Message from Our

Lead Director

   “In 2023, Tanger once again significantly led the REIT industry in delivering total shareholder returns to investors – an outcome fueled by the shared commitment of the Board of Directors and the entire Tanger team to fulfill our mission of delivering the best value, experience, and opportunity for our communities, stakeholders and partners.”

Dear Fellow Shareholders:

I am pleased to invite you to attend our 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, which will be held virtually beginning at 10:00 am Eastern time on Friday, May 17, 2024.

As Lead Independent Director, it is my great privilege to work with Tanger’s talented and dedicated group of executives and directors. I am enormously proud of the results they have achieved on behalf of our shareholders.

Since Stephen Yalof assumed the role of Chief Executive Officer of Tanger in 2021, there has been tremendous and sustained growth, as evidenced by our leading 3-year and 1-year performance among REIT industry stocks. During that time, we have fully refreshed the balance of Tanger’s executive team with exceptional industry talent. Under their leadership, there has been a revitalization of our shopping centers and employee base, positioning the organization for ongoing value creation. This will further align the company to fulfill its vision of leveraging customer insights and experiences to inform the future of shopping. The Board is also pleased to have renewed Mr. Yalof’s employment agreement in 2023 for a three-year term.

On behalf of the Board of Directors, we thank you for your continued investment and confidence in Tanger and ask for your support on the matters described in this Proxy Statement, so that we can continue to produce positive results and increase long-term shareholder value.

Please review the Proxy Statement and our 2023 Annual Report carefully.

Performance
Highlights

2023 Business Recap

2023 was a transformative year for us, as we continued to grow our portfolio, leverage our platform capabilities to grow value for our stakeholders, and enhance the shopping experience for our customers by implementing placemaking strategies and elevating our retail offerings. Our 2023 financial results reflect our ability to:

•deliver organic growth driven by strategic leasing and proactive asset management,

•maximize traffic and shopper engagement through measurable and relevant digital communications and compelling offers in collaboration with our tenants,

•further intensify our real estate over time including outparcel activation and unlock additional revenue opportunities, and

•selectively pursue the acquisition and development of additional open-air centers.

During 2023, we continued to demonstrate our ability to create value for our shareholders,through dividends totaling $0.97, which was a 21% increase over the total dividends paid in 2022, and share price appreciation that combined to result in TSR that significantly outpaced the retail real estate investment trust (“REIT”), total REIT and S&P 500 indices. In 2023 we added three new centers to our portfolio. Our ground up development, Tanger Outlets Nashville, which features a transformational design and dynamic retail mix, and two property acquisitions – Asheville Outlets, in Asheville, NC and Bridge Street Town Centre in Huntsville, AL, the first lifestyle center in our portfolio. All three new center additions are consistent with our long-term strategy of investing in dominant open-air retail centers in markets that benefit from outsized residential and tourism growth and that we believe can immediately benefit from the Tanger leasing, marketing and operations platforms.

Performance Highlights

Net Income	Net income available to common shareholders was $0.92 per Common Share, or $98.0 million, for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to net income available to common shareholders of $0.77 per Common Share, or $81.2 million, for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Core Funds from Operations (“Core FFO”)*	Core FFO available to common shareholders was $1.96 per Comon Share, or $217.6 million, for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to $1.83 per Common Share, or $201.8 million, for the year ended December 31, 2022.*
Same Center Net Operating Income (“NOI”)*	Same Center NOI for the consolidated portfolio increased to $317.2 million for 2023 from $298.1 million for 2022 driven by growth in occupancy and rental rates during 2023.
Occupancy	97.3% occupancy for the consolidated portfolio on December 31, 2023 (compared to 96.9% on December 31, 2022). On a same center basis, occupancy was 97.8% compared to 96.9% on December 31, 2022.
Quarterly Common Share Cash Dividends	Paid $0.97 per Common Share in dividends during 2023. We paid an all-cash dividend every year since becoming a public company in May 1993.
Average Tenant Sales	Average tenant sales were $436 per square foot for the total portfolio for the year ended December 31, 2023, a decrease of 1.8% compared to the year ended December 31, 2022.
Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio*	Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA (calculated as Net Debt* divided by Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”))* for the consolidated portfolio was 5.7 times for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to 4.9 times for the year ended December 31, 2022. On a pro forma basis assuming a full year of Adjusted EBITDA from properties acquired (Tanger Outlets Asheville and Bridge Street Town Centre) or opened (Tanger Outlets Nashville) during the fourth quarter of 2023, Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA was in the range of 5.0 to 5.1 times for the year ended December 31, 2023.*
Interest Coverage Ratio*	Interest coverage ratio (calculated as Adjusted EBITDA* divided by interest expense) for the consolidated portfolio improved to 5.2 times for 2023 from 5.1 times for 2022.
Debt Compliance	Remained in full compliance with all debt covenants as of December 31, 2023.
Occupancy Cost Ratio	Occupancy cost ratio (calculated as annualized occupancy costs as of the end of the reporting period as a percentage of tenant sales for the trailing twelve-month period) of 9.3% for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to 8.6% for the year ended December 31, 2022.

*Core FFO, Same Center NOI, Net Debt, Adjusted EBITDA, Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio and interest coverage ratio are non-GAAP (as defined below) financial measures that the Company’s management believes to be important supplemental indicators of our operating performance and which are used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, but are not measures computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). Net debt to Adjusted EBITDA (pro forma) incorporates Adjusted EBITDA from properties acquired or opened during 2023, assuming a full year of Adjusted EBITDA for these. For a discussion of Core FFO, Same Center NOI, Net debt and Adjusted EBITDA including a reconciliation to their most directly comparable GAAP equivalent, please see Appendix A to this Proxy Statement.

During 2023, we further strengthened our balance sheet to position the Company with the liquidity and flexibility to invest in our growth. In May 2023, Fitch Ratings assigned a first-time ‘BBB’ long-term issuer default rating to the Company and the Operating Partnership, along with a Stable rating outlook. Fitch also assigned a ‘BBB’ rating to Operating Partnership’s senior unsecured debt, which includes our lines of credit, a term loan and senior notes. As a result, the applicable pricing margin on each of our unsecured lines of credit and our term loan was reduced by 25 basis points (including a 5 basis point reduction in the facility fee on the unsecured lines of credit). As of December 31, 2023, $300 million of the outstanding balance of the Company’s $325 million unsecured term loan, which matures in January 2027 plus a one-year extension, was fixed with interest rate swaps at a weighted average daily Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“Daily SOFR”) of 0.4%, which matured on February 1, 2024. The Company entered into $325 million of forward-starting swaps that commenced February 1, 2024 and have varying maturities through January 2027. Collectively, these swaps fix the Daily SOFR base rate at a weighted average of 3.9% as of February 1, 2024. During 2023, the Company sold 3.5 million shares at a weighted average price of $25.75 per share, generating gross proceeds of $90.0 million, and as of December 31, 2023, the Company has a remaining authorization of $220.1 million.

As of December 31, 2023, our consolidated outstanding debt aggregated approximately $1.4 billion with $89.7 million of floating rate debt, representing approximately 6% of total consolidated debt and 2% of total enterprise value. Approximately 94% of our total consolidated square footage was unencumbered by mortgages. As of December 31, 2023, our outstanding debt had a weighted average interest rate of 3.2% and a weighted average term to maturity, including extension options, of approximately 4.6 years. We have no significant debt maturities until September 2026, and we ended 2023 with $22 million of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, along with $507 million of capacity available under our $520 million unsecured lines of credit.

At Tanger, we work to create long-term value for our stakeholders, retail partners, and employee team members while we build strong communities and consider the future of our planet. We strive to integrate environmental, social and governance (ESG) principles into our business practices and address the issues most important to Tanger stakeholders. Strong governance and our core values form the foundation of our approach.

Our goal is to utilize best practices in every aspect of our business, and we continue to enhance our ESG reporting practices through alignment with highly regarded disclosure frameworks. Our ESG reporting is guided by the standards of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB), now part of the International Sustainability Standards Board, and the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). We also disclose to the Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark (GRESB) and CDP (formerly the Carbon Disclosure Project).

A portion of our 2023 short-term incentive plan for our named executive officers was contingent on achieving goals related to emissions reductions and continued progress on sustainability initiatives related to our solar platform, electric vehicle charging network and waste diversion rate.

ESG Strategic Pillars and Priorities

Our strategic pillars are focused on our priority ESG issues, which are rooted in our business strategy and informed by our stakeholders. These four pillars guide our actions and support our ambition to create long-term sustainable value:

Our
Governance Managing Our Business with Integrity We build trusting relationships and seek to create long-term value for our stakeholders with ethics as the foundation for our approach to ESG and our entire business Our
People Creating a Positive Workplace We aim to create an engaging, equitable workplace where all people are welcomed, valued, and have opportunities to thrive Our
Community Contributing to Strong, Vibrant Communities We actively serve our communities through partnerships with nonprofits, community leaders, and retailers Our
Planet Minding Our Environmental Impact We are committed to taking steps to mitigate climate change through embedding energy efficiency and sustainability measures in center operations, new center development, and retailer partnerships

Our ESG materiality process drives strategy on environmental, social, economic and governance topics. We begin by identifying opportunities and risks, and leverage external frameworks and engage stakeholders, executives and our Board members to help identify key ESG issues. These key issues are translated into operational priorities and processes across the Company.

Proxy Summary

2023 Compensation

The Company’s primary components of compensation for its executive officers are base salary, annual incentive cash bonuses, and annual long-term equity-based incentive compensation subject to time-based or performance-based vesting conditions. There is no pre-established policy or target for the allocation between cash and non-cash incentive compensation or between short-term and long-term compensation, although the Company attempts to keep total cash compensation within the Company’s fiscal year budget while reinforcing its pay-for-performance philosophy and also considering annual accounting cost and the impact of share dilution. Within the framework of aligning total compensation with corporate and individual performance, the purpose of each of the primary components of compensation is as follows:

		Pay Element		Objectives
		CEO	Other NEOs
		Base Salary	Base Salary	To provide competitive fixed pay at a level consistent with the individual’s job responsibilities relative to such individual’s peers
		Annual Incentive Cash Bonus	Annual Incentive Cash Bonus	To incentivize management to achieve the Company’s strategic and financial goals for the fiscal year, generally using a formulaic calculation
		Annual Long-Term Time-Based Equity Incentive	Annual Long-Term Time-Based Equity Incentive	To reward prior year performance and support the retention of senior management, while exposing recipients to the same market fluctuations as shareholders and thereby motivating management to create long-term shareholder value
		Performance Share Plan	Performance Share Plan	To enhance the pay-for-performance structure and shareholder alignment, while motivating and rewarding senior management for total shareholder return (“TSR”) performance in excess of rigorous, predetermined absolute and relative hurdles

	Election of Directors
		The Board recommends that you vote FOR all of the director nominees set forth below.

Our By-Laws provide that directors be elected at each annual meeting of our shareholders. The Board has nominated nine director candidates for election to the Board at the Annual Meeting. Each of the nine nominees for director designated below is presently a director of the Company. It is expected that each of these nominees will be able to serve, but if any such nominee is unable to serve, or for good cause will not serve, the proxies reserve discretion to vote for a substitute nominee or nominees designated by the Board, or the Board may elect to reduce its size. The terms of all of our directors expire at the next annual meeting of our shareholders or when their successors are elected and qualified.

Director Resignation Policy

Our By-Laws provide that in uncontested elections, nominees will be elected if votes cast for each nominee’s election exceed the votes cast against such nominee’s election, provided that a quorum is present. Pursuant to our director resignation policy, the Board will nominate for re-election as directors only candidates who agree to tender their irrevocable resignation at or prior to their nomination. In addition, the Board will fill director vacancies and new directorships only with candidates who agree to tender, promptly following their appointment to the Board, the same form of resignation tendered by other directors in accordance with the director resignation policy. The resignations will only become effective upon the occurrence of both the failure to receive the required majority vote for election and Board acceptance of the resignations. If a director nominee does not receive the required vote, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee or another committee consisting solely of independent directors (excluding the director nominee in question) will consider and make a recommendation to the Board as to whether to accept or reject the director nominee’s previously tendered resignation. The Board (excluding the director nominee in question) will make a final determination as to whether to accept or reject the director nominee’s resignation within 90 days following the certification of the shareholder vote. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board may consider any factors they deem relevant in deciding whether to accept a director’s resignation. The Company will then promptly disclose the Board’s decision in a document furnished or filed with the SEC.

Board Diversity and Refreshment

The Board seeks a mix of backgrounds and experience among its members. We believe that decision-making is improved when various perspectives contribute to the discussion. In evaluating director candidates, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee uses its judgment to identify nominees whose viewpoints, backgrounds, experience, gender, race, ethnicity and other attributes, taken as a whole, contribute to the high standards of Board service at the Company. While the Board does not follow any ratio or formula to determine the appropriate mix, the Board is committed to increasing gender and racial diversity among directors over time and, as reflected in our Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is committed to including highly qualified women and minority candidates in each search the Board undertakes. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee assesses its performance as to all aspects of the selection and nomination process for directors, including diversity, as part of its annual self-evaluation process.

Currently of the nine directors on the Board, two are women, one is Asian and one is Latino. In July 2023, Bridget Ryan-Berman, who had been a member of the Company's Board of directors since January 1, 2009, was appointed Lead Independent Director, a position previously held by Board member David B. Henry. At the May 13, 2022 Board meeting, Susan E. Skerritt was appointed to serve as Audit Committee Chair and Luis A. Ubiñas was appointed to serve as Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Chair. These appointments reflect our thoughtful approach and commitment to ongoing Board and committee refreshment and diversification. These changes have further increased the diversity of our Board and committee leadership in terms of gender, ethnicity and career experience.

Nominee Qualifications

The biographical description below for each nominee includes the specific experience, qualifications, attributes and skills that led to the conclusion by the Board that such person should serve as a director of the Company. Each of our director nominees has achieved an extremely high level of success in his or her career. In these positions, each has been directly involved in the challenges relating to setting the strategic direction of or managing and overseeing the financial performance, personnel and processes of complex, public and private companies. Each has had exposure to effective leaders, and as a result, we believe has developed the ability to judge leadership qualities. Each also has experience in serving as an executive or on the board of directors of at least one other major corporation, which we believe provides additional relevant experience on which each nominee can draw.

Accordingly, abstentions, broker non-votes and Common Shares present at the meeting for any other purpose but which are not voted on this proposal will not affect the outcome of the vote on the nominees. The nine nominees who were approved by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee for inclusion on the proxy card are standing for re-election.

