Part I.
Item 1.     Business
The Company is a real estate investment trust ("REIT") that focuses on owning and operating income producing retail properties with a primary focus on grocery-anchored shopping centers primarily in the Northeast. At December 31, 2023, the Company owned a portfolio of 19 properties totaling 2.8 million square feet of gross leasable area ("GLA"). The portfolio was 89.6% leased and 86.4% occupied at December 31, 2023.
The Company, organized as a Maryland corporation in 1984, has elected to be taxed as a REIT under applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). To qualify as a REIT under those provisions, the Company must have a preponderant percentage of its assets invested in, and income derived from, real estate and related sources. The Company is a commercial real estate investment company that owns income-producing retail properties with a primary focus on grocery-anchored centers.
The Company has established an umbrella partnership structure through the contribution of substantially all of its assets to Cedar Realty Trust Partnership, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"), organized as a limited partnership under the laws of Delaware. The Operating Partnership is the entity through which the Company conducts substantially all of its business and owns (either directly or through subsidiaries) substantially all of its assets. Prior to consummation of the Transactions, the Operating Partnership had limited partners other than the Company, but their limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership were settled pursuant to the Merger Agreement, as described below. At December 31, 2023, the Company, which is a subsidiary of WHLR (as defined herein), owned a 100.0% interest in, and was the sole general partner of, the Operating Partnership.
The Company, the Operating Partnership, their subsidiaries and affiliated partnerships are separate legal entities. For ease of reference, the terms "we", "our", "us", "Company" and "Operating Partnership" (including their respective subsidiaries and affiliates) refer to the business and properties of all these entities, unless the context otherwise requires.
Asset Sale and Merger
On March 2, 2022, the Company entered into definitive agreements for the sale of the Company and its assets in a series of related all-cash transactions. Specifically, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into an asset purchase and sale agreement (the "Asset Purchase Agreement") with DRA Fund X-B LLC and KPR Centers LLC (together with their respective designees, the "Grocery-Anchored Purchasers") for the sale of a portfolio of 33 grocery-anchored shopping centers for cash (the "Grocery-Anchored Portfolio Sale"). In addition, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the "Merger Agreement") with Wheeler Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. ("WHLR") and certain of its affiliates pursuant to which, following closing of the Grocery-Anchored Portfolio Sale, WHLR acquired the balance of the Company's shopping center assets by way of an all-cash merger transaction (the "Merger").
The transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement and the Merger Agreement are collectively referred to as the "Transactions". The Transactions were unanimously approved by the Company's former Board of Directors and were approved by the Company's common stockholders at a special meeting of stockholders held on May 27, 2022.
On July 7, 2022, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries completed the Grocery-Anchored Portfolio Sale and the East River Park and Senator Square redevelopment asset sales for total gross proceeds of approximately $879 million, including the assumed debt. There were no material relationships among the Company, the Grocery-Anchored Purchasers, or any of their respective affiliates. On August 22, 2022, the Company completed the Merger. Each outstanding share of common stock of the Company and outstanding common unit of the Operating Partnership held by persons other than the Company immediately prior to the Merger were canceled and converted into the right to receive a cash payment of $9.48 per share or unit. As a result of the Merger, WHLR acquired all of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock, which ceased to be publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). The Company's outstanding 7.25% Series B Preferred Stock and 6.50% Series C Preferred Stock remain outstanding and continue to trade on the NYSE. In addition, prior to consummation of the Merger, the Company's Board of Directors declared a special dividend on shares of the Company's outstanding common stock and OP Units of $19.52 per share, payable to holders of record of the Company's common stock and OP Units at the close of business on August 19, 2022.
The Company derives substantially all of its revenues from rents and operating expense reimbursements received pursuant to long-term leases. The Company's operating results therefore depend on the ability of its tenants to make the payments required by the terms of their leases. The Company focuses its investment activities on grocery-anchored shopping centers. The Company believes that, because of the need of consumers to purchase food and other staple goods and services generally available at such centers, its type of "necessities-based" properties should provide relatively stable revenue flows even during difficult economic times.

Human Capital Management
Our Team
All individuals that provide services to the Company are employees of WHLR and participate in WHLR's compensation, benefits, professional development and other programs. For a discussion of WHLR's human capital management, please see WHLR's 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Business Objectives and Investment Strategy
Our primary business objective is to maximize the value of our portfolio. We intend to achieve this objective utilizing the following investment strategies:
Focus on necessity-based retail. Own and operate retail properties that serve the essential day-to-day shopping needs of the surrounding communities. These necessity-based centers attract high levels of daily traffic resulting in cross-selling of goods and services from our tenants. The majority of our tenants provide non-cyclical consumer goods and services that are less impacted by fluctuations in the economy. We believe these centers that provide essential goods and services such as groceries result in a stable, lower-risk portfolio of retail investment properties.
Focus on secondary and tertiary markets with strong demographics and demand. Our properties are in markets that have strong demographics such as population density, population stability, consistent tenant sales trends and growth in household income. We seek to identify new tenants and renew leases with existing tenants in these locations that support the need for necessity-based retail and limited new supply. We aim to identify and pursue attractive investment opportunities in regions with low taxes and a pro-business environment.
Increase operating income through leasing strategies and expense management. We employ intensive lease management strategies to optimize occupancy. Management has extensive expertise in acquiring and managing under-performing properties and increasing operating income through more effective leasing strategies and expense management. Our leases generally require the tenant to reimburse us for a substantial portion of the expenses incurred in operating, maintaining, repairing, and managing the shopping center and the common areas, along with the associated insurance costs and real estate taxes. In many cases, the tenant is either fully or partially responsible for all maintenance of the property, thereby limiting our financial exposure towards maintaining the center and increasing our net income. We refer to this arrangement as a "triple net lease."
Selectively utilize our capital to improve retail properties. We intend to make capital investments where the risk adjusted returns on such capital is accretive to our stockholders. We allocate capital to value-added improvements of retail properties to increase rents, extend long-term leases with anchor tenants and increase occupancy. We selectively allocate capital to revenue enhancing projects that we believe will improve the market position of a given property.
Recycling and sensible management of our property portfolio. We intend to sell non-income producing land parcels or non-core assets utilizing sales proceeds to deleverage the balance sheet and invest in higher yielding opportunities. Properties may be slated for disposition based upon management's periodic review of our portfolio, and approval by our Board of Directors.
Strategy for optimizing capital structure. The Company seeks to mitigate risk and optimize its capital structure through continuous focus on maintaining prudent leverage and lengthy average debt maturities, as well as access to a diverse selection of capital sources, including the secured and unsecured debt markets, unsecured lines of credit, and other sources.
Strategy for integrating acquisitions. As the Company undertakes acquisitions, we seek to thoughtfully integrate the acquired properties and any software and personnel to maximize efficiencies both at the property and corporate level.
Governmental Regulations Affecting Our Properties
We and our properties are subject to a variety of federal, state and local environmental, health, safety, tax and similar laws. The application of these laws to a specific property that we own depends on a variety of property-specific circumstances, including the current and former uses of the property, the building materials used at the property and the physical layout of the property. Neither existing environmental, health, safety and similar laws nor the costs of our compliance with these laws has had a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations, and management does not believe they will for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024. In addition, we have not incurred, and do not expect to incur, any material costs or liabilities due to environmental contamination at properties we currently own or have owned in the past. However, we cannot predict the impact of new
6

or changed laws or regulations on properties we currently own or may acquire in the future. We have no current plans for substantial capital expenditures with respect to compliance with environmental, health, safety and similar laws and we carry environmental insurance that covers a number of environmental risks for most of our properties.
Competition
Numerous commercial developers and real estate companies compete with us with respect to the leasing of properties. Some of these competitors may possess greater capital resources than we do, although we do not believe that any single competitor or group of competitors in any of the primary markets where our properties are located are dominant in that market. This competition may interfere with our ability to attract and retain tenants, leading to increased vacancy rates and/or reduced rents and adversely affect our ability to minimize operating expenses.
Retailers at our properties also face increasing competition from online retailers, outlet stores, discount shopping clubs, superstores, and other forms of sales and marketing of goods and services, such as direct mail. This competition could contribute to lease defaults and insolvency of tenants.
Climate
Some of our properties could be subject to natural or other disasters. In addition, we may acquire properties that are located in areas that are subject to natural disasters, such as earthquakes and droughts. Properties could also be affected by increases in the frequency or severity of tornadoes, hurricanes or other severe weather, whether such increases are caused by global climate changes or other factors. The occurrence of natural disasters or severe weather conditions can increase investment costs to repair or replace damaged properties, increase operating costs, increase future property insurance costs, and/or negatively impact the tenant demand for lease space. If insurance is unavailable to us, or is unavailable on acceptable terms, or if our insurance is not adequate to cover business interruption or losses from such events, our earnings, liquidity and/or capital resources could be adversely affected. While several of our properties are located in areas that have experienced hurricanes, tornados, severe rain storms, or snow during the past two years, there has been no substantial damage or change in operations related to weather events.
Insurance
The Company carries comprehensive liability, property, fire, flood, wind, extended coverage, business interruption and rental loss insurance covering all of the properties in its portfolio under an insurance policy, in addition to other coverages, such as trademark and pollution coverage that may be appropriate for certain of its properties. Additionally, the Company carries a directors', officers', entity and employment practices liability insurance policy that covers such claims made against the Company and its directors and officers. The Company believes the policy specifications and insured limits are appropriate and adequate for its properties given the relative risk of loss, the cost of the coverage and industry practice; however, its insurance coverage may not be sufficient to fully cover losses. Increases in the occurrence of natural disasters and severe weather patterns have led to a consistent increase in overall rates, deductibles and valuations from insurance carriers, which have resulted in increased costs of necessary insurance required to protect our assets.
Available Information
We are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. Therefore, we file reports, proxy statements and other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The SEC maintains a website (www.sec.gov) that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC, including us.
The Company's investor relations website can be accessed under the "Investors" tab at https://ir.cedarrealtytrust.com/, where a copy of the Company's Forms 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K and other filings with the SEC can be obtained free of charge. These SEC filings are added to the website as soon as reasonably practicable. Information on the website is not part of this Form 10-K.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information under this item.
Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments: None
Item 1C. Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity Risk Management and Strategy
The Company depends on the proper functioning, availability and security of its information systems, including financial, data processing, communications and operating systems. Several information systems are software applications provided by third parties. Although risks from cybersecurity threats have to date not materially affected, and we do not believe they are reasonably likely to materially affect, us, our business strategy, results of operations or financial condition, like other companies in our industry, we could, from time to time, experience threats and security incidents related to our and our third-party vendors' information systems, including attempts to gain unauthorized access to our confidential data, and other electronic security breaches. Such cybersecurity attacks can range from individual attempts to gain unauthorized access to our information technology systems to more sophisticated security threats. While we employ a number of measures to prevent, detect and mitigate these threats, there is no guarantee such efforts will be successful in preventing a cybersecurity attack. A cybersecurity attack could compromise the confidential information of our employees, tenants and vendors. A successful cybersecurity attack could disrupt and otherwise adversely affect our business operations.
Assessment, identification and management of cybersecurity related risks are integrated into our overall risk management process. Cybersecurity related risks are included in the risk universe we evaluate to assess top risks to the Company at least annually. To the extent our processes identify a heightened cybersecurity related risk, risk owners are assigned to develop risk mitigation plans, which are then tracked to completion.
Cybersecurity Governance
Our Board of Directors considers cybersecurity risk as part of its risk oversight function and has delegated oversight of cybersecurity risk strategy and governance and of other information technology risks to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Audit Committee"). The Audit Committee reports to the full Board of Directors regarding its activities, including those related to cybersecurity. Senior management, including the Company's CEO, CFO, and General Counsel, is responsible for assessing and managing cybersecurity risk, and provides briefings regarding the assessment and management of such risk to the Audit Committee, which then reports, as necessary, to the Board of Directors. Although members of our senior management do not have direct cybersecurity expertise obtained through certifications, their experience managing the Company, which includes consulting and coordinating as necessary with a third party information technology expert referred to below, enables them to effectively assess and manage material risks from cybersecurity threats.
The Company retained an information technology expert third party company to assist in managing relevant risks. In particular, the Company outsources its information technology function and monitoring to a third party provider whereby it benefits from a professionally managed network monitoring, management, maintenance, detection and response system and a 24/7 security operations center with both onsite and remote support services. Any cybersecurity incident would be reported to the Company promptly by our third party consultant and material and potentially material incidents would be assessed by management and the Audit Committee for remediation and future prevention and detection.
The Company, at least annually, updates its policies or procedures that could help mitigate cybersecurity risks. Notwithstanding the extensive approach we take to cybersecurity, we may not be successful in preventing or mitigating a cybersecurity incident that could have a material adverse effect on us. The Company has incorporated cybersecurity coverage in its insurance policies; however, there is no assurance that the insurance the Company maintains will cover all cybersecurity breaches or that policy limits will be sufficient to cover all related losses.

The Company's Properties
The terms of the Company's retail leases generally vary from tenancies at will to 25 years, excluding renewal options. Anchor tenant leases are typically for 10 to 25 years, with one or more renewal options available to the lessee upon expiration of the initial lease term. By contrast, smaller store leases are typically negotiated for five-year terms. The longer terms of major tenant leases serve to protect the Company against significant vacancies and to assure the presence of strong tenants which draw consumers to its centers. The shorter terms of smaller store leases allow the Company under appropriate circumstances to adjust rental rates periodically and, where possible, to upgrade or adjust the overall tenant mix.
Most leases contain provisions requiring tenants to pay their pro rata share of real estate taxes, insurance and certain operating costs. Some leases also provide that tenants pay percentage rent based upon sales volume generally in excess of certain negotiated minimums.
WHLR performs property management and leasing services for the Company pursuant to the Wheeler Real Estate Company Management Agreement. See Note 16 of "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" included in Item 8 below for further information.

Executive Summary
The Company is a real estate investment trust that focuses on owning and operating income producing retail properties with a primary focus on grocery-anchored shopping centers in the Northeast. At December 31, 2023, the Company owned a portfolio of 19 properties totaling 2.8 million square feet of GLA. The portfolio was 89.6% leased and 86.4% occupied at December 31, 2023.
The Company, organized as a Maryland corporation, has established an umbrella partnership structure through the contribution of substantially all of its assets to the Operating Partnership, organized as a limited partnership under the laws of Delaware. The Operating Partnership is the entity through which the Company conducts substantially all of its business and owns (either directly or through subsidiaries) substantially all of its assets. At December 31, 2023, the Company, which is a subsidiary of WHLR, owned a 100.0% interest in, and was the sole general partner of, the Operating Partnership.
The Company derives substantially all of its revenues from rents and operating expense reimbursements received pursuant to leases. The Company's operating results therefore depend on the ability of its tenants to make the payments required by the terms of their leases. The Company focuses its investment activities on grocery-anchored shopping centers. The Company believes that, because of the need of consumers to purchase food and other staple goods and services generally available at such centers, its type of "necessities-based" properties should provide relatively stable revenue flows even during difficult economic times.
Asset Sale and Merger
On March 2, 2022, the Company entered into definitive agreements for the sale of the Company and its assets in a series of related all-cash transactions. Specifically, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into an asset purchase and sale agreement (the "Asset Purchase Agreement") with DRA Fund X-B LLC and KPR Centers LLC (together with their respective designees, the "Grocery-Anchored Purchasers") for the sale of a portfolio of 33 grocery-anchored shopping centers for cash (the "Grocery-Anchored Portfolio Sale"). In addition, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the "Merger Agreement") with WHLR and certain of its affiliates pursuant to which, following closing of the Grocery-Anchored Portfolio Sale, WHLR acquired the balance of the Company's shopping center assets by way of an all-cash merger transaction (the "Merger").
The transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement and the Merger Agreement are collectively referred to as the "Transactions." The Transactions were unanimously approved by the Company's former Board of Directors and were approved by the Company's common stockholders at a special meeting of stockholders held on May 27, 2022.
On July 7, 2022, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries completed the Grocery-Anchored Portfolio Sale and the East River Park and Senator Square redevelopment asset sales for total gross proceeds of approximately $879 million, including the assumed debt. There were no material relationships among the Company, the Grocery-Anchored Purchasers, or any of their respective affiliates. On August 22, 2022, the Company completed the Merger. Each outstanding share of common stock of the Company and outstanding common unit of the Operating Partnership held by persons other than the Company immediately prior to the Merger were canceled and converted into the right to receive a cash payment of $9.48 per share or unit. As a result of the Merger, WHLR acquired all of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock, which ceased to be publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). The Company's outstanding 7.25% Series B Preferred Stock and 6.50% Series C Preferred Stock remain outstanding and continue to trade on the NYSE. In addition, prior to consummation of the Merger, the Company's Board of Directors declared a special dividend on shares of the Company's outstanding common stock and OP Units of $19.52 per share, payable to holders of record of the Company's common stock and OP Units at the close of business on August 19, 2022.
In connection with the Transactions, the Company incurred transaction costs of $59.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, included in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations, of which $33.5 million relates to employee severance payments.

2023 Significant Circumstances and Transactions
Real Estate
On July 11, 2023, the Company sold an outparcel building adjacent to Carll's Corner, located in Bridgeton, New Jersey for $3.0 million, resulting in a $2.7 million gain, which is included in operating income in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Timpany Plaza Loan Agreement
On September 12, 2023, the Company entered into a term loan agreement with Cornerstone Bank for $11.56 million at a fixed rate of 7.27% with interest-only payments due monthly for the first twelve months (the "Timpany Plaza Loan Agreement"). Commencing on September 12, 2024, until the maturity date of September 12, 2028, monthly principal and interest payments will be made based on a 30-year amortization schedule calculated based on the principal amount as of that time. On the closing date, the Company received $9.06 million of the $11.56 million, and the remaining $2.5 million will be received upon the satisfaction of certain lease-related contingencies within one year of the agreement date. The Timpany Plaza Loan Agreement is collateralized by the Timpany Plaza shopping center.
Related Party Transactions
With the completion of the Company's merger with WHLR, the Company became a subsidiary of WHLR. WHLR performs property management and leasing services for the Company pursuant to the Wheeler Real Estate Company Management Agreement. The management fee is 4% of gross operating income, and leasing commissions range from 3% to 6%. During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company paid WHLR $2.1 million and $1.0 million, respectively, for these services. The Operating Partnership and WHLR's operating partnership, Wheeler REIT, L.P., are party to a cost sharing and reimbursement agreement, pursuant to which the parties agreed to share costs and expenses associated with certain employees, certain facilities and property, and certain arrangements with third parties (the "Cost Sharing Agreement"). The related party amounts due to WHLR at December 31, 2023 and 2022 are comprised of:

Summary of Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to revenue recognition and the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, real estate investments and purchase accounting allocations related thereto, asset impairment, and derivatives used to hedge interest-rate risks. Management's estimates are based both on information that is currently available and on various other assumptions management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates and those estimates could be different under varying assumptions or conditions.
The Company has identified the following critical accounting policies, the application of which requires significant judgments and estimates:
Revenue Recognition
Rental income with scheduled rent increases is recognized using the straight-line method over the respective terms of the leases. The aggregate excess of rental revenue recognized on a straight-line basis over base rents under applicable lease provisions is included
13

in straight-line rents receivable on the consolidated balance sheet. Leases also generally contain provisions under which the tenants reimburse the Company for a portion of property operating expenses and real estate taxes incurred; such income is recognized in the periods earned. In addition, certain operating leases contain contingent rent provisions under which tenants are required to pay a percentage of their sales in excess of a specified amount as additional rent. The Company defers recognition of contingent rental income until those specified targets are met.
The Company must make estimates as to the collectability of its accounts receivable related to base rent, straight-line rent, expense reimbursements and other revenues. Management analyzes accounts receivable by considering tenant creditworthiness, current economic conditions, and changes in tenants' payment patterns when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable. These estimates have a direct impact on net income, because a higher bad debt allowance would result in lower net income, whereas a lower bad debt allowance would result in higher net income.
Real Estate Investments
Real estate investments are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. The provision for depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives. Expenditures for maintenance, repairs and betterments that do not materially prolong the normal useful life of an asset are charged to operations as incurred. Expenditures for betterments that substantially extend the useful lives of real estate assets are capitalized.
Real estate investments include costs of development and redevelopment activities, and construction in progress. Capitalized costs, including interest and other carrying costs during the construction and/or renovation periods, are included in the cost of the related asset and charged to operations through depreciation over the asset's estimated useful life. The Company is required to make subjective estimates as to the useful lives of its real estate assets for purposes of determining the amount of depreciation to reflect on an annual basis. These assessments have a direct impact on net income. A shorter estimate of the useful life of an asset would have the effect of increasing depreciation expense and lowering net income, whereas a longer estimate of the useful life of an asset would have the effect of reducing depreciation expense and increasing net income.
A variety of costs are incurred in the acquisition, development and leasing of a property, such as pre-construction costs essential to the development of the property, development costs, construction costs, interest costs, real estate taxes, salaries and related costs, and other costs incurred during the period of development. After a determination is made to capitalize a cost, it is allocated to the specific component of a project that is benefited. The Company ceases capitalization on the portions substantially completed and occupied, or held available for occupancy, and capitalizes only those costs associated with the portions under construction. The Company considers a construction project as substantially completed and held available for occupancy upon the completion of tenant improvements, but not later than one year from cessation of major development activity. Determination of when a development project is substantially complete and capitalization must cease involves a degree of judgment. The effect of a longer capitalization period would be to increase capitalized costs and would result in higher net income, whereas the effect of a shorter capitalization period would be to reduce capitalized costs and would result in lower net income.
The Company allocates the fair value of real estate acquired to land, buildings and improvements. In addition, the fair value of in-place leases is allocated to intangible lease assets and liabilities. The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property is determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, which value is then allocated to land, buildings and improvements based on management's determination of the fair values of such assets. In valuing an acquired property's intangibles, factors considered by management include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods, such as real estate taxes, insurance, other operating expenses, and estimates of lost rental revenue during the expected lease-up periods based on its evaluation of current market demand. Management also estimates costs to execute similar leases, including leasing commissions, tenant improvements, legal and other related costs.
The values of acquired above market and below market leases are recorded based on the present values (using discount rates which reflect the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the differences between the contractual amounts to be received and management's estimate of market lease rates, measured over the terms of the respective leases that management deemed appropriate at the time of the acquisitions. Such valuations include a consideration of the non-cancelable terms of the respective leases as well as any applicable renewal period(s). The fair values associated with below market rental renewal options are determined based on the Company's experience and the relevant facts and circumstances that existed at the time of the acquisitions. The values of above market leases are amortized to rental income over the terms of the respective non-cancelable lease periods. The portion of the values of below market leases associated with the original non-cancelable lease terms are amortized to rental income over the terms of the respective non-cancelable lease periods. The portion of the values of the leases associated with below market renewal options that are likely of exercise are amortized to rental income over the respective renewal periods. The value of other intangible assets (including leasing commissions, tenant improvements, etc.) is amortized to expense over the applicable terms of the respective leases. If a lease were to be terminated prior to its stated expiration or not renewed, all unamortized amounts relating to that lease would be recognized in operations at that time.
14

Management is required to make subjective assessments in connection with its valuation of real estate acquisitions. These assessments have a direct impact on net income because (1) above market and below market lease intangibles are amortized to rental income and (2) the value of other intangibles is amortized to expense. Accordingly, higher allocations to below market lease liability and other intangibles would result in higher rental income and amortization expense, whereas lower allocations to below market lease liability and other intangibles would result in lower rental income and amortization expense.
Management reviews each real estate investment for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a real estate investment may not be recoverable. The review of recoverability is based on an estimate of the future cash flows that are expected to result from the real estate investment's use and eventual disposition. These estimates of cash flows consider factors such as expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of leasing demand, competition and other factors. If an impairment event exists due to the projected inability to recover the carrying value of a real estate investment, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying value exceeds estimated fair value. A real estate investment held for sale is carried at the lower of its carrying amount or estimated fair value, less the cost of a potential sale. Depreciation and amortization are suspended during the period the property is held for sale. Management is required to make subjective assessments as to whether there are impairments in the value of its real estate properties. These assessments have a direct impact on net income, because an impairment loss is recognized in the period that the assessment is made.

