Current report
•the effects of uncertain and evolving tariff activity and changes in global trade policies on the overall state of the economy and on our business, including the impact on our tenants' business, operations and ability to pay rent.
Current report
We maintain insurance coverage with third-party carriers for a portion of our potential losses, including property damage and general liability risks. We also self-insure a portion of our risk exposure, including deductibles under certain commercial insurance policies and a layer of our general liability risk, through our wholly owned captive insurance company. To the extent our captive insurance company is unable to fund claims or otherwise satisfy its obligations, we may be required to contribute additional capital to the captive or bear the losses directly, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
Current report
In addition, the availability and cost of property and casualty insurance, including general liability coverage, may be adversely affected by market conditions, large loss events, or perceived risks associated with terrorism or other catastrophic events, which could further increase our insurance costs or limit coverage availability.
Current report
There is an increase in the use of AI Technologies by us and our third-party providers. This introduces additional risks, including data privacy concerns, model inaccuracies, unintended bias, intellectual property exposure, and vulnerabilities that could be exploited by malicious actors. If we or our third-party providers fail to appropriately govern the use of AI Technologies, we may face operational, legal, ethical, or reputational risks. In addition, there can be no assurance that our or third-party providers' investments in AI Technologies will in fact provide the desired business support.
Current report
In connection with running our business, we receive, store, use and otherwise process information that relates to individuals, and we are therefore subject to laws, regulations and other requirements relating to the privacy, security and handling of personal information. The application and interpretation of such requirements are constantly evolving and are subject to change, creating a complex compliance environment. In some cases, these requirements may be either unclear in their interpretation and application or they may have inconsistent or conflicting requirements with each other. Further, there has been a substantial increase in legislative activity and regulatory focus on data privacy and security, including in relation to cybersecurity incidents.
Removed paragraphs (3)
Previous report
We maintain insurance coverage with third-party carriers who provide a portion of the coverage of potential losses, including wind, flood, named windstorm, earthquake, fire, and other property-related perils. We currently self-insure a portion of our commercial insurance deductible risk through our captive insurance company. To the extent that our captive insurance company is unable to bear that risk, we may be required to fund additional capital to our captive insurance company or we may be required to bear that loss. Further, there are losses we may incur that cannot be insured against or that we believe are not economically reasonable to insure. Should an uninsured loss occur, we could lose all or a portion of the capital we have invested in a property, as well as the anticipated future cash flow from the property.
Previous report
In addition, insurance risks associated with potential terrorist acts could sharply increase the premiums we pay for coverage against property and casualty claims.
Reworded paragraphs (19)
Previous wording
An economic downturn could have an adverse impact on the retail industry generally. Rising inflation could also adversely impact consumer behavior and increase our and our tenants' operating costs. As a result, the retail industry could face further reductions in sales revenues and increased bankruptcies. Adverse economic conditions may result in an increase in distressed or bankrupt retail companies, which in turn would result in an increase in defaults by tenants at our commercial properties. Such conditions may also affect shadow-anchor retailers in some of our centers, which we cannot control. Although we do not generate revenue from shadow-anchor retailers, their presence drives traffic to some of our centers. Additionally, continued slow or negative economic growth could hinder new entrants into the retail market, which may make it difficult for us to fully lease our real properties. Tenant defaults and decreased demand for retail space would have an adverse impact on the value of our retail properties and our results of operations.

