The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a widespread health crisis, which has
adversely affected international, national and local economies and financial
markets generally, and has had an unprecedented negative effect on the
commercial real estate industry. While the distribution of vaccinations and the
declining infection rates from the peak of the pandemic and December 31, 2020
has provided us reasonable optimistic expectations, there remains significant
uncertainty regarding the future impact of the pandemic. The discussions below,
including without limitation with respect to outlooks and liquidity, are subject
to the future effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the responses to curb its
spread, all of which continue to evolve.

On April 15, 2021, we announced our entry into the Merger Agreement with Kimco
pursuant to which, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions,
we will merge with and into Kimco, with Kimco continuing as the surviving
corporation. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, each share of our
common shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be
converted into the right to receive (i) 1.408 shares of common stock of Kimco
and (ii) $2.89 in cash, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments and any
adjustment that may be made pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement in
certain circumstances relating to a special pre-closing distribution by us. On
July 15, 2021, our Board of Trust Managers declared a special dividend, which is
payable on August 2, 2021 to shareholders of record on July 28, 2021. The
special dividend is being paid in connection with the anticipated Merger and to
satisfy the REIT taxable income distribution requirements. Under the terms of
the Merger Agreement, our payment of the special dividend adjusts the cash
consideration to be paid by Kimco at the closing of the Merger from $2.89 per
share to $2.20 per share, and does not affect the payment of the share
consideration of 1.408 newly issued shares of common stock of Kimco for each of
our common shares owned immediately prior to the Effective Time. During the
period from the date of the Merger Agreement until the completion of the Merger,
we are subject to certain restrictions on our ability to engage with third
parties regarding alternative acquisition proposals and on the conduct of our
business.

The closing of the Merger is expected to occur on August 3, 2021, pending the
receipt of the necessary shareholder approvals and satisfaction or waiver of the
other closing conditions specified in the Merger Agreement. Kimco and we have
each scheduled a special meeting of their shareholders for August 3, 2021
seeking their approval of Merger related proposals. There can be no assurance
that all closing conditions will be satisfied or waived by August 3, 2021, that
the Merger will close on August 3, 2021 or that the Merger will be consummated.

Please see the risks described in Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in our Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2020 and in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q. It is uncertain as to the magnitude of the impact of such
risks on our results of operations, cash flows, financial condition, or
liquidity for fiscal year 2021 and beyond.

Executive Overview

Weingarten Realty Investors is a REIT organized under the Texas Business
Organizations Code. We, and our predecessor entity, began the ownership of
shopping centers and other commercial real estate in 1948. Our primary business
is leasing space to tenants in the shopping centers we own or lease. These
centers may be mixed-use properties that have both retail and residential
components. We also provide property management services for which we charge
fees to either joint ventures where we are partners or other outside owners.

We operate a portfolio of rental properties, primarily neighborhood and
community shopping centers, totaling approximately 29.7 million square feet of
gross leasable area that is either owned by us or others. We have a diversified
tenant base with two of our largest tenants each comprising only 2.6% of base
minimum rental revenues during the six months of 2021.

                                       25

Table of Contents



At June 30, 2021, we owned or operated under long-term leases, either directly
or through our interest in real estate joint ventures or partnerships, a total
of 155 properties, which are located in 15 states spanning the country from
coast to coast.

We also owned interests in 20 parcels of land held for development that totaled approximately 11.1 million square feet at June 30, 2021.


We had approximately 3,400 leases with 2,700 different tenants at June 30, 2021.
Rental revenue is primarily derived from operating leases with terms of 10 years
or less, and may include multiple options, upon tenant election, to extend the
lease term in increments up to five years. Many of our leases have increasing
minimum rental rates during the terms of the leases through escalation
provisions. In addition, the majority of our leases provide for variable rental
revenues, such as reimbursements of real estate taxes, maintenance and insurance
and may include an amount based on a percentage of the tenants' sales. Our
anchor tenants are supermarkets, value-oriented apparel/discount stores and
other retailers or service providers who generally sell basic necessity-type
goods and services. Although there is a broad shift in shopping patterns,
including internet shopping that continues to affect our tenants, we believe our
anchor tenants, most of which have adopted omni-channel networks which help
drive foot traffic, combined with convenient locations, attractive and
well-maintained properties, high quality retailers and a strong tenant mix,
should lessen the effects of these conditions and maintain the viability of

our
portfolio.

Proposed Merger

On April 15, 2021, we announced our entry into the Merger Agreement with Kimco.
The Merger Agreement provides that, among other things and on the terms and
subject to the conditions set forth therein, (1) the Company will be merged with
and into Kimco, with Kimco continuing as the surviving corporation in the
Merger, and (2) at the Effective Time, each common share of the Company (other
than certain shares as set forth in the Merger Agreement) issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time will be automatically converted into the
right to receive (i) 1.408 shares of common stock of Kimco and (ii) $2.89 in
cash, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments and any adjustment that may
be made pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement in certain circumstances
relating to a special pre-closing distribution by us. On July 15, 2021, our
Board of Trust Managers declared a special dividend, which is payable on August
2, 2021 to shareholders of record on July 28, 2021. The special dividend is
being paid in connection with the anticipated Merger and to satisfy the REIT
taxable income distribution requirements. Under the terms of the Merger
Agreement, our payment of the special dividend adjusts the cash consideration to
be paid by Kimco at the closing of the Merger from $2.89 per share to $2.20 per
share, and does not affect the payment of the share consideration of 1.408 newly
issued shares of common stock of Kimco for each of our common shares owned
immediately prior to the Effective Time. During the period from the date of the
Merger Agreement until the completion of the Merger, we are subject to certain
restrictions on our ability to engage with third parties regarding alternative
acquisition proposals and on the conduct of our business.

