Future events and actual results, performance, transactions or achievements, financial or otherwise, may differ materially from the results, performance, transactions or achievements, financial or otherwise, expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.
Risks, uncertainties and other factors that might cause such differences, some of which could be material, include but are not limited to: risks associated with the adverse effect of the ongoing pandemic of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”), including possible resurgences, variants, and mutations, on the financial condition, result of operations, cash flows and performance of the Company and its tenants, the real estate market and the global economy and financial markets; risks associated with the Company’s merger with Retail Properties of America, Inc.
