(1) ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Retail Properties of America, Inc. (the Company) was formed on March 5, 2003 and its primary purpose is to own and operate high quality, strategically located open-air shopping centers, including properties with a mixed-use component. As of September 30, 2021, the Company owned 102 retail operating properties in the United States.

 

On July 18, 2021, the Company entered into a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger (Merger Agreement) with Kite Realty Group Trust (Kite) and KRG Oak, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Kite (Merger Sub). Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, the Company will merge with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub surviving the merger (Merger). At the effective time of the Merger (Effective Time), each share of Class A common stock of the Company issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into the right to receive 0.623 common shares of Kite, plus the right, if any, to receive cash in lieu of fractional common shares of Kite. During the period from the date of the Merger Agreement until the completion of the Merger, the Company is subject to certain restrictions on its ability to engage with third parties regarding alternative acquisition proposals and on the conduct of the Company’s business.

 

On October 19, 2021, the Company and Kite each held a special meeting of shareholders at which both shareholder groups approved the respective Merger-related proposals. The closing of the Merger is expected to occur on October 22, 2021, subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions; however, there can be no assurance that (i) all closing conditions will be satisfied or waived by October 22, 2021, (ii) the Merger will close on October 22, 2021 or (iii) the Merger will be consummated.

 

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded costs of $6,196 associated with the Merger, which is included within “Other (expense) income, net” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income (loss). In addition, the Company estimates approximately $55,000 to $65,000 of Merger-related costs will be incurred, which are primarily related to compensation and financial, legal, tax and audit advisors. This estimate is based on the best information available to management and may be impacted by future developments related to the Merger that could result in inaccurate estimates that could be material to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (REIT) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code). The Company believes it qualifies for taxation as a REIT and, as such, the Company generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on taxable income that is distributed to its shareholders. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on its taxable income. Even if the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income, property or net worth and U.S. federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income. The Company has one wholly owned subsidiary that has jointly elected to be treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary (TRS) and is subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes at regular corporate tax rates. The income tax expense incurred by the TRS did not have a material impact on the Company’s accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. These estimates and assumptions are based on the best information available to management and may be impacted by future developments related to the Merger, including decisions made by the management of Kite with respect to such estimates and assumptions, which, in each case, could result in estimates and assumptions that differ materially from those made by the Company’s management and could be material to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. For example, significant estimates and assumptions have been made with respect to (i) the reserve for uncollectible lease income, (ii) provision for impairment, including estimates of holding periods, capitalization rates and discount rates (where applicable), and (iii) initial valuations and related amortization periods of deferred costs and intangibles, particularly with respect to property acquisitions and initial recognition of right-of-use lease assets and lease liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

All dollar amounts and share amounts in these condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto are stated in thousands with the exception of per share, per square foot and per unit amounts.

In response to macroeconomic conditions related to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the Company halted plans for vertical construction at its Carillon redevelopment during 2020 and materially reduced the planned scope and spend for the project.

 

The Company capitalized $1,717 and $5,548 of indirect project costs related to redevelopment projects during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, including, among other costs, $368 and $1,136 of internal salaries and related benefits of personnel directly involved in the redevelopment projects and $1,105 and $3,651 of interest, respectively. The Company capitalized $1,338 and $4,001 of indirect project costs related to redevelopment projects during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, including, among other costs, $318 and $1,019 of internal salaries and related benefits of personnel directly involved in the redevelopment projects and $804 and $2,325 of interest, respectively.

 

Variable Interest Entities

 

As of September 30, 2021, the Company had one joint venture related to the development, ownership and operation of the multi-family rental portion of the expansion project at One Loudoun Downtown – Pads G & H, of which joint venture the Company owns 90%.

 

The joint venture is considered a VIE primarily because the Company’s joint venture partner does not have substantive kick-out rights or substantive participating rights. The Company is considered the primary beneficiary as it has a controlling financial interest in the joint venture. As such, the Company has consolidated the joint venture and presented the joint venture partner’s interest as noncontrolling interests.

