(1) ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Overview

Copper Property CTL Pass Through Trust, a New York common law trust (the “Trust,” “we,” “our” or “us”) was formed on December 21, 2020, in connection with the reorganization of Old Copper Company, Inc. (f/k/a J. C. Penney Company, Inc.) (“Old Copper”), effective as of January 30, 2021 (the “Effective Date”) pursuant to the terms of the Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization of Old Copper and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”) (the “Plan of Reorganization”).

On the Effective Date, through separate wholly-owned property holding companies (the "PropCos"), the Trust acquired 160 retail properties (the “Retail Properties”) and six distribution centers (the “Warehouses” and, together with the Retail Properties, the “Properties”) all of which were leased under two Master Leases (as discussed in Note 3) to one or more subsidiaries of Copper Retail JV LLC (“OpCo Purchaser”) (collectively with its subsidiaries, “Penney Intermediate Holdings LLC”), an entity formed by and under the joint control of Simon Property Group, L.P. and Brookfield Asset Management Inc. Specifically, the PropCos include (i) CTL Propco I LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, CTL Propco I L.P., a Delaware limited partnership and CTL Propco PR I LLC and CTL Propco PR II LLC, Puerto Rico limited liability companies, which collectively own the fee simple or ground leasehold title (as applicable) to the Retail Properties and (ii) CTL Propco II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and CTL Propco II L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, which collectively owned the fee simple title to the Warehouses. During 2021, the Trust sold all six Warehouses and in 2022, CTL Propco II LLC and CTL Propco II L.P. were dissolved.

The Trust’s operations consist solely of (i) owning the Properties and interests as lessee of land under non-cancellable ground leases, (ii) leasing the Properties under the terms of the Retail Master Lease to Penney Intermediate Holdings LLC as the sole tenant and (iii) subject to market conditions and the conditions set forth in the Trust Agreement (as defined below), selling the Properties to third-party purchasers through the PropCos.

As of September 30, 2024, the real estate portfolio consists of 125 Retail Properties, of which 21 are encumbered by ground leases, in the United States (the "U.S.") across 35 states and Puerto Rico, and comprise 16.6 million square feet of leasable space. As of September 30, 2024, two Retail Properties totaling 341 thousand square feet of leasable space within the real estate portfolio were classified as held for sale.

Trust Agreement

The Amended and Restated Trust Agreement (as amended, the “Trust Agreement”) created a series of equity trust certificates designated as “Copper Property CTL Pass Through Certificates” (the “Trust Certificates”), 75,000,000 of which were issued on the Effective Date. Each Trust Certificate represents a fractional undivided beneficial interest in the Trust and represents the interests of the holders of the Trust Certificates (“Certificateholders”) in the Trust.

Subject to the following sentence, the Trust shall terminate no later than January 30, 2026. If upon this date, the Trust owns any Retail Properties, the Manager (defined below) may take action, with the consent of the majority of the Certificateholders, to (a) extend the Trust for a fixed period to facilitate the complete liquidation of the properties; or (b) to convert one or more PropCos to a real estate investment trust (or "REIT") and take action to list the securities of such PropCos on an internationally-recognized stock exchange. As of September 30, 2024, the Trust has not yet committed to an extension or plan for conversion but will continue to evaluate its options.

GLAS Trust Company, LLC, as the Trust's independent third-party trustee (the "Trustee") pursuant to the terms of the Trust Agreement, performs trust administration duties, including treasury management and certificate administration, and earns trustee fees.

The Trust pays the Manager a base management fee (the “Base Fee”) and a fee for each property sold (the “Asset Management Fee”). The Base Fee is an amount equal to the greater of 5.75 % of the lease payments of the Properties per month and $ 333 per month.

