EXPLANATORY NOTE

This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 of CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. and CBL & Associates Limited Partnership. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to the "Company" mean CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. and its subsidiaries. References to the "Operating Partnership" mean CBL & Associates Limited Partnership and its subsidiaries. The terms "we", "us" and "our" refer to the Company or the Company and the Operating Partnership collectively, as the context requires.

The Company is a real estate investment trust ("REIT") whose stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange. The Company is the 100% owner of two qualified REIT subsidiaries, CBL Holdings I, Inc. and CBL Holdings II, Inc. At September 30, 2013, CBL Holdings, I, Inc., the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, owned a 1.0% general partner interest in the Operating Partnership and CBL Holdings II, Inc. owned an 84.2% limited partner interest for a combined interest held by the Company of 85.2%.

As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Company's subsidiary, CBL Holdings I, Inc., has exclusive control of the Operating Partnership's activities. Management operates the Company and the Operating Partnership as one business. The management of the Company consists of the same individuals that manage the Operating Partnership. The Company's only material asset is its indirect ownership of partnership interests of the Operating Partnership. As a result, the Company conducts substantially all its business through the Operating Partnership as described in the preceding paragraph. The Company also issues public equity from time to time and guarantees certain debt of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership holds all of the assets and indebtedness of the Company and, through affiliates, retains the ownership interests in the Company's joint ventures. Except for the net proceeds of offerings of equity by the Company, which are contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for partnership units on a one-for-one basis, the Operating Partnership generates all remaining capital required by the Company's business through its operations and its incurrence of indebtedness.

We believe that combining the two quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the Company and the Operating Partnership provides the following benefits:


•	enhances investors' understanding of the Company and the Operating Partnership by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner that management views and operates the business;


•	eliminates duplicative disclosure and provides a more streamlined and readable presentation, since a substantial portion of the disclosure applies to both the Company and the Operating Partnership; and


•	creates time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.

To help investors understand the differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership, this report provides separate condensed consolidated financial statements for the Company and the Operating Partnership. Noncontrolling interests, shareholders' equity and partners' capital are the main areas of difference between the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and those of the Operating Partnership. A single set of notes to condensed consolidated financial statements is presented that includes separate discussions for the Company and the Operating Partnership, when applicable. A combined Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section is also included that presents combined information and discrete information related to each entity, as applicable.

In order to highlight the differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership, this report includes the following sections that provide separate financial information for the Company and the Operating Partnership:


•	condensed consolidated financial statements;


•	certain accompanying notes to condensed consolidated financial statements, including Note 5 - Unconsolidated Affiliates, Redeemable Interests, Noncontrolling Interests and Cost Method Investments; Note 7 - Comprehensive Income; and Note 11 - Earnings Per Share and Earnings Per Unit;


•	controls and procedures in Item 4 of Management's Discussion and Analysis; and


•	certifications of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer included as Exhibits 31.1 through 32.4.

CBL & Associates Limited Partnership

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Dollars in thousands, except share and unit data)

Note 1 – Organization and Basis of Presentation

CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, is a self-managed, self-administered, fully-integrated real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that is engaged in the ownership, development, acquisition, leasing, management and operation of regional shopping malls, open-air centers, outlet centers, associated centers, community centers and office properties. Its properties are located in 27 states, but are primarily in the southeastern and midwestern United States.

The Company conducts substantially all of its business through CBL & Associates Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”). As of September 30, 2013, the Operating Partnership owned controlling interests in 75 regional malls/open-air and outlet centers (including one mixed-use center), 25 associated centers (each located adjacent to a regional mall), seven community centers and eight office buildings, including the Company’s corporate office building. The Operating Partnership consolidates the financial statements of all entities in which it has a controlling financial interest or where it is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity ("VIE"). At September 30, 2013, the Operating Partnership owned noncontrolling interests in nine regional malls/open-air centers, four associated centers, four community centers and five office buildings. Because one or more of the other partners have substantive participating rights, the Operating Partnership does not control these partnerships and joint ventures and, accordingly, accounts for these investments using the equity method. The Operating Partnership had controlling interests in one outlet center development, three mall expansions and two mall redevelopments at September 30, 2013. The Operating Partnership had a noncontrolling interest in one community center development at September 30, 2013. The Operating Partnership also holds options to acquire certain development properties owned by third parties.

The Company is the 100% owner of two qualified REIT subsidiaries, CBL Holdings I, Inc. and CBL Holdings II, Inc. At September 30, 2013, CBL Holdings I, Inc., the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, owned a 1.0% general partner interest in the Operating Partnership and CBL Holdings II, Inc. owned an 84.2% limited partner interest for a combined interest held by CBL of 85.2%.

The noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership is held by CBL & Associates, Inc., its shareholders and affiliates and certain senior officers of the Company (collectively "CBL's Predecessor"), all of which contributed their interests in certain real estate properties and joint ventures to the Operating Partnership in exchange for a limited partner interest when the Operating Partnership was formed in November 1993, and by various third parties. At September 30, 2013, CBL’s Predecessor owned a 9.1% limited partner interest and third parties owned a 5.7% limited partner interest in the Operating Partnership. CBL's Predecessor also owned 3.2 million shares of the Company’s common stock at September 30, 2013, for a total combined effective interest of 10.7% in the Operating Partnership.

The Operating Partnership conducts the Company’s property management and development activities through its wholly-owned subsidiary, CBL & Associates Management, Inc. (the “Management Company”), to comply with certain requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”).

As used herein, the term "Company" includes CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including CBL & Associates Limited Partnership and its subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise. The term "Operating Partnership" refers to CBL & Associates Limited Partnership and its subsidiaries.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited; however, they have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring matters) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements for these interim periods have been included. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The results for the interim period ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for the full fiscal year.

Certain historical amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation. The financial results of certain properties that had been classified in continuing operations have been reclassified to discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated financial statements for all periods presented herein. Except where noted, the information presented in the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements excludes discontinued operations.

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, excluding items 6, 7, 8,9A, 15(a)(1) and (2) and 15(c) of such report, which have been updated in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on September 16, 2013.

Note 2 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Guidance Adopted

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income ("ASU 2013-02"). The objective of ASU 2013-02 is to improve reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") by presenting information about such reclassifications and their corresponding effect on net income primarily in one place, either on the face of the financial statements or in the notes. ASU 2013-02 requires an entity to disclose information by component for significant amounts reclassified out of AOCI if the amounts reclassified are required to be reclassified under GAAP to net income in their entirety in the same reporting period. For amounts not required under GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional details about those amounts. For public companies, this guidance was effective on a prospective basis for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2012. ASU 2013-02 did not change the calculation of or amounts reported as net income and comprehensive income but did change the presentation of the components of AOCI reported in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-10, Inclusion of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (or Overnight Index Swap Rate) as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes ("ASU 2013-10"). ASU 2013-10 permits the Overnight Index Swap ("OIS") Rate, also referred to as the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate, to be used as a U.S. benchmark for hedge accounting purposes, in addition to London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") and interest rates on direct U.S. Treasury obligations. The guidance also removes the restriction on using different benchmarks for similar hedges. ASU 2013-10 is effective prospectively for qualifying new or redesignated hedges entered into on or after July 17, 2013. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Effective

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-04, Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date ("ASU 2013-04"). ASU 2013-04 addresses the diversity in practice related to the recognition, measurement and disclosure of certain obligations which are not addressed within existing GAAP guidance. Such obligations under the scope of ASU 2013-04 include debt arrangements, other contractual obligations, settled litigation and judicial rulings. The guidance requires an entity to measure these joint and several obligations as the sum of the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors as well as any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. ASU 2013-04 also requires an entity to disclose information about the nature and amount of these obligations. For public companies, ASU 2013-04 is effective on a retrospective basis for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The Company may elect to use hindsight for the comparative periods (if the Company changes its accounting as a result of the adoption of this guidance). Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact that this update may have on its consolidated financial statements.

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists ("ASU 2013-11"). The objective of this update is to reduce the diversity in practice related to the presentation of certain unrecognized tax benefits. ASU 2013-11 provides that unrecognized tax benefits are to be presented as a reduction of a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss ("NOL") carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward when settlement in this manner is available under the governing tax law. To the extent such an NOL carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the governing tax law to settle taxes that would result from the disallowance of the tax position or the entity does not intend to use the deferred tax asset for this purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit is to be recorded as a liability in the financial statements and should not be netted with a deferred tax asset. ASU 2013-11 is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013 and interim periods within those years. The guidance should be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date. Early adoption and retrospective application are permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact that this update may have on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 3 – Fair Value Measurements

The Company has categorized its financial assets and financial liabilities that are recorded at fair value into a hierarchy in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure, ("ASC 820") based on whether the inputs to valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. The fair value hierarchy contains three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value as follows:

Level 1 – Inputs represent quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities as of the measurement date.

Level 2 – Inputs, other than those included in Level 1, represent observable measurements for similar instruments in active markets, or identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and observable measurements or market data for instruments with substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 – Inputs represent unobservable measurements, supported by little, if any, market activity, and require considerable assumptions that are significant to the fair value of the asset or liability. Market valuations must often be determined using discounted cash flow methodologies, pricing models or similar techniques based on the Company’s assumptions and best judgment.

The asset or liability's fair value within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Under ASC 820, fair value measurements are determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability in an orderly transaction at the measurement date. Valuation techniques used maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and consider assumptions such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance.

Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis

The following tables set forth information regarding the Company’s financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012:



			Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using

The Company recognizes transfers in and out of every level at the end of each reporting period. There were no transfers between Levels 1, 2, or 3 for any periods presented.

Intangible lease assets and other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets include marketable securities consisting of corporate equity securities and bonds that are classified as available-for-sale. Net unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities that are deemed to be temporary in nature are recorded as a component of AOCI in redeemable noncontrolling interests, shareholders’ equity and partners' capital, and noncontrolling interests. If a decline in the value of an investment is deemed to be other than temporary, the investment is written down to fair value and an impairment loss is recognized in the current period to the extent of the decline in value. During the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company did not record any write-downs related to other-than-temporary impairments. During the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013, the Company did not recognize any realized gains or losses related to sales of marketable securities. The Company did not recognize any realized gains or losses related to sales of marketable securities during the three month period ended September 30, 2012. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2012, the Company recognized realized gains of $160 related to sales of marketable securities. The fair values of the Company’s available-for-sale securities are based on quoted market prices and are classified under Level 1. Tax increment financing bonds ("TIF bonds"), which were classified as Level 3 as of December 31, 2012, were redeemed in January 2013.

The following is a summary of the available-for-sale securities held by the Company as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012:



			Gross Unrealized
	Adjusted Cost		Gains		Losses		Fair Value
September 30, 2013:
Common stocks	$	4,195	$	10,361	$	—	$	14,556



			Gross Unrealized
	Adjusted Cost		Gains		Losses		Fair Value
December 31, 2012:
Common stocks	$	4,195	$	12,361	$	—	$	16,556
Government and government-sponsored entities	11,123		—		—		11,123
	$	15,318	$	12,361	$	—	$	27,679

The Company uses interest rate swaps and caps to mitigate the effect of interest rate movements on its variable-rate debt. The Company had four interest rate swaps and one interest rate cap as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, that qualify as hedging instruments and are designated as cash flow hedges. The interest rate cap is included in intangible lease assets and other assets and the interest rate swaps are reflected in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The swaps and cap have predominantly met the effectiveness test criteria since inception and changes in their fair values are, thus, primarily reported in other comprehensive income (loss) ("OCI/L") and are reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged items affect earnings. The fair values of the Company’s interest rate hedges, classified under Level 2, are determined based on prevailing market data for contracts with matching durations, current and anticipated LIBOR information, consideration of the Company’s credit standing, credit risk of the counterparties and reasonable estimates about relevant future market conditions. See Note 6 for further information regarding the Company’s interest rate hedging instruments.

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are reasonable estimates of their fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments. Based on the interest rates for similar financial instruments, the carrying value of mortgage and other notes receivable is a reasonable estimate of fair value. The estimated fair value of mortgage and other indebtedness was $5,069,679 and $5,058,411 at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The fair value was calculated using Level 2 inputs by discounting future cash flows for mortgage and other indebtedness using estimated market rates at which similar loans would be made currently. The carrying amount of mortgage and other indebtedness was $4,867,717 and $4,745,683 at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

Prior to February 2013, the Company held TIF bonds, which had a 2028 maturity date and were received in a private placement as consideration for infrastructure improvements made by the Company related to the development of a community center. The Company had the intent and ability to hold the TIF bonds through the recovery period. The Company adjusted the bonds to their net realizable value as of December 31, 2012 and they were redeemed in January 2013. Due to the significant unobservable estimates and assumptions used in the valuation of the TIF bonds, such as the forecasted growth in sales and lack of marketability discount, the Company had classified the TIF bonds under Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The following

table provides a reconciliation of changes between the beginning and ending balances of the TIF bonds (Level 3):



	Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013			Year Ended December 31, 2012

(1)	The TIF bonds were adjusted to their net realizable value as of December 31, 2012 and were redeemed in January 2013. The difference in estimate was recorded as a transfer to real estate assets.

Prior to May 2013, the Company held a secured convertible promissory note from Jinsheng Group (“Jinsheng”), in which the Company also holds a cost-method investment. The secured convertible note was non-interest bearing and secured by shares of Jinsheng. Since the secured convertible note was non-interest bearing and there was no active market for Jinsheng’s debt, the Company performed a probability-weighted discounted cash flow analysis for its valuation as of December 31, 2012 using various sale, redemption and initial public offering ("IPO") exit strategies. The fair value analysis as of December 31, 2012 forecasted a 0% to 10% reduction in estimated cash flows. Sale and IPO scenarios employed capitalization rates ranging from 10% to 12% which were discounted 20% for lack of marketability. Due to the significant unobservable estimates and assumptions used in the valuation of the note, the Company had classified it under Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The Company exercised its right to demand payment of the note and received $4,875 from Jinsheng in May 2013, recognizing a realized gain of $2,400 in the second quarter of 2013. The Company had previously recorded a $2,400 other-than-temporary impairment related to the Jinsheng note in 2009 due to China's declining real estate market. See Note 5 for further discussion. The following table provides a reconciliation of changes between the beginning and ending balances of the Jinsheng note (Level 3):



	Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013			Year Ended December 31, 2012
Privately-held debt and equity securities (Level 3):
Balance, beginning of period	$	2,475		$	2,475
Net settlement	(4,875		)	—
Realized gain recorded in earnings	2,400			—
Balance, end of period	$	—		$	2,475

Fair Value Measurements on a Nonrecurring Basis

The Company measures the fair value of certain long-lived assets on a nonrecurring basis, through quarterly impairment testing or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. The Company considers both quantitative and qualitative factors in its impairment analysis of long-lived assets. Significant quantitative factors include historical and forecasted information for each property such as net operating income ("NOI"), occupancy statistics and sales levels. Significant qualitative factors used include market conditions, age and condition of the property and tenant mix. Due to the significant unobservable estimates and assumptions used in the valuation of long-lived assets that experience impairment, the Company classifies such long-lived assets under Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value analysis as of September 30, 2013 used various probability-weighted scenarios comparing the property's net book value to the sum of its estimated fair value. Assumptions included up to a 10-year holding period with a sale at the end of the holding period, capitalization rates ranging from 10% to 12% and an estimated sales cost of 1%.