 

As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company recorded the following related to the One Loudoun Downtown – Pads G & H consolidated joint venture:

 

   One Loudoun Downtown – Pads G & H 
   September 30, 2021   December 31, 2020 
Net investment properties  $99,012   $74,314 
Other assets, net  $824   $354 
Accounts payable and accrued expenses  $249   $ 
Other liabilities  $2,397   $3,890 
Noncontrolling interests  $4,467   $4,507 

 

As of September 30, 2021, the Company has funded $5,254 of the partner’s development costs related to One Loudoun Downtown – Pads G & H through a loan provided by the Company to the joint venture. The loan, secured by the joint venture project, is required to be repaid subsequent to the completion of construction and stabilization of the project and is eliminated upon consolidation. Under terms defined in the joint venture agreement, after construction completion and stabilization of the development project, the Company has the ability to call, and the joint venture partner has the ability to put to the Company, subject to certain conditions, the joint venture partner’s interest in the joint venture at fair value. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, a $40 loss was attributed to the noncontrolling interests. There was no income attributed to the noncontrolling interests during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

(b)On February 8, 2021, 260 RSUs converted into 102 shares of common stock and 197 restricted shares that, disregarding the impact at the Effective Time, will vest on December 31, 2021, subject to continued employment through such date, after applying a conversion rate of 115% based upon the Company’s Total Shareholder Return (TSR) relative to the TSRs of its peer companies for the performance period that concluded on December 31, 2020. An additional 49 shares of common stock were also issued, representing the dividends that would have been paid on the earned awards during the performance period.

 

(c)As of September 30, 2021, total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested RSUs was $6,040, disregarding the impact at the Effective Time, which is expected to be amortized over a weighted average term of 1.9 years. The Merger Agreement and the agreements under which the RSUs were granted and other agreements provide that all RSUs outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be canceled at the Effective Time and the holder of each RSU will be considered to have earned 153% of the performance metrics applicable to such RSU, and will be entitled to receive, for each earned RSU, 0.623 Kite shares, plus cash for any fractional share and the dividend equivalent with respect to the earned RSU.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded compensation expense of $1,988 and $2,280, respectively, related to the amortization of unvested restricted shares and RSUs. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded compensation expense of $6,764 and $6,734, respectively, related to the amortization of unvested restricted shares and RSUs. The Company did not record any accelerated amortization of unvested restricted shares and RSUs related to the Merger as any such acceleration is contingent upon the closing of the Merger.

Amortization of above and below market lease intangibles and lease inducements    470    423    1,734    2,323 
Lease income  $122,523   $107,358   $363,142   $322,856 

 

(a)Base rent primarily consists of fixed lease payments; however, it also includes the net impact of variable lease payments related to lease concessions granted as relief due to COVID-19 in accordance with the Company’s policy elections related to the accounting treatment of such lease concessions. The impact of these lease concessions includes an increase of $796 and $894 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $2,955 and $894 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, in base rent related to the repayment of amounts previously deferred under lease concessions that did not meet deferral accounting treatment; as a result, lease income was reduced for the deferral in previous periods, however recognized as variable lease income upon receipt of payment, partially offset by a decrease of $286 and $6,051 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and more than offset by $3,635 and $6,102 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, in base rent related to executed lease concession agreements that did not meet deferral accounting treatment and for which payment has not been received. Of the aggregate $286 and $3,635 decrease from lease concession agreements, $225 and $1,754 were associated with billed base rent from prior periods for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively.

(b)Base rent and tenant recoveries are presented gross of any uncollected amounts related to cash-basis tenants. Such uncollected amounts are reflected within “Uncollectible lease income, net.”

 

(c)Represents lease income related to variable lease payments.

 

(d)Represents lease income related to fixed lease payments. Straight-line rental income, net includes changes in the reserve for straight-line receivables related to tenants accounted for on the cash basis and changes in the population of tenants accounted for on the cash basis of $3,728 and $(3,089) for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $1,602 and $(5,760) for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

 

(e)Uncollectible lease income, net includes (i) the change in reserve related to receivables associated with tenants accounted for on the cash basis of accounting and changes in the population of tenants accounted for on the cash basis, (ii) the impact of executed lease concessions that did not meet deferral accounting treatment, however, were agreed in previous periods; as a result, the impact of these anticipated concessions was included within the reserve for uncollectible lease income until executed, (iii) the net change in the general reserve for those receivables that are not considered probable of collection, and (iv) the estimated impact for lease concessions that have been agreed in principle with the tenant that are not expected to meet deferral accounting treatment, however, such agreements were not executed as of period end.

