EXPLANATORY NOTE

This report combines the annual reports on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 of CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. and CBL & Associates Limited Partnership. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to the "Company" mean CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. and its subsidiaries. References to the "Operating Partnership" mean CBL & Associates Limited Partnership and its subsidiaries. The terms "we," "us" and "our" refer to the Company or the Company and the Operating Partnership collectively, as the context requires.

As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 2, 2020 by CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. together with its majority owned subsidiary, CBL & Associates Limited Partnership, together with certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”), commenced the filing of voluntary petitions (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) under Chapter 11 of title 11 (“Chapter 11”) of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the “Bankruptcy Court”) beginning on November 1, 2020. The Debtors have filed a series of motions with the Bankruptcy Court that, as granted, enable the Debtors to maintain their operations in the ordinary course of business.

The Company is a real estate investment trust ("REIT") whose stock was traded on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) prior to the NYSE’s announcement on November 2, 2020, that it had suspended trading in the Company’s stock due to “abnormally low” trading price levels and had determined to commence proceedings to delist the Company’s stock. As discussed further under “Listing Criteria” in Note 2 herein, the Company has appealed this decision in accordance with NYSE rules, and in the meantime the Company’s stock is trading on the OTC Markets, operated by the OTC Markets Group, Inc. The Company is the 100% owner of two qualified REIT subsidiaries, CBL Holdings I, Inc. and CBL Holdings II, Inc. At December 31, 2020, CBL Holdings I, Inc., the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, owned a 1.0% general partner interest in the Operating Partnership and CBL Holdings II, Inc. owned a 96.5% limited partner interest for a combined interest held by the Company of 97.5%.

As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Company's subsidiary, CBL Holdings I, Inc., has exclusive control of the Operating Partnership's activities. Management operates the Company and the Operating Partnership as one business. The management of the Company consists of the same individuals that manage the Operating Partnership. The Company's only material asset is its indirect ownership of partnership interests of the Operating Partnership. As a result, the Company conducts substantially all its business through the Operating Partnership as described in the preceding paragraph. The Company also issues public equity from time to time and guarantees certain debt of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership holds all of the assets and indebtedness of the Company and, through affiliates, retains the ownership interests in the Company's joint ventures. Except for the net proceeds of offerings of equity by the Company, which are contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for partnership units on a one-for-one basis, the Operating Partnership generates all remaining capital required by the Company's business through its operations and its incurrence of indebtedness.

We believe that combining the two annual reports on Form 10-K for the Company and the Operating Partnership provides the following benefits:

• enhances investors' understanding of the Company and the Operating Partnership by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner that management views and operates the business;

• eliminates duplicative disclosure and provides a more streamlined and readable presentation, since a substantial portion of the disclosure applies to both the Company and the Operating Partnership; and

• creates time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.

To help investors understand the differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership, this report provides separate consolidated financial statements for the Company and the Operating Partnership. Noncontrolling interests, shareholders' equity and partners' capital are the main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of the Company and those of the Operating Partnership. A single set of notes to consolidated financial statements is presented that includes separate discussions for the Company and the Operating Partnership, when applicable. A combined Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section is also included that presents combined information and discrete information related to each entity, as applicable.

In order to highlight the differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership, this report includes the following sections that provide separate financial and other information for the Company and the Operating Partnership:

• consolidated financial statements;

• certain accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements, including Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Note 9 - Mortgage and Other Indebtedness, Net, Note 10 - Shareholders' Equity and Partners' Capital and Note 11 - Redeemable Interests and Noncontrolling Interests;

• information concerning unregistered sales of equity securities and use of proceeds in Item 5 of Part II of this report;

• controls and procedures in Item 9A of Part II of this report; and

• certifications of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer included as Exhibits 31.1 through 32.4.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements  

Certain statements included or incorporated by reference in this Annual Report on Form 10-K may be deemed “forward looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. All statements other than statements of historical fact should be considered to be forward-looking statements. In many cases, these forward looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as “will,” “may,” “should,” “could,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “projects,” “goals,” “objectives,” “targets,” “predicts,” “plans,” “seeks,” and variations of these words and similar expressions. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the factors discussed throughout this report. 

Although we believe the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or results and we can give no assurance that these expectations will be attained. It is possible that actual results may differ materially from those indicated by these forward-looking statements due to a variety of known and unknown risks and uncertainties. Currently, a significant factor that could cause actual outcomes to differ materially from our forward-looking statements is the impact of the risks and uncertainties associated with the Chapter 11 process on our operations and ability to develop and execute the Company’s business plans, and to satisfy the conditions and milestones applicable under an amended and restated Restructuring Support Agreement (the “Amended RSA”), for the duration of the Chapter 11 Cases. Another significant factor that could cause actual outcomes to differ materially from our forward-looking statements is the adverse effect of the COVID-19 pandemic, and state and/or local regulatory responses to control it, on our financial condition, operating results and cash flows, our tenants and their customers, the real estate market in which we operate, the global economy and the financial markets. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts us and our tenants will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic, the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, and potential changes in consumer behavior, among others. In addition to the risk factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A of this report, and those factors noted above, such known risks and uncertainties include, without limitation:

• general industry, economic and business conditions;

• the impact of the risks and uncertainties associated with the Chapter 11 process on our operations and ability to develop and execute the Company’s business plans, and to satisfy the conditions and milestones applicable under the Amended RSA, for the duration of the Chapter 11 Cases;

• interest rate fluctuations;

• costs and availability of capital, including debt, and capital requirements;

• suspension of trading or delisting of our common stock and/or depositary shares representing interests in our Series D Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock, from the NYSE;

• costs and availability of real estate;

• inability to consummate acquisition opportunities and other risks associated with acquisitions;

• competition from other companies and retail formats;

• changes in retail demand and rental rates in our markets;

• shifts in customer demands including the impact of online shopping;

• tenant bankruptcies or store closings;

• changes in vacancy rates at our Properties;

• changes in operating expenses;

• changes in applicable laws, rules and regulations;

• disposition of real property;

• uncertainty and economic impact of pandemics, epidemics or other public health emergencies or fear of such events, such as the recent COVID-19 pandemic;

• cyber-attacks or acts of cyber-terrorism;

• the withdrawal that occurred during 2020 of the credit ratings of the Operating Partnership's senior unsecured long-term indebtedness;

1

• the ability to obtain suitable equity and/or debt financing and the continued availability of financing, in the amounts and on the terms necessary to support our future refinancing requirements and business; and

• other risks referenced from time to time in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and those factors listed or incorporated by reference into this report.

This list of risks and uncertainties is only a summary and is not intended to be exhaustive. We disclaim any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect actual results or changes in the factors affecting the forward-looking information.

PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS  

Background

CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. (“CBL”) was organized on July 13, 1993, as a Delaware corporation, to acquire substantially all of the real estate properties owned by CBL & Associates, Inc., which was formed by Charles B. Lebovitz in 1978, and by certain of its related parties. On November 3, 1993, CBL completed an initial public offering (the “Offering”). Simultaneously with the completion of the Offering, CBL & Associates, Inc., its shareholders and affiliates and certain senior officers of the Company (collectively, “CBL’s Predecessor”) transferred substantially all of their interests in its real estate properties to CBL & Associates Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”) in exchange for common units of limited partner interest in the Operating Partnership. The interests in the Operating Partnership contain certain conversion rights that are more fully described in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements. The terms “we,” “us” and “our” refer to the Company or the Company and the Operating Partnership collectively, as the context requires. 

Developments since January 1, 2020

Voluntary Reorganization under Chapter 11

Beginning on November 1, 2020 (the “Commencement Date”), the Debtors commenced the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases. The Debtors are authorized to continue to operate their businesses and manage their properties as debtors-in-possession pursuant to sections 1107(a) and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code. Pursuant to Rule 1015(b) of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure, the Debtors’ Chapter 11 Cases are being jointly administered for procedural purposes only under the caption In re CBL & Associates Properties, Inc., et al., Case No. 20-35226. Documents filed on the docket of and other information related to the Chapter 11 Cases are available free of charge online at https://dm.epiq11.com/case/cblproperties/dockets.

We are currently operating our business as debtors-in-possession in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court. After we filed our Chapter 11 petitions, the Bankruptcy Court granted certain relief requested by the Debtors enabling us to conduct our business activities in the ordinary course, including, among other things and subject to the terms and conditions of such orders, authorizing us to pay employee wages and benefits, to pay taxes and certain governmental fees and charges, to continue to operate our cash management system in the ordinary course, and to pay the prepetition claims of certain of our service providers. For goods and services provided following the Commencement Date, we intend to pay service providers in the ordinary course.

Subject to certain exceptions, under the Bankruptcy Code, the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases automatically enjoined, or stayed, the continuation of most judicial or administrative proceedings or filing of other actions against the Debtors or their property to recover, collect or secure a claim arising prior to the Commencement Date. Accordingly, although the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases triggered defaults under the Debtors’ funded debt obligations, creditors are stayed from taking any actions against the Debtors as a result of such defaults, subject to certain limited exceptions permitted by the Bankruptcy Code. Absent an order of the Bankruptcy Court, substantially all the Debtors’ prepetition liabilities are subject to settlement under the Bankruptcy Code.

The filing of the Chapter 11 Cases constituted an event of default that resulted in certain monetary obligations becoming immediately due and payable with respect to the secured credit facility and the senior unsecured notes. The filing of the Chapter 11 Cases also constituted an event of default with respect to certain property-level debt of the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries, which may have resulted in the automatic acceleration of certain monetary obligations or may give the applicable lender the right to accelerate such amounts. Due to the Chapter 11 Cases, however, the creditors’ ability to exercise remedies against the Debtors under their respective credit agreements and debt instruments was stayed as of the date of the Chapter 11 petition and continues to be stayed.

As further detailed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 22, 2021, after engaging in negotiations in a Bankruptcy Court-ordered mediation, on March 21, 2021 (the “Agreement Effective Date”), the Company entered into the Amended RSA, with certain beneficial owners and/or investment advisors or managers of discretionary funds, accounts or other entities for the holders of beneficial owners (the “Consenting Noteholders”) in excess of 69% (including joinders) of the aggregate principal amount of the Operating Partnership’s 5.25% senior unsecured notes due 2023 (the “2023 Notes”), 4.60% senior unsecured notes due 2024 (the “2024 Notes”) and 5.95% senior unsecured notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes,” and collectively with the 2023 Notes and the 2024 Notes, the “Notes”) and certain lenders party to the Company’s secured credit facility who hold in the aggregate in excess of 96% (including joinders) of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of debt under the secured credit facility (the “Consenting Bank Lenders” and together with the Consenting Noteholders, the “Consenting Stakeholders”). The Amended RSA amends and restates that

3

certain Restructuring Support Agreement, dated as of August 18, 2020 (the “Original RSA”), by and between the Company and the Consenting Noteholders and sets forth, subject to certain conditions, the commitments to and obligations of, on the one hand, the Company, and on the other hand, the Consenting Noteholders and Consenting Bank Lenders, in connection with the restructuring transactions (the “Restructuring Transactions”) set forth in the Amended RSA and the plan term sheet attached as Exhibit B to the Amended RSA (the “Plan Term Sheet”). The Amended RSA contemplates that the restructuring and recapitalization of the Debtors will occur through a joint plan of reorganization in the Chapter 11 Cases (the “Amended Plan”).

The Amended RSA requires that the Company file the Amended Plan and related disclosure statement no later than 25 days after the Agreement Effective Date and under the Amended RSA we must seek to have the Amended Plan confirmed and declared effective no later than November 1, 2021. Before a Bankruptcy Court will confirm the Amended Plan, the Bankruptcy Code requires at least one “impaired” class of claims votes to accept the Amended Plan. A class of claims votes to “accept” the Amended Plan if voting creditors that hold a majority in number and two-thirds in amount of claims in that class approve the Amended Plan. The Amended RSA requires the Consenting Stakeholders vote in favor of and support the Amended Plan. As of the date hereof, the Consenting Bank Lenders and Consenting Noteholders each represent the requisite amount of claims necessary to accept the Amended Plan in each of their respective classes. For the foregoing reasons, among others, the Debtors believe that they will be able to confirm the Amended Plan in the Chapter 11 Cases.

Under the Amended RSA, the proposed Amended Plan will provide for the elimination of more than $1.6 billion of debt and preferred obligations as well as a significant reduction in interest expense. In exchange for their approximately $1.375 billion in principal amount of senior unsecured notes and $133 million in principal amount of the secured credit facility, Consenting Noteholders and other noteholders will receive, in the aggregate, $95 million in cash, $555 million of new senior secured notes, of which up to $100 million, upon election by the Consenting Noteholders, may be received in the form of new convertible secured notes and 89% in common equity of the newly reorganized Company. Certain Consenting Noteholders will also provide up to $50 million of new money in exchange for additional convertible secured notes. The transactions outlined in the Amended RSA will be implemented in the Chapter 11 Cases and pursuant to the Amended Plan. The Amended RSA provides that the remaining Bank Lenders, holding $983.7 million in principal amount under the secured credit facility, will receive $100 million in cash and a new $883.7 million secured term loan. Existing common and preferred stakeholders are expected to receive up to 11% of common equity in the newly reorganized company. The Amended RSA is subject to Bankruptcy Court approval, which the Company will seek in accordance with the terms of the Amended RSA.  

We cannot predict the ultimate outcome of our Chapter 11 Cases at this time. For the duration of the Chapter 11 proceedings, the Company’s operations and ability to develop and execute its business plan are subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with the Chapter 11 process. As a result of these risks and uncertainties, the amount and composition of the Company’s assets, liabilities, officers and/or directors could be significantly different following the outcome of the Chapter 11 proceedings, and the description of the Company’s operations, properties and liquidity and capital resources included in this quarterly report may not accurately reflect its operations, properties and liquidity and capital resources following the Chapter 11 process.

Going Concern

Given the acceleration of the secured credit facility, the Notes and certain property-level debt, as well as the inherent risks, unknown results and inherent uncertainties associated with the bankruptcy process and the direct correlation between these matters and our ability to satisfy our financial obligations that may arise, the Company believes that there is substantial doubt that it will continue to operate as a going concern within one year after the date its consolidated financial statements are issued. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon its ability to successfully implement the Amended Plan set forth in the Amended RSA, which is pending approval of the Bankruptcy Court. Our financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments related to the recoverability of assets and satisfaction of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Delisting of Common Stock and Depositary Shares

On November 2, 2020, the NYSE announced that (i) it had suspended trading in our stock and (ii) it had determined to commence proceedings to delist our common stock, as well as the depositary shares each representing a 1/10th fractional share of our Series D Preferred Stock and the depositary shares each representing a 1/10th fractional share of our Series E Preferred Stock, due to such securities no longer being suitable for listing based on “abnormally low” trading price levels, pursuant to Section 802.01D of the NYSE Listed Company Manual. We have appealed this decision in accordance with NYSE rules, and the appeal is still in process. In the meantime, effective November 3, 2020, our common stock and the

4

depositary shares representing fractional interests in our Series D Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock began trading on the OTC Markets, operated by the OTC Markets Group, Inc., under the symbols “CBLAQ”, “CBLDQ” and “CBLEQ”, respectively. A delisting of our common stock from the NYSE could negatively impact us by, among other things, reducing the trading liquidity of, and the market price for, our common stock.

COVID-19

See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in Item 7 and the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 for information on certain recent developments of the Company, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic

The Company’s Business

We are a self-managed, self-administered, fully integrated REIT. We own, develop, acquire, lease, manage, and operate regional shopping malls, open-air and mixed-use centers, outlet centers, associated centers, community centers, office and other properties. Our Properties are located in 24 states, but are primarily in the southeastern and midwestern United States. We have elected to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.

We conduct substantially all our business through the Operating Partnership, which is a variable interest entity ("VIE"). We are the 100% owner of two qualified REIT subsidiaries, CBL Holdings I, Inc. and CBL Holdings II, Inc. CBL Holdings I, Inc. is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. At December 31, 2020, CBL Holdings I, Inc. owned a 1.0% general partner interest and CBL Holdings II, Inc. owned an 96.5% limited partner interest in the Operating Partnership, for a combined interest held by us of 97.5%.

See Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements for information on our Properties as of December 31, 2020. As of December 31, 2020, we owned a mortgage on one Property, which is collateralized by assignment of 100% of the ownership interests in the underlying real estate and related improvements (the “Mortgage”). The Malls, All Other Properties ("Associated Centers, Community Centers, Office Buildings and Self-storage Facilities"), Properties under development ("Construction Properties") and Mortgage are collectively referred to as the “Properties” and individually as a “Property.”

We conduct our property management and development activities through CBL & Associates Management, Inc. (the “Management Company”) to comply with certain requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Internal Revenue Code"). The Operating Partnership owns 100% of the Management Company’s outstanding preferred stock and common stock.

The Management Company manages all but 14 of the Properties. Governor’s Square and Governor’s Square Plaza in Clarksville, TN, Kentucky Oaks Mall in Paducah, KY, Fremaux Town Center in Slidell, LA, Ambassador Town Center in Lafayette, LA, EastGate Mall - Self-Storage in Cincinnati, OH, Mid Rivers Mall – Self-Storage in St. Peters, MO, Hamilton Place – Self-Storage in Chattanooga, TN, Parkdale Mall – Self-Storage in Beaumont, TX, The Outlet Shoppes at El Paso in El Paso, TX, The Outlet Shoppes at Atlanta in Woodstock, GA and The Outlet Shoppes of the Bluegrass in Simpsonville, KY are all owned by unconsolidated joint ventures and are managed by a property manager that is affiliated with the third-party partner, which receives a fee for its services. The third-party partner of each of these Properties controls the cash flow distributions, although our approval is required for certain major decisions. The Outlet Shoppes at Gettysburg in Gettysburg, PA and The Outlet Shoppes at Laredo in Laredo, TX are owned by consolidated joint ventures and managed by a property manager that is affiliated with the third-party partner, which receives a fee for its services.

Rental revenues are primarily derived from leases with retail tenants and generally include fixed minimum rents, percentage rents based on tenants’ sales volumes and reimbursements from tenants for expenditures related to real estate taxes, insurance, common area maintenance ("CAM") and other recoverable operating expenses, as well as certain capital expenditures. We also generate revenues from management, leasing and development fees, sponsorships, sales of peripheral land at the Properties and from sales of operating real estate assets when it is determined that we can realize an appropriate value for the assets. Proceeds from such sales are generally used to retire related indebtedness, reduce outstanding balances on our indebtedness and for general corporate purposes. 

The following terms used in this Annual Report on Form 10-K will have the meanings described below:

▪ GLA – refers to gross leasable area of space in square feet, including Anchors and Mall tenants.

Operating Strategy

Our primary objective is to maximize the long-term value of our company for all of our stakeholders by reducing debt, lowering our cost of capital and stabilizing and growing net operating income (“NOI”), total earnings before income taxes, depreciation and amortization for real estate ("EBITDAre") and cash flows through a variety of methods as further discussed below.

NOI is a non-GAAP measure. For a description of NOI, a reconciliation from net income (loss) to NOI, and an explanation of why we believe this is a useful performance measure, see Non-GAAP Measure - Same-center Net Operating Income in “Results of Operations.”

Property Transformation Strategy

Since the formation of the predecessor company in 1978, we have built our portfolio with a strategy of owning dominant properties in dynamic and growing middle markets. Our properties play a vital role in the communities in which we are located. They serve as a center of commerce and large employment base. We are a valuable community member, partnering with local and regional organizations in civic engagements. Our properties also generate significant property and sales taxes that support programs in our communities. While the shifts in retail and, more recently, the impact of COVID-19, have had an effect on our business, we believe that our strong locations and continued implementation of our redevelopment and portfolio transformation strategy, as outlined below, will allow CBL to first stabilize and ultimately return to growth.

Our strategy of owning dominant properties in thriving markets has served the company well as CBL’s dominant locations generate significant demand from retail and non-retail users alike. This broad demand allows CBL to shift and evolve our portfolio as consumer preferences change. More recently, the rise of e-commerce and other changes have resulted in major shifts in the retail industry. Retailers, including many traditional department stores have culled their store base either proactively or through bankruptcy, closing brick-and-mortar retail stores. Several large anchor retailers, such as Sears and Bon-Ton, have liquidated the majority or all of their stores. While there is near term income loss and vacancy that results from the closures, we also utilize the closures as an opportunity to transform our traditional enclosed malls into a portfolio of dominant suburban town centers that offer a diversity of tenants and uses to enhance the experience and shopping conveniences for visitors. We began this strategy with our first major anchor redevelopment in 2013 and have grown the program in more recent years. While this strategy will take time to effect, we have already been successful in delivering an increasing number of non-retail uses to our properties such as hotels, residential facilities, medical facilities, offices and in 2020 we opened our first casino. While these uses and redevelopments can oftentimes demand significant capital, we have utilized several strategies such as land sales, ground leases, and joint ventures to mitigate the capital infusion while, at the same time, allowing us to effect transformational redevelopments. 

In order to support the transformation of our assets into suburban town centers, our leasing and redevelopment efforts are focused on matching the targeted tenancy to the unique demands and demographics of the local market. We aggressively lease our properties in order to maximize cash flows, improve occupancy and facilitate an optimal merchandising mix that attracts today’s consumer, all with the end goal of enhancing the value of our assets. As leases mature, we seek to renew leases at higher gross rents as compared to the previous lease where possible. For underperforming tenants, rather than allow the lease to terminate, we may elect to renew leases at the same or lower gross rents generally for a shorter lease term of three years or less to limit downtime and revenue loss. This strategy allows us to maintain occupancy and revenue while providing our leasing team the time to identify a potential replacement. Additionally, this strategy provides the tenant with the opportunity to improve operations and sales, and eventually renew at a higher gross rent at the end of their lease term. Our new leasing efforts are focused on a broadening array of non-retail as well as

7

successful retail uses including local, regional and national tenants. We have extensive existing relationships and continually canvas our markets as well as online sources for potential new relationships.  

Redevelopments represent situations where we capitalize on opportunities to increase the productivity of previously occupied space through aesthetic upgrades, re-tenanting and/or changing the use of the space. We may use all or only a portion of the prior-tenant square footage. Many times, redevelopments result from acquiring or regaining possession of Anchor space (such as former Sears and Bon-Ton stores) and re-leasing to a single user, subdividing it into multiple spaces or razing the building for new development. When evaluating a redevelopment project, we review the stand-alone cost and returns, co-tenancy, as well as the impact that the project and new tenant(s) is expected to have on the rest of the property including the aesthetic impact and improvements to traffic and sales.

See Liquidity and Capital Resources section for information on the projects completed during 2020 and under construction at December 31, 2020.

Specialty Leasing, Branding and Sponsorship

We pursue opportunities to generate ancillary revenues and activate our properties when space is available for shorter terms through temporary leases and license agreements, as well as sponsorships and branding and promotional activities. These programs allow us to maximize revenues in our centers during downtime between permanent leases, as well as monetize other aspects of the property.  

Management and Operations

We actively manage our properties including a focus on controlling operating costs while maintaining a high-quality customer experience. Where possible, we utilize national or regional contracts with vendors and service providers to generate cost and service efficiencies.

Active Portfolio Management and Asset Recycling

We actively manage our asset base with the goal of enhancing the overall quality and value of our portfolio. We regularly review our portfolio to identify assets that no longer fit our strategy or where we believe it appropriate to redeploy resources into higher growth opportunities. We also selectively acquire properties we believe can appreciate in value by increasing NOI through our redevelopment, leasing and management expertise. However, our primary focus at this time is on opportunities to acquire anchors at our Properties and utilize vacant land for future redevelopment and development uses.

Balance Sheet Strategy

Our balance sheet strategy is focused on reducing overall debt, extending our debt maturity schedule and lowering our overall cost of borrowings in order to limit maturity risk, improve net cash flow and enhance enterprise value. Beginning on November 1, 2020, the Debtors filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas, in Houston, TX in order to implement a plan to recapitalize the Company, including restructuring portions of its debt.

We also pursue opportunities to improve the terms of our secured property-level, mortgage loans including seeking lower interest rates and longer terms. We are exploring refinancing opportunities in the open lending market, as appropriate, in addition to working with our current lenders toward favorable modifications of existing loans.

Green Building Practices/ESG

We are committed to reducing waste through the use of environmentally friendly materials, domestic products, and the implementation of green building practices in our new development projects, redevelopments and renovations. We have completed more than 60 energy efficiency projects across our portfolio that have resulted in more than 40 million kWh saved annually. We have active cardboard or plastic recycling programs at 30 centers across our portfolio and have building management systems at nearly every property. These programs are ongoing as we strive to find ways to enhance our commitment to being environmentally conscious. More information on our sustainability, social responsibility and community involvement initiatives is available on dedicated web pages at cblproperties.com/about. The information on our web site is not, and should not be considered, a part of this Form 10-K.

Environmental Matters

A discussion of the current effects and potential impacts on our business and Properties of compliance with federal, state and local environmental regulations is presented in Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K under the subheading “Risks Related to Real Estate Investments and Our Business.”

Competition

The Properties compete with various shopping facilities in attracting retailers to lease space. In addition, retailers at our Properties face competition from discount shopping centers, outlet centers, wholesale clubs, direct mail, television shopping networks, the internet and other retail shopping developments. The extent of the retail and non-retail competition varies from market to market. We work aggressively to attract customers through marketing promotions and social media campaigns. Many of our retailers have adopted an omni-channel approach which leverages sales through both digital and traditional retailing channels.

Seasonality

The shopping center business is, to some extent, seasonal in nature with tenants typically achieving the highest levels of sales during the fourth quarter due to the holiday season, which generally results in higher percentage rent income in the fourth quarter. Additionally, the Malls earn most of their “temporary” rents (rents from short-term tenants) during the holiday period. Thus, occupancy levels and revenue production are generally the highest in the fourth quarter of each year. Results of operations realized in any one quarter may not be indicative of the results likely to be experienced over the course of our fiscal year.

Equity

Common Stock and Common Units

Our authorized common stock consists of 350,000,000 shares at $0.01 par value per share. We had 196,569,917 and 174,115,111 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Operating Partnership had 201,687,773 and 200,189,077 common units outstanding as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Preferred Stock

Our authorized preferred stock consists of 15,000,000 shares at $0.01 par value per share. See Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements for a description of our outstanding cumulative redeemable preferred stock.

Financial Information about Segments

See Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements for information about our reportable segments.

Human Capital

The driving force behind our business is our employees. We are committed to attracting, developing and retaining diverse individuals that further our inclusive culture. We promote collaboration and have employee led programs such as CBL Cares, which is designed to ensure engagement with and contributions to the communities we serve, including paid community service time. CBL Fit focuses on the whole person at work and serves as a strong advocate of perpetuating previous certification as a great place to work. CBL Social enables interconnectivity within the organization. In 2021, we are launching CBL Community as another employee-led program focusing on our collective commitment to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion in all forms.

We utilize a variety of means to ensure employee engagement remains high. In addition to providing competitive compensation and a comprehensive benefits program, CBL employees enjoy a wide range of learning and development opportunities: conferences, leadership programs including CBL U, our companywide sales force education conference, leadership and managerial content, introductory and refresher training in diversity, equity, and inclusion and cyber-security, and on-demand content including physical, mental/social, financial well-being as well as internal technology and tools for self-guided learning. As part of the benefits program, employees may further their formal education by way of a tuition reimbursement program.

CBL does not have any employees other than its statutory officers. Our Management Company had 418 full-time and 56 part-time employees as of December 31, 2020, of which 60% were female. Generationally, the population is nearly evenly represented across the Gen X, Gen Y and Baby Boomer array with an emerging presence of Gen Z and a meaningful

9

contribution by Traditionalists. A testament to the strength of our culture: more than 60% of the team has been with CBL for five or more years. We enjoy direct relationships as none of our employees are represented by a union.

Corporate Offices

Our principal executive offices are located at CBL Center, 2030 Hamilton Place Boulevard, Suite 500, Chattanooga, Tennessee, 37421 and our telephone number is (423) 855-0001.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS  

Set forth below are certain factors that may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Any one or more of the following factors may cause our actual results for various financial reporting periods to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us, or on our behalf. See “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” contained herein on page 1. In addition, these risks could be heightened as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

RISK FACTOR SUMMARY

The following is a summary of the most significant risks relating to our business activities that we have identified. If any of these risks occur, our business, financial condition or results of operation, including our ability to generate cash and make distributions, could be materially adversely affected. For a more complete understanding of our material risk factors, this summary should be read in conjunction with the detailed description of our risk factors which follows this summary.

Risks Related to Our Voluntary Bankruptcy Filing

• The Amended RSA is subject to significant conditions and milestones that may be beyond our control and may be difficult for us to satisfy. If the Amended RSA is terminated, our ability to confirm and consummate the Amended Plan could be materially and adversely affected.

• We are subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with chapter 11 proceedings and may not be able to obtain confirmation of the Amended Plan as outlined in the Amended RSA.

• Upon emergence from bankruptcy, the composition of our Board of Directors may change significantly, and our historical financial information may not be indicative of our future financial performance.

• Trading in our securities during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases is highly speculative and poses substantial risks. It is possible that our equity securities will be cancelled pursuant to the Amended Plan and holders of any such equity securities will receive only such distributions as set forth in the Amended Plan, which may result in such holders being unable to recover their investments.

• Negotiating the Amended RSA, and the chapter 11 proceedings, has and will continue to consume a substantial portion of our management’s time and attention, which may adversely affect us and may increase employee attrition.

• If the Amended RSA is terminated our ability to confirm and consummate the Amended Plan could be materially and adversely affected.

• We depend on the continued presence of key personnel for critical management decisions.

• Transfers or issuances of equity before, or in connection with, our chapter 11 proceedings may impair our ability to utilize the existing tax basis in our assets, our federal income tax net operating loss carryforwards and other tax attributes.

• We have determined that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Risks Related to Real Estate Investments and Our Business

• The current pandemic of the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, has, and could continue to, materially and adversely impact or disrupt our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and performance, as could any future outbreak of another highly infectious or contagious disease.

• Real property investments are subject to various risks, many of which are beyond our control, which could cause declines in the revenues and/or underlying value of one or more of our Properties. These include, among others:

➢ Adverse changes to national, regional and local economic conditions, including increased volatility in the capital and credit markets, as well as changes in consumer confidence and consumer spending patterns.

➢ Possible inability to lease space in our properties on favorable terms, or at all.

10

➢ Potential loss of one or more significant tenants, due to bankruptcies or consolidations in the retail industry.

➢ Local real estate market conditions, and the illiquidity of real estate investments.

➢ Adverse changes that cause us not to proceed with certain developments, redevelopments or expansions.

➢ Increased operating costs, such as repairs and maintenance, real property taxes, utility rates and insurance.

➢ Adverse changes in governmental regulations and related costs, including potential significant costs related to compliance with environmental laws.

➢ Competition from other retail facilities, and from alternatives to traditional retail such as online shopping.

• Certain of our Properties are subject to ownership interests held by third parties, whose interests may conflict with ours.

• Bankruptcy of joint venture partners could impose delays and costs on us with respect to jointly owned retail Properties.

• We identified a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting, which we may not remediate on a timely basis, and we may identify additional material weaknesses, which may result in material misstatements of our financial statements or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations.

• Possible terrorist activity or other acts of violence could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. We also face possible risks associated with climate change.

• Increased expenses, decreased occupancy rates, tenants converting to gross leases and requesting deferrals and rent abatements may not allow us to recover the majority of our CAM, real estate taxes and other operating expenses.

• Our Properties may be subject to impairment charges, which could impact our compliance with certain debt covenants and could otherwise adversely affect our financial results.

• While cybersecurity attacks, to date, have not materially impacted our financial results, future cyber-attacks, cyber intrusions or other disruptions of our information technology networks could disrupt our operations, compromise confidential information and adversely impact our financial condition.

• Pending litigation could distract our officers from attending to the Company’s business and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation.

• Certain agreements with prior owners of Properties that we have acquired may inhibit our ability to enter into future sale or refinancing transactions affecting such Properties.

• Uninsured losses could adversely affect us, and in the future our insurance may not cover acts of terrorism.

Risks Related to Debt and Financial Markets

• A deterioration of the capital and credit markets could adversely affect our ability to access funds and the capital needed to refinance debt or obtain new debt.

• Our indebtedness is substantial and could impair our ability to obtain additional financing.

• Rising interest rates could both increase our borrowing costs, thereby adversely affecting our cash flows and the amounts available for distributions to our stockholders, and decrease our stock price, if investors seek higher yields through other investments.

• We may be adversely affected by changes in LIBOR reporting practices or the method in which LIBOR is determined.

• The agreements governing our debt, including our senior credit facility and the indentures governing our Notes, contain various covenants that impose restrictions on us that may affect our ability to operate our business.

• Federal and state statutes allow courts, under specific circumstances, to void guarantees and require holders of indebtedness and lenders to return payments received from guarantors.

Risks Related to Dividends and Our Stock

• A delisting of our stock from the NYSE could have materially adverse effects on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

• Our post-bankruptcy capital structure is yet to be determined, and any changes to our capital structure may have a material adverse effect on existing debt and security holders.

• We have suspended paying dividends on our common stock and preferred stock and distributions on our units and we cannot assure you of our ability to pay dividends or distributions in the future or the amount of any dividends or distributions.

• As a result of the cumulative, unpaid dividends on our preferred stock we are no longer eligible to register the offer and sale of securities on SEC Form S-3.

• Our ability to pay dividends on our common and preferred stock depends on the distributions we receive from our Operating Partnership, through which we conduct substantially all of our business.

Risks Related to Geographic Concentrations

• Our Properties are located principally in the southeastern and midwestern United States, so our business is subject generally to economic conditions in these regions and, in particular, to adverse economic developments affecting the operating results of Properties in our five largest markets.  

11

Risks Related to Federal Income Tax Laws

• We conduct a portion of our business through taxable REIT subsidiaries, which are subject to certain tax risks.

• Complying with REIT requirements might cause us to forego otherwise attractive opportunities, and failing to qualify as a REIT would reduce our funds available for distribution to stockholders.

• Transfers of our capital stock to any person in excess of the ownership limits necessary to maintain our status as a REIT would be deemed void ab initio, and those shares would automatically be transferred to a non-affiliated charitable trust.

• We must satisfy minimum distribution requirements to maintain our status as a REIT, which may limit the amount of cash available for use in growing our business.

• Holders of common units and special common units in the Operating Partnership may have income tax liability attributable to their ownership of such units in excess of cash distributions.

Risks Related to Our Organizational Structure

• The ownership limit described above, as well as certain provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, and certain provisions of Delaware law, may hinder any attempt to acquire us.

• Certain ownership interests held by members of our senior management may tend to create conflicts of interest between such individuals and the interests of the Company and our Operating Partnership.  

RISKS RELATED TO OUR VOLUNTARY BANKRUPTCY FILING

Beginning on November 1, 2020, the Debtors filed voluntary petitions under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas, in Houston, TX in order to implement a chapter 11 plan to recapitalize the Company, including restructuring portions of its debt.

The Amended RSA is subject to significant conditions and milestones that may be beyond our control and may be difficult for us to satisfy. If the Amended RSA is terminated, our ability to confirm and consummate the Amended Plan could be materially and adversely affected.

The Amended RSA sets forth certain conditions we must satisfy, including the timely satisfaction of milestones in the Chapter 11 Cases, such as confirmation of the Amended Plan and effectiveness of the Amended Plan. Our ability to timely complete such milestones is subject to risks and uncertainties that may be beyond our control. The Amended RSA gives the Consenting Noteholders and Consenting Bank Lenders the ability to terminate the Amended RSA under certain circumstances, including the failure of certain conditions to be satisfied. Should a termination event occur, all obligations of the parties to the Amended RSA may terminate. A termination of the Amended RSA may result in the loss of support for the Amended Plan, which could adversely affect our ability to confirm and consummate the Amended Plan. If the Amended Plan is not consummated, there can be no assurance that any new plan would be as favorable to holders of claims as the current Plan and our chapter 11 proceedings could become protracted, which could significantly and detrimentally impact our relationships with vendors, suppliers, employees, and tenants.

We will be subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with chapter 11 proceedings.

As a consequence of our filing for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, our operations and our ability to develop and execute our business plan, and our continuation as a going concern, will be subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with bankruptcy. These risks include the following:

• our ability to prosecute, confirm and consummate the Amended Plan or another plan of reorganization with respect to the chapter 11 proceedings;

• the high costs of bankruptcy proceedings and related fees;

• if required, our ability to obtain sufficient financing to allow us to emerge from bankruptcy and execute our business plan post-emergence;

• our ability to maintain our relationships with our suppliers, service providers, tenants, employees and other third parties;

• our ability to maintain contracts that are critical to our operations;

• our ability to execute our business plan in the current depressed commodity price environment;

• the ability to attract, motivate and retain key employees;

• the ability of third parties to seek and obtain court approval to terminate contracts and other agreements with us;

• the ability of third parties to seek and obtain court approval to convert the chapter 11 proceedings to chapter 7 proceedings; and

12

• the actions and decisions of our creditors and other third parties who have interests in our chapter 11 proceedings that may be inconsistent with our plans.

These risks and uncertainties could affect our business and operations in various ways. For example, negative events associated with our chapter 11 proceedings could adversely affect our relationships with our suppliers, service providers, tenants, employees, and other third parties, which in turn could adversely affect our operations and financial condition. Also, we need the prior approval of the Bankruptcy Court for transactions outside the ordinary course of business, which may limit our ability to respond timely to certain events or take advantage of certain opportunities. Because of the risks and uncertainties associated with our chapter 11 proceedings, we cannot accurately predict or quantify the ultimate impact of events that occur during our chapter 11 proceedings that may be inconsistent with our plans.

We may not be able to obtain confirmation of the Amended Plan as outlined in the Amended RSA.

There can be no assurance that the Amended Plan as outlined in the Amended RSA (or any other plan of reorganization) will be approved by the Bankruptcy Court, so we urge caution with respect to existing and future investments in our securities.

The success of any reorganization will depend on approval by the Bankruptcy Court and the willingness of existing debt and security holders to agree to the exchange or modification of their interests as outlined in the Amended Plan, and there can be no guarantee of success with respect to the Amended Plan or any other plan of reorganization. We might receive official objections to confirmation of the Amended Plan from the various stakeholders in the chapter 11 proceedings. We cannot predict the impact that any objection might have on the Amended Plan or on a Bankruptcy Court's decision to confirm the Amended Plan. Any objection may cause us to devote significant resources in response which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If the Amended Plan is not confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court, it is unclear whether we would be able to reorganize our business and what, if any, distributions holders of claims against us, including holders of our secured and unsecured debt and equity, would ultimately receive with respect to their claims. There can be no assurance as to whether we will successfully reorganize and emerge from chapter 11 or, if we do successfully reorganize, as to when we would emerge from chapter 11. If no plan of reorganization can be confirmed, or if the Bankruptcy Court otherwise finds that it would be in the best interest of holders of claims and interests, the chapter 11 cases may be converted to cases under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, pursuant to which a trustee would be appointed or elected to liquidate our assets for distribution in accordance with the priorities established by the Bankruptcy Code.

Upon emergence from bankruptcy, our historical financial information may not be indicative of our future financial performance.

Our capital structure will be significantly altered under the Amended Plan. Under fresh-start reporting rules that may apply to us upon the effective date of the Amended Plan (or any alternative plan of reorganization), our assets and liabilities would be adjusted to fair values and our accumulated deficit would be restated to zero. Accordingly, if fresh-start reporting rules apply, our financial condition and results of operations following our emergence from chapter 11 would not be comparable to the financial condition and results of operations reflected in our historical financial statements. Further, a plan of reorganization could materially change the amounts and classifications reported in our consolidated historical financial statements, which do not give effect to any adjustments to the carrying value of assets or amounts of liabilities that might be necessary as a consequence of confirmation of a plan of reorganization.

The pursuit of the Amended RSA has consumed, and the chapter 11 proceedings will continue to consume, a substantial portion of the time and attention of our management, which may have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations, and we may face increased levels of employee attrition.

Although the Amended Plan is designed to minimize the length of our chapter 11 proceedings, it is impossible to predict with certainty the amount of time that we may spend in bankruptcy or to assure parties in interest that the Amended Plan will be confirmed. The chapter 11 proceedings will involve additional expense and our management will be required to spend a significant amount of time and effort focusing on the proceedings. This diversion of attention may materially adversely affect the conduct of our business, and, as a result, on our financial condition and results of operations, particularly if the chapter 11 proceedings are protracted.

During the pendency of the chapter 11 proceedings, our employees will face considerable distraction and uncertainty and we may experience increased levels of employee attrition. A loss of key personnel or material erosion of

13

employee morale could have a material adverse effect on our ability to effectively, efficiently and safely conduct our business, and could impair our ability to execute our strategy and implement operational initiatives, thereby having a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

If the Amended RSA is terminated, our ability to confirm and consummate the Amended Plan could be materially and adversely affected.

The Amended RSA contains a number of termination events, upon the occurrence of which certain parties to the Amended RSA may terminate the agreement. If the Amended RSA is terminated as to all parties thereto, each of the parties will be released from its obligations in accordance with the terms of the Amended RSA. Such termination may result in the loss of support for the Amended Plan by the parties to the Amended RSA, which could adversely affect our ability to confirm and consummate the Amended Plan. If the Amended Plan is not consummated, there can be no assurance that any new Plan would be as favorable to holders of claims against the Company and its subsidiaries as contemplated by the Amended RSA.

We depend on the continued presence of key personnel for critical management decisions.

Retaining and understanding historical knowledge from our key personnel is critical to allowing the management team to more effectively progress our business plan. As part of the restructuring we anticipate our existing senior management team to remain in place, however there is a risk of loss of key personnel. Anytime personnel are replaced, there is a risk that there may be a loss of service, albeit temporary, that could result in an adverse effect on the business.

Upon our emergence from bankruptcy, the composition of our Board of Directors may change significantly.

Under the Amended Plan, the composition of our Board of Directors may change significantly. Any new directors are likely to have different backgrounds, experiences and perspectives from those individuals who previously served on the Board and, thus, may have different views on the issues that will determine our future. As a result, our future strategy and plans may differ materially from those of the past.

Trading in our securities during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases is highly speculative and poses substantial risks. It is possible that our equity securities will be cancelled pursuant to the Amended Plan and holders of any such equity securities will receive only such distributions as set forth in the Amended Plan, which may result in such holders being unable to recover their investments.

A significant amount of our indebtedness is senior to the common stock and preferred stock in our capital structure. It is possible that these equity interests may be cancelled and extinguished upon the approval of the Bankruptcy Court and the holders thereof would not be entitled to receive, and would not receive or retain, any property or interest in property on account of such equity interests. In the event of a cancellation of these equity interests, amounts invested by such holders in our outstanding equity securities will not be recoverable. Under the Amended RSA, if holders of our common stock vote to accept the Amended Plan, as a class, each holder will receive its pro rata share of 5.5% of the new common equity interests (subject to dilution). Likewise, if holders of our preferred stock vote to accept the Amended Plan, as a class, each holder will receive its pro rata share of 5.5% of the new common equity interests (subject to dilution). If, however, holders of our preferred stock vote to reject the Amended Plan, as a class, each holder will receive nothing on account of its preferred stock interest. Further, if our plan of reorganization is not approved, our currently outstanding common stock and preferred stock may have no value. Trading prices for our equity securities are very volatile and may bear little or no relationship to the actual recovery, if any, by the holders of such securities in the Chapter 11 Cases. Accordingly, we urge that extreme caution be exercised with respect to existing and future investments in our equity securities and any of our other securities.

Transfers of our equity, or issuances of equity before or in connection with our chapter 11 proceedings, may impair our ability to utilize the existing tax basis in our assets, our federal income tax net operating loss carryforwards and other tax attributes during the current year and in future years.

Under federal income tax law, a corporation is generally permitted to offset net taxable income in a given year with net operating losses carried forward from prior years, and its existing adjusted tax basis in its assets may be used to offset future gains or to generate annual cost recovery deductions. We have significant “net unrealized built-in loss” (NUBIL) (i.e., adjusted tax basis in excess of the fair market value of our assets) and net operating loss carryforwards that are not subject to any section 382 limitations.

14

Our ability to utilize future tax deductions, net operating loss carryforwards and other tax attributes to offset future taxable income is subject to certain requirements and restrictions. In order to qualify for taxation as a “real estate investment trust,” we must meet various requirements including a requirement to distribute 90% of our taxable income; and, to avoid paying corporate income tax, we must distribute 100% of our taxable income. If we do experience an "ownership change," as defined in section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, during or in connection with the restructuring process, then our ability to use future tax deductions, net operating loss carryforwards and other tax attributes to offset future taxable income may be substantially limited, which could have a negative impact on our financial position and results of operations. Generally, there is an "ownership change" if one or more stockholders owning 5% or more of a corporation's common stock have aggregate increases in their ownership of such stock of more than 50 percentage points over a prescribed testing period. Under section 382 and section 383 of the Internal Revenue Code, absent an applicable exception, if a corporation undergoes an "ownership change", certain future tax deductions, net operating loss carryforwards and other tax attributes that may be utilized to offset future taxable income generally are subject to an annual limitation (though “recognized built-in losses” arising from our NUBIL will only be subject to limitation if they are recognized within 5 years of the “ownership change”).

Whether or not future tax deductions, net operating loss carryforwards and other tax attributes are subject to limitation under section 382, net operating loss carryforwards and other tax attributes are expected to be further reduced by the amount of discharge of indebtedness arising in our Chapter 11 Cases under section 108 of the Internal Revenue Code.

We have received an order from the Bankruptcy Court approving potential restrictions on certain transfers of our stock to limit the risk of an "ownership change" prior to our emergence from restructuring in our chapter 11 proceedings. We anticipate that the implementation of our plan of reorganization will result in an "ownership change." If so, certain future tax deductions, net operating loss carryforwards and other tax attributes will become impaired, with the extent of such impairment dependent on the impact of special tax law rules under section 382(l)(6) of the Internal Revenue Code, applicable to an "ownership change" that occurs as part of a chapter 11 plan.

We have determined that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

In accordance with the accounting guidance related to the presentation of financial statements, when preparing financial statements for each annual and interim reporting period, management evaluates whether there are conditions or events that, when considered in the aggregate, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. In making its assessment, management considered the Company’s current financial condition and liquidity sources, as well as the status of the Chapter 11 Cases.

As described in Item 1 under Voluntary Reorganization under Chapter 11, the Debtors commenced the Chapter 11 Cases under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The filing of the Chapter 11 Cases constituted an event of default that resulted in certain monetary obligations becoming immediately due and payable with respect to the secured credit facility and the senior unsecured notes. The filing of the Chapter 11 Cases also constituted an event of default with respect to certain property-level debt of the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries, which may have resulted in automatic acceleration of certain monetary obligations or may give the applicable lender the right to accelerate such amounts.

Given the acceleration of the senior secured credit facility, the senior unsecured notes and certain property-level debt, as well as the inherent risks, unknown results and inherent uncertainties associated with the bankruptcy process and the direct correlation between these matters and our ability to satisfy our financial obligations that may arise, the Company believes that there is substantial doubt that it will continue to operate as a going concern within one year after the date these consolidated financial statements are issued. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon its ability to successfully implement the Amended Plan set forth in the Amended RSA, which is pending approval of the Bankruptcy Court. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments related to the recoverability of assets and satisfaction of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

RISKS RELATED TO REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS AND OUR BUSINESS

The current pandemic of the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19 has, and could continue to, materially and adversely impact or disrupt our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and performance, as could any future outbreak of another highly infectious or contagious disease.

Since being reported in December 2019, COVID-19 spread globally, including to every state in the United States. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic, and on March 13, 2020, the United States declared a national emergency with respect to COVID-19.

15

The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and may continue to have, repercussions across regional and global economies and financial markets. The outbreak of COVID-19 in many countries, including the United States, has significantly adversely impacted global economic activity and has contributed to significant volatility and negative pressure in financial markets. The global impact of the outbreak has been rapidly evolving and, as cases of COVID-19 have continued to be identified in additional countries, many - including the United States - have reacted by instituting quarantines, mandating business and school closures and restricting travel.

Certain states and cities, including where we own properties and where our corporate headquarters is located, reacted by instituting quarantines, restrictions on travel, “shelter-in-place” rules, restrictions on types of business that may continue to operate, and/or restrictions on the types of construction projects that may continue. The Company cannot predict if additional states and cities will implement similar restrictions or when any such new restrictions might be lifted. As a result, the COVID-19 pandemic is negatively impacting almost every industry directly or indirectly, including the retail industry in which the Company and our tenants operate.

A majority of our tenants implemented temporary closures and/or shortened the operating hours of their stores for a period of time and requested rent deferral or rent abatement during this pandemic or have failed to pay rent. In addition, state, local or industry-initiated efforts, such as tenant rent freezes, or governmental or court-imposed delays in the processing of landlord initiated commercial eviction and collection actions in various jurisdictions in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, may also affect our ability to collect rent or enforce remedies for the failure to pay rent. We believe our tenants do not have a contractual right to cease paying rent due to government-mandated closures and, subject to negotiated resolutions of rent deferral requests that we have entered into, and may continue to enter into with certain tenants, we intend to enforce our rights under our lease agreements. However, COVID-19 and the related governmental orders present fairly novel situations for which the ultimate legal outcome cannot be assured, and it is possible future governmental action could impact our rights under the lease agreements. The extent of tenant requests and actions, and the resulting impact to the Company’s results of operations and cash flows, is uncertain and cannot be predicted.

The COVID-19 pandemic, or a future pandemic, could also have further material and adverse effects on our ability to successfully operate and on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows due to, among other factors:

• complete or partial closures of, or other operational issues at, one or more of our properties beyond those that have already occurred resulting from government or tenant action;

• the reduced economic activity severely impacts our tenants' businesses, financial condition and liquidity and may cause one or more of our tenants to be unable to meet their obligations to us in full, or at all, or to otherwise seek modifications of such obligations;

• the reduced economic activity, as well as any lasting reduction in consumer activity at brick-and-mortar commercial establishments due to changed habits in response to the prolonged existence and threat of the COVID-19 pandemic, could result in a prolonged recession and could negatively impact consumer discretionary spending;

• difficulty accessing debt and equity capital on attractive terms, or at all, and a severe disruption and instability in the global financial markets or deteriorations in credit and financing conditions may affect our access to capital necessary to fund business operations or address maturing liabilities on a timely basis and our tenants' ability to fund their business operations and meet their obligations to us;

• permitting, inspections and reviews by jurisdictional planning commissions and authorities is also likely to be delayed or postponed which could materially impact the timeline and budgets for completing redevelopments;

• projects in our redevelopment pipeline may not be pursued or may be completed later or with higher costs than anticipated, potentially causing a loss that exceeds our investment in the project;

• the financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic could negatively impact our future compliance with financial covenants of our credit facility, indentures and other recourse and non-recourse debt agreements and result in a default and potentially an acceleration of indebtedness, which non-compliance could negatively impact our ability to make additional borrowings under our revolving credit facility and pay dividends;

• any additional impairments in value of our tangible assets and intangible lease assets that could be recorded as a result of weaker economic conditions;  

• a deterioration in our or our tenants' ability to operate in affected areas or delays in the supply of products or services to us or our tenants from vendors that are needed for our or our tenants' efficient operations could adversely affect our operations and those of our tenants;

• the ability to renew leases or re-lease vacant spaces on favorable terms, or at all; and

• the potential negative impact on the health of our personnel, particularly if a significant number of them are impacted, could result in a deterioration in our ability to ensure business continuity during this disruption.

16

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our operations and those of our tenants will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic, the actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, among others. Additional closures by our tenants of their stores and early terminations by our tenants of their leases could further reduce our cash flows, which could impact our ability to resume paying dividends to our stockholders at any point in the future. The rapid development and fluidity of this situation precludes any prediction as to the full adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic presents material uncertainty and risk with respect to our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and performance.

Real property investments are subject to various risks, many of which are beyond our control, which could cause declines in the operating revenues and/or the underlying value of one or more of our Properties.

A number of factors may decrease the income generated by a retail shopping center property, including: 

• national, regional and local economic climates, which may be negatively impacted by loss of jobs, production slowdowns, adverse weather conditions, natural disasters, acts of violence, war, riots or terrorism, declines in residential real estate activity and other factors which tend to reduce consumer spending on retail goods;

• pandemic outbreaks, including COVID-19, or the threat of pandemic outbreaks, which could cause customers of our tenants to avoid public places where large crowds are in attendance, such as shopping centers and related entertainment, hotel, office or restaurant properties operated by our tenants;

• adverse changes in levels of consumer spending, consumer confidence and seasonal spending (especially during the holiday season when many retailers generate a disproportionate amount of their annual profits);

• local real estate conditions, such as an oversupply of, or reduction in demand for, retail space or retail goods, and the availability and creditworthiness of current and prospective tenants;

• increased operating costs, such as increases in repairs and maintenance, real property taxes, utility rates and insurance premiums;

• delays or cost increases associated with the opening of new properties or redevelopment and expansion of properties, due to higher than estimated construction costs, cost overruns, delays in receiving zoning, occupancy or other governmental approvals, lack of availability of materials and labor, weather conditions, and similar factors which may be outside our ability to control;

• perceptions by retailers or shoppers of the safety, convenience and attractiveness of the shopping center; and

• the convenience and quality of competing retail properties and other retailing options, such as the internet and the adverse impact of online sales.

In addition, other factors may adversely affect the value of our Properties without affecting their current revenues, including:

• adverse changes in governmental regulations, such as local zoning and land use laws, environmental regulations or local tax structures that could inhibit our ability to proceed with development, expansion or renovation activities that otherwise would be beneficial to our Properties;

• potential environmental or other legal liabilities that reduce the amount of funds available to us for investment in our Properties;

• any inability to obtain sufficient financing (including construction financing, permanent debt, secured and unsecured notes issuances, lines of credit and term loans), or the inability to obtain such financing on commercially favorable terms, to fund repayment of maturing loans, new developments, acquisitions, and property redevelopments, expansions and renovations which otherwise would benefit our Properties; and

• an environment of rising interest rates, which could negatively impact both the value of commercial real estate such as retail shopping centers and the overall retail climate.

Illiquidity of real estate investments could significantly affect our ability to respond to adverse changes in the performance of our Properties and harm our financial condition.

Substantially all our consolidated assets consist of investments in real properties. Because real estate investments are relatively illiquid, our ability to quickly sell one or more Properties in our portfolio in response to changing economic, financial and investment conditions is limited. The real estate market is affected by many factors, such as general economic

17

conditions, availability of financing, interest rates and other factors, including supply and demand for space, that are beyond our control. We cannot predict whether we will be able to sell any Property for the price or on the terms we set, or whether any price or other terms offered by a prospective purchaser would be acceptable to us. We also cannot predict the length of time needed to find a willing purchaser and to close the sale of a Property. In addition, current economic and capital market conditions might make it more difficult for us to sell Properties or might adversely affect the price we receive for Properties that we do sell, as prospective buyers might experience increased costs of debt financing or other difficulties in obtaining debt financing.

Moreover, there are some limitations under federal income tax laws applicable to REITs that limit our ability to sell assets. In addition, because many of our Properties are mortgaged to secure our debts, we may not be able to obtain a release of a lien on a mortgaged Property without the payment of the associated debt and/or a substantial prepayment penalty, or transfer of debt to a buyer, which restricts our ability to dispose of a Property, even though the sale might otherwise be desirable. Furthermore, the number of prospective buyers interested in purchasing shopping centers is limited. Therefore, if we want to sell one or more of our Properties, we may not be able to dispose of it in the desired time period and may receive less consideration than we originally invested in the Property.