15

Corporate general and administrative costs were lower primarily as a result of (1) a decrease of $4.5 million in payroll related costs, (2) a decrease of $2.4 million in other general and administrative costs, (3) a decrease of $0.4 million in accounting fees, all of which are predominantly related to the completion of the Grocery-Anchored Portfolio Sale and the Merger, partially offset by (4) an increase of $0.4 million in professional fees.
Depreciation and amortization expenses were higher as a result of an increase of $1.3 million attributable to same center properties.
Gain on sale in 2023 relates to the sale of the outparcel building adjacent to Carll's Corner, located in Bridgeton, New Jersey.
Impairment charges in 2022 relate to Riverview Plaza, located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, which was sold that same year, and the Company's then-investment in the unconsolidated joint venture and the then-note receivable associated with Senator Square located in Washington D.C., both of which assets were sold in the Grocery-Anchored Portfolio Sale.
Transaction costs in 2022 relate to costs incurred related to the Grocery-Anchored Portfolio Sale and the Merger.
Interest expense, net was lower as a result of (1) a decrease in amortization expense of deferred financing costs of $5.7 million, (2) a decrease in the overall weighted average principal balance which resulted in a decrease in interest expense of $4.6 million, partially offset by (3) the interest rate swaps termination gain in 2022 of $3.4 million, (4) an increase in the overall weighted average interest rate, which resulted in an increase in interest expense of $3.0 million, and (5) capitalized interest in 2022 of $1.0 million.
Discontinued operations for 2022 include the results of operations, impairments and gain on sales for properties treated as discontinued operations.
Same-Property Net Operating Income
Same-property net operating income ("same-property NOI") is a widely-used non-GAAP financial measure for REITs that the Company believes, when considered with financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, is useful to investors. The Company defines same-property NOI as property revenues (rental and other revenues) less property and related expenses (property operation and maintenance and real estate taxes). Because same-property NOI excludes general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest income, provision for income taxes, gain or loss on sale or capital expenditures and leasing costs and impairment charges, it provides a performance measure, that when compared year over year, reflects the revenues and expenses directly associated with owning and operating commercial real estate properties and the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income. The Company uses same-property NOI to evaluate its operating performance since same-property NOI allows the Company to evaluate the impact of factors, such as occupancy levels, lease structure, lease rates and tenant base, have on the Company's results, margins and returns. Properties are included in same-property NOI if they are owned and operated for the entirety of both periods being compared, except for properties undergoing significant redevelopment and expansion until such properties have stabilized, and properties classified as held for sale. Consistent with the capital treatment of such costs under GAAP, tenant improvements, leasing commissions and other direct leasing costs are excluded from same-property NOI.
The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is consolidated operating income. Same-property NOI should not be considered as an alternative to consolidated operating income prepared in accordance with GAAP or as a measure of liquidity. Further, same-property NOI is a measure for which there is no standard industry definition and, as such, it is not consistently defined or reported on among the Company's peers, and thus may not provide an adequate basis for comparison among REITs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company funds operating expenses and other liquidity requirements, including debt service and loan maturities, tenant improvements, and leasing commissions, primarily from its operations and the $9.4 million in restricted cash as of December 31, 2023. The Company does not have any scheduled debt maturities for the year ending December 31, 2024. The Company is working to increase revenue by improving occupancy, which includes backfilling vacant anchor spaces and replacing defaulted tenants. Tenant improvements and leasing commissions for these efforts will be partially funded by restricted cash, strategic disposition of assets and financing of properties.
On October 28, 2022, the Company entered into a term loan agreement with Guggenheim Real Estate, LLC for $110.0 million at a fixed rate of 5.25% with interest-only payments due monthly (the "Term Loan Agreement, 10 properties"). Wheeler REIT, L.P. provided a limited recourse indemnity in connection with such loan. Commencing on December 10, 2027, until the maturity date of November 10, 2032, monthly principal and interest payments will be made based on a 30-year amortization schedule calculated based on the principal amount as of that time. The Term Loan Agreement, 10 properties is collateralized by 10 properties and proceeds were used to paydown the Company's loan agreement with KeyBank National Association for $130.0 million (the "KeyBank Credit Agreement").
On December 21, 2022, the Company entered into a term loan agreement with Citi Real Estate Funding Inc. for $25.0 million at a fixed rate of 6.35% with interest-only payments due monthly through maturity on January 6, 2033 (the "Patuxent Crossing/Coliseum
18

Marketplace Loan Agreement"). The Patuxent Crossing/Coliseum Marketplace Loan Agreement is collateralized by 2 properties and proceeds were used to satisfy the remaining obligation of the KeyBank Credit Agreement and released the remaining collateral under that agreement.
On September 12, 2023, the Company entered into a term loan agreement with Cornerstone Bank for $11.56 million at a fixed rate of 7.27% with interest-only payments due monthly for the first twelve months (the "Timpany Plaza Loan Agreement"). Commencing on September 12, 2024, until the maturity date of September 12, 2028, monthly principal and interest payments will be made based on a 30-year amortization schedule calculated based on the principal amount as of that time. On the closing date, the Company received $9.06 million of the $11.56 million, and the remaining $2.5 million will be received upon the satisfaction of certain lease-related contingencies within one year of the agreement date. The Timpany Plaza Loan Agreement is collateralized by the Timpany Plaza shopping center.

Term loans payable may require the Company to deposit certain replacement and other reserves with its lenders. Such "restricted cash" is generally available only for property-level requirements for which the reserves have been established and are not available to fund other property-level or Company-level obligations.
In order to continue qualifying as a REIT, the Company is required to distribute at least 90% of its "REIT taxable income", as defined in the Code. The Company paid common stock dividends during 2022 and preferred stock dividends during 2022 and 2023, and has continued to declare preferred stock dividends through the first quarter of 2024. Future dividend declarations will continue to be at the discretion of the Board of Directors, and will depend on the cash flow and financial condition of the Company, capital requirements, annual distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the Code, and such other factors as the Board of Directors may deem relevant. The Company intends to continue to operate its business in a manner that will allow it to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax requirements.

Investing activities$(3,697,000)$676,775,000 
Financing activities$(2,106,000)$(646,117,000)
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities, before net changes in operating assets and liabilities, was $8.7 million for 2023. Net cash used in operating activities, before net changes in operating assets and liabilities, was $(28.9) million for 2022. The increase was a result of the reduction in costs associated with the completion of both the Grocery-Anchored Portfolio Sale and Merger.
Investing Activities
Net cash flows (used in) provided by investing activities were primarily the result of the Company's property disposition activities and expenditures for property improvements. During 2023, the Company incurred $6.5 million of expenditures for property improvements, which was partially offset by $2.8 million in net proceeds related to the sale of the outparcel building adjacent to Carll's Corner, located in Bridgeton, New Jersey. During 2022, the Company received $667.4 million in proceeds from the Grocery-Anchored Portfolio Sale and $31.9 million in proceeds from the sale of Riverview Plaza, which was partially offset by $22.4 million of expenditures for property improvements.
Financing Activities
During 2023, the Company made payments of $10.8 million of preferred stock dividends, payments of $0.4 million of debt financing costs, which were partially offset by $9.1 million received from a new term loan. During 2022, the Company made $408.1 million of preferred and common stock distributions, a $300.0 million term loan payoff, $130.7 million of mortgage repayments, net payments of $66.0 million under the revolving credit facility, payments of $7.4 million of debt financing costs, $1.4 million of distributions to limited partners, and the purchase of a minority interest in a joint venture for $1.0 million, which were partially offset by $265.0 million in new term loans and a $3.4 million benefit as a result of interest rate swap terminations.
Funds From Operations
We use funds from operations ("FFO"), a non-GAAP measure, as an alternative measure of our operating performance, specifically as it relates to results of operations and liquidity. We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by the Board of Governors of Nareit in its March 1995 White Paper (as amended in November 1999, April 2002 and December 2018). As defined by Nareit, FFO represents net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of loan origination costs), plus impairment of real estate related long-lived assets and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Most industry analysts and equity REITs, including us, consider FFO to be an appropriate supplemental measure of operating performance because, by excluding gains or losses on dispositions and excluding depreciation, FFO is a helpful tool that can assist in the comparison of the operating performance of a company’s real estate between periods, or as compared to different companies. Management uses FFO as a supplemental measure to conduct and evaluate our business because there are certain limitations associated with using GAAP net income alone 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, while historically real estate values have risen or fallen with market conditions. Accordingly, we believe FFO provides a valuable alternative measurement tool to GAAP when presenting our operating results.
We believe the computation of FFO in accordance with Nareit's definition includes certain items that are not indicative of the results provided by our operating portfolio and affect the comparability of our period-over-period performance. These items include, but are not limited to, legal settlements, non-cash share-based compensation expense, non-cash amortization on loans and acquisition costs. Therefore, in addition to FFO, management uses Adjusted FFO ("AFFO"), which we define to exclude such items. Management believes that these adjustments are appropriate in determining AFFO as they are not indicative of the operating performance of our assets. In addition, we believe that AFFO is a useful supplemental measure for the investing community to use in comparing us to other REITs as many REITs provide some form of adjusted or modified FFO. However, there can be no assurance that AFFO presented by us is comparable to the adjusted or modified FFO of other REITs.

Inflation, Deflation and Economic Condition Considerations
The U.S. is experiencing elevated levels of inflation, which could continue or worsen. Substantially all of the Company's tenant leases contain provisions designed to partially mitigate the negative impact of inflation in the near term. Such lease provisions include clauses that require tenants to reimburse the Company for inflation-sensitive costs such as real estate taxes, insurance and many of the operating expenses it incurs. In addition, many of our leases are for terms of less than ten years, which permits us to seek increased rents upon re-rental at market rates. However, significant inflation rate increases over a prolonged period of time may have a material adverse impact on the Company's business. Conversely, deflation could lead to downward pressure on rents and other sources of income.
Interest rate increases could result in higher incremental borrowing costs for the Company and our tenants. The duration of the Company's indebtedness and our relatively low exposure to floating rate debt have mitigated the direct impact of inflation and interest rate increases. The degree and pace of these changes have had and may continue to have impacts on our business.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Cedar Realty Trust, Inc.
Virginia Beach, Virginia
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Cedar Realty Trust, Inc. (the "Company") as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related notes and schedules (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Evaluation of Real Estate for Impairment
Description of Matter
At December 31, 2023, the Company's net real estate totaled $201.7 million. As more fully described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company evaluates its real estate investments for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a real estate investment may not be recoverable. Management evaluates various qualitative factors in determining whether events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a real estate investment may not be recoverable.
Auditing the Company's impairment assessment involved subjectivity due to the estimation required to assess significant assumptions utilized in the recoverability of the real estate based on undiscounted operating income and residual values, such as assumptions related to renewal and renegotiations of current leases, estimates of new leases on vacant spaces, and estimates of operating costs.
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit
To test the Company's evaluation of net real estate for impairment, we performed audit procedures that included, among others, assessing the methodologies applied, evaluating the significant assumptions discussed above and testing the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used in the analysis. We compared the recoverability calculated to the remaining net book value of the assets to ensure recoverability for the properties' remaining useful lives. We compared the significant assumptions used by
23

management to relevant market information and other applicable sources. As part of our evaluation, we performed sensitivity analyses of significant assumptions to evaluate the changes in the undiscounted cash flows of the related property that would result from changes in the assumptions.

Cedar Realty Trust, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2023

Note 1. Business and Organization
The Company is a REIT that focuses on owning and operating income producing retail properties with a primary focus on grocery-anchored shopping centers primarily in the Northeast. At December 31, 2023, the Company owned a portfolio of 19 properties. Seven of these properties are located in Pennsylvania, four in Massachusetts, three in Connecticut, three in New Jersey, one in Maryland and one in Virginia.
The Company, organized as a Maryland corporation, has established an umbrella partnership structure through the contribution of substantially all of its assets to the Operating Partnership, organized as a limited partnership under the laws of Delaware. The Operating Partnership is the entity through which the Company conducts substantially all of its business and owns (either directly or through subsidiaries) substantially all of its assets. At December 31, 2023, the Company, which is a subsidiary of WHLR, owned a 100.0% interest in, and was the sole general partner of, the Operating Partnership.
As used herein, the "Company" refers to Cedar Realty Trust, Inc. and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, including the Operating Partnership or, where the context so requires, Cedar Realty Trust, Inc. only.
Asset Sale and Merger
On March 2, 2022, the Company entered into definitive agreements for the sale of the Company and its assets in a series of related all-cash transactions. Specifically, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into the Asset Purchase Agreement with the Grocery-Anchored Purchasers for the sale of a portfolio of 33 grocery-anchored shopping centers for cash. In addition, the Company entered into the Merger Agreement with WHLR and certain of its affiliates pursuant to which, following closing of the Grocery-Anchored Portfolio Sale, WHLR acquired the balance of the Company's shopping center assets by way of an all-cash merger transaction. The Transactions were unanimously approved by the Company's former Board of Directors and were approved by the Company's common stockholders at a special meeting of stockholders held on May 27, 2022.
On July 7, 2022, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries completed the Grocery-Anchored Portfolio Sale and the East River Park and Senator Square redevelopment asset sales for total gross proceeds of approximately $879 million, including the assumed debt. There were no material relationships among the Company, the Grocery-Anchored Purchasers, or any of their respective affiliates. On August 22, 2022, the Company completed the Merger. Each outstanding share of common stock of the Company and outstanding common unit of the Operating Partnership held by persons other than the Company immediately prior to the Merger were canceled and converted into the right to receive a cash payment of $9.48 per share or unit. As a result of the Merger, WHLR acquired all of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock, which ceased to be publicly traded on the NYSE. The Company's outstanding 7.25% Series B Preferred Stock and 6.50% Series C Preferred Stock remain outstanding and continue to trade on the NYSE. In addition, prior to consummation of the Merger, the Company's Board of Directors declared a special dividend on shares of the Company's outstanding common stock and OP Units of $19.52 per share, payable to holders of record of the Company's common stock and OP Units at the close of business on August 19, 2022.
In connection with the Transactions, the Company incurred transaction costs of $59.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, included in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations, of which $33.5 million relates to employee severance payments.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation/Basis of Preparation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Company, the Operating Partnership, its subsidiaries, and certain joint venture partnerships in which it participates. The Company consolidates all variable interest entities ("VIEs") for which it is the primary beneficiary. Generally, a VIE is an entity with one or more of the following characteristics: (1) the total equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, (2) as a group, the holders of the equity investment at risk (a) lack the power through voting or similar rights to make decisions about the entity's activities that significantly impact the entity's performance, (b) have no obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity, or (c) have no right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity, or (3) the equity investors have voting rights that are not proportional to their economic interests, and substantially all of the entity's activities either involve, or are conducted on behalf of, an investor that has disproportionately fewer voting rights. A VIE is required to be consolidated by its primary
31

Cedar Realty Trust, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2023
beneficiary. The primary beneficiary of a VIE has (1) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance, and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. Significant judgments related to these determinations include estimates about the current values, performance of real estate held by these VIEs, and general market conditions.
Limited partnerships and other similar entities are considered variable interest entities unless the limited partners hold substantive kick-out rights or participating rights. Crossroads II, 60%-owned joint venture was consolidated as it was deemed to be a VIE and the Company was the primary beneficiary. The Company (1) guaranteed all related debt, (2) did not require its partners to fund additional capital requirements, (3) had an economic interest greater than its voting proportion and (4) directed the management activities that significantly impacted the performance of the joint venture. See Note 3, Real Estate, for additional details.
The accompanying financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis in accordance with GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods covered by the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Real estate investments are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. The provision for depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method based upon the estimated useful lives of the respective assets of between 3 and 40 years, with buildings being depreciated at the upper end of the range. Depreciation expense, net of discontinued operations, amounted to $10.0 million and $8.5 million for 2023 and 2022, respectively. Expenditures for betterments that substantially extend the useful lives of the assets are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance, repairs, and betterments that do not substantially prolong the normal useful life of an asset are charged to operations as incurred.
Real estate investments include costs of development and redevelopment activities, and construction in progress. Capitalized costs, including interest and other carrying costs during the construction and/or renovation periods, are included in the cost of the related asset and charged to operations through depreciation over the asset's estimated useful life. A variety of costs are incurred in the development and leasing of a property, such as pre-construction costs essential to the development of the property, development costs, construction costs, interest costs, real estate taxes, salaries and related costs, and other costs incurred during the period of development. After a determination is made to capitalize a cost, it is allocated to the specific component of a project that is benefited. The Company ceases capitalization on the portions substantially completed and occupied, or held available for occupancy, and capitalizes only those costs associated with the portions under development. The Company considers a construction project to be substantially completed and held available for occupancy upon the completion of tenant improvements, but not later than one year from cessation of major construction activity.
The Company allocates the fair value of real estate acquired to land, buildings and improvements. In addition, the fair value of in-place leases is allocated to intangible lease assets and liabilities. The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property is determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, which value is then allocated to land, buildings and improvements based on management's determination of the fair values of these assets. In valuing an acquired property's intangibles, factors considered by management include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods, such as real estate taxes, insurance, other operating expenses, and estimates of lost rental revenue during the expected lease-up periods based on its evaluation of current market demand. Management also estimates costs to execute similar leases, including leasing commissions, tenant improvements, legal and other related costs.
The values of acquired above market and below market leases are recorded based on the present values (using discount rates which reflect the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the differences between the contractual amounts to be received and management's estimate of market lease rates, measured over the terms of the respective leases that management deemed appropriate at the time of the acquisitions. Such valuations include consideration of the non-cancelable terms of the respective leases as well as any applicable renewal periods. The fair values associated with below market rental renewal options are determined based on the Company's experience and the relevant facts and circumstances that existed at the time of the acquisitions. The values of above market leases are amortized to rental income over the terms of the respective non-cancelable lease periods. The portion of the values of below market leases associated with the original non-cancelable lease terms are amortized to rental income over the terms of the respective non-cancelable lease periods. The portion of the values of the leases associated with below market renewal options that are likely of exercise are amortized to rental income over the respective renewal periods. The value of other intangible assets (including leasing commissions, tenant improvements, etc.) is amortized to expense over the applicable terms of the respective leases. If a lease were to

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

be terminated prior to its stated expiration or not renewed, all unamortized amounts relating to that lease would be recognized in operations at that time.
Management reviews each real estate investment for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a real estate investment may not be recoverable. The review of recoverability of real estate investments held for use is based on an estimate of the future cash flows that are expected to result from the real estate investment's use and eventual disposition. These cash flows consider factors such as expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of leasing demand, capital expenditures, competition and other factors. If an impairment event exists due to the projected inability to recover the carrying value of a real estate investment, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying value exceeds estimated fair value.
Properties Held for Sale
The Company may decide to sell properties that are held for use. The Company records these properties as held for sale when management has committed to a plan to sell the assets, actively seeks a buyer for the assets, and the consummation of the sale is considered probable and is expected within one year.
The carrying values of the assets and liabilities of properties determined to be held for sale, principally the net book values of the real estate and the related mortgage loans payable expected to be assumed by the buyers, are reclassified as "held for sale" on the Company's consolidated balance sheets at the time such determinations are made, on a prospective basis only.
The Company, when applicable, conducts a continuing review of the values for all properties "held for sale" based on estimated sales prices and sales contracts entered into. Impairment charges/reversals, if applicable, are based on a comparison of the carrying values of the properties with either (1) actual sales prices less costs to sell for properties sold, or contract amounts less costs to sell for properties in the process of being sold, (2) estimated sales prices, less costs to sell, based on discounted cash flow analyses, if no contract amounts are being negotiated (see Note 4, Fair Value Measurements), or (3) with respect to land parcels, estimated sales prices, less costs to sell, based on comparable sales completed in the selected market areas. Prior to the Company's determination to dispose of properties, which are subsequently reclassified to "held for sale", the Company performs recoverability analyses based on the estimated undiscounted cash flows that are expected to result from the real estate investments' use and eventual disposal. The projected undiscounted cash flows of each property reflects that the carrying value of each real estate investment would be recovered. Properties meeting the "held for sale" criteria, are written down to the lower of their carrying value and estimated fair values less costs to sell.
The Company follows the guidance for reporting discontinued operations, whereby a disposal of an individual property or group of properties is required to be reported in "discontinued operations" only if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has, or will have, a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results. The results of operations for those properties not meeting such criteria are reported in "continuing operations" in the consolidated statements of operations.
Cash and Cash Equivalents / Restricted Cash
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in banks and short-term investments with original maturities when purchased of less than ninety days.
The terms of the secured term loans may require the Company to deposit certain replacement and other reserves with its lenders. Such "restricted cash" is generally available only for property-level requirements for which the reserves have been established. Restricted cash represents amounts held by lenders for real estate taxes, insurance, reserves for capital improvements, leasing costs and tenant security deposits.
Fair Value Measurements
The accounting guidance for fair value measurement establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three levels:
Level 1 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
33

Cedar Realty Trust, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2023
Level 2 – Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
Level 3 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible while also considering counterparty credit risk in the assessment of fair value.
Revenue Recognition and Receivables
The Company's underlying assets relating to rental revenue activity is solely retail space. The Company retains substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of these underlying assets and accounts for these leases as operating leases. The Company combines lease and nonlease components in lease contracts, which includes combining base rent and tenant reimbursement revenue.
Rental income with scheduled rent increases is recognized using the straight-line method over the respective non-cancelable terms of the leases. The aggregate excess of rental revenue recognized on a straight-line basis over the contractual base rents is included in receivables on the consolidated balance sheet. Leases also generally contain provisions under which the tenants reimburse the Company for a portion of property operating expenses and real estate taxes incurred, generally attributable to their respective allocable portions of gross leasable area. Such income is recognized in the periods earned. In addition, a limited number of operating leases contain contingent rent provisions under which tenants are required to pay, as additional rent, a percentage of their sales in excess of a specified amount.
The Company's leases generally require the tenant to reimburse the Company for a substantial portion of its expenses incurred in operating, maintaining, repairing, insuring and managing the shopping center and common areas (collectively defined as Common Area Maintenance or "CAM" expenses). This significantly reduces the Company's exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation or other outside factors. These reimbursements are considered nonlease components which the Company combines with the lease component. The Company calculates the tenant's share of operating costs by multiplying the total amount of the operating costs by the tenant's pro-rata percentage of square footage to total square footage of the property. The Company also receives monthly payments for these reimbursements from substantially all its tenants throughout the year. The Company recognizes tenant reimbursements as variable lease income.
The Company defers recognition of contingent rental income until those specified sales targets are met. Revenues also include items such as lease termination fees, which tend to fluctuate more than rents from year to year. Termination fees are fees that the Company has agreed to accept in consideration for permitting certain tenants to terminate their lease prior to the contractual expiration. The Company recognizes lease termination fees, which are included in revenues on the consolidated statements of operations, in the year that the lease is terminated and collection of the fee is reasonably assured. Upon early lease termination, the Company records losses related to unrecovered intangibles and other assets.
The Company determines an allowance for the uncollectible portion of accrued rents and accounts receivable based upon customer credit-worthiness (including expected recovery of a claim with respect to any tenants in bankruptcy), historical bad debt levels, and current economic trends. All amounts that were historically recorded as bad debt expense, and previously included in operating expenses in the Company's consolidated statement of operations, are now recorded as a reduction of rental revenues.
Segment Information
The Company's primary business is the ownership and operation of grocery-anchored shopping centers. The Company reviews operating and financial information for each property on an individual basis and, accordingly, each property represents an individual operating segment. The Company evaluates financial performance using property operating income, which consists of rental income and other property income, less operating expenses and real estate taxes. The Company has no operations outside of the United States of America. Therefore, the Company has aggregated its properties into one reportable segment as the properties share similar long-term economic characteristics and have other similarities including the fact that they are operated using consistent business strategies, are typically located in similar markets, and have similar tenant mixes.

