PART I

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This report combines the Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 of Tanger Inc., a North Carolina corporation and Tanger Properties Limited Partnership, a North Carolina limited partnership. Unless the context indicates otherwise, the term "Company", refers to Tanger Inc. and its subsidiaries and the term "Operating Partnership" refers to Tanger Properties Limited Partnership and its subsidiaries. The terms “we”, “our” and “us” refer to the Company or the Company and the Operating Partnership together, as the context requires. On November 16, 2023, the Company changed its legal name from Tanger Factory Outlet Centers, Inc. to Tanger Inc. We refer to Tanger Inc.’s current legal name throughout this Annual Report on Form 10-K (the "Annual Report").

The Company is one of the leading owner and operators of outlet and open-air retail centers in the United States and Canada. The Company is a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust ("REIT"), which, through its controlling interest in the Operating Partnership, focuses on developing, acquiring, owning, operating and managing outlet and open-air shopping centers. The shopping centers and other assets are held by, and all of the operations are conducted by, the Operating Partnership. Accordingly, the descriptions of the business, employees and assets of the Company are also descriptions of the business, employees and assets of the Operating Partnership. As the Operating Partnership is the issuer of our registered debt securities, we are required to present a separate set of financial statements for this entity.

In November 2021, the Company was admitted as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. Prior to this administrative change, the Company owned the majority of the units of partnership interest issued by the Operating Partnership through its two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Tanger GP Trust and Tanger LP Trust. Tanger GP Trust controlled the Operating Partnership as its sole general partner and Tanger LP Trust held a limited partnership interest therein. Following the aforementioned change to the ownership structure, the Company replaced Tanger GP Trust as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and Tanger LP Trust retained its limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership.

The Company, including Tanger LP Trust, owns the majority of the units of partnership interests issued by the Operating Partnership. As of December 31, 2023, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries owned 108,793,251 units of the Operating Partnership and other limited partners (the "Non-Company LPs") collectively owned 4,707,958 Class A common limited partnership units. Each Class A common limited partnership unit held by the Non-Company LPs is exchangeable for one of the Company's common shares, subject to certain limitations to preserve the Company's status as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Class B common limited partnership units, which are held by Tanger LP Trust, are not exchangeable for common shares of the Company.

Management operates the Company and the Operating Partnership as one enterprise. The management of the Company consists of the same members as the management of the Operating Partnership. These individuals are officers of the Company and employees of the Operating Partnership.

We believe combining the Annual Reports on Form 10-K of the Company and the Operating Partnership into this single Annual Report provides the following benefits:

enhancing investors' understanding of the Company 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;

eliminating duplicative disclosure and providing a more streamlined and readable presentation since a substantial portion of the disclosure applies to both the Company and the Operating Partnership; and

creating time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined Annual Report instead of two separate Annual Reports.

There are only a few differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership, which are reflected in the disclosure in this Annual Report. We believe it is important, however, to understand these differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership in the context of how the Company and the Operating Partnership operate as an interrelated consolidated company.

As stated above, the Company is a REIT, whose only material asset is its ownership of partnership interests of the Operating Partnership, including through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Tanger LP Trust. As a result, the Company does not conduct business itself, other than issuing public equity from time to time and incurring expenses required to operate as a public company. However, all operating expenses incurred by the Company are reimbursed by the Operating Partnership, thus the only material item on the Company's income statement is its equity in the earnings of the Operating Partnership. Therefore, the assets and liabilities and the revenues and expenses of the Company and the Operating Partnership are the same on their respective financial statements, except for immaterial differences related to cash, other assets and accrued liabilities that arise from public company expenses paid by the Company. The Company itself does not hold any indebtedness but does guarantee certain debt of the Operating Partnership, as disclosed in this Annual Report.

The Operating Partnership holds all of the shopping centers and other assets, including the ownership interests in consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures. The Operating Partnership conducts the operations of the business and is structured as a partnership with no publicly traded equity. Except for net proceeds from public equity issuances by the Company, which are contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for partnership units, the Operating Partnership generates the capital required through its operations, its incurrence of indebtedness or through the issuance of partnership units.

Noncontrolling interests, shareholder's equity and partners' capital are the main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of the Company and those of the Operating Partnership. The limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership held by the Non-Company LPs are accounted for as partners' capital in the Operating Partnership's financial statements and as noncontrolling interests in the Company's financial statements.

To help investors understand the significant differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership, this Annual Report presents the following separate sections for each of the Company and the Operating Partnership:

Consolidated financial statements;

The following notes to the consolidated financial statements:

Debt of the Company and the Operating Partnership;

Shareholders' Equity and Partners' Equity;

Earnings Per Share and Earnings Per Unit;

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income of the Company and the Operating Partnership; and

Liquidity and Capital Resources in the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

This Annual Report also includes separate Item 9A. Controls and Procedures sections and separate Exhibit 31 and Exhibit 32 certifications for each of the Company and the Operating Partnership in order to establish that the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer of each entity have made the requisite certifications and that the Company and Operating Partnership are compliant with Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and 18 U.S.C. §1350.

The separate sections in this Annual Report for the Company and the Operating Partnership specifically refer to the Company and the Operating Partnership. In the sections that combine disclosure of the Company and the Operating Partnership, this Annual Report refers to actions or holdings as being actions or holdings of the Company. Although the Operating Partnership is generally the entity that enters into contracts and joint ventures and holds assets and debt, reference to the Company is appropriate because the business is one enterprise and the Company operates the business through the Operating Partnership.

The Company currently consolidates the Operating Partnership because it has (1) the power to direct the activities of the Operating Partnership that most significantly impact the Operating Partnership’s economic performance and (2) the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive the residual returns of the Operating Partnership that could be potentially significant. The separate discussions of the Company and the Operating Partnership in this Annual Report should be read in conjunction with each other to understand the results of the Company on a consolidated basis and how management operates the Company.

ITEM 1.BUSINESS

The Company and the Operating Partnership

Tanger Inc. and its subsidiaries, which we refer to as the Company, is one of the leading owners and operators of outlet and open-air centers in the United States and Canada. We are a fully-integrated, self-administered and self-managed REIT, which focuses on developing, acquiring, owning, operating and managing outlet and open-air shopping centers. As of December 31, 2023, our consolidated portfolio consisted of 31 outlet centers and one open-air lifestyle center, with a total gross leasable area of approximately 12.7 million square feet, which were 97% occupied and contained over 2,400 stores representing approximately 660 store brands. We also had partial ownership interests in 6 unconsolidated centers totaling approximately 2.1 million square feet, including 2 centers in Canada. Our portfolio also includes two managed centers totaling approximately 760,000 square feet. Each of our centers, except one joint venture center, features the Tanger brand name.

Our shopping centers and other assets are held by, and all of our operations are conducted by, Tanger Properties Limited Partnership and its subsidiaries, which we refer to collectively as the Operating Partnership. The Company, including its wholly-owned subsidiary, Tanger LP Trust, owns the majority of the units of partnership interest issued by the Operating Partnership. The Company controls the Operating Partnership as its sole general partner. Tanger LP Trust holds a limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries owned 108,793,251 units of the Operating Partnership and the Non-Company LPs collectively owned 4,707,958 Class A common limited partnership units. Each Class A common limited partnership unit held by the Non-Company LPs is exchangeable for one of the Company's common shares, subject to certain limitations to preserve the Company's status as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Class B common limited partnership units, which are held by Tanger LP Trust, are not exchangeable for common shares of the Company.

Ownership of the Company's common shares is restricted to preserve the Company's status as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Subject to certain exceptions, a person may not actually or constructively own more than 9.8% of our common shares. We also operate in a manner intended to enable us to preserve our status as a REIT, including, among other things, making distributions with respect to our then outstanding common shares and preferred shares, if applicable, equal to at least 90% of our taxable income each year, excluding net capital gains.

The Company is a North Carolina corporation that was incorporated in March 1993 and the Operating Partnership is a North Carolina limited partnership that was formed in May 1993. Our executive offices are currently located at 3200 Northline Avenue, Suite 360, Greensboro, North Carolina, 27408 and our telephone number is (336) 292-3010.

Recent Developments

New Development

In October 2023, we opened a 291,000 square foot outlet center in Nashville, Tennessee. The open-air center offers shopping and dining across seven retail buildings and a unique, placemaking community space. Tanger Nashville reflects our commitment to diversify and enhance the shopping experience for our customers with nearly one quarter of the center’s dynamic assortment of retailers being new to our portfolio or first to the outlet channel.
8



Acquisitions

In November 2023, we acquired a 382,000-square-foot, open-air outlet center in Asheville, North Carolina for $70 million. The established center is occupied by a diverse mix of brands that includes leading home furnishings providers as well as iconic apparel, footwear and accessories brands.
In addition, in November 2023, we acquired Bridge Street Town Centre, an 825,000-square-foot, open-air lifestyle center in Huntsville, Alabama for $193.5 million. The center serves as the dominant shopping destination in its market and comprises over 80 retail stores, restaurants, and entertainment venues, including approximately 174,000 square feet ground leased to tenants.

Financing Transactions

ATM Equity Offerings
During 2023, we sold 3.5 million common shares under our at-the-market stock offering (“ATM Offering”) program at a weighted average price of $25.75 per share, generating gross proceeds of $90.0 million. As of December 31, 2023, we have a remaining authorization of $220.1 million under the ATM Offering.

Derivatives
Throughout 2023, we entered into $325.0 million of forward starting daily Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“Daily SOFR”) interest rate swaps at an average fixed pay rate of 3.9%. The swaps were effective February 1, 2024 and end at various dates from February 1, 2026 to January 1, 2027. These swaps replaced $300.0 million of existing swaps that expired on February 1, 2024 as part of our interest rate risk management strategy.

Unconsolidated Real Estate Joint Ventures Financing Transactions

Houston/Galveston, Texas
In June 2023, the Galveston/Houston joint venture completed the refinance of its mortgage. The new $58.0 million loan has a maturity date of June 2026 and an interest rate of Daily SOFR + 3.00%. In conjunction with this refinance, the joint venture entered into a $29.0 million interest rate swap that fixes Daily SOFR at 4.44% until December 2025.

Organizational Changes

In July 2023, Bridget Ryan-Berman, who had been a member of the Company's board of directors ("Board") since January 1, 2009, was appointed lead independent director, a position previously held by Board member David B. Henry.

In September 2023, Jessica K. Norman joined the Company as the Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary.

Effective January 1, 2024, Steven B. Tanger transitioned from his role as Executive Chair of the Board to Non-Executive Chair of the Board in connection with his retirement from the Company under the terms of his employment agreement.

Business Strategy

Our Company was built on a firm foundation of strong and enduring business relationships coupled with disciplined business practices. We partner with many of the world's best known and most respected brands and retailers. By fostering and maintaining strong relationships with these successful, high volume companies, we believe we have been able to solidify our position as a leader in the outlet and open-air retail industry for over thirty years. The confidence and trust that we have developed with our retail partners from the very beginning has allowed us to forge the impressive retail alliances that we enjoy today with our brands and retailers. Our seasoned team of professionals with diverse sets of expertise utilize the knowledge and experience that we have gained to give us a competitive advantage in the outlet and open-air retail business.

The Outlet Concept

Outlet centers generally consist of stores operated by brands and retailers that sell primarily branded products, some of which are made specifically for the outlet distribution channel, to consumers at significant discounts from regular retail prices charged by department stores, specialty stores and their own full price channels. Outlet centers offer advantages to brands and retailers as they are often able to charge customers lower prices for branded and designer products by eliminating the third party retailer or through operating efficiencies. Stores and outlet centers also typically have lower operating costs than other retailing formats, enhancing their profit potential. Outlet centers enable retailers to optimize the size of production runs and their inventory positions while continuing to maintain control of their distribution channels. Outlet centers also enable brands and retailers to establish a direct relationship with their customers and maintain brand integrity through control of product placement and pricing.

Our Centers

Each of our centers, except one joint venture center, features the Tanger brand name. Additionally, we leverage the Tanger brand and platform to manage centers in Palm Beach, Florida. We believe that our tenants and consumers recognize the Tanger brand as one that provides retail centers where consumers can trust the brand, value and experience.

In addition to our Tanger branded outlet portfolio, we recently acquired our first open-air lifestyle center in Huntsville, Alabama which was a natural extension of our capabilities and consistent with our long-term strategy of investing in dominant open-air retail centers in markets that benefit from outsized residential and tourism growth.

As one of the original participants in the outlet industry and through key additions to our executive, leasing, operating and center teams, we have long-standing relationships with many of our tenants that we believe are critical in operating, managing, developing, and acquiring successful centers.

Our consolidated centers are typically located in a variety of geographical areas, including high frequency tourist destinations and suburbs of vibrant and fast-growing markets. Additionally, our centers are often situated in close proximity to interstate highways that provide accessibility and visibility to potential customers.

We have a diverse tenant base throughout our consolidated portfolio comprising over 2,400 stores operated by more than 660 different brand name companies. Our centers offer shoppers a curated mix of retailers specializing in apparel, footwear, accessories, athletic wear, athleisure, home furnishings, health and beauty, and digitally-native brands. Additionally, we are adding food, beverage, and entertainment options, along with other services, at our centers to attract new shoppers, extend visitor dwell time and increase frequency of visits.

No single tenant, including all of its store concepts, accounted for 10% or more of our combined base and percentage rental revenues during the years ended 2023, 2022 or 2021. As of December 31, 2023, no single tenant accounted for more than 8% of our leasable square feet or 6% of our combined base and percentage rental revenues.

10



A portion of our rental revenues are dependent on variable revenue sources. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the components of rental revenues are as follows (in thousands):
2023
Rental revenues - fixed$343,433 
Rental revenues - variable (1)
95,456 
Rental revenues$438,889 
(1)Primarily includes rents based on a percentage of tenant gross sales volume and reimbursable expenses such as common area expenses, utilities, insurance and real estate taxes, which are paid on a pro rata basis.

Business History

Stanley K. Tanger, the Company's founder, entered the outlet center business in 1981. Prior to founding the Company, Stanley K. Tanger and his son, Steven B. Tanger, our Non-Executive Chair, built and managed a successful family-owned apparel manufacturing business, Tanger/Creighton, Inc. In June 1993, we completed our initial public offering and subsequently grew our portfolio through the strategic development, expansion and acquisition of outlet and open-air retail centers. In April 2020, Stephen Yalof, a successful and proven retail and real estate executive, joined the Company as President and Chief Operating Officer, as part of an executive succession plan for the role of Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Yalof became the Chief Executive Officer of the Company effective January 1, 2021.

Growth Strategy

Our goal is to build shareholder value through a comprehensive, disciplined plan for sustained, long-term growth. We focus our efforts on increasing net operating income at our existing centers, renovating and optimizing selected centers and pursuing disciplined external growth in our current markets and potential new markets through selective ground-up development or the acquisition of retail real estate. Future retail real estate assets may be wholly-owned by us, owned through joint ventures or partnership arrangements, or through management agreements.

Increasing net operating income at existing centers

Our leasing team focuses on optimizing the use of our real estate to attract and engage best in class brands and retailers with a focus on maximizing consumer demand and rent. The majority of our leases are negotiated to provide for inflation-based contractual rent increases or periodic fixed contractual rent increases and percentage rents. We have historically been able to renew many leases at higher base rents per square-foot and replace underperforming tenants with new or existing brands in our portfolio. Given the current retail environment, we may choose to execute leases with new tenants or renew certain tenants to enhance our tenant mix or maintain a high portfolio occupancy rate. In addition, we are focused on generating non-store revenues (other revenues), through marketing partnerships, media and return on investment ("ROI") driven sustainability initiatives, and actively managing property operating expenses and marketing expenses as a means of growing net operating income.

Developing new centers

We believe that there continue to be opportunities to introduce the Tanger brand in untapped or under-served markets across the United States and Canada in the long-term. We believe our expertise in the outlet and open-air retail industry, extensive development expertise and strong retail relationships give us a distinct competitive advantage.

In order to help ensure the viability of proceeding with a project, we first gauge the interest of our retail partners. We typically prefer to have signed leases or leases out for negotiation with tenants for at least 60% of the space in each center prior to acquiring the site and beginning construction; however, we may choose to proceed with construction with less than 60% of the space pre-leased under certain circumstances. Construction of a new center typically takes us 12 to 18 months from groundbreaking to the grand opening of the center.

11



Expanding and renovating existing centers

Keeping our centers vibrant and growing is a key part of our formula for success. In order to maintain our reputation as the premier shopping destination in the markets that we serve, we have an ongoing program of renovations and expansions taking place at our centers. Construction for expansion and renovation to existing properties typically takes less time, usually between six to nine months depending on the scope of the project.

Acquiring retail real estate

We may selectively choose to acquire individual properties or portfolios of properties that meet our strategic investment criteria. We believe that our extensive experience in the retail business, access to capital markets, familiarity with real estate markets and our management experience will allow us to evaluate and execute our acquisition strategy successfully over time. Through our tenant relationships, our teams have the ability to implement a re-merchandising strategy when needed to increase occupancy rates, optimize rents and maximize value. We believe that our brand operating platform and operational expertise and overall retail industry experience will also allow us to add long-term value and viability to these assets.

Operating Strategy

Increasing cash flow to enhance the value of our properties and operations remains a primary business objective. Through targeted marketing and operational efficiencies, we strive to improve sales and profitability of our tenants and our centers as a whole. Achieving higher base and percentage rents and generating additional income from temporary leasing, media and other non-store sources also remains an important focus and goal.

Leasing

Our long-standing retailer relationships and our focus on identifying emerging retailers allow us the ability to provide our shoppers with a collection of the world's most popular retailers. Tanger customers shop and save on their favorite branded merchandise including men's, women's and children's ready-to-wear, digitally native brands, lifestyle apparel, footwear, jewelry and accessories, tableware, housewares, luggage and home goods. In addition, we are focused on adding non-traditional uses to our tenant mix, including experiential and food and beverage tenants. In order for our centers to perform at a high level, our leasing professionals continually monitor and evaluate tenant mix, store size, store location and sales performance. They also work to assist our tenants through re-sizing and re-location of retail space within each of our centers for maximum sales of each retail unit across our portfolio.

Marketing
Our comprehensive marketing plans are designed to drive sales and traffic in partnership with our retail partners. We leverage data to enable a return on investment-oriented performance marketing approach for efficient customer acquisition. Investments to transform our digital channels allow us to engage existing customers with timely and personalized communications. Our loyalty strategies are two pronged – earning increased wallet share with vested customers and optimizing an incremental ancillary revenue stream. Our efforts to engage broad audiences through seasonal events and our digital channels enable our ability to monetize our customer audience for media and sponsorship opportunities with retail partners and nationally trusted brands.

Capital Strategy

We believe we achieve a strong and flexible financial position by attempting to: (1) maintain a conservative leverage position relative to our portfolio when pursuing new development, expansion and acquisition opportunities, (2) extend and sequence debt maturities, (3) manage our interest rate risk through an appropriate mix of fixed and variable rate debt and interest rate hedging strategies, (4) maintain access to liquidity by using our lines of credit in a conservative manner and (5) preserve internally generated sources of capital by maintaining a conservative distribution payout ratio. We manage our capital structure to reflect a long-term investment approach and utilize multiple sources of capital to meet our requirements, including without limitation, cash on hand, retained free cash flow and debt and equity issuances.


12



We intend to retain the ability to raise additional capital, including public debt or equity, to pursue attractive investment opportunities that may arise and to otherwise act in a manner that we believe to be in the best interests of our shareholders and unitholders. We are a well-known seasoned issuer with a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 that allows us to register unspecified amounts of different classes of securities. To generate capital to reinvest into other attractive investment opportunities, we may also consider the use of additional operational and developmental joint ventures, the sale or lease of outparcels on our existing properties and the sale of certain properties that do not meet our long-term investment criteria. Based on cash provided by operations, cash and cash equivalents, our short-term investments, existing lines of credit, ongoing relationships with certain financial institutions and our ability to issue debt or equity subject to market conditions, we believe that we have access to the necessary financing to fund our planned capital expenditures during 2024.

We anticipate that adequate cash will be available to fund our operating and administrative expenses, regular debt service obligations, and the payment of dividends in accordance with REIT requirements in both the short and long-term. Although we receive most of our rental payments on a monthly basis, distributions to shareholders and unitholders are made quarterly and interest payments on the senior, unsecured notes are made semi-annually. Amounts accumulated for such payments will be used in the interim to reduce the outstanding borrowings under our existing lines of credit or invested in short-term money market or other suitable instruments adhering to our investment policies.

We believe our current balance sheet position is financially sound; however, due to the uncertainty and unpredictability of the capital and credit markets, we can give no assurance that affordable access to capital will exist between now and our next significant debt maturity, which is our $350.0 million unsecured senior notes due September 2026.

As a result, our current primary focus is to continually strengthen our capital and liquidity position by controlling our capital expenditure levels, generating positive cash flows from operations to cover our distributions and maintaining appropriate leverage levels.

Competition

We carefully consider the degree of existing and planned competition in a proposed area before deciding to develop, acquire or expand a new retail center. Our centers compete for customers primarily with retail centers built and operated by different developers, traditional shopping malls, full- and off-price retailers and e-commerce retailers.

Because our revenues are ultimately linked to our tenants' success, we are affected by the same competitive factors, such as consumer spending habits, as our tenants.

We compete with institutional pension funds, private equity investors, other REITs, individual owners of retail centers, specialty stores and others who are engaged in the acquisition, development or ownership of retail centers and stores. In addition, the number of entities competing to acquire or develop retail centers has increased and may continue to increase in the future, which could increase demand for these retail centers and the prices we must pay to acquire or develop them.

Financial Information

We have one reportable operating segment. For financial information regarding our segment, see our consolidated financial statements.

Corporate and Regional Headquarters

We rent space in an office building in Greensboro, North Carolina where our corporate headquarters is located, as well as a regional office in New York, New York.

As of December 31, 2023, we maintain offices and employ on-site management at 34 consolidated and unconsolidated centers and one managed center. The managers closely monitor the operation, marketing and local relationships at each of their centers.

13



Insurance

We believe that as a whole our properties are covered by adequate comprehensive liability, fire, flood, earthquake and extended loss insurance provided by reputable companies with commercially reasonable and customary deductibles and limits. Northline Indemnity, LLC, a wholly-owned captive insurance subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, is responsible for losses up to certain levels for property damage (including wind damage from hurricanes) prior to third-party insurance coverage. Specified types and amounts of insurance are required to be carried by each tenant under their lease. There are, however, types of losses, like those resulting from wars or nuclear radiation, which may either be uninsurable or not economically insurable in some or all of our locations. An uninsured loss could result in a loss to us of both our capital investment and anticipated profits from the affected property.

Our Core Values

Our Core Values are to consider community first, seek the success of others, act fairly and with integrity and make it happen.

Consider Community First - Our diverse communities are the heartbeat of our business. Our decision-making must reflect the varied perspectives that contribute to making our Company a welcoming environment for all. Our philanthropic and sustainable commitments exist to better all the communities we serve.