Before a Property can be sold, we may be required to make expenditures to correct defects or to make improvements. We cannot assure you that we will have funds available to correct those defects or to make those improvements, and if we cannot do so, we might not be able to sell the Property, or might be required to sell the Property on unfavorable terms. In acquiring a property, we might agree to provisions that materially restrict us from selling that property for a period of time or impose other restrictions, such as limitations on the amount of debt that can be placed or repaid on that property. These factors and any others that would impede our ability to respond to adverse changes in the performance of our Properties could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

We may elect not to proceed with certain developments, redevelopments or expansion projects once they have been undertaken, resulting in charges that could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations for the period in which the charge is taken.

We intend to pursue developments, redevelopments and expansion activities as opportunities arise. In connection with any developments, redevelopments or expansion, we will incur various risks, including the risk that developments, redevelopments or expansion opportunities explored by us may be abandoned for various reasons including, but not limited to, credit disruptions that require the Company to conserve its cash until the capital markets stabilize or alternative credit or funding arrangements can be made. Developments, redevelopments or expansions also include the risk that construction costs of a project may exceed original estimates, possibly making the project unprofitable. Other risks include the risk that we may not be able to refinance construction loans which are generally with full recourse to us, the risk that occupancy rates and rents at a completed project will not meet projections and will be insufficient to make the project profitable, and the risk that we will not be able to obtain Anchor, mortgage lender and property partner approvals for certain expansion activities.

When we elect not to proceed with a development opportunity, the development costs ordinarily are charged against income for the then-current period. Any such charge could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations for the period in which the charge is taken.

Certain of our Properties are subject to ownership interests held by third parties, whose interests may conflict with ours and thereby constrain us from taking actions concerning these Properties which otherwise would be in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders.

We own partial interests in 13 malls, 7 associated centers, 6 community centers, 2 office buildings, a hotel development, a residential development and 4 self-storage facilities. We have interests in 5 malls, 1 associated center, 2 community centers, a hotel development, a residential development and four self-storage facilities that are all owned by unconsolidated joint ventures and are managed by a property manager that is affiliated with the third-party partner, which receives a fee for its services. The third-party partner of each of these Properties controls the cash flow distributions, although our approval is required for certain major decisions. We have interests in two malls that are owned by consolidated joint ventures and managed by a property manager that is affiliated with the third-party partner, which receives a fee for its services.

Where we serve as managing general partner (or equivalent) of the entities that own our Properties, we may have certain fiduciary responsibilities to the other owners of those entities. In certain cases, the approval or consent of the other owners is required before we may sell, finance, expand or make other significant changes in the operations of such Properties. To the extent such approvals or consents are required, we may experience difficulty in, or may be prevented from, implementing our plans with respect to expansion, development, financing or other similar transactions with respect to such Properties.

18

With respect to those Properties for which we do not serve as managing general partner (or equivalent), we do not have day-to-day operational control or control over certain major decisions, including leasing and the timing and amount of distributions, which could result in decisions by the managing entity that do not fully reflect our interests. This includes decisions relating to the requirements that we must satisfy in order to maintain our status as a REIT for tax purposes. However, decisions relating to sales, expansion and disposition of all or substantially all of the assets and financings are subject to approval by the Operating Partnership.

Bankruptcy of joint venture partners could impose delays and costs on us with respect to the jointly owned retail Properties.

In addition to the possible effects on our joint ventures of our bankruptcy filing, the bankruptcy of one of the other investors in any of our jointly owned shopping centers could materially and adversely affect the relevant Property or Properties. Under the bankruptcy laws, we would be precluded from taking some actions affecting the estate of the other investor without prior approval of the bankruptcy court, which would, in most cases, entail prior notice to other parties and a hearing in the bankruptcy court. At a minimum, the requirement to obtain court approval may delay the actions we would or might want to take. If the relevant joint venture through which we have invested in a Property has incurred recourse obligations, the discharge in bankruptcy of one of the other investors might result in our ultimate liability for a greater portion of those obligations than we would otherwise bear. 

We may be unable to lease space in our properties on favorable terms, or at all.

Our results of operations depend on our ability to continue to lease space in our properties, including vacant space and re-leasing space in properties where leases are expiring, optimizing our tenant mix, or leasing properties on economically favorable terms. Because we have leases expiring annually, we are continually focused on leasing our properties. Similarly, we are pursuing a strategy of replacing expiring short-term leases with long-term leases. For more information on lease expirations see Mall Lease Expirations and Other Property Type Lease Expirations.

There can be no assurance that our leases will be renewed or that vacant space will be re-let at rates equal to or above the current average net effective rental rates or that substantial rent abatements, tenant improvements, early termination rights or below market renewal options will not be offered to attract new tenants or retain existing tenants. If the rental rates decrease, if our existing tenants do not renew their leases or if we do not re-let a significant portion of our available space and space for which leases will expire, our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

We identified a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting. We may not remediate this material weakness on a timely basis or may identify additional material weaknesses in the future or otherwise fail to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, which may result in material misstatements of our financial statements or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations. As a result, stockholders could lose confidence in our financial and other public reporting, which would then be likely to negatively affect our business and the market price of our securities.

A material weakness in internal control over financial reporting has been identified. A material weakness is defined as a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. See Part I, Item 4 above for further details. We are planning to remediate the material weakness by hiring additional personnel to enable the Company and the Operating Partnership to meet their financial reporting requirements, and we may utilize outside advisors to assist on a short-term basis. These remediation measures may be time consuming and costly, and might place significant demands on our financial, accounting and operational resources. In addition, there is no assurance that we will be successful in hiring the necessary personnel in a timely manner, or at all.

Effective internal control over financial reporting is necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and is important in helping to prevent mistakes in our financial statements and financial fraud. Any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in our implementation to successfully remediate our existing or any future material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, or identification of any additional material weaknesses that may exist, may adversely affect the accuracy and timing of our financial reporting, we may be unable to maintain compliance with securities law requirements regarding timely filing of periodic reports in addition to applicable stock exchange listing requirements, we may be unable to prevent fraud, investors may lose confidence in our financial reporting, and the price of our securities may decline as a result.

Any testing conducted by us, or any testing conducted by our independent registered public accounting firm, may reveal additional deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting that are deemed to be new material weaknesses or that may require prospective or retroactive changes to our financial statements or identify other areas for further attention

19

or improvement. In addition, our reporting obligations as a public company could place a significant strain on our management, operational and financial resources and systems for the foreseeable future and may cause us to fail to timely achieve and maintain the adequacy of its internal control over financial reporting.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. There is no assurance that the measures we are currently undertaking or may take in the future will be sufficient to maintain effective internal controls or to avoid potential future deficiencies in internal control, including material weaknesses.

We may incur significant costs related to compliance with environmental laws, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows and the funds available to us to pay dividends.

Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, a current or previous owner or operator of real estate may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of petroleum, certain hazardous or toxic substances on, under or in such real estate. Such laws typically impose such liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of such substances. The costs of remediation or removal of such substances may be substantial. The presence of such substances, or the failure to promptly remove or remediate such substances, may adversely affect the owner's or operator's ability to lease or sell such real estate or to borrow using such real estate as collateral. Persons who arrange for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances may also be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of such substances at the disposal or treatment facility, regardless of whether such facility is owned or operated by such person. Certain laws also impose requirements on conditions and activities that may affect the environment or the impact of the environment on human health. Failure to comply with such requirements could result in the imposition of monetary penalties (in addition to the costs to achieve compliance) and potential liabilities to third parties. Among other things, certain laws require abatement or removal of friable and certain non-friable asbestos-containing materials in the event of demolition or certain renovations or remodeling. Certain laws regarding asbestos-containing materials require building owners and lessees, among other things, to notify and train certain employees working in areas known or presumed to contain asbestos-containing materials. Certain laws also impose liability for release of asbestos-containing materials into the air and third parties may seek recovery from owners or operators of real properties for personal injury or property damage associated with asbestos-containing materials. In connection with the ownership and operation of properties, we may be potentially liable for all or a portion of such costs or claims.

All of our Properties (but not properties for which we hold an option to purchase but do not yet own) have been subject to Phase I environmental assessments or updates of existing Phase I environmental assessments. Such assessments generally consisted of a visual inspection of the Properties, review of federal and state environmental databases and certain information regarding historic uses of the Property and adjacent areas and the preparation and issuance of written reports. Some of the Properties contain, or contained, underground storage tanks used for storing petroleum products or wastes typically associated with automobile service or other operations conducted at the Properties. Certain Properties contain, or contained, dry-cleaning establishments utilizing solvents. Where believed to be warranted, samplings of building materials or subsurface investigations were undertaken. At certain Properties, where warranted by the conditions, we have developed and implemented an operations and maintenance program that establishes operating procedures with respect to asbestos-containing materials. The cost associated with the development and implementation of such programs was not material. We have also obtained environmental insurance coverage at certain of our Properties.

We believe that our Properties are in compliance in all material respects with all federal, state and local ordinances and regulations regarding the handling, discharge and emission of hazardous or toxic substances. As of December 31, 2020, we have recorded in our consolidated financial statements a liability of $2.8 million related to potential future asbestos abatement activities at our Properties which are not expected to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. We have not been notified by any governmental authority, and are not otherwise aware, of any material noncompliance, liability or claim relating to hazardous or toxic substances in connection with any of our present or former Properties. Therefore, we have not recorded any liability related to hazardous or toxic substances. Nevertheless, it is possible that the environmental assessments available to us do not reveal all potential environmental liabilities. It is also possible that subsequent investigations will identify material contamination, that adverse environmental conditions have arisen subsequent to the performance of the environmental assessments, or that there are material environmental liabilities of which management is unaware. Moreover, no assurances can be given that (i) future laws, ordinances or regulations will

20

not impose any material environmental liability or (ii) the current environmental condition of the Properties has not been or will not be affected by tenants and occupants of the Properties, by the condition of properties in the vicinity of the Properties or by third parties unrelated to us, the Operating Partnership or the relevant Property's partnership.

Possible terrorist activity or other acts of violence could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Future terrorist attacks in the United States, and other acts of violence, including domestic or international terrorism or war, might result in declining consumer confidence and spending, which could harm the demand for goods and services offered by our tenants and the values of our Properties, and might adversely affect an investment in our securities. A decrease in retail demand could make it difficult for us to renew or re-lease our Properties at lease rates equal to or above historical rates and, to the extent our tenants are affected, could adversely affect their ability to continue to meet obligations under their existing leases. Terrorist activities also could directly affect the value of our Properties through damage, destruction or loss. Furthermore, terrorist acts might result in increased volatility in national and international financial markets, which could limit our access to capital or increase our cost of obtaining capital.

We face possible risks associated with climate change.

We cannot determine with certainty whether global warming or cooling is occurring and, if so, at what rate. To the extent climate change causes changes in weather patterns, our properties in certain markets and regions could experience increases in storm intensity and rising sea levels. Over time, these conditions could result in volatile or decreased demand for retail space at certain of our Properties or, in extreme cases, our inability to operate the Properties at all. Climate change may also have indirect effects on our business by increasing the cost of (or making unavailable) insurance on favorable terms and increasing the cost of energy and snow removal at our Properties. Moreover, compliance with new laws or regulations related to climate change, including compliance with "green" building codes, may require us to make improvements to our existing Properties or increase taxes and fees assessed on us or our Properties. At this time, there can be no assurance that climate change will not have a material adverse effect on us.

The loss of one or more significant tenants, due to bankruptcies or as a result of consolidations in the retail industry, could adversely affect both the operating revenues and value of our Properties.

We could be adversely affected by the bankruptcy, early termination, sales performance, or closing of tenants and Anchors. Certain of our lease agreements include co-tenancy and/or sales-based kick-out provisions which allow a tenant to pay a reduced rent amount and, in certain instances, terminate the lease, if we fail to maintain certain occupancy levels or retain specified named Anchors, or if the tenant does not achieve certain specified sales targets. If occupancy or tenant sales do not meet or fall below certain thresholds, rents we are entitled to receive from our retail tenants could be reduced. The bankruptcy of a tenant could result in the termination of its lease, which would lower the amount of cash generated by that Property. Replacing tenants with better performing, emerging retailers may take longer than our historical experience of re-tenanting due to their lack of infrastructure and limited experience in opening stores as well as the significant competition for such emerging brands. In addition, if a department store operating as an Anchor at one of our Properties were to cease operating, we may experience difficulty and delay and incur significant expense in replacing the Anchor, re-tenanting, or otherwise re-merchandising the use of the Anchor space. This difficulty could be exacerbated if the Anchor space is owned by a third party and we are not able to acquire the space, if the third party’s plans to lease or redevelop the space do not align with our interests or the third party does not act in a timely manner to lease or redevelop the space. In addition, the Anchor’s closing may lead to reduced customer traffic and lower mall tenant sales. As a result, we may also experience difficulty or delay in leasing spaces in areas adjacent to the vacant Anchor space. The early termination or closing of tenants or Anchors for reasons other than bankruptcy could have a similar impact on the operations of our Properties, although in the case of early terminations we may benefit in the short-term from lease termination income.

Most recently, certain traditional department stores have experienced challenges including limited opportunities for new investment/openings, declining sales, and store closures. Department stores' market share is declining, and their ability to drive traffic has substantially decreased. Despite our Malls traditionally being driven by department store Anchors, in the event of a need for replacement, it has become necessary to consider non-department store Anchors. Certain of these non-department store Anchors may demand higher allowances than a standard mall tenant due to the nature of the services/products they provide.

Clauses in leases with certain tenants in our properties frequently may include inducements, such as reduced rent and tenant allowance payments, which can reduce our rents and Funds From Operations (“FFO”), and adversely impact our financial condition and results of operation.

The leases for a number of the tenants in our properties have co-tenancy clauses that allow those tenants to pay reduced rent until occupancy at the respective property regains certain thresholds and/or certain named co-tenants open stores at the respective property. Additionally, some tenants may have rent abatement clauses that delay rent commencement for a prolonged period of time after initial occupancy. The effect of these clauses reduces our rents and FFO while they are applicable. We expect to continue to offer co-tenancy and rent abatement clauses in the future to attract tenants to our properties. As a result, our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely impacted.

Additionally, the prevalence and volume of such leases is likely to increase at an unpredictable rate in light of the recent proliferation of bankruptcy filings and closures by retailers occupying “big box”, anchor or other traditionally large spaces which can have an adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

We are in a competitive business.

There are numerous shopping facilities that compete with our Properties in attracting retailers to lease space. Our ability to attract tenants to our Properties and lease space is important to our success, and difficulties in doing so can materially impact our Properties' performance. The existence of competing shopping centers could have a material adverse impact on our ability to develop or operate Properties, lease space to desirable Anchors and tenants, and on the level of rents that can be achieved. In addition, retailers at our Properties face continued competition from shopping through various means and channels, including via the internet, lifestyle centers, value and outlet centers, wholesale and discount shopping clubs, and television shopping networks. Competition of this type could adversely affect our revenues and cash available for distribution to shareholders.

As new technologies emerge, the relationship among customers, retailers, and shopping centers are evolving on a rapid basis and we may not be able to adapt to such new technologies and relationships on a timely basis. Our relative size may limit the capital and resources we are willing to allocate to invest in strategic technology to enhance the mall experience, which may make our Malls relatively less desirable to anchors, mall tenants, and consumers. Additionally, a small but increasing number of tenants utilize our Malls as showrooms or as part of an omni-channel strategy (allowing customers to shop seamlessly through various sales channels). As a result, customers may make purchases through other sales channels during or immediately after visiting our Malls, with such sales not being captured currently in our tenant sales figures or monetized in our minimum or overage rents.

We compete with other major real estate investors with significant capital for attractive investment opportunities. These competitors include other REITs, investment banking firms, and private and institutional investors, some of whom have greater financial resources or have different investment criteria than we do. In particular, there is competition to acquire, develop, or redevelop highly productive retail properties. This could become even more severe as competitors gain size and economies of scale as a result of merger and consolidation activity. This competition may impair our ability to acquire, develop, or redevelop suitable properties, and to attract key retailers, on favorable terms in the future.

Increased operating expenses, decreased occupancy rates, tenants converting to gross leases and requesting deferrals and rent abatements may not allow us to recover the majority of our CAM, real estate taxes and other operating expenses from our tenants, which could adversely affect our financial position, results of operations and funds available for future distributions.

Energy costs, repairs, maintenance and capital improvements to common areas of our Properties, janitorial services, administrative, property and liability insurance costs and security costs are typically allocable to our Properties' tenants. Our lease agreements typically provide that the tenant is liable for a portion of the CAM and other operating expenses. While historically our lease agreements provided for variable CAM provisions, the majority of our current leases require an equal periodic tenant reimbursement amount for our cost recoveries which serves to fix our tenants' CAM contributions to us. In these cases, a tenant will pay a fixed amount, or a set expense reimbursement amount, subject to annual increases, regardless of the actual amount of operating expenses. The tenant's payment remains the same regardless of whether operating expenses increase or decrease, causing us to be responsible for any excess amounts or to benefit from any declines. As a result, the CAM and tenant reimbursements that we receive may or may not allow us to recover a substantial portion of these operating costs.

There is also a trend of more tenants moving to gross leases, which provide that the tenant pays a single specified amount, with no additional payments for reimbursements of the tenant's portion of operating expenses. As a result, we are responsible for any increases in operating expenses, and benefit from any decreases in operating expenses.

Additionally, in the event that our Properties are not fully occupied, we would be required to pay the portion of any operating, redevelopment or renovation expenses allocable to the vacant space(s) that would otherwise typically be paid by the residing tenant(s).

22

Our Properties may be subject to impairment charges, which could impact our compliance with certain debt covenants and could otherwise adversely affect our financial results.

We monitor events or changes in circumstances that could indicate the carrying value of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable. When indicators of potential impairment are present that suggest that the carrying amounts of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable, we assess the recoverability of the asset by determining whether the asset’s carrying value will be recovered through the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected from our probability weighted use of the asset and its eventual disposition. In the event that such undiscounted future cash flows do not exceed the carrying value, we adjust the carrying value of the long-lived asset to its estimated fair value and recognize an impairment loss. The estimated fair value is calculated based on the following information, in order of preference, depending upon availability: (Level 1) recently quoted market prices, (Level 2) market prices for comparable properties, or (Level 3) the present value of future cash flows, including estimated salvage value. Certain of our long-lived assets may be carried at more than an amount that could be realized in a current disposition transaction. Projections of expected future operating cash flows require that we estimate future market rental income amounts subsequent to expiration of current lease agreements, property operating expenses, the number of months it takes to re-lease the Property, and the number of years the Property is held for investment, among other factors. As these assumptions are subject to economic and market uncertainties, they are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter the assumptions used or management’s estimates of future possible outcomes. Therefore, the future cash flows estimated in our impairment analyses may not be achieved. During 2020, we recorded a loss on impairment of real estate totaling $213.4 million, which primarily related to six malls. See Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements for further details.

Breaches or other adverse cybersecurity incidents on our systems or those of our service providers or business partners could expose us to liability and lead to the loss or compromise of our information, including confidential information, sensitive information and intellectual property, and could result in a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

As a regular part of our business operations, we rely on IT systems and network infrastructure, including the Internet, to process, transmit and store electronic information and to manage or support a variety of our business processes, including financial transactions and maintenance of records. We rely on our own systems and also outsource some of our business requirements through service providers and other business partners pursuant to agreements. The risk of a security breach or disruption, particularly through cyber-attack or cyber intrusion, including by internal actors, computer hackers, foreign governments and cyber terrorists, has generally increased as the number, intensity and sophistication of attempted attacks and intrusions from around the world have increased. Our IT networks and related systems and infrastructure – and those of our providers/partners – are essential to the operation of our business and our ability to perform day-to-day operations (including managing our building systems) and, in some cases, may be critical to the operations of certain of our tenants.

We have experienced adverse security incidents. All incidents experienced to date have been minor in scope and impact, were resolved quickly, had no material impact on the Company’s reputation, financial performance, customer or vendor relationships, and posed no material risk of potential litigation or regulatory investigations or actions. We expect unauthorized parties to continue to attempt to gain access to our systems or information, and/or those of our business partners and service providers. Cyber-attacks targeting our infrastructure could result in a full or partial disruption of our operations, as well as those of our tenants.

A security incident, breach or other significant disruption involving our IT networks and related systems could occur due to a virus or other harmful circumstance, intentional penetration or disruption of our information technology resources by a third party, natural disaster, hardware or software corruption or failure or error or poor product or vendor/developer selection (including a failure of security controls incorporated into or applied to such hardware or software), telecommunications system failure, service provider error or failure, intentional or unintentional personnel actions (including the failure to follow our security protocols), or lost connectivity to our networked resources. Such occurrences could disrupt the proper functioning of our networks and systems; result in disruption of business operations and loss of service to our tenants and customers; result in significantly decreased revenues; result in increased costs associated in obtaining and maintaining cybersecurity investigations and testing, as well as implementing protective measures and systems; result in increased insurance premiums and operating costs; result in misstated financial reports and/or missed reporting deadlines; result in our inability to properly monitor our compliance with the rules and regulations regarding our qualification as a REIT; result in the unauthorized access to, and destruction, loss, theft, misappropriation or release of proprietary, confidential, sensitive or otherwise valuable information of ours or others, which others could use to compete against us or for disruptive, destructive or otherwise harmful purposes and outcomes; result in our inability to maintain the building systems relied upon by our tenants for the efficient use of their leased space; require significant management attention and resources to remedy any damages that result; subject us to claims for breach of contract, damages, credits, penalties or termination of leases or other agreements; subject us to regulatory investigations and actions; cause harm to our competitive position and business

23

value; and damage our reputation among our tenants and investors generally. Moreover, cyber-attacks perpetrated against our Anchors and tenants, including unauthorized access to customers’ credit card data and other confidential information, could subject us to significant litigation, liability and costs, adversely impact our reputation, or diminish consumer confidence and consumer spending and negatively impact our business.

The compromise of our or our business partners’ or service providers’ technology systems resulting in the loss, disclosure, misappropriation of, or access to, our information or that of our tenants, employees or business partners or failure to comply with ever-evolving regulatory obligations or contractual obligations with respect to such information could result in legal claims or proceedings, liability or regulatory penalties under laws protecting the privacy of personal information, disruption to our operations and damage to our reputation, any or all of which could adversely affect our business. The costs to remediate breaches and similar system compromises that do occur could be material. In addition, as cybercriminals become more sophisticated, the cost of proactive defensive measures continues to increase.

Although we and our service providers/business partners have implemented processes, procedures and controls to help mitigate these risks, there can be no assurance that these measures, as well as our increased awareness of the risk of cyber incidents, will be effective or that attempted or actual security incidents, breaches or system disruptions that could be damaging to us or others will not occur. Even the most well protected information, networks, systems and facilities remain potentially vulnerable because the techniques used in such attempted security breaches evolve and generally are not recognized until launched against a target, and in some cases are designed not to be detected and, in fact, may not be detected. Accordingly, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate security barriers or other preventative measures, and thus it is impossible for us to entirely mitigate this risk.

Pending litigation could distract our officers from attending to the Company’s business and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation.

The Company and certain of its officers and directors have been named as defendants in a consolidated putative securities class action lawsuit (“Securities Class Action Litigation”) and certain of its former and current directors have been named as defendants in eight shareholder derivative lawsuits (“Derivative Litigation”).

The complaint filed in the Securities Class Action Litigation alleges violations of the securities laws, including, among other things, that the defendants made certain materially false and misleading statements and omissions regarding the Company’s contingent liabilities, business, operations, and prospects. The plaintiffs seek compensatory damages and attorneys’ fees and costs, among other relief, but have not specified the amount of damages sought. The complaints filed in the Derivative Litigation allege, among other things, breaches of fiduciary duties, unjust enrichment, waste of corporate assets, and violations of the federal securities laws. The factual allegations upon which these claims are based are similar to the factual allegations made in the Securities Class Action Litigation described above. The complaints filed in the Derivative Litigation seek, among other things, unspecified damages and restitution for the Company from the individual defendants, the payment of costs and attorneys’ fees, and that the Company be directed to reform certain governance and internal procedures. See Item 3. Legal Proceedings for more information on both the Securities Class Action Litigation and Derivative Litigation.

We cannot assure you as to the outcome of these legal proceedings, including the amount of costs or other liabilities that will be incurred in connection with defending these claims or other claims that may arise in the future. To the extent that we incur material costs in connection with defending or pursuing these claims, or become subject to liability as a result of an adverse judgment or settlement of these claims, our results of operations and liquidity position could be materially and adversely affected. In addition, ongoing litigation may divert management’s attention and resources from the day-to-day operation of our business and cause reputational harm to us, either of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Certain agreements with prior owners of Properties that we have acquired may inhibit our ability to enter into future sale or refinancing transactions affecting such Properties, which otherwise would be in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders.

Certain Properties that we originally acquired from third parties had unrealized gain attributable to the difference between the fair market value of such Properties and the third parties' adjusted tax basis in the Properties immediately prior to their contribution of such Properties to the Operating Partnership pursuant to our acquisition. For this reason, a taxable sale by us of any of such Properties, or a significant reduction in the debt encumbering such Properties, could result in adverse tax consequences to the third parties who contributed these Properties in exchange for interests in the Operating Partnership. Under the terms of these transactions, we have generally agreed that we either will not sell or refinance such an acquired Property for a number of years in any transaction that would trigger adverse tax consequences for the parties from whom we acquired such Property, or else we will reimburse such parties for all or a portion of the additional taxes they are required to pay as a result of the transaction. Accordingly, these agreements may cause us not to engage in future sale or

24

refinancing transactions affecting such Properties, which otherwise would be in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders, or may increase the costs to us of engaging in such transactions.

Declines in economic conditions, including increased volatility in the capital and credit markets, could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

An economic recession can result in extreme volatility and disruption of our capital and credit markets. The resulting economic environment may be affected by dramatic declines in the stock and housing markets, increases in foreclosures, unemployment and costs of living, as well as limited access to credit. This economic situation can, and most often will, impact consumer spending levels, which can result in decreased revenues for our tenants and related decreases in the values of our Properties. A sustained economic downward trend could impact our tenants' ability to meet their lease obligations due to poor operating results, lack of liquidity, bankruptcy or other reasons. Our ability to lease space and negotiate rents at advantageous rates could also be affected in this type of economic environment. Additionally, access to capital and credit markets could be disrupted over an extended period, which may make it difficult to obtain the financing we may need for future growth and/or to meet our debt service obligations as they mature. Any of these events could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Uninsured losses could adversely affect our financial condition, and in the future our insurance may not include coverage for acts of terrorism.

We carry a comprehensive blanket policy for general liability, property casualty (including fire, earthquake and flood) and rental loss covering all of the Properties, with specifications and insured limits customarily carried for similar properties. However, even insured losses could result in a serious disruption to our business and delay our receipt of revenue. Furthermore, there are some types of losses, including lease and other contract claims, as well as some types of environmental losses, that generally are not insured or are not economically insurable. If an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insured limits occurs, we could lose all or a portion of the capital we have invested in a Property, as well as the anticipated future revenues from the Property. If this happens, we, or the applicable Property's partnership, may still remain obligated under guarantees provided to the lender for any mortgage debt or other financial obligations related to the Property.

The general liability and property casualty insurance policies on our Properties currently include coverage for losses resulting from acts of terrorism, as defined by TRIPRA. While we believe that the Properties are adequately insured in accordance with industry standards, the cost of general liability and property casualty insurance policies that include coverage for acts of terrorism has risen significantly subsequent to September 11, 2001. The cost of coverage for acts of terrorism is currently mitigated by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act (“TRIA”). In January 2015, Congress reinstated TRIA under the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2015 ("TRIPRA") and extended the program through December 31, 2020. Under TRIPRA, the amount of terrorism-related insurance losses triggering the federal insurance threshold will be raised from $180 million in 2019 to $200 million in 2020. Additionally, the bill increases insurers' co-payments for losses exceeding their deductibles, in annual steps, from 19% in 2019 to 20% in 2020. Each of these changes may have the effect of increasing the cost to insure against acts of terrorism for property owners, such as the Company, notwithstanding the other provisions of TRIPRA. In December 2019, Congress further extended TRIPRA through December 31, 2027. If TRIPRA is not continued beyond 2027 or is significantly modified, we may incur higher insurance costs and experience greater difficulty in obtaining insurance that covers terrorist-related damages. Our tenants may also have similar difficulties.

RISKS RELATED TO DEBT AND FINANCIAL MARKETS

A deterioration of the capital and credit markets could adversely affect our ability to access funds and the capital needed to refinance debt or obtain new debt.

We are significantly dependent upon external financing to fund the growth of our business and ensure that we meet our debt servicing requirements. Our access to financing depends on the willingness of lending institutions to grant credit to us and conditions in the capital markets in general. An economic recession may cause extreme volatility and disruption in the capital and credit markets. We rely upon our credit facility as a source of funding for numerous transactions. Our access to these funds is dependent upon the ability of each of the participants to the credit facility to meet their funding commitments. When markets are volatile, access to capital and credit markets could be disrupted over an extended period of time and many financial institutions may not have the available capital to meet their previous commitments. The failure of one or more significant participants to our credit facility to meet their funding commitments could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. This may make it difficult to obtain the financing we may need for future growth and/or to meet our debt service obligations as they mature. Although, prior to the commencement of our current Chapter 11 Cases, we have successfully obtained debt for refinancings and retirement of our maturing debt, acquisitions and the construction of new developments and redevelopments in the past, we cannot make any assurances as to whether we will be able to obtain debt in the future, or that the financing options available to us will be on favorable or acceptable terms.

25

Our indebtedness is substantial and could impair our ability to obtain additional financing.

Prior to the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, we were a highly leveraged company. At December 31, 2020, our pro-rata share of consolidated and unconsolidated debt outstanding was approximately $4,388.7 million, which is net of unamortized deferred financing costs. Our total share of consolidated and unconsolidated debt maturing in 2021, 2022 and 2023 giving effect to all maturity extensions that are available at our election, was approximately $539.2 million, $498.4 million and $1,764.1 million, respectively. Additionally, we had $61.6 million of debt, at our share, which matured in 2019, related to a non-recourse loan that was in default. See Note 8 and Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements for more information.

Our leverage and the limitations imposed on us by our financing arrangements and debt service obligations could have important consequences. For example, it could:

• result in the acceleration of a significant amount of debt for non-compliance with the terms of such debt or, if such debt contains cross-default or cross-acceleration provisions, other debt;

• result in the loss of assets due to foreclosure or sale on unfavorable terms, which could create taxable income without accompanying cash proceeds, which could hinder our ability to meet the REIT distribution requirements imposed by the Internal Revenue Code;

• materially impair our ability to borrow unused amounts under existing financing arrangements or to obtain additional financing or refinancing on favorable terms or at all;

• require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow to paying principal and interest on our indebtedness, reducing the cash flow available to fund our business, to pay dividends, including those necessary to maintain our REIT qualification, or to use for other purposes;

• increase our vulnerability to an economic downturn;

• limit our ability to withstand competitive pressures; or

• reduce our flexibility to respond to changing business and economic conditions.

If any of the foregoing occurs, our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and prospects could be materially and adversely affected, and the trading price of our common stock or other securities could decline significantly.

The filing of the Chapter 11 Cases constituted an event of default that resulted in certain monetary obligations becoming immediately due and payable with respect to the secured credit facility and the senior unsecured notes. The filing of the Chapter 11 Cases also constituted an event of default with respect to certain property-level debt of the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries, which may have resulted in the automatic acceleration of certain monetary obligations or may give the applicable lender the right to accelerate such amounts. Any efforts to enforce such payment obligations due under our debt instruments are subject to the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. See Note 2 and Liquidity and Capital Resources for additional information.

We may not be able to raise capital through financing activities.

Many of our assets are encumbered by property-level indebtedness; therefore, we may be limited in our ability to raise additional capital through property level or other financings. In addition, our ability to raise additional capital could be limited to refinancing existing secured mortgages before their maturity date which may result in yield maintenance or other prepayment penalties to the extent that the mortgage is not open for prepayment at par.

Rising interest rates could both increase our borrowing costs, thereby adversely affecting our cash flows and the amounts available for distributions to our stockholders, and decrease our stock price, if investors seek higher yields through other investments.

An environment of rising interest rates could lead holders of our securities to seek higher yields through other investments, which could adversely affect the market price of our stock. As noted above, we currently have suspended all distributions on our outstanding common and preferred stock, as well as on outstanding Operating Partnership Units, which will magnify such adverse impacts. One of the factors that has likely influenced the price of our stock in public markets during prior periods when we were making such distributions is the annual distribution rate we paid as compared with the yields on alternative investments. Further, numerous other factors, such as governmental regulatory action and tax laws, could have a significant impact on the future market price of our stock. In addition, increases in market interest rates could result in increased borrowing costs for us, which could be expected to adversely affect our cash flow and the amounts available for distributions to our stockholders and the Operating Partnership’s unitholders.

26

As of December 31, 2020, our total share of consolidated and unconsolidated variable-rate debt was $1,304.5 million. Increases in interest rates will increase our cash interest payments on the variable-rate debt we have outstanding from time to time. If we do not have sufficient cash flow from operations, we might not be able to make all required payments of principal and interest on our debt, which could result in a default or have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations, and which might have further adverse effects on our cash flow and our ability to make distributions to shareholders. These significant debt payment obligations might also require us to use a significant portion of our cash flow from operations to make interest and principal payments on our debt rather than for other purposes such as working capital, capital expenditures or any resumption of distributions to holders of our equity securities.

We may be adversely affected by changes in LIBOR reporting practices or the method in which LIBOR is determined.

It is also important to note that our variable-rate debt uses LIBOR as a benchmark for establishing the rate. LIBOR is the subject of recent national, international and other regulatory guidance and proposals for reform. These reforms and other pressures may cause LIBOR to disappear entirely or to perform differently than in the past. The consequences of these developments cannot be entirely predicted but could include an increase in the cost of our variable-rate debt.

In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority, the authority that regulates LIBOR, announced it intends to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. The Alternative Reference Rates Committee (ARRC) has proposed that the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) is the rate that represents best practice as the alternative to USD-LIBOR for use in derivatives and other financial contracts that are currently indexed to USD-LIBOR. ARRC has proposed a paced market transition plan to SOFR from USD-LIBOR and organizations are currently working on industry wide and company specific transition plans as it relates to derivatives and cash markets exposed to USD-LIBOR. There is no guarantee that a transition from LIBOR to an alternative will not result in financial market disruptions, significant increases in benchmark rates, or financing costs to borrowers. We have material contracts that are indexed to USD-LIBOR and we are monitoring this activity and evaluating the related risks.

The agreements governing our debt, including our senior credit facility and the indentures governing our Notes, contain various covenants that impose restrictions on us that may affect our ability to operate our business.

The filing of the Chapter 11 Cases constituted an event of default that resulted in certain monetary obligations becoming immediately due and payable with respect to the secured credit facility and the Notes. The filing of the Chapter 11 Cases also constituted an event of default with respect to certain property-level debt of the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries, which may have resulted in the automatic acceleration of certain monetary obligations or may give the applicable lender the right to accelerate such amounts. Due to the Chapter 11 Cases, however, the creditors’ ability to exercise remedies against the Debtors under their respective credit agreements and debt instruments was stayed as of the date of the Chapter 11 petition and continues to be stayed.

Other agreements that we enter into governing our debt, including in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases, have or will contain covenants that impose restrictions on us. These restrictions on our ability to operate our business could harm our business by, among other things, limiting our ability to take advantage of corporate opportunities. Various risks, uncertainties and events beyond our control could affect our ability to comply with these covenants. Failure to comply with any of the covenants in our existing or future financing agreements could result in a default under those agreements and under other agreements containing cross-default provisions.

We may not be able to generate sufficient cash flow to meet our debt service obligations.

Our ability to meet our debt service obligations on, and to refinance, our indebtedness, and to fund our operations, working capital, acquisitions, capital expenditures and other important business uses, depends on our ability to generate sufficient cash flow in the future. To a certain extent, our cash flow is subject to general economic, industry, financial, competitive, operating, legislative, regulatory and other factors, many of which are beyond our control.

We cannot be certain that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations or that future sources of cash will be available to us in an amount sufficient to enable us to meet our debt service obligations on our indebtedness, or to fund our other important business uses. Additionally, if we incur additional indebtedness in connection with future acquisitions or development projects or for any other purpose, our debt service obligations could increase significantly and our ability to meet those obligations could depend, in large part, on the returns from such acquisitions or projects, as to which no assurance can be given.

27

We may need to refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness, at or prior to maturity. Our ability to refinance our indebtedness or obtain additional financing will depend on, among other things:

• our financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and prospects and market conditions at the time; and

• restrictions in the agreements governing our indebtedness.

As a result, we may not be able to refinance any of our indebtedness, on favorable terms, or at all.

If we do not generate sufficient cash flow from operations, and additional borrowings or refinancings are not available to us, we may be unable to meet all of our debt service obligations. As a result, we would be forced to take other actions to meet those obligations, such as selling Properties, raising equity or delaying capital expenditures, any of which could have a material adverse effect on us. Furthermore, we cannot be certain that we will be able to effect any of these actions on favorable terms, or at all.

Despite our substantial outstanding indebtedness, we may still incur significantly more indebtedness in the future, which would exacerbate any or all of the risks described above.

We may be able to incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future. Although the agreements governing our existing revolving credit facility, term loans, Notes and certain other indebtedness do, and the agreements governing our financing arrangements upon emergence from the Chapter 11 Cases will, limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness, these restrictions are subject to a number of qualifications and exceptions and, under certain circumstances, debt incurred in compliance with these restrictions could be substantial. To the extent that we incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future, the risks associated with our substantial leverage described above, including our inability to meet our debt service obligations, would be exacerbated.

Federal and state statutes allow courts, under specific circumstances, to void guarantees and require holders of indebtedness and lenders to return payments received from guarantors.

Under the federal bankruptcy law and comparable provisions of state fraudulent transfer laws, a guarantee, such as the limited guarantee of the Notes provided by CBL or any future guarantee issued by any subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, could be voided and required to be returned to the guarantor, or to a fund for the benefit of the creditors of the guarantor, if, among other things, the guarantor, at the time it incurred the indebtedness evidenced by its guarantee (i) received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for the incurrence of the guarantee and (ii) one of the following was true with respect to the guarantor:

• the guarantor was insolvent or rendered insolvent by reason of the incurrence of the guarantee;

• the guarantor was engaged in a business or transaction for which the guarantor's remaining assets constituted unreasonably small capital; or

• the guarantor intended to incur, or believed that it would incur, debts beyond its ability to pay those debts as they mature.

In addition, any claims in respect of a guarantee could be subordinated to all other debts of that guarantor under principles of "equitable subordination," which generally require that the claimant must have engaged in some type of inequitable conduct, the misconduct must have resulted in injury to the creditors of the debtor or conferred an unfair advantage on the claimant, and equitable subordination must not be inconsistent with other provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

The measures of insolvency for purposes of these fraudulent transfer laws will vary depending upon the law applied in any proceeding to determine whether a fraudulent transfer has occurred. Generally, however, a guarantor would be considered insolvent if:

• the sum of its debts, including contingent liabilities, was greater than the fair saleable value of all of its assets;

• the present fair saleable value of its assets was less than the amount that would be required to pay its probable liability on its existing debts, including contingent liabilities, as they became absolute and mature; or

• it could not pay its debts as they become due.

The court might also void such guarantee, without regard to the above factors, if it found that a guarantor entered into its guarantee with actual or deemed intent to hinder, delay, or defraud its creditors.

28

A court would likely find that a guarantor did not receive reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for its guarantee unless it benefited directly or indirectly from the issuance or incurrence of such indebtedness. If a court voided such guarantee, holders of the indebtedness and lenders would no longer have a claim against such guarantor or the benefit of the assets of such guarantor constituting collateral that purportedly secured such guarantee. In addition, the court might direct holders of the indebtedness and lenders to repay any amounts already received from a guarantor.

RISKS RELATED TO DIVIDENDS AND OUR STOCK

A delisting of our stock from the NYSE could have materially adverse effects on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

On November 2, 2020, the NYSE announced that it had suspended trading in the Company’s common stock due to its “abnormally low” trading price levels, and had determined to commence proceedings to delist the Company’s common stock, as well as the depositary shares each representing a 1/10th fractional share of the Company’s Series D Preferred Stock and the depositary shares each representing a 1/10th fractional share of the Company’s Series E Preferred Stock. While the Company has appealed this decision in accordance with NYSE rules, and the appeal is still in process, there can be no assurance that an appeal will be successful. In the meantime, the Company’s common stock and the depositary shares are currently trading on the OTC Markets, operated by the OTC Markets Group, Inc., under the symbols “CBLAQ”, “CBLDQ” and “CBLEQ”, respectively. The over-the-counter markets are a more limited market than the NYSE and it is likely that there will be significantly less liquidity in the trading of our common and preferred stock.

The suspension of trading and potential delisting of our common stock could have material adverse effects on our business, financial condition and results of operations due to, among other things:

• reduced trading liquidity and market prices for our common and preferred stock ;

• decreased number of institutional and other investors willing to hold or acquire our stock, coverage by securities analysts, market making activity and information available concerning trading prices and volume, as well as fewer broker-dealers willing to execute trades in our stock, thereby further restricting our ability to obtain equity financing;

• resulting event of default or noncompliance under certain of our debt facilities and other agreements; and

• reduced ability to retain, attract and motivate our directors, officers and employees by means of equity compensation.

Our post-bankruptcy capital structure is yet to be determined, and any changes to our capital structure may have a material adverse effect on existing debt and security holders.

Our post-bankruptcy capital structure has yet to be determined and will likely be set pursuant to a Chapter 11 plan that requires Bankruptcy Court approval. The reorganization of our capital structure may include exchanges of new debt or equity securities for our existing debt, equity securities, and claims against us. Such new debt may be issued at interest rates, payment schedules and maturities different than our existing debt securities. Existing equity securities are subject to a high risk of being cancelled or replaced with new equity securities representing a significantly reduced equity interest in our Company following completion of the reorganization. The success of a reorganization through any such exchanges or modifications will depend on approval by the Bankruptcy Court and the willingness of sufficient numbers of existing debt and security holders holding sufficient amounts of debt to agree to the exchange or modification, subject to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, and there can be no guarantee of success. If such exchanges or modifications are successful, holders of our debt or of other claims against us may find their holdings no longer have any value or are materially reduced in value, or they may be converted to equity and be diluted or may be modified or replaced by debt with a principal amount that is less than the outstanding principal amount, longer maturities and reduced interest rates. Holders of our common stock may also find that their holdings no longer have any value and face highly uncertain or no recoveries under a plan. There can be no assurance that any new debt or equity securities will maintain their value at the time of issuance. If existing debt or equity holders are adversely affected by a reorganization, it may adversely affect our ability to issue new debt or equity in the future. Although we cannot predict how the claims and interests of stakeholders in the Chapter 11 Cases, including holders of common stock, will ultimately be resolved, we expect that common stock holders will not receive a recovery through any Chapter 11 plan unless the holders of more senior claims and interests, such as secured and unsecured indebtedness (which indebtedness is currently trading at a significant discount), are paid in full. Consequently, there is a significant risk that the holders of our common stock would receive no recovery in the Chapter 11 Cases and that our common stock will be worthless.

We have suspended paying dividends on our common stock and preferred stock and we cannot assure you of our ability to pay dividends in the future or the amount of any dividends.

Prior to the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases, our board of directors determined to suspend paying a dividend on our common stock and preferred stock, as well as distributions to the Operating Partnership’s outstanding common units, preferred units, Series S special common units (the “S-SCUs”), Series L special common units (the “L-SCUs”) and Series K special common units (the “K-SCUs”) (collectively, the “OP Units”). In making this determination, our board of directors considered a variety of relevant factors, including, without limitations, REIT minimum distribution requirements, the amount of cash available for distribution, restrictions under Delaware law, capital expenditures and reserve requirements and general operational requirements.

The dividend arrearage created by our board of directors’ decision to suspend the dividends that continue to accrue on our outstanding preferred stock (and the Operating Partnership’s distributions to its preferred units of limited partnership underlying our outstanding preferred shares) also require, pursuant to the terms of our relevant governing documents, that we not resume any payment of dividends on our common stock unless full cumulative dividends accrued with respect to our preferred stock (and such underlying preferred units) for all past quarters and the then-current quarter are first declared and paid in cash, or declared with a sum sufficient for the payment thereof having been set apart for such payment in cash. In addition, for so long as this distribution suspension results in the existence of a distribution shortfall (as described in the Partnership Agreement of the Operating Partnership) with respect to any of the S-SCUs, the L-SCUs or the K-SCUs (an “SCU Distribution Shortfall”), the terms of the Operating Partnership Agreement state that we (i) may not cause the Operating Partnership to resume distributions to holders of its outstanding common units of limited partnership until all holders of SCUs have received distributions sufficient to satisfy the SCU Distribution Shortfall for all prior quarters and the then-current quarter (which effectively also would prevent the resumption of common stock dividends, since our common stock dividends are funded by distributions the Company receives on the underlying common units it holds in the Operating Partnership) and (ii) may not elect to settle any exchange requested by a holder of common units of the Operating Partnership in cash, and may only settle any such exchange through the issuance of shares of common stock or other Units of the Operating Partnership ranking junior to any such units as to which a distribution shortfall exists. Our board of directors prospectively approved that, to the extent any partners exercise any or all of their exchange rights while the existence of the SCU Distribution Shortfall requires an exchange to be settled through the issuance of shares of common stock or other units of the Operating Partnership, the consideration paid shall be in the form of shares of common stock. We do not expect to pay any further dividends with respect to the Company’s outstanding common stock and preferred stock, or any distributions with respect to the Operating Partnership’s outstanding units of partnership interest, prior to the conclusion of our reorganization pursuant to the pending Chapter 11 Cases. We also expect our Chapter 11 reorganization to extinguish all claims related to the accrued and unpaid preferred stock dividends (including the currently stayed rights preferred stockholders otherwise would have to elect two additional directors to our board if preferred dividends are in arrears for six or more quarterly periods) and the Operating Partnership’s SCU Distribution Shortfall discussed above. Even if we successfully complete such reorganization, we cannot assure you that we will be able to make distributions in the future with respect to new equity securities issued pursuant to the Chapter 11 Cases. All of the foregoing could adversely affect the market price of our publicly traded securities, even following our pending Chapter 11 reorganization.

As a result of the cumulative, unpaid dividends on our preferred stock we are no longer eligible to register the offer and sale of securities on SEC Form S-3, which will impair our capital raising activities.

We are no longer eligible to use SEC Form S-3 to register offers and sales of our securities under the Securities Act, as a result of the existing dividend arrearage on our preferred stock, which will continue to accumulate following our board of directors’ decision in December 2019 to suspend such dividends. Historically, we have relied on shelf registration statements on Form S-3 for our public capital raising transactions, and also to register the offer and sale of shares of common stock under our DRIP. Our inability to use Form S-3 may harm our ability to raise capital in the future, as we will be required to use a registration statement on Form S-1 to register securities with the SEC, which may be expected to hinder our ability to act quickly in raising capital to take advantage of market conditions and to increase our cost of raising capital.

We may change the dividend policy for our common stock in the future.

Even if our board of directors should, in the future, determine based on the factors described in the preceding Risk Factors and in the paragraph below, that we are able to resume paying distributions on the outstanding equity securities of the Company and the Operating Partnership following the completion of a successful reorganization pursuant to the Chapter 11 Cases, depending upon our liquidity needs, we will still reserve the right to pay any or all of a dividend in a combination of cash and shares of common stock, to the extent permitted by any applicable revenue procedures of the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"). In the event that we should pay a portion of any future dividends in shares of our common stock pursuant to such procedures, taxable U.S. stockholders would be required to pay tax on the entire amount of the dividend, including the portion paid in shares of common stock, in which case such stockholders may have to use cash from other sources to pay

30

such tax. If a U.S. stockholder sells any common stock it receives as a dividend in order to pay its taxes, the sales proceeds may be less than the amount included in income with respect to the dividend, depending on the market price of our common stock at the time of the sale. Furthermore, with respect to non-U.S. stockholders, we may be required to withhold federal tax with respect to any future dividends, including any dividends that are paid in common stock. In addition, if a significant number of our stockholders sell shares of our common stock in order to pay taxes owed on any future dividends, such sales would put downward pressure on the market price of our common stock.

The decision to declare and pay dividends on any outstanding shares of our common stock following the conclusion of the Chapter 11 Cases, as well as the timing, amount and composition of any such future dividends, will be at the sole discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on our earnings, taxable income, FFO, liquidity, financial condition, capital requirements, contractual prohibitions or other limitations under our then-current indebtedness and any outstanding preferred stock, the annual distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, Delaware law and such other factors as our Board of Directors deems relevant. Any dividends payable will be determined by our Board of Directors based upon the circumstances at the time of declaration. Any change in our future dividend policy, assuming we are able to complete a successful reorganization pursuant to the Chapter 11 Cases, could have a material adverse effect on the market price of our future outstanding common stock.

Since we conduct substantially all of our operations through our Operating Partnership, our ability to pay dividends on our common and preferred stock depends on the distributions we receive from our Operating Partnership.

Because we conduct substantially all of our operations through our Operating Partnership, our ability to service our debt obligations, as well as our ability to pay any future dividends on our common and preferred stock will depend almost entirely upon the earnings and cash flows of the Operating Partnership and the ability of the Operating Partnership to make distributions to us on our ownership interests in our Operating Partnership. Under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act, the Operating Partnership is prohibited from making any distribution to us to the extent that at the time of the distribution, after giving effect to the distribution, all liabilities of the Operating Partnership (other than some non-recourse liabilities and some liabilities to the partners) exceed the fair value of the assets of the Operating Partnership. Further, as described above, the currently existing dividend arrearage with respect to our outstanding shares of preferred stock (and the underlying preferred units of the Operating Partnership), as well as the Operating Partnership’s existing SCU Distribution Shortfall, effectively preclude the Operating Partnership from resuming any distributions to holders of its common units (including distributions with respect to common units held by the Company, which fund our common stock dividend) until such preferred dividend arrearage and SCU Distribution Shortfall have been satisfied through the cash payment of all accumulated amounts due to the holders of such securities.

Additionally, the terms of our secured credit facility provide generally that distributions the Operating Partnership makes to us and the other partners in the Operating Partnership (i) may not exceed the greater of the amount necessary to maintain our status as a REIT or 95% of FFO, so long as there is no event of default (as defined), (ii) in the event of a default, may be restricted to the minimum amount necessary to maintain our status as a REIT and (iii) in the event of default for nonpayment of amounts due under the facility, the Operating Partnership may be prohibited from making any distributions. This in turn may limit our ability to make some types of payments, including payment of dividends to our stockholders. Any inability to make cash distributions from the Operating Partnership could jeopardize our ability to pay any future dividends to our stockholders for one or more dividend periods which, in turn, could jeopardize our ability to maintain qualification as a REIT.

RISKS RELATED TO GEOGRAPHIC CONCENTRATIONS

Since our Properties are located principally in the southeastern and midwestern United States, our financial position, results of operations and funds available for distribution to shareholders are subject generally to economic conditions in these regions and, in particular, to adverse economic developments affecting the operating results of Properties in our five largest markets.  

Our Properties are located principally in the southeastern and midwestern United States. Our Properties located in the southeastern United States accounted for approximately 47.3% of our total revenues from all Properties for the year ended December 31, 2020 and currently include 28 malls, 12 associated centers, 6 community centers and 4 office buildings. Our Properties located in the midwestern United States accounted for approximately 25.3% of our total revenues from all Properties for the year ended December 31, 2020 and currently include 16 malls, 2 associated centers and 2 self-storage facilities. Further, the Properties located in our five largest metropolitan area markets - Chattanooga, TN; St. Louis, MO; Lexington, KY; Laredo, TX; and Madison, WI - accounted for approximately 7.0%, 6.1%, 5.1%, 5.0% and 3.8%, respectively, of our total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2020. No other market accounted for more than 3.6% of our total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2020.

31

Our results of operations and funds available for distribution to shareholders therefore will be impacted generally by economic conditions in the southeastern and midwestern United States, and particularly by the results experienced at Properties located in our five largest market areas. While we already have Properties located in six states across the southwestern, northeastern and western regions, we will continue to look for opportunities to geographically diversify our portfolio in order to minimize dependency on any particular region; however, the expansion of the portfolio through both acquisitions and developments is contingent on many factors including consumer demand, competition and economic conditions.

RISKS RELATED TO FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS

We conduct a portion of our business through taxable REIT subsidiaries, which are subject to certain tax risks.

We have established several taxable REIT subsidiaries including our Management Company. Despite our qualification as a REIT, our taxable REIT subsidiaries must pay income tax on their taxable income. In addition, we must comply with various tests to continue to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, and our income from and investments in our taxable REIT subsidiaries generally do not constitute permissible income and investments for these tests. While we will attempt to ensure that our dealings with our taxable REIT subsidiaries will not adversely affect our REIT qualification, we cannot provide assurance that we will successfully achieve that result. Furthermore, we may be subject to a 100% penalty tax, or our taxable REIT subsidiaries may be denied deductions, to the extent our dealings with our taxable REIT subsidiaries are not deemed to be arm's length in nature.

If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, our funds available for distribution to stockholders will be reduced.

We intend to continue to operate so as to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code. Although we believe that we are organized and operate in such a manner, no assurance can be given that we currently qualify and, in the future, will continue to qualify as a REIT. Such qualification involves the application of highly technical and complex Internal Revenue Code provisions for which there are only limited judicial or administrative interpretations. The determination of various factual matters and circumstances not entirely within our control may affect our ability to qualify. In addition, no assurance can be given that legislation, new regulations, administrative interpretations or court decisions will not significantly change the tax laws with respect to qualification or its corresponding federal income tax consequences. Any such change could have a retroactive effect.

If in any taxable year we were to fail to qualify as a REIT, we would not be allowed a deduction for distributions to stockholders in computing our taxable income and we would be subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate rates. Unless entitled to relief under certain statutory provisions, we also would be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification was lost. As a result, the funds available for distribution to our stockholders would be reduced for each of the years involved. This would likely have a significant adverse effect on the value of our securities and our ability to raise additional capital. In addition, we would no longer be required to make distributions to our stockholders. We currently intend to operate in a manner designed to qualify as a REIT. However, it is possible that future economic, market, legal, tax or other considerations may cause our Board of Directors, with the consent of a majority of our stockholders, to revoke the REIT election.

Any issuance or transfer of our capital stock to any person in excess of the applicable limits on ownership necessary to maintain our status as a REIT would be deemed void ab initio, and those shares would automatically be transferred to a non-affiliated charitable trust.

To maintain our status as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code, not more than 50% in value of our outstanding capital stock may be owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code to include certain entities) at any time during the last half of a taxable year. Our certificate of incorporation generally prohibits ownership of more than 6% of the outstanding shares of our capital stock by any single stockholder determined by vote, value or number of shares (other than Charles Lebovitz, Executive Chairman of our Board of Directors and our former Chief Executive Officer, David Jacobs, Richard Jacobs and their affiliates under the Internal Revenue Code's attribution rules). The affirmative vote of 66 ^2/3% of our outstanding voting stock is required to amend this provision.

Our Board of Directors may, subject to certain conditions, waive the applicable ownership limit upon receipt of a ruling from the IRS or an opinion of counsel to the effect that such ownership will not jeopardize our status as a REIT. Historically, our Board of Directors has granted such waivers to certain institutional investors based upon the receipt of such opinions from the Company’s tax counsel. In connection with the previously disclosed Standstill Agreement entered into effective November 1, 2019 between the Company, Exeter Capital Investors, L.P., Exeter Capital GP LLC, WEM Exeter LLC, and Michael L. Ashner (collectively, the “Exeter Group”), pursuant to which Michael L. Ashner and Carolyn B. Tiffany

32

also were appointed to the Company’s Board of Directors, the Board (following receipt of an appropriate opinion of tax counsel) approved the granting to the Exeter Group of a similar waiver (the “Exeter Ownership Limitation Waiver”) to enable the Exeter Group to beneficially own up to 9.8% of the Company’s outstanding common stock, subject to the terms of the Exeter Ownership Limitation Waiver. Exeter Capital Investors, L.P. is a single purpose entity controlled by Michael Ashner to acquire common shares in CBL. Absent any such waiver, however, any issuance or transfer of our capital stock to any person in excess of the applicable ownership limit or any issuance or transfer of shares of such stock which would cause us to be beneficially owned by fewer than 100 persons, will be null and void and the intended transferee will acquire no rights to the stock. Instead, such issuance or transfer with respect to that number of shares that would be owned by the transferee in excess of the ownership limit provision would be deemed void ab initio and those shares would automatically be transferred to a trust for the exclusive benefit of a charitable beneficiary to be designated by us, with a trustee designated by us, but who would not be affiliated with us or with the prohibited owner. Any acquisition of our capital stock and continued holding or ownership of our capital stock constitutes, under our certificate of incorporation, a continuous representation of compliance with the applicable ownership limit.