Lease Commitments
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases, in which the Company is the lessee, are included in deferred costs and other assets, net, and accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities on the Company's consolidated balance sheets.
Right-of-use ("ROU") assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and the lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The operating lease ROU assets include any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. The Company's lease terms may include options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company combines lease and associated nonlease components. The lease components are the majority of its leasing arrangements and the Company accounts for the combined component as an operating lease. In the event the Company modifies existing ground leases or enters into new ground leases, such leases may be classified as finance leases.
Transaction Costs
All costs associated with the Grocery-Anchored Portfolio Sale and the Merger, were expensed as incurred.
Income Taxes
The Company, organized in 1984, has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") under the Code. A REIT will generally not be subject to federal income taxation on that portion of its income that qualifies as REIT taxable income, to the extent that it distributes at least 90% of such REIT taxable income to its stockholders and complies with certain other requirements. As of December 31, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all REIT requirements.
The Company follows a two-step approach for evaluating uncertain federal, state and local tax positions. Recognition (step one) occurs when an enterprise concludes that a tax position, based solely on its technical merits, is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination. Measurement (step two) determines the amount of benefit that more-likely-than-not will be realized upon settlement. Derecognition of a tax position that was previously recognized would occur when a company subsequently determines that a tax position no longer meets the more-likely-than-not threshold of being sustained. The Company has not identified any uncertain tax positions which would require an accrual.
Derivative Financial Instruments
Prior to the Merger, the Company occasionally utilized derivative financial instruments, principally interest rate swaps, to manage its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. The Company had established policies and procedures for risk assessment, and the approval, reporting and monitoring of derivative financial instruments. Derivative financial instruments had to be effective in reducing the Company's interest rate risk exposure in order to qualify for hedge accounting. When the terms of an underlying transaction were modified, or when the underlying hedged item ceased to exist, all changes in the fair value of the instrument were marked-to-market with changes in value included in net income for each period until the derivative financial instrument matured or was settled. Any derivative financial instrument used for risk management that did not meet the hedging criteria was marked-to-market with the changes in value included in net income.
Share-Based Compensation
During 2017, the Company's shareholders approved the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2017 Plan"), which replaced the Company's 2012 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2012 Plan"). As of the effective date of the 2017 Plan, the Company may not grant any further awards under the 2012 Plan. The 2017 Plan establishes the procedures for the granting of, among other things, restricted stock awards. On May 1, 2019, the Company's shareholders approved an amendment to the 2017 Plan, which increased the maximum number of shares of the Company's common stock that may be issued pursuant to the 2017 Plan by 303,000 shares, to a new total of 909,000 shares (see Note 14, Share-Based Compensation), and the maximum number of shares that may be granted to a participant in any calendar year may not exceed 76,000. All grants issued pursuant to the 2017 Plan generally vest (1) at the end of designated time

periods for time-based grants, or (2) upon the completion of a designated period of performance for performance-based grants and satisfaction of performance criteria. Time–based grants are valued according to the market price for the Company's common stock at the date of grant. For performance-based grants, the Company generally engages an independent appraisal company to determine the value of the shares at the date of grant, taking into account the underlying contingency risks associated with the performance criteria. The value of all grants are being expensed on a straight-line basis over their respective vesting periods (irrespective of achievement of the market performance-based grants) adjusted, as applicable, for forfeitures. For restricted share grants subject to graded vesting, the amounts expensed are at least equal to the measured expense of each vested tranche. Based on the terms of the 2017 Plan, those grants of restricted shares that are contributed to the Rabbi Trusts are classified as treasury stock on the Company's consolidated balance sheet. The 2017 Plan was terminated in connection with the Merger.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued guidance which requires disclosure of incremental segment information on both an annual and interim basis. The guidance will require that the Company continue to disclose existing segment information required by FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 280, as well as significant segment expenses and other segment items that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"). The Company will also be required to disclose the title and position of the CODM and how the CODM uses reported measures of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. The guidance will be effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning on January 1, 2024 and interim periods within the Company's fiscal year beginning on January 1, 2025. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the guidance, but does not believe it will have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Other accounting standards that have been recently issued or proposed by the FASB or other standard-setting bodies are not currently applicable to the Company or are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Note 3. Real Estate
Investment in unconsolidated joint venture

Note 4. Fair Value Measurements
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, rents and other receivables, certain other assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities, and variable-rate debt approximate their fair value due to their terms and/or short-term nature. The fair value of the Company's investments and liabilities related to deferred compensation were determined to be Level 1 within the valuation hierarchy, and were based on independent values provided by financial institutions.
The fair value of the Company's fixed rate secured term loans were estimated using available market information and discounted cash flow analyses based on borrowing rates the Company believes it could obtain with similar terms and maturities. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the fair value of the Company's fixed rate secured term loans, which were determined to be Level 3 within the valuation hierarchy, was $131.4 million and $131.8 million, respectively, and the carrying value of such loans, was $140.5 million and $131.5 million, respectively.
Nonfinancial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the consolidated financial statements consist of real estate held for sale, which, if applicable, are measured on a nonrecurring basis, and have been determined to be (1) Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy, where applicable, based on the respective contracts of sale, adjusted for closing costs and expenses, or (2) Level 3 within the valuation hierarchy, where applicable, based on estimated sales prices, adjusted for closing costs and expenses, determined by

discounted cash flow analyses, income capitalization analyses or a sales comparison approach if no contracts had been concluded. The discounted cash flow and income capitalization analyses include all estimated cash inflows and outflows over a specific holding period and, where applicable, any estimated debt premiums. These cash flows were composed of unobservable inputs which included forecasted rental revenues and expenses based upon existing in-place leases, market conditions and expectations for growth. Capitalization rates and discount rates utilized in these analyses were based upon observable rates that the Company believed to be within a reasonable range of current market rates for the respective properties. The sales comparison approach is utilized for certain land values and includes comparable sales that were completed in the selected market areas. The comparable sales utilized in these analyses were based upon observable per acre rates that the Company believes to be within a reasonable range of current market rates for the respective properties.
As a result of the Grocery-Anchored Portfolio Sale, the Company has no interest rate swap and deferred compensation assets or liabilities as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.
For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded impairments of $9.4 million related to Riverview Plaza, located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, which was sold that same year, and the Company's then-investment in the unconsolidated joint venture and the then-note receivable associated with Senator Square located in Washington D.C., both of which assets were sold in the Grocery-Anchored Portfolio Sale. These charges are included in impairment charges in the consolidated statement of operations. The fair value of the assets was determined to be Level 2. Such assets have an aggregate fair value of $0.0 million as of December 31, 2022.
Note 5. Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents in excess of insured amounts and tenant receivables. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with high quality financial institutions. Management performs ongoing credit evaluations of its tenants and requires certain tenants to provide security deposits and/or suitable guarantees.
Excluding properties included in discontinued operations, there were no tenants that accounted for an aggregate of more than 10% of the Company's total revenues during 2023 and 2022.
For the year ended December 31, 2023, one property constitutes approximately 14.6% of the Company's revenues and five properties constitute approximately 90.4% of the Company's property operating income in the aggregate.
The Company's properties are located largely in the Northeast, which exposes it to greater economic risks than if the properties it owned were located in a greater number of geographic regions (in particular, 7 of the Company's properties are located in Pennsylvania).

Insurance
The Company carries comprehensive liability, property, fire, flood, wind, extended coverage, business interruption and rental loss insurance covering all of the properties in its portfolio under an insurance policy, in addition to other coverages, such as trademark and pollution coverage that may be appropriate for certain of its properties. Additionally, the Company carries a directors', officers', entity and employment practices liability insurance policy that covers such claims made against the Company and its directors and officers. The Company believes the policy specifications and insured limits are appropriate and adequate for its properties given the relative risk of loss, the cost of the coverage and industry practice; however, its insurance coverage may not be sufficient to fully cover losses.
Regulatory and Environmental
As the owner of the buildings on our properties, the Company could face liability for the presence of hazardous materials (e.g., asbestos or lead) or other adverse conditions (e.g., poor indoor air quality) in its buildings. Environmental laws govern the presence, maintenance, and removal of hazardous materials in buildings, and if the Company does not comply with such laws, it could face fines for such noncompliance. Also, the Company could be liable to third parties (e.g., occupants of the buildings) for damages related to exposure to hazardous materials or adverse conditions in its buildings, and the Company could incur material expenses with respect to abatement or remediation of hazardous materials or other adverse conditions in its buildings. In addition, some of the Company's tenants routinely handle and use hazardous or regulated substances and wastes as part of their operations at our properties, which are subject to regulation. Such environmental and health and safety laws and regulations could subject the Company or its tenants to
43

Cedar Realty Trust, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2023
liability resulting from these activities. Environmental liabilities could affect a tenant's ability to make rental payments to the Company, and changes in laws could increase the potential liability for noncompliance. This may result in significant unanticipated expenditures or may otherwise materially and adversely affect the Company's operations. The Company is not aware of any material contingent liabilities, regulatory matters or environmental matters that may exist.
Litigation
The Company is involved in various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of its business, including, but not limited to commercial disputes. The Company believes that such litigation, claims and administrative proceedings will not have a material adverse impact on its financial position or its results of operations. The Company records a liability when it considers the loss probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. In addition, the below legal proceedings are in process:
As described in Note 1, on March 2, 2022, the Company entered into definitive agreements for the Transactions, which provided for the sale of the Company and its assets in a series of related all-cash transactions. On April 8, 2022, several purported holders of the Company's outstanding preferred stock filed a putative class action complaint against the Company, the Board of Directors prior to the Merger, and WHLR in Montgomery County Circuit Court, Maryland entitled Sydney, et al. v. Cedar Realty Trust, Inc., et al., (Case No. C-15-CV-22-001527).
On May 6, 2022, the Plaintiffs in Sydney filed a motion for a preliminary injunction. Also on May, 6, 2022, a purported holder of the Company's outstanding preferred stock filed a separate putative class action complaint against the Company and the Board of Directors prior to the Merger in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, entitled Kim v. Cedar Realty Trust, Inc., et al., Civil Action No. 22-cv-01103. On May 11, 2022, the Company, the former Board of Directors of the Company and WHLR removed the Sydney action to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, Case No. 8:22-cv-01142-GLR. On May 16, 2022, the court ordered that a hearing on the Sydney Plaintiffs' motion for preliminary injunction be held on June 22, 2022. On June 2, 2022, the Plaintiffs in Kim also filed a motion for a preliminary injunction. The court consolidated the motions for preliminary injunction.
On June 23, 2022, following a hearing, the court issued an order denying both motions for preliminary injunction, holding that the Plaintiffs in both cases were unlikely to succeed on the merits and that Plaintiffs had not established that they would suffer irreparable harm if the injunction was denied.
By order dated July 11, 2022, the court consolidated the Sydney and Kim cases and set an August 24, 2022 deadline for the Plaintiffs in both cases to file a consolidated amended complaint. Plaintiffs filed their amended complaint on August 24, 2022. The amended complaint alleges on behalf of a putative class of holders of the Company's preferred stock, among other things, claims for breach of contract against the Company and the former Board of Directors with respect to the articles supplementary governing the terms of the Company's preferred stock, breach of fiduciary duty against the former Board of Directors, and tortious interference and aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty against WHLR. On October 7, 2022, Defendants moved to dismiss the amended complaint. Plaintiffs opposed the motion to dismiss and filed a motion to certify a question of law to Maryland's Supreme Court. On August 1, 2023, the court issued a decision and order granting Defendants' motions to dismiss, without leave to amend, and denying Plaintiffs' motion to certify a question of law to the Maryland Supreme Court. The Plaintiffs appealed the dismissal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, Case No. 23-1905, docketed on August 30, 2023. The appeal has been fully briefed. At this juncture, the outcome of the litigation remains uncertain.
On July 11, 2022, a purported holder of the Company's outstanding preferred stock filed a complaint against the Company and the Board of Directors prior to the Merger in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, entitled High Income Securities Fund v. Cedar Realty Trust, Inc., et al., No. 2:22-cv-4031. The complaint alleged that the Defendants violated Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and SEC Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder by making false and misleading statements and omissions, and that the former Board of Directors are control persons under Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. On September 25, 2023, the Court granted Defendants' motion to dismiss the complaint with prejudice, and the time within which the Plaintiff could have appealed such decision has passed.
On October 14, 2022, a purported holder of the Company's outstanding preferred stock filed a putative class action against the Company, the Board of Directors prior to the Merger, and WHLR in Nassau County Supreme Court, New York entitled Krasner v. Cedar Realty Trust, Inc., et al., (Case No. 613985/2022). The complaint alleges on behalf of a putative class of holders of the Company's preferred stock, among other things, claims for breach of contract against the Company and the former Board of Directors with respect to the articles supplementary governing the terms of the Company's preferred stock, breach of fiduciary duty against the

former Board of Directors, and tortious interference and aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty against WHLR. The complaint seeks, among other relief, an award of monetary damages, attorneys' fees, and expert fees. The Defendants filed motions in the Nassau County action to dismiss or stay the case based both on the pendency of the lawsuit in Maryland in which the same claims were asserted by other preferred stockholders and on the merits. The court held a hearing on the motions on October 27, 2023, and on December 4, 2023 granted the motions to dismiss based on the pendency of the lawsuit in Maryland without addressing the merits.

In the event that collectability with respect to any tenant changes, the Company recognizes an adjustment to rental income. The Company's review of collectability of charges under its operating leases includes any accrued rental revenues related to the straight-line method of reporting rental revenue.
Annual future base rents due to be received under non-cancelable operating leases in effect at December 31, 2023 are approximately as follows:

The following tables set forth certain share-based compensation information for 2023 and 2022, respectively:

Expense relating to share/unit grants $ $1,662,000 
Amounts capitalized (54,000)
Total charged to operations $ $1,608,000 
At December 31, 2023 and 2022, there were no shares available for grants pursuant to the Company's 2017 Stock Incentive Plan since this plan was terminated in connection with the Merger.
During 2022, there were 7,000 time-based restricted shares issued with a weighted average grant date fair value of $26.31 per share.
The total fair value of shares vested during 2022 was $11.9 million.
Former President and CEO Employment Contract
On June 15, 2018, the Company's then-President and CEO was granted a market performance-based equity award of 227,272 restricted stock units ("RSUs") and 227,272 dividend equivalent rights ("DERs") of the Company. Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of common stock if certain market performance criteria are achieved. Each DER accrues and will be deemed to be reinvested into the Company's common stock for which payment will only be made for the portion of the market performance-based equity award that are earned and vest. During the three years ending June 15, 2021 (the "Interim Performance Period"), a maximum of 113,636 shares were earned. Any portion of the market performance-based equity award that was not earned as of the end of the Interim Performance Period was to be carried forward for calculation for the five years ending June 15, 2023 (the "Full Performance Period"). The percentage of the market performance-based equity award to be earned was to be determined based on the Company's annual return on an investment in the Company's common stock ("TSR") over the Interim Performance Period and/or over the Full Performance Period as follows: if average annual TSR (1) is below 4%, the percentage of grant earned would be 0%, (2) equals 4%, the percentage of grant earned would be 33.3%, (3) equals 6.5%, the percentage of grant earned would be 66.7%, and (4) equals 10% or above, the percentage of grant earned would be 100%. Linear interpolation was to be applied to determine the percentage of the market performance-based equity award that is earned where the average annual TSR over the performance period falls between the percentages set forth above. Based on market performance for the Interim Performance Period, it was determined the Company's then-President and CEO earned 113,636 shares. Accordingly, on July 20, 2021, the Company issued 113,636 common shares to the then-President and CEO and paid him $0.3 million for the related DERs.
On August 22, 2022, due to a change in control of the Company in connection with the Transactions, the RSUs fully vested. On August 26, 2022, the Company's then-President and CEO received an aggregate cash payment of $3.3 million, representing the aggregate per share merger consideration and per share special dividend amount attributable to the vested RSUs, along with $0.5 million for the related DERs.
Note 15. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to the Company's common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period including participating securities (restricted shares that have non-forfeitable rights to receive dividends issued pursuant to the Company's share-based compensation program are considered participating securities). Unvested restricted shares that are participating securities are not allocated net losses and/or any excess of dividends declared over net income, as such amounts are allocated entirely to the common shareholders. For 2023 and 2022, the
47

Cedar Realty Trust, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2023
Company had 0.0 million and 0.2 million, respectively, of weighted average unvested restricted shares outstanding. The following table provides a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the EPS calculations for 2023 and 2022, respectively:
 Years ended December 31,

Discontinued operations 9.12 
 $(0.64)$2.48 
Fully-diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into shares of common stock. For 2023, there were no market performance-based equity awards issued or outstanding. For 2022, no RSUs would have been issuable under the Company's then-President and CEO's market performance-based equity award (see Note 14, Share-Based Compensation) had the measurement period ended on December 31, 2022, and therefore, this market performance-based equity award had no impact in calculating diluted EPS for this period. Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests of the Operating Partnership has been excluded from the numerator and the related OP Units have been excluded from the denominator for the purpose of calculating diluted EPS as there would have been no dilutive effect had such amounts been included. The weighted average number of OP Units outstanding was 0 and 44,000 for 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Note 16. Related Party Transactions
With the completion of the Company's merger with WHLR, the Company became a subsidiary of WHLR. WHLR performs property management and leasing services for the Company pursuant to the Wheeler Real Estate Company Management Agreement.

During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company paid WHLR $2.1 million and $1.0 million, respectively, for these services. The Operating Partnership and WHLR's operating partnership, Wheeler REIT, L.P., are party to the Cost Sharing Agreement. The related party amounts due to WHLR at December 31, 2023 and 2022 are comprised of:

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure: None
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed in our filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, including ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on such evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, as of December 31, 2023, such disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in our filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting, as defined in rules promulgated under the Exchange Act, is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our CEO and CFO and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and our Board of Directors; and
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.
Our internal control over financial reporting is evaluated on a regular basis by personnel in our organization. The overall goals of these various evaluation activities are to monitor our internal control over financial reporting and to make modifications as necessary, as disclosure and internal controls are intended to be dynamic systems that change (including improvements and corrections) as conditions warrant.     
Management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, utilizing the framework established in "INTERNAL CONTROL-INTEGRATED FRAMEWORK" issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013). Based on this assessment, management has determined that our internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023 were effective.
All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
This Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal controls over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm in accordance with SEC rules.

Determinations of Director Independence
The Board of Directors currently consists of five members. The Chair of the Board of Directors is Kerry G. Campbell. The Board of Directors reviews the independence of each director yearly. During this review, the Board of Directors considers whether there are any transactions and relationships between any director (and his or her immediate family and affiliates) and the Company and its management that are inconsistent with a determination that the director is independent in light of applicable law and listing standards. The Company believes that under the applicable rules and regulations of the New York Stock Exchange, Mr. Campbell, Ms. Poskon, and Ms. Borrack are independent. Mr. Franklin and Ms. Plum are not independent because they are officers of the Company.

Exhibit 4.1
Description of the Registrant’s Securities
Registered Pursuant to Section 12
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
The following description of the terms of our securities is only a summary. For a complete description, we refer you to our articles of incorporation and amended and restated by-laws, which are filed as exhibits to this Annual Report on Form 10-K, and to the applicable provisions of the Maryland General Corporation Law (the “MGCL”). As used in this exhibit, and except where the context otherwise requires, “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Cedar Realty Trust, Inc.
Securities Registered Under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
We have two classes of stock registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (including the rules and regulations thereunder, the “Exchange Act”): (1) our 7-1/4% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, $25.00 Liquidation Value (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) and (2) our 6-1/2% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, $25.00 Liquidation Value (the “Series C Preferred Stock”, and together with the Series B Preferred Stock, the “Preferred Stock”).
Description of the Series B Preferred Stock
Ranking
The Series B Preferred Stock, with respect to distribution rights and rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, ranks:
(i) senior to our authorized common stock, which consists of 150 million shares of common stock with a par value of $.06 per share (the “Common Stock”), and all other classes or series of our equity securities we may issue in the future the terms of which specifically provide that such equity securities will rank junior to the Series B Preferred Stock;
(ii) on a parity with the Series C Preferred Stock and all other classes or series of our equity securities we may issue the terms of which specifically provide that such equity securities rank on a parity with the Series B Preferred Stock; and
(iii) junior to all classes or series of equity securities we may issue the terms of which specifically provide that such equity securities rank senior to the Series B Preferred Stock.
The term “equity securities” does not include any convertible debt securities we may issue in the future.
Distributions
Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, when and as authorized by our board of directors, out of funds legally available for the payment of distributions, cumulative cash distributions at the rate of 7.25% of the liquidation preference per annum. Distributions on the Series B Preferred Stock accrue and are cumulative from (but excluding) the date of original issue and are payable quarterly in arrears on the 20th day of each February, May, August and November or, if not a business day, the next business day. Distributions payable on the Series B Preferred Stock for any partial period are computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. We pay distributions to holders of record as they appear in our stock transfer books at the close of business on the applicable record date designated by our board of directors for the payment of distributions that is not more than 60 nor less than 10 days prior to the distribution payment date.
We do not authorize or pay any distributions on the Series B Preferred Stock or set aside funds for the payment of distributions if restricted or prohibited by law, or if the terms of any of our agreements, including agreements relating to our indebtedness or our other series of preferred stock, prohibit that authorization, payment or setting aside of funds or provide that the authorization, payment or setting aside of funds is a breach of or a default under that agreement. We are, and may in the future become, a party to agreements which restrict or prevent the payment of distributions on, or the purchase or redemption of, shares. These restrictions may include indirect covenants which require us to maintain specified levels of net worth or assets.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, distributions on the Series B Preferred Stock accrue whether or not we have earnings, whether or not there are funds legally available for the payment of distributions and whether or not distributions are authorized. Accrued but unpaid distributions on the Series B Preferred Stock do not bear interest, and holders of the Series B Preferred Stock are not entitled to any distributions in excess of full cumulative distributions as described above. All of our distributions on the Series B Preferred Stock, including any capital gain distributions, are credited first to the earliest accrued and unpaid distribution due.




