announced its intention to cease publication of certain LIBOR settings after 2021, while continuing to publish overnight and one-, three-, six-, and twelve-month U.S. dollar LIBOR rates through June 30, 2023. While this announcement extended the transition period to June 2023, the United States Federal Reserve Board and other regulatory bodies concurrently issued guidance encouraging banks and other financial market participants to cease entering into new contracts that use U.S. dollar LIBOR as a reference rate as soon as practicable and in any event no later than December 31, 2021. In the U.S., the AARC, which was convened by the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, has recommended the SOFR plus a recommended spread adjustment as its preferred alternative to USD-LIBOR. There are significant differences between LIBOR and SOFR, such as LIBOR being an unsecured lending rate while SOFR is a secured rate, and SOFR is an overnight rate while LIBOR reflects term rates at different maturities.

We expect that all LIBOR settings relevant to us will cease to be published or will no longer be representative after June 30, 2023. As a result, any of our LIBOR-based borrowings that extend beyond such date will need to be converted to a replacement rate. Certain risks may arise in connection with transitioning contracts to SOFR or any other alternative variable rate, including any resulting value transfer that may occur. The value of loans, securities, or derivative instruments tied to LIBOR could also be impacted. We have material contracts that are indexed to USD-LIBOR, and for some instruments, the method of transitioning to an alternative rate may be challenging, as they may require substantial negotiation with each respective counterparty. If a contract is not transitioned to an alternative variable rate and LIBOR is discontinued, the impact is likely to vary by contract.

Page 49

The discontinuation of LIBOR will not affect our ability to borrow or maintain already outstanding borrowings or swaps, but if our contracts indexed to LIBOR, including certain contracts governing our variable rate debt and our interest rate swaps, are converted to SOFR, the differences between LIBOR and SOFR, plus the recommended spread adjustment, could result in interest costs that are higher than if LIBOR remained available. Additionally, although SOFR is the AARC’s recommended replacement rate, it is also possible that lenders may instead choose alternative replacement rates that may differ from LIBOR in ways similar to SOFR or in ways that would result in higher interest costs for us. It is not yet possible to predict the magnitude of LIBOR’s end on our borrowing costs given the remaining uncertainty about which rates will replace LIBOR.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the  Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, such as this report on Form 10-Q, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the designed control objectives, and therefore management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

We carried out an assessment as of June 30, 2022 of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures.  This assessment was done under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.  Based on such evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of June 30, 2022.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended June 30, 2022, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