Seek the Success of Others - We are all in this together, and we believe true success can only be achieved when it is experienced by our shoppers, retailers, and team members alike. We strive to create a culture of inclusion, where we can all be better – together.

Act Fairly and with Integrity - Our bond is strongest when we act with integrity and fairness in everything we do. Tanger’s commitment to ethics lives throughout every level, interaction, and function of the organization, and is what we are known for.

Make it Happen - This is the Tanger state of mind, and it is deeply rooted in our heritage. We are empowered to take smart risks, innovate and to use our voices to advocate for our ideas and for others within our communities.

Human Capital

As of December 31, 2023, we had 364 full-time employees, located at our corporate headquarters in North Carolina and 35 business offices. At that date, we also employed 43 part-time employees at various locations. In 2023, 41% of our full-time workforce have been employed by us for five years or longer. We believe our relations with our employees to be relatively good. None of our employees are represented by a union or parties to a collective bargaining agreement.

As of December 31, 2023, team members who identify as females made up 70% of field employees, 33% of our executive leadership team, and 71% of our total 407-person workforce. Racial minorities made up 16% of our total workforce in 2023. The Board's gender composition consisted of 22% members who identify as female and 22% of members with racial diversity.

We believe attracting, developing and retaining talent is critical to our long-term success. We focus on creating strategies that enhance an environment of high-performance engagement, and individual development, where employees are rewarded and recognized. We provide numerous training programs, which include topics such as operational training, leadership development, customer service and technology training. We recognize that motivation and rewards are different for individuals at various times in their careers, and a balanced blend of monetary and non-monetary rewards can generate valuable business results. We provide employee benefits on par or above industry standards. In addition, we support employees with 40 hours per year of paid volunteer time off to encourage volunteering for worthwhile activities in their local communities. Part-time employees are included in our 401(k) plans, which offer immediate vesting and dollar-for-dollar matches for employee contributions up to 3%, and $0.50 for every dollar contributed on the next 2% deferred. Part-time employees also participate in paid time off ("PTO") after five years of service and are eligible to participate in our accident and critical Illness voluntary benefits.

We work to create long-term value for our shareholders, retail partners and employee team members while we support strong communities and work towards protecting the future of our planet. We integrate ESG into our business practices and seek to address the issues most important to our stakeholders. Our Core Values of Consider Community First, Seek the Success of Others, Act Fairly and with Integrity and Make it Happen form the foundation of our approach as we set goals to create positive social and economic impact while reducing our environmental footprint.

Reporting frameworks

Our goal is to utilize best practices in every aspect of our business, including our disclosures and ESG reporting. We have utilized the standards of the Global Reporting Initiative ("GRI") since 2016 and began integrating certain disclosures from the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board ("SASB," now the "Value Reporting Foundation") in 2019. Since 2021, we have disclosed our data to the Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark ("GRESB") and CDP (formerly, the "Carbon Disclosure Project"). In 2022, we became a signatory to the United Nations Global Compact, and aligned our reporting with the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures ("TCFD") framework. We continue to assess and improve our climate-related governance and strategy to remain apace with current regulatory landscape and framework reporting requirements.

ESG governance

Our ESG Executive Committee leads the governance of ESG matters at our Company and is chaired by our General Counsel. Consisting of executives from various functional areas of our Company, including, without limitation, Operations, Finance and People and Culture, the Executive Committee advises on the Company's approach to ESG. The Executive Committee monitors progress toward achievement of goals and communicates priority ESG issues to senior leadership. Our full Board provides oversight for the ESG function, and, as appropriate, certain matters are considered by a specific committee of the Board.

Priority ESG issues

Our ESG materiality process drives strategy on environmental, social, economic and governance topics. We begin by identifying opportunities and risks, and leverage external frameworks and engage stakeholders, executives and our Board members to help identify key ESG issues. These key issues are translated into operational priorities and processes across the Company. As a result of a robust materiality assessment conducted by a third party in 2021, we identified the following priority material issues that we believe are of greatest relevance to the Company and our stakeholders: Diversity, Equity and Inclusion; Energy Use and Efficiency; Community Involvement; Climate Change and Tenants' Environmental and Social Footprint.

For the avoidance of doubt, while certain matters discussed in our ESG Report, ESG Policies and other ESG-related disclosures may be significant, any significance should not be read as necessarily rising to the level of materiality as that concept is used for the purposes of our compliance and reporting pursuant to the U.S. federal securities laws and regulations. The concept of materiality used in our ESG disclosures, including as it is used above, is based on other definitions of materiality, some of which may require that we use a level of estimation and assumption that may make the resulting disclosures inherently uncertain. This is the case even where we use the word “material” or “materiality” in our ESG disclosures. Therefore, issues that we identify as “material” from an ESG perspective are not necessarily material to the Company under the U.S. federal securities laws and regulations. The contents of our ESG Report, ESG Policies and other ESG-related disclosures are not incorporated by reference into this Annual Report and do not form a part of this Annual Report.

Government Regulations

We are subject to regulation by various federal, state, provincial and local agencies. These agencies include the Environmental Protection Agency, Occupational Safety and Health Administration and Department of Labor and Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. We believe we comply, in all material respects, with existing applicable statutes and regulations affecting environmental issues and our employment, workplace health and workplace safety practices, and compliance with such statutes and regulations has no material effect on our capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position.

ITEM 1A RISK FACTORS

Important risk factors that could materially affect our business, financial condition or results of operations in future periods are described below. These factors are not intended to be an all-encompassing list of risks and uncertainties and are not the only risks and uncertainties we face. Additional risks not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations in future periods. Additional information regarding forward-looking statements is included in the beginning of Part I in this Annual Report.

Risks Related to Real Estate Investments

The economic performance and the market value of our centers are dependent on risks associated with real property investments.

Real property investments are subject to varying degrees of risk. The economic performance and market values of our real property investments may be affected by many factors, including changes in the international, national, regional and local economic climate, inflation, deflation, interest rates, changes in government policies and regulations, including changes in tax laws, unemployment rates, consumer confidence, consumer shopping preferences, local conditions such as an oversupply of space or a reduction in demand for real estate in the area, the attractiveness of the properties to tenants, competition from other available space, our ability to provide adequate maintenance and insurance, increased operating costs and increased costs to address environmental impacts related to climate change or natural disasters.

We may be unable to develop new centers or expand existing centers successfully.

We intend to continue to develop new centers and expand existing centers as opportunities arise. However, there are significant risks associated with our development activities in addition to those generally associated with the ownership and operation of established retail properties. While we have policies in place designed to limit the risks associated with development, these policies do not mitigate all development risks associated with a project. These risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

significant expenditure of money and time on projects that may be delayed or never be completed;

higher than projected construction costs;

shortage of construction materials and supplies;

failure to obtain zoning, occupancy or other governmental approvals or to the extent required, tenant approvals;

late completion because of construction delays, delays in the receipt of zoning, occupancy and other approvals or other factors outside of our control; and

development projects may have defects we do not discover through our inspection processes, including latent defects that may not reveal themselves until many years after we put a property in service.

The realization of any of the above risks could significantly and adversely affect our ability to meet our financial expectations, our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows, our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders, the market price of our common shares, and our ability to satisfy our debt service obligations.
16



Real property investments are relatively illiquid.

Our centers represent a substantial portion of our total consolidated assets. These assets are relatively illiquid. As a result, our ability to sell one or more of our centers in response to any changes in economic or other conditions is limited. If we want to sell a center, there can be no assurance that we will be able to dispose of it in the desired time period or that the sales price will exceed the cost of our investment.

Properties have been in the past and may be in the future subject to impairment charges, which can adversely affect our financial results.

We periodically evaluate long-lived assets to determine if there has been any impairment in their carrying values or if there are other indicators of impairment and record impairment losses if the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than their carrying amounts. If it is determined that an impairment has occurred, we would be required to record an impairment charge equal to the excess of the asset's carrying value over its estimated fair value, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial results in the accounting period in which the adjustment is made. Our estimates of undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by each property are based on a number of assumptions that are subject to economic and market uncertainties including, but not limited to, estimated hold period, terminal capitalization rates, 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 our assumptions, the future cash flows estimated in our impairment analysis may not be achieved.

Also, we assess whether there are any indicators that the value of our 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 investments, and such decline in value is deemed to be other than temporary. To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss is measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the investment over the estimated fair value of the investment. Our estimates of value for each joint venture investment are based on a number of assumptions that are subject to economic and market uncertainties including, among others, estimated hold period, terminal capitalization rates, demand for space, competition for tenants, discount and capitalization rates, changes in market rental rates and operating costs of the property. As these factors are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter our assumptions, the values estimated by us in our impairment analysis may not be realized.

In recent years, we have recorded impairment charges related to both our long-lived assets and our investments in consolidated joint ventures. In addition, based upon current market conditions, one of our centers has an estimated fair value significantly less than its recorded carrying value of approximately $111.1 million. However, based on our current plan with respect to that center, we believe that its carrying amount is recoverable and therefore no impairment charge was recorded. Accordingly, we will continue to monitor circumstances and events in future periods that could affect inputs such as the expected holding period, operating cash flow forecasts and capitalization rates, utilized to determine whether an impairment charge is necessary. As these inputs are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter our assumptions, the future cash flows estimated by management in its impairment analysis may not be achieved, and actual losses or impairment may be realized in the future.

Dispositions may not achieve anticipated results.

From time to time, we have strategically disposed of assets, and may dispose of additional assets in the future, with the goal of improving the overall performance of our core portfolio. However, we may not achieve the results we originally anticipated at the time of disposition. If we are not successful at achieving the anticipated results, there is a potential for a significant adverse impact on our returns and our overall profitability.








17



We face competition for the acquisition and development of centers, and we may not be able to complete acquisitions or developments that we have identified.

We intend to grow our business in part through acquisitions and new developments. We compete with institutional pension funds, private equity investors, other REITs, small owners of outlet centers, specialty stores and others who are engaged in the acquisition, development or ownership of centers and stores. These competitors may succeed in acquiring or developing centers themselves. Also, our potential acquisition targets may find our competitors to be more attractive acquirers because they may have greater marketing and financial resources, may be willing to pay more, or may have a more compatible operating philosophy. If we pay higher prices for centers, our profitability may be reduced. We may also have to accept less favorable terms to acquire a center. For example, we may acquire assets subject to liabilities and without any recourse, or with only limited recourse, with respect to unknown liabilities, such as liabilities for the remediation of undisclosed environmental contamination; claims by tenants, vendors, or other persons dealing with the former owners of the assets; and claims for indemnification by general partners, directors, officers, and others indemnified by the former owners of the assets. Also, once we have identified potential acquisitions, such acquisitions are subject to the successful completion of due diligence, the negotiation of definitive agreements and the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. We cannot assure you that we will be able to reach acceptable terms with the sellers or that these conditions will be satisfied. The realization of any of the above risks could significantly and adversely affect our ability to meet our financial expectations, our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows, our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders, the market price of our common shares, and our ability to satisfy our debt service obligations.

We may be subject to environmental regulation.

Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, we may be considered an owner or operator of real property and may be responsible for paying for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances released on or in our property or disposed of by us, as well as certain other potential costs which could relate to hazardous or toxic substances (including governmental fines and injuries to persons and property). This liability may be imposed whether or not we knew about, or were responsible for, the presence of hazardous or toxic substances. This liability could exceed our resources and any recovery available through any applicable insurance coverage, which could adversely affect our ability to pay dividends to shareholders.

We may incur significant costs to comply with the Americans With Disabilities Act and fire, safety and other regulations.

Compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and fire, safety and other regulations may require us to make expenditures that could adversely affect our cash flows. Compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (the “ADA”) requirements could require removal of access barriers, and non-compliance could result in the imposition of fines by the United States government, awards of damages to private litigants, or both. While the tenants to whom our portfolio is leased are obligated to comply with ADA provisions, within their leased premises, we are required to comply with ADA requirements within the common areas of the properties in our portfolio and we may not be able to pass on to our tenants any costs necessary to remediate any common area ADA issues. In addition, we are required to operate the properties in compliance with fire and safety regulations and applicable building codes, as they may be adopted by governmental agencies and bodies and become applicable to our portfolio. We may be required to make substantial capital expenditures to comply with, and we may be restricted in our ability to renovate or redevelop the properties subject to, those requirements and to comply with the provisions of the ADA. The resulting expenditures and restrictions could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and operating results.

Risks Related to our Business

Conditions that adversely affect the general retail environment could materially and adversely affect us

Our primary source of revenue is derived from retail tenants, which means that we could be materially and adversely affected by conditions that materially and adversely affect the retail environment generally, including, without limitation:

18



domestic issues, such as government policies and regulations, tariffs, energy prices, market dynamics, rising interest rates, inflation and limited growth in consumer income as well as from actual or perceived changes in economic conditions, which can result from global events such as international trade disputes, a foreign debt crisis, foreign currency volatility, natural disasters, war, epidemics and pandemics, the fear of spread of contagious diseases, and civil unrest and terrorism;

levels of consumer spending, changes in consumer confidence, income levels, and fluctuations in seasonal spending in the United States and internationally;

supply chain disruptions and labor shortages;

consumer perceptions of the safety, convenience and attractiveness of our centers, including due to a heightened level of concern in public places due to risks associated with the transmission of disease, random acts of violence or consumer perception of increased risk of criminal activity;

the impact on our retail tenants and demand for retail space at our centers from the increasing use of the Internet by retailers and consumers, which accelerated during the COVID-19 pandemic;

the creditworthiness of our retail tenants and the availability of new creditworthy tenants and the related impact on our occupancy levels and lease income;

the willingness of retailers to lease space in our properties at attractive rents, or at all;

changes in applicable laws and regulations, including tax, environmental, safety and zoning;

changes in regional and local economies, which may be affected by increased rates of unemployment, increased foreclosures, higher taxes, decreased tourism, industry slowdowns, adverse weather conditions, and other factors;

increased costs of maintenance, insurance and operations (including real estate taxes); and

epidemics, pandemics or other public health crises, like the COVID-19 pandemic, and the governmental reaction thereto.

To the extent that any or a portion of these conditions occur, they are likely to impact the retail industry, our retail tenants, the emergence of new tenants, the demand for retail space, market rents and rent growth, the vacancy levels at our properties, the value of our properties, which could directly or indirectly materially and adversely affect our financial condition, operating results and overall asset value. Additionally, a portion of our lease income is derived from overage rents based on sales over a stated base amount that directly depend on the sales volume of our retail tenants. Accordingly, declines in our tenants’ sales performance could reduce the income produced by our properties. Over time, declines in our tenants’ sales performance can also negatively impact our ability to sign new and renewal leases at desired rents.

Our earnings and therefore our profitability are dependent on rental income from real property.

Substantially all of our income is derived from rental income from real property. Our income and funds for distribution would be adversely affected if rental rates at our centers decrease, if a significant number of our tenants were unable to meet their obligations to us or if we were unable to lease a significant amount of space in our centers on economically favorable lease terms. In addition, the terms of outlet store tenant leases traditionally have been significantly shorter than in other retail segments. There can be no assurance that any tenant whose lease expires in the future will renew such lease or that we will be able to re-lease space on economically favorable terms.

19



We are substantially dependent on the results of operations of our retail tenants and their bankruptcy, early termination or closing could adversely affect us.

Our operations are subject to the results of operations of our retail tenants. As noted above, a portion of our rental revenues are derived from percentage rents that directly depend on the sales volume of certain tenants.

A number of companies in the retail industry, including some of our tenants, have declared bankruptcy or have voluntarily closed all or certain of their stores in recent years. The bankruptcy of a major tenant or number of tenants may result in the closing of certain affected stores or reduction of rent for stores that remain operating. If any of our tenants becomes a debtor in a case under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, as amended, we cannot evict that tenant solely because of its bankruptcy. The bankruptcy court may authorize the tenant to reject and terminate its lease with us. Our claim against such tenant for uncollectible future rent would be subject to a statutory limitation that might be substantially less than the remaining rent actually owed to us under the tenant’s lease.

In addition, certain of our lease agreements include co-tenancy and/or sales-based provisions that may allow a tenant to pay reduced rent and/or terminate a lease prior to its natural expiration if we fail to maintain certain occupancy levels or retain specified named tenants, or if the tenant does not achieve certain specified sales targets. Our occupancy at our consolidated centers has remained stable at 97% at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. If our occupancy declines, certain centers may fall below the minimum co-tenancy thresholds and could trigger many tenants ability to pay reduced rents, which in turn may negatively impact our results of operations.

Re-leasing this space may take longer than our historical experience. In addition, we may be unable to replace the space at equal or greater rent, and/or we may incur significant tenant allowances to induce tenants to enter into leases. As such, the closings of a significant amount of stores could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and could result in a lower level of funds for distribution to our shareholders.

Significant inflation could negatively impact our business.

Substantial inflationary pressures can adversely affect us by increasing the costs of materials, labor and other costs needed to operate our business. Higher construction costs could adversely impact our investments in real estate assets and our expected yields on development projects. The majority of our leases are negotiated to provide for inflation-based contractual rent increases or periodic fixed contractual rent increases and percentage rents. However, if we are unable to increase our rental prices to offset the effects of inflation, our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition could be adversely affected. In addition, interest rate increases enacted to combat inflation have caused market disruption and could prevent us from acquiring or disposing of assets on favorable terms.

Inflation may also cause increased volatility in financial markets, which could affect our ability to access the capital markets or impact the cost or timing at which we are able to do so. To the extent our exposure to increases in interest rates on any of our debt is not eliminated through interest rate swaps and interest rate protection agreements, such increases will result in higher debt service costs, which will adversely affect our cash flows.

There is no guarantee that we will be able to mitigate the effects of inflation and related impacts, and the duration and extent of any prolonged periods of inflation, and any related adverse effects on our results of operations and financial condition, remain unknown at this time.

20



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

We own partial interests in centers with various joint venture partners. The approval or consent of the other members of these joint ventures is required before we may sell, finance, expand or make other significant changes in the operations of these properties. We also may not have control over certain major decisions, including approval of the annual operating budgets, selection or termination of the property management company, leasing and the timing and amount of distributions, which could result in decisions that do not fully reflect our interests. To the extent such approvals or consents are required, we may experience difficulty in, or may be prevented from, implementing our plans and strategies with respect to expansion, development, property management, on-going operations, financing (for example, decisions as to whether to refinance or obtain financing, when and whether to pay down principal of any loan and whether and how to cure any defaults under loan documents) or other similar transactions with respect to such properties.

Further, these investments, and other future similar investments, could involve risks that would not be present were a third party not involved, including the possibility that partners or other owners might become bankrupt, suffer a deterioration in their creditworthiness, or fail to fund their share of required capital contributions. If one of our partners or other owners in these investments were to become bankrupt, we may be precluded from taking certain actions regarding our investments without prior court approval, which at a minimum may delay the actions we would or might want to take.

Disputes between us and partners or other owners might result in litigation or arbitration that could increase our expenses and prevent us from focusing our time and efforts on our business. Consequently, actions by, or disputes with, partners or other owners might result in subjecting properties owned by the partnership or joint venture to additional risk. In addition, we risk the possibility of being liable for the actions of our partners or other owners.

We face risks associated with climate change and severe weather.

To the extent climate change causes changes in weather patterns, our properties in certain markets could experience, among other impacts, severe weather, rising sea levels and other natural disasters. Approximately, 42% of the square footage of our consolidated portfolio are located in coastal areas, which are at risk to be impacted by storms intensity and 14% of the square footage of our consolidated portfolio are in areas that are at risk to be impacted by rising sea levels. Over time, these conditions could result in volatile or decreased demand for retail space at certain of our properties or, in extreme cases, our inability to operate the properties at all. Climate change may also have indirect effects on our business by increasing the cost of (or making unavailable) insurance on favorable terms, or at all, increasing the cost of energy at our properties or requiring us to spend funds to repair and protect our properties against such risks. Changes in federal, state, and local legislation and regulation based on concerns about climate change, including compliance with “green” building codes, could result in increased capital expenditures on our existing properties and our new development properties (for example, to improve their energy efficiency and/or resistance to severe weather) or increased taxes and fees assessed on us or our properties, and in our and our tenants’ increased compliance and other costs, without a corresponding increase in revenue, which may result in adverse impacts to our and our tenants’ operating results. There can be no assurance that climate change and severe weather, or the potential impacts of these events on our tenants, will not have a material adverse effect on our properties, operations, or business.

An uninsured loss or a loss that exceeds our insurance policies on our centers or the insurance policies of our tenants could subject us to lost capital and revenue on those centers.

Some of the risks to which our centers are subject, including risks of terrorist attacks, war, earthquakes, hurricanes and other natural disasters, are not insurable or may not be insurable in the future. Should a loss occur that is uninsured or in an amount exceeding the combined aggregate limits for the insurance policies noted above or in the event of a loss that is subject to a substantial deductible under an insurance policy, we could lose all or part of our capital invested in and anticipated revenue from one or more of our centers, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition, as well as our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders.



21



Under the terms and conditions of our leases, tenants generally are required to indemnify and hold us harmless from liabilities resulting from injury to persons and contamination of air, water, land or property, on or off the premises, due to activities conducted in the leased space, except for claims arising from negligence or intentional misconduct by us or our agents. Additionally, tenants generally are required, at the tenant's expense, to obtain and keep in full force during the term of the lease, liability and property damage insurance policies issued by companies acceptable to us. These policies include liability coverage for bodily injury and property damage arising out of the ownership, use, occupancy or maintenance of the leased space. All of these policies may involve substantial deductibles and certain exclusions. Therefore, an uninsured loss or loss that exceeds the insurance policies of our tenants could also subject us to lost capital and revenue. We cannot predict the future availability of insurance coverage against any risk of loss. Insurance companies may discontinue coverage for certain risks, or, if offered, such coverage may become excessively expensive.

Our Canadian investments may subject us to different or greater risk from those associated with our domestic operations.

As of December 31, 2023, through a co-ownership arrangement with a Canadian REIT, we have an ownership interest in two centers located in Canada. Our operating results and the value of our Canadian operations may be impacted by any unhedged movements in the Canadian dollar. Canadian ownership activities carry risks that are different from those we face with our domestic properties. These risks include:

adverse effects of changes in the exchange rate between the U.S. and Canadian dollar;

changes in Canadian political and economic environments, regionally, nationally, and locally;

challenges of complying with a wide variety of foreign laws;

changes in applicable laws and regulations in the United States that affect foreign operations;

property management services being provided directly by our 50/50 co-owner, not by us; and

obstacles to the repatriation of earnings and cash.

Any or all of these factors may adversely impact our operations and financial results, as well as our overall business.

Risks Related to our Indebtedness and Financial Markets

We are subject to the risks associated with debt financing.