In order to maintain our status as a REIT and avoid the imposition of certain additional taxes under the Internal Revenue Code, we must satisfy minimum requirements for distributions to shareholders, which may limit the amount of cash we might otherwise have been able to retain for use in growing our business.

To maintain our status as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code, we generally will be required each year to distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of our taxable income after certain adjustments. However, to the extent that we do not distribute all of our net capital gains or distribute at least 90% but less than 100% of our REIT taxable income, as adjusted, we will be subject to tax on the undistributed amount at regular corporate tax rates, as the case may be. Also, our cash flows from operations may be insufficient to fund required distributions as a result of differences in timing between the actual receipt of income and the payment of expenses and the recognition of income and expenses for federal income tax purposes, or the effect of nondeductible expenditures, such as capital expenditures, payments of compensation for which Section 162(m) of the Code denies a deduction, interest expense deductions limited by Section 163(j) of the Code, the creation of reserves or required debt service or amortization payments. In addition, we will be subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax on the amount, if any, by which certain distributions paid by us during each calendar year are less than the sum of 85% of our ordinary income for such calendar year, 95% of our capital gain net income for the calendar year and any amount of such income that was not distributed in prior years. In the case of property acquisitions, including our initial formation, where individual Properties are contributed to our Operating Partnership for Operating Partnership units, we have assumed the tax basis and depreciation schedules of the entities contributing Properties. The relatively low tax basis of such contributed Properties may have the effect of increasing the cash amounts we are required to distribute as dividends, thereby potentially limiting the amount of cash we might otherwise have been able to retain for use in growing our business. This low tax basis may also have the effect of reducing or eliminating the portion of distributions made by us that are treated as a non-taxable return of capital.

Complying with REIT requirements might cause us to forego otherwise attractive opportunities.

In order to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we must satisfy tests concerning, among other things, our sources of income, the nature of our assets, the amounts we distribute to our shareholders and the ownership of our stock. We may also be required to make distributions to our shareholders at disadvantageous times or when we do not have funds readily available for distribution. Thus, compliance with REIT requirements may cause us to forego opportunities we would otherwise pursue. In addition, the REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code impose a 100% tax on income from “prohibited transactions.” “Prohibited transactions” generally include sales of assets that constitute inventory or other property held for sale in the ordinary course of business, other than foreclosure property. This 100% tax could impact our desire to sell assets and other investments at otherwise opportune times if we believe such sales could be considered “prohibited transactions.”

Holders of common units and special common units in the Operating Partnership may have income tax liability attributable to their ownership of such units in excess of cash distributions.

It is possible that income taxes payable on taxable income allocated to a holder of common units or special common units in the Operating Partnership will exceed the cash distributions attributable thereto. This may occur because funds received by the Operating Partnership may be taxable income to the Operating Partnership (and thus allocated to holders of Operating Partnership units), while the Operating Partnership may use such funds for nondeductible operating or capital expenses of the Operating Partnership. This also could occur as a result of the voluntary or involuntary sale or other disposition (including a foreclosure sale) of one or more Properties owned by the Operating Partnership or subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership, or the retirement of any of the Operating Partnership’s or its subsidiaries’ debt at a discount. Thus, there may be years in which the tax liability attributable to the allocation of taxable income to holders of the Operating

33

Partnership’s common units or special common units exceeds the cash distributions from the Operating Partnership attributable to such units. This is particularly true at the present time, as the Operating Partnership currently has suspended all distributions on its common units and special common units until further notice. In such a case, holders of such units would be required to fund (from other sources of funds) any resulting income tax liability on such taxable income allocations in excess of distributions from the Operating Partnership to the holders of such units. Allocations of income or loss to holders of the Operating Partnership’s common units or special common units continue while such holder owns such Operating Partnership units. If a holder of units exercises its right to exchange its Operating Partnership common units or special common units to Company stock (or the cash equivalent thereof, at the Company’s election), gain or loss may be triggered to such exercising holder on such exchange transaction, but such holder will not be allocated taxable income or loss attributable to such units with respect to any time period after the closing of such exchange except as otherwise required under the applicable tax rules.

Partnership tax audit rules could have a material adverse effect on us.

The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 changed the rules applicable to U.S. federal income tax audits of partnerships. Under the rules, among other changes and subject to certain exceptions, any audit adjustment to items of income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit of a partnership (and any partner's distributive share thereof) is determined, and taxes, interest, or penalties attributable thereto could be assessed and collected, at the partnership level. Absent available elections, it is possible that a partnership in which we directly or indirectly invest, could be required to pay additional taxes, interest and penalties as a result of an audit adjustment, and we, as a direct or indirect partner of these partnerships, could be required to bear the economic burden of those taxes, interest, and penalties even though we may not otherwise have been required to pay additional taxes had we owned the assets of the partnership directly. The partnership tax audit rules apply to the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries that are classified as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The changes created by these rules are sweeping and, accordingly, there can be no assurance that these rules will not have a material adverse effect on us.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE

The ownership limit described above, as well as certain provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, amended and restated bylaws, and certain provisions of Delaware law, may hinder any attempt to acquire us.

There are certain provisions of Delaware law, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, our Third Amended and Restated Bylaws (the "Bylaws"), and other agreements to which we are a party that may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a third party from making an acquisition proposal for us. These provisions may also inhibit a change in control that some, or a majority, of our stockholders might believe to be in their best interest or that could give our stockholders the opportunity to realize a premium over the then-prevailing market prices for their shares. These provisions and agreements are summarized as follows:

• The Ownership Limit – As described above, to maintain our status as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code, not more than 50% in value of our outstanding capital stock may be owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code to include certain entities) during the last half of a taxable year. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation generally prohibits ownership of more than 6% of the outstanding shares of our capital stock by any single stockholder determined by value (other than Charles Lebovitz, David Jacobs, Richard Jacobs and their affiliates under the Internal Revenue Code's attribution rules), subject to the ability of the Board of Directors to grant waivers in appropriate circumstances, such as the Exeter Ownership Limitation Waiver. In addition to preserving our status as a REIT, the ownership limit may have the effect of precluding an acquisition of control of us without the approval of our Board of Directors.

• Supermajority Vote Required for Removal of Directors - Our governing documents provide that stockholders can remove directors with or without cause, but only by a vote of 75% of the outstanding voting stock. This provision makes it more difficult to change the composition of our Board of Directors and may have the effect of encouraging persons considering unsolicited tender offers or other unilateral takeover proposals to negotiate with our Board of Directors rather than pursue non-negotiated takeover attempts.

34

• Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals – Our Bylaws establish advance notice procedures with regard to stockholder proposals relating to the nomination of candidates for election as directors or new business to be brought before meetings of our stockholders. These procedures generally require advance written notice of any such proposals, containing prescribed information, to be given to our Secretary at our principal executive offices not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the anniversary date of the prior year’s annual meeting. Alternatively, a stockholder (or group of stockholders) seeking to nominate candidates for election as directors pursuant to the proxy access provisions set forth in Section 2.8 of our Bylaws generally must provide advance written notice to our Secretary, containing information prescribed in the proxy access bylaw, not less than 120 days nor more than 150 days prior to the anniversary date of the prior year’s annual meeting.

• Vote Required to Amend Bylaws – A vote of 66 ^{2 / 3} % of our outstanding voting stock (in addition to any separate approval that may be required by the holders of any particular class of stock) is necessary for stockholders to amend our Bylaws.

• Delaware Anti-Takeover Statute – We are a Delaware corporation and are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. In general, Section 203 prevents an “interested stockholder” (defined generally as a person owning 15% or more of a company's outstanding voting stock) from engaging in a “business combination” (as defined in Section 203) with us for three years following the date that person becomes an interested stockholder unless:

(a) before that person became an interested holder, our Board of Directors approved the transaction in which the interested holder became an interested stockholder or approved the business combination;

(b) upon completion of the transaction that resulted in the interested stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owns 85% of our voting stock outstanding at the time the transaction commenced (excluding stock held by directors who are also officers and by employee stock plans that do not provide employees with the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer); or

(c) following the transaction in which that person became an interested stockholder, the business combination is approved by our Board of Directors and authorized at a meeting of stockholders by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of our outstanding voting stock not owned by the interested stockholder. Under Section 203, these restrictions also do not apply to certain business combinations proposed by an interested stockholder following the announcement or notification of certain extraordinary transactions involving us and a person who was not an interested stockholder during the previous three years or who became an interested stockholder with the approval of a majority of our directors, if that extraordinary transaction is approved or not opposed by a majority of the directors who were directors before any person became an interested stockholder in the previous three years or who were recommended for election or elected to succeed such directors by a majority of directors then in office.

Certain ownership interests held by members of our senior management may tend to create conflicts of interest between such individuals and the interests of the Company and our Operating Partnership.  

Certain Property tenants are affiliated with members of our senior management. Our Bylaws provide that any contract or transaction between us or the Operating Partnership and one or more of our directors or officers, or between us or the Operating Partnership and any other entity in which one or more of our directors or officers are directors or officers or have a financial interest, must be approved by our disinterested directors or stockholders after the material facts of the relationship or interest of the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to them. Our code of business conduct and ethics also contains provisions governing the approval of certain transactions involving the Company and employees (or immediate family members of employees, as defined therein) that are not subject to the provision of the Bylaws described above. Such transactions are also subject to the Company's related party transactions policy in the manner and to the extent detailed in the proxy statement filed with the SEC for the Company's 2019 annual meeting. Nevertheless, these affiliations could create conflicts between the interests of these members of senior management and the interests of the Company, our shareholders and the Operating Partnership in relation to any transactions between us and any of these entities.

Malls

We owned a controlling interest in 51 Malls and non-controlling interests in 10 Malls as of December 31, 2020. The Malls are primarily located in middle markets and generally have strong competitive positions because they are the only, or the dominant, regional mall in their respective trade areas. The Malls are generally anchored by two or more anchors or junior anchors and a wide variety of mall stores. Anchor and junior anchor tenants own or lease their stores and non-anchor stores lease their locations.

We classify our regional Malls into three categories:

(1) Stabilized Malls - Malls that have completed their initial lease-up and have been open for more than three complete calendar years.

(2) Non-stabilized Malls - Malls that are in their initial lease-up phase. After three complete calendar years of operation, they are reclassified on January 1 of the fourth calendar year to the Stabilized Mall category. The Outlet Shoppes at Laredo was classified as a Non-stabilized Mall as of December 31, 2020 and 2019.

(3) Excluded Malls - We exclude Malls from our core portfolio if they fall in the following categories, for which operational metrics are excluded:

Lender Malls - Properties for which we are working or intend to work with the lender on a restructure of the terms of the loan secured by the Property or convey the secured Property to the lender. Asheville Mall, EastGate Mall, Greenbrier Mall and Park Plaza were classified as Lender Malls as of December 31, 2020. Hickory Point Mall and Greenbrier Mall were classified as Lender Malls as of December 31, 2019. Burnsville Center and Hickory Point Mall were returned to the lenders in December 2020 and August 2020, respectively. Lender Malls are excluded from our same-center pool as decisions made while in discussions with the lender may lead to metrics that do not provide relevant information related to the condition of these Properties or they may be under cash management agreements with the respective servicers.

We own the land underlying each Mall in fee simple interest, except for Brookfield Square, Cross Creek Mall, Dakota Square Mall, EastGate Mall, Meridian Mall, St. Clair Square, Stroud Mall and WestGate Mall. We lease all or a portion of the land at each of these Malls subject to long-term ground leases.

The following table sets forth certain information for each of the Malls as of December 31, 2020. Due to temporary mall and store closures that occurred related to COVID-19, the majority of our tenants did not report sales for the full reporting period. As a result, we are not able to provide a complete measure of sales per square foot for the year ended December 31, 2020, and instead, presented below under the column Mall Store Sales per Square Foot the 2019 amounts (dollars in thousands, except for sales per square foot amounts):

Totals represent weighted averages.

Mall Stores

The Malls have approximately 4,724 Mall stores. National and regional retail chains (excluding local franchises) lease approximately 68.7% of the occupied Mall store GLA. Although Mall stores occupy only 34.8% of the total Mall GLA (the remaining 65.2% is occupied by Anchors and Junior Anchors and a small percentage is vacant), the Malls received 77.7% of their total revenues from Mall stores for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Mall Tenant Occupancy Costs

Occupancy cost is a tenant’s total cost of occupying its space, divided by its sales. Mall store sales represent total sales amounts received from reporting tenants with space of less than 10,000 square feet.

The following table summarizes tenant occupancy costs as a percentage of total Mall store sales, excluding license agreements, for each of the past three years:

	Year Ended December 31, (1)
	2020	2019			2018
Mall store sales (in millions)	N/A (2)	$	4,386		$	4,498
Mall tenant occupancy costs	N/A (2)		12.07	%		12.30	%

(1) In certain cases, we own less than a 100% interest in the Malls. The information in this table is based on 100% of the applicable amounts and has not been adjusted for our ownership share.

(2) Due to the temporary mall and store closures that occurred, we do not believe occupancy cost to be an accurate measure for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Debt on Malls

Please see the table entitled “Mortgage Loans Outstanding at December 31, 2020” included herein for information regarding any liens or encumbrances related to our Malls.

Anchor tenants typically include tenants such as T.J. Maxx, Michaels, Target and Kohl’s. Associated Centers are located adjacent to one of our Mall properties and are managed by the staff at the Mall.

(2) Community Centers - Designed to attract local and regional area customers and are typically anchored by a combination of supermarkets, or value-priced stores that attract shoppers to each center’s small shops. The tenants at our Community Centers typically offer necessities, value-oriented and convenience merchandise.

(3) Office Buildings and Other

Debt on Other Property Types

Please see the table entitled “Mortgage Loans Outstanding at December 31, 2020” included herein for information regarding any liens or encumbrances related to our Other Property Types. 

Anchors and Junior Anchors

Anchors and Junior Anchors are an important factor in a Property’s successful performance. However, over the past several years the number of traditional department store anchors has declined, providing us the opportunity to redevelop these spaces to attract new uses such as restaurants, entertainment, fitness centers, casinos, grocery stores and lifestyle retailers that engage consumers and encourage them to spend more time at our Properties. Anchors are generally a department store or, increasingly, other large format retailers, whose merchandise appeals to a broad range of shoppers and plays a significant role in generating customer traffic and creating a desirable location for the Property's tenants.

Anchors and Junior Anchors may own their stores and the land underneath, as well as the adjacent parking areas, or may enter into long-term leases with respect to their stores. Rental rates for Anchor tenants are significantly lower than the rents charged to non-anchor tenants. Total rental revenues from Anchors and Junior Anchors accounted for 22.3% of the total revenues from our Properties in 2020. Each Anchor and Junior Anchor that owns its store has entered into an operating and reciprocal easement agreement with us covering items such as operating covenants, reciprocal easements, property operations, initial construction and future expansion.

During 2020, the following Anchors and Junior Anchors were added to our Properties, as listed below:

Name	Property	Location
Dick’s Sporting Goods	Annex at Monroeville	Pittsburgh, PA
Dick’s Sporting Goods/Golf Galaxy	Coastal Grand	Myrtle Beach, SC
Levin Furniture	Westmoreland Crossing	Greensburg, PA
Live! Casino	Westmoreland Mall	Greensburg, PA
Main Event	Mall del Norte	Laredo, TX
Tilt	CherryVale Mall	Rockford, IL

As of December 31, 2020, the Properties had a total of 451 Anchors and Junior Anchors, including 56 vacant Anchor and Junior Anchor locations, and excluding Anchors and Junior Anchors at our Excluded Malls.

PART II  

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES  

Our common stock is currently traded on the over-the-counter market, operated by OTC Markets Group, Inc., under the ticker symbol “CBLAQ.” Over-the-counter market quotations for our common stock reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission and may not necessarily represent actual transactions. There were approximately 794 shareholders of record for our common stock as of April 1, 2021.

During 2019, our board of directors suspended all future dividends with respect to the Company’s outstanding common stock and preferred stock, as well as distributions with respect to the Operating Partnership’s outstanding units of partnership interest, subject to quarterly review. We do not expect to pay any further dividends with respect to the Company’s outstanding common stock and preferred stock, or any distributions with respect to the Operating Partnership’s outstanding units of partnership interest, prior to the conclusion of our reorganization pursuant to the pending Chapter 11 Cases. If we successfully complete such reorganization, future dividend distributions with respect to new equity securities issued pursuant to the Chapter 11 Cases will be subject to our actual results of operations, taxable income, economic conditions, issuances of common stock and such other factors as our board of directors deems relevant. For additional information, see discussion presented under the subheading “Dividends – CBL” in Note 10 of this report. Our actual results of operations will be affected by a number of factors, including the revenues received from the Properties, our operating expenses, interest expense, unanticipated capital expenditures and the ability of the Anchors and tenants at the Properties to meet their obligations for payment of rents and tenant reimbursements. 

See Part III, Item 12 contained herein for information regarding securities authorized for issuance under equity compensation plans. There were no repurchases of common stock made by us during the three months ended December 31, 2020.

Operating Partnership Units

There is no established public trading market for the Operating Partnership’s common units. On April 1, 2021, the Operating Partnership had 5,117,856 common units outstanding (comprised of 3,001,463 special common units and 2,116,393 common units) held by 29 holders of record, excluding the 196,458,778 common units held by the Company.

During the three months ended December 31, 2020, in addition to the 658,880 shares of common stock issued to holders of 658,880 common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership as previously reported in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated October 16, 2020 and filed with the SEC on October 22, 2020, the Company issued 148,554 additional shares of common stock to a holder of 148,554 common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership in connection with the exercise of the holder’s contractual exchange rights. We believe the issuance of these shares was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) thereof, because this issuance did not involve a public offering or sale. No underwriters, brokers or finders were involved in these transactions.

ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

Pursuant to Release No. 33-10890 (including the transition guidance therein), which was adopted by the SEC on November 19, 2020, the Company has elected to exclude the disclosures formerly required by this Item 6.

The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes that are included in this annual report. Capitalized terms used, but not defined, in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations have the same meanings as defined in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Executive Overview

We are a self-managed, self-administered, fully integrated REIT that is engaged in the ownership, development, acquisition, leasing, management and operation of regional shopping malls, open-air and mixed-use centers, outlet centers, associated centers, community centers and office properties. Our shopping centers are located in 24 states, and are primarily in the southeastern and midwestern United States. We have elected to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.

We conduct substantially all of our business through the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership consolidates the financial statements of all entities in which it has a controlling financial interest or where it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. See Item 2 for a description of our Properties owned and under development as of December 31, 2020.

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization classified COVID-19 as a pandemic. Due to the extraordinary governmental actions taken to contain COVID-19, we were unable to predict the full extent of the pandemic’s impact on our results of operations for 2020 and its ongoing impact in 2021. As a result, we previously withdrew our full-year 2020 same-center NOI and FFO per share, as adjusted, guidance and underlying assumptions and do not expect to provide guidance going forward until future results can be more accurately predicted.

In response to local and state mandated closures, our entire portfolio, except for a few properties, closed in March 2020. Beginning in late April, government agencies began allowing the re-opening of properties with specified health and safety restrictions. By the close of the third quarter 2020, all our mall properties were able to reopen. As local mandates were lifted and properties reopened, stores within the properties followed suit with the majority of stores reopening by the close of the third quarter. We have implemented strict procedures and guidelines for our employees, tenants and property visitors based on CDC and other health agency recommendations. Our properties continue to update these policies and procedures, following any new mandates and regulations, as required. The safety and health of our customers, employees and tenants remains a top priority.

Our financial and operating results during 2020 reflect the ongoing impact of the temporary closure of our portfolio for a significant period due to government mandates and operating restrictions. While all properties were able to reopen by the close of the third quarter, many state and local markets continue to impose occupancy and other restrictions. These additional restrictions may have the effect of restricting traffic and sales for our tenants and have put additional pressure on our tenants’ financial health. We have worked with our tenants to enhance customer reach despite the restrictions, including offering curbside pickup, delivery and opening buy-online-pick-up-in-store locations. Revenues for the year were impacted by a substantial increase in the estimate for uncollectable revenues related to rents due from tenants that filed for bankruptcy or are struggling financially. Store closures and rent loss from pre-pandemic tenant bankruptcies, rent abatements granted and lower percentage rent related to lower retail sales also impacted revenues. We offset a portion of this decline through aggressive actions to reduce costs both at the property and corporate levels, including company-wide salary reductions, furloughs, reductions-in-force and other expense reduction initiatives. However, as properties reopened during the third quarter, certain expenses necessarily resumed.

The mandated closures resulted in nearly all our tenants closing for a period of time and/or shortening operating hours. As a result, we experienced an increased level of requests for rent deferrals and abatements, as well as defaults on rent obligations. While, in general, we believe that tenants have a clear contractual obligation to pay rent, we have been working with our tenants to address rent deferral and abatement requests. We granted rent abatements of approximately $25.4 million and deferrals of approximately $30.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2020.

We implemented a full financial COVID-19 response to improve liquidity and reduce costs. These significant actions included drawing $280 million on our secured line of credit, eliminating all non-essential expenditures, implementing a company-wide furlough and salary reduction program, implementing a permanent reduction in force and delaying and suspending capital expenditures, including redevelopment investments. See the "Liquidity and Capital Resources" section for more information.

52

As discussed under Voluntary Reorganization under Chapter 11 below, the Debtors commenced the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases. The filing of the Chapter 11 Cases constituted an event of default that resulted in certain monetary obligations becoming immediately due and payable with respect to the secured credit facility and the senior unsecured notes. The filing of the Chapter 11 Cases also constituted an event of default with respect to certain property-level debt of the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries, which may result in acceleration of the outstanding principal and other sums due. See Note 2 and Liquidity and Capital Resources for additional information.

We had a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2020 of $335.5 million as compared to a net loss of $131.7 million in the prior-year period. In addition to the impact of the government mandated closures and the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, significant items that affected the comparability between the year ended December 31, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019 include:

• $36.0 million of costs related to our reorganization efforts;

• Loss on impairment that is $26.2 million lower in 2020 than in 2019;

• Litigation settlement expense in 2020 that is $69.6 million lower;

• Gain on extinguishment of debt that is $39.2 million lower;

• $67.2 million less of gain on investments/deconsolidation related to deconsolidating two outlet centers in the third and fourth quarters of 2019;

• Gain on sales of real estate assets that is $11.6 million lower in 2020 than in 2019; and

• Equity in losses of unconsolidated affiliates of $14.9 million in 2020 compared to equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates of $4.9 million in 2019.

Our focus is on continuing to execute our strategy to transform our properties into suburban town centers, primarily through the re-tenanting of former anchor locations as well as diversification of in-line tenancy. This operational strategy is also supported by our balance sheet strategy focused on reducing overall debt, extending our debt maturity schedule and lowering our overall cost of borrowings to limit maturity risk, improve net cash flow and enhance enterprise value. As discussed further below under Voluntary Reorganization under Chapter 11, we are pursuing a plan to recapitalize the Company, including restructuring portions of its debt, through the Chapter 11 Cases. While the industry and our Company continue to face challenges, some of which may not be in our control, we believe that the strategies in place to redevelop our Properties and diversify our tenant mix will contribute to stabilization of our portfolio and revenues in future years.

Same-center NOI and FFO are non-GAAP measures. For a description of same-center NOI, a reconciliation from net income to same-center NOI, and an explanation of why we believe this is a useful performance measure, see Non-GAAP Measure - Same-center Net Operating Income in “Results of Operations.” For a description of FFO and FFO, as adjusted, a reconciliation from net income attributable to common shareholders to FFO allocable to Operating Partnership common unitholders, and an explanation of why we believe this is a useful performance measure, see Non-GAAP Measure - Funds from Operations within the "Liquidity and Capital Resources" section.

Voluntary Reorganization under Chapter 11

On the Commencement Date, the Debtors, commenced the Chapter 11 Cases by filing voluntary petitions under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code with the Bankruptcy Court. The Debtors are authorized to continue to operate their businesses and manage their properties as debtors-in-possession pursuant to sections 1107(a) and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code. Pursuant to Rule 1015(b) of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure, the Debtors’ Chapter 11 Cases are being jointly administered for procedural purposes only under the caption In re CBL & Associates Properties, Inc., et al., Case No. 20-35226. Documents filed on the docket of and other information related to the Chapter 11 Cases are available free of charge online at https://dm.epiq11.com/case/cblproperties/dockets.

We are currently operating our business as debtors-in-possession in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court. After we filed our Chapter 11 petitions, the Bankruptcy Court granted certain relief requested by the Debtors enabling us to conduct our business activities in the ordinary course, including, among other things and subject to the terms and conditions of such orders, authorizing us to pay employee wages and benefits, to pay taxes and certain governmental fees and charges, to continue to operate our cash management system in the ordinary course, and to pay the prepetition claims of certain of our service providers. For goods and services provided following the Commencement Date, we intend to pay service providers in the ordinary course.

Subject to certain exceptions, under the Bankruptcy Code, the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases automatically enjoined, or stayed, the continuation of most judicial or administrative proceedings or filing of other actions against the Debtors or their property to recover, collect or secure a claim arising prior to the Commencement Date. Accordingly,

53

although the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases triggered defaults under the Debtors’ funded debt obligations, creditors are stayed from taking any actions against the Debtors as a result of such defaults, subject to certain limited exceptions permitted by the Bankruptcy Code. Absent an order of the Bankruptcy Court, substantially all of the Debtors’ prepetition liabilities are subject to settlement under the Bankruptcy Code.

The filing of the Chapter 11 Cases constituted an event of default that resulted in certain monetary obligations becoming immediately due and payable with respect to the secured credit facility and the senior unsecured notes. The filing of the Chapter 11 Cases also constituted an event of default with respect to certain property-level debt of the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries, which may have resulted in the automatic acceleration of certain monetary obligations or may give the applicable lender the right to accelerate such amounts. Due to the Chapter 11 Cases, however, the creditors’ ability to exercise remedies against the Debtors under their respective credit agreements and debt instruments was stayed as of the date of the Chapter 11 petition and continues to be stayed.

After engaging in negotiations in a Bankruptcy Court-ordered mediation, on March 21, 2021, the Company entered into the Amended RSA, with the Consenting Noteholders in excess of 69% (including joinders) of the aggregate principal amount of the senior unsecured notes and the Consenting Bank Lenders party to the Company’s secured credit facility who hold in the aggregate in excess of 96% (including joinders) of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of debt under the secured credit facility. The Amended RSA amends and restates the Original RSA, dated as of August 18, 2020, and sets forth, subject to certain conditions, the commitments to and obligations of, on the one hand, the Company, and on the other hand, the Consenting Noteholders and Consenting Bank Lenders, in connection with the Restructuring Transactions set forth in the Amended RSA and the Plan Term Sheet. The Amended RSA contemplates that the restructuring and recapitalization of the Debtors will occur through a joint plan of reorganization in the Chapter 11 Cases.

The Amended RSA requires that the Company file the Amended Plan and related disclosure statement no later than 25 days after the Agreement Effective Date and under the Amended RSA we must seek to have the Amended Plan confirmed and declared effective no later than November 1, 2021. Before a Bankruptcy Court will confirm the Amended Plan, the Bankruptcy Code requires at least one “impaired” class of claims votes to accept the Amended Plan. A class of claims votes to “accept” the Amended Plan if voting creditors that hold a majority in number and two-thirds in amount of claims in that class approve the Amended Plan. The Amended RSA requires the Consenting Stakeholders vote in favor of and support the Amended Plan. As of the date hereof, the Consenting Bank Lenders and Consenting Noteholders each represent the requisite amount of claims necessary to accept the Amended Plan in each of their respective classes. For the foregoing reasons, among others, the Debtors believe that they will be able to confirm the Amended Plan in the Chapter 11 Cases.

Under the Amended RSA, the proposed Amended Plan will provide for the elimination of more than $1.6 billion of debt and preferred obligations as well as a significant reduction in interest expense. In exchange for their approximately $1.375 billion in principal amount of senior unsecured notes and $133 million in principal amount of the secured credit facility, Consenting Noteholders and other noteholders will receive, in the aggregate, $95 million in cash, $555 million of new senior secured notes, of which up to $100 million, upon election by the Consenting Noteholders, may be received in the form of new convertible secured notes and 89% in common equity of the newly reorganized Company. Certain Consenting Noteholders will also provide up to $50 million of new money in exchange for additional convertible secured notes. The Amended RSA provides that the remaining Bank Lenders, holding $983.7 million in principal amount under the secured credit facility, will receive $100 million in cash and a new $883.7 million secured term loan. Existing common and preferred stakeholders are expected to receive up to 11% of common equity in the newly reorganized company. The Amended RSA is subject to Bankruptcy Court approval, which the Company will seek in accordance with the terms of the Amended RSA.  

We cannot predict the ultimate outcome of our Chapter 11 Cases at this time. For the duration of the Chapter 11 proceedings, our operations and ability to develop and execute our business plan are subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with the chapter 11 process. As a result of these risks and uncertainties, the amount and composition of our assets, liabilities, officers and/or directors could be significantly different following the outcome of the Chapter 11 proceedings, and the description of our operations, properties and liquidity and capital resources included in this annual report may not accurately reflect our operations, properties and liquidity and capital resources following the Chapter 11 process.

In particular, subject to certain exceptions, under the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors may assume, assume and assign or reject executory contracts and unexpired leases subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court and certain other conditions. Generally, the rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease is treated as a prepetition breach of such executory contract or unexpired lease and, subject to certain exceptions, relieves the Debtors of performing their future obligations under such executory contract or unexpired lease but entitles the contract counterparty or lessor to a prepetition general unsecured claim for damages caused by such deemed breach subject, in the case of the rejection of unexpired leases of real property, to certain caps on damages. Counterparties to such rejected contracts or leases may

54

assert unsecured claims in the Bankruptcy Court against the applicable Debtor’s estate for such damages. Generally, the assumption or assumption and assignment of an executory contract or unexpired lease requires the Debtors to cure existing monetary defaults under such executory contract or unexpired lease and provide adequate assurance of future performance thereunder. Accordingly, any description of an executory contract or unexpired lease with the Debtors in this annual report, including where applicable a quantification of the Company’s obligations under any such executory contract or unexpired lease with the Debtors is qualified by any overriding rights we have under the Bankruptcy Code. Further, nothing herein is or shall be deemed an admission with respect to any claim amounts or calculations arising from the assumption, assumption and assignment or rejection of any executory contract or unexpired lease and the Debtors expressly preserve all of their rights with respect thereto.

Given the acceleration of the secured credit facility, the senior unsecured notes and certain property-level debt, as well as the inherent risks, unknown results and inherent uncertainties associated with the bankruptcy process and the direct correlation between these matters and our ability to satisfy our financial obligations that may arise, we believe that there is substantial doubt that we will continue to operate as a going concern within one year after the date our consolidated financial statements are issued. Our ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon our ability to successfully implement the Amended Plan set forth in the Amended RSA, which is pending approval of the Bankruptcy Court. See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Rental revenues from the Comparable Properties declined due to (i) store closures and rent concessions that were in effect prior to the COVID-19 pandemic for tenants with high occupancy cost levels and tenants that closed in 2019 due to bankruptcy and (ii) rent concessions to tenants that are in bankruptcy or are struggling financially primarily due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, including $25.4 million of rent abatements and $48.2 million in uncollectable revenues for past due rents. Percentage rent declined $7.6 million as a result of store closures and lower retail sales due to mandated property closures and reduced traffic.

Property operating expenses at the Comparable Properties decreased primarily due to the implementation of comprehensive programs to reduce operating expenses to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including salary reductions, furloughs, reductions-in-force and other operating expense initiatives.

The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense related to the Comparable Properties primarily relates to a lower basis in depreciable assets resulting from impairments recorded in 2019 and 2020, as well as write-offs of tenant improvements and intangible lease assets related to store closings that occurred in 2019 and 2020.

General and administrative expenses decreased $10.8 million due to the implementation of comprehensive programs to reduce expenses, including salary reductions, furloughs and a reduction-in-force, as well lower legal expenses as compared to the prior year period related to the litigation settlement and the new secured credit facility that closed in January 2019.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, we recognized $213.4 million of loss on impairment of real estate to write down the book value of six malls. For the year ended December 31, 2019, we recognized $239.5 million of loss on impairment of real estate to write down the book value of six malls and one community center. See Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements for more information.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, we recorded $23.9 million of prepetition charges representing professional fees related to our negotiations with the administrative agent and lenders under the secured credit facility and certain holders of our senior unsecured notes regarding a restructure of such indebtedness prior to the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases beginning on November 1, 2020.

For the year ended December 31, 2019, we recognized $61.8 million of litigation settlement expense related to the settlement of a class action lawsuit, net of amounts that were released. For the year ended December 31, 2020, we recognized a credit to litigation settlement expense of $7.9 million related to claim amounts that were released pursuant to the terms of the settlement agreement. See Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements for more information.

Other Income and Expenses

Interest and other income increased $3.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to the prior-year period primarily due to additional interest income related to the U.S. Treasury securities that we invested in using a significant portion of the $280 million we drew on our secured line of credit in March 2020 to increase liquidity and preserve financial flexibility in light of the uncertainty surrounding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Also, insurance settlements increased from the prior year due to an increase in weather related incidents at certain properties.

Interest expense decreased $5.6 million compared to the prior-year period. The decrease was primarily due to elimination of interest expense on the senior unsecured notes and the secured credit facility subsequent to filing the Chapter 11 Cases beginning on November 1, 2020. Also, the decrease was impacted by a $9.4 million reduction in property-level interest expense from the deconsolidation of three encumbered properties late in 2019, as well as the retirement of three

57

property-level loans. The decrease was partially offset by (i) a higher outstanding balance on the secured line of credit as a result of the $280 million we drew in March 2020 to increase liquidity and preserve financial flexibility, (ii) the accrual of additional interest on the secured credit facility at a higher interest rate imposed as a result of notices of default received from the administrative agent and (iii) an increase of $11.4 million of default interest expense related to property-level non-recourse loans that are in default, which may not be payable depending on the outcome of negotiations with the lenders. In accordance with ASC 852, which limits the recognition of interest expense during a bankruptcy proceeding to only amounts that will be paid during the bankruptcy proceeding or that are probable of becoming allowed claims, interest has not been accrued on the secured credit facility or the senior unsecured notes subsequent to the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, we recorded a $32.5 million gain on extinguishment of debt related to two malls, Burnsville Center and Hickory Point Mall, that were transferred to the lenders in satisfaction of the non-recourse debt secured by the properties. For the year ended December 31, 2019, we recorded $71.7 million of gain on extinguishment of debt related to two malls. We transferred Acadiana Mall to the lender in satisfaction of the non-recourse debt secured by the property. We sold Cary Towne Center and used the net proceeds from the sale to satisfy a portion of the non-recourse loan that secured the property. The remaining principal balance was forgiven.

During 2019, we recorded $67.2 million of gain on deconsolidation related to The Outlet Shoppes at El Paso and The Outlet Shoppes at Atlanta.

Gain on sales of real estate assets decreased $11.6 million compared to the prior-year period. In 2020, we recognized $4.7 million of gain on sales of real estate assets primarily related to the sale of eight outparcels. In 2019, we recognized $16.3 million of gain on sales of real estate assets primarily related to the sale of two centers, a hotel, an office building and seven outparcels.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, we recorded $36.0 million of reorganization items, which consists of professional fees directly related to the Chapter 11 Cases, as well as unamortized deferred financing costs and unamortized debt discounts expensed in accordance with ASC 852.

The income tax provision of $16.8 million in 2020 relates to the Management Company, which is a taxable REIT subsidiary, and consist of a current tax provision of $2.3 million and a deferred tax provision of $14.5 million, which reflects a full valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets. The full valuation allowance was recorded due to management’s evaluation of positive and negative indicators and determination that the deferred tax assets would not be realized. The income tax provision of $3.2 million in 2019 consists of a current tax provision of $0.5 million and a deferred tax provision of $2.7 million.

Equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated affiliates decreased by $19.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to the prior-year period. The decrease was primarily due to lower earnings of our unconsolidated affiliates due to the impacts of the mandated property closures during 2020 as a result of COVID-19, including an increase in estimates of uncollectable rental revenues and abatements of rent, as well as an increase in the amortization of our inside/outside basis difference related to the three properties that were deconsolidated late in 2019.

See Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, as amended, for a comparison of the year ended December 31, 2019 to the year ended December 31, 2018.

Non-GAAP Measure

Same-center Net Operating Income

NOI is a supplemental non-GAAP measure of the operating performance of our shopping centers and other Properties. We define NOI as property operating revenues (rental revenues, tenant reimbursements and other income) less property operating expenses (property operating, real estate taxes and maintenance and repairs).

58

We compute NOI based on the Operating Partnership's pro rata share of both consolidated and unconsolidated Properties. We believe that presenting NOI and same-center NOI (described below) based on our Operating Partnership’s pro rata share of both consolidated and unconsolidated Properties is useful since we conduct substantially all of our business through our Operating Partnership and, therefore, it reflects the performance of the Properties in absolute terms regardless of the ratio of ownership interests of our common shareholders and the noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership. Our definition of NOI may be different than that used by other companies, and accordingly, our calculation of NOI may not be comparable to that of other companies.

Since NOI includes only those revenues and expenses related to the operations of our shopping center Properties, we believe that same-center NOI provides a measure that reflects trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, sales at the malls and operating costs and the impact of those trends on our results of operations. Our calculation of same-center NOI excludes lease termination income, straight-line rent adjustments, and amortization of above and below market lease intangibles in order to enhance the comparability of results from one period to another.

We include a Property in our same-center pool when we have owned all or a portion of the Property since January 1 of the preceding calendar year and it has been in operation for both the entire preceding calendar year ended December 31, 2019 and the current year ended December 31, 2020. New Properties are excluded from same-center NOI, until they meet these criteria. Properties excluded from the same-center pool, which would otherwise meet these criteria, are Properties that are being repositioned or Properties where we are considering alternatives for repositioning, where we intend to renegotiate the terms of the debt secured by the related Property or return the Property to the lender. Asheville Mall, EastGate Mall, Greenbrier Mall and Park Plaza were classified as Lender Malls as of December 31, 2020.

Due to the exclusions noted above, same-center NOI should only be used as a supplemental measure of our performance and not as an alternative to GAAP operating income (loss) or net income (loss). A reconciliation of our same-center NOI to net loss for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 is as follows (in thousands):

	Year Ended December 31,
	2020			2019
Net loss	$	(335,529	)	$	(131,721	)
Adjustments: (1)

(1) Adjustments are based on our Operating Partnership's pro rata ownership share, including our share of unconsolidated affiliates and excluding noncontrolling interests' share of consolidated Properties.

Same-center NOI decreased $115.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to 2019. The NOI decline of 21.5% for 2020 was driven by a decline in total revenue of $139.0 million partially offset by a $23.7 million decline in total operating expenses. Rental revenues declined $134.1 million during 2020 due to (i) store closures and rent concessions that were in effect prior to the COVID-19 pandemic for tenants with high occupancy cost levels and tenants that closed in 2019 due to bankruptcy and (ii) rent concessions to tenants that are in bankruptcy or are struggling financially due

59

to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The $23.7 million decrease in total operating expenses was primarily due to the implementation of comprehensive programs to reduce operating expenses to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including salary reductions, furloughs, reductions-in-force and other operating expense initiatives.

Operational Review

The shopping center business is, to some extent, seasonal in nature with tenants typically achieving the highest levels of sales during the fourth quarter due to the holiday season, which generally results in higher percentage rents in the fourth quarter. Additionally, the malls earn most of their rents from short-term tenants during the holiday period. Thus, occupancy levels and revenue production are generally the highest in the fourth quarter of each year. Results of operations realized in any one quarter may not be indicative of the results likely to be experienced over the course of the fiscal year.

We derive the majority of our revenues from the Mall Properties. The sources of our revenues by property type were as follows:

	Year Ended December 31,
	2020			2019
Malls		90.4	%		91.0	%
Other Properties		9.6	%		9.0	%

Mall Store Sales

Mall store sales include reporting mall tenants of 10,000 square feet or less for Stabilized Malls and exclude license agreements, which are retail contracts that are temporary or short-term in nature and generally last more than three months but less than twelve months. The following is a comparison of our same-center sales per square foot for Mall tenants of 10,000 square feet or less (excluded Properties are not included in sales metrics):

	Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2020		Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2019		% Change
Stabilized mall same-center sales per square foot	N/A	(1)	$	386	N/A

(1) Due to the temporary mall and store closures that occurred, the majority of our tenants did not report sales for the full reporting period. As a result, we are not able to provide a complete measure of sales per square foot for the trailing twelve months.

Occupancy

Our portfolio occupancy is summarized in the following table (excluded Properties are not included in occupancy metrics):

	As of December 31,
	2020			2019

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2020, we had $294.9 million available in unrestricted cash and U.S. Treasury securities and we had $1,114.7 million outstanding on our secured credit facility. Our total pro rata share of debt at December 31, 2020 was $4,388.7 million. The $59.9 million in restricted cash at December 31, 2020 related to cash held in escrow accounts for insurance, real estate taxes, capital expenditures and tenant allowances as required by the terms of certain mortgage notes payable, as well as amounts related to cash management agreements with our lenders that are designated for debt service and operating expense obligations.

In February 2020, we utilized our secured credit facility to pay off two loans secured by Parkway Place and Valley View Mall totaling $84.5 million. Also, we closed on a new loan secured by The Outlet Shoppes at Atlanta – Phase II in the amount of $4.7 million, with an interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.5% and a maturity date of November 2023. Proceeds were used to retire the $4.4 million existing loan. In March 2020, we drew $280.0 million on our secured line of credit to increase liquidity and preserve financial flexibility in light of the uncertainty surrounding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. We purchased $154.2 million, including accrued interest, of U.S. Treasury securities with a portion of the borrowings on our secured line of credit. In December 2020, we purchased an additional $82.0 million of U.S. Treasury securities with a portion of the borrowings on our secured line of credit. We recorded a $32.5 million gain on extinguishment of debt related to returning Hickory Point Mall and Burnsville Center to the lenders in August 2020 and December 2020, respectively.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we implemented comprehensive programs to halt all non-essential expenditures, to reduce operating and overhead expenses and to reduce, defer or suspend capital expenditures, including redevelopment investments. These programs include a temporary reduction of up to 50% to the compensation of our Chairman of the Board, our CEO and our President as well as independent director fees, a temporary reduction of up to 20% to the compensation of our other named executive officers, salary reductions to all staff, a broad-based furlough program, a permanent reduction in workforce and 2020 capital expenditure reductions or postponements of approximately $60.0 million. While we have paused several major projects, we are pursuing capital lite solutions for backfilling many of our remaining available anchors, including joint venture partnerships, favorable lease structures and third-party arrangements – all of which benefit our portfolio while preserving capital. Additionally, we were able to achieve debt service payment deferrals for a portion of our secured loans. Securitized lenders in general have shown minimal flexibility in amending loan payments.

We elected to not make the $6.9 million interest payment (the “2024 Notes Interest Payment”) due and payable on October 15, 2020, with respect to the 2024 Notes. Under the indenture governing the 2024 Notes, we had a 30-day grace period to make the 2024 Notes Interest Payment before the nonpayment was considered an “event of default” with respect to the 2024 Notes. We filed the Chapter 11 Cases prior to the end of the 30-day grace period.

The filing of the Chapter 11 Cases constituted an event of default that resulted in certain monetary obligations becoming immediately due and payable with respect to the secured credit facility and the senior unsecured notes. We anticipate restructuring our unsecured debt maturities through the Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing.

62

Our total share of consolidated and unconsolidated outstanding debt maturing in 2021, assuming all extension options are elected, is $539.2 million, and we are in discussions with existing lenders. We anticipate restructuring our unsecured debt maturities through the recent Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing. The filing of the Chapter 11 Cases also constituted an event of default with respect to certain property-level debt of the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries, which may have resulted in the automatic acceleration of certain monetary obligations or may give the applicable lender the right to accelerate such amounts. See Note 8 and Note 9 for more information.

We derive the majority of our revenues from leases with retail tenants, which have historically been the primary source for funding short-term liquidity and capital needs such as operating expenses, debt service, tenant construction allowances, recurring capital expenditures, dividends and distributions. We believe that the combination of cash flows generated from our operations, combined with cash on hand and our investment in U.S. Treasury securities will, for the foreseeable future, provide adequate liquidity to meet our cash needs assuming we continue to operate as a going concern within twelve months of the date our consolidated financial statements are issued. In addition to these factors, we have options available to us to generate additional liquidity, including but not limited to, joint venture investments and decreasing expenditures related to tenant construction allowances and other capital expenditures. We also generate revenues from sales of peripheral land at our properties and from sales of real estate assets when it is determined that we can realize an optimal value for the assets.

Cash Flows - Operating, Investing and Financing Activities

There was $121.7 million of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as of December 31, 2020, an increase of $62.7 million from December 31, 2019. Of this amount, $61.8 million was unrestricted cash as of December 31, 2020. Our net cash flows are summarized as follows (in thousands):

	Year Ended December 31,
	2020			2019			Change
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	133,365		$	273,408		$	(140,043	)
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities		(280,397	)		24,586			(304,983	)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities		209,696			(296,448	)		506,144
Net cash flows	$	62,664		$	1,546		$	61,118

Cash Provided by Operating Activities

• Cash provided by operating activities during 2020 decreased primarily due to a decline in rental revenues from tenants due to the closure of most of our malls for a period of time in response to government mandates that began in March. Operating cash flows have also been impacted by rent deferrals and abatements that have been granted to tenants experiencing financial difficulties due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Rental revenues also decreased due to store closures and rent concessions for tenants with high occupancy cost levels, including tenants that closed in 2019 and 2020 due to bankruptcy prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as a decline in rental revenues related to dispositions. The decrease in rental revenues was partially offset by savings in property operating expenses and general and administrative expenses from the implementation of comprehensive programs to reduce operating expenses to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including salary reductions, furloughs, reductions-in-force and other operating expense initiatives. Prepetition charges related to our efforts to restructure our corporate-level debt also contributed to the decline in cash provided by operating activities.

Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities

• Net cash used in investing activities for 2020 was primarily related to the purchase of U.S. Treasury securities for $235.2 million using a significant portion of the $280.0 million that we drew on our secured line of credit. We also expended $53.5 million on additions to real estate assets, primarily related to redevelopment projects. Net cash provided by investing activities for 2019 was primarily related to a greater amount of proceeds from sales, partially offset by higher cash paid for capital expenditures.

Cash Used in Financing Activities

• The net cash inflow for 2020 is primarily due to the $280.0 million draw on our secured credit facility in order to increase liquidity and preserve financial flexibility in light of the uncertainty surrounding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, there were no common or preferred stock dividends paid in 2020, as

63

compared to $26.0 million in dividends paid to holders of common stock and $33.7 million in dividends paid to holders of preferred stock in 2019.

See Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, as amended, for a comparison of the year ended December 31, 2019 to the year ended December 31, 2018.

Debt of the Company

CBL has no indebtedness. Either the Operating Partnership or one of its consolidated subsidiaries, that it has a direct or indirect ownership interest in, is the borrower on all our debt.

CBL is a limited guarantor of the Notes, as described in Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements, for losses suffered solely by reason of fraud or willful misrepresentation by the Operating Partnership or its affiliates. We also provide a similar limited guarantee of the Operating Partnership's obligations with respect to our secured credit facility as of December 31, 2020.

Debt of the Operating Partnership

The following tables summarize debt based on our pro rata ownership share, including our pro rata share of unconsolidated affiliates and excluding noncontrolling investors’ share of consolidated Properties, because we believe this provides investors and lenders a clearer understanding of our total debt obligations and liquidity (in thousands):

We are in discussions with the lender regarding the loan secured by Greenbrier Mall.

The weighted-average remaining term of our total share of consolidated and unconsolidated debt was 3.1 years and 3.9 years at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The weighted-average remaining term of our pro rata share of fixed-rate debt was 3.4 years and 4.1 years at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. 

As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, our pro rata share of consolidated and unconsolidated variable-rate debt represented 29.7% and 22.5%, respectively, of our total pro rata share of debt.

See Note 8 and Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information concerning the amount and terms of our outstanding indebtedness as of December 31, 2020.

Issuer and Guarantor Subsidiaries of Guaranteed Securities

In March 2020, the SEC issued Rule Release No. 33-10762, Financial Disclosures About Guarantors and Issuers of Guaranteed Securities and Affiliates Whose Securities Collateralize a Registrant’s Securities ("Release 33-10762”). Release 33-10762 simplifies the disclosure requirements related to certain registered securities under Rules 3-10 and 3-16 of SEC Regulation S-X, permitting registrants to provide certain alternative financial disclosures and non-financial disclosures in lieu of separate consolidating financial statements for subsidiary issuers and guarantors of registered debt securities if certain conditions are met. The amendments in Release 33-10762 are generally effective for filings on or after January 4, 2021, with early application permitted. We adopted the new disclosure requirements permitted under Release 33-10762 effective for the year ended December 31, 2020.

The Operating Partnership’s senior secured credit facility is secured by 17 malls and 3 associated centers that are directly or indirectly owned by 36 wholly owned subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership (the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”). The Guarantor Subsidiaries own an additional four malls, two associated centers and four mortgage notes receivable that

66

are not collateral for the secured credit facility. The Guarantor Subsidiaries also entered into agreements to guarantee the Operating Partnership’s obligations under the senior secured credit facility.

Based on the terms of the Notes, to the extent that any subsidiary of the Operating Partnership executes and delivers a guarantee to another debt facility, the Operating Partnership shall also cause the subsidiary to guarantee the Operating Partnership’s obligations under the Notes on a senior basis. In connection with entering the guarantee agreements related to the senior secured credit facility, the Guarantor Subsidiaries entered a guarantee agreement with the issuer of the Notes to satisfy the guaranty requirement.

The guarantees of the Guarantor Subsidiaries are joint and several and full and unconditional. The guarantees are unsecured and effectively subordinated to any existing and future secured debt that a Guarantor Subsidiary may have to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt. Each Guarantor Property’s obligation will remain until the earlier of such time as (i) all guaranteed obligations have been paid in full in cash and each guaranteed obligation has been terminated or cancelled in accordance with its terms or (ii) any such Guarantor Subsidiary ceases to be a guarantor under the senior secured credit facility. The Guarantor Subsidiaries’ maximum guarantee related to the secured credit facility is $1,114.7 million as of December 31, 2020, and the maximum guarantee related to the Notes is $1,375.0 million as of December 31, 2020.

The following tables present summarized financial information for the Operating Partnership and the Guarantor Subsidiaries on a combined basis. The summarized financial information does not include the Operating Partnership’s investments in non-guarantor subsidiaries nor the earnings from non-guarantor subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions between the Operating Partnership and the Guarantor Subsidiaries have been eliminated. The summarized balance sheet information is as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and the summarized statement of operations information is for the year ended December 31, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019. Amounts are presented in thousands.

Financial Covenants and Restrictions

As discussed in Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements, the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases constituted an event of default that resulted in certain monetary obligations becoming immediately due and payable with respect to the secured credit facility and the senior unsecured notes. The filing of the Chapter 11 Cases also constituted an event of default with respect to certain property-level debt of the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries, which may have resulted in the automatic acceleration of certain monetary obligations or may give the applicable lender the right to accelerate such amounts.

(4) Our consolidated unencumbered properties generated approximately 35.8% of total consolidated NOI of $350,628,628 (which excludes NOI related to dispositions or lender properties) for the year ended December 31, 2020.

(5) NOI is derived from unencumbered portions of Tier One properties that are otherwise secured by a loan. The unencumbered portions include outparcels, anchors and former anchors that have been redeveloped.

Mortgages on Operating Properties

2020 Loan Activity

In 2020, we utilized our secured credit facility to pay off two loans secured by Parkway Place and Valley View Mall totaling $84.5 million. Also, we closed on a new loan secured by The Outlet Shoppes at Atlanta – Phase II in the amount of $4.7 million, with an interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.5% and a maturity date of November 2023. Proceeds were used to retire the $4.4 million existing loan. In August, we modified the fixed-rate loan secured by Jefferson Mall. The modification consisted of extending the maturity date from June 1, 2022 to June 1, 2026, and the loan will be interest only through March 2021 when monthly payments of principal and interest will be made through the maturity date. The loan secured by Jefferson Mall had an outstanding balance of $60.9 million as of December 31, 2020. In September, we completed a modification and extension of the loan secured by the second phase of The Outlet Shoppes of the Bluegrass in Louisville, KY, which extended the maturity date to October 2021 with a variable interest rate of LIBOR plus 350 basis points. The loan secured by the second phase of The Outlet Shoppes of the Bluegrass had an outstanding balance of $8.9 million as of December 31, 2020. In October, the Company completed a modification and extension of the loan secured by The Shoppes at Eagle Point, which extended the maturity date to October 2022. The loan secured by The Shoppes at Eagle Point had an outstanding balance of $34.6 million, $17.3 million at our pro-rata share, as of December 31, 2020. Lastly, we recognized a $32.5 million gain on extinguishment of debt related to two consolidated malls. See Note 8 and Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements for more information on 2020 loan activity.

Equity

In 2019, we suspended all future dividends on our common stock and preferred stock, as well as distributions to all noncontrolling interest investors in our Operating Partnership. The dividend arrearage created by our board of directors’ decision to suspend the dividends that continue to accrue on our outstanding preferred stock currently makes us ineligible to use the abbreviated, and less costly, SEC Form S-3 registration statement to register our securities for sale. This means we will be required to use a registration statement on Form S-1 to register additional securities for sale with the SEC, which we expect to hinder our ability to act quickly in relation to, and raise our costs incurred in, future capital raising activities. This preferred dividend arrearage (and the Operating Partnership’s related arrearage in distributions to its preferred units of

68

limited partnership underlying our outstanding preferred shares), under the terms of our preferred stock, also require that we not resume any payment of dividends on our common stock unless full cumulative dividends accrued with respect to our preferred stock (and such underlying preferred units) for all past quarters and the then-current quarter are first declared and paid in cash, or declared with a sum sufficient for the payment thereof having been set apart for such payment in cash. In addition, for so long as this distribution suspension results in the existence of an SCU Distribution Shortfall, the terms of the Operating Partnership Agreement state that we (i) may not cause the Operating Partnership to resume distributions to holders of its outstanding common units of limited partnership until all holders of SCUs have received distributions sufficient to satisfy the SCU Distribution Shortfall for all prior quarters and the then-current quarter (which effectively would also prevent the resumption of common stock dividends, since our common stock dividends are funded by distributions the Company receives on the underlying common units it holds in the Operating Partnership) and (ii) may not elect to settle any exchange requested by a holder of common units of the Operating Partnership in cash, and may only settle any such exchange through the issuance of shares of common stock or other units of the Operating Partnership ranking junior to any such units as to which a distribution shortfall exists. Our board of directors prospectively approved that, to the extent any partners exercise any or all of their exchange rights while the existence of the SCU Distribution Shortfall requires an exchange to be settled through the issuance of shares of common stock or other units of the Operating Partnership, the consideration paid shall be in the form of shares of common stock. We do not expect to pay any further dividends with respect to the Company’s outstanding common stock and preferred stock, or any distributions with respect to the Operating Partnership’s outstanding units of partnership interest, prior to the conclusion of our reorganization pursuant to the pending Chapter 11 Cases, which reorganization we also expect will extinguish all claims related to the accrued and unpaid preferred stock dividends and the Operating Partnership unit SCU Distribution Shortfall discussed above. If we successfully complete such reorganization, in connection with future dividend distributions with respect to new equity securities issued pursuant to the Chapter 11 Cases, we will review taxable income on a regular basis and take measures, if necessary, to ensure that we meet the minimum distribution requirements to maintain our status as a REIT.

