SAFE HARBOR FOR FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS Statements in this presentation that are not historical may be deemed “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that these expectations will be attained and it is possible that actual results may differ materially from those indicated by these forward-looking statements due to a variety of risks and uncertainties. Such factors include, but are not limited to: changes in economic and market conditions that adversely affect the general retail environment; the potential loss of anchor stores or major tenants; the inability to collect rent due to the bankruptcy or insolvency of tenants or otherwise; decreases in market rental rates; the intensely competitive market environment in the retail industry; the inability to lease newly developed properties and renew leases and relet space at existing properties on favorable terms; risks related to international activities, including, without limitation, the impact of the United Kingdom’s vote to leave the European Union; changes to applicable laws or regulations or the interpretation thereof; risks associated with the acquisition, development, redevelopment, expansion, leasing and management of properties; general risks related to real estate investments, including the illiquidity of real estate investments; the impact of our substantial indebtedness on our future operations; any disruption in the financial markets that adversely affects our ability to access capital for growth and satisfy our ongoing debt service requirements; any change in our credit rating; changes in market rates of interest and foreign exchange rates for foreign currencies; changes in the value of our investments in foreign entities; our ability to hedge interest rate and currency risk; our continued ability to maintain our status as a REIT; changes in tax laws or regulations that result in adverse tax consequences; risks relating to our joint venture properties; environmental liabilities; changes in insurance costs, the availability of comprehensive insurance coverage; security breaches that could compromise our information technology or infrastructure; natural disasters; the potential for terrorist activities; and the loss of key management personnel. The Company discusses these and other risks and uncertainties under the heading “Risk Factors” in its annual and quarterly periodic reports filed with the SEC. The Company may update that discussion in subsequent other periodic reports, but, except as required by law, the Company undertakes no duty or obligation to update or revise these forward‑looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future developments, or otherwise. This presentation includes the non-GAAP measures of funds from operations, or FFO, and net operating income, or NOI. Industry practice is to evaluate real estate properties in part based upon FFO. The Company believes that FFO and NOI are helpful to investors because they are widely recognized measures of the performance of real estate investment trusts and provide a relevant basis for comparison among REITs. The Company also uses these measures internally to measure the operating performance of its portfolio. For information on FFO and NOI, see the Supplemental Information Package available on our investor relations website at investors.simon.com, under Financials. The information in this presentation has been included in good faith but is for general informational purposes only. All reasonable care has been taken to ensure that the information contained herein is not untrue or misleading. It should not be relied on for any specific purpose and no representation or warranty is given regarding its accuracy or completeness. Neither the Company, its shareholders, its officers or employees nor any other person shall be liable for any loss, damage or expense arising out of any access to or use of this presentation.