We are subject to risks associated with debt financing, including the risk that the cash provided by our operating activities will be insufficient to meet required payments of principal and interest. Disruptions in the capital and credit markets may adversely affect our operations, including the ability to fund planned capital expenditures and potential new developments or acquisitions. Further, there is the risk that we will not be able to repay or refinance existing indebtedness or that the terms of any refinancing will not be as favorable as the terms of existing indebtedness. If we are unable to access capital markets to refinance our indebtedness on acceptable terms, we might be forced to dispose of properties on disadvantageous terms, which might result in losses.











22



The Company depends on distributions from the Operating Partnership to meet its financial obligations, including dividends.

The Company's operations are conducted by the Operating Partnership, and the Company's only significant asset is its interest in the Operating Partnership. As a result, the Company depends upon distributions or other payments from the Operating Partnership in order to meet its financial obligations, including its obligations under any guarantees or to pay dividends to its common shareholders. As a result, these obligations are effectively subordinated to existing and future liabilities of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership is a party to loan agreements with various bank lenders that require the Operating Partnership to comply with various financial and other covenants before it may make distributions to the Company. Although the Operating Partnership presently is in compliance with these covenants, there is no assurance that the Operating Partnership will continue to be in compliance and that it will be able to make distributions to the Company.

We may not be able to obtain additional capital to further our business objectives.

Our ability to acquire and develop properties depends upon our ability to obtain capital. The real estate industry has historically experienced periods of volatile debt and equity capital markets and/or periods of extreme illiquidity. A prolonged period in which we cannot effectively access the public debt and/or equity markets may result in heavier reliance on alternative financing sources to undertake new investments. An inability to obtain debt and/or equity capital on acceptable terms could delay or prevent us from acquiring, financing, and completing desirable investments and could otherwise adversely affect our business. Also, the issuance of additional shares of capital stock or interests in subsidiaries to fund future operations could dilute the ownership of our then-existing stakeholders. Even as liquidity returns to the market, debt and equity capital may be more expensive than in prior years.

The Operating Partnership guarantees debt or otherwise provides support for a number of joint venture properties.

Joint venture debt is the liability of the joint venture and is typically secured by a mortgage on the joint venture property, which is non-recourse to us. Nevertheless, the joint venture’s failure to satisfy its debt obligations could result in the loss of our investment therein. As of December 31, 2023, the Operating Partnership guaranteed joint venture-related mortgage indebtedness of $10.0 million. A default by a joint venture under its debt obligations would expose us to liability under a guaranty. We may elect to fund cash needs of a joint venture through equity contributions (generally on a basis proportionate to our ownership interests), advances or partner loans, although such funding is not typically required contractually or otherwise.

Adverse changes in our credit ratings could negatively affect our financing ability.

Our credit ratings may affect the amount of capital we can access, as well as the terms and pricing of any debt we may incur. There can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain and/or improve our current credit ratings. In the event that our current credit ratings are downgraded or removed, we would most likely incur higher borrowing costs and experience greater difficulty in obtaining additional financing, which in turn would have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and liquidity.














23



Our interest rate hedging arrangements may not effectively limit our interest rate risk exposure.

As of December 31, 2023, we had approximately $389.7 million of outstanding indebtedness that bears interest at variable rates, and we may incur more variable rate indebtedness in the future. As of December 31, 2023, we had interest rate hedging agreements in place for $300.0 million of variable rate cash flows which expired on February 1, 2024. In addition, we had $325.0 million of forward starting interest rate swap agreements as of December 31, 2023, which became effective on February 1, 2024. We manage our exposure to interest rate risk by periodically entering into interest rate hedging agreements to effectively fix a portion of our variable rate debt. Our use of interest rate hedging arrangements to manage risk associated with interest rate volatility may expose us to additional risks, including that a counterparty to a hedging arrangement may fail to honor its obligations. We enter into swaps that are exempt from the requirements of central clearing and/or trading on a designated contract market or swap execution facility pursuant to the applicable regulations and rules, and thus there may be more counterparty risk relative to others who do not utilize such exemption. Developing an effective interest rate risk strategy is complex and no strategy can completely insulate us from risks associated with interest rate fluctuations. There can be no assurance that our hedging activities will have the desired beneficial impact on our results of operations or financial condition. We might be subject to additional costs, such as transaction fees or breakage costs, if we terminate these arrangements.

The price per share of our stock may fluctuate significantly.

The market price per share of our common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to a variety of factors, many of which are beyond our control, including, but not limited to:

•    the availability and cost of debt and/or equity capital;

•    the condition of our balance sheet;

•    actual or anticipated capital requirements;

•    the condition of the financial and banking industries;

•    actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly operating results or dividends;

•    the amount and timing of debt maturities and other contractual obligations;

•    changes in our net income, funds from operations, or guidance;

•    the publication of research reports and articles (or false or misleading information) about us, our tenants,
    the real estate industry, or the retail industry;

•    the general reputation of REITs and the attractiveness of their equity securities in comparison to other
    debt or equity securities (including securities issued by other real estate-based companies);

•    general stock and bond market conditions, including changes in interest rates on fixed-income
    securities, that may lead prospective shareholders to demand a higher annual yield from future dividends;

•    changes in our analyst ratings;

•    changes in our corporate credit ratings or credit ratings of our debt or other securities;

•    changes in market valuations of similar companies;

•    adverse market reaction to any additional debt we incur or equity we raise in the future;

•    additions, departures, or other announcements regarding our key management personnel and/or the Board;

•    actions by institutional shareholders;
24



•    speculation in the press or investment community;

•    short selling of our common shares;

•    the publication or dissemination of opinions, characterizations, or disinformation that are intended to create negative market momentum, including through the use of social media;

•    risks associated with generative artificial intelligence tools and large language models and the conclusions that these tools and models may draw about our business and prospects in connection with the dissemination of negative opinions, characterizations, or disinformation;

•    terrorist activity adversely affecting the markets in which our securities trade, possibly increasing market
volatility and causing the further erosion of business and consumer confidence and spending;

•    government regulatory action and changes in tax laws;

•    fiscal policies or inaction at the U.S. federal government level that may lead to federal government
shutdowns or negative impacts on the U.S. economy;

•    fluctuations due to general market volatility;

•    disruptions in the banking sector or failures of financial institutions that we or our tenants may or may not
have business relationships with;

•    global market factors adversely affecting the U.S. and Canadian economic and political environments;

•    general market and economic conditions; and

•    the realization of any of the other risk factors included in this annual report on Form 10-K.

These factors may cause the market price of our common shares to decline, regardless of our financial condition, results of operations, business, or prospects.

Risks Related to Federal Income Tax Laws

If we fail to qualify as a REIT, our operations and distributions to shareholders would be adversely affected.

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes under the Code. We believe that we are organized and operate in a manner that has allowed us to qualify and will allow us to remain qualified as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Internal Revenue Code"). However, there can be no assurance that we have qualified or will continue to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Qualification as a REIT involves the application of highly technical and complex Internal Revenue Code provisions for which there are only limited judicial or administrative interpretations. The determination of various factual matters and circumstances not entirely within our control may affect our ability to continue to qualify as a REIT. In addition, new legislation, new regulations, administrative interpretations or court decisions could significantly change the tax laws, possibly with retroactive effect, with respect to qualification as a REIT or the federal income tax consequences of such qualification.

If we were to fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year:

we would not be allowed to deduct our distributions to shareholders when computing our taxable income;

we would be subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate rates;

25



for tax years beginning after December 31, 2022, we could also be subject to certain taxes enacted by the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 that are applicable to non-REIT corporations, such as the nondeductible one percent excise tax on certain stock repurchases;

we would be disqualified from being taxed as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification was lost, unless entitled to relief under certain statutory provisions;

our cash available for distributions to shareholders would be reduced; and

we may be required to borrow additional funds or sell some of our assets in order to pay corporate tax obligations that we may incur as a result of our disqualification.

We may need to incur additional borrowings to meet the REIT minimum distribution requirement and to avoid excise tax.

In order to maintain our qualification as a REIT, we are required to distribute to our shareholders at least 90% of our annual real estate investment trust taxable income (excluding any net capital gain and before application of the dividends paid deduction). In addition, we are subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax on the amount, if any, by which certain distributions paid by us with respect to any calendar year are less than the sum of (i) 85% of our ordinary income for that year, (ii) 95% of our net capital gain for that year and (iii) 100% of our undistributed taxable income from prior years. Although we intend to pay distributions to our shareholders in a manner that allows us to meet the 90% distribution requirement and avoid this 4% excise tax, we cannot assure you that we will always be able to do so. We may need to borrow funds to meet the REIT distribution requirements and avoid the payment of income and excise taxes even if the then prevailing market conditions are not favorable for these borrowings. These borrowing needs could result from differences in timing between the actual receipt of cash and inclusion of income for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or the effect of non-deductible capital expenditures, the creation of cash reserves or required debt or amortization payments. We cannot assure you that we will have access to such capital on favorable terms at the desired times, or at all, which may cause us to curtail our investment activities and/or to dispose of assets at inopportune times, and could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and per share trading price of our common stock.

Complying with REIT requirements may cause us to forego otherwise attractive opportunities or liquidate otherwise attractive investments.

To qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we must continually satisfy tests concerning, among other things, the sources of our income, the nature and diversification of our assets, the amounts we distribute to our shareholders and the ownership of our shares. In order to meet these tests, we may be required to forego investments we might otherwise make. Thus, compliance with the REIT requirements may hinder our performance.

In particular, we must ensure that at the end of each calendar quarter, at least 75% of the value of our assets consists of cash, cash items, government securities and qualified real estate assets. The remainder of our investment in securities (other than government securities and qualified real estate assets) generally cannot include more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of any one issuer or more than 10% of the total value of the outstanding securities of any one issuer. In addition, in general, no more than 5% of the value of our assets (other than government securities and qualified real estate assets) can consist of the securities of any one issuer, and no more than 20% of the value of our total assets can be represented by the securities of one or more taxable REIT subsidiaries. If we fail to comply with these requirements at the end of any calendar quarter, we must correct the failure within 30 days after the end of the calendar quarter or qualify for certain statutory relief provisions to avoid losing our REIT qualification and suffering adverse tax consequences. As a result, we may be required to liquidate otherwise attractive investments. These actions could have the effect of reducing our income and amounts available for distribution to our shareholders.

26



The tax imposed on REITs engaging in “prohibited transactions” may limit our ability to engage in transactions which would be treated as sales for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

A REIT's net income from prohibited transactions is subject to a 100% penalty tax. In general, prohibited transactions are sales or other dispositions of property, other than foreclosure property, held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business. Although we do not intend to hold any properties that would be characterized as held for sale to customers in the ordinary course of our business, unless a sale or disposition qualifies under certain statutory safe harbors, or is held through a taxable REIT subsidiary, such characterization is a factual determination and no guarantee can be given that the IRS would agree with our characterization of our properties or that we will always be able to make use of the available safe harbors.

Complying with REIT requirements may limit our ability to hedge effectively and may cause us to incur tax liabilities.

The REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code limit our ability to hedge our liabilities. Generally, income from a hedging transaction does not constitute "gross income" for purposes of the 75% or 95% gross income tests, provided that we properly identify the hedging transaction pursuant to the applicable sections of the Code and Treasury Regulations. To the extent that we enter into other types of hedging transactions, or fail to make the proper tax identifications, the income from those transactions is likely to be treated as non-qualifying income for purposes of both gross income tests. As a result of these rules, we may need to limit our use of otherwise advantageous hedging techniques or implement those hedges through taxable REIT subsidiaries.

Dividends payable by REITs do not qualify for the reduced tax rates available for some dividends.

For non-corporate taxpayers the maximum tax rate applicable to “qualified dividend income” paid by regular C corporations to U.S. shareholders generally is 20%. Dividends payable by REITs, however, generally are not eligible for the reduced rates on qualified dividend income. Instead, our ordinary dividends generally are taxed at the higher tax rates applicable to ordinary income, the current maximum rate of which is 37%. However, for taxable years prior to 2026, individual shareholders are generally allowed to deduct 20% of the aggregate amount of ordinary dividends distributed by us, subject to certain limitations, which would reduce the maximum marginal effective tax rate for individuals on the receipt of such ordinary dividends to 29.6%.

Changes to the U.S. federal income tax laws, including the enactment of certain tax reform measures, could have an adverse impact on our business and financial results.

We cannot predict whether, when, or to what extent any new U.S. federal tax laws, regulations, interpretations, or rulings will impact the real estate investment industry or REITs. Prospective investors are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the effect of potential future changes to the federal tax laws on an investment in our shares.

General Risks

Cyber-attacks or acts of cyber-terrorism could disrupt our or our third-party providers' business operations and information technology systems or result in the loss or exposure of confidential or sensitive customer, employee or Company information.

Our information technology systems may in the future be attacked or breached by individuals or organizations intending to obtain sensitive data regarding our business, customers, employees, tenants or other third parties with whom we do business or disrupt our business operations and information technology systems. While we maintain some of our own critical information technology systems, we also depend on third-party providers for important information technology software, products and services relating to several key business functions, such as payroll, electronic communications and certain accounting and finance functions, among others. Many of these providers have likewise experienced and expect to continue to experience cyberattacks and other security incidents.
27



A security compromise of our or our critical providers' information technology systems or business operations could occur through cyber-attacks or cyber-intrusions over the Internet, malware, ransomware, computer viruses, attachments to e-mails, persons inside our organization, or persons with access to systems inside our organization, due to malicious conduct, human error, negligence, and social engineering, as well as due to bugs, coding misconfigurations or other software vulnerabilities. Like many companies, we have experienced intrusions and threats to data and information technology systems, and the risk of a future security breach or disruption, particularly through cyber-attacks or cyber-intrusion, including by computer hackers, foreign governments, and cyber terrorists, has generally increased as the number, intensity and sophistication of attempted attacks and intrusions from around the world have increased. We use information technology systems to manage our centers and other business processes. Disruption of those systems, for example, due to ransomware, could adversely impact our ability to operate our business to provide timely service to our customers and maintain our relationships with our tenants. Accordingly, if such an attack or act of terrorism were to occur, our operations and financial results could be adversely affected. In addition, we use our information technology systems to protect confidential or sensitive customer, employee and Company information developed and maintained in the normal course of our business. Certain of these systems have been attacked, and any attack on such systems that results in the unauthorized release or loss of customer, employee or other confidential or sensitive data could have a material adverse effect on our business reputation, increase our costs of remediation and compliance (particularly in light of increased regulation of corporate data privacy and cybersecurity practices) and expose us to material legal claims and liability by private litigants (including class actions) and regulatory agencies. If the unauthorized release or loss of customer, employee or other confidential or sensitive data were to occur, our operations and financial results and our share price could also be adversely affected.

We may expend significant resources or modify our business activities to try to protect against security incidents. Additionally, certain data privacy and security obligations may require us to implement and maintain specific security measures or industry-standard or reasonable security measures to protect our information technology systems and confidential, proprietary, and sensitive data. While we have implemented security measures designed to safeguard our systems and confidential, proprietary, and sensitive data and to manage cybersecurity risks, there can be no assurance that these measures will be effective. We take steps to monitor and develop our information technology networks and infrastructure and invest in the development and enhancement of our controls designed to prevent, detect, respond to, and mitigate the risk of unauthorized access, misuse, computer viruses, and other events that could have a security impact.

We also have policies and procedures in place for the identification of cybersecurity incidents and technology vulnerabilities, and their timely elevation to executive management for remediation. Additionally, we take steps to detect and remediate vulnerabilities, but we may not be able to detect and remediate all vulnerabilities because the threats and techniques used to exploit the vulnerability change frequently and are often sophisticated in nature. Therefore, such vulnerabilities could be exploited but may not be detected until after a security incident has occurred. Undetected and/or unremediated critical vulnerabilities that are exploited could pose material risks to our business. Further, we may experience delays in developing and deploying remedial measures designed to address any such identified vulnerabilities.

Moreover, the security measures employed by third-party service providers may prove to be ineffective at preventing breaches of their systems, which in turn may impact our business and operations. We expect the frequency and intensity of cyberattacks to escalate in the future, particularly as threat actors become more sophisticated, for example, by deploying tools and techniques that are specifically designed to circumvent controls, to evade detection, and even to remove or obfuscate forensic evidence, all of which impedes our ability to detect, identify, investigate and remediate against cyberattacks. Continued remote and hybrid working arrangements also present additional cybersecurity risks given the prevalence of social engineering and vulnerabilities that are inherent in many non-corporate and home networks.

It may not always be possible to anticipate, detect, or recognize threats to our systems, or to implement effective preventive measures against all security incidents. We may not be able to immediately address the consequences of a security incident. A successful breach of our computer systems, software, networks, or other technology assets could occur and persist for an extended period of time before being detected due to, among other things:

•    the breadth of our operations and the high volume of transactions that our systems process;

•    the wide breadth of software required to run our business, and the increase in supply chain attacks by
advanced persistent threats;

28



•    the large number of our business partners;

•    the frequency and wide variety of sources from which a cyberattack can originate;

•    the severity of cyberattacks; and

•    the proliferation and increasing sophistication and types of cyberattacks.

Furthermore, the extent of a particular cyberattack and the steps that we may need to take to investigate the attack may not be immediately clear. Therefore, in the event of an attack, it may take a significant amount of time before such an investigation can be completed. During an investigation, we may not necessarily know the extent of the damage incurred or how best to remediate it, and certain errors or actions could be repeated or compounded before they are discovered and remediated, which could further increase the costs and consequences of a cyberattack. Additionally, applicable data privacy and security obligations may require us to notify relevant stakeholders of security incidents. Such disclosures are costly, and the disclosure or the failure to comply with such disclosure requirements could lead to adverse consequences.

Our contracts may not contain limitations of liability, and even where they do, there can be no assurance that limitations of liability in our contracts are sufficient to protect us from liabilities, damages, or claims related to our data privacy and security obligations. We cannot be sure that our insurance coverage will be adequate or sufficient to protect us from or to mitigate liabilities arising out of our data privacy and security practices, that such coverage will continue to be available on commercially reasonable terms or at all, or that such coverage will pay future claims.

In addition to experiencing a security incident, third parties may gather, collect, or infer sensitive information about us from public sources, data brokers, or other means that reveals competitively sensitive details about our organization and could be used to undermine our competitive advantage or market position. Additionally, proprietary, confidential, and/or sensitive information of the Company or our tenants could be leaked, disclosed, or revealed as a result of or in connection with our employees’, personnel’s, or vendors’ use of generative artificial intelligence technologies.

Even if we are not targeted directly, cyberattacks on the U.S. or Canadian governments, financial markets, financial institutions, or other businesses, including our tenants, vendors, software creators, cloud providers, cybersecurity service providers, and other third parties upon which we rely, may occur, and such events could disrupt our normal business operations and networks in the future.

In addition, laws, regulations, regulatory frameworks and industry standards related to cybersecurity and data privacy issues are developing rapidly, which may pose complex compliance challenges, lead to increased costs and potentially subject us to liability for violations. While we carry insurance related to cybersecurity events, our policies may not cover all of the costs and liabilities that could be incurred as the result of cyberattack or other security incident.

An increased focus on metrics and reporting related to environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) factors, may impose additional costs and expose us to new risks.

Investors and other stakeholders have become more focused on understanding how companies address a variety of ESG factors. As they evaluate investment decisions, many investors look not only at company disclosures but also to ESG rating systems that have been developed by third parties to allow ESG comparisons among companies. Although we participate in a number of these ratings systems, we do not participate in all such systems. The criteria used in these ratings systems may conflict and change frequently, and we cannot predict how these third parties will score us, nor can we have any assurance that they score us accurately or other companies accurately or that other companies have provided them with accurate data. We supplement our participation in ratings systems with published disclosures of our ESG activities, but some investors may desire other disclosures that we do not provide. In addition, the SEC is currently evaluating potential rule making that could mandate additional ESG disclosure and impose other requirements on us. Failure to participate in certain of the third party ratings systems, failure to score well in those ratings systems or failure to provide certain ESG disclosures could result in reputational harm when investors compare us to other companies, and could cause certain investors to be unwilling to invest in our shares, which could adversely impact our share price.
29



Our success depends, in part, on our ability to attract, retain and develop talented employees, and our failure to do so, including the loss of any one of our key personnel, could adversely impact our business.

The success of our business depends, in part, on the leadership and performance of our executive management team and key employees, including our CEO, some of whom operate without the existence of employment agreements or similar employment and severance arrangements. Many of our senior executives have extensive experience and strong reputations in the real estate industry, which aid us in identifying opportunities and partnering with tenants. Our ability to attract, retain and motivate talented employees, and develop talent internally, could significantly impact our future performance. Competition for these individuals is intense, and we cannot assure you that we will retain our executive management team and other key employees or that we will be able to attract, retain and/or develop other highly qualified individuals for these positions in the future. Additionally, the compensation and benefits packages we may need to offer to remain competitive for these individuals could increase the cost of replacement and retention. Losing any one or more of these persons could adversely affect our business, disrupt short-term operational performance, diminish our opportunities and weaken our relationships with lenders, business partners, existing and prospective tenants and others, which could have a material adverse effect on us.

ITEM 1C.    CYBERSECURITY

Risk management and strategy

We recognize the critical importance of developing, implementing, and maintaining robust cybersecurity measures to safeguard our information systems and protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our data.

Our corporate information technology, communication networks, enterprise applications, accounting and financial reporting platforms, and related systems are necessary for the operation of our business. We use these systems, among others, to manage our tenant relationships, for internal communications, for accounting to operate our record-keeping function, and for many other key aspects of our business. Our business operations rely on the secure collection, storage, transmission, and other processing of proprietary, confidential, and sensitive data.

Managing Material Risks & Integrated Overall Risk Management

We have strategically integrated cybersecurity risk management into our broader risk management framework to promote a company-wide culture of cybersecurity risk management. This integration ensures that cybersecurity considerations are an integral part of our decision-making processes at every level. Our technology department continuously identifies, evaluates and manages material risks from cybersecurity threats to our critical computer networks, third-party hosted services, communications systems, hardware and software, and our critical data, including intellectual property, confidential information that is proprietary, strategic or competitive in nature, and tenant data in alignment with our business objectives and operational needs.

Engage Third-parties on Risk Management

Recognizing the complexity and evolving nature of cybersecurity threats, we engage with a range of external experts, including cybersecurity assessors and consultants in evaluating and testing our risk management systems. We seek to engage reliable, reputable service providers that maintain cybersecurity programs. These partnerships enable us to leverage specialized knowledge and insights, ensuring our cybersecurity strategies and processes remain at the forefront of industry best practices. Our collaboration with these third parties include regular monitoring, threat assessments, and consultation on security enhancements. Depending on the nature of the services provided, the sensitivity and quantity of information processed, and the identity of the service provider, our vendor management process may include reviewing the cybersecurity practices of such provider, contractually imposing obligations on the provider, conducting security assessments, and conducting periodic reassessments during their engagement.

