EPR PROPERTIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. Organization

Description of Business

EPR Properties (the Company) is a specialty real estate investment trust (REIT) organized on August 29, 1997 in Maryland. The Company develops, owns, leases and finances properties in select market segments primarily related to Entertainment, Education and Recreation. The Company’s properties are located in the United States and Canada.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. In addition, operating results for the six month period ended June 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016.

The Company consolidates certain entities when it is deemed to be the primary beneficiary in a variable interest entity (VIE) in which it has a controlling financial interest. A controlling financial interest will have both of the following characteristics: the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. This topic requires an ongoing reassessment.  The equity method of accounting is applied to entities in which the Company is not the primary beneficiary as defined in the Consolidation Topic of the FASB ASC, or does not have effective control, but can exercise influence over the entity with respect to its operations and major decisions.

The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015 has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on February 25, 2016.

Operating Segments

For financial reporting purposes, the Company groups its investments into four reportable operating segments: Entertainment, Education, Recreation and Other. See Note 14 for financial information related to these operating segments.

Rental Properties

Rental properties are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Costs incurred for the acquisition and development of the properties are capitalized. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which generally are estimated to be 30 to 40 years for buildings and 3 to 25 years for furniture, fixtures and equipment. Tenant improvements, including allowances, are depreciated over the shorter of the base term of the lease or the estimated useful life. Expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs are charged to operations in the period incurred. Significant renovations and improvements that improve or extend the useful life of the asset are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful life.

Management reviews a property for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a property may not be recoverable. The review of recoverability is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. If impairment exists due to the inability to recover

7

the carrying value of the property, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying value of the property exceeds its estimated fair value.

The Company evaluates the held-for-sale classification of its real estate as of the end of each quarter. Assets that are classified as held for sale are recorded at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Assets are generally classified as held for sale once management has initiated an active program to market them for sale and has received a firm purchase commitment that is expected to close within one year. On occasion, the Company will receive unsolicited offers from third parties to buy individual Company properties. Under these circumstances, the Company will classify the properties as held for sale when a sales contract is executed with no contingencies and the prospective buyer has funds at risk to ensure performance.

Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred financing costs are amortized over the terms of the related debt obligations or mortgage note receivable as applicable. The Company early adopted the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issue Costs, during 2015 and applied the guidance retrospectively. Deferred financing costs of $16.8 million and $18.3 million as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, are shown as a reduction of debt. The deferred financing costs related to our unsecured revolving credit facility are included in other assets.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company makes estimates of the collectability of its accounts receivable related to base rents, tenant escalations (straight-line rents), reimbursements and other income. The Company specifically analyzes trends in accounts receivable, historical bad debts, customer creditworthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of its allowance for doubtful accounts. When evaluating customer creditworthiness, management reviews the periodic financial statements for significant tenants and specifically evaluates the strength and material changes in net operating income, coverage ratios, leverage and other factors to assess the tenant's credit quality. In addition, when customers are in bankruptcy, the Company makes estimates of the expected recovery through bankruptcy claims and increases the allowance for amounts deemed uncollectible. These estimates have a direct impact on the Company's net income.

Revenue Recognition

Rents that are fixed and determinable are recognized on a straight-line basis over the minimum term of the leases. Base rent escalation on leases that are dependent upon increases in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) is recognized when known. In addition, most of the Company's tenants are subject to additional rents if gross revenues of the properties exceed certain thresholds defined in the lease agreements (percentage rents). Percentage rents as well as participating interest for those mortgage agreements that contain similar such clauses are recognized at the time when specific triggering events occur as provided by the lease or mortgage agreements. Rental revenue included percentage rents of $1.0 million and $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company recognized no participating interest income in mortgage and other financing income for both the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, mortgage and other financing income included a $3.6 million prepayment fee related to a mortgage note that was paid fully in advance of its maturity date.

Direct financing lease income is recognized on the effective interest method to produce a level yield on funds not yet recovered. Estimated unguaranteed residual values at the date of lease inception represent management's initial estimates of fair value of the leased assets at the expiration of the lease, not to exceed original cost. Significant assumptions used in estimating residual values include estimated net cash flows over the remaining lease term and expected future real estate values. The Company evaluates on an annual basis (or more frequently, if necessary) the collectability of its direct financing lease receivable and unguaranteed residual value to determine whether they are impaired. A direct financing lease receivable is considered to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the existing contractual terms. When a direct financing lease receivable is considered to be impaired, the amount of loss is calculated by comparing the recorded investment to the value determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at the direct financing lease receivable's effective interest rate or to the fair value of the underlying collateral, less costs to sell, if such receivable is collateralized.

Mortgage Notes and Other Notes Receivable

Mortgage notes and other notes receivable, including related accrued interest receivable, consist of loans originated by the Company and the related accrued and unpaid interest income as of the balance sheet date. Mortgage notes and other notes receivable are initially recorded at the amount advanced to the borrower and the Company defers certain loan origination and commitment fees, net of certain origination costs, and amortizes them over the term of the related loan. Interest income on performing loans is accrued as earned. The Company evaluates the collectability of both interest and principal of each of its loans to determine whether it is impaired. A loan is considered to be impaired when, based on current information and events, the Company determines that it is probable that it will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the existing contractual terms. An insignificant delay or shortfall in amounts of payments does not necessarily result in the loan being identified as impaired. When a loan is considered to be impaired, the amount of loss, if any, is calculated by comparing the recorded investment to the value determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at the loan’s effective interest rate or to the fair value of the Company’s interest in the underlying collateral, less costs to sell, if the loan is collateral dependent. For impaired loans, interest income is recognized on a cash basis, unless the Company determines based on the loan to estimated fair value ratio the loan should be on the cost recovery method, and any cash payments received would then be reflected as a reduction of principal. Interest income recognition is recommenced if and when the impaired loan becomes contractually current and performance is demonstrated to be resumed.

Concentrations of Risk

American Multi-Cinema, Inc. (AMC) is the lessee of a substantial portion (24%) of the megaplex theatre rental properties held by the Company at June 30, 2016 primarily as a result of a series of sale leaseback transactions pertaining to AMC megaplex theatres. A substantial portion of the Company’s total revenues (approximately $43.6 million or 18% and $42.7 million or 21%, for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively) results from the revenue from AMC under the leases or from its parent, AMC Entertainment, Inc. (AMCE) as the guarantor of AMC’s obligations under the leases. AMCE is wholly owned by AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (AMCEH). AMCEH is a publicly held company (NYSE: AMC) and its consolidated financial information is publicly available at www.sec.gov.

Share-Based Compensation

Share-based compensation to employees of the Company is granted pursuant to the Company's Annual Incentive Program and Long-Term Incentive Plan and share-based compensation to non-employee Trustees of the Company is granted pursuant to the Company's Trustee compensation program. Prior to May 12, 2016, share-based compensation granted to employees and non-employee Trustees were issued under the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan. The 2016 Equity Incentive Plan was approved by shareholders at the May 11, 2016 annual shareholder meeting and this plan replaces the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan. Accordingly, all share-based compensation granted on or after May 12, 2016 will be issued under the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan.

Share-based compensation expense consists of share option expense and amortization of nonvested share grants issued to employees, and amortization of share units issued to non-employee Trustees for payment of their annual retainers. Share-based compensation included in general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of income totaled $5.5 million and $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Share-based compensation included in retirement severance expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of income totaled $6.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and related to the retirement of the Company's former President and Chief Executive Officer.

Share Options

Share options are granted to employees pursuant to the Long-Term Incentive Plan. The fair value of share options granted is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Share options granted to employees vest over a period of four years and share option expense for these options is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Expense recognized related to share options and included in general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of income was $460 thousand and $550 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Expense recognized related to share options and included in retirement severance expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of income was $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and related to the retirement of the Company's former President and Chief Executive Officer.

Nonvested Shares Issued to Employees

The Company grants nonvested shares to employees pursuant to both the Annual Incentive Program and the Long-Term Incentive Plan. The Company amortizes the expense related to the nonvested shares awarded to employees under the Long-Term Incentive Plan and the premium awarded under the nonvested share alternative of the Annual Incentive Program on a straight-line basis over the future vesting period (three or four years). Expense recognized related to nonvested shares and included in general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of income was $4.5 million and $3.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Expense related to nonvested shares and included in retirement severance expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of income was $5.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and related to the retirement of the Company's former President and Chief Executive Officer.

Restricted Share Units Issued to Non-Employee Trustees

The Company issues restricted share units to non-employee Trustees for payment of their annual retainers under the Company's Trustee compensation program. The fair value of the share units granted was based on the share price at the date of grant. The share units vest upon the earlier of the day preceding the next annual meeting of shareholders or a change of control. The settlement date for the shares is selected by the non-employee Trustee, and ranges from one year from the grant date to upon termination of service. This expense is amortized by the Company on a straight-line basis over the year of service by the non-employee Trustees. Total expense recognized related to shares issued to non-employee Trustees was $533 thousand and $524 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Derivative Instruments

The Company has acquired certain derivative instruments to reduce exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and variable interest rates. The Company has established policies and procedures for risk assessment and the approval, reporting and monitoring of derivative financial instrument activities. These derivatives consist of foreign currency forward contracts, cross-currency swaps and interest rate swaps.

The Company records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. Derivatives may also be designated as hedges of the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk in a fair value hedge or the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge. The Company may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain of its risk, even though hedge accounting does not apply or the Company elects not to apply hedge accounting.

The Company's policy is to measure the credit risk of its derivative financial instruments that are subject to master netting agreements on a net basis by counterparty portfolio.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The ASU does not apply to revenue recognition for lease contracts. In April 2015, the FASB voted for a one-year deferral of the effective date of the new revenue recognition standard which was approved in July 2015. The new standard will become effective for the Company beginning with the first quarter 2018. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.

10

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, which amends existing accounting standards for lease accounting and is intended to improve financial reporting about lease transactions. The ASU will require lessees to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases. Lessor accounting will remain largely unchanged from current GAAP. The ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2016-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which amends ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. The objective of this amendment is part of the FASB's Simplification Initiative as it applies to several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification of cash flows. The effective date of the amendment is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently reviewing the ASU to assess the potential impact on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures but does not expect the adoption will have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which amends ASC Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. The standard changes the methodology for measuring credit losses on financial instruments and timing of when such losses are recorded. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

8. Variable Interest Entities

The Company’s variable interest in VIEs currently are in the form of equity ownership and loans provided by the Company to a VIE or other partner. The Company examines specific criteria and uses its judgment when determining

13

if the Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. Factors considered in determining whether the Company is the primary beneficiary include risk and reward sharing, experience and financial condition of other partner(s), voting rights, involvement in day-to-day capital and operating decisions, representation on a VIE’s executive committee, existence of unilateral kick-out rights or voting rights, and level of economic disproportionality between the Company and the other partner(s).

Consolidated VIEs

As of June 30, 2016, the Company had invested approximately $4.2 million in one real estate project which is a VIE. This entity does not have any significant assets and liabilities at June 30, 2016 and was established to facilitate the development of a theatre project.

Unconsolidated VIE

At June 30, 2016, the Company’s recorded investment in SVVI, a VIE that is unconsolidated, was $164.7 million. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss associated with SVVI is limited to the Company’s outstanding mortgage note of $164.7 million. While this entity is a VIE, the Company has determined that the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance is not held by the Company.

9. Derivative Instruments

All derivatives are recognized at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets within the line items "Other assets" and "Accounts payable and accrued liabilities" as applicable. The Company's derivatives are subject to a master netting arrangement and the Company has elected not to offset its derivative position for purposes of balance sheet presentation and disclosure. The Company had derivative liabilities of $9.7 million and $5.7 million recorded in “Accounts payable and accrued liabilities” and derivative assets of $31.9 million and $42.2 million recorded in “Other assets” in the consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Had the Company elected to offset derivatives in the consolidated balance sheet, the Company would have had a net derivative asset of $22.2 million and $36.5 million (with no derivative liability) at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.  The Company had not posted or received collateral with its derivative counterparties as of June 30, 2016 or December 31, 2015. See Note 10 for disclosures relating to the fair value of the derivative instruments as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives

The Company is exposed to certain risk arising from both its business operations and economic conditions including the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates on its LIBOR based borrowings. The Company manages this risk by following established risk management policies and procedures including the use of derivatives. The Company’s objective in using derivatives is to add stability to reported earnings and to manage its exposure to foreign exchange and interest rate movements or other identified risks. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps, cross-currency swaps and foreign currency forwards.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

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 on its LIBOR based borrowings. To accomplish this objective, the Company currently uses interest rate swaps as 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.

As of June 30, 2016, the Company had three interest rate swap agreements to fix the interest rate on $240.0 million of the unsecured term loan facility at 3.78% from January 5, 2016 to July 5, 2017.  Additionally as of June 30, 2016, the Company had two interest rate swap agreements to fix the interest rate at 2.94% on an additional $60.0 million of the unsecured term loan facility from September 8, 2015 to July 5, 2017 and on $300.0 million of the unsecured term loan facility from July 6, 2017 to April 5, 2019.

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of interest rate derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. During the six months ended June 30, 2016 and

14

2015, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with existing variable-rate debt. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings. No hedge ineffectiveness on cash flow hedges was recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.

Amounts reported in AOCI related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt. As of June 30, 2016, the Company estimates that during the twelve months ending June 30, 2017, $5.2 million will be reclassified from AOCI to interest expense.

Cash Flow Hedges of Foreign Exchange Risk

The Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange risk against its functional currency, USD, on its four Canadian properties. The Company uses cross currency swaps and foreign currency forwards to mitigate its exposure to fluctuations in the USD-CAD exchange rate on its Canadian properties. These foreign currency derivatives should hedge a significant portion of the Company's expected CAD denominated cash flow of the Canadian properties as their impact on the Company's cash flow when settled should move in the opposite direction of the exchange rates used to translate revenues and expenses of these properties.

As of June 30, 2016, the Company had a USD-CAD cross-currency swaps with a fixed original notional value of $100.0 million CAD and $98.1 million USD. The net effect of these swaps is to lock in an exchange rate of $1.05 CAD per USD on approximately $13.5 million of annual CAD denominated cash flows on the properties through June 2018.

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of foreign currency derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges of foreign exchange risk is recorded in AOCI and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivative, as well as amounts excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness, is recognized directly in earnings. No hedge ineffectiveness on foreign currency derivatives was recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. As of June 30, 2016, the Company estimates that during the twelve months ending June 30, 2017, $2.4 million of gains will be reclassified from AOCI to other income.

Net Investment Hedges

As discussed above, the Company is exposed to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on its four Canadian properties. As such, the Company uses currency forward agreements to hedge its exposure to changes in foreign exchange rates. Currency forward agreements involve fixing the USD-CAD exchange rate for delivery of a specified amount of foreign currency on a specified date. The currency forward agreements are typically cash settled in USD for their fair value at or close to their settlement date. In order to hedge the net investment in four of the Canadian properties, on June 13, 2013 the Company entered into a forward contract with a fixed notional value of $100.0 million CAD and $94.3 million USD with a July 2018 settlement. The exchange rate of this forward contract is approximately $1.06 CAD per USD. Additionally, on February 28, 2014, the Company entered into a forward contract with a fixed notional value of $100.0 million CAD and $88.1 million USD with a July 2018 settlement date. The exchange rate of this forward contract is approximately $1.13 CAD per USD. These forward contracts should hedge a significant portion of the Company’s CAD denominated net investment in these four centers through July 2018 as the impact on AOCI from marking the derivative to market should move in the opposite direction of the translation adjustment on the net assets of these four Canadian properties.

For foreign currency derivatives designated as net investment hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivatives are reported in AOCI as part of the cumulative translation adjustment. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings. No hedge ineffectiveness on net investment hedges was recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. Amounts are reclassified out of AOCI into earnings when the hedged net investment is either sold or substantially liquidated.

Below is a summary of the effect of derivative instruments on the consolidated statements of changes in equity and income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.

The Company has agreements with each of its interest rate derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if the Company defaults on any of its obligations for borrowed money or credit in an amount exceeding $25.0 million and such default is not waived or cured within a specified period of time, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then the Company could also be declared in default on its interest rate derivative obligations.

As of June 30, 2016, the fair value of the Company’s derivatives in a liability position related to these agreements was $9.6 million. If the Company breached any of the contractual provisions of these derivative contracts, it would be required to settle its obligations under the agreements at their termination value, after considering the right of offset, of $1.0 million.

10. Fair Value Disclosures

The Company has certain financial instruments that are required to be measured under the FASB’s Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures guidance. The Company currently does not have any non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the FASB’s Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that

16

are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy). Level 1 inputs use quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which are typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company uses interest rate swaps, foreign currency forwards and cross-currency swaps to manage its interest rate and foreign currency risk. The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves, foreign exchange rates, and implied volatilities. The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts and the discounted expected variable cash payments. The variable cash payments are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. The Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees. In conjunction with the FASB's fair value measurement guidance, the Company made an accounting policy election to measure the credit risk of its derivative financial instruments that are subject to master netting agreements on a net basis by counterparty portfolio.

Although the Company determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives also use Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads, to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. As of June 30, 2016, the Company assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives and therefore, classified its derivatives as Level 2 within the fair value reporting hierarchy.

The table below presents the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements are classified and by derivative type.

Non-recurring fair value measurements

There were no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Management compares the carrying value to the estimated fair value of the Company’s financial instruments. The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015:

Mortgage notes receivable and related accrued interest receivable:

The fair value of the Company’s mortgage notes and related accrued interest receivable is estimated by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument using current market rates. At June 30, 2016, the Company had a carrying value of $424.9 million in fixed rate mortgage notes receivable outstanding, including related accrued interest, with a weighted average interest rate of approximately 9.33%. The fixed rate mortgage notes bear interest at rates of 5.50% to 11.31%. Discounting the future cash flows for fixed rate mortgage notes receivable using rates of 8.00% to 11.31%, management estimates the fair value of the fixed rate mortgage notes receivable to be approximately $417.9 million with an estimated weighted average market rate of 10.02% at June 30, 2016.

At December 31, 2015, the Company had a carrying value of $423.8 million in fixed rate mortgage notes receivable outstanding, including related accrued interest, with a weighted average interest rate of approximately 9.36%. The fixed rate mortgage notes bear interest at rates of 5.50% to 11.31%. Discounting the future cash flows for fixed rate mortgage notes receivable using rates of 8.50% to 11.31%, management estimates the fair value of the fixed rate mortgage notes receivable to be $415.7 million with an estimated weighted average market rate of 10.05% at December 31, 2015.

Investment in a direct financing lease, net:

The fair value of the Company’s investment in a direct financing lease is estimated by discounting the future cash flows of the instrument using current market rates. At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had an investment in a direct financing lease with a carrying value of $188.4 million and $190.9 million, respectively, and a weighted average effective interest rate of 12.00% for both periods. The investment in a direct financing lease bears interest at effective interest rates of 11.74% to 12.38%. The carrying value of the investment in a direct financing lease approximated the fair market value at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Derivative instruments:

Derivative instruments are carried at their fair market value.

