EXPLANATORY NOTE

This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2020 of Mack-Cali Realty Corporation and Mack-Cali Realty, L.P. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to the “Operating Partnership” mean Mack-Cali Realty, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, and references to the “General Partner” mean Mack-Cali Realty Corporation, a Maryland corporation and real estate investment trust (“REIT”), and its subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership. References to the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” mean collectively the General Partner, the Operating Partnership and those entities/subsidiaries consolidated by the General Partner.

The Operating Partnership conducts the business of providing leasing, management, acquisition, development, construction and tenant-related services for its General Partner. The Operating Partnership, through its operating divisions and subsidiaries, including the Mack-Cali property-owning partnerships and limited liability companies is the entity through which all of the General Partner’s operations are conducted. The General Partner is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and has exclusive control of the Operating Partnership’s day-to-day management.

As of March 31, 2020, the General Partner owned an approximate 90.5 percent common unit interest in the Operating Partnership. The remaining approximate 9.5 percent common unit interest is owned by limited partners. The limited partners of the Operating Partnership are (1) persons who contributed their interests in properties to the Operating Partnership in exchange for common units (each, a “Common Unit”) or preferred units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership or (2) recipients of long term incentive plan units of the Operating Partnership pursuant to the General Partner’s executive compensation plans.

A Common Unit of the Operating Partnership and a share of common stock of the General Partner (the “Common Stock”) have substantially the same economic characteristics in as much as they effectively share equally in the net income or loss of the Company.  The General Partner owns a number of common units of the Operating Partnership equal to the number of issued and outstanding shares of the General Partner’s common stock. Common unitholders (other than the General Partner) have the right to redeem their Common Units, subject to certain restrictions under the Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Operating Partnership, as amended (the “Partnership Agreement”) and agreed upon at the time of issuance of the units that may restrict such right for a period of time, generally one year from issuance.  The redemption is required to be satisfied in shares of Common Stock of the General Partner, cash, or a combination thereof, calculated as follows:  one share of the General Partner’s Common Stock, or cash equal to the fair market value of a share of the General Partner’s Common Stock at the time of redemption, for each Common Unit.  The General Partner, in its sole discretion, determines the form of redemption of Common Units (i.e., whether a common unitholder receives Common Stock of the General Partner, cash, or any combination thereof).  If the General Partner elects to satisfy the redemption with shares of Common Stock of the General Partner as opposed to cash, the General Partner is obligated to issue shares of its Common Stock to the redeeming unitholder.  Regardless of the rights described above, the common unitholders may not put their units for cash to the Company or the General Partner under any circumstances. With each such redemption, the General Partner’s percentage ownership in the Operating Partnership will increase. In addition, whenever the General Partner issues shares of its Common Stock other than to acquire Common Units, the General Partner must contribute any net proceeds it receives to the Operating Partnership and the Operating Partnership must issue to the General Partner an equivalent number of Common Units. This structure is commonly referred to as an umbrella partnership REIT, or UPREIT.

The Company believes that combining the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of the General Partner and the Operating Partnership into this single report provides the following benefits:

enhance investors’ understanding of the General Partner and the Operating Partnership by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business of the Company;

eliminate duplicative disclosure and provide a more streamlined and readable presentation because a substantial portion of the disclosure applies to both the General Partner and the Operating Partnership; and

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

The Company believes it is important to understand the few differences between the General Partner and the Operating Partnership in the context of how they operate as a consolidated company. The financial results of the Operating Partnership are consolidated into the financial statements of the General Partner. The General Partner does not have any other significant assets, liabilities or operations, other than its interests in the Operating Partnership, nor does the Operating Partnership have employees of its own. The Operating Partnership, not the General Partner, generally executes all significant business relationships other than transactions involving the securities of the General Partner. The Operating Partnership holds substantially all of the assets of the General Partner, including ownership interests in joint ventures. The Operating Partnership conducts the operations of the business and is structured as a partnership with no publicly traded equity. Except for the net proceeds from equity offerings by the General Partner, which are contributed to the

2

capital of the Operating Partnership in consideration of common or preferred units in the Operating Partnership, as applicable, the Operating Partnership generates all remaining capital required by the Company’s business. These sources include working capital, net cash provided by operating activities, borrowings under the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility and unsecured term loan facilities, the issuance of secured and unsecured debt and equity securities and proceeds received from the disposition of properties and joint ventures.

Shareholders’ equity, partners’ capital and noncontrolling interests are the main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of the General Partner and the Operating Partnership. The limited partners of the Operating Partnership are accounted for as partners’ capital in the Operating Partnership’s financial statements as is the General Partner’s interest in the Operating Partnership. The noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership’s financial statements comprise the interests of unaffiliated partners in various consolidated partnerships and development joint venture partners. The noncontrolling interests in the General Partner’s financial statements are the same noncontrolling interests at the Operating Partnership’s level and include limited partners of the Operating Partnership. The differences between shareholders’ equity and partners’ capital result from differences in the equity issued at the General Partner and Operating Partnership levels.

To help investors better understand the key differences between the General Partner and the Operating Partnership, certain information for the General Partner and the Operating Partnership in this report has been separated, as set forth below:

Item 1.   Financial Statements (unaudited), which includes the following specific disclosures for Mack-Cali Realty Corporation and Mack-Cali Realty, L.P.:

MACK-CALI REALTY CORPORATION, MACK-CALI REALTY, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

1.    ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Organization

Mack-Cali Realty Corporation, a Maryland corporation, together with its subsidiaries (collectively, the “General Partner”) is a fully-integrated self-administered, self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”). The General Partner controls Mack-Cali Realty, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, together with its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Operating Partnership”), as its sole general partner and owned a 90.5 and 90.4 percent common unit interest in the Operating Partnership as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The General Partner’s business is the ownership of interests in and operation of the Operating Partnership and all of the General Partner’s expenses are incurred for the benefit of the Operating Partnership. The General Partner is reimbursed by the Operating Partnership for all expenses it incurs relating to the ownership and operation of the Operating Partnership.

The Operating Partnership conducts the business of providing leasing, management, acquisition, development and tenant-related services for its General Partner. The Operating Partnership, through its operating divisions and subsidiaries, including the Mack-Cali property-owning partnerships and limited liability companies, is the entity through which all of the General Partner’s operations are conducted. Unless stated otherwise or the context requires, the “Company” refers to the General Partner and its subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries.

As of March 31, 2020, the Company owned or had interests in 71 real estate properties (the “Properties”). The Properties are comprised of 41 office buildings totaling approximately 10.5 million square feet and leased to approximately 325 tenants (which include two buildings, aggregating approximately 0.2 million square feet owned by unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Company has investment interests), 22 multi-family properties, totaling 6,850 apartment units (which include seven properties aggregating 2,611 apartment units owned by unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Company has investment interests), four parking/retail properties totaling approximately 108,000 square feet (which include a building aggregating 51,000 square feet owned by unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Company has investment interests), three hotels containing 723 rooms (one of which is owned by an unconsolidated joint venture in which the Company has an investment interest) and a parcel of land leased to a third party. The Properties are located in four states in the Northeast, plus the District of Columbia.

On December 19, 2019, the Company announced that its Board had determined to sell the Company’s entire suburban New Jersey office portfolio totaling approximately 6.6 million square feet (collectively, the “Suburban Office Portfolio”).  As the decision to sell the Suburban Office Portfolio represented a strategic shift in the Company’s operations, the portfolio’s results are being classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented herein. See Note 7: Discontinued Operations.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include all accounts of the Company, its majority-owned and/or controlled subsidiaries, which consist principally of the Operating Partnership and variable interest entities for which the Company has determined itself to be the primary beneficiary, if any. See Note 2: Significant Accounting Policies – Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures, for the Company’s treatment of unconsolidated joint venture interests. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, Consolidation, provides guidance on the identification of entities for which control is achieved through means other than voting rights (“variable interest entities” or “VIEs”) and the determination of which business enterprise, if any, should consolidate the VIEs. Generally, the consideration of whether an entity is a VIE applies when either: (1) the equity investors (if any) lack (i) the ability to make decisions about the entity’s activities through voting or similar rights, (ii) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity, or (iii) the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity; (2) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support; or (3) the equity investors have voting rights that are not proportionate to their economic interests and substantially all of the activities of the entity involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor with a disproportionately small voting interest. The Company consolidates VIEs in which it is considered to be the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is defined by the entity having both of the following characteristics: (1) the power to direct the activities that, when taken together, most significantly impact the variable interest entity’s performance: and (2) the obligation to absorb losses and right to receive the returns from the VIE that would be significant to the VIE.

On January 1, 2016, the Company adopted accounting guidance under ASC 810, Consolidation, modifying the analysis it must perform to determine whether it should consolidate certain types of legal entities. The guidance does not amend the existing disclosure requirements for variable interest entities or voting interest model entities. The guidance, however, modified the requirements to qualify under the voting interest model. Under the revised guidance, the Operating Partnership will be a variable interest entity of the parent

16

company, Mack-Cali Realty Corporation. As the Operating Partnership is already consolidated in the balance sheets of Mack-Cali Realty Corporation, the identification of this entity as a variable interest entity has no impact on the consolidated financial statements of Mack-Cali Realty Corporation. There were no other legal entities qualifying under the scope of the revised guidance that were consolidated as a result of the adoption.

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company’s investments in consolidated real estate joint ventures, which are variable interest entities in which the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary, other than Roseland Residential, L.P. (See Note 15: Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests – Rockpoint Transaction), have total real estate assets of $503.4 million and $503.1 million, respectively, mortgages of $283.7 million and $283.7 million, respectively, and other liabilities of $19.6 million and $18.9 million, respectively. 

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP. 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 reporting period. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s historical experience that are believed to be reasonable at the time. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts in order to conform with current period presentation, primarily related to classification of certain properties as discontinued operations.

2.    SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Rental Property

Rental properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Costs directly related to the acquisition, development and construction of rental properties are capitalized. The Company adopted FASB guidance Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-01 on January 1, 2017, which revises the definition of a business and is expected to result in more transactions to be accounted for as asset acquisitions and significantly limit transactions that would be accounted for as business combinations. Where an acquisition has been determined to be an asset acquisition, acquisition-related costs are capitalized. Capitalized development and construction costs include pre-construction costs essential to the development of the property, development and construction costs, interest, property taxes, insurance, salaries and other project costs incurred during the period of development. Capitalized development and construction salaries and related costs approximated $0.5 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred; major replacements and betterments, which improve or extend the life of the asset, are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Fully-depreciated assets are removed from the accounts.  

Included in net investment in rental property as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 is real estate and building and tenant improvements not in service, as follows (dollars in thousands):

		March 31,		December 31,

The Company considers a construction project as substantially completed and held available for occupancy upon the substantial completion of improvements, but no later than one year from cessation of major construction activity (as distinguished from activities such as routine maintenance and cleanup). If portions of a rental project are substantially completed and occupied by tenants or residents, or held available for occupancy, and other portions have not yet reached that stage, the substantially completed portions are accounted for as a separate project. The Company allocates costs incurred between the portions under construction and the portions substantially completed and held available for occupancy, primarily based on a percentage of the relative commercial square footage or multi-family units of each portion, and capitalizes only those costs associated with the portion under construction.

17

Properties are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives are as follows:

Leasehold interests	Remaining lease term
Buildings and improvements	5 to 40 years
Tenant improvements	The shorter of the term of the
	related lease or useful life
Furniture, fixtures and equipment	5 to 10 years

Upon acquisition of rental property, the Company estimates the fair value of acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, building and improvements, and identified intangible assets and liabilities assumed, generally consisting of the fair value of (i) above and below-market leases, (ii) in-place leases and (iii) tenant relationships. For asset acquisitions, the Company allocates the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values. The Company records goodwill or a gain on bargain purchase (if any) if the net assets acquired/liabilities assumed differ from the purchase consideration of a business combination transaction.

In estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired, the Company considers information obtained about each property as a result of its due diligence and marketing and leasing activities, and utilizes various valuation methods, such as estimated cash flow projections utilizing appropriate discount and capitalization rates, estimates of replacement costs net of depreciation, and available market information. The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property considers the value of the property as if it were vacant.

Above-market and below-market lease values for acquired properties are initially recorded based on the present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for each corresponding in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above-market leases and the remaining initial term plus the term of any below-market fixed rate renewal options for below-market leases. The capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of base rental revenue over the remaining terms of the respective leases, and the capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to base rental revenue over the remaining initial terms plus the terms of any below-market fixed rate renewal options of the respective leases.

Other intangible assets acquired include amounts for in-place lease values and tenant relationship values, which are based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and the Company’s overall relationship with the respective tenant. Factors to be considered by management in its analysis of in-place lease values include an estimate of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions, and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, management includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up periods, depending on local market conditions. In estimating costs to execute similar leases, management considers leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses. Characteristics considered by management in valuing tenant relationships include the nature and extent of the Company’s existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenant’s credit quality and expectations of lease renewals. The values of in-place leases are amortized to expense over the remaining initial terms of the respective leases. The values of tenant relationship intangibles are amortized to expense over the anticipated life of the relationships or leases.

On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of the Company’s rental properties held for use may be impaired. In addition to identifying any specific circumstances which may affect a property or properties, management considers other criteria for determining which properties may require assessment for potential impairment. The criteria considered by management, depending on the type of property, may include reviewing low leased percentages, significant near-term lease expirations, current and historical operating and/or cash flow losses, construction cost overruns and/or other factors, including those that might impact the Company’s intent and ability to hold the property. A property’s value is impaired only if management’s estimate of the aggregate future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) to be generated by the property over its estimated holding period is less than the carrying value of the property. If there are different possible scenarios for a property, the Company will take a probability-weighted approach to estimating future cash flow scenarios. To the extent impairment has occurred, the impairment loss is measured as the excess of the carrying value of the property over the fair value of the property. The Company’s estimates of aggregate future cash flows expected to be generated and estimated fair values for each property are based on a number of assumptions, including but not limited to estimated holding periods, market capitalization rates and discount rates, if applicable. For developable land holdings, an estimated per-unit market value assumption is also considered based on development rights for the land. These assumptions are generally based on management’s experience in its local real estate markets and the effects of current market conditions. The assumptions are subject to economic and market uncertainties including, among others, demand for space, competition for tenants, changes in market rental rates, and costs to operate each property. As these factors are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter management’s assumptions, the future cash flows estimated by management in its impairment analyses may not be

18

achieved, and actual losses or impairments may be realized in the future.

Real Estate Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations

When assets are identified by management as held for sale, the Company discontinues depreciating the assets and estimates the sales price, net of selling costs, of such assets. The Company generally considers assets (as identified by their disposal groups) to be held for sale when the transaction has received appropriate corporate authority, it is probable to be sold within the following 12 months, and there are no significant contingencies relating to a sale. If, in management’s opinion, the estimated net sales price, net of selling costs, of the disposal groups which have been identified as held for sale is less than the carrying value of the assets, a valuation allowance (which is recorded as unrealized losses on disposition of rental property) is established. In the absence of an executed sales agreement with a set sales price, management’s estimate of the net sales price may be based on a number of assumptions, including but not limited to the Company’s estimates of future and stabilized cash flows, market capitalization rates and discount rates, if applicable. For developable land, an estimated per-unit market value assumption is also considered based on development rights for the land. In addition, the Company classifies assets held for sale or sold as discontinued operations if the disposal groups represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. For any disposals qualifying as discontinued operations, the assets and their results are presented in discontinued operations in the financial statements for all periods presented. See Note 7: Discontinued Operations.

If circumstances arise that previously were considered unlikely and, as a result, the Company decides not to sell an asset previously classified as held for sale, the asset is reclassified as held and used. An asset that is reclassified is measured and recorded individually at the lower of (a) its carrying value before the asset was classified as held for sale, adjusted for any depreciation (amortization) expense that would have been recognized had the asset been continuously classified as held and used, or (b) the fair value at the date of the subsequent decision not to sell. 

Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures 

The Company accounts for its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures under the equity method of accounting. The Company applies the equity method by initially recording these investments at cost, as Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures, subsequently adjusted for equity in earnings and cash contributions and distributions. The outside basis portion of the Company’s joint ventures is amortized over the anticipated useful lives of the underlying ventures’ tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Generally, the Company would discontinue applying the equity method when the investment (and any advances) is reduced to zero and would not provide for additional losses unless the Company has guaranteed obligations of the venture or is otherwise committed to providing further financial support for the investee. If the venture subsequently generates income, the Company only recognizes its share of such income to the extent it exceeds its share of previously unrecognized losses.

If the venture subsequently makes distributions and the Company does not have an implied or actual commitment to support the operations of the venture, the Company will not record a basis less than zero, rather such amounts will be recorded as equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures. 

On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of the Company’s investments in unconsolidated joint ventures may be impaired. An investment is impaired only if management’s estimate of the value of the investment is less than the carrying value of the investment, and such decline in value is deemed to be other than temporary. To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss shall be measured as the excess of the carrying value of the investment over the value of the investment. The Company’s estimates of value for each investment (particularly in real estate joint ventures) are based on a number of assumptions including but not limited to estimates of future and stabilized cash flows, market capitalization rates and discount rates, if applicable. These assumptions are based on management's experience in its local real estate markets and the effects of current market conditions. The assumptions are subject to economic and market uncertainties including, among others, demand for space, competition for tenants, changes in market rental rates, and operating costs. As these factors are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter management’s assumptions, the values estimated by management in its impairment analyses may not be realized, and actual losses or impairment may be realized in the future. See Note 4: Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures. 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

All highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased are considered to be cash equivalents. 

Deferred Financing Costs

Costs incurred in obtaining financing are capitalized and amortized over the term of the related indebtedness. Deferred financing costs are presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the debt liability to which they relate, except deferred financing costs related to the revolving credit facility, which are presented in deferred charges, goodwill and other assets. In all cases,

19

amortization of such costs is included in interest expense and was $1,024,000 and $1,189,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. If a financing obligation is extinguished early, any unamortized deferred financing costs are written off and included in gains (losses) from extinguishment of debt.

Deferred Leasing Costs/Leasing Personnel Costs

Costs incurred in connection with successfully executed commercial and residential leases were capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases and included in depreciation and amortization. Unamortized deferred leasing costs were charged to amortization expense upon early termination of the lease. Certain employees of the Company are compensated for providing leasing services to the Properties. Upon the adoption of ASC 842 on January 1, 2019, the Company no longer capitalizes such costs, and includes such leasing personnel costs in General and administrative expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations, which amounted to $1,038,000 and $742,000 for the three months ended and March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is allocated to various reporting units, as applicable. Each of the Company’s segments consists of a reporting unit. Goodwill is not amortized. Management performs an annual impairment test for goodwill during the fourth quarter and between annual tests, management evaluates the recoverability of goodwill whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of goodwill may not be fully recoverable. In its impairment tests of goodwill, management first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If, based on this assessment, management determines that the fair value of the reporting unit is not less than its carrying value, then performing the additional two-step impairment test is unnecessary. If the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is recognized.

Derivative Instruments

The Company measures derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, at fair value and records them as an asset or liability, depending on the Company’s rights or obligations under the applicable derivative contract. For derivatives designated and qualifying as fair value hedges, the changes in the fair value of both the derivative instrument and the hedged item are recorded in earnings. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portions of the derivative are reported in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and are subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged item affects earnings. Changes in fair value of derivative instruments not designated as hedging and ineffective portions of hedges are recognized in earnings in the affected period.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from leases includes fixed base rents under leases, which are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases. Unbilled rents receivable represents the cumulative amount by which straight-line rental revenue exceeds rents currently billed in accordance with the lease agreements.

Above-market and below-market lease values for acquired properties are initially recorded based on the present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for each corresponding in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above-market leases and the remaining initial term plus the term of any below-market fixed-rate renewal options for below-market leases. The capitalized above-market lease values for acquired properties are amortized as a reduction of revenue from leases over the remaining terms of the respective leases, and the capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to revenue from leases over the remaining initial terms plus the terms of any below-market fixed-rate renewal options of the respective leases.

The Company elected a practical expedient for its rental properties (as lessor) to avoid separating non-lease components that otherwise would need to be accounted for under the recently-adopted revenue accounting guidance (such as tenant reimbursements of property operating expenses) from the associated lease component since (1) the non-lease components have the same timing and pattern of transfer as the associated lease component and (2) the lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease; this enables the Company to account for the combination of the lease component and non-lease components as an operating lease since the lease component is the predominant component of the combined components.   

Due to the Company’s adoption of the practical expedient discussed above to not separate non-lease component revenue from the associated lease component, the Company is aggregating revenue from its lease components and non-lease components (comprised predominantly of tenant operating expense reimbursements) into the line entitled “Revenue from leases.” 

20

Revenue from leases also includes reimbursements and recoveries from tenants received from tenants for certain costs as provided in the lease agreements. These costs generally include real estate taxes, utilities, insurance, common area maintenance and other recoverable costs. See Note 14: Tenant Leases.

Real estate services revenue includes property management, development, construction and leasing commission fees and other services, and payroll and related costs reimbursed from clients. Fee income derived from the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures (which are capitalized by such ventures) are recognized to the extent attributable to the unaffiliated ownership interests.

Parking income includes income from parking spaces leased to tenants and others.

Hotel income includes all revenue earned from hotel properties.

Other income includes income from tenants for additional services arranged for by the Company and income from tenants for early lease terminations.

All bad debt expense is being recorded as a reduction of the corresponding revenue account starting on January 1, 2019. Management performs a detailed review of amounts due from tenants for collectability based on factors affecting the billings and status of individual tenants. The factors considered by management in determining which individual tenant’s revenues are affected include the age of the receivable, the tenant’s payment history, the nature of the charges, any communications regarding the charges and other related information. Management’s estimate of bad debt write-off’s requires management to exercise judgment about the timing, frequency and severity of collection losses, which affects the revenue recorded. 

Income and Other Taxes

The General Partner has elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “IRS Code”). As a REIT, the General Partner generally will not be subject to corporate federal income tax on net income that it currently distributes to its shareholders, provided that the General Partner satisfies certain organizational and operational requirements including the requirement to distribute at least 90 percent of its REIT taxable income (determined by excluding any net capital gains) to its shareholders. If and to the extent the General Partner retains and does not distribute any net capital gains, the General Partner will be required to pay federal, state and local taxes, as applicable, on such net capital gains at the rate applicable to capital gains of a corporation.

The Operating Partnership is a partnership, and, as a result, all income and losses of the partnership are allocated to the partners for inclusion in their respective tax returns. Accordingly, no provision or benefit for income taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements.

The General Partner has elected to treat certain of its corporate subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries (each a “TRS”). In general, a TRS of the General Partner may perform additional services for tenants of the Company and generally may engage in any real estate or non-real estate related business (except for the operation or management of health care facilities or lodging facilities or the providing to any person, under a franchise, license or otherwise, rights to any brand name under which any lodging facility or health care facility is operated). A TRS is subject to corporate federal income tax. The General Partner has conducted business through its TRS entities for certain property management, development, construction and other related services, as well as to hold a joint venture interest in a hotel and other matters.

The deferred tax asset balance at March 31, 2020 amounted to $10.1 million which has been fully reserved through a valuation allowance. New tax reform legislation enacted in late 2017 reduced the corporate tax rate to 21 percent, effective January 1, 2018.  Consequently, the Company’s deferred tax assets were re-measured to reflect the reduction in the future U.S. corporate income tax rate as of the enactment date. As a result, the Company recorded a decrease related to its deferred tax assets of $5.3 million and a decrease to the associated valuation allowance of $5.3 million at December 31, 2017. If the General Partner fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates. The Company is subject to certain state and local taxes.

Pursuant to the amended provisions related to uncertain tax provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes, the Company recognized no material adjustments regarding its tax accounting treatment. The Company expects to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, as income tax expense, which is included in general and administrative expense.

In the normal course of business, the Company or one of its subsidiaries is subject to examination by federal, state and local jurisdictions in which it operates, where applicable. As of March 31, 2020, the tax years that remain subject to examination by the major tax jurisdictions under the statute of limitations are generally from the year 2015 forward.

21

Earnings Per Share or Unit 

The Company presents both basic and diluted earnings per share or unit (“EPS or EPU”). Basic EPS or EPU excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders or unitholders by the weighted average number of shares or units outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS or EPU reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock, where such exercise or conversion would result in a lower EPS or EPU from continuing operations amount. Shares or units whose issuance is contingent upon the satisfaction of certain conditions shall be considered outstanding and included in the computation of diluted EPS or EPU as follows (i) if all necessary conditions have been satisfied by the end of the period (the events have occurred), those shares or units shall be included as of the beginning of the period in which the conditions were satisfied (or as of the date of the grant, if later) or (ii) if all necessary conditions have not been satisfied by the end of the period, the number of contingently issuable shares or units included in diluted EPS or EPU shall be based on the number of shares or units, if any, that would be issuable if the end of the reporting period were the end of the contingency period (for example, the number of shares or units that would be issuable based on current period earnings or period-end market price) and if the result would be dilutive. Those contingently issuable shares or units shall be included in the denominator of diluted EPS or EPU as of the beginning of the period (or as of the date of the grant, if later).

Dividends and Distributions Payable

The dividends and distributions payable at March 31, 2020 represents dividends payable to common shareholders (90,596,168 shares) and distributions payable to noncontrolling interests unitholders of the Operating Partnership (9,394,754 common units and 3,218,208 vested and unvested LTIP units), for all such holders of record as of April 2, 2020 with respect to the first quarter 2020. The first quarter 2020 common stock dividends and unit distributions of $0.20 per common share (total of $18.1 million), common unit (total of $1.9 million) and LTIP unit (total of $0.4 million) were approved by the General Partner’s Board of Directors on March 23, 2020 and paid on April 14, 2020.

The dividends and distributions payable at December 31, 2019 represents dividends payable to common shareholders (90,595,197 shares) and distributions payable to noncontrolling interests unitholders of the Operating Partnership (9,488,794 common units and 1,949,601 vested and unvested LTIP units) for all such holders of record as of January 3, 2020 with respect to the fourth quarter 2019. The fourth quarter 2019 common stock dividends and unit distributions of $0.20 per common share (total of $18.1 million), common unit (total of $1.9 million) and LTIP unit (total of $0.4 million) were approved by the General Partner’s Board of Directors on December 17, 2019 and paid on January 10, 2020.

Costs Incurred For Stock Issuances

Costs incurred in connection with the Company’s stock issuances are reflected as a reduction of additional paid-in capital.

Stock Compensation

The Company accounts for stock compensation in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. These provisions require that the estimated fair value of restricted stock (“Restricted Stock Awards”), performance share units, long-term incentive plan awards and stock options at the grant date be amortized ratably into expense over the appropriate vesting period. The Company recorded stock compensation expense of $2,530,000 and $1,880,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Other comprehensive income (loss) includes items that are recorded in equity, such as effective portions of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges or unrealized holding gains or losses on marketable securities available for sale.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

The Company evaluates the terms of the partnership units issued in accordance with the FASB’s Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity guidance. Units which embody an unconditional obligation requiring the Company to redeem the units for cash after a specified or determinable date (or dates) or upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within the control of the issuer are determined to be contingently redeemable under this guidance and are included as Redeemable noncontrolling interests and classified within the mezzanine section between Total liabilities and Stockholders’ equity on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The carrying amount of the redeemable noncontrolling interests will be changed by periodic accretions, so that the carrying amount will equal the estimated future redemption value at the redemption date.

22

Fair Value Hierarchy

The standard Fair Value Measurements specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based upon whether the inputs to those valuation techniques reflect assumptions other market participants would use based upon market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs). The following summarizes the fair value hierarchy:

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets that are unadjusted and accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

Level 2: Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are inactive, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals and

Level 3: Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

Impact of Recently-Issued Accounting Standards

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (“ASU 2016-13”). The guidance introduces a new model for estimating credit losses for certain types of financial instruments, including trade and lease receivables, loans receivable, held-to-maturity debt securities, and net investments in direct financing leases, amongst other financial instruments. ASU 2016-13 also modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities and expands the disclosure requirements regarding an entity’s assumptions, models, and methods for estimating the allowance for losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging: Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities (“ASU 2017-12”). The purpose of ASU 2017-12 is to better align a company’s financial reporting for hedging activities with the economic objectives of those activities. The Company has adopted ASU 2017-12 on January 1, 2019. ASU 2017-12 requires a modified retrospective transition method which requires a cumulative effect of the change on the opening balance of each affected component of equity in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of the date of adoption. Upon adoption the Company recorded a cumulative adjustment specifically related to the elimination of the requirement for separate measurement of hedge ineffectiveness. As a result, the Company recorded an opening balance adjustment as of January 1, 2019 to dividends in excess of net earnings of $0.4 million with a corresponding change to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

(a)The Emery at Overlook Ridge property consists of a total of 326 multi-family units. The remaining 225 multi-family units are currently in construction and are expected to be placed in service in mid- 2020.

Consolidation

On March 12, 2020, the Company, acquired its equity partner's 80 percent interest in Port Imperial North Retail L.L.C., a ground floor retail space totaling 30,745 square feet located at Port Imperial, West New York, New Jersey for $13.3 million in cash (funded through borrowing under the Company’s unsecured credit facility.) The results of the transaction increased the Company’s interest to 100 percent. Upon the acquisition, the Company consolidated the MC Roseland North Retail L.L.C. joint venture, a voting interest entity. As an acquisition of the remaining interests in the venture which owns the Port Imperial North Retail L.L.C., the Company accounted for the transaction as an asset acquisition under a cost accumulation model, no gain on change of control of interest was recognized in consolidation, resulting in total consolidated net assets of $15.0 million, which are allocated as follows:

		Port Imperial North Retail L.L.C.
Land and leasehold interests	$	4,305
Buildings and improvements and other assets, net		8,912
In-place lease values (a)		1,503
Above/Below market lease value, net (a)		313
Net assets recorded upon consolidation	$	15,033
(a) In-place and below market lease values are being amortized over a weighted-average term of 7.5 years.

Real Estate Held for Sale/Discontinued Operations/Dispositions

On December 19, 2019, the Company announced that its Board had determined to sell the Company’s entire suburban New Jersey office portfolio totaling approximately 6.6 million square feet (collectively, the “Suburban Office Portfolio”).  As the decision to sell the Suburban Office Portfolio represented a strategic shift in the Company’s operations, the portfolio’s results are being classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented herein. See Note 7: Discontinued Operations.

In late 2019 through March 31, 2020, the Company completed the sale of three of these suburban office properties, totaling 697,000 square feet, for net sales proceeds of $87.2 million.  As of March 31, 2020, the Company has identified as held for sale the remaining 34 office properties (comprised of 12 identified disposal groups) in the Suburban Office Portfolio, totaling 5.9 million square feet (of which the Company currently has 17 properties totaling 2.5 million square feet under contract for sale for aggregate gross proceeds of $335.5 million). See Note 7: Discontinued Operations.  

The Company plans to complete the sale of its remaining Suburban Office Portfolio properties in 2020 and early 2021, and to use the available sales proceeds to pay down its corporate-level, unsecured indebtedness. However, the Company cannot predict whether or to what extent the timing of these sales and the expected amount and use of proceeds may be impacted by the ongoing coronavirus (“COVID-19”). After the completion of the Suburban Office Portfolio sales, the Company’s holdings will consist of its waterfront class A office portfolio and its multi-family rental portfolio, and related development projects and land holdings.

Additionally, the Company also identified a retail pad leased to others and several developable land parcels as held for sale as of March 31, 2020. The properties are located in Parsippany, Madison, Short Hills, Edison, Red Bank and Florham Park.  As a result of recent sales contract amendments and after considering the current market conditions as a result of the challenging economic climate with the current worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, the Company determined that the carrying value of 20 of the properties (comprised of four disposal groups) and several land parcels held for sale was not expected to be recovered from estimated net sales proceeds, and accordingly, during the three months ended March 31, 2020, recognized an unrealized loss allowance of $53.0 million ($45.1 million of which are from discontinued operations), for the properties and land impairments of $5.3 million.

The following table summarizes the real estate held for sale, net, and other assets and liabilities (dollars in thousands):

Rockpoint Transaction

On February 27, 2017, the Company, Roseland Residential Trust (“RRT”), the Company’s subsidiary through which the Company conducts its multi-family residential real estate operations, Roseland Residential, L.P. (“RRLP”), the operating partnership through which RRT conducts all of its operations, and certain other affiliates of the Company entered into a preferred equity investment agreement (the “Original Investment Agreement”) with certain affiliates of Rockpoint Group, L.L.C. (Rockpoint Group, L.L.C. and its affiliates, collectively, “Rockpoint”). The Original Investment Agreement provided for RRT to contribute property to RRLP in exchange for common units of limited partnership interests in RRLP (the “Common Units”) and for multiple equity investments by Rockpoint in RRLP from time to time for up to an aggregate of $300 million of preferred units of limited partnership interests in RRLP (the “Preferred Units”). The initial closing under the Original Investment Agreement occurred on March 10, 2017 for $150 million of Preferred Units and the parties agreed that the Company’s contributed equity value (“RRT Contributed Equity Value”), was $1.23 billion at closing. During the year ended December 31, 2018, a total additional amount of $105 million of Preferred Units were issued and sold to Rockpoint pursuant to the Original Investment Agreement. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, a total additional amount of $45 million of Preferred Units were issued and sold to Rockpoint pursuant to the Original Investment Agreement, which brought the Preferred Units to the full balance of $300 million. In addition, certain contributions of property to RRLP by RRT subsequent to the

25

execution of the Original Investment Agreement resulted in RRT being issued approximately $46 million of Preferred Units and Common Units in RRLP prior to June 26, 2019.

On June 26, 2019, the Company, RRT, RRLP, certain other affiliates of the Company and Rockpoint entered into an additional preferred equity investment agreement (the “Add On Investment Agreement”). The closing under the Add On Investment Agreement occurred on June 28, 2019. Pursuant to the Add On Investment Agreement, Rockpoint invested an additional $100 million in Preferred Units and the Company and RRT agreed to contribute to RRLP two additional properties located in Jersey City, New Jersey. The Company used the $100 million in proceeds received to repay outstanding borrowings under its unsecured revolving credit facility and other debt by June 30, 2019. In addition, Rockpoint has a right of first refusal to invest another $100 million in Preferred Units in the event RRT determines that RRLP requires additional capital prior to March 1, 2023 and, subject thereto, RRLP may issue up to approximately $154 million in Preferred Units to RRT or an affiliate so long as at the time of such funding RRT determines in good faith that RRLP has a valid business purpose to use such proceeds. See Note 15: Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests for additional information about the Add On Investment Agreement and the related transactions with Rockpoint.

4.    INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURES

As of March 31, 2020, the Company had an aggregate investment of approximately $202.6 million in its equity method joint ventures. The Company formed these ventures with unaffiliated third parties, or acquired interests in them, to develop or manage primarily office and multi-family rental properties, or to acquire land in anticipation of possible development of office and multi-family rental properties. As of March 31, 2020, the unconsolidated joint ventures owned: two office properties aggregating approximately 0.2 million square feet, seven multi-family properties totaling 2,611 apartments units, a retail property aggregating approximately 51,000 square feet, a 351-room hotel, a development project for up to approximately 360 apartments units; and interests and/or rights to developable land parcels able to accommodate up to 3,220 apartments units. The Company’s unconsolidated interests range from 20 percent to 85 percent subject to specified priority allocations in certain of the joint ventures.

The amounts reflected in the following tables (except for the Company’s share of equity in earnings) are based on the historical financial information of the individual joint ventures. The Company does not record losses of the joint ventures in excess of its investment balances unless the Company is liable for the obligations of the joint venture or is otherwise committed to provide financial support to the joint venture. The outside basis portion of the Company’s investments in joint ventures is amortized over the anticipated useful lives of the underlying ventures’ tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Unless otherwise noted below, the debt of the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures generally is non-recourse to the Company, except for customary exceptions pertaining to such matters as intentional misuse of funds, environmental conditions, and material misrepresentations.

The Company has agreed to guarantee repayment of a portion of the debt of its unconsolidated joint ventures. As of March 31, 2020, such debt had a total borrowing capacity of up to $322.2 million of which the Company agreed to guarantee up to $35 million. As of March 31, 2020, the outstanding balance of such debt totaled $252 million of which $28 million was guaranteed by the Company. The Company performed management, leasing, development and other services for the properties owned by the unconsolidated joint ventures and recognized $0.6 million and $0.3 million for such services in the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company had $0.4 million and $0.6 million in accounts receivable due from its unconsolidated joint ventures as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Included in the Company’s investments in unconsolidated joint ventures as of March 31, 2020 are three unconsolidated development joint ventures, which are VIEs for which the Company is not the primary beneficiary. These joint ventures are primarily established to develop real estate property for long-term investment and were deemed VIEs primarily based on the fact that the equity investment at risk was not sufficient to permit the entities to finance their activities without additional financial support. The initial equity contributed to these entities was not sufficient to fully finance the real estate construction as development costs are funded by the partners throughout the construction period. The Company determined that it was not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs based on the fact that the Company has shared control of these entities along with the entity’s partners and therefore does not have controlling financial interests in these VIEs. The Company’s aggregate investment in these VIEs was approximately $113.8 million as of March 31, 2020. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with these VIEs is estimated to be approximately $148.8 million, which includes the Company’s current investment and estimated future funding commitments/guarantees of approximately $35.0 million. The Company has not provided financial support to these VIEs that it was not previously contractually required to provide. In general, future costs of development not financed through third parties will be funded with capital contributions from the Company and its outside partners in accordance with their respective ownership percentages.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. During the year ended December 31, 2019, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with existing variable-rate debt. As of March 31, 2020, the Company did not have any outstanding interest rate swaps that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk

During 2019, in connection with the paydown of the Company’s outstanding term loans, the Company terminated interest rate swaps with the corresponding notional amount.  These paydowns resulted in the Company accelerating the reclassification of gains from other comprehensive income to earnings as a result of the hedged forecasted transactions no longer being probable to occur, amounting to $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. No additional amounts were recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

The changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt. During the next 12 months, the Company estimates no  additional amount to be reclassified to interest expense.

The table below presents the effect of the Company’s derivative financial instruments on the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ending March 31, 2020 and 2019 (dollars in thousands):

Derivatives in Cash Flow Hedging Relationships		Amount of Gain or (Loss) Recognized in OCI on Derivative			Location of Gain or (Loss) Reclassified from Accumulated OCI into Income		Amount of Gain or (Loss) Reclassified from Accumulated OCI into Income			Location of Gain or (Loss) Recognized in Income on Derivative		Amount of Gain or (Loss) Recognized in Income on Derivative and Reclassification for Forecasted Transactions No Longer Probable of Occurring)					Total Amount of Interest Expense presented in the consolidated statements

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features

The Company had agreements with each of its derivative counterparties that contained a provision where the Company could be declared in default on its derivative obligations if repayment of the underlying indebtedness was accelerated by the lender due to the Company's default on the indebtedness. As of March 31, 2020, the Company did not have derivatives in a net liability position including accrued interest but excluding any adjustment for nonperformance risk related to these agreements. As of March 31, 2020, the Company has not posted any collateral related to these agreements.

6.    RESTRICTED CASH

Restricted cash generally includes tenant and resident security deposits for certain of the Company’s properties, and escrow and reserve funds for debt service, real estate taxes, property insurance, capital improvements, tenant improvements, and leasing costs established pursuant to certain mortgage financing arrangements, and is comprised of the following (dollars in thousands):

		March 31,		December 31,
		2020		2019
Security deposits	$	5,857	$	5,677
Escrow and other reserve funds		10,006		9,900
Total restricted cash	$	15,863	$	15,577

7.      DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On December 19, 2019, the Company announced that its Board had determined to sell the Company’s entire suburban office portfolio totaling approximately 6.6 million square feet.  As the decision to sell the Suburban Office Portfolio represented a strategic shift in the Company’s operations, the portfolio’s results are being classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented herein.

29

In late 2019 through March 31, 2020, the Company completed the sale of three of these suburban office properties, totaling 697,000 square feet, for net sales proceeds of $87.2 million.  As of March 31, 2020, the Company has identified as held for sale the remaining 34 office properties (comprised of 12 disposal groups) in the Suburban Office Portfolio, totaling 5.9 million square feet (of which the Company currently has 17 properties totaling 2.5 million square feet under contract for sale for aggregate gross proceeds of $335.5 million).

The Company plans to complete the sale of its remaining Suburban Office Portfolio properties in 2020 and early 2021, and to use the available sales proceeds to pay down its corporate-level, unsecured indebtedness. However, the Company cannot predict whether or to what extent the timing of these sales and the expected amount and use of proceeds may be impacted by the ongoing coronavirus (“COVID-19”). After the completion of the Suburban Office Portfolio sales, the Company’s holdings will consist of its waterfront class A office portfolio and its multi-family rental portfolio, and related development projects and land holdings.

As a result of recent sales contract amendments and after considering the current market conditions as a result of the challenging economic climate with the current worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, the Company determined that the carrying value of 19 of the properties (comprised of four disposal groups) was not expected to be recovered from estimated net sales proceeds, and accordingly recognized an unrealized loss allowance of $45.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

The following table summarizes income from discontinued operations and the related realized gains (losses) and unrealized losses on disposition of rental property and impairments, net, for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 (dollars in thousands):

The Company was in compliance with

30

its debt covenants under the indenture relating to its senior unsecured notes as of March 31, 2020.

9.    UNSECURED REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY AND TERM LOANS

On January 25, 2017, the Company entered into an amended revolving credit facility and new term loan agreement (“2017 Credit Agreement”) with a group of 13 lenders. Pursuant to the 2017 Credit Agreement, the Company refinanced its existing $600 million unsecured revolving credit facility (“2017 Credit Facility”) and entered into a new $325 million unsecured, delayed-draw term loan facility (“2017 Term Loan”). Effective March 6, 2018, the Company elected to determine its interest rate under the 2017 Credit Agreement and under the 2017 Term Loan using the defined leverage ratio option, resulting in an interest rate of London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 130 basis points and LIBOR plus 155 basis points, respectively.

The terms of the 2017 Credit Facility include: (1) a four year term ending in January 2021, with two six month extension options; , subject to the Company not being in default on the facility and with the payment of a fee of 7.5 basis points for each extension; (2) revolving credit loans may be made to the Company in an aggregate principal amount of up to $600 million (subject to increase as discussed below), with a sublimit under the 2017 Credit Facility for the issuance of letters of credit in an amount not to exceed $60 million (subject to increase as discussed below); (3) an interest rate, based on the Operating Partnership’s unsecured debt ratings from Moody’s or S&P, or, at the Operating Partnership’s option, if it no longer maintains a debt rating from Moody’s or S&P, or such debt ratings fall below Baa3 and BBB-, based on a defined leverage ratio; and (4) a facility fee, currently 25 basis points, payable quarterly based on the Operating Partnership’s unsecured debt ratings from Moody’s or S&P, or, at the Operating Partnership’s option, if it no longer maintains a debt rating from Moody’s or S&P or such debt ratings fall below Baa3 and BBB-, based on a defined leverage ratio.

After electing to use the defined leverage ratio to determine the interest rate, the interest rates on outstanding borrowings, alternate base rate loans and the facility fee on the current borrowing capacity, payable quarterly in arrears, on the 2017 Credit Facility are currently based on the following total leverage ratio grid:

		Interest Rate -
		Applicable
	Interest Rate -	Basis Points
	Applicable	Above LIBOR for
	Basis Points	Alternate Base	Facility Fee
Total Leverage Ratio	Above LIBOR	Rate Loans	Basis Points
<45%	125.0	25.0	20.0
≥45% and <50% (current ratio)	130.0	30.0	25.0
≥50% and <55%	135.0	35.0	30.0
≥55%	160.0	60.0	35.0

Prior to the election to use the defined leverage ratio option, the interest rates on outstanding borrowings, alternate base rate loans and the facility fee on the current borrowing capacity, payable quarterly in arrears, on the 2017 Credit Facility were based upon the Operating Partnership’s unsecured debt ratings, as follows:

		Interest Rate -
		Applicable
	Interest Rate -	Basis Points
Operating Partnership's	Applicable	Above LIBOR for
Unsecured Debt Ratings:	Basis Points	Alternate Base	Facility Fee
Higher of S&P or Moody's	Above LIBOR	Rate Loans	Basis Points
No ratings or less than BBB-/Baa3	155.0	55.0	30.0
BBB- or Baa3 (interest rate based on Company's election through March 5, 2018)	120.0	20.0	25.0
BBB or Baa2	100.0	0.0	20.0
BBB+ or Baa1	90.0	0.0	15.0
A- or A3 or higher	87.5	0.0	12.5

The terms of the 2017 Term Loan included: (1) a three year term ending in January 2020, with two one year extension options; (2) multiple draws of the term loan commitments may be made within 12 months of the effective date of the 2017 Credit Agreement up to an aggregate principal amount of $325 million (subject to increase as discussed below), with no requirement to be drawn in full; provided, that, if the Company does not borrow at least 50 percent of the initial term commitment from the term lenders (i.e. 50 percent of $325 million) on or before July 25, 2017, the amount of unused term loan commitments shall be reduced on such date so that, after giving effect to such reduction, the amount of unused term loan commitments is not greater than the outstanding term loans on such date; (3) an interest rate, based on the Operating Partnership’s unsecured debt ratings from Moody’s or S&P, or, at the Operating

31

Partnership’s option if it no longer maintains a debt rating from Moody’s or S&P or such debt ratings fall below Baa3 and BBB-, based on a defined leverage ratio; and (4) a term commitment fee on any unused term loan commitment during the first 12 months after the effective date of the 2017 Credit Agreement at a rate of 0.25 percent per annum on the sum of the average daily unused portion of the aggregate term loan commitments.

On March 22, 2017, the Company drew the full $325 million available under the 2017 Term Loan. On March 29, 2017, the Company executed interest rate swap arrangements to fix LIBOR with an aggregate average rate of 1.6473% for the swaps and a then aggregate fixed rate of 3.1973% on borrowings under the 2017 Term Loan.

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company prepaid the 2017 Term Loan (using a portion of the proceeds from a new mortgage loan collateralized by an office building located at 111 River Street and using borrowings under the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility) and recorded a net loss of $173,000 from extinguishment of debt, as a result of a gain of $80,000 due to the early termination of part of the interest rate swap arrangements, and the write off of unamortized deferred financing costs and fees amounting to $253,000 as a result of the debt prepayment.