The following table sets forth information regarding the Company's assets that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis:



			Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using
	Fair Value at June 30, 2013		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)		Total Loss
Assets:
Long-lived assets	$	23,900	$	—	$	—	$	23,900	$	20,453

In accordance with the Company's quarterly impairment review process, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment of real estate of $20,453 in the second quarter of 2013 related to Citadel Mall, located in Charleston, SC to write-down the depreciated book value to its estimated fair value of $23,900 as of June 30, 2013. The mall has experienced declining cash flows which are insufficient to cover the debt service on the mortgage secured by the property. The loan is currently in default and the Company has classified Citadel Mall as a non-core property as of September 30, 2013. There was no impairment of long-lived assets in the three months ended September 30, 2013.

The revenue of Citadel Mall accounted for approximately 0.6% of total consolidated revenue for the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2013. A reconciliation of Citadel Mall's carrying value for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 is as follows:



	Citadel Mall
Beginning carrying value, January 1, 2013	$	45,178
Capital expenditures	266
Depreciation expense	(1,226		)
Loss on impairment of real estate	(20,453		)
Ending carrying value, September 30, 2013	$	23,765

Additionally, during the second quarter of 2013, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment of $585 to write-down the depreciated book value of the corporate airplane owned by the Management Company to its fair value at its trade-in date.

Fremaux Town Center JV, LLC

In January 2013, the Company formed a 65/35 joint venture, Fremaux Town Center JV, LLC ("Fremaux"), to develop, own and operate Fremaux Town Center, a community center development located in Slidell, LA. Construction began in March 2013 with completion expected in summer 2014. The partners contributed aggregate initial equity of $20,500, of which the Company's contribution was $18,450. Following the initial formation of Fremaux, all required future contributions will be funded on a 65/35 pro rata basis. In March 2013, Fremaux obtained a construction loan on the property that allows for borrowings up to $46,000 and bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.125%. The loan matures in March 2016 and has two one-year extension options, which are at the joint venture's election, for an outside maturity date of March 2018. The Company has guaranteed 100% of the construction loan. As of September 30, 2013, $11,364 was outstanding under the loan. The Company holds the majority ownership

Total noncontrolling interest was $22,000 and $63,496, as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

Noncontrolling Interests of the Company

The noncontrolling interests of the Company include the third party interests discussed above as well as the aggregate noncontrolling partnership interest in the Operating Partnership that is not owned by the Company and for which each of the noncontrolling limited partners has the right to exchange all or a portion of its partnership interests for shares of the Company’s common stock or, at the Company’s election, their cash equivalent. As of September 30, 2013, the Company's total noncontrolling interests of $165,023 consisted of noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership and in other consolidated subsidiaries of $143,023 and $22,000, respectively.

Table of Contents

of noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership and in other consolidated subsidiaries of $128,908 and $63,496, respectively.

Cost Method Investments

The Company owns a 6.2% noncontrolling interest in subsidiaries of Jinsheng, an established mall operating and real estate development company located in Nanjing, China. As of September 30, 2013, Jinsheng owned controlling interests in eight home furnishing shopping malls.

Prior to May 2013, the Company also held a secured convertible promissory note secured by 16,565,534 Series 2 Ordinary Shares of Jinsheng (which equated to a 2.275% ownership interest). The secured note was non-interest bearing and was amended by the Company and Jinsheng to extend to May 30, 2013 the Company's right to convert the outstanding amount of the secured note into 16,565,534 Series A-2 Preferred Shares of Jinsheng. The Company exercised its right to demand payment of the note and received payment from Jinsheng in May 2013. See Note 3 for additional information.

The Company accounts for its noncontrolling interest in Jinsheng using the cost method because the Company does not exercise significant influence over Jinsheng and there is no readily determinable market value of Jinsheng’s shares since they are not publicly traded. See Note 3 for information regarding the fair value of the secured note. The noncontrolling interest and the secured note are reflected as investment in unconsolidated affiliates in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Variable Interest Entities

Louisville Outlet Shoppes, LLC

In the second quarter of 2013, the Company entered into a joint venture, Louisville Outlet Shoppes, LLC, with a third party to develop, own and operate The Outlet Shoppes at Louisville located in Simpsonville, KY. Construction began in June 2013 with completion expected in summer 2014. The Company holds a 65% ownership interest in the joint venture. The Company determined that its investment in this joint venture represents an interest in a VIE and that the Company is the primary beneficiary because of its power to direct activities of the joint venture that most significantly impact the joint venture's economic performance as well as the obligation to absorb losses or right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be significant. As a result, the joint venture is presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2013 on a consolidated basis, with the interests of the third party reflected as a noncontrolling interest. In August 2013, the joint venture obtained a construction loan for the development of this property. See Note 6 for additional information.

Kirkwood Mall Mezz, LLC

In the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company acquired a 49% ownership interest in Kirkwood Mall Mezz, LLC, which owns Kirkwood Mall located in Bismarck, ND. The Company determined that its investment in this joint venture represented an interest in a VIE and that the Company was the primary beneficiary, since under the terms of the agreement the Company's equity investment was at risk while the third party had a fixed price for which it would sell its remaining 51% equity interest to the Company. As a result, the joint venture was presented in the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2012 on a consolidated basis, with the interests of the third party reflected as a noncontrolling interest. In accordance with its executed agreement, the Company acquired the remaining 51% interest in April 2013 and assumed $40,368 of non-recourse debt. Following the Company's acquisition of the noncontrolling interest in April 2013, this joint venture is now wholly-owned, and is no longer a VIE.

Gettysburg Outlet Center Holding LLC

(4)	The Company converted its secured line of credit to unsecured in February 2013.

Unsecured Lines of Credit

The Company has three unsecured credit facilities that are used for retirement of secured loans, repayment of term loans, working capital, construction and acquisition purposes, as well as issuances of letters of credit.

Wells Fargo Bank NA serves as the administrative agent for a syndicate of financial institutions for the Company's two unsecured $600,000 credit facilities ("Facility A" and "Facility B"). Facility A matures in November 2015 and has a one-year extension option for an outside maturity date of November 2016. Facility B matures in November 2016 and has a one-year extension option for an outside maturity date of November 2017. The extension options on both facilities are at the Company's election, subject to continued compliance with the terms of the facilities, and have a one-time extension fee of 0.20% of the commitment amount of each credit facility.

In the first quarter of 2013, the Company amended and restated its $105,000 secured credit facility with First Tennessee Bank, NA. The facility was converted from secured to unsecured with a capacity of $100,000 and a maturity date of February 2016.

Prior to May 14, 2013, borrowings under the three unsecured lines of credit bore interest at LIBOR plus a spread ranging from 155 to 210 basis points based on the Company’s leverage ratio. The Company also paid annual unused facility fees, on a quarterly basis, at rates of either 0.25% or 0.30% based on any unused commitment of each facility. In May 2013, the Company obtained an investment grade rating from Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's") and, effective May 14, 2013, made a one-time irrevocable election to use its credit rating to determine the interest rate on each facility. Under the credit rating election, each facility now bears interest at LIBOR plus a spread of 100 to 175 basis points. In July 2013, the Company received an Issuer Default Rating ("IDR") of BBB- with a stable outlook and a senior unsecured notes rating of BBB- from Fitch Ratings ("Fitch"). As of September 30, 2013, the Company's interest rate based on its credit ratings from Moody's and Fitch is LIBOR plus 140 basis points. Additionally, the Company pays an annual facility fee that ranges from 0.15% to 0.35% of the total capacity of each facility rather than the unused commitment fees as described above. As of September 30, 2013, the annual facility fee is 0.30%. The three unsecured lines of credit had a weighted-average interest rate of 1.58% at September 30, 2013.

Table of Contents

The following summarizes certain information about the Company's unsecured lines of credit as of September 30, 2013:



	Total Capacity		Total Outstanding			Maturity Date	Extended Maturity Date

(2) There was an additional $617 outstanding on this facility as of September 30, 2013 for letters of credit. Up to $50,000 of the capacity on this facility can be used for letters of credit.

Unsecured Term Loans

In July 2013, the Company closed on a five-year $400,000 unsecured term loan. Net proceeds from the term loan were used to reduce outstanding balances on the Company's lines of credit. The loan bears interest at a variable rate of LIBOR plus 150 basis points based on the Company's current credit ratings and has a maturity date of July 2018. At September 30, 2013, the outstanding borrowings of $400,000 had an interest rate of 1.68%.

In the second quarter of 2013, the Company retired a $228,000 unsecured term loan at its maturity date with borrowings from the Company's credit facilities.

In the first quarter of 2013, under the terms of the Company's amended and restated agreement with First Tennessee Bank, NA described above, the Company obtained a $50,000 unsecured term loan that bears interest at LIBOR plus 190 basis points and matures in February 2018. At September 30, 2013, the outstanding borrowings of $50,000 had a weighted-average interest rate of 2.08%.

Covenants and Restrictions

The agreements for the unsecured lines of credit and unsecured term loans contain, among other restrictions, certain financial covenants including the maintenance of certain financial coverage ratios, minimum net worth requirements, minimum unencumbered asset and interest ratios, maximum secured indebtedness and limitations on cash flow distributions. The Company believes that it was in compliance with all covenants and restrictions at September 30, 2013.

The following presents the Company's compliance with key unsecured debt covenant compliance ratios as of September 30, 2013:



Ratio	Required	Actual
Debt to total asset value	< 60%	52.7%
Ratio of unencumbered asset value to unsecured indebtedness	> 1.60x	2.43x
Ratio of unencumbered NOI to unsecured interest expense	> 1.75x	7.61x
Ratio of EBITDA to fixed charges (debt service)	> 1.50x	2.15x

The agreements for the unsecured credit facilities and unsecured term loans described above contain default provisions customary for transactions of this nature (with applicable customary grace periods). Additionally, any default in the payment of any recourse indebtedness greater than or equal to $50,000 or any non-recourse indebtedness greater than $150,000 (for the Company's ownership share) of the Company, the Operating Partnership or any Subsidiary, as defined, will constitute an event of default under the agreements to the credit facilities. The credit facilities also restrict the Company's ability to enter into any transaction that could result in certain changes in its ownership or structure as described under the heading “Change of Control/Change in Management” in the agreements for the credit facilities. Prior to the Company obtaining an investment grade rating in May 2013, the obligations of the Company under the agreements were unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by any subsidiary of the Company to the extent such subsidiary was a material subsidiary and was not otherwise an excluded subsidiary, as defined in the agreements. Once the Company obtained an investment grade rating, guarantees by material subsidiaries of the Company were no longer required by the agreements.

Several of the Company’s malls/open-air centers, associated centers and community centers, in addition to the corporate office building, are owned by special purpose entities that are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The sole business purpose of the special purpose entities is to own and operate these properties. The real estate and

Table of Contents

other assets owned by these special purpose entities are restricted under the loan agreements in that they are not available to settle other debts of the Company. However, so long as the loans are not under an event of default, as defined in the loan agreements, the cash flows from these properties, after payments of debt service, operating expenses and reserves, are available for distribution to the Company.

Mortgages on Operating Properties

In September 2013, the Company used borrowings from its lines of credit to retire a $10,200 recourse construction loan, which was secured by The Forum at Grandview in Madison, MS, at its September 2013 maturity date.

In July 2013, the Company retired a $16,000 recourse construction loan, which was secured by Alamance Crossing West in Burlington, NC with borrowings from its credit facilities. The loan was scheduled to mature in December 2013.

In the second quarter of 2013, the Company closed on a three-year $11,400 non-recourse loan secured by Statesboro Crossing in Statesboro, GA. The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 180 basis points. The loan matures in June 2016 and has two one-year extension options, which are at the Company's election, for an outside maturity date of June 2018. Proceeds from the loan were used to pay down the Company's credit facilities.

Also during the second quarter of 2013, the Company retired two loans with an aggregate principal balance of $160,150, including an $88,410 loan secured by Mid Rivers Mall in St. Peters, MO and a $71,740 loan secured by South County Center in St. Louis MO, with borrowings from its credit facilities. The Mid Rivers loan was scheduled to mature in May 2021 and bore interest at a fixed rate of 5.88%. The Company recorded an $8,936 loss on extinguishment of debt related to the Mid Rivers loan, which consisted of an $8,708 prepayment fee and $228 of unamortized debt issuance costs. In connection with the prepayment of the South County Center loan, which was scheduled to mature in October 2013, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $172 from the write-off of an unamortized discount.

In the first quarter of 2013, the Company retired two loans with an aggregate balance of $77,099, including a $13,460 loan secured by Statesboro Crossing in Statesboro, GA and a $63,639 loan secured by Westmoreland Mall in Greensburg, PA, with borrowings from the Company's credit facilities. Both loans were scheduled to mature in the first quarter of 2013.

The lender of the non-recourse mortgage loan secured by Columbia Place in Columbia, SC notified the Company in the first quarter of 2012 that the loan had been placed in default. Columbia Place generates insufficient income levels to cover the debt service on the mortgage, which had a balance of $27,265 at September 30, 2013 and a contractual maturity date of September 2013. The lender on the loan receives the net operating cash flows of the property each month in lieu of scheduled monthly mortgage payments. The servicer for the loan secured by Columbia Place is proceeding with foreclosure which the Company anticipates will occur by the first quarter of 2014.

In August 2013, the lender of the non-recourse mortgage loan secured by Citadel Mall in Charleston, SC sent a formal notice of default and initiated foreclosure proceedings. A foreclosure sale is scheduled to occur in January 2014. Citadel Mall generates insufficient income levels to cover the debt service on the mortgage, which had a balance of $68,282 at September 30, 2013 and a contractual maturity date of April 2017. In the second quarter of 2013, the lender on the loan began receiving the net operating cash flows of the property each month in lieu of scheduled monthly mortgage payments.

See Note 16 for an operating property loan obtained subsequent to September 30, 2013 which replaced an existing construction loan.