Debt instruments:

The fair value of the Company's debt is estimated by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument using current market rates. At June 30, 2016, the Company had a carrying value of $722.0 million in variable rate debt outstanding with a weighted average interest rate of approximately 2.46%. The carrying value of the variable rate debt outstanding approximated the fair market value at June 30, 2016.

At December 31, 2015, the Company had a carrying value of $571.0 million in variable rate debt outstanding with an average weighted interest rate of approximately 1.65%. The carrying value of the variable rate debt outstanding approximated the fair market value at December 31, 2015.

At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, $300.0 million of variable rate debt outstanding under the Company's unsecured term loan facility had been effectively converted to a fixed rate through April 5, 2019 by interest rate swap agreements.

At June 30, 2016, the Company had a carrying value of $1.39 billion in fixed rate long-term debt outstanding with a weighted average interest rate of approximately 5.65%. Discounting the future cash flows for fixed rate

18

debt using rates of 3.13% to 4.60%, management estimates the fair value of the fixed rate debt to be approximately $1.53 billion with an estimated weighted average market rate of 3.90% at June 30, 2016.

At December 31, 2015, the Company had a carrying value of $1.43 billion in fixed rate long-term debt outstanding with an average weighted interest rate of approximately 5.66%. Discounting the future cash flows for fixed rate debt using rates of 3.33% to 4.94%, management estimates the fair value of the fixed rate debt to be approximately $1.55 billion with an estimated weighted average market rate of 4.28% at December 31, 2015.

Net income available to common shareholders	$	42,814		57,446	$	0.75	$	79,683		57,408	$	1.39

The additional 2.0 million common shares that would result from the conversion of the Company’s 5.75% Series C cumulative convertible preferred shares and the additional 1.6 million common shares that would result from the conversion of the Company’s 9.0% Series E cumulative convertible preferred shares and the corresponding add-back of the preferred dividends declared on those shares are not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 because the effect is anti-dilutive.

The dilutive effect of potential common shares from the exercise of share options is included in diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. For the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, options to purchase 84 thousand and 313 thousand shares of common shares, respectively, at a per share price of $61.79 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and per share prices ranging from $51.64 to $65.50 for the three months ended June 30, 2015, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the options were anti-dilutive. For the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, options to purchase 85 thousand and 312 thousand shares of common shares, respectively, at a per share price of $61.79 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and per share prices ranging from $51.64 to $65.50 for the six months ended June 30, 2015, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the options were anti-dilutive.

12. Equity Incentive Plan

All grants of common shares and options to purchase common shares were issued under the Company's 2007 Equity Incentive Plan prior to May 12, 2016 and under the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan on and after May 12, 2016. Under the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan, an aggregate of 1,950,000 common shares, options to purchase common shares and restricted share units, subject to adjustment in the event of certain capital events, may be granted. At June 30, 2016, there were 1,950,000 shares available for grant under the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan.

20

Share Options

Share options granted under the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan and the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan have exercise prices equal to the fair market value of a common share at the date of grant. The options may be granted for any reasonable term, not to exceed 10 years, and for employees typically become exercisable at a rate of 25% per year over a four-year period. The Company generally issues new common shares upon option exercise. A summary of the Company’s share option activity and related information is as follows:

	Number of options		Option price per share					Weighted avg. exercise price
Outstanding at December 31, 2015	516,305		$	19.02	—	$	65.50	$	48.42
Exercised	(128,027	)	19.41		—	65.50		38.13
Outstanding at June 30, 2016	388,278		$	19.02	—	$	65.50	$	51.81

There were no options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2016. The weighted average fair value of options granted was $16.35 during the six months ended June 30, 2015. The intrinsic value of stock options exercised was $3.4 million and $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Additionally, the Company repurchased 86,337 shares into treasury shares in conjunction with the stock options exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2016 with a total value of $5.6 million. At June 30, 2016, stock-option expense to be recognized in future periods was $1.4 million.

The expense related to share options included in the determination of net income for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was $0.5 million and $1.9 million (including $1.4 million included in retirement severance expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of income), respectively. The following assumptions were used in applying the Black-Scholes option pricing model at the grant dates for the six months ended June 30, 2015: risk-free interest rate of 1.9%, dividend yield of 5.9%, volatility factors in the expected market price of the Company’s common shares of 48.0%, 0.78% expected forfeiture rate and an expected life of approximately six years. The Company uses historical data to estimate the expected life of the option and the risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Additionally, expected volatility is computed based on the average historical volatility of the Company’s publicly traded shares.

The following table summarizes outstanding options at June 30, 2016:

Exercise price range	Options outstanding	Weighted avg. life remaining	Weighted avg. exercise price		Aggregate intrinsic value  (in thousands)

Vested	(156,767	)	52.73
Forfeited	—		—
Outstanding at June 30, 2016	534,426		$	59.22	1.52

The holders of nonvested shares have voting rights and receive dividends from the date of grant. These shares vest ratably over a period of three to four years. The fair value of the nonvested shares that vested was $9.2 million and $17.1 million (including $6.7 million in retirement severance expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of income) for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. At June 30, 2016, unamortized share-based compensation expense related to nonvested shares was $21.8 million.

Restricted Share Units

A summary of the Company’s restricted share unit activity and related information is as follows:

	Number  of shares		Weighted avg. grant date fair value		Weighted avg. life remaining
Outstanding at December 31, 2015	18,036		$	57.57
Granted	15,805		70.93
Vested	(18,036	)	57.57
Outstanding at June 30, 2016	15,805		$	70.93	0.86

The holders of restricted share units receive dividend equivalents from the date of grant. The share units vest upon the earlier of the day preceding the next annual meeting of shareholders or a change of control. The settlement date for the shares is selected by the non-employee Trustee, and ranges from one year from the grant date to upon termination of service. At June 30, 2016, unamortized share-based compensation expense related to restricted share units was $934 thousand.

13. Other Commitments and Contingencies

As of June 30, 2016, the Company had an aggregate of approximately $340.0 million of commitments to fund development projects including 16 entertainment development projects for which it had commitments to fund approximately $77.3 million, 25 education development projects for which it had commitments to fund approximately $192.8 million, and seven recreation development projects for which it had commitments to fund approximately $69.9 million. Development costs are advanced by the Company in periodic draws. If the Company determines that construction is not being completed in accordance with the terms of the development agreement, it can discontinue funding construction draws. The Company has agreed to lease the properties to the operators at pre-determined rates upon completion of construction.

Additionally as of June 30, 2016, the Company had a commitment to fund approximately $120.0 million over the next three years, of which none has been funded, to complete an indoor waterpark hotel and adventure park at the Adelaar casino and resort project in Sullivan County, New York. The Company is also responsible for the construction of the casino and resort project common infrastructure. In June 2016, the Sullivan County Infrastructure Local Development Corporation issued $110.0 million of Series 2016 Revenue Bonds which is expected to fund a substantial portion of such construction costs. The Company received an initial reimbursement of $43.4 million of construction costs and

22

expects to receive an additional $44.9 million of reimbursements over the balance of the construction period. Construction of infrastructure improvements is expected to be completed in 2017.

The Company has certain commitments related to its mortgage note investments that it may be required to fund in the future. The Company is generally obligated to fund these commitments at the request of the borrower or upon the occurrence of events outside of its direct control. As of June 30, 2016, the Company had four mortgage notes receivable with commitments totaling approximately $14.3 million. If commitments are funded in the future, interest will be charged at rates consistent with the existing investments.

The Company has provided guarantees of the payment of certain economic development revenue bonds totaling $22.9 million related to two theatres in Louisiana for which the Company earns a fee at annual rates of 2.88% to 4.00% over the 30-year terms of the related bonds. The Company recorded $9.6 million as a deferred asset included in other assets and $9.6 million included in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2016 related to these guarantees. No amounts have been accrued as a loss contingency related to these guarantees because payment by the Company is not probable.

In connection with construction of its development projects and related infrastructure, certain public agencies require posting of surety bonds to guarantee that the Company's obligations are satisfied. These bonds expire upon the completion of the improvements or infrastructure. As of June 30, 2016, the Company had three surety bonds outstanding totaling $21.7 million.

Prior proposed casino and resort developers Concord Associates, L.P., Concord Resort, LLC and Concord Kiamesha LLC, which are affiliates of Louis Cappelli and from whom the Company acquired the Adelaar resort property (the Cappelli Group), commenced litigation against the Company beginning in 2011 regarding matters relating to the acquisition of that property and our relationship with the Empire Resorts, Inc. This litigation involves three separate cases filed in state and federal court.

The first case was filed on June 7, 2011 by the Cappelli Group in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Sullivan, against two subsidiaries of the Company. The Company obtained a summary judgment on June 30, 2014 in this case which was affirmed on appeal. As a result, this case is now closed.

The second case was filed on October 20, 2011 by the Cappelli Group against the Company and two of its affiliates in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Westchester (Westchester Action), asserting a claim for breach of contract and the implied covenant of good faith, and seeking damages of at least $800 million, based on the same allegations as in the action the Cappelli Group filed in Sullivan County Supreme Court. The Company moved to dismiss the Amended Complaint in Westchester County based on the Sullivan County Supreme Court’s June 30, 2014 decision (which has now been affirmed). On January 26, 2016, the Westchester County Supreme Court denied the Company's motion to dismiss but ordered the Cappelli Group to amend its pleading and remove all claims and allegations previously determined by the Sullivan County case (discussed above). On February 18, 2016, the Cappelli Group revised their amended complaint, which the Company believes remains deficient. On March 23, 2016, the Company filed with the Westchester County Supreme Court a motion to dismiss the Cappelli Group’s revised amended complaint. The motion is currently pending.

The third case was filed with the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the District Court) by Concord Associates L.P. and six other companies affiliated with Mr. Cappelli against the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, Empire Resorts, Inc. and Monticello Raceway Management, Inc. (collectively, Empire), and Kien Huat Realty III Limited and Genting New York LLC (collectively, Genting). The complaint alleged, among other things, that the Company had conspired with Empire to monopolize the racing and gaming market in the Catskills by entering into exclusivity and development agreements to develop a comprehensive resort destination in Sullivan County, New York. The plaintiffs were seeking $500 million in damages (trebled to $1.5 billion under antitrust law), punitive damages, and injunctive relief. On September 18, 2013, the District Court dismissed the complaint filed. Specifically, the District Court dismissed plaintiffs’ federal antitrust claims against all defendants with prejudice, and dismissed the pendent state law claims against Empire and Genting without prejudice, meaning they could be further pursued in state court. On October 2, 2013, the plaintiffs filed a motion for reconsideration with the District Court, seeking permission to file

23

a Second Amended Complaint, and soon after filed a Notice of Appeal. The District Court denied the motion for reconsideration in an Opinion and Order dated November 3, 2014, and the plaintiffs perfected their appeal in the Second Circuit on or about December 17, 2014. On March 18, 2016, the Second Circuit affirmed the District Court’s dismissal of the case in favor of the Company, Empire and Genting. The plaintiffs did not file a writ of certiorari seeking review by the Supreme Court of the United States within the required time period. As a result, this case is now closed.

The Company has not determined that losses related to the remaining Westchester Action are probable. In light of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of litigation generally, the Company does not have sufficient information to determine the amount or range of reasonably possible loss with respect to these matters. The Company’s assessments are based on estimates and assumptions that have been deemed reasonable by management, but that may prove to be incomplete or inaccurate, and unanticipated events and circumstances may occur that might cause the Company to change those estimates and assumptions. The Company intends to vigorously defend the claims asserted against the Company and certain of its subsidiaries by the Cappelli Group and its affiliates, for which the Company believes it has meritorious defenses, but there can be no assurances as to the outcome of the claims and related litigation.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto on this Form 10-Q of EPR Properties (“the Company”, “EPR”, “we” or “us”). The forward-looking statements included in this discussion and elsewhere on this Form 10-Q involve risks and uncertainties, including anticipated financial performance, business prospects, industry trends, shareholder returns, performance of leases by tenants, performance on loans to customers and other matters, which reflect management's best judgment based on factors currently known. See “Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements” which is incorporated herein by reference. Actual results and experience could differ materially from the anticipated results and other expectations expressed in our forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including but not limited to those discussed in this Item and Item 1A - “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 filed with the SEC on February 25, 2016.

Overview

Business

Our principal business objective is to enhance shareholder value by achieving predictable and increasing Funds From Operations ("FFO") and dividends per share. Our prevailing strategy is to focus on long-term investments in a limited number of categories in which we maintain a depth of knowledge and relationships, and which we believe offer sustained performance throughout all economic cycles. Our investment portfolio includes ownership of and long-term mortgages on entertainment, education and recreation properties. Substantially all of our owned single-tenant properties are leased pursuant to long-term, triple net leases, under which the tenants typically pay all operating expenses of the property. Tenants at our owned multi-tenant properties are typically required to pay common area maintenance charges to reimburse us for their pro-rata portion of these costs.

It has been our strategy to structure leases and financings to ensure a positive spread between our cost of capital and the rentals or interest paid by our tenants. We have primarily acquired or developed new properties that are pre-leased to a single tenant or multi-tenant properties that have a high occupancy rate. We have also entered into certain joint ventures and we have provided mortgage note financing. We intend to continue entering into some or all of these types of arrangements in the foreseeable future.

Historically, our primary challenges have been locating suitable properties, negotiating favorable lease or financing terms (on new or existing properties), and managing our portfolio as we have continued to grow. We believe our management’s knowledge and industry relationships have facilitated opportunities for us to acquire, finance and lease properties. Our business is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including those described in Item 1A - “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

As of June 30, 2016, our total assets were approximately $4.5 billion (after accumulated depreciation of approximately $0.6 billion) which included investments in each of our four operating segments with properties located in 37 states, the District of Columbia and Ontario, Canada.

• Our Entertainment segment included investments in 138 megaplex theatre properties, eight entertainment retail centers (which include eight additional megaplex theatre properties) and eight family entertainment centers. Our portfolio of owned entertainment properties consisted of 12.4 million square feet and was 98% leased, including megaplex theatres that were 100% leased. At June 30, 2016, there were seven development or redevelopment projects under construction in our Entertainment segment.

• Our Education segment included investments in 69 public charter school properties, three private schools and 21 early education centers. Our portfolio of owned education properties consisted of 4.5 million square feet and was 100% leased. At June 30, 2016, there were 26 development projects under construction in our Education segment.

• Our Recreation segment included investments in 11 metro ski parks, five waterparks and 20 golf entertainment complexes. Our portfolio of owned recreation properties was 100% leased. At June 30, 2016, there were ten development projects under construction in our Recreation segment.

38

• Our Other segment consisted primarily of land under lease, property under development and land held for development related to the Adelaar casino and resort project in Sullivan County, New York.

The combined owned portfolio consisted of 19.0 million square feet and was 99% leased. As of June 30, 2016, we had a total of approximately $301.6 million invested in property under development.

Our total investments (a non-GAAP financial measure) were approximately $4.9 billion at June 30, 2016. We define total investments as the sum of the carrying values of rental properties and rental properties held for sale (before accumulated depreciation), land held for development, property under development, mortgage notes receivable (including related accrued interest receivable), net, investment in a direct financing lease, net, investment in joint ventures, intangible assets (before accumulated amortization) and notes receivable and related accrued interest receivable. Total investments is a non-GAAP financial measure. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for the calculation of total investments and reconciliation of total investments to "Total assets" in the consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

For financial reporting purposes, we group our investments into four reportable operating segments: Entertainment, Education, Recreation and Other. Of our total investments of $4.9 billion at June 30, 2016, $2.6 billion or 53% related to our Entertainment segment, $1.1 billion or 22% related to our Education segment, $1.0 billion or 21% related to our Recreation segment and $179.0 million or 4% related to our Other segment.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions in certain circumstances that affect amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes. In preparing these financial statements, management has made its best estimates and assumptions that affect the reported assets and liabilities. The most significant assumptions and estimates relate to consolidation, revenue recognition, depreciable lives of the real estate, the valuation of real estate, accounting for real estate acquisitions, estimating reserves for uncollectible receivables and the accounting for mortgage and other notes receivable, all of which are described as our critical accounting policies in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. Application of these assumptions requires the exercise of judgment as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ from these estimates. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, there were no changes to critical accounting policies.

Recent Developments

Debt Financing

On February 18, 2016, we prepaid in full a mortgage note payable of $4.6 million which was secured by one theatre property. In connection with this note payoff, we paid $472 thousand in additional costs included in costs associated with loan refinancing or payoff.

The above amounts include $83 thousand and $68 thousand in capitalized payroll, $5.1 million and $9.5 million in capitalized interest and $751 thousand and $610 thousand in capitalized other general and administrative direct project costs for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Excluded from the table above is approximately $2.6 million and $1.5 million of maintenance capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. In addition, excluded from the table above is $17.1 million of infrastructure spending for the Adelaar casino and resort project for the six months ended June 30, 2016. As discussed below, in June 2016, we received an initial reimbursement of the infrastructure costs from the issuance of the Sullivan County Revenue Bonds.

Property Dispositions

On February 26, 2016, we completed the sale of a land parcel at Adelaar for net proceeds of $1.5 million and no gain or loss was recognized.

On April 6, 2016, pursuant to a tenant purchase option, we completed the sale of a public charter school located in Colorado for net proceeds of $11.2 million. In connection with this sale, we recognized a gain on sale of $2.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016. This gain represents the premium charged to the tenant over the total development cost for early termination in accordance with the purchase option in the lease. This termination fee has been included in FFO as adjusted, similar to how other lease termination fees and fees received for early prepayment of mortgage notes receivable are reflected when applicable.

On April 13, 2016, we completed the sale of one public charter school property in Georgia with a net carrying value of $4.0 million, which was previously leased to Imagine and was classified as investment in a direct financing lease, net. There was no gain or loss recognized on this sale.

Mortgage Notes Receivable

On January 5, 2016, we received prepayment of $19.3 million on one mortgage note receivable that was secured by a public charter school located in Washington D.C. In connection with the full payoff of this note, we received a prepayment

42

fee of $3.6 million which is included in mortgage and other financing income. Additionally, $80 thousand of prepaid mortgage fees were expensed and are included in costs associated with loan refinancing or payoff.

On April 22, 2016, we received prepayment in full on one mortgage note receivable of $44.3 million that was secured by an entertainment retail center located in North Carolina. In conjunction with this payoff, we wrote off $335 thousand of prepaid mortgage fees to costs associated with loan refinancing or payoff.

Adelaar Casino and Resort Project in Sullivan County, New York

On December 21, 2015, Montreign Operating Company, LLC (“Montreign”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Empire Resorts Inc., was awarded a license (a “Gaming Facility License”) by the New York State Gaming Commission (the “NYSGC”) to operate the Montreign Resort Casino (the “Casino Project”), which will be located within our Adelaar project in Sullivan County, New York, approximately 90 miles from New York City. On March 1, 2016, the Gaming Facility License became effective upon the deposit of bonds by Montreign and the Company with the NYSGC of 10% of the minimum capital investment required for the project. On March 30, 2016, Montreign submitted payment for the Gaming Facility License in the amount of $51 million to the NYSGC.