After electing to use the defined leverage ratio to determine the interest rate, the interest rate under the 2017 Term Loan was based on the following total leverage ratio grid:

		Interest Rate -
		Applicable
	Interest Rate -	Basis Points
	Applicable	Above LIBOR for
	Basis Points	Alternate Base Rate
Total Leverage Ratio	above LIBOR	Loans
<45%	145.0	45.0
≥45% and <50% (current ratio)	155.0	55.0
≥50% and <55%	165.0	65.0
≥55%	195.0	95.0

Prior to the election to use the defined leverage ratio option, the interest rate on the 2017 Term Loan was based upon the Operating Partnership's unsecured debt ratings, as follows:

		Interest Rate -
		Applicable
	Interest Rate -	Basis Points
Operating Partnership's	Applicable	Above LIBOR for
Unsecured Debt Ratings:	Basis Points	Alternate Base Rate
Higher of S&P or Moody's	Above LIBOR	Loans
No ratings or less than BBB-/Baa3	185.0	85.0
BBB- or Baa3 (interest rate based on Company's election through March 5, 2018)	140.0	40.0
BBB or Baa2	115.0	15.0
BBB+ or Baa1	100.0	0.0
A- or A3 or higher	90.0	0.0

On up to four occasions at any time after the effective date of the 2017 Credit Agreement, the Company may elect to request (1) an increase to the existing revolving credit commitments (any such increase, the “New Revolving Credit Commitments”) and/or (2) the establishment of one or more new term loan commitments (the “New Term Commitments”, together with the 2017 Credit Commitments, the “Incremental Commitments”), by up to an aggregate amount not to exceed $350 million for all Incremental Commitments. The Company may also request that the sublimit for letters of credit available under the 2017 Credit Facility be increased to $100 million (without arranging any New Revolving Credit Commitments). No lender or letter of credit issued has any obligation to accept any Incremental Commitment or any increase to the letter of credit subfacility. There is no premium or penalty associated with full or partial prepayment of borrowings under the 2017 Credit Agreement.

The 2017 Credit Agreement, which applies to both the 2017 Credit Facility and 2017 Term Loan, includes certain restrictions and covenants which limit, among other things the incurrence of additional indebtedness, the incurrence of liens and the disposition of real estate properties (to the extent that: (i) such property dispositions cause the Company to default on any of the financial ratios of the 2017 Credit Agreement (described below), or (ii) the property dispositions are completed while the Company is under an event of default under the 2017 Credit Agreement, unless, under certain circumstances, such disposition is being carried out to cure such default), and which require compliance with financial ratios relating to the maximum leverage ratio (60 percent), the maximum amount of secured indebtedness (40 percent), the minimum amount of fixed charge coverage (1.5 times), the maximum amount of unsecured indebtedness

32

(60 percent), the minimum amount of unencumbered property interest coverage (2.0 times) and certain investment limitations (generally 15 percent of total capitalization).  The 2017 Credit Agreement contains “change of control” provisions that permit the lenders to declare a default and require the immediate repayment of all outstanding borrowings under the 2017 Credit Facility. These change of control provisions, which have been an event of default under the agreements governing the Company’s revolving credit facilities since June 2000, are triggered if, among other things, a majority of the seats on the Board of Directors (other than vacant seats) become occupied by directors who were neither nominated by the Board Directors nor appointed by a majority of directors nominated by the Board of Directors. Furthermore, the agreements governing the Company's Senior Unsecured Notes include cross-acceleration provisions that would constitute an event of default requiring immediate repayment of the Notes if the change of control provisions under the 2017 Credit Facility are triggered and the lenders declare a default and exercise their rights under the 2017 Credit Facility and accelerate repayment of the outstanding borrowings thereunder. In addition, construction loans secured by two multi-family residential property development projects contain cross-acceleration provisions similar to those in the agreements governing the Notes for defaults by the Company.  If these change of control provisions were triggered, the Company could seek a forbearance, waiver or amendment of the change of control provisions from the lenders, however there can be no assurance that the Company would be able to obtain such forbearance, waiver or amendment on acceptable terms or at all. If an event of default has occurred and is continuing, the entire outstanding balance under the 2017 Credit Agreement may (or, in the case of any bankruptcy event of default, shall) become immediately due and payable, and the Company will not make any excess distributions except to enable the General Partner to continue to qualify as a REIT under the IRS Code.

Before it amended and restated its unsecured revolving credit facility in January 2017, the Company had a $600 million unsecured revolving credit facility with a group of 17 lenders that was scheduled to mature in July 2017. The interest rate on outstanding borrowings (not electing the Company’s competitive bid feature) and the facility fee on the current borrowing capacity payable quarterly in arrears was based upon the Operating Partnership’s unsecured debt ratings at the time, as follows:

Operating Partnership's	Interest Rate -
Unsecured Debt Ratings:	Applicable Basis Points	Facility Fee
Higher of S&P or Moody's	Above LIBOR	Basis Points
No ratings or less than BBB-/Baa3	170.0	35.0
BBB- or Baa3 (since January 2017 amendment)	130.0	30.0
BBB or Baa2	110.0	20.0
BBB+ or Baa1	100.0	15.0
A- or A3 or higher	92.5	12.5

In January 2016, the Company obtained a $350 million unsecured term loan (“2016 Term Loan”), which had been scheduled to mature in January 2019 with two one year extension options. On January 7, 2019, the Company exercised the first one-year extension option with the payment of an extension fee of $0.5 million, which extended the maturity of the 2016 Term Loan to January 2020. The interest rate for the term loan is based on the Operating Partnership’s unsecured debt ratings, or, at the Company's option, a defined leverage ratio. Effective March 6, 2018, the Company elected to determine its interest rate under the 2016 Term Loan using the defined leverage ratio option, resulting in an interest rate of LIBOR plus 155 basis points. The Company entered into interest rate swap arrangements to fix LIBOR for the duration of the term loan. Including costs, the current all-in fixed rate is 3.28 percent. The proceeds from the loan were used primarily to repay outstanding borrowings on the Company’s then existing unsecured revolving credit facility and to repay $200 million senior unsecured notes that matured on January 15, 2016.  

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company prepaid the 2016 Term Loan (using a portion of the cash sales proceeds from the Flex portfolio sale, using the proceeds from a mortgage loan financing obtained on Soho Lofts Apartments and using a portion of the proceeds from a new mortgage loan collateralized by an office building located at 111 River Street), and recorded a gain of $2.1 million due to the early termination of part of the interest rate swap arrangements, as a result of the debt prepayment during the year ended December 31, 2019. Unamortized deferred financing costs and fees amounting to $242,000 pertaining to the 2016 Term Loan were written off during the year ended December 31, 2019.

In summary, the Company recorded a net gain on extinguishment of debt of $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, as described above.

After electing to use the defined leverage ratio to determine interest rate, the interest rate under the 2016 Term Loan was based on the following total leverage ratio grid:

	Interest Rate -
	Applicable Basis
Total Leverage Ratio	Points above LIBOR
<45%	145.0
≥45% and <50% (current ratio)	155.0
≥50% and <55%	165.0
≥55%	195.0

Prior to the election to use the defined interest leverage ratio option, the interest rate on the 2016 Term Loan was based upon the Operating Partnership’s unsecured debt ratings, as follows:

Operating Partnership's	Interest Rate -
Unsecured Debt Ratings:	Applicable Basis Points
Higher of S&P or Moody's	Above LIBOR
No ratings or less than BBB-/Baa3	185.0
BBB- or Baa3 (interest rate based on Company's election through March 5, 2018)	140.0
BBB or Baa2	115.0
BBB+ or Baa1	100.0
A- or A3 or higher	90.0

The terms of the 2016 Term Loan include certain restrictions and covenants which limit, among other things the incurrence of additional indebtedness, the incurrence of liens and the disposition of real estate properties (to the extent that: (i) such property dispositions cause the Company to default on any of the financial ratios of the term loan described below, or (ii) the property dispositions are completed while the Company is under an event of default under the term loan, unless, under certain circumstances, such disposition is being carried out to cure such default), and which require compliance with financial ratios relating to the maximum leverage ratio (60 percent), the maximum amount of secured indebtedness (40 percent), the minimum amount of fixed charge coverage (1.5 times), the maximum amount of unsecured indebtedness (60 percent), the minimum amount of unencumbered property interest coverage (2.0 times) and certain investment limitations (generally 15 percent of total capitalization). If an event of default has occurred and is continuing, the Company will not make any excess distributions except to enable the General Partner to continue to qualify as a REIT under the IRS Code.

On August 30, 2018, the Company entered into an amendment to the 2017 Credit Agreement (the “2017 Credit Agreement Amendment”) and an amendment to the 2016 Term Loan (the “2016 Term Loan Amendment”).

Each of the 2017 Credit Agreement Amendment and the 2016 Term Loan Amendment was effective as of June 30, 2018 and provided for the following material amendments to the terms of both the 2017 Credit Agreement and 2016 Term Loan:

1.The unsecured debt ratio covenant has been modified with respect to the measurement of the unencumbered collateral pool of assets in the calculation of such ratio for the period commencing July 1, 2018 and continuing until December 31, 2019 to allow the Operating Partnership to utilize the “as-is” appraised value of the properties known as ‘Harborside Plaza I’ and ‘Harborside Plaza V’ properties located in Jersey City, NJ in such calculation; and

2.A new covenant has been added that prohibits the Company from making any optional or voluntary payment, repayment, repurchase or redemption of any unsecured indebtedness of the Company (or any subsidiaries) that matures after January 25, 2022, at any time when any of the Total Leverage Ratio or the unsecured debt ratio covenants exceeds 60 percent (all as defined in the 2017 Credit Agreement and the 2016 Term Loan) or an appraisal is being used to determine the value of Harborside Plaza I and Harborside Plaza V for the unsecured debt ratio covenant.

All other terms and conditions of the 2017 Credit Agreement and the 2016 Term Loan remain unchanged.

The Company was in compliance with its debt covenants under its unsecured revolving credit facility as of March 31, 2020.

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company’s borrowings under its unsecured credit facility totaled $277 million and $329 million, respectively.

10.    MORTGAGES, LOANS PAYABLE AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS

The Company has mortgages, loans payable and other obligations which primarily consist of various loans collateralized by certain of the Company’s rental properties, land and development projects. As of March 31, 2020, 19 of the Company’s properties, with a total carrying value of approximately $2.9 billion and four of the Company’s land and development projects, with a total carrying value of approximately $470 million, are encumbered by the Company’s mortgages and loans payable. Payments on mortgages, loans payable and other obligations are generally due in monthly installments of principal and interest, or interest only. The Company was in compliance with its debt covenants under its mortgages and loans payable as of March 31, 2020.

A summary of the Company’s mortgages, loans payable and other obligations as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 is as follows (dollars in thousands):

11.    EMPLOYEE BENEFIT 401(k) PLANS

Employees of the General Partner, who meet certain minimum age and service requirements, are eligible to participate in the Mack-Cali Realty Corporation 401(k) Savings/Retirement Plan (the “401(k) Plan”). Eligible employees may elect to defer from one percent up to 60 percent of their annual compensation on a pre-tax basis to the 401(k) Plan, subject to certain limitations imposed by federal law. The amounts contributed by employees are immediately vested and non-forfeitable. The Company may make discretionary matching or profit sharing contributions to the 401(k) Plan on behalf of eligible participants in any plan year. Participants are always 100 percent vested in their pre-tax contributions and will begin vesting in any matching or profit sharing contributions made on their behalf after two years of service with the Company at a rate of 20 percent per year, becoming 100 percent vested after a total of six years of service with the Company. All contributions are allocated as a percentage of compensation of the eligible participants for the Plan year. The assets of the 401(k) Plan are held in trust and a separate account is established for each participant. A participant may receive a distribution of his or her vested account balance in the 401(k) Plan in a single sum or in installment payments upon his or her termination of service with the Company. Total expense recognized by the Company for the 401(k) Plan for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was $256,000 and $319,000, respectively.

12.    DISCLOSURE OF FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

The following disclosure of estimated fair value was determined by management using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize on disposition of the assets and liabilities at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

Cash equivalents, receivables, notes receivables, accounts payable, and accrued expenses and other liabilities are carried at amounts which reasonably approximate their fair values as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt, consisting of senior unsecured notes, unsecured term loans, an unsecured revolving credit facility and mortgages, loans payable and other obligations aggregated approximately $2,919,633,000 and $2,791,629,000 as compared to the book value of approximately $2,877,121,000 and $2,808,517,000 as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was categorized as a level 3 basis (as provided by ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures). The fair value was estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis valuation based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms and maturities. The fair value of the mortgage debt and the unsecured notes was determined by discounting the future contractual interest and principal payments by a market rate. Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivative financial instruments fall within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivative financial instruments utilize level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. The Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivative financial instruments. As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative financial instruments valuations in their entirety are classified in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value measurements used in the evaluation of the Company’s rental properties are considered to be Level 3 valuations within the fair value hierarchy, as there are significant unobservable inputs. Examples of inputs that were utilized in the fair value calculations include, but are not limited to estimated holding periods, discount rates, market capitalization rates, expected lease rental rates, third party broker information and information from potential buyers, as applicable.

Valuations of real estate identified as held for sale are based on estimated sale prices, net of estimated selling costs, of such property. In the absence of an executed sales agreement with a set sales price, management’s estimate of the net sales price may be based on a number of unobservable assumptions/inputs, including but not limited to the Company’s estimates of future and stabilized cash flows,

36

market capitalization rates and discount rates, if applicable. For developable land, an estimated per-unit market value assumption is also considered based on development rights for the land.

As of March 31, 2020, inputs and assumptions included

	Primary Valuation	Unobservable	Location	Range of
Description	Techniques	Inputs	Type	Rates
Office properties held for sale on which the Company recognized impairment losses	Discounted cash flows	Discount rates	Suburban	7.5% - 9.6%

		Market rates per square foot	Suburban	$15.00 - $25.00

The Company identified as held for sale 34 office properties (comprised of 12 disposal groups), a retail pad leased to others and several developable land parcels as held for sale as of March 31, 2020 with an aggregate carrying value of $898 million. As a result of recent sales contract amendments and after considering the current market conditions as a result of the challenging economic climate with the current worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, the Company determined that the carrying value of 20 of the properties (comprised of four disposal groups) and several land parcels was not expected to be recovered from estimated net sales proceeds and accordingly recognized an unrealized loss allowance of $53.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and land impairments of $5.3 million.

Disclosure about fair value of assets and liabilities is based on pertinent information available to management as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since March 31, 2020 and current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.

The recent outbreak of COVID-19 worldwide has significantly slowed global economic activity and caused significant volatility in financial markets.  As such, there is currently significant uncertainty around the breadth and duration of business disruptions related to COVID-19, as well as its impact on the U.S. economy.  The current economic environment can and will be significantly adversely affected by many factors beyond the Company’s control. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts the Company’s fair value estimates in the future will depend on developments going forward, many of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.   In consideration of the magnitude of such uncertainties under the current climate, Management has considered all available information at its properties and in the marketplace to provide its estimates as of March 31, 2020.

Ground lease expense incurred by the Company amounted to $683,000 and $630,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

In conjunction with the adoption of ASU 2016-02 (Topic 842), starting on January 1, 2019, the Company capitalized operating leases, which had a balance of $23.8 million at March 31, 2020 for five ground leases. Such amount represents the net present value (“NPV”) of future payments detailed above. The incremental borrowing rates used to arrive at the NPV ranged from 5.637 percent to 7.618 percent for the remaining ground lease terms ranging from 6.25 years to 82.58 years. These rates were arrived at by adjusting the fixed rates of the Company’s mortgage debt with debt having terms approximating the remaining lease term of the Company’s ground leases and calculating notional rates for fully-collateralized loans.

CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS

The Company is developing a 313-unit multi-family project known as Port Imperial South 9 at Port Imperial in Weehawken, New Jersey, which began construction in third quarter 2018. The construction project, which is estimated to cost $142.9 million, of which construction costs of $77.7 million have been incurred through March 31, 2020, is expected to be ready for occupancy in first quarter 2021. The Company has funded $50.9 million as of March 31, 2020, and the remaining construction costs are expected to be funded from a $92 million construction loan.

The Company is developing a 198-unit multi-family project known as the Upton at Short Hills located in Short Hills, New Jersey, which began construction in fourth quarter 2018. The construction project, which is estimated to cost $99.4 million, of which $55.9 million have been incurred through March 31, 2020, is expected to be ready for occupancy in fourth quarter 2020. The Company has funded $35.4 million of the construction costs, and the remaining construction costs are expected to be funded from a $64 million construction loan.

The Company is developing a 750-unit multi-family project at 25 Christopher Columbus in Jersey City, New Jersey, which began construction in first quarter 2019.

The Company is expected to fund $169.5 million of the construction costs, of which the Company has funded $138.5 million as of March 31, 2020, and the remaining construction costs are expected to be funded from a $300 million construction loan (of which $38.4 million was drawn as of March 31, 2020).

OTHER

Through February 2016, the Company could not dispose of or distribute certain of its properties, which were originally contributed by certain unrelated common unitholders of the Operating Partnership, without the express written consent of such common unitholders, as applicable, except in a manner which did not result in recognition of any built-in-gain (which may result in an income tax liability) or which reimbursed the appropriate specific common unitholders for the tax consequences of the recognition of such built-in-gains (collectively, the “Property Lock-Ups”). Upon the expiration in February 2016 of the Property Lock-Ups, the Company is generally required to use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent any sale, transfer or other disposition of the subject properties from resulting in the recognition of built-in gain to the specific common unitholders, which include members of the Mack Group (which includes William L. Mack, Chairman of the General Partner’s Board of Directors; David S. Mack, a former director; and Earle I. Mack, a former director), the Robert Martin Group, and the Cali Group (which includes John R. Cali, a former director). As of March 31, 2020, after the effects of tax-free exchanges on certain of the originally contributed properties, either wholly or partially, over time, 27 of the Company’s properties, as well as certain land and development projects, including properties classified as held for sale as of March 31, 2020, with an aggregate carrying value of approximately $1.8 billion, are subject to these conditions.

14.    TENANT LEASES

The Properties are leased to tenants under operating leases with various expiration dates through 2036. Substantially all of the commercial leases provide for annual base rents plus recoveries and escalation charges based upon the tenant’s proportionate share of and/or increases in real estate taxes and certain operating costs, as defined, and the pass-through of charges for electrical usage.

Future minimum rentals to be received under non-cancelable commercial operating leases (excluding properties classified as discontinued operations) at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are as follows (dollars in thousands):

		As of March 31, 2020

15.    REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS

The Company evaluates the terms of the partnership units issued in accordance with the FASB’s Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity guidance. Units which embody an unconditional obligation requiring the Company to redeem the units for cash after a specified or determinable date (or dates) or upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within the control of the issuer are determined to be contingently redeemable under this guidance and are included as Redeemable noncontrolling interests and classified within the mezzanine section between Total liabilities and Stockholders’ equity on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Convertible units for which the Company has the option to settle redemption amounts in cash or Common Stock are included in the caption Noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries within the equity section on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Rockpoint Transaction

On February 27, 2017, the Company, Roseland Residential Trust (“RRT”), the Company’s subsidiary through which the Company conducts its multi-family residential real estate operations, Roseland Residential, L.P. (“RRLP”), the operating partnership through which RRT conducts all of its operations, and certain other affiliates of the Company entered into a preferred equity investment agreement (the “Original Investment Agreement”) with certain affiliates of Rockpoint Group, L.L.C. (Rockpoint Group, L.L.C. and its affiliates, collectively, “Rockpoint”). The Original Investment Agreement provided for RRT to contribute property to RRLP in exchange for common units of limited partnership interests in RRLP (the “Common Units”) and for multiple equity investments by Rockpoint in RRLP from time to time for up to an aggregate of $300 million of preferred units of limited partnership interests in RRLP (the “Preferred Units”). The initial closing under the Original Investment Agreement occurred on March 10, 2017 for $150 million of Preferred Units and the parties agreed that the Company’s contributed equity value (“RRT Contributed Equity Value”), was $1.23 billion at closing. During the year ended December 31, 2018, a total additional amount of $105 million of Preferred Units were issued and sold to Rockpoint pursuant to the Original Investment Agreement. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, a total additional amount of $45 million of Preferred Units were issued and sold to Rockpoint pursuant to the Original Investment Agreement, which brought the Preferred Units to the full balance of $300 million. In addition, certain contributions of property to RRLP by RRT subsequent to the

40

execution of the Original Investment Agreement resulted in RRT being issued approximately $46 million of Preferred Units and Common Units in RRLP prior to June 26, 2019.

On June 26, 2019, the Company, RRT, RRLP, certain other affiliates of the Company and Rockpoint entered into an additional preferred equity investment agreement (the “Add On Investment Agreement”). The closing under the Add On Investment Agreement occurred on June 28, 2019. Pursuant to the Add On Investment Agreement, Rockpoint invested an additional $100 million in Preferred Units and the Company and RRT agreed to contribute to RRLP two additional properties located in Jersey City, New Jersey. In addition, Rockpoint has a right of first refusal to invest another $100 million in Preferred Units in the event RRT determines that RRLP requires additional capital prior to March 1, 2023 and, subject thereto, RRLP may issue up to approximately $154 million in Preferred Units to RRT or an affiliate so long as at the time of such funding RRT determines in good faith that RRLP has a valid business purpose to use such proceeds. Included in general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2019 were $371,000 in fees associated with the modifications of the Original Investment Agreement, which were made upon signing of the Add On Investment Agreement.

Under the terms of the new transaction with Rockpoint, the cash flow from operations of RRLP will be distributable to Rockpoint and RRT as follows:

first, to provide a 6% annual return to Rockpoint and RRT on their capital invested in Preferred Units (the “Preferred Base Return”);

second, 95.36% to RRT and 4.64% to Rockpoint until RRT has received a 6% annual return (the “RRT Base Return”) on the equity value of the properties contributed by it to RRLP in exchange for Common Units (previously 95% and 5%, respectively, under the Original Investment Agreement), subject to adjustment in the event RRT contributes additional property to RRLP in the future; and

third, pro rata to Rockpoint and RRT based on total respective capital invested in and contributed equity value of Preferred Units and Common Units (based on Rockpoint’s $400 million of invested capital at March 31, 2020, this pro rata distribution would be approximately 21.89% to Rockpoint in respect of Preferred Units, 2.65% to RRT in respect of Preferred Units and 75.46% to RRT in respect of Common Units).

RRLP’s cash flow from capital events will generally be distributable by RRLP to Rockpoint and RRT as follows:

first, to Rockpoint and RRT to the extent there is any unpaid, accrued Preferred Base Return;

second, as a return of capital to Rockpoint and to RRT in respect of Preferred Units;

third, 95.36% to RRT and 4.64% to Rockpoint until RRT has received the RRT Base Return in respect of Common Units (previously 95% and 5%, respectively, under the Original Investment Agreement), subject to adjustment in the event RRT contributes additional property to RRLP in the future;

fourth, 95.36% to RRT and 4.64% to Rockpoint until RRT has received a return of capital based on the equity value of the properties contributed by it to RRLP in exchange for Common Units (previously 95% and 5%, respectively, under the Original Investment Agreement), subject to adjustment in the event RRT contributes additional property to the capital of RRLP in the future;

fifth, pro rata to Rockpoint and RRT based on respective total capital invested in and contributed equity value of Preferred and Common Units until Rockpoint has received an 11% internal rate of return (based on Rockpoint’s $400 million of invested capital at March 31, 2020, this pro rata distribution would be approximately 21.89% to Rockpoint in respect of Preferred Units, 2.65% to RRT in respect of Preferred Units and 75.46% to RRT in respect of Common Units); and

sixth, to Rockpoint and RRT in respect of their Preferred Units based on 50% of their pro rata shares described in “fifth” above and the balance to RRT in respect of its Common Units (based on Rockpoint’s $400 million of invested capital at March 31, 2020, this pro rata distribution would be approximately 10.947% to Rockpoint in respect of Preferred Units, 1.325% to RRT in respect of Preferred Units and 87.728% to RRT in respect of Common Units).

In general, RRLP may not sell its properties in taxable transactions, although it may engage in tax-deferred like-kind exchanges of properties or it may proceed in another manner designed to avoid the recognition of gain for tax purposes.

In connection with the Add On Investment Agreement, on June 26, 2019, RRT increased the size of its board of trustees from six to seven persons, with five trustees being designated by the Company and two trustees being designated by Rockpoint.

In addition, as was the case under the Original Investment Agreement, RRT and RRLP are required to obtain Rockpoint’s consent with respect to:

debt financings in excess of a 65% loan-to-value ratio;

corporate level financings that are pari-passu or senior to the Preferred Units;

new investment opportunities to the extent the opportunity requires an equity capitalization in excess of 10% of RRLP’s NAV;

41

new investment opportunities located in a Metropolitan Statistical Area where RRLP owns no property as of the previous quarter;

declaration of bankruptcy of RRT;

transactions between RRT and the Company, subject to certain limited exceptions;

any equity granted or equity incentive plan adopted by RRLP or any of its subsidiaries; and

certain matters relating to the Credit Enhancement Note (as defined below) between the Company and RRLP (other than ordinary course borrowings or repayments thereunder).

Under a Discretionary Demand Promissory Note (the “Credit Enhancement Note”), the Company may provide periodic cash advances to RRLP. The Credit Enhancement Note provides for an interest rate equal to the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate plus fifty (50) basis points above the applicable interest rate under the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility. The maximum aggregate principal amount of advances at any one time outstanding under the Credit Enhancement Note is limited to $50 million, an increase of $25 million from the prior transaction.

RRT and RRLP also have agreed, as was the case under the Original Investment Agreement, to register the Preferred Units under certain circumstances in the future in the event RRT or RRLP becomes a publicly traded company.

During the period commencing on June 28, 2019 and ending on March 1, 2023 (the “Lockout Period”), Rockpoint’s interest in the Preferred Units cannot be redeemed or repurchased, except in connection with (a) a sale of all or substantially all of RRLP or a sale of a majority of the then-outstanding interests in RRLP, in each case, which sale is not approved by Rockpoint, or (b) a spin-out or initial public offering of common stock of RRT, or distributions of RRT equity interests by the Company or its affiliates to shareholders or their respective parent interestholders (an acquisition pursuant clauses (a) or (b) above, an “Early Purchase”). RRT has the right to acquire Rockpoint’s interest in the Preferred Units in connection with an Early Purchase for a purchase price generally equal to (i) the amount that Rockpoint would receive upon the sale of the assets of RRLP for fair market value and a distribution of the net sale proceeds in accordance with (A) the capital event distribution priorities discussed above (in the case of certain Rockpoint Preferred Holders) and (B) the distribution priorities applicable in the case of a liquidation of RRLP (in the case of the other Rockpoint Preferred Holder), plus (ii) a make whole premium (such purchase price, the “Purchase Payment”). The make whole premium is an amount equal to (i) $173.5 million until December 28, 2020, or $198.5 million thereafter, less distributions theretofore made to Rockpoint with respect to its Preferred Base Return or any deficiency therein, plus (ii) $1.5 million less certain other distributions theretofore made to Rockpoint.

The fair market value of RRLP’s assets is determined by a third party appraisal of the net asset value (“NAV”) of RRLP and the fair market value of RRLP’s assets, to be completed within ninety (90) calendar days of March 1, 2023 and annually thereafter.

After the Lockout Period, either RRT may acquire from Rockpoint, or Rockpoint may sell to RRT, all, but not less than all, of Rockpoint’s interest in the Preferred Units (each, a “Put/Call Event”) for a purchase price equal to the Purchase Payment (determined without regard to the make whole premium and any related tax allocations). An acquisition of Rockpoint’s interest in the Preferred Units pursuant to a Put/Call Event is generally required to be structured as a purchase of the common equity in the applicable Rockpoint entities holding direct or indirect interests in the Preferred Units. Subject to certain exceptions, Rockpoint also has a right of first offer and a participation right with respect to other common equity interests of RRLP or any subsidiary of RRLP that may be offered for sale by RRLP or its subsidiaries from time to time. Upon a Put/Call Event, other than in the event of a sale of RRLP, Rockpoint may elect to convert all, but not less than all, of its Preferred Units to Common Units in RRLP.

As such, the Preferred Units contain a substantive redemption feature that is outside of the Company’s control and accordingly, pursuant to ASC 480-1—S99-3A, the Preferred Units are classified in mezzanine equity measured based on the estimated future redemption value as of March 31, 2020. The Company determines the redemption value of these interests by hypothetically liquidating the estimated NAV of the RRT real estate portfolio including debt principal through the applicable waterfall provisions of the new transaction with Rockpoint. The estimation of NAV includes unobservable inputs that consider assumptions of market participants in pricing the underlying assets of RRLP. For properties under development, the Company applies a discount rate to the estimated future cash flows allocable to the Company during the period under construction and then applies a direct capitalization method to the estimated stabilized cash flows. For operating properties, the direct capitalization method is used by applying a capitalization rate to the projected net operating income. For developable land holdings, an estimated per-unit market value assumption is considered based on development rights for the land. Estimated future cash flows used in such analyses are based on the Company’s business plan for each respective property including capital expenditures, management’s views of market and economic conditions, and considers items such as current and future rental rates, occupancies and market transactions for comparable properties. The estimated future redemption value of the Preferred Units is approximately $488 million as of March 31, 2020.

Preferred Units

On February 3, 2017, the Operating Partnership issued 42,800 shares of a new class of 3.5 percent Series A Preferred Limited Partnership Units of the Operating Partnership (the “Series A Units”). The Series A Units were issued to the Company’s partners in the Plaza VIII & IX Associates L.L.C. joint venture that owns a development site adjacent to the Company’s Harborside property in Jersey City, New Jersey as non-cash consideration for their approximate 37.5 percent interest in the joint venture.

Each Series A Unit has a stated value of $1,000, pays dividends quarterly at an annual rate of 3.5 percent (subject to increase under certain circumstances), is convertible into 28.15 common units of limited partnership interests of the Operating Partnership beginning generally five years from the date of issuance, or an aggregate of up to 1,204,820 common units. The conversion rate was based on a value of $35.52 per common unit. The Series A Units have a liquidation and dividend preference senior to the common units and include customary anti-dilution protections for stock splits and similar events. The Series A Units are redeemable for cash at their stated value beginning five years from the date of issuance at the option of the holder.

On February 28, 2017, the Operating Partnership authorized the issuance of 9,213 shares of a new class of 3.5 percent Series A-1 Preferred Limited Partnership Units of the Operating Partnership (the “Series A-1 Units”). 9,122 Series A-1 Units were issued on February 28, 2017 and an additional 91 Series A-1 Units were issued in April 2017 pursuant to acquiring additional interests in a joint venture that owns Monaco Towers in Jersey City, New Jersey. The Series A-1 Units were issued as non-cash consideration for the partner’s approximate 13.8 percent ownership interest in the joint venture.

Each Series A-1 Unit has a stated value of $1,000 (the “Stated Value”), pays dividends quarterly at an annual rate equal to the greater of (x) 3.5 percent, or (y) the then-effective annual dividend yield on the General Partner’s common stock, and is convertible into 27.936 common units of limited partnership interests of the Operating Partnership beginning generally five years from the date of issuance, or an aggregate of up to 257,375 Common Units. The conversion rate was based on a value of $35.80 per common unit. The Series A-1 Units have a liquidation and dividend preference senior to the Common Units and include customary anti-dilution protections for stock splits and similar events.  The Series A-1 Units are redeemable for cash at their stated value beginning five years from the date of issuance at the option of the holder. The Series A-1 Units are pari passu with the 42,800 3.5% Series A Units issued on February 3, 2017.

16.     MACK-CALI REALTY CORPORATION STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND MACK-CALI REALTY, L.P.’S PARTNERS’ CAPITAL

To maintain its qualification as a REIT, not more than 50 percent in value of the outstanding shares of the General Partner may be owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals at any time during the last half of any taxable year of the General Partner, other than its initial taxable year (defined to include certain entities), applying certain constructive ownership rules. To help ensure that the General Partner will not fail this test, the General Partner’s Charter provides, among other things, certain restrictions on the transfer of common stock to prevent further concentration of stock ownership. Moreover, to evidence compliance with these requirements, the General Partner must maintain records that disclose the actual ownership of its outstanding common stock and demands written statements each year from the holders of record of designated percentages of its common stock requesting the disclosure of the beneficial owners of such common stock.

Partners’ Capital in the accompanying consolidated financial statements relates to (a) General Partners’ capital consisting of common units in the Operating Partnership held by the General Partner, and (b) Limited Partners’ capital consisting of common units and LTIP units held by the limited partners. See Note 17: Noncontrolling Interests in Subsidiaries.

The following table reflects the activity of the General Partner capital for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively (dollars in thousands):

Any transactions resulting in the issuance of additional common and preferred stock of the General Partner result in a corresponding issuance by the Operating Partnership of an equivalent amount of common and preferred units to the General Partner.

SHARE/UNIT REPURCHASE PROGRAM

In September 2012, the Board of Directors of the General Partner renewed and authorized an increase to the General Partner’s repurchase program (“Repurchase Program”). The General Partner has authorization to repurchase up to $150 million of its outstanding common stock under the renewed Repurchase Program, which it may repurchase from time to time in open market transactions at prevailing prices or through privately negotiated transactions. As of March 31, 2020, the General Partner has repurchased and retired 394,625 shares of its outstanding common stock for an aggregate cost of approximately $11 million (all of which occurred in the year ended December 31, 2012), with a remaining authorization under the Repurchase Program of $139 million. Concurrent with these repurchases, the General Partner sold to the Operating Partnership common units for approximately $11 million.

DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT AND STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

The General Partner has a Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan (the “DRIP”) which commenced in March 1999 under which approximately 5.5 million shares of the General Partner’s common stock have been reserved for future issuance. The DRIP provides for automatic reinvestment of all or a portion of a participant’s dividends from the General Partner’s shares of common stock. The DRIP also permits participants to make optional cash investments up to $5,000 a month without restriction and, if the Company waives

44

this limit, for additional amounts subject to certain restrictions and other conditions set forth in the DRIP prospectus filed as part of the Company’s effective registration statement on Form S-3 filed with the SEC for the approximately 5.5 million shares of the General Partner’s common stock reserved for issuance under the DRIP.

STOCK OPTION PLANS

In May 2013, the General Partner established the 2013 Incentive Stock Plan (the “2013 Plan”) under which a total of 4,600,000 shares have been reserved for issuance.

On June 5, 2015, in connection with employment agreements entered into with each of Messrs. Rudin and DeMarco (together, the “Executive Employment Agreements”), the Company granted options to purchase a total of 800,000 shares of the General Partner’s common stock, exercisable for a period of ten years with an exercise price equal to the closing price of the General Partner’s common stock on the grant date of $17.31 per share, with 400,000 of such options vesting in three equal annual installments commencing on the first anniversary of the grant date (“Time Vesting Options”) and fully vesting on June 5, 2018, and 400,000 of such options vesting if the General Partner’s common stock traded at or above $25.00 per share for 30 consecutive trading days while the executive is employed (“Price Vesting Options”), or on or before June 30, 2019, subject to certain conditions. The Price Vesting Options vested on July 5, 2016 on account of the price vesting condition being achieved.

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the stock options outstanding had a weighted average remaining contractual life of approximately 5.2 and 5.4 years, respectively.

The Company recognized stock options expense of zero for each of the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

AO LTIP UNITS (Appreciation-Only LTIP Units)

Pursuant to the terms of the DeMarco employment agreement, the Company entered into an AO Long-Term Incentive Plan Award Agreement (the “AO LTIP Award Agreement”) with Mr. DeMarco on March 13, 2019 that provided for the grant to Mr. DeMarco of 625,000 AO LTIP Units. AO LTIP Units are a class of partnership interests in the Operating Partnership that are intended to qualify as “profits interests” for federal income tax purposes and generally only allow the recipient to realize value to the extent the fair market value of a share of Common Stock exceeds the threshold level set at the time the AO LTIP Units are granted, subject to any vesting conditions applicable to the award. The threshold level was fixed at $21.46 in the AO LTIP Award Agreement, the closing price of the Common Stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) on the date of grant. The value of vested AO LTIP Units is realized through conversion of the AO LTIP Units into common units of limited partnership interests of the Operating Partnership (the “Common Units”). The number of Common Units into which vested AO LTIP Units may be converted is determined based on the

45

quotient of (i) the excess of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the conversion date over the threshold level designated at the time the AO LTIP Unit was granted (i.e., $21.46), divided by (ii) the fair market value of the Common Stock on the conversion date. AO LTIP Units, once vested, have a finite term during which they may be converted into Common Units, within ten years from the grant date of the AO LTIP Units or they are forfeited. In addition, the AO LTIP Units issued to Mr. DeMarco are subject to the following vesting conditions:

(i) 250,000 of the AO LTIP Units shall vest and become exercisable on the earliest date on which the closing price of the Common Stock, as reported on the NYSE, or if the Common Stock is not then traded on the NYSE, then the closing price of the Common Stock on any other securities exchange on which the Common Stock is traded or quoted (the “Securities Market”), has been equal to or greater than $25.00 per share for at least 30 consecutive trading days, provided that such date occurs prior to March 13, 2023 (the “Outside Date”);

(ii) an additional 250,000 of the AO LTIP Units shall vest and become exercisable on the earliest date on which the closing price of the Common Stock, as reported on the NYSE, or if the Common Stock is not then traded on the NYSE, then the closing price of the Common Stock on the Securities Market, has been equal to or greater than $28.00 per share for at least 30 consecutive trading days, provided that such date occurs prior to the Outside Date; and

(iii) an additional 125,000 of the AO LTIP Units shall vest and become exercisable on the earliest date on which the closing price of the Common Stock, as reported on the NYSE, or if the Common Stock is not then traded on the NYSE, then the closing price of the Common Stock on the Securities Market, has been equal to or greater than $31.00 per share for at least 30 consecutive trading days, provided that such date occurs prior to the Outside Date.

Mr. DeMarco will generally receive special income allocations in respect of an AO LTIP Unit equal to 10 percent (or such other percentage specified in the applicable award agreement) of the income allocated in respect of a Common Unit. Upon conversion of AO LTIP Units to Common Units, Mr. DeMarco will be entitled to receive in respect of each such AO LTIP Unit, on a per unit basis, a special cash distribution equal to 10% (or such other percentage specified in the applicable award agreement) of the distributions received by a holder of an equivalent number of Common Units during the period from the grant date of the AO LTIP Units through the date of conversion. The Company has reserved shares of common stock under the 2013 Plan for issuance upon vesting and conversion of the AO LTIP Units in accordance with their terms and conditions.

The weighted average fair value of the AO LTIP Units granted during the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $3.98 per AO LTIP Unit. The fair value of each AO LTIP Unit grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Monte Carlo method. The following weighted average assumptions are included in the Company’s fair value calculations of AO LTIP Units granted during the three months ended March 31, 2019:

	AO LTIP
	Units
Expected life (in years)	5.5 - 6.0
Risk-free interest rate	2.6	%
Volatility	29.0	%
Dividend yield	3.5	%

As of March 31, 2020, the Company had $1.8 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested AO LTIP Units granted under the Company’s stock compensation plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted average period of 2.9 years. The Company recognized AO LTIP unit expense of $155,000 and $32,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS

The Company has issued stock awards (“Restricted Stock Awards”) to officers, certain other employees and non-employee members of the Board of Directors of the General Partner, which allow the holders to each receive a certain amount of shares of the General Partner’s common stock generally over a one year to seven year vesting period, of which 42,690 unvested shares were legally outstanding at March 31, 2020. Vesting of the Restricted Stock Awards issued is based on time and service.

On June 5, 2015, in connection with the new executive employment agreements signed at that time, the Company granted a total of 37,550.54 Restricted Stock Awards, which were valued in accordance with ASC 718 – Stock Compensation, at their fair value. These awards vested equally over a three year period on each annual anniversary date of the grant date.

46

All currently outstanding and unvested Restricted Stock Awards provided to the officers, certain other employees, and members of the Board of Directors of the General Partner were issued under the 2013 Plan.

Information regarding the Restricted Stock Awards grant activity is summarized below for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively:

			Weighted-Average
			Grant – Date

As of March 31, 2020, the Company had 0.3 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested Restricted Stock Awards granted under the Company’s stock compensation plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.2 years.

PERFORMANCE SHARE UNITS

On June 5, 2015, in connection with the new executive employment agreements signed at that time, the Company granted a total of 112,651.64 performance share units (“PSUs”) which was to vest from 0 to 150 percent of the number of PSUs granted based on the Company’s total shareholder return relative to a peer group of equity office REITs over a three year performance period starting from the grant date, each PSU evidencing the right to receive a share of the General Partner’s common stock upon vesting. The PSUs were also entitled to the payment of dividend equivalents in respect of vested PSUs in the form of additional PSUs. The PSUs were valued in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, at their fair value on the grant date, utilizing a Monte-Carlo simulation to estimate the probability of the vesting conditions being satisfied. The PSUs vested at 100 percent on June 5, 2018 based on the calculation of the achievement of the Company’s total shareholder return, for which shares of the General Partner’s common stock were issued under the 2013 Plan.

As of March 31, 2020, the Company had no unrecognized compensation cost as there are no unvested PSUs outstanding under the Company’s stock compensation plans.

LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN AWARDS

On March 8, 2016, the Company granted Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) awards to senior management of the Company, including the General Partner’s executive officers (the “2016 LTIP Awards”). All of the 2016 LTIP Awards were in the form of units in the Operating Partnership (“LTIP Units”) and constitute awards under the 2013 Plan. For Messrs. Rudin, DeMarco and Tycher, approximately 25 percent of the target 2016 LTIP Award was in the form of a time-based award that vested after three years on March 8, 2019 (the “2016 TBV LTIP Units”), and the remaining approximately 75 percent of the target 2016 LTIP Award was in the form of a performance-based award under a new Outperformance Plan (the “2016 OPP”) adopted by the General Partner’s Board of Directors consisting of a multi-year, performance-based equity compensation plan and related forms of award agreement (the “2016 PBV LTIP Units”). For all other executive officers, approximately 40 percent of the target 2016 LTIP Award was in the form of 2016 TBV LTIP Units and the remaining approximately 60 percent of the target 2016 LTIP Award was in the form of 2016 PBV LTIP Units. The 2016 TBV LTIP Units vested on March 8, 2019.

The 2016 OPP was designed to align the interests of senior management to relative and absolute performance of the Company over a three year performance period from March 8, 2016 through March 7, 2019. Participants in the 2016 OPP would only earn the full awards if, over the three year performance period, the Company achieves a 50 percent absolute total stockholder return (“TSR”) and if the Company is in the 75th percentile of performance versus the NAREIT Office Index. As the targets for vesting were not achieved, the 2016 PBV LTIP Units did not vest and were forfeited.

On April 4, 2017, the Company granted LTIP awards to senior management of the Company, including the General Partner’s executive officers (the “2017 LTIP Awards”). All of the 2017 LTIP Awards were in the form of LTIP Units and constitute awards under the 2013 Plan. For Messrs. DeMarco, Tycher and Rudin, approximately twenty-five percent (25%) of the 2017 LTIP Award was in the form of

a time-based award that vested after three years on April 4, 2020 (the “2017 TBV LTIP Units”), and the remaining approximately seventy-five percent (75%) of the 2017 LTIP Award was in the form of a performance-based award under the Company’s Outperformance Plan (the “2017 OPP”) adopted by the General Partner’s Board of Directors, consisting of a multi-year, performance-based equity compensation plan and related forms of award agreement (the “2017 PBV LTIP Units”). For all other executive officers, approximately forty percent (40%) of the 2017 LTIP Award was in the form of 2017 TBV LTIP Units and the remaining approximately sixty percent (60%) of the 2017 LTIP Award was in the form of 2017 PBV LTIP Units. The 2017 TBV LTIP Units vested on April 4, 2020.

Participants in the 2017 OPP will only earn the full awards if, over the three year performance period, the Company achieves a thirty-six percent (36%) absolute TSR and if the Company is in the 75th percentile of performance as compared to the NAREIT office index. As the targets for vesting were not achieved, the 2017 PBV LTIP Units did not vest and were forfeited.

On April 20, 2018, the Company granted LTIP awards to senior management of the Company, including the General Partner’s executive officers (the “2018 LTIP Awards”). All of the 2018 LTIP Awards were in the form of LTIP Units and constitute awards under the 2013 Plan. For Messrs.

For all other executive officers, approximately fifty percent (50%) of the grant date fair value of the 2018 LTIP Award was in the form of 2018 TBV LTIP Units and the remaining approximately fifty percent (50%) of the grant date fair value of the 2018 LTIP Award was in the form of 2018 PBV LTIP Units.

The 2018 OPP was designed to align the interests of senior management to relative and absolute performance of the Company over a three year performance period from April 20, 2018 through April 19, 2021. Participants in the 2018 OPP will only earn the full awards if, over the three year performance period, the Company achieves a thirty-six percent (36%) absolute TSR and if the Company’s TSR is in the 75th percentile of performance as compared to the office REITs in the NAREIT index.

On March 22, 2019, the Company granted LTIP awards to senior management of the Company, including the General Partner’s executive officers (the “2019 LTIP Awards”). All of the 2019 LTIP Awards were in the form of LTIP Units and constitute awards under the 2013 Plan. For Mr. DeMarco, approximately 25 percent of the target 2019 LTIP Awards were in the form of time-based LTIP Units that vest after three years on March 22, 2022 (the “2019 TBV LTIP Units”), and the remaining approximately 75 percent of the grant date fair value of his 2019 LTIP Award will be in the form of performance-based LTIP Units under the Company’s Outperformance Plan (the “2019 OPP”) adopted by the General Partner’s Board of Directors, consisting of a multi-year, performance-based equity compensation plan and related forms of award agreement (the “2019 PBV LTIP Units”). For Messrs.

Mr. DeBari, who was promoted to Chief Accounting Officer on March 13, 2019, received 100 percent of his 2019 LTIP Award in the form of 2019 TBV LTIP Units.

The 2019 OPP was designed to align the interests of senior management to relative and absolute performance of the Company over a three year performance period from March 22, 2019 through March 21, 2022. Participants of performance-based awards in the 2019 OPP will only earn the full awards if, over the three year performance period, the Company achieves a thirty-six percent (36%) absolute total stockholder return (“TSR”) and if the Company’s TSR is in the 75th percentile of performance as compared to the office REITs in the NAREIT index.

48

LTIP Units will remain subject to forfeiture depending on the extent that the 2017 LTIP Awards, 2018 LTIP Awards, 2019 LTIP Awards and 2020 LTIP Awards vest. The number of LTIP Units to be issued initially to recipients of the 2017 PBV LTIP Awards, 2018 PBV LTIP Awards, 2019 PBV LTIP Awards and 2020 PBV LTIP Awards is the maximum number of LTIP Units that may be earned under the awards. The number of LTIP Units that actually vest for each award recipient will be determined at the end of the performance measurement period. TSR for the Company and for the Index over the three year measurement period and other circumstances will determine how many LTIP Units vest for each recipient; if they are fewer than the number issued initially, the balance will be forfeited as of the performance measurement date.

Prior to vesting, recipients of LTIP Units will be entitled to receive per unit distributions equal to one-tenth (10 percent) of the regular quarterly distributions payable on a Common Unit but will not be entitled to receive any special distributions. Distributions with respect to the other nine-tenths (90 percent) of regular quarterly distributions payable on a common unit will accrue but shall only become payable upon vesting of the LTIP Unit. After vesting of the 2017 TBV LTIP Units, 2018 TBV LTIP Units and 2019 TBV LTIP Units or the end of the measurement period for the 2017 PBV LTIP Units, 2018 PBV LTIP Units, 2019 PBV LTIP Units and 2020 PBV LTIP Units, the number of LTIP Units, both vested and unvested, will be entitled to receive distributions in an amount per unit equal to distributions, both regular and special, payable on a Common Unit.

