<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.25in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
core of our business originated with the shopping center businesses of Melvin
Simon, Herbert Simon, David Simon and other members and associates of the Simon
family. We have grown significantly by acquiring properties and merging with
other real estate companies, including our 1996 merger with DeBartolo Realty
Corporation, our 1998 combination with Corporate Property Investors,&nbsp;Inc.,
our 2004 acquisition of Chelsea Property Group,&nbsp;Inc. and our 2007
acquisition of a 50% interest in the joint venture that acquired The Mills
Corporation, or Mills.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.25in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">As of June&nbsp;30,
2009, we owned or held an interest in 324 income-producing properties in the
United States, which consisted of 179 regional malls, 40 Premium Outlet
Centers, 16 The Mills, 74 community/lifestyle centers, and 15 other shopping
centers or outlet centers in 41 states and Puerto Rico. In addition, we also
own an interest in one parcel of land in the United States held for future
development. Internationally, as of June&nbsp;30, 2009, we had ownership
interests in 51 European shopping centers (France, Italy and Poland); seven
Premium Outlet centers in Japan; one Premium Outlet center in Mexico; one
Premium Outlet center in South Korea; and one shopping center in China.&#160; Also, through joint venture arrangements, we
have ownership interests in the following properties under development
internationally:&#160; a 24% interest in two
shopping centers in Italy, a 40% interest in a Premium Outlet center in Japan,
and a 32.5% interest in three additional shopping centers under construction in
China.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.25in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We
paid the first two quarterly dividends on our common stock in a combination of
cash and additional shares of common stock. We issued approximately 8,044,969
shares of common stock in these dividends. On August&nbsp;4, 2009, we announced
that our third quarterly dividend of 2009 of $0.60 per share of common stock
would be payable on September&nbsp;18, 2009 in a combination of cash and shares
of common stock, and the cash component of the total dividend will not exceed
20% in the aggregate of such dividend.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.25in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Taxable
U.S. stockholders will be required to pay tax on the entire amount of the
dividend, including the common stock component. Such stockholders may be
required to pay the tax using cash from other sources. If a U.S. stockholder
sells the common stock it receives as a dividend in order to pay this tax, the
sales proceeds may be less than the amount included in income with respect to
the dividend, depending on the market price of the common stock at the time of
sale. Furthermore, with respect to non-U.S. stockholders, we may be required to
withhold U.S. tax with respect to such dividend, including in respect of all or
a portion of the dividend payable in common stock. See &#147;Certain Federal Income
Tax Considerations&#148; in this prospectus supplement. In addition, sales of common
stock in order to pay taxes owed on dividends could have an adverse effect on
the market price of our common stock.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.25in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We
have also announced that our board of directors decided that dividends on our
common stock for 2009 would be reduced to the minimum amount required to
distribute 100% of our taxable income. While this decision reflects our current
expectation, the decision to declare and pay dividends on our common stock in
the future, as well as the timing, amount and composition of future dividends,
will be determined in the sole discretion of our board of directors and will
depend on actual and projected cash flow, financial condition, funds from
operations, earnings, capital requirements, the annual REIT distribution
requirements, contractual prohibitions or other restrictions, applicable law
and such other factors as our board of directors deems relevant.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.25in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
IRS recently issued guidance regarding the tax treatment of stock distributions
paid by a REIT. Under that guidance a REIT may pay up to 90% of a distribution
in common stock. To maintain our qualification as a REIT, we are required each
year to distribute to stockholders at least 90% of our net taxable income after
certain adjustments. We paid our first two quarterly dividends in 2009 in a
combination of cash and shares of common stock, with the cash limited to 10% of
the total first quarter dividend and 20% of the total second quarter dividend.
Future dividends are determined in the discretion of our board of directors and
depend on actual and projected cash flow, financial condition, funds from
operations, earnings, capital requirements, the annual REIT distribution
requirements, contractual prohibitions or other restrictions, applicable law
and such other factors as our board of directors deems relevant. No
determination has been made as to whether our remaining 2009 dividends will be
paid in a similar combination of cash and common stock. Paying all or a portion
of the 2009 dividend in a combination of cash and common stock would allow us
to satisfy our REIT taxable income distribution requirement under existing IRS
revenue procedures, while enhancing our financial flexibility and balance sheet
strength.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.25in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Provided
that the distribution satisfies certain criteria, a U.S. holder generally must
include the sum of the value of the common stock and the amount of cash
received in its gross income as dividend income to the extent that such holder&#146;s
share of the distribution is made out of its share of the portion of our
current and accumulated earnings and profits allocable to such distribution.
The value of any common stock received as part of a distribution generally is
equal to the amount of cash that could have been received instead of the common
stock. Depending on the circumstances of the holder, the tax on the
distribution may exceed the amount of the distribution received in cash, in
which case such U.S. holder would have to pay the tax using cash from other
sources. If a U.S. holder sells the stock it receives as a dividend in order to
pay this tax and the sales proceeds are less than the amount required to be
included in income with respect to the dividend, such holder could have a
capital loss with respect to the stock sale that could not be used to offset
such dividend income. Furthermore, with respect to non-U.S. holders, we may be </font></p>