 

In response to COVID-19 and its related impact on many of the Company’s tenants, the Company reached agreements with tenants regarding lease concessions. The majority of the amounts addressed by the lease concessions are base rent, although certain concessions also address tenant recoveries and other charges. The majority of these concessions were agreed to and, in the majority of these circumstances, executed during the year ended December 31, 2020. For the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company has agreed in principle and/or executed additional lease concessions to defer, without an extension of the lease term, $0 of previously uncollected base rent charges and to address an additional $219 of previously uncollected base rent charges through abatement, a combination of deferral and abatement or a concession with the extension of the lease term.

 

As of September 30, 2021, $1,993 of executed lease concessions to defer rental payment without an extension of the lease term, net of related reserves, remain outstanding within “Accounts receivable, net” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Further, as of September 30, 2021, the amounts that have been deferred to future periods under executed lease concessions, on a weighted average basis, will be received over a period of approximately three months.

In accordance with the unsecured credit agreement, the credit spread set forth in the leverage grid resets quarterly based on the Company’s leverage, as calculated at the previous quarter end, and the Company has the option to make an irrevocable election to convert to an investment grade pricing grid. As of September 30, 2021, making such an election would have resulted in a lower interest rate; however, the Company has not made the election to convert to an investment grade pricing grid.

The following table summarizes the key terms of the unsecured revolving line of credit:

 

                  Leverage-Based Pricing   Investment Grade Pricing
Sixth Amended and Restated
Unsecured Credit Agreement
 
  Maturity Date   Extension Option   Extension Fee     Credit Spread   Facility Fee   Credit Spread   Facility Fee
$850,000 unsecured revolving line of credit   1/8/2026   2 six-month     0.075%   1.05%–1.50%   0.15%–0.30%   0.725%–1.40%   0.125%–0.30%

 

The sixth amended and restated unsecured credit agreement has a $750,000 accordion option that allows the Company, at its election, to increase the total unsecured revolving line of credit up to $1,600,000, subject to (i) customary fees and conditions including, but not limited to, the absence of an event of default as defined in the unsecured credit agreement and (ii) the Company’s ability to obtain additional lender commitments. The sixth amended and restated unsecured credit agreement also includes a sustainability metric based on targeted greenhouse gas emission reductions, which permits the Company to reduce the applicable grid-based spread by one basis point annually upon attainment.

 

The Company previously had a $1,100,000 unsecured credit facility that consisted of the following: (i) an $850,000 unsecured revolving line of credit that bore interest at a rate of LIBOR plus a credit spread ranging from 1.05% to 1.50% and was scheduled to mature on April 22, 2022 and (ii) a $250,000 unsecured term loan that bore interest at a rate of LIBOR plus a credit spread ranging from 1.20% to 1.70% and was scheduled to mature on January 5, 2021. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company repaid the $250,000 unsecured term loan.

 

Unsecured Term Loans

 

As of September 30, 2021, the Company has the following unsecured term loans: (i) a $200,000 unsecured term loan maturing in 2023 (Term Loan Due 2023), (ii) a $120,000 unsecured term loan maturing in 2024 (Term Loan Due 2024) and (iii) a $150,000 unsecured term loan maturing in 2026 (Term Loan Due 2026), each of which bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus a credit spread based on a leverage grid. On July 19, 2021, the Company amended the pricing terms of the Term Loan Due 2026 and included a sustainability metric based on targeted greenhouse gas emission reductions, which permits the Company to reduce the applicable grid-based spread by one basis point annually upon attainment. In accordance with the respective term loan agreements, the credit spread set forth in the leverage grid resets quarterly based on the Company’s leverage, as calculated at the previous quarter end, and the Company has the option to make an irrevocable election to convert to an investment grade pricing grid. As of September 30, 2021, making such an election would not have changed the interest rates for the Term Loan Due 2023 and Term Loan Due 2026 and would have resulted in a higher interest rate for the Term Loan Due 2024 and, as such, the Company has not made the election to convert to an investment grade pricing grid.

