KIMCO REALTY OP, LLC
QUARTERLY REPORT ON FORM 10-Q
QUARTERLY PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31, 2025
EXPLANATORY NOTE
This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2025, of Kimco Realty Corporation (the “Parent Company”) and Kimco Realty OP, LLC (“Kimco OP”). Unless stated otherwise or the context requires, references to “Kimco Realty Corporation” or the “Parent Company” mean Kimco Realty Corporation and its subsidiaries, and references to “Kimco Realty OP, LLC” or “Kimco OP” mean Kimco Realty OP, LLC and its subsidiaries. The terms the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us” refer to the Parent Company and its business and operations conducted through its directly or indirectly owned subsidiaries, including Kimco OP; and in statements regarding qualification as a Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT"), such terms refer solely to the Parent Company. References to “shares” and “shareholders” refer to the shares and shareholders of the Parent Company and not the limited liability company interests of Kimco OP.
The Parent Company is a REIT and is the managing member of Kimco OP. As of March 31, 2025, the Parent Company owned 99.84% of the outstanding limited liability company interests (the "OP Units") in Kimco OP. Noncontrolling OP Unit interests are owned by third parties and certain officers and directors of the Company.
Substantially all of the Parent Company’s assets are held by, and substantially all of the Parent Company’s operations are conducted through, Kimco OP (either directly or through its subsidiaries), as the Parent Company’s operating company, and the Parent Company is the managing member of Kimco OP. In addition, the officers and directors of the Parent Company are the same as the officers and directors of Kimco OP. Management operates the Parent Company and Kimco OP as one business. The management of the Parent Company consists of the same individuals as the management of Kimco OP. These individuals are officers of the Parent Company and employees of Kimco OP.
Stockholders' equity and Members’ capital are the primary areas of difference between the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Parent Company and those of Kimco OP. Kimco OP’s capital currently includes OP Units owned by the Parent Company and noncontrolling OP Units owned by third parties and certain officers and directors of the Company. OP Units owned by outside members are accounted for within capital on Kimco OP’s financial statements and in noncontrolling interests in the Parent Company’s financial statements.
The Parent Company consolidates Kimco OP for financial reporting purposes, and the Parent Company does not have significant assets other than its investment in Kimco OP. Therefore, while stockholders’ equity, members’ capital and noncontrolling interests differ as discussed above, the assets and liabilities of the Parent Company and Kimco OP are the same on their respective financial statements.
The Company believes combining the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of the Parent Company and Kimco OP into this single report provides the following benefits:
- Enhances investors' understanding of the Parent Company and Kimco OP by enabling investors to view the businesses as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business;
- Eliminates duplicative disclosure and provides a more concise and readable presentation because a substantial portion of the disclosure applies to both the Parent Company and Kimco OP; and
- Creates time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.
In order to highlight the differences between the Parent Company and Kimco OP, there are sections in this Quarterly Report that separately discuss the Parent Company and Kimco OP, including separate financial statements (but combined footnotes), separate controls and procedures sections, and separate Exhibit 31 and 32 certifications. In the sections that combine disclosure for the Parent Company and Kimco OP, unless context otherwise requires, this Quarterly Report refers to actions or holdings of the Parent Company and/or Kimco OP as being the actions or holdings of the Company (either directly or through its subsidiaries, including Kimco OP).

KIMCO REALTY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES AND KIMCO REALTY OP, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- Business and Organization
Kimco Realty Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Parent Company”) operates as a Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT"), of which substantially all of the Parent Company’s assets are held by, and substantially all of the Parent Company’s operations are conducted through, Kimco Realty OP, LLC (“Kimco OP”), either directly or through its subsidiaries, as the Parent Company’s operating company. The Parent Company is the managing member and exercises exclusive control over Kimco OP. As of March 31, 2025, the Parent Company owned 99.84% of the outstanding limited liability company interests (the "OP Units") in Kimco OP. The terms “Kimco,” “the Company” and “our” each refer to the Parent Company and Kimco OP, collectively, unless the context indicates otherwise. In statements regarding qualification as a REIT, such terms refer solely to Kimco Realty Corporation.
The Company is the leading owner and operator of high-quality, open-air, grocery-anchored shopping centers and mixed-use properties in the United States. The Company’s portfolio is primarily concentrated in the first-ring suburbs of the top major metropolitan markets, including those in high-barrier-to-entry coastal markets and rapidly expanding Sun Belt cities, with a tenant mix focused on essential, necessity-based goods and services that drive multiple shopping trips per week. The Company, its affiliates and related real estate joint ventures are engaged principally in the ownership, management, development and operation of open-air shopping centers, including mixed-use assets, which are anchored primarily by grocery stores, off-price retailers, discounters or service-oriented tenants. Additionally, the Company provides complementary services that capitalize on the Company’s established retail real estate expertise. The Company’s mission is to create destinations for everyday living that inspire a sense of community and deliver value to our many stakeholders. The Company evaluates performance on a property specific or transactional basis and does not distinguish its principal business or group its operations on a geographical basis for purposes of measuring performance. Accordingly, the Company believes it has a single reportable segment for disclosure purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
The Company elected status as a REIT for federal income tax purposes commencing with its taxable year which began January 1, 1992 and operates in a manner that enables the Company to maintain its status as a REIT. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must meet several organizational and operational requirements, and is required to annually distribute at least 90% of its net taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding any net capital gain. In addition, the Company will be subject to federal income tax at regular corporate rates to the extent that it distributes less than 100% of its net taxable income, including any net capital gains. In January 2023, the Company consummated a reorganization into an umbrella partnership real estate investment trust structure (“UPREIT”). The Company believes it is organized and operates in such a manner to qualify and remain qualified as a REIT, in accordance with Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The Company, generally, will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax, provided that distributions to its stockholders equal at least the amount of its REIT taxable income, as defined in the Code. The Company maintains certain subsidiaries that have made joint elections with the Company to be treated as taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”), that permit the Company to engage through such TRSs in certain business activities that the REIT may not conduct directly. A TRS is subject to federal and state income taxes on its income, and the Company includes, when applicable, a provision for taxes in its condensed consolidated financial statements.
RPT Merger
On January 2, 2024, RPT Realty (“RPT”) merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving public company (the “RPT Merger”), pursuant to the definitive merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) between the Company and RPT, entered into on August 28, 2023. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, each RPT common share was converted into 0.6049 of a newly issued share of the Company’s common stock, together with cash in lieu of fractional shares, and each 7.25% Series D Cumulative Convertible Perpetual Preferred Share of RPT was converted into the right to receive one depositary share representing one one-thousandth of a share of the Company’s 7.25% Class N Cumulative Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share (“Class N Preferred Stock”). During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company incurred expenses of $25.2 million associated with the RPT Merger, primarily comprised of severance, legal and professional fees. See Footnote 3 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.
KIMCO REALTY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES AND KIMCO REALTY OP, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2025, of the Parent Company and Kimco OP into this single report. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Parent Company and Kimco OP and their consolidated subsidiaries. The Company’s subsidiaries include subsidiaries which are wholly owned or which the Company has a controlling interest, including where the Company has been determined to be a primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) in accordance with the consolidation guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). The Parent Company serves as the general member of Kimco OP. The limited members of Kimco OP have limited rights over Kimco OP and do not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact Kimco OP’s economic performance. As such, Kimco OP is considered a VIE, and the Parent Company, which consolidates it, is the primary beneficiary. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company has a $550.0 million unsecured term loan credit facility (the “Term Loan Credit Facility”) with a group of banks, which is scheduled to mature in January 2026 with three one-year options to extend the maturity date, at the Company’s discretion, to January 2029. The Term Loan Credit Facility accrues interest at a spread (currently 80.0 basis points after reductions for an upgraded credit rating profile) to the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate (as defined in the credit agreement), that fluctuates in accordance with changes in the Company’s senior debt ratings. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had six swap rate agreements with various lenders swapping the overall interest rate on the $550.0 million Term Loan Credit Facility to an all-in fixed rate of 4.6122%. See Footnote 12 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for interest rate swap disclosure.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company fully repaid the following notes payable (dollars in millions):
| Type | Date Paid | Amount Repaid | Interest Rate | Maturity Date | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Unsecured note | Feb-25 | $ | 500.0 | 3.30% | Feb-25 |