Construction Loans

In August 2013, Louisville Outlet Shoppes, LLC obtained a construction loan for the development of The Outlet Shoppes at Louisville that allows for borrowings up to $60,200 and bears interest at LIBOR plus 200 basis points. The loan matures in August 2016 and has two one-year extension options, which are at the joint venture's election, for an outside maturity date of August 2018. The Company has guaranteed 100% of the loan. There were no amounts outstanding under this construction loan at September 30, 2013.

Subsequent to September 30, 2013, a construction loan was repaid. See Note 16 for additional information.

Scheduled Principal Payments

As of September 30, 2013, the scheduled principal amortization and balloon payments of the Company’s consolidated debt, excluding extensions available at the Company’s option, on all mortgage and other indebtedness, including construction loans and lines of credit, are as follows:



2013	$	45,898
2014	219,148

Of the $45,898 of scheduled principal payments in 2013, $18,633 represents scheduled principal amortization and $27,265 relates to the principal balance of one operating property loan secured by Columbia Place with a maturity date of September 2013. The servicer for the loan secured by Columbia Place is proceeding with foreclosure which the Company anticipates will occur by the first quarter of 2014.

The Company’s mortgage and other indebtedness had a weighted-average maturity of 4.0 years as of September 30, 2013 and 4.9 years as of December 31, 2012.

Interest Rate Hedge Instruments

The Company records its derivative instruments in its condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the derivative has been designated as a hedge and, if so, whether the hedge has met the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting.

The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish these objectives, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps and caps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. Interest rate caps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty if interest rates rise above the strike rate on the contract in exchange for an up-front premium.

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as, and that qualify as, cash flow hedges is recorded in AOCI and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. Such derivatives are used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with variable-rate debt.

As of September 30, 2013, the Company had the following outstanding interest rate derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk:

As of September 30, 2013, the Company expects to reclassify approximately $2,149 of losses currently reported in AOCI to interest expense within the next twelve months due to amortization of its outstanding interest rate contracts. Fluctuations in fair values of these derivatives between September 30, 2013 and the respective dates of termination will vary the projected reclassification amount.

Note 8 – Mortgage and Other Notes Receivable

Each of the Company’s mortgage notes receivable is collateralized by either a first mortgage, a second mortgage, or by an assignment of 100% of the partnership interests that own the real estate assets. Other notes receivable include amounts due from tenants or government-sponsored districts and unsecured notes received from third parties as whole or partial consideration for property or investments. Interest rates on mortgage and other notes receivable ranged from 2.68% to 10.0%, with a weighted-average interest rate of 6.97% and 7.33% at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. Maturities of these notes receivable range from May 2014 to January 2047.

In the second quarter of 2013, Mortgage Holdings, LLC, a subsidiary of the Company, entered into a $2,700 loan agreement with an affiliate of Horizon Group Properties, Inc. ("Horizon"), the Company's noncontrolling interest partner in The Outlet Shoppes at Atlanta. The note receivable bears interest of 7.0% through its maturity date in May 2015 and is secured by Horizon's interest in The Outlet Shoppes at Atlanta.

In the first quarter of 2013, Woodstock GA Investments, LLC, a joint venture in which the Company owns a 75.0% interest, received $3,525 of the balance on its $6,581 note receivable with an entity that owns an interest in land in Woodstock, GA, adjacent to the site of The Outlet Shoppes at Atlanta.

The Company believes that its mortgage and other notes receivable balance of $24,976 was fully collectible as of September 30, 2013.

Subsequent to September 30, 2013, the Company sold a parcel of land to a third party development company and received a promissory note in conjunction with the sale. See Note 16 for additional information.

Note 10 – Equity and Capital

At-The-Market Equity Program

On March 1, 2013, the Company entered into separate controlled equity offering sales agreements (collectively, the "Sales Agreements") with a number of sales agents to sell shares of the Company's common stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $300,000, from time to time in "at-the-market" equity offerings (as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) or in negotiated transactions (the "ATM program"). In accordance with the Sales Agreements, the Company will set the parameters for the sales of shares, including the number of shares to be issued, the time period during which sales are to be made and any minimum price below which sales may not be made. The Sales Agreements provide that the sales agents will be entitled to compensation for their services at a mutually agreed commission rate not to exceed 2.0% of the gross proceeds from the sales of shares sold through the ATM program. For each share of common stock issued by the Company, the Operating Partnership issues a corresponding number of common units of limited partnership interest to the Company in exchange for the contribution of the proceeds from the stock issuance. The Company includes only share issuances that have settled in the calculation of shares outstanding at the end of each period. The following table summarizes issuances of common stock sold through the ATM program since inception through September 30, 2013:



	Number of Shares Settled	Gross Proceeds		Net Proceeds		Weighted-average Sales Price
2013:
First quarter	1,889,105	$	44,459	$	43,904	$	23.53
Second quarter	6,530,193	167,034		165,692		25.58
Third quarter	—	—		—		—
Total	8,419,298	$	211,493	$	209,596	$	25.12

The proceeds from these sales were used to reduce the balances on the Company's lines of credit. Since the commencement of the ATM program, the Company has issued 8,419,298 shares of common stock and approximately $88,507 remains available that may be sold under this program. Actual future sales will depend on a variety of factors including but not limited to market conditions, the trading price of the Company's common stock and the Company's capital needs. The Company has no obligation to sell the remaining shares available under the ATM program.

Note 11 – Earnings Per Share and Earnings per Unit

Earnings per Share of the Company

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS assumes the issuance of common stock for all potential dilutive common shares outstanding. The limited partners’ rights to convert their noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership into shares of common stock are not dilutive.

The following summarizes the impact of potential dilutive common shares on the denominator used to compute EPS:

Denominator – diluted	169,906	158,731	166,048	152,765

There were no outstanding stock options in 2013. There were no anti-dilutive shares related to stock options for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012.

Table of Contents

Earnings per Unit of the Operating Partnership

Basic earnings per unit (“EPU”) is computed by dividing net income attributable to common unitholders by the weighted-average number of common units outstanding for the period. Diluted EPU assumes the issuance of common units for all potential dilutive common units outstanding.

The following summarizes the impact of potential dilutive common units on the denominator used to compute EPU:



	Three Months Ended September 30,		Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2013	2012	2013	2012

Denominator – diluted	199,451	190,236	195,594	190,226

There were no outstanding stock options in 2013. There were no anti-dilutive units related to stock options for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012.

Note 12 – Contingencies

Litigation

The Company is currently involved in certain litigation that arises in the ordinary course of business, most of which is expected to be covered by liability insurance. Management makes assumptions and estimates concerning the likelihood and amount of any potential loss relating to these matters using the latest information available. The Company records a liability for litigation if an unfavorable outcome is probable and the amount of loss or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. If an unfavorable outcome is probable and a reasonable estimate of the loss is a range, the Company accrues the best estimate within the range. If no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, the Company accrues the minimum amount within the range. If an unfavorable outcome is probable but the amount of the loss cannot be reasonably estimated, the Company discloses the nature of the litigation and indicates that an estimate of the loss or range of loss cannot be made. If an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible and the estimated loss is material, the Company discloses the nature and estimate of the possible loss of the litigation. The Company does not disclose information with respect to litigation where an unfavorable outcome is considered to be remote or where the estimated loss would not be material. Based on current expectations, such matters, both individually and in the aggregate, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the liquidity, results of operations, business or financial condition of the Company.

On March 11, 2010, The Promenade D'Iberville, LLC (“TPD”), a subsidiary of the Company, filed a lawsuit in the Circuit Court of Harrison County, Mississippi (the "Mississippi Case"), against M. Hanna Construction Co., Inc. (“M Hanna”), Gallet & Associates, Inc., LA Ash, Inc., EMJ Corporation (“EMJ”) and JEA (f/k/a Jacksonville Electric Authority), seeking damages for alleged property damage and related damages occurring at a shopping center development in D'Iberville, Mississippi. EMJ filed an answer and counterclaim denying liability and seeking to recover from TPD the retainage of approximately $327 allegedly owed under the construction contract. Kohl's Department Stores, Inc. (“Kohl's”) was granted permission to intervene in the Mississippi Case and, on April 13, 2011, filed a cross-claim against TPD alleging that TPD is liable to Kohl's for unspecified damages resulting from the actions of the defendants and for the failure to perform the obligations of TPD under a Site Development Agreement with Kohl's. Kohl's also made a claim against the Company based on the Company's guarantee of the performance of TPD under the Site Development Agreement. Although, based on information currently available, the Company believes the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome related to the claims made by EMJ and Kohl's against the Company in connection with the Mississippi case is remote, the Company is providing disclosure of this litigation due to the related party relationship between the Company and EMJ described below. In August 2013, TPD received a partial settlement of $8,240 from certain of the defendants in the Mississippi Case described above. Litigation continues with other defendants in the matter.

TPD also has filed claims under several insurance policies in connection with this matter, and there are three pending lawsuits relating to insurance coverage. On October 8, 2010, First Mercury Insurance Company (“First Mercury”) filed an action in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas against M Hanna and TPD seeking a declaratory judgment concerning coverage under a liability insurance policy issued by First Mercury to M Hanna. That case was dismissed for lack of federal jurisdiction and refiled in Texas state court. On June 13, 2011, TPD filed an action in the Chancery Court of Hamilton County, Tennessee (the "Tennessee Case") against National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, PA (“National Union”) and EMJ seeking a declaratory judgment regarding coverage under a liability insurance policy issued by National Union to EMJ

Table of Contents

and recovery of damages arising out of National Union's breach of its obligations. In March 2012, Zurich American and Zurich American of Illinois, which also have issued liability insurance policies to EMJ, intervened in the Tennessee Case and the case was set for trial on October 29, 2013 but, currently, the trial date has been extended while the parties attempt to mediate the case. On February 14, 2012, TPD filed claims in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi against Factory Mutual Insurance Company and Federal Insurance Company seeking a declaratory judgment concerning coverage under certain builders risk and property insurance policies issued by those respective insurers to the Company.

Certain executive officers of the Company and members of the immediate family of Charles B. Lebovitz, Chairman of the Board of the Company, collectively have a significant non-controlling interest in EMJ, a major national construction company that the Company engaged to build a substantial number of the Company's properties. EMJ is one of the defendants in the Mississippi Case and in the Tennessee Case described above.

Environmental Contingencies

The Company evaluates potential loss contingencies related to environmental matters using the same criteria described above related to litigation matters. Based on current information, an unfavorable outcome concerning such environmental matters, both individually and in the aggregate, is considered to be reasonably possible. However, the Company believes its maximum potential exposure to loss would not be material to its results of operations or financial condition. The Company has a master insurance policy that provides coverage through 2022 for certain environmental claims up to $10,000 per occurrence and up to$50,000 in the aggregate, subject to deductibles and certain exclusions.

Other Contingencies

In September 2013, the Company redeemed all outstanding perpetual PJV units of its joint venture, CW Joint Venture, LLC ("CWJV") with Westfield using borrowings from the Company's lines of credit. The PJV units, originally issued in 2007 as part of the acquisition of four malls in St. Louis, MO by CWJV, were redeemed for $412,986, which consisted of $408,577 for the PJV units and $4,409 for accrued and unpaid preferred returns. In accordance with the joint venture agreement, the redemption amount represented a $10,000 reduction to the preferred liquidation value of the PJV units of $418,577. The $10,000 reduction has been recorded as an increase in additional paid-in capital of the Company and as an increase to partners' capital of the Operating Partnership.

Prior to the September 2013 redemption, the terms of the joint venture agreement required that CWJV pay an annual preferred distribution at a rate of 5.0% on the preferred liquidation value of the PJV units of CWJV that were held by Westfield. Westfield had the right to have all or a portion of the PJV units redeemed by CWJV with either cash or property owned by CWJV, in each case for a net equity amount equal to the preferred liquidation value of the PJV units. At any time after January 1, 2013, Westfield could propose that CWJV acquire certain qualifying property that would be used to redeem the PJV units at their preferred liquidation value. If CWJV did not redeem the PJV units with such qualifying property, then the annual preferred distribution rate on the PJV units would increase to 9.0% beginning July 1, 2013. The Company had the right, but not the obligation, to offer to redeem the PJV units from January 31, 2013 through January 31, 2015 at their preferred liquidation value, plus accrued and unpaid distributions. The Company amended the joint venture agreement with Westfield in September 2012 to provide that, if the Company exercised its right to offer to redeem the PJV units on or before August 1, 2013, then the preferred liquidation value would be reduced by $10,000 so long as Westfield did not reject the offer and the redemption closed on or before September 30, 2013.

Guarantees

The Company may guarantee the debt of a joint venture primarily because it allows the joint venture to obtain funding at a lower cost than could be obtained otherwise. This results in a higher return for the joint venture on its investment, and a higher return on the Company’s investment in the joint venture. The Company may receive a fee from the joint venture for providing the guaranty. Additionally, when the Company issues a guaranty, the terms of the joint venture agreement typically provide that the Company may receive indemnification from the joint venture partner or have the ability to increase its ownership interest.

The Company owned a parcel of land in Lee’s Summit, MO that it ground leased to a third party development company. The third party developed and operates a shopping center on the land parcel. The Company guaranteed 27% of the third party’s construction loan and bond line of credit (the “loans”) of which the maximum guaranteed amount, representing 27% of capacity, is approximately $14,931. The total amount outstanding at September 30, 2013 on the loans was $49,817 of which the Company had guaranteed $13,451. The Company included an obligation of $192 as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets to reflect the estimated fair value of the guaranty. In the third quarter of 2013, the loan was extended to October 2013. Subsequent to September 30, 2013, the Company was released from its guarantee upon the sale of the land parcel to the third party and the termination of the related ground lease.

The Company has guaranteed the lease performance of York Town Center, LP ("YTC"), an unconsolidated affiliate in which the Company owns a 50% interest, under the terms of an agreement with a third party that owns property as part of York Town Center. Under the terms of that agreement, YTC is obligated to cause performance of the third party’s obligations as landlord under its lease with its sole tenant, including, but not limited to, provisions such as co-tenancy and exclusivity requirements. Should YTC fail to cause performance, then the tenant under the third party landlord’s lease may pursue certain remedies ranging from rights to terminate its lease to receiving reductions in rent. The Company has guaranteed YTC’s performance under this agreement up to a maximum of $22,000, which decreases by $800 annually until the guaranteed amount is reduced to $10,000. The guaranty expires on December 31, 2020. The maximum guaranteed obligation was $17,200 as of September 30, 2013. The Company entered into an agreement with its joint venture partner under which the joint venture partner has agreed to reimburse the Company 50% of any amounts it is obligated to fund under the guaranty.