connection with the preservation of our REIT status, the depositary shares are
not convertible into our common stock or any other of our securities or
property. Nevertheless, if the applicable prospectus supplement so specifies,
the holders of the depositary receipts may surrender their depositary receipts
to the depositary with written instructions to the depositary to instruct us to
cause conversion of the preferred stock represented by the depositary shares
evidenced by such depositary receipts into whole shares of common stock, other
shares of our preferred stock or other shares of our capital stock, and we have
agreed that upon receipt of such instructions and any amounts payable in
respect thereof, we will cause the conversion of the depositary shares
utilizing the same procedures as those provided for delivery of preferred stock
to effect such conversion. If the depositary shares evidenced by a depositary
receipt are to be converted in part only, the depositary will issue a new
depositary receipt for any depositary shares not to be converted. No fractional
shares of common stock will be issued upon conversion, and if such conversion
will result in a fractional share being issued, we will pay an amount in cash
equal to the value of the fractional interest based upon the closing price of
the common stock on the last business day prior to the conversion.</p>

time can amend the form of depositary receipt and any provision of the deposit
agreement. However, any amendment that materially and adversely alters the
rights of the holders of depositary receipts or that would be materially and
adversely inconsistent with the rights granted to holders of the related
preferred stock will be effective only if the existing holders of at least
two-thirds of the depositary shares have approved the amendment. No amendment
shall impair the right, subject to certain exceptions in the deposit agreement,
of any holder of depositary receipts to surrender any depositary receipt with
instructions to deliver to the holder the related preferred stock and all money
and other property, if any, represented thereby, except in order to comply with
law. Every holder of an outstanding depositary receipt at the time an amendment
becomes effective shall be deemed, by continuing to hold the depositary
receipt, to consent and agree to the amendment and to be bound by the deposit
agreement as amended thereby.</p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Our charter and by-laws and
certain provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law may have an
anti-takeover effect. These provisions may delay, defer or prevent a tender
offer or takeover attempt that a stockholder would consider in its best
interest. This includes an attempt that might result in a premium over the
market price for the shares held by stockholders. These provisions are expected
to discourage certain types of coercive takeover practices and inadequate
takeover bids. They are also expected to encourage persons seeking to acquire
control of us to negotiate first with our board of directors. We believe that
the benefits of these provisions outweigh the potential disadvantages of
discouraging takeover proposals because, among other things, negotiation of
takeover proposals might result in an improvement of their terms.</font></p>

effect of precluding a contest for the election of directors or the
consideration of stockholder proposals if the proper procedures are not
followed. Our by-laws may also discourage or deter a third party from
soliciting proxies to elect its own slate of directors or to approve its own
proposal, without regard to whether consideration of the nominees or proposals
might be harmful or beneficial to us and our stockholders.</font></p>

believe it is essential for us to maintain our status as a REIT, the provisions
of our charter with respect to Excess Stock contain restrictions on the