- The Company incurred a make-whole charge of $0.3 million resulting from this early repayment of these notes, which are included in Merger charges on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Parent Company guarantees the unsecured debt instruments of Kimco OP, including the Credit Facility. These guarantees by the Parent Company are full, irrevocable, unconditional and absolute joint and several guarantees to the holders of each series of such unsecured debt instruments.
Mortgages Payable
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company repaid $48.9 million of mortgage debt (including fair market value adjustment of $0.1 million) that encumbered three operating properties.
- Derivatives
Derivative Instruments & Hedging Activities
The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risks, primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its debt funding and the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company may use derivatives to manage exposures that arise from changes in interest rates and limits the risk by following established risk management policies and procedures, including the use of derivative financial instruments.
The use of derivative financial instruments carries certain risks, including the risk that the counterparties to these contractual arrangements are not able to perform under the agreements. To mitigate these risks, the Company only enters into derivative financial instruments with counterparties with major financial institutions. The Company does not anticipate that any of the counterparties will fail to meet their obligations. The Company's objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to attempt to stabilize interest expense where possible and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps 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.
During 2024, the Company entered into 26 interest rate swap agreements with notional amounts aggregating to $860.0 million. The interest rate swap agreements are designated as cash flow hedges and are held by the Company to reduce the impact of changes in interest rates on variable rate debt. As of March 31, 2025, all interest rate swaps were deemed effective and are therefore included within Accumulated other comprehensive (loss)/income (“AOCI”) on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of March 31, 2025, the Company expects approximately $1.5 million of accumulated comprehensive income on derivative instruments to be reclassified into earnings as a reduction to interest expense during the next 12 months.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
The interest rate swaps are measured at fair value using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts (or payments) and the discounted expected variable cash payments (or receipts). The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. The Company classifies the interest rate swaps as Level 2 and the fair value of the interest rate swaps are measured on a recurring basis.
The following table summarizes the terms and fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments as of March 31, 2025 (dollars in thousands):

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company’s share of the fair value of cash flow hedges for interest payments of unconsolidated investees was $2.1 million and $3.8 million, respectively, which is included within AOCI on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
- Noncontrolling Interests
Noncontrolling interests represent the portion of equity that the Company does not own in those entities it consolidates as a result of having a controlling interest or having determined that the Company was the primary beneficiary of a VIE in accordance with the provisions of the FASB’s Consolidation guidance. The Company accounts and reports for noncontrolling interests in accordance with the Consolidation guidance and the Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity guidance issued by the FASB. The Company identifies its noncontrolling interests separately within the equity section on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the Company and to the noncontrolling interests are presented separately on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Parent Company issued 953,400 OP Units in Kimco OP during 2024, which were fully vested upon issuance and had a fair market value of $21.0 million. In addition, the Parent Company has granted to certain employees and directors LTIP Units with time-based vesting requirements (“Time-Based LTIP Units”) and LTIP Units with performance-based vesting requirements (“Performance-Based LTIP Units”), assuming the maximum target performance. See Footnote 16 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further disclosure. As of March 31, 2025, the Parent Company owned 99.84% of the outstanding OP Units in Kimco OP. The OP Units are currently redeemable at the option of the holder (subject to restrictions agreed upon at the time of issuance of LTIP Units to certain holders that may restrict such redemption right for a period of time) for the Parent Company’s common stock at a ratio

| Type | Units Outstanding | Return Per Annum | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vested OP Units | 977,382 | Equal to the Company’s common stock dividend | |
| Unvested Time-Based OP Units | 96,560 | Equal to the Company’s common stock dividend | |
| Unvested Performance-Based OP Units | 474,611 | Dividend equivalent OP Units upon vesting |
The Company owns eight shopping center properties located in Long Island, NY, which were acquired during 2022, partially through the issuance of $122.1 million of Preferred Outside Partner Units and $13.6 million of Common Outside Partner Units. The noncontrolling interest is classified as mezzanine equity and included in Redeemable noncontrolling interests on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as a result of the put right available to the unit holders, an event that is not solely in the Company’s control. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, 46,461 Preferred Outside Partner Units and 5,162 Common Outside Partner Units were redeemed for cash of $1.0 million, in separate transactions. These transactions resulted in a net decrease in Redeemable noncontrolling interests of $0.7 million and a decrease in the embedded derivative liability in Other liabilities of $0.4 million on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, 70,395 Preferred Outside Partner Units were redeemed for cash of $1.4 million. This transaction resulted in a net decrease in Redeemable noncontrolling interests of $0.9 million and a decrease in the embedded derivative liability in Other liabilities of $0.5 million on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of March 31, 2025, the Outside Partner Units related to these acquisitions total $56.4 million, including noncontrolling interests of $36.6 million and an embedded derivative liability associated with put and call options of these unitholders of $19.8 million. The Outside Partner Units related annual cash distribution rates and related conversion features consisted of the following as of March 31, 2025:
| Type | Par Value <br>Per Unit | Units <br>Outstanding | Return Per Annum | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Preferred Outside Partner Units | $ | 20.00 | 2,450,246 | 3.75% | |
| Common Outside Partner Units | $ | 20.00 | 261,369 | Equal to the Company’s common stock dividend |

- Variable Interest Entities
Consolidated Operating Properties
Kimco OP is considered a VIE, and the Parent Company, which consolidates it, is the primary beneficiary. Substantially all of the Parent Company's assets and liabilities are the assets and liabilities of Kimco OP. In addition, included within the Company’s operating properties at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, are 28 and 29 consolidated entities, respectively, that are VIEs for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. These entities have been established to own and operate real estate property. The Company’s involvement with these entities is through its majority ownership and management of the properties. The entities were deemed VIEs primarily because the unrelated investors do not have substantive kick-out rights to remove the general or managing partner by a vote of a simple majority or less, and they do not have substantive participating rights. The Company determined that it was the primary
KIMCO REALTY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES AND KIMCO REALTY OP, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
beneficiary of these VIEs as a result of its controlling financial interest. At March 31, 2025, total assets of these VIEs were $1.7 billion and total liabilities were $159.5 million. At December 31, 2024, total assets of these VIEs were $1.7 billion and total liabilities were $161.6 million.
The majority of the operations of these VIEs are funded with cash flows generated from the properties. The Company has not provided financial support to any of these VIEs that it was not previously contractually required to provide, which consists primarily of funding any capital expenditures, including tenant improvements, which are deemed necessary to continue to operate the entity and any operating cash shortfalls that the entity may experience.
All liabilities of these consolidated VIEs are non-recourse to the Company (“VIE Liabilities”). The assets of the unencumbered VIEs are not restricted for use to settle only the obligations of these VIEs. The remaining VIE assets are encumbered by third-party non-recourse mortgage debt. The assets associated with these encumbered VIEs (“Restricted Assets”) are collateral under the respective mortgages and are therefore restricted and can only be used to settle the corresponding liabilities of the VIE. The table below summarizes the consolidated VIEs and the classification of the Restricted Assets and VIE Liabilities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are as follows (dollars in millions):
| As of March 31, 2025 | As of December 31, 2024 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|

Unconsolidated Redevelopment Investment
Included in the Company’s preferred equity investments at March 31, 2025, is an unconsolidated development project which is a VIE for which the Company is not the primary beneficiary. This preferred equity investment was primarily established to develop real estate property for long-term investment and was deemed a VIE primarily based on the fact that the equity investment at risk was not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional financial support. The initial equity contributed to this entity was not sufficient to fully finance the real estate construction as development costs are funded by construction loan financing and the partners over the construction period. The Company determined that it was not the primary beneficiary of this VIE based on the fact that the Company has shared control of this entity along with the entity’s partners and therefore does not have a controlling financial interest.
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company’s investment in this VIE was $38.1 million and $37.6 million, respectively, which is included in Other investments on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with this VIE is the Company’s carrying value in this investment and its remaining capital commitment obligation. The Company has not provided financial support to this VIE that it was not previously contractually required to provide. All future costs of development will be funded with construction loan financing or capital contributions from the Company and the outside partner in accordance with their respective ownership percentages if necessary.