The Company has issued various bonds that it would have to satisfy in the event of non-performance. The total amount outstanding on these bonds was $23,501 and $29,211 at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

Note 13 – Share-Based Compensation

As of September 30, 2013, there were two share-based compensation plans under which the Company has outstanding awards, the 2012 Plan and the 1993 Plan, as defined below. The Company can elect to make new awards under one of these plans, the CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. 2012 Stock Incentive Plan ("the 2012 Plan"), which was approved by the Company's shareholders in May 2012. The 2012 Plan permits the Company to issue stock options and common stock to selected officers, employees and non-employee directors of the Company up to a total of 10,400,000 shares. The Company did not issue any new awards under the CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. Second Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan ("the 1993 Plan"), which was approved by the Company's shareholders in May 2003, between the adoption of the 2012 Plan to replace the 1993 Plan in May 2012 and the termination of the 1993 Plan (as to new awards) on May 5, 2013. As the primary operating subsidiary of the Company, the Operating Partnership participates in and bears the compensation expense associated with the Company's share-based compensation plans.

Share-based compensation expense was $418 and $467 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $2,296 and $1,974 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Share-based

Note 15 – Income Taxes

The Company is qualified as a REIT under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. To maintain qualification as a REIT, the Company is required to distribute at least 90% of its taxable income to shareholders and meet certain other requirements.

As a REIT, the Company is generally not liable for federal corporate income taxes. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to federal and state income taxes on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates. Even if the Company maintains its qualification as a REIT, the Company may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property, and to federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income. State tax expense was $674 and $901 during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively and $2,680 and $2,330 during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The Company has also elected taxable REIT subsidiary status for some of its subsidiaries. This enables the Company to receive income and provide services that would otherwise be impermissible for REITs. For these entities, deferred tax assets and liabilities are established for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities at the enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is provided if the Company believes all or some portion of the deferred tax asset may not be realized. An increase or decrease in the valuation allowance resulting from changes in circumstances that may affect the realizability of the related deferred tax asset is included in income or expense, as applicable.

The Company recorded an income tax provision of $271 and $1,195 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The income tax provision in 2013 consisted of a current tax provision of $428 and deferred tax benefit of $157. The income tax provision in 2012 consisted of a current tax benefit of $171 and a deferred tax provision of $1,366.

Table of Contents

The Company recorded an income tax provision of $854 and $1,234 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The income tax provision in 2013 consisted of a current tax benefit of $812 and deferred tax provision of $1,666. The income tax provision in 2012 consisted of a current tax benefit of $2,447 and deferred tax provision of $3,681.

The Company had a net deferred tax asset of $5,753 and $6,607 at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The net deferred tax asset at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 is included in intangible lease assets and other assets and primarily consisted of operating expense accruals and differences between book and tax depreciation.

The Company reports any income tax penalties attributable to its properties as property operating expenses and any corporate-related income tax penalties as general and administrative expenses in its condensed consolidated statements of operations. In addition, any interest incurred on tax assessments is reported as interest expense. The Company reported nominal interest and penalty amounts for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Note 16 – Subsequent Events

As noted in Note 12, the Company owned a parcel of land in Lee's Summit, MO that it ground leased to a third party development company that developed and operates a shopping center on the land parcel. The Company had guaranteed 27% of the third party’s loans of which the maximum guaranteed amount, representing 27% of capacity, was approximately $14,931. In November 2013, the Company sold the land parcel to the third party development company for $22,430. The Company received $15,000 in cash and a promissory note of $7,430 from the third party development company's parent. The note receivable bears interest of 5% and fully amortizes through its maturity date in November 2023. In conjunction with the land sale, the Company's ground lease with the third party development company terminated and the Company was released from its 27% guaranty.

In November 2013, the construction and land loans on West Melbourne were extended to December 2013.

In October 2013, the guarantees of the debt encumbering West Melbourne and Port Orange were each reduced from 100% to 25%.

In October 2013, Atlanta Outlet Shoppes, LLC closed on an $80,000 ten-year non-recourse mortgage loan secured by The Outlet Shoppes at Atlanta. The loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 4.9%. Proceeds from the loan were used to repay a $53,080 recourse construction loan. The construction loan had a principal balance of $49,641 as of September 30, 2013. The Company's share of the remaining excess proceeds were used to reduce outstanding balances on the Company's credit facilities.

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date of issuance of these financial statements.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

We are a self-managed, self-administered, fully integrated REIT that is engaged in the ownership, development, acquisition, leasing, management and operation of regional shopping malls, open-air centers, outlet centers, associated centers, community centers and office properties. Our properties are located in 27 states, but are primarily in the southeastern and midwestern United States. We have elected to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.

As of September 30, 2013, we owned controlling interests in 75 regional malls/open-air and outlet centers (including one mixed-use center), 25 associated centers (each located adjacent to a regional mall), seven community centers and eight office buildings, including our corporate office building. We consolidate the financial statements of all entities in which we have a controlling financial interest or where we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE. As of September 30, 2013, we owned noncontrolling interests in nine regional malls/open-air centers, four associated centers, four community centers and five office buildings. Because one or more of the other partners have substantive participating rights, we do not control these partnerships and joint ventures and, accordingly, account for these investments using the equity method. We had controlling interests in one outlet center development, three mall expansions and two mall redevelopments at September 30, 2013. We also had a noncontrolling interest in one community center development at September 30, 2013. We also hold options to acquire certain development properties owned by third parties.

We continue to progress in strengthening our balance sheet and expanding our financing options. We obtained an IDR of BBB- with a stable outlook and a senior unsecured notes rating of BBB- with a stable outlook from Fitch in July 2013. In May 2013, we received a BBB- rating with a stable outlook from Moody's. The investment grade ratings from Moody's and Fitch allow us broader access to the public debt markets. Additionally, we closed on a five-year $400.0 million unsecured term loan in July 2013. Net proceeds from the term loan were used to reduce outstanding balances on our lines of credit. The loan bears interest at a variable rate of LIBOR plus 150 basis points based on our current credit ratings and has a maturity date of July 2018.

In September 2013, we redeemed all outstanding perpetual PJV units of our CWJV joint venture with Westfield using availability on our lines of credit. The PJV units, originally issued in 2007 as part of the acquisition of four malls in St. Louis, MO by CWJV, were redeemed for $413.0 million, which consisted of $408.6 million for the PJV units and $4.4 million for accrued and unpaid preferred return. The redemption amount reflected a $10.0 million reduction in the preferred liquidation value of the PJV units in accordance with the joint venture agreement.

As part of our strategy to enhance the productivity of the portfolio by disposing of lower sales productivity assets, we sold three malls and three associated centers for a gross sales price of $176.0 million in August 2013. Since 2011, we have reduced the number of malls in our core portfolio with sales of less than $250 per square foot from 12 to three. In conjunction with the divestiture of mature and non-core properties, we have also focused on upgrading and improving our tenant mix.

We continually review the performance and trends of existing tenants including our department stores. For example, JCPenney’s negative sales performance for the past two years has raised concerns in the market and we have reviewed their store base in our portfolio to develop alternative plans that would bring exciting new retail options to our malls. Of the 71 JCPenney stores at our malls, 38 of the stores are owned by JCPenney and 33 are leased. Cumulatively, this retailer accounts for only 1.5% of our total annual revenues. While the recent news for JCPenney has been positive, should we have the opportunity to recapture some of their stores, we have multiple options to utilize these spaces including replacing with new anchors, redevelopment into additional boxes and restaurants, adding small shops or creating outparcels. As an example, our plans for redevelopment of the two Sears buildings we recently purchased include newly created mall shop space for a mix of fashion retailers, restaurants and junior anchors.

Proceeds from our ATM program, asset sales and availability on our lines of credit allow us the flexibility to pursue a variety of development projects, make strategic acquisitions and reinvest in our properties. Highlights of third quarter 2013 results include double-digit leasing spreads and increases in occupancy. For the third quarter of 2013, leasing spreads were up 12.8% for both stabilized malls and our overall portfolio. Portfolio occupancy also increased 80 basis points to 93.8% from 93.0% as compared to the prior-year period.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Properties that were in operation for the entire year during 2012 and the nine months ended September 30, 2013 are referred to as the “Comparable Properties.” Since January 1, 2012, we have opened one outlet center and two community center developments and acquired two outlet centers and two malls as follows:



Property	Location	Date Opened/Acquired
New Developments:
Waynesville Commons	Waynesville, NC	October 2012
The Crossings at Marshalls Creek	Middle Smithfield, PA	June 2013
The Outlet Shoppes at Atlanta ⁽¹⁾	Woodstock, GA	July 2013

Acquisitions:
The Outlet Shoppes at El Paso⁽¹⁾	El Paso, TX	April 2012
The Outlet Shoppes at Gettysburg⁽²⁾	Gettysburg, PA	April 2012
Dakota Square Mall	Minot, ND	May 2012
Kirkwood Mall ⁽³⁾	Bismarck, ND	December 2012



(1)	The Outlet Shoppes at Atlanta and The Outlet Shoppes at El Paso are 75/25 joint ventures and are included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations on a consolidated basis.
(2)	The Outlet Shoppes at Gettysburg is a 50/50 joint venture and is included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations on a consolidated basis.
(3)	We acquired a 49.0% interest in Kirkwood Mall in December 2012 and acquired the remaining 51.0% interest in April 2013. This property has been included on a consolidated basis in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations since December 2012.

The properties listed above are included in our operations on a consolidated basis and are collectively referred to as the “New Properties.” In addition to the above properties, in December 2012, we purchased the remaining 40.0% noncontrolling interests in Imperial Valley Mall L.P. and Imperial Valley Peripheral L.P., collectively referred to as the "IV Property," from our joint venture partner. The results of operations of the IV Property, previously accounted for using the equity method of accounting, are included in our operations on a consolidated basis beginning December 2012. The transactions related to the New Properties and the IV Property impact the comparison of the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 to the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2013 to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2012

Revenues

Total revenues increased $8.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the prior-year period. Rental revenues and tenant reimbursements increased by $6.8 million due to increases of $6.5 million related to the New Properties and $3.2 million attributable to the IV Property, partially offset by a decrease of $2.9 million related to the Comparable Properties. The decrease in revenues of the Comparable Properties is primarily attributable to lower percentage rent revenues due to lower sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the prior-year period and decreases in real estate tax reimbursements as a result of the timing of adjustments to reflect actual billings and current estimates.

Our cost recovery ratio for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 was 94.9% compared with 99.3% for the prior-year period primarily due to lower real estate tax reimbursements.

Other revenues increased $1.6 million primarily due to $0.9 million received as a claims settlement for lost business as a result of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill as well as an increase of $0.4 million in revenue related to our subsidiary that provides security and maintenance services to third parties.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses increased $5.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the prior-year period. Property operating expenses, including real estate taxes and maintenance and repairs, increased $3.5 million primarily due to increases of $1.6 million related to the New Properties, $1.0 million attributable to the IV Property and $0.9 million related to the Comparable Properties. The increase in property operating expenses of the Comparable Properties is primarily attributable

Table of Contents

to increases of $1.4 million in insurance expense and $0.3 million in advertising costs, which were partially offset by decreases of $0.4 million in utilities expense and $0.4 million in security contracts expense.

The increase in depreciation and amortization expense of $4.9 million resulted from increases of $2.7 million related to the New Properties, $1.9 million related to the IV Property and $0.3 million attributable to the Comparable Properties.

General and administrative expenses decreased less than $0.1 million primarily as a result of decreases in legal fees and state taxes partially offset by increases in travel expenses and expenses related to obtaining investment grade ratings. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses were 3.9% and 4.1% for the third quarters of 2013 and 2012, respectively.

In the third quarter of 2012, we recorded an impairment of real estate in continuing operations of $3.9 million which was comprised of $3.0 million related to The Courtyard at Hickory Hollow, an associated center located in Antioch, TN and $0.9 million from the sale of two outparcels. The non-cash impairment of The Courtyard at Hickory Hollow reduced the depreciable basis of this property to its estimated fair value.

Other expenses increased $0.5 million primarily due to higher expenses related to our subsidiary that provides security and maintenance services.

Other Income and Expenses

Interest and other income increased $8.0 million compared to the prior-year period primarily due to an $8.2 million partial settlement of a lawsuit. See Note 12 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Interest expense decreased $5.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the prior-year period. A decrease of $6.7 million for the Comparable Properties was partially offset by increases of $0.8 million related to the New Properties and $0.5 million attributable to the IV Property. The decrease attributable to the Comparable Properties resulted from using our credit facilities to retire higher-rate mortgage loans and refinancing other properties at lower fixed rates. Additionally, we were able to lower the interest rates on our credit facilities in May 2013 upon achieving an investment grade rating.

During the third quarter of 2012, we recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt of $0.2 million in connection with the early retirement of a mortgage loan.

We recognized a $0.1 million gain on sales of real estate assets in the third quarter of 2013 attributable to additional consideration received for an outparcel previously taken through an eminent domain proceeding. During the third quarter of 2012, we recognized $1.7 million of gain on sales of real estate assets from the sale of four parcels of land.

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates increased by $0.2 million during the third quarter of 2013 compared to the prior-year period. The $0.2 million increase is primarily attributable to increases in rents based on occupancy gains, growth in rental rates and lower interest expense related to the refinancing of West County Center in December 2012. These were partially offset by a decrease as a result of the the IV Property being consolidated in the 2013 period.

The income tax provision of $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 relates to the Management Company, which is a taxable REIT subsidiary, and consists of a current tax provision of $0.4 million and a deferred income tax benefit of less than $0.2 million. During the three months ended September 30, 2012, we recorded an income tax provision of $1.2 million, consisting of a current tax benefit of $0.2 million and a deferred tax provision of $1.4 million.

The operating loss from discontinued operations for the three months ended September 30, 2013 of $8.3 million includes a $5.2 million loss on impairment of real estate to write down the net book value of a portfolio of six properties sold in the third quarter of 2013 to the net sales price, a $2.9 million write-off of straight line rent for properties sold during the period, the operating results of the three malls and three associated centers sold in a third quarter 2013 portfolio sale, and settlement of estimated expenses based on actual amounts for properties sold in previous periods. The operating loss from discontinued operations for the three months ended September 30, 2012 of $23.8 million includes a $26.2 million loss on impairment of real estate related to two malls and one community center that were sold in 2012, which was partially offset by the operating results of two malls and two community centers that were sold in 2012, the operating results of three malls, three associated centers and five office buildings that were sold in 2013, as well as settlement of estimated expenses based on actual amounts for properties sold during previous periods. The $0.3 million gain on discontinued operations for the third quarter of 2013 is primarily attributable to recognition of a gain from the sale of two office buildings which had been deferred in December 2008 until subsequent repayment of the related notes receivable. The $0.1 million gain on discontinued operations for the third quarter of 2012 represents a gain from a community center that was sold during the period.

Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013 to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012

Revenues

Total revenues increased $39.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the prior-year period. Rental revenues and tenant reimbursements increased by $34.3 million due to increases of $23.6 million related to the New

Table of Contents

Properties, $9.9 million attributable to the IV Property and $0.8 million related to the Comparable Properties. The increase in revenues of the Comparable Properties is primarily attributable to increases in base and percentage rents, which were partially offset by decreases in real estate tax reimbursements.

Our cost recovery ratio for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was 97.8% compared with 98.9% for the prior-year period due to lower real estate tax reimbursements.

The increase in management, development and leasing fees of $1.5 million was mainly attributable to a contract that began in June 2012 to provide management services to a portfolio of six malls owned by a third party.

Other revenues increased $3.3 million primarily due an increase of $1.6 million in revenue related to our subsidiary that provides security and maintenance services to third parties and $0.9 million received as a claims settlement for lost business as a result of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses increased $46.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the prior-year period. Property operating expenses, including real estate taxes and maintenance and repairs, increased $9.4 million due to increases of $6.4 million attributable to the New Properties and $3.1 million related to the IV Property partially offset by a decrease of $0.1 million related to the Comparable Properties. The decrease in property operating expenses of the Comparable Properties is primarily attributable to decreases of $2.0 million in real estate taxes. $1.0 million in utilities expense and $0.5 million in security contracts expense, which were partially offset by increases of $1.9 million in insurance expense, $1.0 million in maintenance and repairs expense and $0.4 million in advertising costs.

The increase in depreciation and amortization expense of $17.5 million resulted from increases of $10.0 million related to the New Properties, $5.5 million attributable to the IV Property and $2.0 million related to the Comparable Properties. The increase attributable to the Comparable Properties is primarily due to an increase of $4.5 million in depreciation expense related to capital expenditures for renovations and redevelopments, partially offset by decreases of $1.4 million in amortization of tenant allowances and $1.4 million in amortization of in-place leases.

General and administrative expenses increased $0.5 million primarily as a result of increases in payroll and related costs, state tax expense, and expenses related to obtaining investment grade ratings, partially offset by decreases in acquisition-related costs recorded in 2012. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses were 4.7% and 4.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recorded non-cash impairment charges of $21.0 million, which consisted of $20.4 million related to Citadel Mall in Charleston, SC and $0.6 million attributable to the trade-in of the Company's aircraft at a price below its cost basis. See Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of impairment charges. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we recorded an impairment of real estate in continuing operations of $3.9 million which was comprised of $3.0 million related to The Courtyard at Hickory Hollow, an associated center located in Antioch, TN and $0.9 million from the sale of two outparcels. The non-cash impairment of The Courtyard at Hickory Hollow reduced the depreciable basis of this properties to its estimated fair value.

Other expenses increased $2.0 million primarily due to higher expenses of $1.8 million related to our subsidiary that provides security and maintenance services to third parties.

Other Income and Expenses

Interest and other income increased $7.0 million compared to the prior-year period. The increase relates to an $8.2 million partial settlement of a lawsuit. See Note 12 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information. The increase was partially offset by $1.2 million attributable to two mezzanine loans for two outlet centers. In 2012, we earned $0.6 million in interest income on these loans and subsequently recognized $0.6 million of unamortized discounts on these loans when they terminated in connection with the acquisitions of member interests in both outlet centers in 2012.

Interest expense decreased $8.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the prior-year period. A decrease of $14.1 million for the Comparable Properties was partially offset by increases of $4.4 million related to the New Properties and $1.5 million attributable to the IV Property. The decrease attributable to the Comparable Properties resulted from using our credit facilities to retire higher-rate mortgage loans and refinancing other properties at lower fixed rates.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $9.1 million in connection with the early retirement of two mortgage loans. The loss was attributable to a prepayment fee of $8.7 million for the loan payoff of Mid Rivers Mall and $0.4 million to write-off unamortized financing costs for Mid Rivers Mall and South County Center. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt of $0.2 million in connection with the early retirement of a mortgage loan.

Table of Contents

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recognized gain on sale of real estate assets of $1.1 million, which was comprised of $1.0 million in proceeds from the sale of six parcels of land and $0.1 million attributable to additional consideration received for an outparcel previously taken through an eminent domain proceeding. We recognized gain on sales of real estate assets of $1.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 related to the sale of a vacant anchor space at one of our malls and the sale of seven parcels of land.

We recorded a gain on investment of $2.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 attributable to the full payment of a note receivable related to our investment in China that had been written down in 2009.

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates increased by $2.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the prior-year period. The increase is primarily attributable to lower interest expense from the refinancing of West County Center in December 2012 and increases in base rents and tenant reimbursements due to occupancy improvements and growth in rental rates. These were partially offset by a decrease as a result of the IV Property being consolidated in the 2013 period.

The income tax provision of $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 relates to the Management Company, which is a taxable REIT subsidiary, and consists of a current tax benefit of $0.8 million and a deferred income tax provision of $1.7 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we recorded an income tax provision of $1.2 million, consisting of a current tax benefit of $2.4 million and a deferred tax provision of $3.6 million.

The operating loss from discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 of $5.2 million includes a $5.2 million loss on impairment of real estate to write down the net book value of a portfolio of six properties sold in the third quarter of 2013 to the net sales price, a $2.9 million write-off of straight line rent for properties sold during the period, the operating results of the three malls, three associated centers and five office buildings sold in 2013, and settlement of estimated expenses based on actual amounts for properties sold in previous periods. The operating loss from discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 of $16.2 million includes a $26.2 million loss on impairment of real estate related to two malls and one community center that were sold in 2012, which was partially offset by the operating results of two malls and four community centers that were sold in 2012, the operating results of three malls, three associated centers and five office buildings that were sold in 2013, as well as settlement of estimated expenses based on actual amounts for properties sold during previous periods. The gain on discontinued operations of $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 represents the gain from the sale of five office buildings sold during the period as well as recognition of a gain from the sale of two office buildings which had been deferred in December 2008 until subsequent repayment of the related notes receivable. The gain on discontinued operations of $1.0 million for the same period in 2012 represents the gain from a community center that was sold in 2012.

Same-Center Net Operating Income

We present same-center NOI as a supplemental performance measure of the operating performance of our same-center properties. NOI is defined as operating revenues (rental revenues, tenant reimbursements, and other income) less property operating expenses (property operating, real estate taxes, and maintenance and repairs). We compute NOI based on our pro rata share of both consolidated and unconsolidated properties. Our definition of NOI may be different than that used by other real estate companies, and accordingly, our calculation of NOI may not be comparable to other real estate companies.

We included a property in our same-center pool when we owned all or a portion of the property as of September 30, 2013 and we owned it and it was in operation for both the entire preceding calendar year and the current year-to-date reporting period ending September 30, 2013. New Properties are excluded from same-center NOI, until they meet this criteria. The only properties excluded from the same-center pool that would otherwise meet this criteria are non-core properties, properties under major redevelopment and properties included in discontinued operations.

We believe same-center NOI provides a measure that reflects trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, and operating costs and the impact of those trends on our results of operations. Additionally, there are instances when tenants terminate their leases prior to the scheduled expiration date and pay us lease termination fees. These one-time lease termination fees may distort same-center NOI and may not be indicative of the ongoing operations of our shopping center properties. Therefore, we believe also presenting same-center NOI, excluding lease termination fees, is useful to investors.

Table of Contents

Due to the exclusions noted above, same-center NOI should only be used as a supplemental measure of our performance and not as an alternative to GAAP operating income (loss) or net income (loss). A reconciliation of our same-center NOI to net income attributable to the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 is as follows (in thousands):

(1)	Adjustments are based on our pro rata ownership share, including our share of unconsolidated affiliates and excluding noncontrolling interests' share of consolidated properties.

Same-center NOI, excluding lease termination fees, increased $1.4 million and $6.8 million for the three and nine month periods ending September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. While NOI increased for both the quarter and year-to-date periods ended September 30, 2013, the increase was muted as contributions from occupancy improvements and increases in base rents during the third quarter were impacted by negative variances totaling $2.5 million in real estate tax reimbursements, non-cash adjustments for straight line rent and above and below-market leases, and declines in percentage rents. Real estate tax reimbursements decreased $1.2 million as compared to the prior-year period for billing adjustments to reduce accruals for real estate taxes to the actual real estate bills received. Additionally, non-cash write-offs of straight line rent and adjustments to above and below-market leases impacted NOI by $1.0 million as compared to the prior-year period. Lastly, percentage rents in the same-center pool were down $0.3 million in correlation with the 0.6% decline in sales during the three month period ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in the prior year. Same-center NOI for the nine month period ending September 30, 2012 included a $1.2 million bankruptcy settlement.

Operational Review

The shopping center business is, to some extent, seasonal in nature with tenants typically achieving the highest levels of sales during the fourth quarter due to the holiday season, which generally results in higher percentage rents in the fourth quarter. Additionally, the malls earn most of their rents from short-term tenants during the holiday period. Thus, occupancy levels and revenue production are generally the highest in the fourth quarter of each year. Results of operations realized in any one quarter may not be indicative of the results likely to be experienced over the course of the fiscal year.

Table of Contents

We classify our regional malls into three categories:

(1) Stabilized malls – Malls that have completed their initial lease-up and have been open for more than three complete calendar years.

(2) Non-stabilized malls - Malls that are in their initial lease-up phase. After three complete calendar years of operation, they are reclassified on January 1 of the fourth calendar year to the stabilized mall category. The Outlet Shoppes at Atlanta, which opened in July 2013, and The Outlet Shoppes at Oklahoma City, which opened in August 2011, were classified as non-stabilized malls as of September 30, 2013. The Outlet Shoppes at Oklahoma City was our only non-stabilized mall as of September 30, 2012.

(3) Non-core malls - Malls where we have determined that the current format of the property no longer represents the best use of the property and we are in the process of evaluating alternative strategies for the property, which may include major redevelopment or an alternative retail or non-retail format, or after evaluating alternative strategies for the property, we have determined that the property no longer meets our criteria for long-term investment. Columbia Place, Citadel Mall, Chapel Hill Mall and Madison Square were classified as non-core malls as of September 30, 2013. Additionally, Madison Plaza, an associated center adjacent to Madison Square, was classified as a non-core property as of September 30, 2013. Columbia Place was our only non-core mall as of September 30, 2012. The steps taken to reposition non-core properties, such as signing tenants to short-term leases, which are not included in occupancy percentages, or leasing to regional or local tenants, which typically do not report sales, may lead to metrics which do not provide relevant information related to the condition of the non-core properties. Therefore, traditional performance measures, such as occupancy percentages and leasing metrics, exclude non-core properties.

We derive the majority of our revenues from the mall properties. The sources of our revenues by property type were as follows:



	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2013		2012
Malls	91.6	%	88.9	%
Associated centers	4.1	%	4.1	%
Community centers	1.7	%	1.6	%
Mortgages, office buildings and other	2.6	%	5.4	%

Mall Store Sales

Mall store sales include reporting mall tenants of 10,000 square feet or less for stabilized malls and exclude license agreements, which are rental contracts that are temporary or short-term in nature and generally last more than three months but less than twelve months. Mall store sales for our portfolio declined 0.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012. Mall store sales for the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2013 on a comparable per square foot basis were $358 per square foot compared with $355 per square foot in the prior-year period, an increase of 0.9%.

Occupancy

Our portfolio occupancy is summarized in the following table:

Total portfolio occupancy increased 80 basis points for the third quarter of 2013 to 93.8% as compared to the prior-year period. Stabilized malls occupancy increased 40 basis points in the third quarter of 2013 compared to the prior-year period as we continue to show progress in our strategy to enhance our properties through improvements in our retail offerings to customers. In

Table of Contents

the first quarter of 2013, we intentionally allowed a number of store vacancies to occur as an opportunity to upgrade our tenant mix with higher performing retailers. For 2013, we continue to forecast occupancy improvements of 25 to 50 basis points for the total portfolio from the prior year to approximately 95%.

Leasing

During the third quarter of 2013, we signed approximately 1.7 million square feet of leases, including 1.5 million square feet of leases in our operating portfolio and 0.2 million square feet of development leases. The leases signed in our operating portfolio included approximately 0.3 million square feet of new leases and approximately 1.2 million square feet of renewals.

Average annual base rents per square foot are based on contractual rents in effect as of September 30, 2013 and 2012, including the impact of any rent concessions. Average annual base rents per square foot for comparable small shop space of less than 10,000 square feet were as follows for each property type:



	As of September 30,
	2013		2012
Stabilized malls	$	29.97	$	29.21
Non-stabilized malls ⁽¹⁾	24.61		22.77

(2)	Includes stabilized malls, associated centers, community centers and office buildings.

Overall, leases in the third quarter of 2013 were signed at a 12.8% increase over the prior gross rent per square foot. Leases for stabilized malls signed during the quarter were signed at a 12.8% increase over the prior gross rent per square foot. New leases were up 26.1% compared to prior rents and renewal leasing spreads were also positive, increasing 9.5% over prior rents. Our leasing momentum continues with double-digit leasing spreads as both established and new retailers value space in our properties.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

In July 2013, we received an issuer default credit rating of BBB- with a stable outlook and a senior unsecured notes rating of BBB- from Fitch. In May 2013, we received a BBB- rating with a stable outlook from Moodys. We believe these investment grade ratings from Moody's and Fitch provide us with access to a broader range of corporate debt securities, leading to a more diversified and flexible balance sheet with a lower overall cost of capital. As of September 30, 2013, we had approximately $664.9 million outstanding on our combined credit facilities. Through our ATM equity offering program, we have raised approximately $209 million in net proceeds, which were used to reduce the balances on our credit facilities. In July 2013, we closed on a new $400.0 million unsecured term loan. Net proceeds from the term loan were used to reduce outstanding balances on our lines of credit, providing us with additional financing flexibility.

As discussed in Note 12 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, under the terms of the joint venture agreement for CWJV, we redeemed Westfield's preferred units in September 2013 using borrowings from our lines of credit.

We also sold three malls and three associated centers for a gross sales price of $176.0 million in August 2013.

We derive a majority of our revenues from leases with retail tenants, which historically have been the primary source for funding short-term liquidity and capital needs such as operating expenses; debt service; tenant construction allowances; recurring capital expenditures; equity for expansions, redevelopments and acquisitions; dividends; and distributions. We believe that the combination of cash flows generated from our operations, combined with our debt and equity sources and the availability under our lines of credit will, for the foreseeable future, provide adequate liquidity to meet our cash needs. In addition to these factors, we have options available to us to generate additional liquidity, including but not limited to, equity offerings, joint venture investments, issuances of noncontrolling interests in our Operating Partnership, decreasing expenditures related to tenant construction allowances and other capital expenditures, and paying dividends equal to the minimum amount required to maintain our REIT status. We also generate revenues from sales of peripheral land at our properties and from sales of real estate assets when it is determined that we can realize an optimal value for the assets.