requirements.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Our charter provides that,
subject to certain specified exceptions, no stockholder may own, or be deemed
to own by virtue of the attribution rules&nbsp;of the Internal Revenue Code,
more than the ownership limit. The ownership limit is equal to 8%, or 18% in
the case of members of the Simon family and related persons, of any class of
capital stock. The board of directors may exempt a person from the ownership
limit if the board of directors receives a ruling from the Internal Revenue
Service or an opinion of tax counsel that such ownership will not jeopardize
our status as a REIT.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Anyone acquiring shares in
excess of the ownership limit will lose control over the power to dispose of
the shares, will not receive dividends declared and will not be able to vote
the shares. In the event of a purported transfer or other event that would, if
effective, result in the ownership of shares of stock in violation of the
ownership limit, the transfer or other event will be deemed void with respect
to that number of shares that would be owned by the transferee in excess of the
ownership limit. The intended transferee of the excess shares will acquire no
rights in those shares of stock. Those shares of stock will automatically be
converted into shares of Excess Stock according to rules&nbsp;set forth in the charter.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Upon a purported transfer or
other event that results in Excess Stock, the Excess Stock will be deemed to
have been transferred to a trustee to be held in trust for the exclusive
benefit of a qualifying charitable organization designated by us. The Excess
Stock will be issued and outstanding stock, and it will be entitled to
dividends equal to any dividends which are declared and paid on the stock from
which it was converted. Any dividend or distribution paid prior to our
discovery that stock has been converted into Excess Stock is to be repaid upon
demand. The recipient of the dividend will be personally liable to the trust.
Any dividend or distribution declared but unpaid will be rescinded as void with
respect to the shares of stock and will automatically be deemed to have been
declared and paid with respect to the shares of Excess Stock into which the
shares were converted. The Excess Stock will also be entitled to the voting
rights as are ascribed to the stock from which it was converted. Any voting
rights exercised prior to our discovery that shares of stock were converted to
Excess Stock will be rescinded and recast as determined by the trustee.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">While Excess Stock is held in
trust, an interest in that trust may be transferred by the purported transferee,
or other purported holder with respect to the Excess Stock, only to a person
whose ownership of the shares of stock would not violate the ownership limit.
Upon such transfer, the Excess Stock will be automatically exchanged for the
same number of shares of stock of the same type and class as the shares of
stock for which the Excess Stock was originally exchanged.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Our charter contains provisions
that are designed to ensure that the purported transferee or other purported
holder of the Excess Stock may not receive in return for such a transfer an
amount that reflects any appreciation in the shares of stock for which the

to have acted as an agent on behalf of the trust in acquiring or holding the
Excess Stock and to hold the Excess Stock on behalf of the trust.</font></p>

of each offering of securities offered by this prospectus, as otherwise
specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, our tax counsel will render
an opinion to the underwriters of that offering to the effect that, commencing
with our taxable year December&nbsp;31, 1973, we (as one of our predecessors,
Corporate Property Investors,&nbsp;Inc.) have been organized in conformity with
the requirements for qualification as a REIT, and our method of operation has
enabled us to meet, and our proposed method of operation will enable us to
continue to meet, the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT
under the Internal Revenue Code. It must be emphasized that this opinion will
be based on various assumptions and representations that we will make as to
factual matters, including representations to be made in a factual certificate
to be provided by one of our officers. In addition, this opinion will be based
on our factual representations set forth in this prospectus and in the
applicable prospectus supplement. Our tax counsel will have no obligation to
update its opinion subsequent to the date it is rendered. Moreover, our
qualification and taxation as a REIT depend on our ability to meet, through
actual annual operating results, asset diversification, distributions and
diversity of stock ownership, the various qualification tests imposed by the
Code, discussed below, the results of which will not be reviewed by our tax
counsel. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that our actual results of
operations for any particular taxable year will satisfy those requirements.
Further, the anticipated U.S. Federal income tax treatment described in this
prospectus may be changed, perhaps retroactively, by legislative,
administrative or judicial action at any time.</font></p>

reduced rates of tax to the extent that these distributions constitute &#147;qualified
dividend income&#148;. Such amounts will be specified in a written notice to
stockholders. However, we do not expect a significant portion of the
distributions to be eligible for treatment as &#147;qualified dividend income&#148;. For
purposes of determining whether distributions to holders of common stock are
out of current or accumulated earnings and profits, earnings and profits will
be allocated first to the outstanding preferred stock and then to the common
stock.</font></p>

distributions in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits,
these distributions will be treated first as a tax-free return of capital to
each U.S. holder. This treatment will reduce the adjusted basis, but not below
zero, which each U.S. holder has in his shares of stock for tax purposes by the
amount of the distribution in excess of current and accumulated earnings and
profits. Such distributions in excess of a U.S. holder&#146;s adjusted basis in his
shares will be treated as capital gain, provided that the shares have been held
as a capital asset, and will be long-term capital gain if the shares have been
held for more than one year. Dividends declared in October, November, or December&nbsp;of
any year and payable to a stockholder of record on a specified date in any of
these months shall be treated as both paid by us and received by the
stockholder on December&nbsp;31 of that year, provided we actually pay the
dividend on or before January&nbsp;31 of the following calendar year.

