EXPLANATORY NOTE
This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2026 of Simon Property Group, Inc., an Indiana corporation, and Simon Property Group, L.P., an Indiana limited partnership. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to “Simon” mean Simon Property Group, Inc. and references to the “Operating Partnership” mean Simon Property Group, L.P. References to “we,” “us” and “our” mean collectively Simon, the Operating Partnership and those entities/subsidiaries owned or controlled by Simon and/or the Operating Partnership.
Simon is a real estate investment trust, or REIT, under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Internal Revenue Code. We are structured as an umbrella partnership REIT under which substantially all of our business is conducted through the Operating Partnership, Simon’s majority-owned partnership subsidiary, for which Simon is the general partner. As of March 31, 2026, Simon owned an approximate 85.3% ownership interest in the Operating Partnership, with the remaining 14.7% ownership interest owned by limited partners. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, Simon has exclusive control of the Operating Partnership’s day-to-day management.
We operate Simon and the Operating Partnership as one business. The management of Simon consists of the same members as the management of the Operating Partnership. As general partner with control of the Operating Partnership, Simon consolidates the Operating Partnership for financial reporting purposes, and Simon has no material assets or liabilities other than its investment in the Operating Partnership. Therefore, the assets and liabilities of Simon and the Operating Partnership are the same on their respective financial statements.
We believe that combining the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of Simon and the Operating Partnership into this single report provides the following benefits:
| ● | enhances investors’ understanding of Simon and the Operating Partnership by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business; |
| ● | eliminates duplicative disclosure and provides a more streamlined presentation since substantially all of the disclosure in this report applies to both Simon and the Operating Partnership; and |
| ● | creates time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports. |
We believe it is important for investors to understand the few differences between Simon and the Operating Partnership in the context of how we operate as a consolidated company. The primary difference is that Simon itself does not conduct business, other than acting as the general partner of the Operating Partnership and issuing equity or equity-related instruments from time to time. In addition, Simon itself does not incur any indebtedness, as all debt is incurred by the Operating Partnership or entities/subsidiaries owned or controlled by the Operating Partnership.
The Operating Partnership holds, directly or indirectly, substantially all of our assets, including our ownership interests in our joint ventures. The Operating Partnership conducts substantially all of our business and is structured as a partnership with no publicly traded equity. Except for the net proceeds from equity issuances by Simon, which are contributed to the capital of the Operating Partnership in exchange for, in the case of common stock issuances by Simon, common units of partnership interest in the Operating Partnership, or units, or, in the case of preferred stock issuances by Simon, preferred units of partnership interest in the Operating Partnership, or preferred units, the Operating Partnership, directly or indirectly, generates the capital required by our business through its operations, the incurrence of indebtedness, proceeds received from the disposition of certain properties and joint ventures and the issuance of units or preferred units to third parties.
The presentation of stockholders’ equity, partners’ equity and noncontrolling interests are the main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of Simon and those of the Operating Partnership. The differences between stockholders’ equity and partners’ equity result from differences in the equity issued at the Simon and Operating Partnership levels. The units held by limited partners in the Operating Partnership are accounted for as partners’ equity in the Operating Partnership’s financial statements and as noncontrolling interests in Simon’s financial statements. The noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership’s financial statements include the interests of unaffiliated partners in various consolidated partnerships. The noncontrolling interests in Simon’s financial statements include the same noncontrolling interests at the Operating Partnership level and, as previously stated, the units held by limited partners of the Operating Partnership. Although classified differently, total equity of Simon and the Operating Partnership is the same.
To help investors understand the differences between Simon and the Operating Partnership, this report provides:
| ● | separate consolidated financial statements for Simon and the Operating Partnership; |
| ● | a single set of condensed notes to such consolidated financial statements that includes separate discussions of noncontrolling interests and stockholders’ equity or partners’ equity, accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and per share and per unit data, as applicable; |
2
| ● | a combined Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section that also includes discrete information related to each entity; and |
| ● | separate Part II, Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds sections related to each entity. |
This report also includes separate Part I, Item 4. Controls and Procedures sections and separate Exhibits 31 and 32 certifications for each of Simon and the Operating Partnership in order to establish that the requisite certifications have been made and that Simon and the Operating Partnership are each compliant with Rule 13a-14(a) or Rule 15d-14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and 18 U.S.C. §1350. The separate discussions of Simon and the Operating Partnership in this report should be read in conjunction with each other to understand our results on a consolidated basis and how management operates our business.
In order to highlight the differences between Simon and the Operating Partnership, the separate sections in this report for Simon and the Operating Partnership specifically refer to Simon and the Operating Partnership. In the sections that combine disclosure of Simon and the Operating Partnership, this report refers to actions or holdings of Simon and the Operating Partnership as being “our” actions or holdings. Although the Operating Partnership is generally the entity that directly or indirectly enters into contracts and joint ventures, holds assets and incurs debt, we believe that references to “we,” “us” or “our” in this context is appropriate because the business is one enterprise and we operate substantially all of our business through the Operating Partnership.

1. Organization
Simon Property Group, Inc. is an Indiana corporation that operates as a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust, or REIT, under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Internal Revenue Code. REITs will generally not be liable for U.S. federal corporate income taxes as long as they distribute not less than 100% of their REIT taxable income. Simon Property Group, L.P. is our majority-owned Indiana partnership subsidiary that owns directly or indirectly all of our real estate properties and other assets. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to "Simon" mean Simon Property Group, Inc. and references to the "Operating Partnership" mean Simon Property Group, L.P. References to "we," "us" and "our" mean collectively Simon, the Operating Partnership and those entities/subsidiaries owned or controlled by Simon and/or the Operating Partnership. Unless otherwise indicated, these condensed notes to consolidated financial statements apply to both Simon and the Operating Partnership. According to the amended and restated Operating Partnership's partnership agreement, the Operating Partnership is required to pay all expenses of Simon.
We own, develop and manage premier shopping, dining, entertainment and mixed-use destinations, which consist primarily of malls, Premium Outlets®, and The Mills®. As of March 31, 2026, we owned or held an interest in

2. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all controlled subsidiaries, and all significant intercompany amounts have been eliminated. Due to the seasonal nature of certain operational activities, the results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for interim reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation (including normal recurring accruals) have been included. The consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in the combined 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K of Simon and the Operating Partnership. Certain reclassifications considered necessary for a fair presentation have been made to the prior period financial statements in order to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications have not changed the results of operations.
We consolidate properties that are wholly-owned or properties where we own less than 100% but we control. Control of a property is demonstrated by, among other factors, our ability to refinance debt and sell the property without the consent of any other partner or owner and the inability of any other partner or owner to replace us.
We also consolidate a variable interest entity, or VIE, when we are determined to be the primary beneficiary. Determination of the primary beneficiary of a VIE is based on whether an entity has (1) the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE and (2) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Our determination of the primary beneficiary of a VIE considers all relationships between us and the VIE, including management agreements and other contractual arrangements. There have been no changes during 2026 in previous conclusions about whether an entity qualifies as a VIE or whether we are the primary beneficiary of any previously identified VIE. During the periods presented, we did not provide financial or other support to any identified VIE that we were not contractually obligated to provide.

Investments in partnerships and joint ventures represent our noncontrolling ownership interests. We account for these unconsolidated entities using the equity method of accounting. We initially record these investments at cost and we subsequently adjust for net equity in income or loss, which we allocate in accordance with the provisions of the applicable partnership or joint venture agreement, cash contributions and distributions, and foreign currency fluctuations, if applicable. The allocation provisions in the partnership or joint venture agreements are not always consistent with the legal ownership interests held by each general or limited partner or joint venture investee primarily due to partner preferences. We separately report investments in partnerships and joint ventures for which accumulated distributions have exceeded investments in and our share of net income of the partnerships and joint ventures within cash distributions and losses in partnerships and joint ventures, at equity in the consolidated balance sheets. The net equity of certain partnerships and joint ventures is less than zero because of financing or operating distributions that are usually greater than net income, as net income includes non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization.
As of March 31, 2026, we consolidated
Preferred distributions of the Operating Partnership are accrued at declaration and represent distributions on outstanding preferred units of partnership interests, or preferred units, and are included in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests. We allocate net operating results of the Operating Partnership after preferred distributions to limited partners and to Simon based on the partners’ respective weighted average ownership interests in the Operating Partnership. Net operating results of the Operating Partnership attributable to limited partners are reflected in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests. Simon’s weighted average ownership interest in the Operating Partnership was
Preferred unit requirements in the Operating Partnership’s accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income represent distributions on outstanding preferred units and are recorded when declared.
3. Significant Accounting Policies
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Short-term Investments
We consider all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of 90 days or less to be cash and cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. Cash equivalents generally consist of commercial paper, bankers’ acceptances, Eurodollars, repurchase agreements, and money market deposits or securities. Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk include our cash and cash equivalents and our trade accounts receivable. We place our cash and cash equivalents with institutions of high credit quality. However, at certain times, such cash and cash equivalents are in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and Securities Investor Protection Corporation insurance limits.
Equity Instruments and Debt Securities
Equity instruments and debt securities consist primarily of equity instruments, our deferred compensation plan investments, the debt securities of our captive insurance subsidiary, and certain investments held to fund the debt service requirements of debt previously secured by investment properties. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had equity instruments with readily determinable fair values of $