As a result of targets not being achieved or management and other personnel changes during the three months ended March 31, 2020, the employees forfeited and cancelled 3,008 2017 LTIP Awards, 6,572 2018 LTIP Awards, and 5,693 2019 LTIP Awards. As of March 31, 2020, a total of 11,155 2016 PBV LTIP Units, 75,578 2016 TBV LTIP Units, 388,408 2017 PBV LTIP Units, 79,672 2017 TBV LTIP Units, 629,252 2018 PBV LTIP Units, 186,645 2018 TBV LTIP Units, 392,476 2019 PBV LTIP Units, 167,454 2019 TBV LTIP Units, and 1,287,568 2020 PBV LTIP Units, net of LTIP Units forfeited and cancelled, were outstanding. The LTIP Units were valued in accordance with ASC 718 – Stock Compensation, at their fair value. The Company has reserved shares of common stock under the 2013 Plan for issuance upon vesting and conversion of the LTIP Units in accordance with their terms and conditions.

As of March 31, 2020, the Company had $19.7 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested LTIP awards granted under the Company’s stock compensation plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.8 years.

DEFERRED STOCK COMPENSATION PLAN FOR DIRECTORS

The Amended and Restated Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors, which commenced January 1, 1999, allows non-employee directors of the Company to elect to defer up to 100 percent of their annual retainer fee into deferred stock units. The deferred stock units are convertible into an equal number of shares of common stock upon the directors’ termination of service from the Board of Directors or a change in control of the Company, as defined in the plan. Pursuant to the termination of service of five directors from the Board of Directors on June 12, 2019, the Company converted 193,949 deferred stock units into shares of common stock. Deferred stock units are credited to each director quarterly using the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the applicable dividend record date for the respective quarter. Each participating director’s account is also credited for an equivalent amount of deferred stock units based on the dividend rate for each quarter.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, 5,804 and 5,870 deferred stock units were earned, respectively. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were 63,470 and 59,899 deferred stock units outstanding, respectively.

EARNINGS PER SHARE/UNIT

Basic EPS or EPU excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders or unitholders by the weighted average number of shares or units outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS or EPU reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. In the calculation of basic and diluted EPS and EPU, a redemption value adjustment of redeemable noncontrolling interests attributable to common shareholders or unitholders is included in the calculation to arrive at the numerator of net income (loss) available to common shareholders or unitholders.

17.    NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS IN SUBSIDIARIES

Noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries in the accompanying consolidated financial statements relate to (i) common units (“Common Units”) and LTIP units in the Operating Partnership, held by parties other than the General Partner (“Limited Partners”), and (ii) interests in consolidated joint ventures for the portion of such ventures not owned by the Company.

The following table reflects the activity of noncontrolling interests for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively (dollars in thousands):

		Three Months Ended

Rebalancing of ownership percentage between parent and subsidiaries		(742)		1,563
Balance at March 31	$	198,017	$	239,149

Pursuant to ASC 810, Consolidation, on the accounting and reporting for noncontrolling interests and changes in ownership interests of a subsidiary, changes in a parent’s ownership interest (and transactions with noncontrolling interests unitholders in the subsidiary) while the parent retains its controlling interest in its subsidiary should be accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying value of the noncontrolling interests shall be adjusted to reflect the change in its ownership interest in the subsidiary, with the offset to equity attributable to the parent. Accordingly, as a result of equity transactions which caused changes in ownership percentages between Mack-Cali Realty Corporation stockholders’ equity and noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company has decreased noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership and increased additional paid-in capital in Mack-Cali Realty Corporation stockholders’ equity by approximately $0.7 million as of March 31, 2020.

NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS IN OPERATING PARTNERSHIP (applicable only to General Partner)

Common Units

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company redeemed for cash 97,727 common units at their fair market value of $2.1 million.

Certain individuals and entities own common units in the Operating Partnership. A common unit and a share of Common Stock of the General Partner have substantially the same economic characteristics in as much as they effectively share equally in the net income or loss of the Operating Partnership. Common unitholders have the right to redeem their common units, subject to certain restrictions. The redemption is required to be satisfied in shares of Common Stock, cash, or a combination thereof, calculated as follows: one share of the General Partner’s Common Stock, or cash equal to the fair market value of a share of the General Partner’s Common Stock at the time of redemption, for each common unit. The General Partner, in its sole discretion, determines the form of redemption of common units (i.e., whether a common unitholder receives Common Stock, cash, or any combination thereof). If the General Partner elects to satisfy the redemption with shares of Common Stock as opposed to cash, it is obligated to issue shares of its Common Stock to the redeeming unitholder. Regardless of the rights described above, the common unitholders may not put their units for cash to the General Partner or the Operating Partnership under any circumstances. When a unitholder redeems a common unit, noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership is reduced and Mack-Cali Realty Corporation Stockholders’ equity is increased.

LTIP Units

On March 8, 2016, the Company granted 2016 LTIP Awards to senior management of the Company, including the General Partner’s executive officers. On April 4, 2017, the Company granted 2017 LTIP Awards to senior management of the Company, including the General Partner’s executive officers. On April 20, 2018, the Company granted 2018 LTIP Awards to senior management of the Company, including the General Partner’s executive officers. On March 22, 2019, the Company granted 2019 LTIP Awards to senior management of the Company, including the General Partner’s executive officers. On March 24, 2020, the Company granted 2020 LTIP Awards to senior management of the Company, including the General Partner’s executive officers. All of the 2016 LTIP Awards, 2017 LTIP Awards, 2018 LTIP Awards, 2019 LTIP Awards and 2020 LTIP Awards are in the form of units in the Operating Partnership. See Note 16: Mack-Cali Realty Corporation Stockholders’ Equity and Mack-Cali Realty, L.P.’s Partners’ Capital – Long-Term Incentive Plan Awards.

LTIP Units are designed to qualify as “profits interests” in the Operating Partnership for federal income tax purposes. As a general matter, the profits interests characteristics of the LTIP Units mean that initially they will not be economically equivalent in value to a common unit. If and when events specified by applicable tax regulations occur, LTIP Units can over time increase in value up to the point where they are equivalent to common units on a one-for-one basis. After LTIP Units are fully vested, and to the extent the special tax rules applicable to profits interests have allowed them to become equivalent in value to common units, LTIP Units may be converted on a one-for-one basis into common units. Common units in turn have a one-for-one relationship in value with shares of the General Partner’s common stock, and are redeemable on a one-for-one basis for cash or, at the election of the Company, shares of the General Partner’s common stock.

AO LTIP Units (Appreciation-Only LTIP Units)

On March 13, 2019, the Company granted 625,000 AO LTIP Units to Mr. DeMarco pursuant to the AO Long Term Incentive Plan Award Agreement. See Note 16: Mack-Cali Realty Corporation Stockholders’ Equity and Mack-Cali Realty, L.P.’s Partners’ Capital – AO LTIP Units (Appreciation-Only LTIP Units).

AO LTIP Units are a class of partnership interests in the Operating Partnership that are intended to qualify as “profit interests” for federal income tax purposes and generally only allow the recipient to realize value to the extent the fair market value of a share of Common Stock exceeds the threshold level set at the time the AO LTIP Units are granted, subject to any vesting conditions applicable to the award. The value of vested AO LTIP Units is realized through conversion of the AO LTIP Units into Common Units. The number of Common Units into which vested AO LTIP Units may be converted is determined based on the quotient of (i) the excess of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the conversion date over the threshold level designated at the time the AO LTIP Unit was granted, divided by (ii) the fair market value of the Common Stock on the conversion date. AO LTIP Units, once vested, have a finite term during which they may be converted into Common Units, not in excess of ten years from the grant date of the AO LTIP Units.

Noncontrolling Interests Ownership in Operating Partnership

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the noncontrolling interests common unitholders owned 9.5 percent and 9.6 percent of the Operating Partnership, respectively.

NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS IN CONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURES (applicable to General Partner and Operating Partnership)

The Company consolidates certain joint ventures in which it has ownership interests. Various entities and/or individuals hold noncontrolling interests in these ventures.

PARTICIPATION RIGHTS

The Company’s interests in certain real estate projects (one property and one potential future development) each provide for the initial distributions of net cash flow solely to the Company, and thereafter, other parties have participation rights in 50 percent of the excess net cash flow remaining after the distribution to the Company of the aggregate amount equal to the sum of: (a) the Company’s capital contributions, plus (b) an IRR of 10 percent per annum.

18.    SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company operates in two business segments: (i) commercial and other real estate and (ii) multi-family real estate and services. The Company provides leasing, property management, acquisition, development, construction and tenant-related services for its commercial and other real estate and multi-family real estate portfolio. The Company’s multi-family services business also provides similar services for third parties. The Company had no revenues from foreign countries recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. The Company had no long lived assets in foreign locations as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 2: Significant Accounting Policies, excluding depreciation and amortization.

The Company evaluates performance based upon net operating income from the combined properties and operations in each of its real estate segments (commercial and other real estate and multi-family real estate and services). All properties classified as discontinued operations have been excluded.

19.SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On April 24, 2020, the Company signed an agreement to sell 111 River Street, a 566,215 square foot office property located in Hoboken, New Jersey, for $244.5 million, subject to the transfer of the $150 million mortgage loan currently collateralized by the property to the buyer, and other conditions.

The recent outbreak of COVID-19 across many countries around the globe, including the U.S., has significantly slowed global economic activity, caused significant volatility in financial markets, and resulted in unprecedented job losses causing many to fear an imminent global recession. The global impact of the outbreak has been rapidly evolving. The responses of many countries, including the U.S., have included quarantines, restrictions on business activities, including construction activities, restrictions on group gatherings, and restrictions on travel. These actions are creating disruption in the global economy and supply chains and adversely impacting many industries, including owners and developers of office and mixed-use buildings. Moreover, there is significant uncertainty around the breadth and duration of business disruptions related to COVID-19, as well as its impact on the U.S. economy and consumer confidence. Demand for space at the Company’s properties is dependent on a variety of macroeconomic factors, such as employment levels, interest rates, changes in stock market valuations, rent levels and availability of competing space. These factors can be significantly adversely affected by a variety of factors beyond the Company’s control. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts the Company’s results will depend on future developments, many of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions taken to contain it or treat its impact. If the outbreak continues, there will likely be continued negative economic impacts, market volatility, and business disruption which could negatively impact the Company’s tenants’ ability to pay rent, the Company’s ability to lease vacant space, the Company’s property operating and other expenses and the Company’s ability to complete development and redevelopment projects, and these consequences, in turn, could materially impact the Company’s results of operations.

On April 10, 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued a Staff Q&A to respond to some frequently asked questions about accounting for lease concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Consequently, for concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, an entity will not have to analyze each contract to determine whether enforceable rights and obligations for concessions exist in the contract and can elect to apply or not apply the lease modification guidance to those contracts. Entities may make the elections for any lessor-provided concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic (e.g., deferrals of lease payments, cash payments made to the lessee, reduced future lease payments) as long as the concession does not result in a substantial increase in the rights of the lessor or the obligations of the lessee. The Company is currently working with tenants impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic to determine appropriate lease concessions. To date, the impact of lease concessions granted has not had a material effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company. The Company will continue to evaluate the impact of lease concessions and the appropriate accounting for those concessions.

ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements of Mack-Cali Realty Corporation and Mack-Cali Realty, L.P. and the notes thereto (collectively, the “Financial Statements”). Certain defined terms used herein have the meaning ascribed to them in the Financial Statements.

Executive Overview

Mack-Cali Realty Corporation, together with its subsidiaries, (collectively, the “General Partner”), including Mack-Cali Realty, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), has been involved in all aspects of commercial real estate development, management and ownership for over 60 years and the General Partner has been a publicly traded real estate investment trust (“REIT”) since 1994.

The Operating Partnership conducts the business of providing leasing, management, acquisition, development, construction and tenant-related services for its General Partner. The Operating Partnership, through its operating divisions and subsidiaries, including the Mack-Cali property-owning partnerships and limited liability companies, is the entity through which all of the General Partner’s operations are conducted. Unless stated otherwise or the context requires, the “Company” refers to the General Partner and its subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries.

As of March 31, 2020, the Company owned or had interests in 71 properties (collectively, the “Properties”), consisting of 41 office properties, totaling approximately 10.5 million square feet leased to approximately 325 commercial tenants, 22 multi-family rental properties containing 6,850 apartment units, four parking/retail properties, totaling approximately 108,000 square feet, three hotels containing 723 rooms and a parcel of land leased to a third party. The Properties are located in the Northeast, some with adjacent, Company-controlled developable land sites able to accommodate up to approximately 2.0 million square feet of additional commercial space and approximately 9,500 apartment units. 

The Company’s historical strategy has been to focus its operations, acquisition and development of office and multi-family rental properties in high-barrier-to-entry markets and sub-markets where it believes it is, or can become, a significant and preferred owner and operator. In September 2015, the Company announced an initiative to transform into a more concentrated owner of New Jersey Hudson River waterfront and transit-oriented office properties and a regional owner of luxury multi-family rental properties. As part of this plan, the Company has sold or has contracted to sell multiple properties, primarily commercial office and office/flex properties, which it believes do not meet its long-term goals. 

STRATEGIC DIRECTION

On December 19, 2019, the Company announced that its Board had determined to sell the Company’s entire suburban New Jersey office portfolio totaling approximately 6.6 million square feet (collectively, the “Suburban Office Portfolio”).  This does not include the Company’s waterfront office properties in Jersey City and Hoboken, New Jersey. As the decision to sell the Suburban Office Portfolio represented a strategic shift in the Company’s operations, the portfolio’s results are being classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented herein. See Note 7: Discontinued Operations – to the Financial Statements.

In late 2019 through March 31, 2020, the Company completed the sale of three of these suburban office properties, totaling 697,000 square feet, for net sales proceeds of $87.2 million. As of March 31, 2020, the Company has identified as held for sale the remaining 34 office properties (comprised of 12 disposal groups) in the Suburban Office Portfolio, totaling 5.9 million square feet (of which the Company currently has 17 properties totaling 2.5 million square feet under contract for sale for aggregate gross proceeds of $335.5 million).

The Company plans to complete the sale of its remaining Suburban Office Portfolio properties in 2020 and early 2021, and to use the available sales proceeds to pay down its corporate-level, unsecured indebtedness. However, the Company cannot predict whether or to what extent the timing of these sales and the expected amount and use of proceeds may be impacted by the ongoing coronavirus (“COVID-19”). After the completion of the Suburban Office Portfolio sales, the Company’s holdings will consist of its waterfront class A office portfolio and its multi-family rental portfolio, and related development projects and land holdings.

As an owner of real estate, almost all of the Company’s earnings and cash flow are derived from rental revenue received pursuant to leased space at the Properties. Key factors that affect the Company’s business and financial results include the following: 

the general economic climate;

the occupancy rates of the Properties;

rental rates on new or renewed leases;

58

tenant improvement and leasing costs incurred to obtain and retain tenants;

the extent of early lease terminations;

the value of our office properties and the cash flow from the sale of such properties;

operating expenses;

anticipated acquisition and development costs for office and multi-family rental properties and the revenues and earnings from these properties;

cost of capital; and

the extent of acquisitions, development and sales of real estate, including the execution of the Company’s current strategic initiative.

Any negative effects of the above key factors could potentially cause a deterioration in the Company’s revenue and/or earnings. Such negative effects could include: (1) failure to renew or execute new leases as current leases expire; (2) failure to renew or execute new leases with rental terms at or above the terms of in-place leases; and (3) tenant defaults. 

The Company’s ability to renew or execute new leases as current leases expire or to execute new leases with rental terms at or above the terms of in-place leases may be affected by several factors such as: (1) the local economic climate, which may be adversely impacted by business layoffs or downsizing, industry slowdowns, changing demographics and other factors; and (2) local real estate conditions, such as oversupply of the Company’s product types or competition within the market. 

In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic could potentially cause deterioration in the financial condition or liquidity of the Company’s tenants, which could impair their ability to pay rents. A number of the Company’s tenants have requested rent relief during this pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic could also potentially cause reduced demand for space at the Company’s office properties and/or units at its multifamily residential properties, which could have a negative impact on the Company’s prospects for leasing current or additional space and/or renewing leases with existing tenants.

Of the Company’s core office markets, most continue to show signs of rental rate improvement, while the lease percentage has declined or stabilized. The percentage leased in the Company’s stabilized core operating commercial properties included in its Consolidated Properties aggregating 10.1 million, 10.3 million and 11.1 million square feet at March 31, 2020, December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2019, respectively, was 81.1 percent leased at March 31, 2020 as compared to 80.7 percent leased at December 31, 2019 and 80.9 percent leased at March 31, 2019 (after adjusting for properties identified as non-core at the time). Percentage leased includes all leases in effect as of the period end date, some of which have commencement dates in the future and leases that expire at the period end date. Leases that expired as of March 31, 2020, December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2019 aggregate 39,211, 31,982 and 153,455 square feet, respectively, or 0.4, 0.3 and 1.4 percentage of the net rentable square footage, respectively. Rental rates (including escalations) on the Company’s core commercial space that was renewed (based on first rents payable) during the three months ended March 31, 2020 (on 87,217 square feet of renewals) increased an average of 19.7 percent compared to rates that were in effect under the prior leases, as compared to an 11.9 percent increase during the three months ended March 31, 2019 (on 102,240 square feet of renewals). Estimated lease costs for the renewed leases during the three months ended March 31, 2020 averaged $6.95 per square foot per year for a weighted average lease term of 8.8 years, and estimated lease costs for the renewed leases during the three months ended March 31, 2019 averaged $3.46 per square foot per year for a weighted average lease term of 4.7 years. The Company believes, although there can be no assurance, that vacancy rates at its commercial properties have begun to bottom as the majority of the known move-outs at its waterfront portfolio have already occurred. As of March 31, 2020, commercial leases which comprise approximately 4.1 and 10.2 percent of the Company’s annualized base rent are scheduled to expire during the years ending December 31, 2020 and 2021, respectively. With the positive rental rate results the Company has achieved in most of its markets recently, the Company believes, although there can be no assurance, that rental rates on new leases will generally be, on average, not lower than rates currently being paid.  If these recent leasing results do not prove to be sustaining through the remainder of 2020, the Company may receive less revenue from the same space.

During 2017, Moody’s downgraded its investment grade rating on the Company’s senior unsecured debt to sub-investment grade and during 2018, Standard & Poor’s lowered its investment grade rating on the Company’s senior unsecured debt to sub-investment grade. Amongst other things, such downgrade would have increased the interest rate on outstanding borrowings under the Company’s current $600 million unsecured revolving credit facility (which was amended in January 2017) from the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 120 basis points to LIBOR plus 155 basis points and the annual credit facility fee it pays would have increased from 25 to 30 basis points. Additionally, any such downgrade would have increased the current interest rate on each of the Company’s 2016 Term Loan and 2017 Term Loan from LIBOR plus 140 basis points to LIBOR plus 185 points.  Effective March 6, 2018, the Company elected to utilize the leverage grid pricing available under the unsecured revolving credit facility and both unsecured term loans. This resulted in an interest rate of LIBOR plus 130 basis points for the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility and 25 basis points for the facility fee and LIBOR plus 155 basis points for both unsecured term loans at the Company’s then total leverage ratio. In addition, a downgrade in its ratings to sub-investment grade would result in higher interest rates on senior unsecured debt that the Company may issue in the future as compared to issuing such debt with investment grade ratings.

(a)The Emery at Overlook Ridge property consists of a total of 326 multi-family units. The remaining 225 multi-family units are currently in construction and are expected to be placed in service in mid-2020.

Consolidations

On March 12, 2020, the Company, acquired its equity partner's 80 percent interest in Port Imperial North Retail L.L.C. a ground floor retail space totaling 30,745 square feet located at Port Imperial, West New York, New Jersey for $13.3 million in cash (funded through borrowing under the Company’s unsecured credit facility.) The results of the transaction increased the Company’s interest to 100 percent. Upon the acquisition, the Company consolidated the MC Roseland North Retail L.L.C. joint venture, a voting interest entity. As an acquisition of the remaining interests in the venture which owns the Port Imperial North Retail L.L.C., the Company accounted for the transaction as an asset acquisition under a cost accumulation model, no gain on change of control of interest was recognized in consolidation, resulting in total consolidated net assets of $15.0 million, which are allocated as follows:

		Port Imperial North Retail L.L.C.
Land and leasehold interests	$	4,305
Buildings and improvements and other assets, net		8,912
In-place lease values (a)		1,503
Above/Below market lease value, net (a)		313
Net assets recorded upon consolidation	$	15,033
(a) In-place and below market lease values are being amortized over a weighted-average term of 7.5 years.

Real Estate Held for Sale/Discontinued Operations/Dispositions

The Company identified 34 office properties (comprised of 12 disposal groups) totaling 5.9 million square feet (See Note 7: Discontinued Operations – to the Financial Statements), a retail pad leased to others and several developable land parcels as held for sale as of March 31, 2020. The total estimated sales proceeds, net of expected selling costs, from the sales of all the assets held for sale are expected to be approximately $1.1 billion. As a result of recent sales contract amendments and after considering the current market conditions as a result of the challenging economic climate with the current worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, the Company determined that the carrying value of 20 of the properties (comprised of four disposal groups) and several land parcels held for sale was not expected to be recovered from estimated net sales proceeds, and accordingly, during the three months ended March 31, 2020, recognized an unrealized loss allowance of $53.0 million for the properties ($45.1 million of which are from discontinued operations), and land impairments of $5.3 million.

The Company disposed of the following office and multi-family properties during the three months ended March 31, 2020 (dollars in thousands):

Rockpoint Transaction

On February 27, 2017, the Company, Roseland Residential Trust (“RRT”), the Company’s subsidiary through which the Company conducts its multi-family residential real estate operations, Roseland Residential, L.P. (“RRLP”), the operating partnership through which RRT conducts all of its operations, and certain other affiliates of the Company entered into a preferred equity investment agreement (the “Original Investment Agreement”) with certain affiliates of Rockpoint Group, L.L.C. (Rockpoint Group, L.L.C. and its affiliates, collectively, “Rockpoint”). The Original Investment Agreement provided for RRT to contribute property to RRLP in exchange for common units of limited partnership interests in RRLP (the “Common Units”) and for multiple equity investments by Rockpoint in RRLP from time to time for up to an aggregate of $300 million of preferred units of limited partnership interests in RRLP (the “Preferred Units”). The initial closing under the Original Investment Agreement occurred on March 10, 2017 for $150 million of Preferred Units and the parties agreed that the Company’s contributed equity value (“RRT Contributed Equity Value”), was $1.23 billion at closing. During the year ended December 31, 2018, a total additional amount of $105 million of Preferred Units were issued and sold to Rockpoint pursuant to the Original Investment Agreement. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, a total additional amount of $45 million of Preferred Units were issued and sold to Rockpoint pursuant to the Original Investment Agreement, which brought the Preferred Units to the full balance of $300 million. In addition, certain contributions of property to RRLP by RRT subsequent to the execution of the Original Investment Agreement resulted in RRT being issued approximately $46 million of Preferred Units as well as Common Units in RRLP prior to June 26, 2019.

61

On June 26, 2019, the Company, RRT, RRLP, certain other affiliates of the Company and Rockpoint entered into an additional preferred equity investment agreement (the “Add On Investment Agreement”). The closing under the Add On Investment Agreement occurred on June 28, 2019. Pursuant to the Add On Investment Agreement, Rockpoint invested an additional $100 million in Preferred Units and the Company and RRT agreed to contribute to RRLP two additional properties located in Jersey City, New Jersey. The Company used the $100 million in proceeds received to repay outstanding borrowings under its unsecured revolving credit facility and other debt by June 30, 2019. In addition, Rockpoint has a right of first refusal to invest another $100 million in Preferred Units in the event RRT determines that RRLP requires additional capital prior to March 1, 2023 and, subject thereto, RRLP may issue up to approximately $154 million in Preferred Units to RRT or an affiliate so long as at the time of such funding RRT determines in good faith that RRLP has a valid business purpose to use such proceeds. See Note 15: Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests – to the Financial Statements for additional information about the Add On Investment Agreement and the related transactions with Rockpoint.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include all accounts of the Company, its majority-owned and/or controlled subsidiaries, which consist principally of the Operating Partnership and variable interest entities for which the Company has determined itself to be the primary beneficiary, if any. See Note 2: Significant Accounting Policies – to the Financial Statements, for the Company’s treatment of unconsolidated joint venture interests. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, Consolidation, provides guidance on the identification of entities for which control is achieved through means other than voting rights (“variable interest entities” or “VIEs”) and the determination of which business enterprise, if any, should consolidate the VIEs. Generally, the consideration of whether an entity is a VIE applies when either: (1) the equity investors (if any) lack (i) the ability to make decisions about the entity's activities through voting or similar rights, (ii) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity, or (iii) the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity; (2) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support; or (3) the equity investors have voting rights that are not proportionate to their economic interests and substantially all of the activities of the entity involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor with a disproportionately small voting interest. The Company consolidates VIEs in which it is considered to be the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is defined by the entity having both of the following characteristics: (1) the power to direct the activities that, when taken together, most significantly impact the variable interest entity’s performance: and (2) the obligation to absorb losses and right to receive the returns from the VIE that would be significant to the VIE.

On January 1, 2016, the Company adopted accounting guidance under ASC 810, Consolidation, modifying the analysis it must perform to determine whether it should consolidate certain types of legal entities. The guidance does not amend the existing disclosure requirements for variable interest entities or voting interest model entities. The guidance, however, modified the requirements to qualify under the voting interest model. Under the revised guidance, the Operating Partnership will be a variable interest entity of the parent company, Mack-Cali Realty Corporation. As the Operating Partnership is already consolidated in the balance sheets of Mack-Cali Realty Corporation, the identification of this entity as a variable interest entity has no impact on the consolidated financial statements of Mack-Cali Realty Corporation. There were no other legal entities qualifying under the scope of the revised guidance that were consolidated as a result of the adoption.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). 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 reporting period. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s historical experience that are believed to be reasonable at the time. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts in order to conform with current period presentation, primarily related to classification of certain properties as discontinued operations. The Company’s critical accounting policies are those which require assumptions to be made about matters that are highly uncertain. Different estimates could have a material effect on the Company’s financial results. Judgments and uncertainties affecting the application of these policies and estimates may result in materially different amounts being reported under different conditions and circumstances.

Rental Property

Rental properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Costs directly related to the acquisition, development and construction of rental properties are capitalized. The Company adopted FASB guidance Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-01 on January 1, 2017, which revises the definition of a business and is expected to result in more transactions to be accounted for as asset acquisitions and significantly limit transactions that would be accounted for as business combinations. Where an acquisition has been determined to be an asset acquisition, acquisition-related costs are capitalized. Capitalized development and construction costs include pre-construction costs essential to the development of the property, development and construction costs, interest, property taxes,

62

insurance, salaries and other project costs incurred during the period of development. Interest capitalized by the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was $5.9 million and $4.3 million, respectively. Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred; major replacements and betterments, which improve or extend the life of the asset, are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Fully-depreciated assets are removed from the accounts.

The Company considers a construction project as substantially completed and held available for occupancy upon the substantial completion of improvements, but no later than one year from cessation of major construction activity (as distinguished from activities such as routine maintenance and cleanup). If portions of a rental project are substantially completed and occupied by tenants or residents, or held available for occupancy, and other portions have not yet reached that stage, the substantially completed portions are accounted for as a separate project. The Company allocates costs incurred between the portions under construction and the portions substantially completed and held available for occupancy, primarily based on a percentage of the relative commercial square footage or multi-family units of each portion, and capitalizes only those costs associated with the portion under construction.

Properties are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives are as follows:

Leasehold interests	Remaining lease term
Buildings and improvements	5 to 40 years
Tenant improvements	The shorter of the term of the
	related lease or useful life
Furniture, fixtures and equipment	5 to 10 years

Upon acquisition of rental property, the Company estimates the fair value of acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, building and improvements, and identified intangible assets and liabilities assumed, generally consisting of the fair value of (i) above and below market leases, (ii) in-place leases and (iii) tenant relationships. For asset acquisitions, the Company allocates the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values. The Company records goodwill or a gain on bargain purchase (if any) if the net assets acquired/liabilities assumed differ from the purchase consideration of a business combination transaction. In estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired, the Company considers information obtained about each property as a result of its due diligence and marketing and leasing activities, and utilizes various valuation methods, such as estimated cash flow projections utilizing appropriate discount and capitalization rates, estimates of replacement costs net of depreciation, and available market information. The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property considers the value of the property as if it were vacant.

Above-market and below-market lease values for acquired properties are initially recorded based on the present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for each corresponding in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above-market leases and the remaining initial term plus the term of any below-market fixed rate renewal options for below-market leases. The capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of base rental revenue over the remaining terms of the respective leases, and the capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to base rental revenue over the remaining initial terms plus the terms of any below-market fixed rate renewal options of the respective leases.

Other intangible assets acquired include amounts for in-place lease values and tenant relationship values, which are based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and the Company’s overall relationship with the respective tenant. Factors to be considered by management in its analysis of in-place lease values include an estimate of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions, and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, management includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up periods, depending on local market conditions. In estimating costs to execute similar leases, management considers leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses. Characteristics considered by management in valuing tenant relationships include the nature and extent of the Company’s existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenant’s credit quality and expectations of lease renewals. The values of in-place leases are amortized to expense over the remaining initial terms of the respective leases. The values of tenant relationship intangibles are amortized to expense over the anticipated life of the relationships or leases.

On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of the Company’s rental properties held for use may be impaired. In addition to identifying any specific circumstances which may affect a property or properties, management considers other criteria for determining which properties may require assessment for potential impairment. The criteria considered by management, depending on the type of property, may include reviewing low leased percentages, significant near-term lease expirations, current and historical operating and/or cash flow losses, construction cost overruns and/or other factors, including those that might impact the Company’s intent and ability to hold the property. A property’s value is impaired only if management’s estimate of the

63

aggregate future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) to be generated by the property over its estimated holding period is less than the carrying value of the property. If there are different possible scenarios for a property, the Company will take a probability-weighted approach to estimating future cash flow scenarios. To the extent impairment has occurred, the impairment loss is measured as the excess of the carrying value of the property over the fair value of the property. The Company’s estimates of aggregate future cash flows expected to be generated and estimated fair values for each property are based on a number of assumptions, including but not limited to estimated holding periods, market capitalization rates and discount rates, if applicable. For developable land holdings, an estimated per-unit market value assumption is also considered based on development rights for the land. These assumptions are generally based on management’s experience in its local real estate markets and the effects of current market conditions. The assumptions are subject to economic and market uncertainties including, among others, demand for space, competition for tenants, changes in market rental rates, and costs to operate each property. As these factors are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter management’s assumptions, the future cash flows estimated by management in its impairment analyses may not be achieved, and actual losses or impairments may be realized in the future.

Real Estate Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations

When assets are identified by management as held for sale, the Company discontinues depreciating the assets and estimates the sales price, net of selling costs, of such assets. The Company generally considers assets (as identified by their disposal groups) to be held for sale when the transaction has received appropriate corporate authority, it is probable to be sold within the following 12 months, and there are no significant contingencies relating to a sale. If, in management’s opinion, the estimated net sales price, net of selling costs, of the disposal groups which have been identified as held for sale is less than the carrying value of the assets, a valuation allowance (which is recorded as unrealized losses on disposition of rental property) is established. In the absence of an executed sales agreement with a set sales price, management’s estimate of the net sales price may be based on a number of assumptions, including but not limited to the Company’s estimates of future and stabilized cash flows, market capitalization rates and discount rates, if applicable. For developable land holdings, an estimated per-unit market value assumption is also considered based on development rights for the land. In addition, the Company classifies assets held for sale or sold as discontinued operations if the disposal groups represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. For any disposals qualifying as discontinued operations, the assets and their results are presented in discontinued operations in the financial statements for all periods presented. See Note 7: Discontinued Operations – to the Financial Statements.

If circumstances arise that previously were considered unlikely and, as a result, the Company decides not to sell an asset previously classified as held for sale, the asset is reclassified as held and used. An asset that is reclassified is measured and recorded individually at the lower of (a) its carrying value before the asset was classified as held for sale, adjusted for any depreciation (amortization) expense that would have been recognized had the asset been continuously classified as held and used, or (b) the fair value at the date of the subsequent decision not to sell.

Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

The Company accounts for its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures under the equity method of accounting. The Company applies the equity method by initially recording these investments at cost, as Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures, subsequently adjusted for equity in earnings and cash contributions and distributions. The outside basis portion of the Company’s joint ventures is amortized over the anticipated useful lives of the underlying ventures’ tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Generally, the Company would discontinue applying the equity method when the investment (and any advances) is reduced to zero and would not provide for additional losses unless the Company has guaranteed obligations of the venture or is otherwise committed to providing further financial support for the investee.    If the venture subsequently generates income, the Company only recognizes its share of such income to the extent it exceeds its share of previously unrecognized losses.

If the venture subsequently makes distributions and the Company does not have an implied or actual commitment to support the operations of the venture, the Company will not record a basis less than zero, rather such amounts will be recorded as equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures. 

On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of the Company’s investments in unconsolidated joint ventures may be impaired. An investment is impaired only if management’s estimate of the value of the investment is less than the carrying value of the investment, and such decline in value is deemed to be other than temporary. To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss shall be measured as the excess of the carrying value of the investment over the value of the investment. The Company’s estimates of value for each investment (particularly in real estate joint ventures) are based on a number of assumptions including but not limited to estimates of future and stabilized cash flows, market capitalization rates and discount rates, if applicable. These assumptions are based on management's experience in its local real estate markets and the effects of current market conditions. The assumptions are subject to economic and market uncertainties including, among others, demand for space, competition for tenants, changes in market rental rates, and operating costs. As these factors are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter management’s assumptions, the values estimated by management in its impairment analyses may not be realized, and actual losses

64

or impairment may be realized in the future. See Note 4: Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures – to the Financial Statements.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from leases includes fixed base rents under leases, which are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases. Unbilled rents receivable represents the cumulative amount by which straight-line rental revenue exceeds rents currently billed in accordance with the lease agreements.

Above-market and below-market lease values for acquired properties are initially recorded based on the present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for each corresponding in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above-market leases and the remaining initial term plus the term of any below-market fixed-rate renewal options for below-market leases. The capitalized above-market lease values for acquired properties are amortized as a reduction of revenue from leases over the remaining terms of the respective leases, and the capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to revenue from leases over the remaining initial terms plus the terms of any below-market fixed-rate renewal options of the respective leases.

The Company elected a practical expedient for its rental properties (as lessor) to avoid separating non-lease components that otherwise would need to be accounted for under the recently-adopted revenue accounting guidance (such as tenant reimbursements of property operating expenses) from the associated lease component since (1) the non-lease components have the same timing and pattern of transfer as the associated lease component and (2) the lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease; this enables the Company to account for the combination of the lease component and non-lease components as an operating lease since the lease component is the predominant component of the combined components.   

Due to the Company’s adoption of the practical expedient discussed above to not separate non-lease component revenue from the associated lease component, the Company is aggregating revenue from its lease components and non-lease components (comprised predominantly of tenant operating expense reimbursements) into the line entitled “Revenue from leases.” 

Revenue from leases also includes reimbursements and recoveries from tenants received from tenants for certain costs as provided in the lease agreements. These costs generally include real estate taxes, utilities, insurance, common area maintenance and other recoverable costs. See Note 14: Tenant Leases – to the Financial Statements.

Real estate services revenue includes property management, development, construction and leasing commission fees and other services, and payroll and related costs reimbursed from clients. Fee income derived from the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures (which are capitalized by such ventures) are recognized to the extent attributable to the unaffiliated ownership interests.

Parking income includes income from parking spaces leased to tenants and others.

Hotel income includes all revenue earned from hotel properties.

Other income includes income from tenants for additional services arranged for by the Company and income from tenants for early lease terminations.

All bad debt expense is being recorded as a reduction of the corresponding revenue account starting on January 1, 2019. Management performs a detailed review of amounts due from tenants for collectability based on factors affecting the billings and status of individual tenants. The factors considered by management in determining which individual tenant’s revenues are affected include the age of the receivable, the tenant’s payment history, the nature of the charges, any communications regarding the charges and other related information. Management’s estimate of bad debt write-off’s requires management to exercise judgment about the timing, frequency and severity of collection losses, which affects the revenue recorded.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

The Company evaluates the terms of the partnership units issued in accordance with the FASB’s Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity guidance. Units which embody an unconditional obligation requiring the Company to redeem the units for cash after a specified or determinable date (or dates) or upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within the control of the issuer are determined to be contingently redeemable under this guidance and are included as Redeemable noncontrolling interests and classified within the mezzanine section between Total liabilities and Stockholders’ equity on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The carrying amount of the redeemable noncontrolling interests will be changed by periodic accretions, so that the carrying amount will equal the estimated future redemption value at the redemption date.

Revenue from leases. Revenue from leases for the Same-Store Properties increased $0.4 million, or 0.5 percent, for 2020 as compared to 2019, due primarily to a 250 basis point increase in average same store percent leased of the office portfolio from 75.7 percent in 2019 to 78.2 percent in 2020.

Parking income. Parking income for the Same-Store Properties increased $0.2 million, or 3.6 percent, for 2020 as compared to 2019, due primarily to a small increase in usage in 2020 at residential and commercial properties, over 2019 volume.

Hotel income. Hotel income for the Same-Store Properties increased $0.4 million, or 125.8 percent, for 2020 as compared to 2019 due to activity at a hotel property that commenced operations at the end of 2018, and accordingly had minimal revenue in 2019.

Other income. Other income for the Same-Store Properties increased $0.2 million, or 8.3 percent, for 2020 as compared to 2019, due primarily to small increases in several other income items in 2020, as compared to 2019.

Real estate taxes. Real estate taxes for the Same-Store Properties decreased $0.7 million, or 5.7 percent, for 2020 as compared to 2019, due primarily to lower tax assessment values for the Company’s office properties in Jersey City, New Jersey, in 2020 as compared to 2019.

Utilities. Utilities for the Same-Store Properties decreased $0.5 million, or 8.0 percent, for 2020 as compared to 2019, due primarily to decreased electricity rates in 2020 as compared to 2019.

Operating services. Operating services for the Same-Store Properties decreased $0.7 million, or 4.3 percent, for 2020 as compared to 2019, due primarily to a decrease in property management salaries and related expenses in 2020 as compared to 2019.

Real estate services revenue. Real estate services revenue (primarily reimbursement of property personnel costs) decreased $0.8 million, or 22.1 percent, for 2020 as compared to 2019, due primarily to decreased third party development and management activity in multi-family services in 2020, as compared to 2019.

Real estate services expense. Real estate services expense decreased $0.5 million, or 12.8 percent, for 2020 as compared to 2019, due primarily to decreased salaries and related expenses from lower third party development and management activities in 2020, as compared to 2019.

General and administrative. General and administrative expenses increased $2.5 million, or 18.8 percent, for 2020 as compared to 2019, due primarily to increased professional fees, primarily from proxy fight costs, and reporting systems conversion costs in 2020 as

67

compared to 2019.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased $2.3 million, or 7.2 percent, for 2020 over 2019. This increase was due primarily to an increase of approximately $10.5 million for 2020 as compared to 2019 on the Acquired Properties. This was partially offset by lower depreciation of approximately $0.2 million on the Same-Store Properties for 2020 as compared to 2019, and a decrease of approximately $8.0 million in 2020 as compared to 2019 for properties sold or removed from service.

Land and other impairments. In 2020, the Company recorded $5.3 million of impairments of developable land parcels which are classified as held for sale. See Note 3: Recent Transactions – Real Estate Held For Sale – to the Financial Statements.

Interest expense. Interest expense decreased $2.6 million, or 10.9 percent, for 2020 as compared to 2019. This decrease was primarily the result of lower average interest rates in 2020 as compared to 2019.

Interest and other investment income. Interest and other investment income decreased $0.8 million, or 96.1 percent for 2020 as compared to 2019, due primarily to lower average notes receivable balances outstanding in 2020 as compared to 2019.

Equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated joint ventures. Equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures was relatively unchanged for 2020 as compared to 2019.

Gain on change of control of interests. The Company recorded a gain on change of control of interests of $13.8 million in 2019 as a result of its acquisition of the controlling interest of its equity partners in a joint venture which owns a multi-family property located in Jersey City, New Jersey.

Realized gains (losses) and unrealized losses on disposition of rental property, net. The Company had realized gains (unrealized losses) on disposition of rental property of a net loss of $7.9 million in 2020, as compared to a net gain of $268.1 million in 2019. See Note 3: Recent Transactions – Dispositions – to the Financial Statements.

Gain on disposition of developable land. In 2020, the Company recorded a gain of $4.8 million on the sale of land holdings located in Middletown, New Jersey and Greenbelt, Maryland. See Note 3: Recent Transactions – Dispositions – to the Financial Statements.

Gain(loss) from extinguishment of debt, net. In 2019, the Company recognized a gain from extinguishment of debt of $1.3 million in connection with the early termination of part of interest rate swap agreements, which resulted from the early repayment of $90 million of an unsecured term loan in 2019. See Note 8 to the Financial Statements: Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loans.

Discontinued operations. For all periods presented, the Company classified 37 office properties totaling 6.6 million square feet as discontinued operations, some of which were sold during the periods. The income from these properties increased $13.8 million for 2020 as compared to 2019, due primarily to a decrease in depreciation and amortization costs of $15.1 million for 2020 as compared to 2019. The Company recognized realized gains (losses) and unrealized losses on disposition of rental property and impairments, net, of a loss of $27.7 million on these properties in 2020, with no gains/losses in 2019.

Net income (loss). Net income (loss) decreased to a loss of $37.8 million in 2020 from net income of $275.6 million in 2019. The decrease was due to the factors discussed above.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity

Overview

Historically, rental revenue has been the Company’s principal source of funds to pay operating expenses, debt service, capital expenditures and dividends, excluding non-recurring capital expenditures. To the extent that the Company’s cash flow from operating activities is insufficient to finance its non-recurring capital expenditures such as property acquisitions, development and construction costs and other capital expenditures, the Company has and expects to continue to finance such activities through borrowings under its unsecured revolving credit facility, other debt and equity financings, proceeds from the sale of properties and joint venture capital.

The Company expects to meet its short-term liquidity requirements generally through its working capital, which may include proceeds from the sales of office properties (including the Suburban Office Portfolio, of which $335.5 million of properties are under contract for sale), net cash provided by operating activities and draw from its unsecured revolving credit facility. The Company frequently examines potential property acquisitions and development projects and, at any given time, one or more of such acquisitions or development projects may be under consideration. Accordingly, the ability to fund property acquisitions and development projects is a major part of the Company’s financing requirements. The Company expects to meet its financing requirements through funds generated from operating activities, to the extent available, proceeds from property sales, joint venture capital, long-term and short-term borrowings (including draws on the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility) and the issuance of additional debt and/or equity securities.

The recent outbreak of COVID-19 across many countries around the globe, including the U.S., has significantly slowed global economic activity, caused significant volatility in financial markets, and resulted in unprecedented job losses causing many to fear an imminent global recession. The global impact of the outbreak has been rapidly evolving the responses of many countries, including the U.S., have included quarantines, restrictions on business activities, including construction activities, restrictions on group gatherings, and restrictions on travel. These actions are creating disruption in the global economy and supply chains and adversely impacting many industries, including owners and developers of office and mixed-use buildings. Moreover, there is significant uncertainty around the breadth and duration of business disruptions related to COVID-19, as well as its impact on the U.S. economy and consumer confidence. Demand for space at the Company’s properties is dependent on a variety of macroeconomic factors, such as employment levels, interest rates, changes in stock market valuations, rent levels and availability of competing space. These factors can be significantly adversely affected by a variety of factors beyond the Company’s control. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts the Company’s results will depend on future developments, many of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions taken to contain it or treat its impact. If the outbreak continues, there will likely be continued negative economic impacts, market volatility, and business disruption which could negatively impact the Company’s tenants’ ability to pay rent, the Company’s ability to lease vacant space, and the Company’s ability to complete development and redevelopment projects, and these consequences, in turn, could materially impact the Company’s results of operations.

Repositioning of the Company’s Portfolio

In September 2015, the Company announced an initiative to transform into a more concentrated owner of New Jersey Hudson River waterfront and transit-oriented office properties and a regional owner of luxury multi-family rental properties. As part of this plan, the Company has sold multiple properties, primarily commercial office and office/flex properties, which it believes do not meet its long-term goals, and has invested in other real estate assets that the Company believes meet the Company’s long-term goals. 

In December 2019, the Company announced that the Board of Directors of the General Partner has determined to sell the Company’s remaining Suburban Office Portfolio totaling approximately 5.9 million square feet of office space. The Company plans to use the available estimated net sales proceeds of approximately $1.1 billion to pay down its corporate-level, unsecured indebtedness.  

Construction Projects

The Company is developing a 313-unit multi-family project known as Port Imperial South 9 at Port Imperial in Weehawken, New Jersey, which began construction in third quarter 2018. The construction project, which is estimated to cost $142.9 million, of which construction costs of $77.7 million have been incurred through March 31, 2020, is expected to be ready for occupancy in first quarter 2021. The Company has funded $50.9 million as of March 31, 2020, and the remaining construction costs are expected to be funded from a $92 million construction loan.

The Company is developing a 198-unit multi-family project known as The Upton at Short Hills located in Short Hills, New Jersey, which began construction in fourth quarter 2018. The construction project, which is estimated to cost $99.4 million, of which

69

$55.9 million have been incurred through March 31, 2020, is expected to be ready for occupancy in fourth quarter 2020. The Company has funded $35.4 million of the construction costs, and the remaining construction costs are expected to be funded from a $64 million construction loan.

The Company is developing a 750-unit multi-family project at 25 Christopher Columbus in Jersey City, New Jersey, which began construction in first quarter 2019. The construction project, which is estimated to cost $469.5 million, of which $195.4 million have been incurred through March 31, 2020, is expected to be ready for occupancy in first quarter 2022. The Company is expected to fund $169.5 million of the construction costs of which the Company has funded $138.5 million as of March 31, 2020, and the remaining construction costs are expected to be funded from a $300 million construction loan (of which $38.4 million was drawn as of March 31, 2020).

REIT Restrictions

To maintain its qualification as a REIT under the IRS Code, the General Partner must make annual distributions to its stockholders of at least 90 percent of its REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and by excluding net capital gains. Moreover, the General Partner intends to continue to make regular quarterly distributions to its common stockholders. Based upon the most recently paid common stock dividend rate of $0.20 per common share, in the aggregate, such distributions would equal approximately $72.5 million ($81.5 million, including units in the Operating Partnership held by parties other than the General Partner) on an annualized basis. However, any such distributions, whether for federal income tax purposes or otherwise, would be paid out of available cash, including borrowings and other sources, after meeting operating requirements, preferred stock dividends and distributions, and scheduled debt service on the Company’s debt. If and to the extent the Company retains and does not distribute any net capital gains, the General Partner will be required to pay federal, state and local taxes on such net capital gains at the rate applicable to capital gains of a corporation.

