The Company’s joint venture agreements generally include provisions whereby each partner has the right to trigger a purchase or sale of its interest in the joint venture (Reciprocal Purchase Rights) or to initiate a purchase or sale of the properties (Property Purchase Rights) after a certain number of years or if either party is in default of the joint venture agreements. The Company is not obligated to purchase the interests of its outside joint venture partners under these provisions. Coventry II Fund Coventry Real Estate Advisors L.L.C. (“CREA”) formed Coventry Real Estate Fund II, L.L.C. and Coventry Fund II Parallel Fund, L.L.C. (collectively, the “Coventry II Fund”). The Coventry II Fund was formed with several institutional investors and CREA as the investment manager. The Company and the Coventry II Fund entered into various joint ventures to invest in a variety of retail properties that presented opportunities for value creation. In March 2015, the Company, CREA and the Coventry II Fund finalized a settlement agreement in which the Company acquired Coventry II Fund’s 80% interest in Buena Park Place in Orange County, California (Note 3) and the Company transferred to Coventry II Fund its 20% ownership interest in 21 of the remaining 22 assets of the Coventry II Fund investments. The Company accounted for this transaction as a step acquisition and as a result, recorded a Gain on Change in Control of $14.3 million related to the difference between the carrying value of its equity investment and the fair value of the asset acquired. See discussion of legal matters regarding the Coventry II Fund (Note 9).