Cash Flows From Operations

We had $74.6 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2013, a decrease of $3.7 million from December 31, 2012. Cash provided by operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, increased $16.4 million to $336.0 million from $319.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase is primarily attributable to higher NOI, lower interest expense and an $8.2 million partial litigation settlement.

Debt

The following tables summarize debt based on our pro rata ownership share, including our pro rata share of unconsolidated affiliates and excluding noncontrolling investors’ share of consolidated properties, because we believe this provides investors and lenders a clearer understanding of our total debt obligations and liquidity (in thousands):

(1)	Weighted-average interest rate includes the effect of debt premiums (discounts), but excludes amortization of deferred financing costs.


(2)	We have four interest rate swaps with notional amounts outstanding totaling $110,875 as of September 30, 2013 and $113,885 as of December 31, 2012 related to four of our variable-rate loans on operating properties to effectively fix the interest rates on these loans. Therefore, these amounts are reflected in fixed-rate debt at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.


(3)	This amount represents the noncontrolling partner's equity contribution related to Pearland Town Center that is accounted for as a financing due to certain terms of the CBL/T-C, LLC joint venture agreement.


(4)	We converted our secured line of credit to unsecured in February 2013.

As of September 30, 2013, $84.3 million of our pro rata share of consolidated and unconsolidated debt, excluding debt premiums, is scheduled to mature during the remainder of 2013. The $84.3 million consists of $27.3 million related to Columbia Place, $13.5 million for Lee's Summit and $43.5 related to two loans for West Melbourne. Subsequent to September 30, 2013, we sold the land parcel to the third party developer of Lee's Summit thereby terminating the ground lease and obtaining a release from the $13.5 million guarantee. We also extended the land loan and construction loans for West Melbourne to December 2013 while we work on refinancing these loans. We anticipate foreclosure on Columbia Place to be complete by the first quarter of 2014.

The weighted-average remaining term of our total share of consolidated and unconsolidated debt was 3.9 years at September 30, 2013 and 4.6 years at December 31, 2012. The weighted-average remaining term of our pro rata share of fixed-rate debt was 4.8 years and 5.2 years at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, our pro rata share of consolidated and unconsolidated variable-rate debt represented 26.5% and 19.8%, respectively, of our total pro rata share of debt. The increase is due to using availability on our lines of credit to retire higher fixed-rate debt as we grow our unencumbered asset pool. As of September 30, 2013, our share of consolidated and unconsolidated variable-rate debt represented 14.8% of our total market capitalization (see Equity below) as compared to 10.7% as of December 31, 2012.

We have three unsecured credit facilities that are used for retirement of secured loans, repayment of term loans, working capital, construction and acquisition purposes, as well as issuances of letters of credit.

Wells Fargo Bank NA serves as the administrative agent for a syndicate of financial institutions for our two unsecured $600.0 million credit facilities ("Facility A" and "Facility B"). Facility A matures in November 2015 and has a one-year extension option for an outside maturity date of November 2016. Facility B matures in November 2016 and has a one-year extension option for an outside maturity date of November 2017. The extension options on both facilities are at our election, subject to continued compliance with the terms of the facilities, and have a one-time extension fee of 0.20% of the commitment amount of each credit facility.

In the first quarter of 2013, we amended and restated our $105.0 million secured credit facility with First Tennessee Bank, NA. The facility was converted from secured to unsecured with a capacity of $100.0 million and a maturity date of February 2016.

Table of Contents

Prior to May 14, 2013, borrowings under our three unsecured lines of credit bore interest at LIBOR plus a spread ranging from 155 to 210 basis points based on our leverage ratio. We also paid annual unused facility fees, on a quarterly basis, at rates of either 0.25% or 0.30% based on any unused commitment of each facility. In May 2013, we obtained an investment grade rating from Moody's and, effective May 14, 2013, made a one-time irrevocable election to use our credit rating to determine the interest rate on each facility. Under the credit rating election, each facility now bears interest at LIBOR plus a spread of 100 to 175 basis points. In July 2013, we received an IDR of BBB- with a stable outlook and a senior unsecured notes rating of BBB- from Fitch. As of September 30, 2013, the interest rate based on our credit ratings from Moody's and Fitch is LIBOR plus 140 basis points. Additionally, we pay an annual facility fee that ranges from 0.15% to 0.35% of the total capacity of each facility rather than the unused commitment fees as described above. As of September 30, 2013, the annual facility fee is 0.30%. The three unsecured lines of credit had a weighted-average interest rate of 1.58% at September 30, 2013.

The following summarizes certain information about our unsecured lines of credit as of September 30, 2013 (in thousands):



	Total Capacity		Total Outstanding			Maturity Date	Extended Maturity Date
Facility A	$	600,000	$	509,525	⁽¹⁾	November 2015	November 2016
First Tennessee	100,000		31,000			February 2016	N/A
Facility B	600,000		124,383		⁽²⁾	November 2016	November 2017
	$	1,300,000	$	664,908

(1) There was an additional $475 outstanding on this facility as of September 30, 2013 for letters of credit. Up to $50,000 of the capacity on this facility can be used for letters of credit.

(2) There was an additional $617 outstanding on this facility as of September 30, 2013 for letters of credit. Up to $50,000 of the capacity on this facility can be used for letters of credit.

Unsecured Term Loans

In July 2013, we closed on a five-year $400.0 million unsecured term loan. Net proceeds from the term loan were used to reduce outstanding balances on our lines of credit. The loan bears interest at a variable rate of LIBOR plus 150 basis points based on our current credit ratings and has a maturity date of July 2018. At September 30, 2013, the outstanding borrowings of $400.0 million had an interest rate of 1.68%.

In the second quarter of 2013, we retired a $228.0 million unsecured term loan at its maturity date with borrowings from our credit facilities.

In the first quarter of 2013, under the terms of our amended and restated agreement with First Tennessee Bank, NA described above, we obtained a $50.0 million unsecured term loan that bears interest at LIBOR plus 190 basis points and matures in February 2018. At September 30, 2013, the outstanding borrowings of $50.0 million had a weighted-average interest rate of 2.08%.

Covenants and Restrictions

The agreements for our unsecured lines of credit and unsecured term loans contain, among other restrictions, certain financial covenants including the maintenance of certain financial coverage ratios, minimum net worth requirements, minimum unencumbered asset and interest ratios, maximum secured indebtedness and limitations on cash flow distributions. We believe we were in compliance with all covenants and restrictions at September 30, 2013.

The following presents our compliance with key unsecured debt covenant compliance ratios as of September 30, 2013:



Ratio	Required	Actual
Debt to total asset value	< 60%	52.7%
Ratio of unencumbered asset value to unsecured indebtedness	> 1.60x	2.43x
Ratio of unencumbered NOI to unsecured interest expense	> 1.75x	7.61x
Ratio of EBITDA to fixed charges (debt service)	> 1.50x	2.15x

result in certain changes in our ownership or structure as described under the heading “Change of Control/Change in Management” in the agreements for the credit facilities. Prior to the Company obtaining an investment grade rating in May 2013, our obligations under the agreements were unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by any subsidiary of the Company to the extent such subsidiary was a material subsidiary and was not otherwise an excluded subsidiary, as defined in the agreements. Once the Company obtained an investment grade rating, guarantees by material subsidiaries of the Company were no longer required by the agreements.

Several of our malls/open-air centers, associated centers and community centers, in addition to our corporate office building, are owned by special purpose entities that are included in the our condensed consolidated financial statements. The sole business purpose of the special purpose entities is to own and operate these properties. The real estate and other assets owned by these special purpose entities are restricted under the loan agreements in that they are not available to settle our other debts. However, so long as the loans are not under an event of default, as defined in the loan agreements, the cash flows from these properties, after payments of debt service, operating expenses and reserves, are available for distribution to us.

Mortgages on Operating Properties

In September 2013, we used our lines of credit to retire a $10.2 million recourse construction loan, which was secured by The Forum at Grandview in Madison, MS, at its September 2013 maturity date.

In July 2013, we retired a $16.0 million recourse construction loan, which was secured by Alamance Crossing West in Burlington, NC with borrowings from our credit facilities. The loan was scheduled to mature in December 2013.

In the second quarter of 2013, we closed on a three-year $11.4 million non-recourse loan secured by Statesboro Crossing in Statesboro, GA. The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 180 basis points. The loan matures in June 2016 and has two one-year extension options, which are at our election, for an outside maturity date of June 2018. Proceeds from the loan were used to pay down our credit facilities.

Also during the second quarter of 2013, we retired two loans with an aggregate principal balance of $160.2 million, including an $88.4 million loan secured by Mid Rivers Mall in St. Peters, MO and a $71.7 million loan secured by South County Center in St. Louis MO, with borrowings from our credit facilities. The Mid Rivers loan was scheduled to mature in May 2021 and bore interest at a fixed rate of 5.88%. We recorded an $8.9 million loss on extinguishment of debt related to the Mid Rivers loan, which consisted of an $8.7 million prepayment fee and $0.2 million of unamortized debt issuance costs. In connection with the prepayment of the South County Center loan, which was scheduled to mature in October 2013, we recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $0.2 million from the write-off of an unamortized discount.

In the first quarter of 2013, Renaissance Phase II CMBS, LLC closed on a $16.0 million 10-year non-recourse CMBS loan secured by Renaissance Center Phase II in Durham, NC. The loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.49% and matures in April 2023. Proceeds from the loan were used to retire a $15.7 million loan that was scheduled to mature in April 2013.

Also during the first quarter of 2013, CBL-Friendly Center CMBS, LLC closed on a $100.0 million 10-year non-recourse CMBS loan, secured by Friendly Center, located in Greensboro, NC. The loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.48% and matures in April 2023. Proceeds from the new loan were used to retire four existing loans aggregating $100.0 million that were secured by Friendly Center, Friendly Center Office Building, First National Bank Building, Green Valley Office Building, First Citizens Bank Building, Wachovia Office Building and Bank of America Building, all located in Greensboro, NC and scheduled to mature in April 2013.

In the first quarter of 2013, we retired two loans with an aggregate balance of $77.1 million, including a $13.5 million loan secured by Statesboro Crossing in Statesboro, GA and a $63.6 million loan secured by Westmoreland Mall in Greensburg, PA, with borrowings from our credit facilities. Both loans were scheduled to mature in the first quarter of 2013.

In the first quarter of 2012, the lender of the non-recourse mortgage loan secured by Columbia Place in Columbia, SC notified us that the loan had been placed in default. Columbia Place generates insufficient income levels to cover the debt service on the mortgage, which had a balance of $27.3 million at September 30, 2013 and a contractual maturity date of September 2013. The lender on the loan receives the net operating cash flows of the property each month in lieu of scheduled monthly mortgage payments. The servicer for the loan secured by Columbia Place is proceeding with foreclosure which we anticipate will occur by the first quarter of 2014.

In August 2013, the lender of the non-recourse mortgage loan secured by Citadel Mall in Charleston, SC sent a formal notice of default and initiated foreclosure proceedings. A foreclosure sale is scheduled to occur in January 2014. Citadel Mall generates insufficient income levels to cover the debt service on the mortgage, which had a balance of $68.3 million at September 30, 2013 and a contractual maturity date of April 2017. In the second quarter of 2013, the lender on the loan began receiving the net operating cash flows of the property each month in lieu of scheduled monthly mortgage payments.

Subsequent to September 30, 2013, Atlanta Outlet Shoppes, LLC closed on an $80.0 million 10-year non-recourse mortgage loan secured by The Outlet Shoppes at Atlanta, a 75/25 joint venture. The loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 4.9%. Proceeds from the loan were used to repay a $53.1 million recourse construction loan and, after deduction of remaining construction and tenant related costs, our share of the net proceeds of approximately $12.0 million was used to reduce outstanding balances on our lines of credit.

Construction Loans

In August 2013, Louisville Outlet Shoppes, LLC obtained a construction loan for the development of The Outlet Shoppes at Louisville that allows for borrowings up to $60.2 million and bears interest at LIBOR plus 200 basis points. The loan matures in August 2016 and has two one-year extension options, which are at the joint venture's election, for an outside maturity date of August 2018. We have guaranteed 100% of the loan. There were no amounts outstanding under this construction loan at September 30, 2013.

Subsequent to September 30, 2013, we repaid a $53.1 million recourse construction loan secured by The Outlet Shoppes at Atlanta using proceeds from a new $80.0 million 10-year non-recourse mortgage loan secured by The Outlet Shoppes at Atlanta. The construction loan had a principal balance of $49.6 million as of September 30, 2013. See above for additional information.

Equity

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we paid dividends of $145.9 million to holders of our common stock and our preferred stock, as well as $47.5 million in distributions to the noncontrolling interest investors in our Operating Partnership and other consolidated subsidiaries. The Operating Partnership paid an equivalent amount per unit to holders of common and preferred units.

On August 30, 2013, we announced a third quarter 2013 common stock dividend of $0.23 per share payable in cash that was paid on October 16, 2013. On May 31, 2013, we announced a second quarter 2013 common stock dividend of $0.23 per share payable in cash that was paid on July 16, 2013. On February 26, 2013, we announced a first quarter 2013 common stock dividend of $0.23 per share payable in cash that was paid on April 16, 2013. Future dividends payable will be determined by our Board of Directors based upon circumstances at the time of declaration.

As a publicly traded company and, as a subsidiary of a publicly traded company, we have access to capital through both the public equity and debt markets. We currently have a shelf registration statement on file with the SEC authorizing the Company to publicly issue senior and/or subordinated debt securities, shares of preferred stock (or depositary shares representing fractional interests therein), shares of common stock, warrants or rights to purchase any of the foregoing securities, and units consisting of two or more of these classes or series of securities and limited guarantees of debt securities issued by the Operating Partnership. Pursuant to the shelf registration statement, the Operating Partnership is also authorized to publicly issue

unsubordinated debt securities. There is no limit to the offering price or number of securities that we may issue under this shelf registration statement.

