Item 8.01 | Other Events.

CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. (the "Company") is updating its consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 to reflect the application of the requirements of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements - Discontinued Operations.
In March 2013, the Company sold three office buildings. In conjunction with these sales, the results of operations of these properties have been reclassified to discontinued operations for each period presented in the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed during 2013, in accordance with ASC 205-20. The same reclassification is required for previously issued financial statements for each of the three years shown in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K if those financial statements are incorporated by reference in subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission made under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, even though those financial statements relate to periods prior to the sales.
This reclassification has no effect on the Company's reported net income attributable to common shareholders. This Form 8-K updates Items 6, 7, 8, 9A, 15(a)(1) and (2) and 15(c) of the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 to reflect the aforementioned properties as discontinued operations. The foregoing items are attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report. All other items of the Form 10-K remain unchanged. No attempt has been made to update matters in the Form 10-K except to the extent expressly provided above. For more recent information regarding the Company, see the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and other reports and information filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