Director Independence

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines and the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) require that a majority of our directors be “independent” and that every member of the Board’s Audit Committee, Compensation and Human Capital Committee, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee be “independent,” in each case as such term is defined by the NYSE listing requirements. Generally, independent directors are those directors who are not concurrently serving as officers of the Company and who have no material relationship with us. We presently have nine directors, including seven independent directors. Our Board has affirmatively determined that the following seven current directors are “independent,” as that term is defined under the listing standards of the NYSE: Jeffrey B. Citrin, David B. Henry, Sandeep L. Mathrani, Thomas J. Reddin, Bridget M. Ryan-Berman, Susan E. Skerritt and Luis A. Ubiñas. Steven B. Tanger is serving as our Non-Executive Chair of the Board as of January 1, 2024, and Stephen J. Yalof is our President and CEO, and therefore, are not independent.

In determining the independence of our directors, the Board considered that Ms. Ryan-Berman is a director of Newell Brands Inc., the owner of a portfolio of brands, including one of our tenants and that Mr. Mathrani is a director of Dick’s Sporting Goods, Inc., one of our tenants. The Board considered the nature of this relationship and the dollar value of the annual rental payments received from the respective tenant and determined that the relationship does not impair Ms. Ryan-Berman’s or Mr. Mathrani’s independence.

Board Leadership Structure

Pursuant to our By-Laws and our Corporate Governance Guidelines, our Board determines the appropriate board leadership structure for our Company from time to time. We recognize that different board leadership structures may be appropriate for companies in different situations and so as part of our annual Board self-evaluation process, we evaluate our leadership structure to ensure that the Board continues to believe that it provides the optimal structure for our Company and shareholders.

We presently operate with a non-executive Chair, a Chief Executive Officer and a Lead Independent Director. Mr. Tanger became our non-executive Chair on January 1, 2024, after having served as our Executive Chair since January 1, 2021 and prior to that as a director since May 1993. Mr. Yalof, our President and CEO, was appointed to the Board effective July 20, 2020 and became CEO on January 1, 2021. Ms. Bridget M. Ryan-Berman was appointed Lead Independent Director effective July 1, 2023.

•Affords consistent and stable leadership in the board room, with Mr. Tanger facilitating board room discussion and presiding over Board meetings.

•Establishes clear leadership roles, with our Chair assuming principal responsibility for the functioning of our Board while our CEO assumes principal responsibility for the day to day operations of the Company.

•Creates an environment in which our President and CEO, Mr. Yalof, can effectively lead and engage our employees and work productively to create and execute the Company’s strategic vision.

•Ensures effective communication between the independent directors, the Chief Executive Officer and the non-executive Chair.

The Role of the Lead Independent Director
Bridget Ryan-Berman Lead Independent Director	Ms. Ryan-Berman has substantial experience with corporate governance and public company management, as well as deep knowledge of the Company and its governance practices. The Board believes Ms. Ryan-Berman’s tenure as a director enables her to provide a valuable perspective on Tanger’s business and risk framework and enhances her ability to challenge members of senior management. As our Lead Independent Director, Ms. Ryan-Berman has significant authority and responsibilities to provide for an effective and independent Board. In this role, she has the following responsibilities:

•The full Board is ultimately responsible for overseeing the Company’s risk management processes, and our committees assist the Board in fulfilling this responsibility. Our Board is involved in risk oversight through direct decision-making authority with respect to fundamental financial and business strategies and major corporate activities. In addition, our Board regularly receives reports by each committee chair after each meeting regarding the applicable committee’s considerations and actions with respect to certain risks. Finally, the Board, when appropriate, receives reports directly from officers and senior management responsible for oversight of particular risks within the Company.

   

AUDIT COMMITTEE

•The Audit Committee is responsible for primary risk oversight related to our financial reporting, accounting and internal controls. 

•The Audit Committee receives reports from management at least quarterly regarding the Company’s assessment of risks. These risks relate to a range of issues including strategy, operations, legal/regulatory and cybersecurity, among others.

•The Audit Committee focuses on the most significant risks facing the Company and the Company’s general risk management strategy, and also ensure that risks undertaken by us are consistent with the Board’s levels of risk tolerance.

COMPENSATION AND HUMAN CAPITAL COMMITTEE

Cybersecurity Risk Management Oversight

We recognize the critical importance of developing, implementing, and maintaining robust cybersecurity measures to safeguard our information systems and protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our data. Our executive management team is regularly informed of all aspects related to cybersecurity risks and incidents and we have strategically integrated cybersecurity risk management into our broader risk management framework to promote a Company-wide culture of cybersecurity risk management. We believe that this integration ensures that cybersecurity considerations are an integral part of our decision-making processes at every level. Our technology department continuously identifies, evaluates and manages material risks from cybersecurity threats to our critical computer networks, third-party hosted services, communications systems, hardware and software, and our critical data, including intellectual property, confidential information that is proprietary, strategic or competitive in nature, and tenant data in alignment with our business objectives and operational needs. The Board is focused on the critical nature of managing risks associated with cybersecurity threats. The Board has delegated to its Audit Committee oversight of management's processes for identifying and mitigating risks, including cybersecurity-related risks, to help align our risk exposure with our strategic objectives. The Audit Committee engages in regular discussions with management regarding the Company’s significant financial risk exposures and the measures implemented to monitor and control these risks, including those that may result from material cybersecurity threats. These discussions include the Company’s risk assessment and risk management policies.

Assessing, identifying and managing cybersecurity related risks are integrated into our overall ERM process. Cybersecurity related risks are included in the population that the ERM function evaluates to assess the top risks to the enterprise on a quarterly basis. To the extent the ERM process identifies a heightened cybersecurity related risk, management develops risk mitigation plans to minimize the risk. The ERM annual risk assessment is presented to the Audit Committee. For a further description of the cybersecurity risk management policies and practices of the Board and management, see Item 1C of the Form 10-K included in the Company’s Annual Report.

Attendance at Board and Committee Meetings

The Board held five meetings during 2023. Each of the incumbent directors in office during 2023 attended 100% of the Board meetings and meetings of committees on which the director served, during the period in which such person served as a director. We do not have a formal policy of attendance for directors at our annual meeting of shareholders. All of our incumbent directors who were serving at the time of the 2023 annual meeting of shareholders attended the meeting.

Pursuant to our Corporate Governance Guidelines, non-management directors are required to meet in executive sessions following each regularly scheduled quarterly Board meeting. The Lead Independent Director of the Board presides at all executive sessions at which he or she is in attendance. In addition, to the extent applicable, non-management directors who are not independent under the rules of the NYSE may participate in these executive sessions, but our independent directors meet in executive session at least once per year.

Anti-Hedging Policy

The Company has established an anti-hedging policy that prohibits our executive officers, directors and employees, their family members and any entities they control, from purchasing financial instruments, such as prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, and exchange funds, or otherwise engaging in transactions that hedge or offset, or are designed to hedge or offset, any decrease in the market value of the Company’s equity securities, whether such securities were granted as compensation or are otherwise held, directly or indirectly. These transactions allow the shareholder to continue to own the covered securities, but without the full risks and rewards of ownership. When that occurs, the owner may no longer have the same objectives as the company’s other shareholders. Therefore, executive officers, directors and employees may not engage in any such transactions with respect to the Common Shares they own.

Committees of the Board

The Board has three standing committees to facilitate and assist the Board in the execution of its responsibilities. The current committees are the Audit Committee, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee, and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. In accordance with NYSE listing standards, all of the committees are comprised solely of independent directors. Charters for each of the Audit, Compensation and Human Capital, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees are available on the Company’s website at www.tanger.com by first clicking on “INVESTOR RELATIONS,” then ”GOVERNANCE” and then “GOVERNANCE DOCUMENTS.”

In identifying qualified director candidates for election to the Board and to fill vacancies on the Board, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee solicits current directors for the names of potentially qualified candidates, may ask directors to pursue their own business contacts for the names of potentially qualified candidates and may engage a third party search firm to identify names of potentially qualified candidates.

The Board values directors who will bring a sufficient range of different perspectives to bear, generate appropriate discussion and debate, and fulfill their oversight responsibilities to foster significant value creation for our shareholders. The Board considers director candidates based on a number of factors including: whether the Board member will be “independent” in accordance with NYSE listing requirements; personal integrity and other qualities and characteristics, accomplishments and reputation in the business community; experience with businesses and other organizations of comparable size and current knowledge and contacts in the Company’s industry or other industries relevant to the Company’s business; experience and understanding of the Company’s business and financial matters affecting its business; ability and willingness to commit adequate time to Board and committee matters; the fit of the individual’s skills and personality with those of other directors and potential directors in building a Board that is effective and responsive to the needs of the Company; and diversity of viewpoints, background, experience, gender, race, ethnicity and other attributes. It is the policy of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to consider nominees for the Board recommended by the Company’s shareholders in accordance with the procedures described under “Other Matters- Shareholder Proposals and Nominations for the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders-Shareholder Suggestions for Director Nominations” in this Proxy Statement. Shareholder nominees who are recommended in accordance with these procedures will be given the same consideration as nominees for director from other sources.

Communications with Directors

Any shareholder or interested party is welcome to communicate with our Lead Independent Director, any other director, the non-employee directors as a group or the Board as a whole by writing to the relevant director(s) as follows: Tanger Inc., c/o the Corporate Secretary, 3200 Northline Avenue, Suite 360, Greensboro, NC 27408. All communications, except for marketing and advertising materials, are forwarded directly to our directors.

Compensation of Directors

The annual compensation to the non-employee directors for 2023 was set and approved by the Board based on the recommendations of our independent compensation consultants engaged by the Compensation and Human Capital Committee, and did not change from the compensation paid to non-employee directors in 2022. Compensation paid to our non-employee directors for services in 2023 is described below.

Annual Non-Employee Director Compensation

Director Retainers

n	$60,000 Annual Cash Retainer
n	$165,000 Annual Equity Retainer

Lead Independent Director and Committee Chair Additional Retainers

Our current President and CEO, Mr. Yalof, who is also a director, is not paid any director fees for his services as director of the Company. Mr. Tanger, who served as our Executive Chair of the Board in 2023 similarly did not receive any director fees for his services as a director of the Company in 2023. As of January 1, 2024, Mr. Tanger transitioned to Non-Executive Chair of the Board. In this role, he will be compensated in accordance with the Company’s director compensation policy outlined below, with an additional cash retainer of $70,000 for his role as Non-Executive Chair. Mr. Tanger will not earn any additional compensation beyond the aforementioned retainer amounts. Our non-employee directors’ annual cash retainer will increase to $70,000 in 2024 and the annual equity retainer will increase to $175,000 in 2024. The Lead Independent Director cash retainer will increase to $70,000 in 2024. Our non-employee directors are reimbursed for their expenses incurred in attending Board meetings

Equity Compensation

We may from time to time grant to any non-employee director options, restricted or deferred shares or other awards upon approval of the entire Board. The Board selects the non-employee directors to whom equity-based awards under the Incentive Award Plan will be granted and establishes the terms and conditions of the awards based on recommendations and advice from the Compensation and Human Capital Committee. However, as set forth in the Incentive Award Plan, a non-employee director may not receive awards under the Incentive Award Plan with an aggregate value in excess of $500,000 during any fiscal year. The Board approved awards of restricted Common Shares to each non-employee director with a grant date fair value of approximately $165,000 for 2023. The non-employee directors' restricted common shares generally vest ratably over periods ranging from one to three year periods.

34 Tanger Inc. | 2024 Proxy Statement

Proposal 1 Election of Directors

In addition, the Director Deferred Share Program of Tanger Inc. and Tanger Properties Limited Partnership (the “Director Deferred Share Program”) allows non-employee directors to elect to receive all or a portion of their cash and/or equity compensation in deferred shares. In the event a non-employee director elects to defer compensation, such compensation (along with any dividends earned with respect to such compensation) will be credited to a bookkeeping account and paid in Common Shares within 60 days following the payment date elected by such director. Such payment date will be one of the following dates: (1) the date of termination of directorship, (2) a specified annual anniversary of the date of termination of directorship, (3) a specified date that is after December 31 of the applicable service year, or (4) the earlier of the date of death or disability. Any deferred shares shall be subject to the same vesting conditions applicable to restricted Common Shares that would have been granted absent a deferral election. In 2023, two non-employee directors participated in the Director Deferred Share Program, as described in the footnotes to the Director Compensation Table below.

Minimum Equity Ownership Guidelines

The Board expects all non-employee directors to own a meaningful equity interest in the Company to more closely align the interests of directors with those of shareholders. Our equity ownership guidelines require non-employee directors to hold Common Shares with a value equal to five times the base annual board retainer within five years of joining the Board. All non-employee directors who have been board members for at least 5 years met the share ownership guidelines as of December 31, 2023.

Director Compensation Table

The following table shows the total compensation for our non-employee directors for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023:

Executive Compensation

Executive Summary

We are one of the leading owners and operators of outlet and open-air centers in the United States and Canada. We are a fully-integrated, self-administered and self-managed REIT, which focuses on developing, acquiring, owning, operating and managing outlet and open-air shopping centers. We have a primary objective to maximize TSR through growth in FFO and asset value appreciation. Our Company was built on a firm foundation of strong and enduring business relationships coupled with disciplined business practices. We partner with many of the world's best known and most respected brands and retailers. By fostering and maintaining strong relationships with these successful, high volume companies, we believe we have been able to solidify our position as a leader in the outlet and open-air retail industry for over thirty years. The confidence and trust that we have developed with our retail partners from the very beginning has allowed us to forge the impressive retail alliances that we enjoy today with our brands and retailers. Our seasoned team of professionals with diverse sets of expertise utilize the knowledge and experience that we have gained to give us a competitive advantage in the outlet and open-air retail business.

The Compensation and Human Capital Committee strongly believes that our executive compensation program represents a thoughtful, balanced program with a pay-for-performance structure that focuses on Company performance and reflects the feedback of our shareholders. Our executive compensation program is designed to motivate, attract and retain highly-qualified executives with this unique and proven skill set and to align the CEO and other NEOs’ interests with those of our shareholders. In years that our shareholder value has increased, aggregate compensation for our CEO and other NEOs has generally increased. Conversely, in years that our Common Shares have underperformed, aggregate compensation for our CEO and other NEOs has generally declined. We believe that such alignment is strongly evidenced by the 2023 compensation and the current outstanding equity awards held by our NEOs.

Shareholder Engagement and Listening to Our Shareholders

We have historically taken into consideration the results of our advisory votes on the Company’s executive compensation program and NEO compensation decisions, and since 2014, we have proactively engaged in ongoing shareholder outreach in order to hear feedback about our executive compensation program directly from shareholders. We annually conduct outreach efforts, now led by Ms. Bridget M. Ryan-Berman, our Lead Independent Director, to understand and address any potential shareholder concerns.

In addition to our Shareholder Engagement from our Board, management maintains active dialogue with the financial community and during 2023, we elevated our efforts to engage with the investment community and other key stakeholders through frequent discussions, meetings and property tours.