- Fair Value Measurements
All financial instruments of the Company are reflected in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at amounts which, in management’s estimation, based upon an interpretation of available market information and valuation methodologies, reasonably approximate their fair values except those listed below, for which fair values are disclosed. The valuation method used to estimate fair value for fixed-rate and variable-rate debt and mortgage and other finance receivables is based on discounted cash flow analyses, with assumptions that include credit spreads, market yield curves, trading activity, loan amounts and debt maturities. The fair values for marketable securities are based on published values, securities dealers’ estimated market values or comparable market sales. The fair value for embedded derivative liability is based on using the “with-and-without” method. Such fair value estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that would be realized upon disposition. Interest rate swaps are measured at fair value using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts (or payments) and the discounted expected variable cash payments (or receipts). The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. The Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty's nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements for interest rate swaps.
As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the FASB’s Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy).
The following table presents the carrying amount and estimated fair value of Company's financial instruments not measured at fair value as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 (in thousands):
| March 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | ||||||||

- The carrying value includes and the fair value excludes deferred financing costs of $66.9 million and $65.0 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
- The carrying value includes and the fair value excludes deferred financing costs of $1.1 million as of both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
The Company has certain financial instruments that must be measured under the FASB’s Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures guidance, including available for sale securities, interest rate swap derivative assets/liabilities and embedded derivative liabilities. The Company currently does not have non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level of the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

- Incentive Plans
The Company has an Equity Participation Plan (as amended and/or restated, the “Equity Plan”), which provides for a maximum of 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to be reserved for the issuance of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance awards, dividend equivalents, LTIP Units, stock payments and deferred stock awards. At March 31, 2025, the Company had 2.9 million shares of common stock available for issuance under the Equity Plan.
The Company accounts for equity awards in accordance with FASB’s compensation – Stock Compensation guidance, which requires that all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, restricted stock, performance shares and LTIP Units, be recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations over the service period based on their fair values. Fair value of restricted shares and Time-Based LTIP Units are calculated based on the on the Company’s common stock closing share price on the date of grant. Fair value of performance awards and Performance-Based LTIP Units are determined using the Monte Carlo method, which is intended to estimate the fair value of the awards at the grant date. Granted Time-Based LTIP Units and Performance-Based LTIP Units do not have redemption rights into shares of Company common stock, but any OP Units into which LTIP Units may be converted are entitled to redemption rights.
The Company recognized expenses associated with its equity awards of $6.7 million and $10.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had $39.8 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock compensation granted under the Plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately
2.5
years.

- Segment Reporting:
The Company is an owner and operator of open-air, grocery-anchored shopping centers and mixed-used assets of which all the Company's properties are located within the U.S., inclusive of Puerto Rico. Management does not distinguish or group its operations on a geographical basis for purposes of allocating resources or capital. The Company reviews and evaluates operating and financial data for each property on an individual basis. As a result, each of the Company's individual properties is a separate operating segment. The Company defines its reportable segments to be in accordance with the method of internal reporting and the manner in which the Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), makes key operating decisions, evaluates financial results, allocates resources and manages the Company's business. Accordingly, the Company aggregates its operating segments into a single reportable segment due to the similarities with regard to the nature and economics of its properties, tenants and operations, which are operated using consistent business strategies.
In accordance with ASC Topic 280 Segment Reporting, the Company’s CODM has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer. The CODM evaluates the Company’s portfolio and assesses the ongoing operations and performance of its consolidated properties and the Company's share of unconsolidated joint venture operations. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as the
KIMCO REALTY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES AND KIMCO REALTY OP, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Company’s accounting policies. Net Operating Income ("NOI") is the primary performance measure reviewed by the Company’s CODM to assess operating performance and consists only of revenues and expenses directly related to real estate rental operations. NOI is calculated by deducting property operating expenses from lease revenues and other property related income. NOI reflects property acquisitions and dispositions, occupancy levels, rental rate increases or decreases, and the recoverability of operating expenses. The Company’s calculation of NOI may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures calculated by other REITs. The CODM does not review asset information as a measure to assess performance.

The Company’s primary business objective is to be the premier owner and operator of open-air, grocery-anchored shopping centers, and a growing portfolio of mixed-use assets, in the U.S. The Company believes it can achieve this objective by:
- increasing the value of its existing portfolio of properties and generating higher levels of portfolio growth;
- increasing cash flows for reinvestment and/or for distribution to shareholders while maintaining conservative payout ratios;
- maintaining strong debt metrics and its A-/BBB+/Baa1 unsecured debt ratings;
- continuing growth in desirable demographic areas with successful retailers, primarily focused on grocery anchors; and
- increasing the number of entitlements for residential use.
RPT Merger
On January 2, 2024, RPT Realty (“RPT”) merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving public company (the “RPT Merger”), pursuant to the definitive merger agreement between the Company and RPT, which was entered into on August 28, 2023. As a result of the RPT Merger, the Company acquired 56 open-air shopping centers, including 43 wholly owned and 13 joint venture assets, comprising 13.3 million square feet of gross leasable area, to the Company’s existing portfolio. The Company also obtained RPT’s 6% stake in a 49-property net lease joint venture.
Economic Conditions
The economy continues to face challenges which could adversely impact the Company and its tenants, including elevated inflation, interest rates, tenant bankruptcies and international tariffs or other trade restrictions. These factors could slow economic growth and materially increase the cost of goods and services offered by the Company’s tenants, leading to lower profits. To the extent our tenants are unable to pass these costs on to their customers, our tenants’ operations could be adversely impacted, which could result in tenant bankruptcies, amongst other things, and could weaken demand by those tenants for our real estate and adversely impact the Company. In addition, these challenges could negatively affect the overall demand for retail space, including the demand for leasable space in the Company’s properties. Any of these factors could materially adversely impact the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or stock price. The Company continues to monitor economic, financial, and social conditions and will assess its asset portfolio for any impairment indicators. If the Company determines that any of its assets are impaired, the Company would be required to take impairment charges, and such amounts could be material.