The closing of the Merger is expected to occur on August 3, 2021, pending the
receipt of the necessary shareholder approvals and satisfaction or waiver of the
other closing conditions specified in the Merger Agreement. Kimco and we have
each scheduled a special meeting of their shareholders for August 3, 2021
seeking their approval of Merger related proposals. There can be no assurance
that all closing conditions will be satisfied or waived by August 3, 2021, that
the Merger will close on August 3, 2021 or that the Merger will be consummated.

Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically impacted our business due largely to the
hardships facing our tenants. Our tenants have been impacted greatly due to a
number of factors, including federal, state and local governmental and
legislative mandates to temporarily close and/or limit the operations of
non-essential businesses, as well as encouraging or mandating most people to
shelter in place and general economic conditions. While all of our markets have
embarked upon a reopening of select businesses, including retailers, service
providers and restaurants, the impact of these measures on the ability of our
tenants to pay rent is indeterminable at this time. Many of our tenants have
moved to include on-line sales with curbside pickup or delivery, including
restaurants, apparel discounters and electronics. The grocery stores and other
retailers with a grocery component that anchor the majority of our shopping
centers remain strong in this environment. The economy continues to gain
traction in the majority of our markets with substantially all of our tenants
open for business. Based on annualized base rents, including our share of
interest in real estate joint ventures or partnerships, we have estimated that
63% of our tenants are designated as essential businesses, including
restaurants. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, tenant fallouts have
decreased significantly compared to the prior year. During the six months ended
June 30, 2021 and 2020, tenant fallout represented approximately 252,000 and
762,000 square feet, respectively, representing approximately $6.8 million and
$16.3 million in annualized base rents, respectively, either directly or through
our interest in real estate joint ventures or partnerships. We are optimistic
that this trend will continue through 2021; however, there can be no assurance
that this favorable trend will continue.

We continue negotiations and have entered into rental concession agreements with
our tenants to provide some relief to the tenants greatly impacted by the
COVID-19 pandemic. As of July 19, 2021, we have negotiated deferrals with
tenants on approximately 1,001 leases, of which nearly $11.5 million remains of
rental payments that have been billed or are to be billed and are primarily
scheduled to be repaid by December 31, 2021. In addition, for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2021, rental revenues increased by $1.2 million and $2.9
million due to the realization of net recoveries. Due to the anticipated impact
from the administration of the COVID-19 vaccinations and the likely ensuing
increase in our tenant operations, our current expectation is that rent
collections will trend upward throughout 2021; however, no assurances can be
given that this will occur due to the uncertainties surrounding our tenants'
reopening and any resurgence of the pandemic and the governmental reaction to
any resurgence. As of July 19, 2021, tenant billing data, which includes base
minimum rental revenues and escrows for common area maintenance, real estate
taxes and insurance either directly or through our interest in real estate joint
ventures or partnerships, was as follows:


                                                     Percent of Cash
                                     Percent of      Collections for

To conserve liquidity and preserve financial flexibility in light of the
uncertainty surrounding the impact of COVID-19, we reduced our quarterly
dividend payments in 2020. At the pre-pandemic level we had been paying a
quarterly amount of $.395 per common share. Due to the magnitude of gain
generated by our dispositions during 2020, we paid a special dividend near
year-end of $.36 per common share. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, we
paid dividends of $.53 per common share. On July 15, 2021, our Board of Trust
Managers declared a special dividend of $.69 per common share that is being paid
in connection with the anticipated Merger and to satisfy the REIT taxable income
distribution requirements. Absent a significant deterioration in cash
collections, we believe our cash flow from operations and the availability under
of revolving credit facility will meet our currently planned capital needs;
however, no assurances can be given that this level of cash flow will occur due
to the uncertainty in the duration and restrictions of operations for our
tenants. Further, subject to the applicable restrictions contained in the Merger
Agreement, our ability to draw down under our revolving credit facility should
provide ample liquidity for us to operate and maintain compliance with our

debt
covenants.