We are not aware of any risks from cybersecurity threats, including as a result of any cybersecurity incidents, which have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our Company or the Operating Partnership, including our business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. Refer to “Item 1A. Risk factors” in this Annual Report, including the risk factor entitled “Cyber-attacks or acts of cyber-terrorism could disrupt our or our third-party providers' business operations and information technology systems or result in the loss or exposure of confidential or sensitive customer, employee or Company information”, for additional discussion about cybersecurity-related risks.

Governance

The Board is focused on the critical nature of managing risks associated with cybersecurity threats. The Board has delegated to its Audit Committee oversight of management's processes for identifying and mitigating risks, including cybersecurity-related risks, to help align our risk exposure with our strategic objectives.

Board of Directors Oversight

The Audit Committee of the Board oversees our annual enterprise risk assessment, where we assess key material risks within our Company, including technology risks and cybersecurity threats. The Audit Committee engages in regular discussions with management regarding the Company’s significant financial risk exposures and the measures implemented to monitor and control these risks, including those that may result from material cybersecurity threats. These discussions include the Company’s risk assessment and risk management policies.

31



Management’s Role Managing Risk

Assessing, identifying and managing cybersecurity related risks are integrated into our overall enterprise risk management ("ERM") process. Cybersecurity related risks are included in the population that the ERM function evaluates to assess the top risks to the enterprise on a quarterly basis. To the extent the ERM process identifies a heightened cybersecurity related risk, management develops risk mitigation plans to minimize the risk. The ERM annual risk assessment is presented to the Audit Committee of the Board.

Monitor Cybersecurity Incidents

The Senior Vice President of Information Technology ("SVP IT") is continually informed about the latest developments in cybersecurity, including potential threats and innovative risk management techniques. This ongoing knowledge acquisition is crucial for the effective prevention, detection, mitigation, and remediation of cybersecurity incidents. The SVP IT implements and oversees processes for the regular monitoring of our information systems. This includes the deployment of advanced security measures and regular system audits to identify potential vulnerabilities. In the event of a cybersecurity incident, we believe we have a well-defined incident response plan governing our assessment, response and notifications internally and externally upon the occurrence of a cybersecurity incident.

Depending on the nature and severity of an incident, this process provides for evaluation by an executive management group to determine if the incident is material to us by evaluating the impact on our financial condition, reputation and potential litigation risk and regulatory impact. The management group is comprised of the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operating Officer, General Counsel, Chief Accounting Officer and the SVP IT to determine if escalation is necessary by the Chief Executive Officer to the Board (specifically our Lead Independent Director and the Audit Committee Chair).

Reporting to Board of Directors

The SVP IT plays a pivotal role in informing the Audit Committee on cybersecurity-related risks. The Audit Committee holds quarterly meetings and the SVP IT provides periodic reports, on at least a quarterly basis, to the Audit Committee.

These reports cover a broad range of topics, including:

Status of ongoing cybersecurity initiatives and strategies;
Incident reports and learnings from any cybersecurity events; and
Compliance with regulatory requirements and industry standards

The SVP IT regularly informs our executive management group of all aspects related to cybersecurity risks and incidents. This ensures that the highest levels of management are kept abreast of the cybersecurity environment and potential risks facing us. Furthermore, significant cybersecurity matters, and strategic risk management decisions are escalated to the Audit Committee, ensuring that they have comprehensive oversight and can provide guidance on critical cybersecurity issues.

As of the date of this Annual Report, we have not experienced any cybersecurity incidents that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect us, including our business strategy, results of operations or financial condition.

ITEM 2.PROPERTIES

As of December 31, 2023, our consolidated portfolio consisted of 31 outlet centers and one open-air lifestyle center, totaling 12.7 million square feet located in 18 states. We own interests in six other outlet centers totaling approximately 2.1 million square feet through unconsolidated joint ventures, including two outlet centers located in Canada. Our portfolio also includes two managed centers totaling approximately 760,000 square feet. Each of our outlet centers, except one joint venture property, features the Tanger brand name. Our consolidated centers range in size from 181,687 to 739,148 square feet. The centers are generally located near tourist destinations or along major interstate highways to provide visibility and accessibility to potential customers.

We believe that our centers are well diversified geographically and by tenant and that we are not dependent upon any single property or tenant. No property comprises more than 10% or more of our consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2023. Our asset in Deer Park represented more than 10% of our consolidated total assets in 2022. With the addition of Nashville, Asheville and Huntsville, Deer Park's total assets now fall below 10% of our consoliated total assets. No property comprises more than 10% of our consolidated revenues for the year ended December 31, 2023.

We have an ongoing strategy of acquiring centers, developing new centers and expanding existing centers. See “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources” for a discussion of the cost of such programs and the sources of financing thereof.

As of December 31, 2023, of the 32 centers in our consolidated portfolio, we own the land underlying 26 and have ground leases on all or a portion of six centers. The following table sets forth information about such land leases:

Mashantucket, CT (Foxwoods)8.120392089
Rehoboth Beach, DE2.72044
2064

Generally, our leases with our center tenants typically have an initial term that ranges from 5 to 10 years and provide for the payment of fixed monthly rent in advance. There are often contractual base rent increases during the initial term of the lease. In addition, the rental payments are customarily subject to upward adjustments based upon tenant sales volume. A component of most leases includes a pro-rata share or escalating fixed contributions by the tenant for property operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes, insurance and advertising and promotion, thereby reducing exposure to increases in operating expenses resulting from inflation.

Leasing activity

In 2021, we revised our rent spread presentation from a commenced basis to executed basis and we are presenting it for comparable space. Comparable space excludes leases for space that was vacant for more than 12 months (non-comparable space). We believe that this presentation provides additional information and improves comparability to other retail REITs. Prior period results have been revised to conform with the current period presentation.

The following table sets forth leasing activity for each of the calendar years for comparable space for executed leases for consolidated centers.(1)

(3)Represents change in initial and expiring cash rent (base rent and CAM). See above for a description of the change in calculation from prior periods.

Occupancy Costs

We believe that our ratio of average tenant occupancy cost (which includes base rent, common area maintenance, real estate taxes, insurance, advertising and promotions) to average sales per square foot is one of the lowest in the retail industry. The following table sets forth for tenants that report sales, for each of the last five calendar years, tenant occupancy costs per square foot as a percentage of reported tenant sales per square foot for our consolidated centers:

(1)As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, retailers' stores were closed for much of the second quarter of 2020 due to mandates by order of local and state authorities. Given the fewer than twelve months of sales reported by our tenants for 2020, an average tenant occupancy cost is not provided for this period.

As of December 31, 2023, our occupancy cost ratio increased to 9.3%. The increase from 2022 predominantly relates to higher tenant occupancy costs.

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

Tanger Inc. Market Information

The Company's common shares commenced trading on the New York Stock Exchange on May 28, 1993, and are listed on the New York Stock Exchange with the ticker symbol "SKT".

Holders

As of February 1, 2024, there were approximately 337 common shareholders of record.

Share Repurchases

In May 2023, the Board authorized the repurchase of up to $100.0 million of the Company’s outstanding shares through May 31, 2025, replacing the previously authorized plan to repurchase up to $80.0 million of the Company's outstanding shares through May 31, 2023. Repurchases may be made from time to time through open market, privately-negotiated, structured or derivative transactions (including accelerated share repurchase transactions), or other methods of acquiring shares. The Company intends to structure open market purchases to occur within the pricing and volume requirements of Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act. The Company may, from time to time, enter into Rule 10b5-1 plans to facilitate the repurchase of its shares under this authorization. The Company did not repurchase any shares subsequent to the authorization of the repurchase plan in May 2023. The remaining amount authorized to be repurchased under the program as of December 31, 2023 was $100.0 million.

The following table summarizes our common share repurchases for the quarter ended December 31, 2023:
PeriodTotal number of shares purchasedAverage price paid per shareTotal number of shares purchased as part of publicly announced plans or programsApproximate dollar value of shares that may yet be purchased under the plans or programs

December 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023— — — 100.0 
Total— $— — $100.0 

For certain restricted common shares that vested during the three months ended December 31, 2023, we withheld shares with value equivalent up to the employees' obligation for the applicable income and other employment taxes, and remitted the cash to the appropriate taxing authorities. The total number of shares withheld upon vesting was 11,736 for the three months ended December 31, 2023.

Dividends

The Company operates in a manner intended to enable it to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code. A REIT is required to distribute at least 90% of its taxable income to its shareholders each year. We intend to continue to qualify as a REIT and to distribute substantially all of our taxable income to our shareholders through the payment of regular quarterly dividends. Certain of our debt agreements limit the payment of dividends such that dividends shall not exceed funds from operations ("FFO"), as defined in the debt agreements, for the prior fiscal year on an annual basis or 95% of FFO on a cumulative basis. During the years ended 2023 and 2022, the Company paid dividends aggregating $0.97 and $0.8025 per share, respectively. On January 17, 2024, the Board declared a quarterly dividend of $0.26 per share, which were paid on February 15, 2024. The Board continues to evaluate the potential for future dividend payments on a quarterly basis. We were in compliance with REIT taxable income distribution requirements for the 2023 tax year.

Results of Operations

2023 Compared to 2022

Net income
Net income increased $18.1 million in the 2023 period to a net income of $103.9 million as compared to net income of $85.8 million for the 2022 period. The increase in net income is primarily due to the following:

increase in average portfolio occupancy rate from 95% to 97%,
higher property management and leasing responsibilities for two centers in Palm Beach, Florida,
increase in other revenues from marketing partnership programs,
higher investment income
48



lower depreciation expense

These increases were partially offset by:

lower termination fees,
gain on sale of assets in the 2022 period of $3.2 million from the sale of our Blowing Rock, North Carolina center,
higher general and administrative expenses in 2023

In the tables below, information set forth for properties disposed includes the Blowing Rock, NC center sold in December 2022. New developments and acquired properties relates to the Nashville, TN; Asheville, NC; and Huntsville, AL centers all of which were opened or acquired in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Rental Revenues
Rental revenues increased $17.5 million in the 2023 period compared to the 2022 period. The following table sets forth the changes in various components of rental revenues (in thousands):

Rental revenues from existing properties increased primarily due to growth in occupancy and rental rates in 2023. Our average occupancy increased from 95% to 97% from 2022 to 2023. The 2022 period included significant termination rents from certain tenants. The 2023 period did not have termination rents at that level.

Management, Leasing and Other Services

Total Fees$8,660 $7,157 $1,503 

Management, leasing and other service revenue increased in the 2023 period due to the addition of property management responsibilities for two centers in Palm Beach, Florida during 2022 and 2023.

Other Revenues
Other revenues increased $2.8 million in the 2023 period as compared to the 2022 period. The following table sets forth the changes in other revenues (in thousands):
 20232022
Increase/(Decrease)
Other revenues from existing properties$16,171 $13,861 $2,310 
Other revenues from new developments and acquired properties687 — 687 
Other revenues from property disposed— 176 (176)
 $16,858 $14,037 $2,821 

Other revenues from existing properties increased in the 2023 period due an increase in other revenue streams, such as EV charging, paid media, sponsorships and onsite signage, on a local and national level.

Property Operating Expenses
Property operating expenses increased $1.6 million in the 2023 period compared to the 2022 period. The following table sets forth the changes in various components of property operating expenses (in thousands):
 20232022
Increase/(Decrease)
Property operating expenses from existing properties$136,381 $137,428 $(1,047)
Property operating expenses from new developments and acquired properties3,593 — 3,593 
Property operating expenses from property disposed— 962 (962)
Expenses related to unconsolidated joint ventures and managed properties4,881 4,432 449 
Other property operating expense692 1,114 (422)
 $145,547 $143,936 $1,611 

Property operating expenses at existing properties decreased in the 2023 period compared to the 2022 period primarily due to decreases in snow removal expense from a mild winter in 2023.

General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses increased $4.6 million in the 2023 period compared to the 2022 period. The 2023 period includes higher compensation costs due to the addition of certain executives and other key employees during 2022 and 2023 to drive operational and growth initiatives. In addition, the 2023 period includes increases in share-based compensation and other employee benefit costs. Finally, 2023 and 2022 includes executive compensation adjustments, totaling ($806,000) and $2.4 million, respectively.

Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $3.0 million in the 2023 period compared to the 2022 period. The following table sets forth the changes in various components of depreciation and amortization costs from the 2022 period to the 2023 period (in thousands):
 20232022
Increase/(Decrease)
Depreciation and amortization expenses from existing properties$104,000 $111,017 $(7,017)
Depreciation and amortization from new developments and acquired properties4,889 — 4,889 
Depreciation and amortization from disposed property— 887 (887)
 $108,889 $111,904 $(3,015)

Depreciation and amortization expense from existing properties decreased as certain assets became fully depreciated during the 2022 and 2023 periods. In addition, during the year ended 2022, we changed our useful depreciable lives of our solar assets to better reflect the estimated periods during which these assets will remain in service. The estimated useful lives of these assets that previously averaged 20 years were decreased to an average of ten years. The effect of this change in estimate was to increase 2022 depreciation expense by $4.4 million.

Interest Expense
Interest expense increased $1.0 million in the 2023 period compared to the 2022 period primarily because starting in the second quarter of 2022, interest rates began to rise significantly which impacted our debt that is based on variable rates. In October 2022, we amended and restated our unsecured term loan. The outstanding balance was increased from $300.0 million to $325.0 million, and the maturity date was extended to January 2027 plus a one-year extension option. Also, in October 2022, the Southaven, Mississippi consolidated joint venture amended and restated its variable interest rate secured term loan, increasing the outstanding balance to $51.7 million from
$40.1 million.

In May 2023, Fitch Ratings assigned a first-time ‘BBB’ long-term issuer default rating to the Company and the Operating Partnership, along with a Stable rating outlook. Fitch also assigned a ‘BBB’ rating to Operating Partnership’s senior unsecured debt, which includes our lines of credit, a term loan and senior notes. As a result, the applicable pricing margin on each of our unsecured lines of credit and our term loan was reduced by 25 basis points (including a 5 basis point reduction in the facility fee on the unsecured lines of credit).

Gain on Sale of Assets
In December 2022, we sold a non-core center in Blowing Rock, North Carolina for net proceeds of $12.4 million, which resulted in a gain on sale of assets of $3.2 million.

Other Income (Expense)
Other income (expense) increased approximately $3.7 million in the 2023 period compared to the 2022 period, primarily due to higher returns on our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments from opportunities available in the rising interest rate environment. This was partially offset by the 2022 period including a $2.4 million gain on sale of a non-real estate asset.

Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
Equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated joint ventures decreased approximately $354,000 in the 2023 period compared to the 2022 period. The decrease is primarily due to the increase in variable interest rates which began in 2022 and continued through 2023 and negatively impacted two of our joint ventures, from the refinancing of those two joint ventures mortgages.

In June 2023, the Galveston/Houston joint venture completed the refinance of its mortgage. The new $58.0 million loan has a maturity date of June 2026 and an interest rate of Daily SOFR + 3.00%. In conjunction with this refinance, the joint venture entered into a $29.0 million interest rate swap agreement that fixes Daily SOFR at 4.44% until December 2025.
51



In September 2022, the Columbus joint venture completed the refinance of its existing $71.0 million mortgage with an interest rate of LIBOR + 1.85% which had a maturity date of November 2022. The refinanced mortgage remained $71.0 million but became a non-recourse loan with a maturity date in October 2032 and a fixed interest rate of 6.25%.

2022 Compared to 2021

For a discussion of our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022, including a year-to-year comparison between 2022 and 2021, refer to Part II, Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources of the Company

In this “Liquidity and Capital Resources of the Company” section, the term, the "Company", refers only to Tanger Inc. on an unconsolidated basis, excluding the Operating Partnership.

The Company's business is operated primarily through the Operating Partnership. The Company issues public equity from time to time, but does not otherwise generate any capital itself or conduct any business itself, other than incurring certain expenses in operating as a public company, which are fully reimbursed by the Operating Partnership. The Company does not hold any indebtedness, and its only material asset is its ownership of partnership interests of the Operating Partnership. The Company's principal funding requirement is the payment of dividends on its common shares. The Company's principal source of funding for its dividend payments is distributions it receives from the Operating Partnership.

Through its status as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Company has the full, exclusive and complete responsibility for the Operating Partnership's day-to-day management and control. The Company causes the Operating Partnership to distribute all, or such portion as the Company may in its discretion determine, of its available cash in the manner provided in the Operating Partnership's partnership agreement. The Company receives proceeds from equity issuances from time to time, but is required by the Operating Partnership's partnership agreement to contribute the proceeds from its equity issuances to the Operating Partnership in exchange for partnership units of the Operating Partnership.
 
We are a well-known seasoned issuer with a shelf registration that expires in December 2026, which allows us to register various unspecified classes of equity securities and the Operating Partnership to register various unspecified classes of debt securities. As circumstances warrant, we may issue equity from time to time on an opportunistic basis, dependent upon market conditions and available pricing. The Operating Partnership may use the proceeds to repay debt, including borrowings under its lines of credit, develop new or existing properties, make acquisitions of properties or portfolios of properties, invest in existing or newly created joint ventures, or for general corporate purposes.

Our liquidity is dependent on the Operating Partnership's ability to make sufficient distributions to us. The Operating Partnership is a party to loan agreements with various bank lenders that require the Operating Partnership to comply with various financial and other covenants before it may make distributions to us. We also also guarantee some of the Operating Partnership's debt. If the Operating Partnership fails to fulfill its debt requirements, which would trigger our guarantee obligations, then we may be required to fulfill our cash payment commitments under such guarantees. However, our only material asset is our investment in the Operating Partnership.
 
We believe the Operating Partnership's sources of working capital, specifically its cash flow from operations, and borrowings available under its unsecured credit facilities, are adequate for it to make its distribution payments to us and, in turn, for us to make dividend payments to our shareholders and to finance our continued operations, investment and growth strategy and additional expenses we expect to incur. However, there can be no assurance that the Operating Partnership's sources of capital will continue to be available at all or in amounts sufficient to meet its needs, including its ability to make distribution payments to us. The unavailability of capital could adversely affect the Operating Partnership's ability to pay its distributions to us, which will in turn, adversely affect our ability to pay cash dividends to our shareholders.

52



We operate in a manner intended to enable us to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code. In order for us to maintain our qualification as a REIT, we must pay dividends to our shareholders aggregating annually at least 90% of our taxable income. While historically we have satisfied this distribution requirement by making cash distributions to our shareholders, it may choose to satisfy this requirement by making distributions of cash or other property, including, in limited circumstances, our own shares.

For tax reporting purposes, we distributed approximately $101.0 million during 2023. If in any taxable year, we were to fail to qualify as a REIT and certain statutory relief provisions were not applicable, we would not be allowed a deduction for distributions to shareholders in computing taxable income and would be subject to U.S. federal income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax for tax years prior to 2018) on our taxable income at the regular corporate rate.

As a result of this distribution requirement, the Operating Partnership cannot rely on retained earnings to fund its on-going operations to the same extent that other companies whose parent companies are not REITs can. We may need to continue to raise capital in the equity markets to fund the Operating Partnership's working capital needs, as well as potential developments of new or existing properties, acquisitions or investments in existing or newly created joint ventures.

We currently consolidate the Operating Partnership because we have (1) the power to direct the activities of the Operating Partnership that most significantly impact the Operating Partnership’s economic performance and (2) the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive the residual returns of the Operating Partnership that could be potentially significant. We do not have significant assets other than its investment in the Operating Partnership. Therefore, the assets and liabilities and the revenues and expenses of the Company and the Operating Partnership are the same on their respective financial statements, except for immaterial differences related to cash, other assets and accrued liabilities that arise from public company expenses paid by the Company. However, all debt is held directly or indirectly at the Operating Partnership level, and we have guaranteed some of the Operating Partnership's unsecured debt as discussed below. Because we consolidate the Operating Partnership, the section entitled "Liquidity and Capital Resources of the Operating Partnership" should be read in conjunction with this section to understand the liquidity and capital resources of the Company on a consolidated basis and how the Company is operated as a whole.

Under our ATM Offering, which commenced in February 2021, and was reinstated with a new program in December 2023, we may offer and sell our common shares, $0.01 par value per share (“Common Shares”), having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $250.0 million. We may sell the Common Shares in amounts and at times to be determined by us but we have no obligation to sell any of the Common Shares. Actual sales, if any, will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by us from time to time, including, among other things, market conditions, the trading price of the Common Shares, capital needs and determinations by us of the appropriate sources of its funding. We currently intend to use the net proceeds from any sale of Common Shares pursuant to the ATM Offering for working capital and general corporate purposes. As of December 31, 2023, we had approximately $220.1 million remaining available for sale under our ATM Offering program.

The following table sets forth information regarding settlements under our ATM Offering program:

202320222021
Number of common shares settled during the period3,494,919 — 10,009,263 
Average price per share$25.75 $— $18.97 
Aggregate gross proceeds (in thousands) $89,986 $— $189,868 
Aggregate net proceeds after commissions and fees (in thousands)$88,861 $— $186,969 

In May 2023, the Board authorized the repurchase of up to $100.0 million of our outstanding Common Shares through May 31, 2025. Repurchases may be made from time to time through open market, privately-negotiated, structured or derivative transactions (including accelerated share repurchase transactions), or other methods of acquiring Common Shares. We intend to structure open market purchases to occur within pricing and volume requirements of Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act. We may, from time to time, enter into Rule 10b5-1 plans to facilitate the repurchase of our Common Shares under this authorization. We did not repurchase any Common Shares during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021. The remaining amount of Common Shares authorized to be repurchased under the program as of December 31, 2023 was $100.0 million.

53



In January 2024, the Board declared a $0.26 cash dividend per Common Share payable on February 15, 2024 to each shareholder of record on January 31, 2024, and a $0.26 cash distribution per general and limited partnership unit to the Operating Partnership's unitholders.

Liquidity and Capital Resources of the Operating Partnership

In this “Liquidity and Capital Resources of the Operating Partnership” section, the terms “we”, “our” and “us” refer to the Operating Partnership or the Operating Partnership and the Company together, as the context requires.

Summary of Our Major Sources and Uses of Cash and Cash Equivalents

General Overview
Property rental income represents our primary source to pay property operating expenses, debt service, capital expenditures and distributions, excluding non-recurring capital expenditures and acquisitions. To the extent that our cash flow from operating activities is insufficient to cover such non-recurring capital expenditures and acquisitions, we finance such activities from borrowings under our unsecured lines of credit or from the proceeds from the Operating Partnership’s debt offerings and the Company’s equity offerings.

We believe we achieve a strong and flexible financial position by attempting to: (1) maintain a conservative leverage position relative to our portfolio when pursuing new development, expansion and acquisition opportunities, (2) extend and sequence debt maturities, (3) manage our interest rate risk through an appropriate mix of fixed and variable rate debt and interest rate hedging strategies, (4) maintain access to liquidity by using our lines of credit in a conservative manner and (5) preserve internally generated sources of capital by maintaining a conservative distribution payout ratio. We manage our capital structure to reflect a long-term investment approach and utilize multiple sources of capital to meet our requirements, including without limitation, cash on hand, retained free cash flow and debt and equity issuances.