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The IRS has ruled that amounts
distributed as dividends by a REIT do not constitute unrelated business taxable
income when received by a tax-exempt pension trust and certain other tax-exempt
entities. Based on that ruling, provided that a tax-exempt stockholder, except
certain tax-exempt stockholders described below, has not held its shares as &#147;debt
financed property&#148; within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code and the shares
are not otherwise used in an unrelated trade or business, our dividend income
will not be unrelated business taxable income to a tax-exempt stockholder.
Generally, shares will be treated as &#147;debt financed property&#148; if the
acquisition of such shares was financed through a borrowing by the tax-exempt
stockholder. Similarly, income from the sale of shares will not constitute
unrelated business taxable income unless a tax-exempt stockholder has held its

however, a portion of the dividends paid by a &#147;pension held REIT&#148; are treated

more than 10% (by value) of the interests in the REIT. A REIT will not be a &#147;pension

interest, or &#147;USRPI,&#148; within the meaning of the Foreign Investment in Real
Property Act, or &#147;FIRPTA,&#148; and that is not designated by us as a capital gain
dividend will be treated as an ordinary income dividend to the extent made out
of current or accumulated earnings and profits. Generally, an ordinary income
dividend will be subject to tax at the rate of 30% of the gross amount of the
distribution unless such tax is reduced or eliminated by an applicable tax
treaty. A distribution in excess of our earnings and profits will be treated
first as a return of capital that will reduce a non-U.S. holder&#146;s basis in its
shares of our stock, but not below zero, and then as gain from the disposition
of such shares, the tax treatment of which is described under the rules&nbsp;discussed
below with respect to dispositions of shares. We are required to withhold from
distributions to non-U.S. holders, and to remit to the IRS, 30% of the amount
of ordinary dividends or such lower amount specified by an applicable treaty.
We may be required to withhold at least 10% of any distribution even if a lower
treaty rate applies (if our common stock constituted a USRPI), and a
distribution in excess of our earnings and profits may be subject to 30%
dividend withholding if, at the time of the distribution, it cannot be
determined whether the distribution will be in an amount in excess of our
current or accumulated earnings and profits. As discussed below, we believe our

of amounts withheld from its distribution if the amount withheld with respect
to the distribution is more than its U.S. tax liability with respect to such
distribution.</font></p>

Distributions that are subject to FIRPTA are taxed to a non-U.S. holder as if
such distributions were gains &#147;effectively connected&#148; with a United States

capital gain rates applicable to a U.S. holder on such amounts, subject to any
applicable alternative minimum tax and a special alternative minimum tax in the
case of nonresident alien individuals. Distributions subject to FIRPTA may also

holder that is not entitled to a treaty exemption. We will be required to withhold
from distributions subject to FIRPTA, and remit to the IRS, 35% of designated
capital gain dividends, or, if greater, 35% of the amount of any distributions
that could be designated as capital gain dividends. In addition, if we
designate prior distributions as capital gain dividends, subsequent
distributions, up to the amount of such prior distributions not withheld
against, will be treated as capital gain dividends for purposes of withholding.
It should be noted that the 35% withholding tax rate on capital gain dividends
currently corresponds to the maximum income tax rate applicable to
corporations, but it is higher than the maximum rate on capital gains of
individuals.</font></p>