Strategy

Subject to the proposed Merger, our goal is to remain a leader in owning and
operating top-tier neighborhood and community shopping centers and mixed-use
properties in certain markets of the United States. Our strategic initiatives
include: (1) owning quality shopping centers in preferred locations that attract
strong tenants, (2) growing net income from our existing portfolio by increasing
occupancy and rental rates, (3) raising net asset value and cash flow through
quality acquisitions and new developments, (4) continuously redeveloping our
existing shopping centers to increase cash flow and enhance the value of the
centers and (5) maintaining a strong, flexible consolidated balance sheet and a
well-managed debt maturity schedule. We believe these initiatives will keep our
portfolio of properties among the strongest in our sector. Due to current
capitalization rates in the market along with the uncertainty of changes in
interest rates and various other market conditions, and subject to the
applicable restrictions contained in the Merger Agreement, we intend to continue
to be very prudent in our evaluation of all new investment opportunities. We
have been focused on dispositions of properties with characteristics that impact
our willingness to own them going forward, and although we intend to continue
with this strategy, subject to the applicable restrictions contained in the
Merger Agreement, our dispositions are expected to decrease in 2021 from 2020.
We intend to utilize the proceeds from dispositions to, among other things, fund
the special dividend along with acquisitions and both new development and
redevelopment projects.

Dispositions



As we discussed above, we continuously recycle non-core operating centers that
no longer meet our ownership criteria and that will provide capital for growth
opportunities. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we disposed of real
estate assets, which were owned by us either directly or through our interest in
real estate joint ventures or partnerships, with our share of aggregate gross
sales proceeds totaling $70.9 million. We have approximately $21.0 million of
dispositions currently under contracts or letters of intent; however, there are
no assurances that these transactions will close at such prices or at all.
Subsequent to June 30, 2021, we sold two centers and other property, which were
owned by us either directly or through our interest in real estate joint
ventures or partnerships, with aggregate gross proceeds totaling $48.9 million.

Acquisitions



Subject to evolving market conditions and the applicable restrictions contained
in the Merger Agreement, we intend to continue to seek acquisition properties
that meet our return hurdles and to actively evaluate other opportunities as
they enter the market. Due to the significant amount of capital available in the
market, it has been difficult to participate at price points that meet our
investment criteria. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we acquired real
estate assets with an aggregate gross purchase price of $5.2 million.

New Development and Redevelopment


During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we invested $6.4 million in two
mixed-use new development projects that are partially or wholly owned and a
30-story, high-rise residential tower at our River Oaks Shopping Center in
Houston, Texas, and we invested $1.3 million in redevelopment projects that were
partially or wholly owned. Also during the six months ended June 30, 2021, three
completed redevelopment projects added approximately 100,000 square feet to the
portfolio with an incremental investment to date totaling $19.5 million.

Capital

We strive to maintain a strong, conservative capital structure, which should
provide ready access to a variety of attractive long and short-term capital
sources. We carefully balance lower cost, short-term financing with long-term
liabilities associated with acquired or developed long-term assets.
Additionally, proceeds from our disposition program and cash generated from
operations further strengthened our balance sheet in 2021. Due to the
variability in the capital markets and the applicable restrictions contained in
the Merger Agreement, there can be no assurance that favorable pricing and
accessibility will be available in the future.

Operational Metrics


In assessing the performance of our centers, management carefully monitors
various operating metrics of the portfolio. In light of current circumstances
and the continuing impact related to potentially uncollectible revenues, the
operating metrics of our portfolio performed well through the first six months
of 2021. We focused on collections and leasing efforts; including maintaining
our current tenants, to minimize the decline in same property net operating
income ("SPNOI"). See Non-GAAP Financial Measures for additional information.
Our portfolio delivered the following operating results:

? signed occupancy of 93.9% at June 30, 2021 increased from 93.4% at June

30, 2020;

? an increase of 24.1% in SPNOI for the three months ended June 30, 2021 over the

same period of 2020; and

? rental rate increases of 4.8% for new leases and 3.0% for renewals during the

six months ended June 30, 2021.

Below are performance metrics associated with our signed and commenced occupancy, SPNOI growth and leasing activity on a pro rata basis:

Changing shopping habits, driven by rapid expansion of internet-driven
procurement and accelerated by the pandemic, led to increased financial problems
for many businesses, which has had a negative impact on the retail real estate
sector. We continue to monitor the effects of these trends, including the impact
of retail customer spending over the long-term. We believe the desirability of
our physical locations, the significant diversification of our portfolio, both
geographically and by tenant base, and the quality of our portfolio, along with
its leading retailers and service providers that sell primarily grocery and
basic necessity-type goods and services, position us well to mitigate the impact
of these changes. Additionally, most retailers have implemented omni-channel
models that integrate on-line shopping with in-store experiences that has
further reinforced the need for bricks and mortar locations. Despite recent
market disruption and tenant bankruptcies, we continue to believe there is
long-term retailer demand for quality space within strong, strategically located
centers.

In 2020, we experienced fluctuations in tenant demand for retail space due to,
among other factors, announced bankruptcies and the repositioning of those
spaces. Currently, the future impact to occupancy is unknown due to the
uncertainty and duration of the pandemic. With an increase in availability of
quality retail space, some tenants have started to take advantage of accessing
these prime locations which contributed to the increase in overall rental rates
on a same-space basis as we completed new leases and renewed existing leases.
Given the uncertainty surrounding the impact of the pandemic, we are unclear of
its impact to rental rates and the funding of tenant improvements and
allowances. The variability in the mix of leasing transactions as to size of
space, market, use and other factors may impact the magnitude of these changes,
both positively and negatively. Leasing volume is anticipated to fluctuate due
to the uncertainty in tenant fallouts; including those related to both
bankruptcies and tenant non-renewals; however, leasing activity continues to
remain strong compared to the prior year.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates



Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is
based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been
prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements
requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of
assets, liabilities and contingencies as of the date of the financial statements
and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
We evaluate our assumptions and estimates on an ongoing basis using available
information. We base our estimates on current economic conditions, historical
experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable
under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making
judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not
readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these
estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Uncertainty in the current economic environment due to the outbreak of COVID-19
has and may continue to significantly impact the judgments regarding estimates
and assumptions utilized by management. The disclosure of our critical
accounting policies and estimates which affect our more significant judgments
and estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial
statements is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2020 in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations. There have been no significant changes to our
critical accounting policies during 2021.