Capital Expenditures
The following table details our capital expenditures for consolidated centers for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively (in thousands):

(1)New center developments and expansions in both periods primarily due to development costs at our site in Nashville, TN.
(2)In the 2023 and 2022 periods, second generation tenant allowances are presented net of $1.1 million and $1.5  million tenant allowance reversals respectively, which were the result of a lease modifications.
(3)The increase in other capital expenditures in 2023 was primarily related to our ongoing solar initiatives. Other capital expenditures includes capital expenditures related to recurring and value-enhancing capital activities.

We expect total capital expenditures for 2024 to be approximately $100.0 million as compared to capital expenditures of $188.2 million in 2023. The higher 2023 amount was driven primarily by the expenditures for our Nashville, TN development, which opened in October 2023. We expect to maintain sufficient liquidity to fund these capital expenditures.

Acquisitions
In November 2023, we acquired a 382,000-square-foot, open-air outlet center in Asheville, North Carolina for $70 million in an all-cash transaction. The established center is occupied by a diverse mix of brands that includes leading home furnishings providers as well as iconic apparel, footwear and accessories brands.

54



In addition, in November 2023, we acquired Bridge Street Town Centre, an 825,000-square-foot, open-air lifestyle center in Huntsville, Alabama for $193.5 million with cash. proceeds from our ATM program and amounts available under our unsecured lines of credit. The center comprises over 80 retail stores, restaurants, and entertainment venues and serves as the dominant shopping destination in the market.

Potential Future Developments, Acquisitions and Dispositions
As of the date of the filing of this Annual Report, we are not in the pre-development period for any potential new developments. We may use joint venture arrangements to develop potential sites. We expect to maintain sufficient liquidity to fund existing capital expenditures.

In the case of projects to be wholly-owned by us, we expect to fund these projects with cash on hand, borrowings under our unsecured lines of credit and cash flows from operations, but may also fund them with capital from additional public debt and equity offerings. For projects to be developed through joint venture arrangements, we may use collateralized construction loans to fund a portion of the project, with our share of the equity requirements funded from sources described above.

We intend to continue to grow our portfolio by developing, expanding or acquiring additional retail real estate assets. Future retail real estate assets may be wholly-owned by us, owned through joint ventures or partnership arrangements, or through management agreements. However, you should note that any developments or expansions that we, or a joint venture that we have an ownership interest in, have planned or anticipated may not be started or completed as scheduled, or may not result in accretive net income or FFO. See the section "Non-GAAP Supplemental Earnings Measures" - "Funds From Operations" below for further discussion of FFO. In addition, we regularly evaluate acquisition or disposition proposals and engage from time to time in negotiations for acquisitions or dispositions of properties. We may also enter into letters of intent for the purchase or sale of properties. Any prospective acquisition or disposition that is being evaluated or that is subject to a letter of intent may not be consummated, or if consummated, may not result in an increase in earnings or liquidity.

Unconsolidated Real Estate Joint Ventures
From time to time, we form joint venture arrangements to develop or acquire centers. As of December 31, 2023, we have partial ownership interests in six unconsolidated centers totaling approximately 2.1 million square feet, including two centers located in Canada. See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for details of our individual joint ventures, including, but not limited to, the carrying values of our investments, fees we receive for services provided to the joint ventures, recent development and financing transactions and condensed combined summary financial information.

We may elect to fund cash needs of a joint venture through equity contributions (generally on a basis proportionate to our ownership interests in the joint venture), advances or partner loans, although such funding is not typically required contractually or otherwise. We separately report investments in joint ventures for which accumulated distributions have exceeded investments in, and our share of net income or loss of, the joint ventures within other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets because we are committed and intend to provide further financial support to these joint ventures. We believe our joint ventures will be able to fund their operating and capital needs during the year ended 2024 based on their sources of working capital, specifically cash flow from operations, access to contributions from partners, and ability to refinance all or portion of their debt obligations, including the ability to exercise upcoming extensions of near-term maturities.

Our joint ventures are typically encumbered by a mortgage on the joint venture property. We provide guarantees to lenders for our joint ventures which include standard non-recourse carve out indemnifications for losses arising from items such as but not limited to fraud, physical waste, payment of taxes, environmental indemnities, misapplication of insurance proceeds or security deposits and failure to maintain required insurance. A default by a joint venture under its debt obligations may expose us to liability under the guaranty. For construction and mortgage loans, we may include a guaranty of completion as well as a principal guaranty. The principal guarantees include terms for release based upon satisfactory completion of construction and performance targets including occupancy thresholds and minimum debt service coverage tests. Our joint ventures may contain make whole provisions in the event that demands are made on any existing guarantees.



55



Our joint ventures are generally subject to buy-sell provisions, which are customary for joint venture agreements in the real estate industry. Either partner may initiate these provisions (subject to any applicable lock up period), which could result in either the sale of our interest or the use of available cash or additional borrowings to acquire the other party's interest. Under these provisions, one partner sets a price for the property, then the other partner has the option to either (1) purchase their partner's interest based on that price or (2) sell its interest to the other partner based on that price. Since the partner other than the partner who triggers the provision has the option to be the buyer or seller, we do not consider this arrangement to be a mandatory redeemable obligation.

Future Debt Obligations
As described further in Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, as of December 31, 2023, scheduled maturities and principal amortization of our existing debt for 2024, 2025, 2026 and 2027 are $5.1 million, $14.5 million, $407.4 million and $625.0 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, scheduled maturities after 2027 aggregate to $400.0 million.

Future Interest Payments
We are obligated to make periodic interest payments at fixed and variable rates, depending on the terms of the applicable debt agreements. Based on applicable interest rates and scheduled debt maturities as of December 31, 2023, these interest obligations total approximately $220.7 million and range from approximately $11.0 million to $55.2 million on an annual basis over the next five years. Our variable rate debt agreements are based on Daily SOFR so the Daily SOFR rate at December 31, 2023 was used to calculate future interest expense.

Operating Lease Obligations
As described further in Note 21 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, as of December 31, 2023, we had a total of $232.6 million of minimum operating lease obligations. These minimum lease payments range from approximately $4.9 million to $5.9 million on an annual basis over the next five years.

Other Contractual Obligations
Other contractual obligations totaled $5.9 million as of December 31, 2023. These obligations range from approximately $1.3 million to $1.7 million on an annual basis over the next five years.

Cash Flows

The following table sets forth our changes in cash flows from 2023 and 2022 (in thousands):

20232022Change
Net cash provided by operating activities$229,515 $213,950 $15,565 
Net cash used in investing activities(409,561)(98,817)(310,744)

Effect of foreign currency rate changes on cash and equivalents(115)(111)(4)
Net increase/(decrease) in cash and cash equivalents
$(199,439)$50,859 $(250,298)

Operating Activities
The increase in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to the addition of three centers during the fourth quarter of 2023, changes in working capital and an increase in rental revenues at existing centers primarily driven by an increase in occupancy rates and increase in rental rates.

Investing Activities
The increase in net cash used in investing activities was primarily driven by the acquisition in November 2023 of two centers in Asheville, NC and Huntsville, AL, for a net total of $259.7 million. In addition, during 2023, we completed the development of our new center in Nashville, TN, which opened in October 2023.

56



Financing Activities
The primary cause for the decrease in net cash used in financing activities was the issuance of approximately 3.5 million Common Shares under our ATM Offering Program during 2023, which generated approximately $88.4 million of net proceeds. This increase was partially offset by higher dividends paid during 2023 compared to 2022 primarily driven by an increase in our dividend rate.

Financing Arrangements

See Notes 8 and 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, for details of our current outstanding debt, financing transactions that have occurred over the past three years and debt maturities. As of December 31, 2023, unsecured borrowings represented 96% of our outstanding debt and 93% of the gross book value of our real estate portfolio was unencumbered. As of December 31, 2023, 6% of our outstanding debt, excluding variable rate debt with interest rate protection agreements in place, had variable interest rates and therefore was subject to market fluctuations.

We intend to retain the ability to raise additional capital, including public debt or equity, to pursue attractive investment opportunities that may arise and to otherwise act in a manner that we believe to be in the best interests of our shareholders and unitholders. The Company and Operating Partnership are well-known seasoned issuers with a joint shelf registration statement on Form S-3, expiring in December 2026, that allows us to register unspecified amounts of different classes of securities. To generate capital to reinvest into other attractive investment opportunities, we may also consider the use of additional operational and developmental joint ventures, property management opportunities, the sale or lease of outparcels on our existing properties and the sale of certain properties that do not meet our long-term investment criteria. Based on cash provided by operations, existing lines of credit, ongoing relationships with certain financial institutions and our ability to sell debt or issue equity subject to market conditions, we believe that we have access to the necessary financing to fund the planned capital expenditures for at least the next twelve months.

We anticipate that adequate cash will be available to fund our operating and administrative expenses, regular debt service obligations, and the payment of dividends in accordance with REIT requirements in both the short and long-term. Although we receive most of our rental payments on a monthly basis, dividends and distributions to shareholders and unitholders, respectively, are typically made quarterly and interest payments on the senior, unsecured notes are made semi-annually. Amounts accumulated for such payments will be used in the interim to reduce the outstanding borrowings under our existing unsecured lines of credit or invested in short-term money market or other suitable instruments.

We believe our current balance sheet position is financially sound; however, due to the economic uncertainty caused by the current macroeconomic environment, including rising interest rates and inflation, and the inherent uncertainty and unpredictability of the capital and credit markets, we can give no assurance that affordable access to capital will exist between now and when our next significant debt matures, which is our $350.0 million senior notes due September 2026.

Equity Offerings under the ATM Offering Program
During 2023, we sold 3.5 million shares under our at-the-market stock offering ("ATM Offering") program at a weighted average price of $25.75 per share, generating gross proceeds of $87.3 million. As of December 31, 2023, we have a remaining authorization of $220.1 million under the ATM Offering Program.

Our ATM Offering Program also provides that we may sell Common Shares through forward sale contracts. Actual sales under the ATM Offering Program will depend on a variety of factors including market conditions, the trading price of our Common Stock, our capital needs, and our determination of the appropriate sources of funding to meet such needs.

Derivatives
Throughout 2023, we entered into $325 million of forward starting Daily SOFR interest rate swaps at average fixed pay rate of 3.90%. The swaps were effective February 1, 2024 and end at various dates from February 1, 2026 to January 1, 2027. These swaps replace $300.0 million of existing swaps that expired on February 1, 2024 as part of our interest rate risk management strategy.



57



Redemption of the 2023 and 2024 Senior Notes and public offering of aggregate $400.0 Million Unsecured Senior Notes due 2031
In April 2021, we completed a partial redemption of $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of our $250.0 million 3.875% senior notes due December 2023, for $163.0 million in cash, which includes a make-whole premium of $13.0 million and the write-off of approximately $1.0 million of debt discount and debt origination costs. The make-whole premium and the write-off of debt discount and debt origination costs was recorded as a loss on early extinguishment of debt within the consolidated statements of operations. Subsequent to this redemption, $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of the notes remained outstanding, until the redemption in August 2021, described below.

In August 2021, we completed a public offering of $400.0 million in senior notes due 2031. The notes were priced at 98.552% of the principal amount to yield 2.917% to maturity. The notes pay interest semi-annually at a rate of 2.750% per annum and mature on September 1, 2031. The aggregate net proceeds from the offering, after deducting the underwriting discount and offering expenses, were approximately $390.7 million. We used the net proceeds from the sale of the notes to redeem all remaining 3.875% senior notes due 2023, $100.0 million in aggregate principal amount outstanding, and all 3.750% senior notes due 2024, totaling $250.0 million in aggregate principal outstanding. The redemptions occurred in September 2021 and included a make-whole premium of $31.9 million and the write-off of approximately $1.9 million of debt discount and debt origination costs. The make-whole premium and the write-off of debt discount and debt origination costs was recorded as a loss on early extinguishment of debt within the consolidated statements of operations. The remaining net proceeds were used for general corporate purposes.

Unsecured term loan
In March 2021 and June 2021, we paid down a total of $50.0 million of borrowings under our $350.0 million unsecured term loan with cash on hand, reducing the balance outstanding to $300.0 million. In October 2022, we amended and restated our unsecured term loan. The outstanding balance was increased from $300.0 million to $325.0 million, and the maturity date was extended to January 2027 plus a one-year extension option. The interest rate changed from LIBOR + 1.25% to Adjusted SOFR + 0.95% based on our current credit rating. The amendment also incorporates a sustainability metric, reducing the applicable grid-based interest rate spread by one basis point annually, subject to meeting certain thresholds. The outstanding balance as of December 31, 2023 was $325.0 million.

Unsecured Lines of Credit Amendments and Extension
In October 2022 we amended the debt agreements for our unsecured lines of credit to change the interest rate index from LIBOR to Adjusted SOFR. All other terms remained unchanged.

Other Financing Activity

In October 2022, the Southaven, Mississippi consolidated joint venture amended and restated its secured mortgage, increasing the outstanding balance to $51.7 million from $40.1 million, extending the maturity date to October 2026 plus a one-year extension option, from April 2023, with an interest rate of Adjusted SOFR plus 200 basis points.

The Operating Partnership’s debt agreements require the maintenance of certain ratios, including debt service coverage and leverage, and limit the payment of dividends such that dividends and distributions will not exceed FFO, as defined in the debt agreements, for the prior fiscal year on an annual basis or 95% on a cumulative basis.

Debt Covenants

We have historically been, and at December 31, 2023 are, in compliance with all of our debt covenants. Our continued compliance with these covenants depends on many factors and could be impacted by current or future economic conditions. Failure to comply with these covenants would result in a default which, if we were unable to cure or obtain a waiver from the lenders, could accelerate the repayment obligations. Further, in the event of default, we may be restricted from paying dividends to our shareholders in excess of dividends required to maintain our REIT qualification. Accordingly, an event of default could have a material and adverse impact on us. As a result, we have considered our short-term (one year or less from the date of filing these financial statements) liquidity needs and the adequacy of our estimated cash flows from operating activities and other financing sources to meet these needs. These other sources include but are not limited to: existing cash, ongoing relationships with certain financial institutions, our ability to sell debt or issue equity subject to market conditions and proceeds from the potential sale of non-core assets. We believe that we have access to the necessary financing to fund our short-term liquidity needs.

As of December 31, 2023, we were in compliance with all financial and non-financial covenants related to our debt obligations, as detailed below:

Columbus, Ohio
In September 2022, the joint venture that owns the Columbus, Ohio center completed the refinance of its existing $71.0 million mortgage, which had an interest rate of LIBOR + 1.85% and a maturity date of November 2022. The refinanced mortgage remained $71.0 million, but became a non-recourse loan with a maturity date in October 2032 and a fixed interest rate of 6.25%.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and the Company’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and operating results require the Company’s management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates, and such differences may be material. Management believes the Company’s critical accounting estimates are those related to impairment of long-lived assets, impairment of investments, revenue recognition and collectability of operating lease receivables. Management considers these estimates critical because they are both important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and operating results, and they require management to make judgments and estimates about inherently uncertain matters. The Company’s senior management has reviewed these critical accounting estimates and related disclosures with the Audit Committee of the Board.

Evaluation of Impairment of long-lived assets

Rental property held and used by us is reviewed for impairment in the event that facts and circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In such an event, we compare the estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset to the asset's carrying amount, and if less than such carrying amount, recognize an impairment loss in an amount by which the carrying amount exceeds its fair value. The cash flow estimates used both for determining recoverability and estimating fair value are inherently judgmental and reflect current and projected trends in rental, occupancy, capitalization and discount rates, and estimated holding periods for the applicable assets. Impairment analyses are based on our current plans, intended holding periods and available market information at the time the analyses are prepared. If our estimates of the projected future cash flows change based on uncertain market conditions or holding periods, our evaluation of impairment losses may be different and such differences could be material to our consolidated financial statements. We have not materially changed the assumptions used in the analysis during the year ended December 31, 2023, and no impairments were identified.

One of our centers has an estimated fair value less than its recorded carrying value of approximately $111.1 million. However, based on our current plan with respect to that center, we believe that its carrying amount is recoverable and therefore no impairment charge was recorded. Accordingly, we will continue to monitor circumstances and events in future periods that could affect inputs such as the expected holding period, operating cash flow forecasts and capitalization rates, utilized to determine whether an impairment charge is necessary. As these inputs are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter our assumptions, the future cash flows estimated by management in its impairment analysis may not be achieved, and actual losses or impairment may be realized in the future. If in the future we reduce our estimate of cash flow projections, we may need to impair some of these assets. We have not materially changed the assumptions used in the analysis during the year ended December 31, 2023, and we have not taken any impairments of our assets during the year ended December 31, 2023.

Evaluation of Impairment of investments

Our estimates of value for each joint venture investment are based on a number of assumptions that are subject to economic and market uncertainties including, among others, estimated hold period, terminal capitalization rates, demand for space, competition for tenants, changes in market rental rates and operating costs of the property. These above factors are considered in the estimation process and are subject to significant management judgment, difficult to predict and contingent on future events that may alter our assumptions and the values estimated by us in our impairment analysis may not be realized.

Acquisitions of Real Estate

In accordance with the guidance for business combinations, we determine whether the acquisition of a property qualifies as a business combination, which requires that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed constitute a business. If the property acquired is not a business, we account for the transaction as an asset acquisition and therefore capitalize transaction costs. We evaluate each real estate acquisition to determine whether the integrated set of acquired assets and activities meets the definition of a business.

We allocate the purchase price of asset acquisitions based on the fair value of land, building, tenant improvements, debt and deferred lease costs and other intangibles, such as the value of leases with above or below market rents, origination costs associated with the in-place leases, the value of in-place leases and tenant relationships, if any. We depreciate the amount allocated to building, deferred lease costs and other intangible assets over their estimated useful lives, which range up to 33 years. The values of the above and below market leases are amortized and recorded as either an increase (in the case of below market leases) or a decrease (in the case of above market leases) to rental income over the remaining term of the associated lease. The values of below market leases that are considered to have renewal periods with below market rents are amortized over the remaining term of the associated lease plus the renewal periods when the renewal is deemed probable to occur. The value associated with in-place leases is amortized over the remaining lease term and tenant relationships are amortized over the expected term, which includes an estimated probability of the lease renewal. If a tenant terminates its lease prior to the contractual termination of the lease and no rental payments are being made on the lease, any unamortized balance of the related intangibles is written off. The tenant improvements and origination costs are amortized as an expense over the remaining life of the lease (or charged against earnings if the lease is terminated prior to its contractual expiration date). We assess fair value based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount and capitalization rates and available market information. These cash flow projections may be derived from various observable and unobservable inputs and assumptions. Also, we may utilize third-party valuation specialists. As a part of acquisition accounting, the amount by which the fair value of our previously held equity method investment exceeds the carrying book value is recorded as a gain on previously held interest in acquired joint venture.

During the fourth quarter of 2023, we acquired two centers for a total purchase price of $265.1 million, including capitalized transaction costs, that were accounted for as asset acquisitions. Using the above guidance, we allocated the purchase price of asset acquisitions based on the fair value of land, building, tenant improvements, debt and deferred lease costs and other intangibles, such as the value of leases with above or below market rents, origination costs associated with the in-place leases, the value of in-place leases and tenant relationships, if any. Approximately $7.0 million and $6.4 million, respectively, were allocated to above and below market rents.

Revenue recognition and collectibility of operating lease receivables

We, as a lessor, retain substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of our centers and account for our leases as operating leases. We accrue fixed lease income on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases, when we believe substantially all lease income, including the related straight-line rent receivable, is probable of collection. Our assessment of collectability requires the exercise of considerable judgment and incorporates available operational performance measures such as sales and the aging of billed amounts as well as other publicly available information with respect to our tenant’s financial condition, liquidity and capital resources. When a tenant seeks to reorganize its operations through bankruptcy proceedings, we assess the collectability of receivable balances including, among other things, the timing of a tenant’s bankruptcy filing and our expectations of the assumption by the tenant in bankruptcy proceeding of leases at our properties on substantially similar terms. In the event that we determine accrued receivables are not probable of collection, lease income will be recorded on a cash basis, with the corresponding tenant receivable and straight-line rent receivable charged as a direct write-off against lease income in the period of the change in our collectability determination.

Non-GAAP Supplemental Measures

Funds From Operations

FFO is a widely used measure of the operating performance for real estate companies that supplements net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP. We determine FFO based on the definition set forth by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Nareit”), of which we are a member. In December 2018, Nareit issued “Nareit Funds From Operations White Paper - 2018 Restatement” which clarifies, where necessary, existing guidance and consolidates alerts and policy bulletins into a single document for ease of use. Nareit defines FFO as net income (loss) available to the Company’s common shareholders computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding (i) depreciation and amortization related to real estate, (ii) gains or losses from sales of certain real estate assets, (iii) gains and losses from change in control, (iv) impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity and (v) after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis.

FFO is intended to exclude historical cost depreciation of real estate as required by GAAP, which assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes ratably over time. Historically, however, real estate values have risen or fallen with market conditions. Because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, gains and losses from property dispositions and extraordinary items, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities and interest costs, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income (loss).

We present FFO because we consider it an important supplemental measure of our operating performance. In addition, a portion of cash bonus compensation to certain members of management is based on our FFO or Core FFO, which is described in the section below. We believe it is useful for investors to have enhanced transparency into how we evaluate our performance and that of our management. In addition, FFO is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO when reporting their results. FFO is also widely used by us and others in our industry to evaluate and price potential acquisition candidates. We believe that FFO payout ratio, which represents regular distributions to common shareholders and unitholders of the Operating Partnership expressed as a percentage of FFO, is useful to investors because it facilitates the comparison of dividend coverage between REITs. Nareit has encouraged its member companies to report their FFO as a supplemental, industry-wide standard measure of REIT operating performance.

FFO has significant limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

FFO does not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

FFO does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and FFO does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and

Other companies in our industry may calculate FFO differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Because of these limitations, FFO should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business or our dividend paying capacity. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using FFO only as a supplemental measure.




62



Core Funds From Operations

We present Core FFO (formerly referred to as Adjusted Funds from Operations "AFFO") as a supplemental measure of our performance. We define Core FFO as FFO further adjusted to eliminate the impact of certain items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance. These further adjustments are itemized in the table below, if applicable. You are encouraged to evaluate these adjustments and the reasons we consider them appropriate for supplemental analysis. In evaluating Core FFO you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation. Our presentation of Core FFO should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.

We present Core FFO because we believe it assists investors and analysts in comparing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. In addition, we believe it is useful for investors to have enhanced transparency into how we evaluate management’s performance and the effectiveness of our business strategies. We use Core FFO when certain material, unplanned transactions occur as a factor in evaluating management’s performance and to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies, and may use Core FFO when determining incentive compensation.

Core FFO has limitations as an analytical tool. Some of these limitations are:

Core FFO does not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

Core FFO does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Core FFO does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;

Core FFO does not reflect the impact of certain cash charges resulting from matters we consider not to be indicative of our ongoing operations; and

Other companies in our industry may calculate Core FFO differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Because of these limitations, Core FFO should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using Core FFO only as a supplemental measure.