(3) LEASES

Leases as Lessor

The Retail Properties are leased pursuant to a single retail master lease (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Retail Master Lease”) and the Warehouses were leased pursuant to a single distribution center master lease (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “DC Master Lease”; together with the Retail Master Lease, the “Master Leases” and individually, each a “Master Lease”). On the Effective Date, Penney Intermediate Holdings LLC assigned all of its right, title and interest as lessor under the Master Leases to the applicable PropCo. Each of the Master Leases has an initial term of 20 years that commenced on December 7, 2020 and is classified as an operating lease. Upon the sale of the Warehouses in December 2021, the Trust assigned all of its right, title and interest as lessor in the DC Master Lease to the purchaser. The Trust receives monthly base rent pursuant to the Master Leases, which was 50 % abated through December 31, 2021 for each of the Retail Properties. At the beginning of the third lease year, base rent under the Retail Master Lease increases annually based on changes in the consumer price index (subject to a maximum 2 % increase per year). Pursuant to the Retail Master Lease, lease payments increased in December 2023 based on changes in the consumer price index ("CPI").

The Master Lease requires direct payment of all operating expenses, real estate taxes, ground lease payments (where applicable), capital expenditures and common area maintenance costs by Penney Intermediate Holdings LLC and allows for lessor reimbursement if amounts are not directly paid. Expenses paid directly by Penney Intermediate Holdings LLC are not included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, except for ground lease payments made by Penney Intermediate Holdings LLC, since recording cash payments made by Penney Intermediate Holdings LLC is necessary to relieve amounts due to the ground lessor included in the ground lease

liabilities. Ground lease payments made by Penney Intermediate Holdings LLC of $ 3,089 and $ 3,035 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, were paid directly to the ground lessor by Penney Intermediate Holdings LLC and were included in “Lease income” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

As of September 30, 2024, lease payments of $ 8,197 received in advance under the terms of the Master Leases are included in "Other liabilities" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and will be recognized as lease income in October 2024. As of December 31, 2023, lease payments of $ 8,583 received in advance under the terms of the Master Leases are included in "Other liabilities" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and were recognized as lease income in January 2024. The Trust records all changes in uncollectible lease income as an adjustment to “Lease income” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. During the Reporting Periods, there was no uncollectible lease income.

In certain municipalities, the Trust is required to remit sales and use taxes to governmental authorities based upon the rental income received from Properties. These taxes are required to be reimbursed by Penney Intermediate Holdings LLC to the Trust in accordance with the terms of the Master Lease, and are presented net of reimbursement from Penney Intermediate Holdings LLC on the consolidated statements of operations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Trust remitted sales and use taxes of $ 394 and $ 609 , respectively, which were fully reimbursed by Penney Intermediate Holdings LLC as of the end of each corresponding Reporting Period.

From time to time, the Trust may have leasing activity with replacement tenants other than Penney Intermediate Holdings LLC but has had none to date.

The disaggregation of the Trust’s lease income as either fixed or variable lease income based on the criteria specified in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC") Topic 842 is as follows:

Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30,

The Trust leases land under operating ground leases at certain of its Properties, which expire in various years from 2038 to 2096, including any available option periods that are reasonably certain to be exercised. All option terms were considered to be reasonably certain of being exercised through the initial term of the Master Lease as of September 30, 2024.

(4) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Master Leases

Landlord Option Properties: On the Effective Date, the Retail Master Lease provides the Trust an option on 23 of the Retail Properties allowing current or future landlords to terminate the Retail Master Lease as to that property upon 24 months’ prior written notice. This option is limited (for the Trust, but not for future landlords) to eight Retail Properties in any lease year. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, no Retail Properties with landlord termination options were sold. As of September 30, 2024, the Trust had sold 16 Retail Properties with landlord termination options, and there were seven remaining Retail Properties with landlord termination options.

Tenant Option Properties: On the Effective Date, the Retail Master Lease provided Penney Intermediate Holdings LLC an option to terminate the Retail Master Lease upon 24 months’ prior written notice as to all or a portion of any one or more of six specified properties. This option is limited to no more than five Properties in any lease year. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, no Retail Properties with tenant termination options were sold. As of September 30, 2024, the Trust had sold five Retail Properties with tenant termination options, and there was one remaining Retail Property with a tenant termination option.