Results of Operations



The COVID-19 pandemic has created uncertainties surrounding the global economy.
Additionally, as noted earlier, tenants have been markedly impacted by the
pandemic, which has affected our results. As a result, the full magnitude of the
pandemic and the ultimate effect upon our future revenues and operations is
uncertain at this time. While we are optimistic there will be a gradual
improvement in the retail environment resulting from the distribution of
vaccinations and the related reopening of the economy, we do not expect revenues
and operations to return to pre-COVID levels in the near term. In addition,
during the period from the date of the Merger Agreement until the Effective
Time, we are subject to certain restrictions on our ability to engage with third
parties regarding alternative acquisition proposals and on the conduct of our
business.

Revenues

The increase in revenues of $24.5 million is attributable primarily to a
decrease of $20.6 million for COVID related reserves and write-offs primarily
recorded in the second quarter of 2020 and the impact of $4.5 million and $2.8
million related to acquisitions and mixed-use new developments, respectively.
Revenues have also increased by $2.1 million due primarily to changes in
occupancy and rental rates and by a decline of $.1 million from rent abatements.
Partially offsetting these increases are revenues from dispositions of $5.6
million.

Depreciation and Amortization



The increase in depreciation and amortization of $2.4 million is attributable
primarily to the $5.2 million impact of acquisitions and mixed-use new
developments. Partially offsetting this increase is $1.9 million from
dispositions, and a decrease of $.9 million from the existing portfolio related
primarily with a reduction in the amortization/write-offs of in-place lease
intangibles associated with terminated tenant leases.

Operating Expenses



The $2.8 million increase in operating expenses is attributable primarily to the
impact from both acquisitions and mixed-use developments of $.5 million and $.8
million, respectively. In addition, an increase of $1.5 million is attributable
primarily to increases in landscaping due to winter storm damage, parking lot
repairs and management fees. Also, an increase of $.7 million was realized
between the respective periods due primarily to increases in professional fees,
insurance and other various fees associated primarily with vacancy. Partially
offsetting these increases is the impact of dispositions of $.7 million.



Real Estate Taxes, net



The $.6 million increase in real estate taxes, net is attributable primarily to
the impact from both acquisitions and mixed-use developments of $.7 million and
$.4 million, respectively. In addition, an increase of $.4 million is
attributable primarily to rate and valuation changes for the portfolio between
the respective periods, which is partially offset by dispositions of $.9
million.

General and Administrative Expenses

The decrease in general and administrative expenses of $1.2 million is attributable primarily to a decrease in the fair value adjustment of $2.1 million associated with assets held in a grantor trust related to deferred compensation, which is partially offset by an increase in personnel and associated costs.

Interest Expense, net

Net interest expense increased $1.5 million or 9.7%. The components of net interest expense were as follows (in thousands):




                                             Three Months Ended

The increase in net interest expense is attributable primarily to a reduction in
capitalized interest, which is primarily due to the near completion of two of
the residential portions of our mixed-use new developments. For the three months
ended June 30, 2021, the weighted average debt outstanding was $1.8 billion at a
weighted average interest rate of 3.9% as compared to $2.0 billion outstanding
at a weighted average interest rate of 3.6% in the same period of 2020.

Table of Contents

Interest and Other (Expense) Income, net



The increase in net other expense of $10.0 million is attributable primarily to
$8.4 million associated with merger related costs and a $2.1 million decrease in
the fair value adjustment for the assets held in a grantor trust related to
deferred compensation. Partially offsetting this increase is $.5 million
associated with the components of net periodic benefit costs from our pension
plan.

Gain on Sale of Property

The decrease of $7.4 million in gain on sale of property is attributable to a
decrease on the gain on sale of one center and other property in the second
quarter of 2021 as compared to one center and other property in the same period
of 2020.

Equity in Earnings of Real Estate Joint Ventures and Partnerships, net



The increase of $.9 million is attributable primarily to a reduction in COVID
related reserves and write-offs of $1.8 million, which is offset by disposition
activities between the respective periods of $.9 million.

Revenues

The increase in revenues of $34.5 million is attributable primarily to a
decrease of $31.7 million for COVID related reserves and write-offs primarily
recorded in the first six months of 2020 and the impact of $9.8 million and $5.0
million related to acquisitions and mixed-use new developments, respectively.
Partially offsetting these increases are revenues from dispositions of $11.0
million and rent abatements of $.4 million. Revenues have also declined by $.6
million due primarily to the fluctuations in occupancy related to tenant mix and
lease space size.