At-The-Market Equity Program

On March 1, 2013, we entered into Sales Agreements with a number of sales agents to sell shares of our common stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $300.0 million, from time to time through an ATM program. In accordance with the Sales Agreements, we will set the parameters for the sales of shares, including the number of shares to be issued, the time period during which sales are to be made and any minimum price below which sales may not be made. The Sales Agreements provide that the sales agents will be entitled to compensation for their services at a mutually agreed commission rate not to exceed 2.0% of the gross proceeds from the sales of shares sold through the ATM program. We include only share issuances that have settled in our calculation of shares outstanding at the end of each period. The following table summarizes issuances of common stock sold through the ATM program since inception through September 30, 2013 (dollars in thousands, except stock prices):



	Number of Shares Settled	Gross Proceeds		Net Proceeds		Weighted-average Sales Price
2013:
First quarter	1,889,105	$	44,459	$	43,904	$	23.53
Second quarter	6,530,193	167,034		165,692		25.58
Third quarter	—	—		—		—
Total	8,419,298	$	211,493	$	209,596	$	25.12

The proceeds from these sales were used to reduce the balances on our unsecured lines of credit. Since the commencement of the ATM program, the Company has issued 8,419,298 shares of common stock and approximately $88.5 million remains available that may be sold under this program. Actual future sales will depend on a variety of factors including but not limited to market conditions, the trading price of the Company's common stock and the Company's capital needs. The Company has no obligation to sell the remaining shares available under the ATM program.

Debt-To-Total Market Capitalization

Our strategy is to maintain a conservative debt-to-total-market capitalization ratio in order to enhance our access to the broadest range of capital markets, both public and private. Based on our share of total consolidated and unconsolidated debt and the market value of equity, our debt-to-total-market capitalization (debt plus market value of equity) ratio was 55.7% at September 30, 2013, compared to 54.0% at September 30, 2012. Our debt-to-market capitalization ratio at September 30, 2013 was computed as follows (in thousands, except stock prices):



	Shares Outstanding	Stock Price⁽¹⁾		Value
Common stock and operating partnership units	199,451	$	19.10	$	3,809,514
7.375% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock	1,815	250.00		453,750
6.625% Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock	690	250.00		172,500
Total market equity				4,435,764
Company’s share of total debt				5,587,587
Total market capitalization				$	10,023,351
Debt-to-total-market capitalization ratio				55.7		%


(1)	Stock price for common stock and Operating Partnership units equals the closing price of our common stock on September 30, 2013. The stock prices for the preferred stock represent the liquidation preference of each respective series of preferred stock.

Capital Expenditures

Deferred maintenance expenditures are generally billed to tenants as common area maintenance expense, and most are recovered over a 5 to 15-year period. Renovation expenditures are primarily for remodeling and upgrades of malls, of which a portion is recovered from tenants over a 5 to 15-year period. We recover these costs through fixed amounts with annual increases or pro rata cost reimbursements based on the tenant’s occupied space. The following table summarizes these capital expenditures, including our share of unconsolidated affiliates' capital expenditures, for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same periods in 2012 (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2013		2012		2013		2012
Tenant allowances⁽¹⁾	$	14,796	$	12,696	$	36,410	$	39,080

Renovations	10,488		11,039		22,421		16,700

Deferred maintenance:

	$	36,998	$	36,853	$	77,280	$	86,830
(1) Tenant allowances related to renewal leases were not material for the periods presented.

We capitalized overhead of $0.8 million and $0.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $3.1 million and $2.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. We capitalized $1.3 million and $0.7 million of interest during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $3.2 million and $1.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Our 2013 renovation program includes upgrades at five of our malls. Renovations are scheduled to be completed in 2013 at Friendly Center in Greensboro, NC; Greenbrier Mall in Chesapeake, VA; Acadiana Mall in Lafayette, LA, Northgate Mall in Chattanooga, TN and Mid Rivers Mall in St. Peters, MO. Friendly Center's renovation will include updated walkway canopies and landscaping. Greenbrier Mall will receive a newly designed food court with new tables and chairs in addition to landscape improvements and other upgrades. The upgrades at Acadiana Mall will include updated entrances, a remodeled food court, new landscaping and other enhancements. The renovation at Northgate Mall will include exterior enhancements, new flooring and soft seating areas as well as ceiling and lighting upgrades. Mid Rivers Mall upgrades include new flooring and updated interior colors and paint. Our share of total anticipated net investment in these renovations as well as other less extensive renovations is approximately $29.9 million.

The terms of the joint venture that we formed with TIAA-CREF require us to fund certain capital expenditures related to parking decks at West County Center of approximately $26.4 million. As of September 30, 2013, we had funded $16.0 million of this amount leaving approximately $10.4 million to be funded.

Annual capital expenditures budgets are prepared for each of our properties that are intended to provide for all necessary recurring and non-recurring capital expenditures. We believe that property operating cash flows, which include reimbursements from tenants for certain expenses, will provide the necessary funding for these expenditures.

Dillard's will open a 126,000-square-foot store in Phase II of the Fremaux Town Center development. Equity for these developments has been funded with operating cash inflows and our credit facilities.

We have three mall expansions and two redevelopment projects under construction as of September 30, 2013. A 46,000-square-foot expansion of Cross Creek Mall is approximately 97% leased or committed and will provide additional space for new retailers including Chico's, LOFT, Men's Wearhouse and Reed's Jewelers. A 28,000-square-foot restaurant district featuring Bahama Breeze, Olive Garden and iHOP, is under construction at Volusia Mall in Daytona Beach, FL.

Joint Ventures

Louisville Outlet Shoppes, LLC

In the second quarter of 2013, we entered into a joint venture with a third party to develop, own and operate The Outlet Shoppes at Louisville located in Simpsonville, KY. Construction began in June 2013 with completion expected in summer 2014. We hold a 65% ownership interest in the joint venture.

Fremaux Town Center JV, LLC

In January 2013, we formed a 65/35 joint venture, Fremaux, to develop, own and operate Fremaux Town Center, a community center development located in Slidell, LA. Construction began in March 2013 with completion expected in July 2014. The partners contributed aggregate initial equity of $20.5 million on formation of Fremaux, of which our contribution was $18.5 million. Future required contributions will be funded on a 65/35 pro rata basis. In March 2013, Fremaux obtained a construction loan on the property that allows for borrowings up to $46.0 million and bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.125%. The loan matures in March 2016 and has two one-year extension options, which are at the joint venture's election, for an outside maturity date of March 2018. We guaranteed 100% of the construction loan. As of September 30, 2013, $11.4 million was outstanding under the loan. We account for our investment in Fremaux using the equity method of accounting as of September 30, 2013.

Dispositions

In the third quarter of 2013, we sold three malls and three associated centers in a portfolio sale for aggregate net proceeds of $172.0 million and in the first quarter of 2013, we sold five office buildings for aggregate net proceeds of $43.5 million. See Note 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information. Net proceeds from these sales were used to reduce the outstanding borrowings on our credit facilities.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Unconsolidated Affiliates

We have ownership interests in 17 unconsolidated affiliates as of September 30, 2013 that are described in Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. The unconsolidated affiliates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting and are reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as “Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates.” The following are circumstances when we may consider entering into a joint venture with a third party:

•

Third parties may approach us with opportunities in which they have obtained land and performed some pre-development activities, but they may not have sufficient access to the capital resources or the development and leasing expertise to bring the project to fruition. We enter into such arrangements when we determine such a project is viable and we can achieve a satisfactory return on our investment. We typically earn development fees from the joint venture and provide management and leasing services to the property for a fee once the property is placed in operation.

•

We determine that we may have the opportunity to capitalize on the value we have created in a property by selling an interest in the property to a third party. This provides us with an additional source of capital that can be used to develop or acquire additional real estate assets that we believe will provide greater potential for growth. When we retain an interest in an asset rather than selling a 100% interest, it is typically because this allows us to continue to manage the property, which provides us the ability to earn fees for management, leasing, development and financing services provided to the joint venture.

Preferred Joint Venture Units

In September 2013, we redeemed all outstanding perpetual PJV units of our CWJV joint venture with Westfield using availability on our lines of credit. The PJV units, originally issued in 2007 as part of the acquisition of four malls in St. Louis, MO by CWJV, were redeemed for $413.0 million, which consisted of $408.6 million for the PJV units and $4.4 million for accrued and unpaid preferred return. See Note 12 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Guarantees

We may guarantee the debt of a joint venture primarily because it allows the joint venture to obtain funding at a lower cost than could be obtained otherwise. This results in a higher return for the joint venture on its investment, and a higher return on our investment in the joint venture. We may receive a fee from the joint venture for providing the guaranty. Additionally, when we issue a guaranty, the terms of the joint venture agreement typically provide that we may receive indemnification from the joint venture or have the ability to increase our ownership interest.

We owned a parcel of land in Lee’s Summit, MO that we ground leased to a third party development company. The third party developed and operates a shopping center on the land parcel. We guaranteed 27% of the loans of which the maximum guaranteed amount, representing 27% of capacity, is approximately $14.9 million. The total amount outstanding at September 30, 2013 on the loans was $49.8 million of which we had guaranteed $13.5 million. We included an obligation of $0.2 million as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets to reflect the estimated fair value of the guaranty. Subsequent to September 30, 2013, we were released from our guarantee upon the sale of the land parcel to the third party and the termination of the related ground lease. See Note 16 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

We have guaranteed 100% of the construction and land loans of West Melbourne, an unconsolidated affiliate in which we own a 50% interest, of which the maximum guaranteed amount is $43.6 million. West Melbourne developed and operates Hammock Landing, a community center in West Melbourne, FL. The total amount outstanding on the loans at September 30, 2013 was $43.6 million. The guaranty will expire upon repayment of the debt. The land loan, and the construction loan, representing $2.7 million and $40.9 million, respectively, of the amount outstanding at September 30, 2013, mature in November 2013. The construction loan has a one-year extension option available. We included an obligation of $0.5 million in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 to reflect the estimated fair value of this guaranty. Subsequent to September 30, 2013, our guaranty on West Melbourne was reduced from 100% to 25% and we extended both loans to December 2013 while we work on refinancing.

We have guaranteed 100% of the construction loan of Port Orange, an unconsolidated affiliate in which we own a 50% interest, of which the maximum guaranteed amount is $62.5 million. Port Orange developed and operates The Pavilion at Port Orange, a community center in Port Orange, FL. The total amount outstanding at September 30, 2013 on the loan was $62.5 million. The guaranty will expire upon repayment of the debt. The loan matures in March 2014 and has a one-year extension option available. We included an obligation of $1.0 million in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 to reflect the estimated fair value of this guaranty. Subsequent to September 30, 2013, our guaranty on Port Orange was reduced from 100% to 25%,

We have guaranteed the lease performance of YTC, an unconsolidated affiliate in which we own a 50% interest, under the terms of an agreement with a third party that owns property as part of York Town Center. Under the terms of that agreement, YTC is obligated to cause performance of the third party’s obligations as landlord under its lease with its sole tenant, including, but not limited to, provisions such as co-tenancy and exclusivity requirements. Should YTC fail to cause performance, then the tenant under the third party landlord’s lease may pursue certain remedies ranging from rights to terminate its lease to receiving reductions in rent. We have guaranteed YTC’s performance under this agreement up to a maximum of $22.0 million, which decreases by $0.8 million annually until the guaranteed amount is reduced to $10.0 million. The guaranty expires on December 31, 2020. The maximum guaranteed obligation was $17.2 million as of September 30, 2013. We entered into an agreement with our joint venture partner under which the joint venture partner has agreed to reimburse us 50% of any amounts we are obligated to fund under the guaranty. We did not include an obligation for this guaranty because we determined that the fair value of the guaranty was not material as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

We have guaranteed 100% of a term loan for Gulf Coast, an unconsolidated affiliate in which we own a 50% interest, of which the maximum guaranteed amount is $6.4 million. The loan is for the third phase expansion of Gulf Coast Town Center, a shopping center located in Ft. Myers, FL. The total amount outstanding at September 30, 2013 on the loan was $6.4 million. The guaranty will expire upon repayment of the debt. The loan matures in July 2015. We did not include an obligation for this guaranty because we determined that the fair value of the guaranty was not material as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

In March 2013, we guaranteed 100% of a construction loan for Fremaux, an unconsolidated affiliate in which we own a 65% interest, of which the maximum guaranteed amount is $46.0 million. The loan is for the development of Fremaux Town Center, a community center located in Slidell, LA. The total amount outstanding at September 30, 2013 on the loan was $11.4 million. The guaranty will expire upon repayment of the debt. The loan matures in March 2016 and has two one-year extension options for an outside maturity date of March 2018. We received a 1% fee for this guaranty when the loan was issued in March 2013 and have included an obligation of $0.5 million in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2013 to reflect the estimated fair value of this guaranty.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. The following discussion describes our most critical accounting policies, which are those that are both important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations and that require significant judgment or use of complex estimates.

Revenue Recognition

Minimum rental revenue from operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the initial terms of the related leases. Certain tenants are required to pay percentage rent if their sales volumes exceed thresholds specified in their lease agreements. Percentage rent is recognized as revenue when the thresholds are achieved and the amounts become determinable.

We receive reimbursements from tenants for real estate taxes, insurance, common area maintenance, and other recoverable operating expenses as provided in the lease agreements. Tenant reimbursements are recognized as revenue in the period the related operating expenses are incurred. Tenant reimbursements related to certain capital expenditures are billed to tenants over periods of 5 to 15 years and are recognized as revenue in accordance with underlying lease terms.

We receive management, leasing and development fees from third parties and unconsolidated affiliates. Management fees are charged as a percentage of revenues (as defined in the management agreement) and are recognized as revenue when earned. Development fees are recognized as revenue on a pro rata basis over the development period. Leasing fees are charged for newly executed leases and lease renewals and are recognized as revenue when earned. Development and leasing fees received from unconsolidated affiliates during the development period are recognized as revenue to the extent of the third-party partners’ ownership interest. Fees to the extent of our ownership interest are recorded as a reduction to our investment in the unconsolidated affiliate.

Gains on sales of real estate assets are recognized when it is determined that the sale has been consummated, the buyer’s initial and continuing investment is adequate, our receivable, if any, is not subject to future subordination, and the buyer has assumed the usual risks and rewards of ownership of the asset. When we have an ownership interest in the buyer, gain is recognized to the extent of the third party partner’s ownership interest and the portion of the gain attributable to our ownership interest is deferred.

Real Estate Assets

We capitalize predevelopment project costs paid to third parties. All previously capitalized predevelopment costs are expensed when it is no longer probable that the project will be completed. Once development of a project commences, all direct costs incurred to construct the project, including interest and real estate taxes, are capitalized. Additionally, certain general and administrative expenses are allocated to the projects and capitalized based on the amount of time applicable personnel work on the development project. Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Major replacements and improvements are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives.

