Explanatory Note

This Current Report on Form 8-K/A (this “Amendment”) amends the Current Report on Form 8-K, filed by Tanger Factory Outlet Centers, Inc. (the “Company”) and Tanger Properties Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 11, 2015 (the “Original Form 8-K”), as amended by the Current Report on Form 8-K/A, filed by the Company and the Operating Partnership with the SEC on February 29, 2016 (the “First Amendment”).

Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

(a)  As previously announced in the Original Form 8-K, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company dismissed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Company and the Operating Partnership, effective upon completion of PwC’s audit services for the year ended December 31, 2015.  As previously announced in the First Amendment, PwC’s dismissal was effective on February 23, 2016.

At the time of the First Amendment, PwC had not yet provided to the Company and the Operating Partnership a letter from PwC to the SEC responding to the First Amendment.  PwC provided its letter to the Company and the Operating Partnership on March 1, 2016.  The Company and the Operating Partnership are now filing this Amendment to include PwC’s letter to the SEC as Exhibit 16.1.

(b)  Effective March 2, 2016, the Company and the Operating Partnership engaged Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”) to serve as the Company’s and the Operating Partnership’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016.  As previously announced in the Original Form 8-K, Deloitte’s engagement was approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the subsequent interim period through March 2, 2016, neither the Company nor the Operating Partnership nor anyone on their behalf has consulted with Deloitte regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s or the Operating Partnership’s financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company or the Operating Partnership that Deloitte concluded was an important factor considered by the Company or the Operating Partnership in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue, (ii) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K, or (iii) any reportable event within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