Property Lock-Ups

Through February 2016, the Company could not dispose of or distribute certain of its properties, which were originally contributed by certain unrelated common unitholders of the Operating Partnership, without the express written consent of such common unitholders, as applicable, except in a manner which did not result in recognition of any built-in-gain (which may result in an income tax liability) or which reimbursed the appropriate specific common unitholders for the tax consequences of the recognition of such built-in-gains (collectively, the “Property Lock-Ups”). Upon the expiration in February 2016 of the Property Lock-Ups, the Company is generally required to use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent any sale, transfer or other disposition of the subject properties from resulting in the recognition of built-in gain to the specific common unitholders, which include members of the Mack Group (which includes William L. Mack, Chairman of the General Partner’s Board of Directors; David S. Mack, a former director; and Earle I. Mack, a former director), the Robert Martin Group, and the Cali Group (which includes John R. Cali, a former director). As of March 31, 2020, after the effects of tax-free exchanges on certain of the originally contributed properties, either wholly or partially, over time, 27 of the Company’s properties, as well as certain land and development projects, including properties classified as held for sale as of March 31, 2020, with an aggregate carrying value of approximately $1.8 billion, are subject to these conditions.

Unencumbered Properties

As of March 31, 2020, the Company had 36 unencumbered properties with a carrying value of $1.6 billion representing 70.6 percent of the Company’s total consolidated property count.

Cash Flows

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash decreased by $0.1 million to $41.1 million at March 31, 2020, compared to $41.2 million at December 31, 2019. This increase is comprised of the following net cash flow items:

On January 25, 2017, the Company entered into an amended revolving credit facility and new term loan agreement (“2017 Credit Agreement”) with a group of 13 lenders. Pursuant to the 2017 Credit Agreement, the Company refinanced its existing $600 million unsecured revolving credit facility (“2017 Credit Facility”) and entered into a new $325 million unsecured term loan facility (“2017 Term Loan”). Effective March 6, 2018, the Company elected to determine its interest rate under the 2017 Credit Agreement and under the 2017 Term Loan using the defined leverage ratio option, resulting in an interest rate of LIBOR plus 130 basis points and LIBOR plus 155 basis points, respectively.

The terms of the 2017 Credit Facility include: (1) a four-year term ending in January 2021, with two six-month extension options, subject to the Company not being in default on the facility and with the payment of a fee of 7.5 basis points for each extension; (2) revolving credit loans may be made to the Company in an aggregate principal amount of up to $600 million (subject to increase as discussed below), with a sublimit under the 2017 Credit Facility for the issuance of letters of credit in an amount not to exceed $60 million (subject to increase as discussed below); (3) an interest rate based on the Operating Partnership’s unsecured debt ratings from Moody’s or S&P, or, at the Operating Partnership’s option, if it no longer maintains a debt rating from Moody’s or S&P or such debt ratings fall below Baa3 and BBB-, based on a defined leverage ratio; and (4) a facility fee, currently 25 basis points, payable quarterly based on the Operating Partnership’s unsecured debt ratings from Moody’s or S&P, or, at the Operating Partnership’s option, if it no longer maintains a debt rating from Moody’s or S&P or such debt ratings fall below Baa3 and BBB-, based on a defined leverage ratio.

After electing to use the defined leverage ratio to determine the interest rate, the interest rate under the 2017 Credit Facility is currently based on the following total leverage ratio grid:

		Interest Rate -
		Applicable
	Interest Rate -	Basis Points
	Applicable	Above LIBOR for
	Basis Points	Alternate Base	Facility Fee
Total Leverage Ratio	Above LIBOR	Rate Loans	Basis Points
<45%	125.0	25.0	20.0

≥50% and <55%	135.0	35.0	30.0
≥55%	160.0	60.0	35.0

Prior to the election to use the defined leverage ratio option, the interest rates on outstanding borrowings, alternate base rate loans and the facility fee on the current borrowing capacity, payable quarterly in arrears, on the 2017 Credit Facility were based upon the Operating Partnership’s unsecured debt ratings, as follows:

		Interest Rate -
		Applicable
	Interest Rate -	Basis Points
Operating Partnership's	Applicable	Above LIBOR for
Unsecured Debt Ratings:	Basis Points	Alternate Base	Facility Fee

BBB+ or Baa1	90.0	0.0	15.0
A- or A3 or higher	87.5	0.0	12.5

The terms of the 2017 Term Loan included: (1) a three-year term ending in January 2020, with two one-year extension options; (2) multiple draws of the term loan commitments may be made within 12 months of the effective date of the 2017 Credit Agreement up to an aggregate principal amount of $325 million (subject to increase as discussed below), with no requirement to be drawn in full; provided, that, if the Company does not borrow at least 50 percent of the initial term commitment from the term lenders (i.e. 50 percent of $325 million) on or before July 25, 2017, the amount of unused term loan commitments shall be reduced on such date so that, after giving effect to such reduction, the amount of unused term loan commitments is not greater than the outstanding term loans on such date; (3) an interest rate, based on the Operating Partnership’s unsecured debt ratings from Moody’s or S&P or, at the Operating Partnership’s option if it no longer maintains a debt rating from Moody’s or S&P or such debt ratings fall below Baa3 and BBB-, based on a defined leverage ratio; and (4) a term commitment fee on any unused term loan commitment during the first 12 months after the effective date of the 2017 Credit Agreement at a rate of 0.25 percent per annum on the sum of the average daily unused portion of the aggregate term loan commitments.

On March 29, 2017, the Company executed interest rate swap arrangements to fix LIBOR with an aggregate average rate of 1.6473% for the swaps and a current aggregate fixed rate of 3.0473% for borrowings under the 2017 Term Loan.

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company prepaid the 2017 Term Loan (using a portion of the proceeds from a new mortgage loan collateralized by an office building located at 111 River Street and using borrowings under the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility) and recorded a net loss of $173,000 from extinguishment of debt, as a result of a gain of $80,000 due to the early termination of part of the interest rate swap arrangements, and the write off of unamortized deferred financing costs and fees of $253,000 due to the early debt prepayment.

After electing to use the defined leverage ratio to determine the interest rate, the interest rate under the 2017 Term Loan was currently based on the following total leverage ratio grid:

		Interest Rate -

Prior to the election to use the defined leverage ratio option, the interest rate on the 2017 Term Loan was based upon the Operating Partnership's unsecured debt ratings, as follows:

		Interest Rate -

	Interest Rate -	Basis Points
Operating Partnership's	Applicable	Above LIBOR for

BBB or Baa2	115.0	15.0
BBB+ or Baa1	100.0	0.0
A- or A3 or higher	90.0	0.0

On up to four occasions at any time after the effective date of the 2017 Credit Agreement, the Company may elect to request (1) an increase to the existing revolving credit commitments (any such increase, the “New Revolving Credit Commitments”) and/or (2) the establishment of one or more new term loan commitments (the “New Term Commitments”, together with the 2017 Credit Commitments, the “Incremental Commitments”), by up to an aggregate amount not to exceed $350 million for all Incremental Commitments. The Company may also request that the sublimit for letters of credit available under the 2017 Credit Facility be increased to $100 million (without arranging any New Revolving Credit Commitments). No lender or letter of credit issued has any obligation to accept any Incremental Commitment or any increase to the letter of credit subfacility. There is no premium or penalty associated with full or partial prepayment of borrowings under the 2017 Credit Agreement.

The 2017 Credit Agreement, which applies to both the 2017 Credit Facility and 2017 Term Loan, includes certain restrictions and covenants which limit, among other things the incurrence of additional indebtedness, the incurrence of liens and the disposition of real estate properties (to the extent that: (i) such property dispositions cause the Company to default on any of the financial ratios of the 2017 Credit Agreement (described below), or (ii) the property dispositions are completed while the Company is under an event of default under the 2017 Credit Agreement, unless, under certain circumstances, such disposition is being carried out to cure such default), and which require compliance with financial ratios relating to the maximum leverage ratio (60 percent), the maximum amount of secured indebtedness (40 percent), the minimum amount of fixed charge coverage (1.5 times), the maximum amount of unsecured indebtedness (60 percent), the minimum amount of unencumbered property interest coverage (2.0 times) and certain investment limitations (generally 15 percent of total capitalization).  The 2017 Credit Agreement contains “change of control” provisions that permit the lenders to declare a default and require the immediate repayment of all outstanding borrowings under the 2017 Credit Facility. These change of control provisions, which have been an event of default under the agreements governing the Company’s revolving credit facilities since June 2000, are triggered if, among other things, a majority of the seats on the Board of Directors (other than vacant seats) become occupied by directors who were neither nominated by the Board Directors nor appointed by a majority of directors nominated by the Board of Directors. Furthermore, the agreements governing the Company's Senior Unsecured Notes include cross-acceleration provisions that would constitute an event of default requiring immediate repayment of the Notes if the change of control provisions under the 2017 Credit Facility are triggered and the lenders declare a default and exercise their rights under the 2017 Credit Facility and accelerate repayment of the outstanding borrowings thereunder. In addition, construction loans secured by two multi-family residential property development projects contain cross-acceleration provisions similar to those in the agreements governing the Notes for defaults by the Company. If these change of control provisions were triggered, the Company could seek a forbearance, waiver or amendment of the change of control provisions from the lenders, however there can be no assurance that the Company would be able to obtain such forbearance, waiver or amendment on acceptable terms or at all. If an event of default has occurred and is continuing, the entire

74

outstanding balance under the 2017 Credit Agreement may (or, in the case of any bankruptcy event of default, shall) become immediately due and payable, and the Company will not make any excess distributions except to enable the General Partner to continue to qualify as a REIT under the IRS Code.

Before it amended and restated its unsecured revolving credit facility in January 2017, the Company had a $600 million unsecured revolving credit facility with a group of 17 lenders that was scheduled to mature in July 2017. The interest rate on outstanding borrowings (not electing the Company’s competitive bid feature) and the facility fee on the current borrowing capacity payable quarterly in arrears was based upon the Operating Partnership’s unsecured debt ratings at the time, as follows:

Operating Partnership's	Interest Rate -
Unsecured Debt Ratings:	Applicable Basis Points	Facility Fee
Higher of S&P or Moody's	Above LIBOR	Basis Points
No ratings or less than BBB-/Baa3	170.0	35.0
BBB- or Baa3 (since January 2017 amendment)	130.0	30.0
BBB or Baa2	110.0	20.0
BBB+ or Baa1	100.0	15.0
A- or A3 or higher	92.5	12.5

In January 2016, the Company obtained a $350 million unsecured term loan (“2016 Term Loan”), which had been scheduled to mature in January 2019 with two one-year extension options. On January 7, 2019, the Company exercised the first one-year extension option with the payment of an extension fee of $0.5 million, which extended the maturity of the 2016 Term Loan to January 2020. The interest rate for the term loan is based on the Operating Partnership’s unsecured debt ratings, or, at the Company's option, a defined leverage ratio. Effective March 6, 2018, the Company elected to determine its interest rate under the 2016 Term Loan using the defined leverage ratio option, resulting in an interest rate of LIBOR plus 155 basis points. The Company entered into interest rate swap arrangements to fix LIBOR for the duration of the term loan. Including costs, the current all-in fixed rate is 3.13 percent. The proceeds from the loan were used primarily to repay outstanding borrowings on the Company’s then existing unsecured revolving credit facility and to repay $200 million senior unsecured notes that matured on January 15, 2016.  

During the year ended December 31 2019, the Company prepaid the 2016 Term Loan (using a portion of the cash sales proceeds from the Flex portfolio sale, using the proceeds from a mortgage loan financing obtained on Soho Lofts Apartments) and using a portion of the proceeds from a new mortgage loan collateralized by an office building located at 111 River Street) and recorded a gain of $2.1 million due to the early termination of part of the interest rate swap arrangements and the write off of unamortized deferred financing costs and fees of $242,000 due to the early debt prepayments.

In summary, the Company recorded a net gain(loss) on extinguishment of debt of $1.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2019, as described above.

After electing to use the defined leverage ratio to determine interest rate, the interest rate under the 2016 Term Loan was based on the following total leverage ratio grid:

	Interest Rate -
	Applicable Basis
Total Leverage Ratio	Points above LIBOR
<45%	145.0
≥45% and <50% (current ratio)	155.0
≥50% and <55%	165.0
≥55%	195.0

Prior to the election to use the defined leverage ratio option, the interest rate on the 2016 Term Loan was based upon the Operating Partnership’s unsecured debt ratings, as follows:

Operating Partnership's	Interest Rate -
Unsecured Debt Ratings:	Applicable Basis Points
Higher of S&P or Moody's	Above LIBOR
No ratings or less than BBB-/Baa3	185.0
BBB- or Baa3 (interest rate based on Company's election through March 5, 2018)	140.0
BBB or Baa2	115.0
BBB+ or Baa1	100.0
A- or A3 or higher	90.0

The terms of the 2016 Term Loan include certain restrictions and covenants which limit, among other things the incurrence of additional indebtedness, the incurrence of liens and the disposition of real estate properties (to the extent that: (i) such property dispositions cause the Company to default on any of the financial ratios of the term loan described below, or (ii) the property dispositions are completed while the Company is under an event of default under the term loan, unless, under certain circumstances, such disposition is being carried out to cure such default), and which require compliance with financial ratios relating to the maximum leverage ratio (60 percent), the maximum amount of secured indebtedness (40 percent), the minimum amount of fixed charge coverage (1.5 times), the maximum amount of unsecured indebtedness (60 percent), the minimum amount of unencumbered property interest coverage (2.0 times) and certain investment limitations (generally 15 percent of total capitalization). If an event of default has occurred and is continuing, the Company will not make any excess distributions except to enable the General Partner to continue to qualify as a REIT under the IRS Code.  

On August 30, 2018, the Company entered into an amendment to the 2017 Credit Agreement (the “2017 Credit Agreement Amendment”) and an amendment to the 2016 Term Loan (the “2016 Term Loan Agreement Amendment”).

Each of the 2017 Credit Agreement Amendment and the 2016 Term Loan Amendment was effective as of June 30, 2018 and provided for the following material amendments to the terms of both the 2017 Credit Agreement and 2016 Term Loan):

1.The unsecured debt ratio covenant has been modified with respect to the measurement of the unencumbered collateral pool of assets in the calculation of such ratio for the period commencing July 1, 2018 and continuing until December 31, 2019 to allow the Operating Partnership to utilize the “as-is” appraised value of the properties known as ‘Harborside Plaza I’ and ‘Harborside Plaza V’ properties located in Jersey City, NJ in such calculation; and

2.A new covenant has been added that prohibits the Company from making any optional or voluntary payment, repayment, repurchase or redemption of any unsecured indebtedness of the Company (or any subsidiaries) that matures after January 25, 2022, at any time when any of the Total Leverage Ratio or the unsecured debt ratio covenants exceeds 60 percent (all as defined in the 2017 Credit Agreement and the 2016 Term Loan) or an appraisal is being used to determine the value of Harborside Plaza I and Harborside Plaza V for the unsecured debt ratio covenant.

All other terms and conditions of the 2017 Credit Agreement remain unchanged.

Mortgages, Loans Payable and Other Obligations

The Company has other mortgages, loans payable and other obligations which consist of various loans collateralized by certain of the Company’s rental properties. Payments on mortgages, loans payable and other obligations are generally due in monthly installments of principal and interest, or interest only.

Debt Strategy

The Company does not intend to reserve funds to retire the Company’s senior unsecured notes, outstanding borrowings under its unsecured revolving credit facility, or its mortgages, loans payable and other obligations upon maturity. Instead, the Company will seek to retire such debt primarily with available proceeds to be received from the Company’s planned sales of its Suburban Office Portfolio assets over time, as well as obtaining additional mortgage financings on or before the applicable maturity dates. If it cannot raise sufficient proceeds to retire the maturing debt, the Company may draw on its revolving credit facility to retire the maturing indebtedness, which would reduce the future availability of funds under such facility. As of May 6, 2020, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $326 million under its unsecured revolving credit facility. The Company is reviewing various financing and refinancing options, including the redemption or purchase of the senior unsecured notes in public tender offers or privately-negotiated transactions, the issuance of additional, or exchange of current, unsecured debt of the Operating Partnership or common and preferred stock of the General Partner, and/or obtaining additional mortgage debt of the Operating Partnership, some or all of which may be completed in 2020. The Company currently anticipates that its available cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operating activities and proceeds from the sale of real estate assets and joint ventures investments, together with cash available from borrowings and other sources, will be adequate to meet the Company’s capital and liquidity needs in the short term. However, if these sources of funds are insufficient or unavailable, due to current economic conditions or otherwise, or if capital needs to fund acquisition and development opportunities in the multi-family rental sector arise, the Company’s ability to make the expected distributions discussed in “REIT Restrictions” above may be adversely affected.

Share/Unit Repurchase Program

The General Partner has a share repurchase program which was renewed and authorized by its Board of Directors in September 2012 to purchase up to $150 million of the General Partner’s outstanding common stock (“Repurchase Program”), which it may repurchase from time to time in open market transactions at prevailing prices or through privately negotiated transactions. As of March 31, 2020, the General Partner has a remaining authorization under the Repurchase Program of $139 million. There were no common stock repurchases in the year ended December 31, 2019 and through May 6, 2020.  

Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan

The Company has a Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan (the “DRIP”) which commenced in March 1999 under which approximately 5.5 million shares of the General Partner’s common stock have been reserved for future issuance. The DRIP provides for automatic reinvestment of all or a portion of a participant’s dividends from the General Partner’s shares of common stock. The DRIP also permits participants to make optional cash investments up to $5,000 a month without restriction and, if the Company waives this limit, for additional amounts subject to certain restrictions and other conditions set forth in the DRIP prospectus filed as part of the Company’s effective registration statement on Form S-3 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the approximately 5.5 million shares of the General Partner’s common stock reserved for issuance under the DRIP.

Shelf Registration Statements

The General Partner has an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 filed with the SEC for an aggregate amount of $2.0 billion in common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares, and/or warrants of the General Partner, under which no securities have been sold as of May 6, 2020.

The General Partner and the Operating Partnership also have an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 filed with the SEC for an aggregate amount of $2.5 billion in common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares and guarantees of the General Partner and debt securities of the Operating Partnership, under which no securities have been sold as of May 6, 2020.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Unconsolidated Joint Venture Debt

The debt of the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures generally provides for recourse to the Company for customary matters such

77

as intentional misuse of funds, environmental conditions and material misrepresentations. The Company has agreed to guarantee repayment of a portion of the debt of its unconsolidated joint ventures. Such debt has a total facility amount of $322.2 million of which the Company has agreed to guarantee up to $35 million. As of March 31, 2020, the outstanding balance of such debt totaled $252 million of which $28 million was guaranteed by the Company.

The Company’s off-balance sheet arrangements are further discussed in Note 4: Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures to the Financial Statements.

Contractual Obligations

The following table outlines the timing of payment requirements related to the Company’s debt (principal and interest), PILOT agreements, ground lease agreements and other obligations, as of March 31, 2020:

Funds from Operations 

Funds from operations (“FFO”) (available to common stock and unit holders) is defined as net income (loss) before noncontrolling interests in Operating Partnership, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from depreciable rental property transactions (including both acquisitions and dispositions), and impairments related to depreciable rental property, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization. The Company believes that FFO is helpful to investors as one of several measures of the performance of an equity REIT. The Company further believes that as FFO excludes the effect of depreciation, gains (or losses) from property transactions and impairments related to depreciable rental property (all of which are based on historical costs which may be of limited relevance in evaluating current performance), FFO can facilitate comparison of operating performance between equity REITs.  

FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income available to common shareholders as an indication of the Company’s performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.  FFO presented herein is not necessarily comparable to FFO presented by other real estate companies due to the fact that not all real estate companies use the same definition. However, the Company’s FFO is comparable to the FFO of real estate companies that use the current definition of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). 

78

As the Company considers its primary earnings measure, net income available to common shareholders, as defined by GAAP, to be the most comparable earnings measure to FFO, the following table presents a reconciliation of net income available to common shareholders to FFO, as calculated in accordance with NAREIT’s current definition, for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands):

(a)Includes the Company’s share from unconsolidated joint ventures, and adjustments for noncontrolling interests, of $3,349 and $2,661 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Excludes non-real estate-related depreciation and amortization of $450 and $539 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

(b)Net income available to common shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, included $5,263 and zero, respectively, of land impairment charges and $4,813 and zero, respectively, from gains on disposition of developable land, which are included in the calculation to arrive at funds from operations as such gains and charges relate to non-depreciable assets

Inflation

The Company’s leases with the majority of its commercial tenants provide for recoveries and escalation charges based upon the tenant’s proportionate share of, and/or increases in, real estate taxes and certain operating costs, which reduce the Company’s exposure to increases in operating costs resulting from inflation. The Company believes that inflation did not materially impact the Company’s results of operations and financial condition for the periods presented.

Moreover, investors are cautioned to interpret many of the risks identified in the risk factors discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed on April 24, 2020, as well as the risks set forth below, as being heightened as a result of the ongoing and numerous adverse impacts of COVID-19.

Among the factors about which we have made assumptions are:

risks and uncertainties affecting the general economic climate and conditions, which in turn may have a negative effect on the fundamentals of our business and the financial condition of our tenants and residents;

the value of our real estate assets, which may limit our ability to dispose of assets at attractive prices or obtain or maintain debt financing collateralized by our properties or on an unsecured basis;

the extent of any tenant bankruptcies or of any early lease terminations;

our ability to lease or re-lease space at current or anticipated rents;

changes in the supply of and demand for our properties;

changes in interest rate levels and volatility in the securities markets;

our ability to complete construction and development activities on time and within budget, including without limitation obtaining regulatory permits and the availability and cost of materials, labor and equipment;

forward-looking financial and operational information, including information relating to future development projects, potential acquisitions or dispositions, leasing activities, capitalization rates, and projected revenue and income;

changes in operating costs;

our ability to obtain adequate insurance, including coverage for terrorist acts;

our credit worthiness and the availability of financing on attractive terms or at all, which may adversely impact our ability to pursue acquisition and development opportunities and refinance existing debt and our future interest expense;

changes in governmental regulation, tax rates and similar matters; and

other risks associated with the development and acquisition of properties, including risks that the development may not be completed on schedule, that the tenants or residents will not take occupancy or pay rent, or that development or operating costs may be greater than anticipated.

For further information on factors which could impact us and the statements contained herein, see Item 1A: Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. We assume no obligation to update and supplement forward-looking statements that become untrue because of subsequent events, new information or otherwise.

Item 3.    Quantitative And Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and equity prices. In pursuing its business plan, the primary market risk to which the Company is exposed is interest rate risk. Changes in the general level of interest rates prevailing in the financial markets may affect the spread between the Company’s yield on invested assets and cost of funds and, in turn, its ability to make distributions or payments to its investors.

Approximately $2.3 billion of the Company’s long-term debt as of March 31, 2020 bears interest at fixed rates and therefore the fair value of these instruments is affected by changes in market interest rates. The following table presents principal cash flows (in thousands) based upon maturity dates of the debt obligations and the related weighted-average interest rates by expected maturity dates for the fixed rate debt. The interest rates on the Company’s variable rate debt as of March 31, 2020 ranged from LIBOR plus 184 basis points to LIBOR plus 340 basis points. Assuming interest-rate swaps and caps are not in effect, if market rates of interest on the Company’s variable rate debt increased or decreased by 100 basis points, then the increase or decrease in interest costs on the Company’s variable rate debt would be approximately $5.5 million annually and the increase or decrease in the fair value of the Company’s fixed rate debt as of March 31, 2020 would be approximately $110.3 million.

While the Company has not experienced any significant credit losses, in the event of a significant rising interest rate environment and/or economic downturn, defaults could increase and result in losses to the Company which could adversely affect its operating results and liquidity.

Part II – Other Information

Item 1.      Legal Proceedings

There are no material pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to its business, to which the Company is a party or to which any of its Properties are subject.

Item 1A.   Risk Factors

The risks set out below represent changes to risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. The information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the other factors described in "Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The ongoing coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic and measures intended to prevent its spread present material uncertainty and risk and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

The recent outbreak of COVID-19 across many countries around the globe, including the United States, has significantly slowed global economic activity, caused significant volatility in financial markets, and resulted in unprecedented job losses causing many to fear an imminent global recession. Certain states and cities, including all of the jurisdictions in which our properties are located, have taken measures to prevent or slow the spread of COVID-19, including by instituting quarantines, restrictions on travel, "stay-at-home" rules, restrictions on types of business that may continue to operate and/or restrictions on the types of construction projects that may continue. As a result, the COVID-19 pandemic is negatively impacting almost every industry directly or indirectly, including industries in which we and our customers operate. In addition, we have adapted our operations to protect our employees, including by implementing a work from home policy. As a result, many of our employees are currently working remotely.  An extended period of remote work arrangements could strain our business continuity plans, introduce operational risk, including but not limited to cybersecurity risks, and impair our ability to manage our business.

The COVID-19 pandemic presents material uncertainty and risk with respect to our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and performance. The COVID-19 pandemic could negatively impact our business in a number of ways, including:

a complete or partial closure of, or other operational issues at, one or more of our properties resulting from government or customer action;

deterioration in the financial condition or liquidity of our tenants, customers or other counterparties, which could result in their inability to pay rents or failure to meet their contractual obligations to us;

the potential negative impact on our ability to complete planned acquisitions or dispositions of assets on expected terms or timelines, or at all;

reduced demand for space at our office properties and units at our multifamily residential properties, which could have a negative impact on our prospects for leasing current or additional space and/or renewing leases with existing tenants;

difficulty accessing debt and equity capital on attractive terms, or at all, which could result in reduced availability and increased cost of capital necessary to fund business operations, finance our development pipeline or address maturing liabilities on a timely basis;

costs associated with construction delays and cost overruns at our development and redevelopment projects;

unanticipated costs and operating expenses associated with remote work arrangements, sanitation measures performed at each of our properties, and other measures to protect the welfare of our employees and tenants; and

83

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

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may adversely affect our business will depend on future developments, including, among others, the severity and duration of the pandemic, the nature and duration of measures taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, and the direct and indirect economic impact of the pandemic and containment measures on the industries in which we and our customers operate. The uncertainty of many of these factors and the rapid development and fluidity of the situation precludes any prediction as to the full adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Moreover, many risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K should be interpreted as heightened risks as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

2.    SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Rental Property

Rental properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Costs directly related to the acquisition, development and construction of rental properties are capitalized. The Company adopted FASB guidance Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-01 on January 1, 2017, which revises the definition of a business and is expected to result in more transactions to be accounted for as asset acquisitions and significantly limit transactions that would be accounted for as business combinations. Where an acquisition has been determined to be an asset acquisition, acquisition-related costs are capitalized. Capitalized development and construction costs include pre-construction costs essential to the development of the property, development and construction costs, interest, property taxes, insurance, salaries and other project costs incurred during the period of development. Capitalized development and construction salaries and related costs approximated $0.5 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred; major replacements and betterments, which improve or extend the life of the asset, are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Fully-depreciated assets are removed from the accounts.  

Included in net investment in rental property as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 is real estate and building and tenant improvements not in service, as follows (dollars in thousands):

		March 31,		December 31,
		2020		2019
Land held for development (including pre-development costs, if any) (a)(c)	$	385,682	$	388,702
Development and construction in progress, including land (b)(d)		529,651		464,110
Total	$	915,333	$	852,812

(a)Includes predevelopment and infrastructure costs included in buildings and improvements of $166.6 million and $156.5 million as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

(b)Includes land of $85.5 million and $96.6 million as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

(c)Includes $46.3 million of land and $39.5 million of building and improvements pertaining to assets held for sale at March 31, 2020.

(d)Includes $0.5 million of land and $5.6 million of building and improvements pertaining to assets held for sale.

The Company considers a construction project as substantially completed and held available for occupancy upon the substantial completion of improvements, but no later than one year from cessation of major construction activity (as distinguished from activities such as routine maintenance and cleanup). If portions of a rental project are substantially completed and occupied by tenants or residents, or held available for occupancy, and other portions have not yet reached that stage, the substantially completed portions are accounted for as a separate project. The Company allocates costs incurred between the portions under construction and the portions substantially completed and held available for occupancy, primarily based on a percentage of the relative commercial square footage or multi-family units of each portion, and capitalizes only those costs associated with the portion under construction.

Properties are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives are as follows:

Leasehold interests	Remaining lease term
Buildings and improvements	5 to 40 years
Tenant improvements	The shorter of the term of the
	related lease or useful life
Furniture, fixtures and equipment	5 to 10 years

Upon acquisition of rental property, the Company estimates the fair value of acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, building and improvements, and identified intangible assets and liabilities assumed, generally consisting of the fair value of (i) above and below-market leases, (ii) in-place leases and (iii) tenant relationships. For asset acquisitions, the Company allocates the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values. The Company records goodwill or a gain on bargain purchase (if any) if the net assets acquired/liabilities assumed differ from the purchase consideration of a business combination transaction.

In estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired, the Company considers information obtained about each property as a result of its due diligence and marketing and leasing activities, and utilizes various valuation methods, such as estimated cash flow projections utilizing appropriate discount and capitalization rates, estimates of replacement costs net of depreciation, and available market information. The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property considers the value of the property as if it were vacant.

Above-market and below-market lease values for acquired properties are initially recorded based on the present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for each corresponding in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above-market leases and the remaining initial term plus the term of any below-market fixed rate renewal options for below-market leases. The capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of base rental revenue over the remaining terms of the respective leases, and the capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to base rental revenue over the remaining initial terms plus the terms of any below-market fixed rate renewal options of the respective leases.

Other intangible assets acquired include amounts for in-place lease values and tenant relationship values, which are based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and the Company’s overall relationship with the respective tenant. Factors to be considered by management in its analysis of in-place lease values include an estimate of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions, and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, management includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up periods, depending on local market conditions. In estimating costs to execute similar leases, management considers leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses. Characteristics considered by management in valuing tenant relationships include the nature and extent of the Company’s existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenant’s credit quality and expectations of lease renewals. The values of in-place leases are amortized to expense over the remaining initial terms of the respective leases. The values of tenant relationship intangibles are amortized to expense over the anticipated life of the relationships or leases.

On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of the Company’s rental properties held for use may be impaired. In addition to identifying any specific circumstances which may affect a property or properties, management considers other criteria for determining which properties may require assessment for potential impairment. The criteria considered by management, depending on the type of property, may include reviewing low leased percentages, significant near-term lease expirations, current and historical operating and/or cash flow losses, construction cost overruns and/or other factors, including those that might impact the Company’s intent and ability to hold the property. A property’s value is impaired only if management’s estimate of the aggregate future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) to be generated by the property over its estimated holding period is less than the carrying value of the property. If there are different possible scenarios for a property, the Company will take a probability-weighted approach to estimating future cash flow scenarios. To the extent impairment has occurred, the impairment loss is measured as the excess of the carrying value of the property over the fair value of the property. The Company’s estimates of aggregate future cash flows expected to be generated and estimated fair values for each property are based on a number of assumptions, including but not limited to estimated holding periods, market capitalization rates and discount rates, if applicable. For developable land holdings, an estimated per-unit market value assumption is also considered based on development rights for the land. These assumptions are generally based on management’s experience in its local real estate markets and the effects of current market conditions. The assumptions are subject to economic and market uncertainties including, among others, demand for space, competition for tenants, changes in market rental rates, and costs to operate each property. As these factors are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter management’s assumptions, the future cash flows estimated by management in its impairment analyses may not be

achieved, and actual losses or impairments may be realized in the future.

Real Estate Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations

When assets are identified by management as held for sale, the Company discontinues depreciating the assets and estimates the sales price, net of selling costs, of such assets. The Company generally considers assets (as identified by their disposal groups) to be held for sale when the transaction has received appropriate corporate authority, it is probable to be sold within the following 12 months, and there are no significant contingencies relating to a sale. If, in management’s opinion, the estimated net sales price, net of selling costs, of the disposal groups which have been identified as held for sale is less than the carrying value of the assets, a valuation allowance (which is recorded as unrealized losses on disposition of rental property) is established. In the absence of an executed sales agreement with a set sales price, management’s estimate of the net sales price may be based on a number of assumptions, including but not limited to the Company’s estimates of future and stabilized cash flows, market capitalization rates and discount rates, if applicable. For developable land, an estimated per-unit market value assumption is also considered based on development rights for the land. In addition, the Company classifies assets held for sale or sold as discontinued operations if the disposal groups represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. For any disposals qualifying as discontinued operations, the assets and their results are presented in discontinued operations in the financial statements for all periods presented. See Note 7: Discontinued Operations.

If circumstances arise that previously were considered unlikely and, as a result, the Company decides not to sell an asset previously classified as held for sale, the asset is reclassified as held and used. An asset that is reclassified is measured and recorded individually at the lower of (a) its carrying value before the asset was classified as held for sale, adjusted for any depreciation (amortization) expense that would have been recognized had the asset been continuously classified as held and used, or (b) the fair value at the date of the subsequent decision not to sell. 

Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures 

The Company accounts for its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures under the equity method of accounting. The Company applies the equity method by initially recording these investments at cost, as Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures, subsequently adjusted for equity in earnings and cash contributions and distributions. The outside basis portion of the Company’s joint ventures is amortized over the anticipated useful lives of the underlying ventures’ tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Generally, the Company would discontinue applying the equity method when the investment (and any advances) is reduced to zero and would not provide for additional losses unless the Company has guaranteed obligations of the venture or is otherwise committed to providing further financial support for the investee. If the venture subsequently generates income, the Company only recognizes its share of such income to the extent it exceeds its share of previously unrecognized losses.

If the venture subsequently makes distributions and the Company does not have an implied or actual commitment to support the operations of the venture, the Company will not record a basis less than zero, rather such amounts will be recorded as equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures. 

On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of the Company’s investments in unconsolidated joint ventures may be impaired. An investment is impaired only if management’s estimate of the value of the investment is less than the carrying value of the investment, and such decline in value is deemed to be other than temporary. To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss shall be measured as the excess of the carrying value of the investment over the value of the investment. The Company’s estimates of value for each investment (particularly in real estate joint ventures) are based on a number of assumptions including but not limited to estimates of future and stabilized cash flows, market capitalization rates and discount rates, if applicable. These assumptions are based on management's experience in its local real estate markets and the effects of current market conditions. The assumptions are subject to economic and market uncertainties including, among others, demand for space, competition for tenants, changes in market rental rates, and operating costs. As these factors are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter management’s assumptions, the values estimated by management in its impairment analyses may not be realized, and actual losses or impairment may be realized in the future. See Note 4: Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures. 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

All highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased are considered to be cash equivalents. 

Deferred Financing Costs

Costs incurred in obtaining financing are capitalized and amortized over the term of the related indebtedness. Deferred financing costs are presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the debt liability to which they relate, except deferred financing costs related to the revolving credit facility, which are presented in deferred charges, goodwill and other assets. In all cases,

amortization of such costs is included in interest expense and was $1,024,000 and $1,189,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. If a financing obligation is extinguished early, any unamortized deferred financing costs are written off and included in gains (losses) from extinguishment of debt.

Deferred Leasing Costs/Leasing Personnel Costs

Costs incurred in connection with successfully executed commercial and residential leases were capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases and included in depreciation and amortization. Unamortized deferred leasing costs were charged to amortization expense upon early termination of the lease. Certain employees of the Company are compensated for providing leasing services to the Properties. Upon the adoption of ASC 842 on January 1, 2019, the Company no longer capitalizes such costs, and includes such leasing personnel costs in General and administrative expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations, which amounted to $1,038,000 and $742,000 for the three months ended and March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is allocated to various reporting units, as applicable. Each of the Company’s segments consists of a reporting unit. Goodwill is not amortized. Management performs an annual impairment test for goodwill during the fourth quarter and between annual tests, management evaluates the recoverability of goodwill whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of goodwill may not be fully recoverable. In its impairment tests of goodwill, management first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If, based on this assessment, management determines that the fair value of the reporting unit is not less than its carrying value, then performing the additional two-step impairment test is unnecessary. If the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is recognized.

Derivative Instruments

The Company measures derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, at fair value and records them as an asset or liability, depending on the Company’s rights or obligations under the applicable derivative contract. For derivatives designated and qualifying as fair value hedges, the changes in the fair value of both the derivative instrument and the hedged item are recorded in earnings. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portions of the derivative are reported in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and are subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged item affects earnings. Changes in fair value of derivative instruments not designated as hedging and ineffective portions of hedges are recognized in earnings in the affected period.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from leases includes fixed base rents under leases, which are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases. Unbilled rents receivable represents the cumulative amount by which straight-line rental revenue exceeds rents currently billed in accordance with the lease agreements.

Above-market and below-market lease values for acquired properties are initially recorded based on the present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for each corresponding in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above-market leases and the remaining initial term plus the term of any below-market fixed-rate renewal options for below-market leases. The capitalized above-market lease values for acquired properties are amortized as a reduction of revenue from leases over the remaining terms of the respective leases, and the capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to revenue from leases over the remaining initial terms plus the terms of any below-market fixed-rate renewal options of the respective leases.

The Company elected a practical expedient for its rental properties (as lessor) to avoid separating non-lease components that otherwise would need to be accounted for under the recently-adopted revenue accounting guidance (such as tenant reimbursements of property operating expenses) from the associated lease component since (1) the non-lease components have the same timing and pattern of transfer as the associated lease component and (2) the lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease; this enables the Company to account for the combination of the lease component and non-lease components as an operating lease since the lease component is the predominant component of the combined components.   

Due to the Company’s adoption of the practical expedient discussed above to not separate non-lease component revenue from the associated lease component, the Company is aggregating revenue from its lease components and non-lease components (comprised predominantly of tenant operating expense reimbursements) into the line entitled “Revenue from leases.” 

Revenue from leases also includes reimbursements and recoveries from tenants received from tenants for certain costs as provided in the lease agreements. These costs generally include real estate taxes, utilities, insurance, common area maintenance and other recoverable costs. See Note 14: Tenant Leases.

Real estate services revenue includes property management, development, construction and leasing commission fees and other services, and payroll and related costs reimbursed from clients. Fee income derived from the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures (which are capitalized by such ventures) are recognized to the extent attributable to the unaffiliated ownership interests.

Parking income includes income from parking spaces leased to tenants and others.

Hotel income includes all revenue earned from hotel properties.

Other income includes income from tenants for additional services arranged for by the Company and income from tenants for early lease terminations.

All bad debt expense is being recorded as a reduction of the corresponding revenue account starting on January 1, 2019. Management performs a detailed review of amounts due from tenants for collectability based on factors affecting the billings and status of individual tenants. The factors considered by management in determining which individual tenant’s revenues are affected include the age of the receivable, the tenant’s payment history, the nature of the charges, any communications regarding the charges and other related information. Management’s estimate of bad debt write-off’s requires management to exercise judgment about the timing, frequency and severity of collection losses, which affects the revenue recorded. 

Income and Other Taxes

The General Partner has elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “IRS Code”). As a REIT, the General Partner generally will not be subject to corporate federal income tax on net income that it currently distributes to its shareholders, provided that the General Partner satisfies certain organizational and operational requirements including the requirement to distribute at least 90 percent of its REIT taxable income (determined by excluding any net capital gains) to its shareholders. If and to the extent the General Partner retains and does not distribute any net capital gains, the General Partner will be required to pay federal, state and local taxes, as applicable, on such net capital gains at the rate applicable to capital gains of a corporation.

The Operating Partnership is a partnership, and, as a result, all income and losses of the partnership are allocated to the partners for inclusion in their respective tax returns. Accordingly, no provision or benefit for income taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements.

The General Partner has elected to treat certain of its corporate subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries (each a “TRS”). In general, a TRS of the General Partner may perform additional services for tenants of the Company and generally may engage in any real estate or non-real estate related business (except for the operation or management of health care facilities or lodging facilities or the providing to any person, under a franchise, license or otherwise, rights to any brand name under which any lodging facility or health care facility is operated). A TRS is subject to corporate federal income tax. The General Partner has conducted business through its TRS entities for certain property management, development, construction and other related services, as well as to hold a joint venture interest in a hotel and other matters.

The deferred tax asset balance at March 31, 2020 amounted to $10.1 million which has been fully reserved through a valuation allowance. New tax reform legislation enacted in late 2017 reduced the corporate tax rate to 21 percent, effective January 1, 2018.  Consequently, the Company’s deferred tax assets were re-measured to reflect the reduction in the future U.S. corporate income tax rate as of the enactment date. As a result, the Company recorded a decrease related to its deferred tax assets of $5.3 million and a decrease to the associated valuation allowance of $5.3 million at December 31, 2017. If the General Partner fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates. The Company is subject to certain state and local taxes.

Pursuant to the amended provisions related to uncertain tax provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes, the Company recognized no material adjustments regarding its tax accounting treatment. The Company expects to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, as income tax expense, which is included in general and administrative expense.

In the normal course of business, the Company or one of its subsidiaries is subject to examination by federal, state and local jurisdictions in which it operates, where applicable. As of March 31, 2020, the tax years that remain subject to examination by the major tax jurisdictions under the statute of limitations are generally from the year 2015 forward.

Earnings Per Share or Unit 

The Company presents both basic and diluted earnings per share or unit (“EPS or EPU”). Basic EPS or EPU excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders or unitholders by the weighted average number of shares or units outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS or EPU reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock, where such exercise or conversion would result in a lower EPS or EPU from continuing operations amount. Shares or units whose issuance is contingent upon the satisfaction of certain conditions shall be considered outstanding and included in the computation of diluted EPS or EPU as follows (i) if all necessary conditions have been satisfied by the end of the period (the events have occurred), those shares or units shall be included as of the beginning of the period in which the conditions were satisfied (or as of the date of the grant, if later) or (ii) if all necessary conditions have not been satisfied by the end of the period, the number of contingently issuable shares or units included in diluted EPS or EPU shall be based on the number of shares or units, if any, that would be issuable if the end of the reporting period were the end of the contingency period (for example, the number of shares or units that would be issuable based on current period earnings or period-end market price) and if the result would be dilutive. Those contingently issuable shares or units shall be included in the denominator of diluted EPS or EPU as of the beginning of the period (or as of the date of the grant, if later).

Dividends and Distributions Payable

The dividends and distributions payable at March 31, 2020 represents dividends payable to common shareholders (90,596,168 shares) and distributions payable to noncontrolling interests unitholders of the Operating Partnership (9,394,754 common units and 3,218,208 vested and unvested LTIP units), for all such holders of record as of April 2, 2020 with respect to the first quarter 2020. The first quarter 2020 common stock dividends and unit distributions of $0.20 per common share (total of $18.1 million), common unit (total of $1.9 million) and LTIP unit (total of $0.4 million) were approved by the General Partner’s Board of Directors on March 23, 2020 and paid on April 14, 2020.

The dividends and distributions payable at December 31, 2019 represents dividends payable to common shareholders (90,595,197 shares) and distributions payable to noncontrolling interests unitholders of the Operating Partnership (9,488,794 common units and 1,949,601 vested and unvested LTIP units) for all such holders of record as of January 3, 2020 with respect to the fourth quarter 2019. The fourth quarter 2019 common stock dividends and unit distributions of $0.20 per common share (total of $18.1 million), common unit (total of $1.9 million) and LTIP unit (total of $0.4 million) were approved by the General Partner’s Board of Directors on December 17, 2019 and paid on January 10, 2020.

Costs Incurred For Stock Issuances

Costs incurred in connection with the Company’s stock issuances are reflected as a reduction of additional paid-in capital.

Stock Compensation

The Company accounts for stock compensation in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. These provisions require that the estimated fair value of restricted stock (“Restricted Stock Awards”), performance share units, long-term incentive plan awards and stock options at the grant date be amortized ratably into expense over the appropriate vesting period. The Company recorded stock compensation expense of $2,530,000 and $1,880,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Other comprehensive income (loss) includes items that are recorded in equity, such as effective portions of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges or unrealized holding gains or losses on marketable securities available for sale.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

The Company evaluates the terms of the partnership units issued in accordance with the FASB’s Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity guidance. Units which embody an unconditional obligation requiring the Company to redeem the units for cash after a specified or determinable date (or dates) or upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within the control of the issuer are determined to be contingently redeemable under this guidance and are included as Redeemable noncontrolling interests and classified within the mezzanine section between Total liabilities and Stockholders’ equity on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The carrying amount of the redeemable noncontrolling interests will be changed by periodic accretions, so that the carrying amount will equal the estimated future redemption value at the redemption date.

Fair Value Hierarchy

The standard Fair Value Measurements specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based upon whether the inputs to those valuation techniques reflect assumptions other market participants would use based upon market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs). The following summarizes the fair value hierarchy:

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets that are unadjusted and accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

Level 2: Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are inactive, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals and

Level 3: Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

Impact of Recently-Issued Accounting Standards

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (“ASU 2016-13”). The guidance introduces a new model for estimating credit losses for certain types of financial instruments, including trade and lease receivables, loans receivable, held-to-maturity debt securities, and net investments in direct financing leases, amongst other financial instruments. ASU 2016-13 also modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities and expands the disclosure requirements regarding an entity’s assumptions, models, and methods for estimating the allowance for losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging: Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities (“ASU 2017-12”). The purpose of ASU 2017-12 is to better align a company’s financial reporting for hedging activities with the economic objectives of those activities. The Company has adopted ASU 2017-12 on January 1, 2019. ASU 2017-12 requires a modified retrospective transition method which requires a cumulative effect of the change on the opening balance of each affected component of equity in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of the date of adoption. Upon adoption the Company recorded a cumulative adjustment specifically related to the elimination of the requirement for separate measurement of hedge ineffectiveness. As a result, the Company recorded an opening balance adjustment as of January 1, 2019 to dividends in excess of net earnings of $0.4 million with a corresponding change to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

2.    SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Rental Property

Rental properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Costs directly related to the acquisition, development and construction of rental properties are capitalized. The Company adopted FASB guidance Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-01 on January 1, 2017, which revises the definition of a business and is expected to result in more transactions to be accounted for as asset acquisitions and significantly limit transactions that would be accounted for as business combinations. Where an acquisition has been determined to be an asset acquisition, acquisition-related costs are capitalized. Capitalized development and construction costs include pre-construction costs essential to the development of the property, development and construction costs, interest, property taxes, insurance, salaries and other project costs incurred during the period of development. Capitalized development and construction salaries and related costs approximated $0.5 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred; major replacements and betterments, which improve or extend the life of the asset, are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Fully-depreciated assets are removed from the accounts.  