 

The following table summarizes the key terms of the unsecured term loans:

 

Unsecured Term Loans   Maturity Date  

Leverage-Based Pricing

Credit Spread

 

Investment Grade Pricing

Credit Spread

$200,000 unsecured term loan due 2023   11/22/2023   1.20  % 1.85%   0.85  % 1.65%
$120,000 unsecured term loan due 2024   7/17/2024   1.20  % 1.70%   0.80  % 1.65%
$150,000 unsecured term loan due 2026   7/17/2026   1.20  % 1.70%   0.75  % 1.60%

 

The Term Loan Due 2023 has a $100,000 accordion option that allows the Company, at its election, to increase the Term Loan Due 2023 up to $300,000, subject to (i) customary fees and conditions, including the absence of an event of default as defined in the amended term loan agreement and (ii) the Company’s ability to obtain additional lender commitments.

 

The Term Loan Due 2024 has a $130,000 accordion option and the Term Loan Due 2026 has a $100,000 accordion option that, collectively, allow the Company, at its election, to increase the total of the Term Loan Due 2024 and Term Loan Due 2026 up to $500,000, subject to (i) customary fees and conditions, including the absence of an event of default as defined in the term loan agreement and (ii) the Company’s ability to obtain additional lender commitments.

 

Prior to the July 2021 amendment, the Term Loan Due 2026 bore interest at a rate of LIBOR plus a credit spread ranging from 1.50% to 2.20%.

(8) DERIVATIVES

 

The Company’s objective in using interest rate derivatives is to manage its exposure to interest rate movements and add stability to interest expense. To accomplish this objective, the Company uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed rate payments over the life of the agreement without exchange of the underlying notional amount.

 

As of September 30, 2021, the Company has eight interest rate swaps to hedge the variable cash flows associated with variable rate debt. Changes in fair value of the derivatives that are designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges are recorded within “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” and are reclassified into interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable rate debt. Over the next 12 months, the Company estimates that an additional $9,840 will be reclassified as an increase to interest expense.

 

The following table summarizes the Company’s interest rate swaps as of September 30, 2021, which effectively convert one-month floating rate LIBOR to a fixed rate:

 

Number of
Instruments
   Effective Date  Aggregate
Notional
   Fixed
Interest Rate
   Maturity Date
 Two   November 23, 2018  $200,000    2.85%  November 22, 2023
 Three   August 15, 2019  $120,000    1.68%  July 17, 2024
 Three   August 15, 2019  $150,000    1.77%  July 17, 2026

 

The Company previously had three interest rate swaps with notional amounts totaling $250,000 and a maturity date of January 5, 2021 that were terminated during 2020 in conjunction with the repayment of the Company’s $250,000 unsecured term loan due 2021. At termination, these interest rate swaps were in a liability position and had a fair value of $1,699. The associated other comprehensive income was amortized into expense through the original maturity date. As a result, the Company recognized $64 of interest expense, which is included within “Interest expense” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income (loss), in connection with the termination of these swaps during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

 

The following table summarizes the Company’s interest rate swaps that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk:

 

   Number of Instruments   Notional 
Interest Rate Derivatives  September 30, 2021   December 31, 2020   September 30, 2021   December 31, 2020 
Interest rate swaps   8    8   $470,000   $470,000 

 

The table below presents the estimated fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments, which are presented within “Other liabilities” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The valuation techniques used are described in Note 12 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

   Fair Value 
   September 30, 2021   December 31, 2020

(a)Excludes 904 shares of unvested restricted common stock as of September 30, 2021, which equate to 904 and 907 shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, on a weighted average basis. These shares will continue to be excluded from the computation of basic EPS until contingencies are resolved and the shares are released.