We are responsible for the construction of the Adelaar casino and resort project common infrastructure. In June 2016, the Sullivan County Infrastructure Local Development Corporation issued $110.0 million of Series 2016 Revenue Bonds, which is expected to find a substantial portion of such construction costs. We received an initial reimbursement of $43.4 million of construction costs and expect to receive an additional $44.9 million of reimbursements over the balance of the construction period. Construction of infrastructure improvements is expected to be completed in 2017.

As further described in Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Adelaar casino and resort project is the subject of ongoing litigation for which we believe we have meritorious defenses.

Results of Operations

Three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to three months ended June 30, 2015

Rental revenue was $96.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $77.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. This increase resulted primarily from $17.7 million of rental revenue related to property acquisitions and developments completed in 2016 and 2015, as well as an increase of $0.5 million in rental revenue on existing properties, partially offset by the impact of a weaker Canadian dollar exchange rate and property dispositions. Percentage rents of $0.4 million and $0.1 million were recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Straight-line rents of $3.3 million and $3.2 million were recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

During the three months ended June 30, 2016, we renewed three lease agreements on approximately 277,000 square feet and funded or agreed to fund an average of $7.22 per square foot in tenant improvements. We experienced an increase of approximately 4.15% in rental rates and paid no leasing commissions with respect to these lease renewals.

Other income was $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The $1.0 million increase was primarily due to the recognition of gains of $1.5 million from insurance claims during the three months ended June 30, 2016, as well as an increase in income recognized upon settlement of foreign currency swap contracts. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in fee income.

Mortgage and other financing income for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was $16.0 million compared to $18.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The $2.3 million decrease was primarily due to the conversion of the mortgage note for Camelback Mountain Resort to a lease agreement during August 2015 and the payoff of certain mortgage notes in the first half of 2016. This was partially offset by increased real estate lending activities related to our other mortgage loan agreements.

43

Our general and administrative expense totaled $9.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $7.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The increase of $1.2 million primarily related to an increase in payroll and benefits costs including share based compensation as well as an increase in professional fees.

Our net interest expense increased by $2.8 million to $22.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 from $20.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. This increase resulted from an increase in average borrowings as well as a decrease in interest cost capitalized primarily related to the Adelaar project, which was $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. Additionally, the hedged rate on $300.0 million of our unsecured term loan increased to an average of 3.61% from an average of 2.60% and will return to an average of 2.94% in July 2017. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in the weighted average interest rate used to finance our real estate acquisitions and fund our mortgage notes receivable.

Transaction costs totaled $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $4.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The decrease of $2.9 million related to a decrease in costs associated with potential and terminated transactions.

Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $25.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $21.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The $3.9 million increase resulted primarily from acquisitions and developments completed in 2016 and 2015, as well as the acceleration of depreciation on certain existing assets, and was partially offset by property dispositions.

Gain on sale of real estate was $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and related to the exercise of a tenant purchase option on one of our public charter school properties.

Income tax expense was $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to income tax benefit of $7.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. Income taxes related primarily to income taxes on our Canadian trust and taxable REIT subsidiaries as well as state income taxes and withholding tax for distributions related to our unconsolidated joint venture projects located in China. During the three months ended June 30, 2015, the examination by the Canada Revenue Agency on our Canadian trust was completed with no adjustments and accordingly we reversed the previously recorded liability of $7.9 million.

Six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to six months ended June 30, 2015

Rental revenue was $189.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $154.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. This increase resulted primarily from $35.1 million of rental revenue related to property acquisitions and developments completed in 2016 and 2015, as well as an increase of $0.1 million in rental revenue on existing properties, offset by the impact of a weaker Canadian dollar exchange rate and property dispositions. Percentage rents of $1.0 million and $0.4 million were recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Straight-line rents of $6.4 million and $6.2 million were recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we renewed three lease agreements on approximately 277,000 square feet and funded or agreed to fund an average of $7.22 per square foot in tenant improvements. We experienced an increase of approximately 4.15% in rental rates and paid no leasing commissions with respect to these lease renewals.

Tenant reimbursements totaled $7.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $8.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. These tenant reimbursements related to the operations of our entertainment retail centers. The $0.5 million decrease was primarily due to the impact of a weaker Canadian dollar exchange rate.

Other income was $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The $1.6 million increase was primarily due to the recognition of gains of $2.0 million from insurance claims during the six months ended June 30, 2016, as well as an increase in income recognized upon settlement of foreign currency swap contracts. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in fee income.

44

Mortgage and other financing income for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $35.9 million compared to $36.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The $0.2 million decrease was primarily due to the conversion of the mortgage note for Camelback Mountain Resort to a lease agreement during August 2015 and the payoff of certain mortgage notes in the first half of 2016. This decrease was partially offset by a $3.6 million prepayment fee we received in conjunction with the full prepayment of one mortgage note receivable and by increased real estate lending activities related to our other mortgage loan agreements.

Our property operating expense totaled $11.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $12.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. These property operating expenses related primarily to the operations of our entertainment retail centers and other specialty properties. The $1.0 million decrease was primarily due to a decrease in bad debt expense as well as a weaker Canadian dollar exchange rate.

Our general and administrative expense totaled $18.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $15.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The increase of $2.8 million primarily related to an increase in payroll and benefits costs including share based compensation as well as an increase in professional fees.

Retirement severance expense was $18.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and related to the retirement of our former President and Chief Executive Officer. There was no retirement severance expense for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Costs associated with loan refinancing or payoff for the six months ended June 30, 2016 were $0.9 million and related to fees associated with the repayment of a secured fixed rate mortgage note payable and the write off of prepaid mortgage fees in conjunction with our borrowers' prepayments of two mortgage notes receivable. Costs associated with loan refinancing or payoff totaled $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and related to the amendment and restatement of our secured revolving credit and term loan facilities on April 24, 2015.

Our net interest expense increased by $7.4 million to $46.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 from $38.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. This increase resulted from an increase in average borrowings as well as a decrease in interest cost capitalized primarily related to the Adelaar project, which was $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $4.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. Additionally, the hedged rate on $300.0 million of our unsecured term loan increased to an average of 3.61% from an average of 2.60% and will return to an average of 2.94% in July 2017. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in the weighted average interest rate used to finance our real estate acquisitions and fund our mortgage notes receivable.

Transaction costs totaled $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $6.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The decrease of $4.1 million related to a decrease in costs associated with potential and terminated transactions.

Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $51.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $41.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015.The $10.4 million increase resulted primarily from acquisitions and developments completed in 2016 and 2015, as well as the acceleration of depreciation on certain existing assets, and was partially offset by property dispositions.

Gain on sale of real estate was $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and related to the exercise of a tenant purchase option on one of our public charter school properties. Gain on sale of real estate was $23.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and related to a gain on sale of $23.7 million from a theatre located in Los Angeles, California and a gain on sale of $0.2 million from a parcel of land adjacent to one of our public charter school investments.

Income tax expense was $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to income tax expense of $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. Income taxes related primarily to income taxes on our Canadian trust and taxable REIT subsidiaries as well as state income taxes and withholding tax for distributions related to our unconsolidated joint venture projects located in China.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents were $8.5 million at June 30, 2016. In addition, we had restricted cash of $16.6 million at June 30, 2016. Of the restricted cash at June 30, 2016, $13.6 million related to cash held for our borrowers’ debt service reserves for mortgage notes receivable or tenants' off-season rent reserves. The remaining $3.0 million is required in connection with our debt outstanding and relates to debt service, payment of real estate taxes and capital improvements.

Mortgage Debt, Senior Notes and Unsecured Revolving Credit and Term Loan Facility

As of June 30, 2016, we had total debt outstanding of $2.1 billion of which $218.1 million was fixed rate mortgage debt secured by a portion of our rental properties and mortgage notes receivable. The fixed rate mortgage debt had a weighted average interest rate of approximately 5.1% at June 30, 2016.

At June 30, 2016, we had outstanding $1.2 billion in aggregate principal amount of unsecured senior notes ranging in interest rates from 4.50% to 7.75%. All of these notes are guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries. The notes contain various covenants, including: (i) a limitation on incurrence of any debt which would cause the ratio of our debt to adjusted total assets to exceed 60%; (ii) a limitation on incurrence of any secured debt which would cause the ratio of secured debt to adjusted total assets to exceed 40%; (iii) a limitation on incurrence of any debt which would cause our debt service coverage ratio to be less than 1.5 times; and (iv) the maintenance at all times of our total unencumbered assets such that they are not less than 150% of our outstanding unsecured debt.

At June 30, 2016, we had $347.0 million outstanding under our unsecured revolving credit facility, with $303.0 million of availability and with interest at a floating rate of LIBOR plus 125 basis points, which was 1.70% at June 30, 2016. The amount that we are able to borrow on our unsecured revolving credit facility is a function of the values and advance rates, as defined by the credit agreement, assigned to the assets included in the borrowing base less outstanding letters of credit and less other liabilities.

At June 30, 2016, the unsecured term loan facility had a balance of $350.0 million with interest at a floating rate of LIBOR plus 140 basis points, which was 1.84% at June 30, 2016, and $300.0 million of this LIBOR-based debt has been fixed with interest rate swaps at a blended rate of 3.18% through April 5, 2019. The loan matures on April 24, 2020.

Subsequent to June 30, 2016, we entered into a note purchase agreement with certain institutional investors dated August 1, 2016, pursuant to which we agreed to issue $340.0 million of senior unsecured notes in a private placement transaction to close on August 22, 2016.  The notes will be issued in two tranches with $148.0 million bearing interest at 4.35% and due August 22, 2024, and $192.0 million bearing interest at 4.56% and due August 22, 2026.  The notes will be guaranteed by our subsidiaries that guarantee our bank credit agreement and existing senior unsecured notes.

Certain of our unsecured credit facilities, including our bank credit agreement, existing senior unsecured notes and the note purchase agreement governing the expected issuance of private placement notes, contain financial covenants or restrictions that limit our levels of consolidated debt, secured debt, investment levels outside certain categories and dividend distributions; and require us to maintain a minimum consolidated tangible net worth and meet certain coverage levels for fixed charges and debt service.  Additionally, these debt instruments contain cross-default provisions if we default under other indebtedness exceeding certain amounts.  Those cross-default thresholds vary from $25.0 million to, in the case of the note purchase agreement governing the private placement notes, $75.0 million.  We were in compliance with all financial covenants under our debt instruments at June 30, 2016.

Our principal investing activities are acquiring, developing and financing entertainment, education and recreation properties. These investing activities have generally been financed with mortgage debt and senior unsecured notes, as well as the proceeds from equity offerings. Our unsecured revolving credit is also used to finance the acquisition or development of properties, and to provide mortgage financing. We have and expect to continue to issue debt securities in public or private offerings. We have and may in the future assume mortgage debt in connection with property acquisitions. We may also issue equity securities in connection with acquisitions. Continued growth of our rental property and mortgage financing portfolios will depend in part on our continued ability to access funds through additional

46

borrowings and securities offerings and, to a lesser extent, our ability to assume debt in connection with property acquisitions.

Certain of our other long-term debt agreements contain customary restrictive covenants related to financial and operating performance as well as certain cross-default provisions. We were in compliance with all financial covenants at June 30, 2016.

On January 21, 2016, the Company issued 2,250,000 common shares in a registered public offering for a total net proceeds, after the underwriting discount and offering expenses, of approximately $125.0 million. The net proceeds from the public offering were used to pay down the Company's unsecured revolving credit facility.

During the three months ended June 30, 2016, we issued an aggregate of 258,263 common shares under the direct share purchase component of our DSPP for total net proceeds of $16.9 million. These proceeds were used to pay down a portion of our unsecured revolving credit facility.

Liquidity Requirements

Short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of normal recurring corporate operating expenses, debt service requirements and distributions to shareholders. We meet these requirements primarily through cash provided by operating activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $152.5 million and $120.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Net cash used by investing activities was $268.2 million and $286.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Net cash provided by financing activities was $119.9 million and $169.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. We anticipate that our cash on hand, cash from operations, funds available under the unsecured revolving line of credit portion of our combined credit facility and the expected proceeds from the issuance of private placement notes will provide adequate liquidity to fund our operations, make interest and principal payments on our debt, and allow distributions to our shareholders and avoid corporate level federal income or excise tax in accordance with REIT Internal Revenue Code requirements.

Commitments

As of June 30, 2016, we had an aggregate of approximately $340.0 million of commitments to fund development projects including 16 entertainment development projects for which we had commitments to fund approximately $77.3 million, 25 education development projects for which we had commitments to fund approximately $192.8 million and seven recreation development projects for which we had commitments to fund approximately $69.9 million, of which approximately $205.9 million is expected to be funded in 2016 and the remainder is expected to be funded in 2017. Development costs are advanced by us in periodic draws. If we determine that construction is not being completed in accordance with the terms of the development agreement, we can discontinue funding construction draws. We have agreed to lease the properties to the operators at pre-determined rates upon completion of construction.

Additionally as of June 30, 2016, we had a commitment to fund approximately $120.0 million over the next three years, of which none has been funded, to complete an indoor waterpark hotel and adventure park at the Adelaar casino and resort project in Sullivan County, New York. We are also responsible for the construction of the casino and resort project common infrastructure. In June 2016, the Sullivan County Infrastructure Local Development Corporation issued $110.0 million of Series 2016 Revenue Bonds which is expected to fund a substantial portion of such construction costs. We received an initial reimbursement of $43.4 million of construction costs and expect to receive an additional $44.9 million of reimbursements over the balance of the construction period. Construction of infrastructure improvements is expected to be completed in 2017.

We have certain commitments related to our mortgage note investments that we may be required to fund in the future. We are generally obligated to fund these commitments at the request of the borrower or upon the occurrence of events outside of its direct control. As of June 30, 2016, we had four mortgage notes receivable with commitments totaling approximately $14.3 million. If commitments are funded in the future, interest will be charged at rates consistent with the existing investments.

47

We have provided guarantees of the payment of certain economic development revenue bonds totaling $22.9 million related to two theatres in Louisiana for which we earn a fee at annual rates of 2.88% to 4.00% over the 30-year terms of the related bonds. We have recorded $9.6 million as a deferred asset included in other assets and $9.6 million included in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2016 related to these guarantees. No amounts have been accrued as a loss contingency related to these guarantees because payment by us is not probable.

In connection with construction of our development projects and related infrastructure, certain public agencies require posting of surety bonds to guarantee that our obligations are satisfied. These bonds expire upon the completion of the improvements or infrastructure. As of June 30, 2016, we had three surety bonds outstanding totaling $21.7 million.

Liquidity Analysis

In analyzing our liquidity, we generally expect that our cash provided by operating activities will meet our normal recurring operating expenses, recurring debt service requirements and distributions to shareholders.

We have $37.9 million in debt balloon payments coming due for the remainder of 2016. Our sources of liquidity as of June 30, 2016 to pay the above 2016 commitments include the remaining amount available under our unsecured revolving credit facility as well as unrestricted cash on hand of $8.5 million. We also expect to use the proceeds from the expected issuance of private placement notes as an additional source of liquidity. We expect that our sources of cash will exceed our existing commitments over the remainder of 2016.

We also believe that we will be able to repay, extend, refinance or otherwise settle our debt maturities for 2017 and thereafter as the debt comes due, and that we will be able to fund our remaining commitments as necessary. However, there can be no assurance that additional financing or capital will be available, or that terms will be acceptable or advantageous to us.

Our primary use of cash after paying operating expenses, debt service, distributions to shareholders and funding existing commitments is in growing our investment portfolio through the acquisition, development and financing of additional properties. We expect to finance these investments with borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility, as well as long-term debt and equity financing alternatives. The availability and terms of any such financing will depend upon market and other conditions. If we borrow the maximum amount available under our unsecured revolving credit facility, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional investment financing. We may also assume mortgage debt in connection with property acquisitions.

Capital Structure

We believe that our shareholders are best served by a conservative capital structure. Therefore, we seek to maintain a conservative debt level on our balance sheet. Beginning in 2016, we decided to use the ratio of net debt to adjusted EBITDA as our primary measure to evaluate our capital structure and the magnitude of our debt against our operating performance. In prior periods, we primarily utilized the ratio of debt to gross assets, but we believe this metric is less commonly used by investors and lenders than net debt to adjusted EBITDA and is therefore less meaningful to them in performing their evaluations. In addition to a conservative net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio, we also seek to maintain conservative interest, fixed charge, debt service coverage and net debt to gross assets ratios.

We expect to maintain our net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio (see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for definitions) between 4.6x to 5.6x. Our net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio was 5.17x as of June 30, 2016 (see "Non-GAAP financial measures" for calculation). Because adjusted EBITDA as defined does not include the annualization of adjustments for projects put in service during the quarter and other items, and net debt includes the debt provided for build-to-suit projects under development that do not have any current EBITDA, we also look at a ratio adjusted for these items. The level of this additional ratio, along with the timing and size of our equity and debt offerings, may cause us to temporarily operate outside our stated range for the net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio of 4.6x to 5.6x.

Our net debt (see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for definition) to gross assets ratio (i.e. net debt to total assets plus accumulated depreciation less cash and cash equivalents) was 42% as of June 30, 2016. Our net debt as a percentage

48

of our total market capitalization at June 30, 2016 was 28%. We calculate our total market capitalization of $7.6 billion by aggregating the following at June 30, 2016:

• Common shares outstanding of 63,625,169 multiplied by the last reported sales price of our common shares on the NYSE of $80.68 per share, or $5.1 billion;

• Aggregate liquidation value of our Series C convertible preferred shares of $135.0 million;

• Aggregate liquidation value of our Series E convertible preferred shares of $86.3 million;

• Aggregate liquidation value of our Series F redeemable preferred shares of $125.0 million; and

• Net debt of $2.1 billion.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Funds From Operations (FFO), Funds From Operations As Adjusted (FFOAA) and Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO)

The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) developed FFO as a relative non-GAAP financial measure of performance of an equity REIT in order to recognize that income-producing real estate historically has not depreciated on the basis determined under GAAP. Pursuant to the definition of FFO by the Board of Governors of NAREIT, we calculate FFO as net income available to common shareholders, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains and losses from sales [or acquisitions] of depreciable operating properties and impairment losses of depreciable real estate, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships, joint ventures and other affiliates. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships, joint ventures and other affiliates are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. We have calculated FFO for all periods presented in accordance with this definition.

In addition to FFO, we present FFOAA and AFFO. FFOAA is presented by adding to FFO costs (gain) associated with loan refinancing or payoff, net, transaction costs (benefit), retirement severance expense, preferred share redemption costs, termination fees associated with tenants' exercises of public charter school buy-out options and provision for loan losses and subtracting gain on early extinguishment of debt, gain (loss) on sale of land, gain on insurance recovery and deferred income tax benefit (expense). AFFO is presented by adding to FFOAA non-real estate depreciation and amortization, deferred financing fees amortization, share-based compensation expense to management and Trustees and amortization of above market leases, net; and subtracting maintenance capital expenditures (including second generation tenant improvements and leasing commissions), straight-lined rental revenue, and the non-cash portion of mortgage and other financing income.