taxation. Our shares will not constitute a USRPI if we are a &#147;domestically
controlled REIT.&#148; A domestically controlled REIT is a REIT in which at all
times during a specified testing period less than 50% in value of its shares is
held directly or indirectly by non-U.S. holders. We believe that we are a
domestically controlled REIT, and therefore that the sale of shares of common
stock will not be subject to taxation under FIRPTA. However, because our shares
are publicly traded, no assurance can be given that we are or will continue to
be a domestically controlled REIT. If we were not a domestically controlled
REIT, a non-U.S. holder&#146;s sale of shares would not be subject to tax under
FIRPTA as a sale of a United States real property interest if the shares were &#147;regularly
traded&#148;, as defined by applicable Treasury Regulations, on an established
securities market, <i>e.g.</i>, the New
York Stock Exchange, on which our common stock is listed and if the selling
stockholder&#146;s interest constitutes 5% or less of the fair market value of all
of our common stock during the five-year period preceding the disposition. If
the gain on the sale of our shares were subject to taxation under FIRPTA, the
non-U.S. holder would be subject to the same treatment as a U.S. holder with
respect to such gain, subject to applicable alternative minimum tax and a
special alternative minimum tax in the case of nonresident alien individuals.
In any event, a purchaser of our common stock from a non-U.S. holder will not
be required under FIRPTA to withhold on the purchase price if the purchased
shares are &#147;regularly traded&#148; on an established securities market and such
non-U.S. holder owns directly or indirectly at all times during a specified
testing period 5% or less of the value of such class of stock, or if we are a
domestically controlled REIT. Otherwise, under FIRPTA, the purchaser of the
common stock may be required to withhold 10% of the purchase price and remit
such amount to the IRS. Notwithstanding the foregoing, capital gain not subject
to FIRPTA will be taxable to a non-U.S. holder if the non-U.S. holder is a
nonresident alien individual who is present in the United States for
183&nbsp;days or more during the taxable year and certain other conditions apply,
in which case the nonresident alien individual will be subject to a 30% tax on
such individual&#146;s capital gains.</font></p>

believe we have been organized and operated in a manner which allows us to
qualify for taxation as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code. We intend to
continue to operate in this manner. However, our qualification and taxation as
a REIT depend upon our ability to meet, through actual annual operating

year and that the fifth condition must be met during at least 335&nbsp;days of
a taxable year of twelve months, or during a proportionate part of a taxable
year of less than twelve months. The fifth and sixth conditions do not apply
until after the first taxable year for which an election is made to be taxed as
a REIT. For purposes of the sixth condition, pension funds and certain other
tax-exempt entities are treated as individuals, subject to a &#147;look-through&#148;

however, may not ensure that we will, in all cases, be able to satisfy the

requirements, our status as a REIT will terminate unless we are eligible for
specified relief provisions as described below. However, if we comply with the rules&nbsp;contained
in applicable Treasury Regulations that require us to ascertain the actual