Our shareholders approved the 2023 advisory executive compensation say on pay vote at a rate of 96.3% of votes cast. We believe that the overwhelming support of our shareholders, as shown in the chart below, indicates that our shareholders are generally supportive of our approach to executive compensation.

Compensation Highlights

Summary of CEO Direct Compensation

The following table highlights the components of compensation that the Compensation and Human Capital Committee deemed most important in considering compensation for our CEO. Thus, for direct comparison purposes, total direct compensation excludes dividends on unvested restricted Common Shares and all “other” compensation (see “All Other Compensation” in the “2023 Summary Compensation Table” on page 58 for items included in “other” compensation).

	Year	Salary			Cash Bonus(1)			Time-Based Equity Awards			Performance-Based Equity Awards			Total Direct Compensation(2)
Stephen J. Yalof, President and CEO	2023		850,000			1,477,318			1,400,016			2,100,011			5,827,345
	2022		850,000			1,420,828			1,200,014			1,800,005			5,270,847
	% Change		—	%		4	%		17	%		17	%		11	%

(1)Mr. Yalof’s target cash bonus compensation is set at 125% of his base salary. Due to the performance the Company achieved in 2023, Mr. Yalof earned a cash bonus payout of 174% of salary.

(2)For direct comparison purposes, excludes dividends paid on unvested Common Shares and “other” amounts.

Pay-for-Performance Alignment

The Compensation and Human Capital Committee believes that an executive compensation program that strongly links both the short-term and long-term performance of the Company and the compensation of our executive officers is a key driver of our long-term financial success. We have designed an effective pay-for-performance program whereby a significant portion of each executive officer’s compensation is tied to performance-based cash and equity awards. Thus, in periods where we have superior performance in our operating results and TSR, our executive officers generally will realize higher levels of compensation. Likewise, in periods of poor performance, our executive officers generally will realize significantly lower levels of compensation.

Realized Pay

Annual compensation data shown in the Summary Compensation Table on page 58 is presented in accordance with the SEC’s requirements. This mandated format is based on accounting rules that reflect the grant date fair value of the award at the time of grant, which can differ significantly from the value that is ultimately earned from these awards. Therefore, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee believes that utilizing realized compensation in its evaluation of CEO pay is an appropriate additional consideration to accurately measure the alignment of CEO pay-for-performance.

Executive Compensation

TSR-Based Performance Award Status

Our CEO and other NEOs participate in multi-year award programs that are based exclusively on the Company’s three-year absolute and relative TSR to directly align our executives’ compensation to shareholder returns. The chart below depicts each current Performance Share Plan (“PSP”) on a program-by-program basis and the amounts realized or projected to be earned based on the Company’s TSR performance as of December 31, 2023. Note, however, that the actual awards earned in respect of the 2021 PSP were determined at the end of the performance period, in February 2024, to be achieved at the maximum for both the absolute and relative portions of the award. The performance period for the 2020 PSP ended in February 2023. The absolute and relative portions of the 2020 award had a maximum payout.

PSP Performance Period and Metrics	Weight	2021	2022	2023	2024	2025	2026	Payout %

Significant At-Risk Compensation

A substantial portion of our CEO’s and other NEOs’ pay is tied to company performance and is at risk. Approximately 40% of our CEO’s performance year 2023 compensation was paid in cash, and approximately 85% was variable, subject to the Company’s performance. Across our remaining NEOs, the average 2023 performance year amount paid in cash was approximately 49% and approximately 80% was variable, subject to the Company’s performance.

2023 Business Recap

2023 was a transformative year for us, as we continued to grow our portfolio, leverage our platform capabilities to grow value for our stakeholders, and enhance the shopping experience for our customers by implementing placemaking strategies and elevating our retail offerings. Our 2023 financial results reflect our ability to:

•deliver organic growth driven by strategic leasing and proactive asset management,

•maximize traffic and shopper engagement through measurable and relevant digital communications and compelling offers in collaboration with our tenants,

•further intensify our real estate over time including outparcel activation and unlock additional revenue opportunities, and

•selectively pursue the acquisition and development of additional open-air centers.

During 2023, we continued to demonstrate our ability to create value for our shareholders,through dividends totaling $0.97, which was a 21% increase over the total dividends paid in 2022, and share price appreciation that combined to result in TSR that significantly outpaced the retail real estate investment trust (“REIT”), total REIT and S&P 500 indices. In 2023 we added three new centers to our portfolio. Our ground up development, Tanger Outlets Nashville, which features a transformational design and dynamic retail mix, and two property acquisitions – Asheville Outlets, in Asheville, NC and Bridge Street Town Centre in Huntsville, AL, the first lifestyle center in our portfolio. All three new center additions are consistent with our long-term strategy of investing in dominant open-air retail centers in markets that benefit from outsized residential and tourism growth and that we believe can immediately benefit from the Tanger leasing, marketing and operations platforms.

Compensation Review Process

Compensation Program Objectives

The objectives of the Company’s compensation program are as follows:

Motivate, attract and retain highly qualified executive management employees who are enthusiastic about the Company’s mission, performance, and culture. Create a fair, reasonable and balanced compensation program that rewards management’s performance and contribution to the Company while closely aligning the interests of management with those of shareholders. Provide total compensation to executive officers that is competitive with total compensation paid by other REITs, and other private real estate firms similar to the Company.

Compensation Program Rewards

The Company’s compensation program rewards teamwork and individual officer contributions to the Company’s annual and longer-term goals. Annual cash performance-based incentives reward executive officers based on Company financial performance. While the individual amounts of incentive compensation paid may vary among officers, the performance targets that are set are generally the same for all officers. This creates an environment where all officers work together to achieve a common goal. See “2023 Compensation - Annual Cash Incentives: Description and Analysis” on page 46 for further discussion of performance targets used to set 2023 compensation. Additionally, equity-based awards are designed to provide long-term incentives that reward price appreciation of our Common Shares over a multi-year period.

We also believe that the Company’s executive compensation program does not encourage excessive risk taking. The Compensation and Human Capital Committee has incorporated the following risk-oversight and compensation-design features to guard against excessive risk taking:

•Review and approval of corporate objectives by the Compensation and Human Capital Committee to ensure that these goals are aligned with the Company’s annual operating and strategic plans, achieve the desired risk/reward balance, and do not encourage excessive risk taking;

•Base salaries consistent with each executive’s responsibilities so that the executive is not motivated to take excessive risks to achieve a reasonable level of financial security;

•A significant portion of each executive’s compensation is tied to the future share performance of the Company;

•Equity compensation and vesting periods for equity awards that encourage executives to focus on sustained share price appreciation;

•Robust share ownership guidelines, clawback policy, anti-hedging policy and anti-pledging policy; and

•A mix of cash and equity compensation that is designed to encourage strategies and actions that are in the long-term best interests of the Company.

Tanger Inc. | 2024 Proxy Statement 41

Executive Compensation

Role of the Compensation and Human Capital Committee

The purposes and responsibilities of the Compensation and Human Capital Committee include the following:

•Review and approve corporate goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of the CEO, evaluate the CEO’s performance and determine and approve the CEO’s compensation level based on this evaluation;

•Make recommendations to the Board with respect to the compensation of non-employee directors and executive officers other than the CEO;

•Periodically review the Company’s incentive-compensation and equity-based plans and approve any new or materially amended equity-based plans; and

•Oversee, with management, regulatory compliance with respect to compensation matters.

The Compensation and Human Capital Committee may, in its discretion, delegate all or a portion of its duties and responsibilities to a subcommittee. In particular, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee may delegate the approval of certain equity awards to a subcommittee consisting solely of members of the Compensation and Human Capital Committee who are “non-employee directors” for the purposes of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act.

Role of the Compensation Consultant and Use of Market Data

In setting compensation for fiscal 2023 performance, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee engaged FPC, an independent compensation consultant, to assist in determining the appropriate amounts, types and mix of executive compensation. The Compensation and Human Capital Committee, with the help of its independent compensation consultant:

•reviews the compensation practices of other REITs in order to evaluate market trends and compare our compensation program with the compensation programs of our competitors;

•develops, based in part on this data, a compensation plan that is intended to maintain and strengthen the link between corporate performance and shareholder returns while being generally competitive within our industry; and

•evaluates benchmark data of compensation paid by peer group companies, not to target a specific percentile of compensation, but rather as a frame of reference to establish NEO compensation opportunities.

Based on the Company’s and the individual’s overall performance relative to the peer group and the unique circumstances associated with any individual officer, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee, in consultation with FPC, determined the appropriate level of annual compensation opportunities.

During 2023, FPC analyzed data prepared by management regarding the Company’s total compensation obligations to the NEOs, including realized compensation from the prior year and targeted cash compensation for the current year. FPC also analyzed the mix of fixed versus variable, short-term versus long-term and cash versus equity-based compensation and total compensation of officers with similar duties and responsibilities, as well as similar rank within the NEO group, at the peer group companies.

For fiscal 2023, FPC recommended the level of base and incentive cash bonus compensation to be set for each NEO as well as the amount of equity awards to be granted to each NEO (or, if applicable, concluded that the recommendations of the CEO with respect to such other officer’s compensation were reasonable and within peer group standards), based on its review of peer data, industry trends, existing employment agreements and current compensation levels, and other factors. The Compensation and Human Capital Committee considered FPC’s recommendations and analysis when determining base salaries and annual and long-term incentives.

The Compensation and Human Capital Committee considers a variety of factors when constructing an appropriate peer set. As we are the only public focused predominantly outlet REIT, which requires certain unique skill sets, background, and relationships, we elected to expand into the broader retail REIT industry for selecting appropriate peers. In the graphic below we have identified several key factors the Compensation and Human Capital Committee considers when choosing an appropriate peer group, such as who the Company competes with for talent, tenants, and investors. FPC makes recommendations regarding composition of our peer group.

42 Tanger Inc. | 2024 Proxy Statement

Executive Compensation

Corporate Structure and Primary Industry Focus	There are currently no publicly traded REITs with a primary focus on the Outlet industry, so we look at public retail-focused REITs.
Public Retail-Focused REITs	Regional Malls, Shopping Centers, and other Retail Focused Properties
Against whom does the Company compete for executive talent?	While we generally compete for human capital within the real estate industry, we sometimes obtain talent from companies in other industries, such as technology.
Against whom does the Company compete for tenants and investors?	Our outlet centers have begun adding a new variety of tenants, and the Company has acquired its first open-air lifestyle center, thus competing more directly with the shopping center REITs
Company Size (as defined by market and total capitalization, and number of employees)	The Companies we selected are of similar size and scope. The Compensation and Human Capital Committee contemplated additional companies that invest in similar markets to us, such as Simon Property Group (“Simon”), however, it ultimately determined that in light of its substantially larger size, they would not be appropriate at this time, despite the fact that our current President and CEO, Mr. Yalof, previously ran Simon’s outlet center business.

The Compensation and Human Capital Committee will continue to assess the composition of the peer group to determine the appropriateness of each peer company.

The following table provides the names and certain key information for each peer company at the time the Compensation and Human Capital Committee reviewed the peer group market data, as sorted by implied equity market capitalization.

Determination of Compensation Consultant’s Objectivity

The Compensation and Human Capital Committee recognizes that it is essential to receive objective advice from its outside independent compensation consultant. As a result, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee does not allow the Company to engage FPC in matters unrelated to executive compensation.

Role of Management and the Chief Executive Officer in Setting Executive Compensation

On an annual basis, management considers market competitiveness, business results, experience and individual performance in evaluating executive compensation. The CEO is actively engaged in setting compensation for executives (other than himself) through a variety of means, including recommending for Compensation and Human Capital Committee approval the financial performance goals for the executive team. He works closely with the CFO and General Counsel in analyzing relevant market data to determine recommendations for base salary, annual bonus targets and equity compensation awards for other members of senior management. Targets are set in order to drive both annual performance and long-term value creation for shareholders. The Compensation and Human Capital Committee determines the compensation and performance goals of the executive team after receiving the recommendations from the CEO. The Compensation and Human Capital Committee will consider, but is not bound by and does not always accept, the recommendations of the CEO with respect to executive compensation. For 2023, all NEOs were generally subject to the same financial performance goals as the other officers, all of which are approved by the Compensation and Human Capital Committee.

Executive Compensation

2023 Compensation

We believe that the following discussion is a useful presentation of the Compensation and Human Capital Committee’s decisions with regard to 2023 NEO compensation. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Summary Compensation Table presented on page 58 where, in accordance with SEC rules, we present these grants as compensation for the year in which they were granted as opposed to the year for which they were earned.

The Compensation and Human Capital Committee received information from FPC, its compensation consultant, and management for consideration in determining the specific amounts of compensation to be provided to the executive officers for fiscal 2023 performance. Among the factors considered for our executive compensation generally, and for the NEO compensation in particular, are market competitiveness, company performance results, internal equity, past practice, experience and individual performance. There is no particular weight given to any factor, which may differ among individual NEOs, and instead factors are reviewed on a holistic basis.

Business results from the most recently completed fiscal year factor heavily in setting executive compensation. These results are reviewed and discussed by the Compensation and Human Capital Committee and FPC. Payouts are generally based on actual financial results, measured against the targets approved by the Compensation and Human Capital Committee under our incentive compensation plans for the fiscal year just ended. In addition, these results are a consideration in setting performance targets for the next fiscal year. Based on the financial results presented by management, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee reviews the individual performance of the NEOs (other than the CEO) as reported by the CEO and approves their compensation for the current fiscal year.

In evaluating the performance of the CEO and setting his compensation, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee takes into account corporate financial performance, as well as performance on a range of non-financial factors, including accomplishment of strategic goals, workforce development and succession planning, and the CEO’s working relationship with the Board. See “2023 Business Recap” on page 40 for a summary of our operational achievements in 2023.

The Company’s primary components of compensation for its executive officers are base salary, annual incentive cash bonuses, annual long-term equity-based incentive compensation in the form of time-based awards and performance share awards. There is no pre-established policy or target for the allocation between cash and non-cash incentive compensation or between short-term and long-term compensation, although the Company attempts to keep total cash compensation within the Company’s fiscal year budget while reinforcing its pay-for-performance philosophy and also taking into account annual accounting cost and the impact of share dilution. Within the framework of aligning total compensation with corporate and individual performance, the purpose of each of the components is as follows:

		PAY ELEMENT	OBJECTIVES
	Fixed Component	Base Salary	To provide competitive fixed pay at a level consistent with the individual’s job responsibilities relative to his or her peers
	Performance-Based Component
		Annual Incentive Cash Bonus	To incentivize management to achieve the Company’s strategic and financial goals for the fiscal year, generally using a formulaic calculation
		Annual Long-Term Equity Incentive	To reward prior year performance and support the retention of senior management, while exposing recipients to the same market fluctuations as shareholders and thereby motivating management to create long-term shareholder value
		Performance Share Plan	To enhance the pay-for-performance structure and shareholder alignment, while motivating and rewarding senior management for TSR performance in excess of rigorous, predetermined absolute and relative hurdles

Executive Compensation

Base Salary: Description and Analysis

Although the Compensation and Human Capital Committee does not benchmark salaries to any specific percentile of base salaries paid to comparable officers in the peer group, the NEOs are paid base salaries within the range of those paid to comparable officers in the peer group and sufficient to attract high-quality executive talent and maintain a stable management team.

