CBL is the 100% owner of two qualified REIT subsidiaries, CBL Holdings I, Inc. and CBL Holdings II, Inc.

Historically, the noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership has been held by CBL & Associates, Inc., its shareholders and affiliates and certain senior officers of the Company (collectively "CBL's Predecessor"), all of which contributed their interests in certain real estate properties and joint ventures to the Operating Partnership in exchange for a limited partner interest when the Operating Partnership was formed in November 1993, and by various third parties. In March 2020, the Company issued 16,333,947 shares of the Company’s common stock to CBL’s Predecessor in exchange for a like number of common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership pursuant to exchange notices received from CBL’s Predecessor. Additionally, in July and August 2020, the Company issued 1,783,403 shares of the Company’s common stock to CBL’s Predecessor in exchange for a like number of common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership pursuant to exchange notices received from CBL’s Predecessor. At September 30, 2020, CBL’s Predecessor no longer owned any limited partner interest and third parties owned a 2.9% limited partner interest in the Operating Partnership. CBL's Predecessor owned 20.1 million shares of CBL’s common stock at September 30, 2020, for a total effective interest of 10.0% in the Operating Partnership.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited; however, they have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring matters) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements for these interim periods have been included. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The results for the interim period ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for the full fiscal year.

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and likely will continue to have, repercussions across local, national and global economies and financial markets. COVID-19 has impacted all states where the Company’s tenants operate their businesses or where the Company’s properties are located and measures taken to prevent or remediate COVID-19, including “shelter-in place” or “stay-at-home” orders or other quarantine mandates issued by local, state or federal authorities, have had an adverse effect on its business and the businesses of its tenants. The full extent of the adverse impact on, among other things, the Company’s results of operations, liquidity (including its ability to access capital markets), the possibility of future impairments of long-lived assets or its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, its compliance with debt covenants, its ability to renew and re-lease its leased space, the outlook for the retail environment, potential bankruptcies or other store closings and its ability to develop, acquire, dispose or lease properties, is unknown and will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. The Company has experienced, and expects to continue to experience, a material adverse impact on its revenues, results of operations, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2020. The situation is rapidly changing and additional impacts to the business may arise that the Company is not aware of currently.

On November 2, 2020, the NYSE announced that (i) it had suspended trading in the Company’s stock and (ii) it had determined to commence proceedings to delist the Company’s common stock, as well as the depositary shares each representing a 1/10th fractional share of the Company’s 7.375% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Series D Preferred Stock”) and the depositary shares each representing a 1/10th fractional share of the Company’s 6.625% Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Series E Preferred Stock”), due to such securities no longer being suitable for listing based on “abnormally low” trading price levels, pursuant to Section 802.01D of the NYSE Listed Company Manual. The Company intends to appeal this decision in accordance with NYSE rules. In the meantime, effective November 3, 2020, the Company’s common stock and the depositary shares representing fractional interests in its Series D Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock began trading on the OTC Markets, operated by the OTC Markets Group, Inc., under the symbols “CBLAQ”, “CBLDQ” and “CBLEQ”, respectively. A delisting of the Company’s common stock from the NYSE could negatively impact it by, among other things, reducing the trading liquidity of, and the market price for, its common stock.

In accordance with the accounting guidance related to the presentation of financial statements, when preparing financial statements for each annual and interim reporting period, management evaluates whether there are conditions or events that, when considered in the aggregate, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. In making its assessment, management considered the Company’s current financial condition and liquidity sources, as well as the status of the Chapter 11 Cases.

The Operating Partnership received notices of default and reservation of rights letters from the administrative agent under the secured credit facility asserting that certain defaults and events of default, as applicable, have occurred and continue to exist as of the date of this report by reason of the Operating Partnership’s failure to comply with certain restrictive covenants under the secured credit facility. As a result of these asserted defaults and events of default, the lenders under the secured credit facility declared all outstanding principal, accrued interest and letters of credit to be immediately due and payable. Subsequent to the lenders accelerating the outstanding balances under the secured credit facility, other events occurred that each constitute an event of default under the secured credit facility, including (i) the Operating Partnership failed to meet the minimum debt yield covenant under the secured credit facility as of September 30, 2020, (ii) the NYSE suspension of trading in the Company’s common stock and commencement of proceedings to delist the Company’s common stock and depositary shares representing fractional interests in each of its series of preferred stock and (iii) CBL and the Operating Partnership, together with certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”) commenced the filing of voluntary petitions (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) under chapter 11 of title 11 (“Chapter 11”) of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”). Additionally, the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases constituted an event of default that

results in the automatic acceleration of all outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest, and letters of credit to be immediately due and payable with respect to the secured credit facility and the senior unsecured notes. The filing of the Chapter 11 Cases also constituted an event of default with respect to certain property-level debt of the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries, which may result in automatic acceleration of the outstanding principal and accrued interest or may give the applicable lender the right to accelerate such amounts.