Previous wording
As of December 31, 2024, approximately 38.5% of the total annualized base rental income in our retail portfolio was generated by properties located in Texas, with 16.1%, 10.2%, 9.0%, and 3.2% of our total annualized base rental income generated by properties in Austin, Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, and San Antonio metropolitan areas, respectively. An oversupply of retail properties without corresponding increases in demand or an economic downturn in some of these markets could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, our results of operations and our ability to pay distributions.
Current wording
As of December 31, 2025, approximately 37.7% of the total annualized base rental income in our retail portfolio was generated by properties located in Texas, with 15.4%, 9.7%, 8.5%, and 4.1% of our total annualized base rental income generated by properties in Austin, Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, and San Antonio metropolitan areas, respectively. An oversupply of retail properties without corresponding increases in demand or an economic downturn in some of these markets could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, our results of operations and our ability to pay distributions.
Previous wording
As of December 31, 2024, approximately 58.4% of our total annualized base rental income is generated by our small shop tenants. Our small shop tenants may be more vulnerable to negative economic conditions as they generally have more limited resources than our anchor tenants. If a significant number of our small shop tenants experience financial difficulties or are unable to remain open, our cash flow, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
Current wording
As of December 31, 2025, approximately 60.6% of our total annualized base rental income is generated by our small shop tenants. Our small shop tenants may be more vulnerable to negative economic conditions as they generally have more limited resources than our anchor tenants. If a significant number of our small shop tenants experience financial difficulties or are unable to remain open, our cash flow, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
Previous wording
As of December 31, 2024, economic occupancy and leased occupancy of our retail portfolio was 95.3% and 97.4%, respectively. Additionally, as of December 31, 2024, leases representing approximately 6.6% and 9.5% of our total expiring GLA and $12.5 million and $24.2 million of our total expiring ABR were scheduled to expire in 2025 and 2026, respectively. We cannot assure our stockholders that leases will be renewed or that our properties will be re-leased on terms equal to or better than the current terms, or at all. We also may not be able to lease space which is currently not occupied on acceptable terms and conditions, if at all. In addition, some of our tenants have leases that include early termination provisions that permit the lessee to terminate all or a portion of its lease with us after a specified date or upon the occurrence of certain events with little or no liability to us. We may be required to offer substantial rent abatements, tenant improvements, early termination rights or below-market renewal options to retain these tenants or attract new ones. Portions of our assets may remain vacant for extended periods of time. If the rental rates for our assets decrease, our existing tenants do not renew their leases or we do not re-lease a significant portion of our available space and space for which leases will expire, our financial condition, cash flows and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Previous wording
Natural disasters and severe weather such as hurricanes, wildfires, earthquakes, mudslides, droughts, tornadoes, blizzards, hailstorms or floods may result in significant damage to our properties, decrease demand for certain properties, disrupt operations at our properties, increase the costs associated with maintaining or insuring our properties, and adversely affect both the value of our properties and the ability of our tenants and operators to make their scheduled rent payments to us. The extent of our casualty losses and loss in operating income in connection with such events is a function of the severity of the event and the total amount of exposure in the affected area. These losses may not be insured or insurable at commercially reasonable rates. When we have a geographic concentration, a single catastrophe or destructive weather event affecting a region may have a significant negative effect on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. As a result, our operating and financial results may vary significantly from one period to the next. We also are exposed to the risk of an increased need for the maintenance and repair of our buildings due to inclement or extreme weather.

Previous wording
Increases in interest rates would increase our interest expense on any variable rate debt, as well as any debt that must be refinanced at higher interest rates at the time of maturity. Our future earnings and cash flows could be adversely affected due to the increased requirement to service our debt and could reduce the amount we are able to distribute to our stockholders.