Base salaries received for 2023 and 2022 were as follows:

Named Executive Officer	2023 Base Salaries			2022 Base Salaries
Steven B. Tanger, Executive Chair(1)		$	425,000		$637,500
Stephen J. Yalof, President and CEO(1)		850,000			850,000
Michael J. Bilerman, CFO (2)		500,000			500,000
Leslie A. Swanson, COO		400,000			375,000
Andrew R. Wingrove, former CCO		330,000			n/a

(1)On January 1, 2021, Mr. Tanger transitioned to Executive Chair of the Company’s Board, through January 1, 2024, and Stephen J. Yalof assumed the role of Chief Executive Officer of the Company. On January 1, 2024 Mr. Tanger transitioned to non-executive Chair of the Board.

(2)Represents Mr. Bilerman’s annual base salary on a go-forward basis. His pro-rata salary for 2022 based on his employment commencement date of November 29, 2022 was $41,667.

Each of Messrs. Tanger and Yalof have an employment agreement with the Company that includes a provision whereby the executive’s base salary shall not be less than certain agreed upon amounts. See “Employment Contracts” on page 63.

Annual Cash Incentives: Description and Analysis

Incentive Cash Bonus Plan for Executive Officers

During 2023, each of our named executive officers was eligible to receive an annual incentive cash bonus payment based upon achieving certain performance criteria during the year (the “Incentive Cash Bonus Plan”). For 2023, the Incentive Cash Bonus Plan was designed to reward the achievement of both financial and strategic performance criteria as approved and set by the Compensation and Human Capital Committee.

Each year, we define annual incentive cash bonus threshold, target, and maximum payout opportunities for our NEOs. For 2023, these opportunities were defined as a percentage of base salary, as shown in the table below. For dollar amounts potentially payable under these annual incentive cash bonus opportunities, see the "2023 Grants of Plan-Based Awards" table on page 59. The 2023 threshold, target, and maximum opportunities for our continuing NEOs as a percentage of base salary were unchanged from 2022.

The threshold, target and maximum amounts for our NEOs in 2023 were as follows (as a percentage of base salary):

Named Executive Officer	Threshold		Target		Maximum
Steven B. Tanger, Executive Chair	75	%	100	%	150	%
Stephen J. Yalof, President and CEO	93.8	%	125	%	187.5	%
Michael J. Bilerman, CFO	75	%	100	%	150	%
Leslie A. Swanson, COO	75	%	100	%	150	%

Executive Compensation

Performance Objectives & Achievements. The original Incentive Cash Bonus Plan established in February of 2023 included the following financial and strategic performance criteria:

Performance Criteria	Weighting	Rationale For Including In Plan
Financial Performance Targets:
•Core FFO per share		Encourages focus on profitability as measured by the most frequently assessed REIT earnings measure.
•Percentage change in Same Center NOI		Encourages focus on internal growth at existing portfolio.
•Operating Margin Growth		Encourages focus on operating efficiencies through increased revenues and reduction in operating and general and administrative expenses.
•Strategic Performance in Growth Initiatives, Sustainability and Customer Loyalty		Encourages execution of Company’s strategic business plan.

The performance levels under these metrics were established in first quarter of 2023 based on the original 2023 budget/operating plan. At the time the specific strategic objectives were set, as in year’s past, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee believed the performance levels would be challenging and difficult, but achievable with significant effort and skill. Changes made to the Incentive Cash Bonus Plan in 2023, included the following: (1) removal of the individual performance metric, (2) removal of consolidated net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio metric, (3) inclusion of Operating Margin Growth as a metric, and (4) a change in weighting as a result of (1)-(3). At the request of the Compensation and Human Capital Committee to assist with setting 2023 performance levels, the Company prepared an analysis of the actual performance levels achieved for the last three years, as well as the average of this three-year period. The average results were compared to the operating and financial performance level budgets approved by the Board for 2023. The Compensation and Human Capital Committee generally sets performance levels for each criterion at or above the current year budget levels. The budget reflects management’s assumptions regarding performance during the year taking into account many factors, both internal and external. The Compensation and Human Capital Committee may approve performance levels for the current year below the prior year performance levels when considering the current year’s budget or other factors including factors outside management’s control.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE AND STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES

The 2023 performance levels for Core FFO and Same Center NOI were both set at amounts higher than the previous year’s performance levels. At the time the performance criteria were set, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee believed the performance levels would be challenging and difficult, but achievable with significant effort and skill.

Tanger Inc. | 2024 Proxy Statement 47

Executive Compensation

The corporate performance criteria and the performance levels required under the Incentive Cash Bonus Plan for 2023 approved by the Compensation and Human Capital Committee, as compared to our level of achievement, were as follows:

NEOs

	2023 Performance Levels			Actual Results	Weighting(1)	Achievement Levels
Performance Criteria	Threshold	Target	Maximum
Core FFO per share	$1.87	$1.90	$1.96	$1.96		Maximum
Percentage Change in Same Center NOI	3.5%	4.7%	6.7%	6.2%		Between Target and Maximum
Operating Margin Growth	50bps	80bps	140bps	120bps		Between Target and Maximum
Strategic Performance in Growth Initiatives, Sustainability and Customer Loyalty	1 of 3 objectives	2 of 3 objectives	3 of 3 objectives	2.7 of 3 objectives		Between Target and Maximum

In 2023 the Company fell between the target and maximum financial performance level for its Same Center NOI and Operating Margin, while achieving maximum performance for the Core FFO goal. The Compensation and Human Capital Committee determined that the strategic performance element was achieved at the 90% level due to management’s accomplishments including a) successfully executing the company’s external growth strategy by growing the company’s footprint on an accretive basis through 2 new center acquisitions, b) making meaningful progress toward the Company’s 2050 Carbon Neutral goal by reducing its emissions footprint by at least 3% and building on other sustainability initiatives through the expansion of its solar platform, growth of its EV charging network and improvements in its waste diversion rate, and c) launching a customary loyalty program and building a meaningful subscriber base thereto.

The Compensation and Human Capital Committee, in its discretion, may adjust the predetermined Core FFO targets to exclude significant charges which they believe are not indicative of the Company’s ongoing operating performance. See “Actual 2023 Annual Cash Incentive Awards” below, for the amount of annual incentive cash bonuses received by each NEO pursuant to the above results. Further, for a reconciliation of Core FFO, Same Center NOI, Net Debt and Adjusted EBITDA to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, please see Appendix A to this Proxy Statement.

The Compensation and Human Capital Committee believes that these strategic and financial goals are key drivers in ultimately increasing the equity value of the Company and that these goals ultimately help align the interests of our NEOs and our shareholders. If minimum performance criteria targets are not met, no bonuses are generally paid. If maximum targets are met or exceeded, bonuses may be significant but are capped as set forth in the table above. If results are between Threshold, Target and Maximum levels, the bonuses are paid out based on linear interpolation between these points.

Executive Compensation

Actual 2023 Annual Cash Incentive Awards

All annual incentive cash bonuses to NEOs for 2023 were paid in accordance with the terms described above. The actual cash incentives paid for 2023 were:

Named Executive Officer	Amount Earned	% of Target Earned
Steven B. Tanger, Executive Chair	$590,927	139.0	%
Stephen J. Yalof, President and CEO	1,477,318	139.0	%
Michael J. Bilerman, CFO	695,208	139.0	%
Leslie A. Swanson, COO	556,167	139.0	%
Andrew R. Wingrove, former CCO	458,838	139.0	%

The annual incentive cash bonus for a fiscal year is typically paid in the first quarter of the following year once the results for the year have been finalized. Generally, executives must be employed as of the last day of the year to receive payment under the Incentive Cash Bonus Plan for that year. The amounts of the annual cash incentive bonuses earned by each executive with respect to 2023 are set forth below in the Summary Compensation Table in the column “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation.”

Long-Term Incentives: Description and Analysis

The Company’s long-term incentive compensation consists of equity-based awards under its Incentive Award Plan, either in the form of time-based restricted Common Shares or restricted share units, share options or performance-based awards. Equity-based awards deliver increased value only when the value of our Common Shares increases. Long-term incentives are determined by the Compensation and Human Capital Committee based, in part, on peer group compensation practices combined with recommendations of management and the Company’s compensation consultant.

The Compensation and Human Capital Committee generally administers our Incentive Award Plan, which provides for the issuance of equity-based awards to our officers and employees. The Compensation and Human Capital Committee authorizes the awards to employees and establishes the terms and conditions of the awards under the Incentive Award Plan, as it deems appropriate. The chart below illustrates the average allocation between performance-based and time-based awards for awards granted in 2023 for our NEOs. The Compensation and Human Capital Committee made no changes to the allocation of equity awards in 2023 and kept the same allocation as 2022.

(1)Represents the restricted Common Share and restricted share unit awards granted to each NEO in 2023 and 2022. The grant date fair value for restricted Common Share awards granted in 2023 and 2022 is the closing price of the Company’s Common Shares on the day prior to the grant date, which was $17.53 and $16.62, respectively.

(2)Represents the notional units granted to each NEO under the 2023 and 2022 PSPs, multiplied by the grant date fair values of $12.08 and $11.68, respectively. The grant date fair values were based on probable performance outcomes computed in accordance with FASB ASC 718.

(3)Mr. Wingrove was not classified as an NEO during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. As such, his equity compensation for 2022 has been excluded from this table.

Restricted Common Share and Restricted Share Unit Awards

Awarding restricted Common Shares helps to further align the interests of management with those of our shareholders. In setting the amounts and terms of the restricted Common Shares, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee considers the value of previous grants of restricted Common Shares and the total compensation expense recognized in the Company’s financial statements with respect to all previous grants of restricted Common Shares. However, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee does not necessarily limit the number of restricted Common Shares to be granted based on the total value or annual expense recognized in the financial statements because the Compensation and Human Capital Committee generally considers grants of restricted Common Shares to represent both an annual reward for individual and Company performance achieved as well as a longer-term incentive for future performance. Restricted Common Shares are generally granted during the first quarter of the current year once the results from the previous year are finalized. During 2023, our Executive Chair, Mr. Tanger, received all of his annual time-based vesting equity awards as restricted share units.

The awards granted on March 15, 2023 are subject to ratable vesting on the first three anniversaries of the grant date. Such vesting, however, is subject to acceleration in certain termination scenarios, as described further in “Equity Compensation Plan Information - Potential Payments on Termination or Change of Control” on page 68.

50 Tanger Inc. | 2024 Proxy Statement

Executive Compensation

The Compensation and Human Capital Committee believes that restricted Common Share and restricted share unit grants with time-based vesting features provide the desired incentive to increase the Company’s share price and drive value for our shareholders over the vesting period. The Company’s financial performance, whether superior or poor, will impact the value of the restricted Common Shares and restricted share units, resulting in an increase or reduction, respectively, in the executive officer’s total compensation.

The Company measures the grant date fair value under FASB ASC 718 of all restricted Common Share and restricted share unit awards with time-based vesting features based on the provisions of the Incentive Award Plan. Under those provisions, fair value is considered to be the closing price of our Common Shares on the last trading day prior to the grant date.

2023 Performance Share Plan (PSP)

During March 2023, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee approved the general terms of the Tanger Inc. 2023 PSP, which provide for the grant of performance awards under the Incentive Award Plan. For the 2023 PSP, the Committee kept the same general structure as the 2022 PSP.

Our PSP is comprised of two distinct metrics that directly align with investors – relative TSR and absolute TSR. Although each is based on TSR, in using both a relative and absolute measurement, two completely different outcomes may result (i.e., we can potentially achieve a maximum on one of the goals and below threshold on the other, etc.). The majority of the PSP (67%) continues to be focused on relative performance, in which we continue to have rigorous goals and require outperformance to achieve a target level payout, with the remaining portion (33%) of our PSP based on absolute performance.

An emerging practice in long-term incentive plan design that has developed is to use absolute TSR performance as a modifier to an award rather than as a standalone performance metric. Although there are different approaches used, the most common methodology for a modifier is to either cap an award payout at target or reduce the award payout by 25% if absolute TSR is negative. The Compensation and Human Capital Committee believes that our program is significantly more rigorous in that the Company must not just have a positive shareholder return to merit a payout on the absolute TSR portion, but rather, must deliver a 26% cumulative TSR over the performance period. In other words, if our absolute TSR is 25% or less, the maximum payout that may be provided is 67% of the PSP.

Any restricted Common Shares earned under the 2023 PSP (the performance period for which concludes on March 13, 2026) will be issued, subject to performance, following the end of the three-year performance period and will then be subject to a time-based vesting schedule, pursuant to which 50% of the restricted Common Shares would vest at the conclusion of the three-year performance period and the remaining 50% would vest upon the completion of one additional year of service, contingent upon continued employment with the Company through each applicable vesting date; provided, however, that Mr. Tanger’s 2023 PSP will vest, subject to performance through the end of the performance period, even though he will no longer be employed by us on that date. Such vesting, however, is subject to acceleration in certain termination scenarios, as described further in “Equity Compensation Plan Information - Potential Payments on Termination or Change of Control.”

The PSP units, prior to the date they are converted into restricted Common Shares, will not entitle award recipients to receive any dividends or other distributions. If the PSP units are earned, and thereby converted into restricted Common Shares (whether vested or unvested), then award recipients will be entitled to receive a payment of all dividends and other distributions that would have been paid had the number of earned restricted Common Shares been issued at the beginning of the performance period. Thereafter, dividends and other distributions will be paid currently with respect to all restricted Common Shares that were issued, whether vested or unvested.

Changes to CEO Compensation Plans For 2023

As part of our long-term leadership succession strategy (see Board Leadership Structure and Risk Oversight on page 27), Mr. Tanger transitioned to Executive Chair of the Company's Board, effective through January 1, 2024 and Mr. Yalof assumed the role of Chief Executive Officer of the Company in 2021. The changes in compensation of Mr. Tanger and Mr. Yalof are reflected in the chart below:

Steven B. Tanger, Executive Chair

Stephen J. Yalof, CEO

g  Base Salary g  Annual Bonus Target g  Total Equity Compensation

We believe it was beneficial to the Company to retain Mr. Tanger as Executive Chair during this period due to his experience navigating the Company through changing business environments for over thirty years, his extensive knowledge of outlet center operations and management and the industry relationships he has cultivated over the years. As part of the transition to Executive Chair, each of Mr. Tanger's base salary, target bonus and equity compensation was reduced by 33% each year as described in his employment agreement and summarized on page 63. As of January 1, 2024, Mr. Tanger transitioned to Non-Executive Chair of the Board. In this role, he will be compensated in accordance with the Company’s director compensation policy, with an additional cash retainer of $70,000 for his role as Non-Executive Chair. Mr. Tanger will not earn any additional compensation beyond the aforementioned amounts. The table below illustrates the reduction in compensation payable to the Executive Chair through 2023.