any observable price changes for an identical or similar equity instrument of the same issuer, and determined that no material adjustment in the carrying value was required for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
Our deferred compensation plan equity instruments are valued based upon quoted market prices. The investments have a matching liability as the amounts are fully payable to the employees that earned the compensation. Changes in value of these securities and changes to the matching liability to employees are both recognized in earnings and, as a result, there is no impact to consolidated net income.
At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we held debt securities of $
Our captive insurance subsidiary is required to maintain statutory minimum capital and surplus as well as maintain a minimum liquidity ratio. Therefore, our access to these securities may be limited.
Fair Value Measurements
Level 1 fair value inputs are quoted prices for identical items in active, liquid and visible markets such as stock exchanges. Level 2 fair value inputs are observable information for similar items in active or inactive markets, and appropriately consider counterparty creditworthiness in the valuations. Level 3 fair value inputs reflect our best estimate of inputs and assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability at the measurement date. The inputs are unobservable in the market and significant to the valuation estimate. We have

Noncontrolling Interests

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests (which includes nonredeemable and redeemable noncontrolling interests in consolidated properties, limited partners’ interests in the Operating Partnership and preferred distributions payable by the Operating Partnership on its outstanding preferred units) is a component of consolidated net income. In addition, the individual components of other comprehensive income (loss) are presented in the aggregate for both controlling and noncontrolling interests, with the portion attributable to noncontrolling interests deducted from comprehensive income attributable to common stockholders.
The Operating Partnership
Our evaluation of the appropriateness of classifying the Operating Partnership’s common units of partnership interest, or units, held by Simon and the Operating Partnership's limited partners within permanent equity considered several significant factors. First, as a limited partnership, all decisions relating to the Operating Partnership’s operations and distributions are made by Simon, acting as the Operating Partnership’s sole general partner. The decisions of the general partner are made by Simon's Board of Directors or management. The Operating Partnership has no other governance structure. Secondly, the sole asset of Simon is its interest in the Operating Partnership. As a result, a share of common stock of Simon, or common stock, if owned by the Operating Partnership, is best characterized as being similar to a treasury share and thus not an asset of the Operating Partnership.
Limited partners of the Operating Partnership have the right under the Operating Partnership’s partnership agreement to exchange their units for shares of common stock or cash, as selected by Simon as the sole general partner. Accordingly, we classify units held by limited partners in permanent equity because Simon may elect to issue shares of common stock to limited partners exercising their exchange rights rather than using cash. Under the Operating Partnership’s partnership agreement, the Operating Partnership is required to redeem units held by Simon only when Simon has repurchased shares of common stock. We classify units held by Simon in permanent equity because the decision to redeem those units would be made by Simon.
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests (which includes nonredeemable and redeemable noncontrolling interests in consolidated properties) is a component of consolidated net income.

Derivative Financial Instruments
We record all derivatives on our consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether we have designated a derivative as a hedge and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. We may use a variety of derivative financial instruments in the normal course of business to selectively manage or hedge a portion of the risks associated with our indebtedness and interest payments. Our objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage our exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, we primarily use interest rate swaps and caps. We require that hedging derivative instruments be highly effective in reducing the risk exposure that they are designated to hedge. We formally designate any instrument that meets these hedging criteria as a hedge at the inception of the derivative contract. We have

Our exposure to market risk due to changes in interest rates primarily relates to our long-term debt obligations. We primarily manage exposure to interest rate market risk through our risk management strategy by a combination of interest rate protection agreements to effectively fix or cap a portion of variable rate debt.
We may enter into treasury lock agreements as part of an anticipated debt issuance. Upon completion of the debt issuance, the fair value of these instruments is recorded as part of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt agreement.
The unamortized gain on our treasury locks and terminated hedges recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) was $
We are also exposed to foreign currency risk on financings of certain foreign operations. Our intent is to offset gains and losses that occur on the underlying exposures, with gains and losses on the derivative contracts hedging these exposures. We do not enter into either interest rate protection or foreign currency rate protection agreements for speculative purposes.
We are also exposed to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on financial instruments which are denominated in foreign currencies, primarily in Yen and Euro. We use currency forward contracts, cross currency swap contracts, and nonderivative instruments such as foreign currency denominated debt to manage our exposure to changes in foreign exchange rates on certain Yen and Euro-denominated receivables and net investments. Currency forward contracts involve fixing the Yen:USD or Euro:USD exchange rate for delivery of a specified amount of foreign currency on a specified date. The currency forward contracts are typically cash settled in U.S. dollars for their fair value at or close to their settlement date.

New Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures,” to improve the disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses by providing more detailed information about the types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions. The standard will be effective for us for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this new standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and footnotes.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, “Interim Reporting,” which is intended to improve the navigability of the required interim reporting disclosures and clarifies when that guidance is applicable. The amendments in the ASU will be effective for us for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of these amendments will have on our footnotes.

Certain of our joint venture properties are subject to various rights of first refusal, buy-sell provisions, put and call rights, or other sale or marketing rights for partners which are customary in real estate joint venture agreements and the industry. We and our partners in these joint ventures may initiate these provisions (subject to any applicable lock up or similar restrictions), which may result in either the sale of our interest or the use of available cash or borrowings, or the use of limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership, to acquire the joint venture interest from our partner.

Covenants
Our unsecured debt agreements contain financial covenants and other non-financial covenants. The Credit Facilities contain ongoing covenants relating to total and secured leverage to capitalization value, minimum earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, or EBITDA, and unencumbered EBITDA coverage requirements. Payment under the Credit Facilities can be accelerated if the Operating Partnership or Simon is subject to bankruptcy proceedings or upon the occurrence of certain other events. If we were to fail to comply with these covenants, after the expiration of the applicable cure periods, the debt maturity could be accelerated or other remedies could be sought by the lender, including adjustments to the applicable interest rate. As of March 31, 2026, we were in compliance with all covenants of our unsecured debt.

Temporary Equity
Simon
Simon classifies as temporary equity those securities for which there is the possibility that Simon could be required to redeem the security for cash irrespective of the probability of such a possibility. As a result, Simon classifies
Limited Partners’ Preferred Interest in the Operating Partnership and Noncontrolling Redeemable Interests in Properties. The redemption features of the preferred units in the Operating Partnership contain provisions which could require the Operating Partnership to settle the redemption in cash. As a result, this series of preferred units in the Operating Partnership remains classified outside permanent equity. The remaining interests in a property or portfolio of properties which are redeemable at the option of the holder or in circumstances that may be outside Simon’s control are accounted for as temporary equity. The carrying amount of the noncontrolling interest is adjusted to the redemption amount assuming the instrument is redeemable at the balance sheet date. Changes in the redemption value of the underlying noncontrolling interest are recorded within accumulated

Stock-Based Compensation
Our long-term incentive compensation awards under our stock-based compensation plans primarily take the form of LTIP units, restricted stock units, and restricted stock. The substantial majority of these awards are market condition or performance-based, and are based on various market, corporate and business unit performance measures as further described below. The expense related to these programs, net of amounts capitalized, is included within home and regional office costs and general and administrative costs in the accompanying statements of operations and comprehensive income. LTIP units are a form of limited partnership interest issued by the Operating Partnership, which are subject to the participant maintaining employment with us through certain dates and other conditions as described in the applicable award agreements. Awarded LTIP units not earned in accordance with the conditions set forth in the applicable award agreements are forfeited. Earned and fully vested LTIP units are equivalent to units of the Operating Partnership. Participants are entitled to receive distributions on the awarded LTIP units, as defined, equal to
The grant date fair values of any LTIP units that are market-based awards are estimated using a Monte Carlo model, and the resulting fixed expense is recorded regardless of whether the market condition criteria are achieved if the participant performs the required service period. The grant date fair values of the market-based awards are being amortized into expense over the performance period, which is the grant date through the date at which the awards, if earned, become vested. The expense of the performance-based award is recorded over the performance period, which is the grant date through the date at which the awards, if earned, become vested, based on our assessment as to whether it is probable that the performance criteria will be achieved

