[1] | Impairments resulted from the Company currently being in advanced negotiations to sell 27 operating properties within its Mexico portfolio. Based upon the allocation of the estimated selling prices, the Company determined that for 14 of these properties the estimated fair values are below the current carrying value. As such, the Company has recorded impairment charges of $76.7 million, after noncontrolling interests of $3.1 million ($66.9 million of which relates to eight consolidated properties and $12.9 million relates to six properties within the Company's joint venture investments). These impairments resulted from the Company's efforts to market certain assets within the Company's Latin American portfolio and management's assessment as to the likelihood and timing of such potential transactions. The above amounts are subject to change based upon finalization of contract terms, closing costs, additional cash amounts received as earn outs and fluctuations in the Mexican Peso exchange rate (see Footnote 17).
[2] | Impairments are based upon purchase prices or purchase price offers. These impairments resulted from the Company's efforts to market certain assets and management's assessment as to the likelihood and timing of such potential transactions.
[3] | The Company reviewed the underlying cause of the decline in value of this asset, as well as the severity and the duration of the decline and determined that the decline was other-than-temporary. Based upon the calculation of an estimated fair value of $5.0 million using a discounted cash flow model (see Footnote 12) impairment charges were recognized.
[4] | Based upon a review of the debt maturity status and the likelihood of foreclosure of the underlying property within this preferred equity investment, the Company believes it will not recover its investment and as such recorded a full impairment of its investment.