Transition Letter Agreement Between Mr. Tanger and the Company

In connection with his transition from Executive Chair to non-Executive Chair, effective January 1, 2024, the Company and Mr. Tanger entered into a letter agreement, dated as of September 28, 2023 (the “Letter Agreement”) to memorialize the terms of Mr. Tanger’s retirement. The Letter Agreement generally provides that the Board will nominate Mr. Tanger for re-election in 2024, and that he will serve, if elected, as Non-Executive Chair through the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. In this capacity, Mr. Tanger will be compensated in accordance with the Company’s director compensation policy, with an additional cash retainer of $70,000 for his role as Non-Executive Chair. In connection with this transition, Mr. Tanger agreed to forego any possible compensation for consulting arrangements as contemplated in his employment agreement. In accordance with the terms of his employment agreement, Mr. Tanger’s time-based equity awards vested fully upon termination and any performance-based awards will remain outstanding and eligible to vest based on actual achievement of the relevant performance measures at the conclusion of the applicable performance period. In addition, Mr. Tanger remains eligible for 18 months of post-termination COBRA continuation coverage, or a payment in lieu of such amount, and certain continued life insurance benefits. Mr. Tanger remains subject to the 12 month post-termination non-competition and non-solicitation covenants included in his employment agreement.

The Company does not provide significant perquisites or personal benefits to executive officers. In addition, also consistent with previous years, the Company maintained an insurance policy to provide a life insurance benefit to Mr. Tanger of $5 million. Premiums paid on the policy during 2023 totaled $67,344. Going forward in 2024, we no longer provide this benefit to Mr. Tanger.

Employment Contracts and Change of Control Arrangements

The Company’s business is competitive, and the Compensation and Human Capital Committee believes that it is extremely desirable for the Company to maintain employment contracts or otherwise provide severance protection for its senior executives in the event of certain terminations. As such, each of the named executive officers has either been party to an employment contract or been a participant in our Executive Severance Plan since its adoption in 2021. The employment contracts and Executive Severance Plan generally provide for severance pay if the executive terminates his or her employment for Good Reason or is terminated by the Company without Cause, as those terms are defined in each agreement or the Executive Severance Plan, as applicable. These severance arrangements are designed to promote stability and continuity of senior management.

Our Compensation and Human Capital Committee believes it is fair to provide severance protection and accelerated vesting of certain equity grants upon a change of control of the Company. Very often, senior executives lose their jobs in connection with a change of control. By agreeing upfront to provide severance benefits and accelerated vesting of certain equity grants in the event of a change of control and the executive’s associated termination, our Compensation and Human Capital Committee believes we can reinforce and encourage the continued attention and dedication of senior executives to their assigned duties without distraction in the face of an actual or threatened change of control and ensure that management is motivated to negotiate the best acquisition consideration for our shareholders.

In 2021, we adopted the Tanger Inc. Executive Severance Plan (the “Executive Severance Plan”) and terminated employment contracts for all executives other than the Executive Chair and CEO. See “Executive Severance Plan” on page 67 for a description of the executive severance plan. See “Employment Contracts” on page 63 for a description of the employment agreements with the Non-Executive Chair and CEO. Mr. Tanger and Mr. Yalof are the only named executive officers with employment contracts as of December 31, 2023.

Governance Policies Relating to Compensation

Minimum Ownership Guidelines

The Board expects all non-employee directors, the Non-Executive Chair, the CEO and other NEOs to own a meaningful equity interest in the Company to more closely align the interests of directors and executive officers with those of shareholders. Accordingly, the Board has established the equity ownership guidelines for non-employee directors, the Non-Executive Chair, the CEO and other NEOs. Non-employee directors are required to hold Common Shares with a value equal to 5x the base annual board retainer of $60,000. Newly elected non-employee directors have five years following their election to the Board to meet the share ownership guidelines. Mr. Tanger’s share ownership guideline, pursuant to his transition to Non-Executive Chair, is 5x the annual board retainer (consistent with the policy for other non-employee directors) and Mr. Yalof’s is 6x base salary, consistent with other peer group companies. The other NEOs are required to hold Common Shares with a value equivalent to 3x base salary.

The executives have five years following their appointment to meet the share ownership guidelines. Vested and unvested restricted Common Shares count toward the equity ownership guidelines, and stock options, whether or not exercisable, do not. All non-employee directors and executives who have been board members or NEOs for at least five years, met the share ownership guidelines as of March 1, 2024.

Clawback Policy

In 2023, we approved the Tanger Inc. Policy for Recovery of Erroneous Awarded Compensation, effective October 24, 2023, to comply with NYSE listing standards implementing Exchange Act Rule 10D-1 (the “Clawback Policy”). The Clawback Policy generally provides that in the event of certain accounting restatements, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee will take prompt action to recover erroneously awarded incentive compensation from executive officers that was “received” (within the meaning of the rules) in the three prior completed fiscal years. The policy provides the Compensation and Human Capital Committee with broad discretion regarding the means of recovery.

Anti-Hedging Policy

The Company has established an anti-hedging policy that prohibits our executive officers, directors and employees, their family members and any entities they control, from purchasing financial instruments, such as prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, and exchange funds, or otherwise engaging in transactions that hedge or offset, or are designed to hedge or offset, any decrease in the market value of the Company’s equity securities, whether such securities were granted as compensation or are otherwise held, directly or indirectly. These transactions allow the shareholder to continue to own the covered securities, but without the full risks and rewards of ownership. When that occurs, the owner may no longer have the same objectives as the company’s other shareholders. Therefore, executive officers, directors and employees may not engage in any such transactions with respect to the Common Shares they own.

Tanger Inc. | 2024 Proxy Statement 55

Executive Compensation

Anti-Pledging Policy

Our named executive officers and directors do not have any shares pledged as collateral. The Company has established an anti-pledging policy applicable to our executive officers, directors and employees. The Board believes that pledging securities of the Company as collateral for margin loans or other transactions raises potential risks to shareholder value, particularly if the pledge is significant. Under this policy, officers, directors and employees of the Company may not margin, or agree or offer to margin, the Company’s securities as collateral for a loan obligation. Similarly, officers, directors and employees of the Company may not pledge, or agree or offer to pledge, the Company’s securities (or a right to receive the Company’s securities) as collateral for a loan or other obligation. These prohibitions do not apply to any broker-assisted cashless exercise of equity awards. In addition, in order to facilitate the transition to the policy, these prohibitions do not apply to a margin or pledge of securities that was in effect prior to adoption of the policy; provided, that no additional Company securities may be added to any such pre-existing pledge on or after adoption of the policy.

An exception to the prohibitions in this policy may be granted by the disinterested members of the Board in their sole discretion where a person covered by this policy wishes to pledge the Company’s securities as collateral for a loan (not including margin debt) and demonstrates to the satisfaction of the disinterested members of the Board the financial capacity to repay the loan without resort to the pledged securities.

No Golden Parachute Gross-Ups

Section 280G and Section 4999 of the Code provide that certain officers and other service providers who receive significant compensation or hold significant equity interests could be subject to significant additional taxes if they receive certain “golden parachute” payments or benefits in connection with a change of control of the Company, and that the Company could lose a deduction on the amounts subject to additional tax. The Company has no policy or commitment to provide any executive or director with any gross-up or other reimbursement for tax amounts that such executive or director might pay pursuant to these laws, and certain named executive officer’s employment contracts provide for a cutback of amounts payable to avoid such additional taxes.

On January 1, 2024, Mr .Tanger transitioned into the role of Non-Executive Chairman and terminated his employment relationship. The terms of such retirement and transition are detailed in the Letter Agreement between Mr. Tanger and the Company, dated as of September 28, 2023, described on page 53 above.

On December 14, 2016, we entered into an amended and restated employment agreement with Mr. Tanger, which was subsequently amended and restated effective April 28, 2020. Pursuant to the employment agreement, Mr. Tanger continued to serve as CEO of the Company and a member of the Board through January 1, 2021. Pursuant to the employment agreement, Mr. Tanger transitioned to the role of Executive Chairman on January 1, 2021 following the appointment of Mr. Yalof as CEO of the Company and continued to serve as Executive Chairman through January 1, 2024 (December 14, 2016 through such date, the “Contract Term”). In respect of 2020, Mr. Tanger was entitled to an annual base salary of $850,000 (subject to a voluntary reduction), participation in the incentive cash bonus plan and receipt of annual awards under the Incentive Award Plan on terms at least as favorable as annual awards granted to other senior executives. In 2021-2023, Mr. Tanger was entitled to a reduced base salary ($807,500 for 2021, $637,500 for 2022, and $425,000 for

2023) and was eligible for an annual incentive bonus ranging from 0-150% of his then-current annual base salary (with a target bonus opportunity of no less than 100% of annual base salary) and annual awards under the Incentive Award Plan on terms determined by the Board.

During the Contract Term and for ninety (90) days thereafter, the Company and the Operating Partnership will also provide Mr. Tanger with term life insurance coverage under a policy or policies in the face amount of $5 million in the aggregate, with the Company’s share of premiums not to exceed $67,000 annually. In the event of termination of employment prior to the end of the Contract Term (other than due to death, for Cause or without Good Reason), the Company and the Operating Partnership are obligated to pay Mr. Tanger (or the relevant insurer) an amount equal to the premiums required to maintain such policy or policies through the end of the Contract Term.

If Mr. Tanger’s employment had been terminated without Cause or for Good Reason on or following January 1, 2021, but prior to the end of the Contract Term, Mr. Tanger would have received, subject to execution and non-revocation of a release in favor of the Company and its affiliates, (1) a payment equal to two hundred percent (200%) of his annual base salary then in effect, payable in installments over 12 months subject to the limitations required to comply with Section 409A, (2) a cash payment equal to his annual bonus for the year of termination, prorated based on the number of days of employment in such year, payable on or before when the bonus would have been payable if termination had not occurred, and (3) an amount equal to 18 months of COBRA continuation coverage for Mr. Tanger and his dependents, or if Mr. Tanger is not eligible to elect COBRA continuation coverage, premiums for the health insurance that Mr. Tanger obtains for himself and his dependents, in an amount not to exceed $2,500 per month, payable monthly for up to 18 months (the “COBRA Benefit”).

If Mr. Tanger’s employment had been terminated due to death or Disability, Mr. Tanger, or his estate, as applicable, would have received, within 30 days of termination, (1) a lump sum payment equal to the greater of (a) current base salary for the remainder of the Contract Term or (b) 100% of current base salary and (2) a cash payment equal to his annual bonus for the year of termination based on actual performance (and achievement of all individual performance goals), prorated based on the number of days of employment in such year, payable on or before when the bonus would have been payable if termination had not occurred.

As noted above on page 53, on December 31, 2023, Mr. Tanger's employment terminated due to the expiration of the Contract Term, at which time Mr. Tanger was deemed to have retired. Pursuant to his employment agreement, upon retirement, Mr. Tanger was eligible to receive, subject to his execution and non-revocation of a release in favor of the Company and its affiliates, (1) a cash payment equal to his annual bonus for the year of termination, prorated based on the number of days of employment in such year, payable on or before when the bonus would have been payable if termination had not occurred (as noted in the table below, because Mr. Tanger's retirement did not enhance his bonus entitlement, Mr. Tanger received the full amount of his 2023 bonus irrespective of his retirement) and (2) a cash payment equal to 18 months of COBRA continuation coverage for Mr. Tanger and his dependents (if Mr. Tanger had not been eligible to elect COBRA continuation coverage, he would have received premiums for privately obtained health insurance for himself and his dependents, in an amount not to exceed $2,500 per month, payable monthly for up to 18 months). Further, Mr. Tanger's employment agreement provides that the Company was required to offer him a consulting arrangement, pursuant to which Mr. Tanger would make himself reasonably available in the 18-month period following termination to provide consulting services to the Company, with a maximum payment of $250,000 per year. As noted above, Mr. Tanger waived his right to a consulting arrangement following termination per the terms of the Letter Agreement.

In addition, if Mr. Tanger’s employment had been terminated without Cause or for Good Reason, or due to death or Disability, all unvested restricted Common Shares and restricted share units subject to time-based vesting (“Time Based Awards”), including restricted Common Shares received upon settlement of Performance Based Awards, would have fully vested and all unvested equity awards subject to performance based vesting (“Performance Based Awards”) not yet settled in Common Shares would have continued to vest pro-rata through the date of termination subject to the actual achievement of the applicable performance measures. Because Mr. Tanger’s employment was terminated due to expiration of the Contract Term, all Time Based Awards fully vested and all Performance Based Awards will remain outstanding and eligible to vest based on actual achievement of the applicable performance measures.

Stephen J. Yalof

Stephen J. Yalof entered into an employment agreement effective April 10, 2020 and initially expiring on December 31, 2023. This contract was amended, effective December 31, 2023, to extend the term of the agreement to December 31, 2026 (or December 31, 2027, unless either party provides notice of non-renewal at least 180 days prior to December 31, 2026). Mr. Yalof’s contract, as amended, provides that he will serve as President and CEO of the Company and the Partnership and (subject to re-election by our shareholders from time to time) as a member of the Board. Pursuant to the terms of the amended agreement, Mr. Yalof’s annual base salary may not be less than $900,000 and he is eligible to receive an annual incentive bonus based on performance criteria approved by the Compensation and Human Capital Committee ranging from 0 – 250% of his annual base salary, with a target bonus opportunity of 150%.

Under the amended agreement, Mr. Yalof is eligible to participate in the Company’s annual long term incentive program on a basis no less favorable than that afforded to other senior officers and the aggregate grant date fair value of Mr. Yalof’s 2024 long-term incentive award will be at least $3.75 million, 40% of which will be in the form of time-vested restricted shares and 60% of which will be in the form of performance-based share units.

If Mr. Yalof’s employment is terminated by reason of death or Disability, he or his estate will receive as additional compensation an amount equal to his annual base salary and a cash payment equal to his annual bonus for the year of termination, prorated based on the number of days of employment in such year.

Further, if his employment is terminated by us without Cause, or by him for Good Reason, he will receive (a) a severance payment equal to two times (i) his annual base salary, plus (ii) his average annual bonus received for the three most recent calendar years, all payable in installments over 12 months and (b) a monthly COBRA continuation subsidy for Mr. Yalof and his dependents, payable for up to 18 months. These severance benefits will be conditioned on Mr. Yalof’s execution of a release of claims.