Tenant receivables and accrued revenue in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets includes straight-line receivables of $
In connection with rent deferrals or other accruals of unpaid rent payments, if we determine that rent payments are probable of collection, we will continue to recognize lease income on a straight-line basis over the lease term along with associated tenant receivables. However, if we determine that such deferred rent payments or other accrued but unpaid rent payments are not probable of collection, lease income will be recorded on the cash basis, with the corresponding tenant receivable and deferred rent receivable balances charged as a direct write-off against lease income in the period of the change in our collectability determination. Additionally, our assessment of collectability incorporates information regarding a tenant’s financial condition that is obtained from available financial data, the expected outcome of contractual disputes and other matters, and our communications and negotiations with the tenant.
When a tenant seeks to reorganize its operations through bankruptcy proceedings, we assess the collectability of receivable balances. Our ongoing assessment incorporates, among other things, the timing of a tenant’s bankruptcy filing and our expectations of the assumptions by the tenant in bankruptcy proceedings of leases at the Company’s properties on substantially similar terms.
10. Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
We are involved from time-to-time in various legal and regulatory proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business, including, but not limited to, commercial disputes, environmental matters, and litigation in connection with transactions such as acquisitions and divestitures. We believe that current proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, liquidity or results of operations. We record a liability when a loss is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated.
Lease Commitments
As of March 31, 2026, we are subject to ground leases that cover all or a portion of

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this report.
Overview
Simon Property Group, Inc. is an Indiana corporation that operates as a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust, or REIT, under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Internal Revenue Code. REITs will generally not be liable for U.S. federal corporate income taxes as long as they distribute not less than 100% of their REIT taxable income. Simon Property Group, L.P. is our majority-owned Indiana partnership subsidiary that owns directly or indirectly all of our real estate properties and other assets. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to "Simon" mean Simon Property Group, Inc. and references to the "Operating Partnership" mean Simon Property Group, L.P. References to "we," "us" and "our" mean collectively Simon, the Operating Partnership and those entities/subsidiaries owned or controlled by Simon and/or the Operating Partnership. According to the amended and restated Operating Partnership's partnership agreement, the Operating Partnership is required to pay all expenses of Simon.
We own, develop and manage premier shopping, dining, entertainment and mixed-use destinations, which consist primarily of malls, Premium Outlets®, and The Mills®. As of March 31, 2026, we owned or held an interest in 212 income-producing properties in the United States, which consisted of 108 malls, 69 Premium Outlets, 16 Mills, six lifestyle centers, and 13 other retail properties in 38 states and Puerto Rico. Internationally, as of March 31, 2026, we had ownership in 42 properties primarily located in Asia, Europe, and Canada. As of March 31, 2026, we also owned a 20.7% equity stake in Klépierre SA, or Klépierre, a publicly traded, Paris-based real estate company which owns, or has an interest in, shopping centers located in 13 countries in Europe. We also have interests in investments in retail operations (such as Catalyst Brands LLC, or Catalyst); an e-commerce venture (Rue Gilt Groupe, or RGG, which operates shop.simon.com), and Jamestown (a global real estate investment and management company), collectively, our other platform investments.
Until October 31, 2025, we owned an 88% noncontrolling interest in The Taubman Realty Group, LLC, or TRG. As further discussed in Note 4 of the condensed notes to the consolidated financial statements, on October 31, 2025, we acquired the remaining 12% interest which we did not previously own, or the TRG Acquisition.
We generate the majority of our lease income from retail, dining, entertainment, and other tenants including consideration received from:
| ● | fixed minimum lease consideration and fixed common area maintenance (CAM) reimbursements, and |
| ● | variable lease consideration primarily based on tenants’ reported sales, as well as reimbursements for real estate taxes, utilities, marketing and certain other items. |
Revenues of our management company, after intercompany eliminations, consist primarily of management fees that are typically based upon the revenues of the property being managed.
We invest in real estate properties to maximize total financial return which includes both operating cash flows and capital appreciation. We seek growth in earnings, funds from operations, or FFO, and cash flows by enhancing the profitability and operation of our properties and investments. We seek to accomplish this growth through the following:
| ● | attracting and retaining high quality tenants and utilizing economies of scale to reduce operating expenses, |
| ● | expanding and re-tenanting existing highly productive locations at competitive rental rates, |
| ● | selectively acquiring or increasing our interests in high quality real estate assets or portfolios of assets, |
| ● | generating consumer traffic in our retail properties through marketing initiatives and strategic corporate alliances, including creating mixed-use destinations, and |
| ● | selling selective non-core assets. |
We also grow by generating supplemental revenues from the following activities:
| ● | establishing our properties as leading market resource providers for retailers and other businesses and consumer-focused corporate alliances, including national marketing alliances, static and digital media initiatives, business development, sponsorship, and events, |
| ● | offering property operating services to our tenants and others, including waste handling and facility services, and the provision of energy services, |
41
| ● | selling or leasing land adjacent to our properties, commonly referred to as “outlots” or “outparcels,” and |
| ● | generating interest income on cash deposits and investments in loans, including those made to related entities. |
We focus on high quality real estate across the retail real estate spectrum. We expand or redevelop properties to enhance profitability and market share of existing assets when we believe the investment of our capital meets our risk-reward criteria. We selectively develop new properties in markets we believe are not adequately served by existing retail outlet properties.
We routinely review and evaluate acquisition opportunities based on their ability to enhance our portfolio. Our international strategy includes partnering with established real estate companies and financing international investments with local currency to minimize foreign exchange risk.
To support our growth, we employ a three-fold capital strategy:
| ● | generate the capital necessary to fund growth, |
| ● | maintain sufficient flexibility to access capital in many forms, both public and private, including but not limited to, having in place the Operating Partnership’s $5.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility, or the Credit Facility, its $3.5 billion supplemental unsecured revolving credit facility, or the Supplemental Facility, and together, the Credit Facilities, and its global unsecured commercial paper note program, or the Commercial Paper program, of $2.0 billion, or the non-U.S. dollar equivalent thereof, and |
| ● | manage our overall financial structure in a fashion that preserves our investment grade credit ratings. |
We consider FFO, Real Estate FFO, net operating income, or NOI, and portfolio NOI to be key measures of operating performance that are not specifically defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP. We use these measures internally to evaluate the operating performance of our portfolio and provide a basis for comparison with other real estate companies. Reconciliations of these measures to the most comparable GAAP measure are included below in this discussion.
Results Overview
Diluted earnings per share and diluted earnings per unit increased $0.21 during the first three months of 2026 to $1.48 from $1.27 for the same period last year. The increase in diluted earnings per share and diluted earnings per unit was primarily attributable to:
| ● | improved operating performance and solid core business fundamentals in 2026 and the impact of our acquisition activity, as discussed below, |
| ● | increased lease income of $261.1 million, or $0.69 per diluted share/unit, of which $189.1 million, or $0.50 per diluted share/unit, relates to our acquisition activity, |
| ● | a non-cash gain of $64.3 million, or $0.17 per diluted share/unit, due to the exchange of 4,074,711 shares of Klépierre to settle the conversion of €110.3 million of the Operating Partnership’s exchangeable bonds in 2026, |
| ● | an unrealized, favorable change in fair value of publicly traded equity instruments and derivative instrument, net of $62.2 million, or $0.16 per diluted share/unit, which primarily relates to movements in the fair value of the exchange option within our Klépierre exchangeable bonds, |
| ● | a pre-tax loss in 2025 due to disposal, exchange, or revaluation of equity interests of $24.0 million, or $0.06 per diluted share/unit, related to certain post-merger activities within Catalyst, and |
| ● | increased other income of $16.6 million, or $0.04 per diluted share/unit, of which $16.1 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, relates to our acquisition activity, partially offset by, |
| ● | increased depreciation and amortization in 2026 of $130.8 million, or $0.34 per diluted share/unit, of which $121.2 million, or $0.32 per diluted share/unit, relates to our acquisition activity, |
| ● | decreased income from unconsolidated entities of $51.6 million, or $0.14 per diluted share/unit, the majority of which is due to unfavorable year-over-year operations from other platform investments, partially offset by improved operations and core fundamentals in our other unconsolidated entities, |
| ● | increased interest expense of $48.7 million, or $0.13 per diluted share/unit, of which $39.3 million, or $0.10 per diluted share/unit, relates to our acquisition activity, |
42
| ● | increased general and administrative expenses of $41.7 million, or $0.11 per diluted share/unit, which includes $40.0 million of accelerated stock compensation expense recognized in the first quarter of 2026, |
| ● | increased property operating expenses of $33.9 million, or $0.09 per diluted share/unit, of which $24.6 million, or $0.06 per diluted share/unit, relates to our acquisition activity, |
| ● | increased real estate taxes of $28.5 million, or $0.07 per diluted share/unit, of which $21.2 million, or $0.06 per diluted share/unit, relates to our acquisition activity and |
| ● | a pre-tax loss in 2026 due to disposal, exchange, or revaluation of equity interests of $6.4 million, or $0.02 per diluted share/unit, related to certain transaction related transition costs separately related to Catalyst and the TRG Acquisition. |
Portfolio NOI increased 6.7% for the three month period in 2026 over the prior year period primarily as a result of improved operations in our domestic and international portfolios and our acquisition activity. Average base minimum rent for U.S. Malls and Premium Outlets increased 5.2% to $61.99 psf as of March 31, 2026, from $58.92 psf as of March 31, 2025. Ending occupancy for our U.S. Malls and Premium Outlets increased 0.1% to 96.0% as of March 31, 2026, from 95.9% as of March 31, 2025.
Our effective overall borrowing rate at March 31, 2026 on our consolidated indebtedness increased 30 basis points to 3.90% as compared to 3.60% at March 31, 2025. This is primarily due to increases in the effective overall borrowing rate on the fixed rate debt of 58 basis points and the amount of variable rate debt, partially offset by a decrease in the effective overall borrowing rate on the variable rate debt of 55 basis points. The weighted average years to maturity of our consolidated indebtedness was 7.1 years and 7.0 years at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Our financing activity for the three months ended March 31, 2026 included:
| ● | Settling during the first quarter of 2026 the conversion of €173.5 million ($201.4 million U.S. dollar equivalent) of the Operating Partnership’s exchangeable bonds, which are exchangeable at the option of the bondholder into shares of Klépierre, reducing the outstanding balance to €561.1 million ($645.5 million U.S. dollar equivalent) as of March 31, 2026. During the first quarter we exchanged 4,074,711 shares of Klépierre to settle the conversion of €110.3 million of the exchangeable bonds. The remaining conversions were settled in cash for €78.9 million ($90.9 million U.S. dollar equivalent). |
| ● | On March 5, 2026, the Operating Partnership amended, restated, and extended the Credit Facility and amended the Supplemental Facility. |
| ● | On January 13, 2026, the Operating Partnership completed the issuance of $800 million of senior unsecured notes with a fixed interest rate of 4.30% and a maturity date of January 15, 2031. The proceeds were used to redeem, at par, its $800 million 3.30% senior unsecured notes at maturity on January 15, 2026. |
| ● | Increasing our borrowings under the Commercial Paper program by $182.2 million. |
Subsequent to March 31, 2026, we settled additional conversions of €373.5 million of the exchangeable bonds in cash for €468.7 million, further reducing the exchangeable bonds’ outstanding balance to €187.6 million, through the use of existing liquidity and the issuance of commercial paper.