Included in net investment in rental property as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 is real estate and building and tenant improvements not in service, as follows (dollars in thousands):

		March 31,		December 31,
		2020		2019
Land held for development (including pre-development costs, if any) (a)(c)	$	385,682	$	388,702
Development and construction in progress, including land (b)(d)		529,651		464,110
Total	$	915,333	$	852,812

(a)Includes predevelopment and infrastructure costs included in buildings and improvements of $166.6 million and $156.5 million as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

(b)Includes land of $85.5 million and $96.6 million as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

(c)Includes $46.3 million of land and $39.5 million of building and improvements pertaining to assets held for sale at March 31, 2020.

(d)Includes $0.5 million of land and $5.6 million of building and improvements pertaining to assets held for sale.

The Company considers a construction project as substantially completed and held available for occupancy upon the substantial completion of improvements, but no later than one year from cessation of major construction activity (as distinguished from activities such as routine maintenance and cleanup). If portions of a rental project are substantially completed and occupied by tenants or residents, or held available for occupancy, and other portions have not yet reached that stage, the substantially completed portions are accounted for as a separate project. The Company allocates costs incurred between the portions under construction and the portions substantially completed and held available for occupancy, primarily based on a percentage of the relative commercial square footage or multi-family units of each portion, and capitalizes only those costs associated with the portion under construction.

Properties are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives are as follows:

Leasehold interests	Remaining lease term
Buildings and improvements	5 to 40 years
Tenant improvements	The shorter of the term of the
	related lease or useful life
Furniture, fixtures and equipment	5 to 10 years

Upon acquisition of rental property, the Company estimates the fair value of acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, building and improvements, and identified intangible assets and liabilities assumed, generally consisting of the fair value of (i) above and below-market leases, (ii) in-place leases and (iii) tenant relationships. For asset acquisitions, the Company allocates the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values. The Company records goodwill or a gain on bargain purchase (if any) if the net assets acquired/liabilities assumed differ from the purchase consideration of a business combination transaction.

In estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired, the Company considers information obtained about each property as a result of its due diligence and marketing and leasing activities, and utilizes various valuation methods, such as estimated cash flow projections utilizing appropriate discount and capitalization rates, estimates of replacement costs net of depreciation, and available market information. The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property considers the value of the property as if it were vacant.

Above-market and below-market lease values for acquired properties are initially recorded based on the present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for each corresponding in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above-market leases and the remaining initial term plus the term of any below-market fixed rate renewal options for below-market leases. The capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of base rental revenue over the remaining terms of the respective leases, and the capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to base rental revenue over the remaining initial terms plus the terms of any below-market fixed rate renewal options of the respective leases.

Other intangible assets acquired include amounts for in-place lease values and tenant relationship values, which are based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and the Company’s overall relationship with the respective tenant. Factors to be considered by management in its analysis of in-place lease values include an estimate of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions, and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, management includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up periods, depending on local market conditions. In estimating costs to execute similar leases, management considers leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses. Characteristics considered by management in valuing tenant relationships include the nature and extent of the Company’s existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenant’s credit quality and expectations of lease renewals. The values of in-place leases are amortized to expense over the remaining initial terms of the respective leases. The values of tenant relationship intangibles are amortized to expense over the anticipated life of the relationships or leases.

On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of the Company’s rental properties held for use may be impaired. In addition to identifying any specific circumstances which may affect a property or properties, management considers other criteria for determining which properties may require assessment for potential impairment. The criteria considered by management, depending on the type of property, may include reviewing low leased percentages, significant near-term lease expirations, current and historical operating and/or cash flow losses, construction cost overruns and/or other factors, including those that might impact the Company’s intent and ability to hold the property. A property’s value is impaired only if management’s estimate of the aggregate future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) to be generated by the property over its estimated holding period is less than the carrying value of the property. If there are different possible scenarios for a property, the Company will take a probability-weighted approach to estimating future cash flow scenarios. To the extent impairment has occurred, the impairment loss is measured as the excess of the carrying value of the property over the fair value of the property. The Company’s estimates of aggregate future cash flows expected to be generated and estimated fair values for each property are based on a number of assumptions, including but not limited to estimated holding periods, market capitalization rates and discount rates, if applicable. For developable land holdings, an estimated per-unit market value assumption is also considered based on development rights for the land. These assumptions are generally based on management’s experience in its local real estate markets and the effects of current market conditions. The assumptions are subject to economic and market uncertainties including, among others, demand for space, competition for tenants, changes in market rental rates, and costs to operate each property. As these factors are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter management’s assumptions, the future cash flows estimated by management in its impairment analyses may not be

achieved, and actual losses or impairments may be realized in the future.

Real Estate Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations

When assets are identified by management as held for sale, the Company discontinues depreciating the assets and estimates the sales price, net of selling costs, of such assets. The Company generally considers assets (as identified by their disposal groups) to be held for sale when the transaction has received appropriate corporate authority, it is probable to be sold within the following 12 months, and there are no significant contingencies relating to a sale. If, in management’s opinion, the estimated net sales price, net of selling costs, of the disposal groups which have been identified as held for sale is less than the carrying value of the assets, a valuation allowance (which is recorded as unrealized losses on disposition of rental property) is established. In the absence of an executed sales agreement with a set sales price, management’s estimate of the net sales price may be based on a number of assumptions, including but not limited to the Company’s estimates of future and stabilized cash flows, market capitalization rates and discount rates, if applicable. For developable land, an estimated per-unit market value assumption is also considered based on development rights for the land. In addition, the Company classifies assets held for sale or sold as discontinued operations if the disposal groups represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. For any disposals qualifying as discontinued operations, the assets and their results are presented in discontinued operations in the financial statements for all periods presented. See Note 7: Discontinued Operations.

If circumstances arise that previously were considered unlikely and, as a result, the Company decides not to sell an asset previously classified as held for sale, the asset is reclassified as held and used. An asset that is reclassified is measured and recorded individually at the lower of (a) its carrying value before the asset was classified as held for sale, adjusted for any depreciation (amortization) expense that would have been recognized had the asset been continuously classified as held and used, or (b) the fair value at the date of the subsequent decision not to sell. 

Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures 

The Company accounts for its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures under the equity method of accounting. The Company applies the equity method by initially recording these investments at cost, as Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures, subsequently adjusted for equity in earnings and cash contributions and distributions. The outside basis portion of the Company’s joint ventures is amortized over the anticipated useful lives of the underlying ventures’ tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Generally, the Company would discontinue applying the equity method when the investment (and any advances) is reduced to zero and would not provide for additional losses unless the Company has guaranteed obligations of the venture or is otherwise committed to providing further financial support for the investee. If the venture subsequently generates income, the Company only recognizes its share of such income to the extent it exceeds its share of previously unrecognized losses.

If the venture subsequently makes distributions and the Company does not have an implied or actual commitment to support the operations of the venture, the Company will not record a basis less than zero, rather such amounts will be recorded as equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures. 

On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of the Company’s investments in unconsolidated joint ventures may be impaired. An investment is impaired only if management’s estimate of the value of the investment is less than the carrying value of the investment, and such decline in value is deemed to be other than temporary. To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss shall be measured as the excess of the carrying value of the investment over the value of the investment. The Company’s estimates of value for each investment (particularly in real estate joint ventures) are based on a number of assumptions including but not limited to estimates of future and stabilized cash flows, market capitalization rates and discount rates, if applicable. These assumptions are based on management's experience in its local real estate markets and the effects of current market conditions. The assumptions are subject to economic and market uncertainties including, among others, demand for space, competition for tenants, changes in market rental rates, and operating costs. As these factors are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter management’s assumptions, the values estimated by management in its impairment analyses may not be realized, and actual losses or impairment may be realized in the future. See Note 4: Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures. 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

All highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased are considered to be cash equivalents. 

Deferred Financing Costs

Costs incurred in obtaining financing are capitalized and amortized over the term of the related indebtedness. Deferred financing costs are presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the debt liability to which they relate, except deferred financing costs related to the revolving credit facility, which are presented in deferred charges, goodwill and other assets. In all cases,

amortization of such costs is included in interest expense and was $1,024,000 and $1,189,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. If a financing obligation is extinguished early, any unamortized deferred financing costs are written off and included in gains (losses) from extinguishment of debt.

Deferred Leasing Costs/Leasing Personnel Costs

Costs incurred in connection with successfully executed commercial and residential leases were capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases and included in depreciation and amortization. Unamortized deferred leasing costs were charged to amortization expense upon early termination of the lease. Certain employees of the Company are compensated for providing leasing services to the Properties. Upon the adoption of ASC 842 on January 1, 2019, the Company no longer capitalizes such costs, and includes such leasing personnel costs in General and administrative expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations, which amounted to $1,038,000 and $742,000 for the three months ended and March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is allocated to various reporting units, as applicable. Each of the Company’s segments consists of a reporting unit. Goodwill is not amortized. Management performs an annual impairment test for goodwill during the fourth quarter and between annual tests, management evaluates the recoverability of goodwill whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of goodwill may not be fully recoverable. In its impairment tests of goodwill, management first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If, based on this assessment, management determines that the fair value of the reporting unit is not less than its carrying value, then performing the additional two-step impairment test is unnecessary. If the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is recognized.

Derivative Instruments

The Company measures derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, at fair value and records them as an asset or liability, depending on the Company’s rights or obligations under the applicable derivative contract. For derivatives designated and qualifying as fair value hedges, the changes in the fair value of both the derivative instrument and the hedged item are recorded in earnings. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portions of the derivative are reported in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and are subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged item affects earnings. Changes in fair value of derivative instruments not designated as hedging and ineffective portions of hedges are recognized in earnings in the affected period.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from leases includes fixed base rents under leases, which are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases. Unbilled rents receivable represents the cumulative amount by which straight-line rental revenue exceeds rents currently billed in accordance with the lease agreements.

Above-market and below-market lease values for acquired properties are initially recorded based on the present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for each corresponding in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above-market leases and the remaining initial term plus the term of any below-market fixed-rate renewal options for below-market leases. The capitalized above-market lease values for acquired properties are amortized as a reduction of revenue from leases over the remaining terms of the respective leases, and the capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to revenue from leases over the remaining initial terms plus the terms of any below-market fixed-rate renewal options of the respective leases.

The Company elected a practical expedient for its rental properties (as lessor) to avoid separating non-lease components that otherwise would need to be accounted for under the recently-adopted revenue accounting guidance (such as tenant reimbursements of property operating expenses) from the associated lease component since (1) the non-lease components have the same timing and pattern of transfer as the associated lease component and (2) the lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease; this enables the Company to account for the combination of the lease component and non-lease components as an operating lease since the lease component is the predominant component of the combined components.   

Due to the Company’s adoption of the practical expedient discussed above to not separate non-lease component revenue from the associated lease component, the Company is aggregating revenue from its lease components and non-lease components (comprised predominantly of tenant operating expense reimbursements) into the line entitled “Revenue from leases.” 

Revenue from leases also includes reimbursements and recoveries from tenants received from tenants for certain costs as provided in the lease agreements. These costs generally include real estate taxes, utilities, insurance, common area maintenance and other recoverable costs. See Note 14: Tenant Leases.

Real estate services revenue includes property management, development, construction and leasing commission fees and other services, and payroll and related costs reimbursed from clients. Fee income derived from the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures (which are capitalized by such ventures) are recognized to the extent attributable to the unaffiliated ownership interests.

Parking income includes income from parking spaces leased to tenants and others.

Hotel income includes all revenue earned from hotel properties.

Other income includes income from tenants for additional services arranged for by the Company and income from tenants for early lease terminations.

All bad debt expense is being recorded as a reduction of the corresponding revenue account starting on January 1, 2019. Management performs a detailed review of amounts due from tenants for collectability based on factors affecting the billings and status of individual tenants. The factors considered by management in determining which individual tenant’s revenues are affected include the age of the receivable, the tenant’s payment history, the nature of the charges, any communications regarding the charges and other related information. Management’s estimate of bad debt write-off’s requires management to exercise judgment about the timing, frequency and severity of collection losses, which affects the revenue recorded. 

Income and Other Taxes

The General Partner has elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “IRS Code”). As a REIT, the General Partner generally will not be subject to corporate federal income tax on net income that it currently distributes to its shareholders, provided that the General Partner satisfies certain organizational and operational requirements including the requirement to distribute at least 90 percent of its REIT taxable income (determined by excluding any net capital gains) to its shareholders. If and to the extent the General Partner retains and does not distribute any net capital gains, the General Partner will be required to pay federal, state and local taxes, as applicable, on such net capital gains at the rate applicable to capital gains of a corporation.

The Operating Partnership is a partnership, and, as a result, all income and losses of the partnership are allocated to the partners for inclusion in their respective tax returns. Accordingly, no provision or benefit for income taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements.

The General Partner has elected to treat certain of its corporate subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries (each a “TRS”). In general, a TRS of the General Partner may perform additional services for tenants of the Company and generally may engage in any real estate or non-real estate related business (except for the operation or management of health care facilities or lodging facilities or the providing to any person, under a franchise, license or otherwise, rights to any brand name under which any lodging facility or health care facility is operated). A TRS is subject to corporate federal income tax. The General Partner has conducted business through its TRS entities for certain property management, development, construction and other related services, as well as to hold a joint venture interest in a hotel and other matters.

The deferred tax asset balance at March 31, 2020 amounted to $10.1 million which has been fully reserved through a valuation allowance. New tax reform legislation enacted in late 2017 reduced the corporate tax rate to 21 percent, effective January 1, 2018.  Consequently, the Company’s deferred tax assets were re-measured to reflect the reduction in the future U.S. corporate income tax rate as of the enactment date. As a result, the Company recorded a decrease related to its deferred tax assets of $5.3 million and a decrease to the associated valuation allowance of $5.3 million at December 31, 2017. If the General Partner fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates. The Company is subject to certain state and local taxes.

Pursuant to the amended provisions related to uncertain tax provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes, the Company recognized no material adjustments regarding its tax accounting treatment. The Company expects to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, as income tax expense, which is included in general and administrative expense.

In the normal course of business, the Company or one of its subsidiaries is subject to examination by federal, state and local jurisdictions in which it operates, where applicable. As of March 31, 2020, the tax years that remain subject to examination by the major tax jurisdictions under the statute of limitations are generally from the year 2015 forward.

Earnings Per Share or Unit 

The Company presents both basic and diluted earnings per share or unit (“EPS or EPU”). Basic EPS or EPU excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders or unitholders by the weighted average number of shares or units outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS or EPU reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock, where such exercise or conversion would result in a lower EPS or EPU from continuing operations amount. Shares or units whose issuance is contingent upon the satisfaction of certain conditions shall be considered outstanding and included in the computation of diluted EPS or EPU as follows (i) if all necessary conditions have been satisfied by the end of the period (the events have occurred), those shares or units shall be included as of the beginning of the period in which the conditions were satisfied (or as of the date of the grant, if later) or (ii) if all necessary conditions have not been satisfied by the end of the period, the number of contingently issuable shares or units included in diluted EPS or EPU shall be based on the number of shares or units, if any, that would be issuable if the end of the reporting period were the end of the contingency period (for example, the number of shares or units that would be issuable based on current period earnings or period-end market price) and if the result would be dilutive. Those contingently issuable shares or units shall be included in the denominator of diluted EPS or EPU as of the beginning of the period (or as of the date of the grant, if later).

Dividends and Distributions Payable

The dividends and distributions payable at March 31, 2020 represents dividends payable to common shareholders (90,596,168 shares) and distributions payable to noncontrolling interests unitholders of the Operating Partnership (9,394,754 common units and 3,218,208 vested and unvested LTIP units), for all such holders of record as of April 2, 2020 with respect to the first quarter 2020. The first quarter 2020 common stock dividends and unit distributions of $0.20 per common share (total of $18.1 million), common unit (total of $1.9 million) and LTIP unit (total of $0.4 million) were approved by the General Partner’s Board of Directors on March 23, 2020 and paid on April 14, 2020.

The dividends and distributions payable at December 31, 2019 represents dividends payable to common shareholders (90,595,197 shares) and distributions payable to noncontrolling interests unitholders of the Operating Partnership (9,488,794 common units and 1,949,601 vested and unvested LTIP units) for all such holders of record as of January 3, 2020 with respect to the fourth quarter 2019. The fourth quarter 2019 common stock dividends and unit distributions of $0.20 per common share (total of $18.1 million), common unit (total of $1.9 million) and LTIP unit (total of $0.4 million) were approved by the General Partner’s Board of Directors on December 17, 2019 and paid on January 10, 2020.

Costs Incurred For Stock Issuances

Costs incurred in connection with the Company’s stock issuances are reflected as a reduction of additional paid-in capital.

Stock Compensation

The Company accounts for stock compensation in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. These provisions require that the estimated fair value of restricted stock (“Restricted Stock Awards”), performance share units, long-term incentive plan awards and stock options at the grant date be amortized ratably into expense over the appropriate vesting period. The Company recorded stock compensation expense of $2,530,000 and $1,880,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Other comprehensive income (loss) includes items that are recorded in equity, such as effective portions of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges or unrealized holding gains or losses on marketable securities available for sale.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

The Company evaluates the terms of the partnership units issued in accordance with the FASB’s Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity guidance. Units which embody an unconditional obligation requiring the Company to redeem the units for cash after a specified or determinable date (or dates) or upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within the control of the issuer are determined to be contingently redeemable under this guidance and are included as Redeemable noncontrolling interests and classified within the mezzanine section between Total liabilities and Stockholders’ equity on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The carrying amount of the redeemable noncontrolling interests will be changed by periodic accretions, so that the carrying amount will equal the estimated future redemption value at the redemption date.

Fair Value Hierarchy

The standard Fair Value Measurements specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based upon whether the inputs to those valuation techniques reflect assumptions other market participants would use based upon market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs). The following summarizes the fair value hierarchy:

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets that are unadjusted and accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

Level 2: Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are inactive, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals and

Level 3: Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

Impact of Recently-Issued Accounting Standards

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (“ASU 2016-13”). The guidance introduces a new model for estimating credit losses for certain types of financial instruments, including trade and lease receivables, loans receivable, held-to-maturity debt securities, and net investments in direct financing leases, amongst other financial instruments. ASU 2016-13 also modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities and expands the disclosure requirements regarding an entity’s assumptions, models, and methods for estimating the allowance for losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging: Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities (“ASU 2017-12”). The purpose of ASU 2017-12 is to better align a company’s financial reporting for hedging activities with the economic objectives of those activities. The Company has adopted ASU 2017-12 on January 1, 2019. ASU 2017-12 requires a modified retrospective transition method which requires a cumulative effect of the change on the opening balance of each affected component of equity in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of the date of adoption. Upon adoption the Company recorded a cumulative adjustment specifically related to the elimination of the requirement for separate measurement of hedge ineffectiveness. As a result, the Company recorded an opening balance adjustment as of January 1, 2019 to dividends in excess of net earnings of $0.4 million with a corresponding change to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

(a)The Emery at Overlook Ridge property consists of a total of 326 multi-family units. The remaining 225 multi-family units are currently in construction and are expected to be placed in service in mid- 2020.

Consolidation

On March 12, 2020, the Company, acquired its equity partner's 80 percent interest in Port Imperial North Retail L.L.C., a ground floor retail space totaling 30,745 square feet located at Port Imperial, West New York, New Jersey for $13.3 million in cash (funded through borrowing under the Company’s unsecured credit facility.) The results of the transaction increased the Company’s interest to 100 percent. Upon the acquisition, the Company consolidated the MC Roseland North Retail L.L.C. joint venture, a voting interest entity. As an acquisition of the remaining interests in the venture which owns the Port Imperial North Retail L.L.C., the Company accounted for the transaction as an asset acquisition under a cost accumulation model, no gain on change of control of interest was recognized in consolidation, resulting in total consolidated net assets of $15.0 million, which are allocated as follows:

		Port Imperial North Retail L.L.C.
Land and leasehold interests	$	4,305
Buildings and improvements and other assets, net		8,912
In-place lease values (a)		1,503
Above/Below market lease value, net (a)		313
Net assets recorded upon consolidation	$	15,033
(a) In-place and below market lease values are being amortized over a weighted-average term of 7.5 years.

Real Estate Held for Sale/Discontinued Operations/Dispositions

On December 19, 2019, the Company announced that its Board had determined to sell the Company’s entire suburban New Jersey office portfolio totaling approximately 6.6 million square feet (collectively, the “Suburban Office Portfolio”).  As the decision to sell the Suburban Office Portfolio represented a strategic shift in the Company’s operations, the portfolio’s results are being classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented herein. See Note 7: Discontinued Operations.

In late 2019 through March 31, 2020, the Company completed the sale of three of these suburban office properties, totaling 697,000 square feet, for net sales proceeds of $87.2 million.  As of March 31, 2020, the Company has identified as held for sale the remaining 34 office properties (comprised of 12 identified disposal groups) in the Suburban Office Portfolio, totaling 5.9 million square feet (of which the Company currently has 17 properties totaling 2.5 million square feet under contract for sale for aggregate gross proceeds of $335.5 million). See Note 7: Discontinued Operations.  

The Company plans to complete the sale of its remaining Suburban Office Portfolio properties in 2020 and early 2021, and to use the available sales proceeds to pay down its corporate-level, unsecured indebtedness. However, the Company cannot predict whether or to what extent the timing of these sales and the expected amount and use of proceeds may be impacted by the ongoing coronavirus (“COVID-19”). After the completion of the Suburban Office Portfolio sales, the Company’s holdings will consist of its waterfront class A office portfolio and its multi-family rental portfolio, and related development projects and land holdings.

Additionally, the Company also identified a retail pad leased to others and several developable land parcels as held for sale as of March 31, 2020. The properties are located in Parsippany, Madison, Short Hills, Edison, Red Bank and Florham Park.  As a result of recent sales contract amendments and after considering the current market conditions as a result of the challenging economic climate with the current worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, the Company determined that the carrying value of 20 of the properties (comprised of four disposal groups) and several land parcels held for sale was not expected to be recovered from estimated net sales proceeds, and accordingly, during the three months ended March 31, 2020, recognized an unrealized loss allowance of $53.0 million ($45.1 million of which are from discontinued operations), for the properties and land impairments of $5.3 million.

The following table summarizes the real estate held for sale, net, and other assets and liabilities (dollars in thousands):

Rockpoint Transaction

On February 27, 2017, the Company, Roseland Residential Trust (“RRT”), the Company’s subsidiary through which the Company conducts its multi-family residential real estate operations, Roseland Residential, L.P. (“RRLP”), the operating partnership through which RRT conducts all of its operations, and certain other affiliates of the Company entered into a preferred equity investment agreement (the “Original Investment Agreement”) with certain affiliates of Rockpoint Group, L.L.C. (Rockpoint Group, L.L.C. and its affiliates, collectively, “Rockpoint”). The Original Investment Agreement provided for RRT to contribute property to RRLP in exchange for common units of limited partnership interests in RRLP (the “Common Units”) and for multiple equity investments by Rockpoint in RRLP from time to time for up to an aggregate of $300 million of preferred units of limited partnership interests in RRLP (the “Preferred Units”). The initial closing under the Original Investment Agreement occurred on March 10, 2017 for $150 million of Preferred Units and the parties agreed that the Company’s contributed equity value (“RRT Contributed Equity Value”), was $1.23 billion at closing. During the year ended December 31, 2018, a total additional amount of $105 million of Preferred Units were issued and sold to Rockpoint pursuant to the Original Investment Agreement. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, a total additional amount of $45 million of Preferred Units were issued and sold to Rockpoint pursuant to the Original Investment Agreement, which brought the Preferred Units to the full balance of $300 million. In addition, certain contributions of property to RRLP by RRT subsequent to the

execution of the Original Investment Agreement resulted in RRT being issued approximately $46 million of Preferred Units and Common Units in RRLP prior to June 26, 2019.

On June 26, 2019, the Company, RRT, RRLP, certain other affiliates of the Company and Rockpoint entered into an additional preferred equity investment agreement (the “Add On Investment Agreement”). The closing under the Add On Investment Agreement occurred on June 28, 2019. Pursuant to the Add On Investment Agreement, Rockpoint invested an additional $100 million in Preferred Units and the Company and RRT agreed to contribute to RRLP two additional properties located in Jersey City, New Jersey. The Company used the $100 million in proceeds received to repay outstanding borrowings under its unsecured revolving credit facility and other debt by June 30, 2019. In addition, Rockpoint has a right of first refusal to invest another $100 million in Preferred Units in the event RRT determines that RRLP requires additional capital prior to March 1, 2023 and, subject thereto, RRLP may issue up to approximately $154 million in Preferred Units to RRT or an affiliate so long as at the time of such funding RRT determines in good faith that RRLP has a valid business purpose to use such proceeds. See Note 15: Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests for additional information about the Add On Investment Agreement and the related transactions with Rockpoint.

Consolidation

On March 12, 2020, the Company, acquired its equity partner's 80 percent interest in Port Imperial North Retail L.L.C., a ground floor retail space totaling 30,745 square feet located at Port Imperial, West New York, New Jersey for $13.3 million in cash (funded through borrowing under the Company’s unsecured credit facility.) The results of the transaction increased the Company’s interest to 100 percent. Upon the acquisition, the Company consolidated the MC Roseland North Retail L.L.C. joint venture, a voting interest entity. As an acquisition of the remaining interests in the venture which owns the Port Imperial North Retail L.L.C., the Company accounted for the transaction as an asset acquisition under a cost accumulation model, no gain on change of control of interest was recognized in consolidation, resulting in total consolidated net assets of $15.0 million, which are allocated as follows:

		Port Imperial North Retail L.L.C.
Land and leasehold interests	$	4,305
Buildings and improvements and other assets, net		8,912

Real Estate Held for Sale/Discontinued Operations/Dispositions

On December 19, 2019, the Company announced that its Board had determined to sell the Company’s entire suburban New Jersey office portfolio totaling approximately 6.6 million square feet (collectively, the “Suburban Office Portfolio”).  As the decision to sell the Suburban Office Portfolio represented a strategic shift in the Company’s operations, the portfolio’s results are being classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented herein. See Note 7: Discontinued Operations.

In late 2019 through March 31, 2020, the Company completed the sale of three of these suburban office properties, totaling 697,000 square feet, for net sales proceeds of $87.2 million.  As of March 31, 2020, the Company has identified as held for sale the remaining 34 office properties (comprised of 12 identified disposal groups) in the Suburban Office Portfolio, totaling 5.9 million square feet (of which the Company currently has 17 properties totaling 2.5 million square feet under contract for sale for aggregate gross proceeds of $335.5 million). See Note 7: Discontinued Operations.  

The Company plans to complete the sale of its remaining Suburban Office Portfolio properties in 2020 and early 2021, and to use the available sales proceeds to pay down its corporate-level, unsecured indebtedness. However, the Company cannot predict whether or to what extent the timing of these sales and the expected amount and use of proceeds may be impacted by the ongoing coronavirus (“COVID-19”). After the completion of the Suburban Office Portfolio sales, the Company’s holdings will consist of its waterfront class A office portfolio and its multi-family rental portfolio, and related development projects and land holdings.

Additionally, the Company also identified a retail pad leased to others and several developable land parcels as held for sale as of March 31, 2020. The properties are located in Parsippany, Madison, Short Hills, Edison, Red Bank and Florham Park.  As a result of recent sales contract amendments and after considering the current market conditions as a result of the challenging economic climate with the current worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, the Company determined that the carrying value of 20 of the properties (comprised of four disposal groups) and several land parcels held for sale was not expected to be recovered from estimated net sales proceeds, and accordingly, during the three months ended March 31, 2020, recognized an unrealized loss allowance of $53.0 million ($45.1 million of which are from discontinued operations), for the properties and land impairments of $5.3 million.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

15.    REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS

The Company evaluates the terms of the partnership units issued in accordance with the FASB’s Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity guidance. Units which embody an unconditional obligation requiring the Company to redeem the units for cash after a specified or determinable date (or dates) or upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within the control of the issuer are determined to be contingently redeemable under this guidance and are included as Redeemable noncontrolling interests and classified within the mezzanine section between Total liabilities and Stockholders’ equity on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Convertible units for which the Company has the option to settle redemption amounts in cash or Common Stock are included in the caption Noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries within the equity section on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Rockpoint Transaction

On February 27, 2017, the Company, Roseland Residential Trust (“RRT”), the Company’s subsidiary through which the Company conducts its multi-family residential real estate operations, Roseland Residential, L.P. (“RRLP”), the operating partnership through which RRT conducts all of its operations, and certain other affiliates of the Company entered into a preferred equity investment agreement (the “Original Investment Agreement”) with certain affiliates of Rockpoint Group, L.L.C. (Rockpoint Group, L.L.C. and its affiliates, collectively, “Rockpoint”). The Original Investment Agreement provided for RRT to contribute property to RRLP in exchange for common units of limited partnership interests in RRLP (the “Common Units”) and for multiple equity investments by Rockpoint in RRLP from time to time for up to an aggregate of $300 million of preferred units of limited partnership interests in RRLP (the “Preferred Units”). The initial closing under the Original Investment Agreement occurred on March 10, 2017 for $150 million of Preferred Units and the parties agreed that the Company’s contributed equity value (“RRT Contributed Equity Value”), was $1.23 billion at closing. During the year ended December 31, 2018, a total additional amount of $105 million of Preferred Units were issued and sold to Rockpoint pursuant to the Original Investment Agreement. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, a total additional amount of $45 million of Preferred Units were issued and sold to Rockpoint pursuant to the Original Investment Agreement, which brought the Preferred Units to the full balance of $300 million. In addition, certain contributions of property to RRLP by RRT subsequent to the

execution of the Original Investment Agreement resulted in RRT being issued approximately $46 million of Preferred Units and Common Units in RRLP prior to June 26, 2019.

On June 26, 2019, the Company, RRT, RRLP, certain other affiliates of the Company and Rockpoint entered into an additional preferred equity investment agreement (the “Add On Investment Agreement”). The closing under the Add On Investment Agreement occurred on June 28, 2019. Pursuant to the Add On Investment Agreement, Rockpoint invested an additional $100 million in Preferred Units and the Company and RRT agreed to contribute to RRLP two additional properties located in Jersey City, New Jersey. In addition, Rockpoint has a right of first refusal to invest another $100 million in Preferred Units in the event RRT determines that RRLP requires additional capital prior to March 1, 2023 and, subject thereto, RRLP may issue up to approximately $154 million in Preferred Units to RRT or an affiliate so long as at the time of such funding RRT determines in good faith that RRLP has a valid business purpose to use such proceeds. Included in general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2019 were $371,000 in fees associated with the modifications of the Original Investment Agreement, which were made upon signing of the Add On Investment Agreement.

Under the terms of the new transaction with Rockpoint, the cash flow from operations of RRLP will be distributable to Rockpoint and RRT as follows:

first, to provide a 6% annual return to Rockpoint and RRT on their capital invested in Preferred Units (the “Preferred Base Return”);

second, 95.36% to RRT and 4.64% to Rockpoint until RRT has received a 6% annual return (the “RRT Base Return”) on the equity value of the properties contributed by it to RRLP in exchange for Common Units (previously 95% and 5%, respectively, under the Original Investment Agreement), subject to adjustment in the event RRT contributes additional property to RRLP in the future; and

third, pro rata to Rockpoint and RRT based on total respective capital invested in and contributed equity value of Preferred Units and Common Units (based on Rockpoint’s $400 million of invested capital at March 31, 2020, this pro rata distribution would be approximately 21.89% to Rockpoint in respect of Preferred Units, 2.65% to RRT in respect of Preferred Units and 75.46% to RRT in respect of Common Units).

RRLP’s cash flow from capital events will generally be distributable by RRLP to Rockpoint and RRT as follows:

first, to Rockpoint and RRT to the extent there is any unpaid, accrued Preferred Base Return;

second, as a return of capital to Rockpoint and to RRT in respect of Preferred Units;

third, 95.36% to RRT and 4.64% to Rockpoint until RRT has received the RRT Base Return in respect of Common Units (previously 95% and 5%, respectively, under the Original Investment Agreement), subject to adjustment in the event RRT contributes additional property to RRLP in the future;

fourth, 95.36% to RRT and 4.64% to Rockpoint until RRT has received a return of capital based on the equity value of the properties contributed by it to RRLP in exchange for Common Units (previously 95% and 5%, respectively, under the Original Investment Agreement), subject to adjustment in the event RRT contributes additional property to the capital of RRLP in the future;

fifth, pro rata to Rockpoint and RRT based on respective total capital invested in and contributed equity value of Preferred and Common Units until Rockpoint has received an 11% internal rate of return (based on Rockpoint’s $400 million of invested capital at March 31, 2020, this pro rata distribution would be approximately 21.89% to Rockpoint in respect of Preferred Units, 2.65% to RRT in respect of Preferred Units and 75.46% to RRT in respect of Common Units); and

sixth, to Rockpoint and RRT in respect of their Preferred Units based on 50% of their pro rata shares described in “fifth” above and the balance to RRT in respect of its Common Units (based on Rockpoint’s $400 million of invested capital at March 31, 2020, this pro rata distribution would be approximately 10.947% to Rockpoint in respect of Preferred Units, 1.325% to RRT in respect of Preferred Units and 87.728% to RRT in respect of Common Units).

In general, RRLP may not sell its properties in taxable transactions, although it may engage in tax-deferred like-kind exchanges of properties or it may proceed in another manner designed to avoid the recognition of gain for tax purposes.

In connection with the Add On Investment Agreement, on June 26, 2019, RRT increased the size of its board of trustees from six to seven persons, with five trustees being designated by the Company and two trustees being designated by Rockpoint.

In addition, as was the case under the Original Investment Agreement, RRT and RRLP are required to obtain Rockpoint’s consent with respect to:

debt financings in excess of a 65% loan-to-value ratio;

corporate level financings that are pari-passu or senior to the Preferred Units;

new investment opportunities to the extent the opportunity requires an equity capitalization in excess of 10% of RRLP’s NAV;

new investment opportunities located in a Metropolitan Statistical Area where RRLP owns no property as of the previous quarter;

declaration of bankruptcy of RRT;

transactions between RRT and the Company, subject to certain limited exceptions;

any equity granted or equity incentive plan adopted by RRLP or any of its subsidiaries; and

certain matters relating to the Credit Enhancement Note (as defined below) between the Company and RRLP (other than ordinary course borrowings or repayments thereunder).

Under a Discretionary Demand Promissory Note (the “Credit Enhancement Note”), the Company may provide periodic cash advances to RRLP. The Credit Enhancement Note provides for an interest rate equal to the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate plus fifty (50) basis points above the applicable interest rate under the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility. The maximum aggregate principal amount of advances at any one time outstanding under the Credit Enhancement Note is limited to $50 million, an increase of $25 million from the prior transaction.

RRT and RRLP also have agreed, as was the case under the Original Investment Agreement, to register the Preferred Units under certain circumstances in the future in the event RRT or RRLP becomes a publicly traded company.

During the period commencing on June 28, 2019 and ending on March 1, 2023 (the “Lockout Period”), Rockpoint’s interest in the Preferred Units cannot be redeemed or repurchased, except in connection with (a) a sale of all or substantially all of RRLP or a sale of a majority of the then-outstanding interests in RRLP, in each case, which sale is not approved by Rockpoint, or (b) a spin-out or initial public offering of common stock of RRT, or distributions of RRT equity interests by the Company or its affiliates to shareholders or their respective parent interestholders (an acquisition pursuant clauses (a) or (b) above, an “Early Purchase”). RRT has the right to acquire Rockpoint’s interest in the Preferred Units in connection with an Early Purchase for a purchase price generally equal to (i) the amount that Rockpoint would receive upon the sale of the assets of RRLP for fair market value and a distribution of the net sale proceeds in accordance with (A) the capital event distribution priorities discussed above (in the case of certain Rockpoint Preferred Holders) and (B) the distribution priorities applicable in the case of a liquidation of RRLP (in the case of the other Rockpoint Preferred Holder), plus (ii) a make whole premium (such purchase price, the “Purchase Payment”). The make whole premium is an amount equal to (i) $173.5 million until December 28, 2020, or $198.5 million thereafter, less distributions theretofore made to Rockpoint with respect to its Preferred Base Return or any deficiency therein, plus (ii) $1.5 million less certain other distributions theretofore made to Rockpoint.

The fair market value of RRLP’s assets is determined by a third party appraisal of the net asset value (“NAV”) of RRLP and the fair market value of RRLP’s assets, to be completed within ninety (90) calendar days of March 1, 2023 and annually thereafter.

After the Lockout Period, either RRT may acquire from Rockpoint, or Rockpoint may sell to RRT, all, but not less than all, of Rockpoint’s interest in the Preferred Units (each, a “Put/Call Event”) for a purchase price equal to the Purchase Payment (determined without regard to the make whole premium and any related tax allocations). An acquisition of Rockpoint’s interest in the Preferred Units pursuant to a Put/Call Event is generally required to be structured as a purchase of the common equity in the applicable Rockpoint entities holding direct or indirect interests in the Preferred Units. Subject to certain exceptions, Rockpoint also has a right of first offer and a participation right with respect to other common equity interests of RRLP or any subsidiary of RRLP that may be offered for sale by RRLP or its subsidiaries from time to time. Upon a Put/Call Event, other than in the event of a sale of RRLP, Rockpoint may elect to convert all, but not less than all, of its Preferred Units to Common Units in RRLP.

As such, the Preferred Units contain a substantive redemption feature that is outside of the Company’s control and accordingly, pursuant to ASC 480-1—S99-3A, the Preferred Units are classified in mezzanine equity measured based on the estimated future redemption value as of March 31, 2020. The Company determines the redemption value of these interests by hypothetically liquidating the estimated NAV of the RRT real estate portfolio including debt principal through the applicable waterfall provisions of the new transaction with Rockpoint. The estimation of NAV includes unobservable inputs that consider assumptions of market participants in pricing the underlying assets of RRLP. For properties under development, the Company applies a discount rate to the estimated future cash flows allocable to the Company during the period under construction and then applies a direct capitalization method to the estimated stabilized cash flows. For operating properties, the direct capitalization method is used by applying a capitalization rate to the projected net operating income. For developable land holdings, an estimated per-unit market value assumption is considered based on development rights for the land. Estimated future cash flows used in such analyses are based on the Company’s business plan for each respective property including capital expenditures, management’s views of market and economic conditions, and considers items such as current and future rental rates, occupancies and market transactions for comparable properties. The estimated future redemption value of the Preferred Units is approximately $488 million as of March 31, 2020.

Preferred Units

On February 3, 2017, the Operating Partnership issued 42,800 shares of a new class of 3.5 percent Series A Preferred Limited Partnership Units of the Operating Partnership (the “Series A Units”). The Series A Units were issued to the Company’s partners in the Plaza VIII & IX Associates L.L.C. joint venture that owns a development site adjacent to the Company’s Harborside property in Jersey City, New Jersey as non-cash consideration for their approximate 37.5 percent interest in the joint venture.

Each Series A Unit has a stated value of $1,000, pays dividends quarterly at an annual rate of 3.5 percent (subject to increase under certain circumstances), is convertible into 28.15 common units of limited partnership interests of the Operating Partnership beginning generally five years from the date of issuance, or an aggregate of up to 1,204,820 common units. The conversion rate was based on a value of $35.52 per common unit. The Series A Units have a liquidation and dividend preference senior to the common units and include customary anti-dilution protections for stock splits and similar events. The Series A Units are redeemable for cash at their stated value beginning five years from the date of issuance at the option of the holder.

On February 28, 2017, the Operating Partnership authorized the issuance of 9,213 shares of a new class of 3.5 percent Series A-1 Preferred Limited Partnership Units of the Operating Partnership (the “Series A-1 Units”). 9,122 Series A-1 Units were issued on February 28, 2017 and an additional 91 Series A-1 Units were issued in April 2017 pursuant to acquiring additional interests in a joint venture that owns Monaco Towers in Jersey City, New Jersey. The Series A-1 Units were issued as non-cash consideration for the partner’s approximate 13.8 percent ownership interest in the joint venture.

Each Series A-1 Unit has a stated value of $1,000 (the “Stated Value”), pays dividends quarterly at an annual rate equal to the greater of (x) 3.5 percent, or (y) the then-effective annual dividend yield on the General Partner’s common stock, and is convertible into 27.936 common units of limited partnership interests of the Operating Partnership beginning generally five years from the date of issuance, or an aggregate of up to 257,375 Common Units. The conversion rate was based on a value of $35.80 per common unit. The Series A-1 Units have a liquidation and dividend preference senior to the Common Units and include customary anti-dilution protections for stock splits and similar events.  The Series A-1 Units are redeemable for cash at their stated value beginning five years from the date of issuance at the option of the holder. The Series A-1 Units are pari passu with the 42,800 3.5% Series A Units issued on February 3, 2017.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

15.    REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS

The Company evaluates the terms of the partnership units issued in accordance with the FASB’s Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity guidance. Units which embody an unconditional obligation requiring the Company to redeem the units for cash after a specified or determinable date (or dates) or upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within the control of the issuer are determined to be contingently redeemable under this guidance and are included as Redeemable noncontrolling interests and classified within the mezzanine section between Total liabilities and Stockholders’ equity on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Convertible units for which the Company has the option to settle redemption amounts in cash or Common Stock are included in the caption Noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries within the equity section on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Rockpoint Transaction

On February 27, 2017, the Company, Roseland Residential Trust (“RRT”), the Company’s subsidiary through which the Company conducts its multi-family residential real estate operations, Roseland Residential, L.P. (“RRLP”), the operating partnership through which RRT conducts all of its operations, and certain other affiliates of the Company entered into a preferred equity investment agreement (the “Original Investment Agreement”) with certain affiliates of Rockpoint Group, L.L.C. (Rockpoint Group, L.L.C. and its affiliates, collectively, “Rockpoint”). The Original Investment Agreement provided for RRT to contribute property to RRLP in exchange for common units of limited partnership interests in RRLP (the “Common Units”) and for multiple equity investments by Rockpoint in RRLP from time to time for up to an aggregate of $300 million of preferred units of limited partnership interests in RRLP (the “Preferred Units”). The initial closing under the Original Investment Agreement occurred on March 10, 2017 for $150 million of Preferred Units and the parties agreed that the Company’s contributed equity value (“RRT Contributed Equity Value”), was $1.23 billion at closing. During the year ended December 31, 2018, a total additional amount of $105 million of Preferred Units were issued and sold to Rockpoint pursuant to the Original Investment Agreement. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, a total additional amount of $45 million of Preferred Units were issued and sold to Rockpoint pursuant to the Original Investment Agreement, which brought the Preferred Units to the full balance of $300 million. In addition, certain contributions of property to RRLP by RRT subsequent to the

execution of the Original Investment Agreement resulted in RRT being issued approximately $46 million of Preferred Units and Common Units in RRLP prior to June 26, 2019.

On June 26, 2019, the Company, RRT, RRLP, certain other affiliates of the Company and Rockpoint entered into an additional preferred equity investment agreement (the “Add On Investment Agreement”). The closing under the Add On Investment Agreement occurred on June 28, 2019. Pursuant to the Add On Investment Agreement, Rockpoint invested an additional $100 million in Preferred Units and the Company and RRT agreed to contribute to RRLP two additional properties located in Jersey City, New Jersey. In addition, Rockpoint has a right of first refusal to invest another $100 million in Preferred Units in the event RRT determines that RRLP requires additional capital prior to March 1, 2023 and, subject thereto, RRLP may issue up to approximately $154 million in Preferred Units to RRT or an affiliate so long as at the time of such funding RRT determines in good faith that RRLP has a valid business purpose to use such proceeds. Included in general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2019 were $371,000 in fees associated with the modifications of the Original Investment Agreement, which were made upon signing of the Add On Investment Agreement.

Under the terms of the new transaction with Rockpoint, the cash flow from operations of RRLP will be distributable to Rockpoint and RRT as follows:

first, to provide a 6% annual return to Rockpoint and RRT on their capital invested in Preferred Units (the “Preferred Base Return”);

second, 95.36% to RRT and 4.64% to Rockpoint until RRT has received a 6% annual return (the “RRT Base Return”) on the equity value of the properties contributed by it to RRLP in exchange for Common Units (previously 95% and 5%, respectively, under the Original Investment Agreement), subject to adjustment in the event RRT contributes additional property to RRLP in the future; and

third, pro rata to Rockpoint and RRT based on total respective capital invested in and contributed equity value of Preferred Units and Common Units (based on Rockpoint’s $400 million of invested capital at March 31, 2020, this pro rata distribution would be approximately 21.89% to Rockpoint in respect of Preferred Units, 2.65% to RRT in respect of Preferred Units and 75.46% to RRT in respect of Common Units).

RRLP’s cash flow from capital events will generally be distributable by RRLP to Rockpoint and RRT as follows:

first, to Rockpoint and RRT to the extent there is any unpaid, accrued Preferred Base Return;

second, as a return of capital to Rockpoint and to RRT in respect of Preferred Units;

third, 95.36% to RRT and 4.64% to Rockpoint until RRT has received the RRT Base Return in respect of Common Units (previously 95% and 5%, respectively, under the Original Investment Agreement), subject to adjustment in the event RRT contributes additional property to RRLP in the future;

fourth, 95.36% to RRT and 4.64% to Rockpoint until RRT has received a return of capital based on the equity value of the properties contributed by it to RRLP in exchange for Common Units (previously 95% and 5%, respectively, under the Original Investment Agreement), subject to adjustment in the event RRT contributes additional property to the capital of RRLP in the future;

fifth, pro rata to Rockpoint and RRT based on respective total capital invested in and contributed equity value of Preferred and Common Units until Rockpoint has received an 11% internal rate of return (based on Rockpoint’s $400 million of invested capital at March 31, 2020, this pro rata distribution would be approximately 21.89% to Rockpoint in respect of Preferred Units, 2.65% to RRT in respect of Preferred Units and 75.46% to RRT in respect of Common Units); and

sixth, to Rockpoint and RRT in respect of their Preferred Units based on 50% of their pro rata shares described in “fifth” above and the balance to RRT in respect of its Common Units (based on Rockpoint’s $400 million of invested capital at March 31, 2020, this pro rata distribution would be approximately 10.947% to Rockpoint in respect of Preferred Units, 1.325% to RRT in respect of Preferred Units and 87.728% to RRT in respect of Common Units).

In general, RRLP may not sell its properties in taxable transactions, although it may engage in tax-deferred like-kind exchanges of properties or it may proceed in another manner designed to avoid the recognition of gain for tax purposes.

In connection with the Add On Investment Agreement, on June 26, 2019, RRT increased the size of its board of trustees from six to seven persons, with five trustees being designated by the Company and two trustees being designated by Rockpoint.