In addition, if Mr. Yalof’s employment is terminated without Cause or for Good Reason, or due to his death or Disability, he will be entitled to the following equity award treatment: (x) pro-rata vesting of his time vested awards, and (y) pro-rata survival of his performance-based equity awards (which will then vest to the extent the applicable performance goals are achieved at the end of the performance period); provided that if such termination occurs within 12 months following a Change in Control, his performance-based equity awards will vest immediately, without pro-ration, assuming target performance or, if greater, actual performance through the date of termination (with performance goals equitably adjusted to reflect the shortened performance period). However, if the treatment of equity awards provided for in his individual equity award agreements or the Tanger Inc. Executive Severance and Change of Control Plan (the “Executive Severance Plan”) as then in effect is more beneficial than the treatment described above, Mr. Yalof will be entitled to the more beneficial treatment.

If, by the 120th day prior to the expiration of the amended agreement, we do not offer Mr. Yalof a new employment agreement on terms and conditions substantially similar to the amended agreement, or if the term of the amended agreement is not extended due to delivery by us of notice of nonrenewal, Mr. Yalof’s employment will terminate on the last day of the term of the amended agreement and he will receive an amount equal to (i) 100% of his annual base salary, and (ii) an annual bonus for the year of termination.

The amended agreement also provides that, during and following Mr. Yalof’s employment, we will maintain officers and directors fiduciary liability insurance covering him on terms and conditions no less favorable than the terms and conditions applicable to other our other executive officers and Board members.

Michael J. Bilerman

Michael J. Bilerman entered into an offer letter with us on September 14, 2022 providing for his employment as Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Investment Officer. The offer letter provides for an initial annual base salary of $500,000, an initial sign-on equity grant of restricted shares with a target grant date value of $2,500,000 and 250,000 options under the Incentive Award Plan. Such restricted shares shall vest as to 50% of the underlying grant on the second anniversary of Mr. Bilerman’s commencement of employment (the “Effective Date”) and 25% on each of the third and fourth anniversaries of the Effective Date, and the options shall vest as to 60% of the total options on the third anniversary of the Effective Date and 20% on each of the fourth and fifth anniversaries of the Effective Date. Furthermore, Mr. Bilerman will be eligible to receive an annual incentive bonus based on performance criteria approved by the Compensation and Human Capital Committee ranging from 0-150% of his annual base salary, with a target bonus opportunity of 100%. For 2023, Mr. Bilerman will receive an annual base salary of no less than $500,000 and an annual cash incentive bonus of no less than 100% of his annual base salary (subject to the Company achieving target performance). Beginning in 2023, Mr. Bilerman is eligible for an annual long-term equity grant with a value equal to $1,500,000, subject generally to time-based vesting (40%) and performance-based vesting (60%). The offer letter also provides that Mr. Bilerman was entitled to a cash sign-on bonus of $1,000,000 within thirty days of his start date, which bonus is subject to repayment in the event Mr. Bilerman’s employment is terminated for “cause” or for “resignation without good reason” (each as defined in the executive severance plan) prior to the second anniversary of his start date. The repayment obligation of the sign-on bonus will be forgiven by 50% on each of the first two anniversaries of the start date.

Non-Compete and Other Provisions

During the term of Mr. Tanger’s employment and for a period of twelve (12) months thereafter (the “Restricted Period”), Mr. Tanger is generally prohibited from engaging in the management, development or construction of any factory outlet centers or competing retail commercial property or in any active or passive investment in property connected with a factory outlet center or a competing retail commercial property. During the period following termination of employment, this prohibition applies only with respect to properties that are within a fifty (50) mile radius of (1) any commercial property owned, leased or operated by the Company and/or related entities on the date of termination of employment or (2) any commercial property which the Company and/or any related entity actively negotiated to acquire, lease or operate within the six (6)-month period prior to the date of termination of employment (the “Restricted Territory”). Mr. Tanger may, however, own an interest in or provide services to an entity affiliated with another entity that is engaged in competition with the company so long as the entity he owns the interest in or provides services to does not itself engage in competition with the Company. During the Restricted Period, Mr. Tanger will also be subject to certain restrictions on solicitation of employees and other service providers of the Company and/or related entities and solicitation of business partners and business affiliates of the Company and/or related entities.

In addition, during the term of employment for Mr. Yalof and for one year after, if his employment is terminated for any reason, with respect to the Company, the Operating Partnership, their respective subsidiaries and other entities under common control with the Company and/or the Operating Partnership as of the date of termination (the “Related Entities”), he is prohibited from engaging, in the Restricted Territory, in (a) management, development, operation, or construction (other than in the performance of his duties for Company and the Related Entities) of (i) any factory outlet centers or (ii) retail commercial property that competes with factory outlet centers, (b) any active or passive investment by or on behalf of himself (other than in the performance of his duties for the Company and the Related Entities) in an entity that operates, manages, or constructs, or invests in property used for (i) a factory outlet center or (ii) retail commercial property that competes with factory outlet centers, or (c) his performance of the same or substantially similar duties, work, or responsibilities that he performed for the Company and/or a Related Entity involving the same or substantially similar products or services as those with which the Executive worked while employed by the Company.

Mr. Tanger and Mr. Yalof are employed and compensated by both the Operating Partnership and the Company. The Compensation and Human Capital Committee believes that the allocation of such persons’ compensation between the Company and the Operating Partnership reflects the services provided by such persons with respect to each entity. All other employees are employed solely by the Operating Partnership or one of the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries.

All payments and benefits due to Mr. Tanger and Mr. Yalof under their respective agreements are subject to reduction to the extent necessary to avoid federal excise tax on certain “excess parachute payments” under Section 4999 of the Code.

Equity Compensation Plan Information

Executive Severance Plan

On March 31, 2021, we adopted the Executive Severance Plan, pursuant to which certain of our executives, including Mr. Bilerman, Ms. Swanson and Mr. Wingrove, are eligible to receive certain benefits in the event of certain qualifying terminations and pursuant to which Mr. Wingrove became entitled to benefits in 2024, following his resignation for good reason.

In the event the executive’s employment is terminated by us without Cause or by the executive for Good Reason other than on or within 12 months following a change of control (each as defined in the Executive Severance Plan), subject to the executive’s execution and non-revocation of release and continued compliance with the applicable restrictive covenants, such executive will be entitled to receive (i) a severance payment equal to the product of (a) the sum of (x) 100% such participant’s annual base salary for the year in which termination occurs and (y) the average annual performance bonus for the three consecutive years immediately preceding the year in which the termination occurs (or if such executive has been eligible to receive an annual performance bonus for fewer than three years, such fewer number of years), to be paid monthly over the succeeding number of months equal to such executive’s termination payment multiple (currently, one times (1x) for each executive) (the “Severance Payment”), or over twelve months, and (b) such executive’s applicable termination payment multiple, (ii) a monthly COBRA subsidy for up to 12 months, and (iii) full acceleration of time-based equity awards, with a pro-rata portion of performance-based awards remaining outstanding and eligible to vest, as determined based on actual achievement of the applicable performance goals through the end of the applicable performance period(s) (the “Equity Award Acceleration”).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such termination occurs on or within 12 months following a Change of Control (as defined in the Executive Severance Plan), the executive will instead receive severance of (i) two times (2x) the Severance Payment, (ii) a monthly COBRA subsidy for up to 24 months, and (iii) full acceleration of time-based equity awards and, to the extent any performance-based awards are assumed, substituted or replaced in connection with such change of control, acceleration of such performance-based awards at the greater of (a) actual performance through the termination date and (b) target performance.

If the executive’s employment is terminated due to death or Disability (as defined in the Executive Severance Plan), the executive or the executive’s estate will receive (i) a lump sum payment equal to half (0.5x) of the executive’s annual base salary, payable in a lump sum, (ii) a pro-rata portion of the annual bonus earned for the year in which termination occurs, payable at the time in which annual bonuses are paid generally to other executives of the Company for the applicable year, and (iii) the Equity Award Acceleration.

Any severance payments or benefits under the Executive Severance Plan will be subject to a Section 280G “best net” cutback in which such payments or benefits will only be reduced to the extent it results in a better tax position for the executive.

As a condition to participation in the executive severance plan executives are required to execute a participation letter agreement, pursuant to which they will be subject to non-competition and non-solicitation covenants for a period of time post-termination equal to the applicable severance multiple (e.g. 6 months, 12 months or 24 months) as well as perpetual confidentiality and non-disparagement covenants.

Andrew R. Wingrove Separation

Mr. Wingrove’s resignation constituted a resignation with “good reason” (as defined in the Executive Severance Plan) and therefore entitled him to receive the following severance benefits: (i) twelve months’ base salary, equal to $330,000, payable in twelve equal monthly installments, (ii) an annual average performance bonus equal to $441,019, payable in twelve equal monthly installments, (iii) a monthly COBRA subsidy for up to twelve months with an estimated value of $28,000, (iv) the full acceleration of 56,984 time-based restricted shares, with an approximate value of $1.6 million, determined based on the closing price of our common stock on Mr. Wingrove’s termination date and (v) a pro-rata portion of his performance-based awards remain outstanding and eligible to vest based on actual performance through the end of the applicable performance periods. The pro-ration of Mr. Wingrove’s performance-based awards resulted in 17,514 notional units remaining outstanding and eligible to vest following his separation. The value of these performance-based awards is not determinable at this time, as the performance periods for these awards remain ongoing. However, assuming the maximum amount (100%) of these units are eventually earned and based on the closing price of our common stock on Mr. Wingrove’s separation date, the value of the number of shares subject to these awards was approximately $472,000. As part of the Company’s severance arrangement with Mr. Wingrove, in addition to the severance benefits he was entitled to under the Executive Severance Plan, the Company agreed to pay Mr. Wingrove an additional 2 months of COBRA subsidy and a

Equity Compensation Plan Information

Assumptions

The amounts shown below assume that such termination or Change of Control was effective December 31, 2023, and thus amounts earned through such time are estimates of the amounts that would be paid out to the executives upon such termination or Change of Control. The actual amounts to be paid can only be determined at the time of such executive’s separation from the Company and/or the Operating Partnership or upon a Change of Control.

In addition, any severance benefits or additional compensation that these executives are eligible to receive upon termination will be reduced to the extent necessary to prevent the executive from having any liability for the federal excise tax levied on certain “excess parachute payments” under section 4999 of the Code. The amounts shown in the table below are the maximum amounts the executives would be eligible to receive upon termination assuming no such reduction in compensation or benefits would be applied.

Also considered in the table below is the estimated value of restricted Common Shares earned upon certain termination of employment or a Change of Control from the conversion of the notional units under the Company’s 2023, 2022 and 2021 PSPs. Under such plans, notional units will convert into restricted Common Shares upon the satisfaction of certain TSR thresholds over a three-year performance period. For a further discussion of the plans, see “Long-Term Incentives: Description and Analysis” on page 49.

Upon a termination without Cause, for Good Reason, or due to death or Disability, each notional unit will convert based upon the share price at the end of the three-year performance period, and the number of restricted Common Shares earned will equal a prorated portion of the restricted Common Shares that would have been earned had a termination not occurred (prorated based on the period of employment during the three-year performance period). Such restricted Common Shares will vest immediately at the end of the three-year performance period.

Upon a Change of Control (as defined in our Incentive Award Plan), the absolute share price appreciation (absolute TSR) targets will be reduced pro-rata when the Change in Control occurs during the three-year performance period, and each notional unit will convert based upon the share price as of the Change of Control. Any restricted Common Shares earned will vest immediately prior to the Change of Control. If the notional units are earned, and thereby converted into restricted Common Shares, then award recipients will be entitled to receive a payment of all dividends and other distributions through the termination date or Change of Control that would have been paid had the number of earned restricted Common Shares been issued at the beginning of the performance period.

(1)The terms of the cash severance payments due each officer under each scenario are more fully described elsewhere in this Proxy Statement under the caption “Employment Contracts.” Such cash severance payment obligations were modified for certain named executive officers upon adoption of the Executive Severance Plan in 2021. Mr. Yalof is entitled to receive his cash severance payments in the event his employment is terminated without Cause or by Mr. Yalof for Good Reason, regardless of whether such termination occurs within a certain period following a Change of Control. Mr. Tanger's employment agreement provides that, upon a termination for retirement, he will be paid a pro-rated portion of his annual bonus for the year of termination; however, because his employment agreement does not require employment beyond 1/01/24 as a condition of bonus entitlement, a retirement on 1/01/24 would not enhance his right to a bonus, and no amount is therefore shown.

(2)Amounts shown in this column include the value of restricted Common Shares, restricted share units and/or share options which were unvested at December 31, 2023 and that would immediately vest upon termination of employment or Change of Control. This column also includes the value of Common Shares issuable in respect of 2021, 2022 and 2023 PSP notional unit awards upon certain terminations of employment. In the event of a termination which results in the total or a pro-rata portion of an NEO’s PSP awards remaining outstanding through the end of the applicable performance period and then vesting based on actual performance, the value of the 2021 PSP awards is included at the maximum level (100%), which reflects the actual performance outcome for those awards. The value of the 2022 and 2023 PSP awards is not determinable at this time, as the applicable performance periods remain ongoing. However, for purposes of this table, we have included a number of shares corresponding to the maximum performance level (100%) for both the 2022 and 2023 PSP awards. For each of the 2021, 2022 and 2023 PSP awards, the value of the performance shares included in this table takes into account, for any completed performance year, the actual dividends earned through December 31, 2023. No value is included in respect of dividends that may be declared for 2024 and 2025. In this table, each share is valued at $27.72, the closing price of our shares on December 29, 2023 (the last trading day of the year).

(3)For Mr. Tanger, this amount includes estimated costs of continuation of benefits following termination for group medical and dental coverage. For Mr. Yalof, this amount includes the estimated costs of continuation of benefits for up to 18 months for group medical and dental coverage. For Mr. Bilerman, Ms. Swanson, and Mr. Wingrove this amount includes the estimated costs of continuation of benefits for up to 12 months in connection with a qualifying termination other than within 12 months following a change of control, and up to 24 months for group medical and dental coverage in connection with a qualifying termination within 12 months following a change of control.

(4)As described above on page 53, Mr. Tanger actually retired on January 1, 2024 and therefore the amounts in this row reflect his actual entitlement upon his retirement with respect to the accelerated vesting of his 219,920 shares of restricted stock and restricted stock units. With respect to the 282,165 notional units subject to his 2021, 2022 and 2023 PSP awards, those awards were subject to open performance periods as of December 31, 2023 and therefore this row reflects an estimate of his actual entitlement with respect to those awards based on the maximum number of shares issuable thereunder (i.e., 100% of the number of units) multiplied by $27.72 (the closing price of our shares on December 29, 2023, the last trading day of the year). Since that time, on February 21, 2024, the performance period ended with respect to the 155,441 notional units subject to Mr. Tanger’s 2021 PSP award and he did in fact earn 100% of the units subject to that award (valued at $4,517,115, based on our closing stock price of $29.06 as of that date). The 126,724 notional units subject to his 2022 and 2023 PSP awards remain outstanding and subject to open performance periods.