 

(b)Excludes 868 shares of unvested restricted common stock as of September 30, 2020, which equate to 868 and 790 shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, on a weighted average basis. These shares were excluded from the computation of basic EPS as the contingencies remained and the shares had not been released as of the end of the reporting period.

 

(c)There were outstanding options to purchase 10 and 16 shares of common stock as of September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, at a weighted average exercise price of $15.12 and $15.87, respectively. Of these totals, outstanding options to purchase 6 and 16 shares of common stock as of September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, at a weighted average exercise price of $17.38 and $15.87, respectively, have been excluded from the common shares used in calculating diluted EPS as including them would be anti-dilutive.

 

(d)As of September 30, 2021, there were 1,166 RSUs eligible for future conversion upon completion of the performance periods (see Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements), which equate to 1,166 and 1,163 RSUs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, on a weighted average basis. These contingently issuable shares are a component of calculating diluted EPS.

 

(e)As of September 30, 2020, there were 974 RSUs eligible for future conversion upon completion of the performance periods, which equate to 974 and 972 RSUs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, on a weighted average basis. These contingently issuable shares have been excluded from the common shares used in calculating diluted EPS as including them would be anti-dilutive.

(11) PROVISION FOR IMPAIRMENT OF INVESTMENT PROPERTIES

 

As of September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company identified indicators of impairment at certain of its properties and took into consideration the most current information available and expectations at the time of the assessment. Such indicators included a low occupancy rate, expected sustained difficulty in leasing space and related cost of re-leasing, significant exposure to financially troubled tenants or reduced anticipated holding periods. The following table summarizes the results of these analyses as of September 30, 2021 and 2020:

 

   September 30, 2021   September 30, 2020   
Number of properties for which indicators of impairment were identified   4    3  (a)
Less: number of properties for which an impairment charge was recorded       1   
Less: number of properties that were held for sale as of the date the analysis was performed   for which indicators of impairment were identified but no impairment charge was recorded           
Remaining properties for which indicators of impairment were identified but   no impairment charge was considered necessary    4    2   
             
Weighted average percentage by which the projected undiscounted cash flows exceeded   its respective carrying value for each of the remaining properties (b)    108%   141%  

 

 

(a)Includes one property that was sold after September 30, 2020.

 

(b)Based upon the estimated holding period for each asset where an undiscounted cash flow analysis was performed.

 

The Company did not record any investment property impairment charges during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

 

The Company recorded the following investment property impairment charges during the nine months ended September 30, 2020:

 

Property Name  Property Type  Impairment Date  Square
Footage
   Provision for
Impairment of
Investment
Properties
 
King Philip’s Crossing (a)  Multi-tenant retail  February 13, 2020   105,900   $346 
Streets of Yorktown (b)  Multi-tenant retail  September 30, 2020   85,200    2,279 
              $2,625 
   Estimated fair value of impaired properties as of impairment date   $14,144 

 

(a)The Company recorded an impairment charge on December 31, 2019 based upon the terms and conditions of an executed sales contract. This property was sold on February 13, 2020, at which time additional impairment was recognized pursuant to the terms and conditions of an executed sales contract.

 

(b)The Company recorded an impairment charge as a result of a combination of factors, including expected impact on future operating results stemming from changes in lease terms related to the tenant population and a change in expected hold period. This property was sold on August 11, 2021.

The extent to which COVID-19 impacts the Company and its tenants will depend, in part, on future developments, which are highly uncertain. If the effects of COVID-19 cause economic and market conditions to deteriorate, which, consequently, result in deterioration of operating conditions, and/or if the Company’s expected holding period for assets change, subsequent tests for impairment could result in impairment charges in the future. Indications of a tenant’s inability to continue as a going concern, changes in the Company’s view or strategy relative to a tenant’s business or industry, or changes in the Company’s long-term hold strategies could change in future periods. The Company will continue to monitor circumstances and events in future periods and can provide no assurance that material impairment charges with respect to its investment properties will not occur in future periods.