See Listing Criteria in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding a notice we received from the NYSE regarding our non-compliance with the NYSE Listing Standards and our plans to address this non-compliance.

As a publicly traded company, and as a subsidiary of a publicly traded company, we previously accessed capital through both the public equity and debt markets. We have a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 on file with the SEC that previously authorized us to publicly issue unspecified amounts of senior and/or subordinated debt securities, shares of preferred stock (or depositary shares representing fractional interests therein), shares of common stock, warrants or rights to purchase any of the foregoing securities, and units consisting of two or more of these classes or series of securities and limited guarantees of debt securities issued by the Operating Partnership. This shelf registration statement also authorized the Operating Partnership to publicly issue unsubordinated debt securities. This shelf registration statement was due to expire in July 2021. However, as a result of both (i) the fact that the Company no longer qualifies as a well-known seasoned issuer under SEC rules and (ii) our loss of eligibility to use Form S-3 to register offers and sales of securities as described above, we are unable to use this shelf registration statement.

Additionally, while we had previously suspended quarterly dividend payments on our common stock during 2019, a very small amount of monthly “cash option” investments in shares continued into May 2020, pursuant to the terms of the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan (“DRIP”). Due in part to impacts on the Company’s operations and staffing resulting from ongoing efforts to address the COVID-19 pandemic, we inadvertently failed to suspend the operation of these “cash option” investments during the months of March, April and May 2020, after we lost the ability to use the Form S-3 registration statement for the DRIP, effective with the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K in March, due to the dividend arrearage with respect to our preferred stock. We have now fully suspended the operation of our DRIP, including the cash option feature but, as a result of this oversight, we issued a total of 6,134 shares of common stock that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) for aggregate consideration of $1,346.94 prior to such suspension. The purchasers of these shares, issued pursuant to our DRIP when we were not eligible to issue shares on Form S-3, could bring claims against us for rescission and other damages under federal or state securities laws.

Our common and preferred stock outstanding at December 31, 2020 was as follows (in thousands, except stock prices):

(1) Represents principal and interest payments due under the terms of mortgage and other indebtedness, net and includes $69,552 of variable-rate debt service on two operating Properties. The future interest payments are projected based on the interest rates that were in effect at December 31, 2020. See Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding the terms of long-term debt. The total consolidated debt service includes four loans, with an aggregate principal balance of $231,754 as of December 31, 2020, secured by Asheville Mall, EastGate Mall, Greenbrier Mall and Park Plaza, that are in default. The Company is in discussion with the lenders regarding restructuring or foreclosure actions.

(2) Represents principal and interest payments due under the terms of liabilities subject to compromise and includes $1,192,299 of variable-rate debt service on the secured line of credit and the secured term loan. The secured line of credit does not require scheduled principal payments. The future interest payments are projected based on the interest rates that were in effect at December 31, 2020. See Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding the terms of long-term debt. Includes $2,489,676 related to the secured credit facility and senior unsecured notes included in liabilities subject to compromise in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2020, and as the expected maturity date is subject to the outcome of the Chapter 11 Cases, the original, legal maturity dates are reflected in this table. In accordance with ASC 852, which limits the recognition of interest expense during a bankruptcy proceeding to only amounts that will be paid during the bankruptcy proceeding or that are probable of becoming allowed claims, interest has not been accrued on the secured credit facility or the senior unsecured notes subsequent to the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases. See Note 2 for more information

(3) Includes $162,597 of variable-rate debt service. Future contractual obligations have been projected using the same assumptions as used in (1) above.

(4) Obligations where we own the buildings and improvements, but lease the underlying land under long-term ground leases. The maturities of these leases range from 2021 to 2089 and generally provide for renewal options.

(5) Represents the remaining balance to be incurred under construction contracts that had been entered into as of December 31, 2020, but were not complete. The contracts are primarily for redevelopment of Properties.

(6) Represents the remainder of an agreement for maintenance, security, and janitorial services at our Properties that expires in September 2023.

Capital Expenditures  

Deferred maintenance expenditures are generally billed to tenants as CAM expense, and most are recovered over a 5 to 15-year period. Renovation expenditures are primarily for remodeling and upgrades of Malls, of which a portion is recovered from tenants over a 5 to 15-year period. We recover these costs through fixed amounts with annual increases or pro rata cost reimbursements based on the tenant’s occupied space.

70

The following table, which excludes expenditures for developments and expansions, summarizes these capital expenditures, including our share of unconsolidated affiliates' capital expenditures, for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to 2019 (in thousands):

	Year Ended December 31,
	2020		2019
Tenant allowances (1)	$	11,971	$	36,325
Deferred maintenance:
Parking area and parking area lighting		327		4,223
Roof repairs and replacements		2,373		5,787
Other capital expenditures		5,279		20,722
Total deferred maintenance		7,979		30,732
Capitalized overhead		1,108		2,294
Capitalized interest		1,954		2,661
Total capital expenditures	$	23,012	$	72,012

(1) Tenant allowances primarily relate to new leases. Tenant allowances related to renewal leases were not material for the periods presented.

Annual capital expenditures budgets are prepared for each of our Properties that are intended to provide for all necessary recurring and non-recurring capital expenditures. We believe that property operating cash flows, which include reimbursements from tenants for certain expenses, will provide the necessary funding for these expenditures.

We are continually pursuing new redevelopment opportunities and have projects in various stages of pre-development. Our shadow pipeline consists of projects for Properties on which we have completed initial project analysis and design, but which have not commenced construction as of December 31, 2020. Except for the projects presented above, we did not have any other material capital commitments as of December 31, 2020. 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements  

Unconsolidated Affiliates

We have ownership interests in 29 unconsolidated affiliates as of December 31, 2020. See Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements for more information. The unconsolidated affiliates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting and are reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as investments in unconsolidated affiliates. 

72

The following are circumstances when we may consider entering into a joint venture with a third party:

o Third parties may approach us with opportunities in which they have obtained land and performed some pre-development activities, but they may not have sufficient access to the capital resources or the development and leasing expertise to bring the project to fruition. We enter into such arrangements when we determine such a project is viable and we can achieve a satisfactory return on our investment. We typically earn development fees from the joint venture and provide management and leasing services to the property for a fee once the property is placed in operation.

o We determine that we may have the opportunity to capitalize on the value we have created in a property by selling an interest in the property to a third party. This provides us with an additional source of capital that can be used to develop or acquire additional real estate assets that we believe will provide greater potential for growth. When we retain an interest in an asset rather than selling a 100% interest, it is typically because this allows us to continue to manage the property, which provides us the ability to earn fees for management, leasing, development and financing services provided to the joint venture. 

o We also have the ability to contribute land into a joint venture partnership with diverse uses, such as hotels, self-storage and multifamily. We typically partner with developers who have expertise in the diverse property types.

Guarantees  

We may guarantee the debt of a joint venture primarily because it allows the joint venture to obtain funding at a lower cost than could be obtained otherwise. This results in a higher return for the joint venture on its investment, and a higher return on our investment in the joint venture. We may receive a fee from the joint venture for providing the guaranty. Additionally, when we issue a guaranty, the terms of the joint venture agreement typically provide that we may receive indemnification from the joint venture partner or have the ability to increase our ownership interest.

See Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements for information related to our guarantees of unconsolidated affiliates' debt as of December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. In preparing our financial statements, we are required to make assumptions and estimates about future events, and apply judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and the related disclosures. We base our assumptions, estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends and other factors that management believes to be relevant at the time our consolidated financial statements are prepared. On a regular basis, we review the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material.

An accounting policy is deemed to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made and if different estimates that are reasonably likely to occur could materially impact the financial statements. Management believes that the following critical accounting policies discussed in this section reflect its more significant estimates and assumptions used in preparation of the consolidated financial statements. We have reviewed these critical accounting estimates and related disclosures with the Audit Committee of our board of directors. See Note 3 of the consolidated financial statements, included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion of our significant accounting policies.

Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable

Minimum rental revenue from operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the initial terms of the related leases. Certain tenants are required to pay percentage rent if their sales volumes exceed thresholds specified in their lease agreements. Percentage rent is recognized as revenue when the thresholds are achieved and the amounts become determinable.

We receive reimbursements from tenants for real estate taxes, insurance, CAM, and other recoverable operating expenses as provided in the lease agreements. Tenant reimbursements are recognized as revenue in the period the related operating expenses are incurred. Tenant reimbursements related to certain capital expenditures are billed to tenants over periods of 5 to 15 years and are recognized as revenue in accordance with underlying lease terms.

73

We receive management, leasing and development fees from third parties and unconsolidated affiliates. Management fees are charged as a percentage of revenues (as defined in the management agreement) and are recognized as revenue when earned. Development fees are recognized as revenue on a pro rata basis over the development period. Leasing fees are charged for newly executed leases and lease renewals and are recognized as revenue when earned. Development and leasing fees received from unconsolidated affiliates during the development period are recognized as revenue to the extent of the third-party partners’ ownership interest. Fees to the extent of our ownership interest are recorded as a reduction to our investment in the unconsolidated affiliate.

Gains on sales of real estate assets are recognized when it is determined that the sale has been consummated, the buyer’s initial and continuing investment is adequate, our receivable, if any, is not subject to future subordination, and the buyer has assumed the usual risks and rewards of ownership of the asset. When we have an ownership interest in the buyer, gain is recognized to the extent of the third-party partner’s ownership interest and the portion of the gain attributable to our ownership interest is deferred.

Receivables include amounts billed and currently due from tenants pursuant to lease agreements and receivables attributable to straight-line rents associated with those lease agreements. Individual leases where the collection of rents is in dispute are assessed for collectability based on management’s best estimate of collection considering the anticipated outcome of the dispute. Individual leases that are not in dispute are assessed for collectability and upon the determination that the collection of rents over the remaining lease term is not probable, accounts receivable are reduced as an adjustment to rental revenues. Revenue from leases where collection is deemed to be less than probable is recorded on a cash basis until collectability is determined to be probable. Further, management assesses whether operating lease receivables, at a portfolio level, are appropriately valued based upon an analysis of balances outstanding, historical collection levels and current economic trends. An allowance for the uncollectable portion of the portfolio is recorded as an adjustment to rental revenues. Management’s estimate of the collectability of accounts receivable from tenants is based on the best information available to management at the time of evaluation.

We review current economic considerations each reporting period, including the effects of tenant bankruptcies. Additionally, with the uncertainties regarding COVID-19, our assessment also took into consideration the type of tenant and current discussions with the tenants regarding matters such as billing disputes, lease negotiations and executed deferrals or abatements, as well as recent rent payment and credit history. Evaluating and estimating uncollectable lease payments and related receivables requires a significant amount of judgment by management and is based on the best information available to management at the time of evaluation. For the year ended December 31, 2020, we reduced rental revenue by $48.2 million, due to lease-related reserves and write-offs, which includes $5.6 million for straight-line rent receivables. Actual results could differ from these estimates and such differences could be material to our consolidated financial statements.

Lease Modifications

In April 2020, the FASB issued a question-and-answer document (the “Lease Modification Q&A”) focused on the application of lease accounting guidance related to lease concessions provided as a result of COVID-19. Under existing lease guidance, we would have to determine, on a lease by lease basis, if a lease concession was the result of a new arrangement reached with the tenant (treated within the lease modification accounting framework) or if a lease concession was under the enforceable rights and obligations within the existing lease agreement (precluded from applying the lease modification accounting framework). The Lease Modification Q&A clarifies that entities may elect to not evaluate whether lease-related relief that lessors provide to mitigate the economic effects of COVID-19 on lessees is a lease modification under Topic 842, Leases. Instead, an entity that elects not to evaluate whether a concession directly related to COVID-19 is a modification can then elect whether to apply the modification guidance (i.e. assume the relief was always contemplated by the contract or assume the relief was not contemplated by the contract). Both lessees and lessors may make this election.

We have elected to apply the relief provided under the Lease Modification Q&A and will avail ourselves of the election to avoid performing a lease by lease analysis for the lease concessions that were (1) granted as relief due to the COVID-19 pandemic and (2) result in the cash flows remaining substantially the same or less than the original contract. The Lease Modification Q&A had a material impact on our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020. However, its future impact to us is dependent upon the extent of lease concessions granted to tenants as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in future periods and the elections made by us at the time of entering such concessions.

The Lease Modification Q&A allows us to determine accounting policy elections at a disaggregated level, and the elections should be applied consistently by either the type of concession, underlying asset class or on another reasonable basis. As a result, we have made the following policy elections based on the type of concession agreed to with the respective tenant.

74

Rent Deferrals

We will account for rental deferrals using the receivables model as described within the Lease Modification Q&A. Under the receivables model, we will continue to recognize lease revenue in a manner that is unchanged from the original lease agreement and continue to recognize lease receivables and rental revenue during deferral period.

Rent Abatements

We will account for rental abatements using the negative variable income model as described within the Lease Modification Q&A. Under the negative variable income model, we will recognize negative variable rent for the current period reduction of rental revenue associated with any lease concessions we provide.

At December 31, 2020, our receivables include $18.5 million related to receivables that have been deferred and are to be repaid over periods generally starting in late 2020 and extending for some portion of 2021. We granted abatements of $25.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. We continue to assess rent relief requests from our tenants but are unable to predict the resolution or impact of these discussions. For agreements that are in currently under negotiation, we do not expect the impact to be material.

Real Estate Assets

All acquired real estate assets are accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting and accordingly, the results of operations are included in the consolidated statements of operations from the respective dates of acquisition. The purchase price is allocated to (i) tangible assets, consisting of land, buildings and improvements, as if vacant, and tenant improvements and (ii) identifiable intangible assets and liabilities generally consisting of above- and below-market leases and in-place leases. We use estimates of fair value based on estimated cash flows, using appropriate discount rates, and other valuation methods to allocate the purchase price to the acquired tangible and intangible assets. Liabilities assumed generally consist of mortgage debt on the real estate assets acquired. Assumed debt with a stated interest rate that is significantly different from market interest rates is recorded at its fair value based on estimated market interest rates at the date of acquisition. Following our adoption of Accounting Standards Update 2017-01, Clarifying the Definition of a Business, on a prospective basis in January 2017, we expect our future acquisitions will be accounted for as acquisitions of assets in which related transaction costs will be capitalized.

Carrying Value of Long-Lived Assets

The Company evaluates its real estate assets for impairment indicators whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that recoverability of its investment in the asset is not reasonably assured. Furthermore, this evaluation is conducted no less frequently than quarterly, irrespective of changes in circumstances. The prolonged outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in sustained closure of the Company’s properties for a period of time, as well as the cessation of the operations of certain of its tenants, which has resulted and will likely continue to result in a reduction in the revenues and cash flows of many of its properties due to the adverse financial impacts on its tenants, as well as reductions in other sources of income generated by its properties. In addition to reduced revenues, the Company’s ability to obtain sufficient financing for such properties may be impaired as well as its ability to lease or re-lease properties as a result of worsening market and economic conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company’s evaluation of impairment of real estate assets considered its estimate of cash flow declines caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, but its other assumptions, including estimated hold period, were generally unchanged given the highly uncertain environment. The worsening of estimated future cash flows due to a change in the Company’s plans, policies, or views of market and economic conditions as it relates to one or more of its properties adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic could result in the recognition of substantial impairment charges on its assets, which could adversely impact its financial results. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded impairment charges of $213.4 related to six of its malls. As of December 31, 2020, seven other properties had impairment indicators; however, based on the Company’s plans with respect to those properties and the economic environment as of December 31, 2020, no additional impairment charges were recorded.

Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates

We evaluate our investment in unconsolidated affiliates for impairment indicators whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that recoverability of its investment in the asset is not reasonably assured. Furthermore, this evaluation is conducted no less frequently than quarterly, irrespective of changes in circumstances. The prolonged outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in sustained closure of our properties for a period of time, as well as the cessation of the operations of certain of its tenants, which has resulted and will likely continue to result in a reduction in the revenues and cash flows of many of its properties due to the adverse financial impacts on its tenants, as well as reductions in other

75

sources of income generated by its properties. In addition to reduced revenues, the Company’s ability to obtain sufficient financing for such properties may be impaired as well as its ability to lease or re-lease properties as a result of worsening market and economic conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

In 2018, an unconsolidated affiliate recognized an impairment of $89.8 million related to a mall. We recorded $1.0 million as our share of the loss on impairment, which reduced the carrying value of our investment in the joint venture to zero. See Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information about this impairment loss. No impairments of investments in unconsolidated affiliates were incurred during 2020 and 2019.

Non-GAAP Measure

Funds from Operations

FFO is a widely used non-GAAP measure of the operating performance of real estate companies that supplements net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) defines FFO as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding gains or losses on sales of depreciable operating properties and impairment losses of depreciable properties, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures and noncontrolling interests. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures and noncontrolling interests are calculated on the same basis. We define FFO as defined above by NAREIT less dividends on preferred stock of the Company or distributions on preferred units of the Operating Partnership, as applicable. Our method of calculating FFO may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs.

We believe that FFO provides an additional indicator of the operating performance of our Properties without giving effect to real estate depreciation and amortization, which assumes the value of real estate assets declines predictably over time. Since values of real estate assets have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, we believe that FFO enhances investors’ understanding of our operating performance. The use of FFO as an indicator of financial performance is influenced not only by the operations of our Properties and interest rates, but also by our capital structure.

We present both FFO allocable to Operating Partnership common unitholders and FFO allocable to common shareholders, as we believe that both are useful performance measures. We believe FFO allocable to Operating Partnership common unitholders is a useful performance measure since we conduct substantially all of our business through our Operating Partnership and, therefore, it reflects the performance of the Properties in absolute terms regardless of the ratio of ownership interests of our common shareholders and the noncontrolling interest in our Operating Partnership. We believe FFO allocable to common shareholders is a useful performance measure because it is the performance measure that is most directly comparable to net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders.

In our reconciliation of net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders to FFO allocable to Operating Partnership common unitholders that is presented below, we make an adjustment to add back noncontrolling interest in income (loss) of our Operating Partnership in order to arrive at FFO of the Operating Partnership common unitholders. We then apply a percentage to FFO of our Operating Partnership common unitholders to arrive at FFO allocable to common shareholders. The percentage is computed by taking the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period and dividing it by the sum of the weighted-average number of common shares and the weighted-average number of Operating Partnership units held by noncontrolling interests during the period.

FFO does not represent cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP, is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow needs and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) for purposes of evaluating our operating performance or to cash flow as a measure of liquidity.

We believe that it is important to identify the impact of certain significant items on our FFO measures for a reader to have a complete understanding of our results of operations. Therefore, we have also presented adjusted FFO measures excluding these significant items from the applicable periods. Please refer to the reconciliation of net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders to FFO allocable to Operating Partnership common unitholders below for a description of these adjustments.

FFO allocable to Operating Partnership common unitholders decreased 61.4% to $108.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to $280.3 million for the prior year. After making the adjustments noted below, FFO of the Operating Partnership, as adjusted, decreased 48.2% for the year ending December 31, 2020 to $140.8 million compared

76

to $271.5 million in 2019. The decreases in FFO were primarily driven by lower property-level NOI, which includes the estimate for uncollectable revenues and bad debt expense of $49.3 million and rent abatements of $25.4 million due to the mandated property closures as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The reduction in rental revenues was partially offset by lower operating expenses from the program we put in place to eliminate all non-essential expenditures and the company-wide furlough and salary reduction program.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to various market risk exposures, including interest rate risk. The following discussion regarding our risk management activities includes forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainties. Estimates of future performance and economic conditions are reflected assuming certain changes in interest rates. Caution should be used in evaluating our overall market risk from the information presented below, as actual results may differ. 

Interest Rate Risk

Based on our proportionate share of consolidated and unconsolidated variable-rate debt at December 31, 2020, and excluding the secured credit facility, which is included in liabilities subject to compromise in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets due to the Chapter 11 Cases, a 0.5% increase or decrease in interest rates on variable rate debt would result in annual cash flows of approximately $9.2 million and $7.3 million, respectively, and increase or decrease annual interest expense, after the effect of capitalized interest, by approximately $0.9 million.

Based on our proportionate share of consolidated and unconsolidated variable-rate debt at December 31, 2020, and including the secured credit facility, which is included in liabilities subject to compromise in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets due to the Chapter 11 Cases, a 0.5% increase or decrease in interest rates on variable rate debt would result in annual cash flows of approximately $120.6 million and $107.6 million, respectively, and increase or decrease annual interest expense, after the effect of capitalized interest, by approximately $6.5 million.

Based on our proportionate share of total consolidated and unconsolidated debt at December 31, 2020, and excluding the secured credit facility and senior unsecured notes which are included in liabilities subject to compromise in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets due to the Chapter 11 Cases, a 0.5% increase in interest rates would decrease the fair value of debt by approximately $17.9 million, while a 0.5% decrease in interest rates would increase the fair value of debt by approximately $16.0 million. 

Based on our proportionate share of total consolidated and unconsolidated debt at December 31, 2020, and including the secured credit facility and senior unsecured notes which are included in liabilities subject to compromise in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets due to the Chapter 11 Cases, a 0.5% increase in interest rates would decrease

78

the fair value of debt by approximately $27.4 million, while a 0.5% decrease in interest rates would increase the fair value of debt by approximately $24.0 million.

Controls and Procedures with Respect to the Company

Conclusion Regarding Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of its effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company has evaluated the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of the end of the period covered by this report, to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as a result of the material weakness described below.

Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, management of the Company determined that there was a control deficiency that constituted a material weakness, as described below.

As a result of turnover, the Company did not maintain a sufficient complement of personnel commensurate with their accounting and financial reporting requirements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and SEC regulations.

The control deficiency described above created a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis and therefore we concluded that the deficiency represents a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) (the “2013 Framework”).

Notwithstanding the identified material weakness, management believes that the Consolidated Financial Statements and related financial information included in this Form 10-K fairly present, in all material respects, the Company’s balance sheets, statements of operations, comprehensive loss and cash flows as of and for the periods presented.

Remediation Plan

The Company plans to remediate this material weakness by hiring additional personnel to enable them to meet their financial reporting requirements. The Company may also utilize outside advisors to assist on a short-term basis.

Report of Management on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Management recognizes that there are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, including the potential for human error or the circumvention or overriding of internal controls. Accordingly, even effective internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. In addition, any projection of the evaluation of effectiveness to future periods is subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the polices or procedures may deteriorate.

Management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the framework established in the 2013 Framework and concluded that, as of December 31, 2020, the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting for the reasons described above.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have continued to address the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our control structure, including modifications to business modeling, forecasting and estimations, lease modifications, and accounts receivable collectability, as well as for the consequences of reductions in headcount and remote working arrangements. We are continually monitoring and assessing the COVID-19 pandemic’s effect on our internal control processes in order to minimize the impact to their design and operating effectiveness. There were no other changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2020, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Controls and Procedures with Respect to the Operating Partnership

Conclusion Regarding Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of its effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, whose subsidiary CBL Holdings I is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Operating Partnership has evaluated the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, as a result of the material weakness described above these officers concluded that the Operating Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Operating Partnership in the reports that the Operating Partnership files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to management of the Company, acting on behalf of the Operating Partnership in its capacity as the general partner of the Operating Partnership, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Operating Partnership’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, management of the Operating Partnership determined that there was a control deficiency that constituted a material weakness, as described below.

As a result of turnover, the Operating Partnership did not maintain a sufficient complement of personnel commensurate with their accounting and financial reporting requirements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and SEC regulations.

The control deficiency described above created a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis and therefore we concluded that the deficiency represents a material weakness in the Operating Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting and that the Operating Partnership did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting based on criteria established in the 2013 Framework.

Notwithstanding the identified material weakness, management believes that the Consolidated Financial Statements and related financial information included in this Form 10-K fairly present, in all material respects, the Company’s balance sheets, statements of operations, comprehensive loss and cash flows as of and for the periods presented.

Remediation Plan

The Operating Partnership plans to remediate this material weakness by hiring additional personnel to enable them to meet their financial reporting requirements. The Operating Partnership may also utilize outside advisors to assist on a short-term basis.

Report of Management on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management of the Operating Partnership is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Operating Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of the Operating Partnership’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Management recognizes that there are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, including the potential for human error or the circumvention or overriding of internal controls. Accordingly, even effective internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a

81

timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. In addition, any projection of the evaluation of effectiveness to future periods is subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the polices or procedures may deteriorate.

The Company's management, whose subsidiary CBL Holdings I is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the Operating Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting based on the framework established in the 2013 Framework and concluded that, as of December 31, 2020, the Operating Partnership did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting for the reasons described above.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have continued to address the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our control structure, including modifications to business modeling, forecasting and estimations, lease modifications, and accounts receivable collectability, as well as for the consequences of reductions in headcount and remote working arrangements. We are continually monitoring and assessing the COVID-19 pandemic’s effect on our internal control processes in order to minimize the impact to their design and operating effectiveness. There were no other changes in the Operating Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2020, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of CBL & Associates Properties, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. (Debtors-In-Possession) and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes and the schedules listed in the Index at Item 15 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company filed for bankruptcy on November 1, 2020 and has experienced acceleration of the senior secured credit facility, the senior unsecured notes of CBL & Associates Limited Partnership, a wholly owned subsidiary, and certain property-level debt, as well as inherent risks and uncertainties associated with the bankruptcy process, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Bankruptcy Proceedings

As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The accompanying financial statements do not purport to reflect or provide for the consequences of the bankruptcy proceedings. In particular, such financial statements do not purport to show (1) as to assets, their realizable value on a liquidation basis or their availability to satisfy liabilities; (2) as to prepetition liabilities, the settlement amounts for allowed claims, or the status and priority thereof; (3) as to shareholder accounts, the effect of any changes that may be made in the capitalization of the Company; or (4) as to operations, the effect of any changes that may be made in its business.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

86

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Real Estate Assets – Determination of Impairment Indicators and Impairment - Refer to Note 3, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Carrying Value of Long-Lived Assets) and Note 17, Fair Value Measurements, to the financial statements

Critical Audit Matter Description

The Company performs an impairment analysis if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of any of its long-lived assets may not be recoverable. The Company’s evaluation of the recoverability of consolidated long-lived assets involves the comparison of undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by each property over the Company’s expected remaining holding period to the respective carrying amount. The determination of whether the carrying value is recoverable also requires management to make estimates related to probability weighted scenarios impacting undiscounted cash flow models.  The Company considers both quantitative and qualitative factors in its impairment analysis. Significant quantitative factors include historical and forecasted information such as net operating income, occupancy statistics, and tenant sales levels. Significant qualitative factors include market conditions, age and condition of the asset, and tenant mix. The quantitative and qualitative factors impact the selection of the terminal capitalization rate which is used in both the undiscounted and discounted cash flow model as well as the discount rate used solely in the discounted cash flow model. Total real estate assets as of December 31, 2020 were $3.6 billion, net of impairment losses recorded during the year ended December 31, 2020 of $213 million.

Given (1) the Company’s evaluation of possible indications of impairment of long-lived assets involves subjectivity in assessing whether events or changes in circumstances have occurred, including a change in the expected remaining holding period of its long-live assets, indicating that the carrying amounts of real estate assets may not be recoverable and (2) the Company’s evaluation of cash flow estimates used both for determining recoverability and estimating fair value to determine impairment requires significant estimates and assumptions related to net operating income, occupancy, capitalization, and discount rates, performing procedures to (a) evaluate whether impairment indicators were appropriately identified and (b) the reasonableness of the cash flow estimates used for determining recoverability and estimating fair value required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our fair value specialists.

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

Our audit procedures related to the Company’s impairment analyses included the following, among others:

• Inquired of Company personnel and read minutes of the executive committee and board of directors’ meetings to identify any indicators that a long-lived asset will be sold or otherwise disposed of significantly before the end of its previously estimated useful life.

• Obtained the Company’s summary and plan for long-lived assets with near-term debt maturities and evaluated such plans to identify long-lived assets with a more-likely-than-not probability of being conveyed to the lender.

• Evaluated whether long-lived assets with significant declines in net operating income might indicate a significant decrease in the market value of the long-lived asset.

• Where applicable, we evaluated the Company’s probability weighting of operating cash flow projections reflecting the outcome of different uses or disposition scenarios for the long-lived asset.

• With the assistance of our internal fair value specialists, we evaluated the reasonableness of selected terminal capitalization rates and discount rates based on external market data surveys, while also considering the significant quantitative and qualitative factors specific to the property that would impact the selected data point within the range.

• We evaluated the reasonableness of the operating cash flow projections by comparing to the Company’s historical results and considered the impact of leasing activity and rent concessions.

87

Tenant Receivables- Collectability — Refer to Note 3 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Accounts Receivable) to the financial statements

Critical Audit Matter Description

The duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on a tenants’ ability to pay rents has caused uncertainty in the Company’s ongoing ability to collect rents when due. Considering the potential impact of these uncertainties, the Company performs a detailed review of amounts due from tenants to determine whether tenant receivables and straight-line rent receivables balances are realizable based on factors affecting the collectability of those balances, such as type of retailer, billing disputes, lease negotiation status, executed deferrals or abatements, as well as recent rent collection experience and tenant bankruptcies. The Company recognizes an allowance for the uncollectible portion of its tenant receivables and the uncollectible portion of its straight-line rent receivables as a reduction of rental revenues. If a lessee’s accounts receivable balance is not considered probable of collection, the Company writes off the full accounts receivable balance and straight-line rent receivable balance associated with the lease. If future lease income is not considered probable of collection, the Company recognizes lease income on a cash basis.  

Given the significant judgment involved in assessing whether it is probable that a tenant will pay outstanding receivables and whether it is probable that substantially all future lease payments will be collected in accordance with the lease terms, auditing management’s evaluation of collectability of tenant receivables required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort. In particular, the assessment of collectability involves making significant judgments regarding the tenant’s financial condition based on information regarding type of retailer, billing disputes, lease negotiation status, executed deferrals or abatements, as well as recent rent collection experience and tenant bankruptcies.

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

Our audit procedures related to the collectability of tenant receivables included the following, among others:

• We tested the effectiveness of controls over the collectability of tenant receivables

• We inquired of Company personnel, including those from the accounts receivable collections department, leasing department, and operations, to obtain an understanding of the most recent tenant correspondence, payment history, and status of lease modification negotiations including rent deferrals or abatements

• We inspected tenant records, tenant correspondence, and executed lease modification agreements to corroborate our inquiries and to determine whether management’s assumptions regarding tenant specific collection losses were appropriate.

• We evaluated the impact of activity subsequent to the balance sheet date on the Company’s estimates of the collectability of tenant receivables.

• Read minutes of executive committee and board of directors’ meetings and independently considered whether tenant receivables and straight-line rent receivable for those tenants which have filed for bankruptcy were appropriately reserved for in accordance with management’s policy.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Unit Holders of CBL & Associates Limited Partnership

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CBL & Associates Limited Partnership and subsidiaries (Debtors-In-Possession) (the "Partnership") as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, capital, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes and the schedules listed in the Index at Item 15 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Partnership as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Partnership will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Partnership filed for bankruptcy on November 1, 2020 and has experienced acceleration of its senior secured credit facility, the senior unsecured notes and certain property-level debt, as well as inherent risks and uncertainties associated with the bankruptcy process, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Bankruptcy Proceedings

As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Partnership has filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The accompanying financial statements do not purport to reflect or provide for the consequences of the bankruptcy proceedings. In particular, such financial statements do not purport to show (1) as to assets, their realizable value on a liquidation basis or their availability to satisfy liabilities; (2) as to prepetition liabilities, the settlement amounts for allowed claims, or the status and priority thereof; (3) as to unitholder accounts, the effect of any changes that may be made in the capitalization of the Partnership; or (4) as to operations, the effect of any changes that may be made in its business.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Partnership's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Partnership in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Partnership is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

95

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Real Estate Assets – Determination of Impairment Indicators and Impairment - Refer to Note 3, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Carrying Value of Long-Lived Assets) and Note 17, Fair Value Measurements, to the financial statements

Critical Audit Matter Description

The Partnership performs an impairment analysis if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of any of its long-lived assets may not be recoverable. The Partnership’s evaluation of the recoverability of consolidated long-lived assets involves the comparison of undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by each property over the Partnership’s expected remaining holding period to the respective carrying amount. The determination of whether the carrying value is recoverable also requires management to make estimates related to probability weighted scenarios impacting undiscounted cash flow models.  The Partnership considers both quantitative and qualitative factors in its impairment analysis. Significant quantitative factors include historical and forecasted information such as net operating income, occupancy statistics, and tenant sales levels. Significant qualitative factors include market conditions, age and condition of the asset, and tenant mix. The quantitative and qualitative factors impact the selection of the terminal capitalization rate which is used in both the undiscounted and discounted cash flow model as well as the discount rate used solely in the discounted cash flow model. Total real estate assets as of December 31, 2020 were $3.6 billion, net of impairment losses recorded during the year ended December 31, 2020 of $213 million.

Given (1) the Partnership’s evaluation of possible indications of impairment of long-lived assets involves subjectivity in assessing whether events or changes in circumstances have occurred, including a change in the expected remaining holding period of its long-live assets, indicating that the carrying amounts of real estate assets may not be recoverable and (2) the Partnership’s evaluation of cash flow estimates used both for determining recoverability and estimating fair value to determine impairment requires significant estimates and assumptions related to net operating income, occupancy, capitalization, and discount rates, performing procedures to (a) evaluate whether impairment indicators were appropriately identified and (b) the reasonableness of the cash flow estimates used for determining recoverability and estimating fair value required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our fair value specialists.

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

Our audit procedures related to the Partnership’s impairment analyses included the following, among others:

• Inquired of Partnership personnel and read minutes of the executive committee and board of directors’ meetings to identify any indicators that a long-lived asset will be sold or otherwise disposed of significantly before the end of its previously estimated useful life.

• Obtained the Partnership’s summary and plan for long-lived assets with near-term debt maturities and evaluated such plans to identify long-lived assets with a more-likely-than-not probability of being conveyed to the lender.

• Evaluated whether long-lived assets with significant declines in net operating income might indicate a significant decrease in the market value of the long-lived asset.

• Where applicable, we evaluated the Partnership’s probability weighting of operating cash flow projections reflecting the outcome of different uses or disposition scenarios for the long-lived asset.

• With the assistance of our internal fair value specialists, we evaluated the reasonableness of selected terminal capitalization rates and discount rates based on external market data surveys, while also considering the significant quantitative and qualitative factors specific to the property that would impact the selected data point within the range.

• We evaluated the reasonableness of the operating cash flow projections by comparing to the Partnership’s historical results and considered the impact of leasing activity and rent concessions.

96

Tenant Receivables- Collectability — Refer to Note 3 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Accounts Receivable) to the financial statements

Critical Audit Matter Description

The duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on a tenants’ ability to pay rents has caused uncertainty in the Partnership’s ongoing ability to collect rents when due. Considering the potential impact of these uncertainties, the Partnership performs a detailed review of amounts due from tenants to determine whether tenant receivables and straight-line rent receivables balances are realizable based on factors affecting the collectability of those balances, such as type of retailer, billing disputes, lease negotiation status, executed deferrals or abatements, as well as recent rent collection experience and tenant bankruptcies. The Partnership recognizes an allowance for the uncollectible portion of its tenant receivables and the uncollectible portion of its straight-line rent receivables as a reduction of rental revenues. If a lessee’s accounts receivable balance is not considered probable of collection, the Partnership writes off the full accounts receivable balance and straight-line rent receivable balance associated with the lease. If future lease income is not considered probable of collection, the Partnership recognizes lease income on a cash basis.  

Given the significant judgment involved in assessing whether it is probable that a tenant will pay outstanding receivables and whether it is probable that substantially all future lease payments will be collected in accordance with the lease terms, auditing management’s evaluation of collectability of tenant receivables required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort. In particular, the assessment of collectability involves making significant judgments regarding the tenant’s financial condition based on information regarding type of retailer, billing disputes, lease negotiation status, executed deferrals or abatements, as well as recent rent collection experience and tenant bankruptcies.

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

Our audit procedures related to the collectability of tenant receivables included the following, among others:

• We tested the effectiveness of controls over the collectability of tenant receivables

• We inquired of Partnership personnel, including those from the accounts receivable collections department, leasing department, and operations, to obtain an understanding of the most recent tenant correspondence, payment history, and status of lease modification negotiations including rent deferrals or abatements

• We inspected tenant records, tenant correspondence, and executed lease modification agreements to corroborate our inquiries and to determine whether management’s assumptions regarding tenant specific collection losses were appropriate.

• We evaluated the impact of activity subsequent to the balance sheet date on the Partnership’s estimates of the collectability of tenant receivables.

• Read minutes of executive committee and board of directors’ meetings and independently considered whether tenant receivables and straight-line rent receivable for those tenants which have filed for bankruptcy were appropriately reserved for in accordance with management’s policy.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Debtors-In-Possession)

(In thousands, except share and unit data)

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION

CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. ("CBL"), a Delaware corporation, is a self-managed, self-administered, fully-integrated real estate investment trust ("REIT") that is engaged in the ownership, development, acquisition, leasing, management and operation of regional shopping malls, open-air and mixed-use centers, outlet centers, associated centers, community centers, office buildings and other properties. Its Properties are located in 24 states, but are primarily in the southeastern and midwestern United States.

CBL conducts substantially all of its business through CBL & Associates Limited Partnership (the "Operating Partnership"), which is a variable interest entity ("VIE"). The Operating Partnership consolidates the financial statements of all entities in which it has a controlling financial interest or where it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. As of December 31, 2020, the Operating Partnership owned interests in the following Properties:

			All Other Properties
	Malls (1)		Associated Centers		Community Centers		Office Buildings and Other			Total
Consolidated Properties		51		20		1		4	(2)		76
Unconsolidated Properties (3)		10		3		5		4			22
Total		61		23		6		8			98

(1) Category consists of regional malls, open-air centers and outlet centers (including one mixed-use center) (the "Malls").

(2) Includes CBL's two corporate office buildings.

(3) The Operating Partnership accounts for these investments using the equity method because one or more of the other partners have substantive participating rights.

The Malls, All Other Properties ("Associated Centers, Community Centers, Office Buildings and Other") and the Construction Properties are collectively referred to as the “Properties” and individually as a “Property.”

CBL is the 100% owner of two qualified REIT subsidiaries, CBL Holdings I, Inc. and CBL Holdings II, Inc. At December 31, 2020, CBL Holdings I, Inc., the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, owned a 1.0% general partner interest in the Operating Partnership and CBL Holdings II, Inc. owned a 96.5% limited partner interest for a combined interest held by CBL of 97.5%.

Historically, the noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership has been held by CBL & Associates, Inc., its shareholders and affiliates and certain senior officers of the Company (collectively "CBL's Predecessor"), all of which contributed their interests in certain real estate properties and joint ventures to the Operating Partnership in exchange for a limited partner interest when the Operating Partnership was formed in November 1993, and by various third parties. During 2020, the Company issued 20,956,110 shares of the Company’s common stock to 31 holders of 20,956,110 common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership in connection with the exercise of the holders’ contractual exchange rights. At December 31, 2020, CBL’s Predecessor no longer owned any limited partner interest and third parties owned a 2.5% limited partner interest in the Operating Partnership. CBL's Predecessor owned 20.1 million shares of CBL’s common stock at December 31, 2020, for an interest of 10.2% in the Operating Partnership.

As used herein, the term "Company" includes CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including CBL & Associates Limited Partnership and its subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise. The term "Operating Partnership" refers to CBL & Associates Limited Partnership and its subsidiaries.

The Operating Partnership conducts the Company's property management and development activities through its wholly owned subsidiary, CBL & Associates Management, Inc. (the “Management Company"), to comply with certain requirements of the Internal Revenue Code.

Bankruptcy Accounting

The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared as if the Company were a going concern and in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic No. 852 – Reorganizations (“ASC 852”). See Note 2 for additional details regarding the bankruptcy. As a result, the Company has segregated prepetition unsecured or under secured liabilities and obligations whose treatment and

104

satisfaction are dependent on the outcome of the Chapter 11 proceedings and have classified these items as “Liabilities subject to compromise” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. In addition, the Company has classified all expenses that were incurred as a result of the Chapter 11 proceedings since filing as “Reorganization items” in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. In addition to expenses, reorganization items can include realized gains or losses, such as the unamortized deferred financing costs and debt discount charges. Also, the Company has classified all expenses that were realized or incurred prior to November 1, 2020 in relation to the Company’s efforts to restructure its corporate-level debt as “Prepetition charges” in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and likely will continue to have, repercussions across local, national and global economies and financial markets. COVID-19 has impacted all states where the Company’s tenants operate their businesses or where the Company’s properties are located and measures taken to prevent or remediate COVID-19, including “shelter-in place” or “stay-at-home” orders or other quarantine mandates issued by local, state or federal authorities, have had an adverse effect on its business and the businesses of its tenants. The full extent of the adverse impact on, among other things, the Company’s results of operations, liquidity (including its ability to access capital markets), the possibility of future impairments of long-lived assets or its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, its compliance with debt covenants, its ability to renew and re-lease its leased space, the outlook for the retail environment, potential bankruptcies or other store closings and its ability to develop, acquire, dispose or lease properties, is unknown and will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. State and local governments and other authorities are in varying stages of lifting or modifying some of the measures used to mitigate or control the spread of the virus. Even though vaccines have started to be administered, the COVID-19 pandemic could worsen at any time, which could cause new or more restrictive measures to be implemented to prevent the spread of the virus. Tenants and customers have gradually adapted to current conditions with services such as curbside pickup and increased consumer risk-tolerance, but there is no guarantee that retail will return to levels seen prior to the pandemic. The Company has experienced, and expects to continue to experience, a material adverse impact on its revenues, results of operations, and cash flows into 2021. The situation is rapidly changing and additional impacts to the business may arise that the Company is not aware of currently.

NOTE 2. CHAPTER 11 CASES AND ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN

Voluntary Reorganization under Chapter 11

On August 18, 2020, the Company entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement, (the “Original RSA”) with certain beneficial owners and/or investment advisors or managers of discretionary funds, accounts or other entities for the holders of beneficial owners (the “Consenting Noteholders”) representing in excess of 62%, including joining noteholders pursuant to joinder agreements, of the aggregate principal amount of the $450,000 of senior unsecured notes issued by the Operating Partnership in November 2013 that bear interest at 5.25% and mature on December 1, 2023 (the “2023 Notes”), the $300,000 of senior unsecured notes issued by the Operating Partnership in October 2014 that bear interest at 4.60% and mature on October 15, 2024 (the “2024 Notes”) and the $625,000 of senior unsecured notes issued by the Operating Partnership in December 2016 and September 2017 that bear interest at 5.95% and mature on December 15, 2026 (the “2026 Notes” and, collectively with the 2023 Notes and 2024 Notes, the "Notes").

On October 28, 2020, the Operating Partnership was notified by the administrative agent and lenders that they elected to exercise their rights pursuant to the terms of the secured credit facility to (i) require that rents payable by tenants at the properties that are collateral to the secured credit facility be paid directly to the administrative agent and (ii) exercise all voting rights and other ownership rights in respect of all the equity interests in the subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership that are guarantors of the secured credit facility.

Beginning on November 1, 2020 (the “Commencement Date”), CBL and the Operating Partnership, together with certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”), filed voluntary petitions (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) under chapter 11 of title 11 (“Chapter 11”) of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Debtors are authorized to continue to operate their businesses and manage their properties as debtors-in-possession pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors’ Chapter 11 Cases are being jointly administered for procedural purposes only under the caption In re CBL & Associates Properties, Inc., et al., Case No. 20-35226. 

The filing of the Chapter 11 Cases constituted an event of default that results in the automatic acceleration of certain monetary obligations to be immediately due and payable with respect to the secured credit facility and the senior unsecured notes. On November 2, 2020, the Company filed an adversary proceeding in the Bankruptcy Court seeking among other

105

things, a temporary restraining order (the “Order”) and for a preliminary injunction to enjoin, pending a determination of the parties’ rights, the administrative agent or any of its officers, agents, servants, attorneys and successors from taking any action to exercise any and all remedies under the terms of the secured credit facility or other agreements as a result of the events of default asserted by the administrative agent, or any other right or remedy that would otherwise accompany the occurrence of an event of default, including without limitation, any rights of acceleration under the terms of the secured credit facility, rights flowing from the notice of acceleration, rights exercised pursuant to the Notice of Exercise or any other rights or remedies properly exercisable solely upon an actual or determined event of default. On November 2, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court granted the Order, and the Bankruptcy Court took up the other pending claims during the adversarial proceeding, which has now been stayed pending the confirmation of the Company’s plan, discussed below.

Following the Commencement Date, the Bankruptcy Court entered certain interim and final orders facilitating the Debtors’ operational transition into Chapter 11. These orders authorized the Debtors to, among other things, pay certain prepetition employee expenses and benefits, use their existing cash management system, maintain and administer customer programs, pay certain critical service providers, honor insurance-related obligations, and pay certain prepetition taxes and related fees on a final basis.

After engaging in negotiations in a Bankruptcy Court-ordered mediation, on March 21, 2021 (the “Agreement Effective Date”), the Company entered into the First Amended and Restated Restructuring Support Agreement (the “Amended RSA”), with the Consenting Noteholders in excess of 69% (including joinders) of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes and certain lenders party to the Company’s secured credit facility who hold in the aggregate in excess of 96% (including joinders) of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of debt under the secured credit facility (the “Consenting Bank Lenders” and together with the Consenting Noteholders, the “Consenting Stakeholders”). The Amended RSA amends and restates the Original RSA and sets forth, subject to certain conditions, the commitments to and obligations of, on the one hand, the Company, and on the other hand, the Consenting Noteholders and Consenting Bank Lenders, in connection with the restructuring transactions (the “Restructuring Transactions”) set forth in the Amended RSA and the plan term sheet attached as Exhibit B to the Amended RSA (the “Plan Term Sheet”). The Amended RSA contemplates that the restructuring and recapitalization of the Debtors will occur through a joint plan of reorganization in the Chapter 11 Cases (the “Amended Plan”).

The Amended RSA requires that the Company file the Amended Plan and related disclosure statement no later than 25 days following the Agreement Effective Date and under the Amended RSA the Company must seek to have the Amended Plan confirmed and declared effective no later than November 1, 2021. Before a Bankruptcy Court will confirm the Amended Plan, the Bankruptcy Code requires at least one “impaired” class of claims votes to accept the Amended Plan. A class of claims votes to “accept” the Amended Plan if voting creditors that hold a majority in number and two-thirds in amount of claims in that class approve the Amended Plan. The Amended RSA requires the Consenting Stakeholders vote in favor of and support the Amended Plan. As of the date hereof, the Consenting Bank Lenders and Consenting Noteholders each represent the requisite amount of claims necessary to accept the Amended Plan in each of their respective classes. For the foregoing reasons, among others, the Debtors believe that they will be able to confirm the Amended Plan in the Chapter 11 Cases. The Amended RSA provides that the ongoing litigation between the Company and the lenders of the Company’s secured credit facility (the “Bank Lenders”) arising from the prepetition enforcement actions taken by the Bank Lenders is stayed and is to be dismissed upon the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of the Amended Plan.

Under the Amended RSA, the proposed Amended Plan will provide for the elimination of more than $1,681,900 of debt and preferred obligations as well as a significant reduction in interest expense. In exchange for their approximately $1,375,000 in principal amount of senior unsecured notes and $133,000 in principal amount of the secured credit facility, Consenting Noteholders and other noteholders will receive, in the aggregate, $95,000 in cash, $555,000 of new senior secured notes, of which up to $100,000, upon election by the Consenting Noteholders, may be received in the form of new convertible secured notes and 89% in common equity of the newly reorganized Company. Certain Consenting Noteholders will also provide up to $50,000 of new money in exchange for additional convertible secured notes. The transactions outlined in the Amended RSA will be implemented in the Chapter 11 Cases and pursuant to the Amended Plan. The Amended RSA provides that the remaining Bank Lenders, holding $983,700 in principal amount under the secured credit facility, will receive $100,000 in cash and a new $883,700 secured term loan. Existing common and preferred stakeholders are expected to receive up to 11% of common equity in the newly reorganized company. The Amended RSA is subject to Bankruptcy Court approval, which the Company will seek in accordance with the terms of the Amended RSA.

The Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome of its Chapter 11 Cases at this time. For the duration of the Company’s Chapter 11 proceedings, the Company’s operations and ability to develop and execute its business plan are subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with the Chapter 11 process. As a result of these risks and uncertainties, the amount and composition of the Company’s assets, liabilities, officers and/or directors could be significantly different following the outcome of the Chapter 11 proceedings, and the description of the Company’s operations, properties and

106

liquidity and capital resources included in this annual report may not accurately reflect its operations, properties and liquidity and capital resources following the Chapter 11 process.

In particular, subject to certain exceptions, under the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors may assume, assume and assign or reject executory contracts and unexpired leases subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court and certain other conditions. Generally, the rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease is treated as a prepetition breach of such executory contract or unexpired lease and, subject to certain exceptions, relieves the Debtors of performing their future obligations under such executory contract or unexpired lease but entitles the contract counterparty or lessor to a prepetition general unsecured claim for damages caused by such deemed breach subject, in the case of the rejection of unexpired leases of real property, to certain caps on damages. Counterparties to such rejected contracts or leases may assert unsecured claims in the Bankruptcy Court against the applicable Debtor’s estate for such damages. Generally, the assumption or assumption and assignment of an executory contract or unexpired lease requires the Debtors to cure existing monetary defaults under such executory contract or unexpired lease and provide adequate assurance of future performance thereunder. Accordingly, any description of an executory contract or unexpired lease with the Debtors in this annual report, including where applicable a quantification of the Company’s obligations under any such executory contract or unexpired lease with the Debtors is qualified by any overriding rights the Company has under the Bankruptcy Code. Further, nothing herein is or shall be deemed an admission with respect to any claim amounts or calculations arising from the assumption, assumption and assignment or rejection of any executory contract or unexpired lease and the Debtors expressly preserve all of their rights with respect thereto.

Liquidity and Going Concern Considerations

In accordance with the accounting guidance related to the presentation of financial statements, when preparing financial statements for each annual and interim reporting period, management evaluates whether there are conditions or events that, when considered in the aggregate, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. In making its assessment, management considered the Company’s current financial condition and liquidity sources, as well as the status of the Chapter 11 Cases.

The filing of the Chapter 11 Cases by the Debtors constituted an event of default that results in the automatic acceleration of certain monetary obligations to be immediately due and payable with respect to the secured credit facility and the senior unsecured notes. The filing of the Chapter 11 Cases also constituted an event of default with respect to certain property-level debt of the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries, which may result in acceleration of the outstanding principal and other sums due. See Note 8 and Note 9 for further discussion.

Given the acceleration of the secured credit facility, the senior unsecured notes and certain property-level debt, as well as the inherent risks, unknown results and inherent uncertainties associated with the bankruptcy process and the direct correlation between these matters and the Company’s ability to satisfy its financial obligations that may arise, the Company believes that there is substantial doubt that it will continue to operate as a going concern within one year after the date these consolidated financial statements are issued. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon its ability to successfully implement the Amended Plan set forth in the Amended RSA, which is pending approval of the Bankruptcy Court. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments related to the recoverability of assets and satisfaction of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Delisting of Common Stock and Depositary Shares

On November 2, 2020, the NYSE announced that (i) it had suspended trading in the Company’s stock and (ii) it had determined to commence proceedings to delist the Company’s common stock, as well as the depositary shares each representing a 1/10th fractional share of the Company’s 7.375% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Series D Preferred Stock”) and the depositary shares each representing a 1/10th fractional share of the Company’s 6.625% Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Series E Preferred Stock”), due to such securities no longer being suitable for listing based on “abnormally low” trading price levels, pursuant to Section 802.01D of the NYSE Listed Company Manual. The Company has appealed this decision in accordance with NYSE rules, and the appeal is still in process. In the meantime, effective November 3, 2020, the Company’s common stock and the depositary shares representing fractional interests in its Series D Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock began trading on the OTC Markets, operated by the OTC Markets Group, Inc., under the symbols “CBLAQ”, “CBLDQ” and “CBLEQ”, respectively. A delisting of the Company’s common stock from the NYSE could negatively impact it by, among other things, reducing the trading liquidity of, and the market price for, its common stock.

Prepetition Charges

Expenses that were realized or incurred prior to November 1, 2020 in relation to the Company’s efforts to restructure its corporate-level debt are recorded in the line item “Prepetition charges” in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The $23,883 of prepetition charges primarily consists of professional fees.

Reorganization Items

Any expenses, gains and losses that are realized or incurred as of or subsequent to November 1, 2020, the petition date, and as a direct result of the Chapter 11 Cases, are recorded in the line item “Reorganization items” in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The $35,977 of reorganization items consists of $10,347 in professional fees, $25,294 of unamortized deferred financing costs and debt discounts related to the secured credit facility and the senior unsecured notes, as well as $336 of U.S. Trustee fees.

Liabilities Subject to Compromise

The Company has reclassified $2,551,490 to the line item “Liabilities subject to compromise” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. These liabilities are reported at the amounts expected to be allowed as claims by the Bankruptcy Court, although they may be settled for less. As of December 31, 2020, the liabilities subject to compromise consisted of $1,375,000 related to the senior unsecured notes, $675,926 related to the secured line of credit, $438,750 related to the secured term loan, $57,644 in unpaid accrued interest as of the Commencement Date and $4,170 of prepetition unsecured or under secured liabilities.

The contractual interest expense on the senior unsecured notes and secured credit facility is in excess of recorded interest expense by $30,084 for the year ended December 31, 2020. This excess contractual interest expense is not included as interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 because the Company discontinued accruing interest on the senior unsecured notes and the secured credit facility subsequent to the Commencement Date in accordance with ASC 852, which limits the recognition of interest expense during a bankruptcy proceeding to only amounts that will be paid during the bankruptcy proceeding or that are probable of becoming allowed claims. The Company has not made any interest payments on its senior unsecured notes or its secured credit facility since the Chapter 11 Cases commenced on November 1, 2020.

NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

This Form 10-K provides separate consolidated financial statements for the Company and the Operating Partnership. Due to the Company's ability as general partner to control the Operating Partnership, the Company consolidates the Operating Partnership within its consolidated financial statements for financial reporting purposes. The notes to consolidated financial statements apply to both the Company and the Operating Partnership, unless specifically noted otherwise.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of the Company, the Operating Partnership and their wholly owned subsidiaries, as well as entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest or entities where the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE. For entities in which the Company has less than a controlling financial interest or entities where the Company is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE, the entities are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, the Company's share of the net earnings or losses of these entities is included in consolidated net income (loss). The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

Accounting Guidance Adopted    

Description	Expected Adoption Date & Application Method	Financial Statement Effect and Other Information
Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments	January 1, 2020 - Modified Retrospective	The guidance replaced the current incurred loss impairment model, which reflects credit events, with a current expected credit loss model, which recognizes an allowance for credit losses based on an entity’s estimate of contractual cash flows not expected to be collected. The Company has determined that its available-for-sale debt securities, guarantees, mortgage and other notes receivable and receivables within the scope of ASC 606 fall under the scope of this standard. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or disclosures.
ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement	January 1, 2020 - Prospective	The guidance eliminates, adds and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. Entities no longer are required to disclose the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy, but public companies are required to disclose the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or disclosures.
ASU 2018-15, Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract	January 1, 2020 - Prospective	The guidance addresses diversity in practice in accounting for the costs of implementation activities in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract. Under the guidance, the Company is to follow Subtopic 350-40 on internal-use software to determine which implementation costs to capitalize and which to expense. The guidance also requires an entity to expense capitalized implementation costs over the term of the hosting arrangement and include that expense in the same line item as the fees associated with the service element of the arrangement. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

Lease Modification Q&A	April 1, 2020 – Prospective	In April 2020, the FASB issued a question-and-answer document (the “Lease Modification Q&A”) focused on the application of lease accounting guidance related to lease concessions provided as a result of COVID-19. Under existing lease guidance, the Company would have to determine, on a lease by lease basis, if a lease concession was the result of a new arrangement reached with the tenant (treated within the lease modification accounting framework) or if a lease concession was under the enforceable rights and obligations within the existing lease agreement (precluded from applying the lease modification accounting framework). The Lease Modification Q&A clarifies that entities may elect to not evaluate whether lease-related relief that lessors provide to mitigate the economic effects of COVID-19 on lessees is a lease modification under Topic 842, Leases. Instead, an entity that elects not to evaluate whether a concession directly related to COVID-19 is a modification can then elect whether to apply the modification guidance (i.e. assume the relief was always contemplated by the contract or assume the relief was not contemplated by the contract). Both lessees and lessors may make this election. The Company has elected to apply the relief provided under the Lease Modification Q&A and will avail itself of the election to avoid performing a lease by lease analysis for the lease concessions that were (1) granted as relief due to the COVID-19 pandemic and (2) result in the cash flows remaining substantially the same or less than the original contract. The Lease Modification Q&A had a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020. However, its future impact to the Company is dependent upon the extent of lease concessions granted to tenants as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in future periods and the elections made by the Company at the time of entering such concessions. The Lease Modification Q&A allows the Company to determine accounting policy elections at a disaggregated level, and the elections should be applied consistently by either the type of concession, underlying asset class or on another reasonable basis. As a result, the Company has made the following policy elections based on the type of concession agreed to with the respective tenant. Rent Deferrals The Company will account for rental deferrals using the receivables model as described within the Lease Modification Q&A. Under the receivables model, the Company will continue to recognize lease revenue in a manner that is unchanged from the original lease agreement and continue to recognize lease receivables and rental revenue during the deferral period. Rent Abatements The Company will account for rental abatements using the negative variable income model as described within the Lease Modification Q&A. Under the negative variable income model, the Company will recognize negative variable rent for the current period reduction of rental revenue associated with any lease concessions it provides.
		At December 31, 2020, the Company’s receivables included $18,526 related to receivables that had been deferred and are to be repaid generally throughout 2021, and extending for a portion of 2022. The Company granted abatements of $25,439 during the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company continues to assess rent relief requests from its tenants but is unable to predict the resolution or impact of these discussions. For agreements that are currently under negotiation, the Company does not expect the impact to be material.
Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted
Description		Financial Statement Effect and Other Information
ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform		On March 12, 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) - Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or other reference rates expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. This ASU is effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company has not adopted any of the optional expedients or exceptions as of December 31, 2020, but will continue to evaluate the possible adoption of any such expedients or exceptions during the effective period to determine the impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Real Estate Assets  

The Company capitalizes predevelopment project costs paid to third parties. All previously capitalized predevelopment costs are expensed when it is no longer probable that the project will be completed. Once development of a project commences, all direct costs incurred to construct the project, including interest and real estate taxes, are capitalized. Additionally, certain general and administrative expenses are allocated to the projects and capitalized based on the amount of time applicable personnel work on the development project. Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Major replacements and improvements are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives.

All acquired real estate assets have been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting and accordingly, the results of operations are included in the consolidated statements of operations from the respective dates of acquisition. The Company allocates the purchase price to (i) tangible assets, consisting of land, buildings and improvements, as if vacant, and tenant improvements, and (ii) identifiable intangible assets and liabilities, generally consisting of above-market leases, in-place leases and tenant relationships, which are included in intangible lease assets and other assets, and below-market leases, which are included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The Company uses estimates of fair value based on estimated cash flows, using appropriate discount rates, and other valuation techniques to allocate the purchase price to the acquired tangible and intangible assets. Liabilities assumed generally consist of mortgage debt on the real estate assets acquired. Assumed debt is recorded at its fair value based on estimated market interest rates at the date of acquisition. The Company expects its future acquisitions will be accounted for as acquisitions of assets in which related transaction costs will be capitalized.

Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over estimated lives of 40 years for buildings, 10 to 20 years for certain improvements and 7 to 10 years for equipment and fixtures. Tenant improvements are capitalized and depreciated on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease. Lease-related intangibles from acquisitions of real estate assets are generally amortized over the remaining terms of the related leases. The amortization of above- and below-market leases is recorded as an adjustment to rental revenue, while the amortization of all other lease-related intangibles is recorded as

112

amortization expense. Any difference between the face value of the debt assumed and its fair value is amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the debt using the effective interest method.

The Company’s intangibles and their balance sheet classifications as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, are summarized as follows:

	December 31, 2020					December 31, 2019
	Cost		Accumulated Amortization			Cost		Accumulated Amortization
Intangible lease assets and other assets:
Above-market leases	$	18,416	$	(16,395	)	$	21,098	$	(18,559	)
In-place leases		59,472		(53,790	)		66,309		(58,559	)
Tenant relationships		34,630		(7,909	)		38,880		(10,834	)
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities:
Below-market leases		42,274		(36,224	)		46,554		(38,052	)

These intangibles are related to specific tenant leases. Should a termination occur earlier than the date indicated in the lease, the related unamortized intangible assets or liabilities, if any, related to the lease are recorded as expense or income, as applicable. The total net amortization expense of the above intangibles was $1,460, $4,506 and $13,282 in 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The estimated total net amortization expense for the next five succeeding years is $1,326 in 2021, $1,071 in 2022, $872 in 2023, $854 in 2024 and $817 in 2025.

Total interest expense capitalized was $1,640, $2,504 and $3,225 in 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Accounts Receivable

Receivables include amounts billed and currently due from tenants pursuant to lease agreements and receivables attributable to straight-line rents associated with those lease agreements. Individual leases where the collection of rents is in dispute are assessed for collectability based on management’s best estimate of collection considering the anticipated outcome of the dispute. Individual leases that are not in dispute are assessed for collectability and upon the determination that the collection of rents over the remaining lease term is not probable, accounts receivable are reduced as an adjustment to rental revenues. Revenue from leases where collection is deemed to be less than probable is recorded on a cash basis until collectability is determined to be probable. Further, management assesses whether operating lease receivables, at a portfolio level, are appropriately valued based upon an analysis of balances outstanding, historical collection levels and current economic trends. An allowance for the uncollectable portion of the portfolio is recorded as an adjustment to rental revenues. Management’s estimate of the collectability of accounts receivable from tenants is based on the best information available to management at the time of evaluation.

The duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the Company’s tenants’ ability to pay rents has caused uncertainty in the Company’s ongoing ability to collect rents when due. Considering the potential impact of these uncertainties, management’s collection assessment also took into consideration the type of retailer, billing disputes, lease negotiation status and executed deferral or abatement agreements, as well as recent rent collection experience and tenant bankruptcies based on the best information available to management at the time of evaluation. For the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded $48,240 and $3,463, respectively, associated with uncollectable revenues, which includes $5,603 for straight line rent receivables for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Carrying Value of Long-Lived Assets  

The Company evaluates its real estate assets for impairment indicators whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of any of its long-lived assets may not be recoverable. Furthermore, this evaluation is conducted no less frequently than quarterly, irrespective of changes in circumstances. The prolonged outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in sustained closure of the Company’s properties for a period of time, as well as the cessation of the operations of certain of its tenants, which has resulted and will likely continue to result in a reduction in the revenues and cash flows of many of its properties due to the adverse financial impacts on its tenants, as well as reductions in other sources of income generated by its properties. In addition to reduced revenues, the Company’s ability to obtain sufficient financing for such properties may be impaired as well as its ability to lease or re-lease properties as a result of worsening market and economic conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company’s evaluation of impairment of real estate assets considered its estimate of cash flow declines caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, but its other assumptions, including estimated hold period, were generally unchanged given the highly uncertain environment. The worsening of estimated future cash flows due to a change in the Company’s plans, policies, or views of market and economic conditions as it relates to one or more of its properties adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic could result in the recognition of substantial impairment charges on its assets, which could adversely impact its financial results. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded impairment charges of $213,358 related to six of its malls. As of December 31, 2020, seven other properties had impairment indicators; however, based on the Company’s plans with respect to those properties and the economic environment as of December 31, 2020, no additional impairment charges were recorded.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less as cash equivalents.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash of $59,941 and $26,242 was included in intangible lease assets and other assets at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The $59,941 in restricted cash at December 31, 2020 related to cash held in escrow accounts for insurance, real estate taxes, capital expenditures and tenant allowances as required by the terms of

114

certain mortgage notes payable, as well as amounts related to cash management agreements with the Company’s lenders that are designated for debt service and operating expense obligations. 

Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates

The Company evaluates its joint venture arrangements to determine whether they should be recorded on a consolidated basis. The percentage of ownership interest in the joint venture, an evaluation of control and whether a VIE exists are all considered in the Company’s consolidation assessment.

Initial investments in joint ventures that are in economic substance a capital contribution to the joint venture are recorded in an amount equal to the cash contributed by the Company and the fair value of any real estate contributed. Initial investments in joint ventures that are in economic substance the sale of a portion of the Company’s interest in the real estate are accounted for as a contribution of real estate recorded in an amount equal to the fair value of the ownership interest retained and as a sale of real estate with profit recognized to the extent of the other joint venture partners’ interests in the joint venture. Profit recognition assumes the Company has no commitment to reinvest with respect to the percentage of the real estate sold and the accounting requirements of the full accrual method are met.

The Company accounts for its investment in joint ventures where it owns a noncontrolling interest or where it is not the primary beneficiary of a VIE using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, the Company’s cost of investment is adjusted for additional contributions to and distributions from the unconsolidated affiliate, as well as its share of equity in the earnings of the unconsolidated affiliate. Generally, distributions of cash flows from operations and capital events are first made to partners to pay cumulative unpaid preferences on unreturned capital balances and then to the partners in accordance with the terms of the joint venture agreements.

The Company evaluates its investment in unconsolidated affiliates for impairment indicators whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of its investment may not be recoverable. The Company’s evaluation of whether an investment in an unconsolidated affiliate has incurred a loss in value that is other than temporary includes an assessment of the expected return generated from the property or properties held within the investment, and the Company’s intent and ability to retain the investment for a period of time to allow for full recovery. Furthermore, this evaluation is conducted no less frequently than quarterly, irrespective of changes in circumstances. The prolonged outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in sustained closure of the Company’s properties for a period of time, as well as the cessation of the operations of certain of its tenants, which has resulted and will likely continue to result in a reduction in the revenues and cash flows of many of its properties due to the adverse financial impacts on its tenants, as well as reductions in other sources of income generated by its properties. In addition to reduced revenues, the Company’s ability to obtain sufficient financing for such properties may be impaired as well as its ability to lease or re-lease properties as a result of worsening market and economic conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, no impairment charges were recorded. In 2018, the Company recorded an impairment of $1,022 as its share of the loss on impairment recognized by an unconsolidated joint venture. The Company recorded a gain on deconsolidation of investments of $67,242 in 2019. See Note 8 for additional information.

Deferred Financing Costs

During 2020, as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases, unamortized financing costs of $16,779 related to the Company's secured credit facility and senior unsecured notes were charged to expense and were recorded as “Reorganization items” within the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Unamortized financing costs related to the secured line of credit of $9,062 were included in intangible lease assets and other assets at December 31, 2019. Unamortized financing costs of $3,433 and $16,148 were included in net mortgage and other indebtedness at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Deferred financing costs include fees and costs incurred to obtain financing and are amortized on a straight-line basis to interest expense over the terms of the related indebtedness. Amortization expense related to deferred financing costs was $5,476, $7,000 and $6,120 in 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Accumulated amortization of deferred financing costs was $7,354 and $17,175 as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

See Note 4 for a description of the Company's revenue streams.

Gain on Sales of Real Estate Assets

Gains on the sale of real estate assets, like all non-lease related revenue, are subject to a five-step model requiring that the Company identify the contract with the customer, identify the performance obligations in the contract, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and recognize revenue upon

115

satisfaction of the performance obligations. In circumstances where the Company contracts to sell a property with material post-sale involvement, such involvement must be accounted for as a separate performance obligation in the contract and a portion of the sales price allocated to each performance obligation. When the post-sale involvement performance obligation is satisfied, the portion of the sales price allocated to it will be recognized as gain on sale of real estate assets. Property dispositions with no continuing involvement will continue to be recognized upon closing of the sale.

Income Taxes

The Company is qualified as a REIT under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. To maintain qualification as a REIT, the Company is required to distribute at least 90% of its taxable income to shareholders and meet certain other requirements.

As a REIT, the Company is generally not liable for federal corporate income taxes. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to federal and state income taxes on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates. Even if the Company maintains its qualification as a REIT, the Company may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property, and to federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income. State tax expense was $2,882, $3,682 and $4,147 during 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

The Company has also elected taxable REIT subsidiary status for some of its subsidiaries. This enables the Company to receive income and provide services that would otherwise be impermissible for REITs. For these entities, deferred tax assets and liabilities are established for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities at the enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is provided if the Company believes all or some portion of the deferred tax asset may not be realized. An increase or decrease in the valuation allowance that results from the change in circumstances that causes a change in the Company’s judgment about the realizability of the related deferred tax asset is included in income or expense, as applicable.

The Company recorded an income tax benefit (provision) as follows for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018:

	Year Ended December 31,
	2020			2019			2018
Current tax provision	$	(2,278	)	$	(485	)	$	(1,354	)
Deferred tax benefit (provision)		(14,558	)		(2,668	)		2,905
Income tax benefit (provision)	$	(16,836	)	$	(3,153	)	$	1,551

In 2020, the Company recorded a full deferred tax asset valuation allowance of $16,206, which left a balance of zero as a net deferred tax asset at December 31, 2020. The Company had a net deferred tax asset of $15,117 at December 31, 2019. In 2018, the Company recorded a cumulative effect adjustment in the amount of $11,433 related to the January 1, 2018 adoption of ASU 2016-16. The net deferred tax asset at December 31, 2019 is included in intangible lease assets and other assets. These deferred tax balances primarily consist of differences between book and tax related to the basis of real estate assets, depreciation expense and operating expenses, as well as net operating loss carryforwards. As of December 31, 2020, tax years that generally remain subject to examination by the Company’s major tax jurisdictions include 2020, 2019, 2018 and 2017.

The Company reports any income tax penalties attributable to its properties as property operating expenses and any corporate-related income tax penalties as general and administrative expenses in its consolidated statements of operations. In addition, any interest incurred on tax assessments is reported as interest expense. The Company incurred nominal interest and penalty amounts in 2020, 2019 and 2018.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company’s tenants include national, regional and local retailers. Financial instruments that subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of tenant receivables. The Company generally does not obtain collateral or other security to support financial instruments subject to credit risk, but monitors the credit standing of tenants. The Company derives a substantial portion of its rental income from various national and regional retail companies; however, no single tenant collectively accounted for more than 4.5% of the Company’s total consolidated revenues in 2020.

Earnings per Share and Earnings per Unit

Earnings per Share of the Company

Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS assumes the issuance of common stock for all potential dilutive common shares outstanding. The limited partners’ rights to convert their noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership into shares of common stock are not dilutive.

Performance stock units ("PSUs") are contingently issuable common shares and are included in earnings per share if the effect is dilutive. See Note 18 for a description of the long-term incentive program that these units relate to. There were no potential dilutive common shares and no anti-dilutive shares for the year ended December 31, 2020. The effect of 102,820 contingently issuable common shares related to PSUs for the year ended December 31, 2018 were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.      

Earnings per Unit of the Operating Partnership

Basic earnings per unit (“EPU”) is computed using the two-class method. The two-class method is required when either (i) participating securities or (ii) multiple classes of common stock exists. The Operating Partnership’s special common units, and common units issued upon the conversion or redemption of special common units, meet the definition of participating securities as these units have the contractual right and obligation to share in the Operating Partnership’s net income (loss) and distributions. Under this approach net income (loss) attributable to common unitholders is reduced by the amount of distributions made (declared) to all common unitholders and by the amount of distributions that are required to be made (declared and undeclared) to special common unitholders. Distributed and undistributed earnings is subsequently divided by the weighted-average number of common and special common units outstanding for the period to compute basic EPU for each unit. Undistributed losses are allocated 100 percent to common units, other than common units issued upon the conversion or redemption of special common units. The special common units, and common units issued upon the conversion or redemption of special common units, only participate in undistributed losses in the event of a liquidation. Diluted EPU is computed by considering either the two-class method or the if-converted method, whichever results in more dilution. The if-converted method assumes the issuance of common units for all potential dilutive special common units outstanding. Due to the loss position (negative earnings) of the Operating Partnership for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 all special common units, and common units issued upon the conversion or redemption of special common units, are antidilutive. The calculation of diluted EPU through the if-converted method would reduce the loss per share (as a result of an increase number of shares in the denominator) for the common units. Therefore in a loss position diluted EPU is equal to basic EPU. There were no potential dilutive common units and there were no anti-dilutive units other than the special common units, and common units issued upon the conversion or redemption of special common units, outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Operating expense reimbursements

Under operating and other agreements with third parties, which own anchor or outparcel buildings at the Company's properties and pay no rent, the Company receives reimbursements for certain operating expenses such as ring road and parking area maintenance, landscaping and other fees. These arrangements are primarily either set at a fixed rate with rate increases typically every five years or are on a variable (pro rata) basis, typically as a percentage of costs allocated based on square footage or sales. The majority of these contracts have an initial term and one or more extension options, which cumulatively approximate 50 or more years as historically the initial term and any extension options are typically reasonably certain of being executed by the third party. The standalone selling price of each performance obligation is determined based on the terms of the contract, which typically assigns a price to each performance obligation that directly relates to the value the customer receives for the services being provided. Revenue is recognized as services are transferred to the customer. Variable consideration is based on historical experience and is generally recognized over time using the cost-to-cost method of measurement because it most accurately depicts the Company's performance in satisfying the performance obligation. The cumulative catch-up method is used to recognize any adjustments in variable consideration estimates. Under this method, any adjustment is recognized in the period it is identified.

Management, development and leasing fees     

The Company earns revenue from contracts with third parties and unconsolidated affiliates for property management, leasing, development and other services. These contracts are accounted for on a month-to-month basis if the agreement does not contain substantive penalties for termination. The majority of the Company's contracts with customers are accounted for on a month-to-month basis. The standalone selling price of each performance obligation is determined based on the terms of the contract, which typically assigns a price to each performance obligation that directly relates to the value the customer receives for the services being provided. These contracts generally are for the following:

• Management fees - Management fees are charged as a percentage of revenues (as defined in the contract) and recognized as revenue over time as services are provided.

• Leasing fees - Leasing fees are charged for newly executed leases and lease renewals and are recognized as revenue upon lease execution, when the performance obligation is completed. In cases for which the agreement specifies 50% of the leasing commission will be paid upon lease execution with the remainder paid when the tenant opens, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration it expects to receive by

118

evaluating the likelihood of tenant openings using the most likely amount method and records the amount as an unbilled receivable (contract asset).

• Development fees - Development fees may be either set as a fixed rate in a separate agreement or be a variable rate based on a percentage of work costs. Variable consideration related to development fees is generally recognized over time using the cost-to-cost method of measurement because it most accurately depicts the Company's performance in satisfying the performance obligation. Contract estimates are based on various assumptions including the cost and availability of materials, anticipated performance and the complexity of the work to be performed. The cumulative catch-up method is used to recognize any adjustments in variable consideration estimates. Under this method, any adjustment is recognized in the period it is identified.

Development and leasing fees received from an unconsolidated affiliate are recognized as revenue only to the extent of the third-party partner’s ownership interest. The Company's share of such fees are recorded as a reduction to the Company’s investment in the unconsolidated affiliate.

Marketing revenues

The Company earns marketing revenues from advertising and sponsorship agreements. These fees may be for tangible items in which the Company provides advertising services and creates signs and other promotional materials for the tenant or may be arrangements in which the customer sponsors a play area or event and receives specified brand recognition and other benefits over a set period of time. Revenue related to advertising services is recognized as goods and services are provided to the customer. Sponsorship revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the time period specified in the contract.

Performance obligations

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to a customer. If the contract does not specify the revenue by performance obligation, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. Such prices are generally determined using prices charged to customers or using the Company’s expected cost plus margin. Revenue is recognized as the Company’s performance obligations are satisfied over time, as services are provided, or at a point in time, such as leasing a space to earn a commission. Open performance obligations are those in which the Company has not fully or has partially provided the applicable good or services to the customer as specified in the contract. If consideration is received in advance of the Company’s performance, including amounts which are refundable, recognition of revenue is deferred until the performance obligation is satisfied or amounts are no longer refundable.

Outstanding Performance Obligations

The Company has outstanding performance obligations related to certain noncancellable contracts with customers for which it will receive fixed operating expense reimbursements for providing certain maintenance and other services as described above. As of December 31, 2020, the Company expects to recognize these amounts as revenue over the following periods:

Performance obligation	Less than 5 years		5-20 years		Over 20 years		Total
Fixed operating expense reimbursements	$	24,400	$	47,186	$	41,715	$	113,301

The Company evaluates its performance obligations each period and makes adjustments to reflect any known additions or cancellations. Performance obligations related to variable consideration, which is based on sales, are constrained.

NOTE 5. LEASES

Lessor

Rental Revenues

The majority of the Company’s revenues are earned through the lease of space at its properties. All of the Company's leases with tenants for the use of space at its properties are classified as operating leases. Rental revenues include minimum rent, percentage rent, other rents and reimbursements from tenants for real estate taxes, insurance, common area maintenance ("CAM") and other operating expenses as provided in the lease agreements. The option to extend or terminate the Company’s leases is specific to each underlying tenant lease agreement. Typically, the Company's

119

leases contain penalties for early termination. The Company doesn't have any leases that convey the right for the lessee to purchase the leased asset.

Minimum rental revenue from operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the initial terms of the related leases. Certain tenants are required to pay percentage rent if their sales volumes exceed thresholds specified in their lease agreements. Percentage rent is recognized as revenue when the thresholds are achieved and the amounts become determinable.

The Company receives reimbursements from tenants for real estate taxes, insurance, CAM and other recoverable operating expenses as provided in the lease agreements. Any tenant reimbursements that require fixed payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the initial terms of the related leases, whereas any variable payments are recognized when earned in accordance with the tenant lease agreements. Tenant reimbursements related to certain capital expenditures are billed to tenants over periods of 5 to 15 years.

The components of rental revenues are as follows:

	Year Ended December 31,
	2020		2019		2018
Fixed lease payments	$	459,958	$	607,259	$	684,634
Variable lease payments		94,106		129,619		144,479
Total rental revenues	$	554,064	$	736,878	$	829,113

Thereafter		412,502
Total undiscounted lease payments	$	1,855,982

Lessee

The Company has eight ground leases and one office lease in which it is a lessee. The maturities of these leases range from 2021 to 2089 and generally provide for renewal options ranging from five to ten years. The Company included the renewal options in its lease terms for purposes of calculating its lease liability and ROU asset because it has no plans to cease operating its assets associated with each ground lease. The ground leases relate to properties where the Company owns the buildings and improvements but leases the underlying land. The lease payments on the majority of the ground leases are fixed, but in the instances where they are variable, they are either based on the CPI index or a percentage of sales. The office lease is subleased as of December 31, 2020. As of December 31, 2020, these leases have a weighted-average remaining lease term of 42.8 years and a weighted-average discount rate of 8.3%.

The Company's ROU asset and lease liability are presented in the consolidated balance sheets within intangible lease assets and other assets and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, respectively. A summary of the Company's ROU asset and lease liability activity during the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 is presented below:

(1) Subsequent to December 31, 2020, the Company entered into an amended and restated Restructuring Support Agreement with its credit facility lenders and unsecured noteholders that provides for a fully consensual comprehensive restructuring. See Note 20 for additional information.

(2) Issued by the Operating Partnership. CBL is a limited guarantor of the Operating Partnership's obligations under the Notes as described above.

The Company elected to not make the $6,900 interest payment (the “2024 Notes Interest Payment”) due and payable on October 15, 2020, with respect to the 2024 Notes. Under the indenture governing the 2024 Notes, the Operating Partnership had a 30-day grace period to make the 2024 Notes Interest Payment before the nonpayment was considered an “event of default” with respect to the 2024 Notes. The Company filed the Chapter 11 Cases prior to the end of the 30-day grace period.

Senior Secured Credit Facility

The Company has a $1,185,000 senior secured credit facility, which includes a revolving line of credit drawn to its maximum borrowing capacity of $675,926 and a term loan with an outstanding balance of $438,750 at December 31, 2020. The facility matures in July 2023 and bore interest at a variable rate of LIBOR plus 2.25% through March 30, 2020. On August 6, 2020, the Operating Partnership received a notice of imposition of base rate and post-default rate letter from the administrative agent under the secured credit facility, which (i) informed the Operating Partnership that following an asserted event of default on March 19, 2020, all outstanding loans were converted to base rate loans at the expiration of the applicable interest periods and (ii) sought payment of $4,812 related thereto for April through June 2020 (the “Demand Interest”). The base rate is defined as the highest of (i) the prime rate, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% and (iii) the LIBOR Market Index Rate plus 1.0%, plus 1.25%. The base rate on December 31, 2020 was 4.50% based on the prime rate plus 1.25%. The administrative agent also informed the Operating Partnership that from and after August 6, 2020, interest will accrue on all outstanding obligations at the post-default rate, which is equal to the rate that otherwise would be in effect plus 5.0%. The post-default interest rate at the time of notification and at December 31, 2020 was 9.50%. As further described in Note 2 and in Financial Covenants and Restrictions below, the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases constituted an event of default that resulted in certain monetary obligations becoming immediately due and payable with respect to the secured credit facility.

The Operating Partnership is required to pay an annual facility fee, to be paid quarterly, which ranges from 0.25% to 0.35%, based on the unused capacity of the line of credit. The terms of the facility also require the principal balance on the term loan to be reduced by $35,000 per year in quarterly installments. In March 2020, the Company drew $280,000 on its secured credit facility to increase liquidity and preserve financial flexibility in light of the uncertainty surrounding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. At December 31, 2020, the secured line of credit had an outstanding balance of $675,926. As a result of the event of default due to the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases described under Financial Covenants and Restrictions below, the Operating Partnership cannot borrow any additional amounts under the secured line of credit.

The secured credit facility is secured by 17 malls and 3 associated centers that are owned by 36 wholly owned subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership (collectively the “Combined Guarantor Subsidiaries”). The Combined Guarantor Subsidiaries own an additional four malls, two associated centers and four mortgage notes receivable that are not collateral for the secured credit facility. The properties that are collateral for the secured credit facility and the properties and mortgage notes receivable that are not collateral are collectively referred to as the “Guarantor Properties.” The terms of the Notes provide that, to the extent that any subsidiary of the Operating Partnership executes and delivers a guarantee to another

129

debt facility, the Operating Partnership shall also cause the subsidiary to guarantee the Operating Partnership’s obligations under the Notes on a senior basis. In January 2019, the Combined Guarantor Subsidiaries entered into a guarantee agreement with the issuer of the Notes to satisfy the guaranty requirement.

See Financial Covenants and Restrictions below and Liquidity and Going Concern Considerations and Voluntary Reorganization under Chapter 11 in Note 2 for information on the event of default resulting from the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases.

Financial Covenants and Restrictions

The agreements for the Notes and senior secured credit facility contain default provisions customary for transactions of this nature (with applicable customary grace periods). Additionally, any default in the payment of any recourse indebtedness greater than or equal to $50,000 of the Operating Partnership will constitute an event of default under the Notes and the senior secured credit facility. Additionally, the senior secured credit facility contains a provision that any default on a payment of non-recourse indebtedness in excess of $150,000 is also a default of the senior secured credit facility.

The filing of the Chapter 11 Cases constituted an event of default that resulted in certain monetary obligations becoming immediately due and payable with respect to the secured credit facility and the senior unsecured notes. The filing of the Chapter 11 Cases also constituted an event of default with respect to certain property-level debt of the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries, which may result in acceleration of the outstanding principal and other sums due.

Certain of the Company’s properties that are pledged as collateral on non-recourse mortgage loans and the secured credit facility are subject to cash management agreements with the lenders, which restrict the cash balances associated with those properties to only be used for debt service and operating expense obligations.

Fixed-Rate Debt

As of December 31, 2020, fixed-rate loans on operating Properties bear interest at stated rates ranging from 4.36% to 5.99%. Fixed-rate loans on operating Properties generally provide for monthly payments of principal and/or interest and mature at various dates through June 2026, with a weighted-average maturity of 1.6 years.

2020 Modifications

The maturity date for the fixed-rate loan secured by Jefferson Mall was extended from June 1, 2022 to June 1, 2026. The loan will be interest only through March 2021 when monthly payments of principal and interest will be made through the maturity date.

2019 Financings

In April 2019, the loan secured by Volusia Mall was refinanced to increase the principal balance to $50,000. In addition, the maturity date was extended to May 2024 and the fixed interest rate was reduced from 8.00% to 4.56%. The net proceeds from the new loan were used to retire the $41,000 existing loan and a portion of the loan secured by Honey Creek Mall, as described below.

In May 2019, the Company exercised an option to extend the loan secured by The Outlet Shoppes at Laredo to May 2021. In conjunction with the amendment, a payment of $10,800 was made to reduce the outstanding balance of the loan to $43,000. The noncontrolling interest partner in the joint venture funded its 35% share of the $10,800 payment.

130

Loan Repayments

The Company repaid the following fixed-rate loans, secured by the related consolidated Properties, in 2020 and 2019:

Dispositions

The following is a summary of the Company's dispositions for which the fixed-rate loan secured by the mall was extinguished:

Sale/Transfer Date	Property	Interest Rate at Repayment Date	Scheduled Maturity Date	Balance of Non-recourse Debt		Gain on Extinguishment of Debt
2020:
August	Hickory Point Mall (1)	5.85%	December 2019	$	27,446	$	15,446
December	Burnsville Mall (1)	6.00%	July 2020		64,233		17,075
				$	91,679	$	32,521
2019:
January	Acadiana Mall (1)	5.67%	April 2017	$	119,760	$	61,795
January	Cary Towne Center (2)	4.00%	June 2018		43,716		9,927
				$	163,476	$	71,722

(1) The Company transferred title to the mall to the mortgage holder in satisfaction of the non-recourse debt secured by the Property.

(2) The Company sold the mall for $31,500 and the net proceeds from the sale were used to satisfy a portion of the loan secured by the mall. The remaining principal balance was forgiven.

Variable-Rate Debt

The recourse loans secured by operating properties bear interest at a variable interest rate indexed to LIBOR. At December 31, 2020, the interest rates ranged from 3.05% to 5.80%. These loans mature in 2021.

131

Financing

The Company entered into a construction loan in October 2018 to redevelop anchor space at Brookfield Square. The loan bears interest at a variable interest rate indexed to LIBOR. At December 31, 2020, the interest rate was 3.1%. This loan matures in October 2021 and has one 12-month extension option for an outside maturity date of October 2022. The Company is in discussions with the lender regarding the extension option because the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases constituted an event of default under the loan agreement. The loan was reclassified as an operating property loan during 2020 due to construction and all loan draws being completed.

Loans in Default

As of December 31, 2020, four non-recourse loans that are each secured by one of the Company’s malls were in default. The default of the four non-recourse loans occurred prior to the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases. As of December 31, 2020, the lenders under each of these loans accelerated the outstanding amount due and payable on the loans. Subsequent to December 31, 2020, Asheville Mall and Park Plaza were turned over to receivers to manage the properties (see Note 20). The foreclosure process has not yet commenced in relation to EastGate Mall. The Company is in discussions with the lender regarding a restructure of the loan secured by Greenbrier Mall. Management has previously impaired the mall that secures each loan due to a shortened expected hold period resulting from management’s assessment that there is an increased likelihood that the loan secured by each mall may not be successfully restructured or refinanced. The non-recourse loans that are in default at December 31, 2020 are as follows:

Property	Location	Interest Rate	Scheduled Maturity Date	Loan Amount
Greenbrier Mall	Chesapeake, VA	5.41%	Dec-19	$	61,647
EastGate Mall	Cincinnati, OH	5.83%	Apr-21		31,181
Park Plaza	Little Rock, AR	5.28%	Apr-21		76,805
Asheville Mall	Asheville, NC	5.80%	Sep-21		62,121

As described in Note 2, the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases also constituted an event of default with respect to certain property-level debt of the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries, which may have resulted in the automatic acceleration of certain monetary obligations or may give the applicable lender the right to accelerate such amounts. There are 14 of such loans that have an aggregate outstanding balance of $833,444 at December 31, 2020.

Other

Several of the Company’s Properties are owned by special purpose entities, created as a requirement under certain loan agreements that are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The sole business purpose of the special purpose entities is to own and operate these Properties. The real estate and other assets owned by these special purpose entities are restricted under the loan agreements in that they are not available to settle other debts of the Company. However, so long as the loans are not under an event of default, as defined in the loan agreements, the cash flows from these Properties, after payments of debt service, operating expenses and reserves, are available for distribution to the Company.

Scheduled Principal Payments

As of December 31, 2020, the scheduled principal amortization and balloon payments of the Company’s consolidated debt, excluding extensions available at the Company’s option, on all mortgage and other indebtedness, are as follows:

2021	$	560,128
2022		407,638
2023		1,502,276
2024		343,571
2025		38,355
Thereafter		764,325

Principal balance of loan with a maturity date prior to December 31, 2020 (2)		61,647
Total mortgage and other indebtedness, net	$	3,677,940

(1) Includes $2,489,676 of liabilities subject to compromise in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2020, and as the expected maturity date is subject to the outcome of the Chapter 11 Cases, the original, legal maturity dates are reflected in this table.

(2) Represents the aggregate principal balance as of December 31, 2020 of one non-recourse loan, secured by Greenbrier Mall which was in default. The loan secured by Greenbrier Mall matured in December 2019.

The Company's authorized common stock consists of 350,000,000 shares at $0.01 par value per share. The Company had 196,569,917 and 174,115,111 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Partners in the Operating Partnership hold their ownership through common and special common units of limited partnership interest, hereinafter referred to as "common units." A common unit and a share of CBL's common stock have essentially the same economic characteristics, as they effectively participate equally in the net income and distributions of the Operating Partnership, except for certain special common units as disclosed in Note 11. For each share of common stock issued by CBL, the Operating Partnership has issued a corresponding number of common units to CBL in exchange for the proceeds from the stock issuance. The Operating Partnership had 201,687,773 and 200,189,077 common units outstanding as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Each limited partner in the Operating Partnership has the right to exchange all or a portion of its common units for shares of CBL's common stock, or at the Company's election, their cash equivalent. When an exchange for common stock occurs, the Company assumes the limited partner's common units in the Operating Partnership. The number of shares of common stock received by a limited partner of the Operating Partnership upon exercise of its exchange rights will be equal, on a one-for-one basis, to the number of common units exchanged by the limited partner. If the Company elects to pay cash, the amount of cash paid by the Operating Partnership to redeem the limited partner's common units will be based on the five-day trailing average of the trading price, at the time of exchange, of the shares of common stock that would otherwise have been received by the limited partner in the exchange. However, for so long as the current distribution suspension results in the existence of a distribution shortfall (as described in the Partnership Agreement of the Operating Partnership) with respect to any of the S-SCUs, the L-SCUs or the K-SCUs (an “SCU Distribution Shortfall”), the Company may not elect to settle any exchange requested by a holder of common units of the Operating Partnership in cash, and may only settle any such exchange through the issuance of shares of common stock or other units of the Operating Partnership ranking junior to any such units as to which a distribution shortfall exists. The Company’s Board of Directors has prospectively approved that to the extent any partners exercise any or all of their exchange rights while the existence of the SCU Distribution Shortfall requires any exchange to be settled through the issuance of shares of common stock or other units of the Operating Partnership, the consideration paid shall be in the form of shares of common stock. Neither the common units nor the shares of CBL's common stock are subject to any right of mandatory redemption.

Pursuant to the terms of the Series L special common units of limited partnership interest, the Series L special common units began receiving distributions equal to those on the common units beginning on June 1, 2020.

At-The-Market Equity Program

On March 1, 2013, the Company entered into the Sales Agreements (collectively, the "Sales Agreements") with a number of sales agents to sell shares of CBL's common stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $300,000, from time to time in the ATM equity offerings (as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) or in negotiated transaction (the "ATM program"). In accordance with the Sales Agreements, the Company will set the parameters for the sales of shares, including the number of shares to be issued, the time period during which sales are to be made and any minimum price below which sales may not be made. The Sales Agreements provide that the sales agents will be entitled to compensation for their services at a mutually agreed commission rate not to exceed 2.0% of the gross proceeds from the sales of shares sold through the ATM program. For each share of common stock issued by CBL, the Operating Partnership issues a corresponding number of common units of limited partnership interest to CBL in exchange for the contribution of the proceeds from the stock issuance. The Company includes only share issuances that have settled in the calculation of shares outstanding at the end of each period.

Since inception, the Company has sold $211,493 of common stock through the ATM program, at a weighted-average sales price of $25.12, generating net proceeds of $209,596, which were used to reduce the balances on the Company's credit facilities. Since the commencement of the ATM program, the Company has issued 8,419,298 shares of common stock and approximately $88,507 remains available that may be sold under this program as of December 31, 2020. The Company has not sold any shares under the ATM program since 2013. Actual future sales under this program, if any, will depend on a variety of factors including but not limited to market conditions, the trading price of CBL's common stock and the Company's capital needs. The Company has no obligation to sell the remaining shares available under the ATM program and currently is unable to use its shelf registration statement covering the sale of such shares.

Common Unit Activity

During 2020, the Company issued 20,956,110 shares of common stock to 31 holders of 20,956,110 common units and special common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership in connection with the exercise of the holders’ contractual exchange rights.

During 2019, the Operating Partnership elected to pay cash of $96 to a holder of 72,592 common units in the Operating Partnership upon the exercise of the holder’s conversion rights. The Company also issued 611,847 shares of common stock to two holders of 611,847 common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership in connection with the exercise of the holders’ contractual exchange rights.

During 2018, the Operating Partnership elected to pay cash of $2,246 to two holders of 526,510 common units in the Operating Partnership upon the exercise of their conversion rights. The Company also issued 915,338 shares of common stock to a holder of 915,338 common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership in connection with the exercise of the holder’s contractual exchange rights.

Preferred Stock and Preferred Units

The Company's authorized preferred stock consists of 15,000,000 shares at $0.01 par value per share. A description of the Company's cumulative redeemable preferred stock is listed below. The Operating Partnership issues an equivalent number of preferred units to CBL in exchange for the contribution of the proceeds from CBL to the Operating Partnership when CBL issues preferred stock. The preferred units generally have the same terms and economic characteristics as the corresponding series of preferred stock.

The Company has 6,900,000 depositary shares, each representing 1/10th of a share of CBL's 6.625% Series E Preferred Stock with a par value of $0.01 per share, outstanding as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. The Series E Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of $250.00 per share ($25.00 per depositary share). The dividends on the Series E Preferred Stock are cumulative, accrue from the date of issuance and are payable quarterly in arrears at a rate of $16.5625 per share ($1.65625 per depositary share) per annum. The Series E Preferred Stock generally has no stated maturity, is not subject to any sinking fund or mandatory redemption, and is not convertible into any other securities of the Company, except under certain circumstances in connection with a change of control. Owners of the depositary shares representing Series E Preferred Stock generally have no voting rights except under dividend default. The Company may redeem shares, in whole or in part, at any time for a cash redemption price of $250.00 per share ($25.00 per depositary share) plus accrued and unpaid dividends.

The Company has 18,150,000 depositary shares, each representing 1/10th of a share of CBL's 7.375% Series D Preferred Stock with a par value of $0.01 per share, outstanding as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. The Series D Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of $250.00 per share ($25.00 per depositary share). The dividends on the

135

Series D Preferred Stock are cumulative, accrue from the date of issuance and are payable quarterly in arrears at a rate of $18.4375 per share ($1.84375 per depositary share) per annum. The Series D Preferred Stock has no stated maturity, is not subject to any sinking fund or mandatory redemption and is not convertible into any other securities of the Company. The Company may redeem shares, in whole or in part, at any time for a cash redemption price of $250.00 per share ($25.00 per depositary share) plus accrued and unpaid dividends.

In December 2019, the Company announced the suspension of all future dividends on its 7.375% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock and 6.625% Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock. Unpaid dividends on the Company’s preferred stock accrued without interest prior to the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, after which the accrual ceased, and amounted to $37,410 and $11,223 at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company will review taxable income on a regular basis and take measures, if necessary, to ensure that it meets the minimum distribution requirements to maintain its status as a REIT.

Dividends - CBL  

CBL paid a first quarter 2019 cash dividend on its common stock of $0.075 per share on April 16, 2019. Under the terms of a litigation settlement agreement, the Company did not pay any dividends to holders of its common shares payable in the third and fourth quarters of 2019 (see Note 16 for more information on the litigation settlement agreement). As noted above, in December 2019 the Company suspended all future dividends on its common stock and preferred stock, as well as distributions to all noncontrolling interest investors in its Operating Partnership (as noted below). No dividends may be paid on shares of the Company’s common stock unless (i) all accrued but unpaid dividends on its preferred stock, and any current dividend then due, have been paid in cash, or a cash sum sufficient for such payment has been set apart for payment and (ii) the SCU Distribution Shortfall created by its related suspension of distributions to noncontrolling interest investors in its Operating Partnership has likewise been remedied through the payment of distributions sufficient to satisfy such shortfall for all prior periods and the then-current period (thereby allowing the resumption of distributions on the common units in the Operating Partnership that are held by the Company, which fund its common stock dividends). The decision to declare and pay dividends on the Company’s common stock in the future, as well as the timing, amount and composition of any such future dividends, will be at the sole discretion of its board of directors. 

For purposes of determining net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders, the Company disclosed the cumulation of undeclared dividends on its Series D Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock. The undeclared dividends on the Company’s Series D Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock ceased to cumulate as of the Commencement Date as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases.

For purposes of determining net income (loss) attributable to common unitholders, the Company disclosed the cumulation of undeclared distributions on its preferred units and special common units. The undeclared distributions on the preferred units and special common units ceased to cumulate as of the Commencement Date as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases.

The allocations of dividends declared and paid for income tax purposes are as follows (income tax allocations are not applicable in 2020 due to the Company not paying any dividends in 2020):

	Year Ended December 31,
	2019			2018

Distributions - The Operating Partnership

The Operating Partnership paid first, second and third quarter 2019 cash distributions on its redeemable common units of $0.7322 per share on April 16, July 16 and October 16, 2019. The Operating partnership paid first quarter cash distributions on its common units of $0.075 per share on April 16, 2019. The Company suspended all future distributions by the Operating Partnership until further notice.    

NOTE 11. REDEEMABLE INTERESTS AND NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests and Noncontrolling Interests of the Company

Partnership Interests in the Operating Partnership that Are Not Owned by the Company

The common units that the Company does not own are reflected in the Company's consolidated balance sheets as redeemable noncontrolling interest and noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership.

Series S Special Common Units

Redeemable noncontrolling interest includes a noncontrolling partnership interest in the Operating Partnership for which the partnership agreement includes redemption provisions that may require the Operating Partnership to redeem the partnership interest for real property. In July 2004, the Operating Partnership issued 1,560,940 Series S special common units (“S-SCUs”), all of which are outstanding as of December 31, 2020, in connection with the acquisition of Monroeville Mall. Under the terms of the Operating Partnership’s limited partnership agreement, the holder of the S-SCUs has the right to exchange all or a portion of its partnership interest for shares of the Company’s common stock or, at the Company’s election, their cash equivalent. The holder has the additional right to require the Operating Partnership to acquire a qualifying property and distribute it to the holder in exchange for the S-SCUs. Generally, the acquisition price of the qualifying property cannot be more than the lesser of the consideration that would be received in a normal exchange, as discussed above, or $20,000, subject to certain limited exceptions. Should the consideration that would be received in a normal exchange exceed the maximum property acquisition price as described in the preceding sentence, the excess portion of its partnership interest could be exchanged for shares of CBL's stock or, at the Company’s election, their cash equivalent. The S-SCUs receive a minimum distribution of $2.92875 per unit per year which will cumulate (similar to a preferred dividend) during the current SCU Distribution Shortfall, with the SCU Distribution Shortfall being required to be fully cured (on a ratable basis among the respective holders of S-SCUs, L-SCUs and K-SCUs) before any distributions may be resumed with respect to regular common units, pursuant to the terms of the Operating Partnership’s limited partnership agreement.

Series L Special Common Units

In June 2005, the Operating Partnership issued 571,700 Series L special common units ("L-SCUs"), all of which are outstanding as of December 31, 2020, in connection with the acquisition of Laurel Park Place. The L-SCUs receive a minimum distribution of $0.7572 per unit per quarter ($3.0288 per unit per year) which will cumulate (similar to a preferred dividend) during the current SCU Distribution Shortfall, with the SCU Distribution Shortfall being required to be fully cured (on a ratable basis among the respective holders of S-SCUs, L-SCUs and K-SCUs) before any distributions may be resumed with respect to regular common units, pursuant to the terms of the Operating Partnership’s limited partnership agreement. Upon the earlier to occur of June 1, 2020, or when the distribution on the common units exceeds $0.7572 per unit for four consecutive calendar quarters, the L-SCUs will thereafter receive a distribution equal to the amount paid on the common units. In December 2012, the Operating Partnership issued 622,278 common units valued at $14,000 to acquire the remaining 30% noncontrolling interest in Laurel Park Place. Pursuant to the terms of the Series L special common units of limited partnership interest, the Series L special common units began receiving distributions equal to those on the common units beginning on June 1, 2020.

Series K Special Common Units

In November 2005, the Operating Partnership issued 1,144,924 Series K special common units ("K-SCUs") in connection with the acquisition of Oak Park Mall, Eastland Mall and Hickory Point Mall. The holders of the K-SCUs receive a dividend at a rate of 6.25%, or $2.96875 per K-SCU, which will cumulate (similar to a preferred dividend) during the current SCU Distribution Shortfall, with the SCU Distribution Shortfall being required to be fully cured (on a ratable basis among the respective holders of S-SCUs, L-SCUs and K-SCUs) before any distributions may be resumed with respect to regular

137

common units, pursuant to the terms of the Operating Partnership’s limited partnership agreement. When the quarterly distribution on the Operating Partnership’s common units exceeds the quarterly K-SCU distribution for four consecutive quarters, the K-SCUs will receive distributions at the rate equal to that paid on the Operating Partnership’s common units. The holders of the K-SCUs may exchange them, on a one-for-one basis, for shares of CBL’s common stock or, at the Company’s election, their cash equivalent.

In December 2018, the Operating Partnership elected to pay $21 in cash to a holder of 8,120 K-SCUs upon the exercise of the holder’s conversion rights. In September 2020, the Company issued 267,983 shares of common stock to a holder of 267,983 K-SCUs upon the exercise of the holder’s conversion rights.

Outstanding rights to convert redeemable noncontrolling interests and noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership to common stock were held by the following parties at December 31, 2020 and 2019:

	December 31,
	2020		2019
CBL’s Predecessor		—		18,117,350
Third parties		5,117,856		7,956,616
		5,117,856		26,073,966

The assets and liabilities allocated to the Operating Partnership’s redeemable noncontrolling interest and noncontrolling interests are based on their ownership percentages of the Operating Partnership at December 31, 2020 and 2019. The ownership percentages are determined by dividing the number of common units held by each of the redeemable noncontrolling interest and the noncontrolling interests at December 31, 2020 and 2019 by the total common units outstanding at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The redeemable noncontrolling interest ownership percentage in assets and liabilities of the Operating Partnership was 0.8% at December 31, 2020 and 2019. The noncontrolling interest ownership percentage in assets and liabilities of the Operating Partnership was 1.8% and 12.2% at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. 

Income is allocated to the Operating Partnership’s redeemable noncontrolling interest and noncontrolling interests based on their weighted-average ownership during the year. The ownership percentages are determined by dividing the weighted-average number of common units held by each of the redeemable noncontrolling interest and noncontrolling interests by the total weighted-average number of common units outstanding during the year. 

A change in the number of shares of common stock or common units changes the percentage ownership of all partners of the Operating Partnership. A common unit is considered to be equivalent to a share of common stock since it generally is exchangeable for shares of the Company’s common stock or, at the Company’s election, their cash equivalent. As a result, an allocation is made between redeemable noncontrolling interests, shareholders’ equity and noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership in the Company's accompanying balance sheets to reflect the change in ownership of the Operating Partnership’s underlying equity when there is a change in the number of shares and/or common units outstanding. During 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company allocated $302, $3,398 and $4,065, respectively, from shareholders’ equity to redeemable noncontrolling interest. During 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company allocated $6,002, $4,392 and $13,642, respectively, from shareholders' equity to noncontrolling interest.

The total redeemable noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership was $(265) and $2,160 at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The total noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership was $(604) and $31,592 at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests and Noncontrolling Interests in Other Consolidated Subsidiaries  

The Company had 12 other consolidated subsidiaries at December 31, 2020 and 2019 that had noncontrolling interests held by third parties and for which the related partnership agreements either do not include redemption provisions or are subject to redemption provisions that do not require classification outside of permanent equity. The total noncontrolling interests in other consolidated subsidiaries were $3,058 and $23,961 at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. 

The assets and liabilities allocated to the redeemable noncontrolling interests and noncontrolling interests in other consolidated subsidiaries are based on the third parties’ ownership percentages in each subsidiary at December 31, 2020 and 2019. Income is allocated to the redeemable noncontrolling interests and noncontrolling interests in other consolidated subsidiaries based on the third parties’ weighted-average ownership in each subsidiary during the year. 

138

Redeemable Interests and Noncontrolling Interests of the Operating Partnership

The S-SCUs described above that are reflected as redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Company's consolidated balance sheets are reflected as redeemable common units in the Operating Partnership's consolidated balance sheets.

The noncontrolling interests in other consolidated subsidiaries that are held by third parties that are reflected as a component of noncontrolling interests in the Company's consolidated balance sheets comprise the entire amount that is reflected as noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership's consolidated balance sheets.

Variable Interest Entities

In accordance with the guidance in ASU 2015-02, Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis , and ASU 2016-17, Interests Held Through Related Parties That Are under Common Control, the Operating Partnership and certain of its subsidiaries are deemed to have the characteristics of a VIE primarily because the limited partners of these entities do not collectively possess substantive kick-out or participating rights.

The Company consolidates the Operating Partnership, which is a VIE, for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company, through the Operating Partnership, consolidates all VIEs for which it is the primary beneficiary. Generally, a VIE is a legal entity in which the equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or the equity investors lack sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. A limited partnership is considered a VIE when the majority of the limited partners unrelated to the general partner possess neither the right to remove the general partner without cause, nor certain rights to participate in the decisions that most significantly affect the financial results of the partnership. In determining whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, the Company considers qualitative and quantitative factors, including, but not limited to: which activities most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and which party controls such activities; the amount and characteristics of the Company's investment; the obligation or likelihood for the Company or other investors to provide financial support; and the similarity with and significance to the Company's business activities and the business activities of the other investors.

The table below lists the Company's consolidated VIEs as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, which do not reflect the elimination of any internal debt the consolidated VIE has with the Operating Partnership:

NOTE 12. MORTGAGE AND OTHER NOTES RECEIVABLE

The Company's mortgage note receivable is collateralized by an assignment of 100% of the partnership interests that own the real estate assets. Other notes receivable include amounts due from tenants and unsecured notes received from third parties as whole or partial consideration for property or investments. 

Mortgage and other notes receivable consist of the following:

			As of December 31, 2020			As of December 31, 2019
	Maturity Date		Interest Rate	Balance		Interest Rate	Balance
Mortgage	Dec 2016	(1)	2.64%	$	1,100	4.28% - 9.50%	$	2,637
Other Notes Receivable	Sep 2021- Apr 2026		4.00% - 5.00%		1,237	4.00% - 5.00%		2,025
				$	2,337		$	4,662

(1) Represents a $1,100 note with D'Iberville Promenade, LLC with a maturity date of December 2016, that is in default. This is secured by the joint venture partner’s interest in the joint venture.

Expected credit losses

As of December 31, 2020, the one mortgage note receivable is in default, but as noted above, the Company has a noncontrolling interest recorded related to the defaulting partner’s interest that serves as collateral on the note, and that amount is greater than the outstanding balance on the note. Based on this information, the Company did not record a credit loss for this class of receivables for the year ended December 31, 2020.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company assessed each of its note receivables factoring in credit quality indicators such as collection experience and future expectations of performance to determine whether a credit loss should be recorded. Based on this information, the Company wrote off a $1,230 note receivable associated with amounts due from a government sponsored district at The Shoppes at St. Clair during the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company did not record any other credit losses for this class of receivables for the year ended December 31, 2020.

NOTE 16. CONTINGENCIES

Litigation

In April 2019, the Company entered into a settlement agreement and release with respect to the class action lawsuit filed on March 16, 2016 in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida by Wave Lengths Hair Salons of Florida, Inc. d/b/a Salon Adrian. Pursuant to the settlement agreement the Company set aside a common fund with a monetary and non-monetary value of $90,000 to be disbursed to class members in accordance with an agreed-upon formula that was based upon aggregate damages of $60,000. The Court granted final approval to the proposed settlement on August 22, 2019. The class members were comprised of past and current tenants at certain of the Company's shopping centers that it owns or formerly owned during the class period, which extended from January 1, 2011 through the date of preliminary court approval. Class members who are past tenants and made a valid claim pursuant to the Court's order received payment of their claims in cash. Class members who are current tenants began receiving monthly credits against rents and future charges during the three months ended June 30, 2020 and, under the terms of the settlement agreement, will continue for the following five years. Any amounts under the settlement allocated to tenants with outstanding amounts payable to the Company, including tenants which have declared bankruptcy or declare bankruptcy over the relevant period, will first be deducted from the amounts owed to the Company. All attorney’s fees and associated costs to class counsel (up to a maximum of $27,000), the incentive award to the class representative (up to a maximum of $50), and class administration costs (which are expected to not exceed $100), have been or will be funded by the common fund, which has been approved by the Court. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, the Company did not pay any dividends to holders of its common shares payable in the third and fourth quarters of 2019. The settlement agreement did not restrict the Company's ability to declare dividends payable in 2020 or in subsequent years. The Company recorded an accrued liability and corresponding litigation settlement expense of $88,150 in the three months ended March 31, 2019 related to the settlement agreement. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company reduced the accrued liability by an aggregate $26,396, a majority of which was related to past tenants that did not submit a claim pursuant to the terms of the settlement agreement with the remainder relating to tenants that either opted out of the lawsuit or waived their rights to their respective settlement amounts. Additionally, the Company reduced the accrued liability during the three months ended December 31, 2019 by $23,050 related to attorney and administrative fees that were paid pursuant to the settlement agreement. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company reduced the accrued liability by $25,157. Of this amount, $8,348 was related to monthly credits against rents and other charges for current tenants, $4,915 was paid to past tenants, $4,039 was paid to plaintiff’s counsel and the claims administrator, and $7,855 represents amounts the Company was released from pursuant to the terms of the settlement agreement. A notice of suggestion of bankruptcy was filed by the Company in this litigation on November 3, 2020. The Company received document requests in the third quarter of 2019, in the form of subpoenas, from the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Department of Justice regarding the Wave Lengths Hair Salons of Florida, Inc. litigation and other related matters. The Company continues to cooperate in these matters.