FFO, FFOAA and AFFO are widely used measures of the operating performance of real estate companies and are provided here as a supplemental measure to GAAP net income available to common shareholders and earnings per share, and management provides FFO, FFOAA and AFFO herein because it believes this information is useful to investors in this regard. FFO, FFOAA and AFFO are non-GAAP financial measures. FFO, FFOAA and AFFO do not represent cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP and are not indicative that cash flows are adequate to fund all cash needs and are not to be considered alternatives to net income or any other GAAP measure as a measurement of the results of our operations or our cash flows or liquidity as defined by GAAP. It should also be noted that not all REITs calculate FFO, FFOAA and AFFO the same way so comparisons with other REITs may not be meaningful.

The following table summarizes our FFO, FFOAA and AFFO including per share amounts for FFO and FFOAA, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 and reconciles such measures to net income available to common shareholders, the most directly comparable GAAP measure (unaudited, in thousands, except per share information):

The conversion of the 5.75% Series C cumulative convertible preferred shares would be dilutive to FFO per share and FFOAA per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. Therefore, the additional 2.0 million common shares that would result from the conversion and the corresponding add-back of the preferred dividends declared on those shares are included in the calculation of diluted FFO and diluted FFOAA per share for these periods. The effect of the conversion of our 9.0% Series E cumulative convertible preferred shares do not result in more dilution to per share results and are therefore not included in the calculation of diluted per share data for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. The additional 2.0 million common shares that would result from the conversion of the 5.75% Series C cumulative convertible preferred shares and the additional 1.6 million common shares that would result from the conversion of the 9.0% Series E cumulative convertible preferred shares and the corresponding add-back of the preferred dividends declared on those shares are not included in the calculation of diluted per share data for the remaining periods above because the effect is not dilutive.

Net Debt

Net Debt represents debt (reported in accordance with GAAP) adjusted to exclude deferred financing costs, net and reduced for cash and cash equivalents. By excluding deferred financing costs, net and reducing debt for cash and cash equivalents on hand, the result provides an estimate of the contractual amount of borrowed capital to be repaid, net of cash available to repay it. We believe this calculation constitutes a beneficial supplemental non-GAAP financial disclosure to investors in understanding our financial condition. Our method of calculating Net Debt may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs.

Adjusted EBITDA

Management uses Adjusted EBITDA in its analysis of the performance of the business and operations of the Company. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because it excludes various items that management believes are not indicative of operating performance, and that it is an informative measure to use in computing various financial ratios to evaluate the Company. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income available to common shareholders excluding costs associated with loan refinancing or payoff, interest expense (net), depreciation and amortization, equity in (income) loss from joint ventures, gain (loss) on the sale of real estate, gain on insurance recovery, income tax expense (benefit), preferred dividend requirements, the effect of non-cash impairment charges, retirement severance expense, the provision for loan losses and transaction costs (benefit), and which is then multiplied by four to get an annual amount.

Our method of calculating Adjusted EBITDA may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of performance under GAAP, does not represent cash generated from operations as defined by GAAP and is not indicative of cash available to fund all cash needs, including distributions. This measure should not be considered as an alternative to net income for the purpose of evaluating the Company's performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.

Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio

Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio is a supplemental measure derived from non-GAAP financial measures that we use to evaluate our capital structure and the magnitude of our debt against our operating performance. We believe that investors commonly use versions of this ratio in a similar manner. In addition, financial institutions use versions of this ratio in connection with debt agreements to set pricing and covenant limitations. Our method of calculating Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs.

Reconciliations of debt and net income available to common shareholders (both reported in accordance with GAAP) to Net Debt, Adjusted EBITDA and Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio (each of which is a non-GAAP financial measure) are included in the following tables (unaudited, in thousands):

Total Investments

Total investments is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as the sum of the carrying values of rental properties (before accumulated depreciation), rental properties held for sale (before accumulated depreciation), land held for development, property under development, mortgage notes receivable (including related accrued interest receivable), investment in a direct financing lease, net, investment in joint ventures, intangible assets, gross (included in other assets) and notes receivable and related accrued interest receivable, net (included in other assets). Total investments is a useful measure for management and investors as it illustrates across which asset categories the Company's funds have been invested. Our method of calculating total investments may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. A reconciliation of total investments to total assets (computed in accordance with GAAP) is included in the following table (unaudited, in thousands):

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q for additional information on the impact of recently issued accounting standards on our business.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risks, primarily relating to potential losses due to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. We seek to mitigate the effects of fluctuations in interest rates by matching the term of new investments with new long-term fixed rate borrowings whenever possible. As of June 30, 2016, we had a $650.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility with $347.0 million outstanding and $25.0 million in bonds, all of which bear interest at a floating rate. We also had a $350.0 million unsecured term loan facility that bears interest at a floating rate and $300.0 million of this LIBOR-based debt has been fixed with interest rate swaps at a blended rate of 3.18% through April 5, 2019.

We are subject to risks associated with debt financing, including the risk that existing indebtedness may not be refinanced or that the terms of such refinancing may not be as favorable as the terms of current indebtedness. The majority of our borrowings are subject to contractual agreements or mortgages which limit the amount of indebtedness we may incur. Accordingly, if we are unable to raise additional equity or borrow money due to these limitations, our ability to make additional real estate investments may be limited.

We are exposed to foreign currency risk against our functional currency, the U.S. dollar, on our four Canadian properties and the rents received from tenants of the properties are payable in CAD. To mitigate our foreign currency risk in future periods on these Canadian properties, we entered into cross currency swaps with a fixed original notional value of $100.0 million CAD and $98.1 million U.S. The net effect of this swap is to lock in an exchange rate of $1.05 CAD per U.S. dollar on approximately $13.5 million of annual CAD denominated cash flows on the properties through June 2018. There is no initial or final exchange of the notional amounts on these swaps. These foreign currency derivatives should hedge a significant portion of our expected CAD denominated FFO of these four Canadian properties through June 2018 as their impact on our reported FFO when settled should move in the opposite direction of the exchange rates used to translate revenues and expenses of these properties.

In order to also hedge our net investment on the four Canadian properties, we entered into a forward contract with a notional amount of $100.0 million CAD and $94.3 million U.S. with a July 2018 settlement date. The exchange rate of this forward contract is approximately $1.06 CAD per U.S. dollar. Additionally, the Company entered into another forward contract with a fixed notional value of $100.0 million CAD and $88.1 million U.S. with a July 2018 settlement date. The exchange rate of this forward contract is approximately $1.13 CAD per U.S. dollar. These forward contracts should hedge a significant portion of our CAD denominated net investment in these four centers through July 2018 as the impact on accumulated other comprehensive income from marking the derivative to market should move in the opposite direction of the translation adjustment on the net assets of our four Canadian properties.

See Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q for additional information on our derivative financial instruments and hedging activities.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures

As of June 30, 2016, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Based upon and as of the date of that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

55

Our disclosure controls were designed to provide reasonable assurance that the controls and procedures would meet their objectives. Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the designed control objectives and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusions of two or more people, or by management override of the control. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective, maturing control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter of the fiscal year to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Prior proposed casino and resort developers Concord Associates, L.P., Concord Resort, LLC and Concord Kiamesha LLC, which are affiliates of Louis Cappelli and from whom the Company acquired the Adelaar resort property (the “Cappelli Group”), commenced litigation against us beginning in 2011 regarding matters relating to our acquisition of that property and our relationship with the Empire Resorts, Inc. This litigation involves three separate cases filed in state and federal court.

The first case was filed on June 7, 2011 by the Cappelli Group in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Sullivan, against two subsidiaries of the Company. The Company obtained a summary judgment on June 30, 2014 in this case which was affirmed on appeal. As a result, this case is now closed.

The second case was filed on October 20, 2011 by the Cappelli Group against the Company and two of its affiliates in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Westchester (“Westchester Action”), asserting a claim for breach of contract and the implied covenant of good faith, and seeking damages of at least $800 million, based on the same allegations as in the action the Cappelli Group filed in Sullivan County Supreme Court. The Company moved to dismiss the Amended Complaint in Westchester County based on the Sullivan County Supreme Court’s June 30, 2014 decision (which has now been affirmed). On January 26, 2016, the Westchester County Supreme Court denied the Company's motion to dismiss but ordered the Cappelli Group to amend its pleading and remove all claims and allegations previously determined by the Sullivan County case (discussed above). On February 18, 2016, the Cappelli Group revised their amended complaint, which the Company believes remains deficient. On March 23, 2016, the Company filed with the Westchester County Supreme Court a motion to dismiss the Cappelli Group’s revised amended complaint. The motion is currently pending.

The third case was filed with the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “District Court”) by Concord Associates L.P. and six other companies affiliated with Mr. Cappelli against the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, Empire Resorts, Inc. and Monticello Raceway Management, Inc. (collectively, “Empire”), and Kien Huat Realty III Limited and Genting New York LLC (collectively, “Genting”). The complaint alleged, among other things, that the Company had conspired with Empire to monopolize the racing and gaming market in the Catskills by entering into exclusivity and development agreements to develop a comprehensive resort destination in Sullivan County, New York. The plaintiffs were seeking $500 million in damages (trebled to $1.5 billion under antitrust law), punitive damages, and injunctive relief. On September 18, 2013, the District Court dismissed the complaint filed. Specifically, the District Court dismissed plaintiffs’ federal antitrust claims against all defendants with prejudice, and dismissed the pendent state law claims against Empire and Genting without prejudice, meaning they could be further pursued in state court. On October 2, 2013, the plaintiffs filed a motion for reconsideration with the District Court, seeking permission to file a Second Amended Complaint, and soon after filed a Notice of Appeal. The District Court

56

denied the motion for reconsideration in an Opinion and Order dated November 3, 2014, and the plaintiffs perfected their appeal in the Second Circuit on or about December 17, 2014. On March 18, 2016, the Second Circuit affirmed the District Court’s dismissal of the case in favor of the Company, Empire and Genting. The plaintiffs did not file a writ of certiorari seeking review by the Supreme Court of the United States within the required time period. As a result, the case is now closed.

The Company has not determined that losses related to the remaining Westchester Action are probable. In light of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of litigation generally, the Company does not have sufficient information to determine the amount or range of reasonably possible loss with respect to these matters. The Company’s assessments are based on estimates and assumptions that have been deemed reasonable by management, but that may prove to be incomplete or inaccurate, and unanticipated events and circumstances may occur that might cause the Company to change those estimates and assumptions. The Company intends to vigorously defend the claims asserted against the Company and certain of its subsidiaries by the Cappelli Group and its affiliates, for which the Company believes it has meritorious defenses, but there can be no assurances as to the outcome of the claims and related litigation.

EX-3.1

Exhibit 3.1

COMPOSITE COPY OF

AMENDED AND RESTATED

DECLARATION OF TRUST

OF

EPR PROPERTIES

(As Amended Through May 12, 2016)

EPR Properties, a Maryland real estate investment trust (the "Trust") under Title 8 of the Corporations and Associations Article of the Annotated Code of Maryland ("Title 8"), desires to amend and restate its Declaration of Trust as currently in effect and as hereinafter amended.

The following provisions are all of the provisions of the Declaration of Trust currently in effect as hereinafter amended:

FIRST: The name of the real estate investment trust (the "Trust") is: EPR Properties. Under circumstances in which the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the "Board of Trustees" or "Board") determines that the use of the name of the Trust is not practicable or advisable, the Trust may use any other designation or name for the Trust.

SECOND: The Trust is a real estate investment trust within the meaning of Title 8. The Trust shall not be deemed to be a general partnership, limited partnership, joint venture, joint stock company or a corporation (but nothing herein shall preclude the Trust from being treated for tax purposes as an association under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code")).

THIRD: The purposes for which the Trust is formed is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which real estate investment trusts may be formed under the laws of the State of Maryland.

FOURTH: The current address of the principal office of the Trust is 1221 Baltimore Avenue, Kansas City, Missouri 64105. The post office address of the principal office of the Trust in the State of Maryland is c/o The Prentice-Hall Corporation System, Maryland, 11 East Chase Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21202. The name and address of the resident agent of the Trust in the State of Maryland is The Prentice-Hall Corporation System, Maryland, 11 East Chase Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21202. The resident agent is a corporation located in the State of Maryland.

FIFTH:

Section 1. The number of Trustees of the Trust shall initially be five (5), which number may be increased or decreased from time to time by the vote of a majority of the entire Board of Trustees, but such number shall in no case be less than three. Any such determination shall be by the Board of Trustees and shall continue in effect unless and until changed by the Board of Trustees, but no such changes shall affect the term of any Trustee then serving. A majority of the entire Board of Trustees shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business.

Section 2. The Trustees shall be divided into three classes, designated Class I, Class II and Class III. Each class shall consist, as nearly as may be possible, of one-third of the total number of Trustees constituting the entire Board of Trustees. The initial Class I Trustees shall be elected for a one-year term (expiring in 1998); the initial Class II Trustees for a two-year term (expiring in 1999); and the initial Class III Trustees for a three-year term (expiring in 2000). At each succeeding annual meeting of shareholders, beginning in 1998, successors to the class of Trustees whose term expires at that annual meeting shall be elected to serve until the third succeeding annual meeting of shareholders and until their successors are elected and qualify, subject, however, to prior death, resignation or removal. If the authorized number of Trustees is changed, any increase or decrease shall be apportioned among the classes so as to maintain the number of Trustees in each class as nearly equal as possible but

in no case will a decrease in the number of Trustees shorten the term of any incumbent Trustee. Any vacancy on the Board of Trustees (including a vacancy created by the removal of a Trustee) may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Trustees then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining Trustee. Any Trustee elected to fill a vacancy shall serve until the next annual meeting of shareholders and until his or her successor shall be elected and shall qualify, subject, however, to prior death, resignation or removal.

Section 3.(a) A Trustee shall perform his or her duties as a trustee, including his or her duties as a member of a committee of the Board of Trustees on which he or she serves:

(i)    in good faith;

(ii)    in a manner he or she reasonably believes to be in the best interest of the Trust; and

(iii)    with the care that an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would use under similar circumstances.

(b) In performing his or her duties, a Trustee is entitled to rely on any information, opinion, report or statement, including any financial statement or other financial data, prepared or presented by:

(iii)    a committee of the Board of Trustees on which the Trustee does not serve, as to a matter within its designated authority, if the Trustee reasonably believes the committee to merit confidence.

Section 4. Any Trustee may resign by written notice to the Board, effective upon execution and delivery to the Trust of such written notice or upon any future date specified in the notice. Subject to the rights of holders of one or more classes or series of Preferred Shares to elect or remove one or more Trustees, a Trustee may be removed at any time, for cause, at a meeting of the shareholders, by the affirmative vote of two thirds of all the votes entitled to be cast generally in the election of Trustees.

SIXTH: In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by statute, the Board of Trustees is expressly authorized to make, alter, amend or repeal the Bylaws of the Trust. The Declaration of Trust shall be construed with the presumption in favor of the grant of power and authority to the Board. Any construction of the Declaration of

Trust or determination made in good faith by the Board concerning its powers and authority hereunder shall be conclusive.

SEVENTH:

Section 1. Indemnification. The Trust shall, to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law in effect from time to time, indemnify (a) any individual who is a present or former trustee or officer of the Trust or (b) any individual who, while a trustee or officer of the Trust and at the request of the Trust, serves or has served as a director, officer, shareholder, partner, trustee, employee or agent of any real estate investment trust, corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or any other enterprise, from and against any claim, liability, judgment, penalty, fine or amount paid in settlement, together with reasonable expenses actually incurred in advance of final disposition of a proceeding, to which such person may become subject or which such person may incur by reason of his or her status as such. The Trust shall have the power, with the approval of its Board of Trustees, to provide such indemnification and advancement of expenses to a person who served a predecessor of the Trust in any of the capacities described in (a) or (b) above and to any employee or agent of the Trust or a predecessor of the Trust.

Section 2. Insurance. The Trust may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a trustee, officer, employee or agent of the Trust or who, while a trustee, officer, employee or agent of the Trust is or was serving at the request of the Trust as a director, officer, shareholder, partner, trustee, employee or agent of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, against liability asserted against or incurred by such person in that capacity or arising from such person's status as such, whether or not the Trust would have the power to indemnify such person against the same liability under Section 1 of this Article SEVENTH.

EIGHTH:

Section 1. Authorized Shares. The beneficial interest of the Trust shall be divided into shares of beneficial interest (the "Shares"). The Trust has authority to issue 100,000,000 common shares of beneficial interest, $0.01 par value per share ("Common Shares"), and 25,000,000 preferred shares of beneficial interest, $0.01 par value per share ("Preferred Shares"). The Board of Trustees, without any action by the shareholders of the Trust, may amend the Declaration of Trust from time to time to increase or decrease the aggregate number of Shares or the number of Shares of any class that the Trust has authority to issue. If shares of one class of beneficial interest are classified or reclassified into shares of another class of beneficial interest pursuant to Sections 2, 3 or 4 of this Article EIGHTH, the number of authorized shares of the former class shall be automatically decreased and the number of authorized shares of the latter class shall be automatically increased, in each case by the number of shares so classified or reclassified, so that the aggregate number of shares of beneficial interest of all classes that the Trust has authority to issue shall not be more than the total number of shares of beneficial interest set forth in the second sentence of this paragraph.

Section 2. Common Shares. Subject to the provisions of Article NINTH, each Common Share shall entitle the holder thereof to one vote on each matter upon which holders of Common Shares are entitled to vote. The Board of Trustees may reclassify any unissued Common Shares from time to time in one or more classes or series of Shares.

Section 3. Preferred Shares. The Board of Trustees may classify any unissued Preferred Shares and reclassify any previous classified but unissued Preferred Shares of any series from time to time in one or more series of Shares.

Section 4. Classified or Reclassified Shares. Prior to issuance of classified or reclassified Shares of any class or series, the Board of Trustees by resolution shall (a) designate that class or series to distinguish it from all other classes and series of Shares; (b) specify the number of Shares to be included in the class or series; (c) set, subject to the provisions of Article NINTH and subject to the express terms of any class or series of Shares

outstanding at the time, the preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends or other distributions, qualifications and terms and conditions of redemption for each class or series; and (d) cause the Trust to file articles supplementary with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland (the "SDAT"). Any of the terms of any class or series of Shares set pursuant to clause (c) of this Section 4 may be made dependent upon facts ascertainable outside the Declaration of Trust (including the occurrence of any event, including a determination or action by the Trust or any other person or body) and may vary among holders thereof, provided that the manner in which such facts or variations shall operate upon the terms of such class or series of Shares is clearly and expressly set forth in the articles supplementary filed with the SDAT.

Section 5. Authorization by Board of Share Issuance. The Board of Trustees may authorize the issuance from time to time of Shares of any class or series, whether now or hereafter authorized, or securities or rights convertible into Shares of any class or series, whether now or hereafter authorized, for such consideration (whether in cash, property, past or future services, obligation for future payment or otherwise) as the Board of Trustees may deem advisable (or without consideration in the case of a Share split or Share dividend), subject to such restrictions or limitations, if any, as may be set forth in the Declaration of Trust or the Bylaws of the Trust.

