Forward Looking Statements
This press release contains certain "forward-looking" statements
as that term is defined by Section 27A of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of

other similar expressions are forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements involve significant known and unknown
risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results in future
periods to differ materially from those projected or contemplated

to, the following factors: the COVID-19 pandemic and related
challenges, risks and uncertainties which have had, and may
continue to have, direct and indirect adverse impacts on the
general economy, mall environment, tenants, customers, and
employees, as well as mall and tenant operations (including the
ability to remain open) and operating procedures, occupancy, anchor
and mall tenant sales, sales-based rent, rent collection, leasing
and negotiated rents, mall development and redevelopment activities
and the fair value of assets (increasing the likelihood of future
impairment charges); future economic performance, including
stabilization and recovery from the impact of the COVID-19
pandemic; savings due to cost-cutting measures; payments of
dividends and the sufficiency of cash to meet operational needs;
changes in market rental rates; unscheduled closings or
bankruptcies of tenants; relationships with anchor tenants; trends
in the mall industry; challenges with department stores; changes in
consumer shopping behavior, including accelerated trends resulting
from the COVID-19 pandemic; the liquidity of real estate
investments; the failure to receive, on a timely basis or
otherwise, the required approvals by Taubman's shareholders; the
risk that a condition to closing of the transaction may not be
satisfied; Simon Property Group, Inc (“Simon”)'s and Taubman's

its expectations regarding FFO per share accretion); the ability of
Taubman to retain key personnel and maintain relationships with
business partners pending the consummation of the transaction; and
the impact of legislative, regulatory and competitive changes and
other risk factors relating to the industries in which Simon and
Taubman operate, as detailed from time to time in each of Simon's