Securities Litigation

The Company and certain of its officers and directors were named as defendants in three putative securities class action lawsuits (collectively, the “Securities Class Action Litigation”), each filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee, on behalf of all persons who purchased or otherwise acquired the Company’s securities during a specified period of time. Those cases were consolidated on July 17, 2019, under the caption In re CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. Securities Litigation, 1:19-cv-00149-JRG-CHS.

The complaints filed in the Securities Class Action Litigation allege violations of the securities laws, including, among other things, that the defendants made certain materially false and misleading statements and omissions regarding the Company’s contingent liabilities, business, operations, and prospects during the periods of time specified above. The plaintiffs seek compensatory damages and attorneys’ fees and costs, among other relief, but have not specified the amount of damages sought. The outcome of these legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty. A notice of suggestion of bankruptcy was filed by the Company in this litigation on November 9, 2020.

Certain of the Company’s current and former directors and officers were named as defendants in nine shareholder derivative lawsuits (collectively, the “Derivative Litigation”). On June 4, 2019, a shareholder filed a putative derivative complaint captioned Robert Garfield v. Stephen D. Lebovitz et al., 1:19-cv-01038-LPS, in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (the “Garfield Derivative Action”), purportedly on behalf of the Company against certain of its officers and directors. On June 24, 2019, September 5, 2019 and September 25, 2019, respectively, other shareholders filed three additional putative derivative complaints, each in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, captioned as follows: Robert Cohen v. Stephen D. Lebovitz et al., 1:19-cv-01185-LPS (the “Cohen Derivative Action”); Travis Lore v. Stephen D. Lebovitz et al., 1:19-cv-01665-LPS (the “Lore Derivative Action”), and City of Gainesville Cons. Police Officers’

143

and Firefighters Retirement Plan v. Stephen D. Lebovitz et al., 1:19-cv-01800 (the “Gainesville Derivative Action”), each asserting substantially similar claims purportedly on behalf of the Company against similar defendants. The Court consolidated the Garfield Derivative Action and the Cohen Derivative Action on July 17, 2019, under the caption In re CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. Derivative Litigation, 1:19-cv-01038-LPS (the "Consolidated Derivative Action"). On July 25, 2019, the Court stayed proceedings in the Consolidated Derivative Action pending resolution of an eventual motion to dismiss in the Securities Class Action Litigation. On October 14, 2019, the parties to the Gainesville Derivative Action and the Lore Derivative Action filed a joint stipulation and proposed order confirming that each of those cases is subject to the consolidation order previously entered by the Court in the Consolidated Derivative Action and that further proceedings in those cases are stayed pending resolution of an eventual motion to dismiss in the Securities Class Action Litigation. On July 22, 2019, a shareholder filed a putative derivative complaint captioned Shebitz v. Lebovitz et al., 1:19-cv-00213, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee (the “Shebitz Derivative Action”); on January 10, 2020, a shareholder filed a putative derivative complaint captioned Chatman v. Lebovitz, et al., 2020-0011-JTL, in the Delaware Chancery Court (the “Chatman Derivative Action”); on February 12, 2020, a shareholder filed a putative derivative complaint captioned Kurup v. Lebovitz, et al., 2020-0070-JTL, in the Delaware Chancery Court (the “Kurup Derivative Action”); on February 26, 2020, a shareholder filed a putative derivative complaint captioned Kemmer v. Lebovitz, et al., 1:20-cv-00052, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee (the “Kemmer Derivative Action”); and on April 14, 2020, a shareholder filed a putative derivative complaint captioned Hebig v. Lebovitz, et al., 1:19-cv-00149-JRG-CHS, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee (the “Hebig Derivative Action”), each asserting substantially similar claims purportedly on behalf of the Company against similar defendants. The actions pending in Delaware Chancery Court have been consolidated into one case, and likewise, the actions pending in Delaware federal court have been consolidated into one case. The Tennessee actions have not been consolidated. On October 7, 2019, the Court stayed the Shebitz Derivative Action, pending resolution of an eventual motion to dismiss in the related Securities Class Action Litigation; the Company expects the other Derivative Actions to be stayed as well.

The complaints filed in the Derivative Litigation allege, among other things, breaches of fiduciary duties, unjust enrichment, waste of corporate assets, and violations of the federal securities laws. The factual allegations upon which these claims are based are similar to the factual allegations made in the Securities Class Action Litigation, described above. The complaints filed in the Derivative Litigation seek, among other things, unspecified damages and restitution for the Company from the individual defendants, the payment of costs and attorneys’ fees, and that the Company be directed to reform certain governance and internal procedures. The outcome of these legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty. A notice of suggestion of bankruptcy was filed by the Company in this litigation on November 9, 2020.         

The Company's insurance carriers have been placed on notice of these matters.

The Company is currently involved in certain other litigation that arises in the ordinary course of business, most of which is expected to be covered by liability insurance. Management makes assumptions and estimates concerning the likelihood and amount of any potential loss relating to these matters using the latest information available. The Company records a liability for litigation if an unfavorable outcome is probable and the amount of loss or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. If an unfavorable outcome is probable and a reasonable estimate of the loss is a range, the Company accrues the best estimate within the range. If no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, the Company accrues the minimum amount within the range. If an unfavorable outcome is probable but the amount of the loss cannot be reasonably estimated, the Company discloses the nature of the litigation and indicates that an estimate of the loss or range of loss cannot be made. If an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible and the estimated loss is material, the Company discloses the nature and estimate of the possible loss of the litigation. Based on current expectations, such matters, both individually and in the aggregate, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the liquidity, results of operations, business or financial condition of the Company. See Note 2 for a discussion of the Company’s adversarial proceeding with its Bank Lenders, which has been stayed pending the confirmation of the Company’s Plan by the Bankruptcy Court.

Environmental Contingencies

The Company evaluates potential loss contingencies related to environmental matters using the same criteria described above related to litigation matters. Based on current information, an unfavorable outcome concerning such environmental matters, both individually and in the aggregate, is considered to be reasonably possible. However, the Company believes its maximum potential exposure to loss would not be material to its results of operations or financial condition. The Company has a master insurance policy that provides coverage through 2022 for certain environmental claims up to $10,000 per occurrence and up to $50,000 in the aggregate, subject to deductibles and certain exclusions. At certain locations, individual policies are in place.

Guarantees  

The Operating Partnership may guaranty the debt of a joint venture primarily because it allows the joint venture to obtain funding at a lower cost than could be obtained otherwise. This results in a higher return for the joint venture on its investment, and a higher return on the Operating Partnership's investment in the joint venture. The Operating Partnership may receive a fee from the joint venture for providing the guaranty. Additionally, when the Operating Partnership issues a guaranty, the terms of the joint venture agreement typically provide that the Operating Partnership may receive indemnification from the joint venture or have the ability to increase its ownership interest. The guarantees expire upon repayment of the debt, unless noted otherwise.

The following table represents the Operating Partnership's guarantees of unconsolidated affiliates' debt as reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019:

	As of December 31, 2020									Obligation recorded to reflect guaranty
Unconsolidated Affiliate	Company's Ownership Interest	Outstanding Balance		Percentage Guaranteed by the Operating Partnership		Maximum Guaranteed Amount		Debt Maturity Date (1)		December 31, 2020		December 31, 2019

Total guaranty liability										$	923	$	973

(1) Excludes any extension options.

(2) The loan has two one-year extension options at the joint venture’s election. Subsequent to December 31, 2020, the loan was extended (see Note 20).

(3) Subsequent to December 31, 2020, the loan was extended (see Note 20).

(4) The guarantee is for a fixed amount of $12,740 throughout the term of the loan, including any extensions.

(5) The loan has one one-year extension option, at the joint venture's election, for an outside maturity date of October 2022.

(6) The guarantee may be reduced to 25% once certain debt and operational metrics are met.

(7) The guarantee was increased to 100% as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases filed by the Company.

As described in Note 2, the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases also constituted an event of default with respect to certain property-level debt of the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries, which may have resulted in automatic acceleration of certain monetary obligations or may give the applicable lender the right to accelerate such amounts. There was a default under each of the guaranteed loans above as a result of the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, except for Shoppes at Eagle Point, LLC and Louisville Outlet Shoppes, LLC.

The Company has guaranteed the lease performance of York Town Center, LP ("YTC"), an unconsolidated affiliate in which it owns a 50% interest, under the terms of an agreement with a third party that owns property as part of York Town Center. Under the terms of that agreement, YTC is obligated to cause performance of the third party’s obligations as landlord under its lease with its sole tenant, including, but not limited to, provisions such as co-tenancy and exclusivity requirements. Should YTC fail to cause performance, then the tenant under the third-party landlord’s lease may pursue certain remedies ranging from rights to terminate its lease to receiving reductions in rent. The Company has guaranteed YTC’s performance under this agreement up to a maximum of $22,000, which decreases by $800 annually until the guaranteed amount is reduced to $10,000. The maximum guaranteed obligation was $10,800 as of December 31, 2020. The Company entered into an agreement with its joint venture partner under which the joint venture partner has agreed to reimburse the Company 50% of any amounts it is obligated to fund under the guaranty. The Company did not record a credit loss related to this guarantee as of December 31, 2020.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company evaluated each guarantee, listed in the table above, individually by looking at the debt service ratio, cash flow forecasts, the performance of each loan and, where applicable, the collateral value in relation to the outstanding amount of the loan. The result of the analysis was that each loan is current, performing and, where applicable, the collateral value was greater than the outstanding amount of the loan. The Company did not record a credit loss related to these guarantee as of December 31, 2020.

145

Performance Bonds  

The Company has issued various bonds that it would have to satisfy in the event of non-performance. The total amount outstanding on these bonds was $412 and $13,660 at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

NOTE 17. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company has categorized its financial assets and financial liabilities that are recorded at fair value into a hierarchy in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure, ("ASC 820") based on whether the inputs to valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. The fair value hierarchy contains three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value as follows:

Level 1 - Inputs represent quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities as of the measurement date.

Level 2 - Inputs, other than those included in Level 1, represent observable measurements for similar instruments in active markets, or identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and observable measurements or market data for instruments with substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 - Inputs represent unobservable measurements, supported by little, if any, market activity, and require considerable assumptions that are significant to the fair value of the asset or liability. Market valuations must often be determined using discounted cash flow methodologies, pricing models or similar techniques based on the Company’s assumptions and best judgment.

The asset or liability's fair value within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Under ASC 820, fair value measurements are determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability in an orderly transaction at the measurement date and under current market conditions. Valuation techniques used maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and consider assumptions such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions and risk of nonperformance.

Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are reasonable estimates of their fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments. Based on the interest rates for similar financial instruments, the carrying value of mortgage and other notes receivable is a reasonable estimate of fair value. The estimated fair value of mortgage and other indebtedness was $1,091,745 and $2,970,246 at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The estimated fair value of liabilities subject to compromise was $1,606,959 at December 31, 2020. The fair value was calculated using Level 2 inputs by discounting future cash flows for mortgage and other indebtedness using estimated market rates at which similar loans would be made currently. 

During March 2020, the Company purchased U.S. Treasury securities that are scheduled to mature between April 2021 and June 2021. The Company has designated these securities as available-for-sale (“AFS”). The fair value of these securities was calculated based on quoted market prices in active markets and are included in the Level 1 fair value hierarchy. The Company believes the market for U.S. Treasury securities is an actively traded market given the high level of daily trading volume. In December 2020, the Company purchased additional U.S Treasury securities. The U.S. Treasury securities purchased in December 2020 matured between January 2021 and March 2021, and the Company subsequently reinvested in additional U.S. Treasury securities (see Note 20). The Company has also designated these as AFS. The following table sets forth information regarding the Company’s AFS securities that were measured at fair value for the year ended December 31, 2020:

AFS Security	Amortized Cost		Allowance for credit losses (1)		Total unrealized gains/(losses)		Fair Value

(1) U.S Treasury securities have a long history with no credit losses. Additionally, the Company notes that U.S Treasury securities are explicitly fully guaranteed by a sovereign entity that can print its own currency and that the sovereign entity’s currency is routinely held by central banks and other major financial institutions, is used in international commerce, and commonly viewed as a reserve currency, all of which qualitatively indicate that historical credit loss information should be minimally affected by current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Therefore, the Company did not record expected credit losses for its U.S Treasury securities for the year ended December 31, 2020.   

Fair Value Measurements on a Nonrecurring Basis

The Company measures the fair value of certain long-lived assets on a nonrecurring basis, through quarterly impairment testing or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. The Company’s evaluation of the recoverability of long-lived assets involves the comparison of undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by each property over the Company’s expected remaining holding period to the respective carrying amount. The determination of whether the carrying value is recoverable also requires management to make estimates related to probability weighted scenarios impacting undiscounted cash flow models. The Company considers both quantitative and qualitative factors in its impairment analysis of long-lived assets. Significant quantitative factors include historical and forecasted information for each Property such as NOI, occupancy statistics and sales levels. Significant qualitative factors used include market conditions, age and condition of the Property and tenant mix. The quantitative and qualitative factors impact the selection of the terminal capitalization rate which is used in both an undiscounted and discounted cash flow model and the discount rate used in a discounted cash flow model. Due to the significant unobservable estimates and assumptions used in the valuation of long-lived assets that experience impairment, the Company classifies such long-lived assets under Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Level 3 inputs primarily consist of sales and market data, independent valuations and discounted cash flow models. See below for a description of the estimates and assumptions the Company used in its impairment analysis. See Note 3 for additional information describing the Company's impairment review process.

The following table sets forth information regarding the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and related impairment charges for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019:

(1) The Company adjusted the book value of the mall to the net sales price of $17,640 in a signed contract with a third-party buyer, adjusted for disposition costs. The mall was sold in July 2018. See Note 7 for additional information.

(2) The long-lived asset was not included in the Company's consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2018 as the Company no longer had an interest in the property.

(3) In June 2018, the Company was notified by IKEA that, as a result of a shift in its corporate strategy, it was terminating the contract to purchase land at the mall upon which it would develop and open a store. Under the terms of the interest-only non-recourse loan secured by the mall, the loan matured on the date the IKEA contract terminated if that date was prior to the scheduled maturity date of March 5, 2019. The Company engaged in conversations with the lender regarding a potential restructure of the loan. Based on the results of these conversations, the Company concluded that an impairment was required because it was unlikely to recover the asset's net carrying value through future cash flows. Management determined the fair value of Cary Towne Center using a discounted cash flow methodology. The discounted cash flow used assumptions including a holding period of ten years, a capitalization rate of 12.0% and a discount rate of 13%. In December 2018, the Company adjusted the book value of the property to the net sales price of $30,971 based on a signed contract with a third-party buyer. The property sold in January 2019. See Note 9 for additional information.

(4) In accordance with the Company's quarterly impairment review process, the Company wrote down the book value of land to its estimated value of $8,100. The Company evaluated comparable land parcel transactions and determined that $8,100 was the land's estimated fair value.

(5) The Company adjusted the book value of the anchor parcel and the vacant land to the net sales price of $3,920 in a signed contract with a third party buyer, adjusted to reflect estimated disposition costs. The property was sold in January 2019.

(6) In accordance with the Company's quarterly impairment process, the Company wrote down the book value of the mall to its estimated fair value of $26,450. The mall had experienced a deterioration in cash flows as a result of the downturn of the economy in its market area and four vacant anchors with no active prospects to replace these anchor stores. Management determined the fair value of Eastland Mall using a discounted cash flow methodology. The discount cash flow used assumptions including a holding period of ten years, with a sale at the end of the holding period, a capitalization rate of 15.0% and a discount rate of 17.0%.

(7) In accordance with the Company's quarterly impairment process, the Company wrote down the book value of the mall to its estimated fair value of $16,400. The mall had experienced a decline in cash flows due to store closures and rent reductions. Additionally, two anchors were vacant as of December 31, 2018, and a third anchor announced during the fourth quarter of 2018 that it would be closing during the first quarter of 2019. Management determined the fair value of Honey Creek Mall using a discounted cash flow methodology. The discounted cash flow used assumptions including a holding period of ten years, with a sale at the end of the holding period, a capitalization rate of 18.0% and a discount rate of 20.0%.

(8) The Company adjusted the book value of the land contributed to a joint venture to its agreed upon fair value based on the joint venture agreement with its partner, Continental 425 Fund LLC. See Note 8 for more information.

NOTE 18. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION  

As of December 31, 2020, the Company has outstanding awards under the CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. 2012 Stock Incentive Plan ("the 2012 Plan"), which was approved by the Company's shareholders in May 2012. The 2012 Plan permits the Company to issue stock options and common stock to selected officers, employees and non-employee directors of the Company up to a total of 10,400,000 shares. As the primary operating subsidiary of the Company, the Operating Partnership participates in and bears the compensation expense associated with the Company's share-based compensation plan. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”) administers the 2012 Plan.

In accordance with the provisions of ASU 2016-09, which are designed to simplify the accounting for share-based payments transactions, the Company elected to account for forfeitures of share-based payments as they occur rather than continuing to estimate them in advance.

Restricted Stock Awards  

Under the 2012 Plan, common stock may be awarded either alone, in addition to, or in tandem with other granted stock awards. The Committee has the authority to determine eligible persons to whom common stock will be awarded, the number of shares to be awarded and the duration of the vesting period, as defined. Generally, an award of common stock vests either immediately at grant or in equal installments over a period of five years. Stock awarded to independent directors is fully vested upon grant; however, the independent directors may not transfer such shares during their board term.  The Committee may also provide for the issuance of common stock under the 2012 Plan on a deferred basis pursuant to deferred compensation arrangements. The fair value of common stock awarded under the 2012 Plan is determined based on the market price of CBL’s common stock on the grant date and the related compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period on a straight-line basis. 

The Company may make restricted stock awards to independent directors, officers and its employees under the 2012 Plan. These awards are generally granted based on the performance of the Company and its employees. None of these awards have performance requirements other than a service condition of continued employment, unless otherwise provided. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.

The share-based compensation cost related to the restricted stock awards was $2,239, $3,396 and $3,744 for 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Share-based compensation cost resulting from share-based awards is recorded at the Management Company, which is a taxable entity. Share-based compensation cost capitalized as part of real estate assets was $20, $66 and $287 in 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. 

A summary of the status of the Company’s nonvested restricted stock awards as of December 31, 2020, and changes during the year ended December 31, 2020, is presented below:

	Shares			Weighted- Average Grant-Date Fair Value
Nonvested at January 1, 2020		971,846		$	5.16
Granted		1,628,397		$	0.86
Vested		(1,052,161	)	$	2.86
Forfeited		(28,476	)	$	4.67
Nonvested at December 31, 2020		1,519,606		$	2.15

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of shares granted during 2020, 2019 and 2018 was $0.86, $2.20 and $4.55, respectively. The total fair value of shares vested during 2020, 2019 and 2018 was $951, $3,869 and $2,189, respectively. 

As of December 31, 2020, there was $1,944 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock awards granted under the 2012 Plan, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.2 years.

Long-Term Incentive Program

In 2015, the Company adopted a long-term incentive program ("LTIP") for its named executive officers, which consists of performance stock unit ("PSU") awards and annual restricted stock awards, that may be issued under the 2012 Plan. The number of shares related to the PSU awards that each named executive officer may receive upon the conclusion of a three-year performance period is determined based on the Company's achievement of specified levels of long-term total stockholder return ("TSR") performance relative to the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") Retail Index, provided that at least a "Threshold" level must be attained for any shares to be earned.

150

Beginning with the 2018 PSUs, two-thirds of the quantitative portion of the award over the performance period is based on the achievement of TSR relative to the NAREIT Retail Index while the remaining one-third is based on the achievement of absolute TSR metrics for the Company. Beginning with the 2018 PSU grant, to maintain compliance with a 200,000 share annual equity grant limit (the “Section 162(m) Grant Limit”) that was included in the 2012 Plan to satisfy the “qualified performance-based compensation” exception to the deduction limits for certain executive compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code, to the extent that a grant of PSUs could result in the issuance of a number of shares of common stock at the conclusion of the performance period that, when coupled with the number of shares of time-vesting restricted stock granted in the same year the PSUs were granted, would exceed such limit, any such excess will be converted to a cash bonus award with a value equivalent to the number of shares of common stock constituting such excess times the average of the high and low trading prices reported for CBL's common stock on the date such shares would otherwise have been issuable.

In conjunction with the February 2020 approval of the 2020 LTIP grants for the named executive officers, the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan was amended to remove the Section 162(m) Grant Limit, which no longer served its original purpose because the “qualified performance-based compensation” exception to the Section 162(m) deduction limits was repealed by the 2017 tax reform legislation. However, NYSE rules also include an annual equity grant limit which effectively limits the number of shares that can be subject to stock awards to any individual named executive officer, without additional shareholder approval, to one percent (1%) of the total number of outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “NYSE Annual Grant Limit”). To maintain NYSE compliance following elimination of the Section 162(m) Grant Limit, the Company’s Compensation Committee revised PSU awards under the LTIP, beginning in 2020, to provide that if a grant of PSUs could result in the issuance of a number of shares to a named executive officer at the conclusion of the 3-year performance period that would exceed the NYSE Annual Grant Limit, when coupled with the number of shares subject to other stock awards (e.g., the time-vesting restricted stock component of the LTIP) issued in the same year that such PSUs were issued, any such excess will instead be converted to a cash bonus award, while remaining subject to vesting conditions as described below.

In August 2020, in connection with the execution of the Original RSA that is described in Note 2, the 2020 PSUs were canceled. Based on the Company’s TSR relative to the NAREIT Retail Index for the three year performance period ended December 31, 2020, as well as the Company’s absolute TSR for such period, none of the 2018 PSUs were earned as of December 31, 2020.

Any such portion of the value of the 2019 PSUs earned payable as a cash bonus will be subject to the same vesting provisions as the issuance of common stock pursuant to the PSUs. In addition, to the extent any cash is to be paid, the cash will be paid first relative to the vesting schedule, ahead of the issuance of shares of common stock with respect to the balance of PSUs earned.

Annual Restricted Stock Awards

Under the LTIP, annual restricted stock awards consist of shares of time-vested restricted stock awarded based on a qualitative evaluation of the performance of the Company and the named executive officer during the fiscal year. Annual restricted stock awards under the LTIP, which are included in the totals reflected in the preceding table, vest 20% on the date of grant with the remainder vesting in four equal annual installments. Outstanding restricted stock, and related grant/vesting/forfeiture activity during 2020 for awards made to named executive officers under the LTIP, is included in the information presented in the table above.

151

Performance Stock Units

The Company granted the following PSUs in the first quarter of the respective years. A summary of PSU activity as of December 31, 2020, and changes during the year ended December 31, 2020, is presented below:

	PSUs			Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value
2018 PSUs granted		741,977		$	2.63
2019 PSUs granted (1)		1,103,537		$	2.40
Forfeited		(78,934	)	$	2.63
Outstanding at January 1, 2020		1,766,580		$	2.96
2020 PSUs granted (2)		3,408,083		$	0.84
2018 PSUs canceled (3)		(663,043	)	$	2.63
2020 PSUs canceled		(3,408,083	)	$	0.84
Outstanding at December 31, 2020 (4)		1,103,537		$	3.16

(1) Includes 566,862 shares classified as a liability due to the potential cash component described above.

(2) Includes 1,247,098 shares classified as a liability due to the potential cash component described above.

(3) Based on the Company’s TSR relative to the NAREIT Retail Index for the three-year performance period ended December 31, 2020, none of the 2018 PSUs were earned as of December 31, 2020.

(4) None of the PSUs outstanding at December 31, 2020 were vested.

Shares earned pursuant to the PSU awards vest 60% at the conclusion of the performance period while the remaining 40% of the PSU award vests 20% on each of the first two anniversaries thereafter.

Compensation cost is recognized on a tranche-by-tranche basis using the accelerated attribution method. The resulting expense is recorded regardless of whether any PSU awards are earned as long as the required service period is met.

The fair value of the potential cash component related to the 2019 PSUs is measured each reporting period, using the same methodology as was used at the initial grant date, and classified as a liability on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 with an adjustment to compensation expense. If the performance criterion is not satisfied at the end of the performance period for the 2019 PSUs, previously recognized compensation expense related to the liability-classified awards would be reversed as there would be no value at the settlement date.

Share-based compensation expense related to the PSUs was $3,185, $1,564 and $1,364 in 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Share-based compensation expense in 2020 included $2,052 of expense related to the cancellation of the 2020 PSUs. Unrecognized compensation costs related to the PSUs was $567 as of December 31, 2020, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.8 years.

The following table summarizes the assumptions used in the Monte Carlo simulation pricing model related to the PSUs:

	2020 PSUs			2019 PSUs			2018 PSUs
Grant date	February 10, 2020 (1)			February 11, 2019			February 12, 2018 (2)
Fair value per share on valuation date (3)	$	0.84		$	4.74		$	4.76
Risk-free interest rate (4)		1.39	%		2.54	%		2.36	%
Expected share price volatility (5)		57.98	%		60.99	%		42.02	%

(1) The 2020 PSU awards were cancelled in August 2020.

(2) Based on the Company’s TSR relative to the NAREIT Retail Index for the three-year performance period ended December 31, 2020, none of the 2018 PSUs were earned as of December 31, 2020.

(3) The value of the PSU awards is estimated on the date of grant using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The valuation consists of computing the fair value using CBL's simulated stock price as well as TSR over a three-year performance period. The award is modeled as a contingent claim in that the expected return on the underlying shares is risk-free and the rate of discounting the payoff of the award is also risk-free.

(4) The risk-free interest rate was based on the yield curve on zero-coupon U.S. Treasury securities in effect as of the valuation date, which is the respective grant date listed above.

(5) The computation of expected volatility was based on a blend of the historical volatility of CBL's shares of common stock based on annualized daily total continuous returns over a five-year period for the 2020 PSUs and a three-year period for the 2019 and 2018 PSUs and implied volatility data based on the trailing month average of daily implied volatilities implied by stock call option contracts that were both closest to the terms shown and closest to the money.

NOTE 19. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS  

401(k) Plan  

The Management Company maintains a 401(k) profit sharing plan, which is qualified under Section 401(a) and Section 401(k) of the Code to cover employees of the Management Company. All employees who have attained the age of 21 and have completed at least 60 days of service are eligible to participate in the plan. The plan provides for employer matching contributions on behalf of each participant equal to 50% of the portion of such participant’s contribution that does not exceed 2.5% of such participant’s annual gross salary for the plan year. The Company temporarily suspended the employer matching contribution in April 2020 through August 2020 due to cost reduction measures in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, the Management Company has the discretion to make additional profit-sharing-type contributions not related to participant elective contributions. Total contributions by the Management Company were $650, $921 and $1,003 in 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. 

Employee Stock Purchase Plan  

The Company maintains an employee stock purchase plan that allows eligible employees to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock in the open market without incurring brokerage or transaction fees. Under the plan, eligible employees make payroll deductions that are used to purchase shares of CBL’s common stock. The shares are purchased at the prevailing market price of the stock at the time of purchase.

In connection with the Chapter 11 Cases, the employee stock purchase plan has been suspended indefinitely.

NOTE 20. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In March 2021, the Company entered into the Amended RSA with its credit facility lenders and unsecured noteholders that provides for a fully consensual comprehensive restructuring. The Amended RSA was entered into by the Company, the Bank Lenders representing more than 96% (including joinders) of the outstanding balance of its secured credit facility and the Consenting Noteholders representing in excess of 69% (including joinders) of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes. The Amended RSA represents a comprehensive settlement between the parties of substantially all key issues relating to the Chapter 11 Cases, including the ongoing litigation between the Company and the Bank Lenders arising from the prepetition enforcement actions taken by the Bank Lenders.    

The terms of the Amended RSA outline a revised plan for restructuring the Company’s balance sheet that provides for the elimination of more than $1,681,900 of debt and preferred obligations as well as a significant reduction in interest expense. In exchange for their approximately $1,375,000 in principal amount of senior unsecured notes and $133,000 in principal amount of the secured credit facility, Consenting Noteholders will receive, in the aggregate, $95,000 in cash, $555,000 of new senior secured notes, of which up to $100,000, upon election by the Consenting Noteholders, may be received in the form of new convertible secured notes and 89% in common equity of the newly reorganized Company. Certain Consenting Noteholders will also provide up to $50,000 of new money in exchange for additional convertible secured notes. The Amended RSA provides that the remaining Bank Lenders, holding $983,700 in principal amount under the secured credit facility, will receive $100,000 in cash and a new $883,700 secured term loan. Existing common and preferred stakeholders are expected to receive up to 11% of common equity in the newly reorganized company. The Amended RSA is subject to Bankruptcy Court approval, which the Company will seek in accordance with the terms of the Amended RSA.

During January 2021, the Company purchased $21,999 in U.S. Treasury securities that matured in February 2021. During February 2021, the Company purchased $31,999 in U.S. Treasury securities that matured in March 2021. During March 2021, the Company purchased $82,393 in U.S. Treasury securities that are scheduled to mature in June 2021. The Company designated the U.S. Treasury securities purchased in these transactions as available-for-sale.

In March 2021, the Company reached agreements with the lenders to modify the loans secured by Hammock Landing Phases I & II and The Pavilion at Port Orange. Each agreement provides an additional four-year term, with a one-year extension option, for a fully extended maturity date of February 2026. These loans had a combined outstanding loan balance of $107,833 at December 31, 2020.

153

In March 2021, the Company reached an agreement with the lender to modify the loan secured by Ambassador Infrastructure. The agreement provides an additional four-year term with a fixed interest rate of 3.0%. The extended loan, maturing in March 2025, has an outstanding balance of $8,250, as $1,110 was paid down in conjunction with the modification.

In January 2021, Asheville Mall was turned over to a receiver to manage the property.

In March 2021, Park Plaza was turned over to a receiver to manage the property.

EX-10.4.1

Exhibit 10.4.1

SUMMARY DESCRIPTION OF CBL & ASSOCIATES PROPERTIES, INC

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENTS

In December 2020, upon the recommendation of the Company’s Compensation Committee, the Board of Directors voted to add a Monthly Service Fee to the schedule of fees that had been in effect since January 1, 2017 governing the cash portion of the Company’s compensation arrangements for each Director (other than Scott D. Vogel) not employed by the Company (a “Non-Employee Director”).  The new fee went into effect as of November 1, 2020.

Additionally, in December 2020, upon recommendation of the Compensation Committee, the Board of Directors voted to eliminate payment of the annual award of shares of restricted Common Stock pursuant to the Company’s 2012 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, that otherwise would have continued to be awarded each Non-Employee Director of the Company (other than Scott D. Vogel) at the conclusion of each year having a value of $100,000, beginning with the year ended December 31, 2020.

Non-Employee Director Compensation Fees in effect as of November 1, 2020 are as follows:

Description	Non-Employee Director Fees (1)
Annual Fee for each Non-Employee Director	$40,000
Monthly Service Fee for each Non-Employee Director	$10,000
Annual Audit Committee Member Fee	$20,000
Annual Committee Member Fee (Compensation Committee; Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee; Executive Committee; Capital Allocation Committee) (2)	$15,000
Annual Fee – Audit Committee Chairman (2))	$25,000
Annual Fee – Compensation Committee Chairman (2)	$20,000
Annual Fee – Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee Chairman (2)	$20,000
Annual Fee – Capital Allocation Committee Chairman (2)	$20,000
Annual Fee - Lead Independent Director	$25,000

(1) All Non-Employee Directors receive the fees outlined above except for Scott D. Vogel, who is compensated as described under “Cash Compensation Arrangements for Director Scott D. Vogel” below.

(2) Each Committee Chair receives the stated annual fee in lieu of the applicable annual Committee Member fee.  The Capital Allocation Committee was added in November 2019.  Only Non-Employee Director members of the Capital Allocation Committee receive the fees reflected in table; Company employees receive no additional compensation for service in ex officio roles on Board Committees.

Each Non-Employee director also receives reimbursement of expenses incurred in attending meetings.

Impact of 2020 COVID-19 Cost Reduction Program

In April 2020, as part of a comprehensive cost reduction program put in place by the Company to help mitigate the effect the COVID-19 pandemic had on the Company and its operations, the Board of Directors voted to temporarily reduce Non-Employee Director compensation.  The temporary fee reduction was in place from April 1, 2020 through August 31, 2020.  Non-Employee Director fees were reduced by 50% for two months and 10% for the remainder of the program.  Full Non-Employee Director fees resumed September 1, 2020.

Non-Employee Director Stock Grants

Prior to the changes made in December 2020, effective January 1, 2017, pursuant to the terms of the Company’s 2012 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, each Non-Employee Director received an annual award of shares of restricted Common Stock of the Company at the conclusion of each year (which may be payable on the first trading day of the next succeeding calendar year) having a value of $100,000, with the number of shares granted to be based on the average of the high and low trading prices for the Company’s Common Stock on the grant date.

Additionally, effective as of January 1, 2017, any Non-Employee Director that may join the Company in the future will, upon joining the Board of Directors, receive an initial grant of shares of restricted Common Stock of the Company pursuant to the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, having a value of $25,000, with the number of shares granted to be based on the average of the high and low trading prices for the Company’s Common Stock on the grant date.

The restrictions on shares of Common Stock received by the Non-Employee Directors set forth in the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, provide that such shares may not be transferred during the Non-Employee Director’s term and, upon a Non-Employee Director ceasing to be a member of the Board, all transfer restrictions concerning such Non-Employee Director Shares shall immediately be removed, and such shares shall thereupon be freely transferrable by the Non-Employee Director or by his or her estate or legal representative, as applicable. Each holder of a Non-Employee Director option granted pursuant to the above-stated arrangement has the same rights as other holders of options in the event of a change in control. Options granted to the Non-Employee Directors (i) shall have a term of 10 years from date of grant, (ii) are 100% vested upon grant, (iii) are non-forfeitable prior to the expiration of the term except upon the Non-Employee Director’s conviction for any criminal activity involving the Company or, if non-exercised, within one year following the date the Non-Employee Director ceases to be a director of the Company, and (iv) are non-transferable.

Cash Compensation Arrangements for Director Scott D. Vogel

In connection with the appointment of Scott D. Vogel to the Board of Directors, effective October 7, 2020, the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors determined that Mr. Vogel would be compensated through cash payments of $35,000 per month made to Vogel Enterprises, LLC, a limited liability company of which Mr. Vogel is the sole member, in lieu of the Company’s standard cash compensation arrangements for Non-Employee Directors. Mr. Vogel will receive a minimum of six month’s cash compensation ($210,000), unless he voluntarily resigns from the Company’s Board of Directors prior to April 7, 2021. It also was determined at that time that Mr. Vogel would not receive any of the equity grants normally provided for Non-Employee Directors pursuant to the terms of the Company’s 2012 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended.

Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract]

ORGANIZATION

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION

CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. ("CBL"), a Delaware corporation, is a self-managed, self-administered, fully-integrated real estate investment trust ("REIT") that is engaged in the ownership, development, acquisition, leasing, management and operation of regional shopping malls, open-air and mixed-use centers, outlet centers, associated centers, community centers, office buildings and other properties. Its Properties are located in 24 states, but are primarily in the southeastern and midwestern United States.

CBL conducts substantially all of its business through CBL & Associates Limited Partnership (the "Operating Partnership"), which is a variable interest entity ("VIE"). The Operating Partnership consolidates the financial statements of all entities in which it has a controlling financial interest or where it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. As of December 31, 2020, the Operating Partnership owned interests in the following Properties:

			All Other Properties
	Malls (1)		Associated Centers		Community Centers		Office Buildings and Other			Total
Consolidated Properties		51		20		1		4	(2)		76
Unconsolidated Properties (3)		10		3		5		4			22
Total		61		23		6		8			98

(1) Category consists of regional malls, open-air centers and outlet centers (including one mixed-use center) (the "Malls").

(2) Includes CBL's two corporate office buildings.

(3) The Operating Partnership accounts for these investments using the equity method because one or more of the other partners have substantive participating rights.

The Malls, All Other Properties ("Associated Centers, Community Centers, Office Buildings and Other") and the Construction Properties are collectively referred to as the “Properties” and individually as a “Property.”

CBL is the 100% owner of two qualified REIT subsidiaries, CBL Holdings I, Inc. and CBL Holdings II, Inc. At December 31, 2020, CBL Holdings I, Inc., the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, owned a 1.0% general partner interest in the Operating Partnership and CBL Holdings II, Inc. owned a 96.5% limited partner interest for a combined interest held by CBL of 97.5%.

Historically, the noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership has been held by CBL & Associates, Inc., its shareholders and affiliates and certain senior officers of the Company (collectively "CBL's Predecessor"), all of which contributed their interests in certain real estate properties and joint ventures to the Operating Partnership in exchange for a limited partner interest when the Operating Partnership was formed in November 1993, and by various third parties. During 2020, the Company issued 20,956,110 shares of the Company’s common stock to 31 holders of 20,956,110 common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership in connection with the exercise of the holders’ contractual exchange rights. At December 31, 2020, CBL’s Predecessor no longer owned any limited partner interest and third parties owned a 2.5% limited partner interest in the Operating Partnership. CBL's Predecessor owned 20.1 million shares of CBL’s common stock at December 31, 2020, for an interest of 10.2% in the Operating Partnership.

As used herein, the term "Company" includes CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including CBL & Associates Limited Partnership and its subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise. The term "Operating Partnership" refers to CBL & Associates Limited Partnership and its subsidiaries.

The Operating Partnership conducts the Company's property management and development activities through its wholly owned subsidiary, CBL & Associates Management, Inc. (the “Management Company"), to comply with certain requirements of the Internal Revenue Code.

Bankruptcy Accounting

The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared as if the Company were a going concern and in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic No. 852 – Reorganizations (“ASC 852”). See Note 2 for additional details regarding the bankruptcy. As a result, the Company has segregated prepetition unsecured or under secured liabilities and obligations whose treatment and

satisfaction are dependent on the outcome of the Chapter 11 proceedings and have classified these items as “Liabilities subject to compromise” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. In addition, the Company has classified all expenses that were incurred as a result of the Chapter 11 proceedings since filing as “Reorganization items” in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. In addition to expenses, reorganization items can include realized gains or losses, such as the unamortized deferred financing costs and debt discount charges. Also, the Company has classified all expenses that were realized or incurred prior to November 1, 2020 in relation to the Company’s efforts to restructure its corporate-level debt as “Prepetition charges” in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and likely will continue to have, repercussions across local, national and global economies and financial markets. COVID-19 has impacted all states where the Company’s tenants operate their businesses or where the Company’s properties are located and measures taken to prevent or remediate COVID-19, including “shelter-in place” or “stay-at-home” orders or other quarantine mandates issued by local, state or federal authorities, have had an adverse effect on its business and the businesses of its tenants. The full extent of the adverse impact on, among other things, the Company’s results of operations, liquidity (including its ability to access capital markets), the possibility of future impairments of long-lived assets or its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, its compliance with debt covenants, its ability to renew and re-lease its leased space, the outlook for the retail environment, potential bankruptcies or other store closings and its ability to develop, acquire, dispose or lease properties, is unknown and will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. State and local governments and other authorities are in varying stages of lifting or modifying some of the measures used to mitigate or control the spread of the virus. Even though vaccines have started to be administered, the COVID-19 pandemic could worsen at any time, which could cause new or more restrictive measures to be implemented to prevent the spread of the virus. Tenants and customers have gradually adapted to current conditions with services such as curbside pickup and increased consumer risk-tolerance, but there is no guarantee that retail will return to levels seen prior to the pandemic. The Company has experienced, and expects to continue to experience, a material adverse impact on its revenues, results of operations, and cash flows into 2021. The situation is rapidly changing and additional impacts to the business may arise that the Company is not aware of currently.

On October 28, 2020, the Operating Partnership was notified by the administrative agent and lenders that they elected to exercise their rights pursuant to the terms of the secured credit facility to (i) require that rents payable by tenants at the properties that are collateral to the secured credit facility be paid directly to the administrative agent and (ii) exercise all voting rights and other ownership rights in respect of all the equity interests in the subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership that are guarantors of the secured credit facility.

Beginning on November 1, 2020 (the “Commencement Date”), CBL and the Operating Partnership, together with certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”), filed voluntary petitions (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) under chapter 11 of title 11 (“Chapter 11”) of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Debtors are authorized to continue to operate their businesses and manage their properties as debtors-in-possession pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors’ Chapter 11 Cases are being jointly administered for procedural purposes only under the caption In re CBL & Associates Properties, Inc., et al., Case No. 20-35226. 

The filing of the Chapter 11 Cases constituted an event of default that results in the automatic acceleration of certain monetary obligations to be immediately due and payable with respect to the secured credit facility and the senior unsecured notes. On November 2, 2020, the Company filed an adversary proceeding in the Bankruptcy Court seeking among other

things, a temporary restraining order (the “Order”) and for a preliminary injunction to enjoin, pending a determination of the parties’ rights, the administrative agent or any of its officers, agents, servants, attorneys and successors from taking any action to exercise any and all remedies under the terms of the secured credit facility or other agreements as a result of the events of default asserted by the administrative agent, or any other right or remedy that would otherwise accompany the occurrence of an event of default, including without limitation, any rights of acceleration under the terms of the secured credit facility, rights flowing from the notice of acceleration, rights exercised pursuant to the Notice of Exercise or any other rights or remedies properly exercisable solely upon an actual or determined event of default. On November 2, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court granted the Order, and the Bankruptcy Court took up the other pending claims during the adversarial proceeding, which has now been stayed pending the confirmation of the Company’s plan, discussed below.

Following the Commencement Date, the Bankruptcy Court entered certain interim and final orders facilitating the Debtors’ operational transition into Chapter 11. These orders authorized the Debtors to, among other things, pay certain prepetition employee expenses and benefits, use their existing cash management system, maintain and administer customer programs, pay certain critical service providers, honor insurance-related obligations, and pay certain prepetition taxes and related fees on a final basis.

After engaging in negotiations in a Bankruptcy Court-ordered mediation, on March 21, 2021 (the “Agreement Effective Date”), the Company entered into the First Amended and Restated Restructuring Support Agreement (the “Amended RSA”), with the Consenting Noteholders in excess of 69% (including joinders) of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes and certain lenders party to the Company’s secured credit facility who hold in the aggregate in excess of 96% (including joinders) of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of debt under the secured credit facility (the “Consenting Bank Lenders” and together with the Consenting Noteholders, the “Consenting Stakeholders”). The Amended RSA amends and restates the Original RSA and sets forth, subject to certain conditions, the commitments to and obligations of, on the one hand, the Company, and on the other hand, the Consenting Noteholders and Consenting Bank Lenders, in connection with the restructuring transactions (the “Restructuring Transactions”) set forth in the Amended RSA and the plan term sheet attached as Exhibit B to the Amended RSA (the “Plan Term Sheet”). The Amended RSA contemplates that the restructuring and recapitalization of the Debtors will occur through a joint plan of reorganization in the Chapter 11 Cases (the “Amended Plan”).

The Amended RSA requires that the Company file the Amended Plan and related disclosure statement no later than 25 days following the Agreement Effective Date and under the Amended RSA the Company must seek to have the Amended Plan confirmed and declared effective no later than November 1, 2021. Before a Bankruptcy Court will confirm the Amended Plan, the Bankruptcy Code requires at least one “impaired” class of claims votes to accept the Amended Plan. A class of claims votes to “accept” the Amended Plan if voting creditors that hold a majority in number and two-thirds in amount of claims in that class approve the Amended Plan. The Amended RSA requires the Consenting Stakeholders vote in favor of and support the Amended Plan. As of the date hereof, the Consenting Bank Lenders and Consenting Noteholders each represent the requisite amount of claims necessary to accept the Amended Plan in each of their respective classes. For the foregoing reasons, among others, the Debtors believe that they will be able to confirm the Amended Plan in the Chapter 11 Cases. The Amended RSA provides that the ongoing litigation between the Company and the lenders of the Company’s secured credit facility (the “Bank Lenders”) arising from the prepetition enforcement actions taken by the Bank Lenders is stayed and is to be dismissed upon the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of the Amended Plan.

Under the Amended RSA, the proposed Amended Plan will provide for the elimination of more than $1,681,900 of debt and preferred obligations as well as a significant reduction in interest expense. In exchange for their approximately $1,375,000 in principal amount of senior unsecured notes and $133,000 in principal amount of the secured credit facility, Consenting Noteholders and other noteholders will receive, in the aggregate, $95,000 in cash, $555,000 of new senior secured notes, of which up to $100,000, upon election by the Consenting Noteholders, may be received in the form of new convertible secured notes and 89% in common equity of the newly reorganized Company. Certain Consenting Noteholders will also provide up to $50,000 of new money in exchange for additional convertible secured notes. The transactions outlined in the Amended RSA will be implemented in the Chapter 11 Cases and pursuant to the Amended Plan. The Amended RSA provides that the remaining Bank Lenders, holding $983,700 in principal amount under the secured credit facility, will receive $100,000 in cash and a new $883,700 secured term loan. Existing common and preferred stakeholders are expected to receive up to 11% of common equity in the newly reorganized company. The Amended RSA is subject to Bankruptcy Court approval, which the Company will seek in accordance with the terms of the Amended RSA.

The Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome of its Chapter 11 Cases at this time. For the duration of the Company’s Chapter 11 proceedings, the Company’s operations and ability to develop and execute its business plan are subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with the Chapter 11 process. As a result of these risks and uncertainties, the amount and composition of the Company’s assets, liabilities, officers and/or directors could be significantly different following the outcome of the Chapter 11 proceedings, and the description of the Company’s operations, properties and

liquidity and capital resources included in this annual report may not accurately reflect its operations, properties and liquidity and capital resources following the Chapter 11 process.

In particular, subject to certain exceptions, under the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors may assume, assume and assign or reject executory contracts and unexpired leases subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court and certain other conditions. Generally, the rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease is treated as a prepetition breach of such executory contract or unexpired lease and, subject to certain exceptions, relieves the Debtors of performing their future obligations under such executory contract or unexpired lease but entitles the contract counterparty or lessor to a prepetition general unsecured claim for damages caused by such deemed breach subject, in the case of the rejection of unexpired leases of real property, to certain caps on damages. Counterparties to such rejected contracts or leases may assert unsecured claims in the Bankruptcy Court against the applicable Debtor’s estate for such damages. Generally, the assumption or assumption and assignment of an executory contract or unexpired lease requires the Debtors to cure existing monetary defaults under such executory contract or unexpired lease and provide adequate assurance of future performance thereunder. Accordingly, any description of an executory contract or unexpired lease with the Debtors in this annual report, including where applicable a quantification of the Company’s obligations under any such executory contract or unexpired lease with the Debtors is qualified by any overriding rights the Company has under the Bankruptcy Code. Further, nothing herein is or shall be deemed an admission with respect to any claim amounts or calculations arising from the assumption, assumption and assignment or rejection of any executory contract or unexpired lease and the Debtors expressly preserve all of their rights with respect thereto.

Liquidity and Going Concern Considerations

In accordance with the accounting guidance related to the presentation of financial statements, when preparing financial statements for each annual and interim reporting period, management evaluates whether there are conditions or events that, when considered in the aggregate, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. In making its assessment, management considered the Company’s current financial condition and liquidity sources, as well as the status of the Chapter 11 Cases.

The filing of the Chapter 11 Cases by the Debtors constituted an event of default that results in the automatic acceleration of certain monetary obligations to be immediately due and payable with respect to the secured credit facility and the senior unsecured notes. The filing of the Chapter 11 Cases also constituted an event of default with respect to certain property-level debt of the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries, which may result in acceleration of the outstanding principal and other sums due. See Note 8 and Note 9 for further discussion.

Given the acceleration of the secured credit facility, the senior unsecured notes and certain property-level debt, as well as the inherent risks, unknown results and inherent uncertainties associated with the bankruptcy process and the direct correlation between these matters and the Company’s ability to satisfy its financial obligations that may arise, the Company believes that there is substantial doubt that it will continue to operate as a going concern within one year after the date these consolidated financial statements are issued. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon its ability to successfully implement the Amended Plan set forth in the Amended RSA, which is pending approval of the Bankruptcy Court. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments related to the recoverability of assets and satisfaction of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Delisting of Common Stock and Depositary Shares

On November 2, 2020, the NYSE announced that (i) it had suspended trading in the Company’s stock and (ii) it had determined to commence proceedings to delist the Company’s common stock, as well as the depositary shares each representing a 1/10th fractional share of the Company’s 7.375% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Series D Preferred Stock”) and the depositary shares each representing a 1/10th fractional share of the Company’s 6.625% Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Series E Preferred Stock”), due to such securities no longer being suitable for listing based on “abnormally low” trading price levels, pursuant to Section 802.01D of the NYSE Listed Company Manual. The Company has appealed this decision in accordance with NYSE rules, and the appeal is still in process. In the meantime, effective November 3, 2020, the Company’s common stock and the depositary shares representing fractional interests in its Series D Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock began trading on the OTC Markets, operated by the OTC Markets Group, Inc., under the symbols “CBLAQ”, “CBLDQ” and “CBLEQ”, respectively. A delisting of the Company’s common stock from the NYSE could negatively impact it by, among other things, reducing the trading liquidity of, and the market price for, its common stock.

Prepetition Charges

Expenses that were realized or incurred prior to November 1, 2020 in relation to the Company’s efforts to restructure its corporate-level debt are recorded in the line item “Prepetition charges” in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The $23,883 of prepetition charges primarily consists of professional fees.

Reorganization Items

Any expenses, gains and losses that are realized or incurred as of or subsequent to November 1, 2020, the petition date, and as a direct result of the Chapter 11 Cases, are recorded in the line item “Reorganization items” in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The $35,977 of reorganization items consists of $10,347 in professional fees, $25,294 of unamortized deferred financing costs and debt discounts related to the secured credit facility and the senior unsecured notes, as well as $336 of U.S. Trustee fees.

Liabilities Subject to Compromise

The Company has reclassified $2,551,490 to the line item “Liabilities subject to compromise” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. These liabilities are reported at the amounts expected to be allowed as claims by the Bankruptcy Court, although they may be settled for less. As of December 31, 2020, the liabilities subject to compromise consisted of $1,375,000 related to the senior unsecured notes, $675,926 related to the secured line of credit, $438,750 related to the secured term loan, $57,644 in unpaid accrued interest as of the Commencement Date and $4,170 of prepetition unsecured or under secured liabilities.

The contractual interest expense on the senior unsecured notes and secured credit facility is in excess of recorded interest expense by $30,084 for the year ended December 31, 2020. This excess contractual interest expense is not included as interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 because the Company discontinued accruing interest on the senior unsecured notes and the secured credit facility subsequent to the Commencement Date in accordance with ASC 852, which limits the recognition of interest expense during a bankruptcy proceeding to only amounts that will be paid during the bankruptcy proceeding or that are probable of becoming allowed claims. The Company has not made any interest payments on its senior unsecured notes or its secured credit facility since the Chapter 11 Cases commenced on November 1, 2020.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

This Form 10-K provides separate consolidated financial statements for the Company and the Operating Partnership. Due to the Company's ability as general partner to control the Operating Partnership, the Company consolidates the Operating Partnership within its consolidated financial statements for financial reporting purposes. The notes to consolidated financial statements apply to both the Company and the Operating Partnership, unless specifically noted otherwise.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of the Company, the Operating Partnership and their wholly owned subsidiaries, as well as entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest or entities where the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE. For entities in which the Company has less than a controlling financial interest or entities where the Company is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE, the entities are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, the Company's share of the net earnings or losses of these entities is included in consolidated net income (loss). The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

Accounting Guidance Adopted    

Description	Expected Adoption Date & Application Method	Financial Statement Effect and Other Information
Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments	January 1, 2020 - Modified Retrospective	The guidance replaced the current incurred loss impairment model, which reflects credit events, with a current expected credit loss model, which recognizes an allowance for credit losses based on an entity’s estimate of contractual cash flows not expected to be collected. The Company has determined that its available-for-sale debt securities, guarantees, mortgage and other notes receivable and receivables within the scope of ASC 606 fall under the scope of this standard. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or disclosures.
ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement	January 1, 2020 - Prospective	The guidance eliminates, adds and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. Entities no longer are required to disclose the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy, but public companies are required to disclose the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or disclosures.
ASU 2018-15, Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract	January 1, 2020 - Prospective	The guidance addresses diversity in practice in accounting for the costs of implementation activities in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract. Under the guidance, the Company is to follow Subtopic 350-40 on internal-use software to determine which implementation costs to capitalize and which to expense. The guidance also requires an entity to expense capitalized implementation costs over the term of the hosting arrangement and include that expense in the same line item as the fees associated with the service element of the arrangement. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

Lease Modification Q&A	April 1, 2020 – Prospective	In April 2020, the FASB issued a question-and-answer document (the “Lease Modification Q&A”) focused on the application of lease accounting guidance related to lease concessions provided as a result of COVID-19. Under existing lease guidance, the Company would have to determine, on a lease by lease basis, if a lease concession was the result of a new arrangement reached with the tenant (treated within the lease modification accounting framework) or if a lease concession was under the enforceable rights and obligations within the existing lease agreement (precluded from applying the lease modification accounting framework). The Lease Modification Q&A clarifies that entities may elect to not evaluate whether lease-related relief that lessors provide to mitigate the economic effects of COVID-19 on lessees is a lease modification under Topic 842, Leases. Instead, an entity that elects not to evaluate whether a concession directly related to COVID-19 is a modification can then elect whether to apply the modification guidance (i.e. assume the relief was always contemplated by the contract or assume the relief was not contemplated by the contract). Both lessees and lessors may make this election. The Company has elected to apply the relief provided under the Lease Modification Q&A and will avail itself of the election to avoid performing a lease by lease analysis for the lease concessions that were (1) granted as relief due to the COVID-19 pandemic and (2) result in the cash flows remaining substantially the same or less than the original contract. The Lease Modification Q&A had a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020. However, its future impact to the Company is dependent upon the extent of lease concessions granted to tenants as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in future periods and the elections made by the Company at the time of entering such concessions. The Lease Modification Q&A allows the Company to determine accounting policy elections at a disaggregated level, and the elections should be applied consistently by either the type of concession, underlying asset class or on another reasonable basis. As a result, the Company has made the following policy elections based on the type of concession agreed to with the respective tenant. Rent Deferrals The Company will account for rental deferrals using the receivables model as described within the Lease Modification Q&A. Under the receivables model, the Company will continue to recognize lease revenue in a manner that is unchanged from the original lease agreement and continue to recognize lease receivables and rental revenue during the deferral period. Rent Abatements The Company will account for rental abatements using the negative variable income model as described within the Lease Modification Q&A. Under the negative variable income model, the Company will recognize negative variable rent for the current period reduction of rental revenue associated with any lease concessions it provides.
		At December 31, 2020, the Company’s receivables included $18,526 related to receivables that had been deferred and are to be repaid generally throughout 2021, and extending for a portion of 2022. The Company granted abatements of $25,439 during the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company continues to assess rent relief requests from its tenants but is unable to predict the resolution or impact of these discussions. For agreements that are currently under negotiation, the Company does not expect the impact to be material.
Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted
Description		Financial Statement Effect and Other Information
ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform		On March 12, 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) - Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or other reference rates expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. This ASU is effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company has not adopted any of the optional expedients or exceptions as of December 31, 2020, but will continue to evaluate the possible adoption of any such expedients or exceptions during the effective period to determine the impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Real Estate Assets  

The Company capitalizes predevelopment project costs paid to third parties. All previously capitalized predevelopment costs are expensed when it is no longer probable that the project will be completed. Once development of a project commences, all direct costs incurred to construct the project, including interest and real estate taxes, are capitalized. Additionally, certain general and administrative expenses are allocated to the projects and capitalized based on the amount of time applicable personnel work on the development project. Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Major replacements and improvements are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives.