Ending Occupancy Levels and Average Base Minimum Rent per Square Foot. Ending occupancy is the percentage of gross leasable area, or GLA, which is leased as of the last day of the reporting period. We include all company owned space except for mall anchors, mall majors, mall freestanding and mall outlots in the calculation. Base minimum rent per square foot is the average base minimum rent charge in effect for the reporting period for all tenants that would qualify to be included in ending occupancy.
Current Leasing Activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we signed 241 new leases and 480 renewal leases (excluding mall anchors and majors, new development, redevelopment and leases with terms of one year or less) with a fixed minimum rent across our U.S. Malls and Premium Outlets portfolio, comprising approximately 3.0 million square feet, of which 2.4 million square feet related to consolidated properties. During the comparable period in 2025, we signed 259 new leases and 550 renewal leases with a fixed minimum rent, comprising approximately 3.1 million square feet, of which 2.4 million square feet related to consolidated properties. The average annual initial base minimum rent for new leases was $82.00 per square foot in 2026 and $71.05 per square foot in 2025 with an average tenant allowance on new leases of $43.73 per square foot and $64.33 per square foot, respectively.

Results of Operations
The following acquisitions, dispositions and openings of consolidated properties affected our consolidated results in the comparative periods:
| ● | On November 17, 2025, we acquired a 100% interest in a retail property, Phillips Place, a 132,805 square foot center in Charlotte, North Carolina. |
| ● | On October 31, 2025, we closed on the acquisition of the remaining 12% interest in TRG which we did not previously own. As a result of this acquisition, we obtained control of and consolidated TRG as of the acquisition date. TRG has an interest in 22 regional, super-regional, and outlet malls in the U.S. and Asia, 11 of which are now consolidated and 11 of which are accounted for under the equity method upon the acquisition. |
| ● | On June 27, 2025, we acquired the remaining interest in the retail component and 100% of the parking component of Brickell City Centre resulting in the consolidation of the retail component of this property. |
44
| ● | On April 1, 2025, we acquired the remaining interest in Briarwood Mall from a joint venture partner, resulting in the consolidation of this property. |
| ● | On January 30, 2025, we acquired 100% interest in two luxury outlet destinations in Italy, The Mall Luxury Outlets Firenze, a 264,750 square foot center located in Leccio, nearby Florence, and The Mall Luxury Outlets Sanremo, a 122,300 square foot center located in Sanremo. |
The following acquisitions, dispositions and openings of equity method investments and properties affected our income from unconsolidated entities in the comparative periods:
| ● | During the fourth quarter of 2025, we disposed of one retail property. |
| ● | On March 6, 2025, we opened Jakarta Premium Outlets, a 302,000 square foot center in Indonesia. We own a 50% interest in this center. |
Three months ended March 31, 2026 vs. Three months ended March 31, 2025
Lease income increased $261.1 million, driven by an increase of $189.1 million due to our acquisition activity, our development activity, and increases in fixed and variable lease consideration.
Other income increased $16.6 million, of which $16.1 million relates to our acquisition activity.
Property operating expenses increased $33.9 million, of which $24.6 million relates to our acquisition activity and inflationary cost increases.
Depreciation and amortization increased $130.8 million, of which $121.2 million relates to our acquisition activity.
Real estate taxes increased $28.5 million, of which $21.2 million relates to our acquisition activity, and a large successful property tax appeal in 2025.
Repairs and maintenance increased $10.1 million, of which $5.5 million relates to our acquisition activity, inflationary cost increases, and an increase in snow removal costs in 2026.
General and administrative increased $41.7 million, which includes $40.0 million of accelerated stock compensation expense.
Interest expense increased $48.7 million, of which $39.3 million relates to our acquisition activity.
Loss due to disposal, exchange, or revaluation of equity interests, net, decreased $17.6 million. In 2026, we recorded transition costs of $6.3 million separately related to Catalyst and the TRG Acquisition. In 2025, our share of transition costs recorded within Catalyst was $24.0 million.
Income and other tax benefit increased $12.3 million, primarily related to unfavorable year-over-year operations from other platform investments.
(Loss) Income from unconsolidated entities decreased $51.6 million, primarily due to lower results of operations from our other platform investments, partially offset by a strong performance of our domestic and international joint venture properties.
We recorded a non-cash unrealized gain in 2026 of $25.4 million due to the change in fair value of a derivative instrument and net, non-cash unrealized losses in 2025 of $36.8 million as a result of mark-to-market activity on publicly traded equity instruments and the change in fair value of a derivative instrument.
We recorded a $64.3 million gain related to the exchange of 4,074,711 shares of Klépierre to settle the conversion of €110.3 million of the Operating Partnership’s exchangeable bonds.
Simon’s net income attributable to noncontrolling interests increased $24.8 million due to an increase in the net income of the Operating Partnership.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Because we own long-lived income-producing assets, our financing strategy relies primarily on long-term fixed rate debt. Floating rate debt comprised 4.6% of our total consolidated debt at March 31, 2026. We also enter into interest rate protection agreements from time to time to manage our interest rate risk. We derive most of our liquidity from positive net cash flow from operations and distributions of capital from unconsolidated entities that totaled $942.3 million in the aggregate during the three months ended March 31, 2026. The Credit Facilities and the Commercial Paper program provide alternative sources of liquidity as our cash needs vary from time to time. Borrowing capacity under these sources may be increased as discussed further below.
45
Our balance of cash and cash equivalents decreased $280.2 million during the first three months of 2026 to $543.0 million as of March 31, 2026 as a result of the operating and financing activity, as further discussed in “Cash Flows” below.
On March 31, 2026, we had an aggregate available borrowing capacity of approximately $7.5 billion under the Credit Facilities, net of letters of credit of $3.1 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the maximum aggregate outstanding balance under the Credit Facilities was $460.0 million and the weighted average outstanding balance was $460.0 million. The weighted average interest rate was 3.97% for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Simon has historically had access to public equity markets and the Operating Partnership has historically had access to private and public long and short-term unsecured debt markets and access to secured debt and private equity from institutional investors at the property level.
Our business model and Simon’s status as a REIT require us to regularly access the debt markets to raise funds for acquisition, development and redevelopment activity, and to refinance maturing debt. Simon may also, from time to time, access the equity capital markets to accomplish our business objectives. We believe we have sufficient cash on hand and availability under the Credit Facilities and the Commercial Paper program to address our debt maturities and capital needs through 2026.
Cash Flows
Our net cash flow from operating activities and distributions of capital from unconsolidated entities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 totaled $942.3 million. In addition, we had net proceeds from our debt financing and repayment activities of $15.8 million in the first three months of 2026. These activities are further discussed below under “Financing and Debt.” During the first three months of 2026, we also:
| ● | paid stockholder dividends and unitholder distributions totaling approximately $838.8 million and preferred unit distributions totaling $1.0 million, |
| ● | funded consolidated capital expenditures of $208.4 million (including development and other costs of $2.8 million, redevelopment and expansion costs of $142.1 million, and tenant costs and other operational capital expenditures of $63.5 million), |
| ● | funded the redemption of $1.2 million of Operating Partnership units, |
| ● | funded the repurchase of $175.3 million of Simon’s common stock, and |
| ● | funded investments in unconsolidated entities of $10.5 million. |
In general, we anticipate that cash generated from operations will be sufficient to meet operating expenses, monthly debt service, recurring capital expenditures, and dividends to stockholders and/or distributions to partners necessary to maintain Simon’s REIT qualification on a long-term basis. In addition, we expect to be able to generate or obtain capital for nonrecurring capital expenditures, such as acquisitions, major building redevelopments and expansions, as well as for scheduled principal maturities on outstanding indebtedness, from the following, however a severe and prolonged disruption and instability in the global financial markets, including the debt and equity capital markets, may affect our ability to access necessary capital:
| ● | excess cash generated from operating performance and working capital reserves, |
| ● | borrowings on the Credit Facilities and Commercial Paper program, |
| ● | additional secured or unsecured debt financing, or |
| ● | additional equity raised in the public or private markets. |
We expect to generate positive cash flow from operations in 2026, and we consider these projected cash flows in our sources and uses of cash. These cash flows are principally derived from rents paid by our tenants. A significant deterioration in projected cash flows from operations could cause us to increase our reliance on available funds from the Credit Facilities and Commercial Paper program, further curtail planned capital expenditures, or seek other additional sources of financing.
Financing and Debt
Unsecured Debt
At March 31, 2026, our unsecured debt, excluding discounts and debt issuance costs, consisted of $18.9 billion of senior unsecured notes of the Operating Partnership, a €350.0 million ($402.7 million U.S. dollar equivalent) unsecured term loan, $460.0 million outstanding under the Credit Facility, and $537.2 million Commercial Paper program.