Previous wording
Catastrophic losses, including, but not limited to, hurricanes, wildfires, windstorms, earthquakes, floods, and foreign terrorist activities may not be insurable or may not be economically insurable. Even when insurable, these policies may have high deductibles and/or high premiums. Lenders may require such insurance. Our failure to obtain such insurance could constitute a default under loan agreements, and/or our lenders may force us to obtain such insurance at unfavorable rates, which could materially and adversely affect our profitability.
Current wording
Certain risks, including catastrophic events such as hurricanes, severe freezes and winter storms, wildfires, windstorms, earthquakes, floods, and acts of terrorism, may not be insurable or may not be economically reasonable to insure. Even when such risks are insurable, insurance policies may be subject to significant deductibles, coverage limitations, exclusions, or high premiums. In addition, claims related to general liability or other casualty exposures may exceed policy limits or amounts retained through self-insurance. Our failure to obtain such insurance could constitute a default under loan agreements, and/or our lenders may force us to obtain such insurance at unfavorable rates, which could materially and adversely affect our profitability.
Previous wording
In the event of a substantial loss, our insurance coverage may not be sufficient to cover the full current market value or replacement cost of our lost investment. Should an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insured limits occur, we could lose all or a portion of the capital we have invested in an asset, as well as the anticipated future cash flows from the asset. In that event, we might nevertheless remain obligated for any mortgage debt or other financial obligations related to the asset. Inflation, changes in building codes and ordinances, environmental considerations and other factors might require us to come out of pocket to replace or renovate an asset after it has been damaged or destroyed. Under those circumstances, the insurance proceeds we receive might be inadequate to restore our economic position on the damaged or destroyed property, which could materially and adversely affect our profitability.
Current wording
In the event of a substantial loss or liability claim, our insurance coverage, including coverage provided through our captive insurance company, may be insufficient to cover the full current market value, replacement cost, or liability exposure associated with the property. If an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insured limits occurs, we could lose all or a portion of the capital invested in a property and the anticipated future cash flows from that property, while remaining obligated to satisfy any related mortgage debt or other financial obligations. Inflation, changes in building codes or ordinances, environmental considerations, and other factors could require us to incur significant out-of-pocket costs to repair, replace, or remediate an asset following a loss. Under these circumstances, insurance proceeds, if any, may be inadequate to restore our economic position, which could materially and adversely affect our profitability.
Previous wording
Under various federal, state, and local laws, an owner or manager of real property may be liable for the costs to assess and remediate the presence of hazardous substances on the property, which in our case generally arise from former dry cleaners, gas stations, asbestos usage, storage tanks, air emissions from emergency generators, storm water and wastewater discharges, lead-based paint, mold and mildew, waste management, and historic land use practices. These laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of hazardous substances. The presence of, or the failure to properly address the presence of, hazardous substances may adversely affect our ability to sell or lease the property or borrow using the property as collateral. We can provide no assurance that we are aware of all potential environmental liabilities or their ultimate cost to address; that our properties will not be affected by tenants or nearby properties or other unrelated third parties; and that future uses or conditions, or changes in environmental laws and regulations, or their interpretation, will not result in additional material environmental liabilities to us.

The general trend is for environmental laws to become more stringent over time, including the identification of additional hazardous substances; for example, there has recently been significant attention from various policymakers on regulating per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, which have been used in firefighting and other materials.
Previous wording
Moreover, compliance with ESG-related laws, regulations, expectations or reporting requirements may result in increased compliance costs, as well as additional scrutiny that could heighten all of the risks associated with environmental, social and sustainability matters. If we fail to comply with new laws, regulations, expectations or reporting requirements, or if we are perceived as failing, our reputation and business could be adversely impacted. The occurrence of any of the foregoing could have an adverse effect on the price of the Company's stock and the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations, including increased development costs, capital expenditures and operating expenses.
Current wording
Moreover, compliance with environmental, social and governance ("ESG") related laws, regulations, expectations or reporting requirements may result in increased compliance costs, as well as additional scrutiny that could heighten all of the risks associated with environmental, social and sustainability matters. If we fail to comply with new laws, regulations, expectations or reporting requirements, or if we are perceived as failing, our reputation and business could be adversely impacted. The occurrence of any of the foregoing could have an adverse effect on the price of the Company's stock and the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations, including increased development costs, capital expenditures and operating expenses.
Previous wording
There is continued scrutiny on companies’ management of climate change, human capital, and other environmental, social and governance factors. Although the Company makes ESG disclosures and undertakes ESG initiatives, such initiatives are costly and there is no assurance they will have the desired effects. For example, we may not be able to ultimately achieve certain of our goals or initiatives due to cost, technology, or other factors which may or may not be within our control. Additionally, many of these matters rely on methodologies and data that continue to evolve, and we cannot guarantee that any changes to our approach will align with any stakeholder expectations or preferences. Stakeholders expectations are not uniform, and both advocates for and opponents of ESG initiatives are increasingly resorting to a range of activism forms to achieve their goals. Some policymakers have also adopted, or are considering adopting requirements related to ESG matters, but such requirements are not uniform, which may increase costs or complexity for compliance, as well as related risk.

