PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Background

CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. (“CBL”) was organized on July 13, 1993, as a Delaware corporation, to acquire substantially all of the real estate properties owned by CBL & Associates, Inc., and its affiliates (“CBL’s Predecessor”), which was formed by Charles B. Lebovitz in 1978. On November 3, 1993, CBL completed an initial public offering (the “Offering”). Simultaneous with the completion of the Offering, CBL’s Predecessor transferred substantially all of its interests in its real estate properties to CBL & Associates Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”) in exchange for common units of limited partner interest in the Operating Partnership. The interests in the Operating Partnership contain certain conversion rights that are more fully described in Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements. The terms “we”, “us”, “our” and the “Company” refer to CBL and its subsidiaries.

The Company’s Business

We are a self-managed, self-administered, fully integrated real estate investment trust (“REIT”). We own, develop, acquire, lease, manage, and operate regional shopping malls, open-air centers, community centers and office properties. Our properties are located in 26 states, but are primarily in the southeastern and midwestern United States. We have elected to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.

We conduct substantially all of our business through the Operating Partnership. We are the 100% owner of two qualified REIT subsidiaries, CBL Holdings I, Inc. and CBL Holdings II, Inc. CBL Holdings I, Inc. is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. At December 31, 2011 , CBL Holdings I, Inc. owned a 1.0% general partner interest and CBL Holdings II, Inc. owned a 76.9% limited partner interest in the Operating Partnership, for a combined interest held by us of 77.9% .

Table of Contents

As of December 31, 2011 , we owned:

▪

controlling interests in 74 regional malls/open-air centers and noncontrolling interests in ten regional malls (the “Malls”), controlling interests in 29 associated centers and noncontrolling interests in three associated centers (the “Associated Centers”), controlling interests in eight community centers and noncontrolling interests in five community centers (the “Community Centers”), and controlling interests in 13 office buildings which include our corporate office building and noncontrolling interests in six office buildings (the “Office Buildings”);


▪	an interest in two community center expansions and two mall redevelopments that are currently under construction (the “Construction Properties”), as well as options to acquire certain shopping center development sites; and


▪	mortgages on seven properties, each of which is collateralized by either a first mortgage, a second mortgage or by assignment of 100% of the ownership interests in the underlying real estate and related improvements (the “Mortgages”).

The Malls, Associated Centers, Community Centers, Office Buildings, Construction Properties and Mortgages are collectively referred to as the “Properties” and individually as a “Property.”

We conduct our property management and development activities through CBL & Associates Management, Inc. (the “Management Company”) to comply with certain requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Operating Partnership owns 100% of the Management Company’s outstanding preferred stock and common stock.

The Management Company manages all but ten of the Properties. Governor’s Square and Governor’s Plaza in Clarksville, TN and Kentucky Oaks Mall in Paducah, KY are all owned by unconsolidated joint ventures and are managed by a property manager that is affiliated with the third party managing general partner, which receives a fee for its services. The managing general partner of each of these Properties controls the cash flow distributions, although our approval is required for certain major decisions. The Outlet Shoppes at Oklahoma City in Oklahoma City, OK, is owned by a consolidated joint venture and is managed by a property manager that is affiliated with the third party partner, which receives a fee for its services. In addition, we have contracted with a third-party firm that provides property management services to oversee the operations of our six office buildings located in Chesapeake, VA and Newport News, VA. The firm receives a fee for its services.

Revenues are primarily derived from leases with retail tenants and generally include fixed minimum rents, percentage rents based on tenants’ sales volumes and reimbursements from tenants for expenditures related to real estate taxes, insurance, common area maintenance and other recoverable operating expenses, as well as certain capital expenditures. We also generate revenues from management, leasing and development fees, advertising, sponsorships, sales of peripheral land at the Properties and from sales of operating real estate assets when it is determined that we can realize a premium value for the assets. Proceeds from such sales are generally used to retire related indebtedness or reduce borrowings on our credit facilities.

The following terms used in this Annual Report on Form 10-K will have the meanings described below:


▪	GLA – refers to gross leasable area of retail space in square feet, including anchors and mall tenants.


▪	Anchor – refers to a department store or other large retail store.


▪	Freestanding – property locations that are not attached to the primary complex of buildings that comprise the mall shopping center.


▪	Outparcel – land used for freestanding developments, such as retail stores, banks and restaurants, which are generally on the periphery of the Properties.

Growth Strategy

Our objective is to achieve growth in funds from operations (see page 65 for a discussion of funds from operations) by maximizing cash flows through a variety of methods as further discussed below.

Leasing, Management and Marketing

Our objective is to maximize cash flows from our existing Properties through:


▪	aggressive leasing that seeks to increase occupancy and facilitate an optimal merchandise mix,


▪	originating and renewing leases at higher gross rents per square foot compared to the previous lease,


▪	merchandising, marketing, sponsorship and promotional activities and


▪	actively controlling operating costs and resulting tenant occupancy costs.

Redevelopments and Renovations

Redevelopments represent situations where we capitalize on opportunities to add incremental square footage or increase the productivity of previously occupied space through aesthetic upgrades, retenanting and/or changing the retail use of the space. Many times, redevelopments result from acquiring possession of anchor space and subdividing it into multiple spaces. The following presents the redevelopments we completed during 2011 and those under construction at December 31, 2011 :



Property	Location	Total Project Square Feet	Opening Date
Completed in 2011:
Layton Hills Mall - Dick's Sporting Goods	Layton, UT	126,060	September 2011
Stroud Mall - Cinemark Theatre	Stroudsburg, PA	44,979	November 2011
		171,039
Currently under construction:
Foothills Mall/Plaza - Carmike Cinema	Maryville, TN	45,276	Spring 2012
Monroeville Mall - JC Penney/Cinemark Theatre	Pittsburgh, PA	464,792	Fall 2012/ Winter 2013
		510,068

Renovations usually include renovating existing facades, uniform signage, new entrances and floor coverings, updating interior décor, resurfacing parking lots and improving the lighting of interiors and parking lots. Renovations can result in attracting new retailers, increased rental rates, sales and occupancy levels and maintaining the Property's market dominance. During 2011, we completed renovations on four of our malls including Burnsville Center in Burnsville, MN; Hamilton Place Mall in Chattanooga, TN; Oak Park Mall in Kansas City, KS and RiverGate Mall in Nashville, TN. Renovations are scheduled to be completed at Cross Creek Mall in Fayetteville, NC; Post Oak Mall in College Station, TX; Turtle Creek Mall in Hattiesburg, MS and Mall del Norte in Laredo, TX by the end of 2012.

Our total investment in the redevelopment and renovation projects completed in 2011 was $37.8 million. Our total investment upon completion of redevelopment projects that are under construction as of December 31, 2011 is projected to be $34.5 million. The total investment in the renovations that are scheduled for 2012 is projected to be $41.4 million.

Development of New Retail Properties and Expansions

In general, we seek development opportunities in middle-market trade areas that we believe are under-served by existing retail operations. These middle-markets must also have sufficient demographics to provide the opportunity to effectively maintain a competitive position. The following presents the new Property that was completed during 2011 and those under construction at December 31, 2011 :

Table of Contents



Property	Location	Total Project Square Feet	Opening Date
Completed in 2011:
The Outlet Shoppes at Oklahoma City	Oklahoma City, OK	324,565	August 2011

Currently under construction:
Waynesville Commons	Waynesville, NC	127,585	Fall 2012

We can also generate additional revenues by expanding a Property through the addition of department stores, mall stores and large retail formats. An expansion also protects the Property's competitive position within its market. The following presents the expansions that were completed during 2011 and those under construction at December 31, 2011 :



Property	Location	Total Project Square Feet	Opening Date
Completed in 2011:
Alamance West	Burlington, NC	236,438	October 2011
Settlers Ridge (Phase II)	Robinson Township, PA	86,144	August 2011
		322,582

Currently under construction:
The Forum at Grandview (Phase II)	Madison, MS	83,060	Summer 2012

Our total investment in the new Property and the expansions that opened in 2011 was $101.1 million and our total investment in those under construction as of December 31, 2011 is projected to be $26.8 million.

Environmental Matters

A discussion of the current effects and potential future impacts on our business and Properties of compliance with federal, state and local environmental regulations is presented in Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K under the subheading “Risks Related to Real Estate Investments.”

Competition

The Properties compete with various shopping facilities in attracting retailers to lease space. In addition, retailers at our Properties face competition from discount shopping centers, outlet malls, wholesale clubs, direct mail, television shopping networks, the internet and other retail shopping developments. The extent of the retail competition varies from market to market. We work aggressively to attract customers through marketing promotions and campaigns.

Seasonality

The shopping center business is, to some extent, seasonal in nature with tenants typically achieving the highest levels of sales during the fourth quarter due to the holiday season, which generally results in higher percentage rent income in the fourth quarter. Additionally, the Malls earn most of their “temporary” rents (rents from short-term tenants) during the holiday period. Thus, occupancy levels and revenue production are generally the highest in the fourth quarter of each year. Results of operations realized in any one quarter may not be indicative of the results likely to be experienced over the course of our fiscal year.

Recent Developments

Investments in Joint Ventures

In October 2011, we closed on a $1.09 billion joint venture with TIAA-CREF in which TIAA-CREF received a 50% pari passu interest in each of Oak Park Mall in Kansas City, KS; West County Center in St. Louis, MO; and CoolSprings Galleria in Nashville, TN. TIAA-CREF also received a 12% interest in Pearland Town Center in Pearland, TX. As part of the joint venture agreement, TIAA-CREF assumed approximately $266.8 million of property-specific debt. Net proceeds of approximately $204.2 million from the transaction were used to pay down our lines of credit. We will continue to manage and lease the Properties.

Table of Contents

Impairment Losses

During the fourth quarter of 2011, we classified Oak Hollow Square in High Point, NC as held for sale and recorded a non-cash impairment of real estate of $0.7 million to write down the book value of the Property to the expected net sales price. The loss on impairment for this Property is recorded in discontinued operations. This Property was sold subsequent to December 31, 2011. See Note 20 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.

During the third quarter of 2011, we recorded a non-cash impairment of real estate of $51.3 million which consisted of $50.7 million related to Columbia Place in Columbia, SC, and $0.6 million related to a loss on the sale of a land parcel. Columbia Place experienced declining cash flows as a result of changes in property-specific market conditions, which were further exacerbated by the recent economic conditions that negatively impacted leasing activity and occupancy.

During the second quarter of 2011, we recorded a non-cash impairment of real estate of $4.5 million related to the second phase of Settlers Ridge in Robinson Township, PA, which was under construction. The Property is expected to be sold upon completion and stabilization and the loss was recorded to write down the book value of the Property to its estimated fair value.

Acquisitions

In September 2011, we purchased Northgate Mall in Chattanooga, TN for a total cash purchase price of $11.5 million plus $0.7 million of transaction costs.

Dispositions

In February 2011, we completed the sale of Oak Hollow Mall in High Point, NC for a gross sales price of $9.0 million. Net proceeds from the sale were used to retire the outstanding principal balance and accrued interest of $40.3 million on the non-recourse loan secured by the property in accordance with the lender's agreement to modify the outstanding principal balance and accrued interest to equal the net sales price for the Property. We recorded a gain on the extinguishment of debt of $31.4 million in the first quarter of 2011. We also recorded a loss on impairment of real estate in the first quarter of 2011 of $2.7 million to write down the book value of the Property to the net sales price.

In November 2011, we completed the sale of Westridge Square in Greensboro, NC for a gross sales price of $26.1 million less commissions and customary closing costs for a net sales price of $25.8 million . We recognized a loss of $0.2 million attributable to the sale. Net proceeds from the sale were used to reduce the borrowings on the unsecured term loan that was obtained for the exclusive purpose of acquiring this Property and other Properties from the Starmount Company or its affiliates.

Subsequent to December 31, 2011, we completed the sale of Oak Hollow Square in High Point, NC. Net proceeds from the sale were used to reduce the borrowings on the unsecured term loan that was obtained for the exclusive purpose of acquiring this Property and other Properties from the Starmount Company or its affiliates.

Results of operations of Oak Hollow Mall, Westridge Square, and Oak Hollow Square have been reclassified to discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Financings

In December 2011, we closed on a $140.0 million ten-year non-recourse mortgage loan secured by Cross Creek Mall in Fayetteville, NC, which bears a fixed interest rate of 4.54%. We also closed on a $60.0 million ten-year non-recourse CMBS loan with a fixed interest rate of 5.73% secured by The Outlet Shoppes at Oklahoma City in Oklahoma City, OK. The borrowing amount on a non-recourse loan secured by St. Clair Square in Fairview Heights, IL was increased from $69.4 million to $125.0 million and extended for a five-year period from December 2011 to December 2016, with a reduction in the interest rate to LIBOR plus 300 basis points. Additionally, we closed a $58.0 million recourse mortgage loan secured by The Promenade in D'lberville, MS with a three-year initial term and two two-year extensions. The loan bears interest of 75% of LIBOR plus 175 basis points.

During the fourth quarter of 2011, we exercised our option to extend the unsecured term loan that was obtained for the exclusive purpose of acquiring certain properties from the Starmount Company or its affiliates. The loan's maturity date was extended to November 2012 at its existing interest rate of LIBOR plus a margin of 0.95% to 1.40% based on our leverage ratio, as defined in the loan agreement. Outstanding borrowings under this loan were $181.6 million at December 31, 2011 . We also closed on the extension of a $3.3 million loan secured by Phase II of Hammock Landing in West Melbourne, FL. The loan's maturity date was extended to November 2013 at its existing interest rate of LIBOR plus a margin of 2.00%.

During the third quarter of 2011, we closed on two ten-year, non-recourse mortgage loans totaling $128.8 million, including a $50.8 million loan secured by Alamance Crossing in Burlington, NC and a $78.0 million loan secured by Asheville Mall in Asheville, NC. The loans bear interest at fixed rates of 5.83% and 5.80%, respectively. Proceeds were used to repay existing

Table of Contents

loans with principal balances of $51.8 million and $61.3 million, respectively, and to pay down our $525.0 million secured credit facility.

During the second and third quarters of 2011, we entered into extensions and modification agreements on our three secured lines of credit to extend the maturity of each of the facilities and to remove a 1.50% floor on LIBOR. Pursuant to the terms of the modifications, borrowings under these secured lines of credit bear interest at LIBOR plus an applicable spread, ranging from 2.00% to 3.00%, based on our leverage ratio. Without giving effect to actual LIBOR, the removal of the 1.50% LIBOR floors and the reduction in the spreads resulted in a decrease in the interest rates on the $525.0 million and $520.0 million facilities of approximately 2.75% and on the $105.0 million facility of approximately 2.50%.

During the second quarter of 2011, we closed on two separate ten-year, non-recourse mortgage loans totaling $277.0 million, including a $185.0 million loan secured by Fayette Mall in Lexington, KY and a $92.0 million loan secured by Mid Rivers Mall in St. Charles, MO. The loans bear interest at fixed rates of 5.42% and 5.88%, respectively. Proceeds were used to repay existing loans with principal balances of $84.7 million and $74.7 million, respectively, and to pay down our $525.0 million and $105.0 million secured credit facilities. In addition, we retired a loan with a principal balance of $36.3 million that was secured by Panama City Mall in Panama City, FL with borrowings from our $105.0 million facility.

During the first quarter of 2011, we closed on five separate non-recourse mortgage loans totaling $268.9 million. These loans have ten-year terms and include a $95.0 million loan secured by Parkdale Mall and Parkdale Crossing in Beaumont, TX; a $99.4 million loan secured by Park Plaza in Little Rock, AR; a $44.1 million loan secured by EastGate Mall in Cincinnati, OH; a $19.8 million loan secured by Wausau Center in Wausau, WI; and a $10.6 million loan secured by Hamilton Crossing in Chattanooga, TN. The loans bear interest at a weighted average fixed rate of 5.64% and are not cross-collateralized.

Also during the first quarter of 2011, we closed on four separate loans totaling $120.2 million. These loans have five-year terms and include a $36.4 million loan secured by Stroud Mall in Stroudsburg, PA; a $58.1 million loan secured by York Galleria in York, PA; a $12.1 million loan secured by Gunbarrel Pointe in Chattanooga, TN; and a $13.6 million loan secured by CoolSprings Crossing in Nashville, TN. These four loans have partial-recourse features totaling $7.5 million at December 31, 2011 which decrease as the aggregate principal amount outstanding on the loans is amortized. The loans bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 2.40% and are not cross-collateralized. We have interest rate swaps in place for the full term of each five-year loan to effectively fix the interest rates. As a result, these loans bear interest at a weighted average fixed rate of 4.57%.

Proceeds from the nine loans that closed during the first quarter of 2011 were used predominantly to pay down the outstanding balance of our $520.0 million secured credit facility. Eight of the new loans were secured with properties previously used as collateral to secure the $520.0 million credit facility.

Of the $1,062.5 million of our pro rata share of consolidated and unconsolidated debt as of December 31, 2011 that is scheduled to mature during 2012 , excluding debt premiums, we have extensions available on $230.0 million of debt at our option that we intend to exercise, leaving $832.5 million of debt maturities in 2012 that must be retired or refinanced, representing 20 operating property loans and one unsecured term loan. Subsequent to December 31, 2011 , we retired ten operating property loans with an aggregate balance of $215.4 million as of December 31, 2011 .

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Set forth below are certain factors that may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Any one or more of the following factors may cause our actual results for various financial reporting periods to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us, or on our behalf. See “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” contained herein on page 1.

RISKS RELATED TO REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS

Real property investments are subject to various risks, many of which are beyond our control, that could cause declines in the operating revenues and/or the underlying value of one or more of our Properties.

A number of factors may decrease the income generated by a retail shopping center property, including:


•	National, regional and local economic climates, which may be negatively impacted by loss of jobs, production slowdowns, adverse weather conditions, natural disasters, acts of violence, war or terrorism, declines in residential real estate activity and other factors which tend to reduce consumer spending on retail goods.


•	Adverse changes in levels of consumer spending, consumer confidence and seasonal spending (especially during the holiday season when many retailers generate a disproportionate amount of their annual profits).


•	Local real estate conditions, such as an oversupply of, or reduction in demand for, retail space or retail goods, and the availability and creditworthiness of current and prospective tenants.


•	Increased operating costs, such as increases in repairs and maintenance, real property taxes, utility rates and insurance premiums.


•	Delays or cost increases associated with the opening of new or renovated properties, due to higher than estimated construction costs, cost overruns, delays in receiving zoning, occupancy or other governmental approvals, lack of availability of materials and labor, weather conditions, and similar factors which may be outside our ability to control.


•	Perceptions by retailers or shoppers of the safety, convenience and attractiveness of the shopping center.


•	The willingness and ability of the shopping center’s owner to provide capable management and maintenance services.


•	The convenience and quality of competing retail properties and other retailing options, such as the internet.

In addition, other factors may adversely affect the value of our Properties without affecting their current revenues, including:


•	Adverse changes in governmental regulations, such as local zoning and land use laws, environmental regulations or local tax structures that could inhibit our ability to proceed with development, expansion, or renovation activities that otherwise would be beneficial to our Properties.


•	Potential environmental or other legal liabilities that reduce the amount of funds available to us for investment in our Properties.


•	Any inability to obtain sufficient financing (including construction financing and permanent debt), or the inability to obtain such financing on commercially favorable terms, to fund repayment of maturing loans, new developments, acquisitions, and property expansions and renovations which otherwise would benefit our Properties.


•	An environment of rising interest rates, which could negatively impact both the value of commercial real estate such as retail shopping centers and the overall retail climate.

Illiquidity of real estate investments could significantly affect our ability to respond to adverse changes in the performance of our Properties and harm our financial condition.

Substantially all of our total consolidated assets consist of investments in real properties. Because real estate investments are relatively illiquid, our ability to quickly sell one or more Properties in our portfolio in response to changing economic, financial and investment conditions is limited. The real estate market is affected by many factors, such as general economic conditions, availability of financing, interest rates and other factors, including supply and demand for space, that are beyond our control. We cannot predict whether we will be able to sell any Property for the price or on the terms we set, or whether any price or other terms offered by a prospective purchaser would be acceptable to us. We also cannot predict the length of time needed to find a

Table of Contents

willing purchaser and to close the sale of a Property. In addition, current economic and capital market conditions might make it more difficult for us to sell Properties or might adversely affect the price we receive for Properties that we do sell, as prospective buyers might experience increased costs of debt financing or other difficulties in obtaining debt financing.

Moreover, there are some limitations under federal income tax laws applicable to REITs that limit our ability to sell assets. In addition, because our Properties are generally mortgaged to secure our debts, we may not be able to obtain a release of a lien on a mortgaged Property without the payment of the associated debt and/or a substantial prepayment penalty, which restricts our ability to dispose of a Property, even though the sale might otherwise be desirable. Furthermore, the number of prospective buyers interested in purchasing shopping centers is limited. Therefore, if we want to sell one or more of our Properties, we may not be able to dispose of it in the desired time period and may receive less consideration than we originally invested in the Property.

Before a Property can be sold, we may be required to make expenditures to correct defects or to make improvements. We cannot assure you that we will have funds available to correct those defects or to make those improvements, and if we cannot do so, we might not be able to sell the Property, or might be required to sell the Property on unfavorable terms. In acquiring a property, we might agree to provisions that materially restrict us from selling that property for a period of time or impose other restrictions, such as limitations on the amount of debt that can be placed or repaid on that property. These factors and any others that would impede our ability to respond to adverse changes in the performance of our Properties could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

We may elect not to proceed with certain development or expansion projects once they have been undertaken, resulting in charges that could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations for the period in which the charge is taken.

We intend to pursue development and expansion activities as opportunities arise. In connection with any development or expansion, we will incur various risks, including the risk that development or expansion opportunities explored by us may be abandoned for various reasons including, but not limited to, credit disruptions that require the Company to conserve its cash until the capital markets stabilize or alternative credit or funding arrangements can be made. Developments or expansions also include the risk that construction costs of a project may exceed original estimates, possibly making the project unprofitable. Other risks include the risk that we may not be able to refinance construction loans which are generally with full recourse to us, the risk that occupancy rates and rents at a completed project will not meet projections and will be insufficient to make the project profitable, and the risk that we will not be able to obtain anchor, mortgage lender and property partner approvals for certain expansion activities.

When we elect not to proceed with a development opportunity, the development costs ordinarily are charged against income for the then-current period. Any such charge could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations for the period in which the charge is taken.

Certain of our Properties are subject to ownership interests held by third parties, whose interests may conflict with ours and thereby constrain us from taking actions concerning these Properties which otherwise would be in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders.

We own partial interests in 25 malls, 11 associated centers, nine community centers and eight office buildings. We manage all but four of these Properties. Governor's Square, Governor's Plaza, Kentucky Oaks, and The Outlet Shoppes at Oklahoma City are all owned by joint ventures and are managed by a property manager that is affiliated with the third party partner. The property manager performs the property management and leasing services for these four Properties and receives a fee for its services. The managing partner of the Properties controls the cash flow distributions, although our approval is required for certain major decisions.

Where we serve as managing general partner (or equivalent) of the entities that own our Properties, we may have certain fiduciary responsibilities to the other owners of those entities. In certain cases, the approval or consent of the other owners is required before we may sell, finance, expand or make other significant changes in the operations of such Properties. To the extent such approvals or consents are required, we may experience difficulty in, or may be prevented from, implementing our plans with respect to expansion, development, financing or other similar transactions with respect to such Properties.

With respect to those Properties for which we do not serve as managing general partner (or equivalent), we do not have day-to-day operational control or control over certain major decisions, including leasing and the timing and amount of distributions, which could result in decisions by the managing entity that do not fully reflect our interests. This includes decisions relating to the requirements that we must satisfy in order to maintain our status as a REIT for tax purposes. However, decisions relating to sales, expansion and disposition of all or substantially all of the assets and financings are subject to approval by the Operating Partnership.

Bankruptcy of joint venture partners could impose delays and costs on us with respect to the jointly owned retail Properties.

In addition to the possible effects on our joint ventures of a bankruptcy filing by us, the bankruptcy of one of the other investors in any of our jointly owned shopping centers could materially and adversely affect the relevant Property or Properties. Under the bankruptcy laws, we would be precluded from taking some actions affecting the estate of the other investor without prior approval of the bankruptcy court, which would, in most cases, entail prior notice to other parties and a hearing in the bankruptcy court. At a minimum, the requirement to obtain court approval may delay the actions we would or might want to take. If the relevant joint venture through which we have invested in a Property has incurred recourse obligations, the discharge in bankruptcy of one of the other investors might result in our ultimate liability for a greater portion of those obligations than we would otherwise bear.

We may incur significant costs related to compliance with environmental laws, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows and the funds available to us to pay dividends.

Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, a current or previous owner or operator of real estate may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of petroleum, certain hazardous or toxic substances on, under or in such real estate. Such laws typically impose such liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of such substances. The costs of remediation or removal of such substances may be substantial. The presence of such substances, or the failure to promptly remove or remediate such substances, may adversely affect the owner's or operator's ability to lease or sell such real estate or to borrow using such real estate as collateral. Persons who arrange for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances may also be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of such substances at the disposal or treatment facility, regardless of whether such facility is owned or operated by such person. Certain laws also impose requirements on conditions and activities that may affect the environment or the impact of the environment on human health. Failure to comply with such requirements could result in the imposition of monetary penalties (in addition to the costs to achieve compliance) and potential liabilities to third parties. Among other things, certain laws require abatement or removal of friable and certain non-friable asbestos-containing materials in the event of demolition or certain renovations or remodeling. Certain laws regarding asbestos-containing materials require building owners and lessees, among other things, to notify and train certain employees working in areas known or presumed to contain asbestos-containing materials. Certain laws also impose liability for release of asbestos-containing materials into the air and third parties may seek recovery from owners or operators of real properties for personal injury or property damage associated with asbestos-containing materials. In connection with the ownership and operation of properties, we may be potentially liable for all or a portion of such costs or claims.

All of our Properties (but not properties for which we hold an option to purchase but do not yet own) have been subject to Phase I environmental assessments or updates of existing Phase I environmental assessments. Such assessments generally consisted of a visual inspection of the Properties, review of federal and state environmental databases and certain information regarding historic uses of the property and adjacent areas and the preparation and issuance of written reports. Some of the Properties contain, or contained, underground storage tanks used for storing petroleum products or wastes typically associated with automobile service or other operations conducted at the Properties. Certain Properties contain, or contained, dry-cleaning establishments utilizing solvents. Where believed to be warranted, samplings of building materials or subsurface investigations were undertaken. At certain Properties, where warranted by the conditions, we have developed and implemented an operations and maintenance program that establishes operating procedures with respect to asbestos-containing materials. The cost associated with the development and implementation of such programs was not material. We have also obtained environmental insurance coverage at certain of our Properties.

We believe that our Properties are in compliance in all material respects with all federal, state and local ordinances and regulations regarding the handling, discharge and emission of hazardous or toxic substances. As of December 31, 2011 , we have recorded in our financial statements a liability of $3.0 million related to potential future asbestos abatement activities at our Properties which are not expected to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. We have not been notified by any governmental authority, and are not otherwise aware, of any material noncompliance, liability or claim relating to hazardous or toxic substances in connection with any of our present or former Properties. Therefore, we have not recorded any liability related to hazardous or toxic substances. Nevertheless, it is possible that the environmental assessments available to us do not reveal all potential environmental liabilities. It is also possible that subsequent investigations will identify material contamination, that adverse environmental conditions have arisen subsequent to the performance of the environmental assessments, or that there are material environmental liabilities of which management is unaware. Moreover, no assurances can be given that (i) future laws, ordinances or regulations will not impose any material environmental liability or (ii) the current environmental condition of the Properties has not been or will not be affected by tenants and occupants of the Properties, by the condition of properties in the vicinity of the Properties or by third parties unrelated to us, the Operating Partnership or the relevant Property's partnership.

Possible terrorist activity or other acts of violence could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Future terrorist attacks in the United States, and other acts of violence, including terrorism or war, might result in declining consumer confidence and spending, which could harm the demand for goods and services offered by our tenants and the values of our Properties, and might adversely affect an investment in our securities. A decrease in retail demand could make it difficult for us to renew or re-lease our Properties at lease rates equal to or above historical rates and, to the extent our tenants are affected, could adversely affect their ability to continue to meet obligations under their existing leases. Terrorist activities also could directly affect the value of our Properties through damage, destruction or loss. Furthermore, terrorist acts might result in increased volatility in national and international financial markets, which could limit our access to capital or increase our cost of obtaining capital.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS AND THE MARKET FOR OUR STOCK

Declines in economic conditions, including increased volatility in the capital and credit markets, could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

An economic recession can result in extreme volatility and disruption of our capital and credit markets. The resulting economic environment may be affected by dramatic declines in the stock and housing markets, increases in foreclosures, unemployment and costs of living, as well as limited access to credit. This economic situation can, and most often will, impact consumer spending levels, which can result in decreased revenues for our tenants and related decreases in the values of our Properties. A sustained economic downward trend could impact our tenants' ability to meet their lease obligations due to poor operating results, lack of liquidity, bankruptcy or other reasons. Our ability to lease space and negotiate rents at advantageous rates could also be affected in this type of economic environment. Additionally, access to capital and credit markets could be disrupted over an extended period, which may make it difficult to obtain the financing we may need for future growth and/or to meet our debt service obligations as they mature. Any of these events could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Any future common stock offerings and common stock dividends may result in dilution of our common stock.

We are not restricted by our organizational documents, contractual arrangements or otherwise from issuing additional common stock, including any securities that are convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for, or that represent the right to receive, common stock or any substantially similar securities in the future. Future sales or issuances of substantial amounts of our common stock may be at prices below the then-current market price of our common stock and may adversely impact the market price of our common stock. Additionally, the market price of our common stock could decline as a result of sales of a large number of shares of our common stock in the market after a common stock offering or the perception that such sales could occur.

The market price of our common stock or other securities may fluctuate significantly.

The market price of our common stock or other securities may fluctuate significantly in response to many factors, including:


•	actual or anticipated variations in our operating results, funds from operations, cash flows or liquidity;


•	changes in our earnings estimates or those of analysts;


•	changes in our dividend policy;


•	impairment charges affecting the carrying value of one or more of our Properties or other assets;


•	publication of research reports about us, the retail industry or the real estate industry generally;


•	increases in market interest rates that lead purchasers of our securities to seek higher dividend or interest rate yields;


•	changes in market valuations of similar companies;


•	adverse market reaction to the amount of our outstanding debt at any time, the amount of our maturing debt in the near and medium term and our ability to refinance such debt and the terms thereof or our plans to incur additional debt in the future;


•	additions or departures of key management personnel;


•	actions by institutional security holders;


•	speculation in the press or investment community;


•	the occurrence of any of the other risk factors included in, or incorporated by reference in, this report; and


•	general market and economic conditions.

Table of Contents

Many of the factors listed above are beyond our control. Those factors may cause the market price of our common stock or other securities to decline significantly, regardless of our financial performance and condition and prospects. It is impossible to provide any assurance that the market price of our common stock or other securities will not fall in the future, and it may be difficult for holders to sell such securities at prices they find attractive, or at all.

The issuance of additional preferred stock may adversely affect the earnings per share available to common shareholders and amounts available to common shareholders for payments of dividends.

We are not restricted by our organizational documents, contractual arrangements or otherwise from issuing additional preferred shares, including any securities that are convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for, or that represent the right to receive, preferred stock or any substantially similar securities in the future.

Competition could adversely affect the revenues generated by our Properties, resulting in a reduction in funds available for distribution to our stockholders.

There are numerous shopping facilities that compete with our Properties in attracting retailers to lease space. In addition, retailers at our Properties face competition for customers from:


•	discount shopping centers;


•	outlet malls;


•	wholesale clubs;


•	direct mail;


•	television shopping networks; and


•	shopping via the internet.

Each of these competitive factors could adversely affect the amount of rents and tenant reimbursements that we are able to collect from our tenants, thereby reducing our revenues and the funds available for distribution to our stockholders.

We compete with many commercial developers, real estate companies and major retailers for prime development locations and for tenants. New regional malls or other retail shopping centers with more convenient locations or better rents may attract tenants or cause them to seek more favorable lease terms at, or prior to, renewal.

Increased operating expenses and decreased occupancy rates may not allow us to recover the majority of our common area maintenance (CAM) and other operating expenses from our tenants, which could adversely affect our financial position, results of operations and funds available for future distributions.

Energy costs, repairs, maintenance and capital improvements to common areas of our Properties, janitorial services, administrative, property and liability insurance costs and security costs are typically allocable to our Properties' tenants. Our lease agreements typically provide that the tenant is liable for a portion of the CAM and other operating expenses. While historically our lease agreements provided for variable CAM provisions, the majority of our current leases require an equal periodic tenant reimbursement amount for our cost recoveries which serves to fix our tenants' CAM contributions to us. In these cases, a tenant will pay a single specified rent amount, or a set expense reimbursement amount, subject to annual increases, regardless of the actual amount of operating expenses. The tenant's payment remains the same regardless of whether operating expenses increase or decrease, causing us to be responsible for any excess amounts or to benefit from any declines. As a result, the CAM and tenant reimbursements that we receive may or may not allow us to recover a substantial portion of these operating costs.

Additionally, in the event that our Properties are not fully occupied, we would be required to pay the portion of any operating, redevelopment or renovation expenses allocable to the vacant space(s) that would otherwise typically be paid by the residing tenant(s). Our cost recovery ratio was 100.0% for 2011 .

The loss of one or more significant tenants, due to bankruptcies or as a result of consolidations in the retail industry, could adversely affect both the operating revenues and value of our Properties.

Regional malls are typically anchored by well-known department stores and other significant tenants who generate shopping traffic at the mall. A decision by an anchor tenant or other significant tenant to cease operations at one or more Properties could have a material adverse effect on those Properties and, by extension, on our financial condition and results of operations. The closing of an anchor or other significant tenant may allow other anchors and/or tenants at an affected Property to terminate their leases, to seek rent relief and/or cease operating their stores or otherwise adversely affect occupancy at the Property. In addition, key tenants at one or more Properties might terminate their leases as a result of mergers, acquisitions, consolidations, dispositions or bankruptcies in the retail industry. The bankruptcy and/or closure of one or more significant tenants, if we are not

Table of Contents

able to successfully re-tenant the affected space, could have a material adverse effect on both the operating revenues and underlying value of the Properties involved, reducing the likelihood that we would be able to sell the Properties if we decided to do so, or we may be required to incur redevelopment costs in order to successfully obtain new anchors or other significant tenants when such vacancies exist.

Our Properties may be subject to impairment charges which can adversely affect our financial results.

We periodically evaluate long-lived assets to determine if there has been any impairment in their carrying values and record impairment losses if the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than their carrying amounts or if there are other indicators of impairment. If it is determined that an impairment has occurred, the amount of the impairment charge is equal to the excess of the asset's carrying value over its estimated fair value, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial results in the accounting period in which the adjustment is made. Our estimates of undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by each Property are based on a number of assumptions such as leasing expectations, operating budgets, estimated useful lives, future maintenance expenditures, intent to hold for use and capitalization rates. These assumptions are subject to economic and market uncertainties including, but not limited to, demand for space, competition for tenants, changes in market rental rates and costs to operate each Property. As these factors are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter our assumptions, the future cash flows estimated in our impairment analyses may not be achieved. For the year ended December 31, 2011, we recorded non-cash losses on impairment of real estate of $59.2 million for five of our Properties.

Inflation or deflation may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Increased inflation could have a pronounced negative impact on our mortgage and debt interest and general and administrative expenses, as these costs could increase at a rate higher than our rents. Also, inflation may adversely affect tenant leases with stated rent increases, which could be lower than the increase in inflation at any given time. Inflation could also have an adverse effect on consumer spending which could impact our tenants' sales and, in turn, our percentage rents, where applicable.

Deflation can result in a decline in general price levels, often caused by a decrease in the supply of money or credit. The predominant effects of deflation are high unemployment, credit contraction and weakened consumer demand. Restricted lending practices could impact our ability to obtain financings or refinancings for our Properties and our tenants' ability to obtain credit. Decreases in consumer demand can have a direct impact on our tenants and the rents we receive.

Certain agreements with prior owners of Properties that we have acquired may inhibit our ability to enter into future sale or refinancing transactions affecting such Properties, which otherwise would be in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders.

Certain Properties that we originally acquired from third parties had unrealized gain attributable to the difference between the fair market value of such Properties and the third parties' adjusted tax basis in the Properties immediately prior to their contribution of such Properties to the Operating Partnership pursuant to our acquisition. For this reason, a taxable sale by us of any of such Properties, or a significant reduction in the debt encumbering such Properties, could result in adverse tax consequences to the third parties who contributed these Properties in exchange for interests in the Operating Partnership. Under the terms of these transactions, we have generally agreed that we either will not sell or refinance such an acquired Property for a number of years in any transaction that would trigger adverse tax consequences for the parties from whom we acquired such Property, or else we will reimburse such parties for all or a portion of the additional taxes they are required to pay as a result of the transaction. Accordingly, these agreements may cause us not to engage in future sale or refinancing transactions affecting such Properties which otherwise would be in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders, or may increase the costs to us of engaging in such transactions.

Uninsured losses could adversely affect our financial condition, and in the future our insurance may not include coverage for acts of terrorism.

We carry a comprehensive blanket policy for general liability, property casualty (including fire, earthquake and flood) and rental loss covering all of the Properties, with specifications and insured limits customarily carried for similar properties. However, even insured losses could result in a serious disruption to our business and delay our receipt of revenue. Furthermore, there are some types of losses, including lease and other contract claims, as well as some types of environmental losses, that generally are not insured or are not economically insurable. If an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insured limits occurs, we could lose all or a portion of the capital we have invested in a Property, as well as the anticipated future revenues from the Property. If this happens, we, or the applicable Property's partnership, may still remain obligated for any mortgage debt or other financial obligations related to the Property.

The general liability and property casualty insurance policies on our Properties currently include coverage for losses resulting from acts of terrorism, whether foreign or domestic. While we believe that the Properties are adequately insured in accordance with industry standards, the cost of general liability and property casualty insurance policies that include coverage for

Table of Contents

acts of terrorism has risen significantly subsequent to September 11, 2001. The cost of coverage for acts of terrorism is currently mitigated by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act (“TRIA”). If TRIA is not extended beyond its current expiration date of December 31, 2014, we may incur higher insurance costs and greater difficulty in obtaining insurance that covers terrorist-related damages. Our tenants may also experience similar difficulties.

RISKS RELATED TO DEBT AND FINANCIAL MARKETS

A deterioration of the capital and credit markets could adversely affect our ability to access funds and the capital needed to refinance debt or obtain new debt.

We are significantly dependent upon external financing to fund the growth of our business and ensure that we meet our debt servicing requirements. Our access to financing depends on the willingness of lending institutions to grant credit to us and conditions in the capital markets in general. An economic recession may cause extreme volatility and disruption in the capital and credit markets. We rely upon our largest credit facilities as sources of funding for numerous transactions. Our access to these funds is dependent upon the ability of each of the participants to the credit facilities to meet their funding commitments. When markets are volatile, access to capital and credit markets could be disrupted over an extended period of time and many financial institutions may not have the available capital to meet their previous commitments. The failure of one or more significant participants to our credit facilities to meet their funding commitments could have an adverse affect on our financial condition and results of operations. This may make it difficult to obtain the financing we may need for future growth and/or to meet our debt service obligations as they mature. Although we have successfully obtained debt for refinancings of our maturing debt, acquisitions and the construction of new developments in the past, we cannot make any assurances as to whether we will be able to obtain debt in the future, or that the financing options available to us will be on favorable or acceptable terms.

Our indebtedness is substantial and could impair our ability to obtain additional financing.

At December 31, 2011 , our total share of consolidated and unconsolidated debt outstanding was approximately $5,266.9 million , which represented approximately 59.7% of our total market capitalization at that time, and our total share of consolidated and unconsolidated debt maturing in 2012 , 2013 and 2014 , giving effect to all maturity extensions that are available at our election, was approximately $832.5 million , $707.4 million , and $230.6 million , respectively. Our significant leverage could have important consequences. For example, it could:


•	result in the acceleration of a significant amount of debt for non-compliance with the terms of such debt or, if such debt contains cross-default or cross-acceleration provisions, other debt;


•	result in the loss of assets due to foreclosure or sale on unfavorable terms, which could create taxable income without accompanying cash proceeds;


•	materially impair our ability to borrow unused amounts under existing financing arrangements or to obtain additional financing or refinancing on favorable terms or at all;


•	require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow to paying principal and interest on our indebtedness, reducing the cash flow available to fund our business, to pay dividends, including those necessary to maintain our REIT qualification, or to use for other purposes;


•	increase our vulnerability to an economic downturn;


•	limit our ability to withstand competitive pressures; or


•	reduce our flexibility to respond to changing business and economic conditions.

If any of the foregoing occurs, our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and prospects could be materially and adversely affected, and the trading price of our common stock or other securities could decline significantly.

Rising interest rates could both increase our borrowing costs, thereby adversely affecting our cash flows and the amounts available for distributions to our stockholders, and decrease our stock price, if investors seek higher yields through other investments.

An environment of rising interest rates could lead holders of our securities to seek higher yields through other investments, which could adversely affect the market price of our stock. One of the factors that may influence the price of our stock in public markets is the annual distribution rate we pay as compared with the yields on alternative investments. Numerous other factors, such as governmental regulatory action and tax laws, could have a significant impact on the future market price of our stock. In addition, increases in market interest rates could result in increased borrowing costs for us, which may adversely affect our cash flow and the amounts available for distributions to our stockholders.

Table of Contents

As of December 31, 2011 , our total share of consolidated and unconsolidated variable rate debt was $905.4 million . Increases in interest rates will increase our cash interest payments on the variable rate debt we have outstanding from time to time. If we do not have sufficient cash flow from operations, we might not be able to make all required payments of principal and interest on our debt, which could result in a default or have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations, and which might adversely affect our cash flow and our ability to make distributions to shareholders. These significant debt payment obligations might also require us to use a significant portion of our cash flow from operations to make interest and principal payments on our debt rather than for other purposes such as working capital, capital expenditures or distributions on our common equity.

Certain of our credit facilities, the loss of which could have a material, adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations, are conditioned upon the Operating Partnership continuing to be managed by certain members of its current senior management and by such members of senior management continuing to own a significant direct or indirect equity interest in the Operating Partnership.

Certain of the Operating Partnership's lines of credit are conditioned upon the Operating Partnership continuing to be managed by certain members of its current senior management and by such members of senior management continuing to own a significant direct or indirect equity interest in the Operating Partnership (including both units of limited partnership in the Operating Partnership and shares of our common stock owned by such members of senior management). If the failure of one or more of these conditions resulted in the loss of these credit facilities and we were unable to obtain suitable replacement financing, such loss could have a material, adverse impact on our financial position and results of operations.

Our hedging arrangements might not be successful in limiting our risk exposure, and we might be required to incur expenses in connection with these arrangements or their termination that could harm our results of operations or financial condition.

From time to time, we use interest rate hedging arrangements to manage our exposure to interest rate volatility, but these arrangements might expose us to additional risks, such as requiring that we fund our contractual payment obligations under such arrangements in relatively large amounts or on short notice. Developing an effective interest rate risk strategy is complex, and no strategy can completely insulate us from risks associated with interest rate fluctuations. We cannot assure you that our hedging activities will have a positive impact on our results of operations or financial condition. We might be subject to additional costs, such as transaction fees or breakage costs, if we terminate these arrangements. In addition, although our interest rate risk management policy establishes minimum credit ratings for counterparties, this does not eliminate the risk that a counterparty might fail to honor its obligations, particularly given current market conditions.

The covenants in our credit facilities might adversely affect us.

Our credit facilities require us to satisfy certain affirmative and negative covenants and to meet numerous financial tests. The financial covenants under the credit facilities require, among other things, that our Debt to Gross Asset Value ratio, as defined in the agreements to our credit facilities, be less than 65%, that our Interest Coverage ratio, as defined, be greater than 1.75, and that our Debt Service Coverage ratio, as defined, be greater than 1.50. Compliance with each of these ratios is dependent upon our financial performance. The Debt to Gross Asset Value ratio is based, in part, on applying a capitalization rate to our earnings before income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), as defined in the agreements to our credit facilities. Based on this calculation method, decreases in EBITDA would result in an increased Debt to Gross Asset Value ratio, assuming overall debt levels remain constant. As of December 31, 2011 , the Debt to Gross Asset Value ratio was 51.4% and we believe we were in compliance with all other covenants related to our credit facilities.

RISKS RELATED TO GEOGRAPHIC CONCENTRATIONS

Since our Properties are located principally in the Southeastern and Midwestern United States, our financial position, results of operations and funds available for distribution to shareholders are subject generally to economic conditions in these regions.

Our Properties are located principally in the southeastern and midwestern United States. Our Properties located in the southeastern United States accounted for approximately 48.1% of our total revenues from all Properties for the year ended December 31, 2011 and currently include 43 malls, 20 associated centers, nine community centers and 18 office buildings. Our Properties located in the midwestern United States accounted for approximately 33.4% of our total revenues from all Properties for the year ended December 31, 2011 and currently include 26 malls and four associated centers. Our results of operations and funds available for distribution to shareholders therefore will be subject generally to economic conditions in the southeastern and midwestern United States. While we already have Properties located in eight states across the southwestern, northeastern and western regions, we will continue to look for opportunities to geographically diversify our portfolio in order to minimize dependency on any particular region; however, the expansion of the portfolio through both acquisitions and developments is contingent on many factors including consumer demand, competition and economic conditions.

Table of Contents

Our financial position, results of operations and funds available for distribution to shareholders could be adversely affected by any economic downturn affecting the operating results at our Properties in the St. Louis, MO, Nashville, TN, Kansas City (Overland Park), KS, Chattanooga, TN, and Madison, WI, metropolitan areas, which are our five largest markets.

Our Properties located in the St. Louis, MO, Nashville, TN, Kansas City (Overland Park), KS, Chattanooga, TN, and Madison, WI metropolitan areas accounted for approximately 9.8%, 4.0%, 3.2%, 3.2% and 3.1%, respectively, of our total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2011 . No other market accounted for more than 2.7% of our total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2011 . Our financial position and results of operations will therefore be affected by the results experienced at Properties located in these metropolitan areas.

RISKS RELATED TO INTERNATIONAL INVESTMENTS

Ownership interests in investments or joint ventures outside the United States present numerous risks that differ from those of our domestic investments.

International development and ownership activities yield additional risks that differ from those related to our domestic properties and operations. These additional risks include, but are not limited to:


•	Impact of adverse changes in exchange rates of foreign currencies;


•	Difficulties in the repatriation of cash and earnings;


•	Differences in managerial styles and customs;


•	Changes in applicable laws and regulations in the United States that affect foreign operations;


•	Changes in foreign political, legal and economic environments; and


•	Differences in lending practices.

Our international activities are currently limited in their scope. We have an investment in a mall operating and real estate development company in China that is immaterial to our consolidated financial position. However, should our investments in international joint ventures or investments grow, these additional risks could increase in significance and adversely affect our results of operations.

RISKS RELATED TO DIVIDENDS

We may change the dividend policy for our common stock in the future.

Depending upon our liquidity needs, we reserve the right to pay any or all of a dividend in a combination of cash and shares of common stock, in accordance with applicable revenue procedures of the IRS. In the event that we pay a portion of our dividends in shares of our common stock pursuant to such procedures, taxable U.S. stockholders would be required to pay tax on the entire amount of the dividend, including the portion paid in shares of common stock, in which case such stockholders may have to use cash from other sources to pay such tax. If a U.S. stockholder sells the common stock it receives as a dividend in order to pay its taxes, the sales proceeds may be less than the amount included in income with respect to the dividend, depending on the market price of our common stock at the time of the sale. Furthermore, with respect to non-U.S. stockholders, we may be required to withhold federal tax with respect to our dividends, including dividends that are paid in common stock. In addition, if a significant number of our stockholders sell shares of our common stock in order to pay taxes owed on dividends, such sales would put downward pressure on the market price of our common stock.

The decision to declare and pay dividends on our common stock in the future, as well as the timing, amount and composition of any such future dividends, will be at the sole discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on our earnings, taxable income, funds from operations, liquidity, financial condition, capital requirements, contractual prohibitions or other limitations under our indebtedness and preferred stock, the annual distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), Delaware law and such other factors as our Board of Directors deems relevant. Any dividends payable will be determined by our Board of Directors based upon the circumstances at the time of declaration. Any change in our dividend policy could have a material adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.

Since we conduct substantially all of our operations through our Operating Partnership, our ability to pay dividends on our common and preferred stock depends on the distributions we receive from our Operating Partnership.

Because we conduct substantially all of our operations through our Operating Partnership, our ability to pay dividends on our common and preferred stock will depend almost entirely on payments and distributions we receive on our interests in our Operating Partnership. Additionally, the terms of some of the debt to which our Operating Partnership is a party may limit its ability to make some types of payments and other distributions to us. This in turn may limit our ability to make some types of

Table of Contents

payments, including payment of dividends to our stockholders, unless we meet certain financial tests. As a result, if our Operating Partnership fails to pay distributions to us, we generally will not be able to pay dividends to our stockholders for one or more dividend periods.

RISKS RELATED TO FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS

We conduct a portion of our business through taxable REIT subsidiaries, which are subject to certain tax risks.

We have established several taxable REIT subsidiaries including our Management Company. Despite our qualification as a REIT, our taxable REIT subsidiaries must pay income tax on their taxable income. In addition, we must comply with various tests to continue to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, and our income from and investments in our taxable REIT subsidiaries generally do not constitute permissible income and investments for these tests. While we will attempt to ensure that our dealings with our taxable REIT subsidiaries will not adversely affect our REIT qualification, we cannot provide assurance that we will successfully achieve that result. Furthermore, we may be subject to a 100% penalty tax, or our taxable REIT subsidiaries may be denied deductions, to the extent our dealings with our taxable REIT subsidiaries are not deemed to be arm's length in nature.

If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, our funds available for distribution to stockholders will be reduced.