Depreciation and Amortization

The increase in depreciation and amortization of $4.3 million is attributable
primarily to the $10.6 million impact of acquisitions and mixed-use new
developments. Partially offsetting this increase is $4.0 million from
dispositions, and a decrease of $2.3 million from the existing portfolio related
primarily with a reduction in the amortization/write-offs of in-place lease
intangibles associated with terminated tenant leases.

  Table of Contents

Operating Expenses

The $2.9 million increase in operating expenses is attributable primarily to the
impact from both acquisitions and mixed-use developments of $1.2 million and
$1.5 million, respectively. In addition, an increase of $1.0 million is
attributable primarily to increases in landscaping due to winter storm damage,
parking lot repairs and management fees. Also, an increase of $.8 million was
realized between the respective periods due primarily to increases in
professional fees, insurance and other various fees associated primarily with
vacancy. Partially offsetting these increases is the impact of dispositions

of
$1.6 million.



Real Estate Taxes, net

The $2.3 million increase in real estate taxes, net is attributable primarily to
the impact from both acquisitions and mixed-use developments of $1.7 million and
$1.0 million, respectively. In addition, an increase of $1.3 million is
attributable primarily to rate and valuation changes for the portfolio between
the respective periods, which is partially offset by dispositions of $1.7
million.

General and Administrative Expenses



The increase in general and administrative expenses of $7.1 million is
attributable primarily to a fair value increase of $5.2 million associated with
assets held in a grantor trust related to deferred compensation, an increase of
$.2 million in severance costs between the respective periods and by an increase
in personnel and associated costs.

Interest Expense, net

Net interest expense increased $3.5 million or 11.7%. The components of net interest expense were as follows (in thousands):




                                              Six Months Ended

Total                                      $  33,922    $  30,378


The increase in net interest expense is attributable primarily to a reduction in
capitalized interest and an increase in gross interest expense. The reduction of
capitalized interest is primarily due to the near completion of two of the
residential portions of our mixed-use new developments. The increase in gross
interest expense between the respective periods is attributable primarily to an
increase in weighted average interest rates, which is offset by a reduction in
the weighted average debt outstanding. For the six months ended June 30, 2021,
the weighted average debt outstanding was $1.8 billion at a weighted average
interest rate of 3.9% as compared to $1.9 billion outstanding at a weighted
average interest rate of 3.7% in the same period of 2020.

Interest and Other (Expense) Income, net


The net other expense increase of $2.5 million is attributable primarily to $8.4
million associated with merger related costs. Partially offsetting this increase
is a $5.2 million fair value adjustment associated with assets held in a grantor
trust related to deferred compensation and $.8 million associated with
components of net periodic benefit costs from our pension plan.

Gain on Sale of Property



The decrease of $11.9 million in gain on sale of property is attributable to a
decrease on the gain on sale of three centers and other property in the first
six months of 2021 as compared to two centers and other property in the same
period of 2020.

                                       34

  Table of Contents

Equity in Earnings of Real Estate Joint Ventures and Partnerships, net



The decrease of $22.2 million is attributable primarily to disposition
activities between the respective periods of $24.5 million. Partially offsetting
this decrease is a reduction in COVID related reserves and write-offs of $2.2
million.

Capital Resources and Liquidity



Our primary operating liquidity needs are paying our common share dividends,
maintaining and operating our existing properties, paying our debt service
costs, excluding debt maturities, and funding capital expenditures. Our
anticipated cash flows from operating activities, as well as the availability of
funds under our unsecured revolving credit facility are expected to meet these
planned capital needs; however, no assurance can be given due to, among other
factors, the evolving impact of the pandemic and the restrictions in the Merger
Agreement on the conduct of our business.

The primary sources of capital for funding any debt maturities, acquisitions,
share repurchases, new developments and redevelopments are our excess cash flow
generated by our operating and new development properties; credit facilities;
proceeds from both secured and unsecured debt issuances; proceeds from equity
issuances; cash generated from the sale of property or interests in real estate
joint ventures and partnerships and the formation of joint ventures. Amounts
outstanding under the unsecured revolving credit facility are retired as needed
with proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt, equity, cash generated from
the disposition of properties and cash flow generated by our operating
properties.

As of June 30, 2021, we had an available borrowing capacity of $498.1 million
under our unsecured revolving credit facility, and had cash and cash equivalents
available of $73.3 million. Subject to the provisions of the Merger Agreement,
currently, we anticipate our disposition activities to continue, albeit at a
lower rate. We believe other debt and equity alternatives are available to us
based on recent market transactions within our industry sector, subject to the
applicable restrictions contained in the Merger Agreement.

Subject to the applicable restrictions contained in the Merger Agreement, we
believe net proceeds from planned capital recycling and operations, combined
with our available capacity under the revolving credit and short-term borrowing
facilities, will provide adequate liquidity to fund our capital needs, including
any acquisitions, redevelopment and new development activities and, if
necessary, special dividends. In the event our capital recycling program does
not progress as expected, we believe other debt and equity alternatives are
available to us, subject to the applicable restrictions contained in the Merger
Agreement.

