Exchangeable Senior Notes Issuance
Current report
On August 11, 2026, our Operating Partnership issued $460.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.50% Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2031 (the "2031 Notes") in a private placement. The 2031 Notes bear interest at an annual rate of 3.50%, payable semiannually in arrears on February 15th and August 15th of each year, beginning February 15, 2027. The 2031 Notes mature on August 15, 2031, unless earlier exchanged, purchased, or redeemed. Net proceeds after the initial purchaser's discount and offering costs were approximately $450.8 million. Interest expense, including $0.3 million of debt issuance cost amortization, was $2.5 million related to the 2031 Notes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026. Including the debt issuance cost amortization, the current effective interest rate on the 2031 Notes is approximately 4.0%. The unamortized debt issuance costs related to the 2031 Notes were $9.0 million at September 30, 2026.
Current report
A portion of the proceeds from the 2031 Notes was used to enter into privately negotiated capped call transactions with certain financial institutions. The capped call premium of $21.7 million is recorded in shareholders' equity for the Trust and capital for the Partnership. The capped call transactions cover, subject to customary adjustments, the number of our common shares that initially underlie the 2031 Notes, and are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to our common shares upon exchange of any 2031 Notes and/or offset any cash payments we are required to make in excess of the principal amount of the 2031 Notes, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap.
Current report
See Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information, including the exchange, redemption, and capped call terms for the 2031 Notes.
Current report
Equity Transactions
Current report
We have an at-the-market ("ATM") equity program under which we may from time to time offer and sell common shares up to an aggregate offering price of $750.0 million. Our ATM program also allows shares to be sold through forward sales contracts. We intend to use the net proceeds to fund potential acquisition opportunities, fund our development and redevelopment pipeline, repay indebtedness and/or for general corporate purposes.
Current report
During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we issued 493,374 common shares under the ATM program at a weighted average price per share of $123.92 for net cash proceeds of $60.3 million including paying $0.6 million in commissions and $0.2 million in additional offering expenses related to the sales of these common shares. We have the remaining capacity to issue up to $688.9 million in common shares under our ATM equity program as of September 30, 2026.
Current report
On April 10, 2025, we announced that our Board of Trustees had approved the repurchase of up to $300.0 million of our outstanding common shares.

Significant uncertainty continues within the macro-economic and political environment including inflation risk, changes in interest rates, geopolitical instability, changes in tariffs and their impact on trade and prices, increases or decreases in federal and state government spending, and potentially worsening economic conditions, which presents risks for our business and tenants. We continue to monitor and address risks related to the general state of the economy. We believe the actions we have taken to maintain a strong financial position and reinforce our liquidity will continue to mitigate the negative short term impacts of the current environment. The extent of the future effects on our business, results of operations, cash flows, and growth strategies is highly uncertain and will ultimately depend on future developments, none of which can be predicted.

Previous wording
Our comparable property growth is primarily driven by increases in rental rates on new leases and lease renewals, changes in portfolio occupancy, and the redevelopment of those assets. Over the long-term, the infill nature and strong demographics of our properties provide a strategic advantage allowing us to maintain relatively high occupancy and generally increase rental rates. We continue to experience strong demand for our commercial space as evidenced by the 2.8 million square feet of comparable space leasing we've completed in the last twelve months, and the 2.3% spread between our leased rate of 96.1% and our occupied rate of 93.8%. However, the effects of inflationary pressures and elevated interest rates continue to negatively impact our business with the largest impacts being higher interest costs, increased material costs, and higher operating costs. Additionally, significant impacts from tariffs or supply chain disruptions could also result in extended time frames and/or increased costs for completion of our projects and tenant build-outs, which could delay the commencement of rent payments under new leases. Similarly, if our tenants experience unexpected impacts of tariffs supporting their own products, staffing issues due to labor shortages, significant disruptions in supply chains, or are otherwise impacted by worsening economic conditions, their ability to pay rent may be adversely affected. We continue to monitor these macroeconomic developments and are working with our tenants and our vendors to limit the overall impact to our business.