Revenues from rental properties, net –
The increase in Revenues from rental properties, net of $32.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the corresponding period in 2024, is primarily from (i) a net increase in revenues from tenants of $17.1 million, primarily due to an increase in leasing activity and net growth in the current portfolio, (ii) an increase in revenues of $10.0 million due to properties acquired during 2025 and 2024 and (iii) an increase in lease termination fee income of $5.3 million.
Real estate taxes –
The increase in Real estate taxes of $6.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the corresponding period in 2024, is primarily due to (i) an overall increase in assessed values in the current portfolio and (ii) an increase of $0.8 million due to properties acquired during 2025 and 2024.
Operating and maintenance –
The increase in Operating and maintenance expense of $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the corresponding period in 2024, is primarily due to (i) an increase in repairs and maintenance expense of $2.0 million and (ii) an increase of $1.4 million resulting from properties acquired during 2025 and 2024.
Impairment charges –
During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized impairment charges related to adjustments to property carrying values of $0.5 million and $3.7 million, respectively, for which the Company’s estimated fair values were primarily based upon signed contracts or letters of intent from third-party offers. These adjustments to property carrying values were recognized in connection with the Company’s efforts to market certain properties and management’s assessment as to the likelihood and timing of such potential transactions. Certain of the calculations to determine fair values utilized unobservable inputs and, as such, were classified as Level 3 of the FASB’s fair value hierarchy.
Merger charges –
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company incurred costs of $25.2 million associated with the RPT Merger, primarily comprised of severance and professional and legal fees.
Depreciation and amortization –
The increase in Depreciation and amortization of $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the corresponding period in 2024, is primarily due to (i) an increase of $8.0 million due to depreciation commencing on certain redevelopment projects and tenant improvement projects that were placed into service during 2025 and 2024 and (ii) an increase of $2.7 million resulting from properties acquired during 2025 and 2024, partially offset by (iii) a net decrease of $7.0 million due to fully depreciated assets and write-offs, primarily from demolition and vacated tenants during 2025 and 2024.
Other income, net –
The decrease in Other income, net of $9.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the corresponding period in 2024, is primarily due to (i) a decrease in interest income of $5.2 million resulting from lower cash balances, (ii) a decrease in dividend income of $1.7 million, primarily due to the sale of the remaining shares of ACI common stock held by the Company during 2024, and (iii) a decrease of $2.5 million from settlement of a contract during 2024.
Mortgage and other financing income, net –
The increase in Mortgage and other financing income, net of $8.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the corresponding period in 2024, is primarily due to (i) the Company’s origination of new loan financing during 2025 and 2024 and (ii) a decrease in provision for credit losses of $2.0 million, partially offset by (iii) loan repayments during 2025 and 2024.
Loss on marketable securities, net –
The change in Loss on marketable securities, net of $27.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the corresponding period in 2024, is due to mark-to-market fluctuations during 2025 and 2024 and the sale of the remaining shares of ACI common stock held by the Company during 2024.
Interest expense –
The increase in Interest expense of $5.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the corresponding period in 2024, is primarily due to (i) the issuance of unsecured notes and assumption of a mortgage loan during 2024, partially offset by (ii) the paydown of unsecured notes and repayment of mortgage loans during 2025 and 2024.
Provision for income taxes, net –
The decrease in Provision for income taxes, net of $71.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the corresponding period in 2024, is primarily due to the Company’s sale of shares of ACI common stock during 2024, which generated
taxable long-term capital gains. The Company retained the proceeds from the sale during 2024 and, as a result, recorded estimated federal and state income taxes on these gains.
Tenant Concentration
The Company reduces its operating and leasing risks through diversification achieved by the geographic distribution of its properties and a large tenant base. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had interests in 567 U.S. shopping center properties, aggregating 100.9 million square feet of GLA, located in 30 states. At March 31, 2025, the Company’s five largest tenants were The TJX Companies, Ross Stores, The Home Depot, Burlington Stores, Inc. and Amazon/Whole Foods, which represented 3.7%, 1.8%, 1.8%, 1.8% and 1.7%, respectively, of the Company’s annualized base rental revenues, including the proportionate share of base rental revenues from properties in which the Company has less than a 100% economic interest.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company’s capital resources include accessing the public debt and equity capital markets, unsecured term loans, mortgages and construction loan financing, and immediate access to the Credit Facility with bank commitments of $2.0 billion, which can be increased to $2.75 billion through an accordion feature.
The Company anticipates that net cash flow provided by operating activities, borrowings under its Credit Facility and the issuance of equity, public debt, as well as other debt and equity alternatives, will provide the necessary capital required by the Company. The Company will continue to evaluate its capital requirements for both its short-term and long-term liquidity needs, which could be affected by various risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the effects of the current economic environment, interest rates, inflation, international tariffs or other trade restrictions, and other risks detailed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 as supplemented by the risks and uncertainties identified under Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The Term Loans accrue interest at the rate of Adjusted Term SOFR plus an applicable spread determined by the Company’s credit rating outlook and sustainability metric targets, as described in the agreement. As of March 31, 2025, the interest rates on the Term Loans is Adjusted Term SOFR plus 81.0 basis points after reductions for an upgraded credit rating profile and sustainability metrics achieved. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had 20 swap rate agreements with various lenders swapping the interest rates on the Term Loan to all-in fixed rates ranging from 4.5793% to 4.7801%.
The Company has a $550.0 million unsecured term loan credit facility (the “Term Loan Credit Facility”) with a group of banks, which is scheduled to mature in January 2026 with three one-year options to extend the maturity date, at the Company’s discretion, to January 2029. The Term Loan Credit Facility accrues interest at a spread (currently 80.0 basis points after reductions for an upgraded credit rating profile) to the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate (as defined in the credit agreement) that fluctuates in accordance with changes in Kimco’s senior debt ratings. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had six swap rate agreements with various lenders swapping the overall interest rate on the $550.0 million Term Loan Credit Facility to an all-in fixed rate of 4.6122%.
Mortgages Payable –
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company repaid $48.9 million of mortgage debt (including fair market value adjustment of $0.1 million) that encumbered three operating properties.
In addition to the public equity and debt markets as capital sources, the Company may, from time to time, obtain mortgage financing on selected properties to partially fund the capital needs of its real estate re-development and re-tenanting projects. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had over 530 unencumbered property interests in its portfolio.
Other –
The Parent Company guarantees the unsecured debt instruments of Kimco OP, including the Credit Facility. These guarantees by the Parent Company are full, irrevocable, unconditional and absolute joint and several guarantees to the holders of each series of such unsecured debt instruments.
The Company has issued letters of credit in connection with completion and repayment guarantees, primarily on certain of the Company’s redevelopment projects and guaranty of payment related to the Company’s insurance program. At March 31, 2025, these letters of credit aggregated $43.6 million.
The Company has investments with funding commitments of $30.9 million, of which $22.2 million has been funded as of March 31, 2025. In addition, the Company has mortgage and other financing receivables with undrawn loan advances of $9.7 million as of March 31, 2025.
In connection with the construction of its development/redevelopment projects and related infrastructure, certain public agencies require posting of performance and surety bonds to guarantee that the Company’s obligations are satisfied. These bonds expire upon the completion of the improvements and infrastructure. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had $15.7 million in performance and surety bonds outstanding.
The Company provides a guaranty for the payment of any debt service shortfalls on the Sheridan Redevelopment Agency issued Series A bonds, which are tax increment revenue bonds issued in connection with a development project in Sheridan, Colorado. These tax increment revenue bonds have a balance of $36.2 million outstanding at March 31, 2025. The bonds are to be repaid with incremental sales and property taxes and a public improvement fee ("PIF") to be assessed on current and future retail sales and, to the extent necessary, any amounts we may have to provide under a guaranty. The revenue generated from incremental sales, property taxes and PIF have satisfied the debt service requirements to date. The incremental taxes and PIF are to remain intact until the earlier of the payment of the bond liability in full or 2040.
Dividends –
In connection with its intention to continue to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Company expects to continue paying regular dividends to its stockholders. These dividends will be paid from operating cash flows. The Company’s Board of Directors will continue to evaluate the Company’s dividend policy on a quarterly basis as it monitors sources of capital and evaluates the impact of the economy and capital markets availability on operating fundamentals. Since cash used to pay dividends reduces amounts available for capital investment, the Company generally intends to maintain a dividend payout ratio which reserves such amounts as it considers necessary for the expansion and renovation of shopping centers in its portfolio, debt reduction, the acquisition of interests in new properties and other investments as suitable opportunities arise and such other factors as the Board of Directors considers appropriate. Cash dividends paid for common and preferred stock for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were $177.5 million and $168.3 million, respectively.
Although the Company receives substantially all of its rental payments on a monthly basis, it generally intends to continue paying dividends quarterly. Amounts accumulated in advance of each quarterly distribution will be invested by the Company in short-term money market or other suitable instruments. The Company’s objective is to establish a dividend level that maintains compliance with the Company’s REIT taxable income distribution requirements. On February 6, 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend with respect to the Company’s classes of cumulative redeemable preferred shares (Classes L, M and N), which were paid on April 15, 2025, to shareholders of record on April 1, 2025. In addition, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.25 per common share, which was paid on March 21, 2025 to shareholders of record on March 7, 2025.
On April 28, 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors declared quarterly dividends with respect to the Company’s classes of cumulative redeemable preferred shares (Classes L, M and N), which are scheduled to be paid on July 15, 2025, to shareholders of record on July 1, 2025. Additionally, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.25 per common share payable on June 20, 2025 to shareholders of record on June 6, 2025.
Natural Disaster Impact –
The Company did not incur any significant damage to its properties in January 2025 as a result of the California wildfires, which primarily impacted Los Angeles and the surrounding areas.
Effects of Inflation
Many of the Company’s long-term leases contain provisions designed to help mitigate the adverse impact of inflation. Such provisions include clauses enabling the Company to receive payment of additional rent calculated as a percentage of tenants’ gross sales above pre-determined thresholds, which generally increase as prices rise, and/or as a result of escalation clauses, which generally increase rental rates during the terms of the leases. Such escalation clauses often include increases based upon changes in the consumer price index or similar inflation indices. In addition, many of the Company’s leases are for terms of less than 10 years, which permits the Company to seek to increase rents to market rates upon renewal. To assist in partially mitigating the Company’s exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses, including common area maintenance costs, real estate taxes and insurance, resulting from inflation, the Company’s leases include provisions that either (i) require the tenant to pay an allocable share of these operating expenses or (ii) contain fixed contractual amounts, which include escalation clauses, to reimburse these operating expenses.
Funds From Operations (“FFO”)
FFO is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure utilized to evaluate the operating performance of real estate companies. NAREIT defines FFO as net income/(loss) available to the Company’s common shareholders computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding (i) depreciation and amortization related to real estate, (ii) gains or losses from sales of certain real estate assets, (iii) gains and losses from change in control, (iv) impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity and (v) after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. The Company also made an election, in accordance with the NAREIT
Funds From Operations White Paper-2018 Restatement, to exclude from its calculation of FFO (i) gains and losses on the sale of assets and impairments of assets incidental to its main business and (ii) mark-to-market changes in the value of its equity securities. As such, the Company does not include gains/impairments on land parcels, mark-to-market gains/losses from marketable securities, allowance for credit losses on mortgage receivables, gains/impairments on other investments or other amounts considered incidental to its main business in NAREIT defined FFO, including any applicable tax effect and noncontrolling interest.
The Company presents FFO available to the Company’s common shareholders as it considers it an important supplemental measure of our operating performance and believes it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO available to the Company’s common shareholders when reporting results. Comparison of our presentation of FFO available to the Company’s common shareholders to similarly titled measures for other REITs may not necessarily be meaningful due to possible differences in the application of the NAREIT definition used by such REITs.
FFO is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure of real estate companies’ operating performances, which does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, and therefore, should not be considered an alternative for net income or cash flows from operations as a measure of liquidity.
The Company’s reconciliation of Net income/(loss) available to the Company’s common shareholders to FFO available to the Company’s common shareholders is reflected in the table below (amounts presented in thousands, except per share data).