In addition, as was the case under the Original Investment Agreement, RRT and RRLP are required to obtain Rockpoint’s consent with respect to:

debt financings in excess of a 65% loan-to-value ratio;

corporate level financings that are pari-passu or senior to the Preferred Units;

new investment opportunities to the extent the opportunity requires an equity capitalization in excess of 10% of RRLP’s NAV;

new investment opportunities located in a Metropolitan Statistical Area where RRLP owns no property as of the previous quarter;

declaration of bankruptcy of RRT;

transactions between RRT and the Company, subject to certain limited exceptions;

any equity granted or equity incentive plan adopted by RRLP or any of its subsidiaries; and

certain matters relating to the Credit Enhancement Note (as defined below) between the Company and RRLP (other than ordinary course borrowings or repayments thereunder).

Under a Discretionary Demand Promissory Note (the “Credit Enhancement Note”), the Company may provide periodic cash advances to RRLP. The Credit Enhancement Note provides for an interest rate equal to the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate plus fifty (50) basis points above the applicable interest rate under the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility. The maximum aggregate principal amount of advances at any one time outstanding under the Credit Enhancement Note is limited to $50 million, an increase of $25 million from the prior transaction.

RRT and RRLP also have agreed, as was the case under the Original Investment Agreement, to register the Preferred Units under certain circumstances in the future in the event RRT or RRLP becomes a publicly traded company.

During the period commencing on June 28, 2019 and ending on March 1, 2023 (the “Lockout Period”), Rockpoint’s interest in the Preferred Units cannot be redeemed or repurchased, except in connection with (a) a sale of all or substantially all of RRLP or a sale of a majority of the then-outstanding interests in RRLP, in each case, which sale is not approved by Rockpoint, or (b) a spin-out or initial public offering of common stock of RRT, or distributions of RRT equity interests by the Company or its affiliates to shareholders or their respective parent interestholders (an acquisition pursuant clauses (a) or (b) above, an “Early Purchase”). RRT has the right to acquire Rockpoint’s interest in the Preferred Units in connection with an Early Purchase for a purchase price generally equal to (i) the amount that Rockpoint would receive upon the sale of the assets of RRLP for fair market value and a distribution of the net sale proceeds in accordance with (A) the capital event distribution priorities discussed above (in the case of certain Rockpoint Preferred Holders) and (B) the distribution priorities applicable in the case of a liquidation of RRLP (in the case of the other Rockpoint Preferred Holder), plus (ii) a make whole premium (such purchase price, the “Purchase Payment”). The make whole premium is an amount equal to (i) $173.5 million until December 28, 2020, or $198.5 million thereafter, less distributions theretofore made to Rockpoint with respect to its Preferred Base Return or any deficiency therein, plus (ii) $1.5 million less certain other distributions theretofore made to Rockpoint.

The fair market value of RRLP’s assets is determined by a third party appraisal of the net asset value (“NAV”) of RRLP and the fair market value of RRLP’s assets, to be completed within ninety (90) calendar days of March 1, 2023 and annually thereafter.

After the Lockout Period, either RRT may acquire from Rockpoint, or Rockpoint may sell to RRT, all, but not less than all, of Rockpoint’s interest in the Preferred Units (each, a “Put/Call Event”) for a purchase price equal to the Purchase Payment (determined without regard to the make whole premium and any related tax allocations). An acquisition of Rockpoint’s interest in the Preferred Units pursuant to a Put/Call Event is generally required to be structured as a purchase of the common equity in the applicable Rockpoint entities holding direct or indirect interests in the Preferred Units. Subject to certain exceptions, Rockpoint also has a right of first offer and a participation right with respect to other common equity interests of RRLP or any subsidiary of RRLP that may be offered for sale by RRLP or its subsidiaries from time to time. Upon a Put/Call Event, other than in the event of a sale of RRLP, Rockpoint may elect to convert all, but not less than all, of its Preferred Units to Common Units in RRLP.

As such, the Preferred Units contain a substantive redemption feature that is outside of the Company’s control and accordingly, pursuant to ASC 480-1—S99-3A, the Preferred Units are classified in mezzanine equity measured based on the estimated future redemption value as of March 31, 2020. The Company determines the redemption value of these interests by hypothetically liquidating the estimated NAV of the RRT real estate portfolio including debt principal through the applicable waterfall provisions of the new transaction with Rockpoint. The estimation of NAV includes unobservable inputs that consider assumptions of market participants in pricing the underlying assets of RRLP. For properties under development, the Company applies a discount rate to the estimated future cash flows allocable to the Company during the period under construction and then applies a direct capitalization method to the estimated stabilized cash flows. For operating properties, the direct capitalization method is used by applying a capitalization rate to the projected net operating income. For developable land holdings, an estimated per-unit market value assumption is considered based on development rights for the land. Estimated future cash flows used in such analyses are based on the Company’s business plan for each respective property including capital expenditures, management’s views of market and economic conditions, and considers items such as current and future rental rates, occupancies and market transactions for comparable properties. The estimated future redemption value of the Preferred Units is approximately $488 million as of March 31, 2020.

Preferred Units

On February 3, 2017, the Operating Partnership issued 42,800 shares of a new class of 3.5 percent Series A Preferred Limited Partnership Units of the Operating Partnership (the “Series A Units”). The Series A Units were issued to the Company’s partners in the Plaza VIII & IX Associates L.L.C. joint venture that owns a development site adjacent to the Company’s Harborside property in Jersey City, New Jersey as non-cash consideration for their approximate 37.5 percent interest in the joint venture.

Each Series A Unit has a stated value of $1,000, pays dividends quarterly at an annual rate of 3.5 percent (subject to increase under certain circumstances), is convertible into 28.15 common units of limited partnership interests of the Operating Partnership beginning generally five years from the date of issuance, or an aggregate of up to 1,204,820 common units. The conversion rate was based on a value of $35.52 per common unit. The Series A Units have a liquidation and dividend preference senior to the common units and include customary anti-dilution protections for stock splits and similar events. The Series A Units are redeemable for cash at their stated value beginning five years from the date of issuance at the option of the holder.

On February 28, 2017, the Operating Partnership authorized the issuance of 9,213 shares of a new class of 3.5 percent Series A-1 Preferred Limited Partnership Units of the Operating Partnership (the “Series A-1 Units”). 9,122 Series A-1 Units were issued on February 28, 2017 and an additional 91 Series A-1 Units were issued in April 2017 pursuant to acquiring additional interests in a joint venture that owns Monaco Towers in Jersey City, New Jersey. The Series A-1 Units were issued as non-cash consideration for the partner’s approximate 13.8 percent ownership interest in the joint venture.

Each Series A-1 Unit has a stated value of $1,000 (the “Stated Value”), pays dividends quarterly at an annual rate equal to the greater of (x) 3.5 percent, or (y) the then-effective annual dividend yield on the General Partner’s common stock, and is convertible into 27.936 common units of limited partnership interests of the Operating Partnership beginning generally five years from the date of issuance, or an aggregate of up to 257,375 Common Units. The conversion rate was based on a value of $35.80 per common unit. The Series A-1 Units have a liquidation and dividend preference senior to the Common Units and include customary anti-dilution protections for stock splits and similar events.  The Series A-1 Units are redeemable for cash at their stated value beginning five years from the date of issuance at the option of the holder. The Series A-1 Units are pari passu with the 42,800 3.5% Series A Units issued on February 3, 2017.

Subsequent Events

19.SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On April 24, 2020, the Company signed an agreement to sell 111 River Street, a 566,215 square foot office property located in Hoboken, New Jersey, for $244.5 million, subject to the transfer of the $150 million mortgage loan currently collateralized by the property to the buyer, and other conditions.

The recent outbreak of COVID-19 across many countries around the globe, including the U.S., has significantly slowed global economic activity, caused significant volatility in financial markets, and resulted in unprecedented job losses causing many to fear an imminent global recession. The global impact of the outbreak has been rapidly evolving. The responses of many countries, including the U.S., have included quarantines, restrictions on business activities, including construction activities, restrictions on group gatherings, and restrictions on travel. These actions are creating disruption in the global economy and supply chains and adversely impacting many industries, including owners and developers of office and mixed-use buildings. Moreover, there is significant uncertainty around the breadth and duration of business disruptions related to COVID-19, as well as its impact on the U.S. economy and consumer confidence. Demand for space at the Company’s properties is dependent on a variety of macroeconomic factors, such as employment levels, interest rates, changes in stock market valuations, rent levels and availability of competing space. These factors can be significantly adversely affected by a variety of factors beyond the Company’s control. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts the Company’s results will depend on future developments, many of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions taken to contain it or treat its impact. If the outbreak continues, there will likely be continued negative economic impacts, market volatility, and business disruption which could negatively impact the Company’s tenants’ ability to pay rent, the Company’s ability to lease vacant space, the Company’s property operating and other expenses and the Company’s ability to complete development and redevelopment projects, and these consequences, in turn, could materially impact the Company’s results of operations.

On April 10, 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued a Staff Q&A to respond to some frequently asked questions about accounting for lease concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Consequently, for concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, an entity will not have to analyze each contract to determine whether enforceable rights and obligations for concessions exist in the contract and can elect to apply or not apply the lease modification guidance to those contracts. Entities may make the elections for any lessor-provided concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic (e.g., deferrals of lease payments, cash payments made to the lessee, reduced future lease payments) as long as the concession does not result in a substantial increase in the rights of the lessor or the obligations of the lessee. The Company is currently working with tenants impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic to determine appropriate lease concessions. To date, the impact of lease concessions granted has not had a material effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company. The Company will continue to evaluate the impact of lease concessions and the appropriate accounting for those concessions.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. During the year ended December 31, 2019, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with existing variable-rate debt. As of March 31, 2020, the Company did not have any outstanding interest rate swaps that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk

During 2019, in connection with the paydown of the Company’s outstanding term loans, the Company terminated interest rate swaps with the corresponding notional amount.  These paydowns resulted in the Company accelerating the reclassification of gains from other comprehensive income to earnings as a result of the hedged forecasted transactions no longer being probable to occur, amounting to $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. No additional amounts were recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

The changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt. During the next 12 months, the Company estimates no  additional amount to be reclassified to interest expense.

The table below presents the effect of the Company’s derivative financial instruments on the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ending March 31, 2020 and 2019 (dollars in thousands):

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features

The Company had agreements with each of its derivative counterparties that contained a provision where the Company could be declared in default on its derivative obligations if repayment of the underlying indebtedness was accelerated by the lender due to the Company's default on the indebtedness. As of March 31, 2020, the Company did not have derivatives in a net liability position including accrued interest but excluding any adjustment for nonperformance risk related to these agreements. As of March 31, 2020, the Company has not posted any collateral related to these agreements.

Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility And Term Loans

9.    UNSECURED REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY AND TERM LOANS

On January 25, 2017, the Company entered into an amended revolving credit facility and new term loan agreement (“2017 Credit Agreement”) with a group of 13 lenders. Pursuant to the 2017 Credit Agreement, the Company refinanced its existing $600 million unsecured revolving credit facility (“2017 Credit Facility”) and entered into a new $325 million unsecured, delayed-draw term loan facility (“2017 Term Loan”). Effective March 6, 2018, the Company elected to determine its interest rate under the 2017 Credit Agreement and under the 2017 Term Loan using the defined leverage ratio option, resulting in an interest rate of London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 130 basis points and LIBOR plus 155 basis points, respectively.

The terms of the 2017 Credit Facility include: (1) a four year term ending in January 2021, with two six month extension options; , subject to the Company not being in default on the facility and with the payment of a fee of 7.5 basis points for each extension; (2) revolving credit loans may be made to the Company in an aggregate principal amount of up to $600 million (subject to increase as discussed below), with a sublimit under the 2017 Credit Facility for the issuance of letters of credit in an amount not to exceed $60 million (subject to increase as discussed below); (3) an interest rate, based on the Operating Partnership’s unsecured debt ratings from Moody’s or S&P, or, at the Operating Partnership’s option, if it no longer maintains a debt rating from Moody’s or S&P, or such debt ratings fall below Baa3 and BBB-, based on a defined leverage ratio; and (4) a facility fee, currently 25 basis points, payable quarterly based on the Operating Partnership’s unsecured debt ratings from Moody’s or S&P, or, at the Operating Partnership’s option, if it no longer maintains a debt rating from Moody’s or S&P or such debt ratings fall below Baa3 and BBB-, based on a defined leverage ratio.

After electing to use the defined leverage ratio to determine the interest rate, the interest rates on outstanding borrowings, alternate base rate loans and the facility fee on the current borrowing capacity, payable quarterly in arrears, on the 2017 Credit Facility are currently based on the following total leverage ratio grid:

		Interest Rate -
		Applicable
	Interest Rate -	Basis Points
	Applicable	Above LIBOR for
	Basis Points	Alternate Base	Facility Fee
Total Leverage Ratio	Above LIBOR	Rate Loans	Basis Points
<45%	125.0	25.0	20.0
≥45% and <50% (current ratio)	130.0	30.0	25.0
≥50% and <55%	135.0	35.0	30.0
≥55%	160.0	60.0	35.0

Prior to the election to use the defined leverage ratio option, the interest rates on outstanding borrowings, alternate base rate loans and the facility fee on the current borrowing capacity, payable quarterly in arrears, on the 2017 Credit Facility were based upon the Operating Partnership’s unsecured debt ratings, as follows:

		Interest Rate -
		Applicable
	Interest Rate -	Basis Points
Operating Partnership's	Applicable	Above LIBOR for
Unsecured Debt Ratings:	Basis Points	Alternate Base	Facility Fee
Higher of S&P or Moody's	Above LIBOR	Rate Loans	Basis Points

BBB or Baa2	100.0	0.0	20.0
BBB+ or Baa1	90.0	0.0	15.0
A- or A3 or higher	87.5	0.0	12.5

The terms of the 2017 Term Loan included: (1) a three year term ending in January 2020, with two one year extension options; (2) multiple draws of the term loan commitments may be made within 12 months of the effective date of the 2017 Credit Agreement up to an aggregate principal amount of $325 million (subject to increase as discussed below), with no requirement to be drawn in full; provided, that, if the Company does not borrow at least 50 percent of the initial term commitment from the term lenders (i.e. 50 percent of $325 million) on or before July 25, 2017, the amount of unused term loan commitments shall be reduced on such date so that, after giving effect to such reduction, the amount of unused term loan commitments is not greater than the outstanding term loans on such date; (3) an interest rate, based on the Operating Partnership’s unsecured debt ratings from Moody’s or S&P, or, at the Operating

Partnership’s option if it no longer maintains a debt rating from Moody’s or S&P or such debt ratings fall below Baa3 and BBB-, based on a defined leverage ratio; and (4) a term commitment fee on any unused term loan commitment during the first 12 months after the effective date of the 2017 Credit Agreement at a rate of 0.25 percent per annum on the sum of the average daily unused portion of the aggregate term loan commitments.

On March 22, 2017, the Company drew the full $325 million available under the 2017 Term Loan. On March 29, 2017, the Company executed interest rate swap arrangements to fix LIBOR with an aggregate average rate of 1.6473% for the swaps and a then aggregate fixed rate of 3.1973% on borrowings under the 2017 Term Loan.

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company prepaid the 2017 Term Loan (using a portion of the proceeds from a new mortgage loan collateralized by an office building located at 111 River Street and using borrowings under the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility) and recorded a net loss of $173,000 from extinguishment of debt, as a result of a gain of $80,000 due to the early termination of part of the interest rate swap arrangements, and the write off of unamortized deferred financing costs and fees amounting to $253,000 as a result of the debt prepayment.

After electing to use the defined leverage ratio to determine the interest rate, the interest rate under the 2017 Term Loan was based on the following total leverage ratio grid:

		Interest Rate -
		Applicable
	Interest Rate -	Basis Points
	Applicable	Above LIBOR for
	Basis Points	Alternate Base Rate
Total Leverage Ratio	above LIBOR	Loans
<45%	145.0	45.0
≥45% and <50% (current ratio)	155.0	55.0
≥50% and <55%	165.0	65.0
≥55%	195.0	95.0

Prior to the election to use the defined leverage ratio option, the interest rate on the 2017 Term Loan was based upon the Operating Partnership's unsecured debt ratings, as follows:

		Interest Rate -
		Applicable
	Interest Rate -	Basis Points
Operating Partnership's	Applicable	Above LIBOR for
Unsecured Debt Ratings:	Basis Points	Alternate Base Rate
Higher of S&P or Moody's	Above LIBOR	Loans
No ratings or less than BBB-/Baa3	185.0	85.0
BBB- or Baa3 (interest rate based on Company's election through March 5, 2018)	140.0	40.0
BBB or Baa2	115.0	15.0
BBB+ or Baa1	100.0	0.0
A- or A3 or higher	90.0	0.0

On up to four occasions at any time after the effective date of the 2017 Credit Agreement, the Company may elect to request (1) an increase to the existing revolving credit commitments (any such increase, the “New Revolving Credit Commitments”) and/or (2) the establishment of one or more new term loan commitments (the “New Term Commitments”, together with the 2017 Credit Commitments, the “Incremental Commitments”), by up to an aggregate amount not to exceed $350 million for all Incremental Commitments. The Company may also request that the sublimit for letters of credit available under the 2017 Credit Facility be increased to $100 million (without arranging any New Revolving Credit Commitments). No lender or letter of credit issued has any obligation to accept any Incremental Commitment or any increase to the letter of credit subfacility. There is no premium or penalty associated with full or partial prepayment of borrowings under the 2017 Credit Agreement.

The 2017 Credit Agreement, which applies to both the 2017 Credit Facility and 2017 Term Loan, includes certain restrictions and covenants which limit, among other things the incurrence of additional indebtedness, the incurrence of liens and the disposition of real estate properties (to the extent that: (i) such property dispositions cause the Company to default on any of the financial ratios of the 2017 Credit Agreement (described below), or (ii) the property dispositions are completed while the Company is under an event of default under the 2017 Credit Agreement, unless, under certain circumstances, such disposition is being carried out to cure such default), and which require compliance with financial ratios relating to the maximum leverage ratio (60 percent), the maximum amount of secured indebtedness (40 percent), the minimum amount of fixed charge coverage (1.5 times), the maximum amount of unsecured indebtedness

(60 percent), the minimum amount of unencumbered property interest coverage (2.0 times) and certain investment limitations (generally 15 percent of total capitalization).  The 2017 Credit Agreement contains “change of control” provisions that permit the lenders to declare a default and require the immediate repayment of all outstanding borrowings under the 2017 Credit Facility. These change of control provisions, which have been an event of default under the agreements governing the Company’s revolving credit facilities since June 2000, are triggered if, among other things, a majority of the seats on the Board of Directors (other than vacant seats) become occupied by directors who were neither nominated by the Board Directors nor appointed by a majority of directors nominated by the Board of Directors. Furthermore, the agreements governing the Company's Senior Unsecured Notes include cross-acceleration provisions that would constitute an event of default requiring immediate repayment of the Notes if the change of control provisions under the 2017 Credit Facility are triggered and the lenders declare a default and exercise their rights under the 2017 Credit Facility and accelerate repayment of the outstanding borrowings thereunder. In addition, construction loans secured by two multi-family residential property development projects contain cross-acceleration provisions similar to those in the agreements governing the Notes for defaults by the Company.  If these change of control provisions were triggered, the Company could seek a forbearance, waiver or amendment of the change of control provisions from the lenders, however there can be no assurance that the Company would be able to obtain such forbearance, waiver or amendment on acceptable terms or at all. If an event of default has occurred and is continuing, the entire outstanding balance under the 2017 Credit Agreement may (or, in the case of any bankruptcy event of default, shall) become immediately due and payable, and the Company will not make any excess distributions except to enable the General Partner to continue to qualify as a REIT under the IRS Code.

Before it amended and restated its unsecured revolving credit facility in January 2017, the Company had a $600 million unsecured revolving credit facility with a group of 17 lenders that was scheduled to mature in July 2017. The interest rate on outstanding borrowings (not electing the Company’s competitive bid feature) and the facility fee on the current borrowing capacity payable quarterly in arrears was based upon the Operating Partnership’s unsecured debt ratings at the time, as follows:

Operating Partnership's	Interest Rate -
Unsecured Debt Ratings:	Applicable Basis Points	Facility Fee
Higher of S&P or Moody's	Above LIBOR	Basis Points
No ratings or less than BBB-/Baa3	170.0	35.0
BBB- or Baa3 (since January 2017 amendment)	130.0	30.0
BBB or Baa2	110.0	20.0
BBB+ or Baa1	100.0	15.0
A- or A3 or higher	92.5	12.5

In January 2016, the Company obtained a $350 million unsecured term loan (“2016 Term Loan”), which had been scheduled to mature in January 2019 with two one year extension options. On January 7, 2019, the Company exercised the first one-year extension option with the payment of an extension fee of $0.5 million, which extended the maturity of the 2016 Term Loan to January 2020. The interest rate for the term loan is based on the Operating Partnership’s unsecured debt ratings, or, at the Company's option, a defined leverage ratio. Effective March 6, 2018, the Company elected to determine its interest rate under the 2016 Term Loan using the defined leverage ratio option, resulting in an interest rate of LIBOR plus 155 basis points. The Company entered into interest rate swap arrangements to fix LIBOR for the duration of the term loan. Including costs, the current all-in fixed rate is 3.28 percent. The proceeds from the loan were used primarily to repay outstanding borrowings on the Company’s then existing unsecured revolving credit facility and to repay $200 million senior unsecured notes that matured on January 15, 2016.  

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company prepaid the 2016 Term Loan (using a portion of the cash sales proceeds from the Flex portfolio sale, using the proceeds from a mortgage loan financing obtained on Soho Lofts Apartments and using a portion of the proceeds from a new mortgage loan collateralized by an office building located at 111 River Street), and recorded a gain of $2.1 million due to the early termination of part of the interest rate swap arrangements, as a result of the debt prepayment during the year ended December 31, 2019. Unamortized deferred financing costs and fees amounting to $242,000 pertaining to the 2016 Term Loan were written off during the year ended December 31, 2019.

In summary, the Company recorded a net gain on extinguishment of debt of $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, as described above.

After electing to use the defined leverage ratio to determine interest rate, the interest rate under the 2016 Term Loan was based on the following total leverage ratio grid:

	Interest Rate -
	Applicable Basis
Total Leverage Ratio	Points above LIBOR
<45%	145.0
≥45% and <50% (current ratio)	155.0
≥50% and <55%	165.0
≥55%	195.0

Prior to the election to use the defined interest leverage ratio option, the interest rate on the 2016 Term Loan was based upon the Operating Partnership’s unsecured debt ratings, as follows:

Operating Partnership's	Interest Rate -
Unsecured Debt Ratings:	Applicable Basis Points
Higher of S&P or Moody's	Above LIBOR
No ratings or less than BBB-/Baa3	185.0
BBB- or Baa3 (interest rate based on Company's election through March 5, 2018)	140.0
BBB or Baa2	115.0
BBB+ or Baa1	100.0
A- or A3 or higher	90.0

The terms of the 2016 Term Loan include certain restrictions and covenants which limit, among other things the incurrence of additional indebtedness, the incurrence of liens and the disposition of real estate properties (to the extent that: (i) such property dispositions cause the Company to default on any of the financial ratios of the term loan described below, or (ii) the property dispositions are completed while the Company is under an event of default under the term loan, unless, under certain circumstances, such disposition is being carried out to cure such default), and which require compliance with financial ratios relating to the maximum leverage ratio (60 percent), the maximum amount of secured indebtedness (40 percent), the minimum amount of fixed charge coverage (1.5 times), the maximum amount of unsecured indebtedness (60 percent), the minimum amount of unencumbered property interest coverage (2.0 times) and certain investment limitations (generally 15 percent of total capitalization). If an event of default has occurred and is continuing, the Company will not make any excess distributions except to enable the General Partner to continue to qualify as a REIT under the IRS Code.

On August 30, 2018, the Company entered into an amendment to the 2017 Credit Agreement (the “2017 Credit Agreement Amendment”) and an amendment to the 2016 Term Loan (the “2016 Term Loan Amendment”).

Each of the 2017 Credit Agreement Amendment and the 2016 Term Loan Amendment was effective as of June 30, 2018 and provided for the following material amendments to the terms of both the 2017 Credit Agreement and 2016 Term Loan:

1.The unsecured debt ratio covenant has been modified with respect to the measurement of the unencumbered collateral pool of assets in the calculation of such ratio for the period commencing July 1, 2018 and continuing until December 31, 2019 to allow the Operating Partnership to utilize the “as-is” appraised value of the properties known as ‘Harborside Plaza I’ and ‘Harborside Plaza V’ properties located in Jersey City, NJ in such calculation; and

2.A new covenant has been added that prohibits the Company from making any optional or voluntary payment, repayment, repurchase or redemption of any unsecured indebtedness of the Company (or any subsidiaries) that matures after January 25, 2022, at any time when any of the Total Leverage Ratio or the unsecured debt ratio covenants exceeds 60 percent (all as defined in the 2017 Credit Agreement and the 2016 Term Loan) or an appraisal is being used to determine the value of Harborside Plaza I and Harborside Plaza V for the unsecured debt ratio covenant.

All other terms and conditions of the 2017 Credit Agreement and the 2016 Term Loan remain unchanged.

The Company was in compliance with its debt covenants under its unsecured revolving credit facility as of March 31, 2020.

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company’s borrowings under its unsecured credit facility totaled $277 million and $329 million, respectively.

9.    UNSECURED REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY AND TERM LOANS

On January 25, 2017, the Company entered into an amended revolving credit facility and new term loan agreement (“2017 Credit Agreement”) with a group of 13 lenders. Pursuant to the 2017 Credit Agreement, the Company refinanced its existing $600 million unsecured revolving credit facility (“2017 Credit Facility”) and entered into a new $325 million unsecured, delayed-draw term loan facility (“2017 Term Loan”). Effective March 6, 2018, the Company elected to determine its interest rate under the 2017 Credit Agreement and under the 2017 Term Loan using the defined leverage ratio option, resulting in an interest rate of London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 130 basis points and LIBOR plus 155 basis points, respectively.

The terms of the 2017 Credit Facility include: (1) a four year term ending in January 2021, with two six month extension options; , subject to the Company not being in default on the facility and with the payment of a fee of 7.5 basis points for each extension; (2) revolving credit loans may be made to the Company in an aggregate principal amount of up to $600 million (subject to increase as discussed below), with a sublimit under the 2017 Credit Facility for the issuance of letters of credit in an amount not to exceed $60 million (subject to increase as discussed below); (3) an interest rate, based on the Operating Partnership’s unsecured debt ratings from Moody’s or S&P, or, at the Operating Partnership’s option, if it no longer maintains a debt rating from Moody’s or S&P, or such debt ratings fall below Baa3 and BBB-, based on a defined leverage ratio; and (4) a facility fee, currently 25 basis points, payable quarterly based on the Operating Partnership’s unsecured debt ratings from Moody’s or S&P, or, at the Operating Partnership’s option, if it no longer maintains a debt rating from Moody’s or S&P or such debt ratings fall below Baa3 and BBB-, based on a defined leverage ratio.

After electing to use the defined leverage ratio to determine the interest rate, the interest rates on outstanding borrowings, alternate base rate loans and the facility fee on the current borrowing capacity, payable quarterly in arrears, on the 2017 Credit Facility are currently based on the following total leverage ratio grid:

On up to four occasions at any time after the effective date of the 2017 Credit Agreement, the Company may elect to request (1) an increase to the existing revolving credit commitments (any such increase, the “New Revolving Credit Commitments”) and/or (2) the establishment of one or more new term loan commitments (the “New Term Commitments”, together with the 2017 Credit Commitments, the “Incremental Commitments”), by up to an aggregate amount not to exceed $350 million for all Incremental Commitments.

In January 2016, the Company obtained a $350 million unsecured term loan (“2016 Term Loan”), which had been scheduled to mature in January 2019 with two one year extension options. On January 7, 2019, the Company exercised the first one-year extension option with the payment of an extension fee of $0.5 million, which extended the maturity of the 2016 Term Loan to January 2020. The interest rate for the term loan is based on the Operating Partnership’s unsecured debt ratings, or, at the Company's option, a defined leverage ratio. Effective March 6, 2018, the Company elected to determine its interest rate under the 2016 Term Loan using the defined leverage ratio option, resulting in an interest rate of LIBOR plus 155 basis points. The Company entered into interest rate swap arrangements to fix LIBOR for the duration of the term loan. Including costs, the current all-in fixed rate is 3.28 percent. The proceeds from the loan were used primarily to repay outstanding borrowings on the Company’s then existing unsecured revolving credit facility and to repay $200 million senior unsecured notes that matured on January 15, 2016.  

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company prepaid the 2016 Term Loan (using a portion of the cash sales proceeds from the Flex portfolio sale, using the proceeds from a mortgage loan financing obtained on Soho Lofts Apartments and using a portion of the proceeds from a new mortgage loan collateralized by an office building located at 111 River Street), and recorded a gain of $2.1 million due to the early termination of part of the interest rate swap arrangements, as a result of the debt prepayment during the year ended December 31, 2019. Unamortized deferred financing costs and fees amounting to $242,000 pertaining to the 2016 Term Loan were written off during the year ended December 31, 2019.

In summary, the Company recorded a net gain on extinguishment of debt of $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, as described above.

After electing to use the defined leverage ratio to determine interest rate, the interest rate under the 2016 Term Loan was based on the following total leverage ratio grid:

	Interest Rate -
	Applicable Basis
Total Leverage Ratio	Points above LIBOR
<45%	145.0
≥45% and <50% (current ratio)	155.0
≥50% and <55%	165.0
≥55%	195.0

Prior to the election to use the defined interest leverage ratio option, the interest rate on the 2016 Term Loan was based upon the Operating Partnership’s unsecured debt ratings, as follows:

Operating Partnership's	Interest Rate -
Unsecured Debt Ratings:	Applicable Basis Points
Higher of S&P or Moody's	Above LIBOR
No ratings or less than BBB-/Baa3	185.0
BBB- or Baa3 (interest rate based on Company's election through March 5, 2018)	140.0
BBB or Baa2	115.0
BBB+ or Baa1	100.0
A- or A3 or higher	90.0

The terms of the 2016 Term Loan include certain restrictions and covenants which limit, among other things the incurrence of additional indebtedness, the incurrence of liens and the disposition of real estate properties (to the extent that: (i) such property dispositions cause the Company to default on any of the financial ratios of the term loan described below, or (ii) the property dispositions are completed while the Company is under an event of default under the term loan, unless, under certain circumstances, such disposition is being carried out to cure such default), and which require compliance with financial ratios relating to the maximum leverage ratio (60 percent), the maximum amount of secured indebtedness (40 percent), the minimum amount of fixed charge coverage (1.5 times), the maximum amount of unsecured indebtedness (60 percent), the minimum amount of unencumbered property interest coverage (2.0 times) and certain investment limitations (generally 15 percent of total capitalization). If an event of default has occurred and is continuing, the Company will not make any excess distributions except to enable the General Partner to continue to qualify as a REIT under the IRS Code.

On August 30, 2018, the Company entered into an amendment to the 2017 Credit Agreement (the “2017 Credit Agreement Amendment”) and an amendment to the 2016 Term Loan (the “2016 Term Loan Amendment”).

Each of the 2017 Credit Agreement Amendment and the 2016 Term Loan Amendment was effective as of June 30, 2018 and provided for the following material amendments to the terms of both the 2017 Credit Agreement and 2016 Term Loan:

1.The unsecured debt ratio covenant has been modified with respect to the measurement of the unencumbered collateral pool of assets in the calculation of such ratio for the period commencing July 1, 2018 and continuing until December 31, 2019 to allow the Operating Partnership to utilize the “as-is” appraised value of the properties known as ‘Harborside Plaza I’ and ‘Harborside Plaza V’ properties located in Jersey City, NJ in such calculation; and

2.A new covenant has been added that prohibits the Company from making any optional or voluntary payment, repayment, repurchase or redemption of any unsecured indebtedness of the Company (or any subsidiaries) that matures after January 25, 2022, at any time when any of the Total Leverage Ratio or the unsecured debt ratio covenants exceeds 60 percent (all as defined in the 2017 Credit Agreement and the 2016 Term Loan) or an appraisal is being used to determine the value of Harborside Plaza I and Harborside Plaza V for the unsecured debt ratio covenant.

All other terms and conditions of the 2017 Credit Agreement and the 2016 Term Loan remain unchanged.

The Company was in compliance with its debt covenants under its unsecured revolving credit facility as of March 31, 2020.

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company’s borrowings under its unsecured credit facility totaled $277 million and $329 million, respectively.

Organization

Mack-Cali Realty Corporation, a Maryland corporation, together with its subsidiaries (collectively, the “General Partner”) is a fully-integrated self-administered, self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”). The General Partner controls Mack-Cali Realty, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, together with its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Operating Partnership”), as its sole general partner and owned a 90.5 and 90.4 percent common unit interest in the Operating Partnership as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The General Partner’s business is the ownership of interests in and operation of the Operating Partnership and all of the General Partner’s expenses are incurred for the benefit of the Operating Partnership. The General Partner is reimbursed by the Operating Partnership for all expenses it incurs relating to the ownership and operation of the Operating Partnership.

The Operating Partnership conducts the business of providing leasing, management, acquisition, development and tenant-related services for its General Partner. The Operating Partnership, through its operating divisions and subsidiaries, including the Mack-Cali property-owning partnerships and limited liability companies, is the entity through which all of the General Partner’s operations are conducted. Unless stated otherwise or the context requires, the “Company” refers to the General Partner and its subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries.

As of March 31, 2020, the Company owned or had interests in 71 real estate properties (the “Properties”). The Properties are comprised of 41 office buildings totaling approximately 10.5 million square feet and leased to approximately 325 tenants (which include two buildings, aggregating approximately 0.2 million square feet owned by unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Company has investment interests), 22 multi-family properties, totaling 6,850 apartment units (which include seven properties aggregating 2,611 apartment units owned by unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Company has investment interests), four parking/retail properties totaling approximately 108,000 square feet (which include a building aggregating 51,000 square feet owned by unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Company has investment interests), three hotels containing 723 rooms (one of which is owned by an unconsolidated joint venture in which the Company has an investment interest) and a parcel of land leased to a third party. The Properties are located in four states in the Northeast, plus the District of Columbia.

On December 19, 2019, the Company announced that its Board had determined to sell the Company’s entire suburban New Jersey office portfolio totaling approximately 6.6 million square feet (collectively, the “Suburban Office Portfolio”).  As the decision to sell the Suburban Office Portfolio represented a strategic shift in the Company’s operations, the portfolio’s results are being classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented herein. See Note 7: Discontinued Operations.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include all accounts of the Company, its majority-owned and/or controlled subsidiaries, which consist principally of the Operating Partnership and variable interest entities for which the Company has determined itself to be the primary beneficiary, if any. See Note 2: Significant Accounting Policies – Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures, for the Company’s treatment of unconsolidated joint venture interests. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, Consolidation, provides guidance on the identification of entities for which control is achieved through means other than voting rights (“variable interest entities” or “VIEs”) and the determination of which business enterprise, if any, should consolidate the VIEs. Generally, the consideration of whether an entity is a VIE applies when either: (1) the equity investors (if any) lack (i) the ability to make decisions about the entity’s activities through voting or similar rights, (ii) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity, or (iii) the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity; (2) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support; or (3) the equity investors have voting rights that are not proportionate to their economic interests and substantially all of the activities of the entity involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor with a disproportionately small voting interest. The Company consolidates VIEs in which it is considered to be the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is defined by the entity having both of the following characteristics: (1) the power to direct the activities that, when taken together, most significantly impact the variable interest entity’s performance: and (2) the obligation to absorb losses and right to receive the returns from the VIE that would be significant to the VIE.

On January 1, 2016, the Company adopted accounting guidance under ASC 810, Consolidation, modifying the analysis it must perform to determine whether it should consolidate certain types of legal entities. The guidance does not amend the existing disclosure requirements for variable interest entities or voting interest model entities. The guidance, however, modified the requirements to qualify under the voting interest model. Under the revised guidance, the Operating Partnership will be a variable interest entity of the parent

company, Mack-Cali Realty Corporation. As the Operating Partnership is already consolidated in the balance sheets of Mack-Cali Realty Corporation, the identification of this entity as a variable interest entity has no impact on the consolidated financial statements of Mack-Cali Realty Corporation. There were no other legal entities qualifying under the scope of the revised guidance that were consolidated as a result of the adoption.

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company’s investments in consolidated real estate joint ventures, which are variable interest entities in which the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary, other than Roseland Residential, L.P. (See Note 15: Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests – Rockpoint Transaction), have total real estate assets of $503.4 million and $503.1 million, respectively, mortgages of $283.7 million and $283.7 million, respectively, and other liabilities of $19.6 million and $18.9 million, respectively. 

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP. 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 reporting period. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s historical experience that are believed to be reasonable at the time. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts in order to conform with current period presentation, primarily related to classification of certain properties as discontinued operations.

Line of Credit Facility [Line Items]
Terms of the unsecured facility					The 2017 Credit Agreement, which applies to both the 2017 Credit Facility and 2017 Term Loan, includes certain restrictions and covenants which limit, among other things the incurrence of additional indebtedness, the incurrence of liens and the disposition of real estate properties (to the extent that: (i) such property dispositions cause the Company to default on any of the financial ratios of the 2017 Credit Agreement (described below), or (ii) the property dispositions are completed while the Company is under an event of default under the 2017 Credit Agreement, unless, under certain circumstances, such disposition is being carried out to cure such default), and which require compliance with financial ratios relating to the maximum leverage ratio (60 percent), the maximum amount of secured indebtedness (40 percent), the minimum amount of fixed charge coverage (1.5 times), the maximum amount of unsecured indebtedness (60 percent), the minimum amount of unencumbered property interest coverage (2.0 times) and certain investment limitations (generally 15 percent of total capitalization).
Terms of dividend restriction					The 2017 Credit Agreement contains “change of control” provisions that permit the lenders to declare a default and require the immediate repayment of all outstanding borrowings under the 2017 Credit Facility. These change of control provisions, which have been an event of default under the agreements governing the Company’s revolving credit facilities since June 2000, are triggered if, among other things, a majority of the seats on the Board of Directors (other than vacant seats) become occupied by directors who were neither nominated by the Board Directors nor appointed by a majority of directors nominated by the Board of Directors. Furthermore, the agreements governing the Company's Senior Unsecured Notes include cross-acceleration provisions that would constitute an event of default requiring immediate repayment of the Notes if the change of control provisions under the 2017 Credit Facility are triggered and the lenders declare a default and exercise their rights under the 2017 Credit Facility and accelerate repayment of the outstanding borrowings thereunder. In addition, construction loans secured by two multi-family residential property development projects contain cross-acceleration provisions similar to those in the agreements governing the Notes for defaults by the Company.  If these change of control provisions were triggered, the Company could seek a forbearance, waiver or amendment of the change of control provisions from the lenders, however there can be no assurance that the Company would be able to obtain such forbearance, waiver or amendment on acceptable terms or at all. If an event of default has occurred and is continuing, the entire outstanding balance under the 2017 Credit Agreement may (or, in the case of any bankruptcy event of default, shall) become immediately due and payable, and the Company will not make any excess distributions except to enable the General Partner to continue to qualify as a REIT under the IRS Code.

Each of the 2017 Credit Agreement Amendment and the 2016 Term Loan Amendment was effective as of June 30, 2018 and provided for the following material amendments to the terms of both the 2017 Credit Agreement and 2016 Term Loan: 1.The unsecured debt ratio covenant has been modified with respect to the measurement of the unencumbered collateral pool of assets in the calculation of such ratio for the period commencing July 1, 2018 and continuing until December 31, 2019 to allow the Operating Partnership to utilize the “as-is” appraised value of the properties known as ‘Harborside Plaza I’ and ‘Harborside Plaza V’ properties located in Jersey City, NJ in such calculation; and2.A new covenant has been added that prohibits the Company from making any optional or voluntary payment, repayment, repurchase or redemption of any unsecured indebtedness of the Company (or any subsidiaries) that matures after January 25, 2022, at any time when any of the Total Leverage Ratio or the unsecured debt ratio covenants exceeds 60 percent (all as defined in the 2017 Credit Agreement and the 2016 Term Loan) or an appraisal is being used to determine the value of Harborside Plaza I and Harborside Plaza V for the unsecured debt ratio covenant.

Noncontrolling Interests In Subsidiaries

17.    NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS IN SUBSIDIARIES

Noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries in the accompanying consolidated financial statements relate to (i) common units (“Common Units”) and LTIP units in the Operating Partnership, held by parties other than the General Partner (“Limited Partners”), and (ii) interests in consolidated joint ventures for the portion of such ventures not owned by the Company.

The following table reflects the activity of noncontrolling interests for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively (dollars in thousands):

		Three Months Ended

Rebalancing of ownership percentage between parent and subsidiaries		(742)		1,563
Balance at March 31	$	198,017	$	239,149

Pursuant to ASC 810, Consolidation, on the accounting and reporting for noncontrolling interests and changes in ownership interests of a subsidiary, changes in a parent’s ownership interest (and transactions with noncontrolling interests unitholders in the subsidiary) while the parent retains its controlling interest in its subsidiary should be accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying value of the noncontrolling interests shall be adjusted to reflect the change in its ownership interest in the subsidiary, with the offset to equity attributable to the parent. Accordingly, as a result of equity transactions which caused changes in ownership percentages between Mack-Cali Realty Corporation stockholders’ equity and noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company has decreased noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership and increased additional paid-in capital in Mack-Cali Realty Corporation stockholders’ equity by approximately $0.7 million as of March 31, 2020.

NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS IN OPERATING PARTNERSHIP (applicable only to General Partner)

Common Units

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company redeemed for cash 97,727 common units at their fair market value of $2.1 million.

Certain individuals and entities own common units in the Operating Partnership. A common unit and a share of Common Stock of the General Partner have substantially the same economic characteristics in as much as they effectively share equally in the net income or loss of the Operating Partnership. Common unitholders have the right to redeem their common units, subject to certain restrictions. The redemption is required to be satisfied in shares of Common Stock, cash, or a combination thereof, calculated as follows: one share of the General Partner’s Common Stock, or cash equal to the fair market value of a share of the General Partner’s Common Stock at the time of redemption, for each common unit. The General Partner, in its sole discretion, determines the form of redemption of common units (i.e., whether a common unitholder receives Common Stock, cash, or any combination thereof). If the General Partner elects to satisfy the redemption with shares of Common Stock as opposed to cash, it is obligated to issue shares of its Common Stock to the redeeming unitholder. Regardless of the rights described above, the common unitholders may not put their units for cash to the General Partner or the Operating Partnership under any circumstances. When a unitholder redeems a common unit, noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership is reduced and Mack-Cali Realty Corporation Stockholders’ equity is increased.

LTIP Units

On March 8, 2016, the Company granted 2016 LTIP Awards to senior management of the Company, including the General Partner’s executive officers. On April 4, 2017, the Company granted 2017 LTIP Awards to senior management of the Company, including the General Partner’s executive officers. On April 20, 2018, the Company granted 2018 LTIP Awards to senior management of the Company, including the General Partner’s executive officers. On March 22, 2019, the Company granted 2019 LTIP Awards to senior management of the Company, including the General Partner’s executive officers. On March 24, 2020, the Company granted 2020 LTIP Awards to senior management of the Company, including the General Partner’s executive officers. All of the 2016 LTIP Awards, 2017 LTIP Awards, 2018 LTIP Awards, 2019 LTIP Awards and 2020 LTIP Awards are in the form of units in the Operating Partnership. See Note 16: Mack-Cali Realty Corporation Stockholders’ Equity and Mack-Cali Realty, L.P.’s Partners’ Capital – Long-Term Incentive Plan Awards.

LTIP Units are designed to qualify as “profits interests” in the Operating Partnership for federal income tax purposes. As a general matter, the profits interests characteristics of the LTIP Units mean that initially they will not be economically equivalent in value to a common unit. If and when events specified by applicable tax regulations occur, LTIP Units can over time increase in value up to the point where they are equivalent to common units on a one-for-one basis. After LTIP Units are fully vested, and to the extent the special tax rules applicable to profits interests have allowed them to become equivalent in value to common units, LTIP Units may be converted on a one-for-one basis into common units. Common units in turn have a one-for-one relationship in value with shares of the General Partner’s common stock, and are redeemable on a one-for-one basis for cash or, at the election of the Company, shares of the General Partner’s common stock.

AO LTIP Units (Appreciation-Only LTIP Units)

On March 13, 2019, the Company granted 625,000 AO LTIP Units to Mr. DeMarco pursuant to the AO Long Term Incentive Plan Award Agreement. See Note 16: Mack-Cali Realty Corporation Stockholders’ Equity and Mack-Cali Realty, L.P.’s Partners’ Capital – AO LTIP Units (Appreciation-Only LTIP Units).

AO LTIP Units are a class of partnership interests in the Operating Partnership that are intended to qualify as “profit interests” for federal income tax purposes and generally only allow the recipient to realize value to the extent the fair market value of a share of Common Stock exceeds the threshold level set at the time the AO LTIP Units are granted, subject to any vesting conditions applicable to the award. The value of vested AO LTIP Units is realized through conversion of the AO LTIP Units into Common Units. The number of Common Units into which vested AO LTIP Units may be converted is determined based on the quotient of (i) the excess of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the conversion date over the threshold level designated at the time the AO LTIP Unit was granted, divided by (ii) the fair market value of the Common Stock on the conversion date. AO LTIP Units, once vested, have a finite term during which they may be converted into Common Units, not in excess of ten years from the grant date of the AO LTIP Units.

The following table sets forth the changes in noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries which relate to the Common Units and LTIP Units in the Operating Partnership for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Noncontrolling Interests Ownership in Operating Partnership

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the noncontrolling interests common unitholders owned 9.5 percent and 9.6 percent of the Operating Partnership, respectively.

NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS IN CONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURES (applicable to General Partner and Operating Partnership)

PARTICIPATION RIGHTS

The Company’s interests in certain real estate projects (one property and one potential future development) each provide for the initial distributions of net cash flow solely to the Company, and thereafter, other parties have participation rights in 50 percent of the excess net cash flow remaining after the distribution to the Company of the aggregate amount equal to the sum of: (a) the Company’s capital contributions, plus (b) an IRR of 10 percent per annum.

Pursuant to ASC 810, Consolidation, on the accounting and reporting for noncontrolling interests and changes in ownership interests of a subsidiary, changes in a parent’s ownership interest (and transactions with noncontrolling interests unitholders in the subsidiary) while the parent retains its controlling interest in its subsidiary should be accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying value of the noncontrolling interests shall be adjusted to reflect the change in its ownership interest in the subsidiary, with the offset to equity attributable to the parent. Accordingly, as a result of equity transactions which caused changes in ownership percentages between Mack-Cali Realty Corporation stockholders’ equity and noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company has decreased noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership and increased additional paid-in capital in Mack-Cali Realty Corporation stockholders’ equity by approximately $0.7 million as of March 31, 2020.

NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS IN OPERATING PARTNERSHIP (applicable only to General Partner)

Common Units

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company redeemed for cash 97,727 common units at their fair market value of $2.1 million.