We intend to continue to operate so as to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code. Although we believe that we are organized and operate in such a manner, no assurance can be given that we currently qualify and in the future will continue to qualify as a REIT. Such qualification involves the application of highly technical and complex Internal Revenue Code provisions for which there are only limited judicial or administrative interpretations. The determination of various factual matters and circumstances not entirely within our control may affect our ability to qualify. In addition, no assurance can be given that legislation, new regulations, administrative interpretations or court decisions will not significantly change the tax laws with respect to qualification or its corresponding federal income tax consequences. Any such change could have a retroactive effect.

If in any taxable year we were to fail to qualify as a REIT, we would not be allowed a deduction for distributions to stockholders in computing our taxable income and we would be subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate rates. Unless entitled to relief under certain statutory provisions, we also would be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification was lost. As a result, the funds available for distribution to our stockholders would be reduced for each of the years involved. This would likely have a significant adverse effect on the value of our securities and our ability to raise additional capital. In addition, we would no longer be required to make distributions to our stockholders. We currently intend to operate in a manner designed to qualify as a REIT. However, it is possible that future economic, market, legal, tax or other considerations may cause our Board of Directors, with the consent of a majority of our stockholders, to revoke the REIT election.

Any issuance or transfer of our capital stock to any person in excess of the applicable limits on ownership necessary to maintain our status as a REIT would be deemed void ab initio, and those shares would automatically be transferred to a non-affiliated charitable trust.

To maintain our status as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code, not more than 50% in value of our outstanding capital stock may be owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code to include certain entities) at any time during the last half of a taxable year. Our certificate of incorporation generally prohibits ownership of more than 6% of the outstanding shares of our capital stock by any single stockholder determined by vote, value or number of shares (other than Charles Lebovitz, Executive Chairman of our board of directors and our former Chief Executive Officer, David Jacobs, Richard Jacobs and their affiliates under the Internal Revenue Code's attribution rules). The affirmative vote of 66 2/3% of our outstanding voting stock is required to amend this provision.

Our board of directors may, subject to certain conditions, waive the applicable ownership limit upon receipt of a ruling from the IRS or an opinion of counsel to the effect that such ownership will not jeopardize our status as a REIT. Absent any such waiver, however, any issuance or transfer of our capital stock to any person in excess of the applicable ownership limit or any issuance or transfer of shares of such stock which would cause us to be beneficially owned by fewer than 100 persons, will be null and void and the intended transferee will acquire no rights to the stock. Instead, such issuance or transfer with respect to that number of shares that would be owned by the transferee in excess of the ownership limit provision would be deemed void ab initio and those shares would automatically be transferred to a trust for the exclusive benefit of a charitable beneficiary to be designated by us, with a trustee designated by us, but who would not be affiliated with us or with the prohibited owner. Any acquisition of our capital stock and continued holding or ownership of our capital stock constitutes, under our certificate of incorporation, a continuous representation of compliance with the applicable ownership limit.

Table of Contents

In order to maintain our status as a REIT and avoid the imposition of certain additional taxes under the Internal Revenue Code, we must satisfy minimum requirements for distributions to shareholders, which may limit the amount of cash we might otherwise have been able to retain for use in growing our business.

To maintain our status as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code, we generally will be required each year to distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of our taxable income after certain adjustments. However, to the extent that we do not distribute all of our net capital gains or distribute at least 90% but less than 100% of our REIT taxable income, as adjusted, we will be subject to tax on the undistributed amount at regular corporate tax rates, as the case may be. In addition, we will be subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax on the amount, if any, by which certain distributions paid by us during each calendar year are less than the sum of 85% of our ordinary income for such calendar year, 95% of our capital gain net income for the calendar year and any amount of such income that was not distributed in prior years. In the case of property acquisitions, including our initial formation, where individual Properties are contributed to our Operating Partnership for Operating Partnership units, we have assumed the tax basis and depreciation schedules of the entities' contributing Properties. The relatively low tax basis of such contributed Properties may have the effect of increasing the cash amounts we are required to distribute as dividends, thereby potentially limiting the amount of cash we might otherwise have been able to retain for use in growing our business. This low tax basis may also have the effect of reducing or eliminating the portion of distributions made by us that are treated as a non-taxable return of capital.

Complying with REIT requirements might cause us to forego otherwise attractive opportunities.

In order to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we must satisfy tests concerning, among other things, our sources of income, the nature of our assets, the amounts we distribute to our shareholders and the ownership of our stock. We may also be required to make distributions to our shareholders at disadvantageous times or when we do not have funds readily available for distribution. Thus, compliance with REIT requirements may cause us to forego opportunities we would otherwise pursue. In addition, the REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code impose a 100% tax on income from “prohibited transactions.” “Prohibited transactions” generally include sales of assets that constitute inventory or other property held for sale in the ordinary course of business, other than foreclosure property. This 100% tax could impact our desire to sell assets and other investments at otherwise opportune times if we believe such sales could be considered “prohibited transactions.”

Our holding company structure makes us dependent on distributions from the Operating Partnership.

Because we conduct our operations through the Operating Partnership, our ability to service our debt obligations and pay dividends to our shareholders is strictly dependent upon the earnings and cash flows of the Operating Partnership and the ability of the Operating Partnership to make distributions to us. Under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act, the Operating Partnership is prohibited from making any distribution to us to the extent that at the time of the distribution, after giving effect to the distribution, all liabilities of the Operating Partnership (other than some non-recourse liabilities and some liabilities to the partners) exceed the fair value of the assets of the Operating Partnership. Additionally, the terms of some of the debt to which our Operating Partnership is a party may limit its ability to make some types of payments and other distributions to us. This in turn may limit our ability to make some types of payments, including payment of dividends on our outstanding capital stock, unless we meet certain financial tests or such payments or dividends are required to maintain our qualification as a REIT or to avoid the imposition of any federal income or excise tax on undistributed income. Any inability to make cash distributions from the Operating Partnership could jeopardize our ability to pay dividends on our outstanding shares of capital stock and to maintain qualification as a REIT.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE

The ownership limit described above, as well as certain provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws, and certain provisions of Delaware law, may hinder any attempt to acquire us.

There are certain provisions of Delaware law, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, our bylaws, and other agreements to which we are a party that may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a third party from making an acquisition proposal for us. These provisions may also inhibit a change in control that some, or a majority, of our stockholders might believe to be in their best interest or that could give our stockholders the opportunity to realize a premium over the then-prevailing market prices for their shares. These provisions and agreements are summarized as follows:

•

The Ownership Limit – As described above, to maintain our status as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code, not more than 50% in value of our outstanding capital stock may be owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code to include certain entities) during the last half of a taxable year. Our certificate of incorporation generally prohibits ownership of more than 6% of the outstanding shares of our capital stock by any single stockholder determined by value (other than Charles Lebovitz, David Jacobs, Richard Jacobs and their affiliates under the Internal Revenue Code's attribution rules). In addition to preserving our status as a REIT, the ownership limit may have the effect of precluding an acquisition of control of us without the approval of our board of directors.

Table of Contents

•

Classified Board of Directors; Removal for Cause – Our certificate of incorporation provides for a board of directors divided into three classes, with one class elected each year to serve for a three-year term. As a result, at least two annual meetings of stockholders may have been required for the stockholders to change a majority of our board of directors. While our stockholders approved an amendment to our certificate of incorporation at our 2011 annual meeting to declassify the board of directors, this declassification will be phased in over three years in a manner that does not alter the term of any current director. Accordingly, this transition will not be completed, with all directors standing for election on an annual basis, until our 2014 annual meeting of stockholders. In addition, our stockholders can only remove directors for cause and only by a vote of 75% of the outstanding voting stock. Collectively, these provisions make it more difficult to change the composition of our board of directors and may have the effect of encouraging persons considering unsolicited tender offers or other unilateral takeover proposals to negotiate with our board of directors rather than pursue non-negotiated takeover attempts.

•

Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals – Our bylaws establish advance notice procedures with regard to stockholder proposals relating to the nomination of candidates for election as directors or new business to be brought before meetings of our stockholders. These procedures generally require advance written notice of any such proposals, containing prescribed information, to be given to our Secretary at our principal executive offices not less than 60 days or no more than 90 days prior to the meeting.


•	Vote Required to Amend Bylaws – A vote of 66 ² / 3 % of our outstanding voting stock (in addition to any separate approval that may be required by the holders of any particular class of stock) is necessary for stockholders to amend our bylaws.

•

Delaware Anti-Takeover Statute – We are a Delaware corporation and are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. In general, Section 203 prevents an “interested stockholder” (defined generally as a person owning 15% or more of a company's outstanding voting stock) from engaging in a “business combination” (as defined in Section 203) with us for three years following the date that person becomes an interested stockholder unless:


(a)	before that person became an interested holder, our board of directors approved the transaction in which the interested holder became an interested stockholder or approved the business combination;

(b)

upon completion of the transaction that resulted in the interested stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owns 85% of our voting stock outstanding at the time the transaction commenced (excluding stock held by directors who are also officers and by employee stock plans that do not provide employees with the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer); or


(c)	following the transaction in which that person became an interested stockholder, the business combination is approved by our board of directors and authorized at a meeting of stockholders by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of our outstanding voting stock not owned by the interested stockholder.

Under Section 203, these restrictions also do not apply to certain business combinations proposed by an interested stockholder following the announcement or notification of certain extraordinary transactions involving us and a person who was not an interested stockholder during the previous three years or who became an interested stockholder with the approval of a majority of our directors, if that extraordinary transaction is approved or not opposed by a majority of the directors who were directors before any person became an interested stockholder in the previous three years or who were recommended for election or elected to succeed such directors by a majority of directors then in office.

Certain ownership interests held by members of our senior management may tend to create conflicts of interest between such individuals and the interests of the Company and our Operating Partnership.

•

Tax Consequences of the Sale or Refinancing of Certain Properties – Since certain of our Properties had unrealized gain attributable to the difference between the fair market value and adjusted tax basis in such Properties immediately prior to their contribution to the Operating Partnership, a taxable sale of any such Properties, or a significant reduction in the debt encumbering such Properties, could cause adverse tax consequences to the members of our senior management who owned interests in our predecessor entities. As a result, members of our senior management might not favor a sale of a Property or a significant reduction in debt even though such a sale or reduction could be beneficial to us and the Operating Partnership. Our bylaws provide that any decision relating to the potential sale of any Property that would result in a disproportionately higher taxable income for members of our senior management than for us and our stockholders, or that would result in a significant reduction in such Property's debt, must be made by a majority of the independent directors of the board of directors. The Operating Partnership is required, in the case of such a sale, to distribute to its partners, at a minimum, all of the net cash proceeds from such sale up to an amount reasonably believed necessary to enable members

Table of Contents

of our senior management to pay any income tax liability arising from such sale.

•

Interests in Other Entities; Policies of the Board of Directors – Certain entities owned in whole or in part by members of our senior management, including the construction company that built or renovated most of our Properties, may continue to perform services for, or transact business with, us and the Operating Partnership. Furthermore, certain Property tenants are affiliated with members of our senior management. Accordingly, although our bylaws provide that any contract or transaction between us or the Operating Partnership and one or more of our directors or officers, or between us or the Operating Partnership and any other entity in which one or more of our directors or officers are directors or officers or have a financial interest, must be approved by our disinterested directors or stockholders after the material facts of the relationship or interest of the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to them, these affiliations could nevertheless create conflicts between the interests of these members of senior management and the interests of the Company, our shareholders and the Operating Partnership in relation to any transactions between us and any of these entities.

Malls

We owned a controlling interest in 74 Malls and non-controlling interests in ten Malls as of December 31, 2011. The Malls are primarily located in middle markets and generally have strong competitive positions because they are the only, or the dominant, regional mall in their respective trade areas. The Malls are generally anchored by two or more department stores and a wide variety of mall stores. Anchor tenants own or lease their stores and non-anchor stores (20,000 square feet or less) lease their locations. Additional freestanding stores and restaurants that either own or lease their stores are typically located along the perimeter of the Malls' parking areas.

We classify our regional malls into two categories - malls that have completed their initial lease-up are referred to as stabilized malls and malls that are in their initial lease-up phase and have not been open for three calendar years are referred to as non-stabilized malls. Pearland Town Center, which opened in July 2008, and The Outlet Shoppes at Oklahoma City, which opened in August 2011, are our only non-stabilized malls as of December 31, 2011 .

We own the land underlying each Mall in fee simple interest, except for Walnut Square, WestGate Mall, St. Clair Square, Brookfield Square, Bonita Lakes Mall, Meridian Mall, Stroud Mall, Wausau Center, Chapel Hill Mall and Eastgate Mall. We lease all or a portion of the land at each of these Malls subject to long-term ground leases.

The following table sets forth certain information for each of the Malls as of December 31, 2011 :

Anchors

Anchors are an important factor in a Mall’s successful performance. The public’s identification with a mall property typically focuses on the anchor tenants. Mall anchors are generally a department store whose merchandise appeals to a broad range of shoppers and plays a significant role in generating customer traffic and creating a desirable location for the mall store tenants.

Anchors may own their stores and the land underneath, as well as the adjacent parking areas, or may enter into long-term leases with respect to their stores. Rental rates for anchor tenants are significantly lower than the rents charged to mall store tenants. Rental revenues from anchors account for 12.3% of the total revenues from our Properties. Each anchor that owns its store has entered into an operating and reciprocal easement agreement with us covering items such as operating covenants, reciprocal easements, property operations, initial construction and future expansion.

During 2011 , we added the following anchors and junior anchors (i.e., non-traditional anchors) to the following Malls:

Debt on Associated Centers

Please see the table entitled “Mortgage Loans Outstanding at December 31, 2011 ” included herein for information regarding any liens or encumbrances related to our Associated Centers.

Community Centers

We owned a controlling interest in eight Community Centers and a non-controlling interest in five Community Centers as of December 31, 2011 . Community Centers typically have less development risk because of shorter development periods and lower costs. While Community Centers generally maintain higher occupancy levels and are more stable, they typically have slower rent growth because the anchor stores’ rents are typically fixed and are for longer terms.

Community Centers are designed to attract local and regional area customers and are typically anchored by a combination of supermarkets, or value-priced stores that attract shoppers to each center’s small shops. The tenants at our Community Centers typically offer necessities, value-oriented and convenience merchandise.

We own the land underlying the Community Centers in fee simple interest, except for Massard Crossing, which is subject to a long-term ground lease.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On March 11, 2010, The Promenade D'Iberville, LLC (“TPD”), a subsidiary of the Company, filed a lawsuit in the Circuit Court of Harrison County, Mississippi, against M. Hanna Construction Co., Inc. (“M Hanna”), Gallet & Associates, Inc., LA Ash, Inc., EMJ Corporation (“EMJ”) and JEA (f/k/a Jacksonville Electric Authority), seeking damages for alleged property damage and related damages occurring at a shopping center development in D'Iberville, Mississippi. EMJ filed an answer and counterclaim denying liability and seeking to recover from TPD the retainage of approximately $0.3 million allegedly owed under the construction contract. Kohl's Department Stores, Inc. (“Kohl's”) was granted permission to intervene in the lawsuit and, on April 13, 2011, filed a cross-claim against TPD alleging that TPD is liable to Kohl's for unspecified damages resulting from the actions of the defendants and for the failure to perform the obligations of TPD under a Site Development Agreement with Kohl's. Kohl's also made a claim against the Company which guaranteed the performance of TPD under the Site Development Agreement. The case is at the discovery stage.

TPD also has filed claims under several insurance policies in connection with this matter, and there are three pending lawsuits relating to insurance coverage. On October 8, 2010, First Mercury Insurance Company (“First Mercury”) filed an action in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas against M Hanna and TPD seeking a declaratory judgment concerning coverage under a liability insurance policy issued by First Mercury to M Hanna. That case is in the process of being dismissed for lack of federal jurisdiction and refiled in Texas state court. TPD has asserted claims for insurance coverage in that case as well. On June 13, 2011, TPD filed an action in the Chancery Court of Hamilton County, Tennessee against National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, PA (“National Union”) and EMJ seeking a declaratory judgment regarding coverage under a liability insurance policy issued by National Union to EMJ and recovery of damages arising out of National Union's breach of its obligations. On February 7, 2012, Zurich American and Zurich American of Illinois, which also have issued liability insurance policies to EMJ, moved to intervene in that case. On February 14, 2012, TPD filed claims in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi against Factory Mutual Insurance Company and Federal Insurance Company seeking a declaratory judgment concerning coverage under certain builders risk and property insurance policies issued by those respective insurers to the Company.

Certain executive officers of the Company and members of the immediate family of Charles B. Lebovitz, Chairman of the Board of the Company, collectively have a significant non-controlling interest in EMJ, a major national construction company that the Company engaged to build a substantial number of the Company's properties. EMJ is one of the defendants in the Harrison County, MS and Hamilton County, TN cases described above.

We are currently involved in certain other litigation that arises in the ordinary course of our business. We believe that the pending litigation will not materially affect our financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes that are included in this annual report. Capitalized terms used, but not defined, in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations have the same meanings as defined in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. We have restated our 2010 and 2009 financial statements. See Note 2 in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 15 for more information.

Executive Overview

We are a self-managed, self-administered, fully integrated real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that is engaged in the ownership, development, acquisition, leasing, management and operation of regional shopping malls, open-air centers, community centers and office properties. Our shopping centers are located in 26 states, but are primarily in the southeastern and midwestern United States. We have elected to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.

As of December 31, 2011 , we owned controlling interests in 74 regional malls/open-air centers (including one mixed use center), 29 associated centers (each located adjacent to a regional shopping mall), eight community centers and 13 office buildings, including our corporate office building. We consolidate the financial statements of all entities in which we have a controlling financial interest or where we are the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. As of December 31, 2011 , we owned non-controlling interests in ten regional malls, three associated centers, five community centers and six office buildings. Because one or more of the other partners have substantive participating rights, we do not control these partnerships and joint ventures and, accordingly, account for these investments using the equity method. We had controlling interests in two community center expansions, and two mall redevelopments under construction at December 31, 2011 . We also hold options to acquire certain development properties owned by third parties.

During 2011, we continued to improve our leverage reducing our share of total consolidated and unconsolidated debt by $483.7 million with proceeds generated from a joint venture with TIAA-CREF and the disposition of non-core shopping centers. At December 31, 2011, we had more than $1.1 billion in availability on our credit facilities, providing us with tremendous financial flexibility.

Our results for 2011 reflect our continued progress in stabilizing the operating income of our Properties. Our same-center portfolio generated positive growth in operating income in 2011 compared to the prior year. Our stabilized mall occupancy increased 100 basis points in 2011 over the prior year and we signed more than 7.1 million square feet of leases, a record year for our Company. Same-store sales per square foot for stabilized mall tenants 10,000 square feet or less for 2011 increased 3.3% to $336 per square foot over the prior year.

Table of Contents

FFO of our operating partnership for the year ended December 31, 2011 increased $27.9 million to $422.7 million compared to the prior year. FFO was positively impacted by a $31.4 million gain on extinguishment of debt from discontinued operations as compared to the prior year. FFO is a key performance measure for real estate companies. Please see the more detailed discussion of this measure on page 65.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the Year Ended December 31, 2011 to the Year Ended December 31, 2010

Properties that were in operation for the entire year during both 2011 and 2010 are referred to as the “ 2011 Comparable Properties.” Since January 1, 2010, we have acquired or opened one mall, one outlet center and three community centers as follows:



Property	Location	Date Acquired / Opened
New Developments :
The Pavilion at Port Orange (Phase I and Phase 1A) (1)	Port Orange, FL	March 2010
The Forum at Grandview (Phase I)	Madison, MS	November 2010
The Outlet Shoppes at Oklahoma City	Oklahoma City, OK	August 2011
Settlers Ridge (Phase II)	Robinson Township, PA	August 2011
Acquisition :
Northgate Mall	Chattanooga, TN	September 2011

(1) This Property represents a 50/50 joint venture that is accounted for using the equity method of accounting and is included in equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated affiliates in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Of these Properties, The Forum at Grandview, The Outlet Shoppes at Oklahoma City, Settlers Ridge (Phase II) and Northgate Mall are included in the Company's operations on a consolidated basis and are collectively referred to as the "2011 New Properties." In addition to the above Properties, in October 2010, we purchased the remaining 50% interest in Parkway Place in Huntsville, AL, from our joint venture partner. The results of operations of this Property, previously accounted for using the equity method of accounting, are included in our operations on a consolidated basis beginning October 1, 2010. The transactions related to the 2011 New Properties impact the comparison of the results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2011 to the results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2010 .

In October 2011, we formed a joint venture, CBL/T-C, LLC, with TIAA-CREF. As described in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements, we began accounting for our remaining interest in three of our malls, CoolSprings Galleria, Oak Park Mall and West County Center, which were previously accounted for on a consolidated basis, using the equity method of accounting upon formation of the joint venture. These Properties are collectively referred to as the "CBL/T-C Properties". This transaction impacts the comparison of the results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2011 to the results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2010 .

Revenues

Total revenues increased by $4.2 million for 2011 compared to the prior year. Rental revenues and tenant reimbursements decreased $2.0 million due to a decrease of $19.4 million related to the CBL/T-C Properties partially offset by an increase of $9.2 million from the 2011 Comparable Properties and an increase of $8.3 million from the 2011 New Properties. The purchase of the additional interest in Parkway Place in October 2010 comprised $8.6 million of the increase from the 2011 Comparable Properties. The remaining increase in rental revenues and tenant reimbursements of the 2011 Comparable Properties was primarily driven by a $0.6 million increase in minimum rents as a result of overall improvement in leasing spreads and higher occupancy levels.

Our cost recovery ratio decreased to 100.0% for 2011 compared to 102.5% for 2010 primarily due to a decline in tenant reimbursements as discussed above as well as increased utilities expense.

The increase in management, development and leasing fees of $0.5 million was mainly attributable to the management fees from the CBL/T-C Properties after the formation of CBL/T-C.

Other revenues increased $5.6 million primarily due to an increase of $3.9 million in revenues of our subsidiary that provides security and maintenance services to third parties.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses increased $53.4 million for 2011 compared to the prior year due to a $54.6 million increase in loss on impairment of real estate. Property operating expenses, including real estate taxes and maintenance and repairs, increased $2.9 million due to higher expenses of $6.3 million related to the 2011 Comparable Properties, of which $2.5 million is attributable

Table of Contents

to the consolidation of Parkway Place, and $3.0 million related to the 2011 New Properties, which were partially offset by a decrease of $6.4 million related to the CBL/T-C Properties. The increase in property operating expenses of the 2011 Comparable Properties is primarily attributable to increases of $2.5 million in security and maintenance expense, $1.5 million in utilities expense and $1.2 million in promotion-related costs.

The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense of $8.8 million resulted from a decrease of $8.7 million related to the CBL/T-C Properties and $2.2 million from the 2011 Comparable Properties, partially offset by an increase of $2.1 million from the 2011 New Properties. The decrease attributable to the 2011 Comparable Properties is primarily attributable to lower amortization of tenant allowances due to write-offs of unamortized tenant allowances in the prior year period related to certain store closings partially offset by an increase related to the consolidation of Parkway Place.

General and administrative expenses increased $1.4 million primarily as a result of increases of $1.1 million in payroll and related expenses, $0.6 million in legal and consulting expenses and $0.6 million in insurance expense, partially offset by a reduction of $0.6 million in travel costs. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses were 4.2% in 2011 compared to 4.1% in 2010 .

During 2011 , we recorded a non-cash impairment of real estate of $55.8 million, which consisted of $50.7 million related to Columbia Place in Columbia, SC, $4.5 million related to phase two of Settlers Ridge, one of our development Properties, and $0.6 million related to a loss on the sale of a land parcel. Columbia Place experienced declining cash flows as a result of changes in property-specific market conditions, which were further exacerbated by the recent economic conditions that negatively impacted leasing activity and occupancy. Phase two of Settlers Ridge is expected to be sold upon completion and stabilization and a loss was recorded to write down the book value of the Property to its estimated fair value. See Carrying Value of Long-Lived Assets in the Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates section herein for further discussion of impairment charges.

Other expenses increased $3.4 million primarily due to higher expenses of $3.8 million related to our subsidiary that provides security and maintenance services to third parties, partially offset by a decrease of $0.3 million in abandoned projects expense.

Other Income and Expenses

Interest and other income decreased $1.3 million in 2011 compared to the prior year period due to the elimination of interest income on advances to two joint ventures and a mortgage note receivable. We stopped receiving interest on one joint venture to which we had outstanding advances when it was sold in June 2010 and, in October 2010, we purchased our partner's 50% share of the joint venture that owned Parkway Place to which we previously had outstanding advances. In addition, interest income is no longer being accrued on a mortgage note receivable for which we foreclosed on the land that served as collateral on the loan.

Interest expense decreased $14.3 million in 2011 compared to the prior year. The CBL/T-C Properties comprised $8.1 million of the decrease, which was partially offset by an increase of $2.0 million related to the 2011 New Properties. The remaining decrease was primarily related to our continued efforts to deleverage our balance sheet as we decreased our consolidated debt by $720.4 million to $4,489.4 million from December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2011. Additionally, during the second and third quarters of 2011, our secured credit facilities were modified to remove a 1.50% floor on LIBOR and to reduce the amount of the spreads above LIBOR based on our leverage.

During 2011, we recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt of $1.0 million as a result of accelerated premium amortization related to the early retirement of debt on two malls.