All acquired real estate assets have been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting and accordingly, the results of operations are included in the consolidated statements of operations from the respective dates of acquisition. The Company allocates the purchase price to (i) tangible assets, consisting of land, buildings and improvements, as if vacant, and tenant improvements, and (ii) identifiable intangible assets and liabilities, generally consisting of above-market leases, in-place leases and tenant relationships, which are included in intangible lease assets and other assets, and below-market leases, which are included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The Company uses estimates of fair value based on estimated cash flows, using appropriate discount rates, and other valuation techniques to allocate the purchase price to the acquired tangible and intangible assets. Liabilities assumed generally consist of mortgage debt on the real estate assets acquired. Assumed debt is recorded at its fair value based on estimated market interest rates at the date of acquisition. The Company expects its future acquisitions will be accounted for as acquisitions of assets in which related transaction costs will be capitalized.

Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over estimated lives of 40 years for buildings, 10 to 20 years for certain improvements and 7 to 10 years for equipment and fixtures. Tenant improvements are capitalized and depreciated on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease. Lease-related intangibles from acquisitions of real estate assets are generally amortized over the remaining terms of the related leases. The amortization of above- and below-market leases is recorded as an adjustment to rental revenue, while the amortization of all other lease-related intangibles is recorded as

amortization expense. Any difference between the face value of the debt assumed and its fair value is amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the debt using the effective interest method.

The Company’s intangibles and their balance sheet classifications as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, are summarized as follows:

	December 31, 2020					December 31, 2019
	Cost		Accumulated Amortization			Cost		Accumulated Amortization
Intangible lease assets and other assets:
Above-market leases	$	18,416	$	(16,395	)	$	21,098	$	(18,559	)
In-place leases		59,472		(53,790	)		66,309		(58,559	)
Tenant relationships		34,630		(7,909	)		38,880		(10,834	)
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities:
Below-market leases		42,274		(36,224	)		46,554		(38,052	)

These intangibles are related to specific tenant leases. Should a termination occur earlier than the date indicated in the lease, the related unamortized intangible assets or liabilities, if any, related to the lease are recorded as expense or income, as applicable. The total net amortization expense of the above intangibles was $1,460, $4,506 and $13,282 in 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The estimated total net amortization expense for the next five succeeding years is $1,326 in 2021, $1,071 in 2022, $872 in 2023, $854 in 2024 and $817 in 2025.

Total interest expense capitalized was $1,640, $2,504 and $3,225 in 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Accounts Receivable

Receivables include amounts billed and currently due from tenants pursuant to lease agreements and receivables attributable to straight-line rents associated with those lease agreements. Individual leases where the collection of rents is in dispute are assessed for collectability based on management’s best estimate of collection considering the anticipated outcome of the dispute. Individual leases that are not in dispute are assessed for collectability and upon the determination that the collection of rents over the remaining lease term is not probable, accounts receivable are reduced as an adjustment to rental revenues. Revenue from leases where collection is deemed to be less than probable is recorded on a cash basis until collectability is determined to be probable. Further, management assesses whether operating lease receivables, at a portfolio level, are appropriately valued based upon an analysis of balances outstanding, historical collection levels and current economic trends. An allowance for the uncollectable portion of the portfolio is recorded as an adjustment to rental revenues. Management’s estimate of the collectability of accounts receivable from tenants is based on the best information available to management at the time of evaluation.

The duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the Company’s tenants’ ability to pay rents has caused uncertainty in the Company’s ongoing ability to collect rents when due. Considering the potential impact of these uncertainties, management’s collection assessment also took into consideration the type of retailer, billing disputes, lease negotiation status and executed deferral or abatement agreements, as well as recent rent collection experience and tenant bankruptcies based on the best information available to management at the time of evaluation. For the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded $48,240 and $3,463, respectively, associated with uncollectable revenues, which includes $5,603 for straight line rent receivables for the year ended December 31, 2020.

The following table sets forth the activity for the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts:

	Year Ended December 31,
	2019			2018 (1)
Tenant receivables - allowance for doubtful    accounts:
Balance, beginning of year	$	2,337		$	2,011

The Company evaluates its real estate assets for impairment indicators whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of any of its long-lived assets may not be recoverable. Furthermore, this evaluation is conducted no less frequently than quarterly, irrespective of changes in circumstances. The prolonged outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in sustained closure of the Company’s properties for a period of time, as well as the cessation of the operations of certain of its tenants, which has resulted and will likely continue to result in a reduction in the revenues and cash flows of many of its properties due to the adverse financial impacts on its tenants, as well as reductions in other sources of income generated by its properties. In addition to reduced revenues, the Company’s ability to obtain sufficient financing for such properties may be impaired as well as its ability to lease or re-lease properties as a result of worsening market and economic conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company’s evaluation of impairment of real estate assets considered its estimate of cash flow declines caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, but its other assumptions, including estimated hold period, were generally unchanged given the highly uncertain environment. The worsening of estimated future cash flows due to a change in the Company’s plans, policies, or views of market and economic conditions as it relates to one or more of its properties adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic could result in the recognition of substantial impairment charges on its assets, which could adversely impact its financial results. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded impairment charges of $213,358 related to six of its malls. As of December 31, 2020, seven other properties had impairment indicators; however, based on the Company’s plans with respect to those properties and the economic environment as of December 31, 2020, no additional impairment charges were recorded.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less as cash equivalents.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash of $59,941 and $26,242 was included in intangible lease assets and other assets at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The $59,941 in restricted cash at December 31, 2020 related to cash held in escrow accounts for insurance, real estate taxes, capital expenditures and tenant allowances as required by the terms of

certain mortgage notes payable, as well as amounts related to cash management agreements with the Company’s lenders that are designated for debt service and operating expense obligations. 

Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates

The Company evaluates its joint venture arrangements to determine whether they should be recorded on a consolidated basis. The percentage of ownership interest in the joint venture, an evaluation of control and whether a VIE exists are all considered in the Company’s consolidation assessment.

Initial investments in joint ventures that are in economic substance a capital contribution to the joint venture are recorded in an amount equal to the cash contributed by the Company and the fair value of any real estate contributed. Initial investments in joint ventures that are in economic substance the sale of a portion of the Company’s interest in the real estate are accounted for as a contribution of real estate recorded in an amount equal to the fair value of the ownership interest retained and as a sale of real estate with profit recognized to the extent of the other joint venture partners’ interests in the joint venture. Profit recognition assumes the Company has no commitment to reinvest with respect to the percentage of the real estate sold and the accounting requirements of the full accrual method are met.

The Company accounts for its investment in joint ventures where it owns a noncontrolling interest or where it is not the primary beneficiary of a VIE using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, the Company’s cost of investment is adjusted for additional contributions to and distributions from the unconsolidated affiliate, as well as its share of equity in the earnings of the unconsolidated affiliate. Generally, distributions of cash flows from operations and capital events are first made to partners to pay cumulative unpaid preferences on unreturned capital balances and then to the partners in accordance with the terms of the joint venture agreements.

The Company evaluates its investment in unconsolidated affiliates for impairment indicators whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of its investment may not be recoverable. The Company’s evaluation of whether an investment in an unconsolidated affiliate has incurred a loss in value that is other than temporary includes an assessment of the expected return generated from the property or properties held within the investment, and the Company’s intent and ability to retain the investment for a period of time to allow for full recovery. Furthermore, this evaluation is conducted no less frequently than quarterly, irrespective of changes in circumstances. The prolonged outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in sustained closure of the Company’s properties for a period of time, as well as the cessation of the operations of certain of its tenants, which has resulted and will likely continue to result in a reduction in the revenues and cash flows of many of its properties due to the adverse financial impacts on its tenants, as well as reductions in other sources of income generated by its properties. In addition to reduced revenues, the Company’s ability to obtain sufficient financing for such properties may be impaired as well as its ability to lease or re-lease properties as a result of worsening market and economic conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, no impairment charges were recorded. In 2018, the Company recorded an impairment of $1,022 as its share of the loss on impairment recognized by an unconsolidated joint venture. The Company recorded a gain on deconsolidation of investments of $67,242 in 2019. See Note 8 for additional information.

Deferred Financing Costs

During 2020, as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases, unamortized financing costs of $16,779 related to the Company's secured credit facility and senior unsecured notes were charged to expense and were recorded as “Reorganization items” within the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Unamortized financing costs related to the secured line of credit of $9,062 were included in intangible lease assets and other assets at December 31, 2019. Unamortized financing costs of $3,433 and $16,148 were included in net mortgage and other indebtedness at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Deferred financing costs include fees and costs incurred to obtain financing and are amortized on a straight-line basis to interest expense over the terms of the related indebtedness. Amortization expense related to deferred financing costs was $5,476, $7,000 and $6,120 in 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Accumulated amortization of deferred financing costs was $7,354 and $17,175 as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

See Note 4 for a description of the Company's revenue streams.

Gain on Sales of Real Estate Assets

Gains on the sale of real estate assets, like all non-lease related revenue, are subject to a five-step model requiring that the Company identify the contract with the customer, identify the performance obligations in the contract, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and recognize revenue upon

satisfaction of the performance obligations. In circumstances where the Company contracts to sell a property with material post-sale involvement, such involvement must be accounted for as a separate performance obligation in the contract and a portion of the sales price allocated to each performance obligation. When the post-sale involvement performance obligation is satisfied, the portion of the sales price allocated to it will be recognized as gain on sale of real estate assets. Property dispositions with no continuing involvement will continue to be recognized upon closing of the sale.

Income Taxes

The Company is qualified as a REIT under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. To maintain qualification as a REIT, the Company is required to distribute at least 90% of its taxable income to shareholders and meet certain other requirements.

As a REIT, the Company is generally not liable for federal corporate income taxes. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to federal and state income taxes on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates. Even if the Company maintains its qualification as a REIT, the Company may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property, and to federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income. State tax expense was $2,882, $3,682 and $4,147 during 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

The Company has also elected taxable REIT subsidiary status for some of its subsidiaries. This enables the Company to receive income and provide services that would otherwise be impermissible for REITs. For these entities, deferred tax assets and liabilities are established for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities at the enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is provided if the Company believes all or some portion of the deferred tax asset may not be realized. An increase or decrease in the valuation allowance that results from the change in circumstances that causes a change in the Company’s judgment about the realizability of the related deferred tax asset is included in income or expense, as applicable.

The Company recorded an income tax benefit (provision) as follows for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018:

	Year Ended December 31,
	2020			2019			2018
Current tax provision	$	(2,278	)	$	(485	)	$	(1,354	)
Deferred tax benefit (provision)		(14,558	)		(2,668	)		2,905
Income tax benefit (provision)	$	(16,836	)	$	(3,153	)	$	1,551

In 2020, the Company recorded a full deferred tax asset valuation allowance of $16,206, which left a balance of zero as a net deferred tax asset at December 31, 2020. The Company had a net deferred tax asset of $15,117 at December 31, 2019. In 2018, the Company recorded a cumulative effect adjustment in the amount of $11,433 related to the January 1, 2018 adoption of ASU 2016-16. The net deferred tax asset at December 31, 2019 is included in intangible lease assets and other assets. These deferred tax balances primarily consist of differences between book and tax related to the basis of real estate assets, depreciation expense and operating expenses, as well as net operating loss carryforwards. As of December 31, 2020, tax years that generally remain subject to examination by the Company’s major tax jurisdictions include 2020, 2019, 2018 and 2017.

The Company reports any income tax penalties attributable to its properties as property operating expenses and any corporate-related income tax penalties as general and administrative expenses in its consolidated statements of operations. In addition, any interest incurred on tax assessments is reported as interest expense. The Company incurred nominal interest and penalty amounts in 2020, 2019 and 2018.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company’s tenants include national, regional and local retailers. Financial instruments that subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of tenant receivables. The Company generally does not obtain collateral or other security to support financial instruments subject to credit risk, but monitors the credit standing of tenants. The Company derives a substantial portion of its rental income from various national and regional retail companies; however, no single tenant collectively accounted for more than 4.5% of the Company’s total consolidated revenues in 2020.

Earnings per Share and Earnings per Unit

Earnings per Share of the Company

Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS assumes the issuance of common stock for all potential dilutive common shares outstanding. The limited partners’ rights to convert their noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership into shares of common stock are not dilutive.

Performance stock units ("PSUs") are contingently issuable common shares and are included in earnings per share if the effect is dilutive. See Note 18 for a description of the long-term incentive program that these units relate to. There were no potential dilutive common shares and no anti-dilutive shares for the year ended December 31, 2020. The effect of 102,820 contingently issuable common shares related to PSUs for the year ended December 31, 2018 were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.      

Earnings per Unit of the Operating Partnership

Basic earnings per unit (“EPU”) is computed using the two-class method. The two-class method is required when either (i) participating securities or (ii) multiple classes of common stock exists. The Operating Partnership’s special common units, and common units issued upon the conversion or redemption of special common units, meet the definition of participating securities as these units have the contractual right and obligation to share in the Operating Partnership’s net income (loss) and distributions. Under this approach net income (loss) attributable to common unitholders is reduced by the amount of distributions made (declared) to all common unitholders and by the amount of distributions that are required to be made (declared and undeclared) to special common unitholders. Distributed and undistributed earnings is subsequently divided by the weighted-average number of common and special common units outstanding for the period to compute basic EPU for each unit. Undistributed losses are allocated 100 percent to common units, other than common units issued upon the conversion or redemption of special common units. The special common units, and common units issued upon the conversion or redemption of special common units, only participate in undistributed losses in the event of a liquidation. Diluted EPU is computed by considering either the two-class method or the if-converted method, whichever results in more dilution. The if-converted method assumes the issuance of common units for all potential dilutive special common units outstanding. Due to the loss position (negative earnings) of the Operating Partnership for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 all special common units, and common units issued upon the conversion or redemption of special common units, are antidilutive. The calculation of diluted EPU through the if-converted method would reduce the loss per share (as a result of an increase number of shares in the denominator) for the common units. Therefore in a loss position diluted EPU is equal to basic EPU. There were no potential dilutive common units and there were no anti-dilutive units other than the special common units, and common units issued upon the conversion or redemption of special common units, outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Operating expense reimbursements

Under operating and other agreements with third parties, which own anchor or outparcel buildings at the Company's properties and pay no rent, the Company receives reimbursements for certain operating expenses such as ring road and parking area maintenance, landscaping and other fees. These arrangements are primarily either set at a fixed rate with rate increases typically every five years or are on a variable (pro rata) basis, typically as a percentage of costs allocated based on square footage or sales. The majority of these contracts have an initial term and one or more extension options, which cumulatively approximate 50 or more years as historically the initial term and any extension options are typically reasonably certain of being executed by the third party. The standalone selling price of each performance obligation is determined based on the terms of the contract, which typically assigns a price to each performance obligation that directly relates to the value the customer receives for the services being provided. Revenue is recognized as services are transferred to the customer. Variable consideration is based on historical experience and is generally recognized over time using the cost-to-cost method of measurement because it most accurately depicts the Company's performance in satisfying the performance obligation. The cumulative catch-up method is used to recognize any adjustments in variable consideration estimates. Under this method, any adjustment is recognized in the period it is identified.

Management, development and leasing fees     

The Company earns revenue from contracts with third parties and unconsolidated affiliates for property management, leasing, development and other services. These contracts are accounted for on a month-to-month basis if the agreement does not contain substantive penalties for termination. The majority of the Company's contracts with customers are accounted for on a month-to-month basis. The standalone selling price of each performance obligation is determined based on the terms of the contract, which typically assigns a price to each performance obligation that directly relates to the value the customer receives for the services being provided. These contracts generally are for the following:

• Management fees - Management fees are charged as a percentage of revenues (as defined in the contract) and recognized as revenue over time as services are provided.

• Leasing fees - Leasing fees are charged for newly executed leases and lease renewals and are recognized as revenue upon lease execution, when the performance obligation is completed. In cases for which the agreement specifies 50% of the leasing commission will be paid upon lease execution with the remainder paid when the tenant opens, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration it expects to receive by

evaluating the likelihood of tenant openings using the most likely amount method and records the amount as an unbilled receivable (contract asset).

• Development fees - Development fees may be either set as a fixed rate in a separate agreement or be a variable rate based on a percentage of work costs. Variable consideration related to development fees is generally recognized over time using the cost-to-cost method of measurement because it most accurately depicts the Company's performance in satisfying the performance obligation. Contract estimates are based on various assumptions including the cost and availability of materials, anticipated performance and the complexity of the work to be performed. The cumulative catch-up method is used to recognize any adjustments in variable consideration estimates. Under this method, any adjustment is recognized in the period it is identified.

Development and leasing fees received from an unconsolidated affiliate are recognized as revenue only to the extent of the third-party partner’s ownership interest. The Company's share of such fees are recorded as a reduction to the Company’s investment in the unconsolidated affiliate.

Marketing revenues

The Company earns marketing revenues from advertising and sponsorship agreements. These fees may be for tangible items in which the Company provides advertising services and creates signs and other promotional materials for the tenant or may be arrangements in which the customer sponsors a play area or event and receives specified brand recognition and other benefits over a set period of time. Revenue related to advertising services is recognized as goods and services are provided to the customer. Sponsorship revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the time period specified in the contract.

Performance obligations

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to a customer. If the contract does not specify the revenue by performance obligation, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. Such prices are generally determined using prices charged to customers or using the Company’s expected cost plus margin. Revenue is recognized as the Company’s performance obligations are satisfied over time, as services are provided, or at a point in time, such as leasing a space to earn a commission. Open performance obligations are those in which the Company has not fully or has partially provided the applicable good or services to the customer as specified in the contract. If consideration is received in advance of the Company’s performance, including amounts which are refundable, recognition of revenue is deferred until the performance obligation is satisfied or amounts are no longer refundable.

Outstanding Performance Obligations

The Company has outstanding performance obligations related to certain noncancellable contracts with customers for which it will receive fixed operating expense reimbursements for providing certain maintenance and other services as described above. As of December 31, 2020, the Company expects to recognize these amounts as revenue over the following periods:

Performance obligation	Less than 5 years		5-20 years		Over 20 years		Total
Fixed operating expense reimbursements	$	24,400	$	47,186	$	41,715	$	113,301

The Company evaluates its performance obligations each period and makes adjustments to reflect any known additions or cancellations. Performance obligations related to variable consideration, which is based on sales, are constrained.

NOTE 5. LEASES

Rental Revenues

The majority of the Company’s revenues are earned through the lease of space at its properties. All of the Company's leases with tenants for the use of space at its properties are classified as operating leases. Rental revenues include minimum rent, percentage rent, other rents and reimbursements from tenants for real estate taxes, insurance, common area maintenance ("CAM") and other operating expenses as provided in the lease agreements. The option to extend or terminate the Company’s leases is specific to each underlying tenant lease agreement. Typically, the Company's

leases contain penalties for early termination. The Company doesn't have any leases that convey the right for the lessee to purchase the leased asset.

Minimum rental revenue from operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the initial terms of the related leases. Certain tenants are required to pay percentage rent if their sales volumes exceed thresholds specified in their lease agreements. Percentage rent is recognized as revenue when the thresholds are achieved and the amounts become determinable.

The Company receives reimbursements from tenants for real estate taxes, insurance, CAM and other recoverable operating expenses as provided in the lease agreements. Any tenant reimbursements that require fixed payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the initial terms of the related leases, whereas any variable payments are recognized when earned in accordance with the tenant lease agreements. Tenant reimbursements related to certain capital expenditures are billed to tenants over periods of 5 to 15 years.

The components of rental revenues are as follows:

	Year Ended December 31,
	2020		2019		2018
Fixed lease payments	$	459,958	$	607,259	$	684,634

Lessee

The Company has eight ground leases and one office lease in which it is a lessee. The maturities of these leases range from 2021 to 2089 and generally provide for renewal options ranging from five to ten years. The Company included the renewal options in its lease terms for purposes of calculating its lease liability and ROU asset because it has no plans to cease operating its assets associated with each ground lease. The ground leases relate to properties where the Company owns the buildings and improvements but leases the underlying land. The lease payments on the majority of the ground leases are fixed, but in the instances where they are variable, they are either based on the CPI index or a percentage of sales. The office lease is subleased as of December 31, 2020. As of December 31, 2020, these leases have a weighted-average remaining lease term of 42.8 years and a weighted-average discount rate of 8.3%.

The Company's ROU asset and lease liability are presented in the consolidated balance sheets within intangible lease assets and other assets and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, respectively. A summary of the Company's ROU asset and lease liability activity during the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 is presented below:

(1) Subsequent to December 31, 2020, the Company entered into an amended and restated Restructuring Support Agreement with its credit facility lenders and unsecured noteholders that provides for a fully consensual comprehensive restructuring. See Note 20 for additional information.

(2) Issued by the Operating Partnership. CBL is a limited guarantor of the Operating Partnership's obligations under the Notes as described above.

The Company elected to not make the $6,900 interest payment (the “2024 Notes Interest Payment”) due and payable on October 15, 2020, with respect to the 2024 Notes. Under the indenture governing the 2024 Notes, the Operating Partnership had a 30-day grace period to make the 2024 Notes Interest Payment before the nonpayment was considered an “event of default” with respect to the 2024 Notes. The Company filed the Chapter 11 Cases prior to the end of the 30-day grace period.

Senior Secured Credit Facility

The Company has a $1,185,000 senior secured credit facility, which includes a revolving line of credit drawn to its maximum borrowing capacity of $675,926 and a term loan with an outstanding balance of $438,750 at December 31, 2020. The facility matures in July 2023 and bore interest at a variable rate of LIBOR plus 2.25% through March 30, 2020. On August 6, 2020, the Operating Partnership received a notice of imposition of base rate and post-default rate letter from the administrative agent under the secured credit facility, which (i) informed the Operating Partnership that following an asserted event of default on March 19, 2020, all outstanding loans were converted to base rate loans at the expiration of the applicable interest periods and (ii) sought payment of $4,812 related thereto for April through June 2020 (the “Demand Interest”). The base rate is defined as the highest of (i) the prime rate, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% and (iii) the LIBOR Market Index Rate plus 1.0%, plus 1.25%. The base rate on December 31, 2020 was 4.50% based on the prime rate plus 1.25%. The administrative agent also informed the Operating Partnership that from and after August 6, 2020, interest will accrue on all outstanding obligations at the post-default rate, which is equal to the rate that otherwise would be in effect plus 5.0%. The post-default interest rate at the time of notification and at December 31, 2020 was 9.50%. As further described in Note 2 and in Financial Covenants and Restrictions below, the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases constituted an event of default that resulted in certain monetary obligations becoming immediately due and payable with respect to the secured credit facility.

The Operating Partnership is required to pay an annual facility fee, to be paid quarterly, which ranges from 0.25% to 0.35%, based on the unused capacity of the line of credit. The terms of the facility also require the principal balance on the term loan to be reduced by $35,000 per year in quarterly installments. In March 2020, the Company drew $280,000 on its secured credit facility to increase liquidity and preserve financial flexibility in light of the uncertainty surrounding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. At December 31, 2020, the secured line of credit had an outstanding balance of $675,926. As a result of the event of default due to the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases described under Financial Covenants and Restrictions below, the Operating Partnership cannot borrow any additional amounts under the secured line of credit.

The secured credit facility is secured by 17 malls and 3 associated centers that are owned by 36 wholly owned subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership (collectively the “Combined Guarantor Subsidiaries”). The Combined Guarantor Subsidiaries own an additional four malls, two associated centers and four mortgage notes receivable that are not collateral for the secured credit facility. The properties that are collateral for the secured credit facility and the properties and mortgage notes receivable that are not collateral are collectively referred to as the “Guarantor Properties.” The terms of the Notes provide that, to the extent that any subsidiary of the Operating Partnership executes and delivers a guarantee to another

debt facility, the Operating Partnership shall also cause the subsidiary to guarantee the Operating Partnership’s obligations under the Notes on a senior basis. In January 2019, the Combined Guarantor Subsidiaries entered into a guarantee agreement with the issuer of the Notes to satisfy the guaranty requirement.

See Financial Covenants and Restrictions below and Liquidity and Going Concern Considerations and Voluntary Reorganization under Chapter 11 in Note 2 for information on the event of default resulting from the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases.

Financial Covenants and Restrictions

The agreements for the Notes and senior secured credit facility contain default provisions customary for transactions of this nature (with applicable customary grace periods). Additionally, any default in the payment of any recourse indebtedness greater than or equal to $50,000 of the Operating Partnership will constitute an event of default under the Notes and the senior secured credit facility. Additionally, the senior secured credit facility contains a provision that any default on a payment of non-recourse indebtedness in excess of $150,000 is also a default of the senior secured credit facility.

The filing of the Chapter 11 Cases constituted an event of default that resulted in certain monetary obligations becoming immediately due and payable with respect to the secured credit facility and the senior unsecured notes. The filing of the Chapter 11 Cases also constituted an event of default with respect to certain property-level debt of the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries, which may result in acceleration of the outstanding principal and other sums due.

Certain of the Company’s properties that are pledged as collateral on non-recourse mortgage loans and the secured credit facility are subject to cash management agreements with the lenders, which restrict the cash balances associated with those properties to only be used for debt service and operating expense obligations.

Fixed-Rate Debt

As of December 31, 2020, fixed-rate loans on operating Properties bear interest at stated rates ranging from 4.36% to 5.99%. Fixed-rate loans on operating Properties generally provide for monthly payments of principal and/or interest and mature at various dates through June 2026, with a weighted-average maturity of 1.6 years.

2020 Modifications

The maturity date for the fixed-rate loan secured by Jefferson Mall was extended from June 1, 2022 to June 1, 2026. The loan will be interest only through March 2021 when monthly payments of principal and interest will be made through the maturity date.

2019 Financings

In April 2019, the loan secured by Volusia Mall was refinanced to increase the principal balance to $50,000. In addition, the maturity date was extended to May 2024 and the fixed interest rate was reduced from 8.00% to 4.56%. The net proceeds from the new loan were used to retire the $41,000 existing loan and a portion of the loan secured by Honey Creek Mall, as described below.

In May 2019, the Company exercised an option to extend the loan secured by The Outlet Shoppes at Laredo to May 2021. In conjunction with the amendment, a payment of $10,800 was made to reduce the outstanding balance of the loan to $43,000. The noncontrolling interest partner in the joint venture funded its 35% share of the $10,800 payment.

Loan Repayments

The Company repaid the following fixed-rate loans, secured by the related consolidated Properties, in 2020 and 2019:

Date	Property	Interest Rate at Repayment Date	Scheduled Maturity Date	Principal Balance Repaid (1)
2020:
February	Parkway Place	6.50%	July 2020	$	33,186
February	Valley View Mall	6.50%	July 2020		51,360
				$	84,546
2019:
April	Honey Creek Mall (2)	8.00%	July 2019	$	23,539
December	The Terrace	7.25%	June 2020		11,931
				$	35,470

(1) The Company retired the loans with borrowings from its credit facilities unless otherwise noted.

(2) The Company retired the loan using proceeds from the refinancing of the loan secured by Volusia Mall as well as proceeds from the sale of Honey Creek Mall.

Dispositions

The following is a summary of the Company's dispositions for which the fixed-rate loan secured by the mall was extinguished:

Sale/Transfer Date	Property	Interest Rate at Repayment Date	Scheduled Maturity Date	Balance of Non-recourse Debt		Gain on Extinguishment of Debt
2020:
August	Hickory Point Mall (1)	5.85%	December 2019	$	27,446	$	15,446
December	Burnsville Mall (1)	6.00%	July 2020		64,233		17,075
				$	91,679	$	32,521
2019:
January	Acadiana Mall (1)	5.67%	April 2017	$	119,760	$	61,795
January	Cary Towne Center (2)	4.00%	June 2018		43,716		9,927
				$	163,476	$	71,722

(1) The Company transferred title to the mall to the mortgage holder in satisfaction of the non-recourse debt secured by the Property.

(2) The Company sold the mall for $31,500 and the net proceeds from the sale were used to satisfy a portion of the loan secured by the mall. The remaining principal balance was forgiven.

Variable-Rate Debt

The recourse loans secured by operating properties bear interest at a variable interest rate indexed to LIBOR. At December 31, 2020, the interest rates ranged from 3.05% to 5.80%. These loans mature in 2021.

Financing

The Company entered into a construction loan in October 2018 to redevelop anchor space at Brookfield Square. The loan bears interest at a variable interest rate indexed to LIBOR. At December 31, 2020, the interest rate was 3.1%. This loan matures in October 2021 and has one 12-month extension option for an outside maturity date of October 2022. The Company is in discussions with the lender regarding the extension option because the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases constituted an event of default under the loan agreement. The loan was reclassified as an operating property loan during 2020 due to construction and all loan draws being completed.

Loans in Default

As of December 31, 2020, four non-recourse loans that are each secured by one of the Company’s malls were in default. The default of the four non-recourse loans occurred prior to the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases. As of December 31, 2020, the lenders under each of these loans accelerated the outstanding amount due and payable on the loans. Subsequent to December 31, 2020, Asheville Mall and Park Plaza were turned over to receivers to manage the properties (see Note 20). The foreclosure process has not yet commenced in relation to EastGate Mall. The Company is in discussions with the lender regarding a restructure of the loan secured by Greenbrier Mall. Management has previously impaired the mall that secures each loan due to a shortened expected hold period resulting from management’s assessment that there is an increased likelihood that the loan secured by each mall may not be successfully restructured or refinanced. The non-recourse loans that are in default at December 31, 2020 are as follows:

Property	Location	Interest Rate	Scheduled Maturity Date	Loan Amount
Greenbrier Mall	Chesapeake, VA	5.41%	Dec-19	$	61,647
EastGate Mall	Cincinnati, OH	5.83%	Apr-21		31,181
Park Plaza	Little Rock, AR	5.28%	Apr-21		76,805
Asheville Mall	Asheville, NC	5.80%	Sep-21		62,121

As described in Note 2, the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases also constituted an event of default with respect to certain property-level debt of the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries, which may have resulted in the automatic acceleration of certain monetary obligations or may give the applicable lender the right to accelerate such amounts. There are 14 of such loans that have an aggregate outstanding balance of $833,444 at December 31, 2020.

Other

Several of the Company’s Properties are owned by special purpose entities, created as a requirement under certain loan agreements that are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The sole business purpose of the special purpose entities is to own and operate these Properties. The real estate and other assets owned by these special purpose entities are restricted under the loan agreements in that they are not available to settle other debts of the Company. However, so long as the loans are not under an event of default, as defined in the loan agreements, the cash flows from these Properties, after payments of debt service, operating expenses and reserves, are available for distribution to the Company.

Scheduled Principal Payments

As of December 31, 2020, the scheduled principal amortization and balloon payments of the Company’s consolidated debt, excluding extensions available at the Company’s option, on all mortgage and other indebtedness, are as follows:

2021	$	560,128
2022		407,638
2023		1,502,276
2024		343,571
2025		38,355
Thereafter		764,325
Total (1)		3,616,293
Principal balance of loan with a maturity date prior to December 31, 2020 (2)		61,647
Total mortgage and other indebtedness, net	$	3,677,940

(1) Includes $2,489,676 of liabilities subject to compromise in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2020, and as the expected maturity date is subject to the outcome of the Chapter 11 Cases, the original, legal maturity dates are reflected in this table.

(2) Represents the aggregate principal balance as of December 31, 2020 of one non-recourse loan, secured by Greenbrier Mall which was in default. The loan secured by Greenbrier Mall matured in December 2019.

Of the $560,128 of scheduled principal payments in 2021, $505,735 relates to the maturing principal balances of nine operating Property loans.

SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY AND PARTNERS' CAPITAL

Equity [Abstract]

SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY AND PARTNERS' CAPITAL

NOTE 10. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND PARTNERS' CAPITAL  

Common Stock and Common Units

The Company's authorized common stock consists of 350,000,000 shares at $0.01 par value per share. The Company had 196,569,917 and 174,115,111 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Partners in the Operating Partnership hold their ownership through common and special common units of limited partnership interest, hereinafter referred to as "common units." A common unit and a share of CBL's common stock have essentially the same economic characteristics, as they effectively participate equally in the net income and distributions of the Operating Partnership, except for certain special common units as disclosed in Note 11. For each share of common stock issued by CBL, the Operating Partnership has issued a corresponding number of common units to CBL in exchange for the proceeds from the stock issuance. The Operating Partnership had 201,687,773 and 200,189,077 common units outstanding as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Each limited partner in the Operating Partnership has the right to exchange all or a portion of its common units for shares of CBL's common stock, or at the Company's election, their cash equivalent. When an exchange for common stock occurs, the Company assumes the limited partner's common units in the Operating Partnership. The number of shares of common stock received by a limited partner of the Operating Partnership upon exercise of its exchange rights will be equal, on a one-for-one basis, to the number of common units exchanged by the limited partner. If the Company elects to pay cash, the amount of cash paid by the Operating Partnership to redeem the limited partner's common units will be based on the five-day trailing average of the trading price, at the time of exchange, of the shares of common stock that would otherwise have been received by the limited partner in the exchange. However, for so long as the current distribution suspension results in the existence of a distribution shortfall (as described in the Partnership Agreement of the Operating Partnership) with respect to any of the S-SCUs, the L-SCUs or the K-SCUs (an “SCU Distribution Shortfall”), the Company may not elect to settle any exchange requested by a holder of common units of the Operating Partnership in cash, and may only settle any such exchange through the issuance of shares of common stock or other units of the Operating Partnership ranking junior to any such units as to which a distribution shortfall exists. The Company’s Board of Directors has prospectively approved that to the extent any partners exercise any or all of their exchange rights while the existence of the SCU Distribution Shortfall requires any exchange to be settled through the issuance of shares of common stock or other units of the Operating Partnership, the consideration paid shall be in the form of shares of common stock. Neither the common units nor the shares of CBL's common stock are subject to any right of mandatory redemption.

Pursuant to the terms of the Series L special common units of limited partnership interest, the Series L special common units began receiving distributions equal to those on the common units beginning on June 1, 2020.

At-The-Market Equity Program

On March 1, 2013, the Company entered into the Sales Agreements (collectively, the "Sales Agreements") with a number of sales agents to sell shares of CBL's common stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $300,000, from time to time in the ATM equity offerings (as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) or in negotiated transaction (the "ATM program"). In accordance with the Sales Agreements, the Company will set the parameters for the sales of shares, including the number of shares to be issued, the time period during which sales are to be made and any minimum price below which sales may not be made. The Sales Agreements provide that the sales agents will be entitled to compensation for their services at a mutually agreed commission rate not to exceed 2.0% of the gross proceeds from the sales of shares sold through the ATM program. For each share of common stock issued by CBL, the Operating Partnership issues a corresponding number of common units of limited partnership interest to CBL in exchange for the contribution of the proceeds from the stock issuance. The Company includes only share issuances that have settled in the calculation of shares outstanding at the end of each period.

Since inception, the Company has sold $211,493 of common stock through the ATM program, at a weighted-average sales price of $25.12, generating net proceeds of $209,596, which were used to reduce the balances on the Company's credit facilities. Since the commencement of the ATM program, the Company has issued 8,419,298 shares of common stock and approximately $88,507 remains available that may be sold under this program as of December 31, 2020. The Company has not sold any shares under the ATM program since 2013. Actual future sales under this program, if any, will depend on a variety of factors including but not limited to market conditions, the trading price of CBL's common stock and the Company's capital needs. The Company has no obligation to sell the remaining shares available under the ATM program and currently is unable to use its shelf registration statement covering the sale of such shares.

Common Unit Activity

During 2020, the Company issued 20,956,110 shares of common stock to 31 holders of 20,956,110 common units and special common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership in connection with the exercise of the holders’ contractual exchange rights.

During 2019, the Operating Partnership elected to pay cash of $96 to a holder of 72,592 common units in the Operating Partnership upon the exercise of the holder’s conversion rights. The Company also issued 611,847 shares of common stock to two holders of 611,847 common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership in connection with the exercise of the holders’ contractual exchange rights.

During 2018, the Operating Partnership elected to pay cash of $2,246 to two holders of 526,510 common units in the Operating Partnership upon the exercise of their conversion rights. The Company also issued 915,338 shares of common stock to a holder of 915,338 common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership in connection with the exercise of the holder’s contractual exchange rights.

Preferred Stock and Preferred Units

The Company's authorized preferred stock consists of 15,000,000 shares at $0.01 par value per share. A description of the Company's cumulative redeemable preferred stock is listed below. The Operating Partnership issues an equivalent number of preferred units to CBL in exchange for the contribution of the proceeds from CBL to the Operating Partnership when CBL issues preferred stock. The preferred units generally have the same terms and economic characteristics as the corresponding series of preferred stock.

The Company has 6,900,000 depositary shares, each representing 1/10th of a share of CBL's 6.625% Series E Preferred Stock with a par value of $0.01 per share, outstanding as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. The Series E Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of $250.00 per share ($25.00 per depositary share). The dividends on the Series E Preferred Stock are cumulative, accrue from the date of issuance and are payable quarterly in arrears at a rate of $16.5625 per share ($1.65625 per depositary share) per annum. The Series E Preferred Stock generally has no stated maturity, is not subject to any sinking fund or mandatory redemption, and is not convertible into any other securities of the Company, except under certain circumstances in connection with a change of control. Owners of the depositary shares representing Series E Preferred Stock generally have no voting rights except under dividend default. The Company may redeem shares, in whole or in part, at any time for a cash redemption price of $250.00 per share ($25.00 per depositary share) plus accrued and unpaid dividends.

The Company has 18,150,000 depositary shares, each representing 1/10th of a share of CBL's 7.375% Series D Preferred Stock with a par value of $0.01 per share, outstanding as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. The Series D Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of $250.00 per share ($25.00 per depositary share). The dividends on the

Series D Preferred Stock are cumulative, accrue from the date of issuance and are payable quarterly in arrears at a rate of $18.4375 per share ($1.84375 per depositary share) per annum. The Series D Preferred Stock has no stated maturity, is not subject to any sinking fund or mandatory redemption and is not convertible into any other securities of the Company. The Company may redeem shares, in whole or in part, at any time for a cash redemption price of $250.00 per share ($25.00 per depositary share) plus accrued and unpaid dividends.

In December 2019, the Company announced the suspension of all future dividends on its 7.375% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock and 6.625% Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock. Unpaid dividends on the Company’s preferred stock accrued without interest prior to the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, after which the accrual ceased, and amounted to $37,410 and $11,223 at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company will review taxable income on a regular basis and take measures, if necessary, to ensure that it meets the minimum distribution requirements to maintain its status as a REIT.

Dividends - CBL  

CBL paid a first quarter 2019 cash dividend on its common stock of $0.075 per share on April 16, 2019. Under the terms of a litigation settlement agreement, the Company did not pay any dividends to holders of its common shares payable in the third and fourth quarters of 2019 (see Note 16 for more information on the litigation settlement agreement). As noted above, in December 2019 the Company suspended all future dividends on its common stock and preferred stock, as well as distributions to all noncontrolling interest investors in its Operating Partnership (as noted below). No dividends may be paid on shares of the Company’s common stock unless (i) all accrued but unpaid dividends on its preferred stock, and any current dividend then due, have been paid in cash, or a cash sum sufficient for such payment has been set apart for payment and (ii) the SCU Distribution Shortfall created by its related suspension of distributions to noncontrolling interest investors in its Operating Partnership has likewise been remedied through the payment of distributions sufficient to satisfy such shortfall for all prior periods and the then-current period (thereby allowing the resumption of distributions on the common units in the Operating Partnership that are held by the Company, which fund its common stock dividends). The decision to declare and pay dividends on the Company’s common stock in the future, as well as the timing, amount and composition of any such future dividends, will be at the sole discretion of its board of directors. 

For purposes of determining net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders, the Company disclosed the cumulation of undeclared dividends on its Series D Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock. The undeclared dividends on the Company’s Series D Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock ceased to cumulate as of the Commencement Date as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases.

For purposes of determining net income (loss) attributable to common unitholders, the Company disclosed the cumulation of undeclared distributions on its preferred units and special common units. The undeclared distributions on the preferred units and special common units ceased to cumulate as of the Commencement Date as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases.

The allocations of dividends declared and paid for income tax purposes are as follows (income tax allocations are not applicable in 2020 due to the Company not paying any dividends in 2020):

	Year Ended December 31,
	2019			2018

REDEEMABLE INTERESTS AND NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS

NOTE 11. REDEEMABLE INTERESTS AND NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests and Noncontrolling Interests of the Company

Partnership Interests in the Operating Partnership that Are Not Owned by the Company

The common units that the Company does not own are reflected in the Company's consolidated balance sheets as redeemable noncontrolling interest and noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership.

Series S Special Common Units

Redeemable noncontrolling interest includes a noncontrolling partnership interest in the Operating Partnership for which the partnership agreement includes redemption provisions that may require the Operating Partnership to redeem the partnership interest for real property. In July 2004, the Operating Partnership issued 1,560,940 Series S special common units (“S-SCUs”), all of which are outstanding as of December 31, 2020, in connection with the acquisition of Monroeville Mall. Under the terms of the Operating Partnership’s limited partnership agreement, the holder of the S-SCUs has the right to exchange all or a portion of its partnership interest for shares of the Company’s common stock or, at the Company’s election, their cash equivalent. The holder has the additional right to require the Operating Partnership to acquire a qualifying property and distribute it to the holder in exchange for the S-SCUs. Generally, the acquisition price of the qualifying property cannot be more than the lesser of the consideration that would be received in a normal exchange, as discussed above, or $20,000, subject to certain limited exceptions. Should the consideration that would be received in a normal exchange exceed the maximum property acquisition price as described in the preceding sentence, the excess portion of its partnership interest could be exchanged for shares of CBL's stock or, at the Company’s election, their cash equivalent. The S-SCUs receive a minimum distribution of $2.92875 per unit per year which will cumulate (similar to a preferred dividend) during the current SCU Distribution Shortfall, with the SCU Distribution Shortfall being required to be fully cured (on a ratable basis among the respective holders of S-SCUs, L-SCUs and K-SCUs) before any distributions may be resumed with respect to regular common units, pursuant to the terms of the Operating Partnership’s limited partnership agreement.

Series L Special Common Units

In June 2005, the Operating Partnership issued 571,700 Series L special common units ("L-SCUs"), all of which are outstanding as of December 31, 2020, in connection with the acquisition of Laurel Park Place. The L-SCUs receive a minimum distribution of $0.7572 per unit per quarter ($3.0288 per unit per year) which will cumulate (similar to a preferred dividend) during the current SCU Distribution Shortfall, with the SCU Distribution Shortfall being required to be fully cured (on a ratable basis among the respective holders of S-SCUs, L-SCUs and K-SCUs) before any distributions may be resumed with respect to regular common units, pursuant to the terms of the Operating Partnership’s limited partnership agreement. Upon the earlier to occur of June 1, 2020, or when the distribution on the common units exceeds $0.7572 per unit for four consecutive calendar quarters, the L-SCUs will thereafter receive a distribution equal to the amount paid on the common units. In December 2012, the Operating Partnership issued 622,278 common units valued at $14,000 to acquire the remaining 30% noncontrolling interest in Laurel Park Place. Pursuant to the terms of the Series L special common units of limited partnership interest, the Series L special common units began receiving distributions equal to those on the common units beginning on June 1, 2020.

Series K Special Common Units

In November 2005, the Operating Partnership issued 1,144,924 Series K special common units ("K-SCUs") in connection with the acquisition of Oak Park Mall, Eastland Mall and Hickory Point Mall. The holders of the K-SCUs receive a dividend at a rate of 6.25%, or $2.96875 per K-SCU, which will cumulate (similar to a preferred dividend) during the current SCU Distribution Shortfall, with the SCU Distribution Shortfall being required to be fully cured (on a ratable basis among the respective holders of S-SCUs, L-SCUs and K-SCUs) before any distributions may be resumed with respect to regular

common units, pursuant to the terms of the Operating Partnership’s limited partnership agreement. When the quarterly distribution on the Operating Partnership’s common units exceeds the quarterly K-SCU distribution for four consecutive quarters, the K-SCUs will receive distributions at the rate equal to that paid on the Operating Partnership’s common units. The holders of the K-SCUs may exchange them, on a one-for-one basis, for shares of CBL’s common stock or, at the Company’s election, their cash equivalent.

In December 2018, the Operating Partnership elected to pay $21 in cash to a holder of 8,120 K-SCUs upon the exercise of the holder’s conversion rights. In September 2020, the Company issued 267,983 shares of common stock to a holder of 267,983 K-SCUs upon the exercise of the holder’s conversion rights.

Outstanding rights to convert redeemable noncontrolling interests and noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership to common stock were held by the following parties at December 31, 2020 and 2019:

	December 31,
	2020		2019
CBL’s Predecessor		—		18,117,350
Third parties		5,117,856		7,956,616
		5,117,856		26,073,966

The assets and liabilities allocated to the Operating Partnership’s redeemable noncontrolling interest and noncontrolling interests are based on their ownership percentages of the Operating Partnership at December 31, 2020 and 2019. The ownership percentages are determined by dividing the number of common units held by each of the redeemable noncontrolling interest and the noncontrolling interests at December 31, 2020 and 2019 by the total common units outstanding at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The redeemable noncontrolling interest ownership percentage in assets and liabilities of the Operating Partnership was 0.8% at December 31, 2020 and 2019. The noncontrolling interest ownership percentage in assets and liabilities of the Operating Partnership was 1.8% and 12.2% at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. 

Income is allocated to the Operating Partnership’s redeemable noncontrolling interest and noncontrolling interests based on their weighted-average ownership during the year. The ownership percentages are determined by dividing the weighted-average number of common units held by each of the redeemable noncontrolling interest and noncontrolling interests by the total weighted-average number of common units outstanding during the year. 

A change in the number of shares of common stock or common units changes the percentage ownership of all partners of the Operating Partnership. A common unit is considered to be equivalent to a share of common stock since it generally is exchangeable for shares of the Company’s common stock or, at the Company’s election, their cash equivalent. As a result, an allocation is made between redeemable noncontrolling interests, shareholders’ equity and noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership in the Company's accompanying balance sheets to reflect the change in ownership of the Operating Partnership’s underlying equity when there is a change in the number of shares and/or common units outstanding. During 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company allocated $302, $3,398 and $4,065, respectively, from shareholders’ equity to redeemable noncontrolling interest. During 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company allocated $6,002, $4,392 and $13,642, respectively, from shareholders' equity to noncontrolling interest.

The total redeemable noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership was $(265) and $2,160 at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The total noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership was $(604) and $31,592 at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests and Noncontrolling Interests in Other Consolidated Subsidiaries  

The Company had 12 other consolidated subsidiaries at December 31, 2020 and 2019 that had noncontrolling interests held by third parties and for which the related partnership agreements either do not include redemption provisions or are subject to redemption provisions that do not require classification outside of permanent equity. The total noncontrolling interests in other consolidated subsidiaries were $3,058 and $23,961 at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. 

The assets and liabilities allocated to the redeemable noncontrolling interests and noncontrolling interests in other consolidated subsidiaries are based on the third parties’ ownership percentages in each subsidiary at December 31, 2020 and 2019. Income is allocated to the redeemable noncontrolling interests and noncontrolling interests in other consolidated subsidiaries based on the third parties’ weighted-average ownership in each subsidiary during the year. 

Redeemable Interests and Noncontrolling Interests of the Operating Partnership

The S-SCUs described above that are reflected as redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Company's consolidated balance sheets are reflected as redeemable common units in the Operating Partnership's consolidated balance sheets.

The noncontrolling interests in other consolidated subsidiaries that are held by third parties that are reflected as a component of noncontrolling interests in the Company's consolidated balance sheets comprise the entire amount that is reflected as noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership's consolidated balance sheets.

Variable Interest Entities

In accordance with the guidance in ASU 2015-02, Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis , and ASU 2016-17, Interests Held Through Related Parties That Are under Common Control, the Operating Partnership and certain of its subsidiaries are deemed to have the characteristics of a VIE primarily because the limited partners of these entities do not collectively possess substantive kick-out or participating rights.

The Company consolidates the Operating Partnership, which is a VIE, for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company, through the Operating Partnership, consolidates all VIEs for which it is the primary beneficiary. Generally, a VIE is a legal entity in which the equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or the equity investors lack sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. A limited partnership is considered a VIE when the majority of the limited partners unrelated to the general partner possess neither the right to remove the general partner without cause, nor certain rights to participate in the decisions that most significantly affect the financial results of the partnership. In determining whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, the Company considers qualitative and quantitative factors, including, but not limited to: which activities most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and which party controls such activities; the amount and characteristics of the Company's investment; the obligation or likelihood for the Company or other investors to provide financial support; and the similarity with and significance to the Company's business activities and the business activities of the other investors.

The table below lists the Company's consolidated VIEs as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, which do not reflect the elimination of any internal debt the consolidated VIE has with the Operating Partnership:

MORTGAGE AND OTHER NOTES RECEIVABLE

NOTE 12. MORTGAGE AND OTHER NOTES RECEIVABLE

The Company's mortgage note receivable is collateralized by an assignment of 100% of the partnership interests that own the real estate assets. Other notes receivable include amounts due from tenants and unsecured notes received from third parties as whole or partial consideration for property or investments. 

Mortgage and other notes receivable consist of the following:

			As of December 31, 2020			As of December 31, 2019
	Maturity Date		Interest Rate	Balance		Interest Rate	Balance
Mortgage	Dec 2016	(1)	2.64%	$	1,100	4.28% - 9.50%	$	2,637
Other Notes Receivable	Sep 2021- Apr 2026		4.00% - 5.00%		1,237	4.00% - 5.00%		2,025
				$	2,337		$	4,662

(1) Represents a $1,100 note with D'Iberville Promenade, LLC with a maturity date of December 2016, that is in default. This is secured by the joint venture partner’s interest in the joint venture.

Expected credit losses

As of December 31, 2020, the one mortgage note receivable is in default, but as noted above, the Company has a noncontrolling interest recorded related to the defaulting partner’s interest that serves as collateral on the note, and that amount is greater than the outstanding balance on the note. Based on this information, the Company did not record a credit loss for this class of receivables for the year ended December 31, 2020.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company assessed each of its note receivables factoring in credit quality indicators such as collection experience and future expectations of performance to determine whether a credit loss should be recorded. Based on this information, the Company wrote off a $1,230 note receivable associated with amounts due from a government sponsored district at The Shoppes at St. Clair during the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company did not record any other credit losses for this class of receivables for the year ended December 31, 2020.

CONTINGENCIES

NOTE 16. CONTINGENCIES

Litigation

In April 2019, the Company entered into a settlement agreement and release with respect to the class action lawsuit filed on March 16, 2016 in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida by Wave Lengths Hair Salons of Florida, Inc. d/b/a Salon Adrian. Pursuant to the settlement agreement the Company set aside a common fund with a monetary and non-monetary value of $90,000 to be disbursed to class members in accordance with an agreed-upon formula that was based upon aggregate damages of $60,000. The Court granted final approval to the proposed settlement on August 22, 2019. The class members were comprised of past and current tenants at certain of the Company's shopping centers that it owns or formerly owned during the class period, which extended from January 1, 2011 through the date of preliminary court approval. Class members who are past tenants and made a valid claim pursuant to the Court's order received payment of their claims in cash. Class members who are current tenants began receiving monthly credits against rents and future charges during the three months ended June 30, 2020 and, under the terms of the settlement agreement, will continue for the following five years. Any amounts under the settlement allocated to tenants with outstanding amounts payable to the Company, including tenants which have declared bankruptcy or declare bankruptcy over the relevant period, will first be deducted from the amounts owed to the Company. All attorney’s fees and associated costs to class counsel (up to a maximum of $27,000), the incentive award to the class representative (up to a maximum of $50), and class administration costs (which are expected to not exceed $100), have been or will be funded by the common fund, which has been approved by the Court. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, the Company did not pay any dividends to holders of its common shares payable in the third and fourth quarters of 2019. The settlement agreement did not restrict the Company's ability to declare dividends payable in 2020 or in subsequent years. The Company recorded an accrued liability and corresponding litigation settlement expense of $88,150 in the three months ended March 31, 2019 related to the settlement agreement. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company reduced the accrued liability by an aggregate $26,396, a majority of which was related to past tenants that did not submit a claim pursuant to the terms of the settlement agreement with the remainder relating to tenants that either opted out of the lawsuit or waived their rights to their respective settlement amounts. Additionally, the Company reduced the accrued liability during the three months ended December 31, 2019 by $23,050 related to attorney and administrative fees that were paid pursuant to the settlement agreement. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company reduced the accrued liability by $25,157. Of this amount, $8,348 was related to monthly credits against rents and other charges for current tenants, $4,915 was paid to past tenants, $4,039 was paid to plaintiff’s counsel and the claims administrator, and $7,855 represents amounts the Company was released from pursuant to the terms of the settlement agreement. A notice of suggestion of bankruptcy was filed by the Company in this litigation on November 3, 2020. The Company received document requests in the third quarter of 2019, in the form of subpoenas, from the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Department of Justice regarding the Wave Lengths Hair Salons of Florida, Inc. litigation and other related matters. The Company continues to cooperate in these matters.

Securities Litigation

The Company and certain of its officers and directors were named as defendants in three putative securities class action lawsuits (collectively, the “Securities Class Action Litigation”), each filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee, on behalf of all persons who purchased or otherwise acquired the Company’s securities during a specified period of time. Those cases were consolidated on July 17, 2019, under the caption In re CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. Securities Litigation, 1:19-cv-00149-JRG-CHS.

The complaints filed in the Securities Class Action Litigation allege violations of the securities laws, including, among other things, that the defendants made certain materially false and misleading statements and omissions regarding the Company’s contingent liabilities, business, operations, and prospects during the periods of time specified above. The plaintiffs seek compensatory damages and attorneys’ fees and costs, among other relief, but have not specified the amount of damages sought. The outcome of these legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty. A notice of suggestion of bankruptcy was filed by the Company in this litigation on November 9, 2020.

Certain of the Company’s current and former directors and officers were named as defendants in nine shareholder derivative lawsuits (collectively, the “Derivative Litigation”). On June 4, 2019, a shareholder filed a putative derivative complaint captioned Robert Garfield v. Stephen D. Lebovitz et al., 1:19-cv-01038-LPS, in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (the “Garfield Derivative Action”), purportedly on behalf of the Company against certain of its officers and directors. On June 24, 2019, September 5, 2019 and September 25, 2019, respectively, other shareholders filed three additional putative derivative complaints, each in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, captioned as follows: Robert Cohen v. Stephen D. Lebovitz et al., 1:19-cv-01185-LPS (the “Cohen Derivative Action”); Travis Lore v. Stephen D. Lebovitz et al., 1:19-cv-01665-LPS (the “Lore Derivative Action”), and City of Gainesville Cons. Police Officers’

and Firefighters Retirement Plan v. Stephen D. Lebovitz et al., 1:19-cv-01800 (the “Gainesville Derivative Action”), each asserting substantially similar claims purportedly on behalf of the Company against similar defendants. The Court consolidated the Garfield Derivative Action and the Cohen Derivative Action on July 17, 2019, under the caption In re CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. Derivative Litigation, 1:19-cv-01038-LPS (the "Consolidated Derivative Action"). On July 25, 2019, the Court stayed proceedings in the Consolidated Derivative Action pending resolution of an eventual motion to dismiss in the Securities Class Action Litigation. On October 14, 2019, the parties to the Gainesville Derivative Action and the Lore Derivative Action filed a joint stipulation and proposed order confirming that each of those cases is subject to the consolidation order previously entered by the Court in the Consolidated Derivative Action and that further proceedings in those cases are stayed pending resolution of an eventual motion to dismiss in the Securities Class Action Litigation. On July 22, 2019, a shareholder filed a putative derivative complaint captioned Shebitz v. Lebovitz et al., 1:19-cv-00213, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee (the “Shebitz Derivative Action”); on January 10, 2020, a shareholder filed a putative derivative complaint captioned Chatman v. Lebovitz, et al., 2020-0011-JTL, in the Delaware Chancery Court (the “Chatman Derivative Action”); on February 12, 2020, a shareholder filed a putative derivative complaint captioned Kurup v. Lebovitz, et al., 2020-0070-JTL, in the Delaware Chancery Court (the “Kurup Derivative Action”); on February 26, 2020, a shareholder filed a putative derivative complaint captioned Kemmer v. Lebovitz, et al., 1:20-cv-00052, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee (the “Kemmer Derivative Action”); and on April 14, 2020, a shareholder filed a putative derivative complaint captioned Hebig v. Lebovitz, et al., 1:19-cv-00149-JRG-CHS, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee (the “Hebig Derivative Action”), each asserting substantially similar claims purportedly on behalf of the Company against similar defendants. The actions pending in Delaware Chancery Court have been consolidated into one case, and likewise, the actions pending in Delaware federal court have been consolidated into one case. The Tennessee actions have not been consolidated. On October 7, 2019, the Court stayed the Shebitz Derivative Action, pending resolution of an eventual motion to dismiss in the related Securities Class Action Litigation; the Company expects the other Derivative Actions to be stayed as well.