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In the case of a REIT which is
a partner in a partnership, the Treasury Regulations provide that the REIT will
be deemed to own its proportionate share, generally in proportion to its
capital interest in such partnership, of the assets of the partnership. Also,
the REIT will be deemed to be entitled to the income of the partnership
attributable to its proportionate share, based on its capital interest, of such
assets. The character of the assets and gross income of the partnership retain
the same character in the hands of the REIT for purposes of Section&nbsp;856 of
the Internal Revenue Code, including satisfying the gross income tests and the
asset tests. Thus, our proportionate share of the Operating Partnership&#146;s
assets and items of income, including our share of these items of any
partnership in which the Operating Partnership owns an interest, are treated as
our assets and items of income for purposes of applying the requirements
described in this prospectus, including the income and asset tests described
below. We have included a brief summary of the rules&nbsp;governing the federal
income taxation of partnerships and their partners below in &#147;&#151;Tax aspects of
partnerships and joint ventures.&#148; We have direct control of the Operating
Partnership and will continue to operate the Operating Partnership consistent
with the requirements for our qualification as a REIT. However, the Operating
Partnership has non-managing ownership interests in certain joint ventures. If
a joint venture takes or expects to take actions which could jeopardize our
status as a REIT or subject us to tax, the Operating Partnership may be forced
to dispose of its interest in such joint venture. In addition, it is possible
that a joint venture could take an action which could cause us to fail a REIT
income or asset test, and that we would not become aware of such action in a
time frame which would allow the Operating Partnership to dispose of our
interest in the joint venture or take other corrective action on a timely
basis. In such a case, we could fail to qualify as a REIT unless certain
mitigation provisions applied.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We own 100% of the stock of
several subsidiaries that are qualified REIT subsidiaries and we may acquire
stock of one or more new subsidiaries. A corporation will qualify as a
qualified REIT subsidiary if we hold 100% of its stock directly and we do not
elect to treat the subsidiary as a taxable REIT subsidiary. A qualified REIT
subsidiary will not be treated as a separate corporation, and all assets,
liabilities and items of income, deduction and credit of a qualified REIT
subsidiary will be treated as our assets, liabilities and such items, as the
case may be, for all purposes of the Internal Revenue Code, including the REIT
qualification tests. For this reason, references under &#147;&#151;Taxation as a REIT&#148; to
our income and assets include the income and assets of each qualified REIT
subsidiary. A qualified REIT subsidiary will not be subject to federal income
tax, and our ownership of the voting stock of a qualified REIT subsidiary will
not violate the restrictions against ownership of securities of any one issuer
which constitute more than 10% of the value or total voting power of such
issuer or more than 5% of the value of a REIT&#146;s total assets, as described
below under &#147;&#151;Taxation as a REIT&#151;Asset tests.&#148;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Internal Revenue Code
provides that REITs may own more than ten percent of the voting power and value
of securities in taxable REIT subsidiaries. A corporation is treated as a
taxable REIT subsidiary if a REIT owns stock in the corporation and the REIT
and the corporation jointly elect such treatment. In the event such an election
is made, any corporation of which the taxable REIT subsidiary owns 35% of the
total voting power or value of the outstanding securities is also treated as a
taxable REIT subsidiary. A taxable REIT subsidiary is a corporation subject to
U.S. Federal income tax as a regular &#147;C&#148; corporation and, where applicable,
state and local corporate income taxes.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Although the activities and income
of taxable REIT subsidiaries are subject to tax, taxable REIT subsidiaries are
permitted to engage in certain activities that the REIT could not engage in
itself. Additionally, under certain limited conditions, a REIT may receive
income from a taxable REIT subsidiary that would be treated as rent. See the
discussion under &#147;&#151;Taxation as a REIT&#151;Income tests&#148; below. As discussed more
fully under &#147;&#151;Taxation as a REIT&#151;Asset tests&#148; below, not more than 20% (25% for
taxable years beginning after December&nbsp;31, 2008) of the fair market value
of a REIT&#146;s assets can be composed of securities of taxable REIT subsidiaries
and stock of a taxable REIT subsidiary is not a qualified asset for purposes of
the 75% asset test.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The amount of interest on
related party debt a taxable REIT subsidiary may deduct is limited. Further, a
100% excise tax applies to any interest payments by a taxable REIT subsidiary
to its affiliated REIT to the extent the interest rate is set above a
commercially reasonable level. A taxable REIT subsidiary is permitted to deduct
interest payments to unrelated parties without any such restrictions, although
other interest deduction limitation rules&nbsp;could apply.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Internal Revenue Code
allows the IRS to reallocate costs between a REIT and its taxable REIT
subsidiary. Any deductible expenses allocated away from a taxable REIT
subsidiary would increase its tax liability, and the amount of such increase
would be subject to interest charges. Further, any amount by which a REIT
understates its deductions and overstates those of its taxable REIT subsidiary
will, subject to certain exceptions, be subject to a 100% excise tax.</font></p>

indirectly owns more than 99% of the outstanding equity of Retail Property
Trust, a Massachusetts business trust, and Simon Kravco&nbsp;LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company, each of which has elected to be taxed as a REIT.
Each of these subsidiaries must meet the REIT qualification tests discussed
above. Each of them may be subject to tax on certain of its income as discussed
above. See &#147;&#151;Taxation as a REIT&#151;General.&#148; The failure of any or all of them to
qualify as a REIT could cause us to fail to qualify as a REIT because we would
own more than 10% of the voting securities and value of an issuer that was not
a REIT, a qualified REIT subsidiary or a taxable REIT subsidiary unless certain
mitigation provisions applied. We believe that each of these subsidiaries has
been organized and operated in a manner that will permit us to qualify as a
REIT.</font></p>

from real property,&#148; dividends from other REITs (but not taxable REIT
subsidiaries), and, in certain circumstances, income from certain types of
temporary investments. Second, in each taxable year we must derive at least 95%
of our gross income, excluding gross income from prohibited transactions, from
these real property investments, dividends, including dividends from taxable
REIT subsidiaries, interest and gain from the sale or disposition of stock or
securities, or from any combination of the foregoing. The term &#147;interest&#148;

state whether in all circumstances we would be entitled to the benefit of these
relief provisions. If these relief provisions do not apply to a particular set
of circumstances, we will not qualify as a REIT. As discussed above in &#147;&#151;Taxation
as a REIT&#151;General,&#148; even if these relief provisions apply, and we retain our
status as a REIT, a tax would be imposed with respect to our excess net income.
We may not always be able to maintain compliance with the gross income tests
for REIT qualification despite periodic monitoring of our income.</font></p>

