Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Matters

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to various legal proceedings, which, taken together, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company is also subject to a variety of legal actions for personal injury or property damage arising in the ordinary course of its business, most of which are covered by insurance. While the resolution of all matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the final outcome of such legal proceedings and claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s liquidity, financial position or results of operations.

Commitments and Guaranties

In conjunction with the redevelopment of various shopping centers, the Company had entered into commitments with general contractors aggregating approximately $24.4 million for its consolidated properties and $4.2 million for its unconsolidated properties as of December 31, 2022. These obligations, composed principally of construction contracts, are generally due within 12 to 24 months, as the related construction costs are incurred, and are expected to be financed through operating cash flow, assets sales or borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. These contracts typically can be changed or terminated without penalty.

The Company routinely enters into contracts for the maintenance of its properties. These contracts typically can be canceled upon 30 to 60 days' notice without penalty. At December 31, 2022, the Company had purchase order obligations, typically payable within one year, aggregating approximately $4.9 million related to the maintenance of its properties and general and administrative expenses.

At December 31, 2022, the Company had letters of credit outstanding of $12.9 million. The Company has not recorded any obligation associated with these letters of credit, the majority of which serve as collateral to secure the Company's obligation to third-party insurers with respect to limited reinsurance provided by the Company's captive insurance company.