On July 15, 2021, our Board of Trust Managers declared a special dividend of
$.69 per common share, which is payable on August 2, 2021 to shareholders of
record on July 28, 2021. The special dividend is being paid in connection with
the anticipated Merger and to satisfy the REIT taxable income distribution
requirements. We anticipate the payment of the dividend using operational cash
inflows and available cash.

We generally have the ability to sell or otherwise dispose of our assets subject
to the applicable restrictions contained in the Merger Agreement and in certain
cases, where we are required to obtain our joint venture partners' consent or a
lender's consent for assets held in special purpose entities. Additionally under
many of our joint venture agreements, we and our joint venture partners are
required to fund operating capital upon shortfalls in working capital. As
operating manager of most of these entities, we have considered these funding
requirements in our forecasting. Also our material real estate joint ventures
are with entities which appear sufficiently stable; however, if market
conditions were to deteriorate and our partners are unable to meet their
commitments, our venture agreements provide multiple remedies, including but not
limited to, the liquidation of the venture. Further, under these conditions, we
would be required to reconsider our consolidation conclusions for those
ventures, and it is possible we may have to consolidate any unconsolidated

interests.

Operating Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, cash flows from operations have
increased by $16.4 million compared to the same period in 2020. This increase is
attributable primarily to the impact in 2020 of the pandemic on rent collections
including an increase in the number of tenants placed on a cash basis and
concession agreements put in place to assist them during the uncertainty.
Collections of rents due were initially hindered in the latter part of the first
quarter and continued into the second quarter of 2020; however, during the six
months ended June 30, 2021, we have collected approximately 97% of our tenant
billings. We expect operating activities in 2021 to cover our human capital
expenditures including salaries and related benefits, along with property
operating expenses.

Since 2018, we have experienced a downward trend in revenues due to dispositions
related to our portfolio transformation in which we have pruned our portfolio to
concentrate on high-quality, grocery anchored, open-air centers located in the
southern and western U.S. that provide basic goods and services. Additionally,
revenues in 2020 also declined due to the impact of the pandemic. We anticipate
that 2021 may see some recovery of revenues originally impacted by the pandemic;
however, recoveries will be offset by lower revenues as a result of our 2020
dispositions and any continuing effects or resurgence of the pandemic.

Investing Activities

Acquisitions

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we acquired real estate assets with an aggregate gross purchase price of $5.2 million.

Dispositions


During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we sold three centers and other
property, including real estate assets owned through our interest in
unconsolidated real estate joint ventures and partnerships. Our share of
aggregate gross sales proceeds from these transactions totaled $70.9 million and
generated our share of the gains of approximately $9.5 million. Operating cash
flows from assets disposed are included in net cash from operating activities in
our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, while proceeds from these
disposals are included as investing activities.

We have approximately $21.0 million of dispositions currently under contracts or
letters of intent; however, there are no assurances that these transactions will
close at such prices or at all. Subsequent to June 30, 2021, we sold two centers
and other property, which were owned by us either directly or through our
interest in real estate joint ventures or partnerships, with aggregate gross
proceeds totaling $48.9 million.

As mentioned under operating activities, our transformation program resulted in
significant dispositions over the last few years, which has resulted in a
downward trend in our cash flows from dispositions and associated gains.
Dispositions have been an essential component of our ongoing strategy to remove
properties that no longer meet our growth or geographic targets.

New Development/Redevelopment



At June 30, 2021, we had two mixed-use projects in the Washington D. C. market
and a 30-story, high-rise residential tower at our River Oaks Shopping Center in
Houston in various stages of development, which are partially or wholly owned.
We have funded $450.8 million through June 30, 2021 on these projects. Upon
completion, we expect our aggregate net investment in these multi-use projects
to be $485.0 million and will add approximately .2 million of total square
footage for retail and 962 residential units to the property portfolio; however,
the timing of the realization of a stabilized return is currently unknown due to
the uncertainties regarding the impact of COVID-19.

                                       36

Table of Contents


At June 30, 2021, we had five redevelopment projects with an expected final
investment estimated to be $25.4 million, of which we have funded approximately
$22.7 million. Realization of the stabilized return may take longer than
originally planned due to the impact of COVID-19. During the six months ended
June 30, 2021, three completed redevelopment projects added approximately
100,000 square feet to the portfolio with an incremental investment to date
totaling $19.5 million.

We had approximately $38.7 million in land held for development at June 30, 2021 that may either be developed or sold.

Capital Expenditures


Capital expenditures for additions to the existing portfolio, acquisitions,
tenant improvements, new development, redevelopment and our share of investments
in unconsolidated real estate joint ventures and partnerships are as follows (in
thousands):




                          Six Months Ended
                              June 30,

Total                   $ 38,592    $ 108,155




The decrease in capital expenditures is attributable primarily to a reduction in
acquisitions and new development activity as a result of the near completion of
two of the residential portions of our mixed-use new developments.

Further, we have entered into commitments aggregating $42.2 million comprised
principally of construction contracts, which are generally due in 12 to
36 months and anticipated to be funded through our excess cash flow funded by
operating activities or with proceeds from our unsecured revolving credit
facility.