(5)Amounts are reported in this table consistent with the requirements of Item 402(j) of Regulation S-K; however, the actual severance benefits received by Mr. Wingrove in connection with his termination of employment on February 9, 2024, is described on page 67.

	Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
		The Board recommends that you vote FOR the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024.

The Audit Committee has appointed the firm of Deloitte & Touche LLP to audit the accounts of the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024 and to perform such other services as may be required. The submission of this matter for approval by shareholders is not legally required; however, the Board believes that such submission is consistent with best practices in corporate governance and is an opportunity for shareholders to provide direct feedback to the Board on an important issue of corporate governance. If the shareholders do not approve the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP, the selection of such firm as our independent registered public accounting firm will be reconsidered. Even if the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP is ratified, the Audit Committee retains the discretion to select a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company.

Deloitte & Touche LLP served as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. There are no affiliations between the Company and Deloitte & Touche LLP, its partners, associates or employees, other than its engagement as an independent registered public accounting firm for the Company. Representatives of Deloitte & Touche LLP are expected to be present electronically at the meeting, will have an opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and will be available to respond to appropriate questions from shareholders. See the “Report of the Audit Committee,” included below, for information relating to the fees billed to the Company by Deloitte & Touche LLP for the fiscal years ended 2023 and 2022.

Vote Required. The ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm will be approved if the votes cast for the proposal exceed the votes cast against the proposal, provided that a quorum is present. Accordingly, abstentions and Common Shares present at the meeting for any other purpose but which are not voted on this proposal will not affect the outcome of the vote on the proposal. Because brokers have discretionary authority to vote on the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP, we do not expect any broker non-votes in connection with the ratification.

Report of the

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee has provided the following report:

During 2023, we reviewed with the Company’s management, Director of Internal Audit and the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Deloitte & Touche LLP, the scope of the annual audit and audit plans, the results of internal and external audit examinations, the evaluation by Deloitte & Touche LLP of the Company’s system of internal control, the quality of the Company’s financial reporting and the Company’s process for legal and regulatory compliance. We also monitored the progress and results of the testing of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Management is responsible for the Company’s system of internal control, the financial reporting process and the assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for performing an integrated audit and issuing reports and opinions on the following:

1.the Company’s consolidated financial statements; and

2.the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

As provided in our Charter, our responsibilities include monitoring and overseeing these processes.

Consistent with this oversight responsibility, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm reports directly to us. We appointed Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2023 and approved the compensation of the firm. We reviewed and approved all non-audit services performed by Deloitte & Touche LLP during 2023 and determined that the provision of the services was compatible with maintaining Deloitte & Touche LLP’s independence. During 2023, we pre-approved certain specific non-audit services and associated fees to be performed by Deloitte & Touche LLP, including (1) certain consultations regarding possible accounting and reporting implications of proposed transactions and of newly issued or proposed authoritative accounting pronouncements for which any one service would be $30,000 or less and (2) certain tax consulting services for which any one service would be $50,000 or less, and for all such services which would be less than $250,000 in the aggregate. In addition, we have delegated to the Chair of the Audit Committee the authority to pre-approve other non-audit services to be performed by Deloitte & Touche LLP and associated fees, and the Chair reports all such decisions at the Audit Committee’s next regularly scheduled meeting.

We have received the written disclosures and letter from Deloitte & Touche LLP required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB”) regarding Deloitte & Touche LLP’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and we discussed with Deloitte & Touche LLP its independence relative to us.

We reviewed and discussed the 2023 consolidated financial statements and management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting with management and Deloitte & Touche LLP. We also discussed the certification process with the CEO and CFO. Management represented to us that the Company’s consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective. We discussed with Deloitte & Touche LLP the matters required to be discussed by Auditing Standard No. 1301, Communications with Audit Committees, issued by the PCAOB and the SEC.

Based on these discussions and reviews, we recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 for filing with the SEC. This report is made by the undersigned members of the Audit Committee. This report shall not be deemed incorporated by reference by any general statement incorporating this proxy statement into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the Exchange Act, except to the extent we specifically incorporate this information by reference, and shall not otherwise be deemed filed under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.

	Approval, on an Advisory Basis, of Executive Compensation
		The board recommends that you vote FOR, on a non-binding basis, the approval of the compensation of our named executive officers

We are seeking advisory shareholder approval of the compensation of the NEOs as disclosed in the section of this proxy statement titled “Executive Compensation.” The Company has determined to hold a “Say-on-Pay” advisory vote every year. In accordance with this determination and Section 14A of the Exchange Act, shareholders are being asked to vote on the following advisory resolution:

“RESOLVED, that the shareholders approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission in the Company’s Proxy Statement for the 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (which disclosure includes Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables and any related material).”

Although the vote is advisory, and non-binding, the Board of Directors and the Compensation and Human Capital Committee will review the voting results in connection with their ongoing evaluation of the Company’s compensation program. The next “Say-on-Pay” advisory vote is expected to occur at the 2025 annual meeting of our shareholders.

As described more fully in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section of this Proxy Statement, the Company’s compensation program is designed to reward both teamwork and the individual officer’s contribution to the Company with respect to annual and longer term goals. The Company’s primary components of compensation for its executive officers have been base salary, annual incentive cash bonuses and long-term equity-based incentive compensation.

The Compensation and Human Capital Committee believes that an executive compensation program that strongly links both the short-term and long-term performance of the Company and the compensation of our executive officers is a key driver of our long-term financial success.

The Company believes that our current executive compensation program represents a thoughtful, balanced program with a pay-for-performance structure that focuses on Company performance and reflects the feedback of our shareholders.

Say-on-Pay Responsiveness

We have historically taken into consideration the results of our advisory votes on the Company’s executive compensation program and NEO compensation decisions, and since 2014, we have proactively engaged in ongoing shareholder outreach in order to hear feedback about our executive compensation program directly from shareholders. We annually conduct outreach efforts, now led by Ms. Bridget M. Ryan-Berman, our Lead Independent Director, to understand and address any potential shareholder concerns.

In addition to our Shareholder Engagement from our Board of Directors, management maintains active dialogue with the financial community and during 2023, we elevated our efforts to engage with the investment community and other key stakeholders through frequent discussions, meetings and property tours.

Our shareholders approved the 2023 advisory executive compensation say on pay vote at a rate of 96.3% of votes cast. We believe that the overwhelming support of our shareholders, as shown in the chart below, indicates that our shareholders are generally supportive of our approach to executive compensation.

2023 CEO

Pay Ratio

As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information regarding the relationship of the annual total compensation of our CEO to the annual total compensation of our median employee. We consider our pay ratio to be a reasonable estimate and calculated in a manner that is intended to be consistent with the requirements of Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K. During 2023, we de-emphasized the use of part-time employees in our workforce. This resulted in a change in our employee population that we expected would significantly affect our pay ratio disclosure. Accordingly, in accordance with SEC rules, we identified a new median employee for 2023. In selecting our new median employee , we reviewed the 2023 total cash compensation of all employees in service with us as of December 31, 2023. We used total cash compensation for this purpose because we do not grant equity awards to many of our employees and generally do not pay other non-cash forms of compensation that are material.

After our median employee was identified, we calculated annual total compensation for such employee in accordance with SEC rules (i.e., using the same methodology we use to calculate annual total compensation for our named executive officers in the Summary Compensation Table earlier in this Proxy Statement).

Our median employee is a director at one of our centers and had annual total compensation of $84,002 in 2023. Our CEO had annual total compensation of $6,100,202 in 2023. Based on this information, for 2023 the estimated ratio of the annual total compensation of our CEO to the median of the annual total compensation of all our other employees is 73 to 1.

(1)Total Compensation for the Principal Executive Officer as presented in the Summary Compensation Table above. The Principal Executive Officer for 2023, 2022 and 2021 was Stephen Yalof. The Principal Executive Officer for 2020 was Steven Tanger.

(2)Compensation Actually Paid reflects the respective amounts set forth in columns (1) and (3), adjusted as set forth in the tables below, as determined in accordance with SEC rules. The dollar amounts of compensation in columns do not reflect the actual amount of compensation earned or paid during the applicable year. For information regarding the decisions made by our Human Capital and Compensation Committee in regards to executive compensation for each fiscal year, please see the Compensation Discussion & Analysis sections of the respective proxy statements for each year.

(3)Average Total Compensation by year for non-PEO NEOs as presented in the Summary Compensation Table Above. The following non-PEO NEOs are included in the average figures shown, by year:

(a)2023 - Steven B. Tanger, Michael J. Bilerman, Leslie A. Swanson, and Andrew R. Wingrove

(b)2022 - Steven B. Tanger, Michael J. Bilerman, Chad D. Perry, Leslie A. Swanson, James F. Williams, and Thomas J. Guerrieri Jr.

(c)2021 - Steven B. Tanger, James F. Williams, Chad D. Perry, and Leslie A. Swanson

(d)2020 - Stephen J. Yalof, James F. Williams, Chad D. Perry, and Lisa J. Morrison

(4)Represents the cumulative total shareholder return (TSR) for the Company assuming $100 was initially invested for the period beginning December 31, 2019 through the years ending December 31, 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023 respectively.

(5)Represents the cumulative total shareholder return (TSR) of the DOW Jones U.S. Real Estate Retail Index assuming $100 was initially invested for the period beginning December 31, 2019 through the years ending December 31 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023 respectively.

(6)Net Income, as presented in the Company’s Consolidated Income Statements in the Company’s Form 10-K for each of the years ending December 31, 2023, 2022, 2021, and 2020. We do not consider Net Income to be an appropriate measurement of a real estate company’s financial performance, mostly due to its assumption that the value of real estate assets diminish ratably over time through historical cost depreciation. We believe FFO and Core FFO, as described in Note (7) below, to be a more appropriate measurement of financial performance.

(7)Core FFO per diluted share is a non-GAAP financial measure of a real estate company’s operating performance. Core FFO (formerly referred to as AFFO) is defined as FFO, which is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, further adjusted to eliminate the impact of certain items that we do not consider indicative of ongoing operating performance. We consider Core FFO per diluted share a meaningful measure of operating performance primarily due to its exclusion of historical cost depreciation as required by GAAP, which assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes ratably over time, as well as its exclusion of items mentioned above. Specifically, Core FFO per diluted share is used to evaluate NEO performance under our 2023 Incentive Cash Bonus Plan, a short-term cash incentive program providing for bonus payouts based on the achievement of Core FFO per diluted share as well as several other financial and strategic performance objectives. A reconciliation of Core FFO per diluted share to net income is included within Appendix A.

Shareholder Proposals and Nominations for the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders

Shareholder Proposals for Inclusion in the 2025 Proxy Statement

Proposals of shareholders pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act intended to be presented at our Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held in 2025 (the “2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders”) must be received by us no later than December 6, 2024. Such proposals must comply with the requirements as to form and substance established by the SEC for such proposals in order to be included in our Proxy Statement. Proposals should be sent to Tanger Inc., 3200 Northline Avenue, Suite 360, Greensboro, North Carolina 27408, Attn: Corporate Secretary.

Other Proposals and Shareholder Nominations for Director

Under our By-Laws, certain procedures are provided that a shareholder must follow to nominate persons for election as directors or to propose an item of business at an annual meeting of shareholders that is not intended to be included in our Proxy Statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8. These procedures provide that nominations for director and/or an item of business to be introduced at an Annual Meeting of Shareholders must be submitted in writing to the Corporate Secretary at our principal executive offices. We must receive the notice of your intention to introduce a nomination or to propose an item of business not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day and not later than the close of business on the 90th day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting.

For the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, such nominations or proposals must be received by our Corporate Secretary not earlier than the close of business on January 18, 2025 and not later than the close of business on February 17, 2025 in order to be considered at the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. If we do not receive notice during that time period, any such defective matters raised at the meeting will be disregarded. A shareholder’s notice to nominate a director or bring any other business before the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders must set forth certain information specified in our By-Laws.

If the date of the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after May 17, 2025, shareholders must submit such nominations or proposals not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to the meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to the meeting or by the close of business on the 10th day following the date on which public announcement of the date of the meeting is first made by us. In addition, with respect to nominations for directors, if the number of directors to be elected at the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders is increased and there is no public announcement by us naming all of the nominees for director or specifying the size of the increased Board at least 70 days prior to May 17, 2025, notice will also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it is delivered to the Corporate Secretary at our principal executive offices not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by us.

In addition to satisfying the foregoing requirements under our By-Laws, to comply with the universal proxy rules, shareholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than our nominees for the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders must provide notice that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act.

Other Matters

Shareholder Suggestions for Director Nominations

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board will consider suggestions from shareholders for nominees for election as directors to be presented at the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The person proposing the nominee must be a shareholder entitled to vote at the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and the suggestion must be made pursuant to timely notice. Shareholder suggestions for director nominees must be received between January 18, 2025 and February 17, 2025, and should include: (i) the candidate’s written consent to being named in the Proxy Statement as a nominee and to serve as a director if elected, (ii) the name and address of the shareholder submitting the suggestion or beneficial owner on whose behalf the proposed candidate is being suggested for nomination, and (iii) the class and number of our shares owned beneficially and of record by the shareholder or beneficial owner submitting the suggestion. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider candidates suggested by shareholders on the same terms as candidates selected by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

Board Committee Charters, Corporate Governance Guidelines and Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

Each of the Board’s Audit Committee, Compensation and Human Capital Committee, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board. The Board has also adopted written Corporate Governance Guidelines in accordance with listing requirements of the New York Stock Exchange and a written Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to directors, management and employees of the Company. We have made available copies of our Board Committee Charters, Corporate Governance Guidelines and Code of Business Conduct and Ethics on our website at www.tanger.com by first clicking on “INVESTOR RELATIONS”, then “GOVERNANCE”, and then “GOVERNANCE DOCUMENTS.” No information contained on the Company’s website is part of or incorporated into this Proxy Statement. Copies of these documents may also be obtained free of charge by sending a request in writing to Tanger Inc., 3200 Northline Avenue, Suite 360, Greensboro, North Carolina 27408, Attn: Corporate Secretary.

Householding of Proxy Materials

The SEC permits a single set of proxy materials to be sent to any address at which two or more shareholders reside. This delivery method is referred to as “householding.” Each shareholder would receive a separate voter instruction form if the household received printed proxy materials. This procedure reduces the volume of duplicate information shareholders receive and reduces mailing and printing costs. A number of brokerage firms have instituted householding.