Substitution Options and Go Dark Rights: The Retail Master Lease provides Penney Intermediate Holdings LLC an option to terminate the Retail Master Lease with respect to selected sub-performing properties upon replacement of such sub-performing properties with qualified replacement properties in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Retail Master Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Penney Intermediate Holdings LLC shall only be entitled to exercise a substitution option (i) between the third and 15th anniversary of the commencement date of the Retail Master Lease and (ii) if the aggregate allocated base rent amounts for all Go Dark/Substitution Properties (as defined in the Retail Master Lease) during the applicable period (as described in the Retail Master Lease) is less than or equal to 15 % of the aggregate first year’s base rent. The Retail Master Lease also provides Penney Intermediate Holdings LLC with the limited right to “go dark” (i.e., cease operations) at one or more Retail Properties in certain limited circumstances as set forth in the Retail Master Lease; provided that such right does not relieve Penney Intermediate Holdings LLC of its obligation to make any rent payments that are due and owing. As of September 30, 2024, Penney Intermediate Holdings LLC has not ceased operations at any of the Retail Properties.

Tenant Purchase Rights: On the Effective Date, the Master Leases contained preferential offer rights in favor of Penney Intermediate Holdings LLC with respect to 70 of the Retail Properties and each of the Warehouses (the “Tenant Purchase Rights”), which enable Penney Intermediate Holdings LLC, in connection with a potential sale of such Properties, to acquire such Properties for a price determined in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Master Leases. These Tenant Purchase Rights require the Trust to reoffer a property to the tenant in the event it is not sold within a specified period of time at a specified minimum price related to the preferential purchase price.

(Unaudited)
(in thousands, except certificate and per certificate amounts)

As of September 30, 2024, 19 of these Retail Properties, of which three were purchased by an affiliate of the tenant, and all of the Warehouses, of which none were purchased by the tenant, have been sold.

Lockout Periods: The Trust agreed not to deliver notice to Penney Intermediate Holdings LLC formally commencing the sales process at those Properties subject to the Tenant Purchase Rights prior to the dates specified in the applicable Master Lease for such Properties. All lockout periods with respect to the Tenant Purchase Rights for the 70 Retail Properties have expired.

Environmental Matters

Federal law (and the laws of some states in which we own or may acquire properties) imposes liability on a landowner for the presence on the premises of hazardous substances or wastes (as defined by present and future federal and state laws and regulations). This liability is without regard to fault or knowledge of the presence of such substances and may be imposed jointly and severally upon all succeeding landowners. If such hazardous substance is discovered on a property owned by us, we could incur liability for the removal of the substances and the cleanup of the property.

There can be no assurance that we would have effective remedies against prior owners of the property. In addition, we may be liable to current or future tenants and may find it difficult or impossible to sell the property either prior to or following such a cleanup. There are no environmental matters that are expected to have a material effect on the Trust’s consolidated financial statements.

Risk of Uninsured Property Losses

The Trust maintains property damage, fire loss, environmental, and liability insurance in addition to the insurance required to be maintained by the tenant pursuant to the Master Leases. However, there are certain types of losses (generally of a catastrophic nature) which may be either uninsurable or not economically insurable. Such excluded risks may include war, earthquakes, tornados, floods and certain other environmental hazards. Should such events occur, (i) we may suffer a loss of capital invested, (ii) tenant may suffer losses and may be unable to pay rent for the spaces, and (iii) we may suffer a loss of profits which might be anticipated from one or more properties.

Significant Risks and Uncertainties

Although disruptions stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic have subsided, inflation, fluctuations in interest rates, reduced consumer spending, labor shortages, supply chain disruptions and global capital markets volatility pose increasing risks to the Company and the U.S. economy. The ongoing and potential future impacts of global conflicts, such as between Russia and Ukraine and in the Middle East, among others are also contributing to economic and geopolitical uncertainty. While we did not incur any disruptions to our lease income and occupancy during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as a result of these adverse political and economic conditions, credit markets or other events, we continue to closely monitor the impact of these factors as they may have a negative impact on our or Penney Intermediate Holdings LLC’s business.