Section 6. Dividends and Distributions. The Board of Trustees may from time to time authorize and declare to shareholders such dividends or distributions, in cash or other assets of the Trust or in securities of the Trust or from any other source as the Board of Trustees in its discretion shall determine. The Board of Trustees shall endeavor to authorize and declare such dividends and distributions as shall be necessary for the Trust to qualify as a real estate investment trust under the Code; however, shareholders shall have no right to any dividend or distribution unless and until authorized and declared by the Board. The exercise of the powers and rights of the Board of Trustees pursuant to this Section 6 shall be subject to provisions of any class or series of Shares at the time outstanding. Notwithstanding any other provision in the Declaration of Trust, no determination shall be made by the Board of Trustees nor shall any transaction be entered into by the Trust which would cause any Shares or other beneficial interest in the Trust not to constitute "transferable shares" or "transferable certificates of beneficial interest" under Section 856(a)(2) of the Code or which would cause any distribution to constitute a preferential dividend as described in Section 562(c) of the Code.

Section 7. General Nature of Shares. All Shares shall be personal property entitling the shareholders only to those rights provided in the Declaration of Trust. The shareholders shall have no interest in the property of the Trust and shall have no right to compel any partition, division, dividend or distribution of the Trust or of the property of the Trust. The death of a shareholder shall not terminate the Trust. The Trust is entitled to treat as shareholders only those persons in whose names Shares are registered as holders of Shares on the beneficial interest ledger of the Trust.

Section 8. Fractional Shares. The Trust may, without the consent or approval of any shareholder, issue fractional Shares, eliminate a fraction of a Share by rounding up or down to a full Share, arrange for the disposition of a fraction of a Share by the person entitled to it, or pay cash for the fair value of a fraction of a Share.

Section 9. Declaration and Bylaws. All shareholders are subject to the provisions of the Declaration of Trust and the Bylaws of the Trust.

Section 10. Declaration and Combinations of Shares. Subject to an express provision to the contrary in the terms of any class or series of beneficial interest hereafter authorized, the Board of Trustees shall have the power to divide or combine the outstanding shares of any class or series of beneficial interest, without a vote of shareholders, so long as the number of shares combined into one share in any such combination or series of combinations within any period of twelve months is not greater than 100.

Section 2. Ownership Limitation.

(A) Except as provided in Section 11 and Section 19 of this Article NINTH and subject to clause (E) of this Section 2, from the date of the Initial Public Offering until the Restriction Termination Date, no Person, or Persons acting as a group, shall Beneficially Own Shares in excess of the Ownership Limit.

(B) Except as provided in Section 11 and Section 19 of this Article NINTH and subject to clause (E) of this Section 2, from the date of the Initial Public Offering until the Restriction Termination Date, any Transfer that, if effective, would result in any Person Beneficially Owning Shares in excess of the Ownership Limit shall be void ab initio as to the Transfer of such Shares which would be otherwise Beneficially Owned by such Person in excess of the Ownership Limit; and the intended transferee shall acquire no rights in such Shares.

(C) Except as provided in Section 11 and Section 19 of this Article NINTH and subject to clause (E) of this Section 2, from the date of the Initial Public Offering until the Restriction Termination Date, any Transfer that, if effective, would result in the Shares being beneficially owned (as provided in Section 856(a) of the Code) by less than 100 Persons (determined without reference to any rules of attribution) shall be void ab initio as to the Transfer of such Shares which would be otherwise beneficially owned (as provided in Section 856(a) of the Code) by the transferee; and the intended transferee shall acquire no rights in such Shares.

(D) Except as provided in Section 11 and Section 19 of this Article NINTH and subject to clause (E) of this Section 2, from the date of the Initial Public Offering until the Restriction Termination Date, any Transfer that, if effective, would result in the Trust being "closely held" within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code shall be void ab initio as to the Transfer of the Shares which would cause the Trust to be "closely held" within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code; and the intended transferee shall acquire no rights in such Shares.

(E) Nothing contained in this Article NINTH shall preclude the settlement of any transaction entered into through the facilities of the New York Stock Exchange. The fact that the settlement of any transaction occurs or takes place shall not negate the effect of any other provision of this Article NINTH and any transferee in such a transaction shall be subject to all of the provisions and limitations set forth in this Article NINTH.

Section 3. Excess Shares.

(A) If, notwithstanding the other provisions contained in this Article NINTH, at any time after the date of the Initial Public Offering until the Restriction Termination Date, there is a purported Transfer such that any Person

would Beneficially Own Shares in excess of the applicable Ownership Limit, then, except as otherwise provided in Section 11 of this Article NINTH, Shares directly owned by such Person in excess of the Ownership Limit shall be automatically designated as Excess Shares (without reclassification) until such Person does not own Shares in excess of the applicable Ownership Limit. The designation of such Shares as Excess Shares shall be effective as of the close of business on the business day prior to the date of the purported Transfer. If, after designation of such Shares owned directly by a Person as Excess Shares, such Person still owns Shares in excess of the applicable Ownership Limit, Shares Beneficially Owned by such Person constructively in excess of the Ownership Limit shall be designated as Excess Shares until such Person does not own Shares in excess of the applicable Ownership Limit. Where such Person owns Shares constructively through one or more Persons and the Shares held by such other Persons must be designated as Excess Shares, the designation of Shares as Excess Shares held by such other Persons shall be pro rata.

(B) If, notwithstanding the other provisions contained in this Article NINTH, at any time after the date of the Initial Public Offering until the Restriction Termination Date, there is a purported Transfer of Shares or any sale, transfer, gift, assignment, devise or other disposition of shares or other interests of a direct or indirect shareholder of the Trust which, if effective, would cause the Trust to become "closely held" within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code, then any Shares being Transferred which would cause the Trust to be "closely held" within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code (rounded up to the nearest whole Share) shall be automatically designated as Excess Shares and be treated as provided in this Article NINTH. Such designation and treatment shall be effective as of the close of business on the business day prior to the date of the purported Transfer. If, after the designation of any such Shares as Excess Shares, the Trust is still "closely held" within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code, an amount of Shares owned directly by any individual whose Beneficial Ownership of Shares in the Trust increased as a result of the sale, transfer, gift, assignment, devise or other disposition of shares or other interests of a direct or indirect shareholder of the Trust and is one of the five individuals who caused the Trust to be "closely held" within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code, shall be automatically designated as Excess Shares until the Trust is not "closely held" within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code. Where several similarly situated individuals exist, the designation of Shares as Excess Shares shall be pro rata. If, after applying the foregoing provisions the Trust is still "closely held" within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code, any Shares constructively owned by such individuals shall be designated as Excess Shares, on a pro rata basis among similarly situated individuals, until the Trust is not "closely held" within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code.

(C) If, at any time after the date of the Initial Public Offering until the Restriction Termination Date, an event other than a purported Transfer (an "Event") occurs which would cause any Person to Beneficially Own Shares in excess of the Ownership Limit, then, except as otherwise provided in Section 11 of this Article NINTH, Shares Beneficially Owned by such Person in excess of the Ownership Limit shall be automatically designated as Excess Shares to the extent necessary to eliminate such excess ownership. The designation of Shares as Excess Shares shall be effective as of the close of business on the business day prior to the date of the Event. In determining which Shares are designated as Excess Shares, Shares Beneficially Owned by any Person who caused the Event to occur shall be designated as Excess Shares before any Shares not so held are designated. Where several similarly situated Persons exist, the designation of Shares as Excess Shares shall be pro rata. If any Person is required to designate Shares as Excess Shares pursuant to this Clause (C) of this Section 3 of this Article NINTH, such Person shall first designate Shares directly held by such Person before designating Shares Beneficially Owned constructively. Where such Person owns Shares constructively through one or more Persons and the Shares held by such other Persons must be designated as Excess Shares, the designation of Shares by such other Persons shall be pro rata.

Section 4. Prevention of Transfer. If the Board of Trustees or its designee shall at any time determine in good faith that a Transfer has taken place in violation of Section 2 of this Article NINTH or that a Person intends to acquire or has attempted to acquire Beneficial Ownership (determined without reference to any rules of attribution) of any Shares in violation of Section 2 of this Article NINTH, the Board of Trustees or its designee shall take such action as it deems advisable to refuse to give effect to or to prevent such Transfer, including, but not limited to, refusing to give effect to such Transfer on the books of the Trust or instituting proceedings to enjoin such Transfer; provided, however, that any Transfers or attempted Transfers in violation of Section 2 of this Article NINTH shall

automatically result in the designation and treatment described in Section 3 of this Article NINTH, irrespective of any action (or non-action) by the Board of Trustees.

Section 5. Notice to Trust. Any Person who acquires or attempts to acquire Shares in violation of Section 2 of this Article NINTH, or any Person who is a transferee such that Excess Shares result under Section 3 of this Article NINTH, shall immediately give written notice or, in the event of a proposed or attempted Transfer, give at least 15 days prior written notice to the Trust of such event. Such person shall also provide to the Trust such other information as the Trust may request in order to determine the effect, if any, of such Transfer or attempted Transfer on the Trust's status as a REIT and shall execute and deliver such instruments and provide such further cooperation and assistance as the Board of Trustees deems advisable to preserve the status of the Trust as a REIT.

Section 6. Information for Trust. From the date of the Initial Public Offering until the Restriction Termination Date:

(A) every Beneficial Owner of more than 5% (or such other lower percentages as required pursuant to regulations under the Code) of the number or value of any class or series of Common Stock or Preferred Stock of the Trust shall, within 30 days after January 1 of each year, give written notice to the Trust stating the name and address of such Beneficial Owner, the number of Shares of such class or series of Common Stock or Preferred Stock Beneficially Owned, and a description of how such Shares are held. Each such Beneficial Owner shall provide to the Trust such additional information as the Trust may reasonably request in order to determine the effect, if any, of such Beneficial Ownership on the Trust's status as a REIT and to ensure compliance with the Ownership Limit.

(B) each Person who is a Beneficial Owner of Shares and each Person (including the shareholder of record) who is holding Shares for a Beneficial Owner shall provide to the Trust in writing such information with respect to direct, indirect and constructive ownership of Shares as the Board of Trustees deems reasonably necessary to comply with the provisions of the Code applicable to a REIT, to determine the Trust's status as a REIT, to comply with the requirements of any taxing authority or governmental agency or to determine any such compliance.

Section 7. Other Actions by Board. Subject to Section 2 of this Article NINTH, nothing contained in this Article NINTH shall limit the authority of the Board of Trustees to take such other action as it deems necessary or advisable to protect the Trust and the interests of its shareholders by preservation of the Trust's status as a REIT, provided, however, that no provision of this Section 7 shall preclude the settlement of any transaction entered into through the facilities of the New York Stock Exchange.

Section 8. Ambiguities. In the case of an ambiguity in the application of any of the provisions of this Article NINTH, including any definition contained in Section 1, the Board of Trustees shall have the power to determine the application of the provisions of this Article NINTH with respect to any situation based on the facts known to it. In the event this Article NINTH requires or permits an action by the Board of Trustees and the Declaration of Trust fails to provide specific guidance with respect to such action, the Board of Trustees shall have the power to determine the action to be taken so long as such action is not contrary to the provisions of Article NINTH.

Section 9. Increase or Decrease in Ownership Limits. Subject to the limitations provided in Section 10 of this Article NINTH, the Board of Trustees may from time to time increase or decrease the Ownership Limit; provided, however, that any decrease may only be made prospectively as to subsequent holders (other than a decrease as a result of a retroactive change in existing law that would require a decrease to retain REIT status, in which case such decrease shall be effective immediately).

Section 10. Limitations on Changes in Ownership Limits.

(A) The Ownership Limit may not be increased if, after giving effect to such increase, five individual Beneficial Owners of Shares could Beneficially Own, in the aggregate, more than 49.9% in number or value of the outstanding Shares.

(B) Prior to the modification of any Ownership Limit pursuant to Section 9 of this Article NINTH, the Board of Trustees may require such opinions of counsel, affidavits, undertakings or agreements as it may deem necessary or advisable in order to determine or ensure the Trust's status as a REIT.

(C) No Ownership Limit may be increased to a percentage which is greater than 9.9%.

Section 11. Waivers by the Board. The Board of Trustees with a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service, an opinion of counsel to the effect that such exemption will not result in the Trust being "closely held" within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code, or such other evidence as the Board of Trustees deems necessary in its sole discretion may exempt, on such conditions and terms as the Board of Trustees deems necessary in its sole discretion, a Person from the Ownership Limit if the Board of Trustees obtains such representations and undertakings from such Person as the Board of Trustees may deem appropriate and such Person agrees that any violation of the terms of such exemption or attempted violation of the same will result in, to the extent necessary, the designation of Shares held by such Person as Excess Shares in accordance with Section 3 of this Article NINTH.

Section 12. Legend. Each certificate for Shares shall bear substantially the following legend:

The securities represented by this certificate are subject to restrictions on ownership and transfer for the purpose of the Trust's maintenance of its status as a real estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Except as otherwise provided pursuant to the Declaration of Trust of the Trust, no Person may Beneficially Own Shares in excess of 9.8% (or such greater percentage as may be determined by the Board of Trustees of the Trust) of the number or value of the outstanding Shares of any class or series of the Common Stock or Preferred Stock of the Trust. Any Person who attempts or proposes to Beneficially Own Shares in excess of the above limitations must notify the Trust in writing at least 15 days prior to such proposed or attempted Transfer. All capitalized terms in this legend have the meanings defined in the Declaration of Trust of the Trust, a copy of which, including the restrictions on transfer, will be furnished to each shareholder on request and without charge. If the restrictions on transfer are violated, the securities represented hereby which are in excess of the above limitations will be designated and treated as Excess Shares which will be held in trust by the Excess Share Trustee for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary.

Instead of the foregoing legend, the certificate may state that the Trust will furnish a full statement about certain restrictions on transferability to a shareholder on request and without charge.

Section 13. Severability. If any provision of this Article NINTH or any application of any such provision is determined to be void, invalid or unenforceable by any court having jurisdiction over the issue, the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall be affected only to the extent necessary to comply with the determination of such court.

Section 14. Transfer of Excess Shares. Upon any purported Transfer that results in Excess Shares pursuant to Section 3 of this Article NINTH, such Excess Shares shall be deemed to have been transferred to the Excess Share Trustee, as trustee of a special trust for the exclusive benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary. The Trust shall name a Charitable Beneficiary, if one does not already exist, within five days of the discovery of any designation of any Excess Shares; however, the failure to so name a Charitable Beneficiary shall not affect the designation of Shares as Excess Shares or the transfer thereof to the Excess Share Trustee. Excess Shares so held in trust shall be issued and outstanding Shares of the Trust. The Purported Record Transferee or Purported Record Holder shall have no rights in such Excess Shares except as provided in Section 17 of this Article NINTH.

Section 15. Distributions on Excess Shares. Any dividends (whether taxable as a dividend, return of capital or otherwise) on Excess Shares shall be paid to the Excess Share Trust for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the Purported Record Transferee shall receive, for each Excess Share,

the lesser of (1) the amount per share of any distribution made upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up or (2) the price paid by the Purported Record Transferee for the Excess Shares, or if the Purported Record Transferee did not give value for the Excess Shares, the Fair Market Value of the Excess Shares on the day of the event causing the Excess Shares to be held in trust. Any such dividend paid or distribution paid to the Purported Record Transferee in excess of the amount provided in the preceding sentence prior to the discovery by the Trust that the Shares with respect to which the dividend or distribution was made had been designated as Excess Shares shall be repaid, upon demand, to the Excess Share Trust for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary.

Section 16. Voting of Excess Shares. The Excess Share Trustee shall be entitled to vote the Excess Shares on behalf of the Charitable Beneficiary on any matter. Subject to Maryland law, any vote cast by a Purported Record Transferee with respect to the Excess Shares prior to the discovery by the Trust that the Excess Shares were held in trust will be rescinded ab initio; provided, however, that if the Trust has already taken irreversible action with respect to a merger, reorganization, sale of all or substantially all the assets, dissolution of the Trust or other action by the Trust, then the vote cast by the Purported Record Transferee shall not be rescinded. The owner of the Excess Shares will be deemed to have given an irrevocable proxy to the Excess Share Trustee to vote the Excess Shares for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article NINTH, until the Trust has received notification that Excess Shares have been transferred into an Excess Share Trust, the Trust shall be entitled to rely on its share transfer and other shareholder records for purposes of preparing lists of shareholders entitled to vote at meetings, determining the validity and authority of proxies and otherwise conducting votes of shareholders.

Section 17. Non-Transferability of Excess Shares. Excess Shares shall be transferable only as provided in this Section 17. At the direction of the Board of Trustees, the Excess Share Trustee shall transfer the Shares held in the Excess Share Trust to a Person or Persons whose ownership of such Shares will not violate the Ownership Limit. If such a transfer is made to such a Person or Persons, the interest of the Charitable Beneficiary shall terminate and proceeds of the sale shall be payable to the Purported Record Transferee and to the Charitable Beneficiary. The Purported Record Transferee shall receive the lesser of (1) the price paid by the Purported Record Transferee for the Shares or, if the Purported Record Transferee did not give value for the Shares, the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the day of the event causing the Shares to be held in trust, or (2) the price received by the Excess Share Trust from the sale or other disposition of the Shares. Any proceeds in excess of the amount payable to the Purported Record Transferee will be paid to the Charitable Beneficiary. The Excess Share Trustee shall be under no obligation to obtain the highest possible price for the Excess Shares. Prior to any transfer of any Excess Shares by the Excess Share Trustee, the Trust must have waived in writing its purchase rights under Section 18. It is expressly understood that the Purported Record Transferee may enforce the provisions of this Section against the Charitable Beneficiary.

If any of the foregoing restrictions on transfer of Excess Shares is determined to be void, invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Purported Record Transferee may be deemed, at the option of the Trust, to have acted as an agent of the Trust in acquiring such Excess Shares in trust and to hold such Excess Shares on behalf of the Trust.

Section 18. Call by Trust on Excess Shares. Excess Shares shall be deemed to have been offered for sale to the Trust, or its designee, at a price per Share equal to the lesser of (a) the price per Share in the transaction that created such Excess Shares (or, in the case of a devise, gift or other transaction in which no value was given for such Excess Shares, the Fair Market Value at the time of such devise, gift or other transaction) and (b) the Fair Market Value of the Excess Shares on the date the Trust, or its designee, accepts such offer (the "Redemption Price"). The Trust shall have the right to accept such offer for a period of ninety days after the later of (x) the date of the Purported Transfer which resulted in such Excess Shares and (y) the date the Board of Trustees determines in good faith that a Transfer resulting in Excess Shares has occurred, if the Trust does not receive a notice of such Transfer pursuant to Section 5 of this Article NINTH but in no event later than a permitted Transfer pursuant to and in compliance with the terms of Section 17 of this Article NINTH. Unless the Board of Trustees determines that it is in the interests of the Trust to make earlier payments of all of the amount determined as the

Redemption Price per Share in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Redemption Price may be payable at the option of the Board of Trustees at any time up to but not later than the five years after the date the Trust accepts the offer to purchase the Excess Shares. In no event shall the Trust have an obligation to pay interest to the Purported Record Transferee.

Section 19. Underwritten Offerings. The Ownership Limit shall not apply to the acquisition of Shares or rights, options or warrants for, or securities convertible into, Shares by an underwriter in a public offering, provided that the underwriter makes a timely distribution of such Shares or rights, options or warrants for, or securities convertible into, Shares.