Partnership enters into hedging transactions with respect to one or more of its
assets or liabilities in the ordinary course of its business. Hedging
transactions take a variety of forms, including interest rate swaps or cap
agreements, options, futures, contracts, forward rate agreements or similar
financial instruments. Except to the extent provided by Treasury Regulations,
any income from a hedging transaction (i)&nbsp;entered into on or after January&nbsp;1,
2005, and made in the normal course of business primarily to manage risk of
interest rate or price changes or currency fluctuations with respect to borrowings
made or to be made, or ordinary obligations incurred or to be incurred by the
Operating Partnership to acquire or own real estate assets will not constitute
gross income for purposes of the 95% gross income test or (ii)&nbsp;entered
into after July&nbsp;30, 2008, primarily to manage the risk of interest rate or
price changes or currency fluctuations with respect to any item of income or
gain that would be qualifying income under the 75% or 95% gross income tests
(or any property which generates such income or gain), which is clearly
identified as such before the close of the day on which it was acquired,
originated or entered into, including gain from the disposition of such a
transaction, will not constitute gross income for both of the 95% gross income
test and the 75% gross income test. To the extent the Operating Partnership
enters into other types of hedging transactions, the income from those
transactions is likely to be treated as non-qualifying income for purposes of
both the 75% and 95% gross income tests. The Operating Partnership intends to
structure any hedging transactions in a manner that does not jeopardize our
qualification as a REIT.</font></p>

the Operating Partnership&#146;s interests in overseas real estate it also
recognizes income from foreign currency gain. Income from foreign currency gain
recognized by the Operating Partnership with respect to any item of income paid

to the nature and diversification of our assets. First, at least 75% of the
value of our total assets must be represented by real estate assets, including
stock of other REITs, cash, cash items and government securities. For purposes
of this test, real estate assets include stock or debt instruments that are
purchased with the proceeds of a stock offering or a long-term (at least five
years) public debt offering, but only for the one-year period beginning on the
date we receive such proceeds. Second, not more than 25% of our total assets
may be represented by securities, other than those securities includable in the
75% asset test. Third, not more than 20% (25% for taxable years commencing
after December&nbsp;31, 2008) of the value of our total assets may be
represented by securities of one or more taxable REIT subsidiaries, and except
with respect to taxable REIT subsidiaries and qualified REIT subsidiaries, of
the investments included in the 25% asset class, the value of any one issuer&#146;s
securities may not exceed 5% of the value of our total assets, and we may not
own more than 10% of any one issuer&#146;s outstanding voting securities or more
than 10% of the total value of any one issuer&#146;s outstanding securities other
than certain securities qualifying as &#147;straight debt&#148; and other excluded
securities, as described in the Internal Revenue Code, including, but not
limited to, any loan to an individual or an estate, any obligation to pay rents
from real property and any security issued by a REIT. Additionally, (i)&nbsp;our
interest as a partner in a partnership is not considered a security for
purposes of applying the 10% value test; (ii)&nbsp;any debt instrument issued
by a partnership (other than straight debt or other excluded security) will not
be considered a security issued by the partnership if at least 75% of the
partnership&#146;s gross income is derived from sources that would qualify for the
75% REIT gross income test, and (iii)&nbsp;any debt instrument issued by a
partnership (other than straight debt or other excluded security) will not be
considered a security issued by the partnership to the extent of our interest
as a partner in the partnership.</font></p>

initially meeting the asset tests at the close of any quarter, we will not lose
our status as a REIT for failure to satisfy the asset tests at the end of a
later quarter solely by reason of changes in asset values. If we fail to
satisfy the asset tests because we acquire securities or other property during
a quarter, including an increase in our interests in assets held, directly or
indirectly, by the Operating Partnership, we can cure this failure by disposing
of sufficient non-qualifying assets within 30&nbsp;days after the close of that
quarter. We believe we have maintained and will continue to maintain adequate
records of the value of our assets to ensure compliance with the asset tests
and to take such other actions within the 30&nbsp;days after the close of any