Certain individuals and entities own common units in the Operating Partnership. A common unit and a share of Common Stock of the General Partner have substantially the same economic characteristics in as much as they effectively share equally in the net income or loss of the Operating Partnership. Common unitholders have the right to redeem their common units, subject to certain restrictions. The redemption is required to be satisfied in shares of Common Stock, cash, or a combination thereof, calculated as follows: one share of the General Partner’s Common Stock, or cash equal to the fair market value of a share of the General Partner’s Common Stock at the time of redemption, for each common unit. The General Partner, in its sole discretion, determines the form of redemption of common units (i.e., whether a common unitholder receives Common Stock, cash, or any combination thereof). If the General Partner elects to satisfy the redemption with shares of Common Stock as opposed to cash, it is obligated to issue shares of its Common Stock to the redeeming unitholder. Regardless of the rights described above, the common unitholders may not put their units for cash to the General Partner or the Operating Partnership under any circumstances. When a unitholder redeems a common unit, noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership is reduced and Mack-Cali Realty Corporation Stockholders’ equity is increased.

LTIP Units

On March 8, 2016, the Company granted 2016 LTIP Awards to senior management of the Company, including the General Partner’s executive officers. On April 4, 2017, the Company granted 2017 LTIP Awards to senior management of the Company, including the General Partner’s executive officers. On April 20, 2018, the Company granted 2018 LTIP Awards to senior management of the Company, including the General Partner’s executive officers. On March 22, 2019, the Company granted 2019 LTIP Awards to senior management of the Company, including the General Partner’s executive officers. On March 24, 2020, the Company granted 2020 LTIP Awards to senior management of the Company, including the General Partner’s executive officers. All of the 2016 LTIP Awards, 2017 LTIP Awards, 2018 LTIP Awards, 2019 LTIP Awards and 2020 LTIP Awards are in the form of units in the Operating Partnership. See Note 16: Mack-Cali Realty Corporation Stockholders’ Equity and Mack-Cali Realty, L.P.’s Partners’ Capital – Long-Term Incentive Plan Awards.

LTIP Units are designed to qualify as “profits interests” in the Operating Partnership for federal income tax purposes. As a general matter, the profits interests characteristics of the LTIP Units mean that initially they will not be economically equivalent in value to a common unit. If and when events specified by applicable tax regulations occur, LTIP Units can over time increase in value up to the point where they are equivalent to common units on a one-for-one basis. After LTIP Units are fully vested, and to the extent the special tax rules applicable to profits interests have allowed them to become equivalent in value to common units, LTIP Units may be converted on a one-for-one basis into common units. Common units in turn have a one-for-one relationship in value with shares of the General Partner’s common stock, and are redeemable on a one-for-one basis for cash or, at the election of the Company, shares of the General Partner’s common stock.

AO LTIP Units (Appreciation-Only LTIP Units)

On March 13, 2019, the Company granted 625,000 AO LTIP Units to Mr. DeMarco pursuant to the AO Long Term Incentive Plan Award Agreement. See Note 16: Mack-Cali Realty Corporation Stockholders’ Equity and Mack-Cali Realty, L.P.’s Partners’ Capital – AO LTIP Units (Appreciation-Only LTIP Units).

AO LTIP Units are a class of partnership interests in the Operating Partnership that are intended to qualify as “profit interests” for federal income tax purposes and generally only allow the recipient to realize value to the extent the fair market value of a share of Common Stock exceeds the threshold level set at the time the AO LTIP Units are granted, subject to any vesting conditions applicable to the award. The value of vested AO LTIP Units is realized through conversion of the AO LTIP Units into Common Units. The number of Common Units into which vested AO LTIP Units may be converted is determined based on the quotient of (i) the excess of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the conversion date over the threshold level designated at the time the AO LTIP Unit was granted, divided by (ii) the fair market value of the Common Stock on the conversion date. AO LTIP Units, once vested, have a finite term during which they may be converted into Common Units, not in excess of ten years from the grant date of the AO LTIP Units.

Noncontrolling Interests Ownership in Operating Partnership

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the noncontrolling interests common unitholders owned 9.5 percent and 9.6 percent of the Operating Partnership, respectively.

NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS IN CONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURES (applicable to General Partner and Operating Partnership)

PARTICIPATION RIGHTS

The Company’s interests in certain real estate projects (one property and one potential future development) each provide for the initial distributions of net cash flow solely to the Company, and thereafter, other parties have participation rights in 50 percent of the excess net cash flow remaining after the distribution to the Company of the aggregate amount equal to the sum of: (a) the Company’s capital contributions, plus (b) an IRR of 10 percent per annum.

Fair Value Disclosures [Line Items]

Disclosure Of Fair Value Of Assets And Liabilities

12.    DISCLOSURE OF FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

The following disclosure of estimated fair value was determined by management using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize on disposition of the assets and liabilities at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

Cash equivalents, receivables, notes receivables, accounts payable, and accrued expenses and other liabilities are carried at amounts which reasonably approximate their fair values as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt, consisting of senior unsecured notes, unsecured term loans, an unsecured revolving credit facility and mortgages, loans payable and other obligations aggregated approximately $2,919,633,000 and $2,791,629,000 as compared to the book value of approximately $2,877,121,000 and $2,808,517,000 as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was categorized as a level 3 basis (as provided by ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures). The fair value was estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis valuation based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms and maturities. The fair value of the mortgage debt and the unsecured notes was determined by discounting the future contractual interest and principal payments by a market rate. Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivative financial instruments fall within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivative financial instruments utilize level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. The Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivative financial instruments. As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative financial instruments valuations in their entirety are classified in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value measurements used in the evaluation of the Company’s rental properties are considered to be Level 3 valuations within the fair value hierarchy, as there are significant unobservable inputs. Examples of inputs that were utilized in the fair value calculations include, but are not limited to estimated holding periods, discount rates, market capitalization rates, expected lease rental rates, third party broker information and information from potential buyers, as applicable.

Valuations of real estate identified as held for sale are based on estimated sale prices, net of estimated selling costs, of such property. In the absence of an executed sales agreement with a set sales price, management’s estimate of the net sales price may be based on a number of unobservable assumptions/inputs, including but not limited to the Company’s estimates of future and stabilized cash flows,

market capitalization rates and discount rates, if applicable. For developable land, an estimated per-unit market value assumption is also considered based on development rights for the land.

As of March 31, 2020, inputs and assumptions included

	Primary Valuation	Unobservable	Location	Range of
Description	Techniques	Inputs	Type	Rates
Office properties held for sale on which the Company recognized impairment losses	Discounted cash flows	Discount rates	Suburban	7.5% - 9.6%
		Exit Capitalization rates	Suburban	7.5% - 9%
		Market rental rates per square foot	Suburban	$26.00 - $50.00
Land properties held for sale on which the Company recognized impairment losses	Developable units and market rate per unit	Market rates per residential unit	Suburban	$26,500 - $35,000
		Market rates per square foot	Suburban	$15.00 - $25.00

The Company identified as held for sale 34 office properties (comprised of 12 disposal groups), a retail pad leased to others and several developable land parcels as held for sale as of March 31, 2020 with an aggregate carrying value of $898 million. As a result of recent sales contract amendments and after considering the current market conditions as a result of the challenging economic climate with the current worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, the Company determined that the carrying value of 20 of the properties (comprised of four disposal groups) and several land parcels was not expected to be recovered from estimated net sales proceeds and accordingly recognized an unrealized loss allowance of $53.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and land impairments of $5.3 million.

Disclosure about fair value of assets and liabilities is based on pertinent information available to management as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since March 31, 2020 and current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.

The recent outbreak of COVID-19 worldwide has significantly slowed global economic activity and caused significant volatility in financial markets.  As such, there is currently significant uncertainty around the breadth and duration of business disruptions related to COVID-19, as well as its impact on the U.S. economy.  The current economic environment can and will be significantly adversely affected by many factors beyond the Company’s control. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts the Company’s fair value estimates in the future will depend on developments going forward, many of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.   In consideration of the magnitude of such uncertainties under the current climate, Management has considered all available information at its properties and in the marketplace to provide its estimates as of March 31, 2020.

Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivative financial instruments fall within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivative financial instruments utilize level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. The Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivative financial instruments. As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative financial instruments valuations in their entirety are classified in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value measurements used in the evaluation of the Company’s rental properties are considered to be Level 3 valuations within the fair value hierarchy, as there are significant unobservable inputs. Examples of inputs that were utilized in the fair value calculations include, but are not limited to estimated holding periods, discount rates, market capitalization rates, expected lease rental rates, third party broker information and information from potential buyers, as applicable.

Valuations of real estate identified as held for sale are based on estimated sale prices, net of estimated selling costs, of such property. In the absence of an executed sales agreement with a set sales price, management’s estimate of the net sales price may be based on a number of unobservable assumptions/inputs, including but not limited to the Company’s estimates of future and stabilized cash flows,

market capitalization rates and discount rates, if applicable. For developable land, an estimated per-unit market value assumption is also considered based on development rights for the land.

As of March 31, 2020, inputs and assumptions included

	Primary Valuation	Unobservable	Location	Range of
Description	Techniques	Inputs	Type	Rates
Office properties held for sale on which the Company recognized impairment losses	Discounted cash flows	Discount rates	Suburban	7.5% - 9.6%
		Exit Capitalization rates	Suburban	7.5% - 9%
		Market rental rates per square foot	Suburban	$26.00 - $50.00
Land properties held for sale on which the Company recognized impairment losses	Developable units and market rate per unit	Market rates per residential unit	Suburban	$26,500 - $35,000
		Market rates per square foot	Suburban	$15.00 - $25.00

The Company identified as held for sale 34 office properties (comprised of 12 disposal groups), a retail pad leased to others and several developable land parcels as held for sale as of March 31, 2020 with an aggregate carrying value of $898 million. As a result of recent sales contract amendments and after considering the current market conditions as a result of the challenging economic climate with the current worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, the Company determined that the carrying value of 20 of the properties (comprised of four disposal groups) and several land parcels was not expected to be recovered from estimated net sales proceeds and accordingly recognized an unrealized loss allowance of $53.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and land impairments of $5.3 million.

Disclosure about fair value of assets and liabilities is based on pertinent information available to management as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since March 31, 2020 and current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.

The recent outbreak of COVID-19 worldwide has significantly slowed global economic activity and caused significant volatility in financial markets.  As such, there is currently significant uncertainty around the breadth and duration of business disruptions related to COVID-19, as well as its impact on the U.S. economy.  The current economic environment can and will be significantly adversely affected by many factors beyond the Company’s control. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts the Company’s fair value estimates in the future will depend on developments going forward, many of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.   In consideration of the magnitude of such uncertainties under the current climate, Management has considered all available information at its properties and in the marketplace to provide its estimates as of March 31, 2020.

Mack-Cali Realty Corporation Stockholders' Equity And Mack-Cali Realty, L.P.'s Partners' Capital

16.     MACK-CALI REALTY CORPORATION STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND MACK-CALI REALTY, L.P.’S PARTNERS’ CAPITAL

To maintain its qualification as a REIT, not more than 50 percent in value of the outstanding shares of the General Partner may be owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals at any time during the last half of any taxable year of the General Partner, other than its initial taxable year (defined to include certain entities), applying certain constructive ownership rules. To help ensure that the General Partner will not fail this test, the General Partner’s Charter provides, among other things, certain restrictions on the transfer of common stock to prevent further concentration of stock ownership. Moreover, to evidence compliance with these requirements, the General Partner must maintain records that disclose the actual ownership of its outstanding common stock and demands written statements each year from the holders of record of designated percentages of its common stock requesting the disclosure of the beneficial owners of such common stock.

Partners’ Capital in the accompanying consolidated financial statements relates to (a) General Partners’ capital consisting of common units in the Operating Partnership held by the General Partner, and (b) Limited Partners’ capital consisting of common units and LTIP units held by the limited partners. See Note 17: Noncontrolling Interests in Subsidiaries.

The following table reflects the activity of the General Partner capital for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively (dollars in thousands):

Any transactions resulting in the issuance of additional common and preferred stock of the General Partner result in a corresponding issuance by the Operating Partnership of an equivalent amount of common and preferred units to the General Partner.

SHARE/UNIT REPURCHASE PROGRAM

In September 2012, the Board of Directors of the General Partner renewed and authorized an increase to the General Partner’s repurchase program (“Repurchase Program”). The General Partner has authorization to repurchase up to $150 million of its outstanding common stock under the renewed Repurchase Program, which it may repurchase from time to time in open market transactions at prevailing prices or through privately negotiated transactions. As of March 31, 2020, the General Partner has repurchased and retired 394,625 shares of its outstanding common stock for an aggregate cost of approximately $11 million (all of which occurred in the year ended December 31, 2012), with a remaining authorization under the Repurchase Program of $139 million. Concurrent with these repurchases, the General Partner sold to the Operating Partnership common units for approximately $11 million.

DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT AND STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

The General Partner has a Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan (the “DRIP”) which commenced in March 1999 under which approximately 5.5 million shares of the General Partner’s common stock have been reserved for future issuance. The DRIP provides for automatic reinvestment of all or a portion of a participant’s dividends from the General Partner’s shares of common stock. The DRIP also permits participants to make optional cash investments up to $5,000 a month without restriction and, if the Company waives

this limit, for additional amounts subject to certain restrictions and other conditions set forth in the DRIP prospectus filed as part of the Company’s effective registration statement on Form S-3 filed with the SEC for the approximately 5.5 million shares of the General Partner’s common stock reserved for issuance under the DRIP.

STOCK OPTION PLANS

In May 2013, the General Partner established the 2013 Incentive Stock Plan (the “2013 Plan”) under which a total of 4,600,000 shares have been reserved for issuance.

On June 5, 2015, in connection with employment agreements entered into with each of Messrs. Rudin and DeMarco (together, the “Executive Employment Agreements”), the Company granted options to purchase a total of 800,000 shares of the General Partner’s common stock, exercisable for a period of ten years with an exercise price equal to the closing price of the General Partner’s common stock on the grant date of $17.31 per share, with 400,000 of such options vesting in three equal annual installments commencing on the first anniversary of the grant date (“Time Vesting Options”) and fully vesting on June 5, 2018, and 400,000 of such options vesting if the General Partner’s common stock traded at or above $25.00 per share for 30 consecutive trading days while the executive is employed (“Price Vesting Options”), or on or before June 30, 2019, subject to certain conditions. The Price Vesting Options vested on July 5, 2016 on account of the price vesting condition being achieved.

AO LTIP UNITS (Appreciation-Only LTIP Units)

Pursuant to the terms of the DeMarco employment agreement, the Company entered into an AO Long-Term Incentive Plan Award Agreement (the “AO LTIP Award Agreement”) with Mr. DeMarco on March 13, 2019 that provided for the grant to Mr. DeMarco of 625,000 AO LTIP Units. AO LTIP Units are a class of partnership interests in the Operating Partnership that are intended to qualify as “profits interests” for federal income tax purposes and generally only allow the recipient to realize value to the extent the fair market value of a share of Common Stock exceeds the threshold level set at the time the AO LTIP Units are granted, subject to any vesting conditions applicable to the award. The threshold level was fixed at $21.46 in the AO LTIP Award Agreement, the closing price of the Common Stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) on the date of grant. The value of vested AO LTIP Units is realized through conversion of the AO LTIP Units into common units of limited partnership interests of the Operating Partnership (the “Common Units”). The number of Common Units into which vested AO LTIP Units may be converted is determined based on the

quotient of (i) the excess of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the conversion date over the threshold level designated at the time the AO LTIP Unit was granted (i.e., $21.46), divided by (ii) the fair market value of the Common Stock on the conversion date. AO LTIP Units, once vested, have a finite term during which they may be converted into Common Units, within ten years from the grant date of the AO LTIP Units or they are forfeited. In addition, the AO LTIP Units issued to Mr. DeMarco are subject to the following vesting conditions:

(i) 250,000 of the AO LTIP Units shall vest and become exercisable on the earliest date on which the closing price of the Common Stock, as reported on the NYSE, or if the Common Stock is not then traded on the NYSE, then the closing price of the Common Stock on any other securities exchange on which the Common Stock is traded or quoted (the “Securities Market”), has been equal to or greater than $25.00 per share for at least 30 consecutive trading days, provided that such date occurs prior to March 13, 2023 (the “Outside Date”);

(ii) an additional 250,000 of the AO LTIP Units shall vest and become exercisable on the earliest date on which the closing price of the Common Stock, as reported on the NYSE, or if the Common Stock is not then traded on the NYSE, then the closing price of the Common Stock on the Securities Market, has been equal to or greater than $28.00 per share for at least 30 consecutive trading days, provided that such date occurs prior to the Outside Date; and

(iii) an additional 125,000 of the AO LTIP Units shall vest and become exercisable on the earliest date on which the closing price of the Common Stock, as reported on the NYSE, or if the Common Stock is not then traded on the NYSE, then the closing price of the Common Stock on the Securities Market, has been equal to or greater than $31.00 per share for at least 30 consecutive trading days, provided that such date occurs prior to the Outside Date.

Mr. DeMarco will generally receive special income allocations in respect of an AO LTIP Unit equal to 10 percent (or such other percentage specified in the applicable award agreement) of the income allocated in respect of a Common Unit. Upon conversion of AO LTIP Units to Common Units, Mr. DeMarco will be entitled to receive in respect of each such AO LTIP Unit, on a per unit basis, a special cash distribution equal to 10% (or such other percentage specified in the applicable award agreement) of the distributions received by a holder of an equivalent number of Common Units during the period from the grant date of the AO LTIP Units through the date of conversion. The Company has reserved shares of common stock under the 2013 Plan for issuance upon vesting and conversion of the AO LTIP Units in accordance with their terms and conditions.

The weighted average fair value of the AO LTIP Units granted during the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $3.98 per AO LTIP Unit. The fair value of each AO LTIP Unit grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Monte Carlo method. The following weighted average assumptions are included in the Company’s fair value calculations of AO LTIP Units granted during the three months ended March 31, 2019:

	AO LTIP
	Units
Expected life (in years)	5.5 - 6.0
Risk-free interest rate	2.6	%
Volatility	29.0	%
Dividend yield	3.5	%

As of March 31, 2020, the Company had $1.8 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested AO LTIP Units granted under the Company’s stock compensation plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted average period of 2.9 years. The Company recognized AO LTIP unit expense of $155,000 and $32,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS

The Company has issued stock awards (“Restricted Stock Awards”) to officers, certain other employees and non-employee members of the Board of Directors of the General Partner, which allow the holders to each receive a certain amount of shares of the General Partner’s common stock generally over a one year to seven year vesting period, of which 42,690 unvested shares were legally outstanding at March 31, 2020. Vesting of the Restricted Stock Awards issued is based on time and service.

On June 5, 2015, in connection with the new executive employment agreements signed at that time, the Company granted a total of 37,550.54 Restricted Stock Awards, which were valued in accordance with ASC 718 – Stock Compensation, at their fair value. These awards vested equally over a three year period on each annual anniversary date of the grant date.

All currently outstanding and unvested Restricted Stock Awards provided to the officers, certain other employees, and members of the Board of Directors of the General Partner were issued under the 2013 Plan.

Information regarding the Restricted Stock Awards grant activity is summarized below for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively:

			Weighted-Average
			Grant – Date
	Shares		Fair Value
Outstanding at January 1, 2020	42,690	$	21.08

As of March 31, 2020, the Company had 0.3 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested Restricted Stock Awards granted under the Company’s stock compensation plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.2 years.

PERFORMANCE SHARE UNITS

On June 5, 2015, in connection with the new executive employment agreements signed at that time, the Company granted a total of 112,651.64 performance share units (“PSUs”) which was to vest from 0 to 150 percent of the number of PSUs granted based on the Company’s total shareholder return relative to a peer group of equity office REITs over a three year performance period starting from the grant date, each PSU evidencing the right to receive a share of the General Partner’s common stock upon vesting. The PSUs were also entitled to the payment of dividend equivalents in respect of vested PSUs in the form of additional PSUs. The PSUs were valued in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, at their fair value on the grant date, utilizing a Monte-Carlo simulation to estimate the probability of the vesting conditions being satisfied. The PSUs vested at 100 percent on June 5, 2018 based on the calculation of the achievement of the Company’s total shareholder return, for which shares of the General Partner’s common stock were issued under the 2013 Plan.

As of March 31, 2020, the Company had no unrecognized compensation cost as there are no unvested PSUs outstanding under the Company’s stock compensation plans.

LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN AWARDS

On March 8, 2016, the Company granted Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) awards to senior management of the Company, including the General Partner’s executive officers (the “2016 LTIP Awards”).

Participants in the 2016 OPP would only earn the full awards if, over the three year performance period, the Company achieves a 50 percent absolute total stockholder return (“TSR”) and if the Company is in the 75th percentile of performance versus the NAREIT Office Index. As the targets for vesting were not achieved, the 2016 PBV LTIP Units did not vest and were forfeited.

On April 4, 2017, the Company granted LTIP awards to senior management of the Company, including the General Partner’s executive officers (the “2017 LTIP Awards”).

As the targets for vesting were not achieved, the 2017 PBV LTIP Units did not vest and were forfeited.

On April 20, 2018, the Company granted LTIP awards to senior management of the Company, including the General Partner’s executive officers (the “2018 LTIP Awards”).

For Mr. DeMarco, approximately 25 percent of the target 2019 LTIP Awards were in the form of time-based LTIP Units that vest after three years on March 22, 2022 (the “2019 TBV LTIP Units”), and the remaining approximately 75 percent of the grant date fair value of his 2019 LTIP Award will be in the form of performance-based LTIP Units under the Company’s Outperformance Plan (the “2019 OPP”) adopted by the General Partner’s Board of Directors, consisting of a multi-year, performance-based equity compensation plan and related forms of award agreement (the “2019 PBV LTIP Units”).

Mr. DeBari, who was promoted to Chief Accounting Officer on March 13, 2019, received 100 percent of his 2019 LTIP Award in the form of 2019 TBV LTIP Units.

The 2019 OPP was designed to align the interests of senior management to relative and absolute performance of the Company over a three year performance period from March 22, 2019 through March 21, 2022. Participants of performance-based awards in the 2019 OPP will only earn the full awards if, over the three year performance period, the Company achieves a thirty-six percent (36%) absolute total stockholder return (“TSR”) and if the Company’s TSR is in the 75th percentile of performance as compared to the office REITs in the NAREIT index.

On March 24, 2020, the Company granted LTIP awards to senior management of the Company, including the General Partner’s executive officers (the “2020 LTIP Awards”). All of the 2020 LTIP Awards were in the form of LTIP Units and constitute awards under the 2013 Plan. All of the target 2020 LTIP Awards were in the form of performance-based LTIP Units under the Company’s Outperformance Plan (the “2020 OPP”) adopted by the General Partner’s Board of Directors, consisting of a multi-year, performance-based equity compensation plan and related forms of award agreement (the “2020 PBV LTIP Units”).

The 2020 OPP was designed to align the interests of senior management to relative and absolute performance of the Company over a three year performance period from March 24, 2020 through March 23, 2023. Participants of performance-based awards in the 2020 OPP will only earn the full awards if, over the three year performance period, the Company achieves a thirty-six percent (36%) absolute total stockholder return (“TSR”) and if the Company’s TSR is in the 75th percentile of performance as compared to the REITs in the NAREIT index.

LTIP Units will remain subject to forfeiture depending on the extent that the 2017 LTIP Awards, 2018 LTIP Awards, 2019 LTIP Awards and 2020 LTIP Awards vest. The number of LTIP Units to be issued initially to recipients of the 2017 PBV LTIP Awards, 2018 PBV LTIP Awards, 2019 PBV LTIP Awards and 2020 PBV LTIP Awards is the maximum number of LTIP Units that may be earned under the awards. The number of LTIP Units that actually vest for each award recipient will be determined at the end of the performance measurement period. TSR for the Company and for the Index over the three year measurement period and other circumstances will determine how many LTIP Units vest for each recipient; if they are fewer than the number issued initially, the balance will be forfeited as of the performance measurement date.

Prior to vesting, recipients of LTIP Units will be entitled to receive per unit distributions equal to one-tenth (10 percent) of the regular quarterly distributions payable on a Common Unit but will not be entitled to receive any special distributions. Distributions with respect to the other nine-tenths (90 percent) of regular quarterly distributions payable on a common unit will accrue but shall only become payable upon vesting of the LTIP Unit. After vesting of the 2017 TBV LTIP Units, 2018 TBV LTIP Units and 2019 TBV LTIP Units or the end of the measurement period for the 2017 PBV LTIP Units, 2018 PBV LTIP Units, 2019 PBV LTIP Units and 2020 PBV LTIP Units, the number of LTIP Units, both vested and unvested, will be entitled to receive distributions in an amount per unit equal to distributions, both regular and special, payable on a Common Unit.

As a result of targets not being achieved or management and other personnel changes during the three months ended March 31, 2020, the employees forfeited and cancelled 3,008 2017 LTIP Awards, 6,572 2018 LTIP Awards, and 5,693 2019 LTIP Awards. As of March 31, 2020, a total of 11,155 2016 PBV LTIP Units, 75,578 2016 TBV LTIP Units, 388,408 2017 PBV LTIP Units, 79,672 2017 TBV LTIP Units, 629,252 2018 PBV LTIP Units, 186,645 2018 TBV LTIP Units, 392,476 2019 PBV LTIP Units, 167,454 2019 TBV LTIP Units, and 1,287,568 2020 PBV LTIP Units, net of LTIP Units forfeited and cancelled, were outstanding. The LTIP Units were valued in accordance with ASC 718 – Stock Compensation, at their fair value. The Company has reserved shares of common stock under the 2013 Plan for issuance upon vesting and conversion of the LTIP Units in accordance with their terms and conditions.

As of March 31, 2020, the Company had $19.7 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested LTIP awards granted under the Company’s stock compensation plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.8 years.

DEFERRED STOCK COMPENSATION PLAN FOR DIRECTORS

The Amended and Restated Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors, which commenced January 1, 1999, allows non-employee directors of the Company to elect to defer up to 100 percent of their annual retainer fee into deferred stock units. The deferred stock units are convertible into an equal number of shares of common stock upon the directors’ termination of service from the Board of Directors or a change in control of the Company, as defined in the plan. Pursuant to the termination of service of five directors from the Board of Directors on June 12, 2019, the Company converted 193,949 deferred stock units into shares of common stock. Deferred stock units are credited to each director quarterly using the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the applicable dividend record date for the respective quarter. Each participating director’s account is also credited for an equivalent amount of deferred stock units based on the dividend rate for each quarter.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, 5,804 and 5,870 deferred stock units were earned, respectively. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were 63,470 and 59,899 deferred stock units outstanding, respectively.

EARNINGS PER SHARE/UNIT

Basic EPS or EPU excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders or unitholders by the weighted average number of shares or units outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS or EPU reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. In the calculation of basic and diluted EPS and EPU, a redemption value adjustment of redeemable noncontrolling interests attributable to common shareholders or unitholders is included in the calculation to arrive at the numerator of net income (loss) available to common shareholders or unitholders.

The following information presents the Company’s results for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share (dollars in thousands, except per share amounts):

Mack-Cali Realty Corporation Stockholders' Equity And Mack-Cali Realty, L.P.'s Partners' Capital

16.     MACK-CALI REALTY CORPORATION STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND MACK-CALI REALTY, L.P.’S PARTNERS’ CAPITAL

To maintain its qualification as a REIT, not more than 50 percent in value of the outstanding shares of the General Partner may be owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals at any time during the last half of any taxable year of the General Partner, other than its initial taxable year (defined to include certain entities), applying certain constructive ownership rules. To help ensure that the General Partner will not fail this test, the General Partner’s Charter provides, among other things, certain restrictions on the transfer of common stock to prevent further concentration of stock ownership. Moreover, to evidence compliance with these requirements, the General Partner must maintain records that disclose the actual ownership of its outstanding common stock and demands written statements each year from the holders of record of designated percentages of its common stock requesting the disclosure of the beneficial owners of such common stock.

Partners’ Capital in the accompanying consolidated financial statements relates to (a) General Partners’ capital consisting of common units in the Operating Partnership held by the General Partner, and (b) Limited Partners’ capital consisting of common units and LTIP units held by the limited partners. See Note 17: Noncontrolling Interests in Subsidiaries.

The following table reflects the activity of the General Partner capital for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively (dollars in thousands):

Any transactions resulting in the issuance of additional common and preferred stock of the General Partner result in a corresponding issuance by the Operating Partnership of an equivalent amount of common and preferred units to the General Partner.

SHARE/UNIT REPURCHASE PROGRAM

In September 2012, the Board of Directors of the General Partner renewed and authorized an increase to the General Partner’s repurchase program (“Repurchase Program”). The General Partner has authorization to repurchase up to $150 million of its outstanding common stock under the renewed Repurchase Program, which it may repurchase from time to time in open market transactions at prevailing prices or through privately negotiated transactions. As of March 31, 2020, the General Partner has repurchased and retired 394,625 shares of its outstanding common stock for an aggregate cost of approximately $11 million (all of which occurred in the year ended December 31, 2012), with a remaining authorization under the Repurchase Program of $139 million. Concurrent with these repurchases, the General Partner sold to the Operating Partnership common units for approximately $11 million.

DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT AND STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

The General Partner has a Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan (the “DRIP”) which commenced in March 1999 under which approximately 5.5 million shares of the General Partner’s common stock have been reserved for future issuance. The DRIP provides for automatic reinvestment of all or a portion of a participant’s dividends from the General Partner’s shares of common stock. The DRIP also permits participants to make optional cash investments up to $5,000 a month without restriction and, if the Company waives

this limit, for additional amounts subject to certain restrictions and other conditions set forth in the DRIP prospectus filed as part of the Company’s effective registration statement on Form S-3 filed with the SEC for the approximately 5.5 million shares of the General Partner’s common stock reserved for issuance under the DRIP.

STOCK OPTION PLANS

In May 2013, the General Partner established the 2013 Incentive Stock Plan (the “2013 Plan”) under which a total of 4,600,000 shares have been reserved for issuance.

On June 5, 2015, in connection with employment agreements entered into with each of Messrs. Rudin and DeMarco (together, the “Executive Employment Agreements”), the Company granted options to purchase a total of 800,000 shares of the General Partner’s common stock, exercisable for a period of ten years with an exercise price equal to the closing price of the General Partner’s common stock on the grant date of $17.31 per share, with 400,000 of such options vesting in three equal annual installments commencing on the first anniversary of the grant date (“Time Vesting Options”) and fully vesting on June 5, 2018, and 400,000 of such options vesting if the General Partner’s common stock traded at or above $25.00 per share for 30 consecutive trading days while the executive is employed (“Price Vesting Options”), or on or before June 30, 2019, subject to certain conditions. The Price Vesting Options vested on July 5, 2016 on account of the price vesting condition being achieved. 

Information regarding the Company’s stock option plans is summarized below for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively:

			Weighted		Aggregate

There were no stock options exercised under any stock option plans for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company has a policy of issuing new shares to satisfy stock option exercises.

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the stock options outstanding had a weighted average remaining contractual life of approximately 5.2 and 5.4 years, respectively.

The Company recognized stock options expense of zero for each of the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

AO LTIP UNITS (Appreciation-Only LTIP Units)

Pursuant to the terms of the DeMarco employment agreement, the Company entered into an AO Long-Term Incentive Plan Award Agreement (the “AO LTIP Award Agreement”) with Mr. DeMarco on March 13, 2019 that provided for the grant to Mr. DeMarco of 625,000 AO LTIP Units. AO LTIP Units are a class of partnership interests in the Operating Partnership that are intended to qualify as “profits interests” for federal income tax purposes and generally only allow the recipient to realize value to the extent the fair market value of a share of Common Stock exceeds the threshold level set at the time the AO LTIP Units are granted, subject to any vesting conditions applicable to the award. The threshold level was fixed at $21.46 in the AO LTIP Award Agreement, the closing price of the Common Stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) on the date of grant. The value of vested AO LTIP Units is realized through conversion of the AO LTIP Units into common units of limited partnership interests of the Operating Partnership (the “Common Units”). The number of Common Units into which vested AO LTIP Units may be converted is determined based on the

quotient of (i) the excess of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the conversion date over the threshold level designated at the time the AO LTIP Unit was granted (i.e., $21.46), divided by (ii) the fair market value of the Common Stock on the conversion date. AO LTIP Units, once vested, have a finite term during which they may be converted into Common Units, within ten years from the grant date of the AO LTIP Units or they are forfeited. In addition, the AO LTIP Units issued to Mr. DeMarco are subject to the following vesting conditions:

(i) 250,000 of the AO LTIP Units shall vest and become exercisable on the earliest date on which the closing price of the Common Stock, as reported on the NYSE, or if the Common Stock is not then traded on the NYSE, then the closing price of the Common Stock on any other securities exchange on which the Common Stock is traded or quoted (the “Securities Market”), has been equal to or greater than $25.00 per share for at least 30 consecutive trading days, provided that such date occurs prior to March 13, 2023 (the “Outside Date”);

(ii) an additional 250,000 of the AO LTIP Units shall vest and become exercisable on the earliest date on which the closing price of the Common Stock, as reported on the NYSE, or if the Common Stock is not then traded on the NYSE, then the closing price of the Common Stock on the Securities Market, has been equal to or greater than $28.00 per share for at least 30 consecutive trading days, provided that such date occurs prior to the Outside Date; and

(iii) an additional 125,000 of the AO LTIP Units shall vest and become exercisable on the earliest date on which the closing price of the Common Stock, as reported on the NYSE, or if the Common Stock is not then traded on the NYSE, then the closing price of the Common Stock on the Securities Market, has been equal to or greater than $31.00 per share for at least 30 consecutive trading days, provided that such date occurs prior to the Outside Date.

Mr. DeMarco will generally receive special income allocations in respect of an AO LTIP Unit equal to 10 percent (or such other percentage specified in the applicable award agreement) of the income allocated in respect of a Common Unit. Upon conversion of AO LTIP Units to Common Units, Mr. DeMarco will be entitled to receive in respect of each such AO LTIP Unit, on a per unit basis, a special cash distribution equal to 10% (or such other percentage specified in the applicable award agreement) of the distributions received by a holder of an equivalent number of Common Units during the period from the grant date of the AO LTIP Units through the date of conversion. The Company has reserved shares of common stock under the 2013 Plan for issuance upon vesting and conversion of the AO LTIP Units in accordance with their terms and conditions.

The weighted average fair value of the AO LTIP Units granted during the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $3.98 per AO LTIP Unit. The fair value of each AO LTIP Unit grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Monte Carlo method. The following weighted average assumptions are included in the Company’s fair value calculations of AO LTIP Units granted during the three months ended March 31, 2019:

	AO LTIP
	Units
Expected life (in years)	5.5 - 6.0
Risk-free interest rate	2.6	%
Volatility	29.0	%
Dividend yield	3.5	%

As of March 31, 2020, the Company had $1.8 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested AO LTIP Units granted under the Company’s stock compensation plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted average period of 2.9 years. The Company recognized AO LTIP unit expense of $155,000 and $32,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS

The Company has issued stock awards (“Restricted Stock Awards”) to officers, certain other employees and non-employee members of the Board of Directors of the General Partner, which allow the holders to each receive a certain amount of shares of the General Partner’s common stock generally over a one year to seven year vesting period, of which 42,690 unvested shares were legally outstanding at March 31, 2020. Vesting of the Restricted Stock Awards issued is based on time and service.

On June 5, 2015, in connection with the new executive employment agreements signed at that time, the Company granted a total of 37,550.54 Restricted Stock Awards, which were valued in accordance with ASC 718 – Stock Compensation, at their fair value. These awards vested equally over a three year period on each annual anniversary date of the grant date.

All currently outstanding and unvested Restricted Stock Awards provided to the officers, certain other employees, and members of the Board of Directors of the General Partner were issued under the 2013 Plan.

Information regarding the Restricted Stock Awards grant activity is summarized below for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively:

			Weighted-Average
			Grant – Date
	Shares		Fair Value
Outstanding at January 1, 2020	42,690	$	21.08

As of March 31, 2020, the Company had 0.3 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested Restricted Stock Awards granted under the Company’s stock compensation plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.2 years.

PERFORMANCE SHARE UNITS

On June 5, 2015, in connection with the new executive employment agreements signed at that time, the Company granted a total of 112,651.64 performance share units (“PSUs”) which was to vest from 0 to 150 percent of the number of PSUs granted based on the Company’s total shareholder return relative to a peer group of equity office REITs over a three year performance period starting from the grant date, each PSU evidencing the right to receive a share of the General Partner’s common stock upon vesting. The PSUs were also entitled to the payment of dividend equivalents in respect of vested PSUs in the form of additional PSUs. The PSUs were valued in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, at their fair value on the grant date, utilizing a Monte-Carlo simulation to estimate the probability of the vesting conditions being satisfied. The PSUs vested at 100 percent on June 5, 2018 based on the calculation of the achievement of the Company’s total shareholder return, for which shares of the General Partner’s common stock were issued under the 2013 Plan.

As of March 31, 2020, the Company had no unrecognized compensation cost as there are no unvested PSUs outstanding under the Company’s stock compensation plans.

LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN AWARDS

On March 8, 2016, the Company granted Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) awards to senior management of the Company, including the General Partner’s executive officers (the “2016 LTIP Awards”). All of the 2016 LTIP Awards were in the form of units in the Operating Partnership (“LTIP Units”) and constitute awards under the 2013 Plan. For Messrs. Rudin, DeMarco and Tycher, approximately 25 percent of the target 2016 LTIP Award was in the form of a time-based award that vested after three years on March 8, 2019 (the “2016 TBV LTIP Units”), and the remaining approximately 75 percent of the target 2016 LTIP Award was in the form of a performance-based award under a new Outperformance Plan (the “2016 OPP”) adopted by the General Partner’s Board of Directors consisting of a multi-year, performance-based equity compensation plan and related forms of award agreement (the “2016 PBV LTIP Units”). For all other executive officers, approximately 40 percent of the target 2016 LTIP Award was in the form of 2016 TBV LTIP Units and the remaining approximately 60 percent of the target 2016 LTIP Award was in the form of 2016 PBV LTIP Units. The 2016 TBV LTIP Units vested on March 8, 2019.

The 2016 OPP was designed to align the interests of senior management to relative and absolute performance of the Company over a three year performance period from March 8, 2016 through March 7, 2019. Participants in the 2016 OPP would only earn the full awards if, over the three year performance period, the Company achieves a 50 percent absolute total stockholder return (“TSR”) and if the Company is in the 75th percentile of performance versus the NAREIT Office Index. As the targets for vesting were not achieved, the 2016 PBV LTIP Units did not vest and were forfeited.

On April 4, 2017, the Company granted LTIP awards to senior management of the Company, including the General Partner’s executive officers (the “2017 LTIP Awards”). All of the 2017 LTIP Awards were in the form of LTIP Units and constitute awards under the 2013 Plan. For Messrs. DeMarco, Tycher and Rudin, approximately twenty-five percent (25%) of the 2017 LTIP Award was in the form of

a time-based award that vested after three years on April 4, 2020 (the “2017 TBV LTIP Units”), and the remaining approximately seventy-five percent (75%) of the 2017 LTIP Award was in the form of a performance-based award under the Company’s Outperformance Plan (the “2017 OPP”) adopted by the General Partner’s Board of Directors, consisting of a multi-year, performance-based equity compensation plan and related forms of award agreement (the “2017 PBV LTIP Units”). For all other executive officers, approximately forty percent (40%) of the 2017 LTIP Award was in the form of 2017 TBV LTIP Units and the remaining approximately sixty percent (60%) of the 2017 LTIP Award was in the form of 2017 PBV LTIP Units. The 2017 TBV LTIP Units vested on April 4, 2020.

The 2017 OPP was designed to align the interests of senior management to relative and absolute performance of the Company over a three-year performance period from April 4, 2017 through April 3, 2020. Participants in the 2017 OPP will only earn the full awards if, over the three year performance period, the Company achieves a thirty-six percent (36%) absolute TSR and if the Company is in the 75th percentile of performance as compared to the NAREIT office index. As the targets for vesting were not achieved, the 2017 PBV LTIP Units did not vest and were forfeited.

On April 20, 2018, the Company granted LTIP awards to senior management of the Company, including the General Partner’s executive officers (the “2018 LTIP Awards”). All of the 2018 LTIP Awards were in the form of LTIP Units and constitute awards under the 2013 Plan. For Messrs. DeMarco and Tycher, approximately twenty-five percent (25%) of the grant date fair value of the 2018 LTIP Award was in the form of a time-based award that vests after three years on April 20, 2021 (the “2018 TBV LTIP Units”), and the remaining approximately seventy-five percent (75%) of the grant date fair value of the 2018 LTIP Award was in the form of a performance-based award under the Company’s Outperformance Plan (the “2018 OPP”) adopted by the General Partner’s Board of Directors, consisting of a multi-year, performance-based equity compensation plan and related forms of award agreement (the “2018 PBV LTIP Units”). For all other executive officers, approximately fifty percent (50%) of the grant date fair value of the 2018 LTIP Award was in the form of 2018 TBV LTIP Units and the remaining approximately fifty percent (50%) of the grant date fair value of the 2018 LTIP Award was in the form of 2018 PBV LTIP Units.

The 2018 OPP was designed to align the interests of senior management to relative and absolute performance of the Company over a three year performance period from April 20, 2018 through April 19, 2021. Participants in the 2018 OPP will only earn the full awards if, over the three year performance period, the Company achieves a thirty-six percent (36%) absolute TSR and if the Company’s TSR is in the 75th percentile of performance as compared to the office REITs in the NAREIT index.

On March 22, 2019, the Company granted LTIP awards to senior management of the Company, including the General Partner’s executive officers (the “2019 LTIP Awards”). All of the 2019 LTIP Awards were in the form of LTIP Units and constitute awards under the 2013 Plan. For Mr. DeMarco, approximately 25 percent of the target 2019 LTIP Awards were in the form of time-based LTIP Units that vest after three years on March 22, 2022 (the “2019 TBV LTIP Units”), and the remaining approximately 75 percent of the grant date fair value of his 2019 LTIP Award will be in the form of performance-based LTIP Units under the Company’s Outperformance Plan (the “2019 OPP”) adopted by the General Partner’s Board of Directors, consisting of a multi-year, performance-based equity compensation plan and related forms of award agreement (the “2019 PBV LTIP Units”). For Messrs. Tycher, Smetana, Wagner, Cardoso and Hilton, fifty percent (50%) of the grant date fair value of their respective 2019 LTIP Awards is in the form of 2019 TBV LTIP Units and the remaining fifty percent (50%) of the grant date fair value of their respective 2019 LTIP Awards is in the form of 2019 PBV LTIP Units. Mr. DeBari, who was promoted to Chief Accounting Officer on March 13, 2019, received 100 percent of his 2019 LTIP Award in the form of 2019 TBV LTIP Units.

The 2019 OPP was designed to align the interests of senior management to relative and absolute performance of the Company over a three year performance period from March 22, 2019 through March 21, 2022. Participants of performance-based awards in the 2019 OPP will only earn the full awards if, over the three year performance period, the Company achieves a thirty-six percent (36%) absolute total stockholder return (“TSR”) and if the Company’s TSR is in the 75th percentile of performance as compared to the office REITs in the NAREIT index.

On March 24, 2020, the Company granted LTIP awards to senior management of the Company, including the General Partner’s executive officers (the “2020 LTIP Awards”). All of the 2020 LTIP Awards were in the form of LTIP Units and constitute awards under the 2013 Plan. All of the target 2020 LTIP Awards were in the form of performance-based LTIP Units under the Company’s Outperformance Plan (the “2020 OPP”) adopted by the General Partner’s Board of Directors, consisting of a multi-year, performance-based equity compensation plan and related forms of award agreement (the “2020 PBV LTIP Units”).

The 2020 OPP was designed to align the interests of senior management to relative and absolute performance of the Company over a three year performance period from March 24, 2020 through March 23, 2023. Participants of performance-based awards in the 2020 OPP will only earn the full awards if, over the three year performance period, the Company achieves a thirty-six percent (36%) absolute total stockholder return (“TSR”) and if the Company’s TSR is in the 75th percentile of performance as compared to the REITs in the NAREIT index.

LTIP Units will remain subject to forfeiture depending on the extent that the 2017 LTIP Awards, 2018 LTIP Awards, 2019 LTIP Awards and 2020 LTIP Awards vest. The number of LTIP Units to be issued initially to recipients of the 2017 PBV LTIP Awards, 2018 PBV LTIP Awards, 2019 PBV LTIP Awards and 2020 PBV LTIP Awards is the maximum number of LTIP Units that may be earned under the awards. The number of LTIP Units that actually vest for each award recipient will be determined at the end of the performance measurement period. TSR for the Company and for the Index over the three year measurement period and other circumstances will determine how many LTIP Units vest for each recipient; if they are fewer than the number issued initially, the balance will be forfeited as of the performance measurement date.

Prior to vesting, recipients of LTIP Units will be entitled to receive per unit distributions equal to one-tenth (10 percent) of the regular quarterly distributions payable on a Common Unit but will not be entitled to receive any special distributions. Distributions with respect to the other nine-tenths (90 percent) of regular quarterly distributions payable on a common unit will accrue but shall only become payable upon vesting of the LTIP Unit. After vesting of the 2017 TBV LTIP Units, 2018 TBV LTIP Units and 2019 TBV LTIP Units or the end of the measurement period for the 2017 PBV LTIP Units, 2018 PBV LTIP Units, 2019 PBV LTIP Units and 2020 PBV LTIP Units, the number of LTIP Units, both vested and unvested, will be entitled to receive distributions in an amount per unit equal to distributions, both regular and special, payable on a Common Unit.

As a result of targets not being achieved or management and other personnel changes during the three months ended March 31, 2020, the employees forfeited and cancelled 3,008 2017 LTIP Awards, 6,572 2018 LTIP Awards, and 5,693 2019 LTIP Awards. As of March 31, 2020, a total of 11,155 2016 PBV LTIP Units, 75,578 2016 TBV LTIP Units, 388,408 2017 PBV LTIP Units, 79,672 2017 TBV LTIP Units, 629,252 2018 PBV LTIP Units, 186,645 2018 TBV LTIP Units, 392,476 2019 PBV LTIP Units, 167,454 2019 TBV LTIP Units, and 1,287,568 2020 PBV LTIP Units, net of LTIP Units forfeited and cancelled, were outstanding. The LTIP Units were valued in accordance with ASC 718 – Stock Compensation, at their fair value. The Company has reserved shares of common stock under the 2013 Plan for issuance upon vesting and conversion of the LTIP Units in accordance with their terms and conditions.

As of March 31, 2020, the Company had $19.7 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested LTIP awards granted under the Company’s stock compensation plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.8 years.

