SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Report”) may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe our future plans, strategies and expectations are generally identifiable by use of the words “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “intend” or “project,” or the negative thereof, or other variations thereon or comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause our actual results and financial performance to be materially different from future results and financial performance expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to: (i) economic, political and social uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, including (a) the effectiveness or lack of effectiveness of governmental relief in providing assistance to large and small businesses, including the Company’s tenants, that have suffered significant declines in revenues as a result of mandatory business shut-downs, “shelter-in-place” or “stay-at-home” orders and social distancing practices, as well as individuals adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, (b) the duration of any such orders or other formal recommendations for social distancing and the speed and extent to which revenues of the Company’s retail tenants recover following the lifting of any such orders or recommendations, (c) the potential impact of any such events on the obligations of the Company’s tenants to make rent and other payments or honor other commitments under existing leases, (d) to the extent we were seeking to sell properties in the near term, significantly greater uncertainty regarding our ability to do so at attractive prices, (e) the potential adverse impact on returns from development and redevelopment projects, and (f) the broader impact of the severe economic contraction and increase in unemployment that has occurred in the short term and negative consequences that will occur if these trends are not quickly reversed; (ii) the ability and willingness of the Company’s tenants (in particular its major tenants) and other third parties to satisfy their obligations under their respective contractual arrangements with the Company; (iii) macroeconomic conditions, such as a disruption of or lack of access to the capital markets; (iv) the Company’s success in implementing its business strategy and its ability to identify, underwrite, finance, consummate and integrate diversifying acquisitions and investments; (v) changes in general economic conditions or economic conditions in the markets in which the Company may, from time to time, compete, and their effect on the Company’s revenues, earnings and funding sources; (vi) increases in the Company’s borrowing costs as a result of changes in interest rates and other factors, including the potential phasing out of the London Interbank Offered Rate after 2021; (vii) the Company’s ability to pay down, refinance, restructure or extend its indebtedness as it becomes due; (viii) the Company’s investments in joint ventures and unconsolidated entities, including its lack of sole decision-making authority and its reliance on its joint venture partners’ financial condition; (ix) the Company’s ability to obtain the financial results expected from its development and redevelopment projects; (x) the ability and willingness of the Company’s tenants to renew their leases with the Company upon expiration, the Company’s ability to re-lease its properties on the same or better terms in the event of nonrenewal or in the event the Company exercises its right to replace an existing tenant, and obligations the Company may incur in connection with the replacement of an existing tenant; (xi) the Company’s liability for environmental matters; (xii) damage to the Company’s properties from catastrophic weather and other natural events, and the physical effects of climate change; (xiii) uninsured losses; (xiv) the Company’s ability and willingness to maintain its qualification as a REIT in light of economic, market, legal, tax and other considerations; (xv) information technology security breaches, including increased cybersecurity risks relating to the use of remote technology during the COVID-19 pandemic; and (xvi) the loss of key executives.
The factors described above are not exhaustive and additional factors could adversely affect the Company’s future results and financial performance, including the risk factors discussed under the section captioned “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, and other periodic or current reports the Company files with the SEC, including those set forth under the headings “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this Report. These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating any forward-looking statements contained or incorporated by reference herein. Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof. The Company expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in the Company’s expectations with regard thereto or change in the events, conditions or circumstances on which such forward-looking statements are based.

1. Organization, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
Acadia Realty Trust (collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) is a fully-integrated equity real estate investment trust (“REIT”) focused on the ownership, acquisition, development, and management of retail properties located primarily in high-barrier-to-entry, supply-constrained, densely-populated metropolitan areas in the United States.
All of the Company’s assets are held by, and all of its operations are conducted through, Acadia Realty Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”) and entities in which the Operating Partnership owns an interest. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company controlled approximately
As of March 31, 2020, the Company has ownership interests in
The Operating Partnership is the sole general partner or managing member of the Funds and Mervyns II and earns fees or priority distributions for asset management, property management, construction, development, leasing, and legal services. Cash flows from the Funds and Mervyns II are distributed pro-rata to their respective partners and members (including the Operating Partnership) until each receives a certain cumulative return (“Preferred Return”) and the return of all capital contributions. Thereafter, remaining cash flow is distributed
The following table summarizes the general terms and Operating Partnership’s equity interests in the Funds and Mervyns II (dollars in millions):

Basis of Presentation
Segments
At March 31, 2020, the Company had
Principles of Consolidation
The interim consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of the Company and its investments in partnerships and limited liability companies in which the Company has control in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810 “Consolidation” (“ASC Topic 810”). The ownership interests of other investors in these entities are recorded as noncontrolling interests. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in entities for which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over, but does not have financial or operating control, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, the Company’s share of the earnings (or losses) of these entities are included in consolidated net income or loss.
The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year. The information furnished in the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflects all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the aforementioned consolidated financial statements for the interim periods. Such adjustments consisted of normal recurring items, with the exception of adjustments due to the adoption of new credit loss standard and impairment.
These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on February 21, 2020.
Use of Estimates
GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the interim consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The most significant assumptions and estimates relate to the valuation of real estate, depreciable lives, revenue recognition and the collectability of notes receivable and rents receivable. Application of these estimates and assumptions requires the exercise of judgment as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ from these estimates.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Credit Losses
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses. ASU 2016-13 introduced a new model for estimating credit losses for certain types of financial instruments, including loans receivable, held-to-maturity debt securities, and net investments in direct financing leases, amongst other financial instruments. ASU 2016-13 also modified the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities and expands the disclosure requirements regarding an entity’s assumptions, models, and methods for estimating the allowance for losses.
In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326) which provided relief to certain entities adopting ASU 2016-13. The amendments accomplish those objectives by providing entities with an option to irrevocably elect the fair value option in Subtopic 825-10, applied on an instrument-by-instrument basis for eligible instruments, that are within the scope of Subtopic 326-20, upon adoption of Topic 326. The fair value option election does not apply to held-to-maturity debt securities, therefore, the Company did not elect to apply this option.
ASU 2016-13, and its related ASUs have been adopted by the Company effective January 1, 2020. Retrospective adjustments were applied through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings. Upon implementation of ASU 2016-13 and other related guidance, the Company recorded loan loss reserves related to its Structured Financing portfolio (Note 3) of $
11
ACADIA REALTY TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
Financing portfolio under ASC 326 (as further described in Note 3), however, the Company has not made any changes to its accounting policies for accounting for credit losses.
In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses. This ASU modifies ASU 2016-13. The amendment clarifies that receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of Subtopic 326-20, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses – Measure at Amortized Cost. Instead, impairment of receivables arising from operating leases should be accounted for in accordance with Topic 842, Leases. ASU 2018-19 was adopted by the Company effective January 1, 2020. The Company already accounted for its lease receivables utilizing the guidance of ASC 842 and did not make any adjustments related to the implementation of ASU 2018-19.
Other Guidance
In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments, which provides updates and clarifications to three previously-issued ASUs: 2016-01 Financial Instruments — Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities; 2016-13 Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, described above; and 2017-12 Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities, which the Company early adopted effective January 1, 2018. The updates related to ASU 2019-04 were adopted by the Company effective January 1, 2020 with no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement which removes, modifies, and adds certain disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements in ASC 820. This guidance was adopted on January 1, 2020.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-03, Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments. The amendments in this Update represent changes to clarify or improve the Codification, were adopted effective January 1, 2020 and did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)—Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The amendments in this Update apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. Effective in the first quarter of 2020, the Company has 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. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation and does not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740) Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The amendments in this Update provide guidance for interim period and intra period tax accounting; provide tax accounting guidance for foreign subsidiaries; require that an entity recognize a franchise (or similar) tax that is partially based on income as an income-based tax and account for any incremental amount incurred as a non-income-based tax; as well as other changes to tax accounting. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. As a REIT, the Company usually does not have significant income taxes. Accordingly, the implementation of this guidance is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01 Investments—Equity securities (Topic 321), Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)—Clarifying the Interactions Between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815. The amendments in this Update affect all entities that apply the guidance in Topics 321, 323, and 815 and (i) elect to apply the measurement alternative or (ii) enter into a forward contract or purchase an option to purchase securities that, upon settlement of the forward contract or exercise of the purchased option, would be accounted for under the equity method of accounting. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Currently, the Company does not apply the measurement alternative and does not have any such forward contracts or purchase options. As a result, the implementation of this guidance is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
On April 8, 2020, the FASB issued a position allowing for reporting entities to make an accounting policy election to account for lease concessions related to the effects of COVID-19 (Note 15) consistent with how those concessions would be accounted for under Topic 842, which is as though the enforceable rights and obligations for those concessions existed regardless of whether those enforceable rights and obligations for

ACADIA REALTY TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
the concessions explicitly exist in the contract. This election is available for concessions that result in the total cash flows required by the modified contract being substantially the same or less than total cash flows required by the original contract. The Company did not make any concessions during the three months ended March 31, 2020. The Company believes it is reasonably possible that it will grant concessions during subsequent periods at which time it will consider making this policy election.

On May 2, 2019, the Company acquired a ground lease interest at 1238 Wisconsin Avenue in Washington, D.C. (“1238 Wisconsin”). Prior to the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company had a controlling interest, and therefore consolidated the property within the Company’s financial statements. During December 2019, the Company entered into an operating agreement in order to admit a co-investor and property manager, who was also appointed the development manager under a separate agreement. As a result of these transactions and the significant participation rights of the co-investor, the Company de-consolidated 1238 Wisconsin and accounted for its interest under the equity method of accounting effective October 1, 2019 as it does not control but exercises significant influence over the investment.

8. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements
The fair value of an asset is defined as the exit price, which is the amount that would either be received when an asset is sold or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers are: Level 1, for which quoted market prices for identical instruments are available in active markets, such as money market funds, equity securities, and U.S. Treasury securities; Level 2, for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the instrument, such as certain derivative instruments including interest rate caps and interest rate swaps; and Level 3, for financial instruments or other assets/liabilities that do not fall into Level 1 or Level 2 and for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring the Company to develop its own assumptions.
Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The methods and assumptions described below were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument. For significant Level 3 items, the Company has also provided the unobservable inputs along with their weighted-average ranges.
Money Market Funds — The Company has money market funds, which are included in Cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated financial statements, are comprised of government securities and/or U.S. Treasury bills. These funds were classified as Level 1 as we used quoted prices from active markets to determine their fair values.
Derivative Assets — The Company has derivative assets, which are included in Other assets, net in the consolidated financial statements, and are comprised of interest rate swaps and caps. The derivative instruments were measured at fair value using readily observable market inputs, such as quotations on interest rates, and were classified as Level 2 as these instruments are custom, over-the-counter contracts with various bank counterparties that are not traded in an active market. See “Derivative Financial Instruments,” below.
Derivative Liabilities — The Company has derivative liabilities, which are included in Accounts payable and other liabilities in the consolidated financial statements, and are comprised of interest rate swaps. These derivative instruments were measured at fair value using readily observable market inputs, such as quotations on interest rates, and were classified as Level 2 because they are custom, over-the-counter contracts with various bank counterparties that are not traded in an active market. See “Derivative Financial Instruments,” below.
The Company did not have any transfers into or out of Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 measurements during the three months ended March 31, 2020 or 2019.