We do not declare or pay any distributions (other than distributions in kind on our Common Stock or shares of any other class or series of our preferred stock that rank junior to the Series B Preferred Stock as to distributions), or set aside any funds for the payment of distributions, on shares of our Common Stock or shares of any other class or series of our preferred stock that rank on a parity with or junior to the Series B Preferred Stock as to distributions, including the Series C Preferred Stock, or redeem or otherwise acquire shares of our Common Stock or shares of any other class or series of our preferred stock that rank on a parity with or junior to the Series B Preferred Stock, including the Series C Preferred Stock, as to distributions (except by conversion into or exchange for our Common Stock or other shares ranking junior to the Series B Preferred Stock), unless we also have declared and either paid or set aside for payment full cumulative distributions on the Series B Preferred Stock for all past distribution periods (other than pro rata distributions as described below). This restriction does not limit our redemption or other acquisition of shares for the purposes of enforcing restrictions upon ownership and transfer of our equity securities contained in our charter (as may be amended or supplemented) or for the purpose of preserving our status as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.
If distributions are not paid in full (or a sum sufficient for such full payment is not so set apart) upon the Series B Preferred Stock and any other class or series of our preferred stock ranking on a parity with the Series B Preferred Stock as to distributions, including the Series C Preferred Stock, all distributions declared upon the Series B Preferred Stock and such other class or series of preferred stock will be authorized pro rata so that the amount of distributions authorized per share of Series B Preferred Stock and per share of such other class or series of preferred stock (which will not include any accumulation in respect of unpaid distributions for prior distribution periods if such other class or series of preferred stock does not have a cumulative distribution) bear to each other. No interest, or sum of money in lieu of interest, will be payable in respect of any distribution payment or payments on the Series B Preferred Stock which may be in arrears.
Optional Redemption
At our option upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days written notice, we may redeem the Series B Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus all accrued and unpaid distributions to, but not including, the date fixed for redemption.
We will mail to record holders of the Series B Preferred Stock a notice of redemption no fewer than 30 days nor more than 60 days before the redemption date. We will send the notice to the address shown on our stock transfer books. A failure to give notice of redemption or any defect in the notice or in its mailing will not affect the validity of the redemption of any share of Series B Preferred Stock except as to the holder to whom notice was defective. Each notice will state the following:
  
 
the redemption date;
  
 
the redemption price, including, without limitation, a statement as to whether or not accumulated but unpaid distributions will be payable as part of the redemption price, or payable on the next distribution payment date, to the record holder at the close of business on the relevant record date;
  
 
the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed;
  
 
the place where the certificates (if any) for the Series B Preferred Stock are to be surrendered for payment; and
  
 
that distributions on the shares to be redeemed will cease to accrue on the redemption date.
If we redeem fewer than all of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by any holder, the notice of redemption mailed to each stockholder will also specify the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock that we will redeem from each stockholder. In this case, we will determine the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed on a pro rata basis. Any redemption may be made conditional on such factors as may be determined by our board of directors and as set forth in the redemption notice. Unless full cumulative distributions on all shares of Series B Preferred Stock have been or contemporaneously are declared and either paid or set aside for payment for all past distribution periods, we generally may not redeem any Series B Preferred Stock unless we redeem all of the Series B Preferred Stock.
If we have given a notice of redemption and have set aside sufficient funds for the redemption in trust for the benefit of the holders of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock called for redemption, then, from and after the redemption date, those shares of Series B Preferred Stock will be treated as no longer outstanding, no further




distributions will accrue and all other rights of the holders of those shares of Series B Preferred Stock will terminate. The holders of those shares of Series B Preferred Stock will retain their right to receive the redemption price for their shares and any accrued and unpaid distributions to, but not including, the redemption date.
The holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock at the close of business on a distribution record date will be entitled to receive the distribution payable with respect to the Series B Preferred Stock on the corresponding payment date notwithstanding the redemption of the Series B Preferred Stock between such record date and the corresponding payment date or our default in the payment of the distribution due. Except as provided above, we will make no payment or allowance for unpaid distributions, whether or not in arrears, on Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed.
The Series B Preferred Stock has no stated maturity and is not subject to any sinking fund or mandatory redemption provisions, except as provided under “— Restrictions on Ownership and Transfer” below.
Subject to applicable law, we may purchase Series B Preferred Stock in the open market, by tender or by private agreement. Any Series B Preferred Stock that we reacquire will be returned to the status of authorized but unissued preferred stock, without designation as to series until such shares are once more designated as part of a particular series by our board of directors.
Special Optional Redemption
Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined below), we may, at our option, redeem the Series B Preferred Stock in whole or in part within 120 days after the first date on which such Change of Control occurred, by paying $25.00 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid distributions to, but not including, the date of redemption. If, prior to the Change of Control Conversion Date (as defined in “— Conversion Rights” below), we have provided or provide notice of redemption with respect to the Series B Preferred Stock (whether pursuant to our optional redemption right or our special optional redemption right), the holders of Series B Preferred Stock will not have the conversion right described below under “— Conversion Rights”.
We will mail to record holders of the Series B Preferred Stock a notice of redemption no fewer than 30 days nor more than 60 days before the redemption date. We will send the notice to the address shown on our stock transfer books. A failure to give notice of redemption or any defect in the notice or in its mailing will not affect the validity of the redemption of any share of Series B Preferred Stock except as to the holder to whom notice was defective. Each notice will state the following:
  
 
the redemption date;
 
 
the redemption price, including, without limitation, a statement as to whether or not accumulated but unpaid distributions will be payable as part of the redemption price, or payable on the next distribution payment date, to the record holder at the close of business on the relevant record date;
  
 
the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed;
  
 
the place where the certificates (if any) for the Series B Preferred Stock are to be surrendered for payment;
  
 
that the Series B Preferred Stock is being redeemed pursuant to our special optional redemption right in connection with the occurrence of a Change of Control and a brief description of the transaction or transactions constituting such Change of Control;
  
 
that the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock to which the notice relates will not be able to tender such Series B Preferred Stock for conversion in connection with the Change of Control and each share of Series B Preferred stock tendered for conversion that is selected, prior to the Change of Control Conversion Date, for redemption will be redeemed on the related date of redemption instead of converted on the Change of Control Conversion Date; and
  
 
that distributions on the Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed will cease to accrue on the redemption date.




If we redeem fewer than all of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by any holder, the notice of redemption mailed to each stockholder will also specify the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock that we will redeem from each stockholder. In this case, we will determine the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed on a pro rata basis. Any such redemption may be made conditional on such factors as may be determined by the board of directors and as set forth in the notice.
Unless full cumulative distributions on all shares of Series B Preferred Stock have been or contemporaneously are declared and either paid or set apart for payment for all past distribution periods, no shares of Series B Preferred Stock will be redeemed unless all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock are simultaneously redeemed. In addition, unless full cumulative distributions on all shares of Series B Preferred Stock have been or contemporaneously are declared and either paid or set apart for payment for all past distribution periods, we will not purchase or otherwise acquire directly or indirectly any shares of Series B Preferred Stock, any shares of our Common Stock or shares of any other class or series ranking junior to or on parity with the Series B Preferred Stock as to distributions or upon liquidation (except by conversion into or exchange for shares of our equity securities ranking junior to the Series B Preferred Stock as to distributions and upon liquidation). These restrictions on redemptions, purchases and other acquisitions shall not prevent our redemption, purchase or acquisition of preferred stock of any series in order to ensure that we remain qualified as a REIT for United States federal income tax purposes, or the purchase or acquisition of Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to all holders of the Series B Preferred Stock.
If we have given a notice of redemption and have set aside sufficient funds for the redemption in trust for the benefit of the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock called for redemption, then from and after the redemption date, those shares of Series B Preferred Stock will be treated as no longer being outstanding, no further distributions will accrue and all other rights of the holders of those shares of Series B Preferred Stock will terminate. The holders of those shares of Series B Preferred Stock will retain their right to receive the redemption price for their shares and any accrued and unpaid distributions through, but not including, the redemption date.
The holders of Series B Preferred Stock at the close of business on a distribution record date will be entitled to receive the distribution payable with respect to the Series B Preferred Stock on the corresponding payment date notwithstanding the redemption of the Series B Preferred Stock between such record date and the corresponding payment date or our default in the payment of the distribution due. Except as provided above, we will make no payment or allowance for unpaid distributions, whether or not in arrears, on Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed.
For purposes of the special optional redemption and the Change of Control conversion rights described below, a “Change of Control” is when, after the original issuance of Series B Preferred Stock, the following has occurred and is continuing:
  
 
the acquisition by any person, including any syndicate or group deemed to be a “person” under Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) of beneficial ownership, directly or indirectly, through a purchase, merger or other acquisition transaction or series of purchases, mergers or other acquisition transactions of shares of our capital stock entitling that person to exercise more than 50% of the total voting power of our capital stock entitled to vote generally in elections of directors (except that such person will be deemed to have beneficial ownership of all securities that such person has the right to acquire, whether such right is currently exercisable or is exercisable only upon the occurrence of a subsequent condition), and (y) following the closing of any transaction referred to in clause (x), neither we nor the acquiring or surviving entity has a class of common securities (or ADRs, representing such securities) listed on the NYSE, the NYSE Amex or NASDAQ, or listed or quoted on an exchange or quotation system that is a successor to the NYSE, the NYSE Amex or NASDAQ; or
  
 
a change of control occurs pursuant to the provisions of any shareholder rights plan that may be adopted by the Company.
Conversion Rights
The Series B Preferred Stock is not convertible into or exchangeable for any property or other securities unless upon the occurrence of a Change of Control as described below.




Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each holder of Series B Preferred Stock will have the right, unless, prior to the Change of Control Conversion Date, we have provided or provide notice of our election to redeem the Series B Preferred Stock as described under “— Optional Redemption” or “— Special Optional Redemption”, to convert some or all of the Series B Preferred Stock held by such holder (the “Change of Control Conversion Right”) on the Change of Control Conversion Date into a number of shares of our Common Stock per share of Series B Preferred Stock (the “Common Stock Conversion Consideration”) equal to the lesser of:
  
 
the quotient obtained by dividing
(i) the sum of the $25.00 liquidation preference plus the amount of any accrued and unpaid distributions to, but not including, the Change of Control Conversion Date (unless the Change of Control Conversion Date is after a record date for the Series B Preferred Stock distribution payment and prior to the corresponding Series B Preferred Stock distribution payment date, in which case no additional amount for such accrued and unpaid distribution will be included in this sum), by
(ii) the Common Stock Price; and
 
 
10.2041 (the “Stock Cap”), subject to the adjustments described below.
The Stock Cap is subject to pro rata adjustments for any stock splits (including those effected pursuant to a distribution of our Common Stock), subdivisions or combinations (in each case, a “Stock Split”) with respect to our Common Stock as follows: the adjusted Stock Cap as the result of a Stock Split will be the number of shares of our Common Stock that is equivalent to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the Stock Cap in effect immediately prior to such Stock Split by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding after giving effect to such Stock Split and the denominator of which is the number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such Stock Split.
For the avoidance of doubt, subject to the immediately succeeding sentence, the aggregate number of shares of our Common Stock (or equivalent Alternative Conversion Consideration (as defined below), as applicable) issuable in connection with the exercise of the Change of Control Conversion Right (or equivalent Alternative Conversion Consideration, as applicable), will not exceed 4,081,640 in total (or equivalent Alternative Conversion Consideration, as applicable) (the “Exchange Cap”). The Exchange Cap is subject to pro rata adjustments for any Stock Splits on the same basis as the corresponding adjustment to the Stock Cap.
In the case of a Change of Control pursuant to which shares of our Common Stock will be converted into cash, securities or other property or assets (including any combination thereof) (the “Alternative Form Consideration”), a holder of Series B Preferred Stock will receive upon conversion of such Series B Preferred Stock the kind and amount of Alternative Form Consideration which such holder would have owned or been entitled to receive upon the Change of Control had such holder held a number of shares of our Common Stock equal to the Common Stock Conversion Consideration immediately prior to the effective time of the Change of Control (the “Alternative Conversion Consideration”, and the Common Stock Conversion Consideration or the Alternative Conversion Consideration, as may be applicable to a Change of Control, is referred to as the “Conversion Consideration”).
If the holders of our Common Stock have the opportunity to elect the form of consideration to be received in the Change of Control, the consideration that the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock will receive will be the form and proportion of the aggregate consideration elected by the holders of our Common Stock who participate in the determination (based on the weighted average of elections) and will be subject to any limitations to which all holders of our Common Stock are subject, including, without limitation, pro rata reductions applicable to any portion of the consideration payable in the Change of Control.
We will not issue fractional shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock. Instead, we will pay the cash value of such fractional shares.
Within 15 days following the occurrence of a Change of Control, we will provide to holders of Series B Preferred Stock a notice of occurrence of the Change of Control that describes the resulting Change of Control Conversion Right. This notice will state the following:




  
 
the events constituting the Change of Control;
  
 
the date of the Change of Control;
  
 
the last date on which the holders of Series B Preferred Stock may exercise their Change of Control Conversion Right;
  
 
the method and period for calculating the Common Stock Price;
  
 
the Change of Control Conversion Date;
 
 
that if, prior to the Change of Control Conversion Date, we have provided or provide notice of our election to redeem all or any portion of the Series B Preferred Stock, holders will not be able to convert Series B Preferred Stock and such shares will be redeemed on the related redemption date, even if such shares have already been tendered for conversion pursuant to the Change of Control Conversion Right;
  
 
if applicable, the type and amount of Alternative Conversion Consideration entitled to be received per share of Series B Preferred Stock;
  
 
the name and address of the paying agent and the conversion agent; and
  
 
the procedures that the holders of Series B Preferred Stock must follow to exercise the Change of Control Conversion Right.
We will issue a press release and post a notice on our website, in any event prior to the opening of business on the first business day following any date on which we provide the notice described above to the holders of Series B Preferred Stock.
To exercise the Change of Control Conversion Right, the holder of Series B Preferred Stock will be required to deliver, on or before the close of business on the Change of Control Conversion Date, the certificates (if any) evidencing Series B Preferred Stock to be converted, duly endorsed for transfer, together with a written conversion notice completed, to our transfer agent. The conversion notice must state:
  
 
the relevant Change of Control Conversion Date;
  
 
the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be converted; and
  
 
that the Series B Preferred Stock is to be converted pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Series B Preferred Stock.
The “Change of Control Conversion Date” is the date the Series B Preferred Stock is to be converted, which will be a business day that is no fewer than 20 days nor more than 35 days after the date on which we provide the notice described above to the holders of Series B Preferred Stock.
The “Common Stock Price” will be: (i) the amount of cash consideration per share of Common Stock, if the consideration to be received in the Change of Control by the holders of our Common Stock is solely cash, or (ii) the average of the closing prices per share for our Common Stock on the NYSE for the ten consecutive trading days immediately preceding, but not including, the effective date of the Change of Control, if the consideration to be received in the Change of Control by the holders of our Common Stock is other than solely cash.
Holders of Series B Preferred Stock may withdraw any notice of exercise of a Change of Control Conversion Right (in whole or in part) by a written notice of withdrawal delivered to our transfer agent prior to the close of business on the business day prior to the Change of Control Conversion Date. The notice of withdrawal must state:




  
 
the number of withdrawn shares of Series B Preferred Stock;
  
 
if certificated Series B Preferred Stock have been issued, the certificate numbers of the withdrawn shares of Series B Preferred Stock; and
  
 
the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock, if any, which remain subject to the conversion notice.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Series B Preferred Stock is held in global form, the conversion notice and/or the notice of withdrawal, as applicable, must comply with applicable procedures of DTC.
Series B Preferred Stock as to which the Change of Control Conversion Right has been properly exercised and for which the conversion notice has not been properly withdrawn will be converted into the applicable Conversion Consideration in accordance with the Change of Control Conversion Right on the Change of Control Conversion Date, unless prior to the Change of Control Conversion Date we have provided or provide notice of our election to redeem such Series B Preferred Stock, whether pursuant to our optional redemption right or our special optional redemption right. If we elect to redeem Series B Preferred Stock that would otherwise be converted into the applicable Conversion Consideration on a Change of Control Conversion Date, such Series B Preferred Stock will not be so converted and the holders of such shares will be entitled to receive on the applicable redemption date $25.00 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid distributions thereon to, but not including, the redemption date, in accordance with our optional redemption right or special optional redemption right. See “— Optional Redemption” and “— Special Optional Redemption” above.
We will deliver amounts owing upon conversion no later than the third business day following the Change of Control Conversion Date.
We will comply with all federal and state securities laws and stock exchange rules in connection with any conversion of Series B Preferred Stock into shares of our Common Stock. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Series B Preferred Stock, no holder of Series B Preferred Stock will be entitled to convert such Series B Preferred Stock into shares of our Common Stock to the extent that receipt of such Common Stock would cause such holder (or any other person) to exceed the share ownership limits contained in our charter (as may be amended and supplemented) setting forth the terms of the Series B Preferred Stock, unless we provide an exemption from this limitation for such holder. See “— Restrictions on Ownership and Transfer” below.
Except as provided above in connection with a Change of Control, the Series B Preferred Stock is not convertible into or exchangeable for any other securities or property.
Liquidation Rights
Upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs, the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to be paid out of our assets that are legally available for distribution to our stockholders (after payment or provision for payment of all of our debts and other liabilities) the sum of (a) the liquidation preference of $25.00 per share and (b) an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid distributions (whether or not declared) to the date of payment, before any distribution of assets is made to holders of our Common Stock or shares of any class or series of our preferred stock that we may issue that ranks junior to the Series B Preferred Stock as to liquidation rights.
In the event that, upon any such voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up, our available assets are insufficient to pay the amount of the liquidating distributions on all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock and the corresponding amounts payable on all shares of other classes or series of our capital stock ranking on a parity with the Series B Preferred Stock as to liquidation rights, including the Series C Preferred Stock, then the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock and all other such classes or series of capital stock shall share ratably in any such distribution of assets in proportion to the full liquidating distributions to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled.
Holders of Series B Preferred Stock will be entitled to written notice of any such liquidation. After payment of the full amount of the liquidating distributions to which they are entitled, the holders of Series B Preferred Stock will have no right or claim to any of our remaining assets. The consolidation or merger of us with or into any other corporation, trust or entity or of any other corporation with or into us, a statutory share exchange by us or the sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all of our assets or business shall not be deemed to constitute a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of us.
Voting Rights
Holders of Series B Preferred Stock have no voting rights, except as follows:




  
 
If distributions on our Series B Preferred Stock are due for six or more quarterly periods and remain unpaid, whether or not these quarterly periods are consecutive, holders of the Series B Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class with the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock and any other class or series of preferred stock which have similar voting rights that are exercisable, will be entitled to vote for the election of two additional directors (if not already elected by the holders of such other classes or series of parity voting preferred stock) to serve on our board of directors until all distribution arrearages have been paid.
  
 
If the listing of the Series B Preferred Stock on the NYSE or another national securities exchange or market is not maintained for 180 consecutive days, until such listing default is cured, the holders of Series B Preferred Stock, voting together with the holders of any other class or series of preferred stock which have similar voting rights that are exercisable, will be entitled to elect up to two additional directors (if not already elected by reason of similar types of voting rights of the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock) to serve on our board of directors.
  
 
In addition, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding Series B Preferred Stock (voting as a separate class) is required for us to authorize, create or increase the authorized or issued amount of any class or series of our equity securities ranking senior to the outstanding Series B Preferred Stock as to distributions and amounts upon liquidation or to amend our charter (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise), in a manner that materially and adversely affects the rights of the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock, unless the Series B Preferred Stock remains outstanding with its terms materially unchanged or, if the Corporation is not the surviving entity, the Series B Preferred Stock is exchanged for a security of the surviving entity with terms that are materially the same as the Series B Preferred Stock.
In any matter in which the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to vote, each share of Series B Preferred Stock is entitled to one vote. If the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock and another series of preferred stock are entitled to vote together as a single class on any matter, the Series B Preferred Stock and the shares of the other class or series will have one vote for each $25.00 of liquidation preference. The two additional directors described above shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the holders of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock when they have the voting rights set forth above (voting together as a single class with the holders of any class or series of preferred stock which have similar voting rights that are exercisable) in such election to serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified or until such directors’ right to hold the office terminates, whichever occurs earlier.

During any period in which we are not subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act and any shares of Series B Preferred Stock are outstanding, we will (i) transmit by mail or other permissible means under the Exchange Act to all holders of Series B Preferred Stock as their names and addresses appear in our record books and without cost to such holders, copies of the annual reports on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q that we would have been required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act if we were subject thereto (other than any exhibits that would have been required) and (ii) within 15 days following written request, supply copies of such reports to any prospective holder of the Series B Preferred Stock. We will mail (or otherwise provide) the reports to the holders of Series B Preferred Stock within 15 days after the respective dates by which we would have been required to file such reports with the SEC if we were subject to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
Restrictions on Ownership and Transfer
Our charter provides that no person or entity may beneficially own, or be deemed to own by virtue of the applicable constructive ownership provisions of the Code, more than 9.9% of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock. The articles supplementary designating the terms of the Series B Preferred Stock provide that the 9.9% ownership limitation applies to ownership of our Series B Preferred Stock as a separate class.
Any person who acquires or attempts to acquire beneficial or constructive ownership of Series B Preferred Stock that will or may violate the ownership limitation is required to give written notice immediately to us and provide us with such other information as we may request in order to determine the effect of such transfer on our REIT status.
If our Board of Directors or a committee thereof determines that a transfer or proposed transfer of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock violates or may violate the ownership limitation or certain other provisions of our charter prohibiting transfers that may have the effect of causing us to lose our REIT status, our Board of Directors or committee thereof is empowered to take any action it deems advisable to refuse to give effect to or to prevent such transfer, including (i) electing to purchase any shares owned by a person or group of affiliated persons in excess of the ownership limitations or (ii) refusing to transfer or issue shares to a person if an acquisition of shares by such person or group would result in such person or group exceeding these ownership limits or jeopardizing our status as a REIT. Any transfer of shares that would result in a person or group exceeding ownership limits or in our disqualification as a REIT is deemed void as of the date of such transfer. Our Board of Directors has the right to waive ownership limitations and excess share provisions of our charter and the articles supplementary designating the terms of the Series B Preferred Stock.