 

(12) FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The following table presents the carrying value and estimated fair value of the Company’s financial instruments:

 

   September 30, 2021   December 31, 2020 
   Carrying Value   Fair Value   Carrying Value   Fair Value 
Financial liabilities:                    
Mortgages payable, net  $89,798   $91,321   $91,514   $93,664 
Unsecured notes payable, net  $1,187,566   $1,296,365   $1,186,000   $1,253,928 
Unsecured term loans, net  $467,743   $470,214   $467,559   $464,072 
Unsecured revolving line of credit  $   $   $   $ 
Derivative liability  $20,534   $20,534   $31,666   $31,666 

 

The carrying value of the derivative liability is included within “Other liabilities” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

 

The following table presents the Company’s financial instruments, which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall. Methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of these instruments are described after the table.

 

   Fair Value 
   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Total 
September 30, 2021                
Derivative liability  $   $20,534   $   $20,534 
                     
December 31, 2020                    
Derivative liability  $   $31,666   $   $31,666 

 

Derivatives:  The fair value of the derivative liability is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis on the expected future cash flows of each derivative. This analysis uses observable market data including forward yield curves and implied volatilities to determine the market’s expectation of the future cash flows of the variable component. The fixed and variable components of the derivative are then discounted using calculated discount factors developed based on the LIBOR swap rate and are aggregated to arrive at a single valuation for the period. The Company also incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. Although the Company has 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 use Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. However, as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation. As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered any applicable credit enhancements. The Company’s derivative instruments are further described in Note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company estimates the fair value of its Level 3 financial liabilities using a discounted cash flow model that incorporates future contractual principal and interest payments. The Company estimates the fair value of its mortgages payable, net and Level 3 unsecured notes payable, net by discounting the anticipated future cash flows of each instrument at rates currently offered to the Company by its lenders for similar debt instruments of comparable maturities. The Company estimates the fair value of its unsecured term loans, net and unsecured revolving line of credit by discounting the anticipated future cash flows at a reference rate, currently one-month LIBOR, plus an applicable credit spread currently offered to the Company by its lenders for similar instruments of comparable maturities. The following rates were used in the discounted cash flow model to calculate the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities:

 

   September 30, 2021   December 31, 2020 
Mortgages payable, net – range of discount rates used   3.0% to 4.4%   3.5% to 4.2%
Unsecured notes payable, net – weighted average discount rate used   3.11%   3.84%
Unsecured term loans, net – weighted average credit spread portion of discount rate used   1.20%   1.71%
Unsecured revolving line of credit – credit spread portion of discount rate used   1.10%   1.68%

 

There were no transfers between the levels of the fair value hierarchy during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2020.

See Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information. If the Merger were not to close, under certain circumstances as defined in the Merger Agreement, the Company may have to pay Kite a termination fee of $107,000 and may also be required, under certain circumstances, to reimburse Kite’s transaction expenses up to $15,000, with the actual amount of such termination fee and expense reimbursement payment subject to an escrow and adjustment mechanism for REIT compliance purposes to provide for a lesser amount to be paid to Kite if necessary to prevent Kite from failing to meet its REIT requirements for such year.

 

(14) LITIGATION

 

The Company is subject, from time to time, to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. While the resolution of such matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes, based on currently available information, that the final outcome of such matters will not have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company entered into a settlement agreement related to litigation with a former tenant and received $6,100 in proceeds.

 