Depending upon the practices of your broker, bank or other nominee, you may be required to contact your nominee directly to discontinue duplicate mailings to your household. If you wish to receive a separate copy of an annual report, Proxy Statement, or Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, as applicable, you must contact your broker, bank or other nominee. If you hold Common Shares in your own name as a shareholder of record, householding will not apply to you. We agree to deliver promptly, upon written or oral request, a separate set of proxy materials, as requested, to any shareholder at the shared address to which a single set of those documents was delivered. If you prefer to receive separate copies of the annual report, Proxy Statement or Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials they may be obtained free of charge by calling our Investor Relations Department at (336) 292-3010 or sending your request to the attention of the Corporate Secretary of the Company at 3200 Northline Avenue, Suite 360, Greensboro, NC 27408.

If you are currently a shareholder sharing an address with another shareholder and wish to receive only one set of future proxy materials for your household, please contact the above phone number or address.

Annual Report on Form 10-K

A copy of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, including financial statements and schedules, but not including exhibits, as filed with the SEC, will be sent to any shareholder of record on March 22, 2024 without charge upon written request addressed to: Corporate Secretary, 3200 Northline Avenue, Suite 360, Greensboro, NC 27408.

A reasonable fee will be charged for copies of exhibits. You may also access this Proxy Statement and our Annual Report on Form 10-K at http://www.edocumentview.com/SKT. You also may access our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 at www.tanger.com.

Other Business

We know of no other business which will come before the meeting for action. However, if any business other than that described in this Proxy Statement comes before the meeting, the persons designated as proxies will have authority to vote in accordance with their best judgment with respect to such business.

•FOR the approval, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, of the compensation of our named executive officers; and

Beneficial Owner-Voting Instructions

If your shares are held in a brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, the broker, bank or nominee is considered, with respect to those shares, the shareholder nominee, or the shareholder of record, and you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in street name. If you are a beneficial owner but not the shareholder of record, your broker, bank or nominee will vote your shares as directed by you. If you wish to vote your shares online during the Annual Meeting, you should contact your broker, bank or nominee and see below under “Virtual Meeting Information.”

If your shares are held in street name by a broker, bank or other nominee, you may direct your vote by submitting your voting instructions to your broker, bank or other nominee. Please refer to the voting instructions provided by your broker, bank or other nominee. Your broker, bank or nominee must vote your shares as you direct.

Your broker has discretionary authority to vote on the ratification of the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm, and may do so even when you have not provided instructions on that matter. However, certain brokers will not exercise their discretionary authority to vote with respect to the ratification of the appointment of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024. Therefore, to be sure your shares are voted on all matters, please instruct your broker, bank or other nominee as to how you wish your shares to be voted.

General Information for Annual Meeting of Shareholders

Quorum and Voting Requirements

Under our By-Laws, a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on a matter constitutes a quorum for action on that matter at the annual meeting. Under our By-Laws and North Carolina law, Common Shares represented at the meeting by proxy for any purpose will be deemed present for quorum purposes for the remainder of the meeting. In uncontested elections, directors will be elected if the votes cast for the nominee’s election exceed the votes cast against the nominee’s election by the Common Shares entitled to vote in the election, provided that a quorum is present. In a contested election, directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the Common Shares entitled to vote in the election. An election is contested if the Corporate Secretary of the Company determines that the number of nominees, as determined in accordance with the Company’s By-Laws, exceeds the number of directors to be elected, and the Corporate Secretary has not rescinded such determination by the record date. If directors are to be elected by a plurality of votes cast, shareholders shall not be permitted to vote against a nominee. This year’s election is uncontested. Accordingly, directors will be elected if the votes cast for the nominee’s election exceed the votes cast against the nominee’s election. In addition, Proposals 2 and 3 will be approved if the votes cast for the proposal exceed the votes cast against the proposal. Abstentions, broker non-votes and shares that are present at the meeting for any other purpose but that are not voted on a particular proposal will not affect the outcome of the vote on the election of directors or Proposals 2 or 3. Any other proposal to properly come before the meeting will be approved if the votes cast for the proposal exceed the votes cast against the proposal unless the North Carolina Business Corporation Act requires a greater number of affirmative votes.

Revocation of Proxies

You may revoke your proxy at any time before it is voted. If you hold your shares in your own name as a shareholder of record, you may revoke your proxy or change your vote in any of the following ways:

•by signing and submitting a new proxy card;

•by submitting new votes through internet or telephone voting;

•by delivering to the Corporate Secretary of the Company written instructions revoking your proxy; or

•by attending the meeting online and voting during the meeting.

You cannot revoke your proxy by merely attending the meeting electronically. If you dissent, you will not have any rights of appraisal with respect to the matters to be acted upon at the meeting.

If your shares are held in street name by a broker, bank or other nominee, you may revoke your voting instructions by submitting new voting instructions to the broker, bank or other nominee who holds your shares.

Proxy Solicitation

We are making this solicitation and will pay the entire cost of preparing and distributing the Notice, proxy materials and Annual Report and of soliciting proxies from the holders of our Common Shares. If you choose to access the proxy materials and Annual Report and/or vote over the internet, you are responsible for any internet access charges you may incur. We have retained the services of Okapi Partners LLC to assist us in the solicitation of proxies for a fee of $10,500 plus out of pocket expenses. Our directors, officers and employees may, but without compensation other than their regular compensation, also solicit proxies by telephone, fax, e-mail or personal interview. We will reimburse banks, brokerage firms and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for reasonable expenses incurred by them in sending the Notice, proxy materials and Annual Report to beneficial owners.

In connection with our solicitation of proxies for our 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, we intend to file a proxy statement and WHITE proxy card with the SEC. Shareholders may obtain our proxy statement (and any amendments and supplements thereto) and other documents as and when filed with the SEC without charge from the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Questions and Answers at the Annual Meeting

As part of the Annual Meeting, we will hold a live Q&A session, during which we intend to answer questions from shareholders that are pertinent to the Company and the meeting matters, as time permits, after the completion of the Annual Meeting. Each shareholder is limited to no more than two questions. Questions should be succinct and only cover a single topic. We will not address questions that are, among other things:

•irrelevant to the business of the Company or to the business of the Annual Meeting;

•related to material non-public information of the Company, including the status or results of our business since the Annual Report and our last Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q;

•related to any pending, threatened or ongoing litigation;

•related to personal grievances;

•derogatory references to individuals or that are otherwise in bad taste;

•substantially repetitious of questions already made by another shareholder;

•in excess of the two question limit;

•in furtherance of the shareholder’s personal or business interests; or

•out of order or not otherwise suitable for the conduct of the Annual Meeting as determined by the Chair or Corporate Secretary in their reasonable judgment.

Additional information regarding the Q&A session will be available in the “Rules of Conduct” available on the Annual Meeting webpage.

Tanger Inc. | 2024 Proxy Statement 91

Appendix A - Definitions and
Reconciliations of GAAP and
Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Funds From Operations

Funds From Operations (“FFO”) is a widely used measure of the operating performance for real estate companies that supplements net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP. We determine FFO based on the definition set forth by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Nareit”), of which we are a member. In December 2018, Nareit issued “Nareit Funds From Operations White Paper - 2018 Restatement” which clarifies, where necessary, existing guidance and consolidates alerts and policy bulletins into a single document for ease of use. 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.

FFO is intended to exclude historical cost depreciation of real estate as required by GAAP, which assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes ratably over time. Historically, however, real estate values have risen or fallen with market conditions. Because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, gains and losses from property dispositions and extraordinary items, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities and interest costs, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income (loss).

We present FFO because we consider it an important supplemental measure of our operating performance. In addition, a portion of cash bonus compensation to certain members of management is based on our FFO or Core FFO, which is described in the section below. We believe it is useful for investors to have enhanced transparency into how we evaluate our performance and that of our management. In addition, FFO is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO when reporting their results. FFO is also widely used by us and others in our industry to evaluate and price potential acquisition candidates. We believe that FFO payout ratio, which represents regular distributions to common shareholders and unitholders of the Operating Partnership expressed as a percentage of FFO, is useful to investors because it facilitates the comparison of dividend coverage between REITs. Nareit has encouraged its member companies to report their FFO as a supplemental, industry-wide standard measure of REIT operating performance.

FFO has significant limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

•FFO does not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

•FFO does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

•Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and FFO does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and

•Other companies in our industry may calculate FFO differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Because of these limitations, FFO should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business or our dividend paying capacity. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using FFO only as a supplemental measure.

Core FFO

If applicable, we present Core Funds from Operations (“Core FFO”) as a supplemental measure of our performance. We define Core FFO as FFO further adjusted to eliminate the impact of certain items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance. These further adjustments are itemized in the table below, if applicable. You are encouraged to evaluate these adjustments and the reasons we consider them appropriate for supplemental analysis. In evaluating Core FFO you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation. Our presentation of Core FFO should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.

We present Core FFO because we believe it assists investors and analysts in comparing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. In addition, we believe it is useful for investors to have enhanced transparency into how we evaluate management’s performance and the effectiveness of our business strategies. We use Core FFO when certain material, unplanned transactions occur as a factor in evaluating management’s performance and to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies, and may use Core FFO when determining incentive compensation.

Core FFO has limitations as an analytical tool. Some of these limitations are:

•Core FFO does not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

•Core FFO does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

•Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Core FFO does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;

•Core FFO does not reflect the impact of certain cash charges resulting from matters we consider not to be indicative of our ongoing operations; and

•Other companies in our industry may calculate Core FFO differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Because of these limitations, Core FFO should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using Core FFO only as a supplemental measure.

Portfolio Net Operating Income and Same Center Net Operating Income

We present portfolio net operating income (“Portfolio NOI”) and same center net operating income (“Same Center NOI”) as supplemental measures of our operating performance. Portfolio NOI represents our property level net operating income, which is defined as total operating revenues less property operating expenses and excludes termination fees and non-cash adjustments including straight-line rent, net above and below market rent amortization, impairment charges, loss on early extinguishment of debt, and gains or losses on the sale of assets recognized during the periods presented. We define Same Center NOI as Portfolio NOI for the properties that were operational for the entire portion of both comparable reporting periods, and which were not acquired, or subject to a material expansion or non-recurring event, such as a natural disaster, during the comparable reporting periods.

We believe Portfolio NOI and Same Center NOI are non-GAAP metrics used by industry analysts, investors and management to measure the operating performance of our properties because they provide performance measures directly related to the revenues and expenses involved in owning and operating real estate assets and provide a perspective not immediately apparent from net income (loss), FFO or Core FFO. Because Same Center NOI excludes properties developed, redeveloped, acquired and sold; as well as non-cash adjustments, gains or losses on the sale of outparcels and termination rents; it highlights operating trends such as occupancy levels, rental rates and operating costs on properties that were operational for both comparable periods. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating Portfolio NOI and Same Center NOI, and accordingly, our Portfolio NOI and Same Center NOI may not be comparable to other REITs.

Tanger Inc. | 2024 Proxy Statement 93

Appendix A - Definitions and Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Portfolio NOI and Same Center NOI should not be considered alternatives to net income (loss) or as an indicator of our financial performance since they do not reflect the entire operations of our portfolio, nor do they reflect the impact of general and administrative expenses, acquisition-related expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization costs, other non-property income and losses, the level of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, or trends in development and construction activities which are significant economic costs and activities that could materially impact our results from operations. Because of these limitations, Portfolio NOI and Same Center NOI should not be viewed in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using Portfolio NOI and Same Center NOI only as supplemental measures.

Adjusted EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre

We present Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) as adjusted for items described below (“Adjusted EBITDA”), EBITDA for Real Estate (“EBITDAre”) and Adjusted EBITDAre, all non-GAAP measures, as supplemental measures of our operating performance. Each of these measures is defined as follows:

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income computed in accordance with GAAP before net interest expense, income taxes (if applicable), depreciation and amortization, gains and losses on sale of operating properties, joint venture properties, outparcels and other assets, impairment write-downs of depreciated property and of investment in unconsolidated joint ventures caused by a decrease in value of depreciated property in the affiliate, compensation related adjustments, casualty gains and losses, gains and losses on early extinguishment of debt, net and other items that we do not consider indicative of the Company's ongoing operating performance.

We determine EBITDAre based on the definition set forth by Nareit, which is defined as net income computed in accordance with GAAP before net interest expense, income taxes (if applicable), depreciation and amortization, gains and losses on sale of operating properties, gains and losses on change of control and impairment write-downs of depreciated property and of investment in unconsolidated joint ventures caused by a decrease in value of depreciated property in the affiliate and after adjustments to reflect our share of the EBITDAre of unconsolidated joint ventures.

Adjusted EBITDAre is defined as EBITDAre excluding gains and losses on early extinguishment of debt, net, casualty gains and losses, compensation related adjustments, gains and losses on sale of outparcels, and other items that that we do not consider indicative of the Company's ongoing operating performance.

We present Adjusted EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre as we believe they are useful for investors, creditors and rating agencies as they provide additional performance measures that are independent of a Company’s existing capital structure to facilitate the evaluation and comparison of the Company’s operating performance to other REITs and provide a more consistent metric for comparing the operating performance of the Company’s real estate between periods.

Adjusted EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre have significant limitations as analytical tools, including:

•They do not reflect our net interest expense;

•They do not reflect gains or losses on sales of operating properties or impairment write-downs of depreciated property and of investment in unconsolidated joint ventures caused by a decrease in value of depreciated property in the affiliate;

•Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAre do not reflect gains and losses on extinguishment of debt and other items that may affect operations; and

•Other companies in our industry may calculate these measures differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using Adjusted EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre only as supplemental measures.

Net Debt

We define Net Debt as Total Debt less Cash and Cash Equivalents and present this metric for both the consolidated portfolio and for the total portfolio, including the consolidated portfolio and the Company’s pro rata share of unconsolidated joint ventures. Net debt is a component of the Net debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio, which is defined as Net debt for the respective portfolio divided by Adjusted EBITDA (consolidated portfolio) or Adjusted EBITDAre (total portfolio at pro rata share). We use the Net debt to Adjusted EBITDA and the Net debt to Adjusted EBITDAre ratios to evaluate the Company's leverage. We believe this measure is an important indicator of the Company's ability to service its long-term debt obligations.

We do not consider Net Income to be an appropriate measurement of a real estate company’s financial performance, mostly due to its assumption that the value of real estate assets diminish ratably over time through historical cost depreciation.

Non-GAAP Measure Description

Core FFO per diluted share is a non-GAAP financial measure of a real estate company’s operating performance. Core FFO (formerly referred to as AFFO) is defined as FFO, which is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, further adjusted to eliminate the impact of certain items that we do not consider indicative of ongoing operating performance. We consider Core FFO per diluted share a meaningful measure of operating performance primarily due to its exclusion of historical cost depreciation as required by GAAP, which assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes ratably over time, as well as its exclusion of items mentioned above. Specifically, Core FFO per diluted share is used to evaluate NEO performance under our 2023 Incentive Cash Bonus Plan, a short-term cash incentive program providing for bonus payouts based on the achievement of Core FFO per diluted share as well as several other financial and strategic performance objectives.
