Collaborative Arrangement:

On March 1, 2018, the Company formed a 25/75 joint venture with a third party, whereby the Company agreed to contribute Westside Pavilion, a 755,000 square foot regional shopping center in Los Angeles, California in exchange for a cash payment of $142,500. The Company expects to complete the transfer during the next twelve months. Both partners share operating control of the property and the Company will be reimbursed by the outside partner for 75% of the carrying cost of the property, which are defined in the agreement as operating expenses in excess of revenues, debt service and capital expenditures.

Since March 1, 2018, the Company has accounted for the operations of Westside Pavilion as a collaborative arrangement. Accordingly, the Company has reduced minimum rents, percentage rents, tenant recoveries, other revenue, shopping center and operating expenses and interest expense by its partner's 75% share and recorded a receivable due from its partner, which will be settled upon completion of the transfer of the property. The Company's partner's reimbursable 75% share of mortgage loan principal payments and capital expenditures are recorded as a receivable and a deferred gain that will be recognized when the transfer is completed.

Additionally, the Company has classified the long-lived assets of Westside Pavilion as held for sale on its consolidated balance sheet as of March 1, 2018 and has ceased the recognition of depreciation and amortization expense.