Description of the Series C Preferred Stock
Ranking
The Series C Preferred Stock, with respect to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, ranks:
(i) senior to our Common Stock and all other classes or series of our equity securities we may issue in the future, the terms of which specifically provide that such equity securities will rank junior to the Series C Preferred Stock;
(ii) on a parity with the Series B Preferred Stock and all other classes or series of our equity securities we may issue, the terms of which specifically provide that such equity securities rank on a parity with the Series C Preferred Stock; and
(iii) junior to all classes or series of equity securities we may issue the terms of which specifically provide that such equity securities rank senior to the Series C Preferred Stock.
The term “equity securities” does not include any convertible debt securities we may issue in the future.
Dividends




Holders of the Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, when and as authorized by our board of directors, out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends, cumulative cash dividends at the rate of 6.50% of the liquidation preference per annum (equivalent to $1.625 per annum per share). Dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock accrue and are cumulative from, and including, the dividend payment date immediately preceding the date of issuance of the Series C Preferred Stock and are payable quarterly in arrears on the 20th day of each February, May, August and November or, if not a business day, the next business day. Dividends payable on the Series C Preferred Stock for any partial period are computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. We pay dividends to holders of record as they appear in our stock transfer books at the close of business on the applicable record date designated by our board of directors for the payment of dividends that is not more than 60 nor less than 10 days prior to the dividend payment date.
We do not authorize or pay any dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock or set aside funds for the payment of dividends if restricted or prohibited by law, or if the terms of any of our agreements, including agreements relating to our indebtedness or our other series of preferred stock, prohibit that authorization, payment or setting aside of funds or provide that the authorization, payment or setting aside of funds is a breach of or a default under that agreement. We are, and may in the future become, a party to agreements which restrict or prevent the payment of dividends on, or the purchase or redemption of, shares. These restrictions may include indirect covenants which require us to maintain specified levels of net worth or assets.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock accrue whether or not we have earnings, whether or not there are funds legally available for the payment of dividends and whether or not dividends are authorized. Accrued but unpaid dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock do not bear interest, and holders of the Series C Preferred Stock are not entitled to any dividends in excess of full cumulative dividends as described above. All of our dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock, including any capital gain dividends, are credited first to the earliest accrued and unpaid dividend due.
We do not declare or pay any dividends (other than dividends in kind on our Common Stock or shares of any other class or series of our preferred stock that rank junior to the Series C Preferred Stock as to dividends), or set aside any funds for the payment of dividends, on shares of our Common Stock or shares of any other class or series of our preferred stock that rank on a parity with or junior to the Series C Preferred Stock as to dividends, including the Series B Preferred Stock, or redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire shares of our Common Stock or shares of any other class or series of our preferred stock that rank on a parity with or junior to the Series C Preferred Stock, including the Series B Preferred Stock, as to dividends (except by conversion into or exchange for our Common Stock or other shares ranking junior to the Series C Preferred Stock), unless we also have declared and either paid or set aside for payment full cumulative dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock for all past dividend periods (other than pro rata dividends as described below). This restriction does not limit our redemption, purchase or other acquisition of shares for the purposes of enforcing restrictions upon ownership and transfer of our equity securities contained in our charter (including the articles supplementary designating the terms of the Series C Preferred Stock) or for the purpose of preserving our status as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
If dividends are not paid in full (or a sum sufficient for such full payment is not so set apart) upon the Series C Preferred Stock and any other class or series of our preferred stock ranking on a parity with the Series C Preferred Stock as to dividends, including the Series B Preferred Stock, all dividends declared upon the Series C Preferred Stock and such other class or series of preferred stock will be authorized pro rata so that the amount of dividends authorized per share of Series C Preferred Stock and per share of such other class or series of preferred stock (which will not include any accumulation in respect of unpaid dividends for prior dividend periods if such other class or series of preferred stock does not have a cumulative dividend) bear to each other. No interest, or sum of money in lieu of interest, will be payable in respect of any dividend payment or payments on the Series C Preferred Stock which may be in arrears.
Optional Redemption
At our option upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days written notice, we may redeem the Series C Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the date fixed for redemption.
We will mail to record holders of the Series C Preferred Stock a notice of redemption no fewer than 30 days nor more than 60 days before the redemption date. We will send the notice to the address shown on our stock transfer books. A failure to give notice of redemption or any defect in the notice or in its mailing will not affect the validity of the redemption of any share of Series C Preferred Stock except as to the holder to whom notice was defective. Each notice will state the following:




 
 
the redemption date;
  
 
the redemption price, including, without limitation, a statement as to whether or not accumulated but unpaid dividends will be payable as part of the redemption price, or payable on the next dividend payment date, to the record holder at the close of business on the relevant record date;
  
 
the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock to be redeemed;
  
 
the place where the certificates (if any) for the Series C Preferred Stock are to be surrendered for payment; and
  
 
that dividends on the shares to be redeemed will cease to accrue on the redemption date.
If we redeem fewer than all of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock held by any holder, the notice of redemption mailed to each stockholder will also specify the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock that we will redeem from each stockholder. In this case, we will determine the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock to be redeemed in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary Trust Company (“DTC”). Any redemption may be made conditional on such factors as may be determined by our board of directors and as set forth in the redemption notice. Unless full cumulative dividends on all shares of Series C Preferred Stock have been or contemporaneously are declared and either paid or set aside for payment for all past dividend periods, we generally may not redeem any Series C Preferred Stock unless we redeem all of the Series C Preferred Stock.
If we have given a notice of redemption and have set aside sufficient funds for the redemption in trust for the benefit of the holders of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock called for redemption, then, from and after the redemption date, those shares of Series C Preferred Stock will be treated as no longer outstanding, no further dividends will accrue and all other rights of the holders of those shares of Series C Preferred Stock will terminate. The holders of those shares of Series C Preferred Stock will retain their right to receive the redemption price for their shares and any accrued and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the redemption date.
The holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock at the close of business on a dividend record date will be entitled to receive the dividend payable with respect to the Series C Preferred Stock on the corresponding payment date notwithstanding the redemption of the Series C Preferred Stock between such record date and the corresponding payment date or our default in the payment of the dividend due. Except as provided above, we will make no payment or allowance for unpaid dividends, whether or not in arrears, on Series C Preferred Stock to be redeemed.
The Series C Preferred Stock has no stated maturity and is not subject to any sinking fund or mandatory redemption provisions, except as provided under “— Restrictions on Ownership and Transfer” below.
Subject to applicable law, we may purchase Series C Preferred Stock in the open market, by tender or by private agreement. Any Series C Preferred Stock that we reacquire will be returned to the status of authorized but unissued preferred stock, without designation as to series until such shares are once more designated as part of a particular series by our board of directors.
Special Optional Redemption
Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined below), we may, at our option, redeem the Series C Preferred Stock, in whole or in part within 120 days after the first date on which such Change of Control occurred, by paying $25.00 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the date of redemption. If, prior to the Change of Control Conversion Date (as defined in “— Conversion Rights” below), we have provided or provide notice of redemption with respect to the Series C Preferred Stock (whether pursuant to our optional redemption right or our special optional redemption right), the holders of Series C Preferred Stock will not have the conversion right described below under “— Conversion Rights”.
We will mail to record holders of the Series C Preferred Stock a notice of redemption no fewer than 30 days nor more than 60 days before the redemption date. We will send the notice to the address shown on our stock transfer books. A failure to give notice of redemption or any defect in the notice or in its mailing will not affect the validity of the redemption of any share of Series C Preferred Stock except as to the holder to whom notice was defective. Each notice will state the following:




  
 
the redemption date;
  
 
the redemption price, including, without limitation, a statement as to whether or not accumulated but unpaid dividends will be payable as part of the redemption price, or payable on the next dividend payment date, to the record holder at the close of business on the relevant record date;
  
 
the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock to be redeemed;
  
 
the place where the certificates (if any) for the Series C Preferred Stock are to be surrendered for payment;
  
 
that the Series C Preferred Stock is being redeemed pursuant to our special optional redemption right in connection with the occurrence of a Change of Control and a brief description of the transaction or transactions constituting such Change of Control;
  
 
that the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock to which the notice relates will not be able to tender such Series C Preferred Stock for conversion in connection with the Change of Control and each share of Series C Preferred stock tendered for conversion that is selected, prior to the Change of Control Conversion Date, for redemption will be redeemed on the related date of redemption instead of converted on the Change of Control Conversion Date; and
  
 
that dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock to be redeemed will cease to accrue on the redemption date.
If we redeem fewer than all of the outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock held by any holder, the notice of redemption mailed to each stockholder will also specify the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock that we will redeem from each stockholder. In this case, we will determine the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock to be redeemed in accordance with the procedures of DTC. Any such redemption may be made conditional on such factors as may be determined by the board of directors and as set forth in the notice.
Unless full cumulative dividends on all shares of Series C Preferred Stock have been or contemporaneously are declared and either paid or set apart for payment for all past dividend periods, no shares of Series C Preferred Stock will be redeemed unless all outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock are simultaneously redeemed. In addition, unless full cumulative dividends on all shares of Series C Preferred Stock have been or contemporaneously are declared and either paid or set apart for payment for all past dividend periods, we will not purchase or otherwise acquire directly or indirectly any shares of Series C Preferred Stock, any shares of our Common Stock or shares of any other class or series ranking junior to or on a parity with the Series C Preferred Stock as to dividends or upon liquidation (except by conversion into or exchange for shares of our equity securities ranking junior to the Series C Preferred Stock as to dividends and upon liquidation). These restrictions on redemptions, purchases and other acquisitions shall not prevent our redemption, purchase or acquisition of preferred stock of any series in order to ensure that we remain qualified as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or the purchase or acquisition of Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to all holders of the Series C Preferred Stock.
If we have given a notice of redemption and have set aside sufficient funds for the redemption in trust for the benefit of the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock called for redemption, then from and after the redemption date, those shares of Series C Preferred Stock will be treated as no longer being outstanding, no further dividends will accrue and all other rights of the holders of those shares of Series C Preferred Stock will terminate. The holders of those shares of Series C Preferred Stock will retain their right to receive the redemption price for their shares and any accrued and unpaid dividends through, but not including, the redemption date.
The holders of Series C Preferred Stock at the close of business on a dividend record date will be entitled to receive the dividend payable with respect to the Series C Preferred Stock on the corresponding payment date notwithstanding the redemption of the Series C Preferred Stock between such record date and the corresponding payment date or our default in the payment of the dividend due. Except as provided above, we will make no payment or allowance for unpaid dividends, whether or not in arrears, on Series C Preferred Stock to be redeemed.




For purposes of the special optional redemption and the Change of Control Conversion Rights described below, a “Change of Control” is when, after the date of original issuance of Series C Preferred Stock, the following has occurred and is continuing:
  
 
the acquisition by any person, including any syndicate or group deemed to be a “person” under Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act of beneficial ownership, directly or indirectly, through a purchase, merger or other acquisition transaction or series of purchases, mergers or other acquisition transactions of shares of our capital stock entitling that person to exercise more than 50% of the total voting power of our capital stock entitled to vote generally in elections of directors (except that such person will be deemed to have beneficial ownership of all securities that such person has the right to acquire, whether such right is currently exercisable or is exercisable only upon the occurrence of a subsequent condition), and (y) following the closing of any transaction referred to in clause (x), neither we nor the acquiring or surviving entity has a class of common securities (or ADRs representing such securities) listed on the NYSE, the NYSE American or NASDAQ, or listed or quoted on an exchange or quotation system that is a successor to the NYSE, the NYSE American or NASDAQ; or
  
 
a change of control occurs pursuant to the provisions of any shareholder rights plan that may be adopted by the Company.
Conversion Rights
The Series C Preferred Stock is not convertible into or exchangeable for any property or other securities unless upon the occurrence of a Change of Control as described below.
Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each holder of Series C Preferred Stock will have the right, unless, prior to the Change of Control Conversion Date, we have provided or provide notice of our election to redeem the Series C Preferred Stock as described under “— Optional Redemption” or “— Special Optional Redemption”, to convert some or all of the Series C Preferred Stock held by such holder (the “Change of Control Conversion Right”), on the Change of Control Conversion Date into a number of shares of our Common Stock per share of Series C Preferred Stock (the “Common Stock Conversion Consideration”), equal to the lesser of:
  
 
the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the sum of the $25.00 liquidation preference plus the amount of any accrued and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the Change of Control Conversion Date (unless the Change of Control Conversion Date is after a record date for the Series C Preferred Stock dividend payment and prior to the corresponding Series C Preferred Stock dividend payment date, in which case no additional amount for such accrued and unpaid dividend will be included in this sum) by (ii) the Common Stock Price; and
  
 
9.8814, (the “Stock Cap”), subject to the adjustments described below.
The Stock Cap is subject to pro rata adjustments for any stock splits (including those effected pursuant to a distribution of our Common Stock), subdivisions or combinations (in each case, a “Stock Split”) with respect to our Common Stock as follows: the adjusted Stock Cap as the result of a Stock Split will be the number of shares of our Common Stock that is equivalent to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the Stock Cap in effect immediately prior to such Stock Split by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding after giving effect to such Stock Split and the denominator of which is the number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such Stock Split.
For the avoidance of doubt, subject to the immediately succeeding sentence, the aggregate number of shares of our Common Stock (or equivalent Alternative Conversion Consideration (as defined below), as applicable) issuable in connection with the exercise of the Change of Control Conversion Right (or equivalent Alternative Conversion Consideration, as applicable), will not exceed 59,782,470 in total (or equivalent Alternative Conversion




Consideration, as applicable) (the “Exchange Cap”). The Exchange Cap is subject to pro rata adjustments for any Stock Splits on the same basis as the corresponding adjustment to the Stock Cap.
In the case of a Change of Control pursuant to which shares of our Common Stock will be converted into cash, securities or other property or assets (including any combination thereof) (the “Alternative Form Consideration”), a holder of Series C Preferred Stock will receive upon conversion of such Series C Preferred Stock the kind and amount of Alternative Form Consideration which such holder would have owned or been entitled to receive upon the Change of Control had such holder held a number of shares of our Common Stock equal to the Common Stock Conversion Consideration immediately prior to the effective time of the Change of Control (the “Alternative Conversion Consideration”), and the Common Stock Conversion Consideration or the Alternative Conversion Consideration, as may be applicable to a Change of Control (the “Conversion Consideration”).
If the holders of our Common Stock have the opportunity to elect the form of consideration to be received in the Change of Control, the consideration that the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock will receive will be the form and proportion of the aggregate consideration elected by the holders of our Common Stock who participate in the determination (based on the weighted average of elections) and will be subject to any limitations to which all holders of our Common Stock are subject, including, without limitation, pro rata reductions applicable to any portion of the consideration payable in the Change of Control.
We will not issue fractional shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock. Instead, we will pay the cash value of such fractional shares.
Within 15 days following the occurrence of a Change of Control, we will provide to holders of Series C Preferred Stock a notice of occurrence of the Change of Control that describes the resulting Change of Control Conversion Right. This notice will state the following:
  
 
the events constituting the Change of Control;
  
 
the date of the Change of Control;
  
 
the last date on which the holders of Series C Preferred Stock may exercise their Change of Control Conversion Right;
  
 
the method and period for calculating the Common Stock Price;
 
 
the Change of Control Conversion Date;
  
 
that if, prior to the Change of Control Conversion Date, we have provided or provide notice of our election to redeem all or any portion of the Series C Preferred Stock, holders will not be able to convert Series C Preferred Stock and such shares will be redeemed on the related redemption date, even if such shares have already been tendered for conversion pursuant to the Change of Control Conversion Right;
  
 
if applicable, the type and amount of Alternative Conversion Consideration entitled to be received per share of Series C Preferred Stock;
  
 
the name and address of the paying agent and the conversion agent; and
  
 
the procedures that the holders of Series C Preferred Stock must follow to exercise the Change of Control Conversion Right.
We will issue a press release and post a notice on our website, in any event prior to the opening of business on the first business day following any date on which we provide the notice described above to the holders of Series C Preferred Stock.
To exercise the Change of Control Conversion Right, the holder of Series C Preferred Stock will be required to deliver, on or before the close of business on the Change of Control Conversion Date, the certificates (if any) evidencing Series C Preferred Stock to be converted, duly endorsed for transfer, together with a written conversion notice completed, to our transfer agent. The conversion notice must state:




  
 
the relevant Change of Control Conversion Date;
  
 
the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock to be converted; and
  
 
that the Series C Preferred Stock is to be converted pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Series C Preferred Stock.
The “Change of Control Conversion Date” is the date the Series C Preferred Stock is to be converted, which will be a business day that is no fewer than 20 days nor more than 35 days after the date on which we provide the notice described above to the holders of Series C Preferred Stock.
The “Common Stock Price” will be: (i) the amount of cash consideration per share of Common Stock, if the consideration to be received in the Change of Control by the holders of our Common Stock is solely cash, or (ii) the average of the closing prices per share for our Common Stock on the NYSE for the ten consecutive trading days immediately preceding, but not including, the effective date of the Change of Control, if the consideration to be received in the Change of Control by the holders of our Common Stock is other than solely cash.
Holders of Series C Preferred Stock may withdraw any notice of exercise of a Change of Control Conversion Right (in whole or in part) by a written notice of withdrawal delivered to our transfer agent prior to the close of business on the business day prior to the Change of Control Conversion Date. The notice of withdrawal must state:
  
 
the number of withdrawn shares of Series C Preferred Stock;
  
 
if certificated Series C Preferred Stock have been issued, the certificate numbers of the withdrawn shares of Series C Preferred Stock; and
  
 
the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock, if any, which remain subject to the conversion notice.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Series C Preferred Stock is held in global form, the conversion notice and/or the notice of withdrawal, as applicable, must comply with applicable procedures of DTC.
Series C Preferred Stock as to which the Change of Control Conversion Right has been properly exercised and for which the conversion notice has not been properly withdrawn will be converted into the applicable Conversion Consideration in accordance with the Change of Control Conversion Right on the Change of Control Conversion Date, unless prior to the Change of Control Conversion Date we have provided or provide notice of our election to redeem such Series C Preferred Stock, whether pursuant to our optional redemption right or our special optional redemption right. If we elect to redeem Series C Preferred Stock that would otherwise be converted into the applicable Conversion Consideration on a Change of Control Conversion Date, such Series C Preferred Stock will not be so converted and the holders of such shares will be entitled to receive on the applicable redemption date $25.00 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon to, but not including, the redemption date, in accordance with our optional redemption right or special optional redemption right. See “— Optional Redemption” and “— Special Optional Redemption” above.
We will deliver amounts owing upon conversion no later than the third business day following the Change of Control Conversion Date.
We will comply with all U.S. federal and state securities laws and stock exchange rules in connection with any conversion of Series C Preferred Stock into shares of our Common Stock. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Series C Preferred Stock, no holder of Series C Preferred Stock will be entitled to convert such Series C Preferred Stock into shares of our Common Stock to the extent that receipt of such Common Stock would cause such holder (or any other person) to exceed the share ownership limits contained in our charter and our articles supplementary setting forth the terms of the Series C Preferred Stock, unless we provide an exemption from this limitation for such holder. See “— Restrictions on Ownership and Transfer” below.
Except as provided above in connection with a Change of Control, the Series C Preferred Stock is not convertible into or exchangeable for any other securities or property.
Liquidation Rights
Upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs, the holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to be paid out of our assets that are legally available for distribution to our stockholders (after payment or provision for payment of all of our debts and other liabilities) the sum of (a) the




liquidation preference of $25.00 per share and (b) an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid dividends (whether or not declared) to the date of payment, before any distribution of assets is made to holders of our Common Stock or shares of any class or series of our preferred stock that we may issue that ranks junior to the Series C Preferred Stock as to liquidation rights.
In the event that, upon any such voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up, our available assets are insufficient to pay the amount of the liquidating distributions on all outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock and the corresponding amounts payable on all shares of other classes or series of our capital stock ranking on a parity with the Series C Preferred Stock as to liquidation rights, including the Series B Preferred Stock, then the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock and all other such classes or series of capital stock shall share ratably in any such distribution of assets in proportion to the full liquidating distributions to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled.
Holders of Series C Preferred Stock will be entitled to written notice of any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up. After payment of the full amount of the liquidating distributions to which they are entitled, the holders of Series C Preferred Stock will have no right or claim to any of our remaining assets. The consolidation or merger of us with or into any other corporation, trust or entity or of any other corporation with or into us, a statutory share exchange by us or the sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all of our assets or business shall not be deemed to constitute a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of us.
Voting Rights
Holders of Series C Preferred Stock have no voting rights, except as follows:
  
 
If dividends on our Series C Preferred Stock are due for six or more quarterly periods and remain unpaid, whether or not these quarterly periods are consecutive, holders of the Series C Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class with the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock and any other class or series of preferred stock which have similar voting rights that are exercisable, will be entitled to vote for the election of two additional directors (if not already elected by the holders of such other classes or series of parity voting preferred stock) to serve on our board of directors until all dividend arrearages have been paid.
  
 
In addition, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding Series C Preferred Stock (voting as a separate class) is required for us to authorize, create or increase the authorized or issued amount of any class or series of our equity securities ranking senior to the outstanding Series C Preferred Stock as to dividends and amounts upon liquidation or to amend our charter (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise), in a manner that materially and adversely affects the rights of the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock, unless the Series C Preferred Stock remains outstanding with its terms materially unchanged or, if the Corporation is not the surviving entity, the Series C Preferred Stock is exchanged for a security of the surviving entity with terms that are materially the same as the Series C Preferred Stock.
In any matter in which the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to vote, each share of Series C Preferred Stock is entitled to one vote. If the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock and another series of preferred stock are entitled to vote together as a single class on any matter, the Series C Preferred Stock and the shares of the other class or series will have one vote for each $25.00 of liquidation preference. The two additional directors described above shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the holders of the outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock when they have the voting rights set forth above (voting together as a single class with the holders of any class or series of preferred stock which have similar voting rights that are exercisable) in such election to serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified or until such directors’ right to hold the office terminates, whichever occurs earlier.
Holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock vote on any matters on which holders of Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to vote as a single class with all other issued and outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock.