We recorded a gain on investment of $0.9 million during 2010 related to the acquisition of the remaining 50% interest in Parkway Place in Hunstville, AL from our joint venture partner. There were no transactions of this nature in 2011.

During 2011, we recognized gain on sales of real estate assets of $59.4 million. Of this amount, $54.3 million was related to the sale of a portion of our interests in the CBL/T-C Properties and $5.1 million was related to the sale of a vacant anchor space at one of our malls and five parcels of land. We recognized a gain on sales of real estate assets of $2.9 million during 2010 from the sale of eight parcels of land.

Equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated affiliates increased by $6.3 million during 2011. One joint venture Property that opened in March 2010 contributed to the increase compared to the prior year. Increases in revenues and tenant reimbursements were key drivers at several unconsolidated Properties, reflecting improved occupancy and rental rates consistent with the 2011 Comparable Properties. Additionally, our share of the earnings of the CBL/T-C Properties accounted for $0.3 million of the increase. In addition, outparcel sales increased approximately $0.3 million compared to the prior year. These increases were partially offset by a decline in earnings from Parkway Place as a result of the acquisition of the remaining 50% interest from our joint venture partner in October 2010. Results of Parkway Place are now reported on a consolidated basis.

The income tax benefit of $0.3 million in 2011 primarily relates to our taxable REIT subsidiary and consists of a current tax provision of $5.4 million and a deferred income tax benefit of $5.7 million. During 2010 , we recorded an income tax benefit of $6.4 million, consisting of a current tax benefit of $8.4 million, partially offset by a deferred income tax provision of $2.0 million. Our taxable REIT subsidiary had higher income in 2011 compared to 2010 primarily as a result of an increase in the management fee income from our own portfolio of Properties. Because this fee income is from our consolidated Properties, the fee income is eliminated in our consolidated financial statements; however, there is still a tax effect to the taxable REIT subsidiary.

Operating income from discontinued operations for 2011 of $29.2 million reflects the operating results of one mall that was sold in February 2011 for $9.0 million. Net proceeds from the sale were used to retire the outstanding principal balance and accrued interest of $40.3 million on the non-recourse loan secured by the Property in accordance with the lender's agreement to modify the outstanding principal balance and accrued interest to equal the net sales price for the Property. As a result, we recorded a gain on the extinguishment of debt of $31.4 million. We also recorded a loss on impairment of real estate of $2.7 million to write down the book value of the Property to the net sales price. We also sold one community center in November 2011 and classified one community center as held for sale as of December 31, 2011. The results of operations of these three Properties, including the gain on extinguishment of debt and the loss on impairment of real estate, are included in discontinued operations for 2011. Loss on discontinued operations for 2010 of $23.8 million includes a non-cash impairment of real estate assets of $25.4 million related to an initial write-down of the depreciated book value of the mall that was sold in February 2011 to its estimated fair value as of June 30, 2010. Loss on discontinued operations for 2010 also reflects the operating results of the three Properties discussed above for 2011, one additional mall that was sold in October 2010 and three community centers that were sold in December 2010. Discontinued operations for all periods presented include the settlement of estimated expenses based on actual amounts for Properties sold during previous years.

Comparison of the Year Ended December 31, 2010 to the Year Ended December 31, 2009

Properties that were in operation for the entire year during both 2010 and 2009 are referred to as the “ 2010 Comparable Properties.” From January 1, 2009 to December 31, 2010, we acquired or opened six community centers as follows:



Property	Location	Date Acquired / Opened
New Developments :
Hammock Landing (1)	West Melbourne, FL	April 2009
Summit Fair (2)	Lee’s Summit, MO	August 2009
Settlers Ridge (Phase I) (3)	Robinson Township, PA	October 2009
The Promenade	D’Iberville, MS	October 2009
The Pavilion at Port Orange (Phase I and Phase 1A) (1)	Port Orange, FL	March 2010
The Forum at Grandview (Phase I)	Madison, MS	November 2010


(1)	These Properties represent 50/50 joint ventures that are accounted for using the equity method of accounting and are included in equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated affiliates in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

(2) CBL’s interest represents cost of the land underlying the project for which it will receive ground rent and a percentage of the net operating cash flows.

(3) This Property was sold in December 2010 and is included in Discontinued Operations.

Of these Properties, two community centers, The Promenade and The Forum at Grandview, are included in the Company's operations on a consolidated basis. In addition to the above Properties, in October 2010, we purchased the remaining 50% interest in Parkway Place in Huntsville, AL, from our joint venture partner. The results of operations of this Property, previously accounted for using the equity method of accounting, are included in the Company's operations on a consolidated basis beginning October 1, 2010. The Promenade, The Forum at Grandview and Parkway Place are collectively referred to as the “2010 New Properties”. The transactions related to the 2010 New Properties impact the comparison of the results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2010 to the results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Revenues

Total revenues declined by $9.8 million for 2010 compared to the prior year. Rental revenues and tenant reimbursements declined by $9.8 million due to a decrease of $14.2 million from the 2010 Comparable Properties, partially offset by an increase of $4.4 million from the 2010 New Properties. The decrease in revenues of the 2010 Comparable Properties was primarily driven by declines of $10.0 million in tenant reimbursements and $4.7 million in lease termination fees. Tenant reimbursements decreased primarily due to certain tenants converting their lease payment terms to percentage in lieu or base rent. Tenant reimbursements also were impacted by negative leasing spreads over the past year.

Table of Contents

Our cost recovery ratio decreased to 102.5% for 2010 from 102.8% for 2009 primarily due to the decline in tenant reimbursements discussed above.

The decrease in management, development and leasing fees of $1.0 million was mainly attributable to lower development fee income due to the completion in 2009 or early 2010 of certain joint venture developments that were under construction during the prior year period.

Other revenues increased $1.0 million primarily due to higher revenues related to our subsidiary that provides security and maintenance services to third parties.

Operating Expenses

Total expenses decreased $125.7 million for 2010 compared to the prior year. Property operating expenses, including real estate taxes and maintenance and repairs, decreased $7.8 million due to lower expenses of $9.2 million related to the 2010 Comparable Properties partially offset by an increase of $1.2 million from the 2010 New Properties. The decrease in property operating expenses of the Comparable Properties is primarily attributable to reductions of $3.1 million in promotion-related costs, $2.2 million in bad debt expense, $1.8 million in contracted security and maintenance expenses and $0.9 million in state tax expense. Property operating expenses continued to benefit from the cost containment program that we implemented in late 2008 and 2009. Bad debt expense decreased as a result of less store closure activity compared to the prior year.

The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense of $19.9 million resulted from a decrease of $22.6 million from the 2010 Comparable Properties, partially offset by an increase of $2.7 million related to the 2010 New Properties. The decrease attributable to the 2010 Comparable Properties is primarily due to a $13.4 million decline in depreciation expense for buildings and a $10.6 million decline in amortization of tenant allowances. The decline in depreciation expense for buildings was primarily due to the write-off of the value of certain buildings in the prior year that were reconstructed for new tenants in 2010. The decrease in amortization of tenant allowances was attributable to write-offs of certain unamortized tenant allowances in the prior year period related to several store closings.

General and administrative expenses increased $2.4 million primarily as a result of a reduction in capitalized overhead of $1.6 million coupled with an increase of $2.0 million in consulting fees and legal expenses, partially offset by a decline of $1.3 million in payroll and related expenses. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses were 4.1% in 2010 compared to 3.8% in 2009.

During the fourth quarter of 2010, we incurred a loss on impairment of real estate assets of $1.2 million due to a loss of $1.2 million related to the sale of a parcel of land. We recorded a non-cash loss on impairment of real estate assets of $109.2 million in 2009 related to write-downs of the carrying value of two shopping center Properties to their estimated fair values. See Carrying Value of Long-Lived Assets in the Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates section herein for further discussion of impairment charges.

Other expenses decreased $0.3 million primarily due to a decrease of $1.1 million in abandoned projects expense, partially offset by higher expenses of $0.7 million related to our subsidiary that provides security and maintenance services to third parties.

Other Income and Expenses

Interest expense decreased $5.3 million in 2010 compared to the prior year primarily due to a decrease in the weighted average fixed and variable interest rates on our outstanding debt and lower overall debt levels as compared to the prior year as a result of efforts to deleverage our balance sheet, including the preferred stock offerings we completed in 2010. This decrease was partially offset by a decline in capitalized interest due to the opening of the New Properties in 2010.

During 2010, we recorded a gain on investment of $0.9 million related to the acquisition of the remaining 50% interest in Parkway Place in Hunstville, AL from our joint venture partner. During 2009, we incurred non-cash impairment losses totaling $9.3 million. We recorded a charge of $7.7 million on our investment in Jinsheng Group (“Jinsheng”), an established mall operating and real estate development company located in Nanjing, China, due to a decline in expected future cash flows. The decrease was a result of declining occupancy and sales due to the then downturn of the real estate market in China. We also recorded a $1.6 million charge related to the sale of our interest in Plaza Macaé in Macaé, Brazil to reflect the fair value of the investment.

During 2010, we recognized a gain on sales of real estate assets of $2.9 million related to the sale of eight parcels of land. We recognized a gain on sales of real estate assets of $3.8 million during 2009 from the sale of six parcels of land.

Equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated affiliates decreased by $5.7 million during 2010 primarily due to capital transactions related to two of our joint venture Properties that are owned with the same partner. During the third quarter of 2010, our joint venture partner contributed a significant amount of capital to one of the Properties and we received a substantial non-cash distribution from the other Property. These capital events had a one-time negative effect due to the resulting change in the allocation of earnings based on the waterfall provisions of each joint venture agreement.

Table of Contents

The income tax benefit of $6.4 million in 2010 primarily relates to our taxable REIT subsidiary and consists of a current tax benefit of $8.4 million, partially offset by a deferred income tax provision of $2.0 million. During 2009, we recorded an income tax benefit of $1.2 million, consisting of a deferred tax benefit of $2.2 million, partially offset by a provision for current income taxes of $1.0 million.

We recognized a net gain from discontinued operations of $0.4 million in 2010, compared to a loss from discontinued operations of $0.1 million in 2009. Discontinued operations for 2010 and 2009 reflect the operating results of one mall and two community centers sold or accounted for as held for sale in 2011, one mall and three community centers sold in 2010, and one mall and one community centers sold in 2009, plus the true up of estimated expenses to actual amounts for Properties sold during previous years. Discontinued operations for 2010 includes a gain of $0.4 million related to the disposition of these Properties.

Operational Review

The shopping center business is, to some extent, seasonal in nature with tenants typically achieving the highest levels of sales during the fourth quarter due to the holiday season, which generally results in higher percentage rents in the fourth quarter. Additionally, the malls earn most of their rents from short-term tenants during the holiday period. Thus, occupancy levels and revenue production are generally the highest in the fourth quarter of each year. Results of operations realized in any one quarter may not be indicative of the results likely to be experienced over the course of the fiscal year.

We classify our regional malls into two categories - malls that have completed their initial lease-up are referred to as stabilized malls and malls that are in their initial lease-up phase and have not been open for three calendar years are referred to as non-stabilized malls. Pearland Town Center, which opened in 2008, and The Outlet Shoppes at Oklahoma City, which opened in August 2011, are our only non-stabilized malls as of December 31, 2011 .

We derive a significant amount of our revenues from the Mall Properties. The sources of our revenues by property type were as follows:



	Year Ended December 31,
	2011		2010
Malls	87.8	%	90.3	%
Associated centers	3.9	%	3.9	%
Community centers	1.7	%	1.6	%
Mortgages, office buildings and other	6.6	%	4.2	%

Mall Store Sales

Mall store sales for the year ended December 31, 2011 on a comparable per square foot basis were $336 per square foot compared with $325 per square foot for 2010, representing an increase of 3.3%. As the general state of the economy improved in 2011, including a decline in the national unemployment rate and a rise in consumer confidence, we experienced a resulting increase in sales across our portfolio in 2011. In addition, retailers in general were highly promotional throughout the year, especially during the holiday season, which continued to attract the value oriented shopper. We expect to see modest positive sales increases continue throughout the coming year as the economy continues to improve.

Occupancy

Our portfolio occupancy is summarized in the following table:



	December 31,
	2011			2010
Total portfolio	93.6	%		92.4	%
Total mall portfolio	94.1	%		92.9	%
Stabilized malls (1)	94.2	%		93.2	%
Non-stabilized malls	92.1	%	(2)	77.3	%	(3)
Associated centers	93.4	%		91.3	%
Community centers	91.5	%		91.8	%

(1) Impaired properties removed during the 4th quarter 2011 are Columbia Place, Hickory Hollow Mall, and Towne Mall.

(2) Represents occupancy for Pearland Town Center and The Outlet Shoppes at Oklahoma City.

(3) Represents occupancy for Pearland Town Center.

Table of Contents

Leasing activity continued to improve throughout the year, as reflected in our occupancy increases. We posted a 120 basis point increase in the occupancy rate for our total portfolio, compared to the prior year, with stabilized mall occupancy improving by 100 basis points over the prior year. At December 31, 2012, we anticipate an increase in occupancy levels ranging from flat to 50 basis points compared with the prior year.

Leasing

During 2011 , we signed more than 7.1 million square feet of leases, including 6.8 million square feet of leases in our operating portfolio and 0.3 million square feet of development leases. This compares with a total of approximately 4.8 million square feet of leases signed during 2010, including 4.4 million square feet of leases in our operating portfolio and 0.4 million square feet of development leasing.

Average annual base rents per square foot were as follows for each property type:



	December 31,
	2011		2010
Stabilized malls	$	29.68	$	29.36
Non-stabilized malls	23.92		25.64
Associated centers	11.65		12.04
Community centers	14.38		13.76
Office buildings	17.68		18.14

Results from new and renewal leasing of comparable small shop space of less than 10,000 square feet during the year ended December 31, 2011 for spaces that were previously occupied are as follows:



Property Type	Square Feet	Prior Gross Rent PSF		New Initial Gross Rent PSF		% Change Initial		New Average Gross Rent PSF (2)		% Change Average
All Property Types (1)	3,055,000	$	36.05	$	37.16	3.1	%	$	38.32	6.3	%
Stabilized Malls	2,840,969	37.24		38.40		3.1	%	39.60		6.3	%
New leases	655,968	40.46		46.40		14.7	%	49.37		22.0	%
Renewal leases	2,185,001	36.27		36.00		(0.7	)%	36.66		1.1	%

(1) Includes stabilized malls, associated centers, community centers and office buildings.

(2) Average gross rent does not incorporate allowable future increases for recoverable common area expenses.

For stabilized mall leasing in 2011, on a same space basis, rental rates were signed at an average increase of 6.3% from the prior gross rent per square foot for new and renewal leases. We are pleased with the significant improvement over the prior year. The ongoing improvement in sales has translated into steady demand from retailers, which is reflected in our positive leasing spreads.

We are seeing a decreased frequency in the signing of shorter term leases in locations where space may not currently be renting at favorable rates. We are pleased by this trend and believe this will continue throughout the year. We will also be looking to improve the rental rates on shorter term deals that we have signed over the last twelve months as they expire. With continued positive sales growth and steady demand from retailers, we are optimistic about the leasing environment.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the year ended December 31, 2011 , we closed on seventeen operating property loans totaling $1,108.5 million. Proceeds were primarily used to repay existing loans of approximately $397.6 million and to pay down the outstanding balances of our $525.0 million and $520.0 million secured credit facilities. During the second and third quarters of 2011, our three secured credit facilities were modified to remove a 1.50% floor on LIBOR. Without giving effect to actual LIBOR, the removal of the 1.50% floors and the reduction in the spreads resulted in a decrease in the interest rates on the $525.0 million and $520.0 million facilities of approximately 2.75% and on the $105.0 million facility of approximately 2.50%. We also executed extensions on the maturity of each of the facilities. As of December 31, 2011 , we had approximately $1,118.0 million available on all of our credit facilities combined.

We sold one mall in February 2011 for $9.0 million and used the net proceeds to retire the $40.3 million outstanding balance of principal and unpaid interest on the loan securing the Property and recognized a gain on extinguishment of debt of $31.4 million as the lender had agreed to modify the balance owed under the loan to equal the net cash sales price of the Property.

Table of Contents

We also sold a community center in November 2011 for $26.1 million and used the net proceeds of $25.8 million to reduce the borrowings on the unsecured term loan used to acquire the Starmount Properties.

In October 2011, we closed on a $1.09 billion joint venture with TIAA-CREF in which TIAA-CREF received a 50% pari passu interest in each of Oak Park Mall in Kansas City, KS; West County Center in St. Louis, MO; and CoolSprings Galleria in Nashville, TN. TIAA-CREF also received a 12% interest in Pearland Town Center in Pearland, TX. As part of the joint venture agreement, TIAA-CREF assumed approximately $266.8 million of property-specific debt. Net proceeds of approximately $204.2 million from the transaction were used to reduce the outstanding borrowings on our $525.0 million and $105.0 million credit facilities.

We derive a majority of our revenues from leases with retail tenants, which have historically been the primary source for funding short-term liquidity and capital needs such as operating expenses, debt service, tenant construction allowances, recurring capital expenditures, dividends and distributions. We believe that the combination of cash flows generated from our operations, combined with our debt and equity sources and the availability under our lines of credit will, for the foreseeable future, provide adequate liquidity to meet our cash needs. In addition to these factors, we have options available to us to generate additional liquidity, including but not limited to, equity offerings, joint venture investments, issuances of noncontrolling interests in our Operating Partnership, and decreasing the amount of expenditures we make related to tenant construction allowances and other capital expenditures. We also generate revenues from sales of peripheral land at the Properties and from sales of real estate assets when it is determined that we can realize an optimal value for the assets.

Cash Flows From Operations

There was $56.1 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2011 , an increase of $5.2 million from December 31, 2010 . Cash provided by operating activities during 2011, increased $12.0 million to $441.8 million from $429.8 million during 2010. The increase is primarily due the improved operating results of the 2011 Comparable Properties, the addition of the results from the 2011 New Properties and lower interest expense as a result of lower debt levels in 2011.

Debt

The following tables summarize debt based on our pro rata ownership share, including our pro rata share of unconsolidated affiliates and excluding noncontrolling investors’ share of consolidated Properties, because we believe this provides investors and lenders a clearer understanding of our total debt obligations and liquidity (in thousands):

(1)	Weighted average interest rate includes the effect of debt premiums (discounts), but excludes amortization of deferred financing costs.


(2)	We had four interest rate swaps on notional amounts totaling $117.7 million as of December 31, 2011 related to four variable-rate loans on operating Properties to effectively fix the interest rates on those loans. Therefore, this amount is reflected in fixed-rate debt in 2011.

Of the $1,062.5 million of our pro rata share of consolidated and unconsolidated debt as of December 31, 2011 that is scheduled to mature during 2012 , excluding debt premiums, we have extensions available on $230.0 million of debt at our option that we intend to exercise, leaving $832.5 million of debt maturities in 2012 that must be retired or refinanced, representing 20 operating Property loans and one unsecured term loan. Subsequent to December 31, 2011 , we retired ten operating Property loans with an aggregate balance of $215.4 million as of December 31, 2011 .

The Company has extension options available, at its election, related to the maturities of the $520,000 secured credit facility and the two unsecured term loans. The Company’s $520,000 credit facility is currently secured by several operating Properties or parcels thereof. The Company is in process of obtaining property-specific, non-recourse loans for the majority of these Properties. The $520,000 secured credit facility may be used to retire loans maturing in 2012, as well as to provide additional flexibility for liquidity purposes.

The weighted average remaining term of our total share of consolidated and unconsolidated debt was 4.5 years and 3.5 years at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The weighted average remaining term of our pro rata share of fixed-rate debt was 5.0 years and 4.6 years at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, our pro rata share of consolidated and unconsolidated variable-rate debt represented 17.2% and 29.3%, respectively, of our total pro rata share of debt. The decline is primarily due to using proceeds from the TIAA-CREF joint venture transaction and the sale of a community center to reduce variable rate debt. As of December 31, 2011 , our share of consolidated and unconsolidated variable-rate debt represented 10.3% of our total market capitalization (see Equity below) as compared to 17.4% as of December 31, 2010 .

Secured Lines of Credit

We have three secured lines of credit that are used for mortgage retirement, working capital, construction and acquisition purposes, as well as issuances of letters of credit. Each of these lines is secured by mortgages on certain of our operating Properties. During the second and third quarters of 2011, these credit facilities were modified to remove a 1.50% floor on LIBOR. Pursuant to the terms of the modifications, borrowings under these secured lines of credit bear interest at LIBOR plus an applicable spread, ranging from 2.00% to 3.00% based on our leverage ratio. Without giving effect to actual LIBOR, the removal of the 1.50% floors and the reduction in the spreads resulted in a decrease in the interest rates on the $525.0 million and $520.0 million facilities of approximately 2.75% and on the $105.0 million facility of approximately 2.50% , respectively. We also executed extensions on the maturity of each of the facilities. The three secured lines of credit had a weighted average interest rate of 3.03% at December 31, 2011 . We also pay fees based on the amount of unused availability under the secured lines of credit at rates ranging from 0.15% to 0.35% of unused availability. The following summarizes certain information about the secured lines of credit as of December 31, 2011 (in thousands):

(1) There was an additional $4,870 outstanding on this secured line of credit as of December 31, 2011

for letters of credit. Up to $50,000 of the capacity on this line can be used for letters of credit.

In October 2011, we retired a $133.9 million term loan on Pearland Town Center and a $20.8 million term loan on West County Center with borrowings from the $525.0 million and $105.0 million secured credit facilities.

The agreements to the $105.0 million and $525.0 million secured lines of credit contain, among other restrictions, certain financial covenants including the maintenance of certain financial coverage ratios, minimum net worth requirements, and limitations on cash flow distributions. We believe that we were in compliance with all covenants and restrictions at December 31, 2011 .

Unsecured Term Facilities

We have an unsecured term facility that bears interest at LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 0.95% to 1.40% , based on our leverage ratio. At December 31, 2011 , the outstanding borrowings of $181.6 million under this loan had a weighted average interest rate of 1.4% . The loan was obtained for the exclusive purpose of acquiring certain Properties from the Starmount Company or its affiliates. We completed our acquisition of these Properties in February 2008 and, as a result, no further draws can be made against the loan. The loan matured in November 2011 and we exercised our one-year extension option for an outside maturity date of November 2012. Net proceeds from a sale, or our share of excess proceeds from any refinancings, of any of the properties originally purchased with borrowings from this unsecured term loan must be used to pay down any remaining outstanding balance.

We have an unsecured term facility with total availability of $228.0 million that bears interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 1.50% to 1.80% based on our leverage ratio. At December 31, 2011 , the outstanding borrowings of $228.0 million under the unsecured term loan had a weighted average interest rate of 1.88% . The loan matures in April 2012 and has a one-year extension option, which is at our election, for an outside maturity date of April 2013.

Letters of Credit

We have secured and unsecured lines of credit with total availability of $16.0 million that are used only to issue letters of credit. There was $2.9 million outstanding under these lines at December 31, 2011 .

Covenants and Restrictions

The agreements to the secured lines of credit contain, among other restrictions, certain financial covenants including the maintenance of certain financial coverage ratios, minimum net worth requirements, and limitations on cash flow distributions. The Company believes that it was in compliance with all covenants and restrictions at December 31, 2011 .The following presents the Company's compliance with certain of the ratios as of December 31, 2011 :



Ratio	Required	Actual
Debt to Gross Asset Value	< 65%	51.4%
Interest Coverage	> 1.75x	2.45x
Debt Service Coverage	> 1.50x	1.89x

The agreements to the $525.0 million and $520.0 million secured credit facilities and the two unsecured term facilities described above, each with the same lead lender, contain default and cross-default provisions customary for transactions of this nature (with applicable customary grace periods) in the event (i) there is a default in the payment of any indebtedness owed by us to any institution which is a part of the lender groups for the credit facilities, or (ii) there is any other type of default with respect to any indebtedness owed by us to any institution which is a part of the lender groups for the credit facilities and such lender accelerates the payment of the indebtedness owed to it as a result of such default. The credit facility agreements provide that, upon the occurrence and continuation of an event of default, payment of all amounts outstanding under these credit facilities and those facilities with which these agreements reference cross-default provisions may be accelerated and the lenders’ commitments

may be terminated. Additionally, any default in the payment of any recourse indebtedness greater than $50.0 million or any non-recourse indebtedness greater than $100.0 million of the Company, the Operating Partnership and significant subsidiaries, as defined, regardless of whether the lending institution is a part of the lender groups for the credit facilities, will constitute an event of default under the agreements to the credit facilities. We believe that we were in compliance with regard to these provisions as of December 31, 2011 .