Capital expenditures for additions described above relate to cash flows from investing activities as follows (in thousands):

Financing Activities

Debt

Total debt outstanding was $1.8 billion at June 30, 2021, which bears interest
at fixed rates. Additionally, of our total debt, $333.1 million was secured by
operating properties while the remaining $1.5 billion was unsecured. We also had
letters of credit totaling $7.9 million outstanding at June 30, 2021. Our debt
maturities for the remainder of 2021 and for 2022 total $2.8 million and $308.3
million, respectively (see Note 5 for additional information on Debt
maturities). For 2021, we expect to fund our outstanding maturities through our
excess cash flow generated by our operating properties, credit facilities and
cash generated from dispositions. If the Merger does not occur prior to such
time, the 2022 maturities are expected be funded through our excess cash flow
generated by our operating properties, credit facilities, cash generated from
dispositions or with proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt.

At June 30, 2021, we have a $500 million unsecured revolving credit facility,
which expires in March 2024 and provides borrowing rates that float at a margin
over LIBOR plus a facility fee. At June 30, 2021, the borrowing margin and
facility fee, which are priced off a grid that is tied to our senior unsecured
credit ratings, were 82.5 and 15 basis points, respectively. The facility also
contains a competitive bid feature that allows us to request bids for up to $250
million. Additionally, an accordion feature allows us to increase the facility
amount up to $850 million. As of July 27, 2021, we had no outstanding balance,
and the available balance was $498.1 million, net of $1.9 million in outstanding
letters of credit.

At June 30, 2021, we have a $10 million unsecured short-term facility that we
maintain for cash management purposes. The facility, which matures in March
2022, provides for fixed interest rate loans at a 30-day LIBOR rate plus
borrowing margin, facility fee and an unused facility fee of 125, 10, and 5
basis points, respectively. As of July 27, 2021, we had no amounts outstanding
under this facility.

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the maximum balance and weighted average
balance outstanding under both facilities combined were $40.0 million and $2.7
million, respectively, at a weighted average interest rate of .9%.

We have non-recourse debt secured by properties held in several of our real
estate joint ventures and partnerships. At June 30, 2021, off-balance sheet
mortgage debt for our unconsolidated real estate joint ventures and partnerships
totaled $191.1 million, of which our pro rata ownership is $44.6 million.
Scheduled principal mortgage payments on this debt, excluding deferred debt
costs and non-cash related items totaling $(.2) million, at 100% are as follows
(in millions):




2021 remaining    $   1.4
2022                172.1
2023                  2.2
2024                  2.3
2025                  2.3
Thereafter           11.0
Total             $ 191.3




During the first quarter 2021, a joint venture extended its $170 million loan
under an available one-year extension. The remaining 2021 maturities are
expected to be paid by excess operating funds from the related venture or
partnership and/or capital calls of which we would use our funds from our other
operating properties, credit facilities and cash generated from dispositions.
For the 2022 maturities, we expect the joint venture to extend its $170 million
loan under an available one-year extension or refinance the loan.

Our five most restrictive covenants, composed from both our public debt and
revolving credit facility, include debt to asset, secured debt to asset, fixed
charge, unencumbered asset test and unencumbered interest coverage ratios. We
are not aware of any non-compliance with our public debt and revolving credit
facility covenants as of June 30, 2021.

Our most restrictive public debt covenant ratios, as defined in our indenture and supplemental indenture agreements, were as follows at June 30, 2021:






         Covenant                 Restriction        Actual
Debt to Asset Ratio              Less than 60.0 %      36.8 %

Unencumbered Asset Test        Greater than 150 %     290.8 %




Included in our debt balance is a guaranty we provided for the payment of any
debt service shortfalls on tax increment revenue bonds issued in connection with
a development project in Sheridan, Colorado. The Sheridan Redevelopment Agency
issued Series A bonds used for an urban renewal project, of which $53.7 million
remain outstanding at June 30, 2021. The bonds are to be repaid with incremental
sales and property taxes and a PIF to be assessed on current and future retail
sales and, to the extent necessary, any amounts we may have to provide under a
guaranty. The incremental taxes and PIF are to remain intact until the earlier
of the payment of the bond liability in full or 2040.

Equity


Common share dividends paid totaled $67.6 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2021. Our dividend payout ratio (as calculated as dividends paid on
common shares divided by core funds from operations attributable to common
shareholders - basic) for the six months ended June 30, 2021 approximated 53.9%
(see Non-GAAP Financial Measures for additional information). On July 15, 2021,
our Board of Trust Managers declared a special dividend of $.69 per common
share, which is payable on August 2, 2021 to shareholders of record on July 28,
2021. The special dividend is being paid in connection with the anticipated
Merger and to satisfy the REIT taxable income distribution requirements. Funds
to pay dividends and share repurchases would come initially from excess proceeds
from operations, dispositions and our outstanding credit facilities.

We have a $200 million share repurchase plan. Under this plan, subject to the
applicable restrictions set forth in the Merger Agreement, we may repurchase
common shares from time-to-time in open-market or in privately negotiated
purchases. The timing and amount of any shares repurchased will be determined by
management based on its evaluation of market conditions and other factors. The
repurchase plan may be suspended or discontinued at any time, and we have no
obligations to repurchase any amount of our common shares under the plan. During
the six months ended June 30, 2021, no common shares were repurchased. At June
30, 2021 and as of the date of this filing, $149.4 million of common shares
remained available to be repurchased under this plan.