Given the acceleration of the senior secured credit facility, the senior unsecured notes and certain property-level debt, as well as the inherent risks, unknown results and inherent uncertainties associated with the bankruptcy process and the direct correlation between these matters and our ability to satisfy our financial obligations that may arise, the Company believes that there is substantial doubt that it will continue to operate as a going concern within one year after the date these condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments related to the recoverability of assets and satisfaction of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

As described in Note 8 – Mortgage and Other Indebtedness, Net, the Operating Partnership received notices of default and reservation of rights letters from the administrative agent under the secured credit facility asserting that certain defaults and events of default, as applicable, have occurred and continue to exist as of the date of this report by reason of the Operating Partnership’s failure to comply with certain restrictive covenants under the secured credit facility. As a result of these asserted defaults and events of default, the lenders under the secured credit facility declared all outstanding principal, accrued interest and letters of credit to be immediately due and payable.

On August 18, 2020, the Company entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement, as amended, (the “RSA”) with certain beneficial owners and/or investment advisors or managers of discretionary funds, accounts or other entities for the holders of beneficial owners (the “Consenting Noteholders”) representing in excess of 62%, including joining noteholders pursuant to joinder agreements, of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes. The terms of the RSA provide for a comprehensive restructuring of the Company’s capital structure to be implemented through a chapter 11 plan of reorganization (the “Plan”) to be filed in the Chapter 11 Cases. The Plan would eliminate the $1,375,000 principal amount of the Notes in exchange for the issuance of $500,000 of new first-priority senior secured notes due June 2028, approximately $50,000 of cash and approximately 90% of the new common equity of the Company to holders of the Notes. As a result, the Plan, if implemented, will result in the elimination of approximately $900,000 of debt, extension of the Company’s debt maturity schedule and a reduction in annual interest expense of more than $20,000. The Plan also contemplates eliminating the Company’s $626,250 obligation on its preferred stock in exchange for new common equity, warrants and up to $5,000 in cash, at the Company’s election.

On October 28, 2020, the Operating Partnership was notified by the administrative agent and lenders that they elected to exercise their rights pursuant to the terms of the secured credit facility to (i) require that rents payable by tenants at the properties that are collateral to the secured credit facility be paid directly to the administrative agent and (ii) exercise all voting rights and other ownership rights in respect of all the equity interests in the subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership that are guarantors of the secured credit facility.

Beginning on November 1, 2020 (the “Commencement Date”), the Debtors commenced the Chapter 11 Cases by filing voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Debtors are authorized to continue to operate their businesses and manage their properties as debtors in possession pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors’ Chapter 11 Cases are being jointly administered for procedural purposes only under the caption In re CBL & Associates Properties, Inc., et al., Case No. 20-35226.

The filing of the Chapter 11 Cases constituted an event of default that results in the automatic acceleration of all outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest, and letters of credit to be immediately due and payable with respect to the secured credit facility and the senior unsecured notes. On November 2, 2020, the Company filed an adversary proceeding in the Bankruptcy Court seeking among other things, a temporary restraining order (the “Order”) and for a preliminary injunction to enjoin, pending a determination of the parties’ rights, the administrative agent or any of its officers, agents, servants, attorneys and successors from taking any action to exercise any and all remedies under the terms of the secured credit facility or other agreements as a result of the events of default asserted by the administrative agent, or any other right or remedy that would otherwise accompany the occurrence of an event of default, including without limitation, any rights of acceleration under the terms of the secured credit facility, rights flowing from the notice of acceleration, rights exercised pursuant to the Notice of Exercise or any other rights or remedies properly exercisable solely upon an actual or determined event of default. On November 2, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court granted the Order and the Company and the administrative agent are negotiating the terms of a standstill pending further determination by the Bankruptcy Court.

Following the Commencement Date, the Bankruptcy Court entered certain interim and final orders facilitating the Debtors’ operational transition into Chapter 11. These orders authorized the Debtors to, among other things, pay certain prepetition employee expenses and benefits, use their existing cash management system, maintain and administer customer programs, pay certain critical service providers, honor insurance-related obligations, and pay certain prepetition taxes and related fees on a final basis.

The filing of the Chapter 11 Cases also constituted an event of default with respect to certain property-level debt of the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries, which may result in automatic acceleration of the outstanding principal and accrued interest or may give the applicable lender the right to accelerate such amounts.

In particular, subject to certain exceptions, under the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors may assume, assume and assign or reject executory contracts and unexpired leases subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court and certain other conditions. Generally, the rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease is treated as a prepetition breach of such executory contract or unexpired lease and, subject to certain exceptions, relieves the Debtors of performing their future obligations under such executory contract or unexpired lease but entitles the contract counterparty or lessor to a prepetition general unsecured claim for damages caused by such deemed breach subject, in the case of the rejection of unexpired leases of real property, to certain caps on damages. Counterparties to such rejected contracts or leases may assert unsecured claims in the Bankruptcy Court against the applicable Debtor’s estate for such damages. Generally, the assumption or assumption and assignment of an executory contract or unexpired lease requires the Debtors to cure existing monetary defaults under such executory contract or unexpired lease and provide adequate assurance of future performance thereunder. Accordingly, any description of an executory contract or unexpired lease with the Debtors in this quarterly report, including where applicable a quantification of the Company’s obligations under any such executory contract or unexpired lease with the Debtors is qualified by any overriding rights the Company has under the Bankruptcy Code. Further, nothing herein is or shall be deemed an admission with respect to any claim amounts or calculations arising from the assumption, assumption and assignment, or rejection of any executory contract or unexpired lease and the Debtors expressly preserve all of their rights with respect thereto.