Mortgages on Operating Properties

During the fourth quarter of 2011, we closed on a $140.0 million ten-year non-recourse mortgage loan secured by Cross Creek Mall in Fayetteville, NC, which bears a fixed interest rate of 4.54%. We also closed on a $60.0 million ten-year non-recourse commercial mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS") loan with a fixed interest rate of 5.73% secured by The Outlet Shoppes at Oklahoma City in Oklahoma City, OK. A non-recourse loan secured by St. Clair Square in Fairview Heights, IL was extended for a five-year period from December 2011 to December 2016, with an increase in the loan amount from $69.4 million to $125.0 million and a reduction in the interest rate to LIBOR plus 300 basis points. Additionally, we closed a $58.0 million recourse mortgage loan secured by The Promenade in D'lberville, MS with a three-year initial term and two extension options of two years each. The loan bears interest of 75% of LIBOR plus 175 basis points. We also extended the maturity date of a $3.3 million loan secured by Phase II of Hammock Landing in West Melbourne, FL to November 2013 at its existing interest rate of LIBOR plus a margin of 2.00%. Proceeds from these loans were used to repay existing loans totaling $231.9 million, loan reserves and escrow deposits of $7.1 million, partner distributions of $3.3 million and to pay down $144.1 million on our credit facility.

During the second quarter of 2011, we closed on two separate ten-year, non-recourse mortgage loans totaling $277.0 million, including a $185.0 million loan secured by Fayette Mall in Lexington, KY and a $92.0 million loan secured by Mid Rivers Mall in St. Charles, MO. The loans bear interest at fixed rates of 5.42% and 5.88%, respectively. Proceeds were used to repay existing loans with principal balances of $84.7 million and $74.7 million, respectively, and to pay down our $525.0 million secured credit facility. In addition, we retired a loan with a principal balance of $36.3 million that was secured by Panama City Mall in Panama City, FL with borrowings from our $525.0 million facility.

Also during the first quarter of 2011, we closed on four separate loans totaling $120.2 million. These loans have five-year terms and include a $36.4 million loan secured by Stroud Mall in Stroud, PA; a $58.1 million loan secured by York Galleria in York, PA; a $12.1 million loan secured by Gunbarrel Pointe in Chattanooga, TN; and a $13.6 million loan secured by CoolSprings Crossing in Nashville, TN. These four loans have partial-recourse features totaling $7.5 million at December 31, 2011 , which will further decrease as the aggregate principal amount outstanding on the loans is amortized. The loans bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 2.40% and are not cross-collateralized. We have interest rate swaps in place for the full term of each five-year loan to effectively fix the interest rates. As a result, these loans bear interest at a weighted average fixed rate of 4.57%. See Interest Rate Hedge Instruments below for additional information.

Proceeds from the nine loans that closed during the first quarter of 2011 were used predominantly to pay down the outstanding balance of our $520.0 million secured credit facility. Eight of the new loans were secured with Properties previously used as collateral to secure the $520.0 million credit facility.

Interest Rate Hedging Instruments

During the first quarter of 2011, we entered into four pay fixed/receive variable interest rate swaps with an initial aggregate notional amount of $120.2 million (amortizing to $100.0 million) to hedge the interest rate risk exposure on the borrowings on four of our operating properties equal to the aggregate swap notional amount. These interest rate swaps hedge the risk of changes in cash flows on our designated forecasted interest payments attributable to changes in 1-month LIBOR, the designated benchmark interest rate being hedged, thereby reducing exposure to variability in cash flows relating to interest payments on the variable-

Table of Contents

rate debt. The interest rate swaps effectively fix the interest payments on the portion of debt principal corresponding to the swap notional amount at a weighted average rate of 4.57%.

Also during the first quarter of 2011, we entered into an interest rate cap agreement with an initial notional amount of $64.3 million (amortizing to $63.6 million) to hedge the risk of changes in cash flows on the letter of credit supporting certain bonds related to one of our operating Properties equal to the then-outstanding cap notional. This interest rate cap agreement terminated in December 2011 when the related debt obligation was refinanced.

The following table provides further information related to each of our interest rate derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 (dollars in thousands):



Instrument Type	Location in Consolidated Balance Sheet	Outstanding Notional Amount	Designated Benchmark Interest Rate	Strike Rate		Fair Value at 12/31/11			Fair Value at 12/31/10		Maturity Date

Subsequent to December 31, 2011, we entered into a $125.0 million interest rate cap agreement (amortizing to $122.4 million) to hedge the risk of changes in cash flows on the borrowings of one of our Properties equal to the cap notional. The interest rate cap protects us from increases in the hedged cash flows attributable to overall changes in 3-month LIBOR above the strike rate of the cap on the debt. The strike rate associated with the interest rate cap is 5.00%. The cap matures in January 2014.

Equity

During the year ended December 31, 2011 , we paid dividends of $165.4 million to holders of our common stock and our preferred stock, as well as $75.5 million in distributions to the noncontrolling interest investors in our Operating Partnership and other consolidated subsidiaries.

We paid first, second and third quarter 2011 cash dividends on our common stock of $0.21 per share on April 15 ^th , July 15 ^th and October 14 ^th 2011 , respectively. On November 30, 2011, we announced a fourth quarter cash dividend of $0.21 per share that was paid on January 16, 2012. Future dividends payable will be determined by our Board of Directors based upon circumstances at the time of declaration.

As a publicly traded company, we have access to capital through both the public equity and debt markets. We currently have a shelf registration statement on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission authorizing us to publicly issue senior and/or subordinated debt securities, shares of preferred stock (or depositary shares representing fractional interests therein), shares of common stock, warrants or rights to purchase any of the foregoing securities, and units consisting of two or more of these classes or series of securities. There is no limit to the offering price or number of securities that we may issue under this shelf registration statement.

Our strategy is to maintain a conservative debt-to-total-market capitalization ratio in order to enhance our access to the broadest range of capital markets, both public and private. Based on our share of total consolidated and unconsolidated debt and the market value of equity, our debt-to-total-market capitalization (debt plus market value of equity) ratio was 59.7% at December 31, 2011 , compared to 59.6% at December 31, 2010 . Our debt -to-market capitalization ratio at December 31, 2011 was computed as follows (in thousands, except stock prices):

(1)

Represents principal and interest payments due under the terms of mortgage and other indebtedness and includes $994,745 of variable-rate debt service on nine operating Properties, three construction loans, two secured credit facilities and two unsecured term facilities. The variable-rate loans on the operating Properties call for payments of interest only with the total principal due at maturity. The construction loans and credit facilities do not require scheduled principal payments. The future contractual obligations for all variable-rate indebtedness reflect payments of interest only throughout the term of the debt with the total outstanding principal at December 31, 2011 due at maturity. The future interest payments are projected based on the interest rates that were in effect at December 31, 2011 . See

Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding the terms of long-term debt.


(2)	Includes $155,040 of variable-rate debt service. Future contractual obligations have been projected using the same assumptions as used in (1) above.


(3)	Obligations where we own the buildings and improvements, but lease the underlying land under long-term ground leases. The maturities of these leases range from 2014 to 2089 and generally provide for renewal options.


(4)	Represents the remaining balance to be incurred under construction contracts that had been entered into as of December 31, 2011 , but were not complete. The contracts are primarily for development of Properties.

Capital Expenditures

Including our share of unconsolidated affiliates’ capital expenditures, we spent $46.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2011 for tenant allowances, which typically generate increased rents from tenants over the terms of their leases. Deferred maintenance expenditures were $20.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 and included $8.8 million for resurfacing and improved lighting of parking lots, $3.3 million for roof repairs and replacements and $8.7 million for various other capital expenditures. Renovation expenditures were $23.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 .

Table of Contents

Deferred maintenance expenditures are generally billed to tenants as common area maintenance expense, and most are recovered over a 5 to 15-year period. Renovation expenditures are primarily for remodeling and upgrades of malls, of which a portion is recovered from tenants over a 5 to 15-year period. We are recovering these costs through fixed amounts with annual increases or pro rata cost reimbursements based on the tenant’s occupied space.

We believe that it is important to reinvest in our Properties in order to enhance their dominant position in the market.We recently announced our 2012 renovation program, which includes upgrades at four of our Properties. Renovations are scheduled to be completed at Cross Creek Mall in Fayetteville, NC; Post Oak Mall in College Station, TX; Turtle Creek Mall in Hattiesburg, MS and Mall del Norte in Laredo, TX by the end of 2012. Cross Creek Mall will receive updated entrances, paint, new interior decor and graphics, upgraded amenities, and new landscaping. The renovation at Post Oak Mall will include new flooring and paint as well as new amenities such as soft seating areas, updated entrances, and lighting. Turtle Creek Mall's renovations will include new flooring, lighting, landscape improvements and other upgrades. The renovations at Mall del Norte will complete a series of upgrades begun in 2007. In addition, the food courts of Cross Creek Mall, Post Oak Mall, and Turtle Creek Mall will receive completely new designs to include new tables and chairs. Our total anticipated net investment in these renovations, is approximately $41.4 million.

The terms of the joint venture that we formed with TIAA-CREF require us to fund certain capital expenditures related to parking decks at West County Center in the amount of $26.4 million. As of December 31, 2011, we had funded $7.3 million of this amount leaving $19.1 million be funded in 2012 and 2013.

Annual capital expenditures budgets are prepared for each of our Properties that are intended to provide for all necessary recurring and non-recurring capital expenditures. We believe that property operating cash flows, which include reimbursements from tenants for certain expenses, will provide the necessary funding for these expenditures.

During the fourth quarter of 2011, we completed renovation projects at four of our malls, including Hamilton Place in Chattanooga, TN; Oak Park Mall in Kansas City, KS; RiverGate Mall in Nashville, TN; and Burnsville Center in Minneapolis, MN.

On August 5, 2011, we celebrated the grand opening of The Outlet Shoppes at Oklahoma City, a joint venture outlet center in Oklahoma City, OK, in which we have a 75% ownership interest. It is the only outlet center in the state of Oklahoma and the only center of its kind within a 145 mile radius. The center opened fully leased with retailers including Saks Off 5 ^th , Nike, Tommy Hilfiger, Polo, J. Crew, Brooks Brothers and more.

During the third quarter of 2011, the second phase of Settlers Ridge in Robinson Township, PA opened 100% leased or committed and is anchored by Michaels, Ross Dress for Less, Pet Supplies Plus and ULTA. During the fourth quarter of 2011, the second phase of Alamance Crossing in Burlington, NC opened 100% leased or committed, anchored by Dick's Sporting Goods, Kohl's and BJ's.

We commenced construction on two new projects during the third quarter. In Waynesville, NC we are under construction for a community center that will be anchored by Belk along with PetSmart and Michaels, located next to an existing Wal Mart. We also started construction on the second phase of The Forum at Grandview, our 75/25 joint venture community center development in Madison, MS. The second phase will be anchored by ULTA, HomeGoods and Petco.

We currently have two redevelopments under construction. Two new state-of-the-art 12-screen movie theaters are scheduled to open within the next year at Foothills Mall in Maryville, TN and Monroeville Mall in Pittsburgh, PA, along with a JC Penney at Monroeville Mall. We should see a positive effect for the Properties and our portfolio by enhancing these existing centers.

We hold options to acquire certain development properties owned by third parties. Except for the projects presented above, we do not have any other material capital commitments as of December 31, 2011 .

Acquisitions

On September 30, 2011, we purchased Northgate Mall located in Chattanooga, TN, for a total cash purchase price of $11.5 million plus $0.7 million of transaction costs.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Unconsolidated Affiliates

We have ownership interests in 17 unconsolidated affiliates as of December 31, 2011 , that are described in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements. The unconsolidated affiliates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting and are reflected in the consolidated balance sheets as “Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates.” The following are circumstances when we may consider entering into a joint venture with a third party:

▪

Third parties may approach us with opportunities in which they have obtained land and performed some pre-development activities, but they may not have sufficient access to the capital resources or the development and leasing expertise to bring the project to fruition. We enter into such arrangements when we determine such a project is viable and we can achieve a satisfactory return on our investment. We typically earn development fees from the joint venture and provide management and leasing services to the property for a fee once the property is placed in operation.

▪

We determine that we may have the opportunity to capitalize on the value we have created in a Property by selling an interest in the Property to a third party. This provides us with an additional source of capital that can be used to develop or acquire additional real estate assets that we believe will provide greater potential for growth. When we retain an interest in an asset rather than selling a 100% interest, it is typically because this allows us to continue to manage the Property, which provides us the ability to earn fees for management, leasing, development and financing services provided to the joint venture.

Preferred Joint Venture Units

We consolidate our investment in a joint venture, CW Joint Venture, LLC (“CWJV”), with Westfield Group (“Westfield”). The terms of the joint venture agreement require that CWJV pay an annual preferred distribution at a rate of 5.0%, which increases to 6.0% on July 1, 2013, on the preferred liquidation value of the perpetual preferred joint venture units (“PJV units”) of CWJV that are held by Westfield. Westfield has the right to have all or a portion of the PJV units redeemed by CWJV with property owned by CWJV, and subsequent to October 16, 2012, with either cash or property owned by CWJV, in each case for a net equity amount equal to the preferred liquidation value of the PJV units. At any time after January 1, 2013, Westfield may propose that CWJV acquire certain qualifying property that would be used to redeem the PJV units at their preferred liquidation value. If CWJV does not redeem the PJV units with such qualifying property (a “Preventing Event”), then the annual preferred distribution rate on the PJV units increases to 9.0% beginning July 1, 2013. We will have the right, but not the obligation, to offer to redeem the PJV units from January 31, 2013 through January 31, 2015 at their preferred liquidation value, plus accrued and unpaid distributions. If we fail to make such an offer, the annual preferred distribution rate on the PJV units increases to 9.0% for the period from July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2016, at which time it decreases to 6.0% if a Preventing Event has not occurred. If, upon redemption of the PJV units, the fair value of our common stock is greater than $32.00 per share, then such excess (but in no case greater than $26.0 million in the aggregate) shall be added to the aggregate preferred liquidation value payable on account of the PJV units. We account for this contingency using the method prescribed for earnings or other performance measure contingencies. As such, should this contingency result in additional consideration to Westfield, we will record the current fair value of the consideration issued as a purchase price adjustment at the time the consideration is paid or payable.

Guarantees

We may guarantee the debt of a joint venture primarily because it allows the joint venture to obtain funding at a lower cost than could be obtained otherwise. This results in a higher return for the joint venture on its investment, and a higher return on our investment in the joint venture. We may receive a fee from the joint venture for providing the guaranty. Additionally, when we issue a guaranty, the terms of the joint venture agreement typically provide that we may receive indemnification from the joint venture partner or have the ability to increase our ownership interest.

We own a parcel of land in Lee's Summit, MO that we are ground leasing to a third party development company. The third party developed and operates a shopping center on the land parcel. We have guaranteed 27% of the third party’s construction loan and bond line of credit (the “loans”) of which the initial maximum guaranteed amount was $24.4 million . During 2011, the loans were partially paid down and amended such that our maximum guaranteed amount, representing 27% of capacity, is approximately $18.6 million at December 31, 2011 . The total amount outstanding at December 31, 2011 on the loans was $60.9 million of which we have guaranteed $16.4 million . The Company reported an obligation of $0.2 million and $0.3 million as of December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 , respectively in its consolidated balance sheets to reflect the estimated fair value of the guaranty.

Table of Contents

We have guaranteed 100% of the construction and land loans of West Melbourne I, LLC (“West Melbourne”), an unconsolidated affiliate in which we own a 50% interest, of which the maximum guaranteed amount is $45.7 million . West Melbourne developed and operates Hammock Landing, a community center in West Melbourne, FL. The total amount outstanding on the loans at December 31, 2011 was $45.7 million . The guaranty will expire upon repayment of the debt. The land loan, and the construction loan, each representing $3.2 million and $42.5 million , respectively, of the amount outstanding at December 31, 2011 , mature in November 2013. We recorded an obligation of $0.5 million and $0.7 million in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 , respectively, to reflect the estimated fair value of this guaranty.

We have guaranteed 100% of the construction loan of Port Orange I, LLC (“Port Orange”), an unconsolidated affiliate in which we own a 50% interest, of which the maximum guaranteed amount is $96.1 million . Port Orange developed and operates The Pavilion at Port Orange, a community center in Port Orange, FL. The total amount outstanding at December 31, 2011 on the loan was $68.3 million . The guaranty will expire upon repayment of debt. The loan matures in March 2012 and has a one-year extension option available. We have recorded an obligation of $1.0 million and $1.1 million in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 , respectively, to reflect the estimated fair value of this guaranty.

We have guaranteed the lease performance of York Town Center, LP (“YTC”), an unconsolidated affiliate in which we own a 50% interest, under the terms of an agreement with a third party that owns property as part of York Town Center. Under the terms of that agreement, YTC is obligated to cause performance of the third party’s obligations as landlord under its lease with its sole tenant, including, but not limited to, provisions such as co-tenancy and exclusivity requirements. Should YTC fail to cause performance, then the tenant under the third party landlord’s lease may pursue certain remedies ranging from rights to terminate its lease to receiving reductions in rent. We have guaranteed YTC’s performance under this agreement up to a maximum of $ 22.0 million , which decreases by $ 0.8 million annually until the guaranteed amount is reduced to 10.0 million . The guaranty expires on December 31, 2020. The maximum guaranteed obligation was $18.0 million as of December 31, 2011 . We entered into an agreement with our joint venture partner under which the joint venture partner has agreed to reimburse us 50% of any amounts we are obligated to fund under the guaranty. We did not record an obligation for this guaranty because we determined that the fair value of the guaranty is not material.

We guaranteed 100% of a construction loan of JG Gulf Coast Town Center, LLC, an unconsolidated affiliate in which we own a 50% interest, of which the maximum guaranteed amount was $11.6 million . We did not record an obligation for this guaranty because we determined that the fair value of the guaranty is not material. The guaranty expired during the second quarter of 2011 when JG Gulf Coast Town Center, LLC retired the construction loan.

Our guarantees and the related accounting are more fully described in Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In connection with the preparation of our financial statements, we are required to make assumptions and estimates about future events, and apply judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and the related disclosures. We base our assumptions, estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends and other factors that management believes to be relevant at the time our consolidated financial statements are prepared. On a regular basis, we review the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material.

An accounting policy is deemed to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made and if different estimates that are reasonably likely to occur could materially impact the financial statements. Management believes that the following critical accounting policies discussed in this section reflect its more significant estimates and assumptions used in preparation of the consolidated financial statements. We have reviewed these critical accounting estimates and related disclosures with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors. For a discussion of our significant accounting policies, see Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Revenue Recognition

Minimum rental revenue from operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the initial terms of the related leases. Certain tenants are required to pay percentage rent if their sales volumes exceed thresholds specified in their lease agreements. Percentage rent is recognized as revenue when the thresholds are achieved and the amounts become determinable.

Table of Contents

We receive reimbursements from tenants for real estate taxes, insurance, common area maintenance, and other recoverable operating expenses as provided in the lease agreements. Tenant reimbursements are recognized as revenue in the period the related operating expenses are incurred. Tenant reimbursements related to certain capital expenditures are billed to tenants over periods of 5 to 15 years and are recognized as revenue in accordance with underlying lease terms.

We receive management, leasing and development fees from third parties and unconsolidated affiliates. Management fees are charged as a percentage of revenues (as defined in the management agreement) and are recognized as revenue when earned. Development fees are recognized as revenue on a pro rata basis over the development period. Leasing fees are charged for newly executed leases and lease renewals and are recognized as revenue when earned. Development and leasing fees received from unconsolidated affiliates during the development period are recognized as revenue to the extent of the third-party partners’ ownership interest. Fees to the extent of our ownership interest are recorded as a reduction to our investment in the unconsolidated affiliate.

Gains on sales of real estate assets are recognized when it is determined that the sale has been consummated, the buyer’s initial and continuing investment is adequate, our receivable, if any, is not subject to future subordination, and the buyer has assumed the usual risks and rewards of ownership of the asset. When we have an ownership interest in the buyer, gain is recognized to the extent of the third party partner’s ownership interest and the portion of the gain attributable to our ownership interest is deferred.

Real Estate Assets

We capitalize predevelopment project costs paid to third parties. All previously capitalized predevelopment costs are expensed when it is no longer probable that the project will be completed. Once development of a project commences, all direct costs incurred to construct the project, including interest and real estate taxes, are capitalized. Additionally, certain general and administrative expenses are allocated to the projects and capitalized based on the amount of time applicable personnel work on the development project. Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Major replacements and improvements are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives.

All acquired real estate assets are accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting and accordingly, the results of operations are included in the consolidated statements of operations from the respective dates of acquisition. The purchase price is allocated to (i) tangible assets, consisting of land, buildings and improvements, as if vacant, and tenant improvements and (ii) identifiable intangible assets and liabilities generally consisting of above- and below-market leases and in-place leases. We use estimates of fair value based on estimated cash flows, using appropriate discount rates, and other valuation methods to allocate the purchase price to the acquired tangible and intangible assets. Liabilities assumed generally consist of mortgage debt on the real estate assets acquired. Assumed debt with a stated interest rate that is significantly different from market interest rates is recorded at its fair value based on estimated market interest rates at the date of acquisition.

Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over estimated lives of 40 years for buildings, 10 to 20 years for certain improvements and 7 to 10 years for equipment and fixtures. Tenant improvements are capitalized and depreciated on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease. Lease-related intangibles from acquisitions of real estate assets are amortized over the remaining terms of the related leases. The amortization of above- and below-market leases is recorded as an adjustment to minimum rental revenue, while the amortization of all other lease-related intangibles is recorded as amortization expense. Any difference between the face value of the debt assumed and its fair value is amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the debt using the effective interest method.

Carrying Value of Long-Lived Assets

We periodically evaluate long-lived assets to determine if there has been any impairment in their carrying values and record impairment losses if the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than their carrying amounts or if there are other indicators of impairment. If it is determined that impairment has occurred, the amount of the impairment charge is equal to the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its estimated fair value. We estimate fair value using the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by each Property, which are based on a number of assumptions such as leasing expectations, operating budgets, estimated useful lives, future maintenance expenditures, intent to hold for use and capitalization rates, among others. These assumptions are subject to economic and market uncertainties including, but not limited to, demand for space, competition for tenants, changes in market rental rates and costs to operate each Property. As these factors are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter our assumptions, the future cash flows estimated in our impairment analyses may not be achieved. As described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, we recorded impairment charges of $59.2 million, $40.2 million and $114.9 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Table of Contents

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We periodically perform a detailed review of amounts due from tenants to determine if accounts receivable balances are impaired based on factors affecting the collectibility of those balances. Our estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts requires significant judgment about the timing, frequency and severity of collection losses, which affects the allowance and net income. We recorded a provision for doubtful accounts of $1.7 million , $2.7 million and $5.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2011 , 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates

We evaluate our joint venture arrangements to determine whether they should be recorded on a consolidated basis. The percentage of ownership interest in the joint venture, an evaluation of control and whether a variable interest entity (“VIE”) exists are all considered in the consolidation assessment.

Initial investments in joint ventures that are in economic substance a capital contribution to the joint venture are recorded in an amount equal to our historical carryover basis in the real estate contributed. Initial investments in joint ventures that are in economic substance the sale of a portion of our interest in the real estate are accounted for as a contribution of real estate recorded in an amount equal to our historical carryover basis in the ownership percentage retained and as a sale of real estate with profit recognized to the extent of the other joint venturers’ interests in the joint venture. Profit recognition assumes that we have no commitment to reinvest with respect to the percentage of the real estate sold and the accounting requirements of the full accrual method are met.

We account for our investment in joint ventures where we own a non-controlling interest or where we are not the primary beneficiary of a VIE using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, our cost of investment is adjusted for our share of equity in the earnings of the unconsolidated affiliate and reduced by distributions received. Generally, distributions of cash flows from operations and capital events are first made to partners to pay cumulative unpaid preferences on unreturned capital balances and then to the partners in accordance with the terms of the joint venture agreements.

Any differences between the cost of our investment in an unconsolidated affiliate and our underlying equity as reflected in the unconsolidated affiliate’s financial statements generally result from costs of our investment that are not reflected on the unconsolidated affiliate’s financial statements, capitalized interest on our investment and our share of development and leasing fees that are paid by the unconsolidated affiliate to us for development and leasing services provided to the unconsolidated affiliate during any development periods. The net difference between our investment in unconsolidated affiliates and the underlying equity of unconsolidated affiliates is generally amortized over a period of 40 years.

On a periodic basis, we assess whether there are any indicators that the fair value of our investments in unconsolidated affiliates may be impaired. An investment is impaired only if our estimate of the fair value of the investment is less than the carrying value of the investment, and such decline in value is deemed to be other than temporary. To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss is measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the investment over the fair value of the investment. Our estimates of fair value for each investment are based on a number of assumptions such as future leasing expectations, operating forecasts, discount rates and capitalization rates, among others. These assumptions are subject to economic and market uncertainties including, but not limited to, demand for space, competition for tenants, changes in market rental rates, and operating costs. As these factors are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter our assumptions, the fair values estimated in the impairment analyses may not be realized.

During the year ended December 31, 2009, we incurred losses on impairments of investments totaling $9.3 million . We recorded a non-cash charge of $7.7 million in the first quarter of 2009 on our cost-method investment in Jinsheng, an established mall operating and real estate development company located in Nanjing, China, due to a decline in expected future cash flows. The projected decrease was a result of declining occupancy and sales due to the then downturn of the real estate market in China in early 2009. We also recorded impairment charges totaling $1.6 million related to our interest in Plaza Macaé in Macaé, Brazil to reflect the fair value of the investment upon sale.