In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.
Items Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis (Including Impairment Charges)
During March of 2020, the Company was impacted by the COVID-19 Pandemic (Note 15), which caused the Company to re-evaluate its holding periods and forecasted operating income at certain properties. As a result, several impairments were recorded at Fund assets. Impairment charges for the periods presented are as follows (in thousands):

All of the Company’s derivative instruments have been designated as cash flow hedges and hedge the future cash outflows on variable-rate debt (Note 7). It is estimated that approximately $
Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives
The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity and credit risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources and duration of its debt funding and, from time to time, through the use of derivative financial instruments. The Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the values of which are determined by interest rates. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing and duration of the Company’s known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to the Company’s investments and borrowings.
29
ACADIA REALTY TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparties to the swaps if the derivative position has a positive balance. The Company believes it mitigates its credit risk by entering into swaps with major financial institutions. The Company continually monitors and actively manages interest costs on its variable-rate debt portfolio and may enter into additional interest rate swap positions or other derivative interest rate instruments based on market conditions.
Credit Risk-Related Contingent Features
The Company has agreements with each of its swap counterparties that contain a provision whereby if the Company defaults on certain of its unsecured indebtedness, the Company could also be declared in default on its swaps, resulting in an acceleration of payment under the swaps.
Other Financial Instruments
The Company’s other financial instruments had the following carrying values and fair values as of the dates shown (dollars in thousands, inclusive of amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests where applicable):

(a) |
The Company determined the estimated fair value of these financial instruments using a discounted cash flow model with rates that take into account the credit of the borrower or tenant, where applicable, and interest rate risk. The Company also considered the value of the underlying collateral, taking into account the quality of the collateral, the credit quality of the borrower, the time until maturity and the current market interest rate environment. |
(b) |
Represents Fund II’s cost-method investment in Albertsons’ supermarkets and the Operating Partnership’s cost-method investment in Fifth Wall (Note 4). |
(c) |
The Company determined the estimated fair value of the unsecured notes payable and unsecured line of credit using quoted market prices in an open market with limited trading volume where available. In cases where there was no trading volume, the Company determined the estimated fair value using a discounted cash flow model using a rate that reflects the average yield of similar market participants. |
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and certain financial instruments included in other assets and other liabilities had fair values that approximated their carrying values due to their short maturity profiles at March 31, 2020.
9. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is involved in various matters of litigation arising out of, or incident to, its business, including the litigation described in Note 7. While the Company is unable to predict with certainty the outcome of any particular matter, management does not expect, when such litigation is resolved, that the Company’s resulting exposure to loss contingencies, if any, will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position.
Commitments and Guaranties

14. Earnings Per Common Share
Basic earnings per Common Share is computed by dividing net income attributable to Common Shareholders by the weighted-average Common Shares outstanding (Note 10). During the periods presented, the Company had unvested LTIP Units which provide for non-forfeitable rights to dividend equivalent payments. Accordingly, these unvested LTIP Units are considered participating securities and are included in the computation of basic earnings per Common Share pursuant to the two-class method.
Diluted earnings per Common Share reflects the potential dilution of the conversion of obligations and the assumed exercises of securities including the effects of restricted share units (“Restricted Share Units”) issued under the Company’s Share Incentive Plans (Note 13). The effect of such shares is excluded from the calculation of earnings per share when anti-dilutive as indicated in the table below.

Distributions
On April 15, 2020, the Company paid its previously-announced distributions to Common Share and OP Unit holders for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 totaling $
On May 5, 2020, the Company’s Board voted to suspend the distributions on the Common Shares and Common OP Units for the quarter ending June 30, 2020. The Board has not made any decisions regarding its dividend policy beyond the second quarter of 2020 and will closely monitor the Company’s financial performance and economic outlook and assess when to reinitiate an appropriate dividend to maintain compliance with its REIT taxable income requirements.
COVID-19 Pandemic
Beginning in March 2020, the pandemic outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (the “COVID-19 Pandemic”) has adversely affected economic activity and significantly decreased consumer activity, both on a global and domestic level. The COVID-19 Pandemic and government responses are creating disruption in global supply chains and adversely impacting many industries, including the domestic retail sectors in which the Company’s tenants operate. The COVID-19 Pandemic could continue to have a material adverse impact on economic and market conditions and trigger a period of global economic slowdown. Under governmental restrictions and guidance, certain retailers are considered “essential businesses” and are permitted to remain fully operating during the COVID-19 Pandemic, while other “non-essential businesses” have been ordered to decrease or close operations for an indeterminate period of time to protect their employees and customers from the spread of the virus. These disruptions, which continue as of the date of this Report, may impact the collectability of rent from the Company’s affected tenants, as well as the recoverability of the Company’s real estate assets. The Company cannot estimate with reasonable certainty which currently operating tenants will remain open or if and when non-operating retailers will re-open for business as the COVID-19 Pandemic progresses. As of April 30, 2020, the Company estimates that approximately
On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law the “Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act.” The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of employer side social security payments, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations, increased limitations on qualified charitable contributions, and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. It also appropriated funds for the SBA Paycheck Protection Program loans that are forgivable in certain situations to promote continued employment, as well as Economic Injury Disaster Loans to provide liquidity to small businesses harmed by COVID-19. Currently, Management is unable to determine the impact that the CARES Act will have on the Company and ultimately on its financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity for fiscal year 2020.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. |
OVERVIEW
As of March 31, 2020, we own or have an ownership interest in 188 properties held through our Core Portfolio and Funds. Our Core Portfolio consists of those properties either 100% owned, or partially owned through joint venture interests, by the Operating Partnership or its subsidiaries, not including those properties owned through our Funds. These properties primarily consist of street and urban retail, and dense suburban shopping centers. Our Funds are investment vehicles through which our Operating Partnership and outside institutional investors invest in primarily opportunistic and value-add retail real estate. Currently, we have active investments in four Funds. A summary of our wholly-owned and partially-owned retail properties and their physical occupancies (including tenants who may have been forced to close their businesses as a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic, as discussed under “Significant Developments” below) at March 31, 2020 is as follows:

The majority of our operating income is derived from rental revenues from operating properties, including expense recoveries from tenants, offset by operating and overhead expenses.
Our primary business objective is to acquire and manage commercial retail properties that will provide cash for distributions to shareholders while also creating the potential for capital appreciation to enhance investor returns. We focus on the following fundamentals to achieve this objective:
|
• |
Own and operate a Core Portfolio of high-quality retail properties located primarily in high-barrier-to-entry, densely-populated metropolitan areas and create value through accretive development and re-tenanting activities coupled with the acquisition of high-quality assets that have the long-term potential to outperform the asset class as part of our Core asset recycling and acquisition initiative. |
|
• |
Generate additional external growth through an opportunistic yet disciplined acquisition program within our Funds. We target transactions with high inherent opportunity for the creation of additional value through: |
|
• |
value-add investments in street retail properties, located in established and “next generation” submarkets, with re-tenanting or repositioning opportunities, |
|
• |
opportunistic acquisitions of well-located real-estate anchored by distressed retailers, and |
|
• |
other opportunistic acquisitions which may include high-yield acquisitions and purchases of distressed debt. |
43
Some of these investments historically have also included, and may in the future include, joint ventures with private equity investors for the purpose of making investments in operating retailers with significant embedded value in their real estate assets.
|
• |
Maintain a strong and flexible balance sheet through conservative financial practices while ensuring access to sufficient capital to fund future growth. |
SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENTS DURING THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2020
Special Note Regarding the COVID-19 Pandemic
During the first quarter of 2020, a novel strain of coronavirus, COVID-19, spread to the United States and numerous other countries worldwide (the “COVID-19 Pandemic”). In order to protect citizens and slow the spread of COVID-19, a majority of state governments in the United States instituted restrictions on travel, implemented “shelter-in-place” or “stay-at-home” orders and social distancing practices, and mandated shutdowns of certain “non-essential” businesses for an indeterminate period of time. As a result, a majority of the Company’s retail tenants have been forced to temporarily close their businesses. The only businesses that have remained in operation are “essential” businesses, as defined by each state, and generally include health care facilities, infrastructure-related facilities, as well as certain retail categories including, among others: grocery/convenience stores, pharmacies, gas stations, hardware/building materials, telecommunications and, subject to certain restrictions, restaurants and bars. The prospect of sustained tenant closures creates concern regarding the Company’s ability to fully collect rents billed during the second quarter of 2020 and possibly thereafter from non-operating tenants, many of which have already requested rent concessions from the Company. In addition, the COVID-19 Pandemic has had a significant adverse impact on economic and market conditions resulting in a decline in the Company’s share price, disruption of or lack of access to the capital markets and depressed real estate values, among others. The Company notes the following as a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic:
|
• |
Effective March 20, 2020, the Company closed its offices and its employees successfully transitioned to working from their homes. |
|
• |
On March 31, 2020, the Company issued a press release relaying that certain major development and construction projects have been placed on hold and withdrawing its 2020 guidance. |
|
• |
The Company reviewed its assets for impairment at March 31, 2020 and determined that it would take an aggregate non-cash impairment charge of $51.5 million, of which $12.4 million was the Company’s pro-rata share, as a result of changes in estimated holding periods, estimated net operating income and cap rates at selected properties due to circumstances stemming from the COVID-19 Pandemic (Note 8). |
|
• |
As of April 30, 2020, 66% and 71% of Core Portfolio and Fund Portfolio retail tenants, respectively, are considered “non-essential” businesses and remain closed, totaling approximately 66% of rents billed in April. We cannot presently determine when or how many of our non-essential tenants will reopen. |
|
• |
Collections of rents billed in March 2020 were not significantly impacted by the COVID-19 Pandemic. However, during the second quarter of 2020, the Company has been monitoring collections of its April and May 2020 rents. To date, collections of April 2020 rents are over 50% of billed rents and recoveries. |
|
• |
The Company is in the process of negotiating rent concessions, substantially in the form of deferrals, with select tenants. It is too early to determine the impact of such concessions on future period revenues or cash flows; however, the Company anticipates that revenues for the second quarter, and potentially the remainder of the year, will be negatively impacted. |
|
• |
The Company reviewed the collectability of its rents receivable and straight-line rents at March 31, 2020 and recorded an increase to its credit loss reserves of approximately $3.0 million (Note 11, Note 3) primarily related to projected tenant defaults stemming from business closures attributable to the COVID-19 Pandemic. |
|
• |
The Company continues to have active discussions with existing and potential new tenants for new and renewed leases. However, the uncertainty relating to the COVID-19 Pandemic has slowed the pace of leasing activity and could result in higher vacancy than the Company otherwise would have experienced, a longer amount of time to fill vacancies and potentially lower rental rates. As of March 31, 2020, approximately 2.6% and 5.5% of the Company’s Core and Fund portfolio rents, respectively, was subject to leases scheduled to expire in 2020 and 11.7% and 10.1% was subject to leases scheduled to expire in 2021. |
|
• |
Given the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on the markets where our properties are located, we anticipate a reduction in our disposition and acquisition activity during the second quarter and potentially for the remainder of 2020. |
|
• |
The Company has numerous long-dated interest rate cash flow hedges (Note 7, Note 8) in place to effectively fix the interest rates on its variable-rate debt. In periods when interest rates fall below the effective rates of the underlying debt agreements, the Company is required to make payments for its swaps that are charged to interest expense. The fair value of the interest rate swaps at March 31, 2020 was a liability of $104.3 million, which represents the present value of expected payments over the weighted-average remaining term of the swaps, which was 7.8 years. |
44
|
• |
The Company has reviewed its debt covenants with no significant new compliance issues noted as of March 31, 2020. However, potential reductions in the collections of rent during the second quarter of 2020 may impact future debt compliance at various properties. |
|
• |
We have suspended distributions on the Common Shares and Common OP Units for the second quarter of 2020. Our Board of Trustees has not made any decisions regarding our dividend policy beyond the second quarter of 2020 and will closely monitor our financial performance and economic outlook in order to assess when to reinitiate an appropriate dividend to maintain compliance with REIT taxable income requirements. |
While the Company currently considers the disruptions associated with the COVID-19 Pandemic to be temporary, if such disruptions continue or have a more severe impact than anticipated, they may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s revenues, results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity for the year ending December 31, 2020.
Investments
During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we invested in two properties aggregating $19.2 million, inclusive of transaction costs, within our Core portfolio as follows:
|
• |
On January 9, we acquired a fully-occupied retail condominium, 37 Greene Street, located in the SoHo section of New York City, for $15.7 million. |
|
• |
On February 13, we acquired a fully-occupied, mixed-use building in Chicago, Illinois, for $3.5 million. |
During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we did not make any investments within our Fund portfolio.
Dispositions of Real Estate
During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we did not make any dispositions in our Core or Fund portfolios; however, a Fund IV property was sold in April 2020 (Note 15).
Financing Activity
During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we (Note 7) extended debt aggregating $46.4 million at Fund IV pursuant to existing available extension options. Subsequent to March 31, 2020, Fund V extended its subscription line (Note 15).
Structured Financing Investments
During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we entered into two new Structured Financing investments (Note 3) as follows:
|
• |
On January 17, the Company loaned $54.0 million to an entity that owns an interest in 850 Third Avenue, in Brooklyn, New York. |
|
• |
On February 6, the Company loaned $5.0 million to one of the Company’s venture partners. |
Equity Repurchases
The Company repurchased 1,219,065 Common Shares for $22.4 million, inclusive of $0.1 million of fees at a weighted average price per share of $18.29, under the share repurchase program, under which $122.6 million remains available as of March 31, 2020 (Note 10).

