FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus may contain or incorporate by reference forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements related to our expectations regarding the performance of our business, our financial results, our liquidity and capital resources and other non-historical statements. You can identify these forward-looking statements by the use of words such as outlook, believes, expects, potential,
continues, may, will, should, seeks, projects, predicts, intends, plans, estimates, anticipates, or the negative
version of these words or other comparable words. Such forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties.
Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause actual outcomes or results to differ materially from those indicated in
these statements. We believe these factors include but are not limited to those described under the section entitled Risk Factors in Item 1A of our most recent Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on February 7, 2022, as such factors may be updated from time to time in our periodic filings with the SEC, which
are accessible on the SECs website at https://www.sec.gov.
These factors include (1) changes in national,
regional, and local economies, due to global events such as international military conflicts, international trade disputes, a foreign debt crisis, or foreign currency volatility, or due to domestic issues, such as government policies and
regulations, tariffs, energy prices, market dynamics, rising interest rates, inflation, or unemployment, or limited growth in consumer income or spending; (2) local real estate market conditions, including an oversupply of space in, or a
reduction in demand for, properties similar to those in our Portfolio; (3) competition from other available properties or e-commerce, and the attractiveness of properties in our Portfolio to our
tenants; (4) disruption and/or consolidation in the retail sector, the financial stability of our tenants, and the overall financial condition of large retailing companies, including their ability to pay rent and/or expense reimbursements that
are due to us; (5) in the case of percentage rents, the sales volume of our tenants; (6) increases in property operating expenses, including common area expenses, utilities, insurance, and real estate taxes, which are relatively inflexible
and generally do not decrease if revenue or occupancy decrease; (7) increases in the costs to repair, renovate, and re-lease space; (8) earthquakes, wildfires, tornadoes, hurricanes, damage
from rising sea levels due to climate change, other natural disasters, epidemics and/or pandemics, including the current pandemic of the novel coronavirus, civil unrest, terrorist acts, or acts of war, any of which may result in uninsured
or underinsured losses; and (9) changes in laws and governmental regulations, including those governing usage, zoning, the environment and taxes. These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the
other cautionary statements that are included in this prospectus and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and other periodic filings. The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this
prospectus, and we expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments, or otherwise, except to the extent otherwise required by
law.