No impairments of investments in unconsolidated affiliates were incurred during 2011 and 2010.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Guidance Adopted

Table of Contents

and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2010. We adopted the provisions of this guidance on January 1, 2010, except for the requirement related to Level 3 measurements, which we adopted January 1, 2011. The adoption of the remaining disclosure requirements of ASU 2010-06 did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In July 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-20, Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses (“ASU 2010-20”). ASU 2010-20 requires entities to provide extensive new disclosures in their financial statements about their financing receivables, including credit risk exposures and the allowance for credit losses. The new disclosures include information regarding credit quality, impaired or modified receivables, non-accrual or past due receivables and activity related to modified receivables and the allowance for credit losses. The guidance was effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2010, with the exception of the activity disclosures, which were effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. In January 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-01, Deferral of the Effective Date of Disclosures about Troubled Debt Restructurings in Update No. 2010-20 (“ASU 2011-01”). ASU 2011-01 delayed immediately the effective date for disclosures prescribed by ASU 2010-20 that relate to troubled debt restructurings. The adoption of the non-deferred disclosures prescribed by ASU 2010-20 did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-02, A Creditor's Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring (“ASU 2011-02”). ASU 2011-02 provides additional guidance to assist creditors in determining whether a restructuring of a receivable meets the criteria to be considered a troubled debt restructuring. A provision in ASU 2011-02 also ends the FASB's deferral of the additional disclosures about troubled debt restructurings as required by ASU 2010-20, which had previously been deferred by ASU 2011-01. For public entities, the guidance was effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and should be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the annual period of adoption. As a result of applying this guidance, an entity may identify receivables that are newly considered impaired. For purposes of measuring impairment of those receivables, an entity should apply the amendments prospectively for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Effective

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs ( “ASU 2011-04”). The objective of ASU 2011-04 is to align fair value measurements and related disclosure requirements under GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”), thus improving the comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. For public entities, this guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and should be applied prospectively. The adoption of ASU 2011-04 will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2011-05”). The objective of this accounting update is to improve the comparability, consistency, and transparency of financial reporting and to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income. This guidance eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. ASU 2011-05 requires that all non-owner changes in stockholders' equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but continuous statements of net income and other comprehensive income. For public entities, this guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and should be applied retrospectively. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05 (“ASU 2011-12”). This guidance defers the changes in ASU 2011-05 that relate to the presentation of reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income. Other requirements of ASU 2011-05 are not affected by ASU 2011-12. The guidance in ASU 2011-12 is effective at the same time as ASU 2011-05 so that entities will not be required to comply with the presentation requirements in ASU 2011-05 that ASU 2011-12 is deferring. While the adoption of ASU 2011-05 will change the presentation format of our consolidated financial statements, it will not have an impact on the amounts reported in those statements.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-10, Derecognition of in Substance Real Estate - a Scope Clarification (“ASU 2011-10”). This guidance applies to the derecognition of in substance real estate when the parent ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary that is in substance real estate because of a default by the subsidiary on its nonrecourse debt. Under ASU 2011-10, the reporting entity should apply the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 360-20, Property, Plant and Equipment - Real Estate Sales , to determine whether it should derecognize the in substance real estate. Generally, the requirements to derecognize in substance real estate would not be met before the legal transfer of the real estate to the lender and the extinguishment of the related nonrecourse indebtedness. Thus, even if the reporting entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest under ASC 810-10, Consolidation - Overall , it would continue to include the real estate, debt, and the results of the subsidiary's operations in its consolidated financial statements until legal title to the real estate is transferred to legally satisfy the debt. ASU 2011-10 should be applied on a prospective basis to deconsolidation events occurring after the

effective date. For public companies, this guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2012 . Early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the potential impact of the adoption of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

Impact of Inflation and Deflation

Deflation can result in a decline in general price levels, often caused by a decrease in the supply of money or credit. The predominant effects of deflation are high unemployment, credit contraction and weakened consumer demand. Restricted lending practices could impact our ability to obtain financings or refinancings for our properties and our tenants’ ability to obtain credit. Decreases in consumer demand can have a direct impact on our tenants and the rents we receive.

During inflationary periods, substantially all of our tenant leases contain provisions designed to mitigate the impact of inflation. These provisions include clauses enabling us to receive percentage rent based on tenants' gross sales, which generally increase as prices rise, and/or escalation clauses, which generally increase rental rates during the terms of the leases. In addition, many of the leases are for terms of less than 10 years, which may provide us the opportunity to replace existing leases with new leases at higher base and/or percentage rent if rents of the existing leases are below the then existing market rate. Most of the leases require the tenants to pay a fixed amount subject to annual increases for their share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes, insurance and certain capital expenditures, which reduces our exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation.

Funds From Operations

Funds From Operations (“FFO”) is a widely used measure of the operating performance of real estate companies that supplements net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) defines FFO as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding gains or losses on sales of operating properties, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures and noncontrolling interests. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures and noncontrolling interests are calculated on the same basis. In October 2011, NAREIT clarified that FFO should exclude the impact of losses on impairment of depreciable properties. The Company has calculated FFO for all periods presented in accordance with this clarification. We define FFO allocable to common shareholders as defined above by NAREIT less dividends on preferred stock. Our method of calculating FFO allocable to common shareholders may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs.

We believe that FFO provides an additional indicator of the operating performance of our Properties without giving effect to real estate depreciation and amortization, which assumes the value of real estate assets declines predictably over time. Since values of well-maintained real estate assets have historically risen with market conditions, we believe that FFO enhances investors’ understanding of our operating performance. The use of FFO as an indicator of financial performance is influenced not only by the operations of our Properties and interest rates, but also by our capital structure.

We present both FFO of our Operating Partnership and FFO allocable to common shareholders, as we believe that both are useful performance measures. We believe FFO of our Operating Partnership is a useful performance measure since we conduct substantially all of our business through our Operating Partnership and, therefore, it reflects the performance of the Properties in absolute terms regardless of the ratio of ownership interests of our common shareholders and the noncontrolling interest in our Operating Partnership. We believe FFO allocable to common shareholders is a useful performance measure because it is the performance measure that is most directly comparable to net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders.

In our reconciliation of net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders to FFO allocable to common shareholders that is presented below, we make an adjustment to add back noncontrolling interest in income (loss) of our Operating Partnership in order to arrive at FFO of our Operating Partnership. We then apply a percentage to FFO of our Operating Partnership to arrive at FFO allocable to common shareholders. The percentage is computed by taking the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and dividing it by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares and the weighted average number of Operating Partnership units outstanding during the period.

FFO does not represent cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP, is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow needs and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) for purposes of evaluating our operating performance or to cash flow as a measure of liquidity.

During 2011, we recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt from discontinued operations. Considering the significance and nature of this item, we believe that it is important to identify the impact of the change on our FFO measures for a reader to have a complete understanding of our results of operations. Therefore, we have also presented FFO excluding this item.

Table of Contents

FFO of the Operating Partnership increased 6.8% to $422.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to $394.8 million for the prior year. FFO in 2011 was positively impacted by the gain on extinguishment of $31.4 million.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to various market risk exposures, including interest rate risk and foreign exchange rate risk. The following discussion regarding our risk management activities includes forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainties. Estimates of future performance and economic conditions are reflected assuming certain changes in interest and foreign exchange rates. Caution should be used in evaluating our overall market risk from the information presented below, as actual results may differ. We employ various derivative programs to manage certain portions of our market risk associated with interest rates. See Note 6 of the notes to consolidated financial statements for further discussions of the qualitative aspects of market risk, regarding derivative financial instrument activity.

Interest Rate Risk

Based on our proportionate share of consolidated and unconsolidated variable-rate debt at December 31, 2011, a 0.5% increase or decrease in interest rates on variable rate debt would decrease or increase annual cash flows by approximately $4.5 million and $2.7 million, respectively and, annual interest expense, after the effect of capitalized interest, by approximately $4.5 and $2.7 million, respectively.

Based on our proportionate share of total consolidated and unconsolidated debt at December 31, 2011, a 0.5% increase in interest rates would decrease the fair value of debt by approximately $88.4 million, while a 0.5% decrease in interest rates would increase the fair value of debt by approximately $90.8 million.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Conclusion Regarding Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of its effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, these officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and concluded that, as of December 31, 2011 , we maintained effective internal control over financial reporting, as stated in our report which is included herein.

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011 has been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which is included herein in Item 15.

Report of Management On Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management of CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (the “Company”) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Management recognizes that there are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, including the potential for human error or the circumvention or overriding of internal controls. Accordingly, even effective internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. In addition, any projection of the evaluation of effectiveness to future periods is subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the polices or procedures may deteriorate.

Management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the framework established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and concluded that, as of December 31, 2011 , the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting.

Deloitte & Touche LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, has audited our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011 as stated in their report which is included herein in Item 15.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

CBL & Associates Properties, Inc.

Chattanooga, TN:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011. Our audits also included the financial statement schedules listed in the Index at Item 15. We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company's management is responsible for these financial statements and financial statement schedules, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Report of Management On Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedules and an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company's principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company's board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein. Also, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission .

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in thousands, except share data)

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION

CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. (“CBL”), a Delaware corporation, is a self-managed, self-administered, fully-integrated real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that is engaged in the ownership, development, acquisition, leasing, management and operation of regional shopping malls, open-air centers, community centers and office properties. Its shopping centers are located in 26 states, but are primarily in the southeastern and midwestern United States.

CBL conducts substantially all of its business through CBL & Associates Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”). As of December 31, 2011 , the Operating Partnership owned controlling interests in 74 regional malls/open-air centers, 29 associated centers (each located adjacent to a regional mall), eight community centers and 13 office buildings, including CBL’s corporate office building. The Operating Partnership consolidates the financial statements of all entities in which it has a controlling financial interest or where it is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. The Operating Partnership owned non-controlling interests in ten regional malls/ open-air centers , three associated centers, five community centers and six office buildings. Because one or more of the other partners have substantive participating rights, the Operating Partnership does not control these partnerships and joint ventures and, accordingly, accounts for these investments using the equity method. The Operating Partnership had controlling interests in two community center expansions and two mall redevelopments under construction at December 31, 2011 . The Operating Partnership also holds options to acquire certain development properties owned by third parties.

CBL is the 100% owner of two qualified REIT subsidiaries, CBL Holdings I, Inc. and CBL Holdings II, Inc. At December 31, 2011 , CBL Holdings I, Inc., the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, owned a 1.0% general partner interest in the Operating Partnership and CBL Holdings II, Inc. owned a 76.9% limited partner interest for a combined interest held by CBL of 77.9% .

The noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership is held primarily by CBL & Associates, Inc. and its affiliates (collectively “CBL’s Predecessor”) and by affiliates of The Richard E. Jacobs Group, Inc. (“Jacobs”). CBL’s Predecessor 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. Jacobs contributed their interests in certain real estate properties and joint ventures to the Operating Partnership in exchange for limited partner interests when the Operating Partnership acquired the majority of Jacobs’ interests in 23 properties in January 2001 and the balance of such interests in February 2002. At December 31, 2011 , CBL’s Predecessor owned a 9.8% limited partner interest, Jacobs owned a 6.9% limited partner interest and various third parties owned a 5.4% limited partner interest in the Operating Partnership. CBL’s Predecessor also owned 7.4 million shares of CBL’s common stock at December 31, 2011 , for a combined effective interest of 13.7% in the Operating Partnership.

The Operating Partnership conducts CBL’s property management and development activities through CBL & Associates Management, Inc. (the “Management Company”) to comply with certain requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The Operating Partnership owns 100% of both of the Management Company’s preferred stock and common stock.

CBL, the Operating Partnership and the Management Company are collectively referred to herein as “the Company.”

N OTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

Certain historical amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. The financial results of certain Properties are reported as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements. Except where noted, the information presented in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements excludes discontinued operations.

In 2011, the Company determined that certain impairment charges recorded in 2010 and 2009 were inappropriately classified in continuing operations rather than being reclassified to discontinued operations along with the other operating results of those properties after the properties were sold.

Table of Contents

In 2011, the Company recorded an accounting adjustment to its 2010 and 2009 financial statements to correct these misstatements. The accounting adjustment resulted in increases in income from continuing operations of $13,649 and $5,651 in 2010 and 2009, respectively, as well as a corresponding decrease in operating income from discontinued operations of $13,649 and $5,651 in 2010 and 2009, respectively. There was no impact on net income (loss) or net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders for 2010 and 2009.

We believe that the accounting adjustments described above, when considered individually or in the aggregate, are not material to the Company's consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2010 or 2009. In making this assessment, the Company has considered qualitative and quantitative factors, including the impact to the individual financial statement captions impacted for each period presented.

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date of issuance of these financial statements. See Note 20 for further discussion.

Accounting Guidance Adopted

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures: Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements (“ASU 2010-06”). ASU 2010-06 provides that significant transfers in or out of measurements classified as Levels 1 or 2 should be disclosed separately along with reasons for the transfers. Information regarding purchases, sales, issuances and settlements related to measurements classified as Level 3 are also to be presented separately. The guidance was effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, excluding the provision relating to the rollforward of Level 3 activity which was effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The Company adopted the provisions of this guidance on January 1, 2010, except for the requirement related to Level 3 measurements, which the Company adopted January 1, 2011. The adoption of the remaining disclosure requirements of ASU 2010-06 did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Effective

Table of Contents

with U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. For public entities, this guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and should be applied prospectively. The adoption of ASU 2011-04 will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2011-05”). The objective of this accounting update is to improve the comparability, consistency, and transparency of financial reporting and to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income. This guidance eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. ASU 2011-05 requires that all non-owner changes in stockholders' equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but continuous statements of net income and other comprehensive income. For public entities, this guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and should be applied retrospectively. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05 (“ASU 2011-12”). This guidance defers the changes in ASU 2011-05 that relate to the presentation of reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income. Other requirements of ASU 2011-05 are not affected by ASU 2011-12. The guidance in ASU 2011-12 is effective at the same time as ASU 2011-05 so that entities will not be required to comply with the presentation requirements in ASU 2011-05 that ASU 2011-12 is deferring. While the adoption of ASU 2011-05 will change the presentation format of the Company's consolidated financial statements, it will not have an impact on the amounts reported in those statements.

Real Estate Assets

The Company capitalizes predevelopment project costs paid to third parties. All previously capitalized predevelopment costs are expensed when it is no longer probable that the project will be completed. Once development of a project commences, all direct costs incurred to construct the project, including interest and real estate taxes, are capitalized. Additionally, certain general and administrative expenses are allocated to the projects and capitalized based on the amount of time applicable personnel work on the development project. Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Major replacements and improvements are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives.

All acquired real estate assets have been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting and accordingly, the results of operations are included in the consolidated statements of operations from the respective dates of acquisition. The Company allocates the purchase price to (i) tangible assets, consisting of land, buildings and improvements, as if vacant, and tenant improvements, and (ii) identifiable intangible assets and liabilities, generally consisting of above-market leases, in-place leases and tenant relationships, which are included in other assets, and below-market leases, which are included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The Company uses estimates of fair value based on estimated cash flows, using appropriate discount rates, and other valuation techniques to allocate the purchase price to the acquired tangible and intangible assets. Liabilities assumed generally consist of mortgage debt on the real estate assets acquired. Assumed debt is recorded at its fair value based on estimated market interest rates at the date of acquisition.

Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over estimated lives of 40 years for buildings, 10 to 20 years for certain improvements and 7 to 10 years for equipment and fixtures. Tenant improvements are capitalized and depreciated on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease. Lease-related intangibles from acquisitions of real estate assets are generally amortized over the remaining terms of the related leases. The amortization of above- and below-market leases is recorded as an adjustment to minimum rental revenue, while the amortization of all other lease-related intangibles is recorded as amortization expense. Any difference between the face value of the debt assumed and its fair value is amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the debt using the effective interest method.

Table of Contents

The Company’s acquired intangibles and their balance sheet classifications as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 , are summarized as follows:



	December 31, 2011					December 31, 2010
	Cost		Accumulated Amortization			Cost		Accumulated Amortization
Intangible lease assets and other assets:
Above-market leases	$	55,642	$	(33,954	)	$	69,405	$	(37,425	)
In-place leases	54,838		(36,753		)	68,770		(41,454		)
Tenant relationships	—		(651		)	56,803		(12,334		)
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities:
Below-market leases	66,627		(51,755		)	97,999		(66,370		)

These intangibles are related to specific tenant leases. Should a termination occur earlier than the date indicated in the lease, the related intangible assets or liabilities, if any, related to the lease are recorded as expense or income, as applicable. The decrease in net carrying value of acquired intangibles from December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2011 was primarily due to the deconsolidation of Oak Park Mall and West County Center in connection with the formation of CBL/T-C, LLC, a joint venture with TIAA-CREF described in Note 5. The total net amortization expense of the above acquired intangibles was $6,677 , $7,748 and $7,146 in 2011 , 2010 and 2009 , respectively. The estimated total net amortization expense for the next five succeeding years is $4,700 in 2012, $3,545 in 2013, $3,137 in 2014, $2,702 in 2015 and $2,260 in 2016.

Total interest expense capitalized was $4,955 , $3,334 and $6,807 in 2011 , 2010 and 2009 , respectively.

Carrying Value of Long-Lived Assets

The Company evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used when events or changes in circumstances warrant such a review. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired when its estimated future undiscounted cash flows are less than its carrying value. The Company estimates fair value using the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by each Property, which are based on a number of assumptions such as leasing expectations, operating budgets, estimated useful lives, future maintenance expenditures, intent to hold for use and capitalization rates. If it is determined that impairment has occurred, the amount of the impairment charge is equal to the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its estimated fair value. These assumptions are subject to economic and market uncertainties including, but not limited to, demand for space, competition for tenants, changes in market rental rates and costs to operate each Property. As these factors are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter the assumptions used, the future cash flows estimated in the Company’s impairment analyses may not be achieved.

The Company recorded a non-cash impairment of real estate in the fourth quarter of 2011 related to Oak Hollow Square in High Point, NC. This community center was classified as held for sale at December 31, 2011 and the Company recorded a non-cash impairment of real estate of $729 to write down the book value to the expected net sales price. The loss on impairment is recorded in discontinued operations in 2011. As described in Note 20, Oak Hollow Square was sold subsequent to December 31, 2011.

The Company recorded a non-cash impairment of real estate of $50,683 in the third quarter of 2011 related to Columbia Place in Columbia, SC, to write-down the depreciated book value as of September 30, 2011 from $56,746 to an estimated fair value of $6,063 as of the same date. Columbia Place has experienced declining cash flows as a result of changes in property-specific market conditions, which were further exacerbated by recent economic conditions, that have negatively impacted leasing activity and occupancy.

The Company recorded an impairment of real estate of $622 related to an outparcel that was sold in September 2011 for net proceeds after selling costs of $1,477 , which was less than its carrying amount of $2,099 .

The Company recorded a non-cash impairment of real estate of $4,457 in the second quarter of 2011 related to Settlers Ridge - Phase II in Robinson Township, PA, which was under construction at the time. The development is expected to be sold upon completion and stabilization and the loss was recorded to write down the carrying value of the Property to its estimated fair value. The fair value was estimated using the expected sales price and the projected book value of the completed Property.

Table of Contents

The revenues of Columbia Place and Settlers Ridge - Phase II accounted for less than 1.0% of total consolidated revenues for the year ended December 31, 2011. Columbia Place and Settlers Ridge -Phase II are included in the "Community Centers" and "Malls" segments, respectively. A reconciliation of each Property's carrying value for the year ended December 31, 2011 is as follows:



	Columbia Place			Settlers Ridge (Phase II)			Total
Beginning carrying value, January 1, 2011	$	58,207		$	12,461		$	70,668
Capital expenditures	142			8,850			8,992
Depreciation expense	(1,525		)	(270		)	(1,795		)
Loss on impairment of real estate	(50,683		)	(4,457		)	(55,140		)
Ending carrying value, December 31, 2011	$	6,141		$	16,584		$	22,725

In February 2011, we incurred a loss on impairment of real estate assets of $2,746 related to the disposition of Oak Hollow Mall in High Point, NC, to write down the book value of the Property to the net sales price. The loss on impairment is recorded in discontinued operations. As of June 30, 2010, the Company recorded a loss on impairment of real estate of $25,435 to write down the depreciated book value of Oak Hollow Mall to its then estimated fair value. A reconciliation of the Property’s carrying value for the year ended December 31, 2010 is as follows:



	Oak Hollow Mall
Beginning carrying value, January 1, 2010	$	37,287
Capital expenditures	516
Depreciation expense	(1,065		)
Loss on impairment of real estate	(25,435		)
Ending carrying value, December 31, 2010	$	11,303

Oak Hollow Mall generated insufficient income levels to cover the debt service on its fixed-rate non-recourse loan. The lender on the loan received the net operating cash flows of the Property each month in lieu of scheduled monthly mortgage payments. The Company sold this Property in February 2011. Net proceeds from the sale were used to retire the outstanding principal balance and accrued interest of $40,281 on the non-recourse loan secured by the property in accordance with the lender’s agreement to modify the outstanding principal balance and accrued interest to equal the net sales price for the property and, as a result, the Company recorded a gain on the extinguishment of debt of $31,434 in the first quarter of 2011. The gain on extinguishment is included in discontinued operations.

In December 2010, the Company incurred a loss on impairment of real estate assets of $12,363 due to a loss related to the sale of Milford Marketplace in Milford, CT, and the conveyance of ownership interest in phase I of Settlers Ridge in Robinson Township, PA, a loss of $1,286 attributable to the sale of Lakeview Pointe in Stillwater, OK, and a loss of $1,156 related to the sale of a parcel of land.

At December 31, 2009, it was determined that write-downs of the depreciated book values of three shopping centers to their estimated fair values was necessary, resulting in a non-cash loss on impairment of real estate assets of $114,862 for the year ended December 31, 2009. The affected shopping centers included Hickory Hollow Mall in Nashville (Antioch), TN, Pemberton Square in Vicksburg, MS, and Towne Mall in Franklin, OH, each of which was included in the “Malls” segment. Revenues of these shopping centers combined for the year ended December 31, 2009 accounted for approximately 1.0% of total consolidated revenues for 2009. A reconciliation of the shopping centers’ carrying values for the year ended December 31, 2009 is as follows:



	Hickory Hollow Mall			Pemberton Square			Towne Mall			Total
Beginning carrying value, January 1, 2009	$	110,794		$	7,338		$	16,197		$	134,329
Capital expenditures	168			146			24			338
Depreciation expense	(3,566		)	(389		)	(462		)	(4,417		)
Other	—			(14		)	—			(14		)
Loss on impairment of real estate	(94,879		)	(5,651		)	(14,332		)	(114,862		)
Ending carrying value, December 31, 2009	$	12,517		$	1,430		$	1,427		$	15,374

Table of Contents

Hickory Hollow Mall experienced declining income as a result of changes in the property-specific market conditions as well as increasing retail competition. Those declines were further exacerbated by poor economic conditions. As a result of the estimate of projected future cash flows, the Company determined that a write-down of the depreciated book value from $107,396 to an estimated fair value of $12,517 was appropriate. Hickory Hollow Mall generates insufficient income levels to cover the debt service on its fixed-rate recourse loan that had a balance of $25,058 as of December 31, 2011 . The Company retired this loan in February 2012.

Pemberton Square and Towne Mall also experienced declining property-specific market conditions. Due to uncertainty regarding the timing and approval of potential redevelopment projects to maximize the Properties’ cash flow positions, the Company determined that it was appropriate to write down Pemberton Square's depreciated book value of $7,081 to an estimated fair value of $1,430 as of December 31, 2009 and Towne Mall's depreciated book value of $15,759 to an estimated fair value of $1,427 as of December 31, 2009. Towne Mall was unencumbered. Pemberton Square was sold in October 2010.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less as cash equivalents.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash of $41,817 and $30,158 was included in intangible lease assets and other assets at December 31, 2011 and 2010 , respectively. Restricted cash consists primarily of cash held in escrow accounts for debt service, insurance, real estate taxes, capital improvements and deferred maintenance as required by the terms of certain mortgage notes payable, as well as contributions from tenants to be used for future marketing activities. The Company’s restricted cash included $117 as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 , and $13,689 as of December 31, 2009, related to funds held in a trust account for certain construction costs associated with one of our developments. Of the $13,689 held in trust as of December 31, 2009, $1,080 was restricted for use in retiring public bonds included in mortgage notes and other indebtedness.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company periodically performs a detailed review of amounts due from tenants to determine if accounts receivable balances are realizable based on factors affecting the collectibility of those balances. The Company’s estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts requires management to exercise significant judgment about the timing, frequency and severity of collection losses, which affects the allowance and net income. The Company recorded a provision for doubtful accounts of $1,743 , $2,712 and $5,132 for 2011 , 2010 and 2009 , respectively.

Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates

The Company evaluates its joint venture arrangements to determine whether they should be recorded on a consolidated basis. The percentage of ownership interest in the joint venture, an evaluation of control and whether a variable interest entity (“VIE”) exists are all considered in the Company’s consolidation assessment.