DEFERRED STOCK COMPENSATION PLAN FOR DIRECTORS

The Amended and Restated Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors, which commenced January 1, 1999, allows non-employee directors of the Company to elect to defer up to 100 percent of their annual retainer fee into deferred stock units. The deferred stock units are convertible into an equal number of shares of common stock upon the directors’ termination of service from the Board of Directors or a change in control of the Company, as defined in the plan. Pursuant to the termination of service of five directors from the Board of Directors on June 12, 2019, the Company converted 193,949 deferred stock units into shares of common stock. Deferred stock units are credited to each director quarterly using the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the applicable dividend record date for the respective quarter. Each participating director’s account is also credited for an equivalent amount of deferred stock units based on the dividend rate for each quarter.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, 5,804 and 5,870 deferred stock units were earned, respectively. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were 63,470 and 59,899 deferred stock units outstanding, respectively.

EARNINGS PER SHARE/UNIT

Basic EPS or EPU excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders or unitholders by the weighted average number of shares or units outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS or EPU reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. In the calculation of basic and diluted EPS and EPU, a redemption value adjustment of redeemable noncontrolling interests attributable to common shareholders or unitholders is included in the calculation to arrive at the numerator of net income (loss) available to common shareholders or unitholders.

The following information presents the Company’s results for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share (dollars in thousands, except per share amounts):

Rental Property

Rental Property

Rental properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Costs directly related to the acquisition, development and construction of rental properties are capitalized. The Company adopted FASB guidance Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-01 on January 1, 2017, which revises the definition of a business and is expected to result in more transactions to be accounted for as asset acquisitions and significantly limit transactions that would be accounted for as business combinations. Where an acquisition has been determined to be an asset acquisition, acquisition-related costs are capitalized. Capitalized development and construction costs include pre-construction costs essential to the development of the property, development and construction costs, interest, property taxes, insurance, salaries and other project costs incurred during the period of development. Capitalized development and construction salaries and related costs approximated $0.5 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred; major replacements and betterments, which improve or extend the life of the asset, are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Fully-depreciated assets are removed from the accounts.  

Included in net investment in rental property as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 is real estate and building and tenant improvements not in service, as follows (dollars in thousands):

		March 31,		December 31,
		2020		2019
Land held for development (including pre-development costs, if any) (a)(c)	$	385,682	$	388,702
Development and construction in progress, including land (b)(d)		529,651		464,110
Total	$	915,333	$	852,812

(a)Includes predevelopment and infrastructure costs included in buildings and improvements of $166.6 million and $156.5 million as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

(b)Includes land of $85.5 million and $96.6 million as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

(c)Includes $46.3 million of land and $39.5 million of building and improvements pertaining to assets held for sale at March 31, 2020.

(d)Includes $0.5 million of land and $5.6 million of building and improvements pertaining to assets held for sale.

The Company considers a construction project as substantially completed and held available for occupancy upon the substantial completion of improvements, but no later than one year from cessation of major construction activity (as distinguished from activities such as routine maintenance and cleanup). If portions of a rental project are substantially completed and occupied by tenants or residents, or held available for occupancy, and other portions have not yet reached that stage, the substantially completed portions are accounted for as a separate project. The Company allocates costs incurred between the portions under construction and the portions substantially completed and held available for occupancy, primarily based on a percentage of the relative commercial square footage or multi-family units of each portion, and capitalizes only those costs associated with the portion under construction.

Properties are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives are as follows:

Leasehold interests	Remaining lease term
Buildings and improvements	5 to 40 years
Tenant improvements	The shorter of the term of the
	related lease or useful life
Furniture, fixtures and equipment	5 to 10 years

Upon acquisition of rental property, the Company estimates the fair value of acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, building and improvements, and identified intangible assets and liabilities assumed, generally consisting of the fair value of (i) above and below-market leases, (ii) in-place leases and (iii) tenant relationships. For asset acquisitions, the Company allocates the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values. The Company records goodwill or a gain on bargain purchase (if any) if the net assets acquired/liabilities assumed differ from the purchase consideration of a business combination transaction.

In estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired, the Company considers information obtained about each property as a result of its due diligence and marketing and leasing activities, and utilizes various valuation methods, such as estimated cash flow projections utilizing appropriate discount and capitalization rates, estimates of replacement costs net of depreciation, and available market information. The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property considers the value of the property as if it were vacant.

Above-market and below-market lease values for acquired properties are initially recorded based on the present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for each corresponding in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above-market leases and the remaining initial term plus the term of any below-market fixed rate renewal options for below-market leases. The capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of base rental revenue over the remaining terms of the respective leases, and the capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to base rental revenue over the remaining initial terms plus the terms of any below-market fixed rate renewal options of the respective leases.

Other intangible assets acquired include amounts for in-place lease values and tenant relationship values, which are based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and the Company’s overall relationship with the respective tenant. Factors to be considered by management in its analysis of in-place lease values include an estimate of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions, and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, management includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up periods, depending on local market conditions. In estimating costs to execute similar leases, management considers leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses. Characteristics considered by management in valuing tenant relationships include the nature and extent of the Company’s existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenant’s credit quality and expectations of lease renewals. The values of in-place leases are amortized to expense over the remaining initial terms of the respective leases. The values of tenant relationship intangibles are amortized to expense over the anticipated life of the relationships or leases.

On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of the Company’s rental properties held for use may be impaired. In addition to identifying any specific circumstances which may affect a property or properties, management considers other criteria for determining which properties may require assessment for potential impairment. The criteria considered by management, depending on the type of property, may include reviewing low leased percentages, significant near-term lease expirations, current and historical operating and/or cash flow losses, construction cost overruns and/or other factors, including those that might impact the Company’s intent and ability to hold the property. A property’s value is impaired only if management’s estimate of the aggregate future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) to be generated by the property over its estimated holding period is less than the carrying value of the property. If there are different possible scenarios for a property, the Company will take a probability-weighted approach to estimating future cash flow scenarios. To the extent impairment has occurred, the impairment loss is measured as the excess of the carrying value of the property over the fair value of the property. The Company’s estimates of aggregate future cash flows expected to be generated and estimated fair values for each property are based on a number of assumptions, including but not limited to estimated holding periods, market capitalization rates and discount rates, if applicable. For developable land holdings, an estimated per-unit market value assumption is also considered based on development rights for the land. These assumptions are generally based on management’s experience in its local real estate markets and the effects of current market conditions. The assumptions are subject to economic and market uncertainties including, among others, demand for space, competition for tenants, changes in market rental rates, and costs to operate each property. As these factors are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter management’s assumptions, the future cash flows estimated by management in its impairment analyses may not be

achieved, and actual losses or impairments may be realized in the future.

Real Estate Held For Sale And Discontinued Operations

Real Estate Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations

When assets are identified by management as held for sale, the Company discontinues depreciating the assets and estimates the sales price, net of selling costs, of such assets. The Company generally considers assets (as identified by their disposal groups) to be held for sale when the transaction has received appropriate corporate authority, it is probable to be sold within the following 12 months, and there are no significant contingencies relating to a sale. If, in management’s opinion, the estimated net sales price, net of selling costs, of the disposal groups which have been identified as held for sale is less than the carrying value of the assets, a valuation allowance (which is recorded as unrealized losses on disposition of rental property) is established. In the absence of an executed sales agreement with a set sales price, management’s estimate of the net sales price may be based on a number of assumptions, including but not limited to the Company’s estimates of future and stabilized cash flows, market capitalization rates and discount rates, if applicable. For developable land, an estimated per-unit market value assumption is also considered based on development rights for the land. In addition, the Company classifies assets held for sale or sold as discontinued operations if the disposal groups represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. For any disposals qualifying as discontinued operations, the assets and their results are presented in discontinued operations in the financial statements for all periods presented. See Note 7: Discontinued Operations.

If circumstances arise that previously were considered unlikely and, as a result, the Company decides not to sell an asset previously classified as held for sale, the asset is reclassified as held and used. An asset that is reclassified is measured and recorded individually at the lower of (a) its carrying value before the asset was classified as held for sale, adjusted for any depreciation (amortization) expense that would have been recognized had the asset been continuously classified as held and used, or (b) the fair value at the date of the subsequent decision not to sell. 

Investments In Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures 

The Company accounts for its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures under the equity method of accounting. The Company applies the equity method by initially recording these investments at cost, as Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures, subsequently adjusted for equity in earnings and cash contributions and distributions. The outside basis portion of the Company’s joint ventures is amortized over the anticipated useful lives of the underlying ventures’ tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Generally, the Company would discontinue applying the equity method when the investment (and any advances) is reduced to zero and would not provide for additional losses unless the Company has guaranteed obligations of the venture or is otherwise committed to providing further financial support for the investee. If the venture subsequently generates income, the Company only recognizes its share of such income to the extent it exceeds its share of previously unrecognized losses.

If the venture subsequently makes distributions and the Company does not have an implied or actual commitment to support the operations of the venture, the Company will not record a basis less than zero, rather such amounts will be recorded as equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures. 

On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of the Company’s investments in unconsolidated joint ventures may be impaired. An investment is impaired only if management’s estimate of the value of the investment is less than the carrying value of the investment, and such decline in value is deemed to be other than temporary. To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss shall be measured as the excess of the carrying value of the investment over the value of the investment. The Company’s estimates of value for each investment (particularly in real estate joint ventures) are based on a number of assumptions including but not limited to estimates of future and stabilized cash flows, market capitalization rates and discount rates, if applicable. These assumptions are based on management's experience in its local real estate markets and the effects of current market conditions. The assumptions are subject to economic and market uncertainties including, among others, demand for space, competition for tenants, changes in market rental rates, and operating costs. As these factors are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter management’s assumptions, the values estimated by management in its impairment analyses may not be realized, and actual losses or impairment may be realized in the future. See Note 4: Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures. 

Cash And Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

All highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased are considered to be cash equivalents. 

Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred Financing Costs

Costs incurred in obtaining financing are capitalized and amortized over the term of the related indebtedness. Deferred financing costs are presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the debt liability to which they relate, except deferred financing costs related to the revolving credit facility, which are presented in deferred charges, goodwill and other assets. In all cases,

amortization of such costs is included in interest expense and was $1,024,000 and $1,189,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. If a financing obligation is extinguished early, any unamortized deferred financing costs are written off and included in gains (losses) from extinguishment of debt.

Deferred Leasing Costs/Leasing Personnel Costs

Deferred Leasing Costs/Leasing Personnel Costs

Costs incurred in connection with successfully executed commercial and residential leases were capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases and included in depreciation and amortization. Unamortized deferred leasing costs were charged to amortization expense upon early termination of the lease. Certain employees of the Company are compensated for providing leasing services to the Properties. Upon the adoption of ASC 842 on January 1, 2019, the Company no longer capitalizes such costs, and includes such leasing personnel costs in General and administrative expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations, which amounted to $1,038,000 and $742,000 for the three months ended and March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Goodwill

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is allocated to various reporting units, as applicable. Each of the Company’s segments consists of a reporting unit. Goodwill is not amortized. Management performs an annual impairment test for goodwill during the fourth quarter and between annual tests, management evaluates the recoverability of goodwill whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of goodwill may not be fully recoverable. In its impairment tests of goodwill, management first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If, based on this assessment, management determines that the fair value of the reporting unit is not less than its carrying value, then performing the additional two-step impairment test is unnecessary. If the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is recognized.

Derivative Instruments

Derivative Instruments

The Company measures derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, at fair value and records them as an asset or liability, depending on the Company’s rights or obligations under the applicable derivative contract. For derivatives designated and qualifying as fair value hedges, the changes in the fair value of both the derivative instrument and the hedged item are recorded in earnings. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portions of the derivative are reported in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and are subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged item affects earnings. Changes in fair value of derivative instruments not designated as hedging and ineffective portions of hedges are recognized in earnings in the affected period.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from leases includes fixed base rents under leases, which are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases. Unbilled rents receivable represents the cumulative amount by which straight-line rental revenue exceeds rents currently billed in accordance with the lease agreements.

Above-market and below-market lease values for acquired properties are initially recorded based on the present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for each corresponding in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above-market leases and the remaining initial term plus the term of any below-market fixed-rate renewal options for below-market leases. The capitalized above-market lease values for acquired properties are amortized as a reduction of revenue from leases over the remaining terms of the respective leases, and the capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to revenue from leases over the remaining initial terms plus the terms of any below-market fixed-rate renewal options of the respective leases.

The Company elected a practical expedient for its rental properties (as lessor) to avoid separating non-lease components that otherwise would need to be accounted for under the recently-adopted revenue accounting guidance (such as tenant reimbursements of property operating expenses) from the associated lease component since (1) the non-lease components have the same timing and pattern of transfer as the associated lease component and (2) the lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease; this enables the Company to account for the combination of the lease component and non-lease components as an operating lease since the lease component is the predominant component of the combined components.   

Due to the Company’s adoption of the practical expedient discussed above to not separate non-lease component revenue from the associated lease component, the Company is aggregating revenue from its lease components and non-lease components (comprised predominantly of tenant operating expense reimbursements) into the line entitled “Revenue from leases.” 

Revenue from leases also includes reimbursements and recoveries from tenants received from tenants for certain costs as provided in the lease agreements. These costs generally include real estate taxes, utilities, insurance, common area maintenance and other recoverable costs. See Note 14: Tenant Leases.

Real estate services revenue includes property management, development, construction and leasing commission fees and other services, and payroll and related costs reimbursed from clients. Fee income derived from the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures (which are capitalized by such ventures) are recognized to the extent attributable to the unaffiliated ownership interests.

Parking income includes income from parking spaces leased to tenants and others.

Hotel income includes all revenue earned from hotel properties.

Other income includes income from tenants for additional services arranged for by the Company and income from tenants for early lease terminations.

All bad debt expense is being recorded as a reduction of the corresponding revenue account starting on January 1, 2019. Management performs a detailed review of amounts due from tenants for collectability based on factors affecting the billings and status of individual tenants. The factors considered by management in determining which individual tenant’s revenues are affected include the age of the receivable, the tenant’s payment history, the nature of the charges, any communications regarding the charges and other related information. Management’s estimate of bad debt write-off’s requires management to exercise judgment about the timing, frequency and severity of collection losses, which affects the revenue recorded. 

Income And Other Taxes

Income and Other Taxes

The General Partner has elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “IRS Code”). As a REIT, the General Partner generally will not be subject to corporate federal income tax on net income that it currently distributes to its shareholders, provided that the General Partner satisfies certain organizational and operational requirements including the requirement to distribute at least 90 percent of its REIT taxable income (determined by excluding any net capital gains) to its shareholders. If and to the extent the General Partner retains and does not distribute any net capital gains, the General Partner will be required to pay federal, state and local taxes, as applicable, on such net capital gains at the rate applicable to capital gains of a corporation.

The Operating Partnership is a partnership, and, as a result, all income and losses of the partnership are allocated to the partners for inclusion in their respective tax returns. Accordingly, no provision or benefit for income taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements.

The General Partner has elected to treat certain of its corporate subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries (each a “TRS”). In general, a TRS of the General Partner may perform additional services for tenants of the Company and generally may engage in any real estate or non-real estate related business (except for the operation or management of health care facilities or lodging facilities or the providing to any person, under a franchise, license or otherwise, rights to any brand name under which any lodging facility or health care facility is operated). A TRS is subject to corporate federal income tax. The General Partner has conducted business through its TRS entities for certain property management, development, construction and other related services, as well as to hold a joint venture interest in a hotel and other matters.

The deferred tax asset balance at March 31, 2020 amounted to $10.1 million which has been fully reserved through a valuation allowance. New tax reform legislation enacted in late 2017 reduced the corporate tax rate to 21 percent, effective January 1, 2018.  Consequently, the Company’s deferred tax assets were re-measured to reflect the reduction in the future U.S. corporate income tax rate as of the enactment date. As a result, the Company recorded a decrease related to its deferred tax assets of $5.3 million and a decrease to the associated valuation allowance of $5.3 million at December 31, 2017. If the General Partner fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates. The Company is subject to certain state and local taxes.

Pursuant to the amended provisions related to uncertain tax provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes, the Company recognized no material adjustments regarding its tax accounting treatment. The Company expects to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, as income tax expense, which is included in general and administrative expense.

In the normal course of business, the Company or one of its subsidiaries is subject to examination by federal, state and local jurisdictions in which it operates, where applicable. As of March 31, 2020, the tax years that remain subject to examination by the major tax jurisdictions under the statute of limitations are generally from the year 2015 forward.

Earnings Per Share Or Unit

Earnings Per Share or Unit 

The Company presents both basic and diluted earnings per share or unit (“EPS or EPU”). Basic EPS or EPU excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders or unitholders by the weighted average number of shares or units outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS or EPU reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock, where such exercise or conversion would result in a lower EPS or EPU from continuing operations amount. Shares or units whose issuance is contingent upon the satisfaction of certain conditions shall be considered outstanding and included in the computation of diluted EPS or EPU as follows (i) if all necessary conditions have been satisfied by the end of the period (the events have occurred), those shares or units shall be included as of the beginning of the period in which the conditions were satisfied (or as of the date of the grant, if later) or (ii) if all necessary conditions have not been satisfied by the end of the period, the number of contingently issuable shares or units included in diluted EPS or EPU shall be based on the number of shares or units, if any, that would be issuable if the end of the reporting period were the end of the contingency period (for example, the number of shares or units that would be issuable based on current period earnings or period-end market price) and if the result would be dilutive. Those contingently issuable shares or units shall be included in the denominator of diluted EPS or EPU as of the beginning of the period (or as of the date of the grant, if later).

Dividends And Distributions Payable

Dividends and Distributions Payable

The dividends and distributions payable at March 31, 2020 represents dividends payable to common shareholders (90,596,168 shares) and distributions payable to noncontrolling interests unitholders of the Operating Partnership (9,394,754 common units and 3,218,208 vested and unvested LTIP units), for all such holders of record as of April 2, 2020 with respect to the first quarter 2020. The first quarter 2020 common stock dividends and unit distributions of $0.20 per common share (total of $18.1 million), common unit (total of $1.9 million) and LTIP unit (total of $0.4 million) were approved by the General Partner’s Board of Directors on March 23, 2020 and paid on April 14, 2020.

The dividends and distributions payable at December 31, 2019 represents dividends payable to common shareholders (90,595,197 shares) and distributions payable to noncontrolling interests unitholders of the Operating Partnership (9,488,794 common units and 1,949,601 vested and unvested LTIP units) for all such holders of record as of January 3, 2020 with respect to the fourth quarter 2019. The fourth quarter 2019 common stock dividends and unit distributions of $0.20 per common share (total of $18.1 million), common unit (total of $1.9 million) and LTIP unit (total of $0.4 million) were approved by the General Partner’s Board of Directors on December 17, 2019 and paid on January 10, 2020.

Costs Incurred For Stock Issuances

Costs Incurred For Stock Issuances

Costs incurred in connection with the Company’s stock issuances are reflected as a reduction of additional paid-in capital.

Stock Compensation

Stock Compensation

The Company accounts for stock compensation in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. These provisions require that the estimated fair value of restricted stock (“Restricted Stock Awards”), performance share units, long-term incentive plan awards and stock options at the grant date be amortized ratably into expense over the appropriate vesting period. The Company recorded stock compensation expense of $2,530,000 and $1,880,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Other comprehensive income (loss) includes items that are recorded in equity, such as effective portions of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges or unrealized holding gains or losses on marketable securities available for sale.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

The Company evaluates the terms of the partnership units issued in accordance with the FASB’s Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity guidance. Units which embody an unconditional obligation requiring the Company to redeem the units for cash after a specified or determinable date (or dates) or upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within the control of the issuer are determined to be contingently redeemable under this guidance and are included as Redeemable noncontrolling interests and classified within the mezzanine section between Total liabilities and Stockholders’ equity on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The carrying amount of the redeemable noncontrolling interests will be changed by periodic accretions, so that the carrying amount will equal the estimated future redemption value at the redemption date.

Fair Value Hierarchy

Fair Value Hierarchy

The standard Fair Value Measurements specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based upon whether the inputs to those valuation techniques reflect assumptions other market participants would use based upon market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs). The following summarizes the fair value hierarchy:

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets that are unadjusted and accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

Level 2: Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are inactive, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals and

Level 3: Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

Impact Of Recently-Issued Accounting Standards

Impact of Recently-Issued Accounting Standards

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (“ASU 2016-13”). The guidance introduces a new model for estimating credit losses for certain types of financial instruments, including trade and lease receivables, loans receivable, held-to-maturity debt securities, and net investments in direct financing leases, amongst other financial instruments. ASU 2016-13 also modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities and expands the disclosure requirements regarding an entity’s assumptions, models, and methods for estimating the allowance for losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging: Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities (“ASU 2017-12”). The purpose of ASU 2017-12 is to better align a company’s financial reporting for hedging activities with the economic objectives of those activities. The Company has adopted ASU 2017-12 on January 1, 2019. ASU 2017-12 requires a modified retrospective transition method which requires a cumulative effect of the change on the opening balance of each affected component of equity in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of the date of adoption. Upon adoption the Company recorded a cumulative adjustment specifically related to the elimination of the requirement for separate measurement of hedge ineffectiveness. As a result, the Company recorded an opening balance adjustment as of January 1, 2019 to dividends in excess of net earnings of $0.4 million with a corresponding change to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

Significant Accounting Policies [Line Items]

Rental Property

Rental Property

Rental properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Costs directly related to the acquisition, development and construction of rental properties are capitalized. The Company adopted FASB guidance Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-01 on January 1, 2017, which revises the definition of a business and is expected to result in more transactions to be accounted for as asset acquisitions and significantly limit transactions that would be accounted for as business combinations. Where an acquisition has been determined to be an asset acquisition, acquisition-related costs are capitalized. Capitalized development and construction costs include pre-construction costs essential to the development of the property, development and construction costs, interest, property taxes, insurance, salaries and other project costs incurred during the period of development. Capitalized development and construction salaries and related costs approximated $0.5 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred; major replacements and betterments, which improve or extend the life of the asset, are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Fully-depreciated assets are removed from the accounts.  

Included in net investment in rental property as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 is real estate and building and tenant improvements not in service, as follows (dollars in thousands):

		March 31,		December 31,
		2020		2019
Land held for development (including pre-development costs, if any) (a)(c)	$	385,682	$	388,702
Development and construction in progress, including land (b)(d)		529,651		464,110
Total	$	915,333	$	852,812

(a)Includes predevelopment and infrastructure costs included in buildings and improvements of $166.6 million and $156.5 million as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

(b)Includes land of $85.5 million and $96.6 million as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

(c)Includes $46.3 million of land and $39.5 million of building and improvements pertaining to assets held for sale at March 31, 2020.

(d)Includes $0.5 million of land and $5.6 million of building and improvements pertaining to assets held for sale.

The Company considers a construction project as substantially completed and held available for occupancy upon the substantial completion of improvements, but no later than one year from cessation of major construction activity (as distinguished from activities such as routine maintenance and cleanup). If portions of a rental project are substantially completed and occupied by tenants or residents, or held available for occupancy, and other portions have not yet reached that stage, the substantially completed portions are accounted for as a separate project. The Company allocates costs incurred between the portions under construction and the portions substantially completed and held available for occupancy, primarily based on a percentage of the relative commercial square footage or multi-family units of each portion, and capitalizes only those costs associated with the portion under construction.

Properties are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives are as follows:

Leasehold interests	Remaining lease term
Buildings and improvements	5 to 40 years
Tenant improvements	The shorter of the term of the
	related lease or useful life
Furniture, fixtures and equipment	5 to 10 years

Upon acquisition of rental property, the Company estimates the fair value of acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, building and improvements, and identified intangible assets and liabilities assumed, generally consisting of the fair value of (i) above and below-market leases, (ii) in-place leases and (iii) tenant relationships. For asset acquisitions, the Company allocates the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values. The Company records goodwill or a gain on bargain purchase (if any) if the net assets acquired/liabilities assumed differ from the purchase consideration of a business combination transaction.

In estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired, the Company considers information obtained about each property as a result of its due diligence and marketing and leasing activities, and utilizes various valuation methods, such as estimated cash flow projections utilizing appropriate discount and capitalization rates, estimates of replacement costs net of depreciation, and available market information. The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property considers the value of the property as if it were vacant.

Above-market and below-market lease values for acquired properties are initially recorded based on the present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for each corresponding in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above-market leases and the remaining initial term plus the term of any below-market fixed rate renewal options for below-market leases. The capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of base rental revenue over the remaining terms of the respective leases, and the capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to base rental revenue over the remaining initial terms plus the terms of any below-market fixed rate renewal options of the respective leases.

Other intangible assets acquired include amounts for in-place lease values and tenant relationship values, which are based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and the Company’s overall relationship with the respective tenant. Factors to be considered by management in its analysis of in-place lease values include an estimate of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions, and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, management includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up periods, depending on local market conditions. In estimating costs to execute similar leases, management considers leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses. Characteristics considered by management in valuing tenant relationships include the nature and extent of the Company’s existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenant’s credit quality and expectations of lease renewals. The values of in-place leases are amortized to expense over the remaining initial terms of the respective leases. The values of tenant relationship intangibles are amortized to expense over the anticipated life of the relationships or leases.

On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of the Company’s rental properties held for use may be impaired. In addition to identifying any specific circumstances which may affect a property or properties, management considers other criteria for determining which properties may require assessment for potential impairment. The criteria considered by management, depending on the type of property, may include reviewing low leased percentages, significant near-term lease expirations, current and historical operating and/or cash flow losses, construction cost overruns and/or other factors, including those that might impact the Company’s intent and ability to hold the property. A property’s value is impaired only if management’s estimate of the aggregate future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) to be generated by the property over its estimated holding period is less than the carrying value of the property. If there are different possible scenarios for a property, the Company will take a probability-weighted approach to estimating future cash flow scenarios. To the extent impairment has occurred, the impairment loss is measured as the excess of the carrying value of the property over the fair value of the property. The Company’s estimates of aggregate future cash flows expected to be generated and estimated fair values for each property are based on a number of assumptions, including but not limited to estimated holding periods, market capitalization rates and discount rates, if applicable. For developable land holdings, an estimated per-unit market value assumption is also considered based on development rights for the land. These assumptions are generally based on management’s experience in its local real estate markets and the effects of current market conditions. The assumptions are subject to economic and market uncertainties including, among others, demand for space, competition for tenants, changes in market rental rates, and costs to operate each property. As these factors are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter management’s assumptions, the future cash flows estimated by management in its impairment analyses may not be

achieved, and actual losses or impairments may be realized in the future.

Real Estate Held For Sale And Discontinued Operations

Real Estate Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations

When assets are identified by management as held for sale, the Company discontinues depreciating the assets and estimates the sales price, net of selling costs, of such assets. The Company generally considers assets (as identified by their disposal groups) to be held for sale when the transaction has received appropriate corporate authority, it is probable to be sold within the following 12 months, and there are no significant contingencies relating to a sale. If, in management’s opinion, the estimated net sales price, net of selling costs, of the disposal groups which have been identified as held for sale is less than the carrying value of the assets, a valuation allowance (which is recorded as unrealized losses on disposition of rental property) is established. In the absence of an executed sales agreement with a set sales price, management’s estimate of the net sales price may be based on a number of assumptions, including but not limited to the Company’s estimates of future and stabilized cash flows, market capitalization rates and discount rates, if applicable. For developable land, an estimated per-unit market value assumption is also considered based on development rights for the land. In addition, the Company classifies assets held for sale or sold as discontinued operations if the disposal groups represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. For any disposals qualifying as discontinued operations, the assets and their results are presented in discontinued operations in the financial statements for all periods presented. See Note 7: Discontinued Operations.

If circumstances arise that previously were considered unlikely and, as a result, the Company decides not to sell an asset previously classified as held for sale, the asset is reclassified as held and used. An asset that is reclassified is measured and recorded individually at the lower of (a) its carrying value before the asset was classified as held for sale, adjusted for any depreciation (amortization) expense that would have been recognized had the asset been continuously classified as held and used, or (b) the fair value at the date of the subsequent decision not to sell. 

Investments In Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures 

The Company accounts for its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures under the equity method of accounting. The Company applies the equity method by initially recording these investments at cost, as Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures, subsequently adjusted for equity in earnings and cash contributions and distributions. The outside basis portion of the Company’s joint ventures is amortized over the anticipated useful lives of the underlying ventures’ tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Generally, the Company would discontinue applying the equity method when the investment (and any advances) is reduced to zero and would not provide for additional losses unless the Company has guaranteed obligations of the venture or is otherwise committed to providing further financial support for the investee. If the venture subsequently generates income, the Company only recognizes its share of such income to the extent it exceeds its share of previously unrecognized losses.

If the venture subsequently makes distributions and the Company does not have an implied or actual commitment to support the operations of the venture, the Company will not record a basis less than zero, rather such amounts will be recorded as equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures. 

On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of the Company’s investments in unconsolidated joint ventures may be impaired. An investment is impaired only if management’s estimate of the value of the investment is less than the carrying value of the investment, and such decline in value is deemed to be other than temporary. To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss shall be measured as the excess of the carrying value of the investment over the value of the investment. The Company’s estimates of value for each investment (particularly in real estate joint ventures) are based on a number of assumptions including but not limited to estimates of future and stabilized cash flows, market capitalization rates and discount rates, if applicable. These assumptions are based on management's experience in its local real estate markets and the effects of current market conditions. The assumptions are subject to economic and market uncertainties including, among others, demand for space, competition for tenants, changes in market rental rates, and operating costs. As these factors are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter management’s assumptions, the values estimated by management in its impairment analyses may not be realized, and actual losses or impairment may be realized in the future. See Note 4: Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures. 

Cash And Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

All highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased are considered to be cash equivalents. 

Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred Financing Costs

Costs incurred in obtaining financing are capitalized and amortized over the term of the related indebtedness. Deferred financing costs are presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the debt liability to which they relate, except deferred financing costs related to the revolving credit facility, which are presented in deferred charges, goodwill and other assets. In all cases,

amortization of such costs is included in interest expense and was $1,024,000 and $1,189,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. If a financing obligation is extinguished early, any unamortized deferred financing costs are written off and included in gains (losses) from extinguishment of debt.

Deferred Leasing Costs/Leasing Personnel Costs

Deferred Leasing Costs/Leasing Personnel Costs

Costs incurred in connection with successfully executed commercial and residential leases were capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases and included in depreciation and amortization. Unamortized deferred leasing costs were charged to amortization expense upon early termination of the lease. Certain employees of the Company are compensated for providing leasing services to the Properties. Upon the adoption of ASC 842 on January 1, 2019, the Company no longer capitalizes such costs, and includes such leasing personnel costs in General and administrative expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations, which amounted to $1,038,000 and $742,000 for the three months ended and March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Goodwill

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is allocated to various reporting units, as applicable. Each of the Company’s segments consists of a reporting unit. Goodwill is not amortized. Management performs an annual impairment test for goodwill during the fourth quarter and between annual tests, management evaluates the recoverability of goodwill whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of goodwill may not be fully recoverable. In its impairment tests of goodwill, management first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If, based on this assessment, management determines that the fair value of the reporting unit is not less than its carrying value, then performing the additional two-step impairment test is unnecessary. If the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is recognized.

Derivative Instruments

Derivative Instruments

The Company measures derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, at fair value and records them as an asset or liability, depending on the Company’s rights or obligations under the applicable derivative contract. For derivatives designated and qualifying as fair value hedges, the changes in the fair value of both the derivative instrument and the hedged item are recorded in earnings. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portions of the derivative are reported in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and are subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged item affects earnings. Changes in fair value of derivative instruments not designated as hedging and ineffective portions of hedges are recognized in earnings in the affected period.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from leases includes fixed base rents under leases, which are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases. Unbilled rents receivable represents the cumulative amount by which straight-line rental revenue exceeds rents currently billed in accordance with the lease agreements.

Above-market and below-market lease values for acquired properties are initially recorded based on the present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for each corresponding in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above-market leases and the remaining initial term plus the term of any below-market fixed-rate renewal options for below-market leases. The capitalized above-market lease values for acquired properties are amortized as a reduction of revenue from leases over the remaining terms of the respective leases, and the capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to revenue from leases over the remaining initial terms plus the terms of any below-market fixed-rate renewal options of the respective leases.

The Company elected a practical expedient for its rental properties (as lessor) to avoid separating non-lease components that otherwise would need to be accounted for under the recently-adopted revenue accounting guidance (such as tenant reimbursements of property operating expenses) from the associated lease component since (1) the non-lease components have the same timing and pattern of transfer as the associated lease component and (2) the lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease; this enables the Company to account for the combination of the lease component and non-lease components as an operating lease since the lease component is the predominant component of the combined components.   

Due to the Company’s adoption of the practical expedient discussed above to not separate non-lease component revenue from the associated lease component, the Company is aggregating revenue from its lease components and non-lease components (comprised predominantly of tenant operating expense reimbursements) into the line entitled “Revenue from leases.” 

Revenue from leases also includes reimbursements and recoveries from tenants received from tenants for certain costs as provided in the lease agreements. These costs generally include real estate taxes, utilities, insurance, common area maintenance and other recoverable costs. See Note 14: Tenant Leases.

Real estate services revenue includes property management, development, construction and leasing commission fees and other services, and payroll and related costs reimbursed from clients. Fee income derived from the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures (which are capitalized by such ventures) are recognized to the extent attributable to the unaffiliated ownership interests.

Parking income includes income from parking spaces leased to tenants and others.

Hotel income includes all revenue earned from hotel properties.

Other income includes income from tenants for additional services arranged for by the Company and income from tenants for early lease terminations.

All bad debt expense is being recorded as a reduction of the corresponding revenue account starting on January 1, 2019. Management performs a detailed review of amounts due from tenants for collectability based on factors affecting the billings and status of individual tenants. The factors considered by management in determining which individual tenant’s revenues are affected include the age of the receivable, the tenant’s payment history, the nature of the charges, any communications regarding the charges and other related information. Management’s estimate of bad debt write-off’s requires management to exercise judgment about the timing, frequency and severity of collection losses, which affects the revenue recorded. 

Income And Other Taxes

Income and Other Taxes

The General Partner has elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “IRS Code”). As a REIT, the General Partner generally will not be subject to corporate federal income tax on net income that it currently distributes to its shareholders, provided that the General Partner satisfies certain organizational and operational requirements including the requirement to distribute at least 90 percent of its REIT taxable income (determined by excluding any net capital gains) to its shareholders. If and to the extent the General Partner retains and does not distribute any net capital gains, the General Partner will be required to pay federal, state and local taxes, as applicable, on such net capital gains at the rate applicable to capital gains of a corporation.

The Operating Partnership is a partnership, and, as a result, all income and losses of the partnership are allocated to the partners for inclusion in their respective tax returns. Accordingly, no provision or benefit for income taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements.

The General Partner has elected to treat certain of its corporate subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries (each a “TRS”). In general, a TRS of the General Partner may perform additional services for tenants of the Company and generally may engage in any real estate or non-real estate related business (except for the operation or management of health care facilities or lodging facilities or the providing to any person, under a franchise, license or otherwise, rights to any brand name under which any lodging facility or health care facility is operated). A TRS is subject to corporate federal income tax. The General Partner has conducted business through its TRS entities for certain property management, development, construction and other related services, as well as to hold a joint venture interest in a hotel and other matters.

The deferred tax asset balance at March 31, 2020 amounted to $10.1 million which has been fully reserved through a valuation allowance. New tax reform legislation enacted in late 2017 reduced the corporate tax rate to 21 percent, effective January 1, 2018.  Consequently, the Company’s deferred tax assets were re-measured to reflect the reduction in the future U.S. corporate income tax rate as of the enactment date. As a result, the Company recorded a decrease related to its deferred tax assets of $5.3 million and a decrease to the associated valuation allowance of $5.3 million at December 31, 2017. If the General Partner fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates. The Company is subject to certain state and local taxes.

Pursuant to the amended provisions related to uncertain tax provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes, the Company recognized no material adjustments regarding its tax accounting treatment. The Company expects to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, as income tax expense, which is included in general and administrative expense.

In the normal course of business, the Company or one of its subsidiaries is subject to examination by federal, state and local jurisdictions in which it operates, where applicable. As of March 31, 2020, the tax years that remain subject to examination by the major tax jurisdictions under the statute of limitations are generally from the year 2015 forward.

Earnings Per Share Or Unit

Earnings Per Share or Unit 

The Company presents both basic and diluted earnings per share or unit (“EPS or EPU”). Basic EPS or EPU excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders or unitholders by the weighted average number of shares or units outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS or EPU reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock, where such exercise or conversion would result in a lower EPS or EPU from continuing operations amount. Shares or units whose issuance is contingent upon the satisfaction of certain conditions shall be considered outstanding and included in the computation of diluted EPS or EPU as follows (i) if all necessary conditions have been satisfied by the end of the period (the events have occurred), those shares or units shall be included as of the beginning of the period in which the conditions were satisfied (or as of the date of the grant, if later) or (ii) if all necessary conditions have not been satisfied by the end of the period, the number of contingently issuable shares or units included in diluted EPS or EPU shall be based on the number of shares or units, if any, that would be issuable if the end of the reporting period were the end of the contingency period (for example, the number of shares or units that would be issuable based on current period earnings or period-end market price) and if the result would be dilutive. Those contingently issuable shares or units shall be included in the denominator of diluted EPS or EPU as of the beginning of the period (or as of the date of the grant, if later).

Dividends And Distributions Payable

Dividends and Distributions Payable

The dividends and distributions payable at March 31, 2020 represents dividends payable to common shareholders (90,596,168 shares) and distributions payable to noncontrolling interests unitholders of the Operating Partnership (9,394,754 common units and 3,218,208 vested and unvested LTIP units), for all such holders of record as of April 2, 2020 with respect to the first quarter 2020. The first quarter 2020 common stock dividends and unit distributions of $0.20 per common share (total of $18.1 million), common unit (total of $1.9 million) and LTIP unit (total of $0.4 million) were approved by the General Partner’s Board of Directors on March 23, 2020 and paid on April 14, 2020.

The dividends and distributions payable at December 31, 2019 represents dividends payable to common shareholders (90,595,197 shares) and distributions payable to noncontrolling interests unitholders of the Operating Partnership (9,488,794 common units and 1,949,601 vested and unvested LTIP units) for all such holders of record as of January 3, 2020 with respect to the fourth quarter 2019. The fourth quarter 2019 common stock dividends and unit distributions of $0.20 per common share (total of $18.1 million), common unit (total of $1.9 million) and LTIP unit (total of $0.4 million) were approved by the General Partner’s Board of Directors on December 17, 2019 and paid on January 10, 2020.

Costs Incurred For Stock Issuances

Costs Incurred For Stock Issuances

Costs incurred in connection with the Company’s stock issuances are reflected as a reduction of additional paid-in capital.

Stock Compensation

Stock Compensation

The Company accounts for stock compensation in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. These provisions require that the estimated fair value of restricted stock (“Restricted Stock Awards”), performance share units, long-term incentive plan awards and stock options at the grant date be amortized ratably into expense over the appropriate vesting period. The Company recorded stock compensation expense of $2,530,000 and $1,880,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Other comprehensive income (loss) includes items that are recorded in equity, such as effective portions of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges or unrealized holding gains or losses on marketable securities available for sale.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

The Company evaluates the terms of the partnership units issued in accordance with the FASB’s Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity guidance. Units which embody an unconditional obligation requiring the Company to redeem the units for cash after a specified or determinable date (or dates) or upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within the control of the issuer are determined to be contingently redeemable under this guidance and are included as Redeemable noncontrolling interests and classified within the mezzanine section between Total liabilities and Stockholders’ equity on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The carrying amount of the redeemable noncontrolling interests will be changed by periodic accretions, so that the carrying amount will equal the estimated future redemption value at the redemption date.

Fair Value Hierarchy

Fair Value Hierarchy

The standard Fair Value Measurements specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based upon whether the inputs to those valuation techniques reflect assumptions other market participants would use based upon market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs). The following summarizes the fair value hierarchy:

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets that are unadjusted and accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

Level 2: Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are inactive, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals and

Level 3: Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

Impact Of Recently-Issued Accounting Standards

Impact of Recently-Issued Accounting Standards

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (“ASU 2016-13”). The guidance introduces a new model for estimating credit losses for certain types of financial instruments, including trade and lease receivables, loans receivable, held-to-maturity debt securities, and net investments in direct financing leases, amongst other financial instruments. ASU 2016-13 also modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities and expands the disclosure requirements regarding an entity’s assumptions, models, and methods for estimating the allowance for losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging: Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities (“ASU 2017-12”). The purpose of ASU 2017-12 is to better align a company’s financial reporting for hedging activities with the economic objectives of those activities. The Company has adopted ASU 2017-12 on January 1, 2019. ASU 2017-12 requires a modified retrospective transition method which requires a cumulative effect of the change on the opening balance of each affected component of equity in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of the date of adoption. Upon adoption the Company recorded a cumulative adjustment specifically related to the elimination of the requirement for separate measurement of hedge ineffectiveness. As a result, the Company recorded an opening balance adjustment as of January 1, 2019 to dividends in excess of net earnings of $0.4 million with a corresponding change to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

Investments In Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

4.    INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURES

As of March 31, 2020, the Company had an aggregate investment of approximately $202.6 million in its equity method joint ventures. The Company formed these ventures with unaffiliated third parties, or acquired interests in them, to develop or manage primarily office and multi-family rental properties, or to acquire land in anticipation of possible development of office and multi-family rental properties. As of March 31, 2020, the unconsolidated joint ventures owned: two office properties aggregating approximately 0.2 million square feet, seven multi-family properties totaling 2,611 apartments units, a retail property aggregating approximately 51,000 square feet, a 351-room hotel, a development project for up to approximately 360 apartments units; and interests and/or rights to developable land parcels able to accommodate up to 3,220 apartments units. The Company’s unconsolidated interests range from 20 percent to 85 percent subject to specified priority allocations in certain of the joint ventures.

The amounts reflected in the following tables (except for the Company’s share of equity in earnings) are based on the historical financial information of the individual joint ventures. The Company does not record losses of the joint ventures in excess of its investment balances unless the Company is liable for the obligations of the joint venture or is otherwise committed to provide financial support to the joint venture. The outside basis portion of the Company’s investments in joint ventures is amortized over the anticipated useful lives of the underlying ventures’ tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Unless otherwise noted below, the debt of the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures generally is non-recourse to the Company, except for customary exceptions pertaining to such matters as intentional misuse of funds, environmental conditions, and material misrepresentations.

The Company has agreed to guarantee repayment of a portion of the debt of its unconsolidated joint ventures. As of March 31, 2020, such debt had a total borrowing capacity of up to $322.2 million of which the Company agreed to guarantee up to $35 million. As of March 31, 2020, the outstanding balance of such debt totaled $252 million of which $28 million was guaranteed by the Company. The Company performed management, leasing, development and other services for the properties owned by the unconsolidated joint ventures and recognized $0.6 million and $0.3 million for such services in the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company had $0.4 million and $0.6 million in accounts receivable due from its unconsolidated joint ventures as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Included in the Company’s investments in unconsolidated joint ventures as of March 31, 2020 are three unconsolidated development joint ventures, which are VIEs for which the Company is not the primary beneficiary. These joint ventures are primarily established to develop real estate property for long-term investment and were deemed VIEs primarily based on the fact that the equity investment at risk was not sufficient to permit the entities to finance their activities without additional financial support. The initial equity contributed to these entities was not sufficient to fully finance the real estate construction as development costs are funded by the partners throughout the construction period. The Company determined that it was not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs based on the fact that the Company has shared control of these entities along with the entity’s partners and therefore does not have controlling financial interests in these VIEs. The Company’s aggregate investment in these VIEs was approximately $113.8 million as of March 31, 2020. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with these VIEs is estimated to be approximately $148.8 million, which includes the Company’s current investment and estimated future funding commitments/guarantees of approximately $35.0 million. The Company has not provided financial support to these VIEs that it was not previously contractually required to provide. In general, future costs of development not financed through third parties will be funded with capital contributions from the Company and its outside partners in accordance with their respective ownership percentages. 

The following is a summary of the Company's unconsolidated joint ventures as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 (dollars in thousands):

Investments In Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

4.    INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURES

As of March 31, 2020, the Company had an aggregate investment of approximately $202.6 million in its equity method joint ventures. The Company formed these ventures with unaffiliated third parties, or acquired interests in them, to develop or manage primarily office and multi-family rental properties, or to acquire land in anticipation of possible development of office and multi-family rental properties. As of March 31, 2020, the unconsolidated joint ventures owned: two office properties aggregating approximately 0.2 million square feet, seven multi-family properties totaling 2,611 apartments units, a retail property aggregating approximately 51,000 square feet, a 351-room hotel, a development project for up to approximately 360 apartments units; and interests and/or rights to developable land parcels able to accommodate up to 3,220 apartments units. The Company’s unconsolidated interests range from 20 percent to 85 percent subject to specified priority allocations in certain of the joint ventures.

The amounts reflected in the following tables (except for the Company’s share of equity in earnings) are based on the historical financial information of the individual joint ventures. The Company does not record losses of the joint ventures in excess of its investment balances unless the Company is liable for the obligations of the joint venture or is otherwise committed to provide financial support to the joint venture. The outside basis portion of the Company’s investments in joint ventures is amortized over the anticipated useful lives of the underlying ventures’ tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Unless otherwise noted below, the debt of the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures generally is non-recourse to the Company, except for customary exceptions pertaining to such matters as intentional misuse of funds, environmental conditions, and material misrepresentations.

The Company has agreed to guarantee repayment of a portion of the debt of its unconsolidated joint ventures. As of March 31, 2020, such debt had a total borrowing capacity of up to $322.2 million of which the Company agreed to guarantee up to $35 million. As of March 31, 2020, the outstanding balance of such debt totaled $252 million of which $28 million was guaranteed by the Company. The Company performed management, leasing, development and other services for the properties owned by the unconsolidated joint ventures and recognized $0.6 million and $0.3 million for such services in the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company had $0.4 million and $0.6 million in accounts receivable due from its unconsolidated joint ventures as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Included in the Company’s investments in unconsolidated joint ventures as of March 31, 2020 are three unconsolidated development joint ventures, which are VIEs for which the Company is not the primary beneficiary. These joint ventures are primarily established to develop real estate property for long-term investment and were deemed VIEs primarily based on the fact that the equity investment at risk was not sufficient to permit the entities to finance their activities without additional financial support. The initial equity contributed to these entities was not sufficient to fully finance the real estate construction as development costs are funded by the partners throughout the construction period. The Company determined that it was not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs based on the fact that the Company has shared control of these entities along with the entity’s partners and therefore does not have controlling financial interests in these VIEs. The Company’s aggregate investment in these VIEs was approximately $113.8 million as of March 31, 2020. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with these VIEs is estimated to be approximately $148.8 million, which includes the Company’s current investment and estimated future funding commitments/guarantees of approximately $35.0 million. The Company has not provided financial support to these VIEs that it was not previously contractually required to provide. In general, future costs of development not financed through third parties will be funded with capital contributions from the Company and its outside partners in accordance with their respective ownership percentages. 

The following is a summary of the Company's unconsolidated joint ventures as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 (dollars in thousands):