Concentration of Credit Risk

As of September 30, 2024, all of the Properties were leased to Penney Intermediate Holdings LLC, and all of the Trust’s lease income was derived from the Master Leases (see Note 3). The Properties' tenants constitute a significant asset concentration, as all tenants are subsidiaries of Penney Intermediate Holdings LLC, and Penney Intermediate Holdings LLC provides financial guarantees with respect to the Master Leases. Until the Trust materially diversifies the composition of tenants for its properties, an event that has a material adverse effect on Penney Intermediate Holdings LLC’s business, financial condition or results of operations could have a material adverse effect on the Trust’s business, financial condition or results of operations.

(in thousands, except certificate and per certificate amounts)

As of September 30, 2024, the Trust's properties are located across 35 U.S. states and Puerto Rico. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Trust's lease income was concentrated in two states as follows: California 18.7 % and Texas 13.2 %. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Trust's lease income was concentrated in two states as follows: California 18.8 % and Texas 13.4 %.

Litigation

From time to time, the Trust may be subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. There are no current matters that are expected to have a material effect on the Trust’s consolidated financial statements.

Income Taxes

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no uncertain tax positions and the balance of unrecognized tax benefits was $ 0 .

(5) FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair Value Hierarchy

A fair value measurement is based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or
liability in an orderly transaction. The hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value are as follows:

• Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
• Level 2: Prices determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs that other market participants would use in pricing a security, including quoted prices for similar securities.
• Level 3: Prices determined using significant unobservable inputs. Unobservable inputs reflect the Trust’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in pricing an investment, and would be based on the best information available in the circumstances.

When inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, to the extent the underlying liability will be settled in cash, approximate their carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Trust did not hold any assets or liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Trust remeasured one Retail Property to fair value on a nonrecurring basis. The Trust recognized an impairment charge related to an adjustment to the carrying value of a Retail Property, which was classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2024, to its estimated fair value. The following table summarizes the provision for impairment for this asset:

Location
Fair Value (1)

(in thousands, except certificate and per certificate amounts)

(1) Estimated fair value was based on the aggregate sales proceeds net of closing costs resulting from the actual transaction with an unrelated third party. The Trust determined that its valuation of this investment was classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Trust did not remeasure any assets to fair value on a nonrecurring basis, and no impairment charges were recorded.


(6) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Subsequent to September 30, 2024, we paid monthly distributions to Certificateholders of $ 19,563 or $ 0.26 per certificate in October 2024. On November 7, 2024, we announced a distribution of $ 25,093 or $ 0.33 per certificate to be paid on November 12, 2024 to Certificateholders.

On October 25, 2024, the Trust sold the Retail Properties in Cherry Hill, New Jersey and Lynnwood, Washington. Cherry Hill, New Jersey sold for a gross price of $ 4,804 with a carrying value at September 30, 2024 of $ 4,627 . Lynnwood, Washington sold for a gross price of $ 12,894 with a carrying value at September 30, 2024 of $ 11,934 .

Principal External Factors that Affect our Results of Operations

Inflation Risk and Economic Conditions

Although disruptions stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic have subsided, inflation, fluctuating interest rates, reduced consumer spending, labor shortages, supply chain disruptions and global capital markets volatility pose continued risk to the Trust and the U.S. economy. The ongoing and potential future impacts of global conflicts, such as between Russia and Ukraine and in the Middle East, among others, are also contributing to economic and geopolitical uncertainty. Downturns in the global economy could cause a decline in the demand for our properties and our tenant's products. Our operations could also be impacted by inflation and changes in interest rates. Inflation did not have a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

While we did not incur any disruptions to our lease income and occupancy during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 as a result of these adverse political and economic conditions, credit markets or other events, any of these events could materially adversely impact the Trust or Penney Intermediate Holdings LLC's business. The Trust continues to closely monitor economic, financial and social conditions, including the effects of inflation.