- Reflects the potential impact of convertible preferred shares and certain units if converted to common stock at the beginning of the period. FFO available to the Company’s common shareholders would be increased by $2,082 and $2,443 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The effect of other certain convertible units would have an anti-dilutive effect upon the calculation of FFO available to the Company’s common shareholders per share. Accordingly, the impact of such conversion has not been included in the determination of diluted FFO per share calculations.
- Includes merger-related charges of $25.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Same Property Net Operating Income (“Same property NOI”)
Same property NOI is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure of real estate companies’ operating performance and should not be considered an alternative to net income in accordance with GAAP or as a measure of liquidity. The Company considers Same property NOI as an important operating performance measure frequently used by analysts and investors because it includes only the net operating income of operating properties that have been owned and stabilized by the Company for the entire current and prior year reporting periods. It excludes properties under redevelopment, development and pending stabilization; properties are deemed stabilized at the earlier of (i) reaching 90% leased or (ii) one year following a project’s inclusion in operating real estate. Same property NOI assists in eliminating disparities due to the development, redevelopment, acquisition and disposition of properties during the periods presented, and thus provides a more consistent performance measure for the comparison of the Company's properties.
Same property NOI is calculated using revenues from rental properties (excluding straight-line rent adjustments, lease termination fee income, net, and amortization of above/below-market rents), less charges for credit losses, operating and maintenance expense, real estate taxes and rent expense, plus the Company’s proportionate share of Same property NOI from unconsolidated real estate joint ventures, calculated on the same basis. The Company’s method of calculating Same property NOI available to the Company’s common shareholders, which may differ from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs, discloses with and without the impact from development projects.
The following is a reconciliation of Net income/(loss) available to the Company’s common shareholders to Same property NOI (in thousands):

- Amounts represent the Same property NOI from RPT properties, not included in the Company's Net income/(loss) available to the Company's common shareholders.
Same property NOI increased by $14.9 million, or 3.9%, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the corresponding period in 2024. This increase is primarily the result of (i) an increase of $12.8 million in minimum rent, primarily related to strong leasing activity, and (ii) an increase in net recovery income of $2.2 million.
Leasing Activity
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company executed 451 leases totaling 3.9 million square feet in the Company’s consolidated operating portfolio, comprised of 116 new leases and 335 renewals and options. The leasing costs associated with these new leases are estimated to aggregate $28.5 million, or $35.62 per square foot. These costs include $21.2 million of tenant improvements and $7.3 million of external leasing commissions. The average rent per square foot for (i) new leases was $23.93 and (ii) renewals and options was $18.95.
Tenant Lease Expirations
At March 31, 2025, the Company has a total of 9,372 leases in its consolidated operating portfolio. The following table sets forth the aggregate lease expirations for each of the next ten years, assuming no renewal options are exercised. For purposes of the table, the Total Annual Base Rent Expiring represents annualized rental revenue, excluding the impact of straight-line rent, for each lease that expires during the respective year.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
The Company’s primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk. The Company periodically evaluates its exposure to short-term interest rates and will, from time-to-time, enter into interest rate protection agreements, which mitigate, but do not eliminate, the effect of changes in interest rates on its floating-rate debt. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had 26 interest rate swaps with notional amounts aggregating to $860.0 million. The interest rate swap agreements are designated as cash flow hedges and are held by the Company to reduce the impact of changes in interest rates on variable rate debt. The hedged debt is reflected as fixed rate unsecured debt in the table below. The Company has not entered, and does not plan to enter, into any derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
The following table presents the carrying value of the Company’s aggregate fixed rate and variable rate debt obligations outstanding, including fair market value adjustments and unamortized deferred financing costs, as of March 31, 2025, with corresponding weighted-average interest rates sorted by maturity date. In addition, the following table presents the fair value of the Company’s debt obligations outstanding, excluding unamortized deferred financing costs. The table does not include extension options where available (amounts in millions).

A-4
Restrictions lapse, by filing an election under Section 83(b) of the Code (an “83(b) Election”) with the Internal Revenue Service within 30 days of the Award Date. In the event the Participant files an 83(b) Election, the Participant will recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the difference between the amount, if any, paid for the shares of Common Stock and the Fair Market Value of such shares as of the Award Date.

The Participant will not urge as a defense that there is an adequate remedy at law.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Plan shall be administered, and the Award of LTIP Units is made, only in such a manner as to conform to such laws, rules and regulations. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Plan, this Agreement and the Award shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such laws, rules and regulations.

However, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Grant Notice or this Agreement, if at any time the Administrator determines that the Performance Shares and/or the Restricted Shares (or any portion thereof) may be subject to Section 409A, the Administrator shall have the right in its sole discretion (without any obligation to do so or to indemnify Participant or any other person for failure to do so) to adopt such amendments to the Plan, the Grant Notice or this Agreement, or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, as the Administrator determines are necessary or appropriate either for the Performance Shares and/or Restricted Shares to be exempt from the application of Section 409A or to comply with the requirements of Section 409A.
- Limitation on Participant’s Rights. Participation in the Plan confers no rights or interests other than as herein provided. This Agreement creates only a contractual obligation on the part of the Company as to amounts payable and shall not be construed as creating a trust. Neither the Plan nor any underlying program, in and of itself, has any assets. Participant shall have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to amounts credited and benefits payable, if any, with respect to the Performance Shares and the Shares, and rights no greater than the right to receive shares of Common Stock as a general unsecured creditor with respect to the Performance Shares and/or the Shares, as and when payable hereunder. Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall confer upon Participant any right to continue in the employ or service of the Company or any Affiliate or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company and its Affiliates, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge or terminate the services of Participant at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause, except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in a written agreement between the Company or an Affiliate and Participant.

