 Forward-looking Statements and Non-GAAP Financial Measures  Some of the statements in this presentation constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Such statements can generally be identified by such words as “anticipate”, “believe”, “can”, “continue”, “could”, “estimate”, “expect”, “intend”, “may”, “plan”, “seek”, “should”, “will” or variations of such words or other similar expressions and the negatives of such words. All statements included in this report that address activities, events or developments that we expect, believe or anticipate will or may occur in the future, including such matters as future capital expenditures, dividends and acquisitions (including the amount and nature thereof), business strategies, expansion and growth of our operations and other such matters, are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by us in light of our experience and our perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors we believe are appropriate. Such statements are inherently subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which cannot be predicted with accuracy and some of which might not even be anticipated. Future events and actual results, performance or achievements, financial and otherwise, may differ materially from the results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Risks, uncertainties and other factors that might cause such differences, some of which could be material, include, but are not limited to: negative impacts from the continued spread of COVID-19, including on the U.S. or global economy or on our business, financial position or results of operations; economic and other market conditions, including real estate and market conditions, as well as inflationary pressures, that could impact us, our properties or the financial stability of our tenants; consumer spending and confidence trends, as well as our ability to anticipate changes in consumer buying practices and the space needs of tenants; our relationships with our tenants and their financial condition and liquidity; any difficulties in renewing leases, filling vacancies or negotiating improved lease terms; the inability of our properties to generate increased, or even sufficient, revenues to offset expenses, including amounts we are required to pay to municipalities for real estate taxes, payments for common area maintenance expenses at our properties and salaries for our management team and other employees; the market value of our assets and the supply of, and demand for, retail real estate in which we invest; risks of real estate acquisitions and dispositions, including our ability to identify and acquire retail real estate that meet our investment standards in our markets, as well as the potential failure of transactions to close; risks of operating properties through joint ventures that we do not fully control; financing risks, such as the inability to obtain debt or equity financing on favorable terms or the inability to comply with various financial covenants included in our Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility (the "Facility") or other debt instruments we currently have or may subsequently obtain, as well as the level and volatility of interest rates, which could impact the market price of our common stock and the cost of our borrowings; environmental risk and regulatory requirements; risks related to our status as a real estate investment trust, including the application of complex federal income tax regulations that are subject to change; legislative and regulatory changes generally that may impact us or our tenants; as well as other risks identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021 under Item 1A. Risk Factors and in the other reports filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).This presentation may include references to certain non-GAAP financial measures.  Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures can be found in the Company’s earnings press releases and SEC reports, which are available on our website at www.ubproperties.com.

 Operating results   Funds from operations(a)  Same property net operating income(b)  Note: As of January 31, 2022. See non-GAAP reconciliations on slide 20. Management has adopted the definition suggested by The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) and defines FFO to mean net income (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding gains or losses from sales of property, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures.Same Property NOI excludes from Net Operating Income (“NOI”) properties that have not been owned for the full periods presented. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to NOI is operating income. To calculate NOI, operating income is adjusted to add back depreciation and amortization, general and administrative expense, interest expense, amortization of above and below-market lease intangibles and to exclude straight-line rent adjustments, interest, dividends and other investment income, equity in net income of unconsolidated joint ventures, and gain/loss on sale of operating properties.   4.2%  6.1%