Climate Change and ESG Regulations

Our Properties are subject to comprehensive and frequently evolving federal, state and local environmental and occupational health and safety laws. We have made, and will continue to make, capital and other expenditures to comply with environmental requirements. While we do not currently anticipate any material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or competitive position as a result of our efforts to comply with such requirements, new or more stringent laws or regulations regarding environmental and worker health and safety laws could affect our operations and increase our operational and compliance expenditures. It is also possible that liabilities from newly-discovered non-compliance or contamination could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Executive Summary

Copper Property CTL Pass Through Trust exists for the sole purpose of collecting rent, holding, administering, distributing and monetizing the Properties for the benefit of Certificateholders. As of September 30, 2024, we owned 125 retail operating properties, 21 of which are encumbered by ground leases, across 35 U.S. states and Puerto Rico representing 16.6 million square feet of leasable space. The number of retail operating properties decreased to 125 as of September 30, 2024 from 130 as of December 31, 2023 as a result of the dispositions of five Retail Properties during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Results of Operations

Comparison of three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, net income attributable to Certificateholders was $16,443 or $0.22 per Certificate, as compared to $19,693 or $0.26 per Certificate for the corresponding period in 2023.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, net income attributable to Certificateholders was $52,094 or $0.69 per Certificate, as compared to $53,679 or $0.72 per Certificate for the corresponding period in 2023.

The following describes the changes on the Trust’s consolidated statements of operations that affected net income attributable to Certificateholders during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2023:

Lease income - The net decrease in lease income of $318 and $437 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2023, is due to the disposition of six Retail Properties between September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2024, partially offset by the CPI adjustment of base rent as of December 7, 2023.

Operating expenses - The net increase in operating expenses of $35 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the corresponding period in 2023, is primarily due to an increase in bank fees of $32. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Trust paid bank charges related to prior periods, along with charges for the current quarter. The net decrease in operating expenses of $259 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the corresponding period in 2023, is due to the Trust receiving a franchise tax refund during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Depreciation and amortization - The decrease in depreciation and amortization of $233 and $441 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to the corresponding period in 2023, is due to the disposition of six Retail Properties between September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2024.

Provision for impairment of investment properties - During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Trust remeasured one investment property to fair value and recorded an impairment charge of $2,081. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, no impairment charge was recorded.

General and administrative expenses - The increase in general and administrative expenses of $191 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the corresponding period in 2023, is primarily due to an increase in legal expenses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, general and administrative expenses increased by $147 from the corresponding period in 2023 primarily due to an increase in legal expenses, partially offset by a decrease in insurance expense.

Gain on sales of investment properties, net - During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Trust disposed of five properties for aggregate net sales proceeds of $41,316, which resulted in an aggregate gain of $4,392. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, gain on sales of investment properties, net includes a gain of $78 in proceeds released from escrow due to a disposition that occurred in December 2022 and $154 of selling expenses from prior period dispositions. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the gain on sales of investment properties, net of $3,515 is due to the dispositions of two Retail Properties and includes a net gain of $1,324 from a prior year disposition.

Other income - Other income consists of interest income earned on investments in money market instruments and non-recurring income generated from the Retail Properties, including consent fees or other fees paid to the Trust. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, the decrease in other income of $37, as compared to the
20

corresponding period in 2023, is due to a decrease of $52 in consent fees and other income, partially offset by an increase of $15 in interest income earned by the Trust. The Trust did not receive any consent fees or other income during the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $52 during the comparable period in 2023. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the decrease in other income of $421, as compared to the corresponding period in 2023, is due to a decrease of $572 in consent fees and other income received by the Trust, partially offset by an increase of $151 in interest income earned by the Trust.


Net Operating Income ("NOI")

We define NOI as all revenues other than (i) straight-line rental income (non-cash), (ii) amortization of above and below market lease intangibles, (iii) interest income and (iv) non-cash ground lease reimbursement income, less all operating expenses other than non-cash ground rent expense, which is comprised of amortization of right-of-use lease assets and amortization of lease liabilities, depreciation and amortization, and formation expenses. We use NOI internally to evaluate our financial and operating performance. We believe that NOI, which is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure, also provides an additional and useful operating perspective to investors not immediately apparent from “Net income” in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). We do not, nor do we suggest that investors should, consider such non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Comparison of our presentation of NOI to similarly titled measures for other entities may not necessarily be meaningful due to possible differences in definition and application by such entities. For reference and as an aid in understanding our computation of NOI, a reconciliation of net income as computed in accordance with GAAP to NOI for the Reporting Periods is as follows:

Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30,
2024 2023 2024 2023
Net income $ 16,443 $ 19,693 $ 52,094 $ 53,679
Adjustments to reconcile to NOI:
Depreciation and amortization of real estate 4,572 4,805 14,011 14,452
Provision for impairment of investment properties 2,081 — 2,081 —
Gain on sales of investment properties, net (1,866) (2,687) (4,316) (3,515)
Straight-line rental income, net 568 585 1,719 1,763
Amortization of above and below market lease intangibles, net 617 546 1,760 1,667
Interest income (332) (317) (1,017) (866)
Non-cash ground rent expense, net 1,495 1,495 4,486 4,486
Non-cash ground lease reimbursement income (1,027) (1,019) (3,089) (3,035)
NOI $ 22,551 $ 23,101 $ 67,729 $ 68,631

The decrease in NOI of $902 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023, is due to (i) a decrease in lease income of $1,936 resulting from the disposition of six Retail Properties, (ii) a decrease in consent fee income of $572 and (iii) a net increase in general and administrative expenses of $147; partially offset by (iv) an increase in lease income of $1,494 due to the CPI adjustment of base rent in December 2023 and (v) a net decrease in operating expenses of $259.

Funds from Operations

The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, an industry trade group, has promulgated a financial measure known as funds from operations ("FFO"). As defined by NAREIT, FFO means net income computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding (i) depreciation and amortization related to real estate, (ii) gains from sales of real estate assets, (iii) gains and losses from change in control and (iv) provisions for impairment of investment properties. We have adopted the NAREIT definition in our computation of FFO attributable to Certificateholders. Management believes that, subject to the following limitations, FFO attributable to Certificateholders provides a basis for comparing our performance and operations to REITs.

We define Operating FFO attributable to Certificateholders as FFO attributable to Certificateholders excluding the impact of discrete non-operating transactions and other events which we do not consider representative of the comparable operating results of our real estate operating portfolio, which is our core business platform. Specific examples of discrete non-operating transactions and other events include, but are not limited to, the impact on earnings, which are not otherwise adjusted in our calculation of FFO attributable to Certificateholders.

We believe that FFO and Operating FFO, which are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures, provide an additional and useful means to assess our operating performance compared to REITs. FFO and Operating FFO do not represent alternatives to (i) “Net income” or “Net income attributable to Certificateholders” as indicators of our financial performance, or (ii) “Cash flows from operating activities” which is prepared in accordance with GAAP as measures of our capacity to fund cash needs, including the payment of distributions. Comparison of our presentation of Operating FFO to similarly titled measures for REITs may not necessarily be meaningful due to possible differences in definition and application by such REITs.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net income to FFO and Operating FFO:

Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30,
2024 2023 2024 2023
Net income $ 16,443 $ 19,693 $ 52,094 $ 53,679
Depreciation and amortization of real estate 4,572 4,805 14,011 14,452
Provision for impairment of investment properties 2,081 — 2,081 —
Gain on sales of investment properties, net (1,866) (2,687) (4,316) (3,515)
FFO $ 21,230 $ 21,811 $ 63,870 $ 64,616
FFO per certificate outstanding – basic and diluted $ 0.28 $ 0.29 $ 0.85 $ 0.86
FFO $ 21,230 $ 21,811 $ 63,870 $ 64,616
Dead deal costs — 53 140 72
Operating FFO $ 21,230 $ 21,864 $ 64,010 $ 64,688
Operating FFO per certificate outstanding – basic and diluted $ 0.28 $ 0.29 $ 0.85 $ 0.86

The decrease in FFO of $746 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023, is primarily due to (i) a net decrease in lease related income of $1,931 resulting from the disposition of six Retail Properties, (ii) a decrease in consent fee income of $572 and (iii) a net increase in general and administrative expenses of $147; partially offset by (iv) an increase in lease income of $1,494 due to the CPI adjustment of base rent in December 2023, (v) an increase in interest income of $151 and (vi) a net decrease in operating expenses of $259.