Previous wording
If we or our third-party providers fail to protect confidential information and/or experience cyber-attacks, security problems, or other disruptions, there may be damage to our brand and reputation, financial penalties, and legal liability, which could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Current wording
If we or our third-party providers fail to protect our information technology systems or confidential information and/or experience cyber-attacks, security problems, or other disruptions, there may be damage to our brand and reputation, financial penalties, and legal liability, which could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Previous wording
A cyber incident is considered to be any adverse event that threatens the confidentiality, integrity or availability of our computer systems, hardware, software, technology infrastructure and online sites and networks for both internal and external operations that are critical to our business (collectively, "IT systems"). More specifically, a cyber incident is an intentional attack or an unintentional event that can include an intruder gaining unauthorized access to systems to disrupt operations, corrupt data or steal confidential information and threats from diverse threat actors, such as state-sponsored organizations, opportunistic hackers and hacktivists, as well as through diverse attack vendors, such as social engineering/phishing, malware (including ransomware), malfeasance by insiders, human or technological error, and as a result of bugs, misconfigurations or exploited vulnerabilities in software or hardware. As our reliance on technology has increased, so have the risks posed to our systems, both internal and those we have outsourced.
Current wording
We face numerous and evolving cybersecurity risks that threaten the confidentiality, integrity and availability of our IT Systems and Confidential Information, including an intruder gaining unauthorized access to systems to disrupt operations, corrupt data or steal Confidential Information and threats from diverse threat actors, such as state-sponsored organizations, opportunistic hackers and hacktivists, as well as through diverse attack vendors, such as social engineering/phishing, malware (including ransomware), malfeasance by insiders, human or technological error, and as a result of bugs, misconfigurations or exploited vulnerabilities in software or hardware. As our reliance on technology has increased, so have the risks posed to our Confidential Information and IT Systems, both internal and those we have outsourced.
Previous wording
We and certain of our third-party providers collect, maintain and process data about customers, employees, business partners and others, including personally identifiable information, as well as proprietary information belonging to our business such as trade secrets (collectively, "Confidential Information"). There can be no assurance that our security efforts and measures will be effective or that attempted security breaches would not be successful or damaging. While we maintain some of these IT Systems, we also depend on third parties to provide important IT Systems relating to several key business functions. Furthermore, the security measures employed by third-party service providers may prove to be ineffective at preventing breaches of their systems. Moreover, cyber incidents perpetrated against our tenants, including unauthorized access to customers' credit card data and other confidential information, could diminish consumer confidence and consumer spending and negatively impact our business and reputation. Additionally, any integration of artificial intelligence ("AI"), machine learning and automated decision-making technologies (collectively, "AI Technologies") in our or any service providers' operations, products or services is expected to pose new or unknown cybersecurity risks and challenges.

Previous wording
Cyberattacks are expected to accelerate on a global basis in frequency and magnitude as threat actors are becoming increasingly sophisticated in using techniques and tools - including, with increased frequency, generative and other AI Technologies - that circumvent security controls, evade detection and remove forensic evidence. As a result, we, or our tenants, may be unable to detect, investigate, remediate or recover from future attacks or incidents, or to avoid a material adverse impact to our IT Systems, confidential information or business. Any adverse impact to the availability, integrity or confidentiality of our IT Systems can result in legal claims or proceedings (such as class actions), regulatory investigations and enforcement actions, fines and penalties, operational interruption, damage to our relationships with our tenants or damage to our tenants' relationships with their customers, as applicable, and private data exposure. Our and our tenants' financial results and reputation may be negatively impacted by such an incident.

In connection with running our business, we receive, store, use and otherwise process information that relates to individuals, and we are therefore subject to laws, regulations and other requirements relating to the privacy, security and handling of personal information. It is possible that new laws, regulations and other requirements, or amendments to or changes in interpretations of existing laws, regulations and other requirements, may require us to incur costs, implement new processes, or change our handling of information and business operations. In addition, any failure or perceived failure by us to comply with laws, regulations and other requirements relating to the privacy, security and handling of information could result in legal claims or proceedings (including class actions), regulatory investigations or enforcement actions. Any such proceedings and subsequent adverse outcomes may subject us to significant negative publicity and an erosion of trust. If any of these events were to occur, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

In addition, the regulatory framework for AI Technologies is rapidly evolving as many federal, state and foreign government bodies and agencies have introduced or are currently considering additional laws and regulations. Existing laws and regulations may be interpreted in ways that would affect our use of AI Technologies, or could be rescinded or amended as new administrations take differing approaches to evolving AI Technologies. As a result, implementation standards and enforcement practices are likely to remain uncertain for the foreseeable future, and we cannot yet completely determine the impact future laws, regulations, standards, or market perception of their requirements may have on our business and may not always be able to anticipate how to respond to these laws or regulations. Any such changes at the federal level could require us to expend significant resources to modify our products, services, or operations to ensure compliance or remain competitive.