Core Portfolio
The results of operations for our Core Portfolio segment are depicted in the table above under the headings labeled “Core.” Segment net income attributable to Acadia for our Core Portfolio decreased $8.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the prior year period as a result of the changes further described below.
Revenues for our Core Portfolio decreased $6.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the prior year period primarily due to the write-off of a below-market lease related to a tenant that vacated in 2019 for $5.7 million and a $4.3 million increase in credit loss reserves (comprised of $1.3 million and $3.0 million of billed rent and straight-line rent, respectively) in 2020 primarily related to the COVID-19 Pandemic. These decreases were offset by additional rents of $2.5 million from Core property acquisitions during 2019 and 2020 (Note 2).
Depreciation and amortization for our Core Portfolio increased $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the prior year period primarily due to Core property acquisitions in 2019 and 2020.
Interest expense for our Core Portfolio increased $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the prior year period primarily due to higher average outstanding borrowings in 2020.
Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests for our Core Portfolio increased $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the prior year period based on the noncontrolling interests’ share of the variances discussed above.
Funds
The results of operations for our Funds segment are depicted in the table above under the headings labeled “Funds.” Segment net income attributable to Acadia for the Funds decreased $12.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the prior year period as a result of the changes described below.
Revenues for the Funds increased $3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the prior year period primarily due to Fund property acquisitions in 2019 partially offset by $1.5 million from Fund property dispositions (Note 2).
Depreciation and amortization for the Funds increased $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the prior year period primarily due to $2.5 million from Fund property acquisitions in 2019 partially offset by $0.6 million from Fund property dispositions.
46
Property operating expenses, other operating and real estate taxes for the Funds increased $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the prior year period primarily due to Fund property acquisitions in 2019 partially offset by $0.6 million from Fund property dispositions.
Impairment of $51.5 million for the Funds relates to $33.8 million for 654 Broadway and Cortlandt Crossing in Fund III and $17.7 million for 801 Madison and 146 Geary in Fund IV.
Gain on disposition of properties for the Funds decreased $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the prior year period due to the sale of 3104 M Street in Fund III during 2019 (Note 2, Note 4).
Interest expense for the Funds decreased $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the prior year period due to $1.5 million from lower average interest rates in 2020 and $0.4 million of additional interest capitalized in 2020. These were offset by a $0.8 million increase related to higher average outstanding borrowings in 2020.
Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests for the Funds increased $41.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the prior year period based on the noncontrolling interests’ share of the variances discussed above. Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests in the Funds includes asset management fees earned by the Company of $4.3 million and $4.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Structured Financing
The results of operations for our Structured Financing segment are depicted in the table above under the headings labeled “SF.” Interest income for the Structured Financing portfolio increased $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the prior year period primarily due to $1.3 million from new notes issued in 2020 and 2019 partially offset by $0.9 million from the payoff of a Fund IV note in 2019 (Note 3).
Unallocated
The Company does not allocate general and administrative expense and income taxes to its reportable segments. These unallocated amounts are depicted in the table above under the headings labeled “Total.” Unallocated income tax benefit increased $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the prior year period due to the newly available carryback of net operating losses under current Federal rules.
SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL MEASURES
Net Property Operating Income
The following discussion of net property operating income (“NOI”) and rent spreads on new and renewal leases includes the activity from both our consolidated and our pro-rata share of unconsolidated properties within our Core Portfolio. Given that the Funds are finite-life investment vehicles, these properties are sold following stabilization. For these reasons, we believe NOI and rent spreads are not meaningful measures for our Fund investments.
NOI represents property revenues less property expenses. We consider NOI and rent spreads on new and renewal leases for our Core Portfolio to be appropriate supplemental disclosures of portfolio operating performance due to their widespread acceptance and use within the REIT investor and analyst communities. NOI and rent spreads on new and renewal leases are presented to assist investors in analyzing our property performance, however, our method of calculating these may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs.

Rent Spreads on Core Portfolio New and Renewal Leases
The following table summarizes rent spreads on both a cash basis and straight-line basis for new and renewal leases based on leases executed within our Core Portfolio for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Cash basis represents a comparison of rent most recently paid on the previous lease as compared to the initial rent paid on the new lease. Straight-line basis represents a comparison of rents as adjusted for contractual escalations, abated rent and lease incentives for the same comparable leases.

Funds from Operations
We consider funds from operations (“FFO”) as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) to be an appropriate supplemental disclosure of operating performance for an equity REIT due to its widespread acceptance and use within the REIT and analyst communities. FFO is presented to assist investors in analyzing our performance. It is helpful as it excludes various items included in net income that are not indicative of the operating performance, such as gains (losses) from sales of depreciated property, depreciation and amortization, and impairment of depreciable real estate. Our method of calculating FFO may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. FFO does not represent cash generated from operations as defined by GAAP and is not indicative of cash available to fund all cash needs, including distributions. It should not be considered as an alternative to net income for the purpose of evaluating our performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Consistent with the NAREIT definition, we define FFO as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (losses) from sales of depreciated property and impairment of depreciable real estate, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. A reconciliation of net income attributable to Acadia to FFO follows (dollars in thousands, except per share amounts):

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Uses of Liquidity and Cash Requirements
Our principal uses of liquidity are (i) distributions to our shareholders and OP unit holders, (ii) investments which include the funding of our capital committed to the Funds and property acquisitions and development/re-tenanting activities within our Core Portfolio, (iii) distributions to our Fund investors, (iv) debt service and loan repayments and (v) share repurchases.
Distributions
In order to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we must distribute at least 90% of our taxable income to our shareholders. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we paid dividends and distributions on our Common Shares, Common OP Units and Preferred OP Units totaling $27.0 million. We have suspended distributions on the Common Shares and Common OP Units for the second quarter of 2020. Our Board of Trustees has not made any decisions regarding our dividend policy beyond the second quarter of 2020 and will closely monitor our financial performance and economic outlook in order to assess when to reinitiate an appropriate dividend to maintain compliance with REIT taxable income requirements.
Investments in Real Estate
During the three months ended March 31, 2020, within our Core portfolio we invested in two properties aggregating $19.2 million inclusive of transaction costs, as follows:
|
• |
On January 9, the Company acquired a retail condominium, 37 Greene Street, located in the SoHo section of New York City, for $15.7 million (Note 2). |
|
• |
On February 13, the Company acquired a fully-occupied, mixed-use building in Chicago, Illinois, for $3.5 million. |
Capital Commitments
During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we made capital contributions aggregating $2.3 million to our Funds. At March 31, 2020, our share of the remaining capital commitments to our Funds aggregated $83.9 million as follows:
|
• |
$2.4 million to Fund III. Fund III was launched in May 2007 with total committed capital of $450.0 million, of which our original share was $89.6 million. During 2015, we acquired an additional interest, which had an original capital commitment of $20.9 million. |
|
• |
$19.9 million to Fund IV. Fund IV was launched in May 2012 with total committed capital of $530.0 million, of which our original share was $122.5 million. |
|
• |
$61.6 million to Fund V. Fund V was launched in August 2016 with total committed capital of $520.0 million, of which our initial share is $104.5 million. |
During April 2018, a distribution was made to the Fund II investors, including $4.3 million to the Operating Partnership, which amount was re-contributed to Fund II in April 2020 (Note 15).
Development Activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2020, capitalized costs associated with development activities totaled $4.6 million (Note 2). At March 31, 2020, we had a total of nine consolidated and one unconsolidated projects under development or redevelopment and the estimated total cost to complete these projects through 2022 was $130.2 million to $169.1 million and our estimated share was approximately $86.6 million to $106.1 million. Substantially all remaining development and redevelopment costs are discretionary and dependent upon the resumption of tenant interest due to aforementioned disruptions related to the COVID-19 Pandemic.