22

The decrease in Operating FFO of $678 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to nine months ended September 30, 2023 is primarily due to (i) a net decrease in lease related income of $1,931 resulting from the disposition of six Retail Properties, (ii) a decrease in consent fee income of $572 and (iii) a net increase in general and administrative expenses of $79; partially offset by (iv) an increase in lease income of $1,494 due to the CPI adjustment of base rent in December 2023, (v) an increase in interest income of $151 and (vi) a net decrease in operating expenses of $259.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We anticipate that cash flows from the below-listed sources will provide adequate capital for the next 12 months and beyond for all Certificateholder distributions.

Our primary expected sources and uses of liquidity are as follows:

SOURCES USES
▪ Rental revenues ▪ Operating and general and administrative expenses
▪ Cash and cash equivalents ▪ Sales expenses
▪ Net proceeds from the sale of real estate ▪ Distribution payments

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had $46,115 and $38,026, respectively, of cash and cash equivalents. The Trust has adopted a policy to maintain its cash equivalents in a government money market fund administered by a major bulge bracket investment banking firm which invests its assets only in (i) cash and (ii) securities issued or guaranteed by the United States or certain U.S. government agencies and having a weighted average life and weighted average maturity of no more than 120 days and 60 days, respectively. Each of these government money market funds is managed to maintain a stable net asset value, thereby eliminating principal risk.

We had no indebtedness as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Debt Maturities

We have no scheduled maturities and principal amortization of our indebtedness, since we had no indebtedness as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Distributions

The Trust is required to distribute on a monthly basis, the net proceeds from lease payments under the Master Leases (until such time as all of the Properties have been sold) and all net sales proceeds from the disposition of Properties, in each case pro rata, to Certificateholders as of the record date immediately preceding the applicable distribution date. Such distributions shall be net of (i) tax payments to be made by the Trust, (ii) fees and expenses of the Trust, the Trustee, the Manager and any other professional advisors, and (iii) funds to be set aside for the Trustee’s and Manager’s reserve accounts.

We paid distributions to the Certificateholders of $101,853 or $1.36 per certificate during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and $102,577 or $1.37 per certificate during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

23

Dispositions

Net sales proceeds from the disposition of Properties were included in the distributions to Certificateholders. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, included in the amount we paid to Certificateholders was $33,176 and $33,875, respectively, of aggregate net sales proceeds.

Capital Expenditures

We anticipate that obligations related to capital improvements will not be significant as these are generally the responsibility of the tenant under the Master Leases and should otherwise be met with cash flows from operations.

Summary of Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our cash flows:
Nine Months Ended September 30,
2024 2023
Net cash provided by operating activities $ 68,626 $ 69,368
Net cash provided by investing activities 41,316 18,224
Net cash used in financing activities (101,853) (102,577)
Change in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash 8,089 (14,985)
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, at beginning of period 38,026 48,922
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, at end of period $ 46,115 $ 33,937

Cash Flows from Operating and Investing Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $68,626, as compared to $69,368 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease of $742 is primarily due to a decrease in NOI resulting from (i) a decrease in lease income due to the disposition of six Retail Properties between September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2024, (ii) a decrease in consent fee income and (iii) an increase in general and administrative expenses. These changes were partially offset by (iv) increases in lease income due to the CPI adjustment to base rent and (v) a net decrease in operating expenses.

Cash flows provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were $41,316, as compared to $18,224 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Investing activities solely consists of proceeds from sales of investment properties, and the increase in net cash provided by investing activities is due to disposition activity in each Reporting Period.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, total net cash provided by operating and investing activities was $109,942, however $101,853 was distributed to Certificateholders in 2024, of which $12,320 were distributions of cash flows from operating and investing activities received during December 2023.

Management believes that cash flows from operations and sales of investment properties and existing cash and cash equivalents will provide sufficient liquidity to sustain future operations; however, we cannot provide any such assurances.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Cash flows used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $101,853, as compared to $102,577 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Financing activities for both Reporting Periods consisted of distributions paid to Certificateholders.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk

We are not exposed to interest rate risk because we currently do not hold any long-term debt or derivatives. If we were to enter into long-term debt arrangements, our interest rate risk management objectives would be to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs.

25

As of September 30, 2024, we did not hold any fixed or variable rate debt, and did not hold any derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to changes in interest rates.