Portfolio Net Operating Income and Same Center NOI

We present portfolio net operating income (“Portfolio NOI”) and same center net operating income (“Same Center NOI”) as supplemental measures of our operating performance. Portfolio NOI represents our property level net operating income, which is defined as total operating revenues less property operating expenses and excludes termination fees and non-cash adjustments including straight-line rent, net above and below market rent amortization, impairment charges, loss on early extinguishment of debt, and gains or losses on the sale of assets recognized during the periods presented. We define Same Center NOI as Portfolio NOI for the properties that were operational for the entire portion of both comparable reporting periods, and which were not acquired, or subject to a material expansion or non-recurring event, such as a natural disaster, during the comparable reporting periods.

We believe Portfolio NOI and Same Center NOI are non-GAAP metrics used by industry analysts, investors and management to measure the operating performance of our properties because they provide performance measures directly related to the revenues and expenses involved in owning and operating real estate assets and provide a perspective not immediately apparent from net income (loss), FFO or Core FFO. Because Same Center NOI excludes properties developed, redeveloped, acquired and sold; as well as non-cash adjustments, gains or losses on the sale of outparcels and termination rents; it highlights operating trends such as occupancy levels, rental rates and operating costs on properties that were operational for both comparable periods. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating Portfolio NOI and Same Center NOI, and accordingly, our Portfolio NOI and Same Center NOI may not be comparable to other REITs.

Portfolio NOI and Same Center NOI should not be considered alternatives to net income (loss) or as an indicator of our financial performance since they do not reflect the entire operations of our portfolio, nor do they reflect the impact of general and administrative expenses, acquisition-related expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization costs, other non-property income and losses, the level of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, or trends in development and construction activities which are significant economic costs and activities that could materially impact our results from operations. Because of these limitations, Portfolio NOI and Same Center NOI should not be viewed in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using Portfolio NOI and Same Center NOI only as supplemental measures.

Adjusted EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre

We present Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) as adjusted for items described below (“Adjusted EBITDA”), EBITDA for Real Estate (“EBITDAre”) and Adjusted EBITDAre, all non-GAAP measures, as supplemental measures of our operating performance. Each of these measures is defined as follows:
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income computed in accordance with GAAP before net interest expense, income taxes (if applicable), depreciation and amortization, gains and losses on sale of operating properties, joint venture properties, outparcels and other assets, impairment write-downs of depreciated property and of investment in unconsolidated joint ventures caused by a decrease in value of depreciated property in the affiliate, compensation related adjustments, casualty gains and losses, gains and losses on early extinguishment of debt, net and other items that we do not consider indicative of the Company's ongoing operating performance.
We determine EBITDAre based on the definition set forth by Nareit, which is defined as net income computed in accordance with GAAP before net interest expense, income taxes (if applicable), depreciation and amortization, gains and losses on sale of operating properties, gains and losses on change of control and impairment write-downs of depreciated property and of investment in unconsolidated joint ventures caused by a decrease in value of depreciated property in the affiliate and after adjustments to reflect our share of the EBITDAre of unconsolidated joint ventures.
66



Adjusted EBITDAre is defined as EBITDAre excluding gains and losses on early extinguishment of debt, net, casualty gains and losses, compensation related adjustments, gains and losses on sale of outparcels, and other items that that we do not consider indicative of the Company's ongoing operating performance.
We present Adjusted EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre as we believe they are useful for investors, creditors and rating agencies as they provide additional performance measures that are independent of a Company’s existing capital structure to facilitate the evaluation and comparison of the Company’s operating performance to other REITs and provide a more consistent metric for comparing the operating performance of the Company’s real estate between periods.
Adjusted EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre have significant limitations as analytical tools, including:
They do not reflect our net interest expense;

They do not reflect gains or losses on sales of operating properties or impairment write-downs of depreciated property and of investment in unconsolidated joint ventures caused by a decrease in value of depreciated property in the affiliate;

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAre do not reflect gains and losses on extinguishment of debt and other items that may affect operations; and

Other companies in our industry may calculate these measures differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using Adjusted EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre only as supplemental measures.

Economic Conditions and Outlook

We are closely monitoring the impact of supply chain and labor issues, inflationary and deflationary pressures, changes in interest rates and the overall macroeconomic environment on all aspects of our business and geographies, including how it will impact our tenants and business partners.

The majority of our leases contain provisions designed to mitigate the impact of inflation. Such provisions include clauses for the escalation of base rent and clauses enabling us to receive percentage rentals based on tenants’ gross sales (above predetermined levels), which generally increase as prices rise. A component of most leases includes a pro-rata share or escalating fixed contributions by the tenant for property operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes, insurance and advertising and promotion, thereby reducing exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation.

A portion of our rental revenues are derived from rents that directly depend on the sales volume of certain tenants. Accordingly, declines in these tenants’ sales would reduce the income produced by our properties. If the sales or profitability of our retail tenants decline sufficiently, whether due to a change in consumer preferences, health concerns, legislative changes that increase the cost of their operations or otherwise, such tenants may be unable to pay their existing rents as such rents would represent a higher percentage of their sales.

68



In addition, certain of our lease agreements include co-tenancy and/or sales-based provisions that may allow a tenant to pay reduced rent and/or terminate a lease prior to its natural expiration if we fail to maintain certain occupancy levels or retain specified named tenants, or if the tenant does not achieve certain specified sales targets. If our occupancy declines, certain centers may fall below the minimum co-tenancy thresholds and could trigger many tenants' contractual ability to pay reduced rents, which in turn may negatively impact our results of operations. Our occupancy at our consolidated centers was 97% at the end of the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Our centers typically include well-known, national, branded companies. By maintaining a broad base of well-known tenants and a geographically diverse portfolio of properties located across the United States, we believe we reduce our operating and leasing risks. During the year ended December 31, 2023, no one tenant (including affiliates) accounted for more than 8% of our square feet or 6% of our rental revenues.

Due to the relatively short-term nature of our tenants’ leases, a significant portion of the leases in our portfolio come up for renewal each year. During 2024, approximately 2.6 million square feet, or 19% to the total portfolio including our share of unconsolidated joint ventures, will come up for renewal. For the total portfolio, including the Company’s pro rata share of unconsolidated joint ventures, as of January 31, 2024, we had lease renewals executed or in process for 23.8% of the space scheduled to expire during 2024 compared to 41.0% of the space scheduled to expire during 2023 that was executed or in process as of January 31, 2022. As of January 31, 2024, we had lease renewals executed or in process for approximately 93.0% of the space that came up for renewal in 2023.

We believe retail real estate will continue to be a profitable and fundamental distribution channel for many brands and retailers. While we continue to attract and retain additional tenants, if we were unable to successfully renew or re-lease a significant amount of this space on favorable economic terms or in a timely manner, the loss in rent and our Same Center NOI could be negatively impacted in future periods. Occupancy at our consolidated centers was 97.3% and 96.9% as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.


ITEM 7A.     QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market Risk

We are exposed to various market risks, including changes in interest rates. Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates.

Interest Rate Risk

We may periodically enter into certain interest rate protection and interest rate swap agreements to effectively convert existing floating rate debt to a fixed rate basis. We do not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. As of December 31, 2023, we had interest rate swap agreements to fix the interest rates on outstanding debt with notional amounts totaling $300.0 million, which expired on February 1, 2024. Over the course of 2023, we entered into $325.0 million of new forward starting interest rate swap agreements that became effective on February 1, 2024, replacing the aforementioned swaps as part of our interest rate risk management strategy. See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details related to our outstanding derivatives.

As of December 31, 2023, 6% of our outstanding consolidated debt, excluding the amount of variable rate debt with interest rate protection agreements in place, had variable interest rates and therefore was subject to market fluctuations. A change in the SOFR index of 100 basis points would result in an increase or decrease of approximately $897,000 in interest expense on an annual basis.

The interest rate spreads associated with our unsecured lines of credit and our unsecured term loan are based on the higher of our three investment grade credit ratings. As of December 31, 2023, we had $13.0 million of outstanding balances under our unsecured lines of credit. An upgrade or downgrade to our credit rating could decrease or increase, respectively, our interest expense depending on the level of change.


69



The information presented herein is merely an estimate and has limited predictive value. As a result, the ultimate effect upon our operating results of interest rate fluctuations will depend on the interest rate exposures that arise during the period, our hedging strategies at that time and future changes in the level of interest rates.
The estimated fair value and recorded value of our debt consisting of senior unsecured notes, unsecured term loans, secured mortgages and unsecured lines of credit was as follows (in thousands):
December 31, 2023December 31, 2022
Fair value of debt$1,319,700 $1,268,362 
Recorded value of debt$1,439,203 $1,428,494 

A 100 basis point increase from prevailing interest rates at December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 would result in a decrease in fair value of total consolidated debt of approximately $40.1 million and $44.3 million, respectively. Refer to Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements for a description of our methodology in calculating the estimated fair value of debt. Considerable judgment is necessary to develop estimated fair values of financial instruments. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts we could realize on the disposition of the financial instruments.

Foreign Currency Risk

We are also exposed to foreign currency risk on investments in centers that are located in Canada. Our currency exposure is concentrated in the Canadian Dollar. To mitigate some of the risk related to changes in foreign currency, cash flows received from our Canadian joint ventures are either reinvested to fund ongoing Canadian development activities, if applicable, or converted to US dollars and utilized to repay amounts outstanding under our unsecured lines of credit, if any. Accordingly, cash held in Canadian Dollars at any point in time is insignificant. We generally do not hedge currency translation exposures.

ITEM 9.CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

Not applicable.

ITEM 9A.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Tanger Inc.

(a)Evaluation of disclosure control procedures.

The President and Chief Executive Officer, Stephen J. Yalof (Principal Executive Officer), and Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Investment Officer, Michael J. Bilerman (Principal Financial Officer), evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures and concluded that, as of December 31, 2023, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that the information the Company is required to disclose in its filings with the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b)Management's report on internal control over financial reporting.

Internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company's Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the Company's board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company's management, with the participation of the Company's Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining policies and procedures designed to maintain the adequacy of the Company's internal control over financial reporting, including those policies and procedures that:

(1)Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;

(2)Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and

(3)Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

The Company's management has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023 based on the criteria established in a report entitled Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013), issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our assessment and those criteria, the Company's management has concluded that the Company's internal control over financial reporting was effective at the reasonable assurance level as of December 31, 2023.

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

The effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023 has been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears herein.

(c)There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that occurred during our last fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Tanger Properties Limited Partnership

(a)Evaluation of disclosure control procedures.

The President and Chief Executive Officer, Stephen J. Yalof (Principal Executive Officer), and Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Investment Officer, Michael J. Bilerman (Principal Financial Officer) of Tanger Inc., the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, evaluated the effectiveness of the Operating Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(c) and 15d-15(e) and concluded that, as of December 31, 2023, the Operating Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures were effective.




71



(b)Management's report on internal control over financial reporting.

Internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer of the Operating Partnership's general partner, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the general partner's board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Management, with the participation of the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer of the general partner, is responsible for establishing and maintaining policies and procedures designed to maintain the adequacy of the Operating Partnership's internal control over financial reporting, including those policies and procedures that:

(1)Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Operating Partnership;

(2)Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Operating Partnership are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the board of directors of Tanger Inc., as the Operating Partnership's sole general partner; and

(3)Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Operating Partnership's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Management has evaluated the effectiveness of the Operating Partnership's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023 based on the criteria established in a report entitled Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013), issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our assessment and those criteria, management has concluded that the Operating Partnership's internal control over financial reporting was effective at the reasonable assurance level as of December 31, 2023.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.

The information concerning the security ownership of certain beneficial owners and management required by this Item is incorporated by reference herein to the Company's Proxy Statement to be filed with respect to the Company's 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

The table below provides information as of December 31, 2023 with respect to compensation plans under which our equity securities are authorized for issuance. For each common share issued by the Company, the Operating Partnership issues one corresponding unit of limited partnership interest to the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries. Therefore, when the Company grants an equity based award, the Operating Partnership treats each award as having been granted by the Operating Partnership. In the discussion below, the term "we" refers to the Company and the Operating Partnership together and the term "common shares" is meant to also include corresponding units of the Operating Partnership.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of Tanger Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Tanger Inc. (formerly Tanger Factory Outlet Centers, Inc.) and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes and the schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a)(2) (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 21, 2024, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Basis for Opinion

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

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

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























F-1


Rental property, net - Impairment of Long-Lived Assets – Refer to Note 2 to the financial statements

Critical Audit Matter Description

Rental property held and used by the Company is reviewed for impairment in the event that facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In such event, the Company compares the estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset to the asset’s carrying amount, and if less than such carrying amount, recognizes an impairment loss in an amount by which the carrying amount exceeds its fair value. The cash flow estimates used both for determining recoverability and estimating fair value are inherently judgmental and reflect current and projected trends in rental, occupancy, capitalization, and discount rates, and estimated holding periods for the applicable assets.

Given the Company’s cash flow estimates used for determining recoverability require management to make significant estimates and assumptions related to current and projected trends in rental, occupancy, and capitalization rates, and estimated holding periods, performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s undiscounted future cash flows analysis required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort.

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

Our audit procedures related to the undiscounted future cash flows analysis and the assessment of expected remaining holding period included the following, among others:

We tested the effectiveness of controls over management’s evaluation of the recoverability of rental property assets, including the significant assumptions over net operating income, capitalization rates, and estimated holding periods.

We evaluated the undiscounted future cash flows analysis, including estimates of net operating income, capitalization rates, and estimated holding periods for certain rental property assets with impairment indicators by performing the following, where applicable:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of Tanger Inc.

Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Tanger Inc. (formerly Tanger Factory Outlet Centers, Inc.) and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, of the Company and our report dated February 21, 2024, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

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

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of Tanger Properties Limited Partnership

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Tanger Properties Limited Partnership and subsidiaries (the "Operating Partnership") as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes and the schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a)(2) (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Operating Partnership as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Operating Partnership's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 21, 2024, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Operating Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.

Basis for Opinion

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

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

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

Rental property, net - Impairment of Long-Lived Assets – Refer to Note 2 to the financial statements

Critical Audit Matter Description

Rental property held and used by the Operating Partnership is reviewed for impairment in the event that facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In such event, the Operating Partnership compares the estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset to the asset’s carrying amount, and if less than such carrying amount, recognizes an impairment loss in an amount by which the carrying amount exceeds its fair value. The cash flow estimates used both for determining recoverability and estimating fair value are inherently judgmental and reflect current and projected trends in rental, occupancy, capitalization, and discount rates, and estimated holding periods for the applicable assets.

Given the Operating Partnership’s cash flow estimates used for determining recoverability require management to make significant estimates and assumptions related to current and projected trends in rental, occupancy, and capitalization rates, and estimated holding periods, performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s undiscounted future cash flows analysis required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort.

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

Our audit procedures related to the undiscounted future cash flows analysis and the assessment of expected remaining holding period included the following, among others:

We tested the effectiveness of controls over management’s evaluation of the recoverability of rental property assets, including the significant assumptions over net operating income, capitalization rates, and estimated holding periods.

We evaluated the undiscounted future cash flows analysis, including estimates of net operating income, capitalization rates, and estimated holding periods for certain rental property assets with impairment indicators by performing the following, where applicable:

We evaluated management’s cash flow projections by comparing to the Operating Partnership’s historical results and considered the impact of leasing activity.

We evaluated capitalization rates by comparing to external market sources.

We evaluated management’s estimated holding period by comparing to historical holding periods for assets sold in recent years, reviewing board minutes, and conducting inquiries of management, leasing personnel, and others outside of the accounting department.

We tested the mathematical accuracy of the undiscounted future cash flows analysis.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF
TANGER INC. AND
TANGER PROPERTIES LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

1.Organization of the Company

Tanger Inc. and its subsidiaries, which we refer to as the Company, is one of the leading owners and operators of outlet and open-air shopping centers in the United States and Canada. We are a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust ("REIT") which, through our controlling interest in Tanger Properties Limited Partnership and its subsidiaries, which we refer to as the Operating Partnership, focuses on developing, acquiring, owning, operating and managing retail centers. As of December 31, 2023, we owned and operated 31 consolidated centers and one open-air lifestyle center, with a total gross leasable area of approximately 12.7 million square feet. All references to gross leasable area, square feet, occupancy, stores and store brands contained in the notes to the consolidated financial statements are unaudited. These centers were 97% occupied and contained over 2,400 stores, representing approximately 660 store brands. We also had partial ownership interests in 6 unconsolidated centers totaling approximately 2.1 million square feet, including 2 centers in Canada. The portfolio also includes two managed centers. Each of our centers, except one joint venture center, features the Tanger brand name.

Our centers and other assets are held by, and all of our operations are conducted by the Operating Partnership. Accordingly, the descriptions of our business, employees and assets are also descriptions of the business, employees and assets of the Operating Partnership. Unless the context indicates otherwise, the term “Company” refers to Tanger Inc. and subsidiaries and the term “Operating Partnership” refers to Tanger Properties Limited Partnership and subsidiaries. The terms “we”, “our” and “us” refer to the Company or the Company and the Operating Partnership together, as the text requires. On November 16, 2023, we changed our legal name from Tanger Factory Outlet Centers, Inc. to Tanger Inc. We refer to Tanger Inc.’s current legal name throughout this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

In November 2021, the Company was admitted as the sole General Partner of the Operating Partnership. Prior to this administrative change, the Company owned the majority of the units of partnership interest issued by the Operating Partnership through its two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Tanger GP Trust and Tanger LP Trust. Tanger GP Trust controlled the Operating Partnership as its sole general partner and Tanger LP Trust held a limited partnership interest therein. Following the aforementioned change to the ownership structure, the Company has replaced Tanger GP Trust as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and Tanger LP Trust retains its limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership.

The Company, including its wholly-owned subsidiary, Tanger LP Trust, owns the majority of the units of partnership interest issued by the Operating Partnership. As of December 31, 2023, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries owned 108,793,251 units of the Operating Partnership and other limited partners (the "Non-Company LPs") collectively owned 4,707,958 Class A common limited partnership units. Each Class A common limited partnership unit held by the Non-Company LPs is exchangeable for one of the Company's common shares, subject to certain limitations to preserve the Company's status as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Class B common limited partnership units, which are held by Tanger LP Trust, are not exchangeable for common shares of the Company.

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements of the Company include its accounts and its consolidated subsidiaries, as well as the Operating Partnership and its consolidated subsidiaries. The consolidated financial statements of the Operating Partnership include its accounts and its consolidated subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company currently consolidates the Operating Partnership because it has (1) the power to direct the activities of the Operating Partnership that most significantly impact the Operating Partnership’s economic performance and (2) the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive the residual returns of the Operating Partnership that could be potentially significant.

F-19


We consolidate properties that are wholly-owned or properties where we own less than 100% but control such properties. Control is determined using an evaluation based on accounting standards related to the consolidation of voting interest entities and variable interest entities ("VIE"). For joint ventures that are determined to be a VIE, we consolidate the entity where we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary. Determination of the primary beneficiary is based on whether an entity has (1) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance, and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Our determination of the primary beneficiary considers various factors including the form of our ownership interest, our representation in an entity's governance, the size of our investment, our ability to participate in policy making decisions and the rights of the other investors to participate in the decision making process to replace us as manager and or liquidate the venture, if applicable. As of December 31, 2023, we did not have a joint venture that was a VIE.

Investments in real estate joint ventures that we do not control but may exercise significant influence on are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. These investments are recorded initially at cost and subsequently adjusted for our equity in the venture's net income or loss, cash contributions, distributions and other adjustments required under the equity method of accounting.

For certain of these investments, we record our equity in the venture's net income or loss under the hypothetical liquidation at book value (“HLBV”) method of accounting due to the structures and the preferences we receive on the distributions from our joint ventures pursuant to the respective joint venture agreements. Under this method, we recognize income and loss in each period based on the change in liquidation proceeds we would receive from a hypothetical liquidation of our investment based on depreciated book value. Therefore, income or loss may be allocated disproportionately as compared to the ownership percentages due to specified preferred return rate thresholds and may be more or less than actual cash distributions received and more or less than what we may receive in the event of an actual liquidation. In the event a basis difference is created between our underlying interest in the venture’s net assets and our initial investment, we amortize such amount over the estimated life of the venture as a component of equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures.

We separately report investments in joint ventures for which accumulated distributions have exceeded investments in, and our share of net income or loss of, the joint ventures within other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets because we are committed and intend to provide further financial support to these joint ventures. The carrying amount of our investments in the Charlotte, Columbus, Galveston/Houston and National Harbor joint ventures are less than zero because of financing or operating distributions that were greater than net income, as net income includes non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization.

Noncontrolling interests - In the Company's consolidated financial statements, the “Noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership” reflects the Non-Company LP's percentage ownership of the Operating Partnership's units. "Noncontrolling interests in other consolidated partnerships" consist of outside equity interests in partnerships or joint ventures not wholly-owned by the Company or the Operating Partnership that are consolidated with the financial results of the Company and Operating Partnership because the Operating Partnership exercises control over the entities that own the properties. Noncontrolling interests are initially recorded in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value based upon purchase price allocations. Income or losses are allocated to the noncontrolling interests based on the allocation provisions within the partnership or joint venture agreements.

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, as well as 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. Estimates are used in the calculations of impairment losses, costs capitalized to originate operating leases, costs incurred for the construction and development of properties, and the values of deferred lease costs and other intangibles related to the acquisition of properties. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Operating Segments - We focus on developing, acquiring, owning, operating, and managing shopping centers. We aggregate the financial information of all centers into one reportable operating segment because the centers all have similar economic characteristics and provide similar products and services to similar types and classes of customers and tenants.
F-20


Rental Properties - Rental properties are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Buildings, improvements and fixtures consist primarily of permanent buildings and improvements made to land such as infrastructure and costs incurred in providing rental space to tenants.

The pre-construction stage of project development involves certain costs to secure land control and zoning and complete other initial tasks essential to the development of the project. These costs are transferred from other assets to construction in progress when the pre-construction tasks are completed. Costs of unsuccessful pre-construction efforts are expensed when the project is no longer probable and, if significant, are recorded as abandoned pre-development costs in the consolidated statement of operations.

We also capitalize other costs incurred for the construction and development of properties, including interest, real estate taxes and payroll and related costs associated with employees directly involved. Capitalization of costs commences at the time the development of the property becomes probable and ceases when the property is substantially completed and ready for its intended use. We consider a construction project as substantially completed and ready for its intended use upon the completion of tenant improvements. We cease capitalization on the portion that is substantially completed and occupied or held available for occupancy, and capitalize only those costs associated with the portion under construction. The amount of payroll and related costs capitalized for the construction and development of properties is based on our estimate of the amount of costs directly related to the construction or development of these assets.