We have an effective universal shelf registration statement, which expires in
September 2023. Subject to the provisions of the Merger Agreement, we will
continue to closely monitor both the debt and equity markets and carefully
consider our available financing alternatives, including both public offerings
and private placements.

Merger Costs

The closing of the Merger is expected to occur on August 3, 2021, pending the
receipt of the necessary shareholder approvals and satisfaction or waiver of the
other closing conditions specified in the Merger Agreement (although there can
be no assurance that all closing conditions will be satisfied or waived by
August 3, 2021, that the Merger will close on August 3, 2021 or that the Merger
will be consummated). For the six months ended June 30, 2021, we have recorded
costs of $8.4 million associated with the Merger. Estimated additional costs to
be paid, if and when the Merger closes are $46.1 million which includes costs
associated primarily with personnel and financial, legal, tax and audit
advisors. These costs are expected to be funded through our credit facilities or
cash generated from dispositions. These estimates are based on the best
information available to management and may be impacted by future developments
related to the Merger that could result in inaccurate estimates that could be
material to our consolidated financial statements.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Certain of our key performance indicators are considered non-GAAP financial measures. Management uses these measures along with our GAAP financial statements in order to evaluate our operating results. We believe these additional measures provide users of our financial information additional comparable indicators of our industry, as well as, our performance.

Funds from Operations Attributable to Common Shareholders

The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") defines
NAREIT FFO as net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders computed in
accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from sales of certain real
estate assets (including: depreciable real estate with land, land, development
property and securities), change in control of real estate equity investments,
and interests in real estate equity investments and their applicable taxes, plus
depreciation and amortization related to real estate and impairment of certain
real estate assets and in substance real estate equity investments, including
our share of unconsolidated real estate joint ventures and partnerships. We
calculate NAREIT FFO in a manner consistent with the NAREIT definition.

Management believes NAREIT FFO is a widely recognized measure of REIT operating
performance, which provides our shareholders with a relevant basis for
comparison among other REITs. Management uses NAREIT FFO as a supplemental
internal measure to conduct and evaluate our business because there are certain
limitations associated with using GAAP net income by itself as the primary
measure of our operating performance. Historical cost accounting for real estate
assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate
assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have
historically risen or fallen with market conditions, management believes that
the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that uses
historical cost accounting is insufficient by itself. There can be no assurance
that NAREIT FFO presented by us is comparable to similarly titled measures of
other REITs.

We also present Core FFO as an additional supplemental measure as it is more
reflective of the core operating performance of our portfolio of properties.
Core FFO is defined as NAREIT FFO excluding charges and gains related to
non-cash, non-operating assets and other transactions or events that hinder the
comparability of operating results. Specific examples of items excluded from
Core FFO include, but are not limited to, gains or losses associated with the
extinguishment of debt or other liabilities and transactional costs associated
with unsuccessful development activities.

NAREIT FFO and Core FFO should not be considered as alternatives to net income
or other measurements under GAAP as indicators of operating performance or to
cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities as measures of
liquidity. NAREIT FFO and Core FFO do not reflect working capital changes, cash
expenditures for capital improvements or principal payments on indebtedness.

Same Property Net Operating Income



We consider SPNOI an important additional financial measure because it reflects
only those income and expense items that are incurred at the property level, and
when compared across periods, reflects the impact on operations from trends in
occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs. We calculate this most useful
measurement by determining our proportional share of SPNOI from all owned
properties, including our share of SPNOI from unconsolidated joint ventures and
partnerships, which cannot be readily determined under GAAP measurements and
presentation. Although SPNOI is a widely used measure among REITs, there can be
no assurance that SPNOI presented by us is comparable to similarly titled
measures of other REITs. Additionally, we do not control these unconsolidated
joint ventures and partnerships, and the assets, liabilities, revenues or
expenses of these joint ventures and partnerships, as presented, do not
represent our legal claim to such items.

                                       41

Properties are included in the SPNOI calculation if they are owned and operated
for the entirety of the most recent two fiscal year periods, except for
properties for which significant redevelopment or expansion occurred during
either of the periods presented, and properties that have been sold. While there
is judgment surrounding changes in designations, we move new development and
redevelopment properties once they have stabilized, which is typically upon
attainment of 90% occupancy. A rollforward of the properties included in our
same property designation is as follows:

We calculate SPNOI using net income attributable to common shareholders and
adjusted for net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, other income
(expense), income taxes and equity in earnings of real estate joint ventures and
partnerships. Additionally to reconcile to SPNOI, we exclude the effects of
property management fees, certain non-cash revenues and expenses such as
straight-line rental revenue and the related reversal of such amounts upon early
lease termination, depreciation and amortization, impairment losses, general and
administrative expenses and other items such as lease cancellation income,
environmental abatement costs, demolition expenses, and lease termination fees.
Consistent with the capital treatment of such costs under GAAP, tenant
improvements, leasing commissions and other direct leasing costs are excluded
from SPNOI. A reconciliation of net income attributable to common shareholders
to SPNOI is as follows (in thousands):