However, from time to time, we may not have sufficient cash or other liquid

between the actual receipt of income and actual payment of deductible expenses,

long-term, borrowings or need to pay dividends in the form of taxable stock

directly or through its subsidiary partnerships, will be treated as income from
a prohibited transaction that is subject to a 100% penalty tax. This prohibited
transaction income may also adversely affect our ability to satisfy the income
tests for qualification as a REIT. Under existing law, whether property is held
as inventory or primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a
trade or business is a question of fact that depends on all the facts and
circumstances surrounding the particular transaction. However, the Internal
Revenue Code provides a safe harbor pursuant to which limited sales of
properties held at least four years and meeting certain additional requirements
will not be treated as prohibited transactions. In the case of sales made after
July&nbsp;30, 2008, the required holding period has been reduced to two years,
and one of the other requirements has been modified in a manner that may permit
us to qualify more sales under the safe harbor provisions. Nevertheless,
compliance with the safe harbor is not always practical. We intend to hold
properties for investment with a view to long-term appreciation, to engage in
the business of acquiring, developing and owning properties and to make
occasional sales of the properties as are consistent with our investment
objectives. However, the IRS may successfully contend that some or all of the
sales the Operating Partnership or its subsidiaries make are prohibited
transactions. We would be subject to the 100% penalty tax on our allocable
share of the gains resulting from any such sales.</font></p>

their proportionate shares of the items of income, gain, loss, deduction and
credit of a partnership, and are potentially subject to tax thereon, without
regard to whether the partners receive a distribution from the partnership. We
include in our income our proportionate share of the foregoing partnership
items for purposes of the various REIT income tests and in the computation of

in partnerships, including joint ventures, involve special tax considerations,
including the possibility of a challenge by the IRS of the status of a
partnership as a partnership as opposed to an association taxable as a
corporation for federal income tax purposes. If a partnership were treated as
an association, it would be taxable as a corporation and therefore be subject
to an entity-level tax on its income. In such a situation, the character of our
assets and items of gross income would change and preclude us from satisfying
the asset tests and possibly the income tests. See &#147;&#151;Taxation as a REIT&#151;Asset
tests&#148; and &#147;&#151;Taxation as a REIT&#151;Income tests&#148;. This, in turn, would prevent us
from qualifying as a REIT. See &#147;&#151;Taxation as a REIT&#151;Failure to qualify&#148; for a
discussion of the effect of a failure to meet these tests for a taxable year.
In addition, a change in a partnership&#146;s status for tax purposes might be
treated as a taxable event. If so, we might incur a tax liability without any
related cash distributions.</font></p>

a corporation and which has at least two members will be taxed as a partnership
for federal income tax purposes unless it elects to be treated as a

a classification, prior to January&nbsp;1, 1997, will be classified as a
partnership for federal income tax purposes unless it elects otherwise. The
Operating Partnership and each of its subsidiary partnerships have claimed
classification as a partnership, and, as a result, we believe such partnerships

prospectus may contain or incorporate forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section&nbsp;27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section&nbsp;21E
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. You can identify these forward-looking
statements by our use of the words &#147;believes,&#148; &#147;anticipates,&#148; &#147;plans,&#148; &#147;expects,&#148;
&#147;may,&#148; &#147;will,&#148; &#147;intends,&#148; &#147;estimates&#148; and similar expressions, whether in the
negative or affirmative. Although we believe the expectations reflected in any
forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, we can give no
assurance that our expectations will be attained, and it is possible that our
actual results may differ materially from those indicated by these forward-looking
statements due to a variety of risks and uncertainties. Those risks and
uncertainties incidental to the ownership and operation of commercial real
estate include, but are not limited to: national, international, regional and
local economic climates, competitive market forces, changes in market rental
rates, trends in the retail industry, the inability to collect rent due to the
bankruptcy or insolvency of tenants or otherwise, risks associated with
acquisitions, the impact of terrorist activities, environmental liabilities,
maintenance of REIT status, the availability of financing, changes in market
rates of interest, and exchange rates for foreign currencies. We have included
important factors in the cautionary statements contained or incorporated in
this prospectus, particularly under the heading &#147;Risk Factors&#148; in our Annual
Report on Form&nbsp;10-K and other periodic reports, that we believe could
cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking
statements that we make. We do not intend to update information contained in
any forward-looking statement we make.</font></p>