Section 20. Enforcement. The Trust is authorized specifically to seek equitable relief, including injunctive relief, to enforce the provisions of this Article NINTH.

Section 21. Non-Waiver. No delay or failure on the part of the Trust or the Board of Trustees in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any right of the Trust or the Board of Trustees, as the case may be, except to the extent specifically waived in writing.

TENTH:

Section 1. Meetings. There shall be an annual meeting of the shareholders, to be held on such notice and at such time (after the delivery of the annual report) and location, within or without the State of Maryland, as shall be determined by or in the manner prescribed in the Bylaws, for the election of the Trustees, if required, and for the transaction of any other business within the powers of the Trust. Except as otherwise provided in the Declaration of Trust, special meetings of shareholders may be called in the manner provided in the Bylaws. If there are no Trustees, the officers of the Trust shall promptly call a special meeting of the shareholders entitled to vote for the election of successor Trustees. Any meeting may be adjourned and reconvened as the Trustees determine or as provided in the Bylaws.

Section 2. Voting Rights. Subject to the provisions of any class or series of Shares then outstanding, the shareholders shall be entitled to vote only on the following matters: (a) election of Trustees as provided in ARTICLE FIFTH and the removal of Trustees as provided in ARTICLE FIFTH; (b) amendment of the Declaration of Trust as provided in ARTICLE TWELFTH; (c) termination of the Trust as provided in ARTICLE FIFTEENTH; (d) merger or consolidation of the Trust, or the sale or disposition of substantially all of the Trust Property, as provided in ARTICLE FOURTEENTH; and (e) such other matters with respect to which the Board of Trustees has adopted a resolution declaring that a proposed action is advisable and directing that the matter be submitted to the shareholders for approval or ratification. Except with respect to the foregoing matters, no action taken by the shareholders at any meeting shall in any way bind the Board of Trustees. Elections of Trustees need not be by written ballot unless the Bylaws of the Trust so provide.

Section 3. Preemptive and Appraisal Rights. Except as may be provided by the Board of Trustees in setting the terms of classified or reclassified Shares pursuant to ARTICLE EIGHTH or as may be otherwise agreed by contract, no holder of Shares shall, as such holder, (a) have any preemptive right to purchase or subscribe for any additional Shares of the Trust or any other security of the Trust which it may issue or sell or (b) except as expressly required by Title 8, have any right to require the Trust to pay him the fair value of his Shares in an appraisal or similar proceeding.

Section 4. Shareholder Vote. Except as specifically provided in ARTICLE FIFTH, notwithstanding any provision of law permitting or requiring any action to be taken or authorized by the affirmative vote of the holders of a greater number of votes, any such action shall be effective and valid if taken or authorized by a majority of the number of votes entitled to be cast on the matter.

Section 5. Board Approval. The submission of any action to the shareholders for their consideration shall first be approved by the Board of Trustees.

Section 6. Actions by Shareholders without a Meeting. The Bylaws of the Trust may provide that any action required or permitted to be taken by the shareholders may be taken without a meeting by the written consent of the shareholders entitled to cast a sufficient number of votes to approve the matter as required by statute, the Declaration of Trust or the Bylaws of the Trust, as the case may be.

Section 7. Books. The books of the Trust may be kept (subject to applicable law) outside the State of Maryland at such place or places as may be designated from time to time by the Board of Trustees or in the Bylaws of the Trust.

ELEVENTH: The Trust reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision contained in this Declaration of Trust (including the contract rights of any outstanding Shares) in the manner now or hereafter prescribed or permitted by statute. All rights at any time conferred upon the shareholders of the Trust by this Declaration of Trust are granted subject to the reservations in this Article ELEVENTH.

TWELFTH: Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, any amendment to this Declaration of Trust shall be approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast on the matter. The Board of Trustees may amend this Declaration of Trust from time to time to qualify the Trust as a REIT under the Code or Title 8 by the affirmative vote of not less than two thirds of the Trustees, without the consent of any shareholders.

THIRTEENTH: To the maximum extent that Maryland law in effect from time to time permits limitation of the liability of trustees and officers, no trustee or officer of the Trust shall be liable to the Trust or its shareholders for money damages. Neither the amendment nor repeal of this Article THIRTEENTH, nor the adoption or amendment of any other provision of the Declaration of Trust or Bylaws of the Trust inconsistent with this Article THIRTEENTH, shall apply to or affect in any respect the applicability of the preceding sentence with respect to any act or failure to act which occurred prior to such amendment, repeal or adoption. In the absence of any Maryland statute limiting the liability of trustees and officers of a Maryland real estate investment trust for money damages in a suit by or on behalf of the Trust or by any shareholder, no Trustee or officer of the Trust shall be liable to the Trust or to any shareholder for money damages except to the extent that (a) the Trustee or officer actually received an improper benefit or profit in money, property, or services, in which event such Trustee or officer shall be liable for the amount of the benefit or profit in money, property, or services actually received; or (b) a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to the Trustee or officer is entered in a proceeding based on a finding in the proceeding that the Trustee's or officer's action or failure to act was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and was material to the cause of action adjudicated in the proceeding.

FOURTEENTH: Subject to the provisions of any class or series of Shares at the time outstanding, the Trust may (a) merge the Trust with or into another entity, (b) consolidate the Trust with one or more other entities into a new entity or (c) sell, lease, exchange or otherwise transfer all or substantially all of the Trust Property. Any such action must be approved by the Board of Trustees in the manner provided in Title 8 and, after notice to all shareholders entitled to vote on the matter, by the affirmative vote of a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast on the matter.

FIFTEENTH:

Section 1. Duration. The Trust shall continue perpetually unless terminated pursuant to Section 2 of this ARTICLE FIFTEENTH or any applicable provision of Title 8.

Section 2. Termination.

(a)    Subject to the provisions of any class or series of Shares at the time outstanding, the Trust may be terminated at any meeting of shareholders, by the affirmative vote of a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast on the matter. Upon the termination of the Trust:

(i)    The Trust shall carry on no business except for the purpose of winding up its affairs.

(ii)    The Trustees shall proceed to wind up the affairs of the Trust and all of the powers of the Trustees under the Declaration of Trust shall continue, including the powers to fulfill or discharge the Trust's contracts, collect its assets, sell, convey, assign, exchange, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the remaining property of the Trust to one or more persons at public or private sale for consideration which may consist in whole or in part of cash, securities or other property of any kind, discharge or pay its liabilities and do all other acts appropriate to liquidate its business.

(iii)    After paying or adequately providing for the payment of all liabilities, and upon receipt of such releases, indemnities and agreements as the Board of Trustees deem necessary for their protection, the Trust may distribute the remaining property of the Trust among the shareholders so that after payment in full or the setting apart for payment of such preferential amounts, if any, to which the holders of any Shares at the time outstanding shall be entitled, the remaining property of the Trust shall, subject to any participating or similar rights of Shares at the time outstanding, be distributed ratably among the holders of Common Shares at the time outstanding.

(b) After termination of the Trust, the liquidation of its business and the distribution to the shareholders as herein provided, a majority of the Trustees shall execute and file with the Trust's records a document certifying that the Trust has been duly terminated, and the Trustees shall be discharged from all liabilities and duties hereunder, and the rights and interests of all shareholders shall cease.

SIXTEENTH: The undersigned Chairman acknowledges this Declaration of Trust to be the act of the Trust and as to all matters or facts required to be verified under oath, the undersigned Chairman acknowledges that to the best of his knowledge, information and belief, these matters and facts are true in all material respects and that this statement is made under the penalties for perjury.

SEVENTEENTH: This Declaration of Trust is executed by the undersigned Trustee and delivered in the State of Maryland with reference to the laws thereof, and the rights of all parties and the validity, construction and effect of every provision hereof shall be subject to and construed according to the laws of the State of Maryland without regard to conflicts of laws provisions thereof.

EIGHTEENTH: Any certificate shall be final and conclusive as to any person dealing with the Trust if executed by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Trust or a Trustee, and if certifying to: (a) the number or identity of Trustees, officers of the Trust or shareholders; (b) the due authorization of the execution of any document; (c) the action or vote taken, and the existence of a quorum, at a meeting of the Board of Trustees or shareholders; (d) a copy of the Declaration of Trust or of the Bylaws as a true and complete copy as then in force; (e) an amendment to the Declaration of Trust; (f) the termination of the Trust; or (g) the existence of any fact relating to the affairs of the Trust. No purchaser, lender, transfer agent or other person shall be bound to make any inquiry concerning the validity of any transaction purporting to be made by the Trust on its behalf or by any officer, employee or agent of the Trust.

NINETEENTH: In this Declaration of Trust, unless the context otherwise requires, words used in the singular or in the plural include both the plural and singular and words denoting any gender include all genders. The title and headings of different parts are inserted for convenience and shall not affect the meaning, construction or effect of this Declaration of Trust. In defining or interpreting the powers and duties of the Trust and its Trustees and officers, reference may be made by the Trustees or officers, to the extent appropriate and not inconsistent with the Code or Title 8, to Titles 1 through 3 of the Corporations and Associations Article of the Annotated Code of Maryland. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, in accordance with the provisions of Title 3, Subtitles 6 and 7, of the Corporations and Associations Article of the Annotated Code of Maryland, the Trust shall be included within the definition of "corporation" for purposes of such provisions.

W I T N E S S E T H

WHEREAS, the Issuer has heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee an indenture, dated as of June 30, 2010, as supplemented by supplemental indentures dated as of October 13, 2011, October 11, 2012, July 23, 2013, March 26, 2014, April 24, 2015 and September 28, 2015 (as so supplemented, the “Indenture”), providing for the issuance of 7.750% Senior Notes due 2020 (the “Notes”);

WHEREAS, the Indenture provides that under certain circumstances the Guaranteeing Subsidiaries shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which the Guaranteeing Subsidiaries shall unconditionally guarantee all of the Issuer’s Obligations (as defined in the Indenture) under the Notes and the Indenture on the terms and conditions set forth herein (the “Notes Guarantee”); and

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Indenture, the Trustee is authorized to execute and deliver this Supplemental Indenture.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Guaranteeing Subsidiaries and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes as follows:

1.Capitalized Terms. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

2.Agreement to Guarantee. The Guaranteeing Subsidiaries hereby agree as follows:

(a)Subject to Article 10 of the Indenture, the Guaranteeing Subsidiaries hereby, jointly and severally with all other Guarantors, unconditionally guarantee to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of the Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Issuer hereunder or thereunder, that:

(i)the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Issuer to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and

(ii)in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise.

Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately.

(b)The obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or the Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Issuer, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor, other than payment in full of all Obligations under the Notes.

(c)The following is hereby waived: diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuer, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever.

(d)This Notes Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and the Indenture, and each Guaranteeing Subsidiary accepts all obligations of a Guarantor under the Indenture.

(e)If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuer, the Guarantors, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Issuer or the Guarantors, any amount paid by either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Notes Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.

(f)The Guaranteeing Subsidiaries shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby.

(g)As between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 of the Indenture for the purposes of this Notes Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6 of the Indenture, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Notes Guarantee.

(h)The Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any nonpaying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under this Notes Guarantee.

(i)In accordance with Section 10.02 of the Indenture, after giving effect to any maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities that are relevant under any applicable Bankruptcy Law or fraudulent conveyance law, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under Article 10 of the Indenture, this Notes Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount permissible such that the obligations of such Guarantor under this Notes Guarantee will not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

3.Guaranteeing Subsidiaries may Consolidate, etc., on Certain Terms.

(a)No Guaranteeing Subsidiary may sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guaranteeing Subsidiary is the surviving Person) another Person, other than the Issuer or another Guarantor unless:

(i)immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists; and

(ii)subject to Section 10.05 of the Indenture, the Person acquiring the property in any such sale or disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger assumes all of the obligations of such Guaranteeing Subsidiary under the Indenture and this Notes Guarantee pursuant to a supplemental indenture in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee.

(b)In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and upon the assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of this Notes Guarantee endorsed upon the Notes and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of the Indenture to be performed by the Guaranteeing Subsidiary, such successor Person shall succeed to and be substituted for the Guaranteeing Subsidiary with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Guaranteeing Subsidiary. Such successor Person thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of the Notes Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Notes issuable under the Indenture which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Issuer and delivered to the Trustee. All the Notes Guarantees so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under the Indenture as the Notes Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of the Indenture as though all of such Notes Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.

(c)Except as set forth in Articles 4 and 5 and Section 10.04 of the Indenture, and notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, nothing contained in the Indenture or in any of the Notes shall prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guaranteeing Subsidiary with or into the Issuer or another Guarantor, or shall prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a Guaranteeing Subsidiary as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Issuer or another Guarantor.

4.Releases.

(a)The Notes Guarantee of a Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall be released, and any Person acquiring assets (including by way of merger or consolidation) or Capital Stock of a Guaranteeing Subsidiary under those circumstances specified in Section 10.05 of the Indenture shall not be required to assume the obligations of such Guaranteeing Subsidiary. Upon delivery by the Issuer to the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the provisions of Section 10.05 of the Indenture have been complied with, the Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of such Guaranteeing Subsidiary from its obligations under this Notes Guarantee.

(b)Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Notes Guarantee shall remain liable for the full amount of principal of and interest on the Notes and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under the Indenture as provided in Article 10 of the Indenture.

5.No Recourse Against Others. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, stockholder, equity holder or agent of a Guaranteeing Subsidiary, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer or a Guaranteeing Subsidiary under the Notes, this Notes Guarantee, the Indenture or this Supplemental Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of the Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. Such waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws and it is the view of the Commission that such a waiver is against public policy.

6.NEW YORK LAW TO GOVERN. THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE BUT WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.

7.Counterparts. The parties may sign any number of copies of this Supplemental Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement.

8.Effect of Headings. The Section headings herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

9.The Trustee. The Trustee shall not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for or in respect of the validity or sufficiency of this Supplemental Indenture or for or in respect of the recitals contained herein, all of which recitals are made solely by the Guaranteeing Subsidiaries and the Issuer.

Such successor Person thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of the Notes Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Notes issuable under the Indenture which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Issuer and delivered to the Trustee. All the Notes Guarantees so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under the Indenture as the Notes Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of the Indenture as though all of such Notes Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.

(c)Except as set forth in Articles 4 and 5 and Section 10.04 of the Indenture, and notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, nothing contained in the Indenture or in any of the Notes shall prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guaranteeing Subsidiary with or into the Issuer or another Guarantor, or shall prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a Guaranteeing Subsidiary as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Issuer or another Guarantor.

4.Releases.

(a)The Notes Guarantee of a Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall be released, and any Person acquiring assets (including by way of merger or consolidation) or Capital Stock of a Guaranteeing Subsidiary under those circumstances specified in Section 10.05 of the Indenture shall not be required to assume the obligations of such Guaranteeing Subsidiary. Upon delivery by the Issuer to the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the provisions of Section 10.05 of the Indenture have been complied with, the Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of such Guaranteeing Subsidiary from its obligations under this Notes Guarantee.

(b)Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Notes Guarantee shall remain liable for the full amount of principal of and interest on the Notes and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under the Indenture as provided in Article 10 of the Indenture.

5.No Recourse Against Others. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, stockholder, equity holder or agent of a Guaranteeing Subsidiary, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer or a Guaranteeing Subsidiary under the Notes, this Notes Guarantee, the Indenture or this Supplemental Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of the Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. Such waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws and it is the view of the Commission that such a waiver is against public policy.

6.NEW YORK LAW TO GOVERN. THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE BUT WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.

7.Counterparts. The parties may sign any number of copies of this Supplemental Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement.

8.Effect of Headings. The Section headings herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

9.The Trustee. The Trustee shall not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for or in respect of the validity or sufficiency of this Supplemental Indenture or for or in respect of the recitals contained herein, all of which recitals are made solely by the Guaranteeing Subsidiaries and the Issuer.

WHEREAS, the Issuer has heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee an indenture, dated as of June 18, 2013, as supplemented by supplemental indentures dated as of July 23, 2013, March 26, 2014, April 24, 2015 and September 28, 2015 (as so supplemented, the “Indenture”), providing for the issuance of 5.250% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “Notes”);

WHEREAS, the Indenture provides that under certain circumstances the Guaranteeing Subsidiaries shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which the Guaranteeing Subsidiaries shall unconditionally guarantee all of the Issuer’s Obligations (as defined in the Indenture) under the Notes and the Indenture on the terms and conditions set forth herein (the “Notes Guarantee”); and

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Guaranteeing Subsidiaries and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes as follows:

1.Capitalized Terms. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

2.Agreement to Guarantee. The Guaranteeing Subsidiaries hereby agree as follows:

(a)Subject to Article 10 of the Indenture, the Guaranteeing Subsidiaries hereby, jointly and severally with all other Guarantors, unconditionally guarantee to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of the Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Issuer hereunder or thereunder, that:

(i)the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Issuer to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and

(ii)in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise.

Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately.

(b)The obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or the Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Issuer, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor, other than payment in full of all Obligations under the Notes.

(c)The following is hereby waived: diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuer, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever.

(d)This Notes Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and the Indenture, and each Guaranteeing Subsidiary accepts all obligations of a Guarantor under the Indenture.

(e)If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuer, the Guarantors, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Issuer or the Guarantors, any amount paid by either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Notes Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.

(f)The Guaranteeing Subsidiaries shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby.

(g)As between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 of the Indenture for the purposes of this Notes Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6 of the Indenture, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Notes Guarantee.

(h)The Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any nonpaying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under this Notes Guarantee.

(i)In accordance with Section 10.02 of the Indenture, after giving effect to any maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities that are relevant under any applicable Bankruptcy Law or fraudulent conveyance law, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under Article 10 of the Indenture, this Notes Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount permissible such that the obligations of such Guarantor under this Notes Guarantee will not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

3.Guaranteeing Subsidiaries may Consolidate, etc., on Certain Terms.

(a)No Guaranteeing Subsidiary may sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guaranteeing Subsidiary is the surviving Person) another Person, other than the Issuer or another Guarantor unless:

(i)immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists; and

(ii)subject to Section 10.05 of the Indenture, the Person acquiring the property in any such sale or disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger assumes all of the obligations of such Guaranteeing Subsidiary under the Indenture and this Notes Guarantee pursuant to a supplemental indenture in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee.

(b)In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and upon the assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of this Notes Guarantee endorsed upon the Notes and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of the Indenture to be performed by the Guaranteeing Subsidiary, such successor Person shall succeed to and be substituted for the Guaranteeing Subsidiary with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Guaranteeing Subsidiary. Such successor Person thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of the Notes Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Notes issuable under the Indenture which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Issuer and delivered to the Trustee. All the Notes Guarantees so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under the Indenture as the Notes Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of the Indenture as though all of such Notes Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.

(c)Except as set forth in Articles 4 and 5 and Section 10.04 of the Indenture, and notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, nothing contained in the Indenture or in any of the Notes shall prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guaranteeing Subsidiary with or into the Issuer or another Guarantor, or shall prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a Guaranteeing Subsidiary as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Issuer or another Guarantor.

4.Releases.

Upon delivery by the Issuer to the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the provisions of Section 10.05 of the Indenture have been complied with, the Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of such Guaranteeing Subsidiary from its obligations under this Notes Guarantee.