- LTIP Units Subject to Operating Agreement; Transfer Restrictions
(a) The Award and the LTIP Units are subject to the terms of the Plan and the terms of the Operating Agreement, including, without limitation, the restrictions on transfer of Units (including, without limitation, LTIP Units) set forth therein. Any permitted transferee of the Award or LTIP Units shall take such Award or LTIP Units subject to the terms of the Plan, this Agreement, and the Operating Agreement. Any such permitted transferee must, upon the request of the Partnership, agree to be bound by the Plan, the Operating Agreement, and this Agreement, and shall execute the same on request, and must agree to such other waivers, limitations, and restrictions as the Partnership or the Company may reasonably require. Any Transfer of the Award or LTIP Units which is not made in compliance with the Plan, the Operating Agreement and this Agreement shall be null and void and of no effect.
(b) Without the consent of the Administrator (which it may give or withhold in its sole discretion), the Participant shall not sell, pledge, assign, hypothecate, transfer, or otherwise dispose of (collectively, “Transfer”) any unvested LTIP Units or any portion of the Award attributable to such unvested LTIP Units (or any securities into which such unvested LTIP Units are converted or exchanged), other than by will or pursuant to the laws of descent and distribution (the “Transfer Restrictions”); provided, however, that the Transfer Restrictions shall not apply to any Transfer of unvested LTIP Units or of the Award to the Partnership or the Company.
Vesting. Subject to Section 3.3 below, the Award shall vest and the Restrictions shall lapse and the LTIP Units will vest and become non-forfeitable on the Vesting Date as follows:
The vesting of the LTIP Units is contingent on the attainment of the Performance Goals. Accordingly, the LTIP Units subject to this Agreement shall not become vested unless and until the Administrator determines whether and to what extent the Performance Goals have been attained. Upon such determination by the Administrator and subject to the provisions of the Plan and this Agreement, Participant shall be eligible to vest in that portion of the LTIP Units as corresponds to the Performance Goals attained (as determined by the Administrator in
A-5
its sole discretion) as set forth in Section 3.2(b) below, and any LTIP Units granted hereby which do not become vested as of the Vesting Date shall automatically be cancelled and forfeited without payment of any consideration therefor, and the Participant shall have no further right to or interest in such LTIP Units.
The number of LTIP Units that shall become vested on the Vesting Date shall be determined as of the applicable Valuation Date, based on the Company’s Total Stockholder Return, as follows:
If, as of a Valuation Date, the Company’s TSR with respect to the period beginning on the Performance Commencement Date and ending on such Valuation Date is less than the Minimum TSR, then all of the LTIP Units shall thereupon be forfeited.
If, as of a Valuation Date, the Company’s TSR with respect to the period beginning on the Performance Commencement Date and ending on such Valuation Date is equal to the Minimum TSR, then 25% of the Base Number of LTIP Units set forth on the Grant Notice plus the applicable number of Distribution Equivalent Units shall vest on the Vesting Date, and the remaining LTIP Units shall thereupon be forfeited.
If, as of a Valuation Date, the Company’s TSR with respect to the period beginning on the Performance Commencement Date and ending on such Valuation Date is equal to the Target TSR, then 50% of the Base Number of LTIP Units set forth on the Grant Notice plus the applicable number of Distribution Equivalent Units shall vest on the Vesting Date, and the remaining LTIP Units shall thereupon be forfeited.
If, as of a Valuation Date, the Company’s TSR with respect to the period beginning on the Performance Commencement Date and ending on such Valuation Date is equal to the 75% TSR, then 75% of the Base Number of LTIP Units set forth on the Grant Notice plus the applicable number of Distribution Equivalent Units shall vest on the Vesting Date, and the remaining LTIP Units shall thereupon be forfeited.
If, as of a Valuation Date, the Company’s TSR with respect to the period beginning on the Performance Commencement Date and ending on such Valuation Date is equal to the Maximum TSR, then 100% of the Base Number of LTIP Units set forth on the Grant Notice plus the applicable number of Distribution Equivalent Units shall vest on the Vesting Date, and the remaining LTIP Units shall thereupon be forfeited.
The number of LTIP Units that are eligible to vest if, as of a Valuation Date, the Company’s Total Stockholder Return with respect to the period beginning on the Performance Commencement Date and ending on such Valuation Date is between the Minimum TSR and the Target TSR, between the Target TSR and the 75% TSR or between the 75% TSR and the Maximum TSR, shall be determined by means of linear interpolation and the remaining LTIP Units shall thereupon be forfeited. For the avoidance of doubt, the maximum number of LTIP Units that may become vested hereunder with respect to the Performance Period shall not exceed the Total Number of LTIP Units, and no additional LTIP Units above the Total Number of Vested Units shall be awarded if the Company’s TSR exceeds the Maximum TSR (the limitations described in this sentence, the “Limitation Provisions”).
For the avoidance of doubt, that number of LTIP Units, if any, that constitute Distribution Equivalent Units as of the Vesting Date shall thereupon vest in full on the Vesting Date. Participant shall not be entitled to any payment for a Distribution Equivalent Unit with respect to any dividend with a record date that occurs prior to the Performance Commencement Date or after the Vesting Date for any reason, whether due to payment, forfeiture or otherwise. If any portion of the Base Number of LTIP Units to which the Distribution Equivalent Units are linked fails to vest and is forfeited for any reason, then (i) the applicable number of Distribution Equivalent Units shall be forfeited as well, (ii) any amounts otherwise payable in respect of such Distribution Equivalent Units shall be forfeited without payment, and (iii) the Company shall have no further obligations in respect of such Distribution Equivalent Units.
A-6
Forfeiture.
Termination of Service. Subject to Section 3.3(b) below, any portion of the Award (including any Distribution Equivalent Units) which is not vested upon the Participant’s Termination of Service that occurs prior to the Valuation Date shall thereupon be forfeited immediately and without any further action by the Company.
Qualifying Termination. Notwithstanding Section 3.3(a), in the event of a Termination of Service as a result of a Qualifying Termination, Participant shall remain eligible to vest in the LTIP Units (including any Distribution Equivalent Units) subject to the terms of Section 3.2(b) above without regard to the continued employment condition. Any such vesting shall occur on the applicable Vesting Date. Any LTIP Units granted hereunder that do not become fully vested in accordance with the preceding sentence shall automatically be cancelled and forfeited as of the completion of the Performance Period without payment of any consideration therefor, and the Participant shall have no further right or interest in or with respect to such LTIP Units.
Change in Control. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, in the event of a Change in Control at any time prior to the Measurement Date, that number of LTIP Units determined pursuant to Section 3.2(b) hereof (including any Distribution Equivalent Units) for the period beginning on the Performance Commencement Date and ending on the date of the Change in Control shall continue to vest over the remainder of the Performance Period (such LTIP Units, the “Restricted Units”), subject to (i) immediate vesting of the Restricted Units in the event of a Qualifying Termination (before or after the Change in Control), (ii) immediate vesting of the Restricted Units in the event the successor corporation (or any of its parent entities) does not assume or substitute the Restricted Units for equivalent rights in connection with such Change in Control, and (iii) immediate vesting of the Restricted Units on the earlier of (A) the date of the Change in Control if Participant is eligible for Retirement on such date, or (B) the date Participant becomes eligible for Retirement if Participant is not eligible for Retirement on the date of the Change in Control. If Participant incurs a Termination of Service that does not qualify as a Qualifying Termination, all outstanding Restricted Units shall be immediately forfeited. Any LTIP Units that are not Restricted Units as of a Change in Control shall be forfeited.
Adjustments Upon Specified Events. The Administrator may accelerate the vesting of the LTIP Units in such circumstances as it, in its sole discretion, may determine. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain events relating to the shares of the Common Stock contemplated by Section 12.2 of the Plan or equity securities of the Partnership, the Administrator shall make such adjustments as the Administrator deems appropriate in the number of LTIP Units then outstanding and the number and kind of securities that may be issued in respect of the LTIP Units. Participant acknowledges that the LTIP Units are subject to amendment, modification and termination in certain events as provided in this Agreement, Section 12.2 of the Plan and the Operating Agreement.
Distribution Equivalent Unit Cash Payment. If, but for the effect of the Limitation Provisions, the total number of Distribution Equivalent Units calculated in accordance with the definition set forth in the definition of “Distribution Equivalent Units” would have resulted in the Total Number of Vested Units to exceed the Total Number of LTIP Units (such hypothetical excess, the “Shortfall Units”), then the Partnership (or another Kimco entity designated by the Partnership) shall pay to the Participant a cash amount equal to the Net Dividend Amount attributable solely to the Shortfall Units (and not, for the avoidance of doubt, any Net Dividend Amount attributable to the Distribution Equivalent Units), less any tax withholdings required by law (the “DEU Cash Payment”). The DEU Cash Payment shall be paid no later than March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Valuation Date occurs.