We believe the locations and nature of our centers and diverse tenant base partially mitigates any potential negative changes in the economic environment. However, any significant reduction in our tenants' abilities to pay base rent, percentage rent or other charges, will adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. We seek to maintain a mix of strong national, regional, and local retailers.

At June 30, 2026, the leasable commercial square feet in our properties was 96.1% leased and 93.8% occupied. The leased rate is higher than the occupied rate due to leased spaces that are being redeveloped or improved or that are awaiting permits and, therefore, are not yet ready to be occupied. Our occupancy and leased rates are subject to variability over time due to factors including acquisitions, the timing of the start and stabilization of our redevelopment projects, lease expirations and tenant closings and bankruptcies.

Previous wording
The rental increases associated with comparable spaces generally include all leases signed for retail space in arms-length transactions reflecting market leverage between landlords and tenants during the period, excluding leases at properties sold or under contract to be sold. The comparison between the rent for expiring leases and new leases is determined by including contractual rent on the expiring lease, including percentage rent considered to part of base rent, and the comparable annual rent and in some instances, projections of percentage rent, to be paid on the new lease. In atypical circumstances, management may exercise judgment as to how to most effectively reflect the comparability of spaces reported in this calculation. The change in rental income on comparable space leases is impacted by numerous factors including current market rates, location, individual tenant creditworthiness, use of space, market conditions when the expiring lease was signed, capital investment made in the space and the specific lease structure. Tenant improvements and incentives include the total dollars committed for the improvement (fit out) of a space as it relates to a specific lease. Incentives include amounts paid to tenants as an inducement to sign a lease that do not represent building improvements. Costs related to tenant improvements require judgment by management in determining what are costs specific to the tenant and not deferred maintenance on the space.

The rental increases associated with comparable spaces generally include all leases signed for retail space in arm's-length transactions reflecting market leverage between landlords and tenants during the period, excluding leases at properties sold or under contract to be sold. The comparison between the rent for expiring leases and new leases is determined by including contractual rent on the expiring lease, including percentage rent considered to be part of base rent, and the comparable annual rent and in some instances, projections of percentage rent, to be paid on the new lease. In atypical circumstances, management may exercise judgment as to how to most effectively reflect the comparability of spaces reported in this calculation. The change in rental income on comparable space leases is impacted by numerous factors including current market rates, location, individual tenant creditworthiness, use of space, market conditions when the expiring lease was signed, capital investment made in the space and the specific lease structure. Tenant improvements and incentives include the total dollars committed for the improvement (fit out) of a space as it relates to a specific lease. Incentives include amounts paid to tenants as an inducement to sign a lease that do not represent building improvements. Costs related to tenant improvements require judgment by management in determining what are costs specific to the tenant and not deferred maintenance on the space.
Previous wording
In the past four years, we have executed comparable space leases for 2.0 to 2.4 million square feet of retail space each year and expect the volume in 2026 will be in line with these historical averages. Although we expect overall positive increases in annual rent for comparable spaces, changes in annual rent for any individual lease or combinations of individual leases reported in any particular period may be positive or negative and we can provide no assurance that the annual rents on comparable space leases will continue to increase at historical levels, if at all. A decline in current economic conditions could adversely impact our volume of leasing activity and the amount of rent we are able to charge to new or renewing tenants.

Throughout this section, we have provided certain information on a “comparable property” basis. Information provided on a comparable property basis includes the results of properties that we owned and operated for the entirety of both periods being compared except for properties that are currently under development or are being repositioned for significant redevelopment and investment. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, all or a portion of 96 properties and 95 properties, respectively, were considered comparable properties and seven properties were considered non-comparable properties. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, two properties and two portions of properties were removed from comparable properties, as they were sold; all compared to the designations as of December 31, 2025. While there is judgment surrounding changes in designations, we typically move non-comparable properties to comparable properties once they have stabilized, which is typically considered 90% physical occupancy or when the growth expected from the redevelopment has been included in the comparable periods. We typically remove properties from comparable properties when the repositioning of the asset has commenced and has or is expected to have a significant impact on property operating income within the calendar year. Acquisitions are moved to comparable properties once we have owned the property for the entirety of comparable periods and the property is not under development or being repositioned for significant redevelopment and investment.