Interest costs are capitalized during periods of active construction for qualified expenditures based upon interest rates in place during the construction period until construction is substantially complete. This includes interest incurred on funds invested in or advanced to unconsolidated joint ventures for qualifying development activities until placed in service.

Payroll and related costs and interest costs capitalized for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 were as follows (in thousands):
202320222021
Payroll and related costs capitalized$3,843 $2,924 $1,526 
Interest costs capitalized$2,509 $862 $ 

Depreciation is computed on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. We generally use estimated lives of 33 years for buildings and improvements, 15 years for land improvements and 7 years for equipment. Tenant finishing allowances are amortized over the life of the associated lease. Capitalized interest costs are amortized over lives which are consistent with the constructed assets. Expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred while significant renovations and improvements which improve and/or extend the useful life of the asset are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful life. In accordance with our policy, we review the estimated useful lives of our fixed assets on an ongoing basis. During the year ended 2022, this review indicated that the actual lives of our solar assets were shorter than the estimated useful lives used for depreciation purposes in the our financial statements. As a result, we changed our useful lives of our solar assets to better reflect the estimated periods during which these assets will remain in service. The estimated useful lives of these assets that previously averaged 20 years were decreased to an average of ten years. The effect of this change in estimate was to increase 2022 depreciation expense by $4.4 million, decrease net income by $4.4 million, and decrease basic and diluted earnings per share by $0.04.

Depreciation expense related to rental property included in net income for each of the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 was as follows (in thousands):
202320222021
Depreciation expense related to rental property$97,636 $97,916 $96,990 

F-21


We allocate the purchase price of asset acquisitions based on the fair value of land, building, tenant improvements, debt and deferred lease costs and other intangibles, such as the value of leases with above or below market rents, origination costs associated with the in-place leases, the value of in-place leases and tenant relationships, if any. We depreciate the amount allocated to building, deferred lease costs and other intangible assets over their estimated useful lives, which range up to 33 years. The values of the above and below market leases are amortized and recorded as either an increase (in the case of below market leases) or a decrease (in the case of above market leases) to rental income over the remaining term of the associated lease. The values of below market leases that are considered to have renewal periods with below market rents are amortized over the remaining term of the associated lease plus the renewal periods when the renewal is deemed probable to occur. The value associated with in-place leases is amortized over the remaining lease term and tenant relationships are amortized over the expected term, which includes an estimated probability of the lease renewal. If a tenant terminates its lease prior to the contractual termination of the lease and no rental payments are being made on the lease, any unamortized balance of the related intangibles is written off. The tenant improvements and origination costs are amortized as an expense over the remaining life of the lease (or charged against earnings if the lease is terminated prior to its contractual expiration date). We assess fair value based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount and capitalization rates and available market information. These cash flow projections may be derived from various observable and unobservable inputs and assumptions. Also, we may utilize third-party valuation specialists. As a part of acquisition accounting, the amount by which the fair value of our previously held equity method investment exceeds the carrying book value is recorded as a gain on previously held interest in acquired joint venture.

Cash and Cash Equivalents - All highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents. Cash balances at a limited number of banks may periodically exceed insurable amounts. We believe that we mitigate our risk by investing in or through major financial institutions.

Short-term Investments - Investments with an original maturity of greater than three months and less than one year from the date of purchase are considered short-term investments and are stated at fair value. Interest on our short-term investments is recognized as interest income in our Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Deferred Charges - Deferred charges include deferred lease costs and other intangible assets consisting of fees and costs incurred to originate operating leases and are amortized over the expected lease term. Deferred lease costs capitalized, including amounts paid to third-party brokers and internal leasing costs for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 were as follows (in thousands):
202320222021
Deferred lease costs capitalized- payroll and related costs $1,696 $1,338 $1,233 
Total deferred lease costs capitalized$3,101 $2,570 $5,115 

Deferred financing costs - Deferred financing costs include fees and costs incurred to obtain long-term financing and are amortized over the terms of the respective loans on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method. Deferred financing costs are presented in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as a direct deduction of the carrying amount of the related debt liability, except those incurred under a revolving-debt arrangement, which are presented as a component of other assets. Upon repayment, or in conjunction with a material change in the terms of the underlying debt agreement, remaining unamortized costs are written off as a component of net interest expense. Amortization of deferred financing costs is included as a component of net interest expense. See Note 9.

Captive Insurance - We have a wholly-owned captive insurance company that is responsible for losses up to certain deductible levels per occurrence for property damage (including wind damage from hurricanes) prior to third-party insurance coverage. Insurance losses are reflected in property operating expenses and include estimates of costs incurred, both reported and unreported.
F-22


Impairment of Long-Lived Assets - Rental property held and used by us is reviewed for impairment in the event that facts and circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In such an event, we compare the estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset to the asset's carrying amount, and if less than such carrying amount, recognize an impairment loss in an amount by which the carrying amount exceeds its fair value. The cash flow estimates used both for determining recoverability and estimating fair value are inherently judgmental and reflect current and projected trends in rental, occupancy, capitalization, and discount rates, and estimated holding periods for the applicable assets. The estimated fair value is based primarily on the income approach. The income approach involves discounting the estimated income stream and reversion (presumed sale) value of a property over an estimated holding period to a present value at a risk-adjusted rate. Discount rates and terminal capitalization rates utilized in this approach are derived from property-specific information, market transactions and other financial and industry data.

If our expected holding periods for assets change, subsequent tests for impairment could result in additional impairment charges in the future. For example, the Foxwoods center, which is part of a casino property, continues to face leasing challenges that could lead to further declines in occupancy, rental revenues and cash flows in the future. Such challenges, or a change in our expected holding period, could result in additional impairment charges recognized for the Foxwoods property. In addition, one of our centers has an estimated fair value less than its recorded carrying value of approximately $111.1 million. We continue to monitor facts and circumstances and events in future periods that could affect inputs such as the expected holding period, operating cash flow forecasts and capitalization rates, utilized to determine whether an impairment charge is necessary. We can provide no assurance that material impairment charges with respect to our properties will not occur in future periods.

Rental Properties Held For Sale - Rental properties designated as held for sale are stated at the lower of their carrying value or their fair value less costs to sell. We classify rental property as held for sale when our Board of Directors (the "Board") approves the sale of the assets and it meets the requirements of current accounting guidance. Subsequent to this classification, no further depreciation is recorded on the assets.

Impairment of Joint Venture Investments - On a periodic basis or if circumstances exist, we assess whether there are any indicators that the value of our 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 investments, and such decline in value is deemed to be other than temporary. To the extent an other than temporary impairment has occurred, the loss shall be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the investment over the value of the investment. Our estimates of value for each joint venture investment are based on a number of assumptions that are subject to economic and market uncertainties including, among others, estimated hold period, demand for space, competition for tenants, discount and capitalization rates, changes in market rental rates and operating costs of the property. As these factors are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter our assumptions, the values estimated by us in our impairment analysis may not be realized.

Sales of Real Estate - For sales of real estate where we have consideration to which we are entitled in exchange for transferring the real estate, the related assets and liabilities are removed from the balance sheet and the resultant gain or loss is recorded in the period the transaction closes. Any post sale involvement is accounted for as separate performance obligations and when the separate performance obligations are satisfied, the sales price allocated to each is recognized.

For transactions that do not meet the criteria for a sale, we evaluate the nature of the continuing involvement, including put and call provisions, if present, and account for the transaction as a financing arrangement, profit-sharing arrangement, leasing arrangement or other alternate method of accounting, rather than as a sale, based on the nature and extent of the continuing involvement. Some transactions may have numerous forms of continuing involvement. In those cases, we determine which method is most appropriate based on the substance of the transaction.

Discontinued Operations - Properties that are sold or classified as held for sale are classified as discontinued operations provided that the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on our operations and financial results (e.g., a disposal of a major geographical area, a major line of business, a major equity method investment or other major parts of an entity).

F-23


Derivatives - We selectively enter into interest rate protection agreements to mitigate the impact of changes in interest rates on our variable rate borrowings. The notional amounts of such agreements are used to measure the interest to be paid or received and do not represent the amount of exposure to loss. None of these agreements are used for speculative or trading purposes.

We recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets and measure those instruments at their fair value. We formally document our derivative transactions, including identifying the hedge instruments and hedged items, as well as our risk management objectives and strategies for entering into the hedge transaction.

Income Taxes - We operate in a manner intended to enable the Company to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code. A REIT which distributes at least 90% of its taxable income to its shareholders each year and which meets certain other conditions is not taxed on that portion of its taxable income which is distributed to its shareholders. We intend to continue to qualify as a REIT and to distribute substantially all of the Company's taxable income to its shareholders. Accordingly, no provision has been made in the Company's consolidated financial statements for U.S. federal income taxes. As a partnership, the allocated share of income or loss for the year with respect to the Operating Partnership is included in the income tax returns for the partners; accordingly, no provision has been made for U.S. federal income taxes in the Operating Partnership's consolidated financial statements. In addition, we continue to evaluate uncertain tax positions. The tax years 2019 through 2022 remain open to examination by the major tax jurisdictions to which we are subject.

With regard to the Company's unconsolidated Canadian joint ventures, deferred tax assets result principally from depreciation deducted under GAAP that exceed capital cost allowances claimed under Canadian tax rules. A valuation allowance is provided if we believe all or some portion of the deferred tax asset may not be realized. We have determined that a full valuation allowance is required as we believe it is not probable that the deferred tax assets will be realized.

For income tax purposes, distributions paid to the Company's common shareholders consist of ordinary income, capital gains, return of capital or a combination thereof. Dividends per share for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 were taxable as follows:

Revenue Recognition - As a lessor, substantially all of our revenues are earned from arrangements that are within the scope of ASC 842. We utilized the practical expedient in Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2018-11 to account for lease and non-lease components as a single component which resulted in all of our revenues associated with leases being recorded as rental revenues in the consolidated statements of operations. Base rentals are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Tenant expense reimbursements are recognized in the period the applicable expenses are incurred. As a result of combining all components of a lease, all fixed contractual payments, including consideration received from certain executory costs, are now recognized on a straight-line basis. Straight-line rent adjustments are recorded as a receivable in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Common area maintenance expense reimbursements are based on the tenant's proportionate share of the allocable operating expenses for the property.

As a provision of a tenant lease, if we make a cash payment to the tenant for purposes other than funding the construction of landlord assets, we defer the amount of such payments as a lease incentive. We amortize lease incentives as a reduction of base rental revenue over the term of the lease. The majority of our leases contain provisions that provide additional rents based on tenants' sales volume (“percentage rentals”) and reimbursement of the tenants' share of advertising and promotion, common area maintenance, insurance and real estate tax expenses. Percentage rentals are recognized when specified targets that trigger the contingent rent are met. Payments received from the early termination of leases are recognized as revenue from the time the payment is receivable until the tenant vacates the space.

The values of the above and below market leases are amortized and recorded as either an increase (in the case of below market leases) or a decrease (in the case of above market leases) to rental income over the remaining term of the associated lease. If a tenant terminates its lease prior to the original contractual termination of the lease and no rental payments are being made on the lease, any unamortized balance of the related above or below market lease value will be written off.

We receive development, leasing, loan guarantee, management and marketing fees from third parties and unconsolidated affiliates for services provided to properties held in joint ventures and managed properties. Development and leasing fees received from unconsolidated affiliates are recognized as revenue when earned to the extent of the third party partners' ownership interest. Development and leasing fees earned to the extent of our ownership interest are recorded as a reduction to our investment in the unconsolidated affiliate. Loan guarantee fees are recognized over the term of the guarantee. Management fees and marketing fees are recognized as revenue when earned. Fees recognized from these activities are shown as management, leasing and other services in our consolidated statements of operations. Our share of fees received from consolidated joint ventures are eliminated in consolidation. Expense reimbursements from unconsolidated joint ventures are recognized in the period the applicable expenses are incurred.

Operating Lease Receivable - Our accounts receivable from tenants, which is recorded in prepaids and other assets on the consolidated balance sheets, has increased from approximately $8.6 million at December 31, 2022 to approximately $8.9 million at December 31, 2023. Straight-line rent adjustments recorded as a receivable in prepaid and other assets on the consolidated balance sheets were approximately $48.9 million and $51.1 million as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Individual leases are assessed for collectability and upon the determination that the collection of rents is not probable, accrued rent and accounts receivable are written off as an adjustment to rental revenue. Revenue from leases where collection is deemed to be less than probable is recorded on a cash basis until collectability is determined to be probable. Further, we assess whether operating lease receivables, at a portfolio level, are appropriately valued based upon an analysis of balances outstanding, historical bad debt levels and current economic trends including discussions with tenants for potential lease amendments. Our estimate of the collectability of accrued rents and accounts receivable is based on the best information available to us at the time of preparing the financial statements.

Concentration of Credit Risk - We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our tenants. Although the tenants operate principally in the retail industry, the properties are geographically diverse. No single tenant accounted for 10% or more of combined base and percentage rental revenues or gross leasable area during 2023, 2022 or 2021.

Supplemental Cash Flow Information - We purchase capital equipment and incur costs relating to construction of new facilities, including tenant finishing allowances.

Accounting for Equity-Based Compensation - We have a shareholder approved equity-based compensation plan, the Incentive Award Plan of Tanger Inc. and Tanger Properties Limited Partnership (Amended and Restated as of May 19, 2023) (the "Plan"), which covers our independent directors, officers and our employees. We may issue non-qualified options and other equity-based awards under the Plan. We account for our equity-based compensation plan under the fair value provisions of the relevant accounting guidance and we estimate expected forfeitures in determining compensation cost.

Foreign Currency Translation - We entered into a co-ownership agreement with RioCan Real Estate Investment Trust to develop and acquire centers in Canada for which the functional currency is the local currency. The assets and liabilities related to our investments in Canada are translated from their functional currency into U.S. Dollars at the rate of exchange in effect on the balance sheet date. Income statement accounts are translated using the average exchange rate for the period. Our share of unrealized gains and losses resulting from the translation of these financial statements are reflected in equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated balance sheets.

Recently issued accounting standards

On March 12, 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) - Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or other reference rates expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. This ASU was effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), which refined the scope of Topic 848 and clarified some of its guidance. Specifically, certain provisions in Topic 848, if elected by an entity, apply to derivative instruments that use an interest rate for margining, discounting, or contract price alignment that is modified as a result of reference rate reform. Amendments to the expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 capture the incremental consequences of the scope clarification and tailor the existing guidance to derivative instruments affected by the discounting transition. The amendments are effective immediately for all entities. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) - Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848, which defers the sunset date on the topic of reference rate reform from December 31, 2022, to December 31, 2024. An entity may elect to apply the amendments on a full retrospective basis. In October 2022, we elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. This was done as we modified all of our current interest rate derivative contracts, changing the indexes from LIBOR to Adjusted SOFR. We have and will continue to elect to apply practical expedients related to contract modifications, changes in critical terms, and updates to the designated hedged risk(s) as qualifying changes are made to applicable debt and derivative instruments. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives contracts consistent with past presentation. We continue to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply other applicable elections as additional changes in the market and with respect to our debt and derivative instruments occur.

On August 22, 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-05, an update to ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. ASU 2023-05 clarifies existing guidance by requiring a joint venture to recognize and initially measure assets contributed and liabilities assumed at fair value, upon its formation. These amendments are effective prospectively for all joint venture formations with a formation date on or after January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. We are evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-05 on our consolidated financial statements. We will apply the provisions of ASU 2023-05 to new joint ventures, as applicable, but do not believe the adoption of ASU 2023-05 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). ASU 2023-07 requires, among other updates, enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker. The ASU also clarifies that entities with a single reportable segment are subject to both new and existing reporting requirements under Topic 280. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and requires retrospective adoption. Early adoption is permitted. We are evaluating the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 updates income tax disclosures related to the rate reconciliation and requires disclosure of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The ASU also makes several other changes to income tax disclosure requirements. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The guidance should be applied prospectively; however, retrospective application is permitted. Early adoption is permitted. We are evaluating the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

3.    Rental Property Acquisitions

2023 Acquisitions

Asheville

In November 2023, we purchased Asheville Outlets in Asheville, North Carolina, a 382,000 square foot outlet center, for net purchase price of $70 million using cash. We accounted for the transaction as an asset acquisition and additionally capitalized approximately $295,000 in transaction costs once the acquisition was deemed probable.

Huntsville

In November 2023, we purchased Bridge Street Town Centre in Huntsville, Alabama, an 825,000 square foot lifestyle center (including approximately 174,000 square feet ground leased to tenants), for $193.5 million using cash, proceeds from our ATM Offering Program, and amounts available under our unsecured lines of credit. At closing, we received a $5.4 million credit for unpaid tenant allowances. We accounted for the transaction as an asset acquisition and additionally capitalized approximately $1.3 million in transaction costs once the acquisition was deemed probable.

The assets acquired were recorded at relative fair value as determined by management, with the assistance of third party valuation specialists, based on information available at the acquisition dates and on current assumptions as to future operations (See Note 2). The consideration transferred to complete these rental property acquisitions and the purchase price allocation amongst the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed was as follows:

Our investments in real estate joint ventures are reduced by the percentage of the profits earned for leasing and development services associated with our ownership interest in each joint venture. Our carrying value of investments in unconsolidated joint ventures differs from our share of the assets reported in the “Condensed Combined Balance Sheets - Unconsolidated Joint Ventures” shown below due to adjustments to the book basis, including intercompany profits on sales of services that are capitalized by the unconsolidated joint ventures. The differences in bases (totaling $2.8 million and $3.2 million as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively) are amortized over the various useful lives of the related assets.

Charlotte

In July 2014, we opened an approximately 398,000 square foot center in Charlotte, North Carolina that was developed through, and is owned by, a joint venture formed in May 2013. In June 2018, the joint venture closed on a $100.0 million mortgage loan with a fixed interest rate of approximately 4.3% and a maturity date of July 2028. The proceeds from the loan were used to pay off the existing $90.0 million mortgage loan with an interest rate of LIBOR + 1.45%, which had an original maturity date of November 2018. The joint venture distributed the incremental net loan proceeds of $9.3 million equally to its partners. Our partner provides property management, marketing and leasing services to the joint venture.

Columbus

In June 2016, we opened an approximately 355,000 square foot center in Columbus, Ohio. The development was initially fully funded with equity contributed to the joint venture by the Company and its partner. In September 2022, the joint venture refinanced its mortgage. The $71.0 million non-recourse loan has a maturity date of October 2032 and a fixed interest rate of 6.25%. We provide property management, marketing and leasing services to the joint venture.

Galveston/Houston

In October 2012, we opened an approximately 353,000 square foot center in Texas City, Texas that was developed through, and is owned by, a joint venture formed in June 2011. In February 2021, the Galveston/Houston joint venture amended its mortgage loan to extend the maturity date to June 2023, which required a reduction in principal balance from $80.0 million to $64.5 million. The amendment also changed the interest rate from LIBOR + 1.65% to LIBOR + 1.85%. Each partner made a capital contribution of $7.0 million to fund the reduction in principal balance.

In June 2023, the joint venture completed the refinance of its mortgage, resulting in a reduction in principal balance from $64.5 million to $58.0 million. The new loan has a maturity date of June 2026 and an interest rate of Daily SOFR + 3.00%. In conjunction with this refinancing, the joint venture entered into a $29.0 million interest rate swap agreement that fixes Daily SOFR at 4.44% until December 2025. We provide property management, marketing and leasing services to the joint venture.
F-30


National Harbor

In November 2013, we opened an approximately 341,000 square foot center at National Harbor in the Washington, D.C. Metro area that was developed through, and is owned by, a joint venture formed in May 2011. In December 2018, the joint venture closed on a $95.0 million mortgage loan with a fixed interest rate of approximately 4.6% and a maturity date of January 2030. The proceeds from the loan were used to pay off the $87.0 million construction loan with an interest rate of LIBOR + 1.65%, which had an original maturity date of November 2019. The joint venture distributed the incremental net loan proceeds of $7.4 million equally to its partners. We provide property management, marketing and leasing services to the joint venture.

RioCan Canada

We have a 50/50 co-ownership agreement with RioCan Real Estate Investment Trust to operate and manage centers in Canada. We provide leasing and marketing services for the centers and RioCan provides development and property management services.

In October 2014, the co-owners opened Tanger Outlets Ottawa, the first ground up development of a Tanger Center in Canada. In 2016, the co-owners commenced construction on an approximately 39,000 square foot expansion, which opened during the second quarter of 2017 to bring the total square feet of the center to approximately 357,000. In November 2020, the RioCan joint venture closed on the sale of an outparcel located at Tanger Outlets Ottawa for net proceeds of approximately $5.5 million, at a gain of approximately $2.0 million. Our share of the net proceeds was approximately $2.8 million, and our share of the gain was approximately $1.0 million.
In addition, the RioCan Canada co-owners own Tanger Outlets Cookstown, which is approximately 308,000 square feet.

In March 2021, the joint venture closed on the sale of its approximately 116,000 square foot center in Saint-Sauveur, for net proceeds of approximately $9.4 million. Our share of the net proceeds was approximately $4.7 million. As a result of this transaction, we recorded a loss on the sale of $3.7 million. This includes a $3.6 million charge related to the foreign currency effect of the sale recorded in other income (expense), which had been previously recorded in other comprehensive income.

As of December 31, 2023, the syndicated line may be increased up to $1.2 billion through an accordion feature in certain circumstances.

The unsecured lines of credit and senior unsecured notes include covenants that require the maintenance of certain ratios, including debt service coverage and leverage, and limit the payment of dividends such that dividends and distributions will not exceed FFO, as defined in the agreements, for the prior fiscal year on an annual basis or 95% of FFO on a cumulative basis. As of December 31, 2023, we believe we were in compliance with all of our debt covenants.

In May 2023, Fitch Ratings assigned a first-time ‘BBB’ long-term issuer default rating to the Company and the Operating Partnership, along with a Stable rating outlook. Fitch also assigned a ‘BBB’ rating to Operating Partnership’s senior unsecured debt, which includes our lines of credit, a term loan and senior notes. As a result, the applicable pricing margin on each of our unsecured lines of credit and our term loan was reduced by 25 basis points (including a 5 basis point reduction in the facility fee on the unsecured lines of credit).

2022 Transactions

Memphis Consolidated Joint Venture
In October 2022, the Southaven, Mississippi joint venture amended and restated its secured term loan, increasing the outstanding balance to $51.7 million from $40.1 million, extending the maturity date from April 2023 to October 2026 plus a one year extension option, with an interest rate of Adjusted SOFR + 2.00%.

Unsecured Term Loan
In October 2022, we amended and restated our unsecured term loan. The outstanding balance was increased from $300.0 million to $325.0 million and the maturity date was extended to January 2027 plus a one-year extension option. The interest rate changed from LIBOR + 1.25% to Adjusted SOFR + 1.20% based on our credit rating at that time. The amendment also incorporates a sustainability metric, reducing the applicable grid-based interest rate spread by one basis point annually, subject to meeting certain thresholds.