ARTICLE IV. OTHER PROVISIONS
Section 4.1 Execution and Return of Documents and Certificates. At the Company’s or the Partnership’s request, the Participant hereby agrees to promptly execute, deliver and return to the Partnership any and all documents or certificates that the Company or the Partnership deems necessary or desirable to effectuate the cancellation and
A-7
forfeiture of the unvested LTIP Units and the portion of the Award attributable to the unvested LTIP Units, or to effectuate the transfer or surrender of such unvested LTIP Units and portion of the Award to the Partnership.
Section 4.2 Determinations by Administrator. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, all determinations, interpretations and assumptions relating to the vesting of the Award (including, without limitation, determinations, interpretations and assumptions with respect to the calculation of TSR and the extent to which the Performance Goals have been attained (if at all)) shall be made by the Administrator. In making such determinations, the Administrator may employ attorneys, consultants, accountants, appraisers, brokers, or other persons, and the Administrator, the Board, the Company, the Partnership and their officers and directors shall be entitled to rely upon the advice, opinions or valuations of any such persons. All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Administrator in good faith and absent manifest error shall be final and binding upon the Participant, the Company and all other interested persons. In addition, the Administrator, in its discretion, may adjust or modify the methodology for calculations relating to the vesting of the Award (including, without limitation, the methodology for calculating TSR), as necessary or desirable to account for events affecting the value of the Common Stock which, in the discretion of the Administrator, are not considered indicative of Company performance, which may include events such as the issuance of new Common Stock, stock repurchases, stock splits, issuances and/or exercises of stock grants or stock options, and similar events, all in order to properly reflect the Company’s intent with respect to the performance objectives underlying the Award or to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available with respect to the Award.
Section 4.3 Covenants, Representations and Warranties. The Participant hereby represents, warrants, covenants, acknowledges and agrees on behalf of the Participant and his or her spouse, if applicable, that:
(a) Investment. The Participant is holding the Award and the LTIP Units for the Participant’s own account, and not for the account of any other Person. The Participant is holding the Award and the LTIP Units for investment and not with a view to distribution or resale thereof except in compliance with applicable laws regulating securities.
(b) Relation to the Partnership. The Participant is presently an executive officer and Employee of, or Consultant to, the Partnership, or is otherwise providing services to or for the benefit of the Partnership, and in such capacity has become personally familiar with the business of the Partnership.
(c) Access to Information. The Participant has had the opportunity to ask questions of, and to receive answers from, the Partnership with respect to the terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and with respect to the business, affairs, financial conditions, and results of operations of the Partnership.
(d) Registration. The Participant understands that the LTIP Units have not been registered under the Securities Act, and the LTIP Units cannot be transferred by the Participant unless such transfer is registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. The Partnership has made no agreements, covenants or undertakings whatsoever to register the transfer of the LTIP Units under the Securities Act. The Partnership has made no representations, warranties, or covenants whatsoever as to whether any exemption from the Securities Act, including, without limitation, any exemption for limited sales in routine brokers’ transactions pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act, will be available. If an exemption under Rule 144 is available at all, it will not be available until at least six (6) months from issuance of the Award and then not unless the terms and conditions of Rule 144 have been satisfied.
(e) Public Trading. None of the Partnership’s securities are presently publicly traded, and the Partnership has made no representations, covenants or agreements as to whether there will be a public market for any of its securities.
(f) Tax Advice. The Partnership has made no warranties or representations to the Participant with respect to the income tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, without limitation, with respect to the decision of whether to make an election under Section 83(b) of the Code), and the Participant is in no manner relying on the Partnership or its representatives for an assessment of such tax
A-8
consequences. The Participant is advised to consult with his or her own tax advisor with respect to such tax consequences and his or her ownership of the LTIP Units.
Section 4.4 Capital Account. The Participant shall make no contribution of capital to the Partnership in connection with the Award and, as a result, the Participant’s Capital Account (as defined in the Operating Agreement) balance in the Partnership immediately after its receipt of the LTIP Units shall be equal to zero, unless the Participant was a member in the Partnership prior to such issuance, in which case the Participant’s Capital Account balance shall not be increased as a result of the Partnership’s receipt of the LTIP Units.
Section 4.5 Conversion Rights. Notwithstanding any contrary terms in the Operating Agreement, Common Units (as defined in the Operating Agreement) that are acquired upon the conversion of the LTIP Units shall not, without the consent of the Partnership (which may be given or withheld in its sole discretion), be redeemed pursuant to Section 15.1 of the Operating Agreement within two (2) years of the date of the issuance of such LTIP Units.
Section 4.6 Section 83(b) Election. The Participant covenants that the Participant shall make a timely election under Section 83(b) of the Code (and any comparable election in the state of the Participant’s residence) with respect to the LTIP Units covered by the Award, and the Partnership hereby consents to the making of such election(s). In connection with such election, the Participant and the Participant’s spouse, if applicable, shall promptly provide a copy of such election to the Partnership. A form of election under Section 83(b) of the Code is attached hereto as Exhibit C. The Participant represents that the Participant is hereby advised to consult a tax advisor(s) that the Participant deems advisable in connection with the filing of an election under Section 83(b) of the Code and similar state tax provisions.
THE PARTICIPANT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS THE PARTICIPANT’S SOLE RESPONSIBILITY AND NOT THE COMPANY’S OR THE PARTNERSHIP’S OR ITS SUBSIDIARIES’ OR AFFILIATES’ OR THEIR RESPECTIVE REPRESENTATIVES’ RESPONSIBILITY TO TIMELY FILE THE ELECTION UNDER CODE SECTION 83(b), EVEN IF THE PARTICIPANT REQUESTS THAT THE COMPANY, THE PARTNERSHIP, ITS SUBSIDIARIES OR AFFILIATES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE REPRESENTATIVES TO MAKE THIS FILING ON PARTICIPANT’S BEHALF.
Section 4.7 Ownership Information. The Participant hereby covenants that so long as the Participant holds any LTIP Units, at the request of the Partnership, the Participant shall disclose to the Partnership in writing such information relating to the Participant’s ownership of the LTIP Units as the Partnership reasonably believes to be necessary or desirable to ascertain in order to comply with the Code or the requirements of any other appropriate taxing authority.
Section 4.8 Taxes. The Partnership and the Participant intend that (i) the LTIP Units be treated as “profits interests” as defined in Internal Revenue Service Revenue Procedure 93-27, as clarified by Revenue Procedure 2001-43, (ii) the issuance of such units not be a taxable event to the Partnership or the Participant as provided in such revenue procedure, and (iii) the Operating Agreement, the Plan and this Agreement be interpreted consistently with such intent. In furtherance of such intent, effective immediately prior to the issuance of the LTIP Units, the Partnership may revalue all Partnership assets to their respective gross fair market values, and make the resulting adjustments to the Capital Accounts of the partners, in each case as set forth in the Operating Agreement. The Company, the Partnership or any Subsidiary may withhold from the Participant’s wages, or require the Participant to pay to such entity, any applicable withholding or employment taxes resulting from the issuance of the Award hereunder, from the vesting or lapse of any restrictions imposed on the Award, or from the ownership or disposition of the LTIP Units.
Section 4.9 Remedies. The Participant shall be liable to the Partnership for all costs and damages, including incidental and consequential damages, resulting from a disposition of the Award or the LTIP Units which is in violation of the provisions of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Participant
A-9
agrees that the Partnership shall be entitled to obtain specific performance of the obligations of the Participant under this Agreement and immediate injunctive relief in the event any action or proceeding is brought in equity to enforce the same. The Participant will not urge as a defense that there is an adequate remedy at law.
Section 4.10 Restrictive Legends. Certificates evidencing the Award, to the extent such certificates are issued, may bear such restrictive legends as the Partnership and/or the Partnership’s counsel may deem necessary or advisable under applicable law or pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, the following legends or any legends similar thereto:
“The securities represented hereby have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Any transfer of such securities will be invalid unless a Registration Statement under the Securities Act is in effect as to such transfer or in the opinion of counsel for Kimco Realty OP, LLC (the “Partnership”) such registration is unnecessary in order for such transfer to comply with the Securities Act.”
“The securities represented hereby are subject to forfeiture, transferability and other restrictions as set forth in (i) a written agreement with the Partnership, (ii) the Kimco Realty Corporation 2025 Equity Participation Plan and (iii) the Limited Liability Company Agreement of the Partnership, in each case, as has been and as may in the future be amended (or amended and restated) from time to time, and such securities may not be sold or otherwise transferred except pursuant to the provisions of such documents.”
Section 4.11 Restrictions on Public Sale by the Participant. To the extent not inconsistent with applicable law, the Participant agrees not to effect any sale or distribution of the LTIP Units or any similar security of the Company or the Partnership, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, including a sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, during the fourteen (14) days prior to, and during the up to 180-day period beginning on, the date of the pricing of any public or private debt or equity securities offering by the Company or the Partnership (except as part of such offering), if and to the extent requested in writing by the Partnership or the Company in the case of a non-underwritten public or private offering or if and to the extent requested in writing by the managing underwriter or underwriters (or initial purchaser or initial purchasers, as the case may be) and consented to by the Partnership or the Company, which consent may be given or withheld in the Partnership’s or the Company’s sole and absolute discretion, in the case of an underwritten public or private offering (such agreement to be in the form of a lock-up agreement provided by the Company, the Partnership, managing underwriter or underwriters, or initial purchaser or purchasers as the case may be).
Section 4.12 Conformity to Securities Laws. The Participant acknowledges that the Plan and this Agreement are intended to conform to the extent necessary with all provisions of all applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulations (including, but not limited to the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and any and all regulations and rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, including without limitation the applicable exemptive conditions of Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act) and to such approvals by any listing, regulatory or other governmental authority as may, in the opinion of counsel for the Partnership or the Company, be necessary or advisable in connection therewith. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Plan shall be administered, and the Award of LTIP Units is made, only in such a manner as to conform to such laws, rules and regulations. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Plan, this Agreement and the Award shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such laws, rules and regulations.
Section 4.13 No Right to Continued Service. Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon the Participant any right to continue as an Eligible Individual of the Company, the Partnership or any Subsidiary, or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company, the Partnership or any Subsidiary, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge the Participant at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause.
Section 4.14 Non-Solicitation.
A-10
(a) During the Participant’s active period of employment with or service to the Company or any of its Affiliates and during the two year period immediately following the Participant’s Termination of Service (the “Restricted Period”), the Participant shall not (i) in any capacity, solicit for employment, or recommend that another person solicit for employment, any person who is an active employee of the Company at the time of said solicitation or (ii) on behalf of the Participant, or any other person, firm or corporation, solicit for competitive purposes, directly or indirectly, any of the Company’s customers, clients, tenants, and business or joint venture partners with whom Participant had contact while working for the Company or any of its Affiliates. For purposes of this Section 4.14(a), the term “contact” shall mean engaging in any communication, whether written or oral, with the customer, client, tenant, supplier and business or joint venture partner or representative thereof that results or is reasonably expected to result in a material loss of existing business for the Company or any of its Affiliates. If Participant breaches this Section 4.14(a), the Restricted Period for non-solicitation shall not expire until Participant is out of breach for a period of one (1) year (or, if longer, the end of the Restricted Period). The Participant acknowledges that the provisions of this Section 4.14 are reasonable and shall be in addition to any similar provisions the Participant may have entered into with the Company or any of its Affiliates.
(b) In the event the terms of this Section 4.14 shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable by reason of its extending for too great a period of time or over too great a geographical area or by reason of its being too extensive in any other respect, it will be interpreted to extend only over the maximum period of time for which it may be enforceable, over the maximum geographical area as to which it may be enforceable, or to the maximum extent in all other respects as to which it may be enforceable, all as determined by such court in such action.
Section 4.15 Miscellaneous.
(a) Incorporation of the Plan. This Agreement is made under and subject to and governed by all of the terms and conditions of the Plan. In the event of any discrepancy or inconsistency between this Agreement and the Plan, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall control. By signing this Agreement, the Participant confirms that he or she has received access to a copy of the Plan and has had an opportunity to review the contents thereof.
(b) Clawback. This Award shall be subject to any clawback or recoupment policy currently in effect or as may be adopted by the Company or the Partnership, in each case, as may be amended from time to time.
(c) Successors and Assigns. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the executors, administrators, heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto, including, without limitation, any business entity that succeeds to the business of the Company or the Partnership.
(d) Entire Agreement and Waivers. This Agreement, together with the Plan and the Operating Agreement, constitutes the entire agreement among the parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions, whether oral or written, of the parties. In the event that the provisions of such other agreement or letter conflict or are inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provision hereof (whether or not similar), nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly provided.
(e) Amendment, Suspension and Termination. The Award may be wholly or partially amended or otherwise modified, suspended or terminated at any time or from time to time by the Administrator or the Board, provided, that, except as may otherwise be provided by the Plan, neither the amendment, suspension nor termination of this Agreement shall, without the consent of the Participant, alter or impair any rights or obligations under the Award.
(f) Survival of Representations and Warranties. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in Section 4.3 hereof shall survive the later of the date of execution and delivery of this Agreement or the issuance of the Award.
A-11
(f) Severability. If for any reason one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other instrument referred to herein, shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, then to the maximum extent permitted by law, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement or any other such instrument.
(g) Titles. The titles, captions or headings of the Sections herein are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to be a part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
(h) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, any of which may be executed and transmitted by facsimile (including, without limitation, transfer by .pdf), and each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same instrument..
(i) Governing Law. This laws of the State of New York shall govern the interpretation, validity, administration, enforcement and performance of the terms of this Agreement regardless of the law that might be applied under principles of conflicts of laws.
(j) Notices. Notices required or permitted hereunder shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon personal delivery or upon deposit in the United States mail by certified mail, with postage and fees prepaid, electronic mail or facsimile addressed to the Participant to the Participant’s address, email address or facsimile number shown in the Company records, and to the Company at its principal executive office or the Secretary’s then-current email address or facsimile number.
(k) Electronic Communications. The Company and its Affiliates may choose to deliver any documents related to the Participant’s current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means. By accepting the Award, the Participant consents and agrees to electronic delivery of any Plan documents, proxy materials, annual reports and other related documents, including all materials required to be distributed pursuant to applicable securities laws. The Company has established procedures for an electronic signature system for delivery and acceptance of Plan documents (including documents relating to any programs adopted under the Plan).