As of March 31, 2020, our consolidated outstanding mortgage and notes payable aggregated $1,834.4 million, excluding unamortized premium of $0.6 million and unamortized loan costs of $9.0 million, and were collateralized by 44 properties and related tenant leases. Interest rates on our outstanding indebtedness ranged from 2.77% to 6.00% with maturities that ranged from May 4, 2020 to April 15, 2035. Taking into consideration $1,038.8 million of notional principal under variable to fixed-rate swap agreements currently in effect, $1,422.6 million of the portfolio debt, or 77.6%, was fixed at a 3.73% weighted-average interest rate and $411.7 million, or 22.4% was floating at a 3.30% weighted average interest rate as of March 31, 2020. Our variable-rate debt includes $143.6 million of debt subject to interest rate caps.
Without regard to available extension options, there is $388.9 million of debt maturing in 2020 at a weighted-average interest rate of 4.43%; there is $4.8 million of scheduled principal amortization due in 2020; and our share of scheduled remaining 2020 principal payments and maturities on our unconsolidated debt was $9.8 million at March 31, 2020. In addition, $333.8 million of our total consolidated debt and $7.9 million of our pro-rata share of unconsolidated debt will come due in 2021. As it relates to the aforementioned maturing debt in 2020 and 2021, we have options to extend consolidated debt aggregating $335.5 million and $195.2 million, respectively; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully execute any or all of its available extension options. For the remaining indebtedness, we may not have sufficient cash on hand to repay such indebtedness, and, therefore, we expect to refinance at least a portion of this indebtedness or select other alternatives based on market conditions as these loans mature; however, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain financing at acceptable terms.
A mortgage loan in the Company’s Core Portfolio for $26.3 million was in default and subject to litigation at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 (Note 7).
Share Repurchase Program
During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we repurchased 1,219,065 Common Shares for $22.4 million, inclusive of $0.1 million of fees, under the share repurchase program at a weighted average price per share of $18.29, under which $122.6 million remains available as of March 31, 2020 (Note 10).
Sources of Liquidity
Our primary sources of capital for funding our liquidity needs include (i) the issuance of both public equity and OP Units, (ii) the issuance of both secured and unsecured debt, (iii) unfunded capital commitments from noncontrolling interests within our Funds, (iv) future sales of existing properties, (v) repayments of structured financing investments, and (vi) cash on hand and future cash flow from operating activities. Our cash on hand in our consolidated subsidiaries at March 31, 2020 totaled $23.4 million. Our remaining sources of liquidity are described further below.
ATM Program
We have an ATM Program (Note 10) which provides us an efficient and low-cost vehicle for raising public equity to fund our capital needs. Through this program, we have been able to effectively “match-fund” the required equity for our Core Portfolio and Fund acquisitions through the issuance of Common Shares over extended periods employing a price averaging strategy. In addition, from time to time, we have issued and intend to continue to issue, equity in follow-on offerings separate from our ATM Program. Net proceeds raised through our ATM Program and follow-on offerings are primarily used for acquisitions, both for our Core Portfolio and our pro-rata share of Fund acquisitions, and for general corporate purposes. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company did not sell any shares under its ATM Program.
52
Fund Capital
During the three months ended March 31, 2020, Funds III and IV called capital contributions of $3.9 million and $5.6 million, respectively, of which our aggregate share was $2.3 million. At March 31, 2020, unfunded capital commitments from noncontrolling interests within our Funds III, IV and V were $7.3 million, $66.3 million and $245.1 million, respectively.
Asset Sales and Structured Financing Transactions
During the three months ended March 31, 2020 the Company had no dispositions or Structured Financing redemptions. Scheduled maturities of Structured Financing loans include $95.1 million maturing in 2020, including one note receivable for $38.7 million, which was converted to the remaining interest in the collateral on April 1, 2020 (Note 15).
Financing and Debt
As of March 31, 2020, we had $213.9 million of additional capacity under existing Core and Fund revolving debt facilities. In addition, at that date within our Core and Fund portfolios, we had 80 unleveraged consolidated properties with an aggregate carrying value of approximately $1.5 billion and one unleveraged unconsolidated property for which our share of the carrying value was $98.5 million, although there can be no assurance that we would be able to obtain financing for these properties at favorable terms, if at all.

Operating Activities
Our operating activities provided $7.9 million more cash during the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019, primarily due to property acquisitions.
Investing Activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019, our investing activities used $2.5 million less cash, primarily due to (i) $47.5 million less cash used in investments in unconsolidated affiliates, (ii) $15.1 million less cash used in acquisition and lease of properties, (iii) $6.6 million less cash used in development, construction and property improvement costs and (iv)$3.4 million less cash received from return of capital from unconsolidated affiliates. These sources of cash were partially offset by (i) $59.0 million more cash used to issue notes receivable, (ii) $9.8 million less cash received from disposition of properties, and (iii) $1.2 million more cash used in leasing activity.
Financing Activities
Our financing activities provided $8.3 million less cash during the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019, primarily from (i) $27.8 million less cash received from the sale of Common Shares, (ii) $24.9 million less cash provided from contributions from noncontrolling interests, (iii) $22.4 million more cash used to repurchase Common Shares, and (iv) $2.4 million more cash used in dividends paid to Common Shareholders. These sources of cash were partially offset by (i) $65.9 million more cash provided from net borrowings and $3.1 million less cash used for financing costs.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We have the following investments made through joint ventures for the purpose of investing in operating properties. We account for these investments using the equity method of accounting. As such, our financial statements reflect our investment and our share of income and loss from, but not the individual assets and liabilities, of these joint ventures.
See Note 4 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for a discussion of our unconsolidated investments. The Operating Partnership’s pro-rata share of unconsolidated non-recourse debt related to those investments is as follows (dollars in millions):

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these Consolidated Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience and assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe there have been no material changes to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies under Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Reference is made to Note 1 for information about recently issued accounting pronouncements.
ITEM 3. |
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK. |
Information as of March 31, 2020
Our primary market risk exposure is to changes in interest rates related to our mortgage and other debt. See Note 7 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for certain quantitative details related to our mortgage and other debt.
Currently, we manage our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates primarily through the use of fixed-rate debt and interest rate swap and cap agreements. As of March 31, 2020, we had total mortgage and other notes payable of $1,834.4 million, excluding the unamortized premium of $0.6 million and unamortized debt issuance costs of $9.0 million, of which $1,422.6 million, or 77.6% was fixed-rate, inclusive of debt with rates fixed through the use of derivative financial instruments, and $411.7 million, or 22.4%, was variable-rate based upon LIBOR or Prime rates plus certain spreads. As of March 31, 2020, we were party to 41 interest rate swaps and four interest rate cap agreements to hedge our exposure to changes in interest rates with respect to $1,038.8 million and $143.6 million of LIBOR-based variable-rate debt, respectively.
The following table sets forth information as of March 31, 2020 concerning our long-term debt obligations, including principal cash flows by scheduled maturity (without regard to available extension options) and weighted average interest rates of maturing amounts (dollars in millions):

Without regard to available extension options, in 2020, $393.6 million of our total consolidated debt and $9.8 million of our pro-rata share of unconsolidated outstanding debt will become due. In addition, $333.8 million of our total consolidated debt and $7.9 million of our pro-rata share of unconsolidated debt will become due in 2021. As it relates to the aforementioned maturing debt in 2020 and 2021, we have options to extend consolidated debt aggregating $335.5 million and $195.2 million, respectively; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able successfully execute any or all of its available extension options. As we intend on refinancing some or all of such debt at the then-existing market interest rates, which may be greater than the current interest rates, our interest expense would increase by approximately $7.5 million annually if the interest rate on the refinanced debt increased by 100 basis points. After giving effect to noncontrolling interests, our share of this increase would be $1.8 million. Interest expense on our variable-rate debt of $411.7 million, net of variable to fixed-rate swap agreements currently in effect, as of March 31, 2020, would increase $4.1 million if LIBOR increased by 100 basis points. After giving effect to noncontrolling interests, our share of this increase would be $1.0 million. We may seek additional variable-rate financing if and when pricing and other commercial and financial terms warrant. As such, we would consider hedging against the interest rate risk related to such additional variable-rate debt through interest rate swaps and protection agreements, or other means.
Based on our outstanding debt balances as of March 31, 2020, the fair value of our total consolidated outstanding debt would decrease by approximately $13.0 million if interest rates increase by 1%. Conversely, if interest rates decrease by 1%, the fair value of our total outstanding debt would increase by approximately $27.4 million.
As of March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, we had consolidated notes receivable of $173.2 million and $114.9 million, respectively. We determined the estimated fair value of our notes receivable by discounting future cash receipts utilizing a discount rate equivalent to the rate at which similar notes receivable would be originated under conditions then existing.
Based on our outstanding notes receivable balances as of March 31, 2020, the fair value of our total outstanding notes receivable would decrease by approximately $2.6 million if interest rates increase by 1%. Conversely, if interest rates decrease by 1%, the fair value of our total outstanding notes receivable would increase by approximately $2.7 million.
Summarized Information as of December 31, 2019
As of December 31, 2019, we had total mortgage and other notes payable of $1,717.9 million, excluding the unamortized premium of $0.7 million and unamortized debt issuance costs of $10.4 million, of which $1,403.3 million, or 81.7% was fixed-rate, inclusive of debt with rates fixed through the use of derivative financial instruments, and $314.6 million, or 18.3%, was variable-rate based upon LIBOR or Prime rates plus certain spreads. As of December 31, 2019, we were party to 40 interest rate swap and four interest rate cap agreements to hedge our exposure to changes in interest rates with respect to $948.8 million and $143.3 million of LIBOR-based variable-rate debt, respectively.
Interest expense on our variable-rate debt of $314.6 million as of December 31, 2019, would have increased $3.1 million if LIBOR increased by 100 basis points. Based on our outstanding debt balances as of December 31, 2019, the fair value of our total outstanding debt would have decreased by approximately $11.5 million if interest rates increased by 1%. Conversely, if interest rates decreased by 1%, the fair value of our total outstanding debt would have increased by approximately $13.6 million.
Changes in Market Risk Exposures from December 31, 2019 to March 31, 2020
Our interest rate risk exposure from December 31, 2019, to March 31, 2020, has increased on an absolute basis, as the $314.6 million of variable-rate debt as of December 31, 2019, has increased to $411.7 million as of March 31, 2020. As a percentage of our overall debt, our interest rate risk exposure has increased as our variable-rate debt accounted for 18.3% of our consolidated debt as of December 31, 2019 compared to 22.4% as of March 31, 2020.

ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our disclosure controls and procedures include internal controls and other procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in this and other reports filed under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the required time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms; and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. It should be noted that no system of controls can provide complete assurance of achieving a company’s objectives and that future events may impact the effectiveness of a system of controls. Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, after conducting an evaluation, together with members of our management, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2020, have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective as of March 31, 2020, at a reasonable level of assurance.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. |
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. |
As previously disclosed in our periodic findings, Acadia Brandywine Holdings, LLC (“Brandywine Holdings”), a consolidated entity in which we have a 22.22% interest, is a party to litigation in connection with a mortgage loan collateralized by a Core Portfolio property held by it (the “Brandywine Loan”). The Brandywine Loan was originated in June 2006 and had an original principal amount of $26.3 million and a scheduled maturity of July 1, 2016. By maturity, the Brandywine Loan was in default. The Brandywine Loan bears interest at a stated rate of approximately 6% and is subject to additional default interest of 5%. In April 2017, the successor to the original lender, Wilmington – 5190 Brandywine Parkway, LLC (the “Successor Lender”), initiated lawsuits against Brandywine Holdings in Delaware Superior Court and Delaware Court of Chancery for, among other things, judgment on the note (the “Note Complaint”) and foreclosure on the property. In a contemporaneously filed action in Delaware Superior Court (the “Guaranty Complaint”), the Successor Lender initiated a lawsuit against the Operating Partnership as guarantor of certain guaranteed obligations of Brandywine Holdings set forth in a non-recourse carve-out guaranty executed by the Operating Partnership. The Guaranty Complaint alleges that the Operating Partnership is liable for the original principal, accrued interest, default interest, late charges, as well as fees, costs and protective advances, under the Brandywine Loan, which the Successor Lender alleges totaled approximately $33.0 million as of November 9, 2017 (exclusive of accruing interest, default interest, late charges, and fees and costs). In August 2019, the Delaware Superior Court heard arguments on the parties’ cross-motions for summary judgement regarding both the Guaranty Complaint and the Note Complaint. On February 7, 2020, the Delaware Superior Court granted in part the Successor Lender’s motion and denied Brandywine Holdings’ and the Operating Partnership’s cross-motion, for summary judgment, finding that each of Brandywine Holdings and the Operating Partnership have recourse liability under the Brandywine Loan and requesting the parties to contact the Court regarding a hearing of any additional outstanding issues. A final judgment against Brandywine Holdings and the Operating Partnership, jointly and severally, for an amount certain (including principal, accrued interest, default interest, late charges, as well as fees and costs, in each case calculated to the date of such judgment) on the Guaranty and Note Complaints has not yet been entered by the Delaware Superior Court. The parties are currently in discussion regarding such amount. Brandywine Holdings and the Operating Partnership intend to appeal the ruling after entry of the judgement by the Delaware Superior Court.
In addition, from time to time, we are a party to various legal proceedings, claims or regulatory inquiries and investigations arising out of, or incident to, our ordinary course of business. While we are unable to predict with certainty the outcome of any particular matter, management does not expect, when such matters are resolved, that our resulting exposure to loss contingencies, if any, will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position.
ITEM 1A. |
RISK FACTORS. |
Except to the extent additional factual information disclosed elsewhere in this Report relates to such risk factors (including, without limitation, the matters discussed in Part I, “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”), there were no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, other than those disclosed below.
57
Actual or perceived threats associated with epidemics, pandemics or other public health crises, including the COVID-19 pandemic, could have a material adverse effect on our and our tenants’ businesses, financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, liquidity, and ability to access the capital markets and satisfy debt service obligations.
Epidemics, pandemics or other public health crises, including the recent COVID-19 pandemic, that impact economic and market conditions, particularly in the markets where our properties are located, and preventative measures taken to alleviate their impact, including mandatory business shutdowns, “shelter-in-place” or “stay-at-home” orders issued by local, state or federal authorities, may have a material adverse effect on our and our tenants’ businesses, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, and ability to access capital markets and satisfy debt service obligations.
Our retail tenants depend on in-person interactions with their customers to generate unit-level profitability, and an epidemic, pandemic or other public health crisis may decrease customer willingness to frequent, and mandated “shelter-in-place” or “stay-at-home” orders have prevented customers from frequenting, our tenants’ businesses, which may result in their inability to maintain profitability and make timely rental payments to us under their leases. We own properties across the United States, including in some of the states that have been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, such as New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and California. As of April 30, 2020, 66% and 71% of Core Portfolio and Fund Portfolio retail tenants, respectively, are considered non-essential businesses and remain closed, totaling approximately 66%, of rents billed in April. We cannot presently determine when or how many of our non-essential tenants will reopen. To date in April 2020, we received over 50% of billed rents and recoveries. We are in the process of negotiating rent concessions, substantially in the form of deferrals, with select tenants. We currently anticipate the above circumstances to negatively impact our revenues for the second quarter 2020 and potentially for the remainder of the year.
Moreover, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and restrictions intended to prevent and mitigate its spread could have additional adverse effects on our business, including with regards to:
|
• |
the ability and willingness of our tenants to renew their leases upon expiration, our ability to re-lease the properties on the same or better terms in the event of nonrenewal or in the event we exercise our right to replace an existing tenant, and obligations we may incur in connection with the replacement of an existing tenant, particularly in light of the adverse impact to the financial health of many retailers that has occurred and continues to occur as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the significant uncertainty as to when and the conditions under which potential tenants will be able to operate physical retail locations in the future; |
|
• |
anticipated returns from development and redevelopment projects, which have been temporarily suspended; |
|
• |
to the extent we were seeking to sell properties in the near term, significantly greater uncertainty regarding our ability to do so at attractive prices, |
|
• |
the broader impact of the severe economic contraction due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the resulting increase in unemployment that has occurred in the short-term and its effect on consumer behavior, and negative consequences that will occur if these trends are not timely reversed; |
|
• |
macroeconomic conditions, such as a disruption of or lack of access to the capital markets and the adverse impact of the recent significant decline in our share price from prices prior to the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic; |
|
• |
our ability to obtain additional indebtedness or pay down, refinance, restructure or extend our indebtedness as it becomes due, and negative impact of reductions in rent on financial covenants on corporate and/or property-level debt; and |
|
• |
potential reduction in our operating effectiveness as employees work remotely or if key personnel become unavailable due to illness or other personal circumstances related to COVID-19, as well as increased cybersecurity risks relating to the use of remote technology. |
The COVID-19 pandemic and restrictions intended to prevent and mitigate its spread have already had a significant adverse impact on economic and market conditions around the world, including the United States and markets where our properties are located, in the first quarter of 2020 and could further trigger a period of sustained global and U.S. economic downturn or recession. While the rapid developments regarding the COVID-19 pandemic preclude any prediction as to its ultimate adverse impact, the current economic, political and social environment presents material risks and uncertainties with respect to our and our tenants’ business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity and ability to access the capital markets and satisfy debt service obligations. Moreover, to the extent any of these risks and uncertainties adversely impact us in the ways described above or otherwise, they may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described under the section entitled “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Exhibit 10.1
ACADIA REALTY TRUST
[ ] LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
AWARD AGREEMENT
[ ] LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN AWARD AGREEMENT made as of the date set forth on Schedule A hereto between Acadia Realty Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust (the “Company”), its subsidiary Acadia Realty Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership and the entity through which the Company conducts substantially all of its operations (the “Partnership”), and the party listed on Schedule A (the “Grantee”).
RECITALS
1.The Grantee is a key employee of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries or affiliates and provides services to the Partnership.
2.The Company has adopted the [ ] Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “LTIP”) pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Acadia Realty Trust 2006 Share Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”), to provide certain key employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries and affiliates, including the Grantee, in connection with their employment with the long-term incentive compensation described in this Award Agreement (this “Agreement” or “Award Agreement”), and thereby provide additional incentive for them to promote the progress and success of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries and affiliates, including the Partnership, while increasing the total return to the Company’s shareholders. The LTIP Units (as defined herein) may, under certain circumstances, become exchangeable for shares of beneficial ownership of the Company reserved for issuance under the Plan, or any successor equity plan. This Agreement evidences an award to the Grantee under the LTIP (this “Award”), which is subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.
3.The Grantee was selected to receive this Award as an employee who, through the effective execution of his or her assigned duties and responsibilities, is in a position to have a direct and measurable impact on the Company’s long-term financial results. Effective as of the grant date specified in Schedule A hereto (the “Grant Date”), the Grantee was issued the number of LTIP Units (as defined herein) set forth in Schedule A.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Company, the Partnership and the Grantee agree as follows:
Section 1.Administration. The LTIP and all awards thereunder, including this Award, shall be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Company (the “Committee”), which in the administration of the LTIP shall have all the powers and authority it has in the administration of the Plan, as set forth in the Plan. The Committee may from time to time adopt any rules or procedures it deems necessary or desirable for the proper and efficient administration of the LTIP, consistent with the terms hereof and of the Plan. The Committee’s determinations and interpretations with respect to the LTIP and this Agreement shall be final and binding on all parties.
ACTIVE/103123317.3
Section 2.Definitions. Capitalized terms used herein without definitions shall have the meanings given to those terms in the Plan. In addition, as used herein:
“Award LTIP Units” has the meaning set forth in Section 3.
“Cause” means the Grantee has: (A) deliberately made a misrepresentation in connection with, or willfully failed to cooperate with, a bona fide internal investigation or an investigation by regulatory or law enforcement authorities, after being instructed by the Company to cooperate, or willfully destroyed or failed to preserve documents or other materials known to be relevant to such investigation, or willfully induced others to fail to cooperate or to produce documents or other materials; (B) materially breached (other than as a result of the Grantee’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness or death) his/her material duties hereunder, which breach is demonstrably willful and deliberate on the Grantee’s part, is committed in bad faith or without reasonable belief that such breach is in the best interests of the Company and such breach is not cured within a reasonable period of time after written notice from the Company specifying such Breach (but in any event, no less than ninety (90) days thereafter) in which Grantee is diligently pursuing cure; (C) engaged in conduct constituting a material act of willful misconduct in connection with the performance of his/her duties, including, without limitation, misappropriation of funds or property of the Company other than the occasional customary and de minimis use of Company property for personal purposes; (D) materially violated a material Company policy, including but not limited to a policy set forth in the Company’s employee handbook; (E) disparaged the Company, its officers, trustees, employees or partners; (F) committed a felony or misdemeanor involving moral turpitude, deceit, dishonesty or fraud.