Initial investments in joint ventures that are in economic substance a capital contribution to the joint venture are recorded in an amount equal to the Company’s historical carryover basis in the real estate contributed. Initial investments in joint ventures that are in economic substance the sale of a portion of the Company’s interest in the real estate are accounted for as a contribution of real estate recorded in an amount equal to the Company’s historical carryover basis in the ownership percentage retained and as a sale of real estate with profit recognized to the extent of the other joint venturers’ interests in the joint venture. Profit recognition assumes the Company has no commitment to reinvest with respect to the percentage of the real estate sold and the accounting requirements of the full accrual method are met.

The Company accounts for its investment in joint ventures where it owns a non-controlling interest or where it is not the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, the Company’s cost of investment is adjusted for its share of equity in the earnings of the unconsolidated affiliate and reduced by distributions received. Generally, distributions of cash flows from operations and capital events are first made to partners to pay cumulative unpaid preferences on unreturned capital balances and then to the partners in accordance with the terms of the joint venture agreements.

Any differences between the cost of the Company’s investment in an unconsolidated affiliate and its underlying equity as reflected in the unconsolidated affiliate’s financial statements generally result from costs of the Company’s investment that are not reflected on the unconsolidated affiliate’s financial statements, capitalized interest on its investment and the Company’s share

Table of Contents

of development and leasing fees that are paid by the unconsolidated affiliate to the Company for development and leasing services provided to the unconsolidated affiliate during any development periods. At December 31, 2011 and 2010 , the net difference between the Company’s investment in unconsolidated affiliates and the underlying equity of unconsolidated affiliates was $2,456 and $4,384 , respectively, which is generally amortized over a period of 40 years.

On a periodic basis, the Company assesses whether there are any indicators that the fair value of the Company's investments in unconsolidated affiliates may be impaired. An investment is impaired only if the Company’s estimate of the fair value of the investment is less than the carrying value of the investment, and such decline in value is deemed to be other than temporary. To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss is measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the investment over the fair value of the investment. The Company's estimates of fair value for each investment are based on a number of assumptions that are subject to economic and market uncertainties including, but not limited to, demand for space, competition for tenants, changes in market rental rates, and operating costs. As these factors are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter the Company’s assumptions, the fair values estimated in the impairment analyses may not be realized.

During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company incurred losses on impairments of investments totaling $9,260 . The Company recorded a non-cash charge of $7,706 in the first quarter of 2009 on its cost-method investment in Jinsheng, an established mall operating and real estate development company located in Nanjing, China, due to a decline in expected future cash flows. The projected decrease was a result of declining occupancy and sales due to the downturn of the real estate market in China in early 2009. The Company also recorded impairment charges totaling $1,554 related to its interest in Plaza Macaé in Macaé, Brazil to reflect the fair value of the investment upon sale.

No impairments of investments in unconsolidated affiliates were recorded in 2011 and 2010. See Note 5 for further discussion.

Deferred Financing Costs

Net deferred financing costs of $27,674 and $18,257 were included in intangible lease assets and other assets at December 31, 2011 and 2010 , respectively. Deferred financing costs include fees and costs incurred to obtain financing and are amortized on a straight-line basis to interest expense over the terms of the related indebtedness. Amortization expense was $13,071 , $12,361 and $8,435 in 2011 , 2010 and 2009 , respectively. Accumulated amortization was $17,781 and $18,545 as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 , respectively.

Marketable Securities

Intangible lease assets and other assets include marketable securities consisting of corporate equity securities, mortgage / asset-backed securities, mutual funds and bonds that are classified as available for sale. Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities that are deemed to be temporary in nature are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in redeemable noncontrolling interests, shareholders’ equity and noncontrolling interests. Realized gains and losses are recorded in other income. Gains or losses on securities sold are based on the specific identification method. The Company recognized net realized losses on sales of available-for-sale securities of $22 and $114 in 2011 and 2010 , respectively. There were no realized gains or losses on sales of available-for-sale securities during 2009 .

If a decline in the value of an investment is deemed to be other than temporary, the investment is written down to fair value and an impairment loss is recognized in the current period to the extent of the decline in value. In determining when a decline in fair value below cost of an investment in marketable securities is other than temporary, the following factors, among others, are evaluated:


•	The probability of recovery.


•	The Company’s ability and intent to retain the security for a sufficient period of time for it to recover.


•	The significance of the decline in value.


•	The time period during which there has been a significant decline in value.


•	Current and future business prospects and trends of earnings.


•	Relevant industry conditions and trends relative to their historical cycles.


•	Market conditions.

Interest Rate Hedging Instruments

The Company recognizes its derivative financial instruments in either accounts payable and accrued liabilities or intangible lease assets and other assets, as applicable, in the consolidated balance sheets and measures those instruments at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value (i.e., gain or loss) of a derivative depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship, and further, on the type of hedging relationship. To qualify as a hedging instrument, a derivative must pass prescribed effectiveness tests, performed quarterly using both qualitative and quantitative methods. The Company has entered into derivative agreements as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 that qualify as hedging instruments and were designated, based upon the exposure being hedged, as cash flow hedges. The fair value of these cash flow hedges as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 was $(5,617) and $3 , respectively. To the extent they are effective, changes in the fair values of cash flow hedges are reported in other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged item affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the hedge, if any, is recognized in current earnings during the period of change in fair value. The gain or loss on the termination of an effective cash flow hedge is reported in other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged item affects earnings. The Company also assesses the credit risk that the counterparty will not perform according to the terms of the contract.

See Notes 6 and 15 for additional information regarding the Company’s interest rate hedging instruments.

Revenue Recognition

Table of Contents

The Company receives reimbursements from tenants for real estate taxes, insurance, common area maintenance, and other recoverable operating expenses as provided in the lease agreements. Tenant reimbursements are recognized when earned in accordance with the tenant lease agreements. Tenant reimbursements related to certain capital expenditures are billed to tenants over periods of 5 to 15 years and are recognized as revenue in accordance with underlying lease terms.

The Company receives management, leasing and development fees from third parties and unconsolidated affiliates. Management fees are charged as a percentage of revenues (as defined in the management agreement) and are recognized as revenue when earned. Development fees are recognized as revenue on a pro rata basis over the development period. Leasing fees are charged for newly executed leases and lease renewals and are recognized as revenue when earned. Development and leasing fees received from an unconsolidated affiliate during the development period are recognized as revenue only to the extent of the third-party partner’s ownership interest. Development and leasing fees during the development period to the extent of the Company’s ownership interest are recorded as a reduction to the Company’s investment in the unconsolidated affiliate.

Gains on Sales of Real Estate Assets

Gains on sales of real estate assets are recognized when it is determined that the sale has been consummated, the buyer’s initial and continuing investment is adequate, the Company’s receivable, if any, is not subject to future subordination, and the buyer has assumed the usual risks and rewards of ownership of the asset. When the Company has an ownership interest in the buyer, gain is recognized to the extent of the third party partner’s ownership interest and the portion of the gain attributable to the Company’s ownership interest is deferred.

Income Taxes

The Company is qualified as a REIT under the provisions of the Code. To maintain qualification as a REIT, the Company is required to distribute at least 90% of its taxable income to shareholders and meet certain other requirements.

As a REIT, the Company is generally not liable for federal corporate income taxes. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to federal and state income taxes on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates. Even if the Company maintains its qualification as a REIT, the Company may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property, and to federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income. State tax expense was $4,091 , $4,456 and $5,634 during 2011 , 2010 and 2009 , respectively.

The Company has also elected taxable REIT subsidiary status for some of its subsidiaries. This enables the Company to receive income and provide services that would otherwise be impermissible for REITs. For these entities, deferred tax assets and liabilities are established for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities at the enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is provided if the Company believes all or some portion of the deferred tax asset may not be realized. An increase or decrease in the valuation allowance that results from the change in circumstances that causes a change in our judgment about the realizability of the related deferred tax asset is included in income or expense, as applicable. The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $269 , $6,417 , and $1,222 in 2011 , 2010 , and 2009 respectively. The income tax benefit in 2011 consisted of a current income tax provision of $5,426 and a deferred income tax benefit of $5,695 . The income tax benefit in 2010 consisted of a current income tax benefit of $8,448 and a deferred income tax provision of $2,031 . The income tax benefit in 2009 consisted of a current income tax provision of $980 and a deferred income tax benefit of $2,202 ,

The Company had a net deferred tax asset of $8,012 and $7,074 at December 31, 2011 and 2010 , respectively. The net deferred tax asset at December 31, 2011 and 2010 is included in intangible lease assets and other assets and primarily consisted of operating expense accruals and differences between book and tax depreciation. As of December 31, 2011 , tax years that generally remain subject to examination by the Company’s major tax jurisdictions include 2008, 2009 and 2010.

The Company reports any income tax penalties attributable to its properties as property operating expenses and any corporate-related income tax penalties as general and administrative expenses in its statement of operations. In addition, any interest incurred on tax assessments is reported as interest expense. The Company reported nominal interest and penalty amounts in 2011, 2010 and 2009.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company’s tenants include national, regional and local retailers. Financial instruments that subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of tenant receivables. The Company generally does not obtain collateral or other security to support financial instruments subject to credit risk, but monitors the credit standing of tenants.

Table of Contents

The Company derives a substantial portion of its rental income from various national and regional retail companies; however, no single tenant collectively accounted for more than 3.3% of the Company’s total revenues in 2011 , 2010 or 2009 .

Earnings Per Share

Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS assumes the issuance of common stock for all potential dilutive common shares outstanding. The limited partners’ rights to convert their noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership into shares of common stock are not dilutive.

The following summarizes the impact of potential dilutive common shares on the denominator used to compute earnings per share:



	Year Ended December 31,
	2011	2010	2009
Denominator – basic earnings per share	148,289	138,375	106,366
Stock Options	3	2	—
Deemed shares related to deferred compensation arrangements	42	39	—
Denominator – diluted earnings per share	148,334	138,416	106,366

Stock options of 23 , 61 , and 504 shares for the years ended December 31, 2011 , 2010 , and 2009 , respectively, were excluded from the computations of diluted EPS because the effect of including the stock options would have been anti-dilutive. Because the Company incurred net losses during the year ended December 31, 2009, there are no potentially dilutive shares recognized in the number of diluted weighted average shares for EPS purposes due to their anti-dilutive nature. Had the Company reported net income for 2009, the denominator for diluted earnings per share would have been 106,403 , including 37 shares for the dilutive effect of deemed shares related to deferred compensation arrangements.

See Note 7 for information regarding significant equity offerings that affected per share amounts for each period presented.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income includes all changes in redeemable noncontrolling interests and total equity during the period, except those resulting from investments by shareholders and partners, distributions to shareholders and partners and redemption valuation adjustments. Other comprehensive income (loss) (“OCI/L”) includes changes in unrealized gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities, interest rate hedge agreements and foreign currency translation adjustments. The computation of comprehensive income is as follows:



	Year Ended December 31,
	2011			2010			2009
Net income (loss)	$	184,994		$	98,170		$	(7,065	)

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Company contributed its interests in CoolSprings Galleria and West County Center, as well as a partial interest in Oak Park Mall, and TIAA-CREF contributed cash of $222,242 . The contributed interests were encumbered by a total of $359,334 in mortgage loans. CBL/T-C used a portion of the contributed cash to acquire Pearland Town Center and the remaining interest in Oak Park Mall from the Company for an aggregate purchase price, including transaction costs, of $381,730 , consisting of $207,410 in cash and the assumption of a mortgage loan of $174,320 .

agreement provide that all major decisions, as defined, pertaining to Pearland Town Center require the approval of holders of 90% of the interests in Pearland Town Center and that capital contributions will be made on a pro rata basis in accordance with ownership percentages. The terms of the joint venture also provide that distributions of cash from Pearland Town Center will be made first to TIAA-CREF until it has received a preferred return equal to 8.0% , second to the Company until it has received a preferred return equal to 8.0% and then to the Company and TIAA-CREF pro rata according to ownership interests. Beginning on the second anniversary of CBL/T-C's formation, after TIAA-CREF receives its preferred return, TIAA-CREF will receive distributions until its aggregate unreturned contributions are reduced to $6,000 , before any cash distributions are eligible to be made to the Company. Also beginning on the second anniversary of CBL/T-C's formation, after TIAA-CREF has received its preferred return and its unreturned contributions are reduced to $6,000 , and after the Company receives its preferred return, all remaining cash distributions will be made to the Company until its aggregate unreturned contributions are reduced to $44,000 . Once the Company's aggregate unreturned contributions are reduced to $44,000 , all remaining distributions will be made to the Company and TIAA-CREF on a pro rata basis according to the ownership percentages.

The terms of the joint venture also provide that between the second and third anniversaries of CBL/T-C's formation, the Company may elect to purchase TIAA-CREF's interest in Pearland Town Center for a purchase price equal to the greater of (i) the fair value of TIAA-CREF's interest in Pearland Town Center as determined by an appraisal or (ii) TIAA-CREF's invested capital plus a preferred return equal to 8.0% .

The Company has accounted for the formation of CBL/T-C as the sale of a partial interest in the combined CoolSprings Galleria, Oak Park Mall and West County Center properties and recognized a gain on sale of real estate of $54,327 , which includes the impact of a reserve for future capital expenditures that the Company must fund related to parking decks at West County Center in the amount of $26,439 . The Company recorded its investment in CBL/T-C under the equity method of accounting at $116,397 , which represented its combined remaining 50% cost basis in the CoolSprings Galleria, Oak Park Mall and West County Center properties.

The Company determined that CBL/T-C's interest in Pearland Town Center represents a variable interest in such specified assets of a variable interest entity and have accounted for the Pearland Town Center property separately from the combined CoolSprings Galleria, Oak Park Mall and West County Center properties discussed above. The Company determined that, because it has the option to acquire TIAA-CREF's interest in Pearland Town Center in the future, it did not qualify as a partial sale and therefore, has accounted for the $18,264 contributed by TIAA-CREF attributable to Pearland Town Center as a financing. This amount is included in mortgage and other indebtedness in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Under the financing method, the Company continues to account for Pearland Town Center on a consolidated basis.

Upon maturity of the second note of $701 , due on June 8, 2010, the buyer requested additional time for payment. The Company and buyer agreed to revised terms regarding the second note of which the buyer pays monthly installments of $45 from July 2010 to June 2011, with a final balloon installment of $161 due in July 2011. Interest on the revised note is payable at maturity. In late 2011, the Company agreed that if buyer repaid the outstanding principal balance of the note, then the accrued and unpaid interest would be forgiven. As of December 31, 2011, the buyer had paid $579 of the outstanding balance of $657 . The Company had not recognized any of the accrued and unpaid interest as income due to the uncertainty that the amount would be collected.

Cost Method Investments

The Company owns a 6.2% noncontrolling interest in subsidiaries of Jinsheng Group (“Jinsheng”), an established mall operating and real estate development company located in Nanjing, China. As of December 31, 2011 , Jinsheng owns controlling interests in 12 home furnishing shopping malls.

The Company also holds a secured convertible promissory note in exchange secured by 16,565,534 Series 2 Ordinary Shares of Jinsheng. The secured note is non-interest bearing and matures upon the earlier to occur of (i) January 22, 2012, (ii) the closing of the sale, transfer or other disposition of substantially all of Jinsheng’s assets, (iii) the closing of a merger or consolidation of Jinsheng or (iv) an event of default, as defined in the secured note. In lieu of the Company’s right to demand payment on the maturity date, the Company may, at its sole option, convert the outstanding amount of the secured note into 16,565,534 Series A-2 Preferred Shares of Jinsheng (which equates to a 2.275% ownership interest). Subsequent to December 31, 2011 , the Company and Jinsheng amended the note to extend the Company's right to convert the outstanding amount of the secured note into the Series A-2 Preferred Shares to July 22, 2012, with an option to extend an additional six months to January 22, 2013. The amendment also provides that if Jinsheng should complete an initial public offering, the secured note will be converted into common shares of the public company immediately prior to the initial public offering. The Company can demand payment of the secured note at any time.

Jinsheng also granted the Company a warrant to acquire 5,461,165 Series A-3 Preferred Shares for $1,875 . The warrant expired on January 22, 2010 and had no value.

The Company accounts for its noncontrolling interest in Jinsheng using the cost method because the Company does not exercise significant influence over Jinsheng and there is no readily determinable market value of Jinsheng’s shares since they are not publicly traded. The Company initially recorded the secured note at its estimated fair value of $4,513 , which reflects a discount of $362 due to the fact that it is non-interest bearing. The discount was amortized to interest income over the term of the secured note using the effective interest method through March 2009, at which time the Company recorded an other-than-temporary impairment charge partially related to the secured note. See Note 15 for information regarding the fair value of the secured note and warrant. The noncontrolling interest and the secured note are reflected as investment in unconsolidated affiliates in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Table of Contents

As part of its investment review as of March 31, 2009, the Company determined that its noncontrolling interest in Jinsheng was impaired on an other-than-temporary basis due to a decline in expected future cash flows. The decrease resulted from declining occupancy rates and sales due to the then downturn of the real estate market in China. An impairment charge of $5,306 is recorded in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2009 to reduce the carrying value of the Company’s cost-method investment to its estimated fair value. The Company performed a quantitative and qualitative analysis of its noncontrolling investment as of December 31, 2011 and determined that the current balance of its investment is not impaired. A rollforward of the cost-method portion of the Company’s noncontrolling interest for the year ended December 31, 2009 is as follows:



Balance at January 1, 2009	$	10,125
Impairment loss recognized in earnings	(5,306		)
Balance at December 31, 2009	$	4,819

Secured Lines of Credit

The Company has three secured lines of credit that are used for mortgage retirement, working capital, construction and acquisition purposes, as well as issuances of letters of credit. Each of these lines is secured by mortgages on certain of the Company’s operating Properties. During the second and third quarters of 2011, the three secured facilities were modified to remove a floor of 1.50% on LIBOR. Pursuant to the terms of the modifications, borrowings under these secured lines of credit bear interest at LIBOR plus an applicable spread, ranging from 2.00% to 3.00% , based on the Company's leverage ratio. Without giving effect to actual LIBOR, the removal of the 1.50% floors and the reduction in the spreads resulted in a decrease in the interest rates on the $525,000 and $520,000 facilities of approximately 2.75% and on the $105,000 facility of approximately 2.50% , respectively. The Company also executed extensions on the maturity of each of the facilities. The three secured lines of credit had a weighted average interest rate of 3.03% at December 31, 2011 . The Company also pays fees based on the amount of unused availability under its secured lines of credit at rates ranging from 0.15% to 0.35% of unused availability.

Ratio	Required	Actual
Debt to Gross Asset Value	< 65%	51.4%
Interest Coverage	> 1.75x	2.45x

Table of Contents

and those facilities with which these agreements reference cross-default provisions may be accelerated and the lenders’ commitments may be terminated.

See Note 20 for further information regarding the non-recourse mortgage loan secured by Columbia Place located in Columbia, SC.

Interest Rate Hedging Instruments

The Company records its derivative instruments in its consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the derivative has been designated as a hedge and, if so, whether the hedge has met the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting.

The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish these objectives, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps and caps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. Interest rate caps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty if interest rates rise above the strike rate on the contract in exchange for an up-front premium.

Table of Contents

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as, and that qualify as, cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI/L”) and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. Such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with variable-rate debt.

During the first quarter of 2011, the Company entered into four pay fixed/receive variable interest rate swaps with an initial aggregate notional amount of $120,165 (amortizing to $100,009 ) to hedge the interest rate risk exposure on the borrowings on four of its operating properties equal to the aggregate swap notional amount. These interest rate swaps hedge the risk of changes in cash flows on the Company's designated forecasted interest payments attributable to changes in 1 -month LIBOR, the designated benchmark interest rate being hedged, thereby reducing exposure to variability in cash flows relating to interest payments on the variable-rate debt. The interest rate swaps effectively fix the interest payments on the portion of debt principal corresponding to the swap notional amount at a weighted average rate of 4.57% .

Also during the first quarter of 2011, the Company entered into an interest rate cap agreement with an initial notional amount of $64,265 (amortizing to $63,555 ) to hedge the risk of changes in cash flows on the letter of credit supporting certain bonds related to one of its operating properties equal to the then-outstanding cap notional. this interest rate cap agreement terminated in December 2011 when the related debt obligation was refinanced.

NOTE 8. REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS AND NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest and Noncontrolling Interests in the Operating Partnership

The redeemable noncontrolling interest and noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership are represented by common units and special common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership (the “Operating Partnership Units”) that the Company does not own.

Redeemable noncontrolling interest includes a noncontrolling partnership interest in the Operating Partnership for which the partnership agreement includes redemption provisions that may require the Company to redeem the partnership interest for real property. In July 2004, the Company issued 1,560,940 Series S special common units (“S-SCUs”), all of which are outstanding as of December 31, 2011 , in connection with the acquisition of Monroeville Mall. Under the terms of the Operating Partnership’s limited partnership agreement, the holder of the S-SCUs has the right to exchange all or a portion of its partnership interest for shares of the Company’s common stock or, at the Company’s election, their cash equivalent. This holder has the additional right to, at any time after the seventh anniversary of the issuance of the S-SCUs, require the Operating Partnership to acquire a qualifying property and distribute it to the holder in exchange for the S-SCUs. Generally, the acquisition price of the qualifying property cannot be more than the lesser of the consideration that would be received in a normal exchange, as discussed above, or $20,000 , subject to certain limited exceptions. Should the consideration that would be received in a normal exchange exceed the maximum

102

Table of Contents

property acquisition price as described in the preceding sentence, the excess portion of its partnership interest could be exchanged for shares of the Company’s stock or, at the Company’s election, their cash equivalent. The S-SCUs received a minimum distribution of $2.53825 per unit per year for the first five years, and receive a minimum distribution of $2.92875 per unit per year thereafter.

Noncontrolling interests include the aggregate noncontrolling partnership interest in the Operating Partnership that is not owned by the Company and for which each of the noncontrolling limited partners has the right to exchange all or a portion of its partnership interests for shares of the Company’s common stock, or at the Company’s election, their cash equivalent. When an exchange occurs, CBL assumes the noncontrolling limited partner’s ownership interests in the Operating Partnership. The number of shares of common stock received by a noncontrolling limited partner of the Operating Partnership upon exercise of its exchange rights will be equal, on a one -for- one basis, to the number of Operating Partnership Units exchanged by the noncontrolling limited partner. The amount of cash received by the noncontrolling limited partner, if CBL elects to pay cash, will be based on the five -day trailing average of the trading price at the time of exercise of the shares of common stock that would otherwise have been received by the noncontrolling limited partner in the exchange. Neither the noncontrolling limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership nor the shares of common stock of the Company are subject to any right of mandatory redemption.

In June 2005, the Company issued 571,700 L-SCUs, all of which are outstanding as of December 31, 2011 , in connection with the acquisition of Laurel Park Place. The L-SCUs receive a minimum distribution of $0.7572 per unit per quarter ( $3.0288 per unit per year). Upon the earlier to occur of June 1, 2020, or when the distribution on the common units exceeds $0.7572 per unit for four consecutive calendar quarters, the L-SCUs will thereafter receive a distribution equal to the amount paid on the common units.

In November 2005, the Company issued 1,144,924 K-SCUs, all of which are outstanding as of December 31, 2011 , in connection with the acquisition of Oak Park Mall, Eastland Mall and Hickory Point Mall. The K-SCUs received a dividend at a rate of 6.0% , or $2.85 per K-SCU, for the first year following the close of the transaction and receive a dividend at a rate of 6.25% , or $2.96875 per K-SCU, thereafter. When the quarterly distribution on the Operating Partnership’s common units exceeds the quarterly K-SCU distribution for four consecutive quarters, the K-SCUs will receive distributions at the rate equal to that paid on the Operating Partnership’s common units. At any time following the first anniversary of the closing date, the holders of the K-SCUs may exchange them, on a one -for- one basis, for shares of the Company’s common stock or, at the Company’s election, their cash equivalent.

On March 28, 2011, a holder of 125,100 J-SCU's exercised its conversion rights. The Company was requested to exchange common stock for these units, and elected to do so.

On March 31, 2011, the Company converted 15,435,754 J-SCUs, which represented all of the outstanding J-SCUs, to common units pursuant to its rights to do so. Prior to the conversion the J-SCUs received a minimum distribution equal to $0.3628125 per unit per quarter ( $1.45125 per unit per year), subject to certain adjustments if the distribution on the common units was equal to or less than $0.21875 for four consecutive quarters. After March 31, 2011, the common units issued in the conversion receive a distribution equal to that paid on all other common units.

Effective December 7, 2011, a holder of 331,230 common units exercised its conversion rights. The Company elected to pay cash for the common units and, subsequent to December 31, 2011, paid the holder $4,844 .

Also effective December 7, 2011, a holder of 70,094 common units exercised its conversion rights. The Company elected to pay cash for the common units and, subsequent to December 31, 2011, paid the holder $1,025 .

In December 2010, holders of 9,807,013 J-SCUs exercised their conversion rights. The Company was requested to exchange common stock for these units, and elected to do so.

No holders of special common units or common units of noncontrolling limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership exercised their conversion rights during 2009.