Information Rights
During any period in which we are not subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act and any shares of Series C Preferred Stock are outstanding, we will (i) transmit by mail or other permissible means under the Exchange Act to all holders of Series C Preferred Stock as their names and addresses appear in our record books and without cost to such holders, copies of the annual reports on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q that we would have been required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act if we were subject thereto (other than any exhibits that would have been required) and (ii) within 15 days following written request, supply copies of such reports to any prospective holder of the Series C Preferred Stock. We will mail (or otherwise provide) the reports to the holders of Series C Preferred Stock within 15 days after the respective dates by which we would have been required to file such reports with the SEC if we were subject to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
Restrictions on Ownership and Transfer
Our charter provides that no person or entity may beneficially own, or be deemed to own by virtue of the applicable constructive ownership provisions of the Code, more than 9.9% of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock. The articles supplementary designating the terms of the Series C Preferred Stock provide that the 9.9% ownership limitation applies to ownership of our Series C Preferred Stock as a separate class.
Any person who acquires or attempts to acquire beneficial or constructive ownership of Series C Preferred Stock that will or may violate the ownership limitation is required to give written notice immediately to us and provide us with such other information as we may request in order to determine the effect of such transfer on our REIT status.
If our Board of Directors or a committee thereof determines that a transfer or proposed transfer of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock violates or may violate the ownership limitation or certain other provisions of our charter prohibiting transfers that may have the effect of causing us to lose our REIT status, our Board of Directors or committee thereof is empowered to take any action it deems advisable to refuse to give effect to or to prevent such transfer, including (i) electing to purchase any shares owned by a person or group of affiliated persons in excess of the ownership limitations or (ii) refusing to transfer or issue shares to a person if an acquisition of shares by such person or group would result in such person or group exceeding these ownership limits or jeopardizing our status as a REIT. Any transfer of shares that would result in a person or group exceeding ownership limits or in our disqualification as a REIT is deemed void as of the date of such transfer. Our Board of Directors has the right to waive ownership limitations and excess share provisions of our charter and the articles supplementary designating the terms of the Series C Preferred Stock.

Whenever any vacancy occurs on the board of directors by reason of death, resignation, removal, or increase in the authorized number of directors, or otherwise, it may be filled by the board of directors or by the stockholders at a special meeting of the stockholders called for that purpose.
Annual Elections; Majority Voting
Each of our directors will be elected by our stockholders to serve until our next annual meeting of stockholders and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualifies. Our bylaws provide for majority voting in uncontested director elections. Pursuant to our bylaws, in a contested election, directors are elected by a plurality of all of the votes cast in the election of directors, and in an uncontested election, a director is elected if he or she receives more votes for his or her election than votes against his or her election.
Removal of Directors




Our charter provides that, subject to the rights, if any, of holders of any class or series of preferred stock to elect or remove one or more directors, a director may be removed only for cause, and then only by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes entitled to be cast generally in the election of directors. “Cause” is defined in our charter to mean the willful and continuous failure of a director to substantially perform such director’s duties (other than any such failure resulting from temporary incapacity due to physical or mental illness) or the willful engaging by a director in gross misconduct materially and demonstrably injurious to the corporation.
Calling of Special Meetings of Stockholders
Our bylaws provide that special meetings of stockholders may be called by our chairman of the board. Additionally, our bylaws provide that, subject to the satisfaction of certain procedural and informational requirements by the stockholders requesting the meeting, a special meeting of stockholders to act on any matter that may properly be considered at a meeting of stockholders shall be called by the chairman of the board or the secretary of the corporation upon the written request of (x) a majority of the directors or (y) the holders of 25 percent or more of all the votes entitled to be cast on such matter at such meeting.
Business Combinations
The MGCL provides that “business combinations” between a Maryland corporation and an interested stockholder or an affiliate of an interested stockholder are prohibited for five years after the most recent date on which the interested stockholder becomes an interested stockholder. These business combinations include a merger, consolidation, share exchange, or, in circumstances specified in the statute, an asset transfer or issuance or reclassification of equity securities. An interested stockholder is defined as:
any person who beneficially owns 10% or more of the voting power of the corporation’s voting stock; or
an affiliate or associate of the corporation who, at any time within the two-year period immediately prior to the date in question, was the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 10% or more of the voting power of the then outstanding stock of the corporation.
After the five-year prohibition, any business combination between the Maryland corporation and an interested stockholder generally must be recommended by the board of directors of the corporation and approved by two super-majority stockholder votes, unless, among other conditions, the holders of the corporation’s common stock receive a minimum price, as defined by Maryland law, for their shares and the consideration is received in cash or in the same form as previously paid by the interested stockholder for its shares. None of these provisions of Maryland law will apply, however, to business combinations that are approved or exempted by the board of directors of the corporation before the time that the interested stockholder becomes an interested stockholder. Furthermore, a person is not an interested stockholder if the transaction by which he or she would otherwise have become an interested stockholder is approved in advance by the board of directors.
As permitted by Maryland law, our charter contains an election exempting any business combinations between us and any other person or entity from the business combination provisions of the MGCL and, consequently, the five-year prohibition and the supermajority vote requirements will not apply to business combinations between us and any person as described above. As a result, any person described above may be able to enter into business combinations with us that may not be in the best interest of our stockholders without compliance by our company with the supermajority vote requirements and other provisions of the statute.





Control Share Acquisitions
The MGCL provides that the acquirer of certain levels of voting power in electing directors of a Maryland corporation (one-tenth or more, but less than one-third, one-third or more but less than a majority, and a majority or more) is not entitled to vote the shares in excess of the applicable threshold unless voting rights for the shares are approved at a meeting by holders of two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter, excluding shares of stock owned by the acquiror or by an officer or director of the corporation who is an employee of the corporation, or unless the acquisition of the shares has been specifically or generally approved or exempted from the statute by a provision in the corporation’s charter or bylaws adopted before the acquisition of the shares.
As permitted by Maryland law, our charter contains an election exempting from the control share acquisition statute any and all acquisitions by any person of shares of our stock.
Appraisal Rights
The MGCL provides that stockholders may exercise appraisal right, subject to certain exceptions, including if appraisal rights are eliminated under a company’s charter or if the company’s stock is listed on a national securities exchange. The Company’s preferred stock is listed on a national securities exchange, therefore stockholders will not be entitled to exercise appraisal rights in the event of our consolidation, merger, transfer or business combination, the acquisition of the stockholder’s stock in a share exchange, amendment of our charter in a way that substantially adversely affects the stockholders’ rights, or our conversion to a different form of entity.
Subtitle 8
Under Subtitle 8 of Title 3 of the MGCL, a Maryland corporation with a class of equity securities registered under the Exchange Act and at least three directors who are not officers or employees of the corporation, and who are not affiliated with a person who is seeking to acquire control of the corporation, may elect to be subject, by provision in its charter or bylaws or a resolution of its board of directors and notwithstanding any contrary provision in the charter or bylaws, to any or all of the following five provisions:
a classified board requirement;
a two-thirds vote requirement for removing a director;
a requirement that the number of directors be fixed only by vote of the board of directors;
a requirement that a vacancy on the board be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors and for the remainder of the full term of the class of directors in which the vacancy occurred and until a successor is elected and qualifies; or
a requirement for the calling of a special meeting of stockholders only at the written request of stockholders entitled to cast at least a majority of the votes entitled to be cast at the meeting.
We have not elected to create a classified board; however, our board of directors may elect in the future, without stockholder approval, to create a classified board or elect to be subject to one or more of the other provisions of Subtitle 8.
Amendments to Our Charter and Bylaws
Other than amendments permitted to be made without stockholder approval under Maryland law or by a specific provision in our charter, our charter may be amended only if such amendment is declared advisable by our board of directors and approved by the affirmative vote of stockholders entitled to cast two-thirds of all of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter. Our board of directors, without stockholder approval, has the power under our charter to amend our charter from time to time to increase or decrease the aggregate number of shares of stock or the number of shares of stock of any class or series that we are authorized to issue, to authorize us to issue authorized but unissued shares of our common stock or preferred stock and to classify any unissued shares of our preferred stock, or reclassify any unissued shares of our common stock or preferred stock, into one or more classes or series of stock and set the terms of such newly classified or reclassified shares.
Our board of directors may amend or repeal our bylaws or adopt new by laws. In addition, stockholders, by the affirmative vote of a majority of all votes entitled to be cast on the matter, may amend or repeal our bylaws or adopt new bylaws, provided, that stockholders may not alter or repeal the section of our bylaws providing for director, officer and employee indemnification or the provisions relating to amendment of the bylaws, in either case without the approval of our board of directors
Transactions Outside the Ordinary Course of Business




We generally may not merge with or into or consolidate with another company, sell all or substantially all of our assets or engage in a statutory share exchange or convert unless such transaction is declared advisable by our board of directors and approved by the affirmative vote of stockholders entitled to cast a majority of all of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter.
Anti-Takeover Effect of Certain Provisions of Maryland Law and of Our Charter and Bylaws
The provisions of the MGCL, our charter and our bylaws described above including, among others, and the restrictions on ownership and transfer of our stock, could delay, defer or prevent a transaction or a change of control of our company that might involve a premium price for holders of our common stock or otherwise be in their best interests.
Indemnification and Limitation of Directors’ and Officers’ Liability
Our charter and bylaws provide for indemnification of directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Maryland law.
The MGCL generally permits indemnification of any director or officer with respect to any proceedings unless it is established that: (a) the act or omission of the director or officer was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and was either (i) committed in bad faith or (ii) the result of active and deliberate dishonesty; (b) the director or officer actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services; or (c) in the case of a criminal proceeding, the director or officer had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful. The indemnity may include judgments, penalties, fines, settlements, and reasonable expenses actually incurred by the director or officer in connection with the proceedings. However, a corporation may not indemnify a director or officer who shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation, or who instituted a proceeding against the corporation (unless such proceeding was brought to enforce the indemnification provisions of the MGCL, or the charter, bylaws, a resolution of the board of directors of the corporation or an agreement approved by the board of directors). In addition, a director may not be indemnified under the MGCL in respect of any proceeding charging improper personal benefit to the director, whether or not involving action in the director’s official capacity, in which the director was adjudged to be liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received. The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order or settlement does not create a presumption that the director or officer did not meet the requisite standard of conduct required for permitted indemnification. The termination of any proceeding by conviction, or plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, or an entry of an order of probation prior to judgment, creates a rebuttable presumption that the director or officer did not meet that standard of conduct. A director or officer who has been successful on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding referred to above shall be indemnified against any reasonable expenses incurred by the director or officer in connection with the proceeding.
Insofar as the foregoing provisions permit indemnification of directors, officers or persons controlling us for liability arising under the Securities Act, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC, this indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.


USActive 59591805.6 CODE OF BUSINESS CONDUCT AND ETHICS 1. Introduction Wheeler Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. and its subsidiaries (together, the “Company”) has adopted this Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Code of Conduct”) to set out standards of conduct to guide all officers, directors and employees of the Company (collectively, the “Company Personnel”). While this Code of Conduct is intended to meet the standards for a code of business conduct and ethics under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, and the listing standards of the NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”), it should not be viewed as a substitute for each person’s thoughtful consideration as to whether any proposed individual course of conduct conforms to the highest ethical standards that the Company expects of Company Personnel. 2. The Code A. Obeying the Law Obeying the law, both in letter and in spirit, is the foundation. All Company Personnel must respect and obey the laws of all jurisdictions in which the Company operates. B. Fair Dealing and Competition It is the Company’s policy to deal fairly with its tenants, customers, lenders, suppliers and competitors. In the course of business dealings on behalf of the Company, no Company Personnel should take advantage of another person or party through manipulation, concealment, abuse of privileged information, misrepresentation of material facts or any other unfair business practice. C. Confidentiality All Company Personnel must maintain the confidentiality of non-public information entrusted to them by the Company, its tenants and customers, or other third parties, except when disclosure is otherwise authorized or legally mandated. Confidential information includes all non-public information that might be of use to competitors, or harmful to the Company or its tenants and customers, if disclosed. In particular, it includes non-public information that tenants and customers have entrusted to the Company. Exhibit 14.1


 
USActive 59591805.6 -2- D. Accounting Matters All Company Personnel participate, in some measure, in the gathering of information made available to the Company’s accounting department for use in the preparation of the Company’s financial reports and other information required to be publicly disclosed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and NASDAQ. Company Personnel involved in the gathering of such information should endeavor to ensure that such information is accurate and complete in all material respects through full compliance with the Company’s accounting requirements, internal disclosure, and accounting controls and audits. E. Records Retention All Company Personnel should retain documents and other records for such period of time as they and their colleagues will reasonably need such records in connection with the Company’s usual business activities. All documents not required to be retained for business or legal reasons, including draft work product, should not be retained and should be destroyed in order to reduce the high cost of storing and handling the vast amounts of material that would otherwise accumulate. However, under unusual circumstances, such as litigation, governmental investigation or if required by applicable state and federal law and regulations, your supervisor, manager, the human resources department or the Compliance Officer for this Code of Conduct (the “Code of Conduct Compliance Officer”) may notify you if retention of documents or other records is necessary. The Code of Conduct Compliance Officer is the Chief Financial Officer of the Company. In his or her absence, you may contact the General Counsel of the Company. F. Use and Protection of Company Assets Proper use and protection of the Company’s assets is the responsibility of all Company Personnel. Company facilities, materials, equipment, information and other assets should be used only for conducting the Company’s business and are not to be used for any unauthorized purpose. Company Personnel should guard against waste and abuse of Company assets. G. Conflicts of Interest Company Personnel are expected to avoid any situation in which their personal interests conflict, or have the appearance of conflicting, with those of the Company. For example: (i) Loans to, or guarantees of obligations of, Company Personnel and their family members by the Company may create conflicts of interest and are, accordingly, prohibited by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Accordingly, loans to Company Personnel or their family


 
USActive 59591805.6 -3- members by the Company, or guarantees of obligations of Company Personnel or family members from the Company are prohibited. (ii) A conflict of interest almost always exists when Company Personnel work concurrently for a competitor, customer or supplier. Company Personnel may not work for a competitor as a consultant or board member. The best policy is to avoid any direct or indirect business connection with the Company’s competitors, tenants, customers or suppliers, except on the Company’s behalf. (iii) A conflict of interest may also occur when Company Personnel have an ownership or financial interest in another business organization that is doing business with the Company or when Company Personnel have a direct or indirect interest in a transaction in which the Company is a participant. These transactions between the Company and the other organization are characterized as ‘Related Person Transactions’. While not all Related Person Transactions are improper, the Code of Conduct Compliance Officer must be made aware by Company Personnel involved of the details of each such transaction so that she can make a judgment as to the appropriateness of the transaction. The Related Person Transactions Committee has the authority to determine if a Related Person Transaction constitutes an impermissible conflict of interest. Please refer to the Charter of the Related Person Transactions Committee for further information. Conflicts of interest may not always be clear and are not always impermissible, so if you have a question, you should consult with your supervisor, manager, the human resources department or the Code of Conduct Compliance Officer. Also, if you become aware of a conflict or potential conflict, please bring it promptly to the attention of your supervisor, manager, the human resources department or the Code of Conduct Compliance Officer. H. Discrimination and Harassment The Company is firmly committed to providing equal opportunity in all aspects of employment and shall not tolerate illegal discrimination or harassment of any kind. I. Health and Safety All Company Personnel are required to follow health and safety rules, including by reporting accidents, injuries and unsafe equipment, practices or conditions. All Company Personnel must work free from the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs. J. Insider Trading All non-public information about the Company shall be considered confidential information. Company Personnel who have access to confidential information are


 
USActive 59591805.6 -4- not permitted to use or share that information for stock trading purposes. To use non-public information for personal financial benefit or to “tip” others who might make an investment decision on the basis of this information is not only unethical but also illegal. Please refer to the Company’s Insider Trading Policy for further information. 3. Questions about the Code of Conduct Any questions about how to interpret this Code of Conduct should be raised with your supervisor, manager, the human resources department or the Code of Conduct Compliance Officer. 4. Reporting Suspected Violations If any Company Personnel knows of or suspects any illegal or unethical conduct, or any other violation of this Code of Conduct, they should promptly report this to the Code of Conduct Compliance Officer. In dealing with any issues arising under, or relating to, this Code of Conduct, the Code of Conduct Compliance Officer shall, to the extent necessary or appropriate, confer with the CEO or the Board of Directors and/or any of its committees. No Company Personnel shall be required to identify themselves when reporting a violation. To the extent possible, the Company will use its best efforts to keep confidential the identity of anyone reporting a violation of this Code of Conduct. The Company will also use its best efforts to keep confidential the identities of Company Personnel about whom allegations of violations are brought, unless or until it is established that a violation has occurred. It is the Company’s policy that retaliation against any Company Personnel who report actual or suspected violations of this Code of Conduct is prohibited; anyone who attempts to retaliate will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal. 5. Enforcement Upholding this Code of Conduct is the responsibility of every officer, director and employee of the Company. The conduct of Company Personnel matters. Accordingly, violations of this Code of Conduct may lead to significant penalties, including dismissal. 6. Amendments and Waivers This Code of Conduct is maintained by the Board of Directors. In accordance with SEC rules, any amendment made (other than technical, administrative, or other non-substantive amendments), or waiver granted, to the Code of Conduct that applies to the Company’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or persons performing similar functions shall be disclosed in a Form 8-K filing.

Exhibit 97.1

CEDAR REALTY TRUST, INC.

INCENTIVE COMPENSATION CLAWBACK POLICY
This Incentive Compensation Clawback Policy (the “Policy”), which provides for the recovery of certain incentive compensation in the event of an Accounting Restatement (as defined below), is designed to comply with, and shall be interpreted to be consistent with, Section 10D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), Rule 10D-1 promulgated under the Exchange Act (“Rule 10D-1”) and Section 303A.14 of the Listed Company Manual (the “Listing Standard”) of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”).
1.Administration
Except as specifically set forth herein, this Policy shall be administered by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Cedar Realty Trust, Inc (the “Company”). If the Board creates a compensation committee (the “Compensation Committee”), the Compensation Committee shall administer this Policy so long as the Compensation Committee continues in existence.
The Administrator is authorized to interpret and construe this Policy and to make all determinations necessary, appropriate or advisable for the administration of this Policy. Any determinations made by the Administrator shall be final and binding on all affected individuals and need not be uniform with respect to each individual covered by the Policy.
In the administration of this Policy, the Administrator is authorized to consult with the full Board or such other committees of the Board as may be necessary or appropriate as to matters within the scope of such other committee’s responsibility and authority.
Subject to any limitation at applicable law, the Administrator may authorize and empower any officer or employee of the Company to take any and all actions necessary or appropriate to carry out the purpose and intent of this Policy (other than with respect to any recovery under this Policy involving such officer or employee).
2.Definitions
As used in this Policy, the following definitions shall apply:
Accounting Restatement” means an accounting restatement of the Company’s financial statements due to the Company’s material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, including any required accounting restatement to correct an error in previously issued financial statements that is material to the previously issued financial statements, or that would result in a material misstatement if the error were corrected in the current period or left uncorrected in the current period.
Administrator” means the Board or the Compensation Committee if a Compensation Committee exists.
Applicable Period” means the three completed fiscal years immediately preceding the date on which the Company is required to prepare an Accounting Restatement, as well as any transition period (that results from a change in the Company’s fiscal year) within or immediately following those three completed fiscal years (except that a transition period that comprises a period of at least nine months shall count as a completed fiscal year). The “date on which the Company



is required to prepare an Accounting Restatement” is the earlier to occur of (a) the date the Board, a committee of the Board, or an officer of the Company authorized to take such action if Board action is not required concludes, or reasonably should have concluded, that the Company is required to prepare an Accounting Restatement or (b) the date a court, regulator or other legally authorized body directs the Company to prepare an Accounting Restatement, in each case regardless of if or when the restated financial statements are filed.
Covered Executives” means the Company’s current and former executive officers, as determined by the Administrator in accordance with the definition of executive officer set forth in Rule 10D-1 and the Listing Standard.
Erroneously Awarded Compensation” has the meaning set forth in Section 5 of this Policy.
A “Financial Reporting Measure” is any measure that is determined and presented in accordance with the accounting principles used in preparing the Company’s financial statements, and any measure that is derived wholly or in part from such measure. Financial Reporting Measures include, but are not limited to, the following (and any measures derived from the following): Company stock price; total shareholder return (“TSR”); revenues; net income; operating income; profitability of one or more reportable segments; financial ratios (e.g., accounts receivable turnover and inventory turnover rates); earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization; funds from operations and adjusted funds from operations; liquidity measures (e.g., working capital, operating cash flow); return measures (e.g., return on invested capital, return on assets); earnings measures (e.g., earnings per share); any of such financial reporting measures relative to a peer group, where the Company’s financial reporting measure is subject to an Accounting Restatement; and tax basis income. A Financial Reporting Measure need not be presented within the Company’s financial statements or included in a filing with the Securities Exchange Commission.
Incentive-Based Compensation” means any compensation that is granted, earned or vested based wholly or in part upon the attainment of a Financial Reporting Measure. Incentive-Based Compensation is “received” for purposes of this Policy in the Company’s fiscal period during which the Financial Reporting Measure specified in the Incentive-Based Compensation award is attained, even if the payment or grant of such Incentive-Based Compensation occurs after the end of that period.
3.Covered Executives; Incentive-Based Compensation
This Policy applies to Incentive-Based Compensation received by a Covered Executive (a) after beginning services as a Covered Executive; (b) if that person served as a Covered Executive at any time during the performance period for such Incentive-Based Compensation; (c) while the Company had a listed class of securities on a national securities exchange; and (d) during the Applicable Period.
4.Required Recoupment of Erroneously Awarded Compensation in the Event of an Accounting Restatement
In the event the Company is required to prepare an Accounting Restatement, the Company shall promptly recoup the amount of any Erroneously Awarded Compensation received by any Covered Executive, as calculated pursuant to Section 5 hereof, during the Applicable Period.
2



5.Erroneously Awarded Compensation: Amount Subject to Recovery
The amount of “Erroneously Awarded Compensation” subject to recovery under the Policy, as determined by the Administrator, is the amount of Incentive-Based Compensation received by the Covered Executive that exceeds the amount of Incentive-Based Compensation that would have been received by the Covered Executive had it been determined based on the restated amounts.
Erroneously Awarded Compensation shall be computed by the Administrator without regard to any taxes paid by the Covered Executive in respect of the Erroneously Awarded Compensation.
By way of example, with respect to any compensation plans or programs that take into account Incentive-Based Compensation, the amount of Erroneously Awarded Compensation subject to recovery hereunder includes, but is not limited to, the amount contributed to any notional account based on Erroneously Awarded Compensation and any earnings accrued to date on that notional amount.
For Incentive-Based Compensation based on stock price or TSR: (a) the Administrator shall determine the amount of Erroneously Awarded Compensation based on a reasonable estimate of the effect of the Accounting Restatement on the stock price or TSR upon which the Incentive-Based Compensation was received; and (b) the Company shall maintain documentation of the determination of that reasonable estimate and provide such documentation to the NYSE.
6.Method of Recoupment
The Administrator shall determine, in its sole discretion, the timing and method for promptly recouping Erroneously Awarded Compensation hereunder, which may include, without limitation, (a) seeking reimbursement of all or part of any cash or equity-based award, (b) cancelling prior cash or equity-based awards, whether vested or unvested, or paid or unpaid, (c) cancelling or offsetting against any planned future cash or equity-based awards, (d) forfeiture of deferred compensation, subject to compliance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder, and (e) any other method authorized by applicable law or contract. Subject to compliance with any applicable law, the Administrator may effect recovery under this Policy by setting off against any amount otherwise payable to the Covered Executive, including amounts payable to such individual under any otherwise applicable Company plan or program, including base salary, bonuses or commissions and compensation previously deferred by the Covered Executive.
The Administrator shall determine the repayment schedule for any Erroneously Awarded Compensation. Such determination shall be consistent with any applicable legal guidance, by the SEC, judicial opinion or otherwise.
The Company is authorized and directed pursuant to this Policy to recoup Erroneously Awarded Compensation in compliance with this Policy unless the Administrator has determined that recovery would be impracticable solely for the following limited reasons, and subject to the following procedural and disclosure requirements:
The direct expense paid to a third party to assist in enforcing the Policy would exceed the amount to be recovered. Before concluding that it would be impracticable to recover any amount of Erroneously Awarded Compensation based on expense of enforcement, the Administrator must make a reasonable attempt to recover such erroneously awarded compensation, document such reasonable attempt(s) to recover and provide that documentation to the NYSE; or
3