The Grantee shall have the right to vote the Award LTIP Units if and when voting is allowed under the Partnership Agreement, regardless of whether vesting has occurred.
Section 11.Miscellaneous.
(a)Amendments; Modifications. This Agreement may be amended or modified only with the consent of the Company and the Partnership acting through the Committee; provided that any such amendment or modification materially and adversely affecting the rights of the Grantee hereunder must be consented to by the Grantee to be effective as against him; and provided, further, that the Grantee acknowledges that the Plan may be amended or discontinued in accordance with its terms and that this Agreement may be amended or canceled by the Committee, on behalf of the Company and the Partnership, for the purpose of satisfying changes in law or for any other lawful purpose, so long as no such action shall impair the Grantee’s rights under this Agreement without the Grantee’s written consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended in writing signed only by the Company to correct any errors or ambiguities in this Agreement and/or to make such changes that do not materially adversely affect the Grantee’s rights hereunder. No promises, assurances, commitments, agreements, undertakings or representations, whether oral, written, electronic or otherwise, and whether express or implied, with respect to the subject matter hereof, have been made by the parties which are not set forth expressly in this Agreement. This grant shall in no way affect the Grantee’s participation or benefits under any other plan or benefit program maintained or provided by the Company.
(b)Incorporation of Plan; Committee Determinations. The provisions of the Plan are hereby incorporated by reference as if set forth herein. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the Plan, this Agreement shall be controlling and determinative. The Committee will make the determinations and certifications required by this Award as promptly as reasonably practicable following the occurrence of the event or events necessitating such determinations or certifications.
(c)Status of LTIP Units under the Plan. Insofar as the LTIP has been established as an incentive program of the Company and the Partnership, the Award LTIP Units are both issued as equity securities of the Partnership and granted as awards under the Plan. The Company will have the right at its option, as set forth in the Partnership Agreement, to issue Common Shares in exchange for Units into which Award LTIP Units may have been converted pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, subject to certain limitations set forth in the Partnership Agreement, and such Common Shares, if issued, will be issued under the Plan. The Grantee must be eligible to
7
ACTIVE/103123317.3
receive the Award LTIP Units in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws and to that effect is required to complete, execute and deliver certain covenants, representations and warranties (attached as Exhibit B). The Grantee acknowledges that the Grantee will have no right to approve or disapprove such eligibility determination by the Committee.
(d)Legend. If certificates are issued evidencing the Award LTIP Units, the records of the Partnership shall bear an appropriate legend, as determined by the Partnership in its sole discretion, to the effect that such Award LTIP Units are subject to restrictions as set forth herein, in the Plan and in the Partnership Agreement.
(e)Compliance with Securities Laws. The Partnership and the Grantee will make reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable securities laws. In addition, notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no Award LTIP Units will become vested or be issued at a time that such vesting or issuance would result in a violation of any such laws.
(f)Investment Representations; Registration. The Grantee hereby makes the covenants, representations and warranties and set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto. All of such covenants, warranties and representations shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Grantee. The Partnership will have no obligation to register under the Securities Act any LTIP Units or any other securities issued pursuant to this Agreement or upon conversion or exchange of LTIP Units. In addition, any resale shall be made in compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act or an applicable exemption therefrom, including, without limitation, the exemption provided by Rule 144 promulgated thereunder (or any successor rule).
(g)Policy for Recoupment of Incentive Compensation. “Covered Officer” means any officer of the Company who (i) is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16 of the Exchange Act. The Company will endeavor to inform the Grantee if the Grantee is designated as a “Covered Officer,” it being understood, however, that failure to notify the Grantee will have no effect on the rights of the Company under the policy. If the Grantee is a Covered Officer, the Grantee hereby agrees that this Award and all compensation consisting of annual cash bonus and long-term incentive compensation in any form (including stock options, restricted stock and LTIP Units, whether time-based or performance-based) (“Incentive Compensation”) awarded to the Grantee prior to the date hereof is subject to recoupment under the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, as in effect from time to time. For the avoidance of doubt, the purpose and effect of the foregoing agreement by the Grantee is to make such policy effective both prospectively and retroactively. As an example, in addition to this Award, Incentive Compensation previously awarded in the past, prior to this policy being in effect, is subject to such policy and is applicable to the Grantee if he or she was a Covered Officers during any relevant period even if he or she is no longer an employee of the Company at the time the determination to recoup Incentive Compensation is made.
(h)Severability. If, for any reason, any provision of this Agreement is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement not so held invalid, and each such other provision shall to the full extent consistent with law continue in full force and effect. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid in part, such invalidity shall in no way affect the rest of such provision not held so invalid, and the rest of such provision, together with all other
8
ACTIVE/103123317.3
provisions of this Agreement, shall to the full extent consistent with law continue in full force and effect.
(i)Governing Law. This Agreement is made under, and will be construed in accordance with, the laws of State of Delaware, without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws of such state.
(j)No Obligation to Continue Position as an Employee, Consultant or Advisor. Neither the Company nor any affiliate is obligated by or as a result of this Agreement to continue to have the Grantee as an employee, consultant or advisor, and this Agreement shall not interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any affiliate to terminate the Grantee’s service relationship at any time.
(k)Notices. Any notice to be given to the Company shall be addressed to the Secretary of the Company at its principal place of business and any notice to be given the Grantee shall be addressed to the Grantee at the Grantee’s address as it appears on the employment records of the Company, or at such other address as the Company or the Grantee may hereafter designate in writing to the other.
(l)Withholding and Taxes. No later than the date as of which an amount first becomes includible in the gross income of the Grantee for income tax purposes or subject to the Federal Insurance Contributions Act withholding with respect to this Award, the Grantee will pay to the Company or, if appropriate, any of its affiliates, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee regarding the payment of, any United States federal, state or local or foreign taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such amount. The obligations of the Company under this Agreement will be conditional on such payment or arrangements, and the Company and its affiliates shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment otherwise due to the Grantee.
(m)Headings. The headings of paragraphs hereof are included solely for convenience of reference and shall not control the meaning or interpretation of any of the provisions of this Agreement.
(n)Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts with the same effect as if each of the signing parties had signed the same document. All counterparts shall be construed together and constitute the same instrument.
(o)Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and any successors to the Company and the Partnership, on the one hand, and any successors to the Grantee, on the other hand, by will or the laws of descent and distribution, but this Agreement shall not otherwise be assignable or otherwise subject to hypothecation by the Grantee.
(p)Complete Agreement. This Agreement (together with those agreements and documents expressly referred to herein, for the purposes referred to herein) embody the complete and entire agreement and understanding between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersede any and all prior promises, assurances, commitments, agreements,
9
ACTIVE/103123317.3
undertakings or representations, whether oral, written, electronic or otherwise, and whether express or implied, which may relate to the subject matter hereof in any way.