On March 5, 2026, we amended, restated, and extended the Credit Facility and amended the Supplemental Facility. The Credit Facility has an initial borrowing capacity of $5.0 billion which may be increased in the form of additional commitments in the
46
aggregate not to exceed $1.0 billion, for a total aggregate size of $6.0 billion, subject to obtaining additional lender commitments and satisfying certain customary conditions precedent. Borrowings may be denominated in U.S. dollars, Euros, Yen, Pounds Sterling, Canadian dollars and Australian dollars. The initial maturity date of the Credit Facility is June 30, 2030. The Credit Facility can be extended for an additional year to June 30, 2031, at our sole option, subject to satisfying certain customary conditions precedent.
Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest, at our election, at either (i) (x) for Term Benchmark Loans, the Term SOFR Rate, the applicable Local Rate, the term CORRA Rate, the Adjusted EURIBOR Rate, or the Adjusted TIBOR Rate, (y) for RFR Loans, if denominated in Pounds Sterling, SONIA, if denominated in U.S. dollars, Daily Simple SOFR and, if denominated in Canadian dollars, Daily Simple CORRA, or (z) for Daily SOFR Loans, the Floating Overnight Daily SOFR Rate, in each case of clauses (x) through (z) above, plus a margin determined by our corporate credit rating of between 0.625% and 1.350% or (ii) for loans denominated in U.S. dollars only, the base rate (which rate is equal to the greatest of the prime rate, the federal funds effective rate plus 0.500% or the Term SOFR Rate for an interest period of one month plus 1.000%) (the “Base Rate”), plus a margin determined by our corporate credit rating of between 0.000% and 0.350%. The Credit Facility includes a facility fee determined by our corporate credit rating of between 0.100% and 0.300% on the aggregate revolving commitments under the Credit Facility. Based upon our current credit ratings, the interest rate on the Credit Facility is SOFR plus 65.0 basis points.
The Supplemental Facility has a borrowing capacity of $3.5 billion, which may be increased to $4.5 billion during its term subject to obtaining additional lender commitments and satisfying certain customary conditions precedent and provides for borrowings denominated in U.S. dollars, Euros, Yen, Pounds Sterling, Canadian dollars and Australian dollars. The initial maturity date of the Supplemental Facility is January 31, 2029. The Supplemental Facility can be extended for an additional year to January 31, 2030 at our sole option, subject to satisfying certain customary conditions precedent.
Borrowings under the Supplemental Facility bear interest, at our election, at either (i) (x) for Term Benchmark Loans, the Term SOFR Rate, the applicable Local Rate, the term CORRA Rate, the Adjusted EURIBOR Rate, or the Adjusted TIBOR Rate, (y) for RFR Loans, if denominated in Sterling, SONIA, if denominated in U.S. dollars, Daily Simple SOFR and, if denominated in Canadian dollars, Daily Simple CORRA, or (z) for Daily SOFR Loans, the Floating Overnight Daily SOFR Rate, in each case of clauses (x) through (z) above, plus a margin determined by our corporate credit rating of between 0.625% and 1.350% or (ii) for loans denominated in U.S. dollars only, the Base Rate (which rate is equal to the greatest of the prime rate, the federal funds effective rate plus 0.500% or the Term SOFR Rate for an interest period of one month plus 1.000%), plus a margin determined by our corporate credit rating of between 0.000% and 0.350%.The Supplemental Facility includes a facility fee determined by our corporate credit rating of between 0.100% and 0.300% on the aggregate revolving commitments under the Supplemental Facility. Based upon our current credit ratings at March 31, 2026, the interest rate on the Supplemental Facility is SOFR plus 65.0 basis points.
At March 31, 2026, we had an aggregate available borrowing capacity of $7.5 billion under the Credit Facilities. The maximum aggregate outstanding balance under the Credit Facilities during the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $460.0 million and the weighted average outstanding balance was $460.0 million. Letters of credit of $3.1 million were outstanding under the Credit Facilities as of March 31, 2026.
The Operating Partnership also has available the Commercial Paper program of $2.0 billion, or the non-U.S. dollar equivalent thereof. The Operating Partnership may issue unsecured commercial paper notes, denominated in U.S. dollars, Euro and other currencies. Notes issued in non-U.S. currencies may be issued by one or more subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership and are guaranteed by the Operating Partnership. Notes will be sold under customary terms in the U.S. and Euro commercial paper note markets and rank (either by themselves or as a result of the guarantee described above) pari passu with the Operating Partnership's other unsecured senior indebtedness. The Commercial Paper program is supported by the Credit Facilities and, if necessary or appropriate, we may make one or more draws under either of the Credit Facilities to pay amounts outstanding from time to time on the Commercial Paper program. On March 31, 2026, we had $537.2 million outstanding under the Commercial Paper program, fully comprised of U.S. dollar denominated notes with a weighted average interest rate of 3.94%. These borrowings have a weighted average maturity date of May 6, 2026 and reduced amounts otherwise available under the Credit Facilities.
During the first quarter of 2026, we settled the conversion of €173.5 million ($201.4 million U.S. dollar equivalent) of the Operating Partnership’s exchangeable bonds, which are exchangeable at the option of the bondholder into shares of Klépierre, reducing the outstanding balance to €561.1 million ($645.5 million U.S. dollar equivalent) as of March 31, 2026. Amounts settled through the exchange of Klépierre shares are discussed in Note 6 of the condensed notes to the consolidated financial statements. The remaining conversions were settled in cash for €78.9 million ($90.9 million U.S. dollar equivalent). Subsequent to March 31, 2026, we settled additional conversions of €373.5 million of the exchangeable bonds in cash for €468.7 million, further reducing the exchangeable bonds’ outstanding balance to €187.6 million, through the use of existing liquidity and the issuance of commercial paper.
47
On January 13, 2026, the Operating Partnership completed the issuance of $800 million of senior unsecured notes with a fixed interest rate of 4.30% and a maturity date of January 15, 2031. The proceeds were used to redeem, at par, its $800 million 3.30% senior unsecured notes at maturity on January 15, 2026.
On August 19, 2025, the Operating Partnership completed the issuance of $700 million of senior unsecured notes with a fixed interest rate of 4.375% and a maturity date of October 1, 2030, and $800 million of senior unsecured notes with a fixed interest rate of 5.125% and a maturity date of October 1, 2035. A portion of the proceeds were used to redeem, at par, its $1.1 billion 3.50% senior unsecured notes at maturity on September 1, 2025. Another portion of the proceeds were used to repay the €500 million outstanding under the Supplemental Facility on October 8, 2025.
On May 12, 2025, the Operating Partnership drew €500 million under the Supplemental Facility. The proceeds were used to fund the redemption at par of the Operating Partnerships €500 million notes maturing on May 13, 2025.
On April 25, 2025, the Operating Partnership drew $155 million under the Credit Facility.
On January 29, 2025, the Operating Partnership drew €376 million under the Credit Facility and used the proceeds to facilitate the acquisition of two Italian assets. On March 13, 2025, we repaid €18 million that had been outstanding under the Credit Facility at December 31, 2024. On March 20, 2025, the Operating Partnership entered into a €350.0 million unsecured term loan with a maturity date of March 20, 2027, and swapped the interest rate to an all-in fixed rate of 2.6% which matured on March 20, 2026. The proceeds of the term loan, along with cash on hand, were used to repay the then remaining €376 million outstanding under the Credit Facility.
Mortgage Debt
Total mortgage indebtedness was $8.1 billion and $8.2 billion at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. On October 31, 2025, as part of the TRG Acquisition, discussed in Note 4 of the condensed notes to the consolidated financial statements, the Operating Partnership’s consolidated debt increased $3.1 billion.
Covenants
Our unsecured debt agreements contain financial covenants and other non-financial covenants. The Credit Facilities contain ongoing covenants relating to total and secured leverage to capitalization value, minimum earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, or EBITDA, and unencumbered EBITDA coverage requirements. Payment under the Credit Facilities can be accelerated if the Operating Partnership or Simon is subject to bankruptcy proceedings or upon the occurrence of certain other events. If we were to fail to comply with these covenants, after the expiration of the applicable cure periods, the debt maturity could be accelerated or other remedies could be sought by the lender, including adjustments to the applicable interest rate. As of March 31, 2026, we were in compliance with all covenants of our unsecured debt.
At March 31, 2026, our consolidated subsidiaries were the borrowers under 41 non-recourse mortgage notes secured by mortgages on 44 properties and other assets, including two separate pools of cross-defaulted and cross-collateralized mortgages encumbering a total of five properties. Under these cross-default provisions, a default under any mortgage included in the cross-defaulted pool may constitute a default under all mortgages within that pool and may lead to acceleration of the indebtedness due on each property within the pool. Certain of our secured debt instruments contain financial and other non-financial covenants which are specific to the properties that serve as collateral for that debt. If the applicable borrower under these non-recourse mortgage notes were to fail to comply with these covenants, the lender could accelerate the debt and enforce its rights against their collateral. At March 31, 2026, the applicable borrowers under these non-recourse mortgage notes were in compliance with all covenants where non-compliance could individually or in the aggregate, giving effect to applicable cross-default provisions, have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.
Summary of Financing
Our consolidated debt, adjusted to reflect outstanding derivative instruments, and the effective weighted average interest rates as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, consisted of the following (dollars in thousands):