All acquired real estate assets are accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting and accordingly, the results of operations are included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations from the respective dates of acquisition. The purchase price is allocated to (i) tangible assets, consisting of land, buildings and improvements, as if vacant, and tenant improvements and (ii) identifiable intangible assets and liabilities generally consisting of above- and below-market leases and in-place leases. We use estimates of fair value based on estimated cash flows, using appropriate discount rates, and other valuation methods to allocate the purchase price to the acquired tangible and intangible assets. Liabilities assumed generally consist of mortgage debt on the real estate assets acquired. Assumed debt with a stated interest rate that is significantly different from market interest rates is recorded at its fair value based on estimated market interest rates at the date of acquisition.

Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over estimated lives of 40 years for buildings, 10 to 20 years for certain improvements and 7 to 10 years for equipment and fixtures. Tenant improvements are capitalized and depreciated on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease. Lease-related intangibles from acquisitions of real estate assets are amortized over the remaining terms of the related leases. The amortization of above- and below-market leases is recorded as an adjustment to minimum rental revenue, while the amortization of all other lease-related intangibles is recorded as amortization expense. Any difference between the face value of the debt assumed and its fair value is amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the debt using the effective interest method.

Carrying Value of Long-Lived Assets

We periodically evaluate long-lived assets to determine if there has been any impairment in their carrying values and record impairment losses if the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than their carrying amounts or if there are other indicators of impairment. If it is determined that impairment has occurred, the amount of the impairment charge is equal to the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its estimated fair value. We estimate fair value using the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by each property, which are based on a number of assumptions such as leasing expectations, operating budgets, estimated useful lives, future maintenance expenditures, intent to hold for use and capitalization rates, among others. These

Table of Contents

assumptions are subject to economic and market uncertainties including, but not limited to, demand for space, competition for tenants, changes in market rental rates and costs to operate each property. As these factors are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter our assumptions, the future cash flows estimated in our impairment analyses may not be achieved. See Note 3 and Note 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for impairment of long-lived assets for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We periodically perform a detailed review of amounts due from tenants and others to determine if accounts receivable balances are impaired based on factors affecting the collectibility of those balances. Our estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts requires significant judgment about the timing, frequency and severity of collection losses, which affects the allowance and net income. We recorded a provision for doubtful accounts of $1.0 million and $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates

We evaluate our joint venture arrangements to determine whether they should be recorded on a consolidated basis. The percentage of ownership interest in the joint venture, an evaluation of control and whether a VIE exists are all considered in the consolidation assessment.

Initial investments in joint ventures that are in economic substance a capital contribution to the joint venture are recorded in an amount equal to our historical carryover basis in the real estate contributed. Initial investments in joint ventures that are in economic substance the sale of a portion of our interest in the real estate are accounted for as a contribution of real estate recorded in an amount equal to our historical carryover basis in the ownership percentage retained and as a sale of real estate with profit recognized to the extent of the other joint venturers’ interests in the joint venture. Profit recognition assumes that we have no commitment to reinvest with respect to the percentage of the real estate sold and the accounting requirements of the full accrual method are met.

We account for our investment in joint ventures where we own a noncontrolling interest or where we are not the primary beneficiary of a VIE using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, our cost of investment is adjusted for our share of equity in the earnings of the unconsolidated affiliate and reduced by distributions received. Generally, distributions of cash flows from operations and capital events are first made to partners to pay cumulative unpaid preferences on unreturned capital balances and then to the partners in accordance with the terms of the joint venture agreements.

Any differences between the cost of our investment in an unconsolidated affiliate and our underlying equity as reflected in the unconsolidated affiliate’s financial statements generally result from costs of our investment that are not reflected on the unconsolidated affiliate’s financial statements, capitalized interest on our investment and our share of development and leasing fees that are paid by the unconsolidated affiliate to us for development and leasing services provided to the unconsolidated affiliate during any development periods. The net difference between our investment in unconsolidated affiliates and the underlying equity of unconsolidated affiliates is generally amortized over a period of 40 years.

On a periodic basis, we assess whether there are any indicators that the fair value of our investments in unconsolidated affiliates may be impaired. An investment is impaired only if our estimate of the fair value of the investment is less than the carrying value of the investment, and such decline in value is deemed to be other than temporary. To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss is measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the investment over the fair value of the investment. Our estimates of fair value for each investment are based on a number of assumptions such as future leasing expectations, operating forecasts, discount rates and capitalization rates, among others. These assumptions are subject to economic and market uncertainties including, but not limited to, demand for space, competition for tenants, changes in market rental rates, and operating costs. As these factors are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter our assumptions, the fair values estimated in the impairment analyses may not be realized.

No impairments of investments in unconsolidated affiliates were incurred during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Guidance Adopted

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02. The objective of ASU 2013-02 is to improve reporting of reclassifications out of AOCI by presenting information about such reclassifications and their corresponding effect on net income primarily in one place, either on the face of the financial statements or in the notes. ASU 2013-02 requires an entity to disclose information by component for significant amounts reclassified out of AOCI if the amounts reclassified are required to be reclassified under GAAP to net income in their entirety in the same reporting period. For amounts not required under GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional details about those amounts. For public companies, this guidance was effective on a prospective basis for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2012. ASU 2013-02 did not change the calculation of or amounts reported as net income and comprehensive income but did change the presentation of the components of AOCI reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-10. ASU 2013-10 permits the OIS Rate, also referred to as the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate, to be used as a U.S. benchmark for hedge accounting purposes, in addition to LIBOR and interest rates on direct U.S. Treasury obligations. The guidance also removes the restriction on using different benchmarks for similar hedges. ASU 2013-10 is effective prospectively for qualifying new or redesignated hedges entered into on or after July 17,2013. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Effective

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-04. ASU 2013-04 addresses the diversity in practice related to the recognition, measurement and disclosure of certain obligations which are not addressed within existing GAAP guidance. Such obligations under the scope of ASU 2013-04 include debt arrangements, other contractual obligations, settled litigation and judicial rulings. The guidance requires an entity to measure these joint and several obligations as the sum of the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors as well as any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. ASU 2013-04 also requires an entity to disclose information about the nature and amount of these obligations. For public companies, ASU 2013-04 is effective on a retrospective basis for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. We may elect to use hindsight for the comparative periods (if we change our accounting as a result of the adoption of this guidance). Early adoption is permitted. We are evaluating the impact that this update may have on our consolidated financial statements.

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11. The objective of this update is to reduce the diversity in practice related to the presentation of certain unrecognized tax benefits. ASU 2013-11 provides that unrecognized tax benefits are to be presented as a reduction of a deferred tax asset for an NOL carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward when settlement in this manner is available under the governing tax law. To the extent such an NOL carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the governing tax law to settle taxes that would result from the disallowance of the tax position or the entity does not intend to use the deferred tax asset for this purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit is to be recorded as a liability in the financial statements and should not be netted with a deferred tax asset. ASU 2013-11 is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013 and interim periods within those years. The guidance should be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date. Early adoption and retrospective application are permitted. We are evaluating the impact that this update may have on our consolidated financial statements.

Impact of Inflation/Deflation

Deflation can result in a decline in general price levels, often caused by a decrease in the supply of money or credit. The predominant effects of deflation are high unemployment, credit contraction and weakened consumer demand. Restricted lending practices could impact our ability to obtain financings or refinancings for our properties and our tenants’ ability to obtain credit. Decreases in consumer demand can have a direct impact on our tenants and the rents we receive.

During inflationary periods, substantially all of our tenant leases contain provisions designed to mitigate the impact of inflation. These provisions include clauses enabling us to receive percentage rent based on tenants' gross sales, which generally increase as prices rise, and/or escalation clauses, which generally increase rental rates during the terms of the leases. In addition, many of the leases are for terms of less than 10 years, which may provide us the opportunity to replace existing leases with new leases at higher base and/or percentage rent if rents of the existing leases are below the then existing market rate. Most of the leases require the tenants to pay a fixed amount, subject to annual increases, for their share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes, insurance and certain capital expenditures, which reduces our exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation.

Funds From Operations

Funds from Operations ("FFO") is a widely used measure of the operating performance of real estate companies that supplements net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) defines FFO as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding gains or losses on sales of depreciable operating properties and impairment losses of depreciable properties, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures and noncontrolling interests. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures and noncontrolling interests are calculated on the same basis. We define FFO allocable to common shareholders as defined above by NAREIT less dividends on preferred stock. Our method of calculating FFO allocable to common shareholders may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs.

We believe that FFO provides an additional indicator of the operating performance of our properties without giving effect to real estate depreciation and amortization, which assumes the value of real estate assets declines predictably over time. Since values of well-maintained real estate assets have historically risen with market conditions, we believe that FFO enhances investors’ understanding of our operating performance. The use of FFO as an indicator of financial performance is influenced not only by the operations of our properties and interest rates, but also by our capital structure.

We present both FFO of our Operating Partnership and FFO allocable to common shareholders, as we believe that both are useful performance measures. We believe FFO of our Operating Partnership is a useful performance measure since we conduct substantially all of our business through our Operating Partnership and, therefore, it reflects the performance of the properties in absolute terms regardless of the ratio of ownership interests of our common shareholders and the noncontrolling interest in our Operating Partnership. We believe FFO allocable to common shareholders is a useful performance measure because it is the performance measure that is most directly comparable to net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders.

In our reconciliation of net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders to FFO allocable to common shareholders that is presented below, we make an adjustment to add back noncontrolling interest in income (loss) of our Operating Partnership in order to arrive at FFO of our Operating Partnership. We then apply a percentage to FFO of our Operating Partnership to arrive at FFO allocable to common shareholders. The percentage is computed by taking the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period and dividing it by the sum of the weighted-average number of common shares and the weighted-average number of Operating Partnership units held by noncontrolling interests during the period.

FFO does not represent cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP, is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow needs and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) for purposes of evaluating our operating performance or to cash flow as a measure of liquidity.

We received a partial legal settlement of $8.2 million in the third quarter of 2013 which is recorded in Interest and Other Income in the condensed consolidated financial statements. In the second quarter of 2013, we recorded a $2.4 million gain when a note related to our China investment, of which a portion was written down to its estimated fair value in 2009, was repaid in May 2013. We also recorded a $9.1 million loss on extinguishment of debt in the second quarter of 2013 due to the early retirement of debt on loans secured by two malls. Considering the significance and nature of these items, we believe it is important to identify the impact of these changes on our FFO measures for a reader to have a complete understanding of our results of operations. Therefore, we have also presented FFO, as adjusted, excluding these items.

FFO of the Operating Partnership increased to $110.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $101.8 million in the prior-year period. Excluding the legal settlement, gain on investment and loss on extinguishment of debt, FFO of the Operating Partnership, as adjusted, for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $102.5 million as compared to $101.7 million and $310.8 million as compared to $294.8 million, respectively. FFO was positively impacted by continued improvements in occupancy, new development, recent acquisitions and lower interest expense.

ITEM 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to various market risk exposures, including interest rate risk. The following discussion regarding our risk management activities includes forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainties. Estimates of future performance and economic conditions are reflected assuming certain changes in interest and foreign exchange rates. Caution should be used in evaluating our overall market risk from the information presented below, as actual results may differ. We employ various derivative programs to manage certain portions of our market risk associated with interest rates. See Note 6 of the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussions of the qualitative aspects of market risk, including derivative financial instrument activity.

Interest Rate Risk

Based on our proportionate share of consolidated and unconsolidated variable-rate debt at September 30, 2013, a 0.5% increase or decrease in interest rates on variable-rate debt would decrease or increase annual cash flows by approximately $7.4 million and $2.7 million, respectively, and increase or decrease annual interest expense, after the effect of capitalized interest, by approximately $7.3 million and $2.5 million, respectively.

ITEM 4: Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, an evaluation was performed under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and with the participation of our management, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's and the Operating Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company's and the Operating Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information that the Company and the Operating Partnership are required to disclose in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and to ensure that information we are required to disclose is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in the Company's or the Operating Partnership's internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1: Legal Proceedings

We are currently involved in certain litigation that arises in the ordinary course of business, most of which is expected to be covered by liability insurance. Based on current expectations, such matters, both individually and in the aggregate, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, results of operations, business or financial condition.

In August 2013, TPD received a partial settlement of $8.2 million from certain of the defendants in the matter described in Note 12 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. Litigation continues with other defendants in the matter. There have been no other material developments during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 in the matters described in "Part I, Item 3 - Legal Proceedings" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risks that could materially affect our business, financial condition or results of operations that are discussed under the caption “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. There have been no material changes to such risk factors since the filing of our Annual Report with the exception of the risk factors listed below, which have been updated to reflect risks associated with our investment grade ratings obtained in 2013.

The market price of our common stock or other securities may fluctuate significantly.

The market price of our common stock or other securities may fluctuate significantly in response to many factors, including:


•	actual or anticipated variation in our operating results, funds from operations, cash flows or liquidity;


•	changes in our earnings estimates or those of analysts;


•	changes in our dividend policy;


•	impairment charges affecting the carrying value of one or more of our properties or other assets;


•	publication of research reports about us, the retail industry or the real estate industry generally;


•	increases in market interest rates that lead purchasers of our securities to seek higher dividend or interest rate yields;


•	changes in market valuations of similar companies;


•	adverse market reaction to the amount of our outstanding debt at any time, the amount of our maturing debt in the near and medium term and our ability to refinance such debt and the terms thereof or our plans to incur additional debt in the future;


•	additions or departures of key management personnel;


•	actions by institutional security holders;

Table of Contents


•	proposed or adopted regulatory or legislative changes or developments;


•	speculation in the press or investment community;


•	changes in our credit ratings;


•	the occurrence of any of the other risk factors included in, or incorporated by reference in, this report; and


•	general market and economic conditions.

Many of the factors listed above are beyond our control. Those factors may cause the market price of our common stock or other securities to decline significantly, regardless of our financial performance and condition and prospects. It is impossible to provide any assurance that the market price of our common stock or other securities will not fall in the future, and it may be difficult for holders to sell such securities at prices they find attractive, or at all.

Adverse changes in our credit rating could negatively affect our borrowing costs and financing ability.

In May 2013, we received an investment grade rating of Baa3 with a stable outlook from Moody's. In July 2013, we also received an IDR of BBB- with a stable outlook and a senior unsecured notes rating of BBB- from Fitch. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain these ratings. In conjunction with the receipt of our May 2013 rating from Moody's, we made a one-time irrevocable election to use our credit rating to determine the interest rate on our three unsecured credit facilities. With this election and so long as we maintain a Baa3 rating with Moody's or a BBB- rating from Fitch, borrowings under our three unsecured credit facilities bear interest at LIBOR plus 140 basis points. If both of our credit ratings decline, the interest rate on our unsecured credit facilities would bear interest at LIBOR plus 175 basis points, which would increase our borrowing costs. Additionally, a downgrade in our credit ratings may adversely impact our ability to obtain financing and limit our access to capital.