On the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, as well as the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Grantee is hereby granted this Award consisting of the number of LTIP Units set forth on Schedule A hereto, which is incorporated herein by reference (the “Award LTIP Units”). Award LTIP Units shall have the rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to distributions, qualifications and terms and conditions of redemption and conversion set forth herein and in the Partnership Agreement and shall constitute and be treated as the property of the Grantee, subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Partnership Agreement. In connection with each subsequent issuance of Award LTIP Units, if any, the Grantee shall execute and deliver to the Company and the Partnership such documents, comparable to the documents executed and delivered in connection with this Agreement, as the Company and/or the Partnership reasonably request in order to comply with all applicable legal requirements, including, without limitation, federal and state securities laws. Award LTIP Units will be subject to vesting as provided in Section 4 hereof, subject to the terms and conditions of Sections 5 and 6.
(b)Effectiveness of Award. As of the Grant Date, the Grantee shall be admitted as a partner of the Partnership with beneficial ownership of the number of Award LTIP Units issued to the Grantee as of such date by: (A) signing and delivering to the Partnership a copy of this Agreement; and (B) signing, as a Limited Partner, and delivering to the Partnership a counterpart signature page to the Partnership Agreement (attached hereto as Exhibit B). The Partnership Agreement shall be amended from time to time as applicable to reflect the issuance to the Grantee of Award LTIP Units, whereupon the Grantee shall have all the rights of a Limited Partner of the Partnership with respect to the number of LTIP Units then held by the Grantee, as set forth in the Partnership Agreement, subject, however, to the restrictions and conditions specified herein and in the Partnership Agreement.
Section 4.Vesting of Award LTIP Units. The Award LTIP Units are subject to time-based vesting and performance-based vesting, as follows.
(a)Time-Based LTIP Units. With respect to the Award LTIP Units listed on Schedule A as Time-Based LTIP Units (the “Time-Based LTIP Units”), vesting shall occur in substantially equal installments commencing on [ ], and on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries thereof (each a “Vesting Date”), subject to the Grantee’s continuous employment with the Company through each applicable Vesting Date.
(b)Performance-Based LTIP Units. With respect to the Award LTIP Units listed on Schedule A as Performance-Based Special LTIP Units (the “Performance-Based LTIP Units”), such Performance-Based LTIP Units shall be earned and thereafter vest if and only to the extent the performance criteria set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto for the Performance Period are achieved, subject to the Grantee’s continuous employment with the Company through the end of the Performance Period. Promptly following the conclusion of the Performance Period, but in no
5
ACTIVE/103121846.3
event later than forty-five (45) days thereafter, the Company shall determine (and the Committee shall certify) whether and to what extent such performance criteria were achieved and determine the Performance Percentage (as defined on Exhibit A attached hereto) and the number of Performance-Based LTIP Units subject to this Award, if any, that are earned. For the avoidance of doubt, the Grantee shall have no rights to the Performance-Based LTIP Units pursuant to this Section 4(b) until the Committee has determined that such Performance-Based LTIP Units have been earned.
(i)If the number of earned Performance-Based LTIP Units is smaller than the number of Performance-Based LTIP Units previously issued to the Grantee, then the Grantee, as of the Valuation Date, shall forfeit a number of Performance-Based LTIP Units equal to the difference without payment of any consideration by the Partnership; thereafter, the term “Performance-Based LTIP Units” will only refer to the Performance-Based LTIP Units that were not so forfeited, and neither the Grantee nor any of his/her successors, heirs, assigns or personal representatives will thereafter have any future rights or interests in the LTIP Units that were so forfeited. If the number of earned Performance-Based LTIP Units is the same as the number of Performance-Based LTIP Units previously issued to the Grantee, then there will be no change to the number of Performance-Based LTIP Units under this Award pursuant to this Section 4.
(ii) If any of the Performance-Based LTIP Units have been earned based on performance as provided in Section 4(b), subject to Sections 5 and 6 hereof, the Performance-Based LTIP Units shall become vested in the following amounts and at the following times, subject to the Grantee’s continuous employment with the Company through and on the applicable vesting date, or the accelerated vesting date provided in Sections 5 and 6 hereof, as applicable:
(A)Sixty percent (60%) of the earned Performance-Based LTIP Units shall become vested on [ ]; and
(B)Forty percent (40%) of the earned Performance-Based LTIP Units shall become vested in substantially equal installments on each of [ ] and [ ].
(iii) Any Performance-Based LTIP Units that do not become vested pursuant to Section 4(b)(iii), or Sections 5 and 6 hereof, as applicable, shall, without payment of any consideration by the Company or the Partnership, automatically and without notice be forfeited and be and become null and void, and neither the Grantee nor any of his or her successors, heirs, assigns, or personal representatives will thereafter have any further rights or interests in such unvested Performance-Based LTIP Units.
(c)Except as otherwise provided in the Plan and subject to Section 5 and 6, the Award LTIP Units shall not be transferable unless and until (and solely to the extent) the Grantee satisfies the vesting requirements contained in Section 4. In addition, notwithstanding anything herein or in the Plan to the contrary (and without limiting the transfer restrictions in Section 9), the Grantee shall not, without the consent of the Committee (which may be withheld in its sole discretion), Transfer any vested Award LTIP Units prior to the earlier to occur of (a) the second (2nd) anniversary of the date on which such Award LTIP Units become vested under Section 4, 5 or 6 and (b) the occurrence of a Change of Control (collectively, the “Additional Transfer
6
ACTIVE/103121846.3
Restrictions”); provided, however, that the Additional Transfer Restrictions shall not apply to (i) any Transfer of shares to the Company, (ii) any Transfer of shares in satisfaction of any withholding obligations with respect to the Award LTIP Units, or (iii) any Transfer following the termination of the Grantee’s employment with the Company and its Affiliates, including without limitation by will or pursuant to the laws of descent and distribution. Any Transfer of the Award LTIP Units which is not made in compliance with the Plan and this Agreement shall be null and void and of no effect.
Section 5.Termination of Grantee’s Employment.
(a)Termination Generally. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5, (i) if the Grantee’s employment with the Company is voluntarily or involuntarily terminated for any reason prior to the final Vesting Date with respect to the Time-Based LTIP Units, all such Time-Based LTIP Units which have not yet vested shall immediately and automatically be forfeited and returned to the Company; and (ii) if the Grantee’s employment with the Company is voluntarily or involuntarily terminated for any reason prior to the end of the Performance Period with respect to the Performance-Based LTIP Units, such Performance-Based LTIP Units which have not yet been earned shall immediately and automatically be forfeited and returned to the Company.
(b)Qualifying Termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and notwithstanding the terms of any employment, consulting or similar service agreement(s) then in effect between the Grantee, on the one hand, and the Company and/or the Partnership on the other hand (a “Service Agreement”), the Award LTIPs shall be treated as follows in the event of certain terminations of employment:
(i)Time-Based LTIP Units. If, prior to the final Vesting Date (or, if sooner, the date of a Change of Control), the Grantee’s employment or service relationship with the Company (i) is terminated by the Company without Cause, (ii) is terminated by the Grantee for Good Reason or (iii) terminates due to the Grantee’s death or Disability (each of (i), (ii) and (iii), a “Qualifying Termination”), then all unvested Time-Based LTIP Units outstanding as of the date of such Qualifying Termination shall accelerate and become vested in full.
(ii)Performance-Based LTIP Units. If, prior to the end of the Performance Period (or, if sooner, the date of a Change of Control), the Grantee experiences a Qualifying Termination, then the Performance-Based LTIP Units shall remain outstanding following such Qualifying Termination and will be subject to the same conditions as are otherwise set forth herein, and the vesting of such Performance-Based LTIP Units will be determined pursuant to the performance criteria set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto in the same manner as they would have been in the absence of a Qualifying Termination. In addition, the service requirements pursuant to Section 4(b)(iii) hereof shall be deemed satisfied.
Section 6.Change of Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing and further notwithstanding any provision of the Grantee’s Service Agreement, if applicable, to the contrary, the Award LTIP Units shall be treated as follows upon the occurrence of a Change of Control.
7
ACTIVE/103121846.3
(a)Time-Based LTIP Units. If a Change of Control occurs prior to the final Vesting Date, then all unvested Time-Based LTIP Units shall accelerate and become vested in full upon the consummation of such Change of Control.
(b)Performance-Based LTIP Units. If a Change of Control occurs prior to the end of the Performance Period, then the Grantee will be deemed to have earned the number of Performance-Based LTIP Units based on the performance criteria set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto, calculated from the Effective Date through the date of the Public Announcement of the Change of Control. In addition, the service requirements pursuant to Section 4(b)(iii) hereof shall be deemed satisfied, subject to the Grantee’s continuous employment with the Company through the consummation of the Change of Control, or, if earlier, the date the Grantee experiences a Qualifying Termination.
Section 7.Payments by Award Recipients. A capital contribution in the amount of $0.01 per Award LTIP Unit shall be payable to the Company or the Partnership by the Grantee in respect of this Award, with such amount being netted against cash compensation otherwise payable to the Grantee.
Section 8.Distributions. To the extent provided for in the Partnership Agreement, the Grantee shall be entitled to receive distributions with respect to the Award LTIP Units. The Performance-Based LTIP Units shall be designated as “Special LTIP Units” under the Partnership Agreement. In the event of any discrepancy or inconsistency between this Section 8 and the Partnership Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Partnership Agreement shall control. For purposes of this Section 8, all capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Partnership Agreement.
(a)Time-Based LTIP Units. The Time-Based LTIP Units shall be treated as “LTIP Units” under the Partnership Agreement and shall not be designated as “Special LTIP Units.” As of the Grant Date, the Time-Based LTIP Units shall be entitled to the full distribution payable on Units outstanding as of the record date for the quarterly distribution period during which the Time-Based LTIP Units are issued, even though it will not have been outstanding for the whole period, and to subsequent distributions. All distributions paid with respect to the Time-Based LTIP Units shall be fully vested and non-forfeitable when paid whether the underlying Time-Based LTIP Units are vested or unvested.
(b)Performance-Based LTIP Units. The Performance-Based LTIP Units shall be designated as “Special LTIP Units” under the Partnership Agreement. With respect to the Performance-Based LTIP Units and to the extent provided for in the Partnership Agreement, the Special LTIP Unit Full Distribution Participation Date shall be the Valuation Date; provided that prior to such date, Performance-Based LTIP Units shall be entitled to receive the Special LTIP Unit Sharing Percentage (i.e., ten percent (10%)) of the distributions payable on Units outstanding as of the record date for the quarterly distribution periods occurring during the Performance Period. For the avoidance of doubt, after the Valuation Date, Performance-Based LTIP Units, both vested and (until and unless forfeited pursuant to Section 4(b)(iv) or Section 5(a)) unvested, shall be entitled to receive the same distributions payable with respect to Units if the payment date for such distributions is after the Valuation Date, even though the Partnership Record Date for such distributions is before the Valuation Date. All distributions paid with respect to Performance-
8
ACTIVE/103121846.3
Based LTIP Units, both before and after the Valuation Date, shall be fully vested and non-forfeitable when paid, whether or not the underlying LTIP Units have been earned based on performance or have become vested based on the passage of time as provided in Section 4 hereof. Subsequent to the Special LTIP Unit Full Distribution Participation Date, vested Performance-Based LTIP Units may be entitled to receive the Interim Distribution Amount to the extent provided for in the Partnership Agreement.
Section 9.Restrictions on Transfer. None of the Award LTIP Units shall be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of or encumbered (whether voluntarily or involuntarily or by judgment, levy, attachment, garnishment or other legal or equitable proceeding) (each such action a “Transfer”), or redeemed in accordance with the Partnership Agreement (a) prior to vesting, (b) for a period of two (2) years beginning on the Grant Date other than in connection with a Change of Control, and (c) unless such Transfer is in compliance with all applicable securities laws (including, without limitation, the Securities Act, and such Transfer is in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions of the Partnership Agreement; provided that, upon the approval of, and subject to the terms and conditions specified by, the Committee, unvested Award LTIP Units that have been held for a period of at least two (2) years may be Transferred to (i) the spouse, children or grandchildren of the Grantee (“Immediate Family Members”), (ii) a trust or trusts for the exclusive benefit of the Grantee and such Immediate Family Members, (iii) a partnership in which the Grantee and such Immediate Family Members are the only partners, or (iv) one or more entities in which the Grantee has a ten percent (10%) or greater equity interest, provided that the Transferee agrees in writing with the Company and the Partnership to be bound by all the terms and conditions of this Agreement and that subsequent transfers of unvested Award LTIP Units shall be prohibited except those in accordance with this Section 9. In connection with any Transfer of Award LTIP Units, the Partnership may require the Grantee to provide an opinion of counsel, satisfactory to the Partnership, that such Transfer is in compliance with all federal and state securities laws (including, without limitation, the Securities Act). Any attempted Transfer of Award LTIP Units not in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 9 shall be null and void, and the Partnership shall not reflect on its records any change in record ownership of any LTIP Units as a result of any such Transfer, shall otherwise refuse to recognize any such Transfer and shall not in any way give effect to any such Transfer of any LTIP Units. This Agreement is personal to the Grantee, is non-assignable and is not transferable in any manner, by operation of law or otherwise, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.
Section 10.Changes in Capital Structure. Without duplication with the provisions of the Plan, if (a) the outstanding Common Shares are changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities of the Company by reason of any recapitalization, reclassification, share split, share dividend, combination or subdivision, merger, consolidation, or other similar transaction or (b) any other event shall occur that in each case in the good faith judgment of the Committee necessitates action by way of appropriate equitable adjustment in the terms of this Award, the LTIP or the LTIP Units, then the Committee shall take such action as it deems necessary to maintain the Grantee’s rights hereunder so that they are substantially proportionate to the rights existing under this Award, the LTIP and the terms of the LTIP Units prior to such event, including, without limitation: (i) adjustments in the Award LTIP Units and (ii) substitution of other awards under the Plan or otherwise. The Grantee shall have the right to vote
9
ACTIVE/103121846.3
the Award LTIP Units if and when voting is allowed under the Partnership Agreement, regardless of whether vesting has occurred.
Section 11.Miscellaneous.
(a)Amendments; Modifications. This Agreement may be amended or modified only with the consent of the Company and the Partnership acting through the Committee; provided that any such amendment or modification materially and adversely affecting the rights of the Grantee hereunder must be consented to by the Grantee to be effective as against him; and provided, further, that the Grantee acknowledges that the Plan may be amended or discontinued in accordance with its terms and that this Agreement may be amended or canceled by the Committee, on behalf of the Company and the Partnership, for the purpose of satisfying changes in law or for any other lawful purpose, so long as no such action shall impair the Grantee’s rights under this Agreement without the Grantee’s written consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended in writing signed only by the Company to correct any errors or ambiguities in this Agreement and/or to make such changes that do not materially adversely affect the Grantee’s rights hereunder. No promises, assurances, commitments, agreements, undertakings or representations, whether oral, written, electronic or otherwise, and whether express or implied, with respect to the subject matter hereof, have been made by the parties which are not set forth expressly in this Agreement. This grant shall in no way affect the Grantee’s participation or benefits under any other plan or benefit program maintained or provided by the Company.
(b)Incorporation of Plan; Committee Determinations. The provisions of the Plan are hereby incorporated by reference as if set forth herein. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the Plan, this Agreement shall be controlling and determinative. The Committee will make the determinations and certifications required by this Award as promptly as reasonably practicable following the occurrence of the event or events necessitating such determinations or certifications.
(c)Status of LTIP Units under the Plan. Insofar as the LTIP has been established as an incentive program of the Company and the Partnership, the Award LTIP Units are both issued as equity securities of the Partnership and granted as awards under the Plan. The Company will have the right at its option, as set forth in the Partnership Agreement, to issue Common Shares in exchange for Units into which Award LTIP Units may have been converted pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, subject to certain limitations set forth in the Partnership Agreement, and such Common Shares, if issued, will be issued under the Plan. The Grantee must be eligible to receive the Award LTIP Units in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws and to that effect is required to complete, execute and deliver certain covenants, representations and warranties (attached as Exhibit C). The Grantee acknowledges that the Grantee will have no right to approve or disapprove such eligibility determination by the Committee.
(d)Legend. If certificates are issued evidencing the Award LTIP Units, the records of the Partnership shall bear an appropriate legend, as determined by the Partnership in its sole discretion, to the effect that such Award LTIP Units are subject to restrictions as set forth herein, in the Plan and in the Partnership Agreement.
10
ACTIVE/103121846.3
(e)Compliance with Securities Laws. The Partnership and the Grantee will make reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable securities laws. In addition, notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no Award LTIP Units will become vested or be issued at a time that such vesting or issuance would result in a violation of any such laws.
(f)Investment Representations; Registration. The Grantee hereby makes the covenants, representations and warranties and set forth on Exhibit C attached hereto. All of such covenants, warranties and representations shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Grantee. The Partnership will have no obligation to register under the Securities Act any LTIP Units or any other securities issued pursuant to this Agreement or upon conversion or exchange of LTIP Units. In addition, any resale shall be made in compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act or an applicable exemption therefrom, including, without limitation, the exemption provided by Rule 144 promulgated thereunder (or any successor rule).
(g)Policy for Recoupment of Incentive Compensation. “Covered Officer” means any officer of the Company who (i) is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16 of the Exchange Act. The Company will endeavor to inform the Grantee if the Grantee is designated as a “Covered Officer,” it being understood, however, that failure to notify the Grantee will have no effect on the rights of the Company under the policy. If the Grantee is a Covered Officer, the Grantee hereby agrees that this Award and all compensation consisting of annual cash bonus and long-term incentive compensation in any form (including stock options, restricted stock and LTIP Units, whether time-based or performance-based) (“Incentive Compensation”) awarded to the Grantee prior to the date hereof is subject to recoupment under the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, as in effect from time to time. For the avoidance of doubt, the purpose and effect of the foregoing agreement by the Grantee is to make such policy effective both prospectively and retroactively. As an example, in addition to this Award, Incentive Compensation previously awarded in the past, prior to this policy being in effect, is subject to such policy and is applicable to the Grantee if he or she was a Covered Officers during any relevant period even if he or she is no longer an employee of the Company at the time the determination to recoup Incentive Compensation is made.
(h)Severability. If, for any reason, any provision of this Agreement is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement not so held invalid, and each such other provision shall to the full extent consistent with law continue in full force and effect. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid in part, such invalidity shall in no way affect the rest of such provision not held so invalid, and the rest of such provision, together with all other provisions of this Agreement, shall to the full extent consistent with law continue in full force and effect.
(i)Governing Law. This Agreement is made under, and will be construed in accordance with, the laws of State of Delaware, without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws of such state.
(j)No Obligation to Continue Position as an Employee, Consultant or Advisor. Neither the Company nor any affiliate is obligated by or as a result of this Agreement to continue to have the Grantee as an employee, consultant or advisor, and this Agreement shall not interfere
11
ACTIVE/103121846.3
in any way with the right of the Company or any affiliate to terminate the Grantee’s service relationship at any time.
(k)Notices. Any notice to be given to the Company shall be addressed to the Secretary of the Company at its principal place of business and any notice to be given the Grantee shall be addressed to the Grantee at the Grantee’s address as it appears on the employment records of the Company, or at such other address as the Company or the Grantee may hereafter designate in writing to the other.
(l)Withholding and Taxes. No later than the date as of which an amount first becomes includible in the gross income of the Grantee for income tax purposes or subject to the Federal Insurance Contributions Act withholding with respect to this Award, the Grantee will pay to the Company or, if appropriate, any of its affiliates, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee regarding the payment of, any United States federal, state or local or foreign taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such amount. The obligations of the Company under this Agreement will be conditional on such payment or arrangements, and the Company and its affiliates shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment otherwise due to the Grantee.
(m)Headings. The headings of paragraphs hereof are included solely for convenience of reference and shall not control the meaning or interpretation of any of the provisions of this Agreement.
(n)Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts with the same effect as if each of the signing parties had signed the same document. All counterparts shall be construed together and constitute the same instrument.
(o)Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and any successors to the Company and the Partnership, on the one hand, and any successors to the Grantee, on the other hand, by will or the laws of descent and distribution, but this Agreement shall not otherwise be assignable or otherwise subject to hypothecation by the Grantee.
(p)Complete Agreement. This Agreement (together with those agreements and documents expressly referred to herein, for the purposes referred to herein) embody the complete and entire agreement and understanding between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersede any and all prior promises, assurances, commitments, agreements, undertakings or representations, whether oral, written, electronic or otherwise, and whether express or implied, which may relate to the subject matter hereof in any way.