Recovery would likely cause an otherwise tax-qualified retirement plan, under which benefits are broadly available to employees of the Company, to fail to meet the requirements of 26 U.S.C. 401(a)(13) or 26 U.S.C. 411(a) and regulations thereunder.
7.No Indemnification of Covered Executives
Notwithstanding the terms of any indemnification or insurance policy or any contractual arrangement with any Covered Executive that may be interpreted to the contrary, the Company shall not indemnify any Covered Executives against the loss of any Erroneously Awarded Compensation, including any payment or reimbursement for the cost of third-party insurance purchased by any Covered Executives to fund potential clawback obligations under this Policy.
8.Administrator Indemnification
Any members of the Administrator, and any other members of the Board, who assist in the administration of this Policy shall not be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation made with respect to this Policy and shall be fully indemnified by the Company to the fullest extent under applicable law and Company policy with respect to any such action, determination or interpretation. The foregoing sentence shall not limit any other rights to indemnification of the members of the Board under applicable law or Company policy.
9.Effective Date; Retroactive Application
This Policy shall be effective as of October 2, 2023 (the “Effective Date”). The terms of this Policy shall apply to any Incentive-Based Compensation that is received by Covered Executives on or after the Effective Date, even if such Incentive-Based Compensation was approved, awarded, granted or paid to Covered Executives prior to the Effective Date. Without limiting the generality of Section 6 hereof, and subject to applicable law, the Administrator may effect recovery under this Policy from any amount of compensation approved, awarded, granted, payable or paid to the Covered Executive prior to, on or after the Effective Date.
10.Amendment; Termination
The Board may amend, modify, supplement, rescind or replace all or any portion of this Policy at any time and from time to time in its discretion, and shall amend this Policy as it deems necessary to comply with applicable law or any rules or standards adopted by a national securities exchange on which the Company’s securities are listed.
11.Other Recoupment Rights; Company Claims
The Board intends that this Policy shall be applied to the fullest extent of the law. Any right of recoupment under this Policy is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other remedies or rights of recoupment that may be available to the Company under applicable law or pursuant to the terms of any similar policy in any employment agreement, equity award agreement, or similar agreement and any other legal remedies available to the Company.
Nothing contained in this Policy, and no recoupment or recovery as contemplated by this Policy, shall limit any claims, damages or other legal remedies the Company or any of its affiliates may have against a Covered Executive arising out of or resulting from any actions or omissions by the Covered Executive.
4



12.Successors
This Policy shall be binding and enforceable against all Covered Executives and their beneficiaries, heirs, executors, administrators or other legal representatives.
13.Exhibit Filing Requirement
A copy of this Policy and any amendments thereto shall be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K in accordance with SEC rules and regulations.

Business and Organization Business and Organization
The Company is a REIT that focuses on owning and operating income producing retail properties with a primary focus on grocery-anchored shopping centers primarily in the Northeast. At December 31, 2023, the Company owned a portfolio of 19 properties. Seven of these properties are located in Pennsylvania, four in Massachusetts, three in Connecticut, three in New Jersey, one in Maryland and one in Virginia.
The Company, organized as a Maryland corporation, has established an umbrella partnership structure through the contribution of substantially all of its assets to the Operating Partnership, organized as a limited partnership under the laws of Delaware. The Operating Partnership is the entity through which the Company conducts substantially all of its business and owns (either directly or through subsidiaries) substantially all of its assets. At December 31, 2023, the Company, which is a subsidiary of WHLR, owned a 100.0% interest in, and was the sole general partner of, the Operating Partnership.
As used herein, the "Company" refers to Cedar Realty Trust, Inc. and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, including the Operating Partnership or, where the context so requires, Cedar Realty Trust, Inc. only.
Asset Sale and Merger
On March 2, 2022, the Company entered into definitive agreements for the sale of the Company and its assets in a series of related all-cash transactions. Specifically, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into the Asset Purchase Agreement with the Grocery-Anchored Purchasers for the sale of a portfolio of 33 grocery-anchored shopping centers for cash. In addition, the Company entered into the Merger Agreement with WHLR and certain of its affiliates pursuant to which, following closing of the Grocery-Anchored Portfolio Sale, WHLR acquired the balance of the Company's shopping center assets by way of an all-cash merger transaction. The Transactions were unanimously approved by the Company's former Board of Directors and were approved by the Company's common stockholders at a special meeting of stockholders held on May 27, 2022.
On July 7, 2022, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries completed the Grocery-Anchored Portfolio Sale and the East River Park and Senator Square redevelopment asset sales for total gross proceeds of approximately $879 million, including the assumed debt. There were no material relationships among the Company, the Grocery-Anchored Purchasers, or any of their respective affiliates. On August 22, 2022, the Company completed the Merger. Each outstanding share of common stock of the Company and outstanding common unit of the Operating Partnership held by persons other than the Company immediately prior to the Merger were canceled and converted into the right to receive a cash payment of $9.48 per share or unit. As a result of the Merger, WHLR acquired all of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock, which ceased to be publicly traded on the NYSE. The Company's outstanding 7.25% Series B Preferred Stock and 6.50% Series C Preferred Stock remain outstanding and continue to trade on the NYSE. In addition, prior to consummation of the Merger, the Company's Board of Directors declared a special dividend on shares of the Company's outstanding common stock and OP Units of $19.52 per share, payable to holders of record of the Company's common stock and OP Units at the close of business on August 19, 2022.
In connection with the Transactions, the Company incurred transaction costs of $59.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, included in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations, of which $33.5 million relates to employee severance payments.

Generally, a VIE is an entity with one or more of the following characteristics: (1) the total equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, (2) as a group, the holders of the equity investment at risk (a) lack the power through voting or similar rights to make decisions about the entity's activities that significantly impact the entity's performance, (b) have no obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity, or (c) have no right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity, or (3) the equity investors have voting rights that are not proportional to their economic interests, and substantially all of the entity's activities either involve, or are conducted on behalf of, an investor that has disproportionately fewer voting rights. A VIE is required to be consolidated by its primary
beneficiary. The primary beneficiary of a VIE has (1) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance, and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. Significant judgments related to these determinations include estimates about the current values, performance of real estate held by these VIEs, and general market conditions.
Limited partnerships and other similar entities are considered variable interest entities unless the limited partners hold substantive kick-out rights or participating rights. Crossroads II, 60%-owned joint venture was consolidated as it was deemed to be a VIE and the Company was the primary beneficiary. The Company (1) guaranteed all related debt, (2) did not require its partners to fund additional capital requirements, (3) had an economic interest greater than its voting proportion and (4) directed the management activities that significantly impacted the performance of the joint venture. See Note 3, Real Estate, for additional details.
The accompanying financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis in accordance with GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods covered by the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Real Estate Investments
Real estate investments are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. The provision for depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method based upon the estimated useful lives of the respective assets of between 3 and 40 years, with buildings being depreciated at the upper end of the range. Depreciation expense, net of discontinued operations, amounted to $10.0 million and $8.5 million for 2023 and 2022, respectively. Expenditures for betterments that substantially extend the useful lives of the assets are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance, repairs, and betterments that do not substantially prolong the normal useful life of an asset are charged to operations as incurred.
Real estate investments include costs of development and redevelopment activities, and construction in progress. Capitalized costs, including interest and other carrying costs during the construction and/or renovation periods, are included in the cost of the related asset and charged to operations through depreciation over the asset's estimated useful life. A variety of costs are incurred in the development and leasing of a property, such as pre-construction costs essential to the development of the property, development costs, construction costs, interest costs, real estate taxes, salaries and related costs, and other costs incurred during the period of development. After a determination is made to capitalize a cost, it is allocated to the specific component of a project that is benefited. The Company ceases capitalization on the portions substantially completed and occupied, or held available for occupancy, and capitalizes only those costs associated with the portions under development. The Company considers a construction project to be substantially completed and held available for occupancy upon the completion of tenant improvements, but not later than one year from cessation of major construction activity.
The Company allocates the fair value of real estate acquired to land, buildings and improvements. In addition, the fair value of in-place leases is allocated to intangible lease assets and liabilities. The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property is determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, which value is then allocated to land, buildings and improvements based on management's determination of the fair values of these assets. In valuing an acquired property's intangibles, factors considered by management include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods, such as real estate taxes, insurance, other operating expenses, and estimates of lost rental revenue during the expected lease-up periods based on its evaluation of current market demand. Management also estimates costs to execute similar leases, including leasing commissions, tenant improvements, legal and other related costs.
The values of acquired above market and below market leases are recorded based on the present values (using discount rates which reflect the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the differences between the contractual amounts to be received and management's estimate of market lease rates, measured over the terms of the respective leases that management deemed appropriate at the time of the acquisitions. Such valuations include consideration of the non-cancelable terms of the respective leases as well as any applicable renewal periods. The fair values associated with below market rental renewal options are determined based on the Company's experience and the relevant facts and circumstances that existed at the time of the acquisitions. The values of above market leases are amortized to rental income over the terms of the respective non-cancelable lease periods. The portion of the values of below market leases associated with the original non-cancelable lease terms are amortized to rental income over the terms of the respective non-cancelable lease periods. The portion of the values of the leases associated with below market renewal options that are likely of exercise are amortized to rental income over the respective renewal periods. The value of other intangible assets (including leasing commissions, tenant improvements, etc.) is amortized to expense over the applicable terms of the respective leases. If a lease were to
be terminated prior to its stated expiration or not renewed, all unamortized amounts relating to that lease would be recognized in operations at that time.
Management reviews each real estate investment for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a real estate investment may not be recoverable. The review of recoverability of real estate investments held for use is based on an estimate of the future cash flows that are expected to result from the real estate investment's use and eventual disposition. These cash flows consider factors such as expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of leasing demand, capital expenditures, competition and other factors. If an impairment event exists due to the projected inability to recover the carrying value of a real estate investment, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying value exceeds estimated fair value.
Properties Held for Sale
The Company may decide to sell properties that are held for use. The Company records these properties as held for sale when management has committed to a plan to sell the assets, actively seeks a buyer for the assets, and the consummation of the sale is considered probable and is expected within one year.
The carrying values of the assets and liabilities of properties determined to be held for sale, principally the net book values of the real estate and the related mortgage loans payable expected to be assumed by the buyers, are reclassified as "held for sale" on the Company's consolidated balance sheets at the time such determinations are made, on a prospective basis only.
The Company, when applicable, conducts a continuing review of the values for all properties "held for sale" based on estimated sales prices and sales contracts entered into. Impairment charges/reversals, if applicable, are based on a comparison of the carrying values of the properties with either (1) actual sales prices less costs to sell for properties sold, or contract amounts less costs to sell for properties in the process of being sold, (2) estimated sales prices, less costs to sell, based on discounted cash flow analyses, if no contract amounts are being negotiated (see Note 4, Fair Value Measurements), or (3) with respect to land parcels, estimated sales prices, less costs to sell, based on comparable sales completed in the selected market areas. Prior to the Company's determination to dispose of properties, which are subsequently reclassified to "held for sale", the Company performs recoverability analyses based on the estimated undiscounted cash flows that are expected to result from the real estate investments' use and eventual disposal. The projected undiscounted cash flows of each property reflects that the carrying value of each real estate investment would be recovered. Properties meeting the "held for sale" criteria, are written down to the lower of their carrying value and estimated fair values less costs to sell.
The Company follows the guidance for reporting discontinued operations, whereby a disposal of an individual property or group of properties is required to be reported in "discontinued operations" only if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has, or will have, a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results. The results of operations for those properties not meeting such criteria are reported in "continuing operations" in the consolidated statements of operations.
Cash and Cash Equivalents / Restricted Cash
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in banks and short-term investments with original maturities when purchased of less than ninety days.
The terms of the secured term loans may require the Company to deposit certain replacement and other reserves with its lenders. Such "restricted cash" is generally available only for property-level requirements for which the reserves have been established. Restricted cash represents amounts held by lenders for real estate taxes, insurance, reserves for capital improvements, leasing costs and tenant security deposits.
Fair Value Measurements
The accounting guidance for fair value measurement establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three levels:
Level 1 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 – Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
Level 3 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible while also considering counterparty credit risk in the assessment of fair value.
Revenue Recognition and Receivables
The Company's underlying assets relating to rental revenue activity is solely retail space. The Company retains substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of these underlying assets and accounts for these leases as operating leases. The Company combines lease and nonlease components in lease contracts, which includes combining base rent and tenant reimbursement revenue.
Rental income with scheduled rent increases is recognized using the straight-line method over the respective non-cancelable terms of the leases. The aggregate excess of rental revenue recognized on a straight-line basis over the contractual base rents is included in receivables on the consolidated balance sheet. Leases also generally contain provisions under which the tenants reimburse the Company for a portion of property operating expenses and real estate taxes incurred, generally attributable to their respective allocable portions of gross leasable area. Such income is recognized in the periods earned. In addition, a limited number of operating leases contain contingent rent provisions under which tenants are required to pay, as additional rent, a percentage of their sales in excess of a specified amount.
The Company's leases generally require the tenant to reimburse the Company for a substantial portion of its expenses incurred in operating, maintaining, repairing, insuring and managing the shopping center and common areas (collectively defined as Common Area Maintenance or "CAM" expenses). This significantly reduces the Company's exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation or other outside factors. These reimbursements are considered nonlease components which the Company combines with the lease component. The Company calculates the tenant's share of operating costs by multiplying the total amount of the operating costs by the tenant's pro-rata percentage of square footage to total square footage of the property. The Company also receives monthly payments for these reimbursements from substantially all its tenants throughout the year. The Company recognizes tenant reimbursements as variable lease income.
The Company defers recognition of contingent rental income until those specified sales targets are met. Revenues also include items such as lease termination fees, which tend to fluctuate more than rents from year to year. Termination fees are fees that the Company has agreed to accept in consideration for permitting certain tenants to terminate their lease prior to the contractual expiration. The Company recognizes lease termination fees, which are included in revenues on the consolidated statements of operations, in the year that the lease is terminated and collection of the fee is reasonably assured. Upon early lease termination, the Company records losses related to unrecovered intangibles and other assets.
The Company determines an allowance for the uncollectible portion of accrued rents and accounts receivable based upon customer credit-worthiness (including expected recovery of a claim with respect to any tenants in bankruptcy), historical bad debt levels, and current economic trends. All amounts that were historically recorded as bad debt expense, and previously included in operating expenses in the Company's consolidated statement of operations, are now recorded as a reduction of rental revenues.
Segment Information
The Company's primary business is the ownership and operation of grocery-anchored shopping centers. The Company reviews operating and financial information for each property on an individual basis and, accordingly, each property represents an individual operating segment. The Company evaluates financial performance using property operating income, which consists of rental income and other property income, less operating expenses and real estate taxes. The Company has no operations outside of the United States of America. Therefore, the Company has aggregated its properties into one reportable segment as the properties share similar long-term economic characteristics and have other similarities including the fact that they are operated using consistent business strategies, are typically located in similar markets, and have similar tenant mixes.
Lease Commitments
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases, in which the Company is the lessee, are included in deferred costs and other assets, net, and accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities on the Company's consolidated balance sheets.
Right-of-use ("ROU") assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and the lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The operating lease ROU assets include any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. The Company's lease terms may include options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company combines lease and associated nonlease components. The lease components are the majority of its leasing arrangements and the Company accounts for the combined component as an operating lease. In the event the Company modifies existing ground leases or enters into new ground leases, such leases may be classified as finance leases.
Transaction Costs
All costs associated with the Grocery-Anchored Portfolio Sale and the Merger, were expensed as incurred.
Income Taxes
The Company, organized in 1984, has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") under the Code. A REIT will generally not be subject to federal income taxation on that portion of its income that qualifies as REIT taxable income, to the extent that it distributes at least 90% of such REIT taxable income to its stockholders and complies with certain other requirements. As of December 31, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all REIT requirements.
The Company follows a two-step approach for evaluating uncertain federal, state and local tax positions. Recognition (step one) occurs when an enterprise concludes that a tax position, based solely on its technical merits, is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination. Measurement (step two) determines the amount of benefit that more-likely-than-not will be realized upon settlement. Derecognition of a tax position that was previously recognized would occur when a company subsequently determines that a tax position no longer meets the more-likely-than-not threshold of being sustained. The Company has not identified any uncertain tax positions which would require an accrual.
Derivative Financial Instruments
Prior to the Merger, the Company occasionally utilized derivative financial instruments, principally interest rate swaps, to manage its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. The Company had established policies and procedures for risk assessment, and the approval, reporting and monitoring of derivative financial instruments. Derivative financial instruments had to be effective in reducing the Company's interest rate risk exposure in order to qualify for hedge accounting. When the terms of an underlying transaction were modified, or when the underlying hedged item ceased to exist, all changes in the fair value of the instrument were marked-to-market with changes in value included in net income for each period until the derivative financial instrument matured or was settled. Any derivative financial instrument used for risk management that did not meet the hedging criteria was marked-to-market with the changes in value included in net income.
Share-Based Compensation
During 2017, the Company's shareholders approved the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2017 Plan"), which replaced the Company's 2012 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2012 Plan"). As of the effective date of the 2017 Plan, the Company may not grant any further awards under the 2012 Plan. The 2017 Plan establishes the procedures for the granting of, among other things, restricted stock awards. On May 1, 2019, the Company's shareholders approved an amendment to the 2017 Plan, which increased the maximum number of shares of the Company's common stock that may be issued pursuant to the 2017 Plan by 303,000 shares, to a new total of 909,000 shares (see Note 14, Share-Based Compensation), and the maximum number of shares that may be granted to a participant in any calendar year may not exceed 76,000. All grants issued pursuant to the 2017 Plan generally vest (1) at the end of designated time
periods for time-based grants, or (2) upon the completion of a designated period of performance for performance-based grants and satisfaction of performance criteria. Time–based grants are valued according to the market price for the Company's common stock at the date of grant. For performance-based grants, the Company generally engages an independent appraisal company to determine the value of the shares at the date of grant, taking into account the underlying contingency risks associated with the performance criteria. The value of all grants are being expensed on a straight-line basis over their respective vesting periods (irrespective of achievement of the market performance-based grants) adjusted, as applicable, for forfeitures. For restricted share grants subject to graded vesting, the amounts expensed are at least equal to the measured expense of each vested tranche. Based on the terms of the 2017 Plan, those grants of restricted shares that are contributed to the Rabbi Trusts are classified as treasury stock on the Company's consolidated balance sheet. The 2017 Plan was terminated in connection with the Merger.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued guidance which requires disclosure of incremental segment information on both an annual and interim basis. The guidance will require that the Company continue to disclose existing segment information required by FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 280, as well as significant segment expenses and other segment items that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"). The Company will also be required to disclose the title and position of the CODM and how the CODM uses reported measures of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. The guidance will be effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning on January 1, 2024 and interim periods within the Company's fiscal year beginning on January 1, 2025. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the guidance, but does not believe it will have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Other accounting standards that have been recently issued or proposed by the FASB or other standard-setting bodies are not currently applicable to the Company or are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]  
Fair Value Measurements Fair Value Measurements
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, rents and other receivables, certain other assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities, and variable-rate debt approximate their fair value due to their terms and/or short-term nature. The fair value of the Company's investments and liabilities related to deferred compensation were determined to be Level 1 within the valuation hierarchy, and were based on independent values provided by financial institutions.
The fair value of the Company's fixed rate secured term loans were estimated using available market information and discounted cash flow analyses based on borrowing rates the Company believes it could obtain with similar terms and maturities. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the fair value of the Company's fixed rate secured term loans, which were determined to be Level 3 within the valuation hierarchy, was $131.4 million and $131.8 million, respectively, and the carrying value of such loans, was $140.5 million and $131.5 million, respectively.
Nonfinancial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the consolidated financial statements consist of real estate held for sale, which, if applicable, are measured on a nonrecurring basis, and have been determined to be (1) Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy, where applicable, based on the respective contracts of sale, adjusted for closing costs and expenses, or (2) Level 3 within the valuation hierarchy, where applicable, based on estimated sales prices, adjusted for closing costs and expenses, determined by
discounted cash flow analyses, income capitalization analyses or a sales comparison approach if no contracts had been concluded. The discounted cash flow and income capitalization analyses include all estimated cash inflows and outflows over a specific holding period and, where applicable, any estimated debt premiums. These cash flows were composed of unobservable inputs which included forecasted rental revenues and expenses based upon existing in-place leases, market conditions and expectations for growth. Capitalization rates and discount rates utilized in these analyses were based upon observable rates that the Company believed to be within a reasonable range of current market rates for the respective properties. The sales comparison approach is utilized for certain land values and includes comparable sales that were completed in the selected market areas. The comparable sales utilized in these analyses were based upon observable per acre rates that the Company believes to be within a reasonable range of current market rates for the respective properties.
As a result of the Grocery-Anchored Portfolio Sale, the Company has no interest rate swap and deferred compensation assets or liabilities as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.
For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded impairments of $9.4 million related to Riverview Plaza, located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, which was sold that same year, and the Company's then-investment in the unconsolidated joint venture and the then-note receivable associated with Senator Square located in Washington D.C., both of which assets were sold in the Grocery-Anchored Portfolio Sale. These charges are included in impairment charges in the consolidated statement of operations. The fair value of the assets was determined to be Level 2. Such assets have an aggregate fair value of $0.0 million as of December 31, 2022.

Risks and Uncertainties [Abstract]  
Concentration of Credit Risk Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents in excess of insured amounts and tenant receivables. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with high quality financial institutions. Management performs ongoing credit evaluations of its tenants and requires certain tenants to provide security deposits and/or suitable guarantees.
Excluding properties included in discontinued operations, there were no tenants that accounted for an aggregate of more than 10% of the Company's total revenues during 2023 and 2022.
For the year ended December 31, 2023, one property constitutes approximately 14.6% of the Company's revenues and five properties constitute approximately 90.4% of the Company's property operating income in the aggregate.
The Company's properties are located largely in the Northeast, which exposes it to greater economic risks than if the properties it owned were located in a greater number of geographic regions (in particular, 7 of the Company's properties are located in Pennsylvania).

