Sears and Macy's stores

In January 2017, the Company acquired several Sears and Macy's stores, which included land, buildings and improvements, for future redevelopment at the related malls.

The Company purchased five Sears department stores and two Sears Auto Centers for $ 72,765 in cash, which included $ 265 of capitalized transaction costs. Sears continued to operate the department stores in 2017 under new ten-year leases for which the Company received aggregate annual base rent of $ 5,075. Annual base rent was to be reduced by 0.25% for the third through tenth years of the leases. Sears was responsible for paying CAM charges, taxes, insurance and utilities under the terms of the leases. The Company had the right to terminate each Sears lease at any time (except November 15 through January 15, in any given year), with six month's advance notice. With six month's advance notice, Sears had the right to terminate one lease after a four -year period and could terminate the four other leases after a two -year period.

Of the five sale leasebacks described above, one of these locations closed in 2018. The Company terminated the Sears lease and redeveloped the former Sears store at Brookfield Square in 2018. The redevelopment opened in October 2019. Four other Sears stores closed in 2019. The Company commenced construction on the redevelopment of the former Sears at Hamilton Place in 2019 with an anticipated opening date in spring 2020. Construction is expected to begin on the redevelopment of the former Sears at Cross Creek Mall in 2020, with an opening anticipated in 2021. The Company is in the planning stages for the redevelopment of the remaining locations. The leases on the Sears Auto Centers were terminated by the Company, in accordance with the terms of the Company's agreement with Sears, and the Company has completed redevelopment of both locations.

The Company also acquired four Macy's stores in 2017 for $ 7,034 in cash, which included $ 34 of capitalized transaction costs. Three of these locations closed in March 2017, with two having redevelopments completed in 2019. The

title to the property of one of these locations was transferred to the mortgage holder in satisfaction of the non-recourse debt secured by the property. The remaining location is in the planning stages of redevelopment.