Performance Metrics
1.Earned Performance-Based LTIP Units. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Award, the number of earned Performance-Based LTIP Units shall be calculated by reference to the respective Performance Percentage for each of the SNL US REIT Retail Shopping Center Index and the SNL US REIT Retail Index, as follows:
Total Earned Performance-Based LTIP Units = (2/3)*(I1)*(X) + (1/3)*(I2)*(X)
Where:
|
I1 = |
the Performance Percentage determined for the SNL US REIT Retail Shopping Center Index. |
|
I2 = |
the Performance Percentage determined for the SNL US REIT Retail Index. |
|
X = |
the number of Performance-Based LTIP Units as set forth on Schedule A attached hereto. |
2.Performance Percentage. The percentage of the Performance-Based LTIP Units subject to each index measurement (each, a “Performance Percentage”) will be based on the percentile rank of the Company’s TSR relative to the constituents of each of the SNL US REIT Retail Shopping Center Index and the SNL US REIT Retail Index, respectively, for the Performance Period, as set forth in the table below. To the extent that actual performance for the Performance Period falls between the percentile ranks set forth below (but exceeds the level needed for a Performance Percentage equal to 25%), the Performance Percentage shall be determined through linear interpolation.
Level |
Percentile Rank |
Performance Percentage |
Threshold |
25th Percentile |
25% |
Target |
50th Percentile |
50% |
Maximum |
75th Percentile |
100% |
The percentile rank above shall be calculated for each applicable index using the following conventions:
Percentile Rank = Y
Z
ACTIVE/103121846.3
|
Y = |
the number of index members in either (i) the SNL US REIT Retail Shopping Center Index or (ii) the SNL US REIT Retail Index, as applicable, with an Index Member Return lower than the Company’s TSR during the Performance Period. |
|
Z = |
the total number of index members in either (i) the SNL US REIT Retail Shopping Center Index or (ii) the SNL US REIT Retail Index, as applicable, minus 1. |
If Percentile Rank as calculated above is a not a whole number, then the award earned shall be calculated as if the calculation resulted in a percentile rank equal to the next highest whole integer.
3.Change of Control. If a Change of Control occurs prior to the end of the Performance Period, then the earned Performance-Based LTIP Units shall be determined on the date of the Public Announcement of the Change of Control; provided that, in such case, the Performance Period shall be deemed to be the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending on the date of the Public Announcement of such Change of Control.
4.Definitions. Defined terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in this Agreement or in the Plan, as applicable. For purposes of this Exhibit A, the following terms shall have the following meanings:
(a)“Index Member Return” means, with respect to the Performance Period, the return of each member of either (i) the SNL US REIT Retail Shopping Center Index or (ii) the SNL US REIT Retail Index over the Performance Period, as applicable, calculated in the same manner as the Company’s TSR. For the avoidance of doubt, the intent of the Committee is that Index Member Return over the Performance Period be calculated in a manner designed to produce a fair comparison between the Company’s TSR and the Index Member Return for the purpose of determining Relative Performance and therefore calculating the earned portion of the Performance-Based LTIP Units.
(b)“Relative Performance” means the percentile rank of the Company’s TSR relative to the applicable Index Member Return for the Performance Period.
(c)“TSR” means, with respect to the Performance Period, the total compounded annual percentage return per Common Share (assuming contemporaneous reinvestment of all dividends and other distributions declared and paid) expressed as a percentage, based on the Fair Market Value of one Common Share on the Effective Date and the Fair Market Value of one Common Share on the Valuation Date (or the date of the Public Announcement of a Change of Control, if applicable), as so calculated by the Company and certified by the Company’s compensation consultant. As set forth in, and pursuant to, Section 10 of this Agreement, appropriate adjustments to the TSR shall be made to take into account all stock dividends, stock splits, reverse stock splits and the other events set forth in Section 10 that occur during the Performance Period.