Commitments and Contingencies Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is the lessee under several ground lease agreements and its executive office lease agreement. The executive office lease agreement was terminated during the third quarter of 2022. As of December 31, 2023, the Company's weighted average remaining lease term is approximately 47.8 years and the weighted average discount rate used to calculate the Company's lease liability is approximately 8.6%. Rent expense under the Company's ground lease and executive office lease agreements was approximately $0.2 million and $0.3 million for 2023 and 2022, respectively.
The following table represents a reconciliation of the Company's undiscounted future minimum lease payments for its ground lease and executive office lease agreements applicable to lease liabilities as of December 31, 2023:

Insurance
The Company carries comprehensive liability, property, fire, flood, wind, extended coverage, business interruption and rental loss insurance covering all of the properties in its portfolio under an insurance policy, in addition to other coverages, such as trademark and pollution coverage that may be appropriate for certain of its properties. Additionally, the Company carries a directors', officers', entity and employment practices liability insurance policy that covers such claims made against the Company and its directors and officers. The Company believes the policy specifications and insured limits are appropriate and adequate for its properties given the relative risk of loss, the cost of the coverage and industry practice; however, its insurance coverage may not be sufficient to fully cover losses.
Regulatory and Environmental
As the owner of the buildings on our properties, the Company could face liability for the presence of hazardous materials (e.g., asbestos or lead) or other adverse conditions (e.g., poor indoor air quality) in its buildings. Environmental laws govern the presence, maintenance, and removal of hazardous materials in buildings, and if the Company does not comply with such laws, it could face fines for such noncompliance. Also, the Company could be liable to third parties (e.g., occupants of the buildings) for damages related to exposure to hazardous materials or adverse conditions in its buildings, and the Company could incur material expenses with respect to abatement or remediation of hazardous materials or other adverse conditions in its buildings. In addition, some of the Company's tenants routinely handle and use hazardous or regulated substances and wastes as part of their operations at our properties, which are subject to regulation. Such environmental and health and safety laws and regulations could subject the Company or its tenants to
liability resulting from these activities. Environmental liabilities could affect a tenant's ability to make rental payments to the Company, and changes in laws could increase the potential liability for noncompliance. This may result in significant unanticipated expenditures or may otherwise materially and adversely affect the Company's operations. The Company is not aware of any material contingent liabilities, regulatory matters or environmental matters that may exist.
Litigation
The Company is involved in various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of its business, including, but not limited to commercial disputes. The Company believes that such litigation, claims and administrative proceedings will not have a material adverse impact on its financial position or its results of operations. The Company records a liability when it considers the loss probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. In addition, the below legal proceedings are in process:
As described in Note 1, on March 2, 2022, the Company entered into definitive agreements for the Transactions, which provided for the sale of the Company and its assets in a series of related all-cash transactions. On April 8, 2022, several purported holders of the Company's outstanding preferred stock filed a putative class action complaint against the Company, the Board of Directors prior to the Merger, and WHLR in Montgomery County Circuit Court, Maryland entitled Sydney, et al. v. Cedar Realty Trust, Inc., et al., (Case No. C-15-CV-22-001527).
On May 6, 2022, the Plaintiffs in Sydney filed a motion for a preliminary injunction. Also on May, 6, 2022, a purported holder of the Company's outstanding preferred stock filed a separate putative class action complaint against the Company and the Board of Directors prior to the Merger in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, entitled Kim v. Cedar Realty Trust, Inc., et al., Civil Action No. 22-cv-01103. On May 11, 2022, the Company, the former Board of Directors of the Company and WHLR removed the Sydney action to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, Case No. 8:22-cv-01142-GLR. On May 16, 2022, the court ordered that a hearing on the Sydney Plaintiffs' motion for preliminary injunction be held on June 22, 2022. On June 2, 2022, the Plaintiffs in Kim also filed a motion for a preliminary injunction. The court consolidated the motions for preliminary injunction.
On June 23, 2022, following a hearing, the court issued an order denying both motions for preliminary injunction, holding that the Plaintiffs in both cases were unlikely to succeed on the merits and that Plaintiffs had not established that they would suffer irreparable harm if the injunction was denied.
By order dated July 11, 2022, the court consolidated the Sydney and Kim cases and set an August 24, 2022 deadline for the Plaintiffs in both cases to file a consolidated amended complaint. Plaintiffs filed their amended complaint on August 24, 2022. The amended complaint alleges on behalf of a putative class of holders of the Company's preferred stock, among other things, claims for breach of contract against the Company and the former Board of Directors with respect to the articles supplementary governing the terms of the Company's preferred stock, breach of fiduciary duty against the former Board of Directors, and tortious interference and aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty against WHLR. On October 7, 2022, Defendants moved to dismiss the amended complaint. Plaintiffs opposed the motion to dismiss and filed a motion to certify a question of law to Maryland's Supreme Court. On August 1, 2023, the court issued a decision and order granting Defendants' motions to dismiss, without leave to amend, and denying Plaintiffs' motion to certify a question of law to the Maryland Supreme Court. The Plaintiffs appealed the dismissal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, Case No. 23-1905, docketed on August 30, 2023. The appeal has been fully briefed. At this juncture, the outcome of the litigation remains uncertain.
On July 11, 2022, a purported holder of the Company's outstanding preferred stock filed a complaint against the Company and the Board of Directors prior to the Merger in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, entitled High Income Securities Fund v. Cedar Realty Trust, Inc., et al., No. 2:22-cv-4031. The complaint alleged that the Defendants violated Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and SEC Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder by making false and misleading statements and omissions, and that the former Board of Directors are control persons under Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. On September 25, 2023, the Court granted Defendants' motion to dismiss the complaint with prejudice, and the time within which the Plaintiff could have appealed such decision has passed.
On October 14, 2022, a purported holder of the Company's outstanding preferred stock filed a putative class action against the Company, the Board of Directors prior to the Merger, and WHLR in Nassau County Supreme Court, New York entitled Krasner v. Cedar Realty Trust, Inc., et al., (Case No. 613985/2022). The complaint alleges on behalf of a putative class of holders of the Company's preferred stock, among other things, claims for breach of contract against the Company and the former Board of Directors with respect to the articles supplementary governing the terms of the Company's preferred stock, breach of fiduciary duty against the
former Board of Directors, and tortious interference and aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty against WHLR. The complaint seeks, among other relief, an award of monetary damages, attorneys' fees, and expert fees. The Defendants filed motions in the Nassau County action to dismiss or stay the case based both on the pendency of the lawsuit in Maryland in which the same claims were asserted by other preferred stockholders and on the merits. The court held a hearing on the motions on October 27, 2023, and on December 4, 2023 granted the motions to dismiss based on the pendency of the lawsuit in Maryland without addressing the merits.

Former President and CEO Employment Contract
On June 15, 2018, the Company's then-President and CEO was granted a market performance-based equity award of 227,272 restricted stock units ("RSUs") and 227,272 dividend equivalent rights ("DERs") of the Company. Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of common stock if certain market performance criteria are achieved. Each DER accrues and will be deemed to be reinvested into the Company's common stock for which payment will only be made for the portion of the market performance-based equity award that are earned and vest. During the three years ending June 15, 2021 (the "Interim Performance Period"), a maximum of 113,636 shares were earned. Any portion of the market performance-based equity award that was not earned as of the end of the Interim Performance Period was to be carried forward for calculation for the five years ending June 15, 2023 (the "Full Performance Period"). The percentage of the market performance-based equity award to be earned was to be determined based on the Company's annual return on an investment in the Company's common stock ("TSR") over the Interim Performance Period and/or over the Full Performance Period as follows: if average annual TSR (1) is below 4%, the percentage of grant earned would be 0%, (2) equals 4%, the percentage of grant earned would be 33.3%, (3) equals 6.5%, the percentage of grant earned would be 66.7%, and (4) equals 10% or above, the percentage of grant earned would be 100%. Linear interpolation was to be applied to determine the percentage of the market performance-based equity award that is earned where the average annual TSR over the performance period falls between the percentages set forth above. Based on market performance for the Interim Performance Period, it was determined the Company's then-President and CEO earned 113,636 shares. Accordingly, on July 20, 2021, the Company issued 113,636 common shares to the then-President and CEO and paid him $0.3 million for the related DERs.
On August 22, 2022, due to a change in control of the Company in connection with the Transactions, the RSUs fully vested. On August 26, 2022, the Company's then-President and CEO received an aggregate cash payment of $3.3 million, representing the aggregate per share merger consideration and per share special dividend amount attributable to the vested RSUs, along with $0.5 million for the related DERs.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]  
Earnings Per Share Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to the Company's common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period including participating securities (restricted shares that have non-forfeitable rights to receive dividends issued pursuant to the Company's share-based compensation program are considered participating securities). Unvested restricted shares that are participating securities are not allocated net losses and/or any excess of dividends declared over net income, as such amounts are allocated entirely to the common shareholders. For 2023 and 2022, the
Company had 0.0 million and 0.2 million, respectively, of weighted average unvested restricted shares outstanding. The following table provides a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the EPS calculations for 2023 and 2022, respectively:

Fully-diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into shares of common stock. For 2023, there were no market performance-based equity awards issued or outstanding. For 2022, no RSUs would have been issuable under the Company's then-President and CEO's market performance-based equity award (see Note 14, Share-Based Compensation) had the measurement period ended on December 31, 2022, and therefore, this market performance-based equity award had no impact in calculating diluted EPS for this period. Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests of the Operating Partnership has been excluded from the numerator and the related OP Units have been excluded from the denominator for the purpose of calculating diluted EPS as there would have been no dilutive effect had such amounts been included. The weighted average number of OP Units outstanding was 0 and 44,000 for 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Company, the Operating Partnership, its subsidiaries, and certain joint venture partnerships in which it participates. The Company consolidates all variable interest entities ("VIEs") for which it is the primary beneficiary. Generally, a VIE is an entity with one or more of the following characteristics: (1) the total equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, (2) as a group, the holders of the equity investment at risk (a) lack the power through voting or similar rights to make decisions about the entity's activities that significantly impact the entity's performance, (b) have no obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity, or (c) have no right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity, or (3) the equity investors have voting rights that are not proportional to their economic interests, and substantially all of the entity's activities either involve, or are conducted on behalf of, an investor that has disproportionately fewer voting rights. A VIE is required to be consolidated by its primary
beneficiary. The primary beneficiary of a VIE has (1) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance, and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. Significant judgments related to these determinations include estimates about the current values, performance of real estate held by these VIEs, and general market conditions.
Limited partnerships and other similar entities are considered variable interest entities unless the limited partners hold substantive kick-out rights or participating rights. Crossroads II, 60%-owned joint venture was consolidated as it was deemed to be a VIE and the Company was the primary beneficiary. The Company (1) guaranteed all related debt, (2) did not require its partners to fund additional capital requirements, (3) had an economic interest greater than its voting proportion and (4) directed the management activities that significantly impacted the performance of the joint venture. See Note 3, Real Estate, for additional details.
Basis of Preparation
The accompanying financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis in accordance with GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods covered by the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Real Estate Investments
Real estate investments are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. The provision for depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method based upon the estimated useful lives of the respective assets of between 3 and 40 years, with buildings being depreciated at the upper end of the range. Depreciation expense, net of discontinued operations, amounted to $10.0 million and $8.5 million for 2023 and 2022, respectively. Expenditures for betterments that substantially extend the useful lives of the assets are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance, repairs, and betterments that do not substantially prolong the normal useful life of an asset are charged to operations as incurred.
Real estate investments include costs of development and redevelopment activities, and construction in progress. Capitalized costs, including interest and other carrying costs during the construction and/or renovation periods, are included in the cost of the related asset and charged to operations through depreciation over the asset's estimated useful life. A variety of costs are incurred in the development and leasing of a property, such as pre-construction costs essential to the development of the property, development costs, construction costs, interest costs, real estate taxes, salaries and related costs, and other costs incurred during the period of development. After a determination is made to capitalize a cost, it is allocated to the specific component of a project that is benefited. The Company ceases capitalization on the portions substantially completed and occupied, or held available for occupancy, and capitalizes only those costs associated with the portions under development. The Company considers a construction project to be substantially completed and held available for occupancy upon the completion of tenant improvements, but not later than one year from cessation of major construction activity.
The Company allocates the fair value of real estate acquired to land, buildings and improvements. In addition, the fair value of in-place leases is allocated to intangible lease assets and liabilities. The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property is determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, which value is then allocated to land, buildings and improvements based on management's determination of the fair values of these assets. In valuing an acquired property's intangibles, factors considered by management include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods, such as real estate taxes, insurance, other operating expenses, and estimates of lost rental revenue during the expected lease-up periods based on its evaluation of current market demand. Management also estimates costs to execute similar leases, including leasing commissions, tenant improvements, legal and other related costs.
The values of acquired above market and below market leases are recorded based on the present values (using discount rates which reflect the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the differences between the contractual amounts to be received and management's estimate of market lease rates, measured over the terms of the respective leases that management deemed appropriate at the time of the acquisitions. Such valuations include consideration of the non-cancelable terms of the respective leases as well as any applicable renewal periods. The fair values associated with below market rental renewal options are determined based on the Company's experience and the relevant facts and circumstances that existed at the time of the acquisitions. The values of above market leases are amortized to rental income over the terms of the respective non-cancelable lease periods. The portion of the values of below market leases associated with the original non-cancelable lease terms are amortized to rental income over the terms of the respective non-cancelable lease periods. The portion of the values of the leases associated with below market renewal options that are likely of exercise are amortized to rental income over the respective renewal periods. The value of other intangible assets (including leasing commissions, tenant improvements, etc.) is amortized to expense over the applicable terms of the respective leases. If a lease were to
be terminated prior to its stated expiration or not renewed, all unamortized amounts relating to that lease would be recognized in operations at that time.
Management reviews each real estate investment for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a real estate investment may not be recoverable. The review of recoverability of real estate investments held for use is based on an estimate of the future cash flows that are expected to result from the real estate investment's use and eventual disposition. These cash flows consider factors such as expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of leasing demand, capital expenditures, competition and other factors. If an impairment event exists due to the projected inability to recover the carrying value of a real estate investment, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying value exceeds estimated fair value.
Properties Held for Sale
The Company may decide to sell properties that are held for use. The Company records these properties as held for sale when management has committed to a plan to sell the assets, actively seeks a buyer for the assets, and the consummation of the sale is considered probable and is expected within one year.
The carrying values of the assets and liabilities of properties determined to be held for sale, principally the net book values of the real estate and the related mortgage loans payable expected to be assumed by the buyers, are reclassified as "held for sale" on the Company's consolidated balance sheets at the time such determinations are made, on a prospective basis only.
The Company, when applicable, conducts a continuing review of the values for all properties "held for sale" based on estimated sales prices and sales contracts entered into. Impairment charges/reversals, if applicable, are based on a comparison of the carrying values of the properties with either (1) actual sales prices less costs to sell for properties sold, or contract amounts less costs to sell for properties in the process of being sold, (2) estimated sales prices, less costs to sell, based on discounted cash flow analyses, if no contract amounts are being negotiated (see Note 4, Fair Value Measurements), or (3) with respect to land parcels, estimated sales prices, less costs to sell, based on comparable sales completed in the selected market areas. Prior to the Company's determination to dispose of properties, which are subsequently reclassified to "held for sale", the Company performs recoverability analyses based on the estimated undiscounted cash flows that are expected to result from the real estate investments' use and eventual disposal. The projected undiscounted cash flows of each property reflects that the carrying value of each real estate investment would be recovered. Properties meeting the "held for sale" criteria, are written down to the lower of their carrying value and estimated fair values less costs to sell.
The Company follows the guidance for reporting discontinued operations, whereby a disposal of an individual property or group of properties is required to be reported in "discontinued operations" only if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has, or will have, a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results. The results of operations for those properties not meeting such criteria are reported in "continuing operations" in the consolidated statements of operations.
Cash and Cash Equivalents / Restricted Cash
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in banks and short-term investments with original maturities when purchased of less than ninety days.
The terms of the secured term loans may require the Company to deposit certain replacement and other reserves with its lenders. Such "restricted cash" is generally available only for property-level requirements for which the reserves have been established. Restricted cash represents amounts held by lenders for real estate taxes, insurance, reserves for capital improvements, leasing costs and tenant security deposits.
Fair Value Measurements
The accounting guidance for fair value measurement establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three levels:
Level 1 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 – Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
Level 3 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible while also considering counterparty credit risk in the assessment of fair value.
Revenue Recognition and Receivables
The Company's underlying assets relating to rental revenue activity is solely retail space. The Company retains substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of these underlying assets and accounts for these leases as operating leases. The Company combines lease and nonlease components in lease contracts, which includes combining base rent and tenant reimbursement revenue.
Rental income with scheduled rent increases is recognized using the straight-line method over the respective non-cancelable terms of the leases. The aggregate excess of rental revenue recognized on a straight-line basis over the contractual base rents is included in receivables on the consolidated balance sheet. Leases also generally contain provisions under which the tenants reimburse the Company for a portion of property operating expenses and real estate taxes incurred, generally attributable to their respective allocable portions of gross leasable area. Such income is recognized in the periods earned. In addition, a limited number of operating leases contain contingent rent provisions under which tenants are required to pay, as additional rent, a percentage of their sales in excess of a specified amount.
The Company's leases generally require the tenant to reimburse the Company for a substantial portion of its expenses incurred in operating, maintaining, repairing, insuring and managing the shopping center and common areas (collectively defined as Common Area Maintenance or "CAM" expenses). This significantly reduces the Company's exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation or other outside factors. These reimbursements are considered nonlease components which the Company combines with the lease component. The Company calculates the tenant's share of operating costs by multiplying the total amount of the operating costs by the tenant's pro-rata percentage of square footage to total square footage of the property. The Company also receives monthly payments for these reimbursements from substantially all its tenants throughout the year. The Company recognizes tenant reimbursements as variable lease income.
The Company defers recognition of contingent rental income until those specified sales targets are met. Revenues also include items such as lease termination fees, which tend to fluctuate more than rents from year to year. Termination fees are fees that the Company has agreed to accept in consideration for permitting certain tenants to terminate their lease prior to the contractual expiration. The Company recognizes lease termination fees, which are included in revenues on the consolidated statements of operations, in the year that the lease is terminated and collection of the fee is reasonably assured. Upon early lease termination, the Company records losses related to unrecovered intangibles and other assets.
The Company determines an allowance for the uncollectible portion of accrued rents and accounts receivable based upon customer credit-worthiness (including expected recovery of a claim with respect to any tenants in bankruptcy), historical bad debt levels, and current economic trends. All amounts that were historically recorded as bad debt expense, and previously included in operating expenses in the Company's consolidated statement of operations, are now recorded as a reduction of rental revenues.
Segment Information
The Company's primary business is the ownership and operation of grocery-anchored shopping centers. The Company reviews operating and financial information for each property on an individual basis and, accordingly, each property represents an individual operating segment. The Company evaluates financial performance using property operating income, which consists of rental income and other property income, less operating expenses and real estate taxes. The Company has no operations outside of the United States of America. Therefore, the Company has aggregated its properties into one reportable segment as the properties share similar long-term economic characteristics and have other similarities including the fact that they are operated using consistent business strategies, are typically located in similar markets, and have similar tenant mixes.
Lease Commitments
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases, in which the Company is the lessee, are included in deferred costs and other assets, net, and accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities on the Company's consolidated balance sheets.
Right-of-use ("ROU") assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and the lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The operating lease ROU assets include any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. The Company's lease terms may include options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company combines lease and associated nonlease components. The lease components are the majority of its leasing arrangements and the Company accounts for the combined component as an operating lease. In the event the Company modifies existing ground leases or enters into new ground leases, such leases may be classified as finance leases.
Transaction Costs
All costs associated with the Grocery-Anchored Portfolio Sale and the Merger, were expensed as incurred.
Income Taxes
The Company, organized in 1984, has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") under the Code. A REIT will generally not be subject to federal income taxation on that portion of its income that qualifies as REIT taxable income, to the extent that it distributes at least 90% of such REIT taxable income to its stockholders and complies with certain other requirements. As of December 31, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all REIT requirements.
The Company follows a two-step approach for evaluating uncertain federal, state and local tax positions. Recognition (step one) occurs when an enterprise concludes that a tax position, based solely on its technical merits, is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination. Measurement (step two) determines the amount of benefit that more-likely-than-not will be realized upon settlement. Derecognition of a tax position that was previously recognized would occur when a company subsequently determines that a tax position no longer meets the more-likely-than-not threshold of being sustained. The Company has not identified any uncertain tax positions which would require an accrual.
Derivative Financial Instruments Prior to the Merger, the Company occasionally utilized derivative financial instruments, principally interest rate swaps, to manage its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. The Company had established policies and procedures for risk assessment, and the approval, reporting and monitoring of derivative financial instruments. Derivative financial instruments had to be effective in reducing the Company's interest rate risk exposure in order to qualify for hedge accounting. When the terms of an underlying transaction were modified, or when the underlying hedged item ceased to exist, all changes in the fair value of the instrument were marked-to-market with changes in value included in net income for each period until the derivative financial instrument matured or was settled. Any derivative financial instrument used for risk management that did not meet the hedging criteria was marked-to-market with the changes in value included in net income.
Share-Based Compensation
During 2017, the Company's shareholders approved the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2017 Plan"), which replaced the Company's 2012 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2012 Plan"). As of the effective date of the 2017 Plan, the Company may not grant any further awards under the 2012 Plan. The 2017 Plan establishes the procedures for the granting of, among other things, restricted stock awards. On May 1, 2019, the Company's shareholders approved an amendment to the 2017 Plan, which increased the maximum number of shares of the Company's common stock that may be issued pursuant to the 2017 Plan by 303,000 shares, to a new total of 909,000 shares (see Note 14, Share-Based Compensation), and the maximum number of shares that may be granted to a participant in any calendar year may not exceed 76,000. All grants issued pursuant to the 2017 Plan generally vest (1) at the end of designated time
periods for time-based grants, or (2) upon the completion of a designated period of performance for performance-based grants and satisfaction of performance criteria. Time–based grants are valued according to the market price for the Company's common stock at the date of grant. For performance-based grants, the Company generally engages an independent appraisal company to determine the value of the shares at the date of grant, taking into account the underlying contingency risks associated with the performance criteria. The value of all grants are being expensed on a straight-line basis over their respective vesting periods (irrespective of achievement of the market performance-based grants) adjusted, as applicable, for forfeitures. For restricted share grants subject to graded vesting, the amounts expensed are at least equal to the measured expense of each vested tranche. Based on the terms of the 2017 Plan, those grants of restricted shares that are contributed to the Rabbi Trusts are classified as treasury stock on the Company's consolidated balance sheet. The 2017 Plan was terminated in connection with the Merger.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued guidance which requires disclosure of incremental segment information on both an annual and interim basis. The guidance will require that the Company continue to disclose existing segment information required by FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 280, as well as significant segment expenses and other segment items that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"). The Company will also be required to disclose the title and position of the CODM and how the CODM uses reported measures of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. The guidance will be effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning on January 1, 2024 and interim periods within the Company's fiscal year beginning on January 1, 2025.