The complaints filed in the Derivative Litigation allege, among other things, breaches of fiduciary duties, unjust enrichment, waste of corporate assets, and violations of the federal securities laws. The factual allegations upon which these claims are based are similar to the factual allegations made in the Securities Class Action Litigation, described above. The complaints filed in the Derivative Litigation seek, among other things, unspecified damages and restitution for the Company from the individual defendants, the payment of costs and attorneys’ fees, and that the Company be directed to reform certain governance and internal procedures. The outcome of these legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty. A notice of suggestion of bankruptcy was filed by the Company in this litigation on November 9, 2020.         

The Company's insurance carriers have been placed on notice of these matters.

The Company is currently involved in certain other litigation that arises in the ordinary course of business, most of which is expected to be covered by liability insurance. Management makes assumptions and estimates concerning the likelihood and amount of any potential loss relating to these matters using the latest information available. The Company records a liability for litigation if an unfavorable outcome is probable and the amount of loss or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. If an unfavorable outcome is probable and a reasonable estimate of the loss is a range, the Company accrues the best estimate within the range. If no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, the Company accrues the minimum amount within the range. If an unfavorable outcome is probable but the amount of the loss cannot be reasonably estimated, the Company discloses the nature of the litigation and indicates that an estimate of the loss or range of loss cannot be made. If an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible and the estimated loss is material, the Company discloses the nature and estimate of the possible loss of the litigation. Based on current expectations, such matters, both individually and in the aggregate, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the liquidity, results of operations, business or financial condition of the Company. See Note 2 for a discussion of the Company’s adversarial proceeding with its Bank Lenders, which has been stayed pending the confirmation of the Company’s Plan by the Bankruptcy Court.

Environmental Contingencies

The Company evaluates potential loss contingencies related to environmental matters using the same criteria described above related to litigation matters. Based on current information, an unfavorable outcome concerning such environmental matters, both individually and in the aggregate, is considered to be reasonably possible. However, the Company believes its maximum potential exposure to loss would not be material to its results of operations or financial condition. The Company has a master insurance policy that provides coverage through 2022 for certain environmental claims up to $10,000 per occurrence and up to $50,000 in the aggregate, subject to deductibles and certain exclusions. At certain locations, individual policies are in place.

Guarantees  

The Operating Partnership may guaranty the debt of a joint venture primarily because it allows the joint venture to obtain funding at a lower cost than could be obtained otherwise. This results in a higher return for the joint venture on its investment, and a higher return on the Operating Partnership's investment in the joint venture. The Operating Partnership may receive a fee from the joint venture for providing the guaranty. Additionally, when the Operating Partnership issues a guaranty, the terms of the joint venture agreement typically provide that the Operating Partnership may receive indemnification from the joint venture or have the ability to increase its ownership interest. The guarantees expire upon repayment of the debt, unless noted otherwise.

The following table represents the Operating Partnership's guarantees of unconsolidated affiliates' debt as reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019:

	As of December 31, 2020									Obligation recorded to reflect guaranty

(1) Excludes any extension options.

(2) The loan has two one-year extension options at the joint venture’s election. Subsequent to December 31, 2020, the loan was extended (see Note 20).

(3) Subsequent to December 31, 2020, the loan was extended (see Note 20).

(4) The guarantee is for a fixed amount of $12,740 throughout the term of the loan, including any extensions.

(5) The loan has one one-year extension option, at the joint venture's election, for an outside maturity date of October 2022.

(6) The guarantee may be reduced to 25% once certain debt and operational metrics are met.

(7) The guarantee was increased to 100% as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases filed by the Company.

As described in Note 2, the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases also constituted an event of default with respect to certain property-level debt of the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries, which may have resulted in automatic acceleration of certain monetary obligations or may give the applicable lender the right to accelerate such amounts. There was a default under each of the guaranteed loans above as a result of the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, except for Shoppes at Eagle Point, LLC and Louisville Outlet Shoppes, LLC.

The Company has guaranteed the lease performance of York Town Center, LP ("YTC"), an unconsolidated affiliate in which it owns a 50% interest, under the terms of an agreement with a third party that owns property as part of York Town Center. Under the terms of that agreement, YTC is obligated to cause performance of the third party’s obligations as landlord under its lease with its sole tenant, including, but not limited to, provisions such as co-tenancy and exclusivity requirements. Should YTC fail to cause performance, then the tenant under the third-party landlord’s lease may pursue certain remedies ranging from rights to terminate its lease to receiving reductions in rent. The Company has guaranteed YTC’s performance under this agreement up to a maximum of $22,000, which decreases by $800 annually until the guaranteed amount is reduced to $10,000. The maximum guaranteed obligation was $10,800 as of December 31, 2020. The Company entered into an agreement with its joint venture partner under which the joint venture partner has agreed to reimburse the Company 50% of any amounts it is obligated to fund under the guaranty. The Company did not record a credit loss related to this guarantee as of December 31, 2020.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company evaluated each guarantee, listed in the table above, individually by looking at the debt service ratio, cash flow forecasts, the performance of each loan and, where applicable, the collateral value in relation to the outstanding amount of the loan. The result of the analysis was that each loan is current, performing and, where applicable, the collateral value was greater than the outstanding amount of the loan. The Company did not record a credit loss related to these guarantee as of December 31, 2020.

Performance Bonds  

The Company has issued various bonds that it would have to satisfy in the event of non-performance. The total amount outstanding on these bonds was $412 and $13,660 at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

NOTE 17. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company has categorized its financial assets and financial liabilities that are recorded at fair value into a hierarchy in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure, ("ASC 820") based on whether the inputs to valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. The fair value hierarchy contains three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value as follows:

Level 1 - Inputs represent quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities as of the measurement date.

Level 2 - Inputs, other than those included in Level 1, represent observable measurements for similar instruments in active markets, or identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and observable measurements or market data for instruments with substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 - Inputs represent unobservable measurements, supported by little, if any, market activity, and require considerable assumptions that are significant to the fair value of the asset or liability. Market valuations must often be determined using discounted cash flow methodologies, pricing models or similar techniques based on the Company’s assumptions and best judgment.

The asset or liability's fair value within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Under ASC 820, fair value measurements are determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability in an orderly transaction at the measurement date and under current market conditions. Valuation techniques used maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and consider assumptions such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions and risk of nonperformance.

Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are reasonable estimates of their fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments. Based on the interest rates for similar financial instruments, the carrying value of mortgage and other notes receivable is a reasonable estimate of fair value. The estimated fair value of mortgage and other indebtedness was $1,091,745 and $2,970,246 at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The estimated fair value of liabilities subject to compromise was $1,606,959 at December 31, 2020. The fair value was calculated using Level 2 inputs by discounting future cash flows for mortgage and other indebtedness using estimated market rates at which similar loans would be made currently. 

During March 2020, the Company purchased U.S. Treasury securities that are scheduled to mature between April 2021 and June 2021. The Company has designated these securities as available-for-sale (“AFS”). The fair value of these securities was calculated based on quoted market prices in active markets and are included in the Level 1 fair value hierarchy. The Company believes the market for U.S. Treasury securities is an actively traded market given the high level of daily trading volume. In December 2020, the Company purchased additional U.S Treasury securities. The U.S. Treasury securities purchased in December 2020 matured between January 2021 and March 2021, and the Company subsequently reinvested in additional U.S. Treasury securities (see Note 20). The Company has also designated these as AFS. The following table sets forth information regarding the Company’s AFS securities that were measured at fair value for the year ended December 31, 2020:

AFS Security	Amortized Cost		Allowance for credit losses (1)		Total unrealized gains/(losses)		Fair Value
U.S. Treasury securities	$	233,053	$	—	$	18	$	233,071

(1) U.S Treasury securities have a long history with no credit losses. Additionally, the Company notes that U.S Treasury securities are explicitly fully guaranteed by a sovereign entity that can print its own currency and that the sovereign entity’s currency is routinely held by central banks and other major financial institutions, is used in international commerce, and commonly viewed as a reserve currency, all of which qualitatively indicate that historical credit loss information should be minimally affected by current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Therefore, the Company did not record expected credit losses for its U.S Treasury securities for the year ended December 31, 2020.   

Fair Value Measurements on a Nonrecurring Basis

The Company measures the fair value of certain long-lived assets on a nonrecurring basis, through quarterly impairment testing or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. The Company’s evaluation of the recoverability of long-lived assets involves the comparison of undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by each property over the Company’s expected remaining holding period to the respective carrying amount. The determination of whether the carrying value is recoverable also requires management to make estimates related to probability weighted scenarios impacting undiscounted cash flow models. The Company considers both quantitative and qualitative factors in its impairment analysis of long-lived assets. Significant quantitative factors include historical and forecasted information for each Property such as NOI, occupancy statistics and sales levels. Significant qualitative factors used include market conditions, age and condition of the Property and tenant mix. The quantitative and qualitative factors impact the selection of the terminal capitalization rate which is used in both an undiscounted and discounted cash flow model and the discount rate used in a discounted cash flow model. Due to the significant unobservable estimates and assumptions used in the valuation of long-lived assets that experience impairment, the Company classifies such long-lived assets under Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Level 3 inputs primarily consist of sales and market data, independent valuations and discounted cash flow models. See below for a description of the estimates and assumptions the Company used in its impairment analysis. See Note 3 for additional information describing the Company's impairment review process.

The following table sets forth information regarding the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and related impairment charges for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019:

			Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using

				$	174,529	$	91,841

(1) The Company adjusted the book value of the mall to the net sales price of $17,640 in a signed contract with a third-party buyer, adjusted for disposition costs. The mall was sold in July 2018. See Note 7 for additional information.

(2) The long-lived asset was not included in the Company's consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2018 as the Company no longer had an interest in the property.

(3) In June 2018, the Company was notified by IKEA that, as a result of a shift in its corporate strategy, it was terminating the contract to purchase land at the mall upon which it would develop and open a store. Under the terms of the interest-only non-recourse loan secured by the mall, the loan matured on the date the IKEA contract terminated if that date was prior to the scheduled maturity date of March 5, 2019. The Company engaged in conversations with the lender regarding a potential restructure of the loan. Based on the results of these conversations, the Company concluded that an impairment was required because it was unlikely to recover the asset's net carrying value through future cash flows. Management determined the fair value of Cary Towne Center using a discounted cash flow methodology. The discounted cash flow used assumptions including a holding period of ten years, a capitalization rate of 12.0% and a discount rate of 13%. In December 2018, the Company adjusted the book value of the property to the net sales price of $30,971 based on a signed contract with a third-party buyer. The property sold in January 2019.

(5) The Company adjusted the book value of the anchor parcel and the vacant land to the net sales price of $3,920 in a signed contract with a third party buyer, adjusted to reflect estimated disposition costs. The property was sold in January 2019.

(6) In accordance with the Company's quarterly impairment process, the Company wrote down the book value of the mall to its estimated fair value of $26,450. The mall had experienced a deterioration in cash flows as a result of the downturn of the economy in its market area and four vacant anchors with no active prospects to replace these anchor stores. Management determined the fair value of Eastland Mall using a discounted cash flow methodology. The discount cash flow used assumptions including a holding period of ten years, with a sale at the end of the holding period, a capitalization rate of 15.0% and a discount rate of 17.0%.

(7) In accordance with the Company's quarterly impairment process, the Company wrote down the book value of the mall to its estimated fair value of $16,400. The mall had experienced a decline in cash flows due to store closures and rent reductions. Additionally, two anchors were vacant as of December 31, 2018, and a third anchor announced during the fourth quarter of 2018 that it would be closing during the first quarter of 2019. Management determined the fair value of Honey Creek Mall using a discounted cash flow methodology. The discounted cash flow used assumptions including a holding period of ten years, with a sale at the end of the holding period, a capitalization rate of 18.0% and a discount rate of 20.0%.

(8) The Company adjusted the book value of the land contributed to a joint venture to its agreed upon fair value based on the joint venture agreement with its partner, Continental 425 Fund LLC. See Note 8 for more information.

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2020

Share Based Compensation [Abstract]

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

NOTE 18. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION  

As of December 31, 2020, the Company has outstanding awards under the CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. 2012 Stock Incentive Plan ("the 2012 Plan"), which was approved by the Company's shareholders in May 2012. The 2012 Plan permits the Company to issue stock options and common stock to selected officers, employees and non-employee directors of the Company up to a total of 10,400,000 shares. As the primary operating subsidiary of the Company, the Operating Partnership participates in and bears the compensation expense associated with the Company's share-based compensation plan. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”) administers the 2012 Plan.

In accordance with the provisions of ASU 2016-09, which are designed to simplify the accounting for share-based payments transactions, the Company elected to account for forfeitures of share-based payments as they occur rather than continuing to estimate them in advance.

Restricted Stock Awards  

Under the 2012 Plan, common stock may be awarded either alone, in addition to, or in tandem with other granted stock awards. The Committee has the authority to determine eligible persons to whom common stock will be awarded, the number of shares to be awarded and the duration of the vesting period, as defined. Generally, an award of common stock vests either immediately at grant or in equal installments over a period of five years. Stock awarded to independent directors is fully vested upon grant; however, the independent directors may not transfer such shares during their board term.  The Committee may also provide for the issuance of common stock under the 2012 Plan on a deferred basis pursuant to deferred compensation arrangements. The fair value of common stock awarded under the 2012 Plan is determined based on the market price of CBL’s common stock on the grant date and the related compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period on a straight-line basis. 

The Company may make restricted stock awards to independent directors, officers and its employees under the 2012 Plan. These awards are generally granted based on the performance of the Company and its employees. None of these awards have performance requirements other than a service condition of continued employment, unless otherwise provided. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.

The share-based compensation cost related to the restricted stock awards was $2,239, $3,396 and $3,744 for 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Share-based compensation cost resulting from share-based awards is recorded at the Management Company, which is a taxable entity. Share-based compensation cost capitalized as part of real estate assets was $20, $66 and $287 in 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. 

A summary of the status of the Company’s nonvested restricted stock awards as of December 31, 2020, and changes during the year ended December 31, 2020, is presented below:

	Shares			Weighted- Average Grant-Date Fair Value
Nonvested at January 1, 2020		971,846		$	5.16
Granted		1,628,397		$	0.86
Vested		(1,052,161	)	$	2.86
Forfeited		(28,476	)	$	4.67
Nonvested at December 31, 2020		1,519,606		$	2.15

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of shares granted during 2020, 2019 and 2018 was $0.86, $2.20 and $4.55, respectively. The total fair value of shares vested during 2020, 2019 and 2018 was $951, $3,869 and $2,189, respectively. 

As of December 31, 2020, there was $1,944 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock awards granted under the 2012 Plan, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.2 years.

Long-Term Incentive Program

In 2015, the Company adopted a long-term incentive program ("LTIP") for its named executive officers, which consists of performance stock unit ("PSU") awards and annual restricted stock awards, that may be issued under the 2012 Plan. The number of shares related to the PSU awards that each named executive officer may receive upon the conclusion of a three-year performance period is determined based on the Company's achievement of specified levels of long-term total stockholder return ("TSR") performance relative to the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") Retail Index, provided that at least a "Threshold" level must be attained for any shares to be earned.

Beginning with the 2018 PSUs, two-thirds of the quantitative portion of the award over the performance period is based on the achievement of TSR relative to the NAREIT Retail Index while the remaining one-third is based on the achievement of absolute TSR metrics for the Company. Beginning with the 2018 PSU grant, to maintain compliance with a 200,000 share annual equity grant limit (the “Section 162(m) Grant Limit”) that was included in the 2012 Plan to satisfy the “qualified performance-based compensation” exception to the deduction limits for certain executive compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code, to the extent that a grant of PSUs could result in the issuance of a number of shares of common stock at the conclusion of the performance period that, when coupled with the number of shares of time-vesting restricted stock granted in the same year the PSUs were granted, would exceed such limit, any such excess will be converted to a cash bonus award with a value equivalent to the number of shares of common stock constituting such excess times the average of the high and low trading prices reported for CBL's common stock on the date such shares would otherwise have been issuable.

In conjunction with the February 2020 approval of the 2020 LTIP grants for the named executive officers, the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan was amended to remove the Section 162(m) Grant Limit, which no longer served its original purpose because the “qualified performance-based compensation” exception to the Section 162(m) deduction limits was repealed by the 2017 tax reform legislation. However, NYSE rules also include an annual equity grant limit which effectively limits the number of shares that can be subject to stock awards to any individual named executive officer, without additional shareholder approval, to one percent (1%) of the total number of outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “NYSE Annual Grant Limit”). To maintain NYSE compliance following elimination of the Section 162(m) Grant Limit, the Company’s Compensation Committee revised PSU awards under the LTIP, beginning in 2020, to provide that if a grant of PSUs could result in the issuance of a number of shares to a named executive officer at the conclusion of the 3-year performance period that would exceed the NYSE Annual Grant Limit, when coupled with the number of shares subject to other stock awards (e.g., the time-vesting restricted stock component of the LTIP) issued in the same year that such PSUs were issued, any such excess will instead be converted to a cash bonus award, while remaining subject to vesting conditions as described below.

In August 2020, in connection with the execution of the Original RSA that is described in Note 2, the 2020 PSUs were canceled. Based on the Company’s TSR relative to the NAREIT Retail Index for the three year performance period ended December 31, 2020, as well as the Company’s absolute TSR for such period, none of the 2018 PSUs were earned as of December 31, 2020.

Any such portion of the value of the 2019 PSUs earned payable as a cash bonus will be subject to the same vesting provisions as the issuance of common stock pursuant to the PSUs. In addition, to the extent any cash is to be paid, the cash will be paid first relative to the vesting schedule, ahead of the issuance of shares of common stock with respect to the balance of PSUs earned.

Annual Restricted Stock Awards

Under the LTIP, annual restricted stock awards consist of shares of time-vested restricted stock awarded based on a qualitative evaluation of the performance of the Company and the named executive officer during the fiscal year. Annual restricted stock awards under the LTIP, which are included in the totals reflected in the preceding table, vest 20% on the date of grant with the remainder vesting in four equal annual installments. Outstanding restricted stock, and related grant/vesting/forfeiture activity during 2020 for awards made to named executive officers under the LTIP, is included in the information presented in the table above.

Performance Stock Units

The Company granted the following PSUs in the first quarter of the respective years. A summary of PSU activity as of December 31, 2020, and changes during the year ended December 31, 2020, is presented below:

	PSUs			Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value
2018 PSUs granted		741,977		$	2.63
2019 PSUs granted (1)		1,103,537		$	2.40
Forfeited		(78,934	)	$	2.63
Outstanding at January 1, 2020		1,766,580		$	2.96
2020 PSUs granted (2)		3,408,083		$	0.84
2018 PSUs canceled (3)		(663,043	)	$	2.63
2020 PSUs canceled		(3,408,083	)	$	0.84
Outstanding at December 31, 2020 (4)		1,103,537		$	3.16

(1) Includes 566,862 shares classified as a liability due to the potential cash component described above.

(2) Includes 1,247,098 shares classified as a liability due to the potential cash component described above.

(3) Based on the Company’s TSR relative to the NAREIT Retail Index for the three-year performance period ended December 31, 2020, none of the 2018 PSUs were earned as of December 31, 2020.

(4) None of the PSUs outstanding at December 31, 2020 were vested.

Shares earned pursuant to the PSU awards vest 60% at the conclusion of the performance period while the remaining 40% of the PSU award vests 20% on each of the first two anniversaries thereafter.

Compensation cost is recognized on a tranche-by-tranche basis using the accelerated attribution method. The resulting expense is recorded regardless of whether any PSU awards are earned as long as the required service period is met.

The fair value of the potential cash component related to the 2019 PSUs is measured each reporting period, using the same methodology as was used at the initial grant date, and classified as a liability on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 with an adjustment to compensation expense. If the performance criterion is not satisfied at the end of the performance period for the 2019 PSUs, previously recognized compensation expense related to the liability-classified awards would be reversed as there would be no value at the settlement date.

Share-based compensation expense related to the PSUs was $3,185, $1,564 and $1,364 in 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Share-based compensation expense in 2020 included $2,052 of expense related to the cancellation of the 2020 PSUs. Unrecognized compensation costs related to the PSUs was $567 as of December 31, 2020, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.8 years.

The following table summarizes the assumptions used in the Monte Carlo simulation pricing model related to the PSUs:

	2020 PSUs			2019 PSUs			2018 PSUs
Grant date	February 10, 2020 (1)			February 11, 2019			February 12, 2018 (2)
Fair value per share on valuation date (3)	$	0.84		$	4.74		$	4.76
Risk-free interest rate (4)		1.39	%		2.54	%		2.36	%
Expected share price volatility (5)		57.98	%		60.99	%		42.02	%

(1) The 2020 PSU awards were cancelled in August 2020.

(2) Based on the Company’s TSR relative to the NAREIT Retail Index for the three-year performance period ended December 31, 2020, none of the 2018 PSUs were earned as of December 31, 2020.

(3) The value of the PSU awards is estimated on the date of grant using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The valuation consists of computing the fair value using CBL's simulated stock price as well as TSR over a three-year performance period. The award is modeled as a contingent claim in that the expected return on the underlying shares is risk-free and the rate of discounting the payoff of the award is also risk-free. The weighted-average fair value per share related to the 2020 PSUs classified as equity consists of 2,131,245 shares at a fair value of $0.88 (which relate to relative TSR) and 1,065,463 shares at fair value of $0.75 per share (which relate to absolute TSR). The weighted-average fair value per share related to the 2019 PSUs classified as equity consists of 357,800 shares at a fair value of $2.45 per share (which relate to relative TSR) and 178,875 shares at a fair value of $2.29 per share (which relate to absolute TSR). The weighted-average fair value per share related to the 2018 PSUs classified as equity consists of 240,164 shares at a fair value of $3.13 per share (which relate to relative TSR) and 120,064 shares at a fair value of $1.63 per share (which relate to absolute TSR).

(4) The risk-free interest rate was based on the yield curve on zero-coupon U.S. Treasury securities in effect as of the valuation date, which is the respective grant date listed above.

(5) The computation of expected volatility was based on a blend of the historical volatility of CBL's shares of common stock based on annualized daily total continuous returns over a five-year period for the 2020 PSUs and a three-year period for the 2019 and 2018 PSUs and implied volatility data based on the trailing month average of daily implied volatilities implied by stock call option contracts that were both closest to the terms shown and closest to the money.

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

NOTE 19. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS  

401(k) Plan  

The Management Company maintains a 401(k) profit sharing plan, which is qualified under Section 401(a) and Section 401(k) of the Code to cover employees of the Management Company. All employees who have attained the age of 21 and have completed at least 60 days of service are eligible to participate in the plan. The plan provides for employer matching contributions on behalf of each participant equal to 50% of the portion of such participant’s contribution that does not exceed 2.5% of such participant’s annual gross salary for the plan year. The Company temporarily suspended the employer matching contribution in April 2020 through August 2020 due to cost reduction measures in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, the Management Company has the discretion to make additional profit-sharing-type contributions not related to participant elective contributions. Total contributions by the Management Company were $650, $921 and $1,003 in 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. 

Employee Stock Purchase Plan  

The Company maintains an employee stock purchase plan that allows eligible employees to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock in the open market without incurring brokerage or transaction fees. Under the plan, eligible employees make payroll deductions that are used to purchase shares of CBL’s common stock. The shares are purchased at the prevailing market price of the stock at the time of purchase.

In connection with the Chapter 11 Cases, the employee stock purchase plan has been suspended indefinitely.

NOTE 20. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In March 2021, the Company entered into the Amended RSA with its credit facility lenders and unsecured noteholders that provides for a fully consensual comprehensive restructuring. The Amended RSA was entered into by the Company, the Bank Lenders representing more than 96% (including joinders) of the outstanding balance of its secured credit facility and the Consenting Noteholders representing in excess of 69% (including joinders) of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes. The Amended RSA represents a comprehensive settlement between the parties of substantially all key issues relating to the Chapter 11 Cases, including the ongoing litigation between the Company and the Bank Lenders arising from the prepetition enforcement actions taken by the Bank Lenders.    

The terms of the Amended RSA outline a revised plan for restructuring the Company’s balance sheet that provides for the elimination of more than $1,681,900 of debt and preferred obligations as well as a significant reduction in interest expense. In exchange for their approximately $1,375,000 in principal amount of senior unsecured notes and $133,000 in principal amount of the secured credit facility, Consenting Noteholders will receive, in the aggregate, $95,000 in cash, $555,000 of new senior secured notes, of which up to $100,000, upon election by the Consenting Noteholders, may be received in the form of new convertible secured notes and 89% in common equity of the newly reorganized Company. Certain Consenting Noteholders will also provide up to $50,000 of new money in exchange for additional convertible secured notes. The Amended RSA provides that the remaining Bank Lenders, holding $983,700 in principal amount under the secured credit facility, will receive $100,000 in cash and a new $883,700 secured term loan. Existing common and preferred stakeholders are expected to receive up to 11% of common equity in the newly reorganized company. The Amended RSA is subject to Bankruptcy Court approval, which the Company will seek in accordance with the terms of the Amended RSA.

During January 2021, the Company purchased $21,999 in U.S. Treasury securities that matured in February 2021. During February 2021, the Company purchased $31,999 in U.S. Treasury securities that matured in March 2021.

The Company designated the U.S. Treasury securities purchased in these transactions as available-for-sale.

In March 2021, the Company reached agreements with the lenders to modify the loans secured by Hammock Landing Phases I & II and The Pavilion at Port Orange. Each agreement provides an additional four-year term, with a one-year extension option, for a fully extended maturity date of February 2026. These loans had a combined outstanding loan balance of $107,833 at December 31, 2020.

In March 2021, the Company reached an agreement with the lender to modify the loan secured by Ambassador Infrastructure. The agreement provides an additional four-year term with a fixed interest rate of 3.0%. The extended loan, maturing in March 2025, has an outstanding balance of $8,250, as $1,110 was paid down in conjunction with the modification.

In January 2021, Asheville Mall was turned over to a receiver to manage the property.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2020

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

This Form 10-K provides separate consolidated financial statements for the Company and the Operating Partnership. Due to the Company's ability as general partner to control the Operating Partnership, the Company consolidates the Operating Partnership within its consolidated financial statements for financial reporting purposes. The notes to consolidated financial statements apply to both the Company and the Operating Partnership, unless specifically noted otherwise.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of the Company, the Operating Partnership and their wholly owned subsidiaries, as well as entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest or entities where the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE. For entities in which the Company has less than a controlling financial interest or entities where the Company is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE, the entities are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, the Company's share of the net earnings or losses of these entities is included in consolidated net income (loss). The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

Accounting Guidance Adopted and Not Yet Adopted

Accounting Guidance Adopted    

Description	Expected Adoption Date & Application Method	Financial Statement Effect and Other Information
Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments	January 1, 2020 - Modified Retrospective	The guidance replaced the current incurred loss impairment model, which reflects credit events, with a current expected credit loss model, which recognizes an allowance for credit losses based on an entity’s estimate of contractual cash flows not expected to be collected. The Company has determined that its available-for-sale debt securities, guarantees, mortgage and other notes receivable and receivables within the scope of ASC 606 fall under the scope of this standard. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or disclosures.
ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement	January 1, 2020 - Prospective	The guidance eliminates, adds and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. Entities no longer are required to disclose the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy, but public companies are required to disclose the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or disclosures.
ASU 2018-15, Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract	January 1, 2020 - Prospective	The guidance addresses diversity in practice in accounting for the costs of implementation activities in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract. Under the guidance, the Company is to follow Subtopic 350-40 on internal-use software to determine which implementation costs to capitalize and which to expense. The guidance also requires an entity to expense capitalized implementation costs over the term of the hosting arrangement and include that expense in the same line item as the fees associated with the service element of the arrangement. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

Lease Modification Q&A	April 1, 2020 – Prospective	In April 2020, the FASB issued a question-and-answer document (the “Lease Modification Q&A”) focused on the application of lease accounting guidance related to lease concessions provided as a result of COVID-19. Under existing lease guidance, the Company would have to determine, on a lease by lease basis, if a lease concession was the result of a new arrangement reached with the tenant (treated within the lease modification accounting framework) or if a lease concession was under the enforceable rights and obligations within the existing lease agreement (precluded from applying the lease modification accounting framework). The Lease Modification Q&A clarifies that entities may elect to not evaluate whether lease-related relief that lessors provide to mitigate the economic effects of COVID-19 on lessees is a lease modification under Topic 842, Leases. Instead, an entity that elects not to evaluate whether a concession directly related to COVID-19 is a modification can then elect whether to apply the modification guidance (i.e. assume the relief was always contemplated by the contract or assume the relief was not contemplated by the contract). Both lessees and lessors may make this election. The Company has elected to apply the relief provided under the Lease Modification Q&A and will avail itself of the election to avoid performing a lease by lease analysis for the lease concessions that were (1) granted as relief due to the COVID-19 pandemic and (2) result in the cash flows remaining substantially the same or less than the original contract. The Lease Modification Q&A had a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020. However, its future impact to the Company is dependent upon the extent of lease concessions granted to tenants as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in future periods and the elections made by the Company at the time of entering such concessions. The Lease Modification Q&A allows the Company to determine accounting policy elections at a disaggregated level, and the elections should be applied consistently by either the type of concession, underlying asset class or on another reasonable basis. As a result, the Company has made the following policy elections based on the type of concession agreed to with the respective tenant. Rent Deferrals The Company will account for rental deferrals using the receivables model as described within the Lease Modification Q&A. Under the receivables model, the Company will continue to recognize lease revenue in a manner that is unchanged from the original lease agreement and continue to recognize lease receivables and rental revenue during the deferral period. Rent Abatements The Company will account for rental abatements using the negative variable income model as described within the Lease Modification Q&A. Under the negative variable income model, the Company will recognize negative variable rent for the current period reduction of rental revenue associated with any lease concessions it provides.
		At December 31, 2020, the Company’s receivables included $18,526 related to receivables that had been deferred and are to be repaid generally throughout 2021, and extending for a portion of 2022. The Company granted abatements of $25,439 during the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company continues to assess rent relief requests from its tenants but is unable to predict the resolution or impact of these discussions. For agreements that are currently under negotiation, the Company does not expect the impact to be material.
Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted
Description		Financial Statement Effect and Other Information
ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform		On March 12, 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) - Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or other reference rates expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. This ASU is effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company has not adopted any of the optional expedients or exceptions as of December 31, 2020, but will continue to evaluate the possible adoption of any such expedients or exceptions during the effective period to determine the impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Real Estate Assets

Real Estate Assets  

The Company capitalizes predevelopment project costs paid to third parties. All previously capitalized predevelopment costs are expensed when it is no longer probable that the project will be completed. Once development of a project commences, all direct costs incurred to construct the project, including interest and real estate taxes, are capitalized. Additionally, certain general and administrative expenses are allocated to the projects and capitalized based on the amount of time applicable personnel work on the development project. Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Major replacements and improvements are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives.

All acquired real estate assets have been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting and accordingly, the results of operations are included in the consolidated statements of operations from the respective dates of acquisition. The Company allocates the purchase price to (i) tangible assets, consisting of land, buildings and improvements, as if vacant, and tenant improvements, and (ii) identifiable intangible assets and liabilities, generally consisting of above-market leases, in-place leases and tenant relationships, which are included in intangible lease assets and other assets, and below-market leases, which are included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The Company uses estimates of fair value based on estimated cash flows, using appropriate discount rates, and other valuation techniques to allocate the purchase price to the acquired tangible and intangible assets. Liabilities assumed generally consist of mortgage debt on the real estate assets acquired. Assumed debt is recorded at its fair value based on estimated market interest rates at the date of acquisition. The Company expects its future acquisitions will be accounted for as acquisitions of assets in which related transaction costs will be capitalized.

Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over estimated lives of 40 years for buildings, 10 to 20 years for certain improvements and 7 to 10 years for equipment and fixtures. Tenant improvements are capitalized and depreciated on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease. Lease-related intangibles from acquisitions of real estate assets are generally amortized over the remaining terms of the related leases. The amortization of above- and below-market leases is recorded as an adjustment to rental revenue, while the amortization of all other lease-related intangibles is recorded as

amortization expense. Any difference between the face value of the debt assumed and its fair value is amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the debt using the effective interest method.

The Company’s intangibles and their balance sheet classifications as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, are summarized as follows:

	December 31, 2020					December 31, 2019
	Cost		Accumulated Amortization			Cost		Accumulated Amortization
Intangible lease assets and other assets:
Above-market leases	$	18,416	$	(16,395	)	$	21,098	$	(18,559	)
In-place leases		59,472		(53,790	)		66,309		(58,559	)
Tenant relationships		34,630		(7,909	)		38,880		(10,834	)
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities:
Below-market leases		42,274		(36,224	)		46,554		(38,052	)

These intangibles are related to specific tenant leases. Should a termination occur earlier than the date indicated in the lease, the related unamortized intangible assets or liabilities, if any, related to the lease are recorded as expense or income, as applicable. The total net amortization expense of the above intangibles was $1,460, $4,506 and $13,282 in 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The estimated total net amortization expense for the next five succeeding years is $1,326 in 2021, $1,071 in 2022, $872 in 2023, $854 in 2024 and $817 in 2025.

Total interest expense capitalized was $1,640, $2,504 and $3,225 in 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts Receivable

Receivables include amounts billed and currently due from tenants pursuant to lease agreements and receivables attributable to straight-line rents associated with those lease agreements. Individual leases where the collection of rents is in dispute are assessed for collectability based on management’s best estimate of collection considering the anticipated outcome of the dispute. Individual leases that are not in dispute are assessed for collectability and upon the determination that the collection of rents over the remaining lease term is not probable, accounts receivable are reduced as an adjustment to rental revenues. Revenue from leases where collection is deemed to be less than probable is recorded on a cash basis until collectability is determined to be probable. Further, management assesses whether operating lease receivables, at a portfolio level, are appropriately valued based upon an analysis of balances outstanding, historical collection levels and current economic trends. An allowance for the uncollectable portion of the portfolio is recorded as an adjustment to rental revenues. Management’s estimate of the collectability of accounts receivable from tenants is based on the best information available to management at the time of evaluation.

The duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the Company’s tenants’ ability to pay rents has caused uncertainty in the Company’s ongoing ability to collect rents when due. Considering the potential impact of these uncertainties, management’s collection assessment also took into consideration the type of retailer, billing disputes, lease negotiation status and executed deferral or abatement agreements, as well as recent rent collection experience and tenant bankruptcies based on the best information available to management at the time of evaluation. For the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded $48,240 and $3,463, respectively, associated with uncollectable revenues, which includes $5,603 for straight line rent receivables for the year ended December 31, 2020.

The following table sets forth the activity for the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts:

Carrying Value of Long-Lived Assets

Carrying Value of Long-Lived Assets  

The Company evaluates its real estate assets for impairment indicators whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of any of its long-lived assets may not be recoverable. Furthermore, this evaluation is conducted no less frequently than quarterly, irrespective of changes in circumstances. The prolonged outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in sustained closure of the Company’s properties for a period of time, as well as the cessation of the operations of certain of its tenants, which has resulted and will likely continue to result in a reduction in the revenues and cash flows of many of its properties due to the adverse financial impacts on its tenants, as well as reductions in other sources of income generated by its properties. In addition to reduced revenues, the Company’s ability to obtain sufficient financing for such properties may be impaired as well as its ability to lease or re-lease properties as a result of worsening market and economic conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company’s evaluation of impairment of real estate assets considered its estimate of cash flow declines caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, but its other assumptions, including estimated hold period, were generally unchanged given the highly uncertain environment. The worsening of estimated future cash flows due to a change in the Company’s plans, policies, or views of market and economic conditions as it relates to one or more of its properties adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic could result in the recognition of substantial impairment charges on its assets, which could adversely impact its financial results. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded impairment charges of $213,358 related to six of its malls. As of December 31, 2020, seven other properties had impairment indicators; however, based on the Company’s plans with respect to those properties and the economic environment as of December 31, 2020, no additional impairment charges were recorded.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less as cash equivalents.

Restricted Cash

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash of $59,941 and $26,242 was included in intangible lease assets and other assets at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The $59,941 in restricted cash at December 31, 2020 related to cash held in escrow accounts for insurance, real estate taxes, capital expenditures and tenant allowances as required by the terms of

certain mortgage notes payable, as well as amounts related to cash management agreements with the Company’s lenders that are designated for debt service and operating expense obligations. 

Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates

Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates

The Company evaluates its joint venture arrangements to determine whether they should be recorded on a consolidated basis. The percentage of ownership interest in the joint venture, an evaluation of control and whether a VIE exists are all considered in the Company’s consolidation assessment.

Initial investments in joint ventures that are in economic substance a capital contribution to the joint venture are recorded in an amount equal to the cash contributed by the Company and the fair value of any real estate contributed. Initial investments in joint ventures that are in economic substance the sale of a portion of the Company’s interest in the real estate are accounted for as a contribution of real estate recorded in an amount equal to the fair value of the ownership interest retained and as a sale of real estate with profit recognized to the extent of the other joint venture partners’ interests in the joint venture. Profit recognition assumes the Company has no commitment to reinvest with respect to the percentage of the real estate sold and the accounting requirements of the full accrual method are met.

The Company accounts for its investment in joint ventures where it owns a noncontrolling interest or where it is not the primary beneficiary of a VIE using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, the Company’s cost of investment is adjusted for additional contributions to and distributions from the unconsolidated affiliate, as well as its share of equity in the earnings of the unconsolidated affiliate. Generally, distributions of cash flows from operations and capital events are first made to partners to pay cumulative unpaid preferences on unreturned capital balances and then to the partners in accordance with the terms of the joint venture agreements.

The Company evaluates its investment in unconsolidated affiliates for impairment indicators whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of its investment may not be recoverable. The Company’s evaluation of whether an investment in an unconsolidated affiliate has incurred a loss in value that is other than temporary includes an assessment of the expected return generated from the property or properties held within the investment, and the Company’s intent and ability to retain the investment for a period of time to allow for full recovery. Furthermore, this evaluation is conducted no less frequently than quarterly, irrespective of changes in circumstances. The prolonged outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in sustained closure of the Company’s properties for a period of time, as well as the cessation of the operations of certain of its tenants, which has resulted and will likely continue to result in a reduction in the revenues and cash flows of many of its properties due to the adverse financial impacts on its tenants, as well as reductions in other sources of income generated by its properties. In addition to reduced revenues, the Company’s ability to obtain sufficient financing for such properties may be impaired as well as its ability to lease or re-lease properties as a result of worsening market and economic conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, no impairment charges were recorded. In 2018, the Company recorded an impairment of $1,022 as its share of the loss on impairment recognized by an unconsolidated joint venture. The Company recorded a gain on deconsolidation of investments of $67,242 in 2019. See Note 8 for additional information.

Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred Financing Costs

During 2020, as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases, unamortized financing costs of $16,779 related to the Company's secured credit facility and senior unsecured notes were charged to expense and were recorded as “Reorganization items” within the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Unamortized financing costs related to the secured line of credit of $9,062 were included in intangible lease assets and other assets at December 31, 2019. Unamortized financing costs of $3,433 and $16,148 were included in net mortgage and other indebtedness at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Deferred financing costs include fees and costs incurred to obtain financing and are amortized on a straight-line basis to interest expense over the terms of the related indebtedness. Amortization expense related to deferred financing costs was $5,476, $7,000 and $6,120 in 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Accumulated amortization of deferred financing costs was $7,354 and $17,175 as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

See Note 4 for a description of the Company's revenue streams.

Gain on Sales of Real Estate Assets

Gain on Sales of Real Estate Assets

Gains on the sale of real estate assets, like all non-lease related revenue, are subject to a five-step model requiring that the Company identify the contract with the customer, identify the performance obligations in the contract, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and recognize revenue upon

satisfaction of the performance obligations. In circumstances where the Company contracts to sell a property with material post-sale involvement, such involvement must be accounted for as a separate performance obligation in the contract and a portion of the sales price allocated to each performance obligation. When the post-sale involvement performance obligation is satisfied, the portion of the sales price allocated to it will be recognized as gain on sale of real estate assets. Property dispositions with no continuing involvement will continue to be recognized upon closing of the sale.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

The Company is qualified as a REIT under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. To maintain qualification as a REIT, the Company is required to distribute at least 90% of its taxable income to shareholders and meet certain other requirements.

As a REIT, the Company is generally not liable for federal corporate income taxes. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to federal and state income taxes on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates. Even if the Company maintains its qualification as a REIT, the Company may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property, and to federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income. State tax expense was $2,882, $3,682 and $4,147 during 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

The Company has also elected taxable REIT subsidiary status for some of its subsidiaries. This enables the Company to receive income and provide services that would otherwise be impermissible for REITs. For these entities, deferred tax assets and liabilities are established for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities at the enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is provided if the Company believes all or some portion of the deferred tax asset may not be realized. An increase or decrease in the valuation allowance that results from the change in circumstances that causes a change in the Company’s judgment about the realizability of the related deferred tax asset is included in income or expense, as applicable.

The Company recorded an income tax benefit (provision) as follows for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018:

	Year Ended December 31,
	2020			2019			2018
Current tax provision	$	(2,278	)	$	(485	)	$	(1,354	)
Deferred tax benefit (provision)		(14,558	)		(2,668	)		2,905
Income tax benefit (provision)	$	(16,836	)	$	(3,153	)	$	1,551

In 2020, the Company recorded a full deferred tax asset valuation allowance of $16,206, which left a balance of zero as a net deferred tax asset at December 31, 2020. The Company had a net deferred tax asset of $15,117 at December 31, 2019. In 2018, the Company recorded a cumulative effect adjustment in the amount of $11,433 related to the January 1, 2018 adoption of ASU 2016-16. The net deferred tax asset at December 31, 2019 is included in intangible lease assets and other assets. These deferred tax balances primarily consist of differences between book and tax related to the basis of real estate assets, depreciation expense and operating expenses, as well as net operating loss carryforwards. As of December 31, 2020, tax years that generally remain subject to examination by the Company’s major tax jurisdictions include 2020, 2019, 2018 and 2017.

The Company reports any income tax penalties attributable to its properties as property operating expenses and any corporate-related income tax penalties as general and administrative expenses in its consolidated statements of operations. In addition, any interest incurred on tax assessments is reported as interest expense. The Company incurred nominal interest and penalty amounts in 2020, 2019 and 2018.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company’s tenants include national, regional and local retailers. Financial instruments that subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of tenant receivables. The Company generally does not obtain collateral or other security to support financial instruments subject to credit risk, but monitors the credit standing of tenants. The Company derives a substantial portion of its rental income from various national and regional retail companies; however, no single tenant collectively accounted for more than 4.5% of the Company’s total consolidated revenues in 2020.

Earnings per Share and Earnings per Unit

Earnings per Share and Earnings per Unit

Earnings per Share of the Company

Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS assumes the issuance of common stock for all potential dilutive common shares outstanding. The limited partners’ rights to convert their noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership into shares of common stock are not dilutive.

Performance stock units ("PSUs") are contingently issuable common shares and are included in earnings per share if the effect is dilutive. See Note 18 for a description of the long-term incentive program that these units relate to. There were no potential dilutive common shares and no anti-dilutive shares for the year ended December 31, 2020. The effect of 102,820 contingently issuable common shares related to PSUs for the year ended December 31, 2018 were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.      

Earnings per Unit of the Operating Partnership

Basic earnings per unit (“EPU”) is computed using the two-class method. The two-class method is required when either (i) participating securities or (ii) multiple classes of common stock exists. The Operating Partnership’s special common units, and common units issued upon the conversion or redemption of special common units, meet the definition of participating securities as these units have the contractual right and obligation to share in the Operating Partnership’s net income (loss) and distributions. Under this approach net income (loss) attributable to common unitholders is reduced by the amount of distributions made (declared) to all common unitholders and by the amount of distributions that are required to be made (declared and undeclared) to special common unitholders. Distributed and undistributed earnings is subsequently divided by the weighted-average number of common and special common units outstanding for the period to compute basic EPU for each unit. Undistributed losses are allocated 100 percent to common units, other than common units issued upon the conversion or redemption of special common units. The special common units, and common units issued upon the conversion or redemption of special common units, only participate in undistributed losses in the event of a liquidation. Diluted EPU is computed by considering either the two-class method or the if-converted method, whichever results in more dilution. The if-converted method assumes the issuance of common units for all potential dilutive special common units outstanding. Due to the loss position (negative earnings) of the Operating Partnership for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 all special common units, and common units issued upon the conversion or redemption of special common units, are antidilutive. The calculation of diluted EPU through the if-converted method would reduce the loss per share (as a result of an increase number of shares in the denominator) for the common units. Therefore in a loss position diluted EPU is equal to basic EPU. There were no potential dilutive common units and there were no anti-dilutive units other than the special common units, and common units issued upon the conversion or redemption of special common units, outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Schedule of New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles

Accounting Guidance Adopted    

Description	Expected Adoption Date & Application Method	Financial Statement Effect and Other Information
Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments	January 1, 2020 - Modified Retrospective	The guidance replaced the current incurred loss impairment model, which reflects credit events, with a current expected credit loss model, which recognizes an allowance for credit losses based on an entity’s estimate of contractual cash flows not expected to be collected. The Company has determined that its available-for-sale debt securities, guarantees, mortgage and other notes receivable and receivables within the scope of ASC 606 fall under the scope of this standard. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or disclosures.
ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement	January 1, 2020 - Prospective	The guidance eliminates, adds and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. Entities no longer are required to disclose the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy, but public companies are required to disclose the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or disclosures.
ASU 2018-15, Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract	January 1, 2020 - Prospective	The guidance addresses diversity in practice in accounting for the costs of implementation activities in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract. Under the guidance, the Company is to follow Subtopic 350-40 on internal-use software to determine which implementation costs to capitalize and which to expense. The guidance also requires an entity to expense capitalized implementation costs over the term of the hosting arrangement and include that expense in the same line item as the fees associated with the service element of the arrangement. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

Lease Modification Q&A	April 1, 2020 – Prospective	In April 2020, the FASB issued a question-and-answer document (the “Lease Modification Q&A”) focused on the application of lease accounting guidance related to lease concessions provided as a result of COVID-19. Under existing lease guidance, the Company would have to determine, on a lease by lease basis, if a lease concession was the result of a new arrangement reached with the tenant (treated within the lease modification accounting framework) or if a lease concession was under the enforceable rights and obligations within the existing lease agreement (precluded from applying the lease modification accounting framework). The Lease Modification Q&A clarifies that entities may elect to not evaluate whether lease-related relief that lessors provide to mitigate the economic effects of COVID-19 on lessees is a lease modification under Topic 842, Leases. Instead, an entity that elects not to evaluate whether a concession directly related to COVID-19 is a modification can then elect whether to apply the modification guidance (i.e. assume the relief was always contemplated by the contract or assume the relief was not contemplated by the contract). Both lessees and lessors may make this election. The Company has elected to apply the relief provided under the Lease Modification Q&A and will avail itself of the election to avoid performing a lease by lease analysis for the lease concessions that were (1) granted as relief due to the COVID-19 pandemic and (2) result in the cash flows remaining substantially the same or less than the original contract. The Lease Modification Q&A had a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020. However, its future impact to the Company is dependent upon the extent of lease concessions granted to tenants as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in future periods and the elections made by the Company at the time of entering such concessions. The Lease Modification Q&A allows the Company to determine accounting policy elections at a disaggregated level, and the elections should be applied consistently by either the type of concession, underlying asset class or on another reasonable basis. As a result, the Company has made the following policy elections based on the type of concession agreed to with the respective tenant. Rent Deferrals The Company will account for rental deferrals using the receivables model as described within the Lease Modification Q&A. Under the receivables model, the Company will continue to recognize lease revenue in a manner that is unchanged from the original lease agreement and continue to recognize lease receivables and rental revenue during the deferral period. Rent Abatements The Company will account for rental abatements using the negative variable income model as described within the Lease Modification Q&A. Under the negative variable income model, the Company will recognize negative variable rent for the current period reduction of rental revenue associated with any lease concessions it provides.
		At December 31, 2020, the Company’s receivables included $18,526 related to receivables that had been deferred and are to be repaid generally throughout 2021, and extending for a portion of 2022. The Company granted abatements of $25,439 during the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company continues to assess rent relief requests from its tenants but is unable to predict the resolution or impact of these discussions. For agreements that are currently under negotiation, the Company does not expect the impact to be material.
Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted
Description		Financial Statement Effect and Other Information
ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform		On March 12, 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) - Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or other reference rates expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. This ASU is effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company has not adopted any of the optional expedients or exceptions as of December 31, 2020, but will continue to evaluate the possible adoption of any such expedients or exceptions during the effective period to determine the impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Schedule of Debt Securities, Available-for-sale Measured at Fair Value

The following table sets forth information regarding the Company’s AFS securities that were measured at fair value for the year ended December 31, 2020:

AFS Security	Amortized Cost		Allowance for credit losses (1)		Total unrealized gains/(losses)		Fair Value
U.S. Treasury securities	$	233,053	$	—	$	18	$	233,071

(1) U.S Treasury securities have a long history with no credit losses. Additionally, the Company notes that U.S Treasury securities are explicitly fully guaranteed by a sovereign entity that can print its own currency and that the sovereign entity’s currency is routinely held by central banks and other major financial institutions, is used in international commerce, and commonly viewed as a reserve currency, all of which qualitatively indicate that historical credit loss information should be minimally affected by current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Therefore, the Company did not record expected credit losses for its U.S Treasury securities for the year ended December 31, 2020.   

Schedule of Assets Measured at Fair Value on Nonrecurring Basis

(1) The Company adjusted the book value of the mall to the net sales price of $17,640 in a signed contract with a third-party buyer, adjusted for disposition costs. The mall was sold in July 2018. See Note 7 for additional information.

(2) The long-lived asset was not included in the Company's consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2018 as the Company no longer had an interest in the property.

(3) In June 2018, the Company was notified by IKEA that, as a result of a shift in its corporate strategy, it was terminating the contract to purchase land at the mall upon which it would develop and open a store. Under the terms of the interest-only non-recourse loan secured by the mall, the loan matured on the date the IKEA contract terminated if that date was prior to the scheduled maturity date of March 5, 2019. The Company engaged in conversations with the lender regarding a potential restructure of the loan. Based on the results of these conversations, the Company concluded that an impairment was required because it was unlikely to recover the asset's net carrying value through future cash flows. Management determined the fair value of Cary Towne Center using a discounted cash flow methodology. The discounted cash flow used assumptions including a holding period of ten years, a capitalization rate of 12.0% and a discount rate of 13%. In December 2018, the Company adjusted the book value of the property to the net sales price of $30,971 based on a signed contract with a third-party buyer. The property sold in January 2019. See Note 9 for additional information.

(4) In accordance with the Company's quarterly impairment review process, the Company wrote down the book value of land to its estimated value of $8,100. The Company evaluated comparable land parcel transactions and determined that $8,100 was the land's estimated fair value.

(5) The Company adjusted the book value of the anchor parcel and the vacant land to the net sales price of $3,920 in a signed contract with a third party buyer, adjusted to reflect estimated disposition costs. The property was sold in January 2019.

(6) In accordance with the Company's quarterly impairment process, the Company wrote down the book value of the mall to its estimated fair value of $26,450. The mall had experienced a deterioration in cash flows as a result of the downturn of the economy in its market area and four vacant anchors with no active prospects to replace these anchor stores. Management determined the fair value of Eastland Mall using a discounted cash flow methodology. The discount cash flow used assumptions including a holding period of ten years, with a sale at the end of the holding period, a capitalization rate of 15.0% and a discount rate of 17.0%.

(7) In accordance with the Company's quarterly impairment process, the Company wrote down the book value of the mall to its estimated fair value of $16,400. The mall had experienced a decline in cash flows due to store closures and rent reductions. Additionally, two anchors were vacant as of December 31, 2018, and a third anchor announced during the fourth quarter of 2018 that it would be closing during the first quarter of 2019. Management determined the fair value of Honey Creek Mall using a discounted cash flow methodology. The discounted cash flow used assumptions including a holding period of ten years, with a sale at the end of the holding period, a capitalization rate of 18.0% and a discount rate of 20.0%.

(8) The Company adjusted the book value of the land contributed to a joint venture to its agreed upon fair value based on the joint venture agreement with its partner, Continental 425 Fund LLC. See Note 8 for more information.

(3) Based on the Company’s TSR relative to the NAREIT Retail Index for the three-year performance period ended December 31, 2020, none of the 2018 PSUs were earned as of December 31, 2020.

(4) None of the PSUs outstanding at December 31, 2020 were vested.

Schedule of Assumptions used in the Monte Carlo Simulation Pricing Models

The following table summarizes the assumptions used in the Monte Carlo simulation pricing model related to the PSUs:

	2020 PSUs			2019 PSUs			2018 PSUs
Grant date	February 10, 2020 (1)			February 11, 2019			February 12, 2018 (2)
Fair value per share on valuation date (3)	$	0.84		$	4.74		$	4.76
Risk-free interest rate (4)		1.39	%		2.54	%		2.36	%
Expected share price volatility (5)		57.98	%		60.99	%		42.02	%

(1) The 2020 PSU awards were cancelled in August 2020.

(2) Based on the Company’s TSR relative to the NAREIT Retail Index for the three-year performance period ended December 31, 2020, none of the 2018 PSUs were earned as of December 31, 2020.

(3) The value of the PSU awards is estimated on the date of grant using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The valuation consists of computing the fair value using CBL's simulated stock price as well as TSR over a three-year performance period. The award is modeled as a contingent claim in that the expected return on the underlying shares is risk-free and the rate of discounting the payoff of the award is also risk-free. The weighted-average fair value per share related to the 2020 PSUs classified as equity consists of 2,131,245 shares at a fair value of $0.88 (which relate to relative TSR) and 1,065,463 shares at fair value of $0.75 per share (which relate to absolute TSR). The weighted-average fair value per share related to the 2019 PSUs classified as equity consists of 357,800 shares at a fair value of $2.45 per share (which relate to relative TSR) and 178,875 shares at a fair value of $2.29 per share (which relate to absolute TSR). The weighted-average fair value per share related to the 2018 PSUs classified as equity consists of 240,164 shares at a fair value of $3.13 per share (which relate to relative TSR) and 120,064 shares at a fair value of $1.63 per share (which relate to absolute TSR).

(4) The risk-free interest rate was based on the yield curve on zero-coupon U.S. Treasury securities in effect as of the valuation date, which is the respective grant date listed above.

(5) The computation of expected volatility was based on a blend of the historical volatility of CBL's shares of common stock based on annualized daily total continuous returns over a five-year period for the 2020 PSUs and a three-year period for the 2019 and 2018 PSUs and implied volatility data based on the trailing month average of daily implied volatilities implied by stock call option contracts that were both closest to the terms shown and closest to the money.
