Provisional Purchase Price Allocation

In accordance with ASC 805-10, Business Combinations, the Company accounted for the RPT Merger as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. Based on the total value of the consideration, the total fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the RPT Merger was $1.4 billion. The following table summarizes the provisional purchase price allocation based on the Company's initial valuation, including estimates and assumptions of the acquisition date fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed (in thousands):

	Provisional Allocation as of March 31, 2024
Land	$	312,663
Building and improvements		1,340,164
In-place leases		220,607
Above-market leases		12,872
Real estate assets		1,886,306
Investments in and advances to real estate joint ventures		433,345
Investments in and advances to other investments		12,672
Operating lease right-of-use assets, net		6,128
Accounts receivable and other assets		57,529
Total assets acquired		2,395,980
Notes payable		(821,500	)
Accounts payable and other liabilities		(50,713	)
Operating lease liabilities		(13,506	)
Below-market leases		(67,801	)
Total liabilities assumed		(953,520	)
Total purchase price	$	1,442,460

The provisional fair market value of the acquired properties is based upon a valuation prepared by the Company with assistance of a third-party valuation specialist. The Company and valuation specialist are in the process of reviewing the inputs used by the third-party specialist to ensure reasonableness and that the procedures are performed in accordance with management's policy. Therefore, the final acquisition accounting adjustments, including the purchase price and its allocation, are not yet complete as of this filing. Once the purchase price and allocation are complete, an adjustment to the provisional purchase price or allocation may occur. Additionally, any excess purchase price, which could differ materially, may result in the recognition of goodwill, the amount of which may be significant.

The following table details the provisional weighted average amortization periods, in years, of the purchase price provisionally allocated to real estate and related intangible assets and liabilities acquired arising from the RPT Merger:

	Weighted Average Amortization Period (in Years)