As previously disclosed in the definitive joint proxy statement/prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) by Kite on September 14, 2021, in connection with, among other things, the Merger Agreement, beginning on August 27, 2021, two purported Company stockholders filed substantially similar complaints against the Company and the members of the Company’s board of directors in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. One of these complaints also names Kite and Merger Sub as defendants. The complaints are captioned as follows: Wang v. Retail Properties of America, Inc. et al., No. 1:21-cv-07237 (S.D.N.Y. filed August 27, 2021); and Hopkins v. Retail Properties of America, Inc. et al., No. 1:21-cv-07324 (S.D. N.Y. filed August 31, 2021). The complaints variously assert, among other things, claims under Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), and Rule 14a-9 promulgated thereunder against the Company and the members of the Company’s board of directors and claims under Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act against members of the Company’s board of directors (and, in one case, Kite and Merger Sub) for allegedly causing a materially incomplete and misleading registration statement on Form S-4 filed on August 23, 2021 with the SEC. Among other remedies, the plaintiffs seek to enjoin the Merger. Four additional lawsuits were filed against the Company and the members of the Company’s board of directors between September 14, 2021 and October 12, 2021 under the captions Callebs v. Retail Properties of America, Inc. et al., No. 1:21-cv-07593 (S.D.N.Y. filed September 10, 2021); Sheridan v. Retail Properties of America, Inc. et al., No. 1:21-cv-04066-SCJ (N.D.Ga. filed October 1, 2021); Whitfield v. Retail Properties of America, Inc. et al., No. 2:21-cv-04390 (E.D.Pa. filed October 6, 2021); and Reinhardt v. Retail Properties of America, Inc. et al., No. 1:21-cv-04187-SCJ (N.D.Ga. filed October 8, 2021), which are substantially similar to the other two complaints. Also, on September 15, 2021, a purported Kite shareholder filed a complaint against Kite and the members of the Kite board of trustees in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, captioned as follows: Gentry v. Kite Realty Group Trust et al., No. 1:21-cv-05142 (E.D.N.Y. filed September 15, 2021). The complaint asserts substantially similar claims under Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14a-9 as the other complaints against the Company and the Company’s board of directors. It is possible additional lawsuits may be filed against the Company, Kite and/or their respective boards between the date of these financial statements and consummation of the Merger.

The Company believes that the disclosures set forth in the joint proxy statement/prospectus comply fully with all applicable laws and denies the allegations in the pending actions described above and believes they are without merit. Nevertheless, in order to moot plaintiffs’ disclosure claims, avoid nuisance and possible expense and business delays, and provide additional information to its shareholders, the Company has voluntarily supplemented certain disclosures in the joint proxy statement/prospectus with the supplemental disclosures set forth in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 8, 2021. Nothing in those supplemental disclosures shall be deemed an admission of the legal merit of the various litigation matters described above or of the necessity or materiality under applicable laws of any of the disclosures set forth herein. To the contrary, the Company specifically denies all allegations in the various litigation matters that any additional disclosure was or is required or material.

 

(15) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

Subsequent to September 30, 2021, the Company:

 

paid the cash dividend for the third quarter of 2021 of $0.075 per share on its outstanding Class A common stock, which was paid on October 8, 2021 to Class A common shareholders of record at the close of business on October 1, 2021.

 

On October 19, 2021, the Company and Kite each held a special meeting of shareholders at which both shareholder groups approved the respective Merger-related proposals. The closing of the Merger is expected to occur on October 22, 2021, subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions; however, there can be no assurance that (i) all closing conditions will be satisfied or waived by October 22, 2021, (ii) the Merger will close on October 22, 2021 or (iii) the Merger will be consummated. The Company estimates approximately $55,000 to $65,000 of Merger-related costs will be incurred, which are primarily related to compensation and financial, legal, tax and audit advisors. The Merger Agreement and the agreements under which the RSUs were granted and other agreements provide that all RSUs outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be canceled at the Effective Time and the holder of each RSU will be considered to have earned 153% of the performance metrics applicable to such RSU, and will be entitled to receive, for each earned RSU, 0.623 Kite shares, plus cash for any fractional share and the dividend equivalent with respect to the earned RSU. In addition, the Merger Agreement provides that all unvested restricted shares outstanding at the Effective Time will be assumed by Kite and converted into the right to receive 0.623 common shares of Kite (rounded up to the nearest whole share). Certain of these awards will become fully vested at the Effective Time and the remaining outstanding awards will continue to have and be subject to the same terms and conditions prior to the Effective Time. Further, the Merger Agreement provides that at the Effective Time, all outstanding options will be canceled and the holder will receive in cash the excess of (i) the product of the number of shares of Company common stock subject to such options, multiplied by 0.623, multiplied by the Kite share price over (ii) the product of the number of shares of Company common stock subject to such options multiplied by the exercise price.

 

Subsequent events have been evaluated through October 20, 2021, the date financial statements were available.