Table of Contents

Outstanding rights to convert redeemable noncontrolling interests and noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership to common stock were held by the following parties at December 31, 2011 and 2010 :



	December 31,
	2011	2010
Jacobs	13,044,407	13,106,525
CBL’s Predecessor	18,604,156	18,604,156
Third parties	10,368,016	10,430,998
Total Operating Partnership Units	42,016,579	42,141,679

The assets and liabilities allocated to the Operating Partnership’s redeemable noncontrolling interest and noncontrolling interests are based on their ownership percentages of the Operating Partnership at December 31, 2011 and 2010 . The ownership percentages are determined by dividing the number of Operating Partnership Units held by each of the redeemable noncontrolling interest and the noncontrolling interests at December 31, 2011 and 2010 by the total Operating Partnership Units outstanding at December 31, 2011 and 2010 , respectively. The redeemable noncontrolling interest ownership percentage in assets and liabilities of the Operating Partnership was 0.8% at December 31, 2011 and 2010 . The noncontrolling interest ownership percentage in assets and liabilities of the Operating Partnership was 21.3% and 21.4% at December 31, 2011 and 2010 , respectively.

Income is allocated to the Operating Partnership’s redeemable noncontrolling interest and noncontrolling interests based on their weighted average ownership during the year. The ownership percentages are determined by dividing the weighted average number of Operating Partnership Units held by each of the redeemable noncontrolling interest and noncontrolling interests by the total weighted average number of Operating Partnership Units outstanding during the year.

A change in the number of shares of common stock or Operating Partnership Units changes the percentage ownership of all partners of the Operating Partnership. An Operating Partnership Unit is considered to be equivalent to a share of common stock since it generally is exchangeable for shares of the Company’s common stock or, at the Company’s election, their cash equivalent. As a result, an allocation is made between redeemable noncontrolling interest, shareholders’ equity and noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership in the accompanying balance sheet to reflect the change in ownership of the Operating Partnership’s underlying equity when there is a change in the number of shares and/or Operating Partnership Units outstanding. During 2011 and 2010 , the Company allocated $3,005 and $3,139 , respectively, from shareholders’ equity to redeemable noncontrolling interest. During 2009 , the Company allocated $4,242 $0 from redeemable noncontrolling interest to shareholders’ equity. During 2011 and 2010 , the Company allocated $2,200 and $12,433 , respectively, from shareholders' equity to noncontrolling interest. During 2009, the Company allocated $7,942 from noncontrolling interests to shareholders' equity.

The total redeemable noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership was $26,036 and $28,070 at December 31, 2011 and 2010 , respectively. The total noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership was $202,833 and $217,519 at December 31, 2011 and 2010 , respectively.

On November 30, 2011, the Operating Partnership declared distributions of $1,143 and $9,418 to the Operating Partnership’s redeemable noncontrolling limited partners and noncontrolling limited partners, respectively. The distributions were paid on January 16, 2012. This distribution represented a distribution of $0.21 per unit for each common unit and $0.7322 to $0.7572 per unit for certain special common units in the Operating Partnership. The total distribution is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities at December 31, 2011 .

On December 1, 2010, the Operating Partnership declared distributions of $1,143 and $11,105 to the Operating Partnership’s redeemable noncontrolling limited partners and noncontrolling limited partners, respectively. The distributions were paid on January 18, 2011. This distribution represented a distribution of $0.20 per unit for each common unit and $0.3317 to $0.7572 per unit for certain special common units in the Operating Partnership. The total distribution is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities at December 31, 2010 .

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests and Noncontrolling Interests in Other Consolidated Subsidiaries

Each of the Company's mortgage notes receivable are collateralized by either a first mortgage, a second mortgage or by an assignment of 100% of the partnership interests that own the real estate assets. Other notes receivable include amounts due from tenants or government sponsored districts and unsecured notes received from third parties as whole or partial consideration for property or investments. Interest rates on mortgage and other notes receivable range from 2.8% to 13.0% , with a weighted average interest rate of 8.76% and 6.87% at December 31, 2011 and 2010 , respectively. Maturities of these notes receivable range from March 2012 to January 2047.

In September 2011, the Company and a noncontrolling interest investor purchased a mezzanine loan with a face amount of $5,879 for $5,300 , which represents a discount of $579 . The borrower under the mezzanine loan is an entity that owns an outlet shopping center located in Gettysburg, PA. The loan bears interest at the greater of LIBOR plus 900 basis points or 10% and matures on February 11, 2016. The terms of the mezzanine loan agreement provide that the Company and its noncontrolling interest investor may, subject to approval of the senior lender, convert the mezzanine loan into equity of the borrower. Upon conversion, the Company and noncontrolling investor would own 50.0% and 12.6% , respectively, of the borrower. The terms also provide that the Company may elect to acquire an additional 10% interest in borrower for a total interest of 60% .

In December 2011, the Company entered into a loan agreement pursuant to which the Company loaned $9,150 to an entity that owns an outlet shopping center located in El Paso, TX. The note receivable bears interest of 13.0% through June 9, 2013, and thereafter, at the greater of 13.0% or LIBOR plus 900 basis points . The loan matures upon the earlier of (i) 60 days prior to the maturity date of the senior loan on the outlet shopping center or (ii) the date on which the senior loan is fully repaid. The terms of the loan agreement provide that if the Company does not elect to acquire a 75% interest in the borrower, the Company can convert the loan into a non-voting common interest in the borrower, subject to the approval of the senior lender.

The Company reviews its mortgage and other notes receivable to determine if the balances are realizable based on factors affecting the collectibility of those balances. Factors may include credit quality, timeliness of required periodic payments, past due status and management discussions with obligors. During the first quarter of 2011, the Company was notified that a receivable due in March 2011 of $3,735 would not be repaid. The receivable was secured by land and, as such, the Company recorded an allowance for credit losses of $1,500 in other expense and wrote down the amount of the note receivable to the estimated fair value of the land. The Company did not accrue any interest on the receivable for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and has written off any interest that was accrued and outstanding on the loan. The Company gained title to the land during the third quarter of 2011 and reclassified the balance of the note receivable to land. During the third quarter of 2011 the Company wrote off a note receivable from a tenant in the amount of $400 . A rollforward of the allowance for credit losses for the year ended December 31, 2011 is as follows:

NOTE 14. CONTINGENCIES

On March 11, 2010, The Promenade D'Iberville, LLC (“TPD”), a subsidiary of the Company, filed a lawsuit in the Circuit Court of Harrison County, Mississippi, against M. Hanna Construction Co., Inc. (“M Hanna”), Gallet & Associates, Inc., LA Ash, Inc., EMJ Corporation (“EMJ”) and JEA (f/k/a Jacksonville Electric Authority), seeking damages for alleged property damage and related damages occurring at a shopping center development in D'Iberville, Mississippi. EMJ filed an answer and counterclaim denying liability and seeking to recover from TPD the retainage of approximately $327 allegedly owed under the construction contract. Kohl's Department Stores, Inc. (“Kohl's”) was granted permission to intervene in the lawsuit and, on April 13, 2011, filed a cross-claim against TPD alleging that TPD is liable to Kohl's for unspecified damages resulting from the actions of the defendants and for the failure to perform the obligations of TPD under a Site Development Agreement with Kohl's. Kohl's also made a claim against the Company which guaranteed the performance of TPD under the Site Development Agreement. The case is at the discovery stage.

The Company consolidates its investment in a joint venture, CW Joint Venture, LLC ("CWJV") with Westfield. The terms of the joint venture agreement require that CWJV pay an annual preferred distribution at a rate of 5.0% , which increases to 6.0% on July 1, 2013, on the preferred liquidation value of the PJV units of CWJV that are held by Westfield. Westfield has the right to have all or a portion of the PJV units redeemed by CWJV with property owned by CWJV, and subsequent to October 16, 2012, with either cash or property owned by CWJV, in each case for a net equity amount equal to the preferred liquidation value of the PJV units. At any time after January 1, 2013, Westfield may propose that CWJV acquire certain qualifying property that would be used to redeem the PJV units at their preferred liquidation value. If CWJV does not redeem the PJV units with such qualifying property (a “Preventing Event”), then the annual preferred distribution rate on the PJV units increases to 9.0% beginning July 1, 2013. The Company will have the right, but not the obligation, to offer to redeem the PJV units from January 31, 2013 through January 31, 2015 at their preferred liquidation value, plus accrued and unpaid distributions. If the Company fails to make such an offer, the annual preferred distribution rate on the PJV units increases to 9.0% for the period from July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2016, at which time it decreases to 6.0% if a Preventing Event has not occurred. If, upon redemption of the PJV units, the fair value of the Company’s common stock is greater than $32.00 per share, then such excess (but in no case greater than $26,000 in the aggregate) shall be added to the aggregate preferred liquidation value payable on account of the PJV units. The Company accounts for this contingency using the method prescribed for earnings or other performance measure contingencies. As such, should this contingency result in additional consideration to Westfield, the Company will record the current fair value of the consideration issued as a purchase price adjustment at the time the consideration is paid or payable.

Guarantees

The Company may guarantee the debt of a joint venture primarily because it allows the joint venture to obtain funding at a lower cost than could be obtained otherwise. This results in a higher return for the joint venture on its investment, and a higher return on the Company’s investment in the joint venture. The Company may receive a fee from the joint venture for providing the guaranty. Additionally, when the Company issues a guaranty, the terms of the joint venture agreement typically provide that the Company may receive indemnification from the joint venture or have the ability to increase its ownership interest.

The Company owns a parcel of land in Lee's Summit, MO that it is ground leasing to a third party development company. The third party developed and operates a shopping center on the land parcel. The Company has guaranteed 27% of the third party’s construction loan and bond line of credit (the “loans”) of which the initial maximum guaranteed amount was $24,379 . During 2011, the loans were partially paid down and amended such that the Company's maximum guaranteed amount, representing 27% of capacity, is now approximately $18,615 . The Company recorded an obligation of $192 and $315 , respectively, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 to reflect the estimated fair value of the guaranty. The total amount outstanding at December 31, 2011 on the loans was $60,880 of which the Company has guaranteed $16,437 .

The Company has guaranteed 100% of the construction and land loans of West Melbourne I, LLC (“West Melbourne”), an unconsolidated affiliate in which the Company owns a 50% interest, of which the maximum guaranteed amount is $45,736 . West Melbourne developed and operates Hammock Landing, a community center in West Melbourne, FL. The total amount outstanding on the loans at December 31, 2011 was $45,736 . The guaranty will expire upon repayment of the debt. The land loan and the construction loan, each representing $3,249 and $42,487 , respectively, of the amount outstanding at December 31, 2011 , mature in November 2013. The Company recorded an obligation of $478 and $670 in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 , respectively, to reflect the estimated fair value of this guaranty.

The Company has guaranteed 100% of the construction loan of Port Orange I, LLC (“Port Orange”), an unconsolidated affiliate in which the Company owns a 50% interest, of which the maximum guaranteed amount is $96,102 . Port Orange developed and operates The Pavilion at Port Orange, a community center in Port Orange, FL. The total amount outstanding at December 31, 2011 on the loan was $68,282 . The guaranty will expire upon repayment of the debt. The loan matures in March 2012 and has a one -year extension option available. The Company has recorded an obligation of $961 and $1,120 in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 , respectively, to reflect the estimated fair value of this guaranty.

The Company has guaranteed the lease performance of York Town Center, LP (“YTC”), an unconsolidated affiliate in which we own a 50% interest, under the terms of an agreement with a third party that owns property as part of York Town Center. Under the terms of that agreement, YTC is obligated to cause performance of the third party’s obligations as landlord under its lease with its sole tenant, including, but not limited to, provisions such as co-tenancy and exclusivity requirements. Should YTC fail to cause performance, then the tenant under the third party landlord’s lease may pursue certain remedies ranging from rights to terminate its lease to receiving reductions in rent. The Company has guaranteed YTC’s performance under this agreement up to a maximum of $22,000 , which decreases by $800 annually until the guaranteed amount is reduced to $10,000 . The guaranty expires on December 31, 2020. The maximum guaranteed obligation was $18,000 as of December 31, 2011 . The Company entered into an agreement with its joint venture partner under which the joint venture partner has agreed to reimburse the Company 50% of any amounts it is obligated to fund under the guaranty. The Company did not record an obligation for this guaranty because

it determined that the fair value of the guaranty is not material.

The Company guaranteed 100% of a construction loan of JG Gulf Coast Town Center, LLC, an unconsolidated affiliate in which the Company owns a 50% interest, of which the maximum guaranteed amount was $11,561 . The Company did not record an obligation for this guaranty because it determined that the fair value of the guaranty was not material. The guaranty expired during the second quarter of 2011 when JG Gulf Coast Town Center, LLC retired the loan.

Performance Bonds

The Company has issued various bonds that it would have to satisfy in the event of non-performance. The total amount outstanding on these bonds was $11,156 and $26,250 at December 31, 2011 and 2010 , respectively.

Ground Leases

The Company is the lessee of land at certain of its Properties under long-term operating leases, which include scheduled increases in minimum rents. The Company recognizes these scheduled rent increases on a straight-line basis over the initial lease terms. Most leases have initial terms of at least 20 years and contain one or more renewal options, generally for a minimum of five - or 10 -year periods. Lease expense recognized in the consolidated statements of operations for 2011 , 2010 and 2009 was $2,137 , $1,760 and $2,176 , respectively.

The future obligations under these operating leases at December 31, 2011 , are as follows:



2012	$	813

NOTE 15. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company has categorized its financial assets and financial liabilities that are recorded at fair value into a hierarchy based on whether the inputs to valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. The fair value hierarchy contains three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value as follows:

Level 1 – Inputs represent quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities as of the measurement date.

Level 2 – Inputs, other than those included in Level 1, represent observable measurements for similar instruments in active markets, or identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and observable measurements or market data for instruments with substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 – Inputs represent unobservable measurements, supported by little, if any, market activity, and require considerable assumptions that are significant to the fair value of the asset or liability. Market valuations must often be determined using discounted cash flow methodologies, pricing models or similar techniques based on the Company’s assumptions and best judgment.

The following tables set forth information regarding the Company’s financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 :

The Company recognizes transfers in and out of every level at the end of each reporting period. There were no transfers between Levels 1 and 2 during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 .

The following table provides a reconciliation of changes between the beginning and ending balances of items measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the tables above that used significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):



	Available For Sale Securities - Government and government sponsored entities
Balance at 12/31/2010	$	—
Additions	13,371
Unrealized loss included in comprehensive income	(1,542		)
Balance at 12/31/2011	$	11,829

There were no changes in the $2,475 classified as privately held debt and equity securities (Level 3) for the period from December 31, 2009 through December 31, 2011 .

Intangible lease assets and other assets in the consolidated balance sheets include marketable securities consisting of corporate equity securities, mortgage/asset-backed securities, mutual funds and bonds that are classified as available for sale. Net unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities that are deemed to be temporary in nature are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in redeemable noncontrolling interests, shareholders’ equity and noncontrolling interests. During the year ended December 31, 2011 , the Company recognized realized losses of $22 related to sales of marketable securities. The fair value of the Company’s available-for-sale securities is based on quoted market prices and, thus, is classified under Level 1. During 2009 , it was determined that certain corporate equity securities were impaired on an other-than-temporary basis. Due to this, the Company recognized total write-downs of $17,181 during the year ended December 31, 2009 to reduce the carrying value of those investments to their total fair value of $4,209 . During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 , the Company did not recognize any write-downs for other-than-temporary impairments. The fair value of the Company’s available-for-sale securities is based on quoted market prices and, thus, is classified under Level 1. See Note 2 for a summary of the available-for-sale securities held by the Company.

In February 2007, the Company received a secured convertible promissory note from, and a warrant to acquire shares of, Jinsheng, in which the Company also holds a cost- method investment. See Note 5 for additional information. The secured convertible note is non-interest bearing and is secured by shares of Jinsheng. Since the secured convertible note is non-interest bearing and there is no active market for Jinsheng’s debt, the Company performed an analysis on the note considering credit risk and discounting factors to determine the fair value. The warrant was initially valued using estimated share price and volatility variables in a Black Scholes model. Due to the significant estimates and assumptions used in the valuation of the note and warrant, the Company has classified these under Level 3. As part of its investment review as of March 31, 2009, the Company determined that its investment in Jinsheng was impaired on an other-than-temporary basis due to a decline in expected future cash flows as a result of declining occupancy and sales related to the then downturn of the real estate market in China. An impairment charge of $2,400 is recorded in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2009 to reduce the carrying values of the secured convertible note and warrant to their estimated fair values. The warrant expired in January 2010 and had no value. The Company performed qualitative and quantitative analyses of its investment as of December 31, 2011 and determined that the current balance of the secured convertible note of $2,475 is not impaired.

The Company uses interest rate swaps and caps to mitigate the effect of interest rate movements on its variable-rate debt. The Company had four interest rate swaps and one interest rate cap as of December 31, 2011 and one interest rate cap as of December 31, 2010 that qualify as hedging instruments and are designated as cash flow hedges. The interest rate caps are included in intangible lease assets and other assets and the interest rate swaps are reflected in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The swaps and cap have predominantly met the effectiveness test criteria since inception and changes in their fair values are, thus, primarily reported in other comprehensive income (loss) and are reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged item affects earnings. The fair values of the Company’s interest rate hedges, classified under Level 2, are determined using a proprietary model which is based on prevailing market data for contracts with matching durations, current and anticipated LIBOR or other interest basis information, consideration of the Company’s credit standing, credit risk of the counterparties and reasonable estimates about relevant future market conditions. See Notes 2 and 6 for additional information regarding the Company’s interest rate hedging instruments.

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are reasonable estimates of their fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments. Based on the interest rates for similar financial instruments, the carrying value of mortgage and other notes receivable is a reasonable estimate of fair value. The fair value of mortgage and other indebtedness was $4,836,028 and $5,709,860 at December 31, 2011 and 2010 , respectively. The fair value was calculated by discounting future cash flows for the notes payable using estimated market rates at which similar loans would be made currently.

The following tables set forth information regarding the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis:

In accordance with the Company's impairment review process described in Note 2, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment of real estate of $50,683 in the third quarter of 2011 related to Columbia Place in Columbia, SC, to write-down the depreciated book value as of September 30, 2011 from $56,746 to an estimated fair value of $6,063 as of the same date. Columbia Place has experienced declining cash flows as a result of changes in property-specific market conditions, which were further exacerbated by the recent economic conditions, that have negatively impacted leasing activity and occupancy.

The Company recorded a non-cash impairment of real estate of $4,457 during the second quarter of 2011 related to Settlers Ridge Phase II, which was under construction at June 30, 2011. The Property had a carrying value of $19,330 as of June 30, 2011 that was written down to its estimated fair value of $14,873 as of the same date.

In accordance with the Company’s impairment review process procedures described in Note 5, a cost-method investment with a carrying amount of $10,125 as of March 31, 2009 was written down to its estimated fair value of $4,819 as of same date, resulting in a loss on investment of $5,306 during 2009. See Note 5 for additional information.

NOTE 16. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company maintains the CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. Second Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, which permits the Company to issue stock options and common stock to selected officers, employees and directors of the Company up to a total of 10,400 shares. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”) administers the plan.

The share-based compensation cost that was charged against income for the plan was $1,687 , $2,201 and $2,797 for 2011 , 2010 and 2009 , respectively. Share-based compensation cost resulting from share-based awards is recorded at the Management Company, which is a taxable entity. The income tax effect resulting from share-based compensation of $1,815 in 2010 has been reflected as a financing cash flow in the consolidated statements of cash flows. There was no income tax benefit in 2011 and 2009 . Share-based compensation cost capitalized as part of real estate assets was $166 , $169 and $288 in 2011 , 2010 and 2009 , respectively.

Stock Options

Stock options issued under the plan allow for the purchase of common stock at the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant. Stock options granted to officers and employees vest and become exercisable in equal installments on each of the first five anniversaries of the date of grant and expire 10 years after the date of grant. Stock options granted to independent directors are fully vested upon grant; however, the independent directors may not sell, pledge or otherwise transfer their stock options during their board term or for one year thereafter. No stock options have been granted since 2002.

Stock Awards

Under the plan, common stock may be awarded either alone, in addition to, or in tandem with other stock awards granted under the plan. The Committee has the authority to determine eligible persons to whom common stock will be awarded, the number of shares to be awarded and the duration of the vesting period, as defined. Generally, an award of common stock vests either immediately at grant, in equal installments over a period of five years or in one installment at the end of periods up to five years. Stock awarded to independent directors is fully vested upon grant; however, the independent directors may not transfer such shares during their board term or for one year thereafter. The Committee may also provide for the issuance of common stock under the plan on a deferred basis pursuant to deferred compensation arrangements. The fair value of common stock awarded under the plan is determined based on the market price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date and the related compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period on a straight-line basis.

A summary of the status of the Company’s stock awards as of December 31, 2011 , and changes during the year ended December 31, 2011 , is presented below:



	Shares		Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value
Nonvested at January 1, 2011	187,140		$	18.43
Granted	179,750		$	17.48
Vested	(71,980	)	$	25.66
Forfeited	(5,620	)	$	16.65
Nonvested at December 31, 2011	289,290		$	16.09

The weighted average grant-date fair value of shares granted during 2011 , 2010 and 2009 was $17.48 , $10.34 and $5.37 , respectively. The total fair value of shares vested during 2011 , 2010 and 2009 was $1,276 , $914 and $1,338 , respectively.

As of December 31, 2011 , there was $3,028 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock awards granted under the plan, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.5 years. In February 2012, the Company granted 189,650 shares of restricted stock to its employees that will vest over the next five years.

NOTE 17. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

401(k) Plan

The Management Company maintains a 401(k) profit sharing plan, which is qualified under Section 401(a) and Section 401(k) of the Code to cover employees of the Management Company. All employees who have attained the age of 21 and have completed at least 90 days of service are eligible to participate in the plan. The plan provides for employer matching contributions on behalf of each participant equal to 50% of the portion of such participant’s contribution that does not exceed 2.5% of such participant’s compensation for the plan year. Additionally, the Management Company has the discretion to make additional profit-sharing-type contributions not related to participant elective contributions. Total contributions by the Management Company were $820 , $957 and $840 in 2011 , 2010 and 2009 , respectively.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Company maintains an employee stock purchase plan that allows eligible employees to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock in the open market without incurring brokerage or transaction fees. Under the plan, eligible employees make payroll deductions that are used to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. The shares are purchased at the prevailing market price of the stock at the time of purchase.

Deferred Compensation Arrangements

The Company has entered into agreements with certain of its officers that allow the officers to defer receipt of selected salary increases and/or bonus compensation for periods ranging from 5 to 10 years. For certain officers, the deferred compensation arrangements provide that when the salary increase or bonus compensation is earned and deferred, shares of the Company’s common stock issuable under the Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan are deemed set aside for the amount deferred. The number of shares deemed set aside is determined by dividing the amount of compensation deferred by the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the deferral date, as defined in the arrangements. The shares set aside are deemed to receive dividends equivalent to those paid on the Company’s common stock, which are then deemed to be reinvested in the Company’s common stock in accordance with the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan. When an arrangement terminates, the Company will issue shares of the Company’s common stock to the officer equivalent to the number of shares deemed to have accumulated under the officer’s arrangement. The Company accrues compensation expense related to these agreements as the compensation is earned during the term of the agreement.

At December 31, 2011 and 2010 , there were 68,906 and 65,488 shares, respectively, that were deemed set aside in accordance with these arrangements.

For other officers, the deferred compensation arrangements provide that their bonus compensation is deferred in the form of a note payable to the officer. Interest accumulates on these notes at 5.0% . When an arrangement terminates, the note payable plus accrued interest is paid to the officer in cash. At December 31, 2011 and 2010 , the Company had notes payable, including accrued interest, of $81 and $53 , respectively, related to these arrangements.

NOTE 18. OPERATING PARTNERSHIP

The Company presents the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Operating Partnership since substantially all of the Company’s business is conducted through it and, therefore, it reflects the financial position and performance of the Company’s Properties in absolute terms regardless of the ownership interests of the Company’s common shareholders and the noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership.

NOTE 20. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In January 2012, the Company entered into a $125,000 interest rate cap agreement (amortizing to $122,375 ) to hedge the risk of changes in cash flows on the borrowings of one of its properties equal to the cap notional. The interest rate cap protects the Company from increases in the hedged cash flows attributable to overall changes in 3-month LIBOR above the strike rate of the cap on the debt. The strike rate associated with the interest rate cap is 5.00% . The cap matures in January 2014 .

Subsequent to December 31, 2011 , the Company retired ten operating property loans with an aggregate balance of $215,372 .

In January 2012, the Company sold Oak Hollow Square, a community center located in High Point, NC, for a gross sales price of $14,247 . Net proceeds from the sale were used to reduce the outstanding balance on the Company's unsecured term loan that had outstanding borrowings of $181,590 at December 31, 2011. As described in Note 2, Oak Hollow Square was classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2011 and a loss on impairment of $729 was recognized in 2011 to write down the book value to the expected net sales price.

In January 2012, the Company announced that it had formed a 75 / 25 joint venture with Horizon Group Properties, Inc. to develop The Outlet Shoppes at Atlanta in Atlanta (Woodstock), GA.

In February 2012, the lender of the non-recourse mortgage loan secured by Columbia Place in Columbia, SC notified the Company that the loan had been placed in default. Columbia Place generates insufficient income levels to cover the debt service on the mortgage, which had a balance of $27,349 at December 31, 2011 and a contractual maturity date of September 2013. The carrying value of Columbia Place was $6,088 at December 31, 2011 .