(b)Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Notes Guarantee shall remain liable for the full amount of principal of and interest on the Notes and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under the Indenture as provided in Article 10 of the Indenture.

5.No Recourse Against Others. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, stockholder, equity holder or agent of a Guaranteeing Subsidiary, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer or a Guaranteeing Subsidiary under the Notes, this Notes Guarantee, the Indenture or this Supplemental Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of the Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. Such waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws and it is the view of the Commission that such a waiver is against public policy.

6.NEW YORK LAW TO GOVERN. THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE BUT WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.

7.Counterparts. The parties may sign any number of copies of this Supplemental Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement.

4.Releases.

(a)The Notes Guarantee of a Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall be released, and any Person acquiring assets (including by way of merger or consolidation) or Capital Stock of a Guaranteeing Subsidiary under those circumstances specified in Section 10.05 of the Indenture shall not be required to assume the obligations of such Guaranteeing Subsidiary.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. In addition, operating results for the six month period ended June 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016.

The Company consolidates certain entities when it is deemed to be the primary beneficiary in a variable interest entity (VIE) in which it has a controlling financial interest. A controlling financial interest will have both of the following characteristics: the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. This topic requires an ongoing reassessment.  The equity method of accounting is applied to entities in which the Company is not the primary beneficiary as defined in the Consolidation Topic of the FASB ASC, or does not have effective control, but can exercise influence over the entity with respect to its operations and major decisions.

The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015 has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on February 25, 2016.

Operating Segments

For financial reporting purposes, the Company groups its investments into four reportable operating segments: Entertainment, Education, Recreation and Other. See Note 14 for financial information related to these operating segments.

Rental Properties

Rental properties are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Costs incurred for the acquisition and development of the properties are capitalized. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which generally are estimated to be 30 to 40 years for buildings and 3 to 25 years for furniture, fixtures and equipment. Tenant improvements, including allowances, are depreciated over the shorter of the base term of the lease or the estimated useful life. Expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs are charged to operations in the period incurred. Significant renovations and improvements that improve or extend the useful life of the asset are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful life.

Management reviews a property for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a property may not be recoverable. The review of recoverability is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. If impairment exists due to the inability to recover the carrying value of the property, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying value of the property exceeds its estimated fair value.

The Company evaluates the held-for-sale classification of its real estate as of the end of each quarter. Assets that are classified as held for sale are recorded at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Assets are generally classified as held for sale once management has initiated an active program to market them for sale and has received a firm purchase commitment that is expected to close within one year. On occasion, the Company will receive unsolicited offers from third parties to buy individual Company properties. Under these circumstances, the Company will classify the properties as held for sale when a sales contract is executed with no contingencies and the prospective buyer has funds at risk to ensure performance.

Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred financing costs are amortized over the terms of the related debt obligations or mortgage note receivable as applicable. The Company early adopted the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issue Costs, during 2015 and applied the guidance retrospectively. Deferred financing costs of $16.8 million and $18.3 million as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, are shown as a reduction of debt. The deferred financing costs related to our unsecured revolving credit facility are included in other assets.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company makes estimates of the collectability of its accounts receivable related to base rents, tenant escalations (straight-line rents), reimbursements and other income. The Company specifically analyzes trends in accounts receivable, historical bad debts, customer creditworthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of its allowance for doubtful accounts. When evaluating customer creditworthiness, management reviews the periodic financial statements for significant tenants and specifically evaluates the strength and material changes in net operating income, coverage ratios, leverage and other factors to assess the tenant's credit quality. In addition, when customers are in bankruptcy, the Company makes estimates of the expected recovery through bankruptcy claims and increases the allowance for amounts deemed uncollectible. These estimates have a direct impact on the Company's net income.

Revenue Recognition

Rents that are fixed and determinable are recognized on a straight-line basis over the minimum term of the leases. Base rent escalation on leases that are dependent upon increases in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) is recognized when known. In addition, most of the Company's tenants are subject to additional rents if gross revenues of the properties exceed certain thresholds defined in the lease agreements (percentage rents). Percentage rents as well as participating interest for those mortgage agreements that contain similar such clauses are recognized at the time when specific triggering events occur as provided by the lease or mortgage agreements. Rental revenue included percentage rents of $1.0 million and $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company recognized no participating interest income in mortgage and other financing income for both the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, mortgage and other financing income included a $3.6 million prepayment fee related to a mortgage note that was paid fully in advance of its maturity date.

Direct financing lease income is recognized on the effective interest method to produce a level yield on funds not yet recovered. Estimated unguaranteed residual values at the date of lease inception represent management's initial estimates of fair value of the leased assets at the expiration of the lease, not to exceed original cost. Significant assumptions used in estimating residual values include estimated net cash flows over the remaining lease term and expected future real estate values. The Company evaluates on an annual basis (or more frequently, if necessary) the collectability of its direct financing lease receivable and unguaranteed residual value to determine whether they are impaired. A direct financing lease receivable is considered to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the existing contractual terms. When a direct financing lease receivable is considered to be impaired, the amount of loss is calculated by comparing the recorded investment to the value determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at the direct financing lease receivable's effective interest rate or to the fair value of the underlying collateral, less costs to sell, if such receivable is collateralized.

Mortgage Notes and Other Notes Receivable

Mortgage notes and other notes receivable, including related accrued interest receivable, consist of loans originated by the Company and the related accrued and unpaid interest income as of the balance sheet date. Mortgage notes and other notes receivable are initially recorded at the amount advanced to the borrower and the Company defers certain loan origination and commitment fees, net of certain origination costs, and amortizes them over the term of the related loan. Interest income on performing loans is accrued as earned. The Company evaluates the collectability of both interest and principal of each of its loans to determine whether it is impaired. A loan is considered to be impaired when, based on current information and events, the Company determines that it is probable that it will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the existing contractual terms. An insignificant delay or shortfall in amounts of payments does not necessarily result in the loan being identified as impaired. When a loan is considered to be impaired, the amount of loss, if any, is calculated by comparing the recorded investment to the value determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at the loan’s effective interest rate or to the fair value of the Company’s interest in the underlying collateral, less costs to sell, if the loan is collateral dependent. For impaired loans, interest income is recognized on a cash basis, unless the Company determines based on the loan to estimated fair value ratio the loan should be on the cost recovery method, and any cash payments received would then be reflected as a reduction of principal. Interest income recognition is recommenced if and when the impaired loan becomes contractually current and performance is demonstrated to be resumed.

Concentrations of Risk

American Multi-Cinema, Inc. (AMC) is the lessee of a substantial portion (24%) of the megaplex theatre rental properties held by the Company at June 30, 2016 primarily as a result of a series of sale leaseback transactions pertaining to AMC megaplex theatres. A substantial portion of the Company’s total revenues (approximately $43.6 million or 18% and $42.7 million or 21%, for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively) results from the revenue from AMC under the leases or from its parent, AMC Entertainment, Inc. (AMCE) as the guarantor of AMC’s obligations under the leases. AMCE is wholly owned by AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (AMCEH). AMCEH is a publicly held company (NYSE: AMC) and its consolidated financial information is publicly available at www.sec.gov.

Share-Based Compensation

Share-based compensation to employees of the Company is granted pursuant to the Company's Annual Incentive Program and Long-Term Incentive Plan and share-based compensation to non-employee Trustees of the Company is granted pursuant to the Company's Trustee compensation program. Prior to May 12, 2016, share-based compensation granted to employees and non-employee Trustees were issued under the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan. The 2016 Equity Incentive Plan was approved by shareholders at the May 11, 2016 annual shareholder meeting and this plan replaces the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan. Accordingly, all share-based compensation granted on or after May 12, 2016 will be issued under the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan.

Share-based compensation expense consists of share option expense and amortization of nonvested share grants issued to employees, and amortization of share units issued to non-employee Trustees for payment of their annual retainers. Share-based compensation included in general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of income totaled $5.5 million and $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Share-based compensation included in retirement severance expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of income totaled $6.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and related to the retirement of the Company's former President and Chief Executive Officer.

Share Options

Share options are granted to employees pursuant to the Long-Term Incentive Plan. The fair value of share options granted is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Share options granted to employees vest over a period of four years and share option expense for these options is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Expense recognized related to share options and included in general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of income was $460 thousand and $550 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Expense recognized related to share options and included in retirement severance expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of income was $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and related to the retirement of the Company's former President and Chief Executive Officer.

Nonvested Shares Issued to Employees

The Company grants nonvested shares to employees pursuant to both the Annual Incentive Program and the Long-Term Incentive Plan. The Company amortizes the expense related to the nonvested shares awarded to employees under the Long-Term Incentive Plan and the premium awarded under the nonvested share alternative of the Annual Incentive Program on a straight-line basis over the future vesting period (three or four years). Expense recognized related to nonvested shares and included in general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of income was $4.5 million and $3.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Expense related to nonvested shares and included in retirement severance expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of income was $5.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and related to the retirement of the Company's former President and Chief Executive Officer.

Restricted Share Units Issued to Non-Employee Trustees

The Company issues restricted share units to non-employee Trustees for payment of their annual retainers under the Company's Trustee compensation program. The fair value of the share units granted was based on the share price at the date of grant. The share units vest upon the earlier of the day preceding the next annual meeting of shareholders or a change of control. The settlement date for the shares is selected by the non-employee Trustee, and ranges from one year from the grant date to upon termination of service. This expense is amortized by the Company on a straight-line basis over the year of service by the non-employee Trustees. Total expense recognized related to shares issued to non-employee Trustees was $533 thousand and $524 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Derivative Instruments

The Company has acquired certain derivative instruments to reduce exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and variable interest rates. The Company has established policies and procedures for risk assessment and the approval, reporting and monitoring of derivative financial instrument activities. These derivatives consist of foreign currency forward contracts, cross-currency swaps and interest rate swaps.

The Company records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. Derivatives may also be designated as hedges of the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk in a fair value hedge or the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge. The Company may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain of its risk, even though hedge accounting does not apply or the Company elects not to apply hedge accounting.

The Company's policy is to measure the credit risk of its derivative financial instruments that are subject to master netting agreements on a net basis by counterparty portfolio.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The ASU does not apply to revenue recognition for lease contracts. In April 2015, the FASB voted for a one-year deferral of the effective date of the new revenue recognition standard which was approved in July 2015. The new standard will become effective for the Company beginning with the first quarter 2018. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, which amends existing accounting standards for lease accounting and is intended to improve financial reporting about lease transactions. The ASU will require lessees to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases. Lessor accounting will remain largely unchanged from current GAAP. The ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2016-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which amends ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. The objective of this amendment is part of the FASB's Simplification Initiative as it applies to several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification of cash flows. The effective date of the amendment is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently reviewing the ASU to assess the potential impact on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures but does not expect the adoption will have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which amends ASC Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. The standard changes the methodology for measuring credit losses on financial instruments and timing of when such losses are recorded. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Variable Interest Entities [Abstract]

Variable Interest Entities

Variable Interest Entities

The Company’s variable interest in VIEs currently are in the form of equity ownership and loans provided by the Company to a VIE or other partner. The Company examines specific criteria and uses its judgment when determining if the Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. Factors considered in determining whether the Company is the primary beneficiary include risk and reward sharing, experience and financial condition of other partner(s), voting rights, involvement in day-to-day capital and operating decisions, representation on a VIE’s executive committee, existence of unilateral kick-out rights or voting rights, and level of economic disproportionality between the Company and the other partner(s).

Consolidated VIEs

As of June 30, 2016, the Company had invested approximately $4.2 million in one real estate project which is a VIE. This entity does not have any significant assets and liabilities at June 30, 2016 and was established to facilitate the development of a theatre project.

Unconsolidated VIE

At June 30, 2016, the Company’s recorded investment in SVVI, a VIE that is unconsolidated, was $164.7 million. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss associated with SVVI is limited to the Company’s outstanding mortgage note of $164.7 million. While this entity is a VIE, the Company has determined that the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance is not held by the Company.

Summary of Derivative Instruments [Abstract]

Derivative Instruments

Derivative Instruments

All derivatives are recognized at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets within the line items "Other assets" and "Accounts payable and accrued liabilities" as applicable. The Company's derivatives are subject to a master netting arrangement and the Company has elected not to offset its derivative position for purposes of balance sheet presentation and disclosure. The Company had derivative liabilities of $9.7 million and $5.7 million recorded in “Accounts payable and accrued liabilities” and derivative assets of $31.9 million and $42.2 million recorded in “Other assets” in the consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Had the Company elected to offset derivatives in the consolidated balance sheet, the Company would have had a net derivative asset of $22.2 million and $36.5 million (with no derivative liability) at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.  The Company had not posted or received collateral with its derivative counterparties as of June 30, 2016 or December 31, 2015. See Note 10 for disclosures relating to the fair value of the derivative instruments as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives

The Company is exposed to certain risk arising from both its business operations and economic conditions including the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates on its LIBOR based borrowings. The Company manages this risk by following established risk management policies and procedures including the use of derivatives. The Company’s objective in using derivatives is to add stability to reported earnings and to manage its exposure to foreign exchange and interest rate movements or other identified risks. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps, cross-currency swaps and foreign currency forwards.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

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 on its LIBOR based borrowings. To accomplish this objective, the Company currently uses interest rate swaps as 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.

As of June 30, 2016, the Company had three interest rate swap agreements to fix the interest rate on $240.0 million of the unsecured term loan facility at 3.78% from January 5, 2016 to July 5, 2017.  Additionally as of June 30, 2016, the Company had two interest rate swap agreements to fix the interest rate at 2.94% on an additional $60.0 million of the unsecured term loan facility from September 8, 2015 to July 5, 2017 and on $300.0 million of the unsecured term loan facility from July 6, 2017 to April 5, 2019.

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of interest rate derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. During the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with existing variable-rate debt. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings. No hedge ineffectiveness on cash flow hedges was recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.

Amounts reported in AOCI related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt. As of June 30, 2016, the Company estimates that during the twelve months ending June 30, 2017, $5.2 million will be reclassified from AOCI to interest expense.

Cash Flow Hedges of Foreign Exchange Risk

The Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange risk against its functional currency, USD, on its four Canadian properties. The Company uses cross currency swaps and foreign currency forwards to mitigate its exposure to fluctuations in the USD-CAD exchange rate on its Canadian properties. These foreign currency derivatives should hedge a significant portion of the Company's expected CAD denominated cash flow of the Canadian properties as their impact on the Company's cash flow when settled should move in the opposite direction of the exchange rates used to translate revenues and expenses of these properties.

As of June 30, 2016, the Company had a USD-CAD cross-currency swaps with a fixed original notional value of $100.0 million CAD and $98.1 million USD. The net effect of these swaps is to lock in an exchange rate of $1.05 CAD per USD on approximately $13.5 million of annual CAD denominated cash flows on the properties through June 2018.

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of foreign currency derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges of foreign exchange risk is recorded in AOCI and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivative, as well as amounts excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness, is recognized directly in earnings. No hedge ineffectiveness on foreign currency derivatives was recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. As of June 30, 2016, the Company estimates that during the twelve months ending June 30, 2017, $2.4 million of gains will be reclassified from AOCI to other income.

Net Investment Hedges

As discussed above, the Company is exposed to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on its four Canadian properties. As such, the Company uses currency forward agreements to hedge its exposure to changes in foreign exchange rates. Currency forward agreements involve fixing the USD-CAD exchange rate for delivery of a specified amount of foreign currency on a specified date. The currency forward agreements are typically cash settled in USD for their fair value at or close to their settlement date. In order to hedge the net investment in four of the Canadian properties, on June 13, 2013 the Company entered into a forward contract with a fixed notional value of $100.0 million CAD and $94.3 million USD with a July 2018 settlement. The exchange rate of this forward contract is approximately $1.06 CAD per USD. Additionally, on February 28, 2014, the Company entered into a forward contract with a fixed notional value of $100.0 million CAD and $88.1 million USD with a July 2018 settlement date. The exchange rate of this forward contract is approximately $1.13 CAD per USD. These forward contracts should hedge a significant portion of the Company’s CAD denominated net investment in these four centers through July 2018 as the impact on AOCI from marking the derivative to market should move in the opposite direction of the translation adjustment on the net assets of these four Canadian properties.

For foreign currency derivatives designated as net investment hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivatives are reported in AOCI as part of the cumulative translation adjustment. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings. No hedge ineffectiveness on net investment hedges was recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. Amounts are reclassified out of AOCI into earnings when the hedged net investment is either sold or substantially liquidated.

Below is a summary of the effect of derivative instruments on the consolidated statements of changes in equity and income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features

The Company has agreements with each of its interest rate derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if the Company defaults on any of its obligations for borrowed money or credit in an amount exceeding $25.0 million and such default is not waived or cured within a specified period of time, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then the Company could also be declared in default on its interest rate derivative obligations.

As of June 30, 2016, the fair value of the Company’s derivatives in a liability position related to these agreements was $9.6 million. If the Company breached any of the contractual provisions of these derivative contracts, it would be required to settle its obligations under the agreements at their termination value, after considering the right of offset, of $1.0 million.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Disclosures

Fair Value Disclosures

The Company has certain financial instruments that are required to be measured under the FASB’s Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures guidance. The Company currently does not have any non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the FASB’s Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy). Level 1 inputs use quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which are typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company uses interest rate swaps, foreign currency forwards and cross-currency swaps to manage its interest rate and foreign currency risk. The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves, foreign exchange rates, and implied volatilities. The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts and the discounted expected variable cash payments. The variable cash payments are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. The Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees. In conjunction with the FASB's fair value measurement guidance, the Company made an accounting policy election to measure the credit risk of its derivative financial instruments that are subject to master netting agreements on a net basis by counterparty portfolio.

Although the Company determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives also use Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads, to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. As of June 30, 2016, the Company assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives and therefore, classified its derivatives as Level 2 within the fair value reporting hierarchy.

The table below presents the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements are classified and by derivative type.

Non-recurring fair value measurements

There were no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Management compares the carrying value to the estimated fair value of the Company’s financial instruments. The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015:

Mortgage notes receivable and related accrued interest receivable:

The fair value of the Company’s mortgage notes and related accrued interest receivable is estimated by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument using current market rates. At June 30, 2016, the Company had a carrying value of $424.9 million in fixed rate mortgage notes receivable outstanding, including related accrued interest, with a weighted average interest rate of approximately 9.33%. The fixed rate mortgage notes bear interest at rates of 5.50% to 11.31%. Discounting the future cash flows for fixed rate mortgage notes receivable using rates of 8.00% to 11.31%, management estimates the fair value of the fixed rate mortgage notes receivable to be approximately $417.9 million with an estimated weighted average market rate of 10.02% at June 30, 2016.

At December 31, 2015, the Company had a carrying value of $423.8 million in fixed rate mortgage notes receivable outstanding, including related accrued interest, with a weighted average interest rate of approximately 9.36%. The fixed rate mortgage notes bear interest at rates of 5.50% to 11.31%. Discounting the future cash flows for fixed rate mortgage notes receivable using rates of 8.50% to 11.31%, management estimates the fair value of the fixed rate mortgage notes receivable to be $415.7 million with an estimated weighted average market rate of 10.05% at December 31, 2015.