Contractual Obligations
There have been no material changes to our outstanding capital expenditure and lease commitments previously disclosed in the combined 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K of Simon and the Operating Partnership.
In regards to long-term debt arrangements, the following table summarizes the material aspects of these future obligations on our consolidated indebtedness as of March 31, 2026, for the remainder of 2026 and subsequent years thereafter (dollars in thousands), assuming the obligations remain outstanding through initial maturities, including applicable exercise of available extension options:

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Our off-balance sheet arrangements consist primarily of our investments in joint ventures which are common in the real estate industry and are described in Note 6 of the condensed notes to the consolidated financial statements. Our joint ventures typically fund their cash needs through secured debt financings obtained by and in the name of the joint venture entity. The joint venture debt is secured by a first mortgage, is without recourse to the joint venture partners, and does not represent a liability of the partners, except to the extent the partners or their affiliates expressly guarantee the joint venture debt. In addition to the guarantee disclosed in Note 6 of the condensed notes of the consolidated financial statements, as of March 31, 2026, the Operating Partnership guaranteed joint venture-related mortgage indebtedness of $118.5 million. Mortgages guaranteed by the Operating Partnership are secured by the property of the joint venture which could be sold in order to satisfy the outstanding obligation and which has an estimated fair value in excess of the guaranteed amount. We may elect to fund cash needs of a joint venture through equity contributions (generally on a basis proportionate to our ownership interests), advances or partner loans, although such fundings are not typically required contractually or otherwise.
Acquisitions and Dispositions
Buy-sell, marketing rights, and other exit mechanisms are common in real estate partnership agreements. Most of our partners are institutional investors who have a history of direct investment in retail real estate. We and our partners in our joint venture properties may initiate these provisions (subject to any applicable lock up or similar restrictions). If we determine it is in our stockholders’ best interests for us to purchase the joint venture interest and we believe we have adequate liquidity to execute the purchase without hindering our cash flows, then we may initiate these provisions or elect to buy our partner’s interest. If we decide to sell any of our joint venture interests, we expect to use the net proceeds to reduce outstanding indebtedness or to reinvest in development, redevelopment, or expansion opportunities.
Acquisitions. On November 17, 2025, we completed the acquisition of a 100% interest in a retail property, Phillips Place, located in Charlotte, North Carolina. The cash consideration including working capital was $143.8 million. The property is unencumbered.
On October 31, 2025, we closed on the acquisition of the remaining 12% interest in TRG which we did not previously own in exchange for approximately 5.06 million units in the Operating Partnership. As a result of this acquisition, we obtained control of and consolidated TRG as of the acquisition date. TRG had an interest in 22 regional, super-regional, and outlet malls in the U.S. and Asia, 11 of which are now consolidated and 11 of which are accounted for under the equity method upon the acquisition. This acquisition aligns with our strategy of owning high-quality assets, unlocking operational synergies and driving further innovation.
49
On June 27, 2025, we acquired the remaining 75% interest in the retail component and 100% of the parking component of Brickell City Centre resulting in the consolidation of the retail component which had previously been accounted for under the equity method. The cash consideration for this transaction, including working capital, was $497.7 million. Cash acquired was $24.0 million.
On April 1, 2025, we acquired the remaining interest in Briarwood Mall from a joint venture partner, resulting in the consolidation of this property. The cash consideration for this transaction, including working capital, was $9.2 million. Cash acquired was $14.7 million. The property is subject to a $165 million 3.29% fixed rate mortgage loan.
On January 30, 2025, we completed the acquisition of a 100% interest in two luxury outlet destinations in Italy, The Mall Luxury Outlets Firenze, in Leccio, nearby Florence, and The Mall Luxury Outlets Sanremo, in Sanremo on the Italian Riviera. The cash consideration including working capital and capitalized transaction costs was $392.4 million. Cash acquired was $25.3 million. The properties are unencumbered.
Dispositions. We may continue to pursue the disposition of properties that no longer meet our strategic criteria or that are not a primary retail venue within their trade area.
During 2025, we disposed of our interests in one unconsolidated retail property in satisfaction of its $84.3 million non-recourse mortgage loan, resulting in a gain of $21.6 million.
Development Activity
We routinely incur costs related to construction for significant redevelopment and expansion projects at our properties. Redevelopment and expansion projects, including the addition of anchors, big box tenants, restaurants, as well as mixed-use projects are underway at several properties in North America, Europe, and Asia.
Construction continues on certain redevelopment and new development projects in the U.S. and internationally that are nearing completion. Our share of the costs of all new development, redevelopment and expansion projects currently under construction is approximately $1.1 billion. Simon’s share of remaining net cash funding required to complete the new development and redevelopment projects currently under construction in the remainder of 2026 and 2027 is approximately $416 million. We expect to fund these capital projects with cash flows from operations. We seek a stabilized return on invested capital in the range of 8-10% for all of our new development, expansion and redevelopment projects.
International Development Activity. We typically reinvest net cash flow from our international joint ventures to fund future international development activity. We believe this strategy mitigates some of the risk of our initial investment and our exposure to changes in foreign currencies. We have also funded most of our foreign investments with local currency-denominated borrowings that act as a natural hedge against fluctuations in exchange rates. Our consolidated net income exposure to changes in the volatility of the Euro, Yen, Peso, Won, and other foreign currencies is not material.
Dividends, Distributions and Stock Repurchase Program
Simon paid a common stock dividend of $2.20 per share for the first quarter of 2026. Simon paid a common stock dividend of $2.10 per share for the first quarter of 2025. The Operating Partnership paid distributions per unit for the same amounts. On May 11, 2026, Simon’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend for the second quarter of 2026 of $2.25 per share, payable on June 30, 2026 to shareholders of record on June 9, 2026. The distribution rate on units is equal to the dividend rate on common stock. In order to maintain its status as a REIT, Simon must pay a minimum amount of dividends. Simon’s future dividends and the Operating Partnership’s future distributions will be determined by Simon’s Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, based on actual and projected financial condition, liquidity and results of operations, cash available for dividends and limited partner distributions, cash reserves as deemed necessary for capital and operating expenditures, financing covenants, if any, and the amount required to maintain Simon’s status as a REIT.
On February 8, 2024, Simon’s Board of Directors authorized a common stock repurchase program under which Simon was permitted to purchase up to $2.0 billion of its common stock during the two-year period ending February 15, 2026 in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. During the quarter ended March 31, 2026, Simon purchased 273,295 shares at an average price of $182.95 per share under this plan. During the year ended December 31, 2025, Simon purchased 1,246,190 shares at an average price of $182.02 per share under this plan. As Simon repurchases shares under the plan, the Operating Partnership repurchased an equal number of units from Simon.
On February 5, 2026, Simon’s Board of Directors authorized a new common stock repurchase program, which immediately replaced the existing repurchase plan. Under the plan, Simon may purchase up to $2.0 billion of its common stock during the period ending on February 29, 2028 in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions as market conditions warrant. During the period ended March 31, 2026, Simon purchased 692,001 shares at an average price of $181.05 per share under this plan. As Simon repurchases shares under these programs, the Operating Partnership repurchases an equal number of units from Simon.

Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may be deemed "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Although Simon believes the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, Simon can give no assurance that its expectations will be attained, and it is possible that Simon's actual results may differ materially from those indicated by these forward–looking statements due to a variety of risks, uncertainties and other factors. Such factors include, but are not limited to: the intensely competitive market environment in the retail real estate industry and the retail industry, including e-commerce; the inability to renew leases and relet vacant space at existing properties on favorable terms; the inability to collect rent due to the bankruptcy or insolvency of tenants or otherwise; the potential loss of anchor stores or major tenants; an increase in vacant space at our properties; the loss of key management personnel; changes in economic and market conditions that may adversely affect the general retail environment, including but not limited to those caused by inflation, the impact of tariffs and global trade disruptions on us to the extent impacting our tenants, recessionary pressures, wars, escalating geopolitical tensions as a result of the war in Ukraine and the conflicts in the Middle East, and supply chain disruptions; the potential for violence, civil unrest, criminal activity or terrorist activities at our properties; the availability of comprehensive insurance coverage; security breaches that could compromise our information technology or infrastructure; changes in market rates of interest; our international activities subjecting us to risks that are different from or greater than those associated with our domestic operations, including changes in foreign exchange rates; the impact of our substantial indebtedness on our future operations, including covenants in the governing agreements that impose restrictions on us that may affect our ability to operate freely; any disruption in the financial markets that may adversely affect our ability to access capital for growth and satisfy our ongoing debt service requirements; any change in our credit rating; our continued ability to maintain our status as a REIT; changes in tax laws or regulations that result in adverse tax consequences; risks associated with the acquisition, development, redevelopment, expansion, leasing and management of properties; the inability to lease newly developed properties on favorable terms; risks relating to our joint venture properties, including guarantees of certain joint venture indebtedness; the effects of climate change; environmental liabilities; natural or other disasters; uncertainties regarding the impact of pandemics, epidemics or public health crises, and the associated governmental restrictions on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and liquidity; and general risks related to real estate investments, including the illiquidity of real estate investments. Simon discusses these and other risks and uncertainties under the heading "Risk Factors" in its annual and quarterly periodic reports filed with the SEC. Simon may update that discussion in subsequent other periodic reports, but except as required by law, Simon undertakes no duty or obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future developments, or otherwise.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Industry practice is to evaluate real estate properties in part based on performance measures such as FFO, real estate FFO, diluted FFO per share, real estate FFO per share, NOI, beneficial interest of combined NOI and portfolio NOI. We believe that these non-GAAP measures are helpful to investors because they are widely recognized measures of the performance of REITs and provide a relevant basis for comparison among REITs. We also use these measures internally to measure the operating performance of our portfolio. We are providing different components of NOI, such as Portfolio NOI (a component of beneficial interest of combined NOI that relates to the operational performance of our global real estate portfolio), to provide investors with disaggregated information to further differentiate our global real estate portfolio performance from corporate and other platform investments.
We determine FFO based upon the definition set forth by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) Funds From Operations White Paper – 2018 Restatement. Our main business includes acquiring, owning, operating, developing, and redeveloping real estate in conjunction with the rental of real estate. Gain and losses of assets incidental to our main business are included in FFO. We determine FFO to be our share of consolidated net income computed in accordance with GAAP:
| ● | excluding real estate related depreciation and amortization, |
| ● | excluding gains and losses from extraordinary items, |
| ● | excluding gains and losses from the acquisition of controlling interest, sale, disposal or property insurance recoveries of, or any impairment related to, depreciable retail operating properties, |
| ● | plus the allocable portion of FFO of unconsolidated joint ventures based upon economic ownership interest, and |
| ● | all determined on a consistent basis in accordance with GAAP. |
We determine real estate FFO utilizing the definition of FFO as stated above excluding the impact of operations from
| ● | Other Platform Investments, net of tax, |
51
| ● | gains or losses due to disposal, exchange, or revaluation of equity interests, net of tax, and |
| ● | unrealized gains or losses in fair value of publicly traded equity instruments and derivative instruments. |
You should understand that our computations of these non-GAAP measures might not be comparable to similar measures reported by other REITs and that these non-GAAP measures:
| ● | do not represent cash flow from operations as defined by GAAP, |
| ● | should not be considered as an alternative to net income determined in accordance with GAAP as a measure of operating performance, and |
| ● | are not an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. |
The following schedule reconciles total FFO and real estate FFO to consolidated net income and, for Simon, diluted net income per share to diluted FFO per share and real estate FFO per share.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Sensitivity Analysis
We disclosed a qualitative and quantitative analysis regarding market risk in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the combined 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K of Simon and the Operating Partnership. There have been no material changes in the assumptions used or results obtained regarding market risk since December 31, 2025.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Simon
Management’s Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Simon maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s, or the SEC’s, rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to Simon’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Because of inherent limitations, disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of disclosure controls and procedures are met.
Our management, with the participation of Simon’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of Simon’s disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2026. Based on that evaluation, Simon’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2026, Simon’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level.

Part II — Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are involved from time-to-time in various legal and regulatory proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business, including, but not limited to, commercial disputes, environmental matters, and litigation in connection with transactions such as acquisitions and divestitures.

Economic Terms and Voting Rights
2.1 Designation and Issuance. The General Partner hereby designates a series of LTIP Units entitled the Series 2026 LTIP Units. The number of Series 2026 LTIP Units that may be issued pursuant to this Designation is the total number of Award LTIP Units issued on the Grant Date. Each holder of Award LTIP Units shall be deemed admitted as a Limited Partner of the Partnership on the Grant Date unless as of the Grant Date such holder has already been admitted to the Partnership as a Limited Partner.