Amendment of Unsecured Line of Credit
In October 2022, we amended our unsecured lines of credit to change the interest rate index from LIBOR to Adjusted SOFR. All other terms remained unchanged.

2021 Transactions

Unsecured term loan
In March 2021 and June 2021, we paid down a total of $50.0 million of borrowings under our $350.0 million unsecured term loan with cash on hand, reducing the outstanding balance to $300.0 million as of December 31, 2023.

Redemption of the 2023 and 2024 Senior Notes and public offering of aggregate $400.0 Million Unsecured Senior Notes due 2031
In April 2021, we completed a partial redemption of $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of our $250.0 million 3.875% senior notes due December 2023, for $163.0 million in cash, which includes a make-whole premium of $13.0 million and the write-off of approximately $1.0 million of debt discount and debt origination costs. The make-whole premium and the write-off of debt discount and debt origination costs was recorded as a loss on early extinguishment of debt within the consolidated statements of operations. Subsequent to this redemption, $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of the senior notes remained outstanding, until the redemption in August 2021, described below.

In August 2021, we completed a public offering of $400.0 million in senior notes due 2031. The senior notes were priced at 98.552% of the principal amount to yield 2.917% to maturity. The senior notes pay interest semi-annually at a rate of 2.750% per annum and mature on September 1, 2031. The aggregate net proceeds from the offering, after deducting the underwriting discount and offering expenses, were approximately $390.7 million. We used the net proceeds from the sale of the senior notes to redeem all remaining 3.875% senior notes due 2023, $100.0 million in aggregate principal amount outstanding, and all 3.750% senior notes due 2024, $250.0 million in aggregate principal outstanding. The redemptions occurred in September 2021 and included a make-whole premium of $31.9 million and the write-off of approximately $1.9 million of debt discount and debt origination costs. The make-whole premium and the write-off of debt discount and origination costs was recorded as a loss on early extinguishment of debt within the consolidated statements of operations. The remaining net proceeds were used for general corporate purposes.






F-35


Unsecured Lines of Credit Extension
In July 2021, we amended our unsecured lines of credit and extended the maturity date from October 2021 to July 2025, which may be extended by an additional year by exercising two six-month extension options. The amendment eliminated the LIBOR floor, which was previously 0.25%, and entitles us to a one basis point annual reduction in the interest rate if we meet certain sustainability thresholds. Other pricing terms remained the same. The lines provide for borrowings of up to $520.0 million, including a $20.0 million liquidity line and a $500.0 million syndicated line. A 0.20% facility fee is due annually on the entire committed amount of each facility. In certain circumstances, total line capacity may be increased to $1.2 billion through an accordion feature in the syndicated line.

Atlantic City Mortgage
During 2021, we completed the principal payments of certain mortgage notes secured by the Atlantic City property with stated interest rates that ranged from 5.14% to 6.27% and which were scheduled to mature in 2021. The effective interest rate for the remaining notes remains 5.05% as established upon acquisition. The stated rates for the remaining secured notes ranged from 6.44% to 7.65% with maturity dates between December 2024 and December 2026.

Southaven Mortgage
In October 2021, the joint venture that owns the Southaven, Mississippi center exercised its option to extend the maturity of the Southaven, Mississippi mortgage to April 2023 and paid down the principal balance by $11.3 million to $40.1 million. The interest rate remained LIBOR + 1.80%. The center is consolidated for financial reporting purposes and we funded the entire $11.3 million.

11.    Fair Value Measurements

Fair value guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers are defined as follows:
TierDescription
Level 1Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets
Level 2Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable
Level 3Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions

Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis

The following table sets forth our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value within the fair value hierarchy (in thousands):

Fair values of interest rate swaps are approximated using Level 2 inputs based on current market data received from financial sources that trade such instruments and are based on prevailing market data and derived from third party proprietary models based on well recognized financial principles including counterparty risks, credit spreads and interest rate projections, as well as reasonable estimates about relevant future market conditions.

Fair Value Measurements on a Nonrecurring Basis

Foxwoods Impairments

During the fourth quarter of 2021, due to a decrease in the estimated hold period and declining operating results, we recorded an additional impairment charge of $7.0 million in our consolidated statement of operations which equaled the excess of the carrying value of our Foxwoods outlet center over its estimated fair value. The estimated fair value was based on the income approach.

Discount rates and terminal capitalization rates utilized in the approach above were derived from property-specific information, market transactions and other financial and industry data. The terminal capitalization rate and discount rate are significant unobservable inputs in determining the fair value. These inputs are classified under Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy above. Our assumptions during our asset impairment reviews during 2023 remained consistent. Should the significant assumptions utilized above to determine fair value continue to deteriorate, additional impairments in the future could be possible.

The table below summarizes the terminal capitalization rate and discount rate used:

Other Fair Value Disclosures

The estimated fair value and recorded value of our debt as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 were as follows (in thousands):

Total fair value of debt$1,319,700 $1,268,362 
Recorded value of debt$1,439,203 $1,428,494 

Our senior unsecured notes are publicly-traded, which provides quoted market rates. However, due to the limited trading volume of these notes, we have classified these instruments as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Our other debt is classified as Level 3 given the unobservable inputs utilized in the valuation. Our unsecured term loan, unsecured lines of credit and variable interest rate mortgages are all SOFR based instruments. When selecting the discount rates for purposes of estimating the fair value of these instruments, we evaluated the original credit spreads and do not believe that the use of them differs materially from current credit spreads for similar instruments and therefore the recorded values of these debt instruments is considered their fair value.

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other assets and liabilities are reasonable estimates of their fair values because of the short maturities of these instruments. Short-term government securities and our certificates of deposit included in short-term investments are highly liquid investments, which are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices in an active market.


12.    Shareholders' Equity of the Company

As discussed in Note 13, each Class A common limited partnership unit is exchangeable for one common share of the Company. The following table sets forth the number of Class A common limited partnership units exchanged for an equal number of common shares for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021:

At-the-Market Offering

Under our at-the-market stock offering (“ATM Offering”) program, which commenced February 2021, and was reinstated with a new program in December 2023, we may offer and sell our common shares, $0.01 par value per share (“Common Shares”), having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $250.0 million. We may sell the Common Shares in amounts and at times to be determined by us but we have no obligation to sell any of the Common Shares. Actual sales, if any, will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by us from time to time, including, among other things, market conditions, the trading price of the Common Shares, capital needs and determinations by us of the appropriate sources of its funding. We currently intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of shares pursuant to the ATM Offering program for working capital and general corporate purposes. The Company sold 3.5 million Common Shares in 2023 under the ATM Offering program. As of December 31, 2023, we had approximately $220.1 million of Common Shares remaining available for sale under the ATM Offering program.

Share Repurchase Program

In May 2023, the Board authorized the repurchase of up to $100.0 million of the Company’s outstanding common shares through May 31, 2025, replacing the previously authorized plan to repurchase up to $80.0 million of the Company's outstanding shares through May 31, 2023. Repurchases may be made from time to time through open market, privately-negotiated, structured or derivative transactions (including accelerated share repurchase transactions), or other methods of acquiring shares. The Company intends to structure open market purchases to occur within pricing and volume requirements of Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act. The Company may, from time to time, enter into Rule 10b5-1 plans to facilitate the repurchase of its shares under this authorization. The Company has not repurchased any shares under this plan. The remaining amount authorized to be repurchased under the program as of December 31, 2023 was $100.0 million of common shares.

13.    Partners' Equity of the Operating Partnership

All units of partnership interest issued by the Operating Partnership have equal rights with respect to earnings, dividends and net assets. When the Company issues common shares upon the exercise of options, the issuance of restricted share awards or the exchange of Class A common limited partnership units, the Operating Partnership issues a corresponding Class B common limited partnership unit to Tanger LP Trust, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Likewise, when the Company repurchases its outstanding common shares, the Operating Partnership repurchases corresponding Class B common limited partnership units held by Tanger LP Trust.

14.    Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership relate to the interests in the Operating Partnership owned by Non-Company LPs as discussed in Note 2. The noncontrolling interests in other consolidated partnerships consist of outside equity interests in partnerships not wholly-owned by the Company or the Operating Partnership that are consolidated with the financial results of the Company and Operating Partnership because the Operating Partnership exercises control over the entities that own the properties.

In 2023 and 2022, adjustments to the noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership were made as a result of the changes in the Company's ownership of the Operating Partnership from additional units received in connection with the Company's issuance of Common Shares under the ATM Offering program and upon the exercise of options and grants of share-based compensation awards, additional units received upon the exchange of Class A common limited partnership units of the Operating Partnership into an equal number of common shares of the Company, and units repurchased by the Operating Partnership as a result of the Company's repurchase of its outstanding common shares. As discussed in Note 13, for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, Non-Company LPs exchanged 30,024 and 23,577 Class A common limited partnership units of the Operating Partnership, respectively, for an equal number of common shares of the Company. The Company did not repurchase any common shares in 2023 and 2022.

We determine diluted earnings per share based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding combined with the incremental weighted average shares that would have been outstanding assuming all potentially dilutive securities were converted into common shares at the earliest date possible.

Notional units granted under our equity compensation plan are considered contingently issuable common shares and are included in earnings per share if the effect is dilutive using the treasury stock method and the common shares would be issuable if the end of the reporting period were the end of the contingency period. For the year ended December 31, 2021, approximately 506,000 units were excluded from the computation because these units would not have been issuable if the end of the reporting period were the end of the contingency period or because they were anti-dilutive. There were no units excluded from the computation for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

With respect to outstanding options, the effect of dilutive common shares is determined using the treasury stock method whereby outstanding options are assumed exercised at the beginning of the reporting period and the exercise proceeds from such options and the average measured but unrecognized compensation cost during the period are assumed to be used to repurchase our common shares at the average market price during the period. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, approximately 451,000, 513,000 and 332,000 options were excluded from the computation, respectively, as they were anti-dilutive. The assumed exchange of the partnership units held by the Non-Company LPs as of the beginning of the year, which would result in the elimination of earnings allocated to the noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership, would have no impact on earnings per share since the allocation of earnings to a common limited partnership unit, as if exchanged, is equivalent to earnings allocated to a common share.

Certain of the Company's unvested restricted common share awards contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents. The impact of these unvested restricted common share awards on earnings per share has been calculated using the two-class method whereby earnings are allocated to the unvested restricted common share awards based on dividends declared and the unvested restricted common shares' participation rights in undistributed earnings. Unvested restricted common shares that do not contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents are included in the diluted earnings per share computation if the effect is dilutive, using the treasury stock method.

We determine diluted earnings per unit based on the weighted average number of common units outstanding combined with the incremental weighted average units that would have been outstanding assuming all potentially dilutive securities were converted into common units at the earliest date possible.

Notional units granted under our equity compensation plan are considered contingently issuable common units and are included in earnings per unit if the effect is dilutive using the treasury stock method and the common units would be issuable if the end of the reporting period were the end of the contingency period. For the year ended December 31, 2021, approximately 506,000 units were excluded from the computation because these units would not have been issuable if the end of the reporting period were the end of the contingency period or because they were anti-dilutive.

The market price of a common unit is considered to be equivalent to the market price of a Company common share. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, approximately 451,000, 513,000 and 332,000 options were excluded from the computation, respectively.

Certain of the Company's unvested restricted common share awards contain non-forfeitable rights to distributions or distribution equivalents. The impact of the corresponding unvested restricted unit awards on earnings per unit has been calculated using the two-class method whereby earnings are allocated to the unvested restricted unit awards based on distributions declared and the unvested restricted units' participation rights in undistributed earnings. Unvested restricted common units that do not contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents are included in the diluted earnings per unit computation if the effect is dilutive, using the treasury stock method.

17.    Equity-Based Compensation

When a common share is issued by the Company, the Operating Partnership issues one corresponding unit of partnership interest to the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, the Tanger LP Trust. Therefore, when the Company grants an equity based award, the Operating Partnership treats each award as having been granted by the Operating Partnership. In the discussion below, the term "we" refers to the Company and the Operating Partnership together and the term "shares" is meant to also include corresponding units of the Operating Partnership.

We have a shareholder approved equity-based compensation plan, the Incentive Award Plan of Tanger Inc. and Tanger Properties Limited Partnership, as amended (the “Plan”), which covers our non-employee directors, officers, employees and consultants. Effective May 19, 2023, the Plan was amended and restated to, among other things, increase the number of shares authorized for issuance under the plan to 21.3 million shares and extend the term of the plan by an additional ten years. As of December 31, 2023, common shares remaining available for future issuance totaled approximately 3.8 million common shares. The amount and terms of the awards granted under the Plan are determined by the Board (or the Compensation Committee of the Board).

We recorded equity-based compensation expense in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively, as follows (in thousands):
202320222021
Restricted common shares $7,598 $7,654 $7,980 
Notional unit performance awards4,437 4,987 4,406 
Options476 328 366 
Total equity-based compensation$12,511 $12,969 $12,752 

Equity-based compensation expense capitalized as a part of rental property and deferred lease costs were as follows (in thousands):
 202320222021
Equity-based compensation expense capitalized$255 $191 $94 

As of December 31, 2023, there was $15.5 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested common equity-based compensation arrangements granted under the Plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.3 years.

Restricted Common Share and Restricted Share Unit Awards

During the years ended 2023, 2022 and 2021, the Company granted approximately 345,000, 513,000 and 485,000 restricted common shares and restricted share units, respectively, to the Company's non-employee directors and the Company's senior executive officers. The non-employee directors' restricted common shares generally vest ratably over periods ranging from one to three year periods and the senior executive officers' restricted common shares generally vest ratably over periods ranging from three to five years. Compensation expense related to the amortization of the deferred compensation is being recognized in accordance with the vesting schedule of the restricted common shares and restricted share units. For all of the restricted common share and restricted share unit awards described above, the grant date fair value of the awards were determined based upon the closing market price of the Company's common shares on the day prior to the grant date.

The table above excludes restricted common shares earned under the 2018, 2019 and 2020 Performance Share Plan. In connection with the 2018 Performance Share Plan, we issued approximately 76,000 restricted common shares in February 2021, with approximately 49,000 vesting during 2021 and the remaining 27,000 vesting in February 2022. In connection with the 2019 Performance Share Plan, we issued approximately 97,000 restricted common shares in February 2022, with approximately 59,000 vesting during 2022 and the remaining 38,000 vesting in February 2023. In connection with the 2020 Performance Share Plan, we issued approximately 759,000 restricted common shares in February 2023, with approximately 444,000 vesting during 2023 and the remaining 315,000 to vest in February 2024. All performance share plan vesting is contingent upon continued employment with the Company through the vesting date (unless terminated prior thereto (a) by the Company without cause, (b) by participant for good reason or (c) due to death or disability).

The total value of restricted common shares vested during the years ended 2023, 2022 and 2021 was $18.2 million, $10.6 million and $9.4 million, respectively. During the years ended 2023, 2022 and 2021, we withheld shares with value equivalent to the employees' obligation for the applicable income and other employment taxes, and remitted the cash to the appropriate taxing authorities. The total number of shares withheld were approximately 380,000, 240,000 and 139,000 for the years ended 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and were based on the value of the restricted common shares on the vesting date as determined by our closing share price on the day prior to the vesting date. Total amounts paid for the employees' tax obligation to taxing authorities were $7.3 million, $3.7 million and $2.1 million for the years ended 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively, which are reflected as a financing activity within the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Notional Unit Performance Awards

Performance Share Plan

Each year, the Compensation Committee of the Company approves the terms and the number of awards to be granted under the Tanger Inc. Performance Share Plan (the “PSP"), formerly titled the "Outperformance Plan". The PSP is a long-term incentive compensation plan. Recipients may earn units that may convert, subject to the achievement of the goals described below, into restricted common shares of the Company based on the Company’s absolute share price appreciation (or absolute total shareholder return) and its share price appreciation relative to its peer group (or relative total shareholder return) over a three-year measurement period. For all recipients, any shares earned at the end of the three-year measurement period are subject to a time-based vesting schedule, with 50% of the shares vesting immediately following the measurement period, and the remaining 50% vesting one year thereafter, contingent upon continued employment with the Company through the vesting date (unless terminated prior thereto (a) by the Company without cause, (b) by participant for good reason or (c) due to death or disability).

In November 2022, Michael Bilerman became the Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Investment Officer of the Company. Mr. Bilerman was granted 250,000 options that have an exercise price of $19.37 per share, which equaled the closing market price of a common share of the Company on the day prior to the grant date. The options expire 10 years from the date of grant and 50% of the options become exercisable on November 29, 2024, 25% of the options become exercisable on November 29, 2025 and 25% of the options become exercisable on November 29, 2026, in each case, contingent upon continued employment with the Company through the applicable vesting date (subject to acceleration upon certain terminations of employment). The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which resulted in a weighted average grant date fair value per share of $6.13 and included the following weighted-average assumptions: expected dividend yield of 5.10%; expected life of 6.8 years; expected volatility of 48%; a risk-free rate of 3.96%; and forfeiture rate of 0.0%.

In September 2020, the Company granted 334,500 options to non-executive employees of the Company. The exercise price of the options granted was $5.73 per share, which equaled the closing market price of the Company's common shares on the day prior to the grant date. The options expire 10 years from the date of grant and 20% of the options become exercisable in each of the first 5 years commencing one year from the date of grant. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which resulted in a weighted average grant date fair value per share of $1.03 and included the following weighted-average assumptions: expected dividend yield of 4.93%; expected life of 6.5 years; expected volatility of 34.39%; a risk-free rate of 0.48%; and forfeiture rate of 7.2% dependent upon the employee's position within the Company.

In April 2020, Stephen Yalof became the President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company. Mr. Yalof was granted 1.0 million options that have an exercise price of $7.15 per share, which equaled the closing market price of a common share of the Company on the day prior to the grant date. As an inducement to his entering into employment with the Company, the options were granted outside of the Company’s shareholder approved equity plan pursuant to New York Stock Exchange rules. The options expire 10 years from the date of the grant and 25% of the options became exercisable on December 31, 2020 with the remaining options vesting ratably on each December 31st through 2023, in each case, contingent upon continued employment with the Company through the applicable vesting date (subject to acceleration upon certain terminations of employment). The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which resulted in a weighted average grant date fair value per share of $0.42 and included the following weighted-average assumptions: expected dividend yield of 9.86%; expected life of 7.9 years; expected volatility of 30%; a risk-free rate of 0.60%; and forfeiture rate of 0.0%.

401(k) Retirement Savings Plan

We have a 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan covering substantially all employees who meet certain age and employment criteria. An employee may invest pretax earnings in the 401(k) plan up to the maximum legal limits (as defined by Federal regulations). This plan allows participants to defer a portion of their compensation and to receive matching contributions for a portion of the deferred amounts. During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, we contributed approximately $1.2 million, $968,000 and $867,000, respectively, to the 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan.

21.    Lease Agreements

Lessor

As a lessor, substantially all of our revenues are earned from arrangements that are within the scope of ASC 842. We account for lease and non-lease components as a single component, which resulted in all of our revenues associated with leases being recorded as rental revenues in the consolidated statements of operations. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 we recorded a straight-line rent adjustment of $2.2 million, $1.7 million and $1.9 million, respectively, as an increase to rental revenues in our consolidated statements of operations to record revenues from executory costs on a straight-line basis. In addition, direct internal leasing costs are capitalized; however, indirect internal leasing costs are expensed. We only capitalize the portion of these types of costs incurred that are a direct result of an executed lease.

As of December 31, 2023, we were the lessor to over 2,400 stores in our 32 consolidated centers, under operating leases with initial terms that expire from 2024 to 2039, with certain agreements containing extension options. We also have certain agreements which require tenants to pay their portion of reimbursable expenses such as common area expenses, utilities, insurance and real estate taxes.

For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the components of rental revenues are as follows (in thousands):

Lessee

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022 we have operating lease right-of-use assets $77.4 million and $78.6 million, respectively, and operating lease liabilities of $86.1 million, and $87.5 million, respectively. In 2021, we recorded an impairment charge of $7.0 million in our consolidated statement of operations which equaled the excess of the carrying value of our Foxwoods center over its estimated fair value of which $563,000 of the impairment charge was allocated to the right-of-use asset.

Our non-cancelable operating leases, with terms in excess of one year, have terms, including certain extension options, that expire from 2028 to 2101. Certain extension options, which are reasonably certain at inception, are used in the calculation of our operating lease right-of-use assets based on the economic life of the asset. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less (short-term leases) are not recorded on the balance sheet; we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The majority of our operating lease expense is related to ground leases at the following centers: Myrtle Beach Hwy 17, Atlantic City, Sevierville, Riverhead, Foxwoods and Rehoboth Beach and the lease of our corporate office in Greensboro, North Carolina.

22.    Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

We are subject to legal proceedings and claims, which arise from time to time in the ordinary course of our business and have not been finally adjudicated. In our opinion, the ultimate resolution of these matters is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. We record a liability in our consolidated financial statements for these matters when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. We review these estimates each accounting period as additional information is known and adjust the loss provision when appropriate. If a matter is both probable to result in a liability and the amounts of loss can be reasonably estimated, we estimate and disclose the possible loss or range of loss to the extent necessary to make the consolidated financial statements not misleading. If the loss is not probable or cannot be reasonably estimated, a liability is not recorded in our consolidated financial statements.

F-55


Lease Agreements

In addition, certain of our lease agreements include co-tenancy and/or sales-based provisions that may allow a tenant to pay reduced rent and/or terminate a lease prior to its natural expiration if we fail to maintain certain occupancy levels or retain specified named tenants, or if the tenant does not achieve certain specified sales targets. Our occupancy at our consolidated centers has remained at 97% at December 31, 2022 and 97% at December 31, 2023. If our occupancy declines, certain centers may fall below the minimum co-tenancy thresholds and could trigger many tenants ability to pay reduced rents, which in turn may negatively impact our results of operations.

Employment Agreements

We are party to employment agreements with certain executives that provide for compensation and certain other benefits. The agreements also provide for severance payments under certain circumstances. We are also party to an executive severance plan with certain other executives that provide for severance payments under certain circumstances.

Debt

We provide guarantees to lenders for our joint ventures which include standard non-recourse carve out indemnifications for losses arising from items such as but not limited to fraud, physical waste, payment of taxes, environmental indemnities, misapplication of insurance proceeds or security deposits and failure to maintain required insurance. For construction and mortgage loans, we may include a guaranty of completion as well as a principal guaranty. The principal guarantees include terms for release based upon satisfactory completion of construction and performance targets including occupancy thresholds and minimum debt service coverage tests. Our joint ventures may contain make whole provisions in the event that demands are made on any existing guarantees. As of December 31, 2023, the maximum amount of joint venture debt guaranteed by the Company is $10.0 million.

23.    Subsequent Events

Dividends

In January 2024, the Board declared a $0.26 quarterly cash dividend per common share payable on February 15, 2024 to each shareholder of record on January 31, 2024, and a $0.26 cash distribution per Operating Partnership unit to the Operating Partnership's unitholders.
