Acquisitions and Dispositions | Acquisitions and Dispositions Asset Acquisitions During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company acquired several Sears and Macy's stores, which include land, buildings and improvements, for future redevelopment at the related malls. These transactions are accounted for as asset acquisitions in accordance with ASU 2017-01. In January 2017, the Company purchased five Sears department stores and two Sears Auto Centers for $72,765 in cash, which includes $265 of capitalized transaction costs. Sears will continue to operate the department stores under new ten-year leases for which the Company will receive an aggregate initial annual base rent of $5,075. Annual base rent will be reduced by 0.25% for the third through tenth years of the leases. Sears will be responsible for paying CAM charges, taxes, insurance and utilities under the terms of the leases. The Company has the right to terminate each Sears lease at any time (except November 15 through January 15), with six month's advance notice. With six month's advance notice, Sears has the right to terminate one lease after a four-year period and may terminate the four other leases after a two-year period. The leases on the Sears Auto Centers may be terminated by Sears after one year, with six month's advance notice. The Company also acquired four Macy's stores in January 2017 for $7,034 in cash, which includes $34 of capitalized transaction costs. Three of these locations closed in March 2017. The Company entered into a lease with Macy's at the fourth store under which Macy's will continue to operate the store through March 2019 for annual base rent and fixed common area maintenance charges of $19 per year, subject to certain operating covenants. If Macy's ceases to operate at this location, the Company will be reimbursed for the pro rata portion of the amount paid for the operating covenant based on the remaining lease term.