Except as otherwise provided in this Designation, the Partnership shall maintain, at all times, a one-to-one ratio between the LTIP Units and Partnership Units, for conversion, distribution and other purposes, including without limitation complying with the following procedures. If an Adjustment Event (as defined below) occurs, then the General Partner shall make a corresponding adjustment to the LTIP Units to maintain a one-to-one conversion and economic equivalence ratio between the LTIP Units and the Partnership Units. The following shall be “Adjustment Events”: (A) the Partnership makes a distribution of Partnership Units or other equity interests in the Partnership on all outstanding Partnership Units (provided that with respect to Award LTIP Units any adjustment as the result of a distribution made concurrently with a stock dividend paid by the General Partner in accordance with Rev. Proc. 2017-45 or any similar policy or pronouncement of the Internal Revenue Service shall be made only to the extent that the Award LTIP Units do not receive ten percent (10%) of the distribution); (B) the Partnership subdivides the outstanding Partnership Units into a greater number of units or combines the outstanding Partnership Units into a smaller number of units; (C) the Partnership issues any Partnership Units or other equity in the Partnership in exchange for its outstanding Partnership Units by way of a reclassification or recapitalization of its Partnership Units; or (D) any other non-recurring event or transaction that would, as determined by the General Partner in its sole discretion, have the similar effect of unjustly diluting or expanding the rights conferred by outstanding LTIP Units. If more than one Adjustment Event occurs, the adjustment to the LTIP Units need be made only once using a single formula that takes into account each and every Adjustment Event as if all Adjustment Events occurred simultaneously. For the avoidance of doubt, the following shall not be Adjustment Events: (x) the issuance of Partnership Units from the Partnership’s sale of securities or in a financing, reorganization, acquisition or other business transaction, (y) the issuance of Partnership Units or Other LTIP Units pursuant to any employee benefit or compensation plan or distribution reinvestment plan, or (z) the issuance of any Partnership Units to the General Partner in respect of a capital contribution to the Partnership of proceeds from the sale of securities by the General Partner. If the Partnership takes an action affecting the Partnership Units other than actions specifically described above as constituting Adjustment Events and, in the opinion of the General Partner, such action would require an adjustment to the LTIP Units to maintain the one-to-one correspondence described above, the General Partner shall have the right to make such adjustment to the LTIP Units, to the extent permitted by law, in such manner and at such time as the General Partner, in its sole discretion, may determine to be appropriate under the circumstances. If an adjustment is made to the LTIP Units as hereby provided, the Partnership shall promptly file in the books and records of the Partnership a certificate setting forth such adjustment and a brief statement of facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment absent manifest error. Promptly after filing such certificate, the Partnership shall mail a notice to each LTIP Unitholder setting forth the adjustment to his or her LTIP Units and the effective date of such adjustment.
2.3 Distributions of Net Operating Cash Flow. Award LTIP Units shall be treated as one-tenth of a Partnership Unit for purposes of Section 6.2(a) and (b)(iii) of the Partnership Agreement,
except that Award LTIP Units shall not be entitled to any Special Distributions except as provided in Section 2.4. Distributions with respect to an Award LTIP Unit issued during a fiscal quarter shall be prorated as provided in Section 6.2(c)(ii) of the Partnership Agreement. Earned LTIP Units shall be entitled to the same rights to receive distributions as the Partnership Units.
2.4 Special Distributions. Until the Economic Capital Account Balance of a holder’s LTIP Units is equal to the Target Balance, such holder shall be entitled to Special Distributions attributable to the sale of an asset of the Partnership only to the extent that the Partnership determines that such asset has appreciated in value subsequent to the Grant Date and such Special Distribution would not reduce such holder’s Economic Capital Account Balance below zero (taking into account any Liquidating Gain attributable to such sale of the asset that is allocated to such holder in accordance with Section 3.1).
2.5 Liquidating Distributions. In the event of the dissolution, liquidation and winding up of the Partnership, distributions to holders of LTIP Units shall be made in accordance with Section 8.2(d) of the Partnership Agreement.
2.6 Forfeiture. Any Award LTIP Units and Earned LTIP Units that are forfeited pursuant to the terms of an Award Agreement shall immediately be null and void and shall cease to be outstanding or to have any rights except as otherwise provided in the Award Agreement.
2.7 Voting Rights. Holders of Award LTIP Units and Earned LTIP Units shall not be entitled to vote on any other matter submitted to the Limited Partners for their approval unless and until such units constitute Vested LTIP Units. Vested LTIP Units will be entitled to be voted on an equal basis with the Partnership Units.
ARTICLE III
Tax Provisions
3.1 Special Allocations of Profits. Liquidating Gain shall be allocated as follows: (a) first, to the holders of Preferred Units as provided in the Partnership Agreement, (b) second, if applicable, to the holders of Partnership Units as provided by the Partnership Agreement until the Partnership Unit Economic Balance is equal to the Target Balance and (c) third, to (i) the holders of the LTIP Units until their Economic Capital Account Balance is equal to the Target Balance and (ii) the holders of Other LTIP Units until their economic capital account balances are equal to their target balances. If an allocation of Liquidating Gain is not sufficient to achieve the objectives of the foregoing sentence in full, Liquidating Gain, after giving effect to clauses (a) and (b) in such sentence, shall be allocated first, to the holders of the Vested LTIP Units and vested Other LTIP Units and, second, to the holders of Unvested LTIP Units and non-vested Other LTIP Units, in each case, in proportion to the amounts necessary for such units to achieve the objectives of the foregoing sentence; provided, that the holders of Other LTIP Units shall not receive an allocation of Liquidating Gain that they are not entitled to receive under the applicable certificate of designation. A certificate of designation for Other LTIP Units may provide for a different allocation among such Other LTIP Units, but such different allocation shall not affect the amount allocated to the LTIP Units vis-à-vis the Other LTIP Units. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Liquidating Gain shall not be allocated to the holders of the LTIP Units to the extent such allocation would cause the LTIP Units to fail to qualify as a “profits interest” when granted. Once the Economic Capital Account Balance has been increased to the Target Balance, no further allocations shall be made pursuant to this Section 3.1 hereof. Thereafter, LTIP Units shall be treated as Partnership Units with respect to the allocation of Profits and Losses pursuant to Section 3.2 hereof.
If any Unvested LTIP Units to which gain has been previously allocated under this Section 3.1 are forfeited, the Capital Account associated with the forfeited Unvested LTIP Units will be reallocated to the remaining LTIP Units at the time of forfeiture to the extent necessary to cause the Economic Capital Account Balance of such remaining LTIP Units to equal the Target Balance. To the extent any gain is not reallocated in accordance with the foregoing sentence, such gain shall be forfeited.
3.2Allocations with respect to Award LTIP Units. The following provisions apply to allocation of Profits and Losses with respect to Award LTIP Units:
(a)Except to the extent to which a holder the LTIP units is entitled to a Distribution pursuant to Section 2.4 hereof, no Profits that the General Partner determines are attributable to a Special Distribution or the sale of an asset shall be allocated to Award LTIP Units.
(b)Except as provided in Section 3.2(a) hereof, each Award LTIP Unit shall be treated as one-tenth of a Partnership Unit for purposes of allocation of Profits and Losses pursuant to Section 6.1(b)(3) of the Partnership Agreement.
3.3 Allocations with Respect to Earned LTIP Units. Earned LTIP Units shall be treated as Partnership Units with respect to the allocation of Profits and Losses; provided, that Profits from the sale of assets shall be allocated to each holder of the LTIP Units as provided in Section 3.1 hereof until his or her Economic Capital Account Balance has been increased to the Target Balance.
3.4 Safe Harbor Election. To the extent provided for in Regulations, revenue rulings, revenue procedures and/or other IRS guidance issued after the date of this Designation, the Partnership is hereby authorized to, and at the direction of the General Partner shall, elect a safe harbor under which the fair market value of any LTIP Units issued after the effective date of such Regulations (or other guidance) will be treated as equal to the liquidation value of such LTIP Units (i.e. , a value equal to the total amount that would be distributed with respect to such interests if the Partnership sold all of its assets for the fair market value immediately after the issuance of such LTIP Units, satisfied its liabilities (excluding any non-recourse liabilities to the extent the balance of such liabilities exceed the fair market value of the assets that secure them) and distributed the net proceeds to the LTIP Unitholders under the terms of this Agreement). In the event that the Partnership makes a safe harbor election as described in the preceding sentence, each LTIP Unitholder hereby agrees to comply with all safe harbor requirements with respect to transfers of such LTIP Units while the safe harbor election remains effective. In addition, upon a forfeiture of any LTIP Units by any LTIP Unitholder, gross items of income, gain, loss or deduction shall be allocated to such LTIP Unitholder if and to the extent required by final Regulations promulgated after the effective date of this Designation to ensure that allocations made with respect to all unvested LTIP Units are recognized under Code Section 704(b).
ARTICLE IV
Conversion
4.1 Conversion Right. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Partnership Agreement and any applicable Award Agreement, on and after the Full Conversion Date, the LTIP Unitholder shall have the right to convert Vested LTIP Units to Partnership Units on a one-to-one basis by giving notice to the Partnership as provided in Section 4.3 hereof. Prior to the Full Conversion Date, the conversion of Vested LTIP Units shall be subject to the limitation set forth in Section 4.2 hereof.
4.2 Limitation on Conversion Rights until the Full Conversion Date. The maximum number of Vested LTIP Units that may be converted prior to the Full Conversion Date is equal to the product of (a) the result obtained by dividing (1) the Economic Capital Account Balance of the Vested LTIP Units by (2) the Target Balance of the Vested LTIP Units, in each case determined as of the
effective date of the conversion and (b) the number of Vested LTIP Units. Immediately after each conversion of Vested LTIP Units, the aggregate Economic Capital Account Balance of the remaining Vested LTIP Units shall be equal to (a) the aggregate Economic Capital Account Balance of all of the holder’s Vested LTIP Units immediately prior to conversion, minus (b) the aggregate Economic Capital Account Balance immediately prior to conversion of the number of the holder’s Vested LTIP Units that were converted.
4.3 Exercise of Conversion Right.

The holder may give a Conversion Notice with respect to Unvested LTIP Units, provided that such Unvested LTIP Units become Vested LTIP Units on or prior to the Conversion Date.
4.4 Exchange for Shares. An LTIP Unitholder may also exercise his right to exchange the Partnership Units to be received pursuant to the Conversion Notice to Shares or cash, as selected by the General Partner, in accordance with Article XI of the Partnership Agreement; provided, however, such right shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Article II of the Partnership Agreement and any applicable Award Agreement and may not be effective until six (6) months from the date the Vested LTIP Units that were converted into Partnership Units became Vested LTIP Units.
4.5 Forced Conversion. In addition, the General Partner may, upon not less than ten (10) days’ notice to an LTIP Unitholder, require any holder of Vested LTIP Units to convert them into Units subject to the limitation set forth in Section 4.2 hereof, and only if, at the time the General Partner acts, there is a one-to-one conversion right between the LTIP Units and Partnership Units for conversion, distribution and all other purposes. The conversion shall be effective as of 12:01 a.m. on the date specified in the notice from the General Partner.
4.6 Notices. Notices pursuant to this Article shall be given in the same manner as notices given pursuant to the Partnership Agreement.