Investment in a direct financing lease, net:

The fair value of the Company’s investment in a direct financing lease is estimated by discounting the future cash flows of the instrument using current market rates. At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had an investment in a direct financing lease with a carrying value of $188.4 million and $190.9 million, respectively, and a weighted average effective interest rate of 12.00% for both periods. The investment in a direct financing lease bears interest at effective interest rates of 11.74% to 12.38%. The carrying value of the investment in a direct financing lease approximated the fair market value at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Derivative instruments:

Derivative instruments are carried at their fair market value.

Debt instruments:

The fair value of the Company's debt is estimated by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument using current market rates. At June 30, 2016, the Company had a carrying value of $722.0 million in variable rate debt outstanding with a weighted average interest rate of approximately 2.46%. The carrying value of the variable rate debt outstanding approximated the fair market value at June 30, 2016.

At December 31, 2015, the Company had a carrying value of $571.0 million in variable rate debt outstanding with an average weighted interest rate of approximately 1.65%. The carrying value of the variable rate debt outstanding approximated the fair market value at December 31, 2015.

At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, $300.0 million of variable rate debt outstanding under the Company's unsecured term loan facility had been effectively converted to a fixed rate through April 5, 2019 by interest rate swap agreements.

At June 30, 2016, the Company had a carrying value of $1.39 billion in fixed rate long-term debt outstanding with a weighted average interest rate of approximately 5.65%. Discounting the future cash flows for fixed rate debt using rates of 3.13% to 4.60%, management estimates the fair value of the fixed rate debt to be approximately $1.53 billion with an estimated weighted average market rate of 3.90% at June 30, 2016.

At December 31, 2015, the Company had a carrying value of $1.43 billion in fixed rate long-term debt outstanding with an average weighted interest rate of approximately 5.66%. Discounting the future cash flows for fixed rate debt using rates of 3.33% to 4.94%, management estimates the fair value of the fixed rate debt to be approximately $1.55 billion with an estimated weighted average market rate of 4.28% at December 31, 2015.

Outstanding at June 30, 2016	388,278		$	19.02	—	$	65.50	$	51.81

There were no options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2016. The weighted average fair value of options granted was $16.35 during the six months ended June 30, 2015. The intrinsic value of stock options exercised was $3.4 million and $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Additionally, the Company repurchased 86,337 shares into treasury shares in conjunction with the stock options exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2016 with a total value of $5.6 million. At June 30, 2016, stock-option expense to be recognized in future periods was $1.4 million.

The expense related to share options included in the determination of net income for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was $0.5 million and $1.9 million (including $1.4 million included in retirement severance expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of income), respectively. The following assumptions were used in applying the Black-Scholes option pricing model at the grant dates for the six months ended June 30, 2015: risk-free interest rate of 1.9%, dividend yield of 5.9%, volatility factors in the expected market price of the Company’s common shares of 48.0%, 0.78% expected forfeiture rate and an expected life of approximately six years. The Company uses historical data to estimate the expected life of the option and the risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Additionally, expected volatility is computed based on the average historical volatility of the Company’s publicly traded shares.

The following table summarizes outstanding options at June 30, 2016:

Other Commitments And Contingencies

Other Commitments and Contingencies

As of June 30, 2016, the Company had an aggregate of approximately $340.0 million of commitments to fund development projects including 16 entertainment development projects for which it had commitments to fund approximately $77.3 million, 25 education development projects for which it had commitments to fund approximately $192.8 million, and seven recreation development projects for which it had commitments to fund approximately $69.9 million. Development costs are advanced by the Company in periodic draws. If the Company determines that construction is not being completed in accordance with the terms of the development agreement, it can discontinue funding construction draws. The Company has agreed to lease the properties to the operators at pre-determined rates upon completion of construction.

Additionally as of June 30, 2016, the Company had a commitment to fund approximately $120.0 million over the next three years, of which none has been funded, to complete an indoor waterpark hotel and adventure park at the Adelaar casino and resort project in Sullivan County, New York. The Company is also responsible for the construction of the casino and resort project common infrastructure. In June 2016, the Sullivan County Infrastructure Local Development Corporation issued $110.0 million of Series 2016 Revenue Bonds which is expected to fund a substantial portion of such construction costs. The Company received an initial reimbursement of $43.4 million of construction costs and expects to receive an additional $44.9 million of reimbursements over the balance of the construction period. Construction of infrastructure improvements is expected to be completed in 2017.

The Company has certain commitments related to its mortgage note investments that it may be required to fund in the future. The Company is generally obligated to fund these commitments at the request of the borrower or upon the occurrence of events outside of its direct control. As of June 30, 2016, the Company had four mortgage notes receivable with commitments totaling approximately $14.3 million. If commitments are funded in the future, interest will be charged at rates consistent with the existing investments.

The Company has provided guarantees of the payment of certain economic development revenue bonds totaling $22.9 million related to two theatres in Louisiana for which the Company earns a fee at annual rates of 2.88% to 4.00% over the 30-year terms of the related bonds. The Company recorded $9.6 million as a deferred asset included in other assets and $9.6 million included in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2016 related to these guarantees. No amounts have been accrued as a loss contingency related to these guarantees because payment by the Company is not probable.

In connection with construction of its development projects and related infrastructure, certain public agencies require posting of surety bonds to guarantee that the Company's obligations are satisfied. These bonds expire upon the completion of the improvements or infrastructure. As of June 30, 2016, the Company had three surety bonds outstanding totaling $21.7 million.

Prior proposed casino and resort developers Concord Associates, L.P., Concord Resort, LLC and Concord Kiamesha LLC, which are affiliates of Louis Cappelli and from whom the Company acquired the Adelaar resort property (the Cappelli Group), commenced litigation against the Company beginning in 2011 regarding matters relating to the acquisition of that property and our relationship with the Empire Resorts, Inc. This litigation involves three separate cases filed in state and federal court.

The first case was filed on June 7, 2011 by the Cappelli Group in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Sullivan, against two subsidiaries of the Company. The Company obtained a summary judgment on June 30, 2014 in this case which was affirmed on appeal. As a result, this case is now closed.

The second case was filed on October 20, 2011 by the Cappelli Group against the Company and two of its affiliates in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Westchester (Westchester Action), asserting a claim for breach of contract and the implied covenant of good faith, and seeking damages of at least $800 million, based on the same allegations as in the action the Cappelli Group filed in Sullivan County Supreme Court. The Company moved to dismiss the Amended Complaint in Westchester County based on the Sullivan County Supreme Court’s June 30, 2014 decision (which has now been affirmed). On January 26, 2016, the Westchester County Supreme Court denied the Company's motion to dismiss but ordered the Cappelli Group to amend its pleading and remove all claims and allegations previously determined by the Sullivan County case (discussed above). On February 18, 2016, the Cappelli Group revised their amended complaint, which the Company believes remains deficient. On March 23, 2016, the Company filed with the Westchester County Supreme Court a motion to dismiss the Cappelli Group’s revised amended complaint. The motion is currently pending.

The third case was filed with the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the District Court) by Concord Associates L.P. and six other companies affiliated with Mr. Cappelli against the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, Empire Resorts, Inc. and Monticello Raceway Management, Inc. (collectively, Empire), and Kien Huat Realty III Limited and Genting New York LLC (collectively, Genting). The complaint alleged, among other things, that the Company had conspired with Empire to monopolize the racing and gaming market in the Catskills by entering into exclusivity and development agreements to develop a comprehensive resort destination in Sullivan County, New York. The plaintiffs were seeking $500 million in damages (trebled to $1.5 billion under antitrust law), punitive damages, and injunctive relief. On September 18, 2013, the District Court dismissed the complaint filed. Specifically, the District Court dismissed plaintiffs’ federal antitrust claims against all defendants with prejudice, and dismissed the pendent state law claims against Empire and Genting without prejudice, meaning they could be further pursued in state court. On October 2, 2013, the plaintiffs filed a motion for reconsideration with the District Court, seeking permission to file a Second Amended Complaint, and soon after filed a Notice of Appeal. The District Court denied the motion for reconsideration in an Opinion and Order dated November 3, 2014, and the plaintiffs perfected their appeal in the Second Circuit on or about December 17, 2014. On March 18, 2016, the Second Circuit affirmed the District Court’s dismissal of the case in favor of the Company, Empire and Genting. The plaintiffs did not file a writ of certiorari seeking review by the Supreme Court of the United States within the required time period. As a result, this case is now closed.

The Company has not determined that losses related to the remaining Westchester Action are probable. In light of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of litigation generally, the Company does not have sufficient information to determine the amount or range of reasonably possible loss with respect to these matters. The Company’s assessments are based on estimates and assumptions that have been deemed reasonable by management, but that may prove to be incomplete or inaccurate, and unanticipated events and circumstances may occur that might cause the Company to change those estimates and assumptions. The Company intends to vigorously defend the claims asserted against the Company and certain of its subsidiaries by the Cappelli Group and its affiliates, for which the Company believes it has meritorious defenses, but there can be no assurances as to the outcome of the claims and related litigation.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policy)

6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2016

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Deferred Charges, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred financing costs are amortized over the terms of the related debt obligations or mortgage note receivable as applicable. The Company early adopted the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issue Costs, during 2015 and applied the guidance retrospectively. Deferred financing costs of $16.8 million and $18.3 million as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, are shown as a reduction of debt. The deferred financing costs related to our unsecured revolving credit facility are included in other assets.

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. In addition, operating results for the six month period ended June 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016.

The Company consolidates certain entities when it is deemed to be the primary beneficiary in a variable interest entity (VIE) in which it has a controlling financial interest. A controlling financial interest will have both of the following characteristics: the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. This topic requires an ongoing reassessment.  The equity method of accounting is applied to entities in which the Company is not the primary beneficiary as defined in the Consolidation Topic of the FASB ASC, or does not have effective control, but can exercise influence over the entity with respect to its operations and major decisions.

The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015 has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on February 25, 2016.

Operating Segments

Operating Segments

For financial reporting purposes, the Company groups its investments into four reportable operating segments: Entertainment, Education, Recreation and Other. See Note 14 for financial information related to these operating segments.

Rental Properties

Rental Properties

Rental properties are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Costs incurred for the acquisition and development of the properties are capitalized. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which generally are estimated to be 30 to 40 years for buildings and 3 to 25 years for furniture, fixtures and equipment. Tenant improvements, including allowances, are depreciated over the shorter of the base term of the lease or the estimated useful life. Expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs are charged to operations in the period incurred. Significant renovations and improvements that improve or extend the useful life of the asset are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful life.

Management reviews a property for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a property may not be recoverable. The review of recoverability is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. If impairment exists due to the inability to recover the carrying value of the property, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying value of the property exceeds its estimated fair value.

The Company evaluates the held-for-sale classification of its real estate as of the end of each quarter. Assets that are classified as held for sale are recorded at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Assets are generally classified as held for sale once management has initiated an active program to market them for sale and has received a firm purchase commitment that is expected to close within one year. On occasion, the Company will receive unsolicited offers from third parties to buy individual Company properties. Under these circumstances, the Company will classify the properties as held for sale when a sales contract is executed with no contingencies and the prospective buyer has funds at risk to ensure performance.

Allowance For Doubtful Accounts

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company makes estimates of the collectability of its accounts receivable related to base rents, tenant escalations (straight-line rents), reimbursements and other income. The Company specifically analyzes trends in accounts receivable, historical bad debts, customer creditworthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of its allowance for doubtful accounts. When evaluating customer creditworthiness, management reviews the periodic financial statements for significant tenants and specifically evaluates the strength and material changes in net operating income, coverage ratios, leverage and other factors to assess the tenant's credit quality. In addition, when customers are in bankruptcy, the Company makes estimates of the expected recovery through bankruptcy claims and increases the allowance for amounts deemed uncollectible. These estimates have a direct impact on the Company's net income.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

Rents that are fixed and determinable are recognized on a straight-line basis over the minimum term of the leases. Base rent escalation on leases that are dependent upon increases in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) is recognized when known. In addition, most of the Company's tenants are subject to additional rents if gross revenues of the properties exceed certain thresholds defined in the lease agreements (percentage rents). Percentage rents as well as participating interest for those mortgage agreements that contain similar such clauses are recognized at the time when specific triggering events occur as provided by the lease or mortgage agreements. Rental revenue included percentage rents of $1.0 million and $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company recognized no participating interest income in mortgage and other financing income for both the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, mortgage and other financing income included a $3.6 million prepayment fee related to a mortgage note that was paid fully in advance of its maturity date.

Direct financing lease income is recognized on the effective interest method to produce a level yield on funds not yet recovered. Estimated unguaranteed residual values at the date of lease inception represent management's initial estimates of fair value of the leased assets at the expiration of the lease, not to exceed original cost. Significant assumptions used in estimating residual values include estimated net cash flows over the remaining lease term and expected future real estate values. The Company evaluates on an annual basis (or more frequently, if necessary) the collectability of its direct financing lease receivable and unguaranteed residual value to determine whether they are impaired. A direct financing lease receivable is considered to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the existing contractual terms. When a direct financing lease receivable is considered to be impaired, the amount of loss is calculated by comparing the recorded investment to the value determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at the direct financing lease receivable's effective interest rate or to the fair value of the underlying collateral, less costs to sell, if such receivable is collateralized.

Mortgage Notes And Other Notes Receivable

Mortgage Notes and Other Notes Receivable

Mortgage notes and other notes receivable, including related accrued interest receivable, consist of loans originated by the Company and the related accrued and unpaid interest income as of the balance sheet date. Mortgage notes and other notes receivable are initially recorded at the amount advanced to the borrower and the Company defers certain loan origination and commitment fees, net of certain origination costs, and amortizes them over the term of the related loan. Interest income on performing loans is accrued as earned. The Company evaluates the collectability of both interest and principal of each of its loans to determine whether it is impaired. A loan is considered to be impaired when, based on current information and events, the Company determines that it is probable that it will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the existing contractual terms. An insignificant delay or shortfall in amounts of payments does not necessarily result in the loan being identified as impaired. When a loan is considered to be impaired, the amount of loss, if any, is calculated by comparing the recorded investment to the value determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at the loan’s effective interest rate or to the fair value of the Company’s interest in the underlying collateral, less costs to sell, if the loan is collateral dependent. For impaired loans, interest income is recognized on a cash basis, unless the Company determines based on the loan to estimated fair value ratio the loan should be on the cost recovery method, and any cash payments received would then be reflected as a reduction of principal. Interest income recognition is recommenced if and when the impaired loan becomes contractually current and performance is demonstrated to be resumed.

Concentrations Of Risk

Concentrations of Risk

American Multi-Cinema, Inc. (AMC) is the lessee of a substantial portion (24%) of the megaplex theatre rental properties held by the Company at June 30, 2016 primarily as a result of a series of sale leaseback transactions pertaining to AMC megaplex theatres. A substantial portion of the Company’s total revenues (approximately $43.6 million or 18% and $42.7 million or 21%, for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively) results from the revenue from AMC under the leases or from its parent, AMC Entertainment, Inc. (AMCE) as the guarantor of AMC’s obligations under the leases. AMCE is wholly owned by AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (AMCEH). AMCEH is a publicly held company (NYSE: AMC) and its consolidated financial information is publicly available at www.sec.gov.

Share-Based Compensation

Share-Based Compensation

Share-based compensation to employees of the Company is granted pursuant to the Company's Annual Incentive Program and Long-Term Incentive Plan and share-based compensation to non-employee Trustees of the Company is granted pursuant to the Company's Trustee compensation program. Prior to May 12, 2016, share-based compensation granted to employees and non-employee Trustees were issued under the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan. The 2016 Equity Incentive Plan was approved by shareholders at the May 11, 2016 annual shareholder meeting and this plan replaces the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan. Accordingly, all share-based compensation granted on or after May 12, 2016 will be issued under the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan.

Share-based compensation expense consists of share option expense and amortization of nonvested share grants issued to employees, and amortization of share units issued to non-employee Trustees for payment of their annual retainers. Share-based compensation included in general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of income totaled $5.5 million and $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Share-based compensation included in retirement severance expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of income totaled $6.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and related to the retirement of the Company's former President and Chief Executive Officer.

Share Options

Share Options

Share options are granted to employees pursuant to the Long-Term Incentive Plan. The fair value of share options granted is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Share options granted to employees vest over a period of four years and share option expense for these options is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Expense recognized related to share options and included in general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of income was $460 thousand and $550 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Expense recognized related to share options and included in retirement severance expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of income was $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and related to the retirement of the Company's former President and Chief Executive Officer.

Nonvested Shares Issued To Employees

Nonvested Shares Issued to Employees

The Company grants nonvested shares to employees pursuant to both the Annual Incentive Program and the Long-Term Incentive Plan. The Company amortizes the expense related to the nonvested shares awarded to employees under the Long-Term Incentive Plan and the premium awarded under the nonvested share alternative of the Annual Incentive Program on a straight-line basis over the future vesting period (three or four years). Expense recognized related to nonvested shares and included in general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of income was $4.5 million and $3.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Expense related to nonvested shares and included in retirement severance expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of income was $5.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and related to the retirement of the Company's former President and Chief Executive Officer.

Restricted Share Units Issued To Non-Employee Trustees

Restricted Share Units Issued to Non-Employee Trustees

The Company issues restricted share units to non-employee Trustees for payment of their annual retainers under the Company's Trustee compensation program. The fair value of the share units granted was based on the share price at the date of grant. The share units vest upon the earlier of the day preceding the next annual meeting of shareholders or a change of control. The settlement date for the shares is selected by the non-employee Trustee, and ranges from one year from the grant date to upon termination of service. This expense is amortized by the Company on a straight-line basis over the year of service by the non-employee Trustees. Total expense recognized related to shares issued to non-employee Trustees was $533 thousand and $524 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Derivative Instruments

Derivative Instruments

The Company has acquired certain derivative instruments to reduce exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and variable interest rates. The Company has established policies and procedures for risk assessment and the approval, reporting and monitoring of derivative financial instrument activities. These derivatives consist of foreign currency forward contracts, cross-currency swaps and interest rate swaps.

The Company records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. Derivatives may also be designated as hedges of the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk in a fair value hedge or the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge. The Company may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain of its risk, even though hedge accounting does not apply or the Company elects not to apply hedge accounting.

The Company's policy is to measure the credit risk of its derivative financial instruments that are subject to master netting agreements on a net basis by counterparty portfolio.

New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The ASU does not apply to revenue recognition for lease contracts. In April 2015, the FASB voted for a one-year deferral of the effective date of the new revenue recognition standard which was approved in July 2015. The new standard will become effective for the Company beginning with the first quarter 2018. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, which amends existing accounting standards for lease accounting and is intended to improve financial reporting about lease transactions. The ASU will require lessees to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases. Lessor accounting will remain largely unchanged from current GAAP. The ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2016-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which amends ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. The objective of this amendment is part of the FASB's Simplification Initiative as it applies to several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification of cash flows. The effective date of the amendment is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently reviewing the ASU to assess the potential impact on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures but does not expect the adoption will have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which amends ASC Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. The standard changes the methodology for measuring credit losses on financial instruments and timing of when such losses are recorded. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
